Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Anning naturally couldn't understand how Corpse Bloom could be used for cultivation, especially since they weren't cultivating dark arts or possessed special cultivation techniques.

"Come over, sit down, and extend your hand."

Back in the peach forest where he had meditated and healed yesterday, Jun Wuxie sat cross-legged in the open space in the middle of the forest.

Hearing this, Xu Yan'ning quickly sat down in front of him, extending a palm to meet his.

Anning, filled with doubt, also sat down.

Jun Wuxie, not wanting her to receive the energy of the Corpse Bloom with unease, said, "For others, many energies in this world are unusable, but for me, all energies are usable. I can even directly refine human cultivators to break through realms, because I can purify everything detrimental to cultivation, even karma. So, you don't need to think so much, just obediently accept the energy for cultivation, understand?"

"Under... understood..."

Anning stared blankly at him, his words echoing repeatedly in her mind, and she felt incredibly shocked.

All energies in the world are usable?

What kind of method is this?

Since ancient times, no one has ever been heard to possess such ability, capable of fusing all kinds of elemental energies, and even being able to devour human cultivators and purify those terrifying karmic consequences!

Some energies in this world are inherently two extremes, with great conflicts and repulsion, like fire and water being incompatible; some energies have special properties that can have a great negative impact on cultivators, even suppressing and corroding the power of life, like this Corpse Bloom. Directly refining it for cultivation would corrode one's life, leading to death.

But these were not problems for the man in front of her!

She stared blankly at him, unable to help but wonder, how many more astonishing secrets did this seemingly omnipotent, god-like man possess?

Since meeting him, her world and her understanding had been constantly overturned and refreshed.

"What are you still thinking about? Concentrate and calm your mind, prepare to receive the energy."

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but remind her, Anning's heart was beating fast, and her mind was fluctuating violently, he didn't know what she was thinking.

Anning's face turned red, and she quickly composed herself, her heartbeat gradually slowing down, and her mind calming down as well.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie opened his Naring, transferring all the Corpse Bloom he had obtained into his Martial Dao Heaven.

He didn't collect all the Corpse Bloom, because the exact connection between the Corpse Bloom and the coffin was still unclear.

He didn't know what would happen if he collected all the Corpse Bloom.

At the time, when he saw the roots of the Corpse Bloom connected to the coffin, his first reaction was to give up picking them and prepare to investigate the situation first.

As a result, the roots of the Corpse Bloom he pulled up directly broke, leading to the changes in the coffin and drawing out the Ancient Demon Centipede.

Since it was already like this, he naturally wouldn't put the Corpse Bloom he had obtained back. The roots were broken, and giving up was meaningless, so he put them into his Naring.

As for the remaining Corpse Bloom, he did not continue to pick them, for fear of attracting something even more difficult to deal with.

There were a total of nine Corpse Bloom in the Heaven, each with flowers as large as washbasins, petals as large as palms, and of similar thickness, dark red in color, containing pure and shocking energy.

Jun Wuxie carefully sensed them, and he was certain that the energy purity of these Corpse Bloom, although not as good as the Ruyi Sacred Spiritual Essence, the difference wouldn't be too great.

They belonged to the same type of energy, one that didn't require cultivators to refine much, could complete energy conversion in a very short time, and could help cultivators break through realms quickly.

"That's not right, although Corpse Bloom is said to contain pure energy and is a rare treasure, it should be far inferior to Ruyi Sacred Spiritual Essence, but these Corpse Bloom are not like that. The Corpse Bloom Essence energy contained within is too pure..."

Jun Wuxie was now carefully observing the Corpse Bloom and felt very shocked.

In the process of devouring the Corpse Bloom and purifying the power of decay within, he continuously studied and observed, and finally got the answer.

These Corpse Bloom were not naturally able to transform and become so pure. The reason they were like this was because their energy was constantly purified due to special reasons.

The stone platform in the middle of the abyss outside involuntarily appeared in his mind.

It seemed that there were still secrets hidden there that he hadn't discovered. After all, the time he spent there was too short, and many problems hadn't had time to be discovered.

Why were the roots of the Corpse Bloom connected to the metal coffin, like blood vessels?

All the Corpse Bloom were like this.

According to the information recorded in the Records of Strange Flowers and Rare Herbs, the roots of the Corpse Bloom were not that long, only about two feet long under normal circumstances.

But these Corpse Bloom had roots that were hundreds of meters long.

