I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 54: Gold Core, Third Level

"What a brilliant method!"

The Peak Master of the Formation Peak walked into the formation eye with a formation plate, inspecting the arrangement of the nested formations around the formation eye. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He was also a grandmaster of formations, but compared to the person who arranged these nested formations, he felt inferior.

"Could it be the work of one of the elders from my Formation Peak?"

"We can think about these minor matters later. Let's return to the sect first. We will hold a celebration banquet tonight," Ye Shuangman said.

Then, the Heavenly Formation dissipated, and warships sailed towards the First Peak.

Heaven Burial Mountain, a giant ship flew through the sky.

Chen Shen quickly left the courtyard and scanned with his divine sense, finding the disciples who died in battle on the ship.

From Qi Refining to Gold Core True Immortal, they were all there.

But this time, he didn't need to help collect the bodies and bury them. Three thousand bodies were personally buried by two True Immortals.

"For the sect's sacrifice, all disciples' families should be treated well, and they should be buried with the true teachings. The True Immortals have worked hard and made great contributions. They died for the future of Cangwu. They should be worshipped every year when entering the tomb," one of the True Immortals said, his voice echoing deep within Heaven Burial Mountain.

Boom!

Immediately after, one of the True Immortals made a move, and thousands of rays of light flashed, revealing graves on the ground.

The other True Immortal was carving a stele, multitasking at an extremely fast speed.

After more than half an hour, all the bodies were buried, and a large plain rose with numerous tombs.

"Please have the undertakers offer incense and kowtow to them!" the True Immortal spoke.

Chen Shen had long been prepared below, holding lit incense to kowtow and insert into these tombs.

"Tomorrow, the Young Sect Master will lead everyone to come and pay respects. I hope you will be there early in the morning," the True Immortal said coldly before leaving.

"By the way, there will be a celebration for the entire sect tonight, with a grand feast. You can come and join us," the other True Immortal added before leaving.

"I won't go unless I'm forced to," Chen Shen replied in his heart.

He patted his swollen belly and sprinkled some soil when he inserted the incense.

Most of these disciples had low-grade or incomplete spiritual roots, so they didn't provide much benefit to high-grade spiritual roots. But by collecting more, their spiritual roots would improve faster.

In the evening, the First Peak was brightly lit, with lanterns and decorations, and the lights illuminated the clouds.

He used his divine sense to investigate and saw the True Immortals taking their seats, while the disciples sang and danced. Ye Shuangman sat on the high platform, extremely proud, as if he held the world in his hands.

"Aren't you going to celebrate, Junior Brother? There are rich delicacies prepared at the banquet," Mu Xiaojin asked.

"Why aren't you going, Senior Sister?" Chen Shen saw her sitting on a branch of an old tree beside the courtyard.

Her bare feet swung down, snow-white and delicate, with toes like tender lotus shoots, and her ankles were just right, exquisitely beautiful.

"The festivities are for them," she said crisply.

"Likewise, I'm not familiar with everyone, so I wouldn't know who to congratulate or wish well if I went," Chen Shen nodded.

The next day, the familiar ritual activities took place again, with the Young Sect Master giving an impassioned speech, his eyes filled with grief.

One month later.

The genius Zhu Ming returned to the sect and had already reached the late stage of Foundation Building.

He didn't achieve a high ranking in the Hundred Nations Immortal Fate, but he did gain some significant opportunities.

"This is a technique bestowed by the forces hosting the Immortal Fate. It is stronger than the Blue Lotus Immortal Law, but unfortunately, I was told not to pass it on, otherwise I would share it with my Master," Zhu Ming proudly showed the technique he had cultivated to Ye Shuangman.

When he returned, many forces also invited him to join, but he refused.

The competition among disciples in major forces was even fiercer. He would rather be a leader than a follower. In Cangwu Sect, he could still be the eldest senior brother, and resources were not lacking.

"I have almost surpassed my master in cultivation, not bad," Ye Shuang said with a smile.

