Yan Dongyue saw that I didn't respond and waved his hand in front of my eyes. He frowned and asked, "Nantian, what's wrong with you?"
After his interruption, I came back to my senses and looked at him. I explained in a low voice, "It's nothing, Big Brother.
Let's return to the sect first. "
I knew that I wasn't Yan Nantian, so I subconsciously lowered my voice. However, when I opened my mouth, I discovered that not only did I look like Yan Nantian, but my voice was also similar to Yan Nantian's, just that it was a little more childish.
After hearing my words, Yan Dongyue didn't suspect anything. He just slightly nodded and turned around to walk in front of me.
The path that we were taking was the same path that I had taken to the Corpse Sect with Wei Sanpeng for the first time. As Yan Dongyue brought me along, he asked me if I had encountered any interesting things in the past few years.
After listening to him, I didn't dare to be careless. It wouldn't be good if I was careless and exposed myself.
Although I knew that I was in the fourth floor of the Spirit Lock Tower, everything around me felt very real. This matter seemed to be a task that I had to complete, so after thinking for a moment, I replied cautiously. I randomly made up some things but didn't go into detail.
Fortunately, I had some understanding of the Corpse Sect and Yan Dongyue had never left the sect before, so he didn't know anything about the outside world.
After listening to me, he started to grumble.
He said that master was biased and only allowed me to travel alone. He said that I was talented and that after traveling, my cultivation would greatly increase.
After saying that, Yan Dongyue was silent for a moment before turning around and asking me what my current cultivation was.
Since it happened so suddenly, I didn't have the time to check my body's condition. After hearing his question, I quickly closed my eyes and found that my Heavenly Seal Master cultivation had disappeared. There wasn't even a trace of shaman energy left. My current cultivation was only at the first acupoint sealing stage.
After answering truthfully, Yan Dongyue's body shook. His eyes were filled with surprise as he said, "You've actually sealed acupoints?
Doesn't that mean that you can go to the Black Zombie Cave to cultivate?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. No wonder master said that you're a genius.
You've already sealed acupoints at the age of 20. Your future is limitless, Nantian. "
After saying that, he patted my shoulder and turned around to continue walking.
However, I could see a tinge of disappointment in his eyes. Perhaps he felt the difference between us.
Based on my previous strength as a sealing heavenly master, just hitting my acupoints wouldn't cause any fluctuations in my heart.
However, thinking back to when he was at the Corpse Sect, he learned from Wei Sanpeng's memories that the Corpse Sect had very strict rules. Generally speaking, one had to reach Seeking Dragon by the age of 20, Reaching Acupoint by the age of 30, and Becoming Enlightened by the age of 40.
Otherwise, when the sect lacked a source of corpses, it was very likely that they would be turned into corpse puppets.
Looking at Yan Dongyue's realm, he seemed to be at the late stage of the Dragon Seeking Realm and was about to hit his acupoints.
He was only a few years older than Yan Nantian. It seemed like he was one of the best among the younger generation of the Corpse Sect. However, he was still a bit inferior to Yan Nantian.
On the way, Yan Dongyue didn't say anything. After we arrived at the Corpse Sect, he said to me, "Master told me to immediately go and see him after you return."
After saying that, he waved his hand at me and walked away.
Fortunately, I came to the Corpse Sect before and stayed here for a while. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to find this place.
According to Yan Dongyue's strength, he should be living in the White Zombie Cave.
The master that he mentioned should be one of the temple masters of the White Zombie Cave.
After I had an answer in my heart, I immediately went to the White Zombie Cave.
Along the way, I met a lot of Corpse Sect disciples. Perhaps they recognized me, but when they saw me, they only called me Senior Brother before hurriedly leaving.
The Corpse Sect had strict rules and regulations. These disciples were busy cultivating every day. It seemed that Yan Nantian had some status in the White Zombie Cave for them to stop and greet me.
At this moment, I was standing at the entrance of the White Zombie Cave and was somewhat worried. I had just passed by and didn't know what was going on inside.
Although I had interacted with Yan Nantian before and knew a few things about him, most of it was after he became a Heavenly Master.
However, I didn't know anything about the Heavenly Master.
Moreover, I only had the appearance of Yan Nantian and didn't have any memories of him.
It seemed that this mission would be difficult for me.
Just as I was worrying, a middle-aged man walked out of the cave.
From his appearance and clothes, he didn't seem to be a disciple of the White Zombie Cave. He seemed to be someone in charge.
When he saw me standing there, he slightly frowned and asked, "Nantian, I've been waiting for you inside for a long time. Why are you standing here in a daze?"
After hearing his words, I couldn't help but relax. I was just thinking about how to find Yan Nantian's master. I didn't think that he would come out by himself. This saved me a lot of trouble.
I didn't immediately reply and instead looked at him. I couldn't see through his cultivation, but since he was able to accept disciples in the White Zombie Cave, his strength should be at the peak of the Pressure Point Realm.
When he saw that I didn't reply, his expression sank and he angrily shouted, "What are you waiting for?
