Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 845 - 691: Renowned Across the Realm, Master Enters the Fray

This handsome bald man looks rather unfamiliar; Lou Yi doesn’t recognize him.

But from his aura, he is evidently not inferior to Su Xinghe and Mingdu in the slightest, clearly also reaching the peak of the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform, just one step away from the Seventh Layer.

’This is... a Buddha’s Son of the Lotus Sect?’ Lou Yi’s mind moved, instantly guessing the man’s identity.

"Wuxiang Buddha’s Son!" Mingdu also exclaimed, verifying Lou Yi’s speculation.

"Is this the Wuxiang Buddha’s Son? I’ve heard of his reputation for a long time, but it’s my first time seeing him in person."

"The so-called ’born from formless, like illusions manifesting,’ Wuxiang Buddha’s Son’s illusion arts are astounding; this may not be his true appearance!"

"Unexpectedly, Wuxiang Buddha’s Son transformed into another cultivator and sneaked into the True Monarch Blessed Land..."

Many among the onlookers were also debating fervently.

After all, compared to the other six Alliance Hierarch sects, the Lotus Sect is in a remote location, and Central Continent cultivators seldom interact with it.

Wuxiang Buddha’s Son approached Lou Yi, put his hands together, and gave a solemn bow, saying, "This humble monk owes the Red Hero two favors. If there are any commands from the Red Hero, feel free to let me know."

"When returning to the main world, please help take care of the Corpse-Driving Sect." Although unaware of the exact nature of the two favors, Lou Yi did not stand on ceremony.

"This is a trivial matter, Red Hero need not worry," Wuxiang Buddha’s Son responded with a smile, revealing rows of neat, gleaming white teeth, "Moreover, we may support each other in the Second Layer of the Sky Abyss, Cloud Sea Realm, the fate is still long ahead."

Upon hearing this, Su Xinghe, Mingdu, and the others exchanged glances, all showing a spirited appearance.

Sky Abyss Second Layer, Cloud Sea Realm and other places can only be explored by those above the Golden Core Master realm.

These people are all at the peak of the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform, even if they don’t have opportunities to further breakthrough later on.

With the strong foundation and resource inclination of the Alliance Hierarch sect, one can say they have half a foot into the Golden Core level.

Aside from Lou Yi, Su Xinghe, and Mingdu, many members of the group gained more or less benefits from this blessed land journey.

With Lou Yi’s cheating assistance using the cave-dwelling magic treasure, almost everyone obtained a strand of innate clear energy.

Among them, the bearded Fang Zhiyuan has stepped into the peak level of the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform; Three Corpses Daoist, Lin Xuan, Ding Shiniang, Shen Ao group all crossed into the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform, able to compete for the position of Trench Patrol Guest.

After exiting the blessed land, many people need to return to their sects, while others will continue to stay in the Sky Abyss hoping to find further opportunities.

"The path of the mundane world is long, until we meet again!"

Su Xinghe, Mingdu, Wuxiang Buddha’s Son, and others bid farewell to Lou Yi, anticipating to meet again in the future.

Lou Yi’s feat of defeating the Abyss Guardian in a few moves today also spread like wildfire across the main world.

The excitement sparked was even greater than the last time he defeated Taiyi Sect’s true inheritance Jiang Hui!

The Abyss Guardian is a figure at the Foundation Establishment pinnacle over thousands of years, with an Eighth Layer Spirit Platform cultivation that is unparalleled through ages.

Yet, such a person couldn’t withstand even a few moves in Lou Yi’s hands.

The title of the Number One Foundation Establishment of the Human Race was undeniably placed on him.

And the connection between Sky Abyss and the Vast Sea Realm in each area, Northern Border, Central Continent, Southern Demon Kingdom, East Sea Islands... all spread Lou Yi’s fame.

"Have you heard? That monstrous talent from the Yu Wen family, hailed as the Abyss Guardian, who suppressed the First Layer of the Sky Abyss for decades, was easily captured by a Northern Domain loose cultivator named Red Hero!"

"Hiss... Isn’t he already at the Eighth Spirit Platform Layer? Could it be that the Red Hero has reached the Ninth Layer?"

