Chapter 514 -303: The Situation_2

According to the “Moonlight Corpse Scroll”, when a corpse undergoes Heavenly Thunder, as long as the spirit of the refining corpse and the Corpse Pill are well-protected, the corpse can have the highest chance of surviving the Heavenly Thunder calamity.

The spirit of the refining corpse can be protected by the cultivator’s own spirit through a secret technique, but the Corpse Pill cannot be assisted in any way.

The “Moonlight Corpse Scroll” was obtained from Elder Lv, who, judging by the large number of Peak Iron Corpses he cultivated, must have considerable confidence in this secret technique; otherwise, why would he spend a vast amount of resources to cultivate so many Iron Corpses?

It is known that more than ten Iron Corpses are not as strong as a single Silver Corpse; by cultivating more than ten Iron Corpses, Elder Lv was likely thinking of transforming all the Iron Corpses into Silver Corpses.

The “Moonlight Corpse Scroll” is not among the corpse refining scriptures of the Senluo Sect; Li Yuanba surmised that it is probably Elder Lv’s private legacy.

This phenomenon is common in many large sects. Sects reward cultivators who contribute their family inheritances, but not all sect cultivators are willing to hand over the scriptures they obtain, instead treating them as their own lineage’s legacy.

In the field of corpse refining, Elder Lv’s “Moonlight Corpse Scroll” is considered one of the stronger inheritances among several within the Senluo Sect.

Li Yuanba’s entire body was trembling; he had endured some of the soul damage from Jiang Chen, which was only possible because his soul was strong enough to avoid much harm to his spirit while using the secret technique.

His spirit strength far surpassed his own realm; he had undergone Heavenly Thunder twice and received heavenly rewards twice, which enhanced his spirit on both occasions.

Although his spirit was helping Jiang Chen to endure the damage, his mind was focused on Jiang Chen’s Corpse Pill.

The surface of the Corpse Pill was covered with purple lightning, and cracks had already begun to form; he feared that in the next moment the Corpse Pill would shatter into pieces.

Just as he was worried, strands of Sword Intent emerged from the Corpse Pill, resisting the purple lightning.

At a certain instant, the power of the Heavenly Thunder vanished as abruptly as it had appeared.

Following that, the heavens and the earth rewarded the beings who had passed the trial. Jiang Chen, charred black from head to toe, felt every single cell in his body vibrating with joy.

Especially the Corpse Pill, which had passed the Heavenly Thunder trial, experienced a significant enhancement in energy, Sword Intent, and spirit within; it emitted energy, Sword Intent, and spirit to restore the refining corpse.

Heavenly Thunder had drained everything from Jiang Chen’s refining corpse, but the Yin Cold Energy, Sword Intent, and spirit flowing out from the Corpse Pill were giving him a comprehensive enhancement.

Although Jiang Chen, who had survived the Heavenly Thunder calamity, had less energy, Sword Intent, and spirit within him than before, their quality had significantly improved. And with the existence of the Corpse Pill, everything inside him was rapidly recovering.

Jiang Chen had become a Silver Corpse; Li Yuanba did not let him leave the formation. Jiang Chen still needed some time to recover in order to stabilize his Silver Corpse Realm.

“Junior Li’s corpse refining has succeeded!” Liu Gang whispered to He Wei.

Without his reminder, how could He Wei not know? The sudden arrival of Heavenly Thunder had shocked and bewildered all the cultivators on Northern Island.

Most cultivators on Northern Island were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with no Golden Core cultivators present, so they did not understand what had happened.

It was only because the heavenly might arrived abruptly and departed just as quickly that it did not cause much impact.

“To succeed on the first try, I didn’t expect Junior Li to have talent in the art of corpse refining as well!” He Wei shook his head in speechless admiration.

Although Liu Gang also possessed a Silver Corpse, he nodded in agreement.

Only cultivators who have personally refined a Silver Corpse can understand the difficulty of cultivating one.

Liu Gang himself was very weak in combat, and even his magical treasure was a basic one rewarded by the sect; he had devoted all his resources and efforts to corpse refining, spending the vast majority of his contribution points on materials and secret techniques for refining corpses.

Even so, he failed twice before succeeding in refining a Silver Corpse.

This process took over fifty years, which was considered rather short; he was lucky to have succeeded after only two failures.

