After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 235 Tombstones Stand in a Forest, Corpse-Refining Army

The battle of the Netherworld Sect stirred up the barbarian lands.

The five powerful sects of the barbarian frontier, who once dominated the world, have now been completely subdued by Qi Sheng.

The other four sects, including the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, were trembling with fear.

The Netherworld Sect was plunged into utter despair.

The seven invincible beings were repeatedly killed by several powerful and strange beings.

at last.

A bunch of invincible slackers.

Even if they could be resurrected, they would never go out again.

After kicking over the coffin lid, they stayed in the Hall of Immortality, staring at each other, all feeling stifled.

Li Yun smiled bitterly: "There's nothing we can do."

Feng Gu frowned: "It's really frustrating."

Feng Baichuan sighed, "If the 'Corpse-Suppressing Pearl' is not lost, perhaps we still have a fighting chance."

Nanmen Feiying shook his head: "I told you long ago that we shouldn't have attacked Qi Sheng again. Now look what happened, there's no room for reconciliation."

Wu Wang angrily said, "We are all invincible. The Netherworld Sect has such a great reputation. If we don't get rid of Qi Sheng, are we just going to let him shit and piss on our heads?"

but.

Was he killed?
Isn't the situation even worse?

Now, the Xuanqi is lost, face is gone, and even the Netherworld Sect's more than a thousand-year foundation is about to be destroyed.

Are we to hide in this Netherworld Palace from now on and never leave?
Damn it!
Ultimately, it's all Qi and Huang's fault.

They had known all along that it was the Qi family members who were jealous of Qi Sheng's rapid rise to fame at a young age, so they used their power to bully Qi Sheng, forcing this genius to defect.

If not.

Qi Sheng should have been a rising star in the Netherworld Sect. With his abilities, he should have led the Netherworld Sect to glory and unified the barbarian lands without a doubt.

But now?

After the rise of the human race, the first thing they wanted to eliminate was the Netherworld Sect.

They were given another chance, but Qi and Huang strongly advocated for the execution of Qi Sheng, thus pushing away this last opportunity.

Since then.

Dead end.

Everyone looked at Qi Huang, and naturally, they all had complaints.

Qi Huang noticed everyone's gaze: "What? Are you all blaming me?"

He laughed in exasperation: "Little Qi Sheng has frightened you all like this?"

Qi Huang laughed loudly: "Even without the Netherworld Sect, we are still invincible. Although our mountain gate has been completely destroyed by the monster, we still have the Netherworld Palace as our last foundation. As long as we remain, we can rise again sooner or later."

even--

"After the mountain gate was leveled, Qi Sheng no longer had any leverage over us."

"In my opinion, we shouldn't just go on the defensive; we should attack Changweishan directly."

"Isn't Qi Sheng known for summoning strange creatures?"

"Let's see if he still dares to summon people recklessly at his own mountain gate."

It has to be said that people with bad intentions tend to be more cunning.

Qi Huang's words immediately opened up new ideas for everyone.

Yes!

As the saying goes, a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water.

As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose.

prior to.

Compared to the Netherworld Sect, Qi Sheng is barefoot.

Now, these invincible cultivators of the Netherworld Sect, freed from the constraints of their sect, are truly barefoot.

Jie Jie Jie!

The roles have reversed!
The seven invincible realm experts exchanged glances and reached a consensus almost simultaneously.

As for Qi Huang, others may have their complaints.

But the one who was ultimately responsible for all of this was Qi Sheng.

Now, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Then let's go all out and fight to the death!
It would be even more satisfying to drag the other four sects down with them, so that everyone could suffer together.

"go!"

"set off!"

Qi Huang raised his arm and shouted, ready to lead the group out of the Netherworld Palace and head straight for Changwei Mountain.

however.

At this time.

Rumble!
Inside the Netherworld Palace, outside the Hall of Immortality.

In a vast cemetery, the ground trembled, and a large tombstone shook.

