Chapter 550: Chapter 279: More Reassured With Our Own People, the Formless Demon Corpse

Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised by this. The Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect enjoys doing these sneaky things, and as for spreading this news, Wen Jiu had no intention at all, especially after learning a mere fraction of the Hundred Floating Domains.

Even though a Golden Core is a formidable figure in its own area, within the Hundred Floating Domains, it’s still quite insignificant.

Spreading this kind of thing would be counterproductive, and Wen Jiu had no desire to be a saint in saving the world.

...

Half a year quickly passed.

During this time, Wen Jiu madly acquired Human Soul Pills and cultivated Black Demon Soul with Spirit Insects. The Law-Devouring Yin Insect finally reached the Tier Two Peak after spending four to five hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones, similar to the upgrade of the Five Ghosts. Although it didn’t enhance the Spirit Root, it did enhance the Spirit Body and smoothly elevated Wen Jiu’s Yin Sha True Spirit Body to Tier Two Peak.

As for the Human Soul Pills, there weren’t many acquired, but roughly over a thousand, which wasn’t too few.

Successfully pushed the experience bar of Black Demon Soul to nearly forty thousand.

[Black Demon Soul]

[Grade: Tier Three Top Grade]

[Status: Initial Stage (39652/50000) —— Next Stage: Mature Stage]

Under normal cultivation, it takes less than two and a half years, but with Human Soul Pills, only around one thousand one hundred pills are needed. If there are no accidents, and Human Soul Pills are continuously acquired through Wusheng’s hands, it can reach maturity in about half a year.

Regarding Spirit Stone consumption:

Frankly speaking, Wen Jiu’s Spirit Stones have not decreased but increased. Over the past half year, he spent over a million Middle-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to over ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones, yet his monthly income can reach around twenty million, more or less.

On this day, the Formless Demon Corpse finally completed its mutation successfully.

After the mutation, the Formless Demon Corpse directly reached Tier Three Lower Realm. Even though it inherited only seventy percent of Jue Ying’s strength, it is still far stronger than ordinary Golden Core cultivators. Wen Jiu reckoned it’s much stronger than Pei Wuxing.

[Formless Demon Corpse (Tier Three Lower Realm 70000/100000)]

[Skills: Formless Demon Body (Non-upgradable), Blood Demon White Bone Body (Tier Three Lower Realm 0/150000)]

[Formless Demon Body: Good at concealment, capable of transforming both tangible and intangible objects, while mimicking their most authentic breath and appearance. Concealment ability enhances with realm elevation, currently can block the divine sense probing of Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator at most.]

[Blood Demon White Bone Body: Mutated from millennium enduring demon corpse, is the bone of True Demon, possesses extremely strong capacity to accommodate Demonic Qi, also can fuse and refine any Demonic Qi, without suffering backlash. PS: Carrying capacity has a limit; can’t refine existence surpassing Formless Demon Corpse by two sub-levels, but remains unaffected by backlash, only when surpassing one major level would backlash occur.]

"This Formless Demon Body is truly powerful, it can even mimic breaths." At the time, Wen Jiu attempted to make the Formless Demon Corpse mimic his own image, except for the Dao Foundation and True Spirit Root which couldn’t be mimicked, everything else was identical.

Carefully explored it over a few times, and after transforming into others multiple times, Wen Jiu couldn’t help feeling, "Originally, I just wanted to use the Formless Demon Corpse to create a new identity for assassination purposes, but didn’t expect this Formless Demon Corpse to be much more useful than I imagined. The East Spring Undying Bone possesses Ghost Concealment Three Rivers, but transforming back and forth, ultimately it’s just a corpse ghost in the end."

But now, both identities are already exposed in the West Mountain Floating Domain, using the East Spring Undying Bone to create another would require changing location, to someplace unknown. However, with the Formless Demon Corpse, I can create unlimited identities. Disguised as Ghost Cultivator, Corpse Cultivator, or even any existence, it cannot use magic, yet remains flawless under the divine sense at East Spring Undying Bone.

Capable of resisting the probing of the East Spring Undying Bone means it can resist the probing of late-stage Golden Core cultivators. Even though there’s risk of exposure, enhancing it to Tier Three Middle Grade would completely solve this issue."

As a sneaky person, the more identities he possesses, the safer he feels. Because only then can he prevent calamity from befalling his true self.

Otherwise, whether it’s the Undying Bone, the External Golden Core, or the Five Ghosts, as long as the affiliation is known, his life would be at risk.

Next, Wen Jiu’s attention shifted to another piece of information — the Blood Demon White Bone Body, which surprised him quite a bit. Previously, he stitched it with demon cultivator remains, merely to enhance the strength of the Formless Demon Corpse’s body, yet unexpected the mutation led directly into Tier Three.

Entering Tier Three is a small matter, the mutation surprisingly granted the ability to be compatible with all Demonic Qi.

