Chapter 223 The Immobilization Technique of the Mysterious Rock Elder (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)
The Soul-Shattering Finger fired incessantly, like a machine gun.
This secret technique is only at the second level, and its effect on the Thunder Spirit Corpse is limited. However, each hit can still make it stagger and make it difficult to truly catch up with Wang Yu.
Correspondingly, Wang Yu's spiritual power was being rapidly depleted.
Previously, when moving out of the cave passage, the Search for Demons technique consumed a lot of energy. Now, with frequent use, it was empty in less than 15 minutes.
Fortunately, his robust physique gradually helped him overcome the paralysis and regain his agility.
"Taiyin Corpse Control Technique!"
Driven by his thoughts, a torrent of lunar energy surged forth, enveloping Wang Yu and the Thunder Spirit Corpse within it, with flashes of lightning and scattering of ice crystals intermittently.
Clearly, the two sides clashed again in close combat, engaging in the most intense melee. The sounds of booming, metal clashing, and cloth tearing filled the air, revealing the brutality of the fight.
Not long after.
Like a sandbag, Wang Yu was shot backward from the thick Yin Sha fog, crashing headfirst into the rock wall and embedding himself there. His body was tattered and torn, with cuts from fingernails all over it.
The corpse poison entered his body, but it was suppressed by his constitution and did not cause any further effects.
After pulling himself out of the rock face, Wang Yu glanced at the listless corpse and put it back into the coffin. The creature had been hollowed out and had been struck by lightning.
A few more hits and it'll be completely ruined, which he can't bear to do.
As for the Thunder Spirit Corpse.
As the saying goes: There is a sequence to learning, and each profession has its own expertise!
He had already come up with a plan. His risky hand-to-hand combat with the zombie earlier was to lay the groundwork for his plan. The art of corpse refining is not only a method for cultivators to create zombies, but it can also be used to subdue wild zombies!
After all, one cannot expect all precious exotic species to originate from the hands of cultivators. Heaven and earth are the true wonders of creation, capable of forming all sorts of incredible miracles.
at this time.
The Moon Fiend Domain was once again completely dissipated by the Thunder Spirit Corpse's lightning storm ability. After fighting with Wang Yu for a long time, its anger intensified, and a purple lightning rune lit up on its chest.
The terrifying lightning energy rapidly gathered, and within this deep lightning pit, the lightning techniques were greatly amplified. The sense of crisis transmitted by Wang Yu's divine sense was even stronger, causing his hair to stand on end!
He immediately began making hand seals, scratching the tip of his index finger with his fingernail to force out a drop of blood from his heart, and his divine sense resonated with the corpse-suppressing seal that had just been placed on Lei Ling's corpse.
Amidst the thunderous roar, the Thunder Spirit Corpse's accumulated movements began to slow down.
Wang Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, muttering to himself.
"Yin-Yang Blood, Stabilize the Spirit!"
"The moon has a spirit, and the corpse has a nature."
"—The Three Souls and Seven Spirits Immobilization Technique!!!"
This is the most profound and difficult method of fixing a corpse in the Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique. The heart blood is originally the most yang blood in a living person, but it happens to have the characteristics of heavenly yin blood, which is in harmony with the mysteries of yin and yang.
Even though this secret technique is not yet fully mastered, it still exerts considerable power.
Lei Lingshi stopped activating his innate divine power, the gathered thunder energy dissipated, and the lingering sense of crisis in his heart finally dissipated.
Wang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"A wild zombie is just a wild zombie. Even if it has some intelligence, it's not as clever as a human. Once I subdue you, you will become my number one zombie general!"
"Hahaha--"
The rarity of the Thunder Spirit Corpse is already one of the most rare opportunities in the Corpse Path. Wang Yu even suspected that it might be the corpse of the Nascent Soul Venerable who was killed by Ji Meng in the legend, now turned into a zombie.
but.
On second thought, that was impossible; those were things from the early ancient times. He was more inclined to believe that it was a special kind of explorer who had come to the lightning pit.
After swallowing several pills, Wang Yu approached the Thunder Spirit Corpse.
He noticed that it trembled from time to time, and the bloodstain he had touched between its brows was fading. This indicated that the Thunder Spirit Corpse was struggling, and at this rate, it would break free in less than an incense stick's time.
"How could this be so troublesome?"
Wang Yu examined the Sea Heart Ring, hoping to find a treasure to restrain the Thunder Spirit Corpse, but his movements suddenly froze.
"Wang Yu?"
A faint voice came from afar, but its powerful aura was hard to ignore. In less than half a second, the voice that was just a moment ago in the distance was now right next to your ear.
"You are Wang Yu... Lord Guiling City?"
"Yes, Wang Yu greets you, senior. May I ask your honorable name?"
Right before my eyes.
An old man with jet-black hair but a white beard stood in front of Wang Yu, holding a dragon-headed cane that looked like a mountain rock, with pebbles slowly rotating on it.
He was wearing a purple robe with a hawk-shaped crown and gold thread around his waist.
Although his face was old, his skin was as white and tender as a baby's, and his bright and spirited eyes were scrutinizing the trembling Lei Ling corpse beside him.
"Good darling, it seems you are quite lucky. To have such an opportunity while being pursued by the inner disciples of the Yellow Springs Temple is truly rare... extremely rare!"
Undoubtedly, the person in front of him was the reinforcement brought from Yunling Prefecture City. Although he had guessed it beforehand, Wang Yu couldn't help but feel uneasy when he actually saw him.
This is a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Not counting his experience at the Yama Ghost Market, this was the first time he had been so close to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even without the other party deliberately exuding his aura, he could feel a heavy pressure emanating from him.
Hearing that the other party's answer was irrelevant, Wang Yu gave a bitter smile to himself.