"what happened?"

When the experts from the Netherworld Sect saw this, they were all astonished.

This cemetery is no ordinary place; it contains the remains of great figures from the martial arts lineage, at least those who have fully mastered the twenty-four solar terms.

Martial arts masters have short lifespans, but their bodies remain incorrupt for hundreds of years after death, making them top-notch materials for corpse refining.

Therefore.

After the masters of the martial arts lineage in the Netherworld Sect died, their bodies were generally buried in the 'Martial Arts Cemetery' of the Netherworld Palace.

It is said.

It's not just top experts; even the invincible war gods of the Netherworld Sect are said to have been buried in the 'Martial Arts Cemetery' after their deaths.

The heart of the Netherworld Palace.

Multiple layers of checks and balances.

The body is buried here and will never be stolen or desecrated.

however.

today.

This martial arts cemetery has suddenly become restless.

"what happened?"

"Could it be a zombie resurrection?"

"Could it be a supernatural invasion?"

"Quickly! Quickly go and invite the Invincible Ancestor!"

……

No need to invite me.

Nanmen Feiying and the others noticed the commotion outside the Undying Hall and rushed over immediately.

Apart from Sima Dongchou, who is still being resurrected, the remaining seven invincible realm experts arrived together.

"Why the riot?"

Wu Wang didn't understand.

Feng Gu was also puzzled: "Could it be that some strange entity has infiltrated the Netherworld Palace?"

That's impossible!
The Netherworld Palace is as stable as Mount Tai, preventing any strange existence; it is impossible for any strange creature to sneak in.

So what's going on?

Could it be because the 'Corpse-Suppressing Bead' is missing?
Corpse-suppressing beads?!

Yes!

Yes!

Li Wuxian was shocked. "The Corpse Suppressing Pearl has been nourishing the corpses in the Martial Arts Graveyard for many years, and has long been refined into invincible corpses. Controlling these corpses, which are at least at the peak of combat power, through the Corpse Suppressing Pearl is also the deepest trump card that my Netherworld Sect has kept hidden."

That's why they said before that if they had the Corpse-Suppressing Pearl, there might still be hope of turning the tide.

now.

Li Wuxian had every reason to suspect: "Could it be that Qi Sheng refined the 'Corpse-Suppressing Pearl' and thus manipulated these corpses in the Martial Arts Graveyard to riot?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Qi Huang was the first to disbelieve it!

His eyes widened: "Are mystical artifacts so easy to refine?"

Wu Wang also didn't believe it: "Even if Qi Sheng refined the 'Corpse Suppressing Pearl,' he's outside, how could he control the refining corpse in the Netherworld Palace at the Yuan Realm node through the 'Corpse Suppressing Pearl' across a whole world?"

This is utter nonsense!

Everyone thought it was outrageous.

But sometimes, what you fear most is exactly what happens.

Rumble!
At the martial arts cemetery, tombstones shattered, the earth churned, and coffins burst open.

The corpses were withered, yet they exuded a powerful aura.

This isn't a corpse; it's clearly a corpse-refining operation.

"Ahhh!"

"So the Martial Arts Cemetery is full of corpses that have been refined?" "The masters of the Martial Arts lineage were all refined after they died?"

"Incredible!"

"Who on earth dares to blaspheme the martial arts ancestors of my Netherworld Sect?"

……

Who else could it be?

They're definitely on our side!

Apart from the eight invincible realm experts, no one in the Netherworld Sect really knew that the masters of the martial arts lineage who died and were buried in the martial arts cemetery would actually be refined into corpses.

The disciples of the Netherworld Sect naively believed that the sect was protecting the bodies of their ancestors from desecration and offense after death.

But little did anyone know that the ones who truly blasphemed and offended were the sect's higher-ups, the eight invincible realm experts.

Qi Huang and the others were certainly aware of this matter.

