I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 294 - 258 Corpse Mountain
Wu Youde was holding the Sound Transmission Mirror, and in just a moment, four white-bearded elders had appeared.
Wu Youde and his companions hurriedly paid their respects to the four white-bearded elders, yet one of the plump white-bearded elders disregarded Wu Youde altogether, simply saying,
"Elder Ai sent the message only mentioning that the Wuliang God of the Wuliang Mountain was causing trouble and he intended to seal it. However, he didn't mention that the Wuliang God has completely lost control."
It turned out that these white-bearded elders were not called upon by Wu Youde through the Sound Transmission Mirror, but instead, Elder Ai had informed them prior to heading to Wuliang Mountain.
The leading white-bearded elder looked at Wu Youde and the other two, asking, "What exactly happened?"
Wu Youde briefly and concisely explained the situation. The leading white-bearded elder then said to the other three, "Fellow disciples, let's set up an array together to help Elder Ai seal the Wuliang God."
The four figures from the Xiangxi Sect flew off in four different directions, sealing the entire mountain range.
Tian Lin and his companions had already been quite far from Wuliang Mountain. Fearing the battle would escalate and affect them, they decided to employ Sword Control for flight, even seeking refuge near the land originally close to Yu Family Village.
Logically speaking, this place was very far from Wuliang Mountain, so distant that the mountain itself was invisible.
Yet high in the sky, six Dharma Manifestations appeared.
Tian Lin saw Elder Ai and the Wuliang God battling fiercely overhead, with four towering Xiangxi Sect elders assisting Elder Ai on either side.
These six Dharma Manifestations, swallowing clouds and exhaling mists, were immensely spectacular, as if gods had descended to the mortal realm.
"This battle is meant to subdue the Evil Spirit and secure the safety of the region and its people. But I fear it might not go as intended—how many mortals will be affected by this?"
Elder Ran remained neither sorrowful nor joyful; due to the emergence of the Wuliang God, everyone in his village had died.
Watching the six Dharma Manifestations in their entangled fight, numerous mountains were shattered by them, and he foresaw that many villages residing around Wuliang Mountain would suffer from this disaster.
Indeed, at the height of the battle between the Dharma Manifestations, a group of cultivators, either by Sword Control, aboard Flying Boats, or mounted on Walking Corpses, escaped from above and below the sky.
These people were obviously not from the same village, and each possessed at least the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment.
Among them, a Golden Core cultivator riding a wooden coffin, upon seeing Wu Youde, slapped the coffin and stopped beside Wu Youde asking,
"Fellow Daoist Wu, what happened at Wuliang Mountain? If I'm not mistaken, this showdown commenced from your Wuliang Mountain."
Wu Youde hastily explained to the Golden Core cultivator, "It's the Wuliang God causing trouble. Now, I've called upon the elders of the Xiangxi Sect, and they are suppressing the Wuliang God, so fellow Daoists need not worry."
He dared not let people know that this disaster was triggered by the ancestral greed of the old Clan Leader.
Now, only a handful of people from the Wu family remained, and the decline of the Wu family was inevitable. At this point, there was no need to draw further hostility.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, you've put this rather lightly. Of course, we're not worried that the elders of the Xiangxi Sect won't be able to suppress the Wuliang God—but many of our relatives and friends haven't managed to escape from our village. Can we not be worried about their safety?"
The group voiced their concerns, looking anxiously at the distant supernatural fight.
Finally, they saw the five elders of the Xiangxi Sect lift five mountains and smash them towards the Wuliang God.
The first mountain hit the Wuliang God, causing it to stagger. Before the Wuliang God could steady itself, a second mountain smashed into its knees.
As the Wuliang God knelt on one knee, a third, fourth, and the fifth mountains struck its waist, back, and hindbrain in quick succession.
Just as the Wuliang God was about to fall, the five elders grabbed downwards, and countless Walking Corpses and Undead from the Chaotic Burial Forest flew towards the five mountains.
Thousands of corpses climbed the five mountains, using their bodies to link the mountains together, with the collective intent to suppress the Wuliang God beneath.
The Wuliang God arched its back, about to shake off the mountains and the corpses atop.
Then the five elders reached down to the ground, and numerous newly dead bodies burst into explosions, forming clouds of blood mist that fell into the elders' hands.
They drew runes with blood on countless corpses.
With a 'boom', as soon as the runes were written, each Corpse Mountain weighed as heavy as ten thousand catties, completely suppressing the Wuliang God down to the ground.
In an instant, the entire land of mass burial shook.
The five Dharma Manifestations subdued the Wuliang God, and it was only at this time that they withdrew their Divine Skills and vanished.
Tian Lin and the others, seeing this, boldly flew toward Wuliang Mountain.
As they approached, they stared at the majestic five peaks.
These towering peaks had no sight of soil, wood, grass, or stone on top, only layers upon layers of corpses piled up, stretching from the foot of the mountains to the unseen summit.
"So many Undead and Walking Corpses, it seems they've completely swept clean the Chaotic Burial Forest on the perimeter of the land of mass burial, haven't they?"
Elder Ran took a cold breath, recognizing a few 'acquaintances' amongst these Undead.
Everyone was astonished by the grandeur of Corpse Mountain, but quickly, their gazes converged on Elder Ai.
Out of the four elders, three were meditating, while one was assisting Elder Ai at his side.
Elder Ai was seen forming hand seals, with Array Patterns flaring from his bare hands, then embedding them into Corpse Mountain.
Every Array Pattern that landed on Corpse Mountain would cause the mountain body to tremble.
Then, they saw Elder Ai holding a coffin nail, ascending and slowly descending from the summit.
Tian Lin and the others watched solemnly as Elder Ai inscribed Artifact Patterns on one corpse after another with the coffin nail.
"He wants to forge Corpse Mountain into a Magic Artifact?"
"A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, coupled with a Nascent Soul Level Dharma Manifestation. How powerful must such an artifact be?"
Everyone watched intently, trying to gain insight into the art of artifact forging from Elder Ai's actions.
Only a few were not focused on this but turned around to search for their relatives—yet after a battle, the surrounding mountains and rivers had already been shattered to smithereens.
Those villages built upon the mountains, too, had long been reduced to ashes.
Moreover, when the five elders of the Xiangxi Sect suppressed the Wuliang God, they had once refined the flesh and blood of the deceased villagers, now searching for these villagers was naturally an exceptionally difficult task.
Although Tian Lin did not know the art of forging artifacts, he too paid attention to Elder Ai's actions.
This attention lasted for a full ten days or more.
Over these days, Elder Ai did not rest his eyes for a single moment, wholeheartedly inscribing Array Patterns amongst the corpses.
Also during these ten days, upon this Stone Mountain, not a single corpse was left without being inscribed with dense masses of characters. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
These characters, weren't they innumerable?
Eventually, one day, Elder Ai inscribed the final stroke and put away the coffin nail in his hand.
He chanted an incantation, then shouted the word 'Rise'.
On the five Corpse Mountains, numerous Undead lay on the ground, between the corpses, and began to silently howl toward the sky.
Their bodies shone with brilliant golden light, countless Array Patterns emitting a golden radiance.
The land of mass burial trembled, and the five Corpse Mountains suddenly rose from the ground.
