The Corpse Raising Technique wasn't a secret in the Metaphysics world, but the appearance of two Corpse Raising Clans was a bit strange.
Apart from the Corpse Sect, I couldn't think of any other Corpse Raising Clan in this world.
With suspicion in my heart, I carefully looked at the six people in the arena, trying to find clues from their faces.
However, after watching for a long time, I had to admit that apart from Lin Xue, I had never met the other five people in the arena.
When I was in the Corpse Sect, I hid in the secret passage. Except for the so-called 'Ancestor', I had peeked at everyone in the Corpse Sect. It could be said that there was no one in the Corpse Sect that I didn't know.
However, the Corpse Sect was too big, and I couldn't be sure that I had seen all the disciples of the Corpse Sect. Thus, I couldn't rule out the possibility that the two clans in the arena were the remnants of the Corpse Sect.
I turned to Wang Can and asked, "Do you know the details of these two clans?"
Wang Can didn't know why I asked this question, but he still pondered for a moment before answering, "Changshan Grotto-Heaven is another name for Gubei Yue and Heng Mountain. In the Five Mountain Grotto-Heavens, Changshan is ranked first.
As for Lv Liang's Blessed Land, there's nothing special about it. The only thing unusual about it is that, like Changshan Grotto-Heaven, they both practice the Corpse Controlling Technique … Oh, right, these two clans are very close to each other.
Changshan is one of the main peaks of Taihang Mountain. Lv Liang and Taihang Mountain are both in the west and the east of Shanxi.
Because of their geographical location and cultivation techniques, the two clans are hostile to each other. Now that they have met, no matter how strong they are, I'm afraid they won't let this matter go. "
Changshan is one of the main peaks of Taihang Mountain … Hearing this, my eyes couldn't help but flash.
When I sneaked into the Corpse Sect, I entered the mountain through the Niangzi Pass at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain and went all the way to the gate of the Corpse Sect.
Changshan was also in the Taihang Mountain Range, and it practiced the Corpse Raising Technique … This was interesting.
Since the Corpse Sect occupied the Taihang Mountain Range, I didn't believe that they would allow another force to occupy their territory. Conversely, it was the same for Changshan Grotto-Heaven.
It was very likely that Changshan Grotto-Heaven was the remnant of the Corpse Sect!
Or it could be said that the Corpse Sect was an outer force of the Eternal Mountain Grotto-Heaven. When Tai Sui went berserk, he only destroyed the Corpse Sect and didn't uproot the Eternal Mountain Grotto-Heaven.
With the scale of the Corpse Sect, it's normal for there to be remnant forces left behind. I just didn't expect to run into them so soon.
Of course, all of this is just my conjecture. Whether it's true or not still needs to be verified.
Apart from that, I couldn't understand Lin Xue's actions. If the truth was as I guessed, with Lin Xue's identity, she should have joined the Everlasting Mountain Cave. She shouldn't have joined the opposing Lu Liang Blessed Land.
Either my conjecture is wrong, or there's something I can't see through.
As I continued to speculate, on the stage, the two sides had already started fighting.
Their methods were different from the others. As soon as the two forces attacked, they didn't join in. Instead, they controlled their Corpse Puppets to kill each other. Although the battle was intense, it was less dangerous.
Back when I was in the Corpse Sect, I had also participated in some battles.
Generally speaking, the disciples of the Corpse Sect would control their Corpse Puppets to fight. However, when it came to a life and death situation, they would have to join the battle themselves. Only then would they be able to display their full strength.
However, the two forces on the stage had been fighting for a long time, but they didn't have the slightest intention of joining the battle themselves.
It wasn't until the Glorious Knowledge realm Earth Master from the Eternal Mountain Grotto-Heaven cupped his fist and admitted defeat that I realized that the two forces didn't seem to have any enmity with each other. It was clear that they had already colluded with each other.
Officer Wang also noticed this and sighed with a strange expression. "This shouldn't be the case. How could it be like this …"
The battle on the stage was still going on. Lin Xue's Purple Chen Corpse was very intelligent. It seemed to know the meaning of this battle. It didn't look like it was going to risk its life at all. It just used its speed to constantly move around and adjust its breathing.
After it had used up most of its energy, it suddenly changed its rhythm. A purple light gathered on its right fist and it knocked down the Heaven Master Realm Refined Corpse with a single punch.
They were both at the Heaven Master Realm, so no matter how powerful the Purple Chen Corpse was, it couldn't easily take its opponent's life with a single punch.
