Deep beneath the Corpse Yin Sect.
There was an enormous underground cavern here, with a massive coffin placed at its center.
From the outside, that coffin looked utterly ordinary, without the slightest decoration.
Yet from within, it continuously emitted a vast, chilling aura.
The Chilling Qi pervading the entire Corpse Yin Sect clearly originated from this place.
Boom!
Qin Hao opened the coffin lid, and an incomparably massive male corpse immediately appeared before his eyes.
The corpse's skin was iron-blue and smooth as a mirror, as though it had been carved from jade.
A faint axe imprint on its brow flickered erratically, appearing and disappearing.
Strange purplish-blue plants covered the corpse.
Those plants constantly squirmed. Each time they did, the giant's body shriveled, only to quickly return to normal.
The chilling mist came from those purple plants.
"The Giant Demon Clan's true Old Ancestor!"
Qin Hao knew that the man before him was the Old Ancestor who had brought the Giant Demon Clan to Vermilion Bird Star.
He was a Mid-stage Asking Peak cultivator. Back then, for the Giant Demon Clan, he had wielded a giant axe into the Immortal Remnant Clan and slain three Nine-leaf Spell Masters comparable to Early-stage Asking Peak cultivators.
In the end, he had caught the attention of an expert from the Corpse Yin Sect and was secretly sealed here.
"Save me..."
"Save me..."
Suddenly, waves of cries came from the corpse.
Lei Ji had clearly sensed his arrival.
Qin Hao merely glanced at him and ignored him.
Leaving aside the fact that Lei Ji was an Ascension stage expert, who knew whether he would kill Qin Hao first after being released?
Even if he would not, there was still a Second Step Expert parasitizing those vines.
If he woke that person, Qin Hao would be finished.
Qin Hao opened his mouth wide and spat out the Wood Sword of Years, then fiercely slashed it at Lei Ji's body.
Clang!
This magic treasure, capable of injuring a Spirit Severing expert, struck Lei Ji's body as if it had hit the hardest metal.
Bang!
A tremendous rebounding force struck him, sending Qin Hao staggering back several steps. Even a tiny crack appeared along the blade.
"As expected of a Giant Demon Clan expert famed for his physical body!"
Qin Hao sighed. "Even Wang Mazi couldn't cut him open with an Immortal Sword. It's normal for my lousy wooden sword to fail!"
All things in the world restrained one another.
Although magic treasures could not cut through the Giant Demon Clan's physical body, there were forces that could restrain it as well.
Whoosh!
Qin Hao slashed through the air again!
This time, he did not strike Lei Ji's body. Instead, he cut one of the vines.
That vine seemed extremely fragile and was effortlessly severed.
Sizzle!
When the fluid within dripped onto Lei Ji's body, it actually corroded that jade-like physique.
Qin Hao picked up a broken branch and continued corroding Lei Ji's body with the fluid seeping from its fractured end.
After Lei Ji's skin had been corroded open, the broken branch suddenly broke free and burrowed inside like a snake, leaving behind a hole.
Through that hole, Qin Hao began extracting the Giant Demon Clan blood from Lei Ji's body.
Giant Demon Clan blood contained traces of Ancient God bloodline and could be used to temper a cultivator's body.
In the original work, Teng Family's Teng Yi had relied on Giant Demon Clan essence blood to temper his body.
He had directly used Giant Demon Clan essence blood to temper himself into an invincible Nascent Soul stage cultivator, someone even Extreme Realm Spiritual Sense could not kill.
If Wang Mazi had not taken that mass of blood, he would never have been able to kill him.
Furthermore, if one possessed an Ancient God inheritance, one could use Giant Demon Clan blood to unleash the divine abilities of the Ancient God Clan.
Qin Hao would obtain an Ancient God inheritance sooner or later, so he naturally needed to prepare in advance.
"Save me... I am willing to give you the Giant Demon Clan's precious treasure!"
"If you save me, I am willing to become your servant and mount, and I will give you the Giant Demon Clan's supreme treasure, Heaven-Opening Iron!"
"Within the Cultivation Alliance, those cultivators with Great Divine Abilities love Giant Demon Clan mounts the most!"
At that moment, more voices rang out.
As Qin Hao calmly collected the blood, he knowingly asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Lei Ji, Marquis of Ten Thousand of the Giant Demon Clan!"
Lei Ji answered, his voice filled with immense pride.
Qin Hao asked, "The highest cultivation here seems to be only Nascent Soul stage. How were you sealed?"
"Back then, I charged into the Immortal Remnant Clan and personally slew three Nine-leaf Spell Masters comparable to Early-stage Asking Peak cultivators. Then I was pursued by two Eleven Leaves Spell Masters comparable to Late-stage Asking Peak cultivators!"
Lei Ji slowly said, "Although I escaped using the Giant Demon Clan's innate divine ability, I was severely injured and captured by an expert of the Corpse Yin Sect, who sealed me here!"
"As long as you save me, I am willing to become your mount. The Giant Demon Clan rarely becomes another's mount, but once we do, we will never betray them!"
"Sorry, I'm only a mere Nascent Soul cultivator. I don't have that ability!"
Qin Hao glanced at the Jade Bottle filled with blood and directly refused.
Whoosh!
With that, he slipped away.
Whether it was Lei Ji, a Mid-stage Asking Peak cultivator, or the Corpse Yin Sect expert whose cultivation had reached the Second Step, neither was someone he could handle right now.
Though that person was asleep, once Lei Ji escaped, he would completely awaken. He was an existence that all the experts of Vermilion Bird Star combined could not resist.
Even now, he had only a Nascent Soul left and was in his weakest state.
"No!"
Sensing Qin Hao moving farther and farther away, Lei Ji let out an unwilling roar.
Qin Hao had only just returned to his cave abode when the Chat Group sent a notification.
[Ding!] [Immortal Remnant Clan member Mei Ji has joined the Chat Group!]
"Mei Ji?"
Qin Hao froze for a moment before quickly realizing that she was the Third Ancestor of the Immortal Remnant Clan.
It could be said that she was one of the few beauties in the Immortal Remnant Clan who closely resembled the Human Race.
Immortal Relic Land.
Underground Eleventh Floor.
Seaweed-like plants grew everywhere here, forming an expanse of lush green.
As the leaves swayed, they contained a certain law.
At the center of the area grew an enormous Reincarnation Tree.
At that moment, an incomparably beautiful woman sat cross-legged beneath the Reincarnation Tree.
She wore a purple gown, her figure graceful and perfectly proportioned. Her skin was white as jade, without the slightest flaw.
Only upon her forehead flickered a nine-leaf plant, giving her an eerie, seductive air.
In terms of appearance alone, she was in no way inferior to Liu Mei or Yao Xixue.
[Ding!] [The Peerless Beauty Chat Group invites you to join!] [Do you accept?]
"Who?"
Mei Ji's eyelashes trembled as she abruptly opened her eyes and looked around.
Her eyes were bright and lively, with a faint glimmer flickering within them.
Mei Ji swept her surroundings with her spiritual sense and found no one nearby.
But soon, she saw an illusory panel before her.
I want to see who is causing this trouble!
Thinking this, Mei Ji directly chose to accept.
