Chapter 69: The Evil Cultivator Sees the Shore
Chapter 69: The Evil Cultivator Sees the Shore
The corpses that were worshipping all around evaporated instantly. The thick death aura caused the temperature around to drop rapidly, making the surroundings extremely cold.
This chill is not simply coldness, but a dead silence that contains the breath of death, corruption, and decay.
There was also the stench of corpses and the pervasive smell of decay, which made Chu Tai couldn't help but frown.
The true Qi of Fu Xiyao in Nanyan Cave surged, turning into golden clouds and falling with enormous pressure.
"Stop it!"
Chu Tai pressed down with his five fingers, and his true energy turned into a giant hand half a meter wide that held down the Corpse King tightly.
Taoist Dachun suddenly jumped up and came to the side of the Corpse King. He rotated the magic umbrella in his hand, and rays of clear light hung down, constantly rolling up his deathly aura and capturing his body.
In response, streams of cold black air with a corpse stench emanated from the Corpse King.
It was relatively thin at the beginning, similar to black mist, but then it became thicker and thicker, like liquid, with a little green phosphorous fire inside, and it went towards the inside of the magic umbrella like a tide and wave under the suction.
Taoist Dachun hurriedly took back the magic weapon, but at that moment, black spots appeared on the surface of the magic umbrella, and small holes gradually appeared, as if it had been eaten by insects.
Without the assistance of Taoist Dachun, Chu Tai felt that the corpse kings under his command were struggling even more fiercely. While the Fu Xi Yao True Qi of Nanyan Cave was counteracting the qi of the corpses, it was also greatly draining Chu Tai's magic power.
"Guo Shan!"
Chu Tai shouted loudly and changed his hand gestures. A thin layer of frost appeared on the surface of the rolling vines. These were the 108 cold pine needles that Chu Tai had released earlier. They pinned down the vitality in the vines and imprisoned the changes in the vital energy inside.
Guo Shan leaped forward with his hands free and hit the corpse king's forehead with the ghost-torturing stick.
Sparks flew, talismans flickered, and most of the tumbling corpse qi was absorbed by Guo Shan, combining with the boiling blood qi in his body, and settled into the hell of fire, enriching his grave qi.
But Chu Tai could also see clearly that Guo Shan's body could only bear a limited amount of force. He stretched out the middle finger of his left hand, pinched his index finger on the back of the middle finger, pinched his thumb on the horizontal line of the middle finger, and placed his thumb and index finger against each other, with his ring finger and little finger bent in the palm of his hand.
The shadow of Wang Lingguan appeared in the Taiyi Changming Lamp. As Chu Tai suddenly clicked it, the shadow of the golden whip appeared, carrying the energy of fire and thunder and hitting the place where the corpse king's corpse energy gathered, which was the location of his dantian.
After suffering a severe blow, the Corpse King could no longer hold on. He opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of black smoke, in which a dark golden pearl was suspended. It spun around and emitted rays of enchanting light.
At the same time, a cold and gloomy air spread out from the pearl pill, making the surroundings even more weird and terrifying.
"Corpse Pill!"
When Taoist Dachun saw this scene, his eyes widened in disbelief.
But the next second, the Liuhe Circle flew out from Chu Tai's hand and trapped the corpse pill.
A circle of spiritual light rolled up, severing the connection between the two, and the corpse king's body suddenly began to shrink like a deflated balloon.
All the hair on his body had fallen off, and his skin, which had once been quite shiny, had rapidly aged as if it had experienced a hundred years. His two eyeballs had also begun to rot and flowed into the skull, which was left with only a layer of skin. He looked extremely terrifying.
Looking at the corpse pill that fell into Chu Tai's hands, Taoist Dachun stepped forward to observe it, feeling quite emotional.
"No wonder his corpse poison is so strong! This guy also practiced inner alchemy, and polished his corpse energy to be extremely pure! Fortunately, this guy has not yet completely cultivated it, otherwise we may not be his opponent."
"The vitality in this corpse pill is at most level six. It is only enhanced in toxicity through a special secret method. Moreover, it has definitely taken no more than three years to condense. Its essence, energy and spirit have not yet been combined. It is obviously not all that this guy has."
"Or rather, this inner elixir is a way out for him. He is thinking about the subsequent way out before the previous method has produced any results. It would be strange if he could achieve enlightenment with such a mentality."
As he spoke, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and summoned Su Chen Qing Mang, who flew back and landed in his hand.