"Even if he hasn’t reached the Ninth Layer, a loose cultivator with cultivation unmatched in the same realm, this is an unprecedented phenomenon in the cultivation realm over tens of thousands of years!"

"A true dragon can indeed fly out of the wilderness!"

The position of Golden Core Master is already reserved for the Red Hero, and once he breaks through, he will undoubtedly be among the few elites within the Golden Core level...

The strongest does not originate from the seven major alliance hierarch sects, their embarrassment is indeed profound now!

The Red Hero’s feat of defeating the Abyss Guardian with a few moves caused a magnitude ten earthquake in the cultivation realm of Vast Sea Realm.

For a time, the seven major alliance hierarch sects fell silent, the twenty-four upper sects lost their voices, and disciples from major Taoist alliance sects, ordinary sects outside the alliance are abuzz with discussion.

The numerous loose cultivators are even more jubilant, sharing the glory.

"Even without joining sects or families, we loose cultivators have a spring too!"

Loose cultivators feel they’ve found faith and direction, many cultivators who intended to give up resumed their cultivation, a clear representation of the power of exemplar.

Meanwhile, Red Hero’s fame also entered the sights of many sect high echelons for the first time.

In Central Continent’s Northern Domain, Red Sun Sect, Qingluan Palace, True Blood Sect have even held numerous meetings within their sects specifically to discuss matters related to attracting Red Hero.

It is well known that Red Hero has close ties with Corpse-Driving Sect.

But he is ultimately not the core cultivated directly by a sect, as long as an adequate price is paid, it is possible to successfully poach him away.

A character whose breakthrough into the Golden Core realm is all but guaranteed, and is unmatched within the same realm, it’s almost foreseeable what a tremendous impact it could have on the Northern Domain cultivation realm.

Northern Domain, Corpse-Driving Sect.

Whether it’s various Spirit Fields, Disciple Peak, Guest Welcoming Peak, Feishi Peak, Wendao Peak among the Thirteen Peaks, or byroads, riversides, it all teems with discussion about the Red Hero.

"Although Red Hero is not one of our sect members, he is a Zhao Kingdom native; could he be the first Number One Foundation Establishment in Zhao Kingdom’s history?"

"Never mind being the Number One Foundation Establishment, there are barely a few at the Seventh Layer Spirit Platform and beyond!

Zhao Kingdom is not considered top-tier in the Northern Domain, let alone the fact that there are hundreds of major cultivation countries in the Vast Sea Realm."

"I heard Red Hero secretly became a Guest Minister of our sect long ago, his status even above many elders!"

"Is it true? Then our sect doesn’t have to worry about that great calamity in a few years, can smoothly overcome it?"

The disciples were extremely excited, feeling the immense pressure that had long been on their shoulders suddenly lighten.

Everyone knew that with the impending doom of the sect’s sole Golden Core Master, the Supreme Elder, the sect would inevitably fall into a desperate situation once he passed.

But now, there was the prodigy unseen for millennia, Red Hero.

Once he breaks through to Golden Core, with his unrivaled cultivation in the same realm, it would be Cyan Wolf Ridge that worries about being reckoned with.

"Qingyi, have you heard? Red Hero has already fought his way through the Foundation Establishment Realm undefeated in the world!" In the cave abode, Bi Yaoyao clapped her hands joyfully.

She wore a single ponytail, with apricot eyes and peach-like cheeks, her brows were like new moons, and her lips had two shallow dimples at the corners, making her look more charming and naive.

"Yes." Beside her, You Qingyi also smiled and nodded.

Her appearance was no less beautiful than Bi Yaoyao’s, with a cold temperament and skin as white as jade, making her stand out in any crowd.

"Of course, our Qingyi is not bad either. She has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Level, looking forward to the Golden Core, and when Lou the Log comes back, we must give him a big surprise!" Seeing You Qingyi’s calm reaction, Bi Yaoyao’s eyes turned, and she immediately hugged her waist,

"Who knows, when Lou the Log sees you, he might immediately propose a Daoist partner agreement, otherwise, what if the future Lady of the Golden Core runs away?"

