Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 737: Chapter 352: Only the Ultimate, Corpse Mother’s Request

"Karmic Retribution!"

Wen Jiu recognized this energy. If a Qi Refining Cultivator or a Foundation Establishment Cultivator slaughters mortals, they will be corroded by karmic retribution, making it impossible to achieve Foundation Establishment. This is what cultivators often refer to as Heaven’s backlash!

However, the karmic retribution brought by this Heaven’s backlash is extremely rare. Seeing even a trace or ten traces is already the limit.

But the karmic retribution within the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses was like a vast lake, continuously pouring into the East Spring Undying Bone, and even the power of a Top-Grade Undying Golden Core could not resist, only allowing it to erode.

"With such massive karmic retribution entering the body, does it mean East Spring Undying Bone will never reach Tier Four in this lifetime?"

Wen Jiu attempted to rid himself of the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses, but to no avail.

In desperation, he could only control the Three Thousand Blood Inks to use the Corpse Fate Technique for divination, and the result was still auspicious.

"Still auspicious?"

Wen Jiu was a little puzzled. Such a massive karmic retribution, if it fell on a Master Dan with a Top-Grade Golden Core, the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit would be hopeless in this lifetime. But falling on the East Spring Undying Bone, how could it still be auspicious?

Just as Wen Jiu was stunned, the giant black worm, which had been silent for several days, suddenly transmitted sound, "Don’t worry... that was the Soulless True Monarch, who, despite everything, turned the entire Ten Thousand Corpses Sect, me—his Dao companion for hundreds of years—and even his unborn child, as well as all his blood relatives, into part of this Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven to condense massive karmic retribution.

I was refined into the Yellow Springs Corpse Mother, his blood relatives were refined into Half-Life Corpse Evil, and his unborn child became the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses. Among this karmic retribution, we’ve contributed a lot."

Wen Jiu heard this and had no reason to doubt its truth, for there was no sense in deceiving him on such matters.

However, he couldn’t understand why the Soulless True Monarch would do this. Isn’t the Nine-Child Corpse just a corpse?

Is it worth it for a corpse?

The Soulless True Monarch doesn’t practice the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, even if the Nine-Child Corpse is completed, it can’t become an External Nascent Soul, at most, it’s just a helper, only making him stronger.

Is it worth exterminating everyone just to become stronger and make oneself utterly isolated in this vast world?

"Aren’t you curious?" The giant black worm seemed to anticipate Wen Jiu’s curiosity and continued to explain, "That’s because a Nascent Soul is essentially a giant cage. Don’t be misled by the Nascent Soul True Monarchs living for over ten thousand years; in essence, they are no different from the Golden Core Zhenrens. A Golden Core Zhenren struggles for a thousand years, failing to gain a Nascent Soul Dao Fruit, facing an unwilling death... while the Nascent Soul True Monarchs can just struggle for more years. They also meet the same end as those Golden Core Zhenrens, unwillingly facing death."

"So, what does this have to do with the Nine-Child Corpse?" Wen Jiu inquired, unsurprised by the words.

This had always been laying the groundwork for his Heaven-Reaching External Dao Nascent Soul. Without assurance of transforming his Golden Pill into a Heaven-Reaching External Dao Nascent Soul, Wen Jiu couldn’t touch the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit, even if it meant needing to cultivate the Fifth, Sixth, or even Tenth Corpse. While external matters might halt at Tier Four, he absolutely couldn’t allow himself to simply halt at the Nascent Soul.

The giant black worm continued explaining, "Because the Nine-Child Corpse is the Soulless True Monarch’s only hope to break the predicament."

"Why? The Nine-Child Corpse is nothing more than a corpse?"

"Have you ever heard the abomination mention the Path of Extreme Evil?" The giant black worm suddenly asked in return.

"I have heard."

"That is the key to breaking the predicament."

"The Path of Extreme Evil is the key to breaking the predicament?"

"I also don’t know... but perhaps you can understand it as the Path of Perfection, a road walked to its extreme. The Soulless True Monarch considers himself an Evil Cultivator, so he wants to pursue his own Path of Extreme Evil. That bastard once said, only at the end of the Path of Perfection can one see the scenery beyond the Nascent Soul."

