The Corpse Sect was a very large sect. As far as Ye Zizai knew, the highest level was in a rank 5 cultivation country. Below the rank 5 cultivation country, there were many branches of the Corpse Sect in a trapezoid shape.
These branches all had a strict system that forced their disciples to cultivate crazily. It was like raising livestock in a pen. This was the first thought that came to Ye Zi Zai's mind after he found out the whole story.
Once an animal reached the Core Formation stage, it would undergo a grand sacrificial refinement of a corpse puppet. At this time, the divine sense from a fifth rank sect would quietly enter the corpse puppet's body under the cover of the sacrificial refinement.
To put it bluntly, Shiyin was the largest sect in a rank 5 cultivation country that provided bodies for people to possess. It has to be said that in rank 4 cultivation countries and above, there are many big battles every year, especially on foreign planets. Casualties are unavoidable, but once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, as long as you are careful, you can escape with your Nascent Soul.
As a result, Shiyin's usefulness was shown on a large scale. Countless cultivators, whether they had lost their bodies or were preparing to possess someone else's body, would do anything related to their body in Shiyin.
Most of the bodies provided by Shiyin were extraordinary. In addition, they had been cultivating Shiyin's cultivation method since they were young. It has to be said that Shiyin had many branches and almost every branch had a different cultivation method.
Most of the cultivators that dealt with the Corpse Sect were from rank 4 or 5 cultivation countries. In order to speed up the process of possession, they signed a series of agreements with the Corpse Sect. One of the agreements was that they would provide their own cultivation technique and have a branch of their sect to cultivate in. This branch of the sect would become their own meat farm.
The cultivation method of Zhao's Shiyin came from a demonic sect in a rank 5 cultivation country. It was called the Underworld Sect.
Ye Zizai let out a sigh. It wasn't that he didn't want to resist, but the more he knew, the more he felt how weak he was. Compared to this, he had no right to resist. Also, once the corpse puppet starts devouring, unless one's cultivation level is far higher than the corpse puppet's, there is no way to stop it.
Also, one of the rules of Shiyin was that if a Nascent Soul disciple's body was taken, they would be given a chance to possess someone else's body.
For example, after Ye Zizai was completely devoured by the corpse puppet, although his nascent soul would not be able to escape, his soul and divine sense would be extracted and sent to another branch of the Corpse Sect. It would be like someone else stealing his body, stealing someone else's body.
However, he only had one chance. If he couldn't break through the Nascent Soul stage and enter the Soul Formation stage, then he would be sent to the foreign battleground as cannon fodder.
Once he reaches the Soul Formation stage, he would become an elder of a rank 4 cultivation country and have 1,000 years. If he didn't reach the Soul Transformation stage by 1,000 years, then the result would be the same.
In response to Luo Sha's question, Ye Zizai coldly replied, "What does it have to do with you that Adai hasn't reached the Core Formation stage? He is my junior apprentice brother's disciple. As long as I am here, I will keep him safe."
As he spoke, a powerful aura appeared. He stared at the figure floating in the air and said, word for word, "I won't allow anyone to hurt him!
Anyone! "
Luo Sha let out a laugh. His eyes lit up and he said, "Ye Zizai, this Adai's body is not bad. It is very suitable for you to possess."
Ye Zizai let out a cold snort. He indeed had this thought. From the moment he saw Adai, he decided that this was the body Luo Sha had prepared for him.
The figure let out a smile that wasn't a smile and slowly said, "That kid named Wang Lin's cultivation method is very strange. It has a trace of my Underworld Sect's aura. No matter how he cultivates, he is the perfect cultivation furnace. Ye Zizai, you still haven't answered me. Why didn't you seal his soul?"
Ye Zizai closed his eyes and said, "Adai isn't my only choice. Including this Wang Lin, I have a few candidates. I haven't decided who will be the host and who will be the corpse puppet yet. Before they reach the Core Formation stage, I won't take their soul. Otherwise, once their soul is sealed in a jade, they will become Shiyin's disciple. If someone else were to steal it, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
He wasn't afraid to tell Luo Sha the truth. He was doing this to find a way out for himself. From another perspective, it could be said that he was agreeing to Luo Sha's plan to devour him.
With that, he opened his eyes and added, "The cleanup of the foreign battleground is about to begin. I calculate that the tokens will be sent out in a few days."
The figure licked his lips and let out a hoarse laugh. "After the messenger from the Cultivation Alliance opens the passage to the foreign battleground, I only need to take three breaths of the foreign battleground's spiritual energy to complete the devouring. Ye Zizai, according to my agreement with Shiyin, I'll keep your soul after I finish devouring. Once you have chosen someone, I'll give you a hand out of consideration for your body. I'll help you raise your soul to the Core Formation stage so it'll be easier for you to enter."
