Chapter 124: Soul Transference Great Method

  "Heh heh, what brings you to find me?" Tian Hunzi forced out a faint smile.

  Guo Fei waved his hand and moved the skull staff out, saying: "Take a look at this place?"

  "Shouldn't you let me out? I can't see anything in the space of the Skull Staff." Tianhunzi's divine consciousness flowed.

  "Cut the nonsense, can your divine sense still penetrate the Skull Staff?" Guo Fei said calmly. In his heart, he was clear that this old man had ulterior motives and was not willing to be controlled by him. Moreover, he was extremely cunning, so he had to be careful.

  "I can see more clearly when I go out. There is a skull staff here, how dare I have any evil intentions?" Tianhunzi said with some resentment.

  "It's also, I suppose you don't dare. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite." Guo Fei smiled and with a wave of his skull staff, he released Tianhunzi.

  "Hiss!" Tianhunzi emerged, took a long breath, and the surrounding cold air currents suddenly rotated and converged on his body. Having not absorbed any energy for a long time, he was suddenly in contact with the heavenly yin energy, and instantly sucked it in like a beggar who had been starving for eight lifetimes.

  "Hurry up and take a look, what is this place? Otherwise, I'll send you back." Guo Fei saw that Tian Hunzi hadn't absorbed energy for hundreds of years, so he frantically absorbed energy. Suddenly, he became impatient and said.

  "What a land of absolute yin! What a pure and refined yin energy!" Tianhunzi suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed.

  "What does 'land of absolute yin' mean?" Guo Fei asked in surprise.

  "Two Yuan Refining Corpse Formation!" Tianhunzi didn't answer directly, but instead exclaimed in shock and surprise.

  "Old ghost, speak clearly, what do you mean." Guo Fei heard unclearly and hastily asked Tianhunzi.

  "How did you end up here, with a river running across the top and stone cliffs locking in the dragon on both sides, and the aura of death gathering from all directions. From the perspective of Feng Shui and geography, it's perfectly arranged, not a single mistake, the one who set up this tomb must be a great master of the art of death. This is something I've been thinking about for a long time but didn't have the ability to achieve." Tianhunzi spoke incoherently.

  "Old ghost, speak clearly." Guo Fei said in a urgent tone, not understanding what was being said.

  "So, what is it that a necromancer needs most? Do you know?"

  "This I naturally know, what is most needed are vengeful spirits, as long as there are powerful vengeful spirits, not only can they cast death spells, but also help them in battle."

  "He's right, but only halfway. What the vengeful spirits need most is a powerful undead puppet. With such a puppet, they can move about freely under the sun and travel across the land. Just like your vengeful spirit, it can fight in the sunlight. This place is exactly where one would cultivate an undead puppet. Using living people to seal and refine them into puppets in their graves, what a grand plan!" Tianhunzi exclaimed.

  "It's impossible, the corpse is just a dead body. Why did we see two blue-green long-haired humanoid monsters earlier that were impervious to swords and guns, with bodies as hard as fine steel?" Guo Fei thought this old swindler was cheating again, and immediately spoke in a cold voice.

  "You don't know, this method of refining is to seal living people in a tomb, some people have great resentment, and it's possible that at the moment when their life and soul disappear, the earth soul suddenly descends upon them, only then can they form a ghost cultivator. However, such a tomb must be sealed with extremely solid stones, and inside there are also many earth spirit stones. Such a ghost cultivator won't be able to break out of the tomb in just a few hundred years." Tianhunzi explained.

  "Old ghost, you're being ambiguous, explain it clearly." Guo Fei said in a low voice, not understanding.

  "Haha. I suspect that this tomb was set up by a necromancer during his lifetime, he carefully planned and cultivated the secret method, after his death, he passed on his memory to the earth soul, the earth soul cultivated successfully, once able to return here to get these corpses, can put the earth soul he captured into these corpses, becoming his own subordinates, getting powerful generals, this is a big move indeed!" Tianhunzi exclaimed.

  Guo Fei gradually figured out the plan, a death practitioner who was well-versed in the ghostly way had set up a backup plan for himself after becoming a ghost cultivator. Was it really possible that there were such masters in the world who could predict what would happen after death?

  Tianhunzi seemed to have noticed Guo Fei's confusion and smiled, saying: "I reckon it was set up by him when his life was about to end. As for whether he can come here after becoming a ghost cultivator in the ghost realm, the difficulty is extremely great, but I believe that this person must have grasped an extremely powerful ghost dao technique, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident as to waste so many people's efforts to set up this corpse refining array. He probably also gambled, if he wins, after becoming a ghost cultivator, he can still dominate the mainland."

  "Haha, but I don't believe it. The mainland is full of experts, what can you do with just these puppets?" Guo Fei said with a smile.

  "Haha, you're really ignorant. This kind of heaven-defying corpse puppet can't be obtained in the ghost realm. Although the yin energy in the ghost realm is dense, it's not pure, and when things reach an extreme, they will reverse. Places with absolute yin often exist in the yang world, just like how objects with extreme yang must exist in the ghost realm. Moreover, the five elements' original energy in the ghost realm is insufficient, making it difficult to preserve corpses. Only in places with absolute yin in the yang world, combined with dense earth attribute original energy, can a powerful corpse puppet that's impervious to swords and guns be refined. These corpse puppets have dense internal energy, robust bodies, and will continuously evolve. When they evolve to a certain extent, even sacred artifacts can't harm them. Add to that the fact that it practices ghost dao techniques... you tell me if it's not formidable." Tianhunzi said in a low voice.

  "Haha, a place like this is useless to us cultivators of the human tribe. Let's quickly eliminate those two corpse puppets and destroy this place before we leave." Guo Fei said with a thoughtful smile.