"Facing a plethora of sinister and deceitful Demonic Qi, having this Blood Demon White Bone Body greatly enhances survival capability." Wen Jiu began to imagine, "In future encounters with uncertain, tainted demonic things could be directly let the Formless Demon Corpse to perform devour using Blood Demon White Bone Body."

Even though the Blood Demon White Bone Body has a limit to endure, even if it cannot devour, it never suffers backlash. So, before the Corpse Fate Technique is perfected, leveraging the Formless Demon Corpse can bypass many risks. As for existence surpassing by one major realm, even if harmed the Formless Demon Corpse it matters little, it can be restored, the Formless Demon Corpse is a corpse, not a human, it doesn’t matter."

Looking at the panel of Formless Demon Corpse, Wen Jiu felt somewhat joyous and satisfied, prompting the thought of nurturing the Formless Demon Corpse further arose.

As long as there isn’t a more extraordinary existence than the Formless Demon Corpse, the fourth corpse would remain the Formless Demon Corpse.

Putting away his joy, Wen Jiu again transformed the Formless Demon Corpse into the likeness of Pei Wuxing, East Spring undertakes to examine it with divine sense.

It can only be described as having identical breath.

If engaged in a sparring match, no one would be able to discern the authenticity of Pei Wuxing, even the breath and pressure are identical.

"Good stuff, good stuff, I seem to know how to reap the last wave before leaving the Little Demon Realm."

Wen Jiu flashed a bold idea.

...

On the third day after the Formless Demon Corpse’s successful mutation, Wen Jiu routinely tended to the Blood Corpse Mushroom, but received unexpected news from Li Yan. After having arranged Ye Chen and others before, Wen Jiu hadn’t contacted Li Yan afterward.

Nor had he ever let Li Yan gather any information, merely had the Five Ghosts complete soul control, fully turning him into one of his own.

Originally, Wen Jiu didn’t hold much hope for Li Yan to fetch any useful information, but this time a somewhat surprising piece of news was delivered. Over this half year, disciples of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks continuously entered the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land of Celestial Sword Peak to cultivate; starting with ten thousand per month, after two months, reaching twenty to thirty thousand per month.

Meanwhile, Celestial Sword Peak was sealed for the past half year, barring entry except for Grotto Heaven Blessed Land cultivators and Golden Core Ancestors. Li Yan speculated that Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks was preparing for a counterattack against the Three Life Gates.

The reason he leaked the news now was because he is among the batch three days later.

Once inside, it’s uncertain when he can come out.

Upon hearing this news, Wen Jiu immediately furrowed his brow because he had already divined that Celestial Sword Peak doesn’t contain other Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands, there’s only possibly one of the three remaining Grotto Heavens of the Blood Demon Sect.

Although the Corpse Fate Technique couldn’t divine the specific situation, if that particular Grotto Heaven is indeed a Cultivation Blessed Land, why seal Celestial Sword Peak, and why it hasn’t been opened before? Moreover, Zang Qianjian seems to have disappeared without a trace.

"Could they have discovered something?" Wen Jiu fell into contemplation, without the Formless Demon Corpse, he wouldn’t entertain any thoughts.

But with the Formless Demon Corpse.

Wen Jiu truly wanted to see what was going on.

Even if nothing can be done, given the capabilities of the Formless Demon Corpse, blending in to enter the Grotto Heaven, or slipping out shouldn’t be a problem. Simultaneously, Wen Jiu also wanted to see whether the Blood Demon Sect’s legacy truly connects with True Spirit Root.

If it’s true, under the circumstances with the Formless Demon Corpse, Wen Jiu genuinely didn’t want to miss the chance.

"Since that’s the case, might as well sneak in to see what’s happening." After forming this thought, Wen Jiu immediately commanded the East Spring Undying Bone and Formless Demon Corpse to leave Lengxi Mountain. Formless Demon Corpse infiltrated inside; East Spring Undying Bone kept watch outside Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, providing protection to Formless Demon Corpse.

Upon reaching Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks surroundings, Wen Jiu controlled Formless Demon Corpse to transform into a Mid-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivator, then enhance it with Hidden God Technique for double insurance, achieving a level of perfection such that even a Mid-stage Golden Core cultivator couldn’t spot any flaw.

After completing the disguise, Wen Jiu found Li Yan to acquire a disciple identity for entering the Grotto Heaven. When gathering with Li Yan at the square the next day, what he saw was nothing but joy on the faces of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks disciples, mostly Qi Cultivation cultivators, with only a handful of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Not a single vassal there?"

Wen Jiu couldn’t help being curious, could there truly be some opportunity within?

In Wen Jiu’s perspective, regardless of how ruthless Yi Nian Guan Shan is, as the sect ancestor, he shouldn’t be devastating his own people.

If devastation occurs, it should be directed at the vassals.

[Today, and tomorrow are guaranteed updates.

Only the day after tomorrow there can be two updates again.
