I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Two months later.

After sorting out what he had gained, Wei Tu ended his retreat. He removed the restrictions on the cave and prepared to say goodbye to Lou Mingyue.

However, something unexpected happened.

Lou Mingyue, the Palace Master of Jianhuo Palace, had actually packed his bags and was ready to leave.

Of course, this woman did not leave with him, but went with Gong Shulan.

As for the position of Palace Master, this woman did not give up, but instead selected a Yuanying from the Lou family and appointed her as Deputy Palace Master. After she left, she would manage all affairs in the Jianhuo Palace on her behalf.

"Since Senior Wen has already said that Jianhuo Palace is not a safe place, it would be too stupid for me to continue staying here..." Lou Mingyue said with a relaxed smile.

Wei Tu certainly knew about this. What surprised him was that Lou Mingyue and Gong Shulan were traveling together - although the two were good friends, their relationship did not seem to have reached the point where they would trust each other with life and death.

Compared to Gong Shulan, it would be more appropriate for Lou Mingyue to go to the Holy Buddha Temple and seek shelter from her nominal master, Master Lan.

However, everyone has their own considerations, and he has no right to interfere with others in this matter.

Perhaps in Lou Mingyue's view, Gong Shulan is more trustworthy and safer.

"Where will Fellow Daoist Gong travel next?"

Wei Tu turned his head and looked at Gong Shulan beside him, and asked after a pause.

However, this was just his public statement. In private, he told Gong Shulan that he and Lou Mingyue were not that close yet, and asked her to remember not to reveal his identity and the various secrets of the Da Cang cultivation world easily.

It's not that he is narrow-minded and intolerant.

But only by being careful can you sail safely for a long time.

Monks who were not careful in their conduct would have died from various causes long ago.

"Of course I remember this." Gong Shulan nodded slightly and replied softly.

She knew the reason why Wei Tu killed the Lord of Bliss, so she naturally did not dare to turn a blind eye to it.

After greeting the two women, Wei Tu did not stay in the Jianhuo Palace for long. With the light of escape, he disappeared into the sky in an instant, without a trace.

……

After leaving Jianhuo Palace, Wei Tu did not leave the Central Region. Instead, he changed his direction and went to a famous dangerous place in the Central Region of Dayan - the Evil Land of Sinking Corpses.

This time he came to the evil land of corpses, not for Ling Jiangzi's inheritance. Although he was jealous of this cultivator's combined inheritance, he would not run here and waste his energy and time.

What he was really planning to seize was the "corpse zombie" at the god-transformation level in the Secret Palace of Spiritual Zombies.

——In the war between the two tribes, the "Qianjun Spirit Doll" he took from Pei Hong was only the "core hub" of the heterodox corpse refining, not a real corpse refining.

In order to unleash the power of the "Qianjun Spirit Doll", one must match it with the corresponding external corpse.

In the human world, only the refined corpses in the Secret Palace of Lingzhang can catch his eye, and they are the refined corpses of the external sects equipped with the sixth-level spiritual object "Qianjun Lingou".

Two days later, Wei Tu arrived at the Secret Palace of Zombies hidden in the "inner area" of the evil land of sunken corpses with ease.

Just like before, there are still two zombie guards in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm guarding outside the gate of the underground palace. After all, according to the rules of this evil land of corpses, the zombie guards here will "resurrect" once in a while.

In other words, the two zombie guards guarding outside are not real zombies, but just creations of the "Law of Spirit Zombies". They belong to the "Law-based Corpse Refining" rather than the external zombie refining.

Without the external environment of the corpse-sinking evil land, these two zombie guards will disappear into thin air on their own.

The "corpse zombie" that Wei Tu was looking for in the Lingjiang Secret Palace was definitely not this kind of "corpse refined by law".

After taking a glance at the two zombie guards with low intelligence, he flicked his sleeves and immediately summoned the [Thunder Snake Flag] and the Fiery Stone Mirror.

After a simple gesture, the [Thunder Snake Flag] immediately transformed into a green dragon with bared fangs and claws, carrying the spiritual flame spewed out by the fiery red stone mirror, and attacked the zombie guard on the left.

As for the remaining zombie guard, he did not use his magic treasure to fight against it. Instead, he flashed forward and fought with the zombie with pure body refining.

In this way, not only can he increase his experience in fighting enemies, but he can also take the opportunity to comprehend the "Spirit Zombie Law" within the body of this zombie guard at close range.

About half a day.

Under the continuous attack, the zombie guards attacked by the "Razer Essence" were the first to collapse and disappeared into thin air.

Although Wei Tu was a little slower, the battle was over quickly.

