Chapter 280 Demon Corpse Nine Refinings, Encounter with the Witch Again (Two in One)

The corpse refining inheritance of the Corpse Demon Sect should be at the top level in the entire world of cultivation.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to develop a branch of the Blood Demon Path into the overlord of the world.

Refining corpses is similar to refining puppets. Among the various arts of cultivating immortals, there is also the profession of "corpse chaser".

The biggest difference between the two is that the puppet is a completely dead creature and must be controlled by a monk to have combat capabilities.

As for the corpse refining process, whether it is a demon corpse from the demonic path or a zombie from the Taoist sect, they all have their own consciousness and are incomplete dead creatures.

The corpse's consciousness was born after becoming a demon corpse and a zombie. It has nothing to do with its life, and its intelligence is not high, but it has no problem executing the master's orders.

No, as soon as Taoist Corpse Oil died, a bunch of demon corpses under him suddenly became leaderless. Some of them continued to attack Li Xiuchang's clone without fear of death, while some simply ran away.

It can be seen that IQ is also uneven.

Li Xiuchang and his clones worked together to control all the demon corpses to prevent them from wandering around and harming innocent people.

Before and after this battle, Li Xiuchang harvested dozens of demon corpses.

This is because many demon corpses were destroyed by him. Most of the demon corpses were seized from the storage bags of the corpse demon sect disciples.

After dealing with the demonic corpses and cleaning the battlefield, Li Xiuchang immediately fled away.

He found a quiet and uninhabited place, took out the jade slip again, and carefully studied the "Nine Refinements of the Demonic Corpse" recorded in it.

After reading to the end, Li Xiuchang discovered that this corpse refining inheritance was not complete, and only the first part was recorded.

The Nine Refiners of the Demonic Corpse, only the first three are recorded in this jade slip.

Li Xiuchang is not very interested in corpse refining methods. The reason why he pays attention is because he found that some of them are very suitable for strengthening clones!

Li Xiuchang's diamond clone is also very special. It is neither a physical body nor a magic weapon. He used to use it as a magic weapon to refine and strengthen it.

Now it seems that it is more reasonable to use this corpse refining method to improve the clone.

The essence of the corpse refining method of the Corpse Demon Sect is to use a corpse as a magic weapon to refine it, which consumes more resources, time and energy than magic weapons of the same level.

But in terms of detailed techniques, it is much smarter and more reasonable than Li Xiuchang's previous direct integration of weapon refining materials into the second Nascent Soul.

As for the incomplete "Nine Refinings of the Demonic Corpse", Li Xiuchang is not worried because he still has the ghost of the corpse oil Taoist in his hand.

"I just don't know if this Corpse Oil Taoist is a tough talker, and I don't know if my method of questioning will work on him."

Li Xiuchang was not in a hurry to interrogate the ghost of Taoist Corpse Oil. He sorted out the spoils of the battle and threw all the magic weapons among them to Jinjiao as food rations.

Then they released Team Paw Paw and Su Qingchun and gave them a round of feeding.

He planned to increase the frequency of feeding in the future to increase the strength of the ghosts as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the ghosts wouldn't be able to help him in the following actions.

After feeding the ghost, Li Xiuchang began to meditate on "Nine Refinements of the Demonic Corpse" again.

What he was studying was the "Method of Controlling Corpses", which was also the most basic and simple part. It was to teach how to control demonic corpses and give orders to them.

This is similar to controlling a ghost. If you make a contract with a demon corpse, you can use your mind to give orders to the demon corpse, and the demon corpse must obey its master.

With just one thought, the master can "shut down" a demon corpse, which means sealing off the demon corpse's weak consciousness and turning it into a complete puppet.

Of course, there is also a certain chance of betrayal by the demon corpse. If the demon corpse is stronger than its master, it may break free and devour the master.

If one person controls too many demonic corpses at the same time, which exceeds his own capabilities, there is also a risk that the demonic corpses will escape control.