"You’re speaking nonsense again..." You Qingyi’s cold temperament could no longer be maintained, as a layer of blush instantly spread across her fair face.

"It’s a pity there’s still no news of my father, sigh." After laughing and joking for a moment, Bi Yaoyao suddenly sighed again, her expression shifting from joy to sorrow.

"Believe in Red Hero; with his relationship with our sect, he surely can help find your father." You Qingyi immediately comforted her close friend.

"Yes." Bi Yaoyao nodded, her eyes also showing a look of expectation.

Upon hearing the news of Lou Yi’s great prowess, the Corpse-Driving Sect was in a state of celebration, with everyone taking pride in Red Hero.

However, the ordinary disciples were unaware that at this time, a different scene was playing out within the Sector Leader Peak’s palace.

A group of Foundation Establishment Elders sat cross-legged in the hall, each with a grave expression, looking towards the person at the head.

He was dressed in a gray Daoist robe, with hair half-white, a stern face, and a cold demeanor; he was the Great Elder of the sect, Zheng Jingming.

Only to hear Zheng Jingming say solemnly, "I have been to the Abyss, seen the Sect Leader and Red Hero, and have just returned."

"The Sect Leader has broken through to the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm, preparing to continue searching for opportunities in the Abyss over the next few years to see if he can advance further."

At this good news, the elders’ faces were pleased.

The Fifth Layer of Spirit Platform, there’s already some possibility of passing the Heavenly Tribulation.

Of course, the hope is not very high; further advancement is safer.

However, Zheng Jingming’s next words changed the faces of many.

"Red Hero conveyed to me his gratitude to the sect for trusting him and inviting him as a Guest Minister Elder.

But given the uncertain situation, he cannot assume the responsibility and is resigning first." Zheng Jingming said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the palace immediately became somewhat silent.

Moments later, Elder He Xiang was the first to speak: "Red Hero has offended several major sect alliance leaders like the Taiyi Sect, he fears we will be implicated."

Other elders nodded one after another.

Having lived for hundreds of years, everyone understood Red Hero’s intention to sever all ties with the Corpse-Driving Sect to avoid the wrath of Taiyi Sect, Spirit Treasure Sect, and other sects.

These giant top-tier sects, even shaking off some anger casually, could make the Corpse-Driving Sect vanish completely.

"As a leader sect, it should be a model for the world; the people of the Taiyi Sect should not make things difficult for us, right?" an elder said, somewhat uncertainly.

"Do not place your destiny in the hands of others’ mercy." Zheng Jingming said in a deep voice, "You can prepare to transfer some potential disciples away first."

"Is it necessary?" A few elders expressed their confusion.

But more people nodded silently; the thousand-year foundation of the sect must not be at risk.

...

In the heart of the Central Continent, the Taiyi Sect.

In a cloud-enveloped cave abode atop a towering 7,000-zhang crimson and silver peak.

Fierce discussions could be heard.

Atop the cave, there were occasional flashes of lightning and thunder, sometimes gusty winds and clouds rolling, this was a Golden Core Master influencing the laws of heaven and earth!

"That Red Hero brat, too arrogant, incapacitating our sect’s people, does he really think he can hide in the Abyss and be safe?

Dispatch all the Undying War Puppets from the Immortal Alliance, release everything we have stored away, I refuse to believe we can’t kill him!"

"Senior Sister Zhao, the Immortal Alliance is not solely under our control; this time the Xuanyin Sect and Wuliang Sword Sect certainly won’t agree..."

"Then go find that Corpse-Driving Sect, they are close with Red Hero and surely know the location of his family and loved ones.

As long as we seize his weaknesses, are we not able to force him out?"

"Senior Sister Zhao, doing this might attract criticism, right?"

"You’re talking to me about criticism? Who is responsible for Unrivaled’s death? Tell me! Answer me... Whoever advises me again is an enemy of me, Zhao Wanchun!"

With an explosive, angry elderly female voice, the scene was plunged into an eerie silence.

Soon after, a shocking rainbow light suddenly shot out from the peak, piercing through the sky, causing the clouds above to roll endlessly, racing urgently towards the north!