This incident of the sacred offering being stolen has gone from misfortune to fortune, and then back to misfortune again. He clearly has no chance of possessing this Thunder Spirit Corpse. Besides, he doesn't have any real means to control it!
If he were to refine it on the spot, his spiritual power would not be able to sustain it unless he relinquished control of the Yin Sha Corpse. His Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique would also be at a lower level, barely reaching the minor completion stage.
How can one refine this exceptionally ferocious Thunder Spirit Corpse?
His mind raced, and Wang Yu answered without hesitation.
"Wang Yu managed to subdue this Thunder Spirit Corpse by sheer luck, but his fortune is still lacking. Why not give it to you, senior? You must have had a long and arduous journey from the city in just half a month, so this is a fitting compensation."
The Nascent Soul cultivator was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.
"You're saying...it's a Thunder Spirit Corpse?"
"Naturally, when the younger generation fought with him, he was quick-witted and intelligent, possessing wisdom no less than that of a child, yet he had no murderous aura."
"This must be the legendary spirit corpse, capable of controlling lightning. I will call it the Thunder Spirit Corpse!"
Such beings as spirit corpses are rare even in ancient history. Wang Yu only gained a deeper understanding of them after studying the path of corpses, but he still lacked basic knowledge.
Without taking action, it's difficult to tell whether the Thunder Spirit Corpse possesses intelligence. It's quite normal for this Nascent Soul cultivator to mistake it for a Thunder Corpse.
Upon hearing what Wang Yu said, the Nascent Soul cultivator, who was initially overjoyed, became conflicted and could only cautiously ask.
"Senior, what's wrong...?"
"My name is [Old Man Xuanyan]. You may call me Senior Xuanyan."
"Yes, Senior Xuan Yan."
By revealing his name, the other party would be showing respect and intend to befriend Wang Yu, which he would naturally not refuse.
"As for spirit corpses... these are truly rare. In ancient history, very few people have been able to obtain this opportunity, and all of them died tragically. There are rumors that spirit corpses have been created by heaven and earth, and those who rashly enslave them may suffer an ominous curse."
Wang Yu couldn't help but swallow.
Such rumors are too far-fetched. It's better to think of it as revenge from the social network of the spirit corpse in its previous life. As far as he knows, many cultivators of the Corpse Path have died from inexplicable grudges.
It's because the corpses they control still have relatives and friends alive. If they find out, they'll definitely come to take revenge, take the corpses away, and give them a proper burial.
Given how special a spirit corpse is, it's quite normal for it to possess some kind of special constitution. Thinking about it this way, its social network in life must have been incredibly impressive.
If one is enslaved, and then discovered by one's network of connections.
The spirit corpses who died tragically in ancient history seem quite normal.
However, regardless of whether the other party wants it or not, he certainly won't try to dissuade them. He's not some cheapskate who needs the other party to accept it to feel comfortable; this is his opportunity! His!
He remained silent and pondered for a long time.
Old Man Xuanyan suddenly laughed and muttered to himself.
"What am I worried about? This rare, almost unique Thunder Spirit Corpse is best sold to the Heavenly Corpse Demon. He'll definitely be willing to pay a large sum of spirit stones, hahaha~"
He finished speaking.
With a wave of his hand, Lei Ling's corpse rapidly shrank and disappeared into the palm of the Xuan Yan Elder. Wang Yu was filled with envy, but kept his head down the whole time.
Old Man Xuanyan was even more satisfied.
"It wasn't in vain that I went to the Thunder Pit to find you. Come with me. I have captured all the Yellow Spring Temple cultivators who stole the sacred offering."
"Not only will the lost sacred offerings be recovered, but I will also petition the sect for a great reward for you. When you reach the Core Formation stage in the future, you will know the benefits of this."
Wang Yu quickly expressed his gratitude.
"This junior thanks Senior Xuan Yan!"
Clearly, this was the benefit of contributing the Thunder Spirit Corpse and establishing a connection with this Nascent Soul cultivator. In any case, the more benefits the other party received from the Thunder Spirit Corpse, the more they would remember Wang Yu.
Who knows, we might be able to use this relationship someday.
In this way, it was not in vain that he gave up this opportunity.
Next, Elder Xuanyan grabbed Wang Yu's shoulder, and he only felt a blur before his eyes. In just a dozen breaths, he was back on the ground, where Xu Ruozhou and the others were guarding outside.
Upon seeing that Wang Yu was safe and sound, she immediately expressed her delight.
"Lord City Lord."
"Lord of the city, it's so good that you're alright."
"Why worry about me? With Senior Xuan Yan here, what could possibly go wrong?"
Standing to the side was the pale-faced Master Qingyang.
He bowed solemnly to Wang Yu.
"Wang Yu, thank you so much this time, otherwise..."
"Hey, we're all family here, so let's not stand on ceremony. Guiling City needs you to develop. In the future, let's work together to make Guiling prosperous. That's more important than anything else."
With the crisis averted, Wang Yu's eloquent words moved Qingyang even more.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Elder Xuanyan finally spoke.
"Let's go to Guiling City. I will personally intervene in this matter and demand an explanation from Huangquan Temple. You can think about what compensation you want in advance."
Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"Senior Xuanyan, do you mean that Huangquan Temple will not choose to start a war?"
"Of course, how long has it been since the great war between the righteous and the demonic forces three hundred years ago? Even the Refining Heaven Demon Sect has not yet recovered its strength, so how could the Yellow Springs Temple lightly start a war?"
"In my opinion, there must be one or two high-ranking officials who have discovered something and want to cause trouble in Yunling Prefecture. This matter will be a long and complicated affair."
"Come on, I'll take you there and we'll get there faster."
Half a day later, Wang Yu and the others returned to Guiling!
A friend's book, let's do some online shopping together.