After figuring out the method of controlling corpses, Li Xiuchang began to try to form a contract with the captured demonic corpses.

Then give these demon corpses simple instructions.

After several days of trying, Li Xiuchang has mastered the corpse control method and used all the captured demonic corpses for his own use.

Because of his extremely powerful spiritual consciousness, the number of demon corpses he can control at the same time is also staggering.

At least he didn't find it difficult to control seventy or eighty demon corpses at the same time.

A few days later, the Corpse Demon Sect received news that the team led by the elder of the sect, Taoist Corpse Oil, was attacked by a strong man from the Huanxi Demon Sect. Except for one of them who faked his death and managed to escape, the rest were wiped out.

Even the Corpse Oil Taoist has been confirmed to have died in the battle, and his soul lamp left in the Corpse Demon Sect has been extinguished.

The Corpse Demon Sect did not immediately launch retaliatory actions and was still verifying the authenticity of the matter.

But then, a group of disciples of the Huanxi Demon Sect were ambushed by a large number of demon corpses while escaping after a battle with Buddhist cultivators in the Pure Land Realm.

In the end, only a few disciples managed to escape.

The senior leaders of the Huanxi Demon Sect were furious after learning the news, and as expected, this big pot was placed on the head of the Corpse Demon Sect.

In the eyes of the Huanxi Demon Sect, you, the Corpse Demon Sect, came to my territory to take advantage, and I can't spare any time to deal with you. If I don't argue with you, I have already given you enough face.

How dare you take action against my members of the Huanxi Demon Sect now?

I have to give you some color to see.

As a result, another raiding team from the Corpse Demon Sect was ambushed by a strong team from the Happy Demon Sect, causing heavy losses.

This is good, there is no need for the Corpse Demon Sect to verify the authenticity of anything. The strong men of the Happy Demon Sect have already been slapped in the face, so what else is there to verify?

The strong men of the Corpse Demon Sect are not convinced. Everyone is doing the same thing. Why are you happy that the Demon Sect does not attack the other three major demon sects and only deal with me, the Corpse Demon Sect?

Bullying me, the Corpse Demon Sect, who is apparently the weakest?

So, the Corpse Demon Sect gathered its strength, continued to plunder, and took the opportunity to launch a small-scale sneak attack on the Happy Demon Sect to retaliate against the Happy Demon Sect.

Whenever the Happy Demon Sect wanted to gather strength and expel the Corpse Demon Sect from their territory, they would be restrained and obstructed by the monks of the Pure Land Realm.

Once or twice... Over time, the Happy Demon Sect began to suspect that the Corpse Demon Sect and the Buddhist cultivators were colluding.

Otherwise, how could they cooperate so well?

As the initiator, Li Xiuchang played a role in fueling the fire. From time to time, he led his demon corpses to sneak attack the Happy Demon Sect, which brought more and more fierce revenge to the Corpse Demon Sect, making the two sides more and more angry.

During this period, Li Xiuchang finally found Senior Brother Motu. He and Senior Brother Motu discussed and directed and acted in a big drama in which the Mochen Sect was attacked by the Happy Demon Sect.

This drama was mainly performed for the Bingpo Sect and the Huangji Soul Sect.

The Corpse Demon Sect and the Joyful Demon Sect have already fought each other with real swords and guns. If the Demon Dust Sect is attacked by the Joyful Demon Sect again, it would be reasonable for the two sects to encounter attacks from the Joyful Demon Sect in the future.

Senior Brother Motu immediately commanded the people of the Demon Dust Sect to retaliate against the Joyful Demon Sect.

So the situation became that the Pure Land Buddhist cultivators, the Corpse Demon Sect, and the Demon Dust Sect jointly besieged the Joyful Demon Sect.

However, the main force was still the monks of the Pure Land. The conflicts between the Demon Dust Sect and the Corpse Demon Sect and the Joyful Demon Sect were all small-scale conflicts.

