Translator: 549690339
Upon learning this information, Immortal Corpse’s breathing became much more rapid.
This contains the secret to becoming an immortal!
Who was Yan zu?
An unparalleled demon that emerged eight hundred years ago, stepping on countless Immortal Sect geniuses.
In just a hundred years, he suppressed an era and established the Yan Dynasty. It prospered for a full two hundred years. Even though it could not withstand tne erosion or lime arter live nunarea years ana Decame extinct, yan Lus greatness is undeniable.
Five hundred years ago, he was just an ordinary devil cultivator disciple of the Corpse Tomb Sect, sweeping the entrance of the sect.
He could only listen to his Senior Brothers discussing the legendary figure who suppressed both the Immortals and Devils.
Those times have passed now.
Such an unparalleled figure as Yan Zu has long since disappeared, as if he were missing.
Five hundred years later, as the sect master, he gets to hear news about the Ancestral Weapon firsthand.
At this moment, Immortal Corpse felt that he had never been so close to Yan Zu in his entire life.
Moreover, with the immortal path severed, there are fewer and fewer top cultivators in this world—one less with each death.
Half of his own lifespan had already passed as well.
The only chance for him to become immortal lies in the Yan Ancestral Weapon.
So many years have been spent stuck in the Rebirth Realm.
If he could decipher the secrets of the Ancestral Weapon, perhaps he might break through his bottleneck.
Having understood all this, Immortal Corpse was already tempted, and he calmly asked:
“Why would you come to me if you truly have information about the Ancestral Weapon?”
He was well aware that the other party would not tell him such precious information out of the blue.
The Bloody Immortal Sect must have some request.
The man in the bloody robe smiled slightly and said, “You are being too modest, Senior. Naturally, we all want the Ancestral Weapon to fall into our hands, so fighting amongst ourselves would be unwise; but other people do not think so.”
“Senior, do you know about the old fiend of Netherworld?”
Upon hearing this name, Immortal Corpse was slightly startled and said in a deep voice:
“I, of course, know about that old monster. He was cautious and never showed his face. He relied solely on a possession secret technique to seize the bodies of talented sect disciples. He killed people and snatched treasures, relying on this trick to live thousands of years. He was a true old monster and ranked first on the Immortal Sect’s hit list.”
The man in the bloody robe nodded earnestly, “That’s right, Sect Master received information recently that traces of the Netherworld Devil were found in the westernmost land. Corpses were everywhere in the surrounding villages, so he must have been heading south.”
“He must have learned about the birth of the Rightful King of the Yan and is after the Yan’s Ancestral Weapon.”
The man in the bloody robe smiled faintly.
“I nearly forgot!”
Immortal Corpse slapped his head, and immediately remembered.
Within the Bloody Immortal Sect, they trained the Bloody Treasured Spiritual Rats to specialize in finding spiritual objects, locating them based on their qi.
Originally, they were used to lock onto prey with high blood essence concentration, as the training of the Bloody Immortal Sect required a large amount of blood, the higher the essence concentration, the better.
Later, it also developed into a tool for treasure hunting and tracking down people.
The essence of the Yan Country’s national fortune lies within the descendants of the Yan. As long as the Yan bloodline is found and traced through essence and blood, the Rightful King of the Yan can be found!
Even if the essence and blood are diluted, it’s fine, they just need to find the general direction, and that’s enough.
Immortal Corpse was suspicious, “I remember that the Bloody Treasured Spiritual Rat is extremely precious, and only by using the essence and blood of cultivators above the Rebirth Realm could they be successfully trained.” Although this condition sounds simple, it’s actually extremely harsh.
Every cultivator in the Rebirth Realm is a hundred -year-old cunning fox. Trying to kill them is as difficult as reaching for the sky.
Even if they’re killed, their Rebirth Realm spirit could still escape.
Raising a spiritual rat is not an easy thing.
The man in the bloody robe smiled, “There is only one remaining Bloody Treasured Spiritual Rat in our Sect Master’s residence, and that’s absolutely enough.”
Immortal Corpse nodded his head, “That’s good. Everything is ready; all we lack now is the essence and blood of the Yan royal family.”
“This is too easy, after a hundred years of Yan Country’s establishment, there are many bloodline descendants scattered throughout the human world. I have already sent my disciples from the sect to search.”
The man in the bloody robe chuckled.
Immortal Corpse looked deeply at him, and couldn’t help but admire the Bloody Immortal Sect Master’s devotee’s methods.
This man in the bloody robe was Yang Yuan, the senior disciple of the Bloody Immortal Sect, leader of the Eight Blood Vessels, and a considerate, humble person. He was definitely capable of taking over the Bloody Immortal Sect. Otherwise, the matter of forming an alliance with the Devil Sects wouldn’t have been entrusted to him.
“How many people have been mobilized this time for the Ancestral Weapon?” Immortal Corpse asked.
The senior disciple of the Bloody Immortal Sect, Yang Yuan, stretched out two fingers.
“So many?”
Immortal Corpse looked astonished.
This number was definitely over a hundred.
“When a lion fights a rabbit, it still uses its full strength,
Yang Yuan said slowly.
“The Rightful King of the Yan is not a helpless mortal, nor a rabbit. There must be a large number of Immortal Sect people guarding him.” Immortal Corpse nodded in agreement and asked again, “When are we setting off?”
“We will leave now. Let’s take a trip to the Mortal World.”
