Chapter 1306: Chapter 719: The Origin of the Corpse Cultivator Chapter 1306: Chapter 719: The Origin of the Corpse Cultivator Compared to other cultivators, corpse cultivators must bury themselves in places of good feng shui, making it difficult for them to move.
For this reason, in the various branches of the Demon Path, corpse cultivators are most susceptible to targeted attacks and unintentional harm, as Earth Masters often locate spirit acupoints right into the lairs of corpse cultivators.
For instance, when Chen Mobai was transplanting the Green Charm Spiritual Tree, he found it at Dragon Horn Trench. And then there was Yan Jinye, who had just achieved Foundation Establishment and unearthed treasures at Lonely Spirit Ridge.
The Five Elements Sect had numerous members, and Chun Yusu was an exceptional Earth Master and Array Master, who quickly located the lair of a corpse cultivator.
After receiving the news, Chen Mobai did not go to open it himself.
After all, this trip was led by Ye Qing, the Saint Land Taoist Child. After surveying the ground from midair, he had two members from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect summoned over.
The lair of a corpse cultivator could only be underground.
The three Golden Core Cultivators did not waste any time and barged right in.
Innately capable of Earth Escape, the three forcefully burrowed into the earth, revealing their respective cultivation levels.
Yuan Zhen turned out to be at the Core Formation Late Stage, no wonder she could become a candidate for Saintess, following Ye Qing.
When the three rushed underground, they discovered a Rank-3 Yin Sha Spiritual Cave, no wonder that corpse cultivator managed to transform into a Golden Armored Zombie.
Accompanied by a loud boom, the three had completely broken through from above to below, entering an underground cavern.
In the middle of the cavern was an open Jade Coffin, in front of which was a softly glowing Soul Summoning Lamp. Around the Jade Coffin, a patch of dark jade-colored bamboo was planted, surrounded by various spirit grasses emitting a fluorescent light, illuminating the surrounding walls where various murals depicting the life of the corpse cultivator were seen.
“Sect Master Chen, we need to destroy this Soul Lantern.”
Yuan Zhen said this. Those who use this kind of magic artifact are essentially from the Demon Path, the primary target suppressed by the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.
“You both make the decision,” Chen Mobai said, nodding lightly. This trip he had received a million Spirit Stones from Ye Qing as his employment, and it was only right that any loot found along the way belonged to Ye Qing.
Nevertheless, watching Yuan Zhen take out a Spirit Talisman and stick it onto the Soul Summoning Lamp, subsequently triggering it to burn the artifact down to jade juice, felt somewhat wasteful.
This Rank-3 Soul Summoning Lamp could fetch a sky-high price if sold on the black market.
At this time, Ye Qing had already approached the Jade Coffin and extracted two volumes of Silk Book from inside, spread them out to study what must surely be the corpse cultivation technique.
Chen Mobai, in order to demonstrate his resolute opposition to the Demon Path, did not gather closer but walked towards the dark jade-like bamboo.
He had once fervently studied such knowledge to find spirit materials suited for Immortal Gates in the Tianhe Realm and quickly recognized it as Yin Void Bamboo, a mutation of Pure Bamboo grown in Yin Sha Land.
Since it absorbs yin element earth qi during growth, it is highly useful for those practicing Yin Attribute Skills, and cultivators of water or earth techniques could also use it.
Inexplicably, Chen Mobai thought of Xiao Hei from Immortal Gate, who had a Pure Yin Body.
He wondered how her studies were going in the Sea Territory.
Chen Mobai further inspected and found that seven of the Yin Void Bamboo were of Rank-3 quality, while the rest were Rank-2, making them also excellent materials for refining magic artifacts.
Luo Yixuan’s Lifespan Artifact, the Fire Jade Heart Lotus, similar to Chen Mobai’s Morning Bell, could only protect the heart and mind and suppress the Purple Palace. Once she achieved Core Formation, she would need some powerful magic artifacts for Magic Duels in the environment of Tianhe Realm.
Chen Mobai thought it might be good to refine a set for her using this Yin Void Bamboo.
He then looked at the spirit grass near the roots of the bamboo. These were also rare, growing only in Yin Sha Land, known as Yin Lu Grass, with both Rank-2 and Rank-1 available, useful for refining elixirs to stabilize and nourish one’s foundation.
After completing the identification, Chen Mobai glanced at Ye Qing, who by then was examining the murals on the walls.
He walked over, ready to discuss with Ye Qing how to handle the items in this place.
“This corpse cultivator was an Elder of a sect in his lifetime and cultivated up to the Golden Core Realm. Just before his natural life was about to end, he arranged this place to bury himself and resurrect through the method of corpse cultivation.”
Ye Qing, seeing Chen Mobai approach, pointed to the content on the murals and explained. Hearing this, Chen Mobai’s expression subtly shifted.
“According to the style of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, we need to inquire about this corpse cultivator’s former sect one more time to ensure no Demonic Cultivation Technique was left there before we can let this matter rest.”
Chen Mobai had yet to speak when Ye Qing seemed to predict his thoughts and asked meaningfully,
“This person buried themselves near the Ruins close to the Eastern Wilderness. Since you, Sect Master Chen, are the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, could you provide any clues?”
Chen Mobai observed the murals calmly and then quietly shook his head.
“In my life, I’ve never left the Eastern Wilderness, and my cultivation years are short, but I can ensure that within the last several centuries, there is no such cultivator among the Eastern Wilderness’s Golden Core Cultivators.”
The Eastern Wilderness was considered the most remote countryside of the Eastern Region, and the Golden Core Cultivators of the last several centuries could be counted on one’s fingers.
None matched the content in the murals.
A thought briefly crossed his mind, wondering if this blame could be shifted onto Back to Sky Valley or Snow-blowing Palace.
But Chen Mobai, being forthright, merely thought about it and did not take any action.
