Chapter 274 Corpse King, Corpse Raising Ground
When a flying corpse reaches the seventh level, it can no longer be called a flying corpse. In the Tianwu Realm, it is generally called "undissolved bones".

The body is so strong that it has remained intact after tens of millions of years. A corpse of this level cannot be killed by ordinary means except by heavenly thunder.

This realm has reached the pinnacle of ordinary Yin corpses. If you go one step further, you will be out of the category of Yin corpses and can be called a corpse king.

This is no different from being an immortal cultivator. Stepping into the door of true immortality is a qualitative change.

Every time a True Immortal goes through a catastrophe, there is a qualitative change, and the combat power will increase by dozens of times.

Level eight is an extremely terrifying realm. The gap in combat power between each other is as huge as the abyss of heaven and earth.

Just like the Martial Saint in the Martial Hall, Pei Hengxing, whom Chu Zheng met in the battlefield outside the domain last time.

Being at the eighth level as well, he attacked one by one with one punch, and with three moves he killed three most powerful creatures comparable to high-level True Immortals. This was enough to prove the gap.

This is a realm that can create miracles, able to transcend the shackles of one world and establish connection with the origin of the universe.

All the Taoist sects in the universe will undergo an extreme transformation when they reach the eighth level. The reason why many Taoist sects gradually die out and decline is that the methods leading to the eighth level and above are lost, and then they begin to wither.

After entering the seventh level, Chu Zheng became more confident. He no longer had to hide from place to place. He even began to intentionally approach some dangerous places with strong yin energy.

The heavier the Yin Qi is, the more likely it is that evil spirits are living there, and the greater the probability of encountering the Corpse King.

After entering the second mountain pass, the Yin Qi between heaven and earth has obviously increased by nearly times, and the strength of the evil spirits encountered is also increasing.

However, relatively speaking, it does not pose much of a threat to the current Chu government.

After absorbing a lot of soul power, his spiritual power was already strong enough to activate the seventh-level treasure. With the Soul-Fixing Bell, ordinary evil spirits could not hurt him.

As for the Yin Corpses, Chu Zheng has not seen any that can match him. The strongest one is only at level six, with purple hair and no trace of golden light.

The result is naturally self-evident, all of it turned into nourishment for the Chu government.

The Yin energy between heaven and earth rose, and the sunlight became dimmer, as if sinking into the night. Above the dark curtain, the moonlight was bright, but the stars were invisible.

After entering the second mountain pass, Chu Zheng clearly felt that his cultivation progress had accelerated by more than one level. Apart from that, he could no longer see any living creatures.

On the ground, there are patches of short black grass growing. This thing is called "Xuanyin Grass", a kind of Yin-cold spiritual grass. It is an indispensable auxiliary material for alchemy. Within the second mountain pass, it forms a grassland.

Such a large area of ​​Xuanyin grass is an inestimable wealth, but no one dares to come here to pick it.

In addition to the Xuanyin grass, there are also a lot of Yin-attributed precious medicines growing here, which are priceless and have been preserved intact today.

Chu Zheng had no danger along the way and picked a lot of magical herbs, having a rich harvest.

Although he cannot use these elixirs for the time being, he can follow the example of what he did in the Dongyuan Realm and reserve a batch of cultivation resources and send them to his main body.

This is an extremely long process, but consumables like cultivation resources are never too much. There is still a long way to go and they will always be useful.

After going more than 100,000 miles deep into the second mountain pass, Chu Zheng discovered many huge skeletons, their flesh and blood had dried up, but they were still moving around.

These are special creatures that were formed after the ancient alien species died and their skeletons were revived. Some of them are similar to corpses, and a considerable number of them still retain the magical powers they had in life and are quite powerful.

Groups of skeletons were scattered on the Xuanyin grassland, with their heads down chewing the Xuanyin grass.

The Xuanyin grass was crushed by teeth, and then returned to the earth through the cracks in the bones, turning into nutrients.

They do not need to replenish energy by eating. This behavior is a remnant of some habits from previous life.

Chu Zheng tried to get close to these skeletons, but was surprised to find that these skeletons all ignored him. Even if he intended to provoke them, they did not react at all, as if they had no aggression at all.

These bones contain extremely strong Yin Qi. Chu Zheng originally wanted to try to see if he could absorb it and use it for himself, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give up this plan for the time being.

He knew very little information about the second mountain pass. If these alien skeletons were intentionally kept in captivity by some special being, touching them rashly might cause some trouble.

As the distance got deeper, the sky became darker and the sun in the sky was completely obscured by the Yin Qi.

