Chapter 798: Chapter 332: Level 3 [Chaotic Burial Mound]

The corpses have all been buried.

Including all those in the Core Formation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Ji Yuan hadn’t forgotten the hidden trait of guaranteed critical hits when upgrading buildings.

Celestial Silkworm Zhenren had already self-destructed, and Ji Yuan was in urgent need of a Core Formation Realm corpse puppet to serve as his guardian. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He buried the Thousand Souls Banner, Yin Ghost Banner, and other Demon Dao spiritual artifacts.

Hoping to gain some fortune during the upgrade.

Once everything was arranged, Ji Yuan chose to upgrade the Chaotic Burial Mound.

As soon as his thought fell, a powerful stream of Yin energy erupted from the Chaotic Burial Mound before him.

It was so dense that it had solidified.

The effect was that the Chaotic Burial Mound was immediately shrouded in a thick mist, and Ji Yuan could hear the sound of ghosts wailing.

The surrounding Yin wind gusted, ghost fire hovered, and as his gaze swept over, he could even see corpses puppets emerging from beneath the sand.

"They’ve come!"

Ji Yuan quickly released his Divine Sense to scan over the Chaotic Burial Mound.

The corpse puppets...five from the Foundation Establishment Stage crawled out!

A full five of them!

A Core Formation Realm corpse puppet...there was actually one.

It was an old acquaintance of Ji Yuan, his most troublesome opponent encountered previously, the one with the peculiar insects — Hundred Insects Old Immortal!

At the moment he saw him, Ji Yuan felt a bit dazed.

He remembered that he had blown up this old immortal, with everything below his knees blown away.

But now his legs had regenerated, though they had become skeletal.

They looked somewhat eerie.

However, with that dense Yin energy and the strong aura of early-stage Core Formation, it wasn’t that unsettling.

Compared to the previous Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, this Hundred Insects Old Immortal surpassed in all aspects.

To Ji Yuan, it was simply like getting an SSR subordinate!

Seeing him walk up, Ji Yuan immediately lent him his Golden Light Mirror.

Regaining his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the aura of the Hundred Insects Old Immortal seemed to grow much stronger.

As for the remaining Foundation Establishment Stage corpse puppets, Ji Yuan didn’t pay much attention.

With his current strength, if a fight broke out, these corpse puppets would just be cannon fodder.

Might as well keep them around for menial tasks.

So with a thought, he stored away these freshly emerged corpse puppets and then immersed his mind into his Consciousness Sea.

During the prior upgrade, a strange memory had appeared in his mind, along with which was the green ghost fire in his Dantian.

The second spirit effect of a Level 3 Chaotic Burial Mound was this Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

Ji Yuan had previously collected a lot of texts and was quite knowledgeable about this Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

In short, it could be summarized in one sentence.

Once mastered, claiming invincibility among peers might be an exaggeration.

But finding an enemy within the same tier would be very difficult.

Often, even when surrounded by two or three same-tier cultivators, it would be relatively easy to break out.

No amount of pondering compares to giving it a try.

Ji Yuan raised his right hand, forming a sword gesture with his index and middle finger, and gave a slight turn before him, conjuring a cluster of ghostly green flames between his hands.

Though flames were ignited in his hand, Ji Yuan felt no warmth, only a chill.

First, he used his heart’s thought to conceal the building facade of the Level 3 Chaotic Burial Mound. Once the surrounding ghost mist and wails dispersed, he saw the two Frost Serpents opposite looking slightly terrified.

Especially Tuesday, which now shrank behind Monday in fear.

"Hehehe."

Ji Yuan chuckled and approached them.

The Yin Corpse Demon Fire still burned in his hand, and as he stepped forward, the two Frost Serpents retreated slightly.

Just seeing that Monday was so frightened, Ji Yuan could already guess the potency of the Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

Moreover, it was impossible to actually test its power on these two Frost Serpents. Turning around, he tossed the Yin Corpse Demon Fire onto a distant patch of bare ground.

Where the Demon Fire landed, Ji Yuan manipulated its effect, causing the entire patch of land to erupt in ghostly green flames.

Under the Demon Fire, the stones on the ground gradually turned to ash.

The Demon Fire consumed stone.

Even after burning, the Demon Fire did not diminish.

Ji Yuan squinted slightly, watching the sea of flames before him, recalling the method of condensing the Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

To legitimately refine this Yin Corpse Demon Fire... its methods could be described as extremely vicious!

Previously, Ji Yuan thought massacring an entire city’s cultivators to refine a Demon Skill was demonic enough.

But in front of the cultivation methods for this Yin Corpse Demon Fire, that was minor.

Ji Yuan didn’t even dare to closely examine the methods, such as using the bloodline of the same clan as an introducer, refining the offspring, extracting the Lifebound Fire of their parents; all these ways highlighted the evil of this cultivation technique.

Ji Yuan was already pondering that next time when facing an enemy, if he unleashed this Yin Corpse Demon Fire... would they mistake him for some once-in-a-century great demon head like Qiu Qianhai?

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan smiled contentedly once more.

"Hehehe."

Having tested the power of the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, Ji Yuan retrieved the sea of fire before him, transforming it once more into a wisp of ghost fire, and then reabsorbed it back into his body.

However, because it burned for too long previously, the Cave Mansion was still thick with Yin energy.

That was no matter.

Ji Yuan retrieved the Thousand Souls Banner from the Chaotic Burial Mound.

With a single-handed incantation, the Soul Banner swept through, collecting all the remaining Yin energy in the Cave Mansion.

Gazing at the Thousand Souls Banner in his hand, Ji Yuan felt a bit disappointed.

Because despite gaining some fortune, the Soul Banner failed to make significant progress.

At least it didn’t ascend to the level of a Magical Treasure.

Based on Ji Yuan’s understanding, once the Thousand Souls Banner successfully advanced to a Magical Treasure, it should be renamed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Then, if someone dueled him, it would truly be... "Why not come inside my Human Emperor Banner for refuge, fellow Daoist?"

"Hehe."

The more Ji Yuan thought, the happier he became. But as he prepared to summon the panel to view the Level 4 Chaotic Burial Mound’s spirit effects,

he realized there was a slight disturbance within the Chaotic Burial Mound.

"Could it be... the Yin Ghost Banner has movement?!"
