The Ancient Corpse Refining Sect, Qin Yue Tian's Forbidden Art, and the Journey to the Imperial Capital's Imperial City!
Although their souls were in turmoil, the powerful effect of the God-Demon Seal calmed them down.
He has regained his senses and reason.
However, most of the memory has been lost.
One remembered his name and sect, while the other had forgotten even his own name.
Corpse Refining Sect.
The name of this sect doesn't sound very respectable.
These members of the Corpse Refining Sect actually refined themselves into Corpse Fiend in order to prolong their lifespan.
The Corpse Fiend harbored resentment.
It can also survive by absorbing the resentment of heaven and earth.
Therefore, it is entirely possible to achieve immortality without the need for Spiritual Qi.
But resentment has a huge impact on the soul.
Without the suppression of Spiritual Power, the soul and consciousness will be eroded.
Until one gradually loses their true self and becomes a true Corpse Fiend.
The Corpse Fiend in the Corpse Refining Sect below the cave also came from this source.
Millions of years of resentment have eroded it; no one can withstand that.
"Where are the other Demonic Monster?" Ling Yi asked Wei Tiansheng.
"Young master, some of them have been detained in the city lord's prison, and the rest have been transported to the capital," Wei Tiansheng replied immediately.
He paused, then added, "However, young master, we'd better head to the capital as soon as possible."
"If it's too late, it might get troublesome." Wei Tiansheng's face was full of worry.
"Troublesome?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
" Qin Yue Tian, the new emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, has cultivated an evil technique that allows him to devour the essence, energy, and spirit of others to enhance himself."
" The Northern Darkness Divine Art, you say?" Ling Yi asked.
"Young master, what kind of Northern Darkness Divine Art?"
"A divine skill that can absorb the cultivation of others and use it for one's own benefit!"
"Oh, that's about right. Qin Yue Tian cultivates the Kun Tun Divine Art, a forbidden technique secretly kept by the royal family."
"During the reign of Emperor Taizu, it was stated that, unless facing a life-or-death situation, members of the royal family are strictly forbidden from practicing this forbidden art."
"But Qin Yue Tian has extremely low talent, yet she covets the throne and is unwilling to be ordinary."
"He's been secretly practicing the Kun Tun Divine Art for ten years now, but his comprehension is terrible; he only just started to Entry the basics two years ago."
"In the past two years, Qin Yue Tian, a seemingly useless Martial Practitioner with only the cultivation level of the Acquired, has raised his cultivation to the Late Innate thanks to this forbidden technique."
"These Demonic Monster are incredibly powerful."
"If Qin Yue Tian were to devour all of our cultivation, then this world would likely see the emergence of a terrifying new being."
These Demonic Monster are so powerful that even our young master can't break through their defenses.
If Qin Yue Tian successfully devours it, wouldn't it become invincible?
The key point is that Wei Tiansheng and Qin Yue Tian are at odds, and could even be considered mortal enemies.
If Qin Yue Tian gets cocky, he'll be the first one to suffer.
Ling Yi shook his head dismissively. "No need to worry. If the new emperor you speak of really dares to devour the cultivation of these Demonic Monster..."
"The consequences will be dire."
The runes on these Demonic Monster are incredibly powerful.
If you can't understand them, or rather, can't break through these runic markings, you won't be able to devour even a trace of the Demonic Monster's essence.
Even if it could devour, it could only Devouring Demon's body.
It's corpse poison stored for millions of years! If you took a bite, I guarantee it would be incredibly potent.
"Young master, you must not underestimate the Kun Tun Divine Art," Wei Tiansheng warned.
"It is said that the Kun Tun Divine Art was obtained by the royal family from an ancient secret realm."
"However, once one cultivates this secret technique, their temperament will drastically change, becoming extremely ferocious, and eventually even losing their mind and becoming unable to distinguish friend from foe."
Ling Yi raised an eyebrow.
The cultivation techniques from ancient secret realms? That's hard to say.
It seems necessary to take a stroll through the palace.
"Are you very knowledgeable about things in the palace?"
"My elder brother is the chief eunuch, Wei Wuji."
