The Code Phrase

As Song Wen finished speaking, he stood up and faced Nine-Thunder Profound Lord, who had already reached the courtyard gate and turned around to look at him, while shielding Bai Jinge behind him.

Revealing the "Corpse King Reincarnation Art" directly is far too risky. If Nine-Thunder Profound Lord is practicing this Cultivation Method, he might very well suddenly turn on you and kill you.

However, this is Central Mu City. Once Nine-Thunder Profound Lord makes a move, the experts from the Purple Star Immortal Sect and Bai Zhengli will be able to arrive quickly. With the two or three hundred Death-Substitute Puppet accumulated over the years, Song Wen is fully confident that he can hold out until then.

However, Bai Jinge might find it difficult to do so.

Therefore, what Song Wen needed to do was protect Bai Jinge and absolutely not let her die.

In this way, Song Wen would have a chance to survive when Bai Zhengli arrived.

However, upon hearing this, Nine-Thunder Profound Lord showed no intention of making a move; instead, a look of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

"The Corpse King Reincarnation Art? What kind of Cultivation Method is that?" Nine-Thunder Profound Lord stared at Song Wen. "Is there any connection between this Cultivation Method and the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art?"

"Senior Nine-Thunder, you haven't heard of the 'Corpse King Reincarnation Art'?" Song Wen asked in return.

"No." Nine-Thunder Profound Lord's gaze gradually sharpened. "And how did you learn this, young friend?"

"I learned it from that tomb. But the name was only recorded on a stone slab inside the tomb; there was no description of the Cultivation Method," Song Wen said.

"Really?" Nine-Thunder Profound Lord questioned.

"I dare not deceive my seniors, and there is not a single falsehood in my words," Song Wen said.

Nine-Thunder Profound Lord did not respond, but stared intently at Song Wen without blinking.

Song Wen then asked, "May I ask Senior Nine-Thunder, is Senior Dust-Slaying's cultivation Cultivation Method also the 'Corpse King Blood Refinement Art'?"

He's really going all out.

Since we've already asked about the "Corpse King Reincarnation Art," why not ask for a little more information?

"Young friend, you know quite a lot." Nine-Thunder Profound Lord narrowed his eyes.

"Where did those two seniors' Cultivation Method come from?" Song Wen continued to ask. "The stone slab in that tomb also states that the Cultivation Method did not originate from the Purple Star Immortal Domain, but from the High-Heaven Immortal Domain. Is that true?"

"Where is that tomb you mentioned?" Nine-Thunder Profound Lord asked instead of answering.

"West of Azure Purity City, countless miles away, lies a small lake. The tomb is at the bottom of that lake," Song Wen said.

Nine-Thunder Profound Lord's brows furrowed tightly.

Given Song Wen's brief description, he probably wouldn't be able to find that small lake even after spending hundreds of years.

"Extreme Yin, do you perhaps think I'm easy to fool?"

"Senior Nine-Thunder, you are wise. The lake is indeed very remote, and I really don't know how to describe it. However, I can point out the location of the lake on a map," Song Wen said.

Nine-Thunder Profound Lord flipped his hand and took out a Jade Slip. After injecting a wisp of Immortal Essence, a topographical map appeared in the air.

The map is vast, encompassing the entire Purple Star Immortal Domain, though the more remote areas are depicted in a more approximate manner.

A glint of light flashed between Song Wen's fingers as he pointed towards the far west of the map.

"Senior, you should be here."

"Are you sure?" asked Nine-Thunder Profound Lord.

"Absolutely certain," Song Wen said.

The lake he pointed to had no tombs, but there was a Teleportation Array in a Cave at the bottom of the lake, leading to Teleportation Array Source-Qi Death Domain of the Jade Blossom Immortal Domain.

Back then, Song Wen traveled to the Jade Blossom Immortal Domain using this Teleportation Array.

Nine-Thunder Profound Lord were to personally investigate and discover the Teleportation Array, he would certainly not remain indifferent and would likely use it to Teleportation Array to the other side. Whether he could return alive at that time would be uncertain.

If Nine-Thunder Profound Lord were to return alive, they would make excuses such as the passage of time or the tomb's collapse or damage.

"I have answered all your questions truthfully, senior. May I ask where you obtained the 'Corpse King Reincarnation Art'?" Song Wen asked.

After a moment of silence, Nine-Thunder Profound Lord glanced at Bai Jinge behind Song Wen before responding.

"The Cultivation Method did indeed originate from the High-Heaven Immortal Sect. It was Yun He True Lord of the High-Heaven Immortal Sect who taught it to Dust-Slaying and me."

Thank you for informing me, senior.

Song Wen clasped his hands in a fist and bowed slightly.

Judging from his title, that "True Lord Yun He" should be a powerful figure at the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm.

But what was his purpose in passing on the "Corpse King Blood Refinement Art" to Nine-Thunder and Dust-Slaying?

Nine-Thunder Profound Lord said nothing more, turned and left the Small Courtyard, disappearing without a trace.

"Extreme Yin, why are you so concerned about that 'Corpse King Blood Refinement Art'?" Bai Jinge asked.

"I'm just curious, Cultivation Method in this world that can weaken the corrosive effect of Origin Qi on cultivators. If that's the case, is it possible to create a Cultivation Method that makes people completely immune to the corrosive effect of Origin Qi, and even allows them to absorb Origin Qi for cultivation?"

Song Wen's ramblings, though seemingly nonsensical, reveal a genuine thirst for knowledge, making them sound plausible.

Bai Jinge, whether believing him or remembering Song Wen's earlier mention of an 'unspeakable reason,' stopped pressing the matter and proactively changed the subject.

"Extreme Yin, what shall we do today?"

Song Wen said, "Let's go and browse through the various spirit material shops in the city."

Bai Jinge blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion.

Are you looking to buy some spiritual materials?

Song Wen nodded, "Buy some spiritual materials needed for fusing True Fire."

"You don't need to buy it. I've already prepared it for you!"

Bai Jinge smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards, and continued.

"After I gave you the 'Nine Luminaries Fire-Controlling True Scripture' last time, I guessed that you would eventually start fusing with True Fire. Since then, I have been collecting the auxiliary materials needed to fuse with True Fire, and now I have gathered them all. Only you can comprehend the 'Nine Luminaries Fire-Controlling True Scripture'."

After saying that, Bai Jinge stuffed a Storage Bag into Song Wen's hand.

Song Wen the opportunity to gently embrace Bai Jinge.

Thank you.

"Shall we still go to the spirit material shops today?" Bai Jinge asked.

"No, thank you," Song Wen said. "How about... we go to Bamboo-Hidden Ravine?"

Bai Jinge seemed to understand something, and her eyes suddenly brightened.

"Um!"