However, no matter how small-scale the conflicts were, if they occurred more frequently, they would continue to weaken the strength of the Joyful Demon Sect and even the entire Dark Sky Realm demon cultivators.

Later, Li Xiuchang teamed up with Senior Brother Motu to plan several attacks, provoking the hatred of the Ice Soul Sect and the Royal Soul Sect against the Joyful Demon Sect.

Originally, they wanted to rely on the Pure Land Buddhist cultivators to wear down the Joyful Demon Sect bit by bit, and it was unknown how long it would take, but now it has become the four major demon sects plus the Buddhist cultivators besieging the Joyful Demon Sect together.

"It seems that the Happy Demon Sect can't hold out for too long." Li Xiuchang was very satisfied with his results. He successfully provoked the hatred of the demon cultivators and made the five major demon sects fight each other.

Motu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Haven't you noticed that there has been no strong man above the Mahayana stage to take action after fighting for so long?"

Li Xiuchang thought about it and it was true.

For example, Brother Motu himself has never taken action, but only commanded the battle in the rear.

Above the Mahayana stage, that is, the strong man of the immortal level, only the monks of the Pure Land Realm have been dispatched.

And even the monks who have become Buddhas in the Pure Land Realm have suppressed their strength, otherwise they would have ascended directly.

Li Xiuchang pondered and said, "The Buddhists did not send out the powerful Buddhas because it was not the time for the final battle, and the other demon sects did not take action because they had no intention of really destroying the Happy Demon Sect. Now it seems that they are fighting fiercely, but in fact it is for profit."

"That's right." Motu nodded, "The four major demon sects are fighting vigorously now because it is profitable. If I order an all-out attack on the Happy Demon Sect now, I am afraid that many of the forces under the Demon Dust Sect will disobey my order."

All the demon sects on the territory of the Demon Dust Sect seem to have surrendered to the Demon Dust Sect, but after all, they are not on the same path. Once Motu's order conflicts with their interests, many people will disobey the order and defect.

Motu continued, "It's not that easy to destroy the Happy Demon Sect. Even if we and other demon sects conquer all the territory of the Happy Demon Sect, as long as the ancestors of the Happy Demon Sect are there, the Happy Demon Sect will never perish.

"In addition, the other sects will also consider that once the Happy Demon Sect is destroyed, will they become the next target of attack by the monks of the Pure Land Realm?

"This situation is what the other major demon sects like the most. On one hand, the Happy Demon Sect has attracted all the firepower of the Buddhist cultivators, and on the other hand, they can take advantage of the situation and continue to suck blood from the Happy Demon Sect. They hope that the situation will continue like this."

"How does Senior Brother plan to break this situation?" Li Xiuchang asked.

Mo Tu obviously had thought about it long ago, and said without hesitation: "Let the Buddhist cultivators lose a game."

...

Li Xiuchang saw that he had successfully provoked the conflicts between the major demon sects. He himself had also been familiar with the various means after breaking through the transformation of the spirit after repeated actual combat, so he temporarily withdrew from the front line.

Back to the rear, Li Xiuchang contacted Senior Brother Chen Changsheng's clone and handed him a technique.

This technique is a new magic technique that Senior Brother Mo Tu has just perfected recently. It is specially for blood demon cultivators to practice. It is a blood demon technique that can be practiced without killing people and sucking blood.

With this technique, the inheritance of the new magic path is complete, and there is a way for the magic cultivators who are willing to do good, whether it is the Soul Demon Path or the Blood Demon Path.

After that, Chen Changsheng will be asked to spread this technique in the Dark Heaven Realm.

Li Xiuchang returned to the Mochen Sect again and lived in the Sect Master's Mansion arranged for him by Motu.

Although he was only the deputy sect master, anyone with a little emotional intelligence would automatically ignore the word "deputy".