"Could it be that they are transporting something to the metal coffin through their roots?"

Jun Wuxie thought to himself, if this were true, then what was being transported, the Aura of Corpse, or the Pure Yin Aura?

"Below the abyss are the Other Shore Flowers. Why are the Other Shore Flowers here? Is the abyss not just a simple abyss, but also has other secrets? If the bottom is a Yin Gathering Ground, then it makes sense for the Corpse Bloom to absorb Yin energy and transport it to the coffin..."

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Adding to the fact that the coffin had trembled, could it be that the person inside was not dead, but had sealed themselves in this way and was sleeping in the coffin.

If this was the case, it meant that the person in the coffin had suffered serious injuries and their own situation was not good, otherwise, they wouldn't have gathered Yin energy in this way.

But it was not easy to determine whether this speculation was the truth.

Because there was more than one coffin there, there was also a hanging coffin, hanging above the female coffin below. When the coffin below trembled because the Corpse Bloom was pulled up, an abnormality occurred in the hanging coffin. Many Dao symbols flew out from the coffin.

After that, the coffin below calmed down, and the Ancient Demon Centipede lurking under the abyss woke up and rushed up, launching an attack on them.

What was difficult to determine now was what role the hanging coffin was playing.

Was it guarding the coffin below, or was it suppressing the coffin below?

Jun Wuxie thought repeatedly, guarding or suppressing, the chances were half and half. What exactly was it? Perhaps he would have to wait until he went out to explore the truth to find out.

While he was thinking, of course, he was not idle. He had been continuously devouring the Corpse Bloom, purifying its power of decay, and continuously injecting the purified pure essence into Xu Yan'ning and Anning's bodies through his hands.

The speed at which they accepted the essence was far behind Jun Wuxie's devouring and purification speed. There was no way to compare. They couldn't even reach one-tenth of his speed.

Therefore, nine-tenths of the essence was transformed into life blood essence by his Primordial Gold Body Art, fused into his body, tempering his flesh, deriving blood energy, and strengthening the golden starry sea.

At the same time, he was also continuously devouring and fusing dark energy, strengthening the dark starry sea, and always maintaining the balanced state of the Taiji starry sea.

Looking at his golden and ink-colored starry sea rapidly growing, and feeling the rapid progress of his realm, Jun Wuxie, in addition to being in a happy mood, suddenly had an idea.

Looking at his Taiji starry sea, he thought of the Bagua stone plate in the middle of the closed corridor outside before.

"The Taiji starry sea may be a bit too general or rough. If I refine the starry sea into a Taiji Bagua, with the infinite changes of the eight phases and Bagua derived from the Taiji Yin and Yang, this may be of some help to my future cultivation of the Eight Nine Mysterious Arts. When the starry sea is running, it will not only have the Way of Taiji, but also be able to derive the Eight Phases World. The power increase should be stronger than the current Taiji starry sea..."

Thinking of this, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but want to try, but he didn't have the mind to do these things now.

To refine the starry sea into a Taiji Bagua starry sea, he must devote himself wholeheartedly and temporarily stop breaking through realms.

He didn't have the time to do these things now.

Being in the ancient tomb, everything was uncertain. Situations could happen in this ancient tomb at any time. Naturally, it was best to explore the secrets of the ancient tomb as soon as possible. The Taiji Bagua starry sea could be slowly cultivated after going out.

He restrained the impulse and desire in his heart, calmed down, and continued to devour the Corpse Bloom.

On the third day, Jun Wuxie's body burst out with dazzling golden light, every pore was gushing with golden rays, and the momentum in his body was amazing, like a roaring mountain torrent.

Almost at the same time, Xu Yan'ning and Anning had changes on their bodies, and a surging true energy rushed out of their bodies.

Especially Xu Yan'ning, her true energy was boiling extremely fiercely, and the whole person was glowing. Even a phantom of a woman appeared behind her, with blurred facial features, but with a dignified demeanor, like a female emperor overlooking the common people.

Her aura instantly became different, and she stepped into a brand new realm.

Jun Wuxie was very gratified that Yan'ning finally broke through the shackles of the Half-Step Great Saint and stepped into the Great Saint Realm.

Anning's realm had also broken through, reaching the early stage of the Saint King Realm Great Celestial Position.

Their two realms were higher than his.

After all, Anning herself was from the Upper Realm and was also a princess. She was born with abundant resources, and her natural growth intensity was also extremely outstanding. Her comprehension and other talents were very strong.

