Chapter 38: Moving the Corpses

Hong Daoist's voice begging for mercy was immediately heard in the Su Chen Qing Mang.

"I really don't know! Fellow Daoist, please be merciful. I have already..."

Chu Tai directly interrupted Hong Daoren’s begging for mercy.

"Who is your fellow Taoist? If you are still unwilling to tell the truth, then I will have no choice but to use you as a test subject. It just so happens that you told me the ritual method of the Six Yang Divine Infant Pagoda before."

He stretched out his hand and the Su Chen Qing Mang fell into his hand again, and then was stuffed into the Six Yang Divine Infant Tower.

"I'll refine you inside, and then try to take you out. If I'm lucky, I might be able to do it in two or three tries."

"But I can't say what your fate will be."

Upon hearing this, before Master Hong could open his mouth to answer, he let out a series of wails because of the sudden flames that rose up all around him.

“Mercy! God, please have mercy! Ahhhhh, spare me… No… Ahhhh…”

"So, have you thought it through?"

After taking out the pine needles from the Six Yang Divine Infant Tower, Chu Tai asked Master Hong again.

Master Hong, who felt the power of his magic weapon so clearly for the first time, felt a little weaker than before, but with the blessing of Chu Tai's magic power, he was still energetic and his mind was very clear.

"Master, I have even told you the key to my family's inherited altar. How dare I hide the method of dismantling this magic weapon? I really don't know."

"You've refined a magic weapon, but you're telling me you don't know how to disassemble it?"

Chu Tai continued to sneer. In fact, when Master Hong told him everything about his cultivation, he had already realized that he must have obtained the Six Yang Divine Infant Tower's ritual method from somewhere else.

But Chu Tai didn't intend to ask himself, he wanted Hong Daoren to tell it himself.

Taoist Hong also vaguely guessed Chu Tai's plan, and in order to be freed as soon as possible, he did not dare to hide anything.

"This Six Yang Divine Infant Tower is not a magic weapon inherited from my lineage, but a ritual and refining method that I obtained accidentally."

"Obtained it by accident?"

Chu Tai kept smiling. According to the records in Jinhua Sect's classics, it is better to believe in a golden elixir falling from the sky than to believe in a magic weapon obtained for no reason, or a magic technique that came from nowhere.

Taoist Hong also heard Chu Tai's sarcasm and responded somewhat unnaturally.

"I know there must be something wrong with these foreign methods, but the essence of my offering sacrifice to the Six Sun Divine Infant Pagoda is to enhance the power of the altar that has lost part of its inheritance, and I don't intend to use it as the dominant force."

"If you don't take it as the main thing, why do you place it under the altar for worship?"

Chu Tai was too lazy to continue chatting with Taoist Hong, so he asked him directly where he got the inheritance.

"Qiu He Mountain. In Qiu He Mountain, I have told the Immortal Master everything I know. I hope the Immortal Master will have mercy on me and let me reincarnate."

Chu Tai did not respond to Master Hong's final request, but sent him into the altar.

The spiritual light fell into hell and Taoist Hong screamed.

"You don't keep your word!"

"You say that as if I promised you something."

"Besides, you only have your soul left now, and it is still in my magic weapon. Can you restrain the evil thoughts in your heart? When you were talking about Qiuhe Mountain, don't show that you want me to die so obviously."

Chu Tai threw down the command flag, the golden lamp shook, and many phantoms of hell kept rotating.

The souls of Taoist Hong, the old man and the middle-aged man kept rotating in the nine hells. Every time they changed hells, their magic power and souls that they had cultivated for many years were worn away a little, and finally only a little soul remained to fall into the underworld.

After doing all this, Chu Tai looked towards the door and shouted.

"You can come in." After Guo Shan came in, he looked at the two bodies on the ground with a strange expression.

"Master, can I...carry this master...back?"

It was still a sporadic answer, but the words surprised Chu Tai a little.

"Carry it back? Are you still a corpse carrier?"

"Corpse...carrier? I don't know either, but...the master said it's me, so...I am it."

Guo Shan touched his head and pointed at the old man's body to explain.

"This... master once told me... that if... he died, his son would most likely not care about him, so... he asked me to carry his... body... back."

"What about this one? He won't carry me?"

Chu Tai pointed at the body of the middle-aged man.

"Let's carry it back... Since we have seen it, let's carry it back together. Master... Don't worry, I am very strong, and carrying... two people won't affect the trip."

Guo Shan said this and added another sentence.

"Moreover... the master can ask their relatives for money. In the past... this master... did just that."

"Why are you doing this?"

Faced with Chu Tai's new question, Guo Shan seemed a little unable to understand. It was only after Chu Tai broke it down and asked it again that he finally reacted.

"When I was helping to carry people, I said that it would be very pitiful if I couldn't go back, just like I couldn't see my parents."

Looking at Guo Shan's appearance, Chu Tai seemed to see the couple who had saved him from the pot in the past.

"Carrying corpses is to return to their roots, but their souls have already returned to the underworld, so there is no need for you to carry them back."

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers and a little flame fell, burning the two bodies to ashes.

Afterwards, Chu Tai loosened the red rope a lot and asked Guo Shan to stand in the center of the golden lamps.

The obedient young man sat down in the golden lamp as Chu Tai requested, and Chu Tai began to give him instructions.

"I will help you sort out your magic power first. No matter how uncomfortable you are, you can't move."

After saying this, he raised the token and began to draw the magic power accumulated in the altar.

As one of the orthodox cultivation systems of the immortal way, the altar can be used to worship Daluo Tianzhen and seek immortal fruits. In the middle, it can connect to the water system and veins to create the prototype of a blessed land. At the bottom, it can build a spiritual realm and establish the foundation of ghost immortals.

Therefore, it is also called the Dharma Hall, the Altar, the Spirit Altar, the Mysterious Altar, etc. There are generally two origins of it.

One is the altar of inheritance, which is mostly passed down between father and son, grandfather and grandson, or some relatives of the same clan, to continuously accumulate magic power.

The second is to set up one’s own altar, which is mostly a master-apprentice system. That is, after learning from a master, one would look for a sacred place and set up one’s own altar.

Taoist Hong's altar is a heritage altar for building a spiritual realm. It is based on the golden lamp, and the phantom of the Nine-Directions Hell is the result of his family's inheritance from generation to generation.

Judging from the strength of the magic power, the magic power in this altar is about three hundred years.

Unfortunately, the inheritance was incomplete and the quality was low. After several generations of polishing, it had only reached the threshold of the sixth-grade true Qi. This was why it was powerless in front of Chu Tai.

But no matter how low the grade was, it was still much better than Guo Shan's condition. Plus the accumulation of magic power for three hundred years was enough for Chu Tai to purify the two kinds of eighth-grade impure qi in Guo Shan's body and mix them into a seventh-grade grave qi.

The most important thing is that the prototype of this altar is the Three Heavenly Primordial Lights Illuminating the Nine Hells Lamp Altar, which was originally an altar used to save the souls who fell into the Nine Hells.

Chu Tai now only needs to reverse it and slightly sublimate the true meaning of hell to help Guo Shan lay a more solid foundation.
