Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 156: Chapter 137 Corpse Transformation 1

Translator: 549690339 I          —

Her face looked like a crown jewel, brimming with valor. Even with her eyes closed, even as a corpse, she exuded an immense majesty.

The number one Loose Cultivator of the Outer Sea, Lu Jingkong, was actually a woman!

To be honest, Xu Mu had not expected this at all.

What was even more unexpected was that her corpse had fallen into the hands of the Iron Corpse Superior.

According to the memory of the Iron Corpse Superior, half a year ago, the Iron Corpse Gang’s patrol team stumbled upon a secret realm. After struggling to enter, they found this body.

Why do I say body?

Because her body was immaculate, but her Nascent Soul and divine spirit had vanished without a trace.

Later, they found her identity badge on her body, revealing her identity. As it turns out, this matter had a not-so-small connection with him.

Because the patrol team was able to discover the secret realm due to their underwater patrol. And the reason for the underwater patrol was to avoid the sneak attacks by the Sea Race he was impersonating.

It’s fair to say that this was a stroke of irony!

What puzzled Xu Mu was, wasn’t it said that Lu Jingkong perished due to madness induced by practicing the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill?

How did she end up in this secret realm all of a sudden?

The people of the Iron Corpse Gang were equally puzzled, but they were unable to find the answers.

Lu Jingkong was a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage. For the Iron Corpse Superior who practiced corpse cultivation, she was simply an invaluable treasure.

If he could turn her into a refined corpse, he could probably have the battle capacity of Golden Core Stage right away.

He, himself, could even hope to breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage by drawing nourishment from the refined corpse.

Hence, the Iron Corpse Superior immediately abandoned all his other tasks and began collecting materials everywhere to devote himself to refining the corpse.

However, refining a Nascent Soul Stage corpse into a refined one was far from easy. The Iron Corpse Superior spent a substantial amount of resources and half a year of time, but only managed to make a slight progress. To completely succeed, it would take at least three to five years, so they shouldn’t think about it otherwise.

Although three to five years sounds like a long time for ordinary people, it is just a blink of an eye for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Exchanging three to five years for a refined corpse at the Golden Core Stage, the Iron Corpse Superior could even wake up laughing from a dream. Unfortunately, his dream just started when Xu Mu extinguished it.

The partially refined corpse now belonged to Xu Mu.

However, looking at this invaluable corpse at this moment, Xu Mu was quite troubled.

Because —

She moved!

Her body quivered slightly from time to time, as if she could wake up at any moment.

With the Iron Corpse Superior forcibly driving the corpse before it was fully refined, this caused unpredictable changes in the body.

If it is allowed to continue, it might really wake up.

After all, the Yin Sha Qi in surroundings was potent; even an ordinary corpse, if left for a long time, could turn into a zombie, let alone a Nascent Soul corpse that had been refined for half a year.

With the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage body, as long as the corpse transformation was completed, it could instantly possess the battle capacity of the Golden Core Stage.

If no one eliminates it, all the nearby gangs would be doomed.

A refined corpse at a Golden Core Stage, with massive potential for the future, would be quite a pity to be destroyed.

“Let’s try to refine it first!”

If he could refine and control it, Xu Mu wouldn’t mind exploring the corpse art and fully develop it.

Xu Mu placed his hand on the forehead of the corpse, began to operate the Controlling Corpse Skill, divided a thread of Divine Intent to inject into it. After a moment, his face suddenly turned pale and quickly took his hand off.

Looking at the evil aura stained on his hand, he helplessly shook his head.

The body of this corpse was filled with overly concentrated Yin Sha Qi and a large amount of blood evil left from absorbing vital essence. The two forces conflicted and merged inside, making it impossible for Xu Mu’s Divine Intent to enter.

If it were a corpse cultivator, they could use their Spiritual Power to slowly adjust and dissolve the two evil forces.

Unfortunately, the Martial Method that Xu Mu practiced was absolutely contrary to this.