I'm asking you a question! "
After being yelled at by him, I finally reacted and hastily cupped my hands towards him. "Master, long time no see. Are you well?"
The middle-aged man smacked his lips and waved his hand. With an unhappy expression, he said, "Forget it. Follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the White Zombie Cave.
After seeing this, I didn't dare to slack off. I was afraid that I would give myself away, so I quickly followed him.
Although I had stayed in the Corpse Sect for a period of time, I had reached the Pressure Point Realm at that time. Most of my time was spent in the Black Zombie Cave, so it was my first time coming to the White Zombie Cave.
While walking, I used my peripheral vision to observe the surroundings. Aside from the fact that the White Zombie Cave wasn't as big as the Black Zombie Cave, there wasn't much of a difference.
I guessed that the caves of the Corpse Sect all looked the same.
Of course, the Yin energy provided to the disciples in the caves was completely different.
The disciples in the White Zombie Cave were all in the Dragon Seeking Realm, and some were not even in the Dragon Seeking Realm. The yin energy they used for cultivation was the lowest grade, the Yellow Grade yin energy. The Black Zombie Cave, Purple Zombie Cave, and Flying Zombie Cave used the Black Grade, Earth Grade, and Heaven Grade yin energy.
I followed the middle-aged man until we reached a room on the top floor of the White Zombie Cave.
The middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in. Soon after, he sat down on the main seat of the room.
It seemed that this was the middle-aged man's room.
After the middle-aged man sat down, he didn't say anything. It seemed that he was waiting for me to take action.
Seeing this, I hurriedly walked forward and bowed before saying, "Disciple Yan Nantian greets master."
Although I didn't take this middle-aged man seriously, I was currently in the Corpse Sect. Moreover, I only had the strength of a Pressure Point Realm expert.
I wasn't sure if their attacks would be effective here, so I had to be careful.
After seeing me like this, the middle-aged man responded after a long time. He gently nodded and said, "Stand up!"
I respectfully stood up and didn't hurry to speak.
The middle-aged man looked at me and waved his hand, indicating that I should sit down and talk.
After I sat down, he looked at me and said, "When I returned from my trip, I saw that you have reached the Pressure Point Realm. It seems that my White Zombie Cave can't keep you here.
That's fine. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Black Zombie Cave and find you another master. "
After hearing his words, I was a bit surprised at first, but I immediately understood. The Corpse Sect did have such a rule. As long as a disciple of the Corpse Sect reached a higher realm, they must immediately go to a cave of the same level to report. Not only that, but they must also find a new master to cultivate with.
It seemed that the relationship between the master and disciple of the Corpse Sect wasn't very close. I didn't need to think about how to face this cheap master.
Thus, I expressionlessly nodded. After bowing again, I nodded and said, "Yes, I'll listen to master's arrangements."
Having said this, he asked me some questions about my travels.
This cheap master didn't seem to be too familiar with the outside world, so he didn't become suspicious after answering a few questions.
After talking about my travels, he also talked about the internal affairs of the Corpse Sect. Naturally, he didn't ask me about these matters, so I didn't need to make up stories. I just silently listened and occasionally nodded.
After talking for about half an hour, this cheap master encouraged me a few more times, telling me to cultivate properly and not slack off. Only then did he finally let me go.
After leaving, I let out a sigh of relief. Although the conversation was easy, I was still vigilant and spent a lot of energy. Now that I was out, I could finally relax.
According to what this cheap master said, the person he was going to take me to tomorrow was the Black Zombie Cave's Cave Master.
He also said that the Cave Master had always been optimistic about Yan Nantian's talent, so he specifically told me that after Yan Nantian returned, if his acupoints were already sealed, I must take him as my master.
After saying this, the middle-aged man's eyes shined. It seemed that he worshipped the Black Zombie Cave's Cave Master.
With the strength of the Corpse Sect, his appearance was understandable. Moreover, a normal Cave Master's strength was far greater than a Temple Master's. It seemed that the Black Zombie Cave's Cave Master's strength was definitely not ordinary. He was at least at the late stage of the Glorious Era.
Not only that, I also learned from him that the annual competition would begin in a few days.
He also told me to hurry up and cultivate so that I could get a good ranking.
I knew about the Corpse Sect's annual competition because I had experienced it when I was disguised as Wang Lin, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.
Because I still didn't know anything about Yan Nantian, I couldn't find Yan Nantian's room by myself.
In the end, I decided to go ask around. I knew that this was a bit inappropriate, but without my cultivation to rely on, I had no other choice. I could only brace myself and find a senior disciple that passed by to greet me. I told him that I had been away for a long time and forgot where I lived. Only then did I find my cave under his strange gaze.
After closing the door to the cave, I was the only one left. Only then did I relax. I sat on the edge of the bed and began to ponder the situation.
I don't know what kind of magic the Spirit Lock Tower has to be able to turn me into Yan Nantian and bring me to the Corpse Sect. This kind of method is really unimaginable.
