Chapter 1710 1613, The Corpse King’s Secret (First Update)
The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron
âBack then, the other seven pavilion masters and I went deep into the ancient star to investigate. In the end, I was the only one who came back alive. Do you know why?âMu Canghai recalled bitterly.
Su Yu pondered. It was rumored that back then, the eight pavilion masters were unable to extricate themselves from the ancient starâs array formation. Mu Canghai sacrificed the other seven people to escape by luck.
âPavilion Master, are you saying that thereâs something else going on?âSu Yu asked.
Mu Canghaiâs weathered eyes were filled with tears and tears as he sobbed, âActually, we didnât encounter the killing array like the rumors said!â
What? Su Yu was surprised. âThen why did the eight Pavilion Masters of the Star Pavilion end up in such a miserable state?â
Back then, those who could become pavilion masters were all mystic crystal overlords.
With eight people working together, even a half-step emperor of heaven and earth would have to retreat, right?
Why did seven people die and one was injured in one night, causing the heavenly dry star tribulation that caused a sensation in the world?
âBecause...âmu Canghai recalled. Even after 30,000 years, he still had lingering fear in his heart. His voice trembled slightly. âWhat we encountered was something even more terrifying!â
âI saw rows of ancient stone coffins erected in the ancient star! âThey covered the entire ancient star, and the number was immeasurable!âMu Canghai said, âIn each ancient stone coffin, there was an ancient corpse! âThey rose from the dead and absorbed corpse Qi from the stone coffins to cultivate!â
Su Yuâs heart jumped. Ancient corpses that rose from the dead? Absorbed Corpse Qi to cultivate?
Wasnât that what he saw in the mystic ice space?
âAt the end of the stone coffins, I saw a huge altar, and on the altar, there were ten unusually large ancient bronze coffins!âMu Canghaiâs expression was filled with fear. âIn the ancient bronze coffins, there were ten emperor-level corpse kings!â
Ten? Su Yuâs pupils constricted.
Not to mention the other stone sarcophagus, the ten corpse kings in the ancient bronze sarcophagus were enough to sweep through the once glorious ancient divine realm!
âOur arrival woke up one of the corpse kings and they started to chase us.âMu Canghaiâs old tears flowed down. âThe eight of us werenât even a match for the corpse king. We didnât even have the chance to escape!â
In front of the Emperor of Heaven and earth, the Overlord of the Mystic Crystal realm was just a tiny creature.
Then, how did Mu Canghai escape? Did he really sacrifice seven of his companions in order to escape on his last breath?
âThe eight of us were all suppressed by the corpse king. He sealed us in eight stone coffins to turn us into the corpse race.âMu Canghai trembled as he said, âAt the last moment, it was the great pavilion master who used a forbidden technique to dream the world ending Cliff, and sent me, who was the closest to him, out of the ancient star through his dream realm!â
âHowever, in front of the Emperor of Heaven and earth, the Overlordâs divine technique was just a joke. The Corpse King killed the Great Pavilion Master who was casting the technique with one palm and broke the forbidden technique. I teleported halfway and fell back to the ancient star!âMu Canghai said, âBut the other six pavilion masters also attacked at this time. They self-detonated the gate of the inner mansion one after another to continue the great pavilion masterâs forbidden technique. I was lucky enough to escape.â
âBut all of them died tragically. None of them survived.â
Mu Canghaiâs expression was sorrowful and filled with guilt.
Was this the truth?
They were the ones who took the initiative to sacrifice themselves, not Mu Canghai who was afraid of death and mutilated them.
Looking at the old body that kept shaking, Su Yu finally understood why everyone despised him. The descendants of the Seven Pavilion Masters treated him as their enemy, cursing and harming her everywhere, but she was indifferent.
She neither refuted nor retaliated, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.
So it was guilt!
The seven pavilion masters had used their lives to exchange for her continuation. She was burdened with heavy shackles, and even if she was harmed by the descendants of the Seven Pavilion Masters, she was unwilling to attack them.
Staring at him deeply, Su Yu sighed silently.
He also finally understood why the Star Pavilion at that time would still take in the âCowardlyâmu Canghai.
It turned out that there was an unknown reason for everything.
âNot long after, that corpse king woke up the other two corpse kings. The three corpse kings appeared in the Sea of constellations and caused an endless disaster!âMu Canghai revealed the unknown truth -- the ancient corpse came from that ancient planet beyond the heavens!
âIt was precisely because I returned alive and reported the news to the star pavilion that the head pavilion master, who was in deep seclusion, was able to come out in time to turn the tide and force the three corpse kings into seclusion. He even forced the emperor corpse to seal itself.â
Su Yu asked curiously, âThen your cultivation level is...â
A bitter smile flashed across the corner of Mu Canghaiâs mouth. âDuring the battle with the corpse clan, I found the corpse king who killed the Seven Pavilion Masters. I wanted to take revenge for them. I didnât care about my cultivation level and used a forbidden technique. Unfortunately, it was just a moth flying into the fire. That Corpse King defeated my forbidden technique with a thought. If it wasnât for the head pavilion master, I would have long been white bones.â
So that was the case.
However, Mu Canghai still hadnât explained the origin of the black-gray stone.
As if he knew what Su Yu was thinking, Mu Canghai continued, âHowever, my forbidden technique didnât completely fail. At least I cut off a finger from the corpse kingâs body.â
Su Yuâs heart jumped, âCould it be that youâre saying that the black-gray stone is the corpse kingâs finger?â
Mu Canghai said, âHehe, at first, I was like you. I didnât believe it at all, and I didnât believe that there was anything in the world that could improve the comprehension of cultivation techniques. But the truth is right before my eyes!â
Su Yuâs heart trembled.