As usual, he fed the ghost first, then released the ghost of the corpse oil Taoist and began to interrogate the complete "Nine Refinings of Demon Corpses".

A few minutes later...

Li Xiuchang took the ghost of the corpse oil Taoist back to the rainbow soul flag with a little boredom.

"I thought this old devil was so hard-mouthed, but I didn't expect him to give in so quickly. He confessed after using the first method. It's really boring."

This made the dozen backup methods he prepared later useless.

"The complete 'Nine Refinings of Demonic Corpses' is indeed quite something."

"Nine Refinings of Demonic Corpses" is a method of refining corpses, but if you want to refine a high-level demonic corpse, the foundation of the corpse itself is very important, just like refining a weapon.

If you want to refine high-level magic weapons, you need to use high-level materials.

For example, if you want to refine a fourth-level demon corpse, you must at least use the corpse of a Yuanying cultivator, or even the corpse of a Shenhua cultivator.

Among all kinds of corpses, the corpse of a body cultivator is the best.

The corpse of a fourth-level body cultivator can be easily refined into a fourth-level demon corpse, comparable to the corpse of a Shenhua cultivator.

If a Yuanying cultivator does not practice body cultivation at the same time, it will cost a lot to refine the corpse into a fourth-level demon corpse.

In addition, there has always been a corpse-raising technique in the corpse demon path, and the strength of the demon corpse can continue to be improved after the refining is completed.

However, it takes a lot of time and resources to improve the strength of the demon corpse by raising corpses.

Demon cultivators have always been eager for quick success, so they still advocate refining high-level demon corpses directly.

In the Taoist "corpse-driving" inheritance, it is more inclined to rely on the method of raising corpses to improve the combat power of zombies.

"Nine Refinings of Demon Corpses" is a top corpse refining inheritance that can further improve the strength of corpses.

After being strengthened by the "Nine Refinings of Demonic Corpses", the corpses of non-physical cultivators can achieve the same effect as physical cultivators of the same level.

That is, the corpses of Yuanying demon cultivators can be used as the corpses of fourth-level physical cultivators.

And the corpses of real fourth-level physical cultivators, as long as they can achieve "five refinements", can even refine fifth-level demon corpses!

In the Dark Heaven Realm, there are only demon cultivators, and there is no physical cultivation inheritance.

The Demon Corpse Sect can rely on refining corpses to become a hegemon, and this "Nine Refinings of Demonic Corpses" has made great contributions.

"Although my diamond clone is not a corpse, it has all the meridians it should have, and it may not be impossible to refine it as a corpse, at most with slight modifications."

"It's just that the secret methods of the demon sect are still too insidious. Many of them are not only harmful to the harmony of heaven, but also have consequences after use."

Li Xiuchang decided to go back and learn the "corpse-driving" inheritance of the Taoist sect, and after comparison, remove the dross and take the essence, and appropriately select and improve the methods in "Nine Refinings of Demonic Corpses".

Putting away "Nine Refinings of Demonic Corpses", Li Xiuchang calmed down and began to practice.

The practice after entering the Spiritualization Stage is completely different from before.

He was seen sitting cross-legged, his soul left his body, entered the state of emptiness, quietly penetrated the roof and entered the sky.

The soul is hidden above the clouds, communicating with heaven and earth, on the one hand absorbing a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, on the other hand comprehending the Dao rhyme everywhere in the world.

Of course, this process does not have to be in the sky, it can also be underground, in the ocean, in the desert, in the snow-capped mountains...

The cultivators of the Spiritualization Stage travel around the world, constantly switching the practice environment, in order to facilitate the capture of different Dao rhymes in different environments.

The practice of the Spiritualization Stage is to lay the foundation for the Void Refining Stage.

What is Void Refining?

The soul turns into nothingness and escapes into the indescribable origin world in the void.

