Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 137 - 91: Attending the Master-Apprentice Banquet, Preparing to Enter the Abyss

When the thought arose.

Eastern Celestial City suddenly realized why the Tier Two True Spirit Demon chose to expose itself to chase to the abyss's entrance.

"If what you say is true, you'll be credited greatly again." At this moment, Eastern Celestial City looked at Wen Jiu with increasing satisfaction.

If the True Spirit Divine Tree is indeed fake, then things haven't reached the worst possible situation.

Because a real True Spirit Divine Tree is far more difficult and sinister to deal with than a Tier Two True Spirit Demon.

"Thank you, Great Elder."

Wen Jiu responded, but at this moment, he felt no joy from the credit, as he was more concerned about the safety of Deadman Peak.

As they spoke. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The Blood Shield was already within reach.

The Killing Array that kept attacking the Blood Shield stopped abruptly as Eastern Celestial City raised a hand.

"Try to send your Yin Spirit in again."

Wen Jiu nodded.

The Yin Spirit immediately plunged into the Blood Shield.

But the result was unchanged.

It was obliterated the moment it entered.

"Great Elder, it's been watching all along."

Wen Jiu spoke.

Eastern Celestial City nodded, "No need to try anymore."

"Mm-hmm."

Wen Jiu nodded.

Even though he knew this would be the result, he still felt somewhat helpless inside.

Was it really necessary?

How much had he actually plucked?

Compared to the whole True Spirit Divine Tree, what he plucked should barely count as a fraction of the Demon Technique?

If only he had another day, he could have produced a Tier One Superior Law-Devouring Yin Insect.

Alas.

Sadly.

After today, he probably wouldn't have another chance.

Sure enough, when the Main Peak Elders gradually gathered outside the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, Eastern Celestial City instructed Wen Jiu to immediately leave from the other side of the abyss and warned him not to spread the matter of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

But as Wen Jiu departed, he left behind two Yin Techniques, hiding in a corner, secretly observing the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

Not long after.

More than fifty Main Peak Elders gathered in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss. Once the number was reached, Eastern Celestial City took an array from his storage bag.

Another Killing Array.

But it was no longer Tier One Top Grade.

It was a Killing Array infinitely close to Tier Two Lower Grade.

"I believe I don't need to say anything. You should understand what's happening." Eastern Celestial City began setting up the array.

Since the True Spirit Divine Tree is fake, its life origin must be with the True Spirit Demon Race below the abyss.

Since Demon Technique exists.

It indicates the fake True Spirit Divine Tree needs Demon Technique for support.

Thus, he planned to use the trump card given by his master before he left, to accelerate the True Spirit Divine Tree's consumption maintaining the Blood Shield. At the same time, he wanted to test the core of that Tier Two True Spirit Demon with this array.

"A Tier One Top-Grade Array!" Xun Jiangxing recognized at a glance the quality of the Killing Array Eastern Celestial City was setting up.

But his surprise was not due to the Killing Array.

It was because of the reason behind using this Killing Array.

Likewise.

The other Main Peak Elders gradually realized.

The clearer they understood, the graver their expressions became.

"This array is called Thousand Kill Array, requiring forty late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators to activate, with fifty it can unleash its most powerful might. I ask for your full support, to prevent the tragedy of a hundred years ago from repeating."

Eastern Celestial City stepped into the array's center, holding an array flag, then chanted incantations to formally activate the Thousand Kill Array.

Upon hearing the phrase 'prevent the tragedy of a hundred years ago from repeating,' everyone dared not delay, quickly finding their respective positions in the array's center.

The next moment.

The array fully unleashed its power.

Constantly bombarding the seemingly indestructible Blood Shield.

Again and again.

Repeatedly.

Even from afar, Wen Jiu could sense the terrifying destructive power of the Thousand Kill Array through his Yin Spirit.

"I hope the Great Elder and the others can resolve this."

Wen Jiu secretly prayed.

He really didn't want to become a Loose Cultivator!

...

On the way back.

Everyone encountered was discussing the Langhuan Blessed Land affair, and who could benefit the most from this Langhuan Blessed Land.

They were also discussing the so-called Hidden Dragon List.

Wen Jiu quietly listened, though he didn't care for the Hidden Dragon List nor liked rankings, but he enjoyed this sect's atmosphere. Where friends gathered in threes and fives to chat about current sect hot topics during leisure, adding a bit of novelty to the monotonous cultivation life, it was mostly a joyful thing.

But how long could this joy last remains unknown.

Wen Jiu quickened his pace, no longer stopping to listen to others' discussions.

In the following days, Wen Jiu continued to use his Yin Spirit to monitor the situation inside the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss. The attacks continued, during which the Great Elder had already spent over ten thousand Spirit Stones to maintain the grand array.

However.

The attacks did not yield much effect.

Only a few tiny cracks were opened in the Blood Shield.

But the good news was, the cracks didn't heal.

This proved that the energy of the Blood Shield was being effectively consumed, the True Spirit Divine Tree could no longer replenish it.

During this period, Wen Jiu could not re-enter the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss but continued cultivation at the previous pace.

Cultivating Hidden God Technique, Corpse Nourishing, Planting Yin Evil Spirit Medicine.

And so.

Time came to the day of Chen Daoqing's apprentice banquet.

With the incident of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, Wen Jiu originally had no intention to attend, but remembering he had promised before, he reluctantly packed up and went over, intending to have a few drinks and leave.

What Wen Jiu didn't expect was the scale of Chen Daoqing's apprentice banquet was quite large, even inviting elders from Feixian Peak.

This showed the importance Chen Daoqing attached to this apprentice banquet.

Compared to when Elder Ye Chen took him as a disciple in a simple manner, Chen Daoqing's banquet was indeed too extravagant.

Moreover, Wen Jiu saw someone familiar.

Li Qing.

Steward Li Qing from the Demon-slaying Department.

"He actually came too."
