470: Go to Yinshi Sect, the ancestor invites you

Qingzhou, Jiuli, Mountain of Severed Sky.

Buzz!

The Void Realm shattered.

Chu Jiang stepped out from the ruins recorded in Old Freak Jiyin's diary.

He shook his head slightly.

These ruins were basically dilapidated. Any danger they posed was only to those below the Qiankun Seventh Realm; for those above the Qiankun Seventh Realm, it was generally safe with a bit of caution.

For him, with his current Rongtian combat power, there was no challenge whatsoever.

After all.

Back then, Old Freak Jiyin was only at the Qiankun Sixth Realm. What he considered dangerous might not necessarily be a Forbidden Ground.

“It wasn’t without Harvest!”

Chu Jiang said with a faint smile.

From the ruins, he obtained several thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, killed dozens of wandering demons, gained two hundred thousand Lifespan, one High Grade Magic Treasure, the Heaven Poison Blade, and four or five Low Grade Magic Treasures.

The Heaven Poison Blade was given to Fu Yunxuan.

The Demon Slayer Blade was given to Snow Phoenix.

After annihilating numerous forces in the Three Prefectures, Chu Jiang had over a hundred Magic Treasures on him. Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu each had three Magic Treasures as standard equipment, and the ten personal guards each had two. Unless it was a High Grade Magic Treasure that could catch his eye, Low Grade Magic Treasures held little value for him.

There were still seven days left until the ten-day agreement.

After the battle in Bing Province, all the demons disappeared; not a single one could be seen for half a day.

To obtain a large amount of Lifespan again in the short term, unless these demons actively jumped out, like the wolf demons in Bing Province.

Otherwise, he could only look to the fifteenth of next month, at the Thunderfire Abyss, one of the Ten Forbidden Grounds.

As the place where a Reaching Heaven Realm mighty expert passed away, there must be demons inside.

Chu Jiang calculated the time and decided to first go to the Nine States of the Southern Domain, the territory of the Yin Corpse Sect, to get a few Heavenly Corpse Reincarnation Lotuses, and then refine several Rongtian Level Puppets.

Time flowed, days and nights rotated.

Chu Jiang rushed along, tearing through the Void Realm, day and night without rest. The environment changed at a visible speed, from hot to cold and damp.

The closer he got to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains border, the colder and wetter the climate became.

Mist, miasma, swamps, full of hidden dangers, making the path ahead completely invisible.

The air even emitted a faint white mist that could suppress the range of Divine Sense exploration.

Chu Jiang's figure passed through the last layer of mist, and the rugged mountain body suddenly split open, like a great rift valley.

On a broken stone tablet, three characters were carved: White Bone Gorge.

The White Bone Gorge, stretching for hundreds of miles, was like a giant beast prostrate on the earth. Both sides of the cliffs were densely packed with bronze hanging coffins, and chains hung with a large number of dried Cultivator remains. The eerie wind howled, clashing to produce faint bone sounds.

This was the burial ground for the Yin Corpse Sect’s Disciples over countless years; almost ninety-nine percent of them were buried in White Bone Gorge in this manner.

White Bone Gorge was the only way to enter the Yin Corpse Sect.

“Who goes there? The Yin Corpse Sect is currently closed and not receiving anyone!”

A deep, resonant voice rang out.

Two old men in black and white robes instantly appeared before Chu Jiang.

Their auras were all at the Qiankun Seventh Realm.

The two were the Xunshan Protectors of the Yin Corpse Sect, the Black and White Fiends, responsible for patrolling the Yin Corpse Sect during its closure.

“Demon Suppression Division, Chu Jiang. This is my token. I’ve come for the Heavenly Corpse Reincarnation Lotus!”

Chu Jiang briefly explained his purpose and handed the token given by Corpse Old Ancestor to the two.

Otherwise, if he wasted half a day here, not revealing his identity, not showing his token, they might give him some broken assessment, and then he would have to compete with the Yin Corpse Sect people for the Heavenly Corpse Reincarnation Lotus.

He didn't have that kind of free time.

“Chu Jiang?”

The two’s expressions changed slightly. Although the Corpse Yin Sect had not been active in the Jianghu recently, they had heard about most of the major events happening in Great Chu.

As the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, and having been conferred the title of Double Marquis by the Chu Emperor, his status was prominent, and his talent surpassed his peers.

No wonder there was a faint sense of pressure emanating from him. If it were anyone else trespassing into the Yin Corpse Sect, they might have already become a corpse.

“So it’s Lord Shao Si!”

The two offered simple compliments. Regardless, the Demon Suppression Division was still nominally in charge of the Jianghu, so the necessary Face had to be given.

But to come to their Sect and demand the Heavenly Corpse Reincarnation Lotus seemed a bit excessive.

The entire Yin Corpse Sect had no more than ten stalks, all in the Old Ancestor’s hands.

Wait a minute.

“This is… the Old Ancestor’s Blood Token!”

White Fiend carefully examined the skull token, his expression surprised.

They had only seen this token in ancient texts.

“Lord Shao Si, please wait. I will go ask for instructions immediately!”

Black Fiend said in a deep voice.

With a token of this level, it was beyond their ability to handle.

After a quarter of an hour.

A black light streaked across the sky.

“The Old Ancestor requests your presence!”

Chu Jiang nodded slightly.

Under Black Fiend’s guidance, Chu Jiang crossed the White Bone Gorge and entered the Yin Corpse Sect. Unlike other bustling Sects, the entire Yin Corpse Sect was quiet and deserted, with hardly any people visible.

Moreover, almost everyone carried a coffin on their back.

There were bronze coffins, purple-gold coffins, and even stone coffins, and bone coffins cast from demon remains.

“Every Disciple of the Yin Corpse Sect, as long as they advance to the Golden Core Stage, will bind a life-bound Corpse Puppet and cultivate it. As the Corpse Puppet grows stronger, it will also provide feedback to its master, helping their cultivation advance. Each person’s life-bound Corpse Puppet has different abilities.”

“There are disaster-blocking Corpse Puppets, meat-shield Corpse Puppets, and even the legendary life-substituting Corpse Puppets, which can die in your place once. The cost is the death of the life-bound Corpse Puppet, while the main body’s cultivation remains undiminished.”

Black Fiend slowly explained, his Face full of confidence. This was also the fundamental reason why his Yin Corpse Sect could become one of the Ten Demonic Sects; one person was equivalent to two others.

“There are even life-substituting Corpse Puppets?”

Chu Jiang’s eyebrows slightly raised. This Yin Corpse Sect truly lived up to its reputation as half a Puppet Sect, with profound heritage.

As the two spoke, they arrived at the Yin Corpse Sect Old Ancestor’s secluded cultivation place, a Spirit Medicine garden.

“How are you, Corpse Old Ancestor? Still doing well!”

A red-robed old man, showing no signs of cultivation, was watering flowers. He looked at Chu Jiang with a smile, his eyes sparkling, and said.
