I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 51: High-Quality Spiritual Roots

Bang!

Ye Shuangman smashed the chair next to her into pieces, her face turning pale.

"How dare they?" she exclaimed.

"There's nothing we can do. Lin Xuan has offended someone important by taking him as his master," a True Immortal said.

The True Immortal who was escorting Zhu Ming sent back a message that Lin Xuan had become a disciple.

A Nascent Soul cultivator who excelled in swordsmanship took notice of Lin Xuan's talent in sword dao and personally took him as a disciple before he finished the junior competition.

The Tianmo Sect couldn't afford to offend that Nascent Soul cultivator, so they could only watch as Lin Xuan was taken as a disciple.

But in doing so, the Tianmo Sect suffered a great loss.

They had spent several years nurturing a genius, only to have him become a stepping stone for someone else.

And then, a few days later, Zhu Ming was intercepted and killed by a True Immortal.

It was clear that, apart from the Tianmo Sect, there was no other force that had a grudge against Cangwu.

"What does Lin Xuan becoming a disciple have to do with me?" Ye Shuangman gritted her teeth, seething with killing intent.

"Young Master, you need to think long-term. Lin Xuan's talent is exceptional, and it's not impossible for him to reach Nascent Soul stage. But now that he's gone, they have no hope," the True Immortal said.

"But Cangwu is different. We already had a high-quality genius, Lin Shujin, who is almost at the Nascent Soul stage, and now we have Zhu Ming as well. We are close to having two Nascent Souls."

"Originally, the Tianmo Sect had Lin Xuan and wasn't afraid. But now that the genius is gone, they naturally have to consider the future and don't want to see our sect with two Nascent Souls."

Lin Shujin became famous early on and achieved the status of a True Immortal. It would be difficult to kill her. The Tianmo Sect's target was now Zhu Ming.

One could also say that the Tianmo Sect was extremely angered by Lin Xuan and went to extremes.

"Lin Shujin?" Ye Shuangman smiled bitterly. "Didn't the Tianmo Sect find out that she's on the verge of death?"

"Young Master, be careful with your words. Zhu Ming was able to survive the interception this time thanks to Lin True Immortal's presence. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to protect this genius."

A dissatisfied True Immortal spoke up.

After all, they had arranged a marriage for Lin Shujin, but she had an accident and her time was running out. They even had to cancel the marriage. Now the other party was considering the sect's future and protecting the genius.

To casually mention this matter was unbecoming of an heir to a sect.

If it were someone else who was about to die, they wouldn't do these things.

"Since the Tianmo Sect dares to tear off their facade, then don't blame us for showing mercy. Ye Long True Immortal, take five True Immortals and go to Yunhai. Kill all the Tianmo disciples there. It must be fast, ruthless, and accurate. I will notify them to coordinate."

Ye Shuangman didn't say much about Lin Shujin's matter. Instead, she gave orders.

"Very well!" Ye Long True Immortal smiled.

He hadn't established his authority even after reaching the seventh level of Gold Core. This would be his first opportunity to establish his authority, and it happened to be a complete upheaval in Yunhai.

"Elder Mo, you take three True Immortals to Xianyuan and meet Zhu Ming."

Ye Shuangman looked at Mo Yu and nodded.

"Teng Shu, take ten thousand high-grade spirit stones to Shangzong. Ask them not to interfere in the affairs of the Ten Kingdoms. And if things go well, the previous agreement remains unchanged. Cangwu is willing to pay tribute every year!"

"What does Young Master mean?" Teng Shu asked, puzzled.

Ye Shuangman's ambition was soaring as she sneered, "Since the Tianmo Sect has torn off their facade, let's go all out and let the flames of war ignite."

"I want only one heaven in these Ten Kingdoms!"

...

In the sky above Yunhai, a powerful Gold Core aura suddenly filled the air, and a massive pressure enveloped the entire Cangwu Sect's camp.

"This is bad! We're under attack!"

The disciples of the Cangwu Sect looked at the overwhelming True Immortal aura with great fear.

They had received the message that tonight would be a night of extermination.

But they didn't expect the Tianmo Sect to strike first.

"The other party is not a fool. They have torn off their facade, so they know what the outcome will be," a Cangwu True Immortal whispered.

