Chapter 117: Myriad Shinra
“Celes… Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace…”
Qing Xu’s teeth were trembling as he saw Ming He approaching slowly.
“The top sect in the Divine Land, instead of killing the beastkin, you even help the beastkin to fight against us!” Qing Xu hissed, “Has the Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace also fallen to this level?”
The top sect in the Divine Land… Qin Yi was a little speechless. He knew that Ming He had a good background, but he didn’t expect it to be so great. She seems to belong to the “The First Hall” of this sect? I don’t know the specific concept, but it sounds like the most important core part or the most powerful department in this sect.
This is really a big deal. No wonder Liu Su’s first judgment was that “it definitely comes from the authentic sect” and “what she learned is very superb”. This is an “orthodox” essence that cannot be erased even by tens of thousands of years. Maybe it is inherited from an acquaintance of Liu Su?
Ming He said faintly, “Why bother acting at this point? There must be an ancient corpse here. You wanted to cover it up because you were afraid that disturbing the ancient corpse might attract the attention of the righteous sects. Unfortunately, there is a beastkin that interferes with you. He used the influence of the Wang Family to spread the news outside the county, and it eventually attracted me. Now, tell me where the ancient corpse is hidden.”
“That ancient corpse can’t move at all!” Qing Xu was trembling with anger, “That’s an unconscious real corpse. My zombie refinement art has not reached the level of being able to refine a Cloud Riding Stage cultivator into a zombie puppet. I’m still refining it.”
Ming He asked, “Then where did your zombie refinement art come from?”
“I realized it myself beside the ancient corpse.” Qing Xu said, “Just like the word ‘Tao’ on the mountainside, I understood some cultivation methods from it. This is my own comprehension.”
Liu Su ridiculed, “The three major illusions of cultivating. ‘I have a high comprehension, so give me resources, and I will be invincible.”
Qin Yi, “…”
Ming He was silent for a moment, then she showed a pitiful look, “You have indeed become someone else’s zombie puppet, but you don’t know it.”
Qing Xu was furious, “Nonsense! I’m always clear-headed. I cultivate to the current level myself. How could I be someone else’s puppet?”
“The moment you ‘comprehend’ the zombie refinement art, you were already dead. Your soul that has not dispersed is being imprisoned and modified into what she wants. You refine the ancient corpse so that you can control it one day. In fact, you are doing it under her control.” Ming He said slowly with a solemn face, “All manifestations of nature belong to one; All existences are one’s slaves. So someone from the Myriad Shinra Sect has come into the mortal world too…”
Demon Way! This concept popped up in Qin Yi’s mind.
Sure enough, there was the immortal way, and there was the demon way. Not all cultivators were righteous. In fact, he could understand from the words of Ming He and the old taoist nun.
As Ming He mentioned the ‘Myriad Shinra Sect’, Qing Xu’s eyes began to turn dull. Slowly, his eyeballs turned gray, and the skin began to stiffen, gradually turning an iron color. In addition to the iron-colored skin, mold-like hair began to grow.
“The iron zombie at the peak of the Piano Heart Stage is not easy to deal with. You should retreat further.” Ming He stared at Qing Xu and said to Qin Yi without looking back, “Don’t leave too far. Although the master of this zombie may not be here, Here, it’s better to be careful.”
Qin Yi took a few steps back, then Liu Su explained, “This is the original form of the zombie puppet. After Ming He exposed him, his soul dissipated and his spell ability disappeared, replaced by infinite strength, a steel-like body, and a high spell resistance. If Ming He was still at the same level as him, she might not be able to beat him. But now, she can crush her with a higher level.”
After a pause, she said with some admiration, “This Qing Xu didn’t hide that he was a refined zombie. The appearance of the zombie revealed after being defeated was normal. Even he thought so too, so he even fooled me. This new trick is really interesting…”
Qin Yi nodded. Not only is the new trick interesting, but the scheme is also interesting. Qing Xu appears to be a living person, but is actually a refined zombie. When people realize this, they thought they have found the truth. No one would think that there is a deeper truth. When Qing Xu himself didn’t know about it, he even got to fool Liu Su.
Of course, after seeing the examples of Taoist Qing He and the others, Liu Su and Qin Yi also guessed this possibility. Ming He seemed to know the opponent better, so she could tell the truth.
“Swoosh!” The battle had begun. Qing Xu Iron Zombie thrust his palm toward Ming He’s neck at a speed far beyond Qin Yi’s imagination. This palm actually caused sparks of violent friction in the air. This was not just a physical attack, but the collision between the zombie aura and the aura in the air.
Qin Yi was surprised, “Shouldn’t the speed of zombies be very slow?”
Liu Su said, “Who told you? Besides, this is an iron zombie, not an ordinary zombie.”
Qin Yi was speechless.
Ming He’s figure turned into an afterimage, and the iron zombie missed and struck the wall, cutting in like it was tofu.
Ming He had already arrived at the other corner of the stone house. She pointed diagonally to the ground with the long sword.
The stone house quickly turned frosty. Countless ice crystals shuttled through the room, surrounding the iron zombie. f𝐫e𝚎we𝚋n𝐨𝘃el.𝗰𝗼𝐦
“The art of immeasurable transformation, the art of ice prison and cold mist.” Liu Su’s voice became more and more interesting, “There have been some subtle improvements in the method and code of the technique, but the effect has not been weakened. It’s very good.”
Qin Yi wanted to roast. Am I watching the show or you?
However, a layman watched the excitement while an expert observed the technique. Liu Su could certainly see more value in observing the battle of Ming He. Maybe Liu Su could summarize something and improve its own cultivation method.
For Qin Yi himself, what he could understand was that Ming He was a caster.
Although she had a sword, she didn’t know much about sword arts. The movement of swinging the sword was more like dancing than martial arts. The sword was just a just a medium for casting spells. When it was released, it was an infinitely powerful enchanted weapon.
Even when used as an enchanted weapon, it was not a “flying sword” in the conventional sense, but a strange light, which seemed to have a strong restraint effect on beastkin and zombie. The sword light just grazed the arm of the iron zombie, and it roared in pain. The body that did not have blood actually bled with dark blue pus and blood. This was because the zombie poison was ulcerated by the sword light.
Qin Yi sniffed and looked at the Stick Stick in his hand resentfully.
It can neither condense and amplify my spiritual force, nor can it draw external power such as divine thunder, heavenly flame, etc, nor can it be cast to burstout magical power… I can only smash it, and Liu Su can spin it after I throw it out. That’s all…
She is cultivating to be immortal, and I’m too… but why do I feel like a barbarian…
Liu Su leisurely said, “Don’t look at me like that. I know what you are thinking… The fact is that the level of this mace is too high. Apart from using material, you can’t touch other effects at all.”
“At least develop it a little bit first.”
“Hmm… the spikes pop out suddenly. What about that?”
Qin Yi’s anus tightened, thinking of a terrible scene.
Ming He shouted over there, and the long sword had pierced the iron zombie’s heart. A coldness spread along the wound, freezing the entire iron zombie.
“It’s done?” Qin Yi scratched his head. Although I’m here to watch Ming He crushing the enemy, it feels something wrong to see her easily finish off the boss…
Just as he thought so, Ming He said in shock, “Who awakened the ancient corpse!”
“Rumble…” A slight tremor came from the ground, and the desolate zombie aura dispersed instantly.
“…” Qin Yi really wanted to give himself a slap in the face! Why can’t it go smooth? What the hell was I thinking?
