After a brief rest, Chu Xuan approached the remaining wandering demons once again and used the heart to lure them. Once more, over ten demons were attracted and rushed toward him.The cycle continued. Not long after, all one hundred or so demons were slain, their skulls shattered and scattered across the ground. All the Corpse Demon Pearls were now safely in Chu Xuan's possession. He grinned broadly."Good, good, good."The number of pearls he had gathered that day far surpassed the few days' worth of effort he'd put in earlier. It was clear: patiently collecting Corpse Demon Pearls the regular way could never compare to having the right tool to speed things up.On the other side, Bai Tianhe, Shang Xingchen, Xia Shi, and the others had reached a relatively safe area. After dealing with a few reckless corpse demons that foolishly charged at them, the group finally let out a sigh of relief. They hastily consumed healing elixirs to quickly recover from their wounds. The atmosphere became

The Skinless Ape bared its teeth, but it was clearly terrified of Shang Xingchen's poison techniques. After all, it had been poisoned by him earlier, only to be saved afterward. After some thought, it grudgingly guarded the area, unwilling to take any chances....Meanwhile, Chu Xuan shook his head lightly. He had, of course, noticed that something was off with Shang Xingchen, possibly hiding some injuries. But in the end, he chose not to act. As he had said before, the risks did not outweigh the rewards. This was a losing deal, and he wouldn't make such a trade.Besides, Shang Xingchen was still quite a useful ally. Within the Eight Extremes Palace, he and Shang Xingchen would undoubtedly exchange information many times over."This information is extremely important. First, it provides the exact location of the Melting Heaven Hall's inheritance, along with the method to open it. Secondly, it points to a gathering place for a large number of corpse demons, allowing me to speed up the

The corpse demons that remained now only had the strength of around the thirty-seventh level of body refinement. However, recently, some of these corpse demons, after consuming cultivators, had started to gain strength rapidly.Chu Xuan had encountered a corpse demon equivalent to the thirty-eighth level of body refinement. Once, he even encountered one at the fortieth level! If things continued this way, the corpse demons would regain even greater power, which would be extremely detrimental to him.At that moment, Chu Xuan noticed a strange mark beneath a broken pillar. It was a small skull, not very noticeable."Hmm? Could this be a mark left by someone?" Chu Xuan was immediately intrigued.A sudden flash of insight crossed his mind, and he quickly stepped back. To his surprise, he found a similar mark at the place he had passed earlier.Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. Although he didn't know who had left the mark, it was certainly worth following. He quickly moved through the ruins, tr

After reading through the Spiritual Sense Jade Slip, Chu Xuan fell into deep thought. Zhao Xuan's promise could be set aside for now, but what really drew his attention were the other two critical pieces of information she had left behind.First, Zhao Xuan mentioned that the number of Corpse Demons would not change over time; their numbers remained constant, but it took an extended period for them to fully recover. The more Corpse Demons died, the stronger the remaining Corpse Demons would become. She observed that they grew stronger when facing powerful foes and weaker against the weak.When a large number of Corpse Demons died, more formidable Great Corpse Demons would appear. These Great Corpse Demons were at least at the Forty-First Stage of Body Refining, and Zhao Xuan speculated that, with even more time, their strength could continue to grow, possibly reaching the Forty-Second, Forty-Third, or even higher stages—potentially an infinite progression. She herself had once been sur

The winds howled furiously, and the dust soon cleared. A massive crater now marked the ground, and a figure suddenly burst from the pit's depths, hovering in mid-air—it was Moon True Master. His once immaculate white robe was utterly shattered, no longer bearing the semblance of a sage. Now, only tattered clothes clung to his robust, muscular frame. Covered in wounds, these healed at a visibly rapid rate.Moon True Master looked down at Chu Xuan, his expression grim. He had three Sea Boiling Pills passed down from his ancestors—potent medicinal pellets concocted by body cultivators of the Boiling Sea Hall, designed to explosively augment one's blood energy temporarily.These pills not only healed injuries but also enhanced strength. However, they had a significant drawback: they only lasted for half an hour. After the effect wore off, one would suffer from debilitating weakness for ten days and drop five minor cultivation levels, accompanied by severe bodily pain. In a bygone era, oth