How could water and fire coexist?

“Better to destroy it after all!”

Although it was a bit of a waste, it was always better than letting it harm people.

Crackle!

Xu Mu squeezed the Finger Jue, displayed the Thunder Divine Skills, condensed a golden thunderbolt, and struck towards the corpse of Lu Jingkong in the blood coffin.

Hum!

As if sensing the crisis, a layer of black light automatically radiated from Lu Jingkong’s corpse, blocking the thunderbolt.

“This corpse is really full of potential, it even self-defends!”

Xu Mu couldn’t help but exclaim.

However, while verbally praising, his actions remain determined. Another thunderbolt condenses and he bombards it without hesitation.

The dark light curtain fluctuates dramatically, about to be split open.

“Huh?”

Just as Xu Mu was preparing to summon another thunderbolt, he suddenly stopped.

Because he noticed that the Yin Sha Qi in the entire underground palace was rushing towards the corpse at an extremely fast speed.

“Could it be sensing a crisis and trying to wake up early?”

“Could it still retain consciousness?”

Xu Mu suddenly felt there was something odd about the corpse, he summoned the Blue Bird to get ready for a joint attack.

The Blue Bird spits out flames, almost covering the entire corpse.

Meanwhile, Xu Mu continued to call upon his thunderbolts.

However, the layer of dark light curtain, an unknown skill condensed, is incredibly resilient, and hasn’t been broken through even after a prolonged attack.

The speed at which the Yin Sha Qi in the underground palace was gathering increased because of his attacks.

Xu Mu stopped attacking, tried to move the coffin, aiming to disrupt the layout of the entire underground palace.

But he found the coffin perfectly integrated with the Formation of the underground palace, it couldn’t be moved unless he destroyed it or tore down the entire underground palace.

He wanted to get the corpse out, but was blocked by the dark light curtain and was similarly unsuccessful.

“Should I just give up and leave it here?”

Just thinking about it could not be a solution.

Because either her naturally awakening or being refined by the Iron Corpse Gang would all be beneficial to him.

Just when Xu Mu was worried, the layer of dark light curtain suddenly dissipated, and the surrounding Yin Sha Qi also returned to normal.

“Huh?”

An unusual expression appeared on Xu Mu’s face, a flicker in his eyes, he reached out and easily grabbed the clothes of the corpse.

“Was it a stress response just now?”

Xu Mu thought to himself.

But just as he was about to lift the corpse out of the coffin, the layer of dark light curtain appeared again, rejecting his hand. After a while, it disappeared again.

“It really was a stress response!”

Xu Mu cupped his chin and started thinking.

Initially, he was worried that the opponent would wake up immediately, but now it seemed that it wouldn’t be waking up any time soon, which gave him ample time to think calmly.

However, after thinking about it, there was no good solution, until he saw the ashes of the Iron Corpse Superior.

I m such a fool! I should have just copied the answer, why am I bothering to think here!”

Xu Mu ridiculed himself, immediately took out the Iron Corpse Superior’s storage bag, and started refining it.

Because the Iron Corpse Superior was undeniably dead, the storage bag was quickly refined, and Xu Mu took out everything inside one by one.

Twenty-seven top-grade Spirit Stones!

More than five thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones!

Over a dozen bottles of pills to assist in cultivation!

A jade slip!

More than twenty secret books!

A small pile of miscellaneous materials and clothes!

“Miser!”

Although Xu Mu knew from the retrieved memories that the Iron Corpse Superior spent most of his savings on refining this corpse, he couldn’t help but curse after looking at his possessions.

This was the head of a faction, yet he was so impoverished!

Luckily, the secret book he wanted was found!

His Divine Intent probed into the jade slip, and a huge amount of information was transmitted into his mind.

It took him a while to receive everything.

It wasn’t a cultivation method recorded inside, but a method for refining and nurturing corpses.

“Mystery Yin Refining Corpse Skill!”