It had been kept very secret before, not even from the top levels of the organization, because of concerns about ideological instability.

But at this moment, there's no time to worry about those things.

"Qi Sheng!"

"It must be Qi Sheng!"

Qi Huang's face was gloomy.

Aside from the 'Corpse-Suppressing Pearl', even Feng Baichuan, one of the eight invincible realm cultivators skilled in corpse-refining techniques, would find it difficult to control so many martial arts corpses.

Who has the 'Corpse-Suppressing Pearl' now?
Of course it's Qi Sheng.

Qi Huang roared, "Qi Sheng, you brat, what kind of skill is it to hide your head and tail? Come out now and fight to the death!"

such a pity!
Who cares about him?

Qi Sheng ignored it, or rather, he did pay attention, but he didn't show up personally. Instead, hundreds and thousands of martial arts corpses rose from their coffins in the martial arts cemetery and rushed forward.

"To suffer!"

Feng Baichuan's expression changed drastically.

He knew best the scale of the corpse-refining in the Martial Arts Cemetery—

"Four thousand and twenty-four peak-level corpse refiners."

"Eighty-eight supreme corpse refiners."

"Nine Invincible Corpse Refiners"

Feng Baichuan urgently appealed—

Invincible!
Invincible!
However, long before Feng Baichuan realized what was happening and warned them, thousands of powerful corpse refiners had already surrounded them, trapping the seven invincible realm cultivators.

The corpses automatically formed a 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Array', surrounding the area and freezing the space as the seasons changed.

Qi Huang was the first to be attacked, surrounded by hundreds of powerful corpses led by two invincible corpse refiners. He could not kill them all and could not break through. Instead, he was gradually suppressed.

Until then—

"Qi Sheng!"

Qi Huang's eyes widened in horror as he finally saw a figure materialize from the sky—none other than Qi Sheng.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Qi Huang was desperate and tried his best to break through the encirclement to kill Qi Sheng.

however.

In vain.

He was held by dozens of powerful corpses, his limbs, torso, and head were all tied up, and he was covered in sweat and unable to move at all.

It will be difficult to break free, at least for the time being.

But then he saw Qi Sheng holding a familiar-looking staff, one end black, the other white. Qi Sheng smiled and pointed the black end at him—

"Uh!"

Qi Huang rolled his eyes and died on the spot.

But the darkness before your eyes is not true darkness.

Qi Huang's death was not a true death.

As soon as he died, his body vanished, and the next moment he was resurrected in a coffin in the Temple of the Undying.

Can't be killed.

It can't be killed at all.

Qi Sheng noticed it too, and he frowned slightly.

that side.

Wu Wang, who was fighting against Qi Sheng's army of corpse-refining beings, was shocked and questioned Qi Sheng: "How did you get in? How are you able to control martial arts corpse-refining?"

The reason why he could control the martial arts corpse refinement is simple: Qi Sheng easily refined the 'Corpse Suppression Pearl' with the help of the Ninth Cave Heaven. Since the Corpse Suppression Pearl could control these corpse refinements, he could naturally do the same.

As for why he was able to enter this Netherworld Palace, Qi Sheng had always been able to.

Or, more precisely, ever since he captured Qi Sanniang alive, he had already obtained the method to enter and exit the Netherworld Palace from her.

In other words.

Even if Nanmen Feiying and the others had not invited Qi Sheng into the Netherworld Palace, Qi Sheng could have come in on his own, just like he is now.

However, he was timid at the time and worried that there might be some difficult-to-handle ambush in the Netherworld Palace, so he firmly refused.

Things are different now.

"Having mastered the 'Primordial Beginning' technique from the 'Stellar Transformations,' and refined the origin of the Ninth Grotto-Heaven, I became the Lord of the Grotto-Heaven. From then on, my travels back and forth between Grotto-Heavens were no longer limited to within ten thousand miles. No matter how high the mountains or how long the rivers, even if there were numerous barriers between heaven and earth, I could travel back and forth."

