Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 910 - 471: Outer Body Incarnation

With the acting Sect Leader candidate of Sky Covering Mountain leading the core team to support, no more small fries dared to challenge the tiger’s might. The journey was surprisingly smooth, and they safely arrived at the Capital, where they could see, in the distance, the clouds obscuring but revealing the ongoing construction at the various peaks of the Cloud Platform.

Upon reaching this heartland of the Central Plains, no one dared to act recklessly at the Mystic Sect’s main headquarters, allowing them to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Therefore, Nie Yunlan led the fleet to Cloud Platform for supplies, while Tie Dan naturally had to personally climb the mountain to pay respects to and thank the Mystic Sect Leader, Lingxu.

Hmm, having been plotted against all the way, I still have to thank them, huh? But that’s Mystic Sect for you—if you don’t like it, don’t play...

However, this time it wasn’t easy to meet Lingxu. After all, as the Mystic Sect Leader, he had to conduct business. At this moment, he was meeting with delegations from various factions on the top of Cloud Platform Peak along with the nine major sects.

Alright then, not exactly various factions—it’s nothing more than an Immortal Palace and a Mystic Sect. Mainly because someone messed up things in Suiyang, so even though Suiyang City hadn’t fallen yet, the Barrier wasn’t set up, leaving it unable to block the Heavenly King’s army.

Therefore, the Heavenly King Army’s vanguard has already pressed toward the Central Plains, threatening Hulao and scaring the Three Ministers and Nine Ministers out of their wits.

After all, even though the court had relocated south, the Capital Immortal Valve and all the officials had large family businesses, with sometimes hundreds or thousands of Treasure Boats. Arranging trusted people to transport them south was too rushed to handle all at once.

So this time, the Three Ministers and Nine Ministers came several at once, clearly intending to ask Lingxu to intervene and protect their private assets.

The gossip of the Cloud Platform Eight Diagrams was rampant, and the nine major sects immediately realized that the Immortal Palace was about to cut meat—another grand feast at the Mystic Sect’s table. Thus, the Sect Leaders, who had not been seen for hundreds of years, emerged, returning to Cloud Platform Peak to serve as permanent directors, participating in the division of the Immortal Valve’s feast.

Of course, in such a feast, fewer people are preferable, so naturally, suddenly no one remembered that Tie Dan is also entitled to a seat at the nine major sects’ table to invite him up. However, since Tie Dan needed to undertake a mission to revive the sect, it was of no consequence to him.

Reportedly, at this moment, the Cloud Platform conference had already been held for several days. Before the Mountain Gate, heads gathered like a sea, brimming with people. Leaders and elders of second and third-tier Mystic Sects lined up, waiting for an audience, seeking to curry favor with the leader, get a task, and share a cup of the feast.

In such circumstances, although Tie Dan was the head of the Sword Sect, an unrivaled fearsome figure, he too, without an appointment, had to join other sect leaders and elders to take a number and queue up...

"Sword Monarch Xuantian, it’s good to see you!"

Suddenly, the old man ahead of him in line turned around with a smile to greet him.

Tie Dan looked up and down this old man with white hair and youthful complexion, eyes like deep pools, with flowing Immortal Robes and fluttering Daoist robes. At first glance, his appearance looked quite good, embodying the perfect Immortal air, very much a being of the Immortal. But honestly speaking, in this crowded mountain, everyone dressed like this, which oddly enough made it less distinctive. Politely, he replied,

"Forgive my poor eyesight, may I know your venerable name..."

"It’s me, it’s me. Can’t you recognize me with a different face?"

The old man brushed his face, suddenly changing to a ghostly visage.

Tie Dan’s face too instantly turned ghostly, glaring at him coldly.

The old man wiped away the ghost face, laughed cheerfully,

"Don’t be so angry, I was just teasing you."

Tie Dan gritted his teeth, his eyes rolling, switching to Yazi’s beast eyes to glare at him, concentrating his eyesight, ready to strike him dead with a sword at any moment.

"Oh, it’s just for fun, huh? Alright, someday I’ll pay a visit and have a good time sparring at Kongtong."

The old man smiled genially, unfazed,

"Sure, sure. At my Kongtong, under the North Dipper, the Central Platform Star is bright, and the heavenly scene is spectacular. Sword Monarch Xuantian is extremely talented; if you visit my Kongtong, you’ll surely gain new insights into the Star Gang Sword Power and Beichen Sword Intent.

I happen to have a great-granddaughter, at the ripe age of three hundred, solid in her Golden Core Peak, with a firm foundation, and has just mastered the Five Arts Introduction. Her appearance is also passable. Once she passes the next Inner Sect exam, she’ll receive the true inheritance of my Dao. Maybe she can accompany you in your tour of Kongtong, being young, you would surely have common topics."

Tie Dan was so angry he laughed,

"Are you out of your mind!? You’ve been trying to kill me, cut my path, and block my Dao! You meticulously plotted against me all the way! Wouldn’t think that with just a few soft words, I’d let your entire clan off, would you? You wouldn’t, right??"

Unexpectedly, the old man still smilingly, unchanged in expression, said,

"Hey, that’s not how it is. As the saying goes, there’s payback for grievances, and vengeance for enmity. The one who wronged you is my Three Corpses, Peng Ju, what’s that got to do with me?

If anything, it’s you who did me a favor by cutting him down, and I owe you a favor, so naturally I should repay you."

"...Ha!?!"

The old man signaled him to be calm, flipped his hand, producing a Daoist Book to hand over,

"This is the Supreme Three Corpses Scripture, it cultivates greed, anger, and delusion, the gods of the Three Corpses, and the Outer Body Incarnation.

Once this skill is mastered, the Three Corpses can cultivate independently, inseparable like a shadow, obeying commands. From gardening and herb picking, to road robbery and murder—it can be dispatched for any inconvenient tasks or unsavory raids, without any karmic implication on yourself.

Truly an indispensable Divine Skill for home or travel, and a standard possession for all at the Nine Peaks of Cloud Platform; it’s yours, don’t be polite."

Tie Dan glared at him,

"Oh...so it’s still your ruse then!!"

The old man chuckled,

"This truly has nothing to do with me. The cultivation technique is yours, you’ll see. The benefit of this technique is that the Three Corpses can cultivate independently, they’re free-range, don’t require divided attention, and can serve as Outer Body Incarnations to take the fall during calamities. But this is also the technique’s downfall.

Once you overcome the first catastrophe, the Three Corpses will have their own Spiritual Sense and harbor greed, anger, and deluded thoughts; eventually they will develop malice—having the idea that they could replace you—leaving them to follow commands with apparent allegiance, but secretly plotting, until they slay the original to take the place.