"So, is the Path of Extreme Evil just extreme wickedness?"

"Exactly... that’s why he annihilated all his blood relatives for the karmic retribution, wiped out all the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect cultivators he cultivated, as well as me, his Dao companion, and even his unborn flesh and blood."

"So, he actually doesn’t want the Nine-Child Corpse?"

The giant black worm explained once more through transmitted sound, "No, no, no, he does want it, as it can make him stronger. These are merely protective means, but fundamentally, it’s for the Path of Extreme Evil, for this massive karmic retribution.

Only the Nine-Child Corpse can contain so much karmic retribution, enabling him to travel further down the Path of Extreme Evil. Certainly, you, this Half-Undead Corpse, can also do so. Therefore, this karmic retribution can instead assist you in reaching an unexpected height in the Path of Extreme Evil.

However, he may have already sensed your interception of his five-thousand-year scheme, and even if he overturns the entire lower Heaven-Reaching River, he will surely find you! That abomination was already at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul five thousand years ago, and with so much time elapsed, no one knows what heights he has reached."

Wen Jiu was speechless.

Five thousand years, he’s probably at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul by now?

At least the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul!

Immediately, the giant black worm again transmitted sound, "You don’t need to worry, he may already be dead. Given that the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses hasn’t been completed earlier, his absence could be justified. But now that the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses has been finalized for hundreds of years, nearing a millennium, and he still hasn’t returned, it suggests he might be dead."

"Why are you telling me this?" Wen Jiu did not answer but asked another doubt in his heart.

"Because I want to die," the giant black worm added, "You are quite right; I am already dead. It’s merely a lingering obsession living on. Rather than being trapped in this Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven, endlessly burned by the Yellow Springs Undying Shadow Fire, I’d rather completely perish... but after telling you all this, I just wish to ask you a favor."

"Wouldn’t asking for a favor with just a few words be too rash?" Wen Jiu retorted.

The black giant worm transmitted sound, "You could refine me; perhaps I could still be of some use to your Half-Undead Corpse."

Upon finishing.

Wen Jiu fell silent.

He truly considered this.

This Yellow Springs Corpse Mother could gestate the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses and even possesses the undead characteristic of the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses; it certainly isn’t a simple entity. However, this thought only stirred a little and was not concluded.

Because he wasn’t a person of extreme evil.

"And the matter I want you to do isn’t difficult," the giant black worm spoke again, "With your foundation and caution, future attainment of the Nascent Soul isn’t a problem. I only hope that one day, when you meet my father, the Celestial Sword True Monarch, you can have someone relay a message to him... Tell him his daughter never hated him, only regretted not listening to him and stubbornly forming a Dao bond with that bastard Soulless!"

"Alright, I promise you,"

Wen Jiu nodded.

Having someone relay a message is not a problem.

"Thank you..." The giant black worm ceased to communicate through sound, and gradually became totally silent.

The obsession akin to the Divine Soul also slowly dissipated, leaving behind the empty shell of the Yellow Springs Corpse Mother. However, just as Wen Jiu was reaching out with Divine Sense, a thought suddenly struck him.

This Yellow Springs Corpse Mother, could it be turned into an external item, wouldn’t it be a waste to simply refine and devour it?

But the biggest problem was that it seemed the Yellow Springs Corpse Mother couldn’t leave the black pool; once attempting to leave the Yellow Springs Undying Shadow Fire, it would continue to burn. The previous pain from the Yellow Springs Corpse Mother being burned by the Yellow Springs Undying Shadow Fire was still fresh in his mind, that pain pierced the soul and was not something a person could endure.

"Wait, the Yellow Springs Corpse Mother no longer has a Divine Soul, its obsession has dissipated, leaving only an empty shell, and this shell isn’t incinerated to ashes by the Yellow Springs Undying Shadow Fire; does this mean I can directly pull it out?" With this thought, Wen Jiu immediately started to take action.

After all, trying wouldn’t cost him anything.

If it didn’t work, he could refine it as Corpse Nourishing Materials.

If it succeeded.

He could try to use it as an external artifact, or for something else.

What he obtained was displayed in concise information during daily settlements, clarifying its potential uses at midnight.