The soul turning into nothingness here does not just mean a simple switch between reality and emptiness, but also allows the soul to enter another indescribable state, so that it can enter the origin world where the great way is intertwined.

To explain it in the words of my previous life, it is probably that the soul has "upgraded" and can enter a higher dimensional space.

In that origin world, the mysterious "Dao" is no longer something invisible and intangible.

The soul can see the Dao, touch the Dao, and thus better comprehend the Dao.

But it is not so easy to enter there.

Not only does the soul need to be strong enough, so strong that the soul undergoes another qualitative change, but it also needs to have enough understanding of the Dao of heaven and earth to have a higher affinity and be able to sense the existence of the origin world.

Therefore, in the stage of transformation of the spirit, the soul needs to constantly capture the Dao rhyme in the world, comprehend the Dao rhyme, and accumulate understanding.

However, Li Xiuchang has an advantage that others do not have at this stage, that is, his consciousness has reached the stage of refining emptiness.

Under the coverage of his consciousness, it is easier to capture the Dao rhyme between heaven and earth, so his soul's efficiency in comprehending the Dao rhyme is much faster than that of the normal stage of transformation of the spirit!

Others in the stage of transformation of the spirit, after sitting for many years, captured a ray of Dao rhyme, and hurriedly and carefully comprehended it.

In Li Xiuchang's eyes, the world is full of Dao rhyme, which can be captured at will, but the speed of the soul comprehending the Dao rhyme cannot keep up with the speed of capturing.

In addition, Li Xiuchang can also let the second soul comprehend together!

This way, the speed of comprehending is doubled!

The comprehending of the Great Dao is common.

However, Li Xiuchang has just broken through to the stage of transformation of spirit, so he is not so eager to practice. He only arranged one soul to practice, and the other soul to practice skills and accumulate length values.

His physical training is now stuck at the peak of the fifth level, and he urgently needs length to break through the bottleneck.

Because there are no senior brothers and sisters around to teach him, Li Xiuchang still chooses to practice the talisman way of practice.

Other skills may test the comprehension talent or something, but the most important thing about the talisman way is hard work and practice, and practice makes perfect.

The talisman way will never let down any hardworking talisman master. As long as you work hard and practice more, your skill level will definitely improve!

If it doesn’t work a hundred times, practice a thousand times. If it doesn’t work a thousand times, practice ten thousand times. As long as you practice enough, there is no hurdle that you can’t overcome in the talisman way!

What? You said you don’t have money to buy talisman paper or spiritual ink? You can’t practice more?

If you don't have money, what's the point of practicing the talisman art!

The talisman art will never let down any diligent talisman master, unless he is very poor.

Li Xiuchang has long been free of spiritual stones, and the talisman art will only reward his hard work.

With endless practice materials, and the super-fast talisman drawing speed brought by his superb cultivation and physique, Li Xiuchang's hands work at the same time, like a human printer, and three-level talismans are constantly produced from his hands.

...

Li Xiuchang practiced and made talismans at the same time, and a month passed in a blink of an eye.

A message came...

The Buddhist cultivators in the Pure Land Realm suffered a great defeat. They were attacked from both sides by the strong men of the Joyful Demon Sect and the Demon Dust Sect. They fled all the way to the Bingpo Sect's territory, forced their way into the Bingpo Sect's territory, and seized the Bingpo Sect's passage to the lower realm.

The Buddhist cultivators' army all passed through the passage and fled to the lower realm!

The lower realm of the Bingpo Sect is not the Demon Slave Realm, but the Fenglin Realm.

Although the forces of the Bingpo Sect and the Corpse Demon Sect have long infiltrated the Fenglin Realm, the demon cultivators are not the only ones in the Fenglin Realm.

Because in addition to the Dark Heaven Realm, the Fenglin Realm has another upper realm, that is the Emperor Heaven Realm!

