Chapter 69: Chapter 69 - 68: Awakening the Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques
[Settlement today!]
[Chant Corpse Nourishing Spell for three hours, Corpse Nourishing Spell Experience +30.]
[Spent ten hours in the Corpse Remains Death Land, constantly absorbing corpse qi and death qi, panel experience +1, corpse qi +20, death qi +20]
[Devoured five Yin Souls at Qi Cultivation Second Layer, one pound of Corpse Blood, and supplemented with Corpse Nourishing Spell, cultivator’s fresh blood in the Corpse Remains Death Land, Low Grade Corpse Nourishing Pearl nourishes corpse for twelve hours, plus Corpse Nurturing Coffin, Three Evils Corpse Nurturing for six hours, panel experience +1, gain Corpse Nurturing Experience +100, +50, +3, +6, +12, Corpse Nurturer Experience +2, Blood Transformation Body Experience +24, +20.]
[Tier One Lower Grade Soul-Seizing Talisman created thirty pieces, panel experience +1, Soul-Seizing Talisman proficiency experience +30.]
[Gu Cultivation with body for twelve hours, panel experience +1, Gu Insect experience +24.]
Next moment.
The personal information panel pops up, and the Black Corpse experience officially reaches full capacity, the upgrade panel suddenly changes dramatically.
[Three Evil Corpses—Corpse Nourishing Middle (Lower Realm 0/3000) The Three Evil Corpses are Postnatal Evil Corpses, extremely formidable, fearing nothing, restrained by nothing, capable of awakening Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques on their own.]
Right after.
A pop-up appears.
[Transforming...]
[Awakening...]
At this instant when the pop-up emerged, Wen Jiu felt the Black Corpse inside the Corpse Nurturing Coffin.
No.
It should be said the Three Evil Corpses.
At this moment, the corpse qi within the Three Evil Corpses exploded suddenly, reaching an unprecedented height, even the Tier One Middle Grade Corpse Nurturing Coffin felt unable to contain it, as if it could burst out at any moment.
"Underestimated the commotion when transforming into Three Evil Corpses." Wen Jiu originally thought using the Corpse Nurturing Coffin would suffice.
But it seems not.
Upon realizing this, Wen Jiu immediately used a Divine Movement Talisman, headed straight away from Feixian Peak, continuously moving farther.
All the way, the corpse qi inside the Corpse Nurturing Coffin grew increasingly intense, and just as Wen Jiu sprinted twenty miles away, it suddenly erupted.
The dense corpse qi instantly swept an area of hundred feet surrounding it, its sinister aura causing livestock within several miles to feel uneasy, starting to flee hastily, and those unable to escape began to howl madly.
Soon after, the Three Evil Corpses, under Wen Jiu’s watch, unexpectedly moved freely with its arms and legs.
The whole body writhed continuously, emitting a crackling sound, akin to an ominous entity asleep beneath the earth for centuries.
Next moment.
The Three Evil Corpses leapt up, kicking up dense corpse qi, launching Wen Jiu instantly hundreds of feet away.
During its corpse qi-powered flight, Wen Jiu could sense the Three Evil Corpses were still transforming.
No.
It should be said awakening.
The color on its body was changing, black skin began to be covered with lines condensed from Evil Qi, indistinct yet terrifying. As these lines covered its entire body, the Three Evil Corpses’ eyes changed dramatically, spewing terrifying Evil Qi and corpse qi.
At close range, Wen Jiu felt his heart race, the pressure from those corpse eyes surpassing even Gong Chi.
Almost comparable to Ji Qiubai during the great battle!
"Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques?"
Such a thought jumped into Wen Jiu’s mind, otherwise he couldn’t fathom anything causing such intense pressure.
After realizing this thought, the previously erupted Evil Qi and corpse qi were suddenly swallowed back by the corpse eyes of the Three Evil Corpses.
Simultaneously.
All surrounding corpse qi and Evil Qi were devoured by those corpse eyes, including the souls of demon beasts frantically escaping in the forest below.
As Wen Jiu glanced downward, the skills panel of the Three Evil Corpses popped up.
[Three Evil Corpses Skills: Blood Transformation Body Third Layer (1520/2000) Ghost Skill: Three Rivers Ghost Concealment First Layer (0/500), Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques: Avoidance Technique of Soul Capture, First Layer (0/1000)]
[Avoidance Technique of Soul Capture]
[Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques, once awakened, can possess Avoidance Corpse Body; Five Elements Techniques, Yin Technique or special techniques that restrain Corpse Technique, when attacking it, weaken by three percent; also awakens the Soul Capturing Eye, consuming ten percent corpse qi, covering hundred feet radius to capture human souls, feeding on souls, also able to probe deep into others’ soul memories, acquiring useful things for the Corpse Nurturer.]
