Hey, What Are You Doing?
Chang Yanzi, a disciple of the Immortal Venerable Hongluo, was once very famous.
Unfortunately, he has now died and vanished, leaving only an empty shell.
Moreover, it was a mess, pieced together haphazardly.
Because of his previous foresight, Lin Yunji used the Jade Butterfly of Creation to conceal his aura when returning along the same route this time.
In this way, the corpse monster that Chang Yanzi had transformed into would naturally not be able to detect them.
"What is he doing?" Lin Yunji, lurking in the shadows, watched the corpse monster.
The corpse-like monster was seen wandering back and forth, seemingly doing nothing.
"Never mind him, let's go back," Jiu Lu couldn't help but say.
When he saw this monstrous corpse, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Mm." Lin Yunji nodded.
But at that moment, the corpse monster suddenly shouted loudly,
"This time, I will expound the Great Dao of Creation! Creation is that which rides upon the vital energy of the Primordial Expanse..."
He shouted loudly, and the Great Dao trembled, causing golden lotuses to fall all around him.
"He's giving a sermon?!" Lin Yunji and the others were all a bit confused.
"Chang Yanzi is dead, but some residual memories remain within his body. These memories control him."
Shi Mang said in a deep voice, "He's imitating things that happened in those memories."
"Hmm." Lin Yunji nodded slightly.
But then he spoke,
"Fellow Daoist, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should share it!"
"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely," Shi Mang said.
"I want to take him back," Lin Yunji said.
"What?! Your Majesty! You've gone mad!"
Jiu Lu was startled. He subconsciously looked at Lin Yunji and said...
Then, seemingly realizing his rudeness, Jiu Lu hurriedly said to Lin Yunji...
"Your Excellency, that's not what I meant."
However, this corpse monster has lost all sentience.
His current actions are merely influenced by his past memories!
Even if you bring him back, you can't bring him back to life!
Chang Yanzi and Heavenly Venerable Fanti are not the same!
Moreover, the Celestial Venerable was not truly dead; he was merely in a state between life and death.
"Are you scared?" Lin Yunji asked Jiu Lu.
"Yes! I am a little scared." Jiu Lu honestly admitted.
"If you're afraid, then come into my little world," Lin Yunji said.
"Your Excellency, that's not what I meant."
Jiu Lu hurriedly added, "I just think it's unnecessary for us to risk capturing a mindless corpse monster."
"Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you," Lin Yunji said to Jiu Lu.
"I know he's just a shell, but I wanted to give it a try."
Lin Yunji said, "All things have spirits, even stones can become sentient and take form, so can the corpse monster regain its intelligence?!"
If the corpse monster gains sentience, then who is he?! Is he Chang Yanzi, or a completely new person?!
"I just wanted to give it a try."
Faced with Lin Yunji's words, Jiu Lu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter a single word.
Shi Mang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Fellow Lin Yunji's idea is truly... truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!"
"How is it?" Lin Yunji asked Shi Mang again.
After a moment's hesitation, Shi Mang said, "It's worth a try!"
"Okay!" Lin Yunji nodded.
"My Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda can capture it!"
It was merely a corpse monster, possessing immense power but lacking intelligence.
Once it's captured inside, no matter how much it wreaks havoc within the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda, it won't be able to escape!
"However, the prerequisite is that we have to take all the Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure from its possession!"
"Otherwise, if it brings the Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure into my Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda and starts attacking it recklessly, and actually destroys the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda, then I will suffer a terrible loss!" Lin Yunji said.
"That's right," Shi Mang nodded.
Having Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure and not having Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure are two different concepts.
Moreover, some Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure possess unfathomable power.
Even if the corpse monster were to enter the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda with numerous Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure, it might not be able to trap it.
"Currently, he possesses a total of six Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure."
"Whether there are any other hidden Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure remains unknown," Shi Mang said.
"In short, let's find a way to take those six Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure from him first!"
First, take down these six items. If he still has other Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure hidden there...
"I suppose they'll bring it out again, and then we'll figure out what to do," Lin Yunji said.
"That makes perfect sense," Shi Mang said.
"Subduing this corpse monster will yield six Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure; I think it's worth it," You Han said.
Jiu Lu, too, was somewhat envious of the Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure in the Corpse Monster's hand.
"Of the six Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure, three are for you, and three are for us."
Lin Yunji spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, isn't this somewhat biased...?" Shi Mang said.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to refuse any longer! It was I who suggested capturing him in the first place."
Given such risks, you only received three items, which is not much!
"Besides, the Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure in his possession is already damaged and incomplete. Even if he obtained it, repairing it wouldn't be a simple matter," Lin Yunji said.
"In that case, I will not refuse," Shi Mang said.
"This corpse monster is incredibly powerful."
Either of us, if we were to fight him one-on-one, we might not actually be able to beat him.
"But if we join forces, taking him down shouldn't be a problem," Shi Mang said.
"Yes!" Lin Yunji responded.
"This corpse monster has no intelligence; it wins purely through brute force. We'll join forces to fight it, while the three of you will provide cover and hold it off from both sides..."
Shi Mang explained his plan, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"By the way, this place is fraught with danger. If we fight him here, we'll have to be distracted by the tribulation waves. I think it would be better to lure him out and fight him outside," Lin Yunji said.
"Yes! That's important too. We don't need to fight him here!" Shi Mang agreed wholeheartedly.
After everything was planned and discussed properly, Lin Yunji and his group took action.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
Lin Yunji dispelled the concealment effect of the Jade Butterfly of Creation and appeared openly before the corpse monster.
The corpse monster, who had been reveling in its own world and preaching the Great Dao, suddenly fell silent.
Then, on his corpse, the eyes of every head were fixedly staring at Lin Yunji.
Being stared at by so many eyes made Lin Yunji feel a chill run down his spine.
Perhaps his idea of capturing this monster alive isn't necessarily a good thing!
But now that things have come to this, there's no going back.
As the saying goes, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; Lin Yunji is currently in that very situation.
What are you spacing out for?! I'm talking to you!
Lin Yunji shouted loudly at the corpse monster again.
