Chapter 181: Infiltrating the Black Lotus Sect, Lu Chen is more evil than evil
Special copy: Sword Formation Ruins, Sword Pavilion Third Floor
"Huh, after hundreds of deaths, I have finally figured out everything I need to know."
Lu Chen meditated on the spot, his mind constantly collecting the information he had obtained at the cost of hundreds of lives.
The first was the corpse cave closest to him.
The so-called Shitu Cave is actually a Taoist sect similar to the corpse-driving sect in the Immortal Alliance.
But it is different from the corpse-driving sect that drives other people's corpses.
The method of controlling corpses in Shitu Cave is very special.
They will separate their three souls of heaven, earth and man and integrate them into a carefully prepared zombie.
During the Qi training stage and the foundation building stage, it is the "human corpse", during the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage, it is the "earth corpse", during the Spirit Transformation stage and the Tribulation Crossing stage, it is the "sky corpse".
The method of "corpse transformation" in Shihe Cave is to merge these three corpses.
Therefore, after refining a complete 'human corpse', the evil spirits in the Corpse Cave need to start cultivating the 'earth corpse' and let the earth corpse devour the human corpse, so that this earth corpse will have two of the three souls of the evil spirits in the Corpse Cave.
The same applies to the subsequent Tianshi.
As for 'Shi Jie', they need to completely subdue 'Tian Shi Jie' and let him complete the Shi Jie.
It is equivalent to using Tianshi's body as nourishment to protect Shi'e Dong's soul.
If they can successfully 'transmigrate', they will be able to become reborn instantly.
But if they fail, their spirits will be controlled by the celestial corpse's body.
And use their spirits and souls as nourishment, so that Tianshi can give birth to his own spirits and souls.
In the history of the Shihe Cave, there have been a total of seven people who successfully transformed their corpses into Shihe.
The rest were twelve 'Nirvana Corpses' who had failed to transcend.
The nirvana here refers to the fact that these corpses devoured the souls of the original monks in the corpse cave and were reborn in nirvana.
And every Nirvana corpse is equivalent to a mortal immortal among the immortal cultivators.
Belongs to the most advanced existence in the mortal world.
It is precisely relying on these twelve Nirvana corpses that the Shihe Cave can be as famous as the Black Lotus Sect and Daqian Mountain, becoming one of the three top forces in the world of evil.
This is the information about the Corpse Cave that Lu Chen had found out.
After obtaining this information, Lu Chen gave up the idea of disguising himself as a disciple of Shiqie Cave.
Not only did he not know how to raise a corpse, he also had no way to cultivate a 'Earth Corpse' in a short period of time.
So he directly excluded Shidu Cave from the forces he wanted to disguise and infiltrate.
The situation in Daqian Mountain is similar to that in Shiqie Cave.
The so-called Daqian Mountains is actually the place where countless demons and monsters gather.
The monks of Daqian Mountain devoured the essence and blood of the demons and used secret methods to get closer to the demons step by step.
In this regard, their cultivation methods are similar to the "bloodline sorcerers" that Lu Chen knew in his previous life.
They are a group of weird evildoers who believe that the human body has its limits and therefore decide not to be human.
However, Lu Chen is an orthodox cultivator. There is not a single bit of demon's blood in his body. He is a real human being.
Therefore, he would undoubtedly be unable to imitate the evil in Daqianshan.
So, the only person Lu Chen could disguise himself as was the Black Lotus Sect disciple he was most familiar with.
And Lu Chen did the same in the dozens of resurrections recently.
However, Bai Yu of the Black Lotus Sect was a cautious person, and it took Lu Chen dozens of deaths before he figured out a way to gain her trust completely.
After sorting out all the information he had obtained from hundreds of deaths, Lu Chen immediately stood up.
"I have been very close to success in the last few attempts. With the experience gained from these attempts, I should be able to snatch the remaining diagram of the sword formation from them now."
After he finished speaking, Lu Chen immediately walked down from the third floor of Jiange with ease.
However, this time he did not go to the stronghold of Shiqie Cave, but walked towards a valley in Cangjian Peak.
Although he wanted to infiltrate the Black Lotus Sect, his core purpose was actually to gain the absolute trust of the Black Lotus Sect's Shuiyue Zhenren Baiyu.
Because in the previous battles for the sword map, Lu Chen found that he could not gain Bai Yu's trust.
Then in the battle for the sword map, he would only be used as cannon fodder by Bai Yu to fight against the monks from Daqian Mountain and Shiqie Cave.
Even if Lu Chen disguised himself as much as possible in such a battle.
But as long as he uses the sword domain.