Then, the door of the underground palace slowly opened.

It was still that narrow corridor that could only accommodate one person, and at the end of the corridor was the two-story attic.

However, unlike the previous expeditions with human puppets, Wei Tu came alone this time. In addition, he had the internal intelligence of the underground palace given by Lou Mingyue, so he only used his spiritual sense to carefully explore it several times before he personally walked into this "soon-sealed" underground palace.

Open the small silver door hidden deep in the attic.

The scenery began to change instantly.

Like space teleportation, several layers of space changes had already occurred before the satellite map was completely settled.

What was in front was no longer a corridor, but a rather wide and empty stone hall, like an underground hollow, with dozens of stone pillars several feet thick supporting the dome.

There were also many dead bodies scattered on the ground. Judging from their clothes, most of them were cultivators from the Xianling Sect and the Jianhuo Palace.

I am quite familiar with the aura patterns of these monks.

They were all the assassins sent into the underground palace by Lou Shiwang and Qi Yaoxian during the last expedition.

A small number of monks wore the costumes of the Ghost Shadow Palace.

Obviously, these were the subordinates who unfortunately died when the Ghost King broke into the Lingjiang Secret Palace decades ago.

Although the time of death was different, the conditions of the two groups of monks were very similar. Their skin seemed to have been peeled off alive, with only bloody flesh and no intact skin at all.

"Teleported to the Skinning Cave?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately held up the "Yangpo Immortal Robe" to protect his whole body as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

According to Lou Mingyue's information, in addition to the "Chenzhi Pavilion" where the coffin of the Lingjiang child is placed at the end, there are a total of five dangerous places inside the Lingjiang Secret Palace, corresponding to the five steps of corpse refining.

The five dangerous places are the furnace drying room, the blood-letting area, the skinning cave, the evisceration room, and the corpse storage cave.

The five dangerous places change at any time under the operation of the space formation. After stepping into the silver door of the attic, you will immediately enter a large dangerous place.

However, the most annoying thing was that even if he entered the third dangerous place, the "Skinning Cave", he still had to pass through the "Drying Furnace Room" and "Bleeding Place" one by one before he could reach the final main palace - the Corpse Chamber.

Fortunately, his current strength is much stronger than Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai who broke into this place that year, so he can still protect himself.

However, if you want to obtain the "refined corpse" hidden deep in the dangerous area, you have to put in a little more effort.

The realm of the refined corpses in these dangerous places is similar to that of the zombie guards outside the underground palace, all of them are in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. But the difference is that these refined corpses are from the outer sects, their strength matches their realm, and they are not comparable to the zombie guards.

Moreover, compared to the ordinary zombie guards, the refined corpses in the five dangerous places all have corresponding magical powers and secret skills. They are the "strange corpses" among the refined corpses and their strength is extraordinary.

"The corpses in the bloodletting area and the corpse-raising cave have been destroyed by Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai. Now only the corpses in the oven room, the skinning cave, and the viscera removal room are left... Of course, the premise is that the ghost king Li who came in later did not destroy these corpses."

Wei Tu closed his eyes tightly, a green light flashed between his eyebrows, and he began to use the "Hun'e Evil Eye" to detect the movements around him.

But soon, he was greatly disappointed by the result. He did not find the corresponding refined corpse in this "skinning cave". The cave was empty except for the corpses of the monks from the three sects in front of him.

This made him feel something was wrong.

He found the right position and direction, and in a flash of light, he rushed out of the "Skinning Cave" and entered the next dangerous place.

The second dangerous place is the "Corpse-Raising Cave". There are gusts of cold wind in the cave and faint sounds of wolves crying and ghosts howling.

However, this place just looks eerie, and the spiritual fluid and base used to raise corpses have long been dug out.

Fortunately, Wei Tu's luck was pretty good. When he arrived at the third dangerous place, the "baking furnace room", he finally found the corpse hidden there.

This refined corpse was dark blue in color, with an iron face and fangs. When it breathed in and out spiritual energy, cold vapor surrounded its body.

——Corpse refining belongs to Yin, so the step of "baking the furnace" is naturally different from what ordinary people think of as a baking furnace. It is done by steaming spiritual water with Yin properties to remove the Yang Qi from the body.

Rather than baking it with a strong fire.

However, unlike the intelligence, the realm of the corpse in the baking furnace room has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and its intelligence seems to be quite high.

After seeing that he was not someone to be trifled with, he hid deep in the cave, completely concealing his aura.

“Has this corpse been possessed by someone?” Wei Tu used his Hun'e Evil Eye to investigate again and soon found something strange on the corpse.

