309: Undercurrents

Unconsciously, Qing Changsheng called out the original name of the 'Way of Reaching Heaven'.

This thing's original name was 'Way of Retribution'.

As the first person to Cultivate it, everyone who Cultivated the Way of Retribution after him would return their power to him.

Moreover, until they reached the same Realm as him, they would be completely under his control.

Even if their Realm surpassed his, Qing Changsheng could, whenever he wished, transform the power of everyone who had Cultivated the Way of Retribution into his own.

This was a very pure and selfish Evil Path.

Even more sinister than that kid Chen Heng.

"No, there are still too few people now. If I harvest now, no one will spread it for me..."

Qing Changsheng was extremely conflicted now. He wanted to quickly increase his strength, but he also wanted to spread the Way of Retribution to more people.

"Hmm..."

"Let's wait a bit. That monster might not come looking for me in the next few days."

"Once I fully comprehend the Way of Retribution, heaven and earth will return to me!"

"I will be the only Dominator in this world..."

...Jade Fan Kingdom, former capital.

The once prosperous capital had now become a ruin. Apart from Chang Yutian and Xie Run, not a single living creature remained in the entire Jade Fan Kingdom.

Including plants, all living beings were used by Chang Yutian as Materials for sacrifice.

The current Jade Fan Kingdom was even more like a ghost Realm than a ghost Realm.

A proper ghost Realm where evil ghosts lived could at least see ghosts, but this place couldn't even see a single ghost now.

In the imperial palace, a giant, eggshell-like object hung from the ceiling.

Through the translucent eggshell, one could even see a pulsating figure.

"Grand Tutor, only I am left alive in the Jade Fan Kingdom now."

Xie Run knelt beside the eggshell, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

"It's time for the final step of the transformation."

The eggshell trembled, seemingly agreeing with Xie Run's words.

"I understand. I will give everything for you." Xie Run gritted his teeth, took out a bone-sharp sword, and plunged it into his chest.

The bone-sharp sword instantly disintegrated after piercing his body, transforming into countless thin, sharp branches that penetrated Xie Run's body.

Xie Run's entire body became a tree of bone and flesh, blood flowing down the branches onto the ground, then absorbed by the eggshell.

"Grand Tutor, this is the last thing I can do for you..."

The light in Xie Run's eyes slowly dimmed, and his life was completely absorbed by Chang Yutian in the eggshell at this moment.

With Xie Run's complete death, the eggshell also grew a size larger.

Chang Yutian inside seemed to have become much more active.

Through the eggshell, it seemed there was more than just Chang Yutian inside.

On the same body, there were actually four distinctly different faces... "Don't worry, once this Venerable One becomes a God, I will bring all of you into my God Realm."

Chang Yutian's face opened its eyes, and in his pupils, besides greed, there was only madness... Great Liang, Divine Capital, a deserted area in the northwest.

Shang Yu's face was pale, with more than ten hollow tubes inserted behind him, continuously supplying him with Qi and blood.

The source of these pipelines was the 'Dragon Vein' behind Helian Jinming.

The first time Shang Yu saw the Dragon Vein, he was almost scared to death.

That was not a Dragon Vein at all, but a giant living corpse ball.

He even saw his Shang Family ancestors within it!

One twisted and entangled corpse after another formed this so-called Great Liang 'Dragon Vein'.

"My dear official Shang, you must work hard. I am your strongest backing."

Helian Jinming chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Yes, I understand."

Forcibly taking a breath, Shang Yu once again controlled the Mountain Mover Ghost, which was only the size of a palm, in front of him.

Shang Yu used all his might to search for the location of the Hundred Corpse Tomb.

But even though he had probed nearly a hundred zhang underground, he still hadn't found any trace of the Hundred Corpse Tomb.

"Is the Hundred Corpse Tomb really here?"

Shang Yu couldn't help but doubt in his heart.

But he had to continue probing downwards; once he stopped, the tubes behind him would send a bone-deep pain.

After another two hours, Shang Yu's eyes lit up.

Helian Jinming naturally saw the change in Shang Yu's expression and immediately got up and walked over.

"My dear official Shang, have you found the Hundred Corpse Tomb?"

Helian Jinming patted Shang Yu's shoulder and stood beside him.

"I found it..." Shang Yu's expression became strange.

"But... the Mountain Mover Ghost can't move it...?"

As Shang Yu continued to probe, his face grew stranger and stranger.

Helian Jinming naturally also saw that Shang Yu was a bit off and frowned.

"My dear official Shang, what's wrong?"

"Since you've found the Hundred Corpse Tomb, why don't you move it out?"

"Your Majesty, the Mountain Mover Ghost... can't move the Hundred Corpse Tomb."

Shang Yu was sweating, but he had to tell Helian Jinming about this, otherwise, he would be the one in trouble.

"Can't move it out?" Helian Jinming's brows furrowed deeper, clearly already very displeased.

"This... the Hundred Corpse Tomb seems to have no end. I have already delved nearly a thousand zhang deep underground."

"..." Helian Jinming didn't respond, but frowned and pondered for a moment.

"Since the Hundred Corpse Tomb cannot be moved out, then move away the earth covering it."

Helian Jinming seemed to know something and didn't make things too difficult for Shang Yu.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing Helian Jinming's words, Shang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Helian Jinming had insisted on him moving out the Hundred Corpse Tomb, he would probably have met his end there today.

"The legend is indeed true. The records left by the Old Ancestor are quite accurate..."

After Helian Jinming left, the displeasure on his face immediately turned into a smile.

He actually never expected Shang Yu to move out the Hundred Corpse Tomb; he just wanted to use Shang Yu to verify some things he knew.

"Will you come?" Helian Jinming looked up in the direction of Qiyang City.

"No, you will definitely come. I will find a way to force you to come."

...Time flew by, and five days passed in a flash.

Through the True Immortal Token, the True Immortal Sect disciples scattered in various places all came to Wuji Peak.

The original True Immortal Sect was a large School with four or five hundred people, but now only eighty-six remained.

This included Bai Jun and Qiu Yongling, as well as Liu Qi and a few others who were recovering in Qiyang City.

"Only these people are left..." Elder Yang was a little lost, but quickly adjusted his mindset.

Except for the few Elders who participated in the battle of Wuji Peak and Qiu Yongling, all the remaining Elders perished without exception.

But fortunately, the True Immortal Sect still had eighty-six people left; at least the root had not been severed.

"Yongling, is the Sect Leader's life jade in your hand? How is he doing now?"

Elder You, after five days of recovery, was basically cured, but still a bit weak.

"The Sect Leader's life jade?" Qiu Yongling was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at Elder Yang.

"..." Hearing them talk about this, Elder Yang's face immediately darkened.

"Alas..."

"Take a look."