Then, no matter whether it is the Nascent Soul cultivators from Daqian Mountain or Shiqie Cave, they will target him first.
This is not to say that Lu Chen’s sword domain power is strong enough to threaten a Nascent Soul cultivator.
You must know that no matter how terrifying his sword domain is, it cannot make up for the huge gap between him and the Nascent Soul cultivators.
Therefore, this was the real reason why Liang Jinyun, a Yuanying stage cultivator from Shiqie Cave, and Kong Guangping, a Yuanying stage cultivator from Daqian Mountain, attacked him.
In fact, both of them wanted to devour the Hedao realm sword domain in his body.
Faced with this situation, Lu Chen immediately changed his strategy.
The key to seizing the sword map lies in how to conquer Bai Yu and gain her absolute trust.
A big part of the reason why Lu Chen died so many times later was because of this.
After all, Bai Yu was too suspicious, so suspicious that she would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
If there was anything wrong with Lu Chen, she would immediately attack him.
Fortunately, Lu Chen finally exchanged his life for an excellent set of intelligence.
Who would have thought that Bai Yu, one of the elders of the Black Lotus Sect, would actually have a childhood sweetheart in the Shiqi Cave.
And her childhood sweetheart was turned into a corpse by the Corpse Cave.
Bai Yu didn't tell anyone about this secret.
Because in the Black Lotus Sect, which emphasizes ruthlessness and the end of desire, Bai Yuruo said this.
Not only will the Black Lotus Cult not help her with revenge, but it will also try every possible way to torture Bai Yu.
Let her completely give up this idea.
Only in this way can she devote her whole body and soul to the Black Lotus Buddha Mother.
Therefore, even if he hated a certain Jindan stage guardian of Shiqie Cave to the core.
But she never showed it.
It was only after Lu Chen knew this and used the corpse of the Jindan-stage cultivator from the Shitu Cave as a token of his allegiance that he finally gained Bai Yu's trust.
Therefore, what Lu Chen had to do now was to kill the Jindan stage cultivator from the Shiqie Cave who was exploring the valley of Cangjian Peak.
In this way, he had initially established his foothold in the Black Lotus Sect.
Cangjian Peak and Test Sword Valley.
The so-called Sword-Testing Valley is the place where the disciples of Cangjian Peak used to practice swordsmanship in the past.
This is an excellent place for the disciples of Cangjian Peak to test their swordsmanship.
It also contains many sword marks of the predecessors of Cangjian Peak.
If the disciples of Cangjian Peak could learn something or other from these sword marks, it would be of great benefit to them.
However, with the demise of the Qingyun Sect and the brutal battle that destroyed the sect.
As a result, the Sword Testing Valley has completely changed beyond recognition today.
Not only has the environment of the valley changed greatly, but also because of the incomplete map of the sword formation.
The scattered sword energy in the valley underwent some kind of change over the long years and evolved into a special kind of "sword energy turbulence".
These turbulent sword energy flows vary in strength. The strong ones can severely injure even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, while the weak ones can be easily resisted even by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, after such a long period of exploration, they have almost figured out the cycle of the turbulent sword energy in the Sword Testing Valley.
Understand when it is most dangerous to enter the valley and when it is safest to enter the valley.
But this is only relative.
Because even in the safest period in the valley, the most terrifying sword energy turbulence may still occur.
Therefore, whether it was the Black Lotus Sect or the people from Daqian Mountain and Shiqie Cave, they were all very cautious during the entire exploration process.
Only when we are sure that there is no terrifying sword energy turbulence forming around will we conduct further exploration.
The same is true for Yi Chi, the Taoist priest of Thunder Corpse in Shiqie Cave.
"Protector Yi, the core area of the Sword Trial Valley is just ahead. Where should we stay?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Chi immediately fell into deep thought.
Although the Sword Test Valley is large, there are not many safe areas that have been explored so far.
If they wanted to explore the valley as much as possible, a suitable place to stay was absolutely essential.
After taking out the map and looking at it for a while, Yi Chi finally chose a place.
"Right here."
Looking at the place chosen by Yi Chi, the ten Foundation Establishment Stage disciples of Shiqie Cave around him immediately rushed towards that location.
Soon after, they arrived at a cave in the Sword Test Valley.
In the huge Sword Testing Valley, there are many caves left by the disciples of Cangjian Peak.
Some of these caves are strong, while others are weak. Some of them even contain relics left behind by the former disciples of Cangjian Peak.
The cave chosen by Yi Chi and his companions was not only a cave commonly used by the Jindan-stage sword cultivators of Cangjian Peak.
Moreover, this location is rarely affected by the sword storm in the Sword Testing Valley, making it an excellent place to stay.
