Free Web NovelChapter 528: Chapter 269: Another Powerful Boon, Undying Demon Corpse
"Golden Core!"
"My Golden Core!"
Master Zhu watched in despair as his Golden Core was extracted, his body swaying as he uttered a cry of hopelessness. He wanted to rush forward to reclaim it, but was instead blown back by corpse qi. He stumbled a hundred feet before managing to steady himself, avoiding a fall.
Wen Jiu had no interest in delivering a fatal blow, merely adding, "If you like blocking the path, this is the price you’ll pay."
The moment his words fell.
The two corpses swiftly flew towards the East Spring Undying Bone. The Fake Pill Cultivators of the Spirit Suppressing Army tried to intercept them, but they vanished within moments of pursuit. When they turned back, they faced a crowd of enraged loose cultivators.
And the despairing Master Zhu.
"Bah, serves you right!"
"Being a loose cultivator is hard enough as it is; planning for decades, even centuries, for a slim chance at Core Formation, and yet she wants to deprive us! And even after accepting Spirit Stones, she curses us to sabotage our efforts!"
"With the Golden Core taken, she can only become a mortal... If she likes blocking the path, she deserves such a miserable end."
However, Master Zhu could not hear a single word. She desperately pursued the direction in which the two corpses vanished.
But staggering, she eventually fell to the ground. Still, she kept running desperately towards it, screaming in despair and pain.
"Golden Core!"
"Give me back my Golden Core!"
"Fellow cultivator, I was wrong, I was really wrong... Give me back my Golden Core, I can’t live without it, I cannot."
If she was no longer a Golden Core Zhenren, the Zhu Family would face an extinction-level disaster. If she wasn’t a Golden Core, the enemies she thwarted would surely make her life a living hell. Life without the Golden Core would be an endless abyss.
...
Moments later.
The two corpses arrived at the location where Qi Qiantian was, and Wen Jiu stopped absorbing the magical power from the talismans.
Since Qi Qiantian considered them his own, and the two corpses had successfully crossed the tribulation, requiring no more support from corpse qi, they might as well go along with it.
Qi Qiantian was overjoyed to witness this, but when he saw the Three Thousand Blood Inks and the Blood Demon Undying Bone, he was taken aback.
"Congratulations to Master Du and Master Shi for achieving peerless, upper-rank Golden Cores. From now on, the Way to Immortality is evergreen, and the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit is within reach." Qi Qiantian eagerly also congratulated the East Spring Undying Bone, "Congratulations on gaining your left and right arms. You will certainly make remarkable achievements in the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect and lead a lineage."
"Release the restrictions on your Golden Core," Wen Jiu directed the East Spring Undying Bone, both to dispel some of Qi Qiantian’s suspicions and to see this Cyan Demon Secret Pattern with his own eyes. In Jue Xing’s soul memory, he had only seen the copied Cyan Demon Secret Pattern, but Wen Jiu felt it was somewhat similar to the secret patterns on the True Spirit Divine Tree and the True Spirit Demon Tree. To determine if they are from the same source, he needed to see it with his own eyes.
Qi Qiantian nodded, immediately lifting the restrictions on his Golden Core, allowing it to be examined for the location of the Cyan Demon Secret Pattern.
Even though Qi Qiantian had already accepted him as an ally, he remained cautious, using the Divine Soul Technique to protect his Golden Core, only allowing the Divine Sense of the East Spring Undying Bone to enter the area where the Cyan Demon Secret Pattern resided.
Upon entry, an extremely unique True Demon Aura surged forth, distinct from any Demonic Qi Wen Jiu had encountered before. However, the key point was the unique aura emanating from the Cyan Demon Secret Pattern, which was indeed very similar to the black secret pattern on the True Spirit Divine Tree and the True Spirit Demon Tree.
Yet, it was closer to the black secret pattern on the True Spirit Divine Tree, with some differences from the True Spirit Demon Tree.
"It seems this Cyan Demon Lineage is related, to some extent, to the True Spirit Divine Tree and the Blood Demon Sect." Wen Jiu thought about this because he had been contemplating a question. fгeewebnovёl.com
The True Spirit Demon Tree can enhance the Three Corpses’ bloodline, evolving them into Corpse Demons.
Would finding other True Spirit Divine Trees similarly enhance the quality of Spirit Roots?
Wen Jiu had a premonition that his True Spirit Root was significantly connected to the True Spirit Divine Tree.
As well as to the Blood Demon Sect.
"So it was all a misunderstanding among allies." Wen Jiu withdrew his Divine Sense, released his killing intent, and displayed a kindly smile.
Qi Qiantian’s mouth twitched as he looked at the kindly smile, unsure of what to say at that moment.
When you were swallowing the magical power and Spiritual Qi from my talismans, you weren’t so considerate. You didn’t even acknowledge me when I showed them to you.
But Qi Qiantian dared not dwell on it, "It was all a misunderstanding, terribly sorry, I almost became the obstacle to Fellow Daoist Du and Fellow Daoist Shi’s paths. Rest assured, I certainly won’t spare Master Zhu!"
"Is it all Master Zhu’s fault?" free𝑤ebnovel.com
Wen Jiu spoke again.
Qi Qiantian’s expression tensed, realizing something. He quickly retrieved four small storage bags from his storage space, each containing a hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones. After releasing them from the talismans, Qi Qiantian hurriedly said, "The matter concerning my son caused trouble for you, my fellow cultivator. Please accept a small token of my apology. In a few days, there will surely be a lavish gift as well."
"Indeed, it is all Master Zhu’s fault." Wen Jiu gladly accepted the storage bags. "Your concern for your son is truly paternal love. Although I have no children, I am deeply moved... Come on, my fellow Daoist, let’s find a place to have a drink."
Qi Qiantian’s smile was plentiful, yet it halted at the mention of a drink, "My fellow cultivator, another day, another day I will surely come. Today I must look after my son, I’m truly in no mood for drinking."
"Very well, let’s head back together then."
"Fellow Daoist, please go ahead; it will take me some time to gather these talismans, and I do not wish to delay your affairs."
Wen Jiu sighed.
Qi Qiantian’s forced smile froze once more.
"My fellow cultivator, you still don’t trust me, do you?"
Qi Qiantian responded in a panic, "No, no, no, how could Qi Mou doubt you? It’s just that I..."