However, the moment the Refined Corpse fell to the ground, the Heaven Master Seal quickly controlled the Refined Corpse to not let it get up. He quickly cupped his fist and admitted defeat.
The results of the two battles were out. The Eternal Mountain Grotto-Heaven was eliminated and Lu Liang Blessed Land advanced.
The two Heaven Master Yang God Celestial Masters, who were still fighting, saw the results and immediately stopped. They didn't even greet each other before hurriedly leaving the stage.
This was a very big upset, but compared to the result, what was more surprising was the attitude of both sides.
This was the Allheaven Competition that involved the redistribution of cultivation resources!
Even the ten grotto-heavens had to treat this seriously. No one could have imagined that the Eternal Mountain Grotto-Heaven and Lu Liang Blessed Land would treat it this way.
Of course, even so, no one would accuse them of being shady. Everyone could see that there was an exchange of benefits between the two sides.
Thus, the spectators all had an indifferent attitude. However, a small portion of them were quite excited. They lowered their heads and calculated the probability of them encountering Lu Liang Blessed Land in the next round.
Only I was still frowning in confusion. I couldn't understand the situation in front of me.
Could it be that my previous guess was wrong? That the Eternal Mountain Grotto-Heaven and Lu Liang Blessed Land were both remnants of the Corpse Sect?
However, this still couldn't explain the situation in front of me.
An exchange of benefits … Both sides definitely had an exchange of benefits. What kind of benefits did Lu Liang Blessed Land offer to make their arch-enemy, the Eternal Mountain Grotto-Heaven, be willing to exchange their spot in the Allheaven Competition?
Thinking about this, a light suddenly flashed in my mind.
If my guess was correct, the Eternal Mountain Grotto-Heaven really was a remnant of the Corpse Sect. Then, what was the most important thing to the remnant of the Corpse Sect?
It definitely couldn't be the true dragon vein.
Although the Yin energy that the people of the Corpse Sect cultivated belonged to the category of Dao energy, it was infinitely closer to shaman energy. Thus, the true dragon vein was useless to them. They also couldn't have the formation that could transform the true dragon vein into shaman energy like the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven.
If the true dragon vein was useless, then what was useful?
The scene of the first time I saw the corpse of the Tai Sui in the Corpse Sect appeared in my mind … The Yin energy that the Corpse Sect relied on to cultivate was all provided by the corpse of the Tai Sui!
After the Corpse Sect was destroyed, the corpse of the Tai Sui was also destroyed. The conclusion was obvious. At this moment, what the remnant of the Corpse Sect needed the most was the corpse of the Tai Sui, or the Yin energy it emitted!
Only this kind of thing that was related to the foundation of cultivation was worth using the ranking of the Heavenly Abode and the cultivation resources like the true dragon vein to exchange for it!
If that was the case, there must be the corpse of the Tai Sui in Lu Liang Blessed Land!
Even if there wasn't, it should be something that could provide Yin energy.
I couldn't help but feel moved.
The witchcraft energy in this world was thin. Although the formation in the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven could provide endless witchcraft energy, I couldn't stay in the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven for a long time, and the witchcraft energy here couldn't be taken away. According to my original plan, I planned to find time to go to the Heavenly Dragon Temple in Thailand to find the trace of the Tai Sui there.
Of course, the Tai Sui's corpse was huge, so even if I found it, I couldn't carry it with me.
However, I still had the jade bracelet that Lao Ai had given me.
The jade bracelet contained the true dragon vein that I had absorbed in the Metaphysics Society. However, that true dragon vein was dying, and I had taken away the saliva of the true dragon. Moreover, when Xiao Jin was cultivating, he sucked it every day, so there wasn't much left. After Xiao Jin left, I hadn't used it for a year.
At this time, the jade bracelet still had a lot of space. If I could find the corpse of the Tai Sui, it would be the best place to temporarily store witchcraft energy.
In the past, I might have wondered if the jade bracelet could absorb witchcraft energy. But now, I understood that Dao energy was witchcraft energy, and the true dragon vein was the corpse of the Tai Sui.
Since the jade bracelet could absorb the true dragon vein, it could also absorb the Tai Sui's witchcraft energy.
The journey to Thailand was long, and I had heard everything from the black-clothed Ah Zan. I wasn't sure what the truth was.
Lu Liang Blessed Land was different. Lu Liang Mountain was only a hundred miles away from the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven. As a family in a blessed land, although they had the Yang God Celestial Master, their strength was limited. They couldn't pose a threat to me.
If that was the case, I could use them …