Xu Yan'ning had come to the Upper Realm two or three years earlier than him. She had been cultivating in this world for a longer time, and she had entered the Seven Killing Building and was in the land of Hanzhou, so the resources she could obtain would not be bad either.

Now, he had broken through to the late stage of the Saint King Realm Lesser Celestial Position!

Only two short days!

The effect of the Corpse Bloom was not like the Ruyi Sacred Spiritual Essence, which could allow cultivators to break through realms in an instant, but this time was also extremely short.

For cultivators in the Saint King Realm, two days was really too short.

Such a speed of breaking through realms could be called heaven-defying. Except for the golden age of each epoch, in other times, I am afraid that there were not many people in the world who could do it since ancient times.

After breaking through the realm, Jun Wuxie continued to devour the Corpse Bloom.

There were still many Corpse Bloom in the Heaven.

Another three days passed, and they broke through again.

This time, it took a little longer than the last. As their realms increased, the amount of Yuan Qi required for breakthroughs also increased.

Jun Wuxie's realm advanced from the late stage of the Saint King Small Heavenly realm to the peak of the Small Heavenly realm.

He especially enjoyed this feeling of rapidly increasing strength. It was particularly comfortable and reassuring, every cell in his body excited, and every inch of his flesh filled with power!

Day after day.

At intervals, their realms would improve, and the number of Corpse-Eating Flowers was rapidly decreasing.

Outside the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, the ancient demon centipede, its body a hundred meters long, coiled around the bluestone, its blood-red eyes fixed on it.

It knew that this was not a bluestone, but a special artifact, and those humans were hiding inside.

Could they hide in there forever?

It was very confident, a hint of human-like cruelty even flashing in its eyes.

It was in no hurry, simply waiting for those humans to come out and die.

When that time came, it would tear those humans to shreds!

It had sealed itself and slumbered for countless years, guarding this place, and had forgotten the passage of time.

Today, it was finally awakened, but due to its long sleep, even while sealed, the energy within its body was slowly dissipating, making it very weak, its strength less than one ten-thousandth of what it once was.

Otherwise, those humans would have been killed by it long ago. How could they have had the chance to hide in that mysterious artifact?

It had been very angry before. Several Saint King realm human ants had actually managed to temporarily save their lives in its presence. For it, as the Ancient Demon Centipede King, this was a great humiliation!

It occasionally turned its head to look at the suspended coffin above the abyss, a look of astonishment and apprehension in its eyes.

There was an existence within that it feared, it just didn't know if it was completely dead.

If it was completely dead, then it would be free. It only needed to kill those humans, then it could leave this place, regain its freedom, and recover to its peak state in a few months.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.

Inside the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, Jun Wuxie, Xu Yanning, and Anning were no longer in their initial palm-to-palm position.

Jun Wuxie was still sitting cross-legged in place, his eyes closed, his whole person very quiet, without the slightest fluctuation of aura on his body, as if he had entered a state of hibernation.

Xu Yanning and Anning were sitting cross-legged three meters away in front of him, looking at him with hazy eyes, occasionally gleaming with brilliance.

In these twenty-odd days, their realms had exploded in growth, so fast that they still found it hard to believe, as if they were in a dream, feeling very unreal.

Xu Yanning's realm had broken through from the initial Half-Step Great Saint realm to the peak of the Great Saint Small Heavenly realm, a full five realms.

Anning was the same, breaking through from the Saint King Middle Heavenly realm to the Great Heavenly realm!

They had never imagined that their realms would break through in such a terrifying way, thinking about it was like Arabian Nights!

It was all thanks to this man in front of them. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have dared to dream of cultivating at such a speed.

At this time, Jun Wuxie was forging and tempering himself in the Weapon Tomb of the Eternal Divine Palace.

These days, his realm had broken through too quickly. Because he had been constantly purifying the energy of the Corpse-Eating Flowers, he had not taken the time to temper his body with the Weapon Tomb.

This tempering took a full day to reach the limit of his physical body.

"Saint King Middle Heavenly Realm Intermediate Stage!"

Jun Wuxie's soul returned to his body, he opened his eyes and stretched his muscles, his whole body crackling, his arms slightly vibrating, and the space followed with tremors.

This feeling was indescribable. Compared to before and after devouring the Corpse-Eating Flowers to cultivate, the difference was too great. The improvement of five small realms was a thirty-two-fold difference in power, and the strength of his physical body had improved by an unknown amount!