"Avoidance... Soul Capture..."
Wen Jiu was secretly stunned.
Truly worthy of Divine Techniques.
Allowing the Three Evil Corpses in the Middle Realm to tear apart Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer cultivators.
Just this Avoidance Corpse Body means any attack from Five Elements Techniques, Yin Technique, or special techniques against the Three Evil Corpses gets weakened by thirty percent.
That’s akin to outfitting everyone with a weakening buff, reducing their strength by thirty percent.
Moreover, the panel information didn’t mention diminishing effects.
In other words.
No matter how strong you are.
You are weakened by thirty percent.
To this, Wen Jiu could only say two words.
Domineering!
Truly worthy of Divine Techniques!
Of course.
If the enemy is too strong, this weakening doesn’t really matter; he’ll still be knocked out in an instant.
But for a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer practitioner.
A thirty percent reduction.
That’s quite significant.
Now, let’s talk about the Soul Capturing Eye.
It consumes ten percent Corpse Qi, covering a hundred zhang around, directly capturing souls from thin air, which is much more domineering than the Soul-Seizing Talisman. Its effect is similar to the Soul-Searching Technique, but the Soul-Searching Technique can only search one person’s soul at a time.
The capturing range isn’t particularly astonishing for Wen Jiu; the most unbelievable part is the ability to read memories.
This means that as long as I want, I can capture your soul and gain all your lifelong knowledge.
"This..."
The more Wen Jiu thought, the more he was shocked.
This is far more powerful than the Soul Capturing Technique.
"I just don’t know the current limit of the Soul Capturing Eye."
"Whether it can shake the soul of a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer cultivator!"
Honestly.
He really wants to kill Gong Chi.
The kind that keeps him up at night.
But even if he wants to, he wouldn’t try immediately, because the Blood Transformation Body hasn’t yet reached the Fourth Layer.
With the Blood Transformation Body Fourth Layer, along with the Avoidance Technique of Soul Capture, and his Soul-Devouring Yin Insect, only then would the triple attack be secure.
And he still needs to find an opportunity.
"Just endure for a few more days."
Wen Jiu calmed his thoughts, let the Three Evil Corpses restrain their aura, and then returned home using the Blood Corpse Escape around Feixian Peak.
After staying at home for a while and confirming that there were no unusual movements outside, Wen Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
...
The next morning.
The news of Wen Jiu apprenticing to Gong Chi spread.
Overnight, it became known all over Feixian Peak.
Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised by this; it would be strange if there was no one pushing it behind the scenes.
After learning about this, Chen Daoqing immediately rushed over to ask Wen Jiu what happened, "Fellow Daoist Wen, you’re confused."
With the assessment coming soon.
Wen Jiu actually apprenticed to Elder Gong.
This is cutting off his upward path, isn’t it?
With a dismissive smile, Wen Jiu seemed unconcerned, "Fellow Daoist Chen, to be taken as a personal disciple by Elder Gong is my fortune. Actually, practitioners like me, heterodox cultivators, wouldn’t necessarily be well-received even at the main peak."
"Confused! Confused!"
Chen Daoqing looked like someone who hated iron for not becoming steel.
Although Wen Jiu didn’t know why Chen Daoqing was so agitated, he maintained his smile, revealing nothing to Chen Daoqing.
Whether Chen Daoqing was speaking the truth or had secret motives, Wen Jiu chose to feign happiness.
The assessment was already destined to be delayed.
So he still has a chance, still has time.
Now he just needs to wait for the opportunity, for the Blood Robe Tower to come to Feixian Peak.
Still the same statement.
He doesn’t believe Blood Robe Tower would make such a big move in Blood Demon Abyss just to disgust Deadman Peak.
After Chen Daoqing left, Wen Jiu headed straight to the Corpse Remains Death Land, both to stay away from Feixian Peak and distance himself from Gong Chi.
That same night.
While Wen Jiu was lazily drawing talismans in Corpse Remains Death Land, the Three Evil Corpses beside him suddenly looked at the other end of the darkness in the Corpse Remains Death Land.
When Wen Jiu swept his Divine Sense over, he sensed nothing, but the Three Evil Corpses still stared intently.
From the emotions of Spirit Communication within the Three Evil Corpses, Wen Jiu received a message: someone was searching for something in Corpse Remains Death Land.
Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer!
"They’re here!"
"Finally!"
Although he didn’t know why those people were certain about the presence of Three Thousand Blood Inks corpses in Corpse Remains Death Land or Feixian Peak.
But Wen Jiu knew his opportunity had come.
[Evening will have a third update.
Ten thousand words today!
That’s right.
You guessed it.
I really have no saved Chapters, writing purely in real-time.]