"Send a message back immediately. Ye Long True Immortal is already on his way. Tonight, blood will flow like a river!" another True Immortal said.

After speaking, the two True Immortals met and began to fight together.

"Daring!"

A thunderous voice sounded, and True Immortal Ye Long rushed over, single-handedly turning the tide of the battle that was gradually going in favor of Cangwu.

"Just because you have reached the seventh level of the Gold Core stage?" Another True Immortal from the Heaven Demon Sect arrived.

His aura was almost on par with True Immortal Ye Long, also at the seventh level of the Gold Core stage.

"Tonight, whoever escapes will be the loser. We fight to the death!" Ye Long stared at the True Immortal at the same level as him and charged towards him.

Boom!

Just as the battle between Cangwu and the Heaven Demon Sect was reaching its peak, a terrifying sword light suddenly flashed across the sky, with sword intent spreading in all directions.

"Is that Elder Zhi Jian? Elder Zhi Jian has arrived?" A disciple looked up in surprise.

"Elder Zhi Jian!" Countless Cangwu disciples who were engaged in the fight shouted with joy.

Ever since Elder Zhi Jian went to the Heaven Demon Sect alone, he had become a god-like figure in Cangwu over the past few years.

Not to mention the excitement of the Qi Refining and Foundation Building disciples, even the True Immortals showed joy in their eyes.

A sword light pierced through the heavens and the earth, instantly killing a True Immortal from the Heaven Demon Sect.

The blood of the Gold Core stage rained down.

"Bai Jingping, stop being so arrogant!" At this moment, two figures appeared on the battlefield, blocking out the sky.

"Master, Grand Elder!" The True Immortals from the Heaven Demon Sect also showed surprise. These two were both at the eighth level of the Gold Core stage!

...

Zhu Ming was ambushed that night.

The clouds turned into rivers of blood, and one True Immortal from Cangwu died in battle, with 300 Qi Refining disciples injured or killed, and 20 Foundation Building disciples killed.

The Heaven Demon Sect suffered heavy losses. Elder Zhi Jian, with his strength at the seventh level of the Gold Core stage, joined forces with True Immortal Ye Long to kill the enemy True Immortal at the seventh level of the Gold Core stage, resulting in a total of three True Immortals falling.

Afterwards, the Heaven Demon Sect fled in defeat, and the clouds and sea completely belonged to the Cangwu Sect.

"Good! Very good!" Ye Shuangman couldn't hide her smile when she heard the news.

She had no fear of Elder Zhi Jian, but instead respected him as the god of the Cangwu Sect.

Heaven Burial Mountain.

Chen Shen tightly gripped his shovel, his eyes filled with excitement.

The familiar scene of burying disciples appeared again, with the bodies of over two hundred dead disciples lying beside the heavenly bridge.

"The Young Sect Master has ordered that these disciples who died in battle be buried with great honors as a reward for their contributions."

Sun, the steward, sent fifteen disciples to help with the burial.

Chen Shen no longer had any connections, so he couldn't slack off like before.

But whether it was physical labor or not didn't matter anymore. The main thing was that he enjoyed collecting and burying the bodies.

Four days later.

The burial was successful! He obtained some spiritual roots and broke through to the top grade!

Boom!

It felt like something was completing inside his body.

Chen Shen felt as if he had opened the door to a new world, and his perspective on things had changed.

His mind became more open, and his affinity for spiritual energy increased several times over.

"Every pore in the body is like a gateway, and the spiritual roots are the central hub that controls these gateways. The better the quality of the spiritual roots, the wider the gateways open, and the faster the absorption of spiritual energy." Chen Shen murmured excitedly, gaining a deeper understanding of breathing in spiritual energy.

Originally, he estimated that it would take him a dozen or twenty years to break through to the perfect stage of the Gold Core. But now, at least half of that time had been shortened.

Moreover, from this moment on, Chen Shen's talent was no longer inferior to Mu Xiaojin's. Coupled with the Qing Emperor's Longevity Art, he would be even stronger in terms of cultivation speed.

"Chen Shen, what are you standing there for? Why aren't you coming over to work?"

Without Lu Changqing backing him up, these disciples who came to help naturally wouldn't give him face.

"I'm coming." Chen Shen put away his thoughts and responded.