Unlike ordinary corpses, the corpse he found in the "drying furnace room" actually had a soul inside!
Moreover, the aura of this spirit is surprisingly similar to the aura of the Lord of Bliss when he used the "Ghost Shadow Technique".

However, the realm of the soul inside this refined corpse is very weak, only at the level of quasi-godhood.

His eyes flashed for a moment, and Wei Tu quickly figured out the origin of the soul inside the corpse being refined in the furnace room.

If he guessed correctly, this soul should be the soul of a quasi-god-transforming cultivator in the Ghost Shadow Palace. Unfortunately, he died when he followed the Ghost King into the dangerous "baking furnace room". When he was in danger, he used the "Ghost Shadow Technique" to take over the body of the god-transforming corpse in the baking furnace room.

It sounds unimaginable that a quasi-god can take over the bodies of already-refined gods and refine corpses, but you have to know that the masters of these refined corpses, Ling Jiangzi, had died many years ago!
There are completely two levels of difficulty when dealing with possession of a body for a spirit-refining corpse that is not controlled by anyone and for a spirit-refining corpse that is controlled by someone.

Of course, this situation may not be consistent with his speculation, but no matter what, he only needs to capture the corpse and search its soul.

Thinking of this, Wei Tu did not hesitate, and immediately sacrificed the [Thunder Snake Flag] and the Fiery Stone Mirror, and controlled the "Thunder Snake Spirit" to attack the refined corpse hidden deep underground.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After seeing Wei Tu's precise attack, this divine corpse would no longer hide foolishly. After its expression changed in a humane way, it flew out of the ground, opened its mouth and spit out streams of smelly black water, which turned into countless arrows and shot towards the Thunder Snake Spirit and Wei Tu in the distance.

This attack seems simple, but when the smelly black water falls on the ground, it instantly turns into countless steam, spreading and diffusing in all directions.

Even a magic shield at the level of a god cannot withstand the corrosion of the black water and will be completely melted away in an instant.

However, this black water is still not enough in front of Wei Tu and Razer Spirit.

The former is the fifth level of body refining.

As for the latter, it was the spirit of the Thunder Serpent in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, and the "Thunder Serpent Flag" stored in it was a top-grade fifth-rank spiritual treasure.

Seeing how powerful Wei Tu and the Thunder Snake Spirit were, the refined corpse did not want to fight anymore. After spurting out several streams of black water as a feint attack, it took a step with one foot and ran towards the "drying furnace room" in an attempt to escape from Wei Tu.

According to the rules of the formation, as long as the dangerous place he went to was a dangerous place that Wei Tu had been to before, it would be impossible for Wei Tu to catch him during this trip to the Lingjiang Secret Palace.

However, just as he was about to approach the formation, he saw Wei Tu, who was surrounded by black water, suddenly grow a pair of wings on his back, and after a flash of his body, he appeared in front of him.

This scene made him both surprised and happy.

What was surprising was that Wei Tu actually knew the art of space escape and blocked his way in the blink of an eye.

What made him happy was that a mere Jindan cultivator dared to go head-on with his "middle stage Jindan" corpse.

You know, the physical strength of a corpse at the level of Divine Transformation is comparable to that of a monster of the same level.

A fierce light flashed on his face, and he formed one hand into a claw and dug fiercely into Wei Tu's abdomen.

The claw tip was glowing dimly, indicating that the corpse poison on it was several times more poisonous than the black water that had just been sprayed out.

But the next moment.

He was stunned.

I saw that Wei Tu in front of him stretched out his right hand and grabbed his corpse claw directly, and imprisoned his corpse claw with terrifying force.

At the same time, a pitch-black talisman appeared between his left palms and stuck directly between his eyebrows.

Immediately, his soul, which was hidden deep inside the corpse, was sealed by the pitch-black talisman, and he could no longer move.

"A fifth-level body cultivator who practices both magic and body? How could such a strong person break into the Secret Palace of Spirit Zombies? Shouldn't this secret palace be sealed off by my sect?" The quasi-god soul of the Ghost Shadow Palace inside the body cultivator's body showed a look of astonishment, unable to believe what he saw.

He never expected that the Divine Transformation cultivator he met was not an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator, but a powerful Divine Transformation cultivator who could be considered a strong one among the Divine Transformations.

This is also due to his limited knowledge.

If it was a Divine Transformation cultivator, after seeing the [Thunder Snake Flag] raised by Wei Tu, he would have probably run away for his life, and would not have dared to fight with him without knowing his own limitations.

However, Wei Tu was too lazy to care about the thoughts of the quasi-god of the Ghost Shadow Palace. After sealing his soul, he directly used his magic power to extract it from the corpse, and then searched his soul with the soul-searching technique, looking for the information he wanted.