He held the needle between his thumb and middle finger and shook it gently. The snow from the sky gathered and turned into an ice crystal lotus that bloomed on the tip of the needle. A broken soul was frozen in it. "Tell me, is the one you are working with the Heavenly Gate God?"
The soul in the ice crystal showed no reaction. Chu Tai waited for a moment and asked Guo Shan to release the remaining souls of the many corpses he had imprisoned before.
In an instant, thousands of ghosts wailed and surrounded Chu Tai, staring at the ice crystal lotus in his hand.
"If you don't want to tell me, then I'll have no choice but to let them take revenge."
As soon as these words were spoken, the ghosts all around began to howl, surrounding Chu Tai and trying to devour his soul.
The corpse king's incomplete soul did not dare to continue playing dumb, and trembled as he said, "Aren't you a true Xuanmen? Why are you acting like this?"
"My cultivation method is naturally the orthodox Xuanmen method, but that doesn't mean I will treat you the same way as the orthodox Xuanmen method. Although these residual souls have long lost consciousness, tearing your soul and devouring your power, they cannot make up for their past losses. But..."
The thumb and middle finger were loosened, and the lotus was spinning in front of Chu Tai. On the index finger, thumb and middle finger, the flames transformed from the Fu Nan Yan Cave's Fu Xi Yao Zhen Qi were jumping back and forth.
The three characteristics of "spirituality, purity and life" are manifested, and the simple illumination nourishes the remaining souls around, repairing their defects and allowing them to return to the underworld.
When Taoist Dachun saw this scene, he could not help but exclaim: "What a great way to save the dead soul and restore his body to its original state."
Chu Tai's expression froze slightly when he heard this. This method was created by him in order to save the infant spirits in the Liuyang Divine Infant Tower, but now he is not completely sure that he can rescue these children.
Under such circumstances, he was a little unsure of how to respond to Taoist Dachun's words. However, Taoist Dachun himself realized that the timing of his speech was wrong, so he immediately shut up and watched Chu Tai expel the flames that flowed around the corpse king's soul.
After calming down, Chu Tai looked at the soul of the Corpse King again.
"Your soul has collected a lot of Taiyin Yuanqi, and used corpse qi and death qi to build the foundation of the Yin Shen Dharma Body. I think it can withstand the processing. If combined with my true qi, the effect of saving these residual souls should be better. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Taoist Dachun swallowed his saliva, and his eyes changed when he looked at Chu Tai. He silently wondered whether he had offended the other party before.
The Corpse King's spirit also looked at Chu Tai in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that this was something said by a Xuanmen cultivator.
The flames began to burn his Dharma body, and the Corpse King's soul had to admit that what Chu Tai said was true.
"I say, I say, I don't know any Tianmen Divine Lord?"
"What's going on with the dark and misty qi of the Nine Springs?"
Chu Tai loosened his fingers a little, and the flames flew out to create more gaps. Seeing this, the Corpse King's soul responded immediately.
"Three years ago, a cultivator who practiced the Nine Springs Yin Jing Meng Bo Qi came to me and told me that my method of practice was wrong. On one hand, he asked me to collect evil energy, plague energy, epidemic energy, and disease energy, and on the other hand, he taught me the Yin Yuan Xuan Shuang Miao Dan method. I didn't expect..."
"The corpse pill you cultivated was restrained by the Nine Springs Yin Jing Meng Bo Qi. You are really smart. He dared to teach you, so you dared to cultivate it."
"My soul had already been corroded by corpse qi, yin qi, and death qi. I could not protect myself, so I had to do this."
"I see. Then do you know where he is going? What does he want to do?"
"He said that he had a senior brother who was practicing in Mangpan and wanted to cause trouble for him. He asked me to wait for his news and release the accumulated evil spirits, plague spirits, epidemic spirits, and disease spirits at the right time. Moreover, he also set up some formations here..."
The answer from the Corpse King's spirit made Chu Tai understand the whole story. He then set up a magic ban and gave it to Guo Shan.
"Send it to your Hell of Fire. After it is refined, your True Qi will be able to be upgraded from the original Qi of the Moving Corpses and Accumulating Earth to the Qi of the Nine Origins Tomb. It will also have the properties of imprisoning demons and refining evil spirits, which is more than what you originally imagined."
Upon hearing this, Guo Shan did as he was told. Taoist Dachun felt a little embarrassed and asked Chu Tai if what he did was not a good idea.
