The old devil Youhai exerted great effort to create such a place, and even set up a grand array on his own grave. Gu Yuan couldn’t believe the devil would just die like that; the devil must have so sche in mind.
Hearing Gu Yuan’s words, Zhong Tian remained silent for a mont before saying, "Back in the day, I indeed had a deep friendship with this fellow Youhai, but this devil was deeply scheming. He set up a grand array here and created this Nine Yin Corpse Nourishing Land, precisely for life extension and prolonging his life."
"Oh, life extension?"
Gu Yuan’s eyes flashed.
As far as he knew, in the Cultivation Realm, there were countless thods for life extension.
For instance, one could swallow Spirit dicine or refine Life Extension Spirit Pills to beco immune to all diseases; with a healthy body, naturally one could live longer.
There were also so high-grade Life Extension Spirit Pills that could even extend a mortal’s life by several hundred years.
Of course, in this way, it’s actually a bit wasteful.
If you really think about it, it’s more effective for cultivators to swallow these life extension Spirit Pills.
For example, a Golden Core Great Cultivator, whose aptitude is slightly inferior, has clearly cultivated to the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm, but because his lifespan is about to end and his vitality is exhausted, he cannot break through.
But if he swallows a Life Extension Spirit Pill and extends his life by two or three hundred years, he might have the chance to take another step forward. In this way, if he really breaks through to the Yin Spirit Realm, his lifespan might surge to two or three thousand years.
In such a situation, the value is far greater than a mortal swallowing it.
Besides these life extension Spirit dicines and Spirit Pills, there are actually so Life Extension Techniques.
For instance, cultivating certain Wood Elent Daoist Scriptures or so special Divine Techniques can also prolong lifespan, conserve essence, and reduce consumption.
Additionally, practicing so Demon Techniques, although most techniques are rather evil and strange, and even have many side effects, can also extend lifespan.
As for the life extension thod of the old devil Youhai, it’s obviously not simple.
This old devil originally had little lifespan left; since he wanted to extend his life and created such a large Nine Yin Corpse Nourishing Land, he was obviously using so demon thods.
"The old devil Youhai wanted to take advantage of the terrain of this Nine Yin Corpse Nourishing Land to bury himself here, then use the ’Abandon Corpse Grand Art’ to fuse with his natal evil corpse, and with the imnse Death Qi and corpse Qi within it, reverse life and death. Through Unity of Human and Corpse, he hoped to nurture a strand of innate life force, transform into an alternative demon, and achieve an alternative form of immortality!"
Zhong Tian saw Gu Yuan’s bewildernt and curiosity, so he simply explained everything he knew.
However, the information he revealed left Gu Yuan speechless and shocked.
"Fusing with his natal evil corpse, Unity of Human and Corpse? Alternative immortality?!"
Gu Yuan was completely stunned.
He knew that the old devil Youhai had so relationship with the Corpse-Driving Sect, and that the Corpse-Driving Sect was famous for dealing with various corpses and evil spirits all day long. Even their natal artifacts were various zombie and evil objects, covered in the sll of corpses and decay. Over ti, these people developed so psychological issues, which was not surprising.
Along with that, the old devil Youhai might also have so issues, or rather quirks.
However, Gu Yuan never expected that this guy’s tastes would be so heavy, even going so far as to do sothing like Unity of Human and Corpse. Didn’t it disgust him?
Didn’t he find it repulsive?
Of course, these natal evil corpses in the eyes of the Corpse-Driving Sect are seen as alternative Magical Artifacts and Magical Treasures, so in that sense, it doesn’t seem unreasonable.
Moreover, for the sake of immortality, what’s a little bit of disgust or nausea?
This is immortality we’re talking about!
Many people would give up everything, at any cost, just to achieve this goal.
Gu Yuan was sure, although the thod of the old devil Youhai was a bit evil, strange, and disgusting, once it’s spread, many people would undoubtedly follow suit.
It’s just unknown whether the old devil Youhai had successfully transford or not.
"Does that an he’s still alive now?"
Gu Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
The old devil Youhai was a Yin God Giant Demon Cultivator back then, and if he were still alive now, Gu Yuan would definitely not be his match.
However, what Zhong Tian said did give Gu Yuan so relief. With a hoarse and low voice, he said, "Whether he is dead or alive, I don’t know; but even if the old devil Youhai is alive now, most of his life-long cultivation has been wasted due to the erosion of corpse Qi and Death Qi."
"And even if he successfully transford, a living being and a living corpse are entirely different. Whether the old devil Youhai is still the original old devil Youhai when the ti cos is another question."
Gu Yuan nodded and agreed directly, "Alright, then you and I will join forces to get rid of this fellow Youhai."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. After the matter is settled, everything on the old devil Youhai will belong to you, Fellow Daoist Gu."
Although Zhong Tian had beco a Yellow Springs Demon Corpse, he was no fool. He knew that to make the horse run, you had to let it graze; he understood the use of incentives.
Gu Yuan smiled, said nothing, thus giving his tacit approval.
However, in his heart, he held the other in higher regard.
Since he knew how to use incentives, it indicated that Zhong Tian in front of him possessed intelligence no less than that of a normal cultivator.
In any case, combined with his identity as a Yellow Springs Demon Corpse and his expansive lifespan, as long as he cultivated steadily and diligently, he would sooner or later achieve the Dao Fruits of Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit.
Therefore, the person before him had boundless prospects and was worth befriending.
Of course, those who are not of the sa kind are sure to have different intentions. After all, the person before him was no longer human but an alternative demon, so it was necessary to remain on guard.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, by the way, the old devil Youhai’s tomb is already set up with a Restriction Array, and its defense is very strong. Do you have any solutions?"
Gu Yuan rembered sothing and asked.
Zhong Tian looked at the tomb ahead, his pair of pale red pupils emitting a strange, eerie glow, and said flatly, "This grand array is called the Six Annihilation Life-Abolishing Grand Array. It can autonomously absorb Yin Qi, Death Qi, Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and other gloomy energies between heaven and earth to nourish itself and also provides extrely strong defense."
"Under normal circumstances, even if you and I join forces, it would still be difficult to break this array in a short ti."
"Oh, under normal circumstances?"
Gu Yuan noticed another layer of aning in Zhong Tian’s words.
"I have beco a Yellow Springs Demon Corpse, and I have a way to weaken and break the power of this grand array within a short period, but it’s only for about three breaths.’
Zhong Tian revealed his plan.
"Alright, three breaths should be enough. Leave this matter to ."
Gu Yuan nodded, and the Black Dragon Halberd appeared in his hand once more.
Zhong Tian looked at the Black Dragon Halberd in Gu Yuan’s hand, taking a few more glances.
Although he was no longer human, his eyesight remained, even stronger than before he died. He could clearly sense the mountain-like and ocean-like vitality and the vigorous Qi and Blood Power within Gu Yuan!
It was a force completely opposite to his dense corpse Qi and Death Qi!