The Corpse Kingâs body was actually formed from such a strange stone!
âIn the past 30,000 years, Iâve studied it carefully and managed to find an explanation.âMu Canghaiâs eyes shone with a deep light. âLife and death are maintained by the laws of Heaven and earth. No living being can reserve this law! âHowever, how can dead ancient corpses be resurrected? âThe answer lies in their bodies
âIn this special material body, itâs possible to avoid the laws of life and death and resurrect from the dead.â
Her explanation sounded impossible for ordinary people to understand.
However, Su Yu, who had come into contact with the mother of all laws, believed her.
People couldnât be resurrected from the dead. This was the original law of the absolute beginning world, which was decided by the absolute beginning Great Dao,
there were only two kinds of people who could break the restrictions of the absolute beginning Great Dao.
One was like Su Yu, who had the life power Upanishad of the Eight Great Heavenly Dao. The other was to avoid the detection of the absolute beginning Great Dao.
Even if it was the former, if Su Yu wanted to resurrect a person, he needed a prerequisite. That person still had his aura in this world. Otherwise, Su Yu wouldnât be able to resurrect a person out of thin air.
One could imagine that it wasnât easy for the latter to avoid the detection of the absolute beginning Great Dao.
This body made of heaven-defying materials could protect the dead from the detection of the absolute beginning Great Dao. It had a certain amount of power.
The problem was, where did this material come from? It had never been recorded in many ancient books!
It couldnât have been born out of thin air, right?
âThen, what about the ordinary corpse clan?âSu Yu asked.
Mu Canghai shook his head: âNo!â! The true corpse race was born with the cultivation of the Emperor of Heaven and earth, which was also the level of the corpse king. The ancient corpses under their control were all sealed by the creatures they captured. Just like the Corpse King that year, he wanted to refine the eight of us into his puppets. Their bodies were only flesh and blood.â
Hearing this, Su Yu couldnât help but take a deep breath.
A Corpse King? Wasnât the corpse race too terrifying?
All of a sudden, Su Yuâs heart moved.
Mu Canghaiâs high-speed black-gray Stoneâs origin and the secrets of the ancient star, what was his purpose?
After thinking for a while, Su Yu said, âPavilion master hopes that I can enter the ancient star?â
He wanted to obtain the black-gray stone, so he could only enter the ancient star.
Mu Canghai praised, âItâs very easy to talk to you. You Donât even need to give me advice.â
She looked out of the sky, her chest full of anguish. âFor 30,000 years, Iâve been searching for a suitable candidate. I hope that someone can enter the ancient star for me and bring back the corpses of the seven of them.â
âThis is the greatest wish of my life!â
Su Yu was silent.
The corpses of the seven Xuan crystal overlords had already been turned into ancient corpses when they landed in a place like the ancient star where the corpse Qi was soaring to the sky, right?
Bringing them back was not as simple as âBringing them backâ?
Even if there were no other obstacles, just subduing the seven ancient corpses of the Xuan crystal overlords would require supreme divine power.
âPavilion Master, donât you think too highly of me?âSu Yu smiled bitterly and said, âGu Xing is such a dangerous place. If I go there, I will definitely not return.â
Mu Canghai said, âYou saved my life at the dream ancient altar. The debt of gratitude has long been repaid. How can I have the face to ask you to go into danger for me?â
Su Yu was slightly stunned. âThen pavilion master wants me to enter the ancient star because...â
Mu Canghaiâs lips curled into a cold smile as he said, âIâm giving you a great opportunity!â
Opportunity? What kind of opportunity could there be in such a ferocious place like the ancient star?
âThe Star Pavilion started setting up 30,000 years ago, in order to capture all the ancient corpses that have yet to awaken in the ancient star!âMu Canghai said, âNow that 30,000 years have passed, the head pavilion masterâs injuries have recovered, and his divine arts have been completed. He already has the ability to compete with that emperor corpse. Itâs time to eliminate the threat of the ancient corpse.â
Su Yuâs heart was boiling when he heard this. âPavilion Master, are you saying that the star pavilion will slaughter their way into the ancient star?â
Mu Canghai clenched his fists, flames burned in his eyes. âNot just the Star Pavilion, the South Sea, East Sea, and North Sea will all be invited to participate in the extermination of the ancient star! At that time, all the overlords and above will be mobilized to participate in the Battle of Life and Death!â
âIf you can follow the army and seize some corpse Kingâs remains, it will be an unimaginable opportunity for your various divine arts. It will be hundreds of times stronger than the opportunity in the ancient Dream Altar!âMu Canghaiâs eyes were burning.
In the current world, other than the three Great Pavilion Masters of the Star Pavilion, the head pavilion master, and Mu Canghai, only Su Yu knew the secret of the Corpse Kingâs body.
Without the knowledge of others, he had come prepared to collect the corpse kingâs remains. One could only imagine how advantageous it was.
Back then, even a small piece of it could allow Su Yu to capture the inspiration for the son of Heavenâs aura-gazing technique to break through to the soul devouring realm. If he could obtain even more, wouldnât all divine arts come naturally?
Thinking up to this point, Su Yuâs emotions surged, and he was exceptionally tempted!
âHowever...âMu Canghai was a little hesitant. âOther than our sea of constellations, there might be other forces from overseas participating. Whether they know the secret of the corpse kingâs body or not, we donât know.â
Hearing this, Su Yu was slightly shocked. âForces from overseas? Are there still other forces outside the Sea of constellations?â
The absolute beginning world he knew was only limited to the sea of constellations.
âOf course!âMu Canghai said, âThe sea of constellations is just one of the thousands of civilizations in the absolute beginning realm.â