With the obstruction of the strong men of the Emperor Heaven Realm, the demon cultivators cannot completely rule the Fenglin Realm, and the Fenglin Realm will not fall into the situation of the Demon Slave Realm.

Li Xiuchang knew that there would be such a defeat.

This defeat was a deliberate feint, the purpose of which was to let other demon sects relax their vigilance against the Buddhist cultivators.

If the Buddhist cultivators are no longer a threat, the five major demon sects in the Dark Heaven Realm can fight internally with confidence.

Li Xiuchang also knew that the Buddhist cultivators in the Pure Land Realm also took this opportunity to wipe out the demon cultivators in the Wind Forest Realm.

The demon cultivators in the Demon Slave Realm had been almost wiped out by them, but they had never had the opportunity to enter the Wind Forest Realm. Now they finally found an opportunity.

On the other hand, the Buddhist cultivators also wanted to take this opportunity to connect with the strong men in the Imperial Heaven Realm.

The Imperial Heaven Realm also did not deal with the demon cultivators, but their strength was not enough to fight the Dark Heaven Realm.

But with the allies of the Pure Land Realm and the Immortal Shade Realm, everything was different.

It’s just that the Buddhist cultivators in the Pure Land Realm and the strong men in the Imperial Heaven Realm will not appear again in a short time.

At least they will not appear until the decisive battle of the Happy Demon Sect.

If they don’t disappear, the civil war in the Dark Heaven Realm will not start at all.

Only when there is no external trouble, internal troubles will erupt.

The defeat of the Buddhist cultivators in the Pure Land Realm caught the several major demon sects in the Dark Heaven Realm off guard, and for a while they didn’t even know what to do.

Before, with Buddhists standing in front, the four sects, Mochen Sect, Bingpo Sect, Huangji Soul Sect, and Shimo Sect, kept creating small conflicts on the territory of the Happy Demon Sect to gain benefits.

Now that the Buddhists are gone, should they retreat? Or continue to gain benefits?

Although the Happy Demon Sect also launched counterattacks against the four sects from time to time, its main focus was still on the Buddhists.

As a result, the Buddhists were driven away inexplicably, and the Happy Demon Sect was also hesitating whether to officially go to war with the other four major demon sects on its territory?

It was a bit unhappy to simply drive them away, and let them gain so many resources in vain.

If they really fought, it would not be realistic to fight four alone. The Happy Demon Sect had just been invaded by the Buddhist sect and was seriously injured. It was the time to recuperate.

Just when the Happy Demon Sect was about to swallow this bad breath, the Mochen Sect suddenly broke this strange calm.

The Mochen Sect continued to attack the Happy Demon Sect without saying a word and continued to gain benefits!

This was obviously what Motu meant.

He wanted to take the lead for the other three demon sects at this delicate moment.

The Mochen Sect took down cities one after another at lightning speed. These cities were previously attacked by Buddhists but failed to be taken down. Buddhists had already greatly consumed the defensive forces of these cities.

Therefore, the Mochen Sect did not spend much effort to harvest a large amount of spoils!

This made the other three sects jealous.

Anyway, the Mochen Sect took the initiative, and I just followed suit...

So the other three demon sects also continued to attack the Happy Demon Sect.

The previous war had already caused the Happy Demon Sect to lose most of its territory. Now the four major demon sects swarmed up, forcing the Happy Demon Sect to shrink its defense line and concentrate all its strength on the Happy Demon Sect's nest.

Li Xiuchang smelled the breath of a decisive battle and hurried to the front line again.

This level of war will be a good opportunity for him to collect ghosts.

It has been a long time since he returned to Xianchen Sect. After this battle, he planned to return to the sect first to concentrate on improving his skills and accumulating more strength.

When he breaks through the sixth level of physical training, it will be more efficient to kill demons.

Li Xiuchang rushed to the front line and came to a city occupied by Mochen Sect.

Suddenly, he paused and vaguely felt a familiar face flash by in the crowd...