But soon after their group of eleven entered the cave, they unexpectedly discovered that someone had already arrived there.
Lu Chen sat in front of a campfire, calmly looking at Yi Chi and others who entered the valley.
Yi Chi and the others saw that Lu Chen was wearing the Black Lotus Sect's clothes and that he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
One of the Shiqie Cave disciples, who was eager to show off, immediately said arrogantly: "You rubbish from the Black Lotus Sect, this place has been taken over by us from the Shiqie Cave."
"Leave quickly if you know what's best for you, otherwise..."
Before the disciple from the Shiqie Cave could finish his words, a sword energy slashed across his neck.
The next second, the disciple of the Shiqie Cave looked at Lu Chen in astonishment, and finally his head and body were separated and he fell to the ground.
This sudden scene made many disciples of the Shiqie Cave feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Then they summoned a coffin and released their own corpses.
Lu Chen looked at the coffins calmly and did not stop their actions.
After all, Lu Chen has experienced similar scenes hundreds of times.
Not only did he know the actions of Yi Chi and others clearly, he could even recite by heart what they were going to say next.
It's just a formality right now.
"Boy, you dare to kill our people from Shiqie Cave, you..."
Phew!
Before the disciple from the Shiqie Cave could finish his words, another sword energy suddenly slashed across his neck.
Without his control, his corpse instantly went berserk and began to indiscriminately attack everyone around it.
Among them was the disciple from the Shiqie Cave who was closest to it.
Looking at the sudden chaos, Yi Chi, who had always maintained the demeanor of a master, finally took action.
Suddenly, a black coffin appeared behind him.
As the coffin was opened, a strong arm stretched out from the coffin and directly grabbed the corpse that had lost control and was killing people.
In the face of the absolute gap in strength, the corpse with only the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage is no match for the corpse in the Golden Core Stage.
He crushed its head with just one hand.
Then Yi Chi's Jindan stage corpse licked the remaining blood in his hand, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his hideous face.
He seemed very satisfied with the food in his hand.
However, it seemed to smell something suddenly. It sniffed the air and then looked directly in the direction of Lu Chen.
That fiery look was as if Lu Chen was some kind of delicacy in its eyes.
Although he really wanted to cut Lu Chen into pieces immediately, Yi Chi stopped him.
He walked out of the team and looked at Lu Chen in the cave from afar.
"Although I already knew that you, the Black Lotus Sect and the Great Thousand Mountains, were not trustworthy, I didn't expect you to have the courage to attack us directly."
"Now that you broke the rules first, you can't blame me."
"A swordsman who has mastered the sword intent, and he is still so young."
"God has been very kind to me, sending me such excellent materials."
"With you, I may be able to refine a Heavenly Corpse in the future."
"Go, Lei Guang, catch him for me."
Upon hearing Yi Chi's order, the Jindan-stage corpse immediately rushed towards Lu Chen.
But just a moment after it rushed out, it stopped in fear.
Because a blood-red weapon suddenly appeared in Lu Chen's hand.
Even a ferocious Jindan-stage corpse like it was, after seeing the strange vertical eyes on the evil weapon.
They couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, as if they were being watched by some ancient ferocious beast.
Not only that, after the appearance of this strange and ferocious soldier.
A sea of blood immediately enveloped the entire cave.
Seeing this scene, Yi Chi was instantly horrified and said: "Hedao Realm, you actually mastered the Hedao Realm Sword Domain!"
Yi Chi looked at the sword domain appearing around him, and he no longer had the arrogance he had before.
Because even though he is in the Jindan stage, Lu Chen is in the foundation-building stage.
But the sword domain of the Hedao realm is already enough to threaten him.
In response, Lu Chen walked towards him and his earth corpses and said calmly: "Dealing with you has nothing to do with courage, it's just because you... are too weak."
As they were speaking, a large number of arms emerged from the Sword Domain Sea of Corpses and Blood and grabbed Yi Chi and his group.
Yi Chi relied on his Jindan stage protective elixir and was able to barely resist the grab of these bloody hands.
But those disciples of Shiqie Cave who are in the foundation-building stage do not have such ability.
Therefore, along with their corpses, all these people were dragged into the sea of blood and soon became motionless.
Soon, Lu Chen, Yi Chi, and his earth corpse were the only ones left in the huge cave.
"You want to use my body to refine a corpse. Unfortunately, you don't seem to have the ability to do so."
"Let me borrow your head for a while."
As he spoke, the sea of blood on the ground began to surge.
Soon, a special spiritual sword made entirely of blood appeared in Lu Chen's hand...