But looking at the present Li Yuanba, how long had it been since Li Yuanba started his training? Not only was he a Sword Cultivation Golden Core, but he had also cultivated a Silver Corpse with special abilities.

Jiang Chen was promoted to a Silver Corpse, but this advancement did not significantly impact Li Yuanba’s combat abilities. Without much joy, Li Yuanba immersed himself back into cultivation.

In the past three months, the biggest event on the Beishu Continent was the affair of the Skywalk Trading Company.

The Jade Scroll that Li Shiming handed over to his master, Elder Su, led to a united front against the Skywalk Trading Company under the efforts of Shushan Sect. Not only the three major sects of the Righteous Path, but also the three major sects of the Demon Sect and various forces of the continent joined the campaign.

Perhaps conflict between the Righteous and the Demon Sects will never end, but when facing an external threat, the Beishu Continent would become united, jointly confronting the adversary.

The information recorded on the Jade Scroll let the sects of the Beishu Continent learn about the espionage activities of the Skywalk Trading Company.

The company’s strongholds were destroyed, numerous personnel were captured. In just a few months, the Skywalk Trading Company went from being one of the continent’s leading trading companies to being despised by all, like a rat crossing the street.

The cultivators who had been bribed within the sects were also identified one by one and dealt with physically.

For the sects, betrayal is the greatest sin.

It could be said that after these three months, the imprint of the Skywalk Trading Company on the Beishu Continent was almost erased. Of course, there might still be some hidden spies from the company.

However, with the united efforts of the Righteous and Demon Sects, it was impossible for the Skywalk Trading Company to take any further actions on the Beishu Continent.

The beneficiary of this operation was the Shushan Sect, as it was they who produced the evidence. The major sects owed a favor to Shushan Sect.

This favor would benefit Shushan Sect in future exchanges, through various means.

The pursuit of the Skywalk Trading Company continued, mainly because Supervisor Feng Yi had not been captured.

As a False Infant existence, only a Nascent Soul Ancestor could deal with Supervisor Feng Yi, which is why the major sects intensified their investigative efforts.

Even in recent years, the six major sects had a Nascent Soul Ancestor on guard, ready to deploy and eradicate threats at a moment’s notice.

What no one expected was not that Supervisor Feng Yi was avoiding confrontation, but that Supervisor Feng Yi, the False Infant powerhouse, had already been slain by Li Shiming. Such an outcome would not only be disbelieved by the Nascent Soul Ancestors but by all the cultivators on the continent as well.

Atop Sword Holding Peak, Li Shiming had not left the mountain since participating in the Fire Cloud Valley Alchemy Gathering.

According to Elder Su, as long as Supervisor Feng Yi’s whereabouts were unknown, Li Shiming would not be allowed to leave the sect.

Probably the person who hated Li Shiming the most was Supervisor Feng Yi himself. Li Shiming’s single Jade Scroll had led to the complete disappearance of the Skywalk Trading Company from the Beishu Continent, turning Supervisor Feng Yi’s centuries of effort into mist.

Li Shiming knew that Supervisor Feng Yi had perished, but he couldn’t reveal the truth and could only stay at the sect’s mountain gate as Elder Su had requested.

In the pavilion at the top of Sword Peak, a third-grade Clear Spirit Mingxin Incense was burning, its sparse smoke confined by the Formation within the pavilion and unable to spread.

Li Shiming sat at the stone table with an ancient zither in front of him.

Finding himself unable to break through his bottleneck quickly and unable to leave the sect to seek an opportunity, he had found another method.

That was to cultivate his spirit, using his zither practice to elevate his state of mind, thereby seeking that slight chance for breakthrough.

His study of the ancient zither was not random; he had not yet cultivated the legacy he had received from the Six-fingered Sound Demon.

Previously, due to lack of time, he had not practiced the Six-fingered Sound Demon’s legacy. Now that he had reached the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his daily cultivation was just to maintain the stability of the Spiritual Power within his body, with no possibility of further improvement.

Additionally, the task of Alchemy had been adjusted to once every ten or so days, reducing the amount of Alchemy he performed made his involvement more precious and also reduced the impact on other Alchemy Masters.

Therefore, he had a lot of free time to learn the legacy of the Six-fingered Sound Demon.

Learning the ‘Heavenly Sound Secret Manual’ was not complicated. With the help of IBMz15, all the theoretical aspects of learning became exceptionally simple. What he needed to do was to connect theory with practice.