Three days later, Zhu Ming was promoted to the position of Senior Brother Cangwu, and there was another lively celebration.

"I didn't expect this kid to be so reckless, accomplishing something his father never dared to do. I wonder if his father will be happy or worried when he returns," Mo Yu Zhenjun's opinion of Ye Shuang had also changed somewhat.

In the blink of an eye, spring came and winter followed, and another year passed.

Boom!

In the underground palace, Chen Shen's Gold Core, which was the size of a pigeon egg, shone brightly and became more refined.

"Third level of the Gold Core!" He opened his eyes and took a deep breath of spiritual energy.

After breaking through to the third level, his spirit became even stronger, and the aura emanating from his body far surpassed that of an ordinary Gold Core.

Buzz!

Chen Shen formed a sword with his fingers, and a sword intent that integrated the essence of the spring and summer sword techniques appeared, accompanied by the simultaneous appearance of the sun and rain.

Bang!

The sword energy pierced through the ground, leaving several holes over a yard deep.

"It takes a year to integrate the two sword techniques, but to truly master the Four Seasons Sword Technique, all four seasons must be integrated. The road ahead is long, and I must continue to work hard," he murmured to himself.

"However, with my current strength, I'm afraid I can kill a mid-stage Gold Core existence with a single sword strike."

"I have become arrogant. I should take a cold shower to calm down."

In this year, peace and prosperity reigned in the Cangwu Sect.

After acquiring the assets of the Tianmo Sect, the Cangwu Immortal Sect had already unified ten countries, and resources from all over were continuously sent to the First Peak.

With the sect well-fed, the disciples naturally enjoyed benefits as well. The stipends of each disciple doubled, and their treatment improved significantly.

Everyone in the sect benefited from this, but Chen Shen's workload of collecting corpses decreased sharply.

With the increased benefits of the sect, conflicts diminished, and naturally, the number of deaths decreased.

Even some disciples found that their monthly stipends were enough for cultivation, so they chose to relax and not take on tasks or compete for opportunities in secret realms.

In this aspect, the Cangwu Sect was gradually catching up with the Heavenly Dynasty.

"The Cangwu Sect is stable and peaceful. My significance here is no longer great. I should first reach the Nascent Soul stage to have the power to protect myself, and then find a larger sect to continue reaping the benefits of collecting corpses," Chen Shen made a decision in his heart.

He had already reached the limit of the four arts of cultivation in the Cangwu Immortal Sect. He had no worries about resources no matter where he went, and with his cultivation improving, these four arts also needed to advance further.

He became stronger for the sake of immortality and had become an all-around cultivator thanks to the system.

"I have complete experience in the cultivation path of the Gold Core stage, and there are no bottlenecks in my breakthrough. I estimate that I can reach perfection within ten years. However, I don't know the difficulty and time required to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. If it is too difficult, then the plan will have to change."

"The foundation for eternity, I have achieved it!"

At the peak of the First Peak, Ye Shuang looked down at the entire Cangwu Sect and said to himself, his face devoid of joy or sorrow.

From the time he temporarily took charge of the Cangwu Sect, many True Immortals were dissatisfied with him, but now they praised him for unifying ten countries in just a few years.

The foundation that was originally lacking in him as a top-tier genius had also been replenished, and the sect's resources and strength had increased significantly.

Many people believed that he was more suitable for the position of Sect Master than his father, and there were even rumors circulating recently.

They felt that if Ye Chen were to return, he should abdicate and Ye Shuang would be worthy of being the Sect Master.

Sometimes, he himself had fleeting thoughts. If his father returned a few more years later, or...

However, just after he had conquered a vast territory, he received news of his father Ye Chen.

"The Young Sect Master is overjoyed. The Sect Master has contacted me and will be leaving the Immortal Mansion and returning soon!"

This was what Uncle Teng had told him a few days ago.

First revision, second revision before 11 o'clock, irregular updates.
