Chapter 79: Corpse Yin Sect (Part 3)

"I cannot leave this place. I beg you, little friend, to make a trip to the Corpse Yin Sect and find my Senior Brother Ye Zizai to come and save me." Wu Yu's face revealed a look of supplication, and he bowed repeatedly.

Wang Lin remained calm and asked, "Do you have a method for me to avoid the Corpse Puppet and leave this place?"

Wu Yu nodded quickly and said with a sincere expression, "By risking my last bit of Nascent Soul Qi, I can use a Secret Technique to open a Teleportation Formation for you that leads to the Corpse Yin Sect. You will be able to arrive directly at the Corpse Yin Sect headquarters."

Wang Lin stared at him and said with a faint, ambiguous smile, "Oh? Since you can open the Teleportation Formation, why don't you go back yourself?"

Wu Yu sighed and said, "The Corpse Puppet cannot leave me for more than a hundred li, and neither can I. If the distance between us exceeds a hundred li, he will die immediately. If I still had my Physical Body, I would suffer great damage to my mind, but now that I am in the form of a Nascent Soul, the outcome would be the dissipation of my Nascent Soul. I do not want to die, and unless absolutely necessary, I certainly do not want to perish together with the Corpse Puppet."

At this moment, the frequency of the statue's tremors grew more intense, showing signs that it could no longer hold on. Wu Yu saw that Wang Lin remained expressionless, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I, Wu Yu, swear by my Nascent Soul. If there is even the slightest falsehood in what I have told you, little friend, I will surely be devoured by the Corpse Puppet. Little friend, please help this old man once. I can give you A'dai. The nine paper talismans on him existed from the moment I found him and possess unfathomable power."

"Additionally, I noticed that your spiritual energy leans towards the yin cold attribute. The Cultivation Technique of my Corpse Yin Sect also happens to be of the yin cold attribute. Since you were able to come to this desolate forest, you must be Cultivating by borrowing the yin cold qi of this place. The yin cold qi in these ruins belongs to the 'Yellow Yin' grade among the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow grades. If you go to the Corpse Yin Sect, it will be of great benefit to you, because there is a place for secluded cultivation within the Corpse Yin Sect that contains 'Earth Yin' quality yin cold qi."

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Since the Corpse Yin Sect headquarters has Earth Yin quality yin cold qi, why did you have to come here to make a Breakthrough?"

Wu Yu looked deeply at Wang Lin. In his eyes, this young man had an extremely cautious personality; no matter what he said, the other party remained calm and unhurried.

Hearing Wang Lin's question, he smiled bitterly and said, "Little friend, I have already sworn by my Nascent Soul. Sigh, this Corpse Puppet is different from a living person. Every time its strength reaches a certain level, it must absorb Yellow Yin quality yin cold qi, which is why I brought him here."

Just then, the statue shook violently, and dense cracks appeared. Amidst a cacophony of cracking sounds, the cracks multiplied, and it looked like it was about to collapse. Wu Yu's expression changed drastically, and he said anxiously, "Little friend, if you want to Cultivate with the Corpse Yin Sect, you can say you are my Disciple. I will use a unique Secret Technique to send you there, and the Corpse Yin Sect will not suspect anything. Little friend, there is no time left, decide for yourself."

The moment he finished speaking, the entire statue shook violently again. Cracks immediately spread across the entire body of the statue, and some parts even began to fall off.

Wang Lin's mind raced. He knew well that if he did not leave this place, he would definitely be in danger once that Corpse Puppet entered. That Corpse Puppet looked like a bloodthirsty creature at first glance.

Thinking of this, he said nothing more and nodded at Wu Yu.

Wu Yu took a deep breath, performed Hand Seals with both hands, and continuously cast Dharma seals. A pentagonal ring of light slowly appeared before him.

This ring of light shimmered with seven-colored radiance, and a faint suction force emanated from it.

At this moment, the statue shattered with a loud boom, and the Corpse Puppet man's cold voice came through: "Master, let's see where you can run to this time."

Wu Yu's face revealed a look of terror. Without waiting for the Teleportation Formation to fully open, he immediately screamed, "Little friend, go quickly! Whether this old man can escape danger depends entirely on you." As he said this, his body instantly vanished and dove into the stone figure that was hovering cross-legged to the side.

At the same time, Wang Lin moved and rushed toward the Teleportation Formation. At this moment, the Teleportation Formation fluctuated, showing signs of collapsing.

The Monster hesitated for a moment, then followed Wang Lin and rushed into the Teleportation Formation.

Just then, the statue collapsed with a roar. The man looked mocking and was about to speak, but suddenly he stared straight at the Teleportation Formation, and his expression changed repeatedly.

Meanwhile, after Wang Lin entered the Teleportation Formation, he seemed to arrive in a circular passage. He felt his body being stretched infinitely. Around him, countless specks of light shimmered, each one like a star.

He looked back and saw the Monster A'dai following behind him with a look of surprise, constantly looking left and right. Upon discovering that Wang Lin was noticing him, he bared his teeth at Wang Lin, his eyes no longer filled with vigilance but instead revealing a trace of confusion.

It is unknown how much time passed, but at the end of the passage, a bright light appeared. This light grew larger and larger, and finally, it almost occupied the entire passage. Immediately after, a massive suction force emerged, and Wang Lin and A'dai's bodies were quickly sucked in.

The Corpse Yin Sect, a Demonic Path School within the State of Zhao, was not as powerful as the number one Demonic Path School, the Heavenly Dao Sect, but it excelled in being mysterious and unfathomable. It is no exaggeration to say that the Corpse Yin Sect was the number one mysterious School in the State of Zhao.