The Netherworld Palace, located at the same primordial boundary node, is no exception.

With this confidence, Qi Sheng dared to venture deep into enemy territory alone.

of course.

If his actions can be considered as a lone force venturing deep into enemy territory, then there's no way he could directly strike at the heart of the enemy's stronghold.

The Corpse-Suppressing Pearl commands a massive army of thousands of corpse refiners, far surpassing the combined strength of the entire Netherworld Sect at its peak. This is the profound foundation accumulated by the Netherworld Sect over a thousand years, originally reserved for times of life-or-death crisis. Even when facing ten-star anomalies in previous encounters, the eight invincible realm experts of the Netherworld Sect never considered reaching this level.

They endured it.

They hid.

He had been holding back, but now, Qi Sheng had unceremoniously summoned all the martial arts predecessors of the Netherworld Sect—

Old guys!
Get up and work!

……

Qi Sheng, commanding an army of thousands of corpse refiners, felt exhilarated and indescribably smug.

but.

When he used the Corpse Refining Technique to restrain Qi Huang and used the Green Corpse Staff to kill him, Qi Huang, though dead, escaped, just like many times before: "Can he really come back to life?"

Qi Sheng frowned.

What exactly is going on?
What exactly is the key?

His gaze shifted to the Undying Hall, which stood right next to the Martial Arts Cemetery—

"The temple is named 'Immortal'?"

"Could the secret of the Netherworld Sect's invincible realm's ability to resurrect and constantly revive lie here?"

Qi Sheng thought for a moment and immediately controlled two invincible-level corpse refiners to forcefully break into the Undying Hall. Sure enough, he saw twelve crystal coffins placed in the center of the Undying Hall.

One of the paintings depicts Sima Dongchou, whom we haven't seen in a long time.

He is still in the process of resurrection.

The other coffin, which went from empty to real, revealed that Qi Huang had been resurrected.

"Shock!"

Qi Sheng had long known that Qi Huang and the others had a method of resurrection. He originally thought it was a skill similar to the immortal essence of his "Three Diagrams of Heaven". However, he did not expect that what made these people immortal was actually these coffins.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Incredible."

Qi Sheng's eyes flickered, and he randomly asked Li Yun, who was invincible in the Netherworld Sect, "What is the origin of the twelve coffins in the Undying Hall?"

Li Yun had already despaired when Qi Sheng stormed into the Netherworld Palace and manipulated thousands of martial arts corpses. Now, faced with the questioning, she couldn't be tough and honestly replied, "These coffins existed when the Netherworld Palace was first established. They are treasures obtained by the founding ancestor of my Netherworld Sect."

Qi Sheng was dissatisfied. Wasn't that obvious?

He then asked, "Where did the Netherworld Ancestor come from?"

Li Yun smiled wryly: "There is no record of it. It seems to have been brought back along with the entire Netherworld Palace. This Yuan Realm Node existed when the Netherworld Sect was first established. The Netherworld Palace was located within the Yuan Realm Node, and these twelve immortal coffins were located within the Netherworld Palace."

It turned out to be the case.

Qi Sheng asked again, "Such a treasure cannot be resurrected without restraint; there must be some mechanism and limitation. What is the mechanism? And what are the limitations?"

Li Yun's expression froze.

Wu Wang shouted, "You must not tell!"

That side.

Nanmen Feiying smiled bitterly: "Things have come to this point, what is there to say or not say?"

He looked at Li Yun: "There's no point in hiding it, just tell me."

Qi Sheng looked calmly at Li Yun.

Li Yun thought about it and agreed: "Given the current situation, even if we don't say anything, how could Sect Leader Qi let us off so easily? As long as we can't take those twelve immortal coffins out, we're all doomed. We might as well be honest with Sect Leader Qi and hope he'll grant us a way out."

Li Yun was convinced.

Be completely honest.
