Starting with the consumables of the Demonic Sect, one can barely achieve immortality.

Substitute Technique, Clone Technique, and Transformation Technique are the three essential body techniques for late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the Longevity Palace.

The master of the Longevity Palace in the past, the True Man Xuantang of the Taiyin Immortal Sect, once said that the key to the cultivation of the body lies in substitution, division, and change.

When the three arts are combined, one obtains the essence of Dharma Body cultivation, which is worthy of laying the foundation for the Great Dao!

As the most valued corpse cultivator in the palace, and the one who could devote the most energy to cultivation, Tian Tong had naturally already studied these three techniques.

Although the quality and quantity of his spiritual sense were limited because he had not yet reached the late stage of Qi Refining, the effect of Tian Tong's Three Bodies Technique was quite limited.

However, as long as he has the puppet-binding silk that can help with the transmission of divine sense, it is still very easy for him to control a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator and force him to be a scapegoat.

The "Secret Method of Substitute Death for Yin Puppet" is the authentic Substitute Technique among the Three Bodies Techniques, and the genuine immortal lineage of the Taiyin Immortal Sect!

Tian Tong glanced at Yu Caiying's body a few more times, thinking to himself:

"It's a pity I didn't receive the method to refine the remains of corpse cultivators into corpse puppets."

"Otherwise, even though my junior sister is dead, her body can at least shield me from one more disaster!"

"Seriously, what a waste of such a good body..."

But this was not the time for futile lamentation. He quickly hid behind several thicker courtyard pillars, his eyes gleaming.

Wang Qing deliberately amplified her voice, making it audible for miles around. Tian Tong, who was at the bottom of the Corpse-Raising Institute, naturally heard it as well.

"Didn't I tell them not to believe that nonsense about 'moonlight initiation'? Now they've really messed things up!"

"In other sects, if the senior cultivators discovered that a disciple possessed extraordinary fortune, able to absorb the spiritual energy of the Yin and cultivate the righteous methods, they would be overjoyed and would protect him as the hope for the sect's prosperity."

"But this is the Northern Territory, the Taiyin Immortal Sect! What kind of powerful and influential cultivator are you, Yan Cheng?"

Tiantong's gaze was indifferent.

He knew all too well that no matter how rare a Taiyin cultivator was, or how powerful they were after attaining enlightenment, all of this value could only be realized when the cultivator lived to the point of attaining enlightenment.

In this Hall of Longevity, Yan Cheng would not live long enough to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Is there really a big difference between a dead person cultivating Yin, Cold Qi, or Corpse Fiend?

"Whatever the case, now that the Foundation Establishment cultivator has made his statement, Yan Cheng will inevitably become the center of the struggle among the higher cultivators."

"What I should be thinking about is how to find a way to smuggle the Spirit Coffin out from these guys' fight."

"If the coffin is destroyed in the aftermath of the upper cultivators' battle, Huang Tong wouldn't dare blame them, but he would surely take his anger out on me!"

Tian Tong was not unaware that if Yan Cheng was indeed a Taiyin cultivator as the Foundation Establishment cultivator had said, the Palace Master would surely favor him as he had once favored him.

For example, changing the person you want to possess in the future to Yan Cheng.

This certainly paved the way for my own path of seeking the Dao, but it also meant that I was no longer confident when facing the true masters and cultivators. I could no longer be as smug as before!

"But the most urgent task is to save our own lives amidst this chaos."

Fortunately, besides Yan Cheng, we also brought three corpse cultivators who can be used!

Tian Tong's eyes burned brightly, and his figure disappeared into the shadows of the deep courtyard.

……

On a mountain peak several miles away from the morgue.

Upon hearing Wang Qing's words, both the young girl and the Taoist priest displayed rather interesting expressions.

After a long pause, it was the young girl who spoke first:

"My master once said that a reincarnation accomplished through the Blue-Faced Golden Beast Pendant is incomplete."

"The Foundation Establishment cultivator's rank is too high; the bronze pendant can only hold a portion of their remnant soul at most."

"The remnant soul has no longer established its foundation. Even if it successfully returns to its original position, it will need a long period of rest and recuperation before it can be fully repaired."

"What my martial uncle is doing right now... cannot actually be considered as his doing."

Her words were indeed very considerate of her senior's feelings.

When their master spoke of Wang Qing's actions, he used the term "possession" instead of "reincarnation."

The bodies collected by the Hall of Longevity each contained remnants of the soul that had not yet dissipated.

Wang Qing seized his body for her own use, which is tantamount to using the soul of a cultivator to bully the weak and stifle the last glimmer of hope for the original mortal's remnant soul.

This is unacceptable to the various sects in the south who adhere to the orthodox path.

Therefore, their master did not come to see this junior sister in person.

Since Wang Qing's possession of another's body was a fait accompli, all this True Immortal Baodan could do was try his best to sever ties with her.

The tall, thin Taoist priest remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

"My martial aunt has always been upright and honest. She will not deny that she committed evil deeds to prolong her life."

"If I were in her position, I might not be able to do any better than her."

"not to mention……"

The Taoist priest's voice sounded rather gloomy:

"If there really is another Taiyin cultivator in the Hall of Longevity, it would be good if my uncle could get rid of him as soon as possible."

The girl remained silent.

Since the Taiyin Demon Sect is named after Taiyin, the most noble of all the lineages is naturally the Taiyin lineage, which is inherited from the [Taiyin Changyou Wuming Immortal Lord]!

This immortal lord was the second son of the former ruler of the immortal dynasty, the Northern Emperor, so the cultivation methods and lineages passed down to later generations were naturally the most outstanding.

To this day, no one doubts whether the Taiyin Immortal Sect still possesses the Immortal Cultivation Method personally written by the Immortal Lord!

Both the young girl and the Taoist knew that if the Taiyin (the moon) had not been hidden away and spiritual objects were not scarce, it would be difficult to gather Qi from the Moon Laurel Pure Yin Mysterious Essence.

Let alone the three righteous sects of the South, even thirty or three hundred sects cannot match the Taiyin Demon Sect, whose entire sect cultivates Taiyin!

If Yan Cheng were to successfully establish the Taiyin Foundation, the Changsheng Palace would undoubtedly gain immense prestige, and its status within the Taiyin Demon Sect would rise accordingly.

By then, even if their masters had a heart that yearned to live apart from the world, they would have no choice but to personally get involved in this battle on the northern slope!

Even a ripple from the battle between the upper cultivators would have been enough to engulf the two Qi Refining cultivators!

The girl began to regret begging her master to let her come along. Although she loved watching the excitement, she was unwilling to be drawn into the all-out war between the immortals and demons!

Once war breaks out, those at the bottom of society won't get any benefits, but they'll have plenty of opportunities to be cannon fodder!

"Senior brother, do you think... war will really break out?"

The Taoist priest did not respond, but simply formed a hand seal and used the sect's true teachings, the "Observation of Qi and Penetration of Profound Mysteries," to gaze at the sky above the Corpse-Raising Institute.

There seemed to be some kind of dark red liquid, like the scorching liquid of a fireboat, flowing down from top to bottom onto the head of the dragon-headed giant statue, adding spiritual power to this former guardian spirit puppet of the Heavenly Corpse Path!

"It's Zhong Tianying...she really was hiding in the shadows!"

The Taoist priest found his junior sister's remarks utterly ridiculous.

Whether or not to go to war, when has it ever been their turn to decide, these Qi Refining cultivators?