How many Disciples were in the School, where the School's mountain gate was located, how many Nascent Soul Stage experts were within the School, and other such matters were completely unknown to the outside world.

There were even rumors that the Corpse Yin Sect had been wiped out many years ago, leaving no survivors.

In short, this was a very low-key School, but its low profile did not allow people to forget it. This stemmed from the only thing the world knew about the Corpse Yin Sect.

That was the Cultivation Technique of the Corpse Yin Sect!

Disciples of the Corpse Yin Sect only had one chance in their lifetime to refine a corpse. Once the refining was successful, it would never change for the rest of their lives.

This was a Cultivation Technique filled with miraculous qualities!

For Disciples of the Corpse Yin Sect, besides their own cultivation, the cultivation of the Corpse Puppet was also a key point. To say this Cultivation Technique was filled with miraculous qualities was because five hundred years ago, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Disciple of the Corpse Yin Sect was actually accompanied by a Nascent Soul Stage Corpse Puppet.

Although this Disciple eventually disappeared inexplicably, his appearance caused a sensation throughout the entire Cultivation World of the State of Zhao, especially among those with low cultivation, who all dreamed of joining the Corpse Yin Sect.

However, no matter how hard everyone searched, the mountain gate of the Corpse Yin Sect was like ethereal clouds and mist; no one could find it.

In the far west of the State of Zhao, there was a huge plain that was shrouded in yin cold aura all year round. Even those who Cultivate Immortality rarely came to this place.

Because in addition to being shrouded in cold air, there was also the 'Nine Earths Qi,' which even Nascent Soul Stage experts were unwilling to touch easily. Anyone below the Nascent Soul Stage would be injured upon touching it.

It stood to reason that since there was such a powerful Restriction here, there should be hidden treasures. There were many Cultivators who had this idea. Therefore, led by several giants of the Demonic Path, a large number of Demonic Path experts swarmed here. After several twists and turns, they finally broke the Restriction and went in to search.

But to everyone's astonishment, there was nothing at all in the plain; there was nothing unusual about it. Some of the angry Demonic Path practitioners even expanded the search area to the underground, but in the end, they still found nothing.

This treasure hunt completely turned into a joke and was mocked by the Righteous Path Alliance.

Gradually, because this place had powerful Restrictions but no treasures, it was slowly forgotten by everyone.

At the center of this plain, there was a place shrouded in fog.

Inside the fog was a vast swamp. Beneath this swamp was a massive karst cave. The cave extended in all directions and had countless branches. Each branch connected to a slightly smaller cave, and from these smaller caves, countless more branches extended. Repeating this process, almost the entire underground of the plain was densely packed with these large and small caves.

This was the location of the most mysterious Corpse Yin Sect mountain gate in the State of Zhao's Demonic Path.

The largest karst cave in the very center was equivalent in size to several Hengyue School main halls. Inside, a magnificent Formation was composed of eight massive purple trees standing upright. Ripples of Spiritual Qi slowly emanated from within, endless and without beginning.

The eight massive trees were carved with one ancient symbol and pattern after another, looking solemn and respectful. Between the eight massive trees, several fluorescent lines connected them. Looking down from above, one could see these lines crisscrossing, forming one ring of light after another, nested within each other. Carefully counting, there were forty-nine of these rings of light.

On these eight massive trees, eight youths sat cross-legged respectively, and behind each youth, a coffin floated.

At this very moment, among the rings of light in the Formation within the eight massive trees, five of them suddenly flickered. Immediately after, a youth in a blue shirt, along with a coffin, appeared within the Formation.

One of the youths on the eight massive trees opened his eyes, glanced coldly at the person within the Formation, and said with a voice devoid of any emotion, "Where do you come from?"

The blue-shirted youth quickly bowed and said respectfully, "Lin Yi, from the Corpse Yin Sect branch of the Rank 2 Cultivation Country of Lu, has come to participate in the advancement test."

The youth swept a glance at him and said coldly, "The eighteenth cave on the right. Go."

The youth cupped his fists respectfully, walked out of the Formation, looked around, calculated silently for a moment, moved his body, and followed one of the countless passages inside.

The youth nodded slightly, said nothing more, and closed his eyes again.

Over the next few hours, several more people walked out of the Formation one after another. When the person with the highest level appeared, thirteen rings of light lit up. Among the eight youths, at the moment the thirteen rings of light lit up, two of them opened their eyes.

Time passed bit by bit. Suddenly, the rings of light within the Formation lit up again, numbering six.

A youth on a massive tree opened his eyes and stared at the Formation. Just then, the light within the Formation flashed again, and immediately seven more rings of light lit up.

"Eh?" At this time, another youth opened his eyes. The two looked at each other and both gazed intently at the Formation.

Following that, the Formation flickered again, and the number of lit rings of light increased from thirteen to twenty-eight in an instant.

"It seems a Senior has come here." Two more youths opened their eyes. Four gazes, cold yet slightly respectful, looked at the Formation.

Just as these words were spoken, the Spiritual Qi outside the Formation suddenly retracted, and a rumbling sound came from within the Formation. The number of lit rings of light grew crazily from twenty-eight, with one ring of light after another lighting up.

The remaining four youths opened their eyes at this moment, all revealing looks of astonishment. When the number of rings of light reached forty, the eight of them said nothing, stood up quickly, all knelt on one knee, performed strange Hand Seals with their hands, and shouted in unison: "Welcome, Senior…"