Chu Zheng walked forward and stopped in front of a mountain range.

The pitch-black mountain range was shaped like a crouching tiger with a hidden murderous intent. A crack stretching for tens of thousands of miles cut it in half.

After a quick glance, Chu Zheng saw some clues. It was cut in half by a casual sword. An unknown amount of time had passed, but the sword energy was still lingering. The breeze blowing on his face was like a knife cutting his face.

Chu Zheng walked around the mountain range and confirmed that there were no special dangers remaining before he stepped into the crack.

After such powerful creatures fought here, there must be some traces left, such as fragments of war weapons.

After entering the valley bottom, Chu Zheng began to search with his divine sense, and after half an hour, he found a mutilated human skeleton.

The skeleton had all the limbs intact except for the head, so it must have been chopped off by someone.

The corpse was wrapped in an incomplete piece of light blue silk cloth. After countless years, there were still residual energy fluctuations on the bones, just like the incomplete bone that Chu Zheng first encountered on the ancient battlefield.

Chu Zheng opened his spiritual eyes and looked carefully for a moment, discovering a lot of information.

This skeleton is not human, but belongs to the Frost Moon Clan, a group of people who are naturally close to the Moon Star. This kind of natural environment inside the tomb also has many benefits for the Frost Moon Clan.

This corpse had died not too long ago, only about 400,000 years ago, and his cultivation was at the eighth level, seventh stage, which was the same realm as the Dongsheng Demon Immortal who had ambushed him outside the Cangyun Realm.

Such an existence was brighter than the scorching sun in the sky, but it died silently here and was beheaded.

Chu Zheng's gaze slowly swept across the entire corpse, finally stopping on the layer of light blue silk cloth wrapped around the corpse.

[Frost Flower Heavenly Brocade (Level 0/Incomplete): A top-grade holy artifact, the most precious treasure of the Frost Moon Clan. It has been infected by Yin Qi and has undergone a mutation. It can greatly enhance the combat power of Yin creatures. It can be repaired (2000/)]

This is a very rare treasure. It has been repaired two thousand times, which is absolutely top-notch among the eighth-level treasures.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Chu Zheng's eyes. This skeleton should be able to provide a lot of original energy. It can be said that he had a fruitful harvest.

With this Frost Flower Sky Brocade protecting him, when his cultivation level is higher, he will not be doomed to die when facing an eighth-level existence.

Chu Zheng squatted down, put away the Frost Flower Tianjin first, and was about to collect the corpse. At that moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind.

This corpse has been dead for only over 400,000 years, and the one who killed him might have been the evil spirit in the second mountain pass.

If that unknown evil spirit is nearby...

Thinking of this, Chu Zheng felt a sudden chill in his heart. He subconsciously looked around and searched aimlessly.

The result was naturally nothing. After a moment, Chu Zheng opened his mind, always alert to the movements around him, and raised his hand to collect the bones. The moment the bones disappeared, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the valley. Chu Zheng felt a slight chill on his back, and a dark shadow seemed to appear behind him. He paused slightly, and his nerves suddenly tensed.

The next moment, he turned back suddenly, a red light flashed in his eyes, and all the strength in his body was ready to go.

However, there was nothing behind him, and his divine sense did not detect anything unusual.

This place is unusual and somewhat evil.

Although it was a false alarm, Chu Zheng still did not dare to relax at all and turned around to leave.

The moment he turned his head, Chu Zheng's body suddenly stiffened, his pupils were bloodshot, and he subconsciously clenched his teeth.

A figure stood less than three feet to his side, dressed in black and carrying a sword.

The moment he saw this figure, Chu Zheng's heart, which had stopped beating long ago, was almost stimulated to start beating again, and his mood suddenly sank.

This person was standing there, but Chu Zheng still could not sense his existence in his mind, as if he was not in the same space with him at all.

A light flashed in Chu Zheng's pupils, and his spiritual eyes opened. Then a trace of horror flashed involuntarily in his eyes.

After opening the spiritual eyes, I still found nothing. This is the first time this has happened.

Even though he was a ninth-rank immortal king, he could still see some information, but his spiritual eyes were no longer effective.

Before Chu Zheng could think about it, ripples appeared in the void. The man in black took a step forward, as if tearing open a layer of space barrier, and walked in front of Chu Zheng.