  "Guo Fei, if I give you a great opportunity, can you let me go?" Tian Hunzi's crimson eyes flashed.

  "What does it mean?" Guo Fei asked, taken aback.

  "I can use the Soul Transference Technique to transfer the yin souls of your ghostly soldiers into these corpse puppets, making them your subordinates. Will you agree to my request?" Tianhunzi said in a low voice.

  "Tianhunzi, don't haggle with me. You know my bottom line very well. I won't let you go unless I become strong enough to protect myself. If I let you go now, with your vengeful personality, wouldn't you immediately come after me for revenge?"

  Tianhunzi's body trembled as he wanted to say something, but Guo Fei immediately stopped him and said, "Don't make promises, I don't believe you."

  "Are you really going to give up on this great opportunity? Don't you want to increase the combat strength of your Ghost Soldier Squad?" Tianhunzi said in a low voice.

  "I'm thinking. Now that I'm being hunted by people everywhere, of course I want to increase my strength, but if I let you go, it would be even more dangerous for me, and you're well aware of that. However, if you help me complete these tasks, I'll consider giving you a certain amount of freedom. Don't forget, if I die, my consciousness will disperse, and the space will also disappear along with it. Since you're in my space, you'll naturally also disappear along with me. So, helping me is also helping yourself. Moreover, whether you acknowledge it or not, you're already tied to the same war chariot as me." Guo Fei said in a low voice.

  Tianhunzi was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I can help you complete this task, but you must agree to let me absorb energy to cultivate, and also, I want the best corpse puppet body."

  Guo Fei looked at Hu Xiaoyue and others, Hu Xiaoyue nodded slightly, Guo Fei thought for a long time, finally nodding heavily.

  "Go, enter the formation!" Tianhunzi said in a low voice.

  Guo Fei waved his hand and the two teams of corpse soldiers marched towards the tomb below.

  A loud rumble, a mass of fog burst out from around the tomb like a river bursting its banks, instantly enveloping everything, and even Guo Fei and others couldn't see very far.

  "Wooo!" In the fog, several figures were moving around inside, clearly more than just two monsters.

  "What's going on? These monsters can't even be killed with a slash of their sword." Hu Xiaoyue's face changed as she said.

  Guo Fei took a glance at Tianhunzi beside him and remained silent.

  "To deal with such a corpse, the simplest way is to enter its body and devour its soul. Although their physical bodies are strong, their souls may not be necessarily powerful. Let me go devour their souls." Tianhunzi said in a low voice.

  "Don't go yourself, I'll let them go!" Guo Fei was still a bit worried about Tianhunzi. With a wave of his hand, two ghostly guards, Ghost Warriors, charged into the fog with their skull-shaped staffs, and began to devour the soul bodies within these corpse puppets according to Guo Fei's command.

  Tianhunzi's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes revealed a covetous expression. These earth souls' energy was extremely pure and would be helpful in recovering its cultivation.

  "Sir, from now on, I, Tianhunzi, solemnly swear to assist you with all my might and will never have a second heart. If I do, let me become a ghost." Tianhunzi said in a deep and determined voice.

  "Old ghost, I know you can be flexible and have deep thoughts, but this young master is not a narrow-minded person either. Today, I'll trust you once, go!" Guo Fei waved his staff and released the restraints on him.

  Tianhunzi Huan let out a loud shout, his fog-like body suddenly surging forward as he rapidly charged into the mist to begin devouring the soul bodies within these corpse puppets.

  With the help of You Hunzi, it didn't take long for these monsters' souls to be swallowed up, and the mist gradually dispersed. In the middle of the tomb lay a dozen or so corpses.

  Kuo Fei took a closer look and saw that the clothes on these corpses were already tattered, some of which were covered with blue-green long hair, while others had none. Their bodies floated with a faint silver-white color, like a patient.

  "Why is it that some have long hair and others don't?" Guo Fei asked Tianhunzi.

  "The long-haired ones are semi-finished products, their bodies are comparable to fine steel but lack flexibility. Those that have shed their hair have reached the realm of returning to simplicity and truth, they are finished products, their bodies are not only more resilient but also no less flexible. The silver-white corpse is estimated to have just transformed from a silver corpse." Tianhunzi explained.

  "Is there a corpse in each of these tombs?" Guo Fei walked into the tomb and said in a low voice.

  "Not bad, if I'm not mistaken, there are a lot of earth spirit stones placed around the corpse in this tomb, combined with the absolute yin energy to nourish the corpse, making it extremely hard."

  Guo Fei nodded after hearing this and began to let Jiu Ling and Evil Spirit Battle Team pry open these tombs.

  As expected, just as Tiān Hún Zǐ had guessed, there was a corpse in the tomb, surrounded by piles of Tǔ Líng Shí. However, the Tǔ Líng Shí had been completely drained of its energy and would turn to dust with just a light touch. On the corpse's body, one could faintly see talismans drawn with Yāo Shòu's blood. The corpse was bound by ox hide thongs, and judging from the cruel state of death, it must have been buried alive in this tomb.

  Ninety-nine eighty-one tomb, excavated thirty-two high-end hairless corpses.

  "I'll use the Soul Transference Technique to switch bodies for your team!" Tianhunzi said, looking at all the opened graves, to Guo Fei.

  Guo Fei sank into thought for a moment, carefully looked at Tianhunzi, then nodded and found the lowest-level corpse soldier to let it out of line, starting to let Tianhunzi perform the Soul Transference Technique.

  The Heavenly Soul Child suddenly became cautious, and the corpse soldier was pressed onto the corpse puppet's body. The fog-like concrete transformed into a seal, and a large net condensed from the dark energy in the air suddenly covered the two bodies.

  Guo Fei only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a faint shadow was pulled out from the corpse soldier's body, imprinted on the corpse puppet below.