The result was similar to what he had guessed, except for some slight differences in details.

This quasi-god of the Ghost Shadow Palace did take over the body of this god-level refined corpse, but the time when he took over the body was not the corpse's prime. Instead, he succeeded by chance after the corpse was severely injured by the Ghost King Li.

Moreover, this matter of taking over another's body was deliberately arranged by the Ghost King Li, in order to secretly set up a "roadblock" in the Lingjiang Secret Palace to intercept the coming and going Divine Transformation monks.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to succeed with just the realm of quasi-godhood.

As for taking this corpse away to add to the fighting power...

Li Guiwang had also had this idea, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to take the refined corpse out of the Lingzhang Secret Palace.

"It's difficult to take it out of the Secret Palace of Spiritual Zombies..."

Upon hearing this news, Wei Tu frowned immediately. This result was completely contrary to the purpose of his trip.

If he cannot bring the refined corpse out of the Lingjiang Secret Palace, then wouldn't it be a waste of his efforts to come here?

"In terms of environment, the only difference between the Soul Zombie Secret Palace and the outside world is probably the Soul Zombie Laws that are everywhere here. I wonder if I can wrap this refined corpse with my Soul Zombie Laws and bring it out of the Soul Zombie Secret Palace?"

Wei Tu touched his chin and thought to himself.

There is no use in thinking too much.

It is better to put it into practice once than to think about it a thousand times.

After his magic power consumed the soul of the quasi-god of the Ghost Shadow Palace, he waved his sleeves and ran away. After collecting the refined corpse of the god, he tiptoed into the next dangerous place in the Spirit Zombie Secret Palace.

As for the remaining two dangerous places, the "Bleeding Ground" and the "Corpse Raising Cave", as expected, the spirit transformation and corpse refining places inside had long been destroyed like other dangerous places.

After coming out of the "Corpse Raising Cave", he directly squeezed into the place where Ling Jiangzi, the powerful man in his combined form, was sleeping - the Corpse Pavilion.

Although the Corpse Chamber is a chamber, its structure is the same as that of a main hall and it is divided into two floors.

The first level is the army of zombies guarding the Chenshi Pavilion. The zombies here are also creations of the laws. Only the zombie general in the middle who is in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation is an external corpse refiner.

The second floor is the attic where the spirit zombies are stored.

The scene here can be clearly seen through the steps inside the hall.

However, Wei Tu was not confident enough to go head-on with these zombie guards on the first floor of the "Corpse Tower".

The corpse general who was in the late stage of transformation was no ordinary person. There was a high probability that he was the product of the fall of the corpse refining realm that Ling Jiangzi carried with him.

Moreover, even if these zombie guards on the first layer were eliminated, according to the temperament of the zombies, there must be mechanisms set up on the second layer. The power of these mechanisms would be so great that even a person in the late stage of transformation would have a hard time passing by.

Today, he is strong, but not arrogant enough to challenge all of this.

So, after arriving at the "Mortuary", Wei Tu only did one thing - looking for a space crack that could allow him to teleport out of the Mortuary.

With the help of "Hun'e Evil Eye", it was naturally not difficult for him to find the crack in this space.

Half a day later, he found this space crack on the outskirts of the first floor of the Corpse Pavilion.

It is the same as in the memory of the Quasi-God of Ghost Shadow Palace.

Just when he was about to teleport away with the help of this space crack, the refined corpse he had placed in the storage bag suddenly "fell" out of the bag and hit the ground. It was like cast iron and could not be pulled away.

However, under the protection of his "Spiritual Zombie Magic Intention", the weight of the refined corpse was immediately reduced a lot, and it could be dragged up by him.

But unfortunately, he still couldn't take the refined corpse out of the Lingzhang Secret Palace, because the closer it was to the space crack, the heavier the "weight" of the refined corpse would be.

It seemed as if it was consciously preventing this from happening.

“In that case…” Wei Tu’s eyes flashed, and a bold idea came to his mind.

He wrapped the spirit corpse with the "Spiritual Zombie Magic Intentions". When it was dragged up and approached the space crack, the "Floating and Heavy Magic Intentions" instantly came out of his body and turned into a gray light that fell on the body of the spirit corpse.

With the addition of the "Floating and Heavy Intentions", the "weight" of this spiritual corpse suddenly became lighter, and it was instantly pulled into the space crack by him.

Space teleportation only takes a moment.

When Wei Tu left the Lingjiang Secret Palace, an angry roar suddenly came from the coffin containing the corpse of Lingjiangzi on the second floor of the Corpse Pavilion, shaking the earth! (End of this chapter)