Ever since Ye Zizai found out about Shiyin's secret, he knew that this day would come sooner or later. The cleanup of the foreign battleground that happens once every 100 years is the day Shiyin finishes devouring a large amount of spiritual energy. Ye Zizai let out a sigh, closed his eyes, and no longer spoke.
As for Wang Lin and Mu Rong, they were quickly moving through one cave after another. Wang Lin could clearly feel that they were moving downward, and as they flew, strands of cold energy came from the ground.
After a long time, Mu Rong suddenly stopped in a cave. He turned around with envy and respectfully said, "Ancestor, this is the place the ancestor arranged for you to cultivate. This is one of the most suitable caves for me, Shiyin."
After exchanging pleasantries with Mu Rong, Wang Lin walked in. The cave wasn't big; it was only 1/5th the size of Mu Rong's cave. There was a thick layer of ice on the ground that gave off a blue light. It looked very strange.
The walls of the cave were densely packed with small holes, and traces of faint cold air were slowly being emitted from them.
Aside from this, the cave was empty. Wang Lin thought for a while, then squatted down and touched the ground. Suddenly, a cold energy flowed through his fingertips. However, the moment it entered his body, it immediately turned into white energy and disappeared.
Wang Lin's expression was indifferent. The cold energy in his body was much stronger than the cold energy on the ground.
Casually sitting down cross-legged, Wang Lin formed a seal with both hands. He followed the small spells recorded in the dark blue jade slip and formed a seal. His consciousness spread out and merged with the seal. Suddenly, the walls of the cave started to move strangely and slowly closed up. There wasn't a single gap left.
The entire cave had become a completely sealed space.
Wang Lin looked around and muttered to himself. He had no choice but to join the Shiyin Sect. Back in the ruins, if he hadn't entered the transportation formation, he would have been dragged into the matter between the corpse puppet and Wu Yu.
Now, it seemed that Wu Yu hadn't lied. This place was indeed suitable for cultivating the Yellow Springs Ascension Technique. However, in this place, Wang Lin always felt a sense of danger, especially when he was facing Ye Zi. Although Ye Zi's expression didn't look strange, Wang Lin felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
When Ye Zi noticed Dumby, this feeling immediately shifted from him to Dumby.
Even so, Wang Lin's vigilance didn't decrease. Instead, it increased. This Ye Zi definitely didn't have good intentions. Wang Lin didn't know what he was planning.
Wang Lin frowned and muttered to himself, "It's a pity that Situ is still asleep. Otherwise, with his experience and knowledge, he would definitely be able to analyze Ye Zi's thoughts. Right now, I can only find a chance to escape from this place. But since I'm here, I might as well use this place to cultivate."
Thinking about this, his eyes flashed. He formed a few hand seals with his right hand. Suddenly, the small holes in the cave emitted a rumbling sound and white gas came out from them. In the blink of an eye, the white gas filled the entire cave.
Wang Lin opened his mouth and sucked in the white gas. However, soon after, countless more white gas came out from the small holes.
Once the white gas entered Wang Lin's body, it was immediately absorbed by his spiritual energy and nourished him.
At this moment, Wang Lin's face revealed a strange expression. He formed a hand seal with both hands and shot out a beam of light. Once the beam of light appeared, it immediately condensed into a ball of light.
Wang Lin didn't even blink as he stared at the ball of light. The ball of light suddenly turned light blue and flickered.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he muttered to himself, "Ordinary rank 1 Earth Yin …"
At this moment, a boundless seven-colored cloud suddenly appeared above the entire country of Zhao. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it covered the entire sky.
The moment the cloud appeared, a heaven-like pressure descended from the sky. All of the cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage in Zhao, no matter where they were, what sect they were in, or what they were doing, their expressions all changed.
Under this powerful pressure, all of the Qi Condensation disciples were terrified and the spiritual energy in their bodies was about to leave their bodies.
The Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators immediately closed their eyes and began to meditate, adjusting the spiritual energy within their bodies. Only Nascent Soul cultivators were able to resist this pressure, but their expressions also greatly changed.
In a secret forbidden area in the back mountain of the Xuan Dao Sect, Punnan Zi suddenly opened his eyes. His expression changed many times, but soon, he revealed a look of ecstasy. Without a word, his body disappeared from the forbidden area. When he reappeared, he was already 50 kilometers away.
Within the country of Zhao, rays of light shot out from all over the country of Zhao. They moved like lightning toward the center of the country of Zhao, where the Heaven's Tower was located.
If the cultivators were like this, then there was no need to mention the mortals. Most of the mortals in Zhao were kneeling on the ground in worship. There was an ancient rumor that every 100 years, a seven-colored sky would descend from the sky, and on this day, it had arrived.