Ling Yi glanced at Wei Tiansheng: "So, it was you who told your eunuch brother, Wei Wuji, about the Immortal Abode in the Cave."
"Was it you who ordered the Demonic Monster to be transported to the capital?"
Wei Tiansheng scratched his head awkwardly. "Young Master, I didn't tell Wei Wuji about the Immortal Abode in the cave. My brother has people around me who arranged it."
"They say they're protecting me, but in reality they're just monitoring me, afraid I'll cause trouble."
"It was that person who relayed the news of the celestial abode in the cave back to the capital."
"Then I received Wei Wuji's order to transport the Demonic Monster to the capital."
"However, young master, rest assured, Wei Wuji, Qin Yue Tian, and I are not on the same path."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sent down to such a remote place as Dafeng City to be a Xiaoxiao deputy prefect, and I wouldn't have been monitored by people arranged by Wei Wuji."
"To be precise, Qin Yue Tian and I are mortal enemies."
"My brother sides with Qin Yue Tian, so he's naturally an enemy too."
Ling Yi nodded, but in reality, he wasn't that concerned about Wei Tiansheng's matter.
But since Wei Tiansheng wanted to speak, Ling Yi didn't interrupt him.
"Ten years ago, my fiancée was taken in by Qin Yue Tian, who was only seventeen at the time. She died a day and a night later."
"The body was covered in horrific wounds; it's hard to imagine what Xiaodie went through that day and night."
How could someone so beastly at seventeen?
It seems that this Qin Emperor was indeed not a good person.
I just don't know if Qin Yue and Qin Yuan have arrived in the capital yet.
We should have arrived by now!
With their current strength and cultivation level, they should be able to reach the capital in two days at most.
However, Ling Yi is now somewhat worried about his older sister.
If Qin Yue Tian is indeed practicing an ancient cultivation technique.
If they can really devour these Corpse Fiend, then Ling Yun and the others might actually be in danger.
"My brother was worried that if I stayed in the capital, Xiaodie's matter would ruin his plans, so he sent me to this Great Wind City."
"Over the years, I've cultivated relentlessly, striving to break through to the Master realm, because I want to return to the Master and take revenge after that."
"Yet he remains stuck at the Innate Great Perfection, unable to make any further progress."
"To break through, one needs the royal treasure, the Imperial Mandate Pill, for any possibility of achieving a breakthrough."
"And if they want the Imperial Mandate Pill, they have no choice but to submit to Wei Wuji."
Ling Yi glanced at Wei Tiansheng and said, "You are in charge of leading the people to continue exploring the Immortal Abode Cave, and try to get as many Corpse Fiend as possible for me."
"These Corpse Fiend are extremely useful to me; no one else should touch them."
"Otherwise, use your full strength."
Ling Yi is going to the capital now, and he is a little worried about his sister Ling Yun.
As for this ancient Corpse Refining Sect, and these Corpse Fiend...
Ling Yi plans to conduct the research after returning from the capital.
Although these Corpse Fiend have lost most of their memories.
But even with fragmented memories, it should be possible to piece together some useful information.
"Young master, are you going to the capital?" Wei Tiansheng asked.
Ling Yi nodded. "Yes, if there's an opportunity, I will personally bring Qin Yue Tian back and hand him over to you for disposal."
Wei Tiansheng was taken aback, then bowed and clasped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, young master!"
Ling Yi didn't say anything more.
He immediately Qingyun Steps, transforming into a golden light and soaring into the sky.
However, a moment later, it turned back from the air.
He grabbed Huo Wudao, who hadn't really participated in the whole thing, and shot him into the air again.
There was nothing Ling Yi could do; he didn't know the way.
We'll have to find a guide.
Huo Wudao is Huo Yan'er's father.
Given this relationship, why not give him a chance to appear on screen?
"This Qingyun Steps is a bit lacking in class!" Ling Yi frowned as he flew through the air.
"System, give me some points to level up the Qingyun Steps."
[Ding! 53,000 Upgrade Points consumed. Qingyun Steps has advanced and mutated into Qingyun Art, Perfection level!]