It was only at this moment that Chu Zheng's mind sensed the existence of this person, and his spiritual eyes quickly responded:

[Sword Twelve (Eighth Level): The eighth level of cultivation is complete, the body is spiritual and holy, and is about to become a great holy spirit. When he died, twelve divine swords were inserted into his body. Infected by the sword energy, a strange change occurred during the corpse transformation process, and the sword intent has reached the peak. ]

Looking at the information sent by the spiritual eye, Chu Zheng calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he didn't notice it just now was because he was in another space. Fortunately, there was no problem with his spiritual eyes.

Without turning bones into flesh, one goes one step further and enters the eighth stage, where the body becomes holy and can be called a Holy Spirit, a completely new type of creature completely different from a corpse.

The eighth level of perfection is comparable to the immortal celestial monarch, a supreme true immortal who has passed through nine tribulations and can flatten a star field with ease.

With Chu Zheng's current strength, even a slightly sharp gaze in front of such an existence would be unbearable.

In fact, if it weren’t for the information given by the spiritual eye, Chu Zheng would hardly dare to believe that the person in front of him was evolved from a Yin corpse.

Except for the fact that his face was a little blue, Sword Twelve was almost no different from a normal person.

"senior."

After coming to his senses, Chu Zheng bowed without any hesitation.

Jian Twelve looked Chu Zheng up and down, nodded slightly, with a hint of recognition in his eyes:
"In the past two hundred thousand years, you are the first one to survive the heavenly tribulation. You carry the aura of another world. You are not a corpse born in this world. Where did you come from?"

Jian Twelve's sharp eyesight was somewhat beyond Chu Zheng's expectations.

After a little consideration, he told his story half-truthfully.

He concealed the speed of his own cultivation and pushed back what happened between him and the Gu family to thousands of years ago.

The reason for coming to the tomb was to improve his own cultivation. He had luckily survived a heavenly calamity not long ago.

"It's not easy to cultivate to this level alone."

Jian Twelve whispered, "My name is Jian Twelve. I have cut off my past and given myself this name. It is a blessing for you to see me today."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a phantom appeared in his palm. It was a miniature of the entire tomb, like a peak with mountains rising one after another, hovering under the sun and the moon.

The next moment, his palm turned over, the mountain turned upside down, and the sun and the moon turned upside down.

Chu Zheng's eyes moved as he understood what Jian Twelve meant. The structure of the entire tomb looked like a mountain, but in fact it was hanging upside down in the sky, shaped like a funnel.

The core area at the bottom is the bottom of the entire world. All the blood and yin energy in the entire tomb are gathering there.

"The one buried here is a Taoist master who has been planning for thousands of years and is waiting for the time of revival."

Jian Twelve said in a deep voice: "Being able to survive the heavenly tribulation proves that you have something extraordinary. Follow me and practice in the future. When the Taoist Master revives and enters the realm of eternal mythology, you will also be able to get a great opportunity."

The eternal myth connects ancient and modern times, and there are legends about it in every era. It is stronger than the Golden Immortal and second only to the Taoist ancestors of all parties.

"Thank you for your support, Senior. If I really get the opportunity passed down by the Taoist Master in the future, I will repay you for your kindness."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng bowed repeatedly, as if he was infected by his words, his eyes were as firm as iron.

He needs resources, and he finally meets a suitable sponsor, so it wouldn't hurt to cooperate with him.

Jian Twelve has lived for so long, he must have some insights into the path of cultivation, and I should be able to learn something from him.

As for what the owner of the tomb did, or what secret tricks he left behind, it has nothing to do with Chu Zheng at all.

He just wanted to improve his skills as quickly as possible, accumulate experience as a restorer, and then go to the center of the Tianwu Realm to see with his own eyes the Tianwutong tree that had crossed the boundary.

It is said that there is a passage leading to the universe there, which is an expectation he hides deep in his heart.

He has always been interested in the secrets within the universe. The Yin-Yang Divine Infant of his original body was finally shaped by referring to the relationship between the universe and the universe.

By the way, Chu Zheng also wanted to find out more about the Taoist Temple from Jian Twelve.

The Taoist master mentioned by Jian Twelve is extraordinary. He has been planning for tens of millions of years. This level of patience is simply beyond the reach of ordinary creatures.

It was not until this moment that Chu Zheng finally understood why such a large tomb, famous throughout the world, was not of interest to those beings who had stepped above the ninth level.

I'm afraid they had already figured out that this was a place for raising corpses, so they were unwilling to set foot here.

Waking up the Taoist master prematurely and destroying his accumulation of millions of years would be tantamount to creating a life-and-death feud. No one would be willing to provoke such a powerful enemy for no reason.

The most important thing is that, except for the Taoist master, there are no other treasures in this tomb that can catch the eye of the strongest.
