"Corpse slaves?" Chen Fan's face was as gloomy as water, and he was filled with doubts. "The corpse slaves are actually related to the Corpse God Cult?"
Xia Xinyan frowned and explained with disgust: "The Cult of the Corpse God is closely related to Hehuan Cave Heaven, and both belong to the martial arts force in Tuta Sea. The followers of the Corpse God Cult are all good at controlling corpses and refining corpses, and their martial arts training is also Most of them have to do with controlling corpses. The higher the cultivation level of the disciples in the sect, the more corpses they can control. A corpse in the realm of agility, refined by the Corpse God Sect, is even more terrifying than it was in life!"
The doubts in Chen Fan's heart became more intense, and he asked again: "Are these corpses slaves of the Corpse God Cult?"
Xia Xinyan nodded and said: "These corpses have not been refined yet. They have only used the simplest method to keep the corpses from decaying. However, once they are refined by the Corpse God Cult, these corpses will become strangely powerful. Some corpses have been refined for thousands of years. After years of refining, it is invulnerable and can even use the power of the Five Elements, becoming a deadly weapon in the hands of the followers of the Corpse God Cult."
Chen Fan's heart was shaken, and his face became increasingly ugly. He couldn't help but guess: "In the process of collecting medicinal materials, Hehuan Dongtian also collected these corpses. This time they will probably send these corpses to the burial place of the Corpse God Sect. It seems that there is another trace in our itinerary variable."
"The burial place?" Chen Fan's voice trembled, his face full of surprise.
Xia Xinyan answered: "The place where corpses are buried is where the Corpse God Cult refines corpse slaves. In the depths of the Endless Sea, the Corpse God Cult has hundreds of such places, and countless corpses are buried in each place. Slaves. When the disciples of the Corpse God Cult are fighting against the enemy outside, if the corpse slaves they control are destroyed, they will come to the burial place and select new corpse slaves to supplement their combat power. The core disciples of the Corpse God Cult have a better chance of obtaining An extremely powerful corpse slave. The corpses that have been refined for hundreds of years in the corpse burial ground are so powerful that they can make people fearful!"
Chen Fan became curious and asked: "How many corpse slaves can the disciples of the Corpse God Sect control?"
Xia Xinyan replied: "It depends on their level of cultivation and the level of the corpse slaves. Corpse slaves who are less than a hundred years old are called human corpses by the Corpse God Cult and can exert 30% of the corpse's power during life; earth corpses which are hundreds of years old can exert The corpse has 100% of its power; the thousand-year-old corpse can exert 120% of the corpse's power; and the ten thousand-year-old corpse king is the most terrifying. It is said that it can exert twice the power of the corpse, and even knows how to use the five elements. The power! The Corpse King possesses the power of the five elements, which is equivalent to possessing five martial spirits!"
Chen Fan's expression suddenly changed and he asked in surprise: "How many corpse kings are there in the Corpse God Cult?"
Xia Xinyan shook his head: "I don't know that. I only know that there are only one or two corpse kings in the Corpse God Cult. Those two Corpse Kings were both powerful men in heaven during their lifetime. I have heard that the Corpse God Cult The leader of the cult once fought against a strong man in the Heaven Transformation Realm. With just that corpse king, the strong man Huatian fell into a bitter battle. The corpse king refined from the corpse of the strong Heaven Transformation Realm was actually as powerful as the Heaven Transformation Realm. It’s really too scary for a strong person to compete!”
"Awesome!" Chen Fan looked horrified and his pupils shrank, as if he had seen something incredible.
"It is indeed very powerful." Xia Xinyan looked solemn, with a hint of fear in her tone, "The Corpse God Cult can become one of the fifteen major forces in the Endless Sea, and the Corpse Slaves are indispensable. The followers of the Corpse God Cult bring the Corpse Slaves, It's like having a few extra lives. When fighting with others, they only need to hide aside and control the corpse slaves, and those corpse slaves are enough to torture their opponents until life is worse than death."
"...the place where the corpses are buried. I really hope that the ships from Hehuan Cave will not settle in that place first. It is better to stay as far away from such a ghastly place as possible." Chen Fan said with a wry smile, trying to hide the fear in his heart.
"It's not up to you and me." Xia Xinyan sighed, a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes, "We can only try our best to observe carefully, and if we see other ships nearby, leave immediately. I don't want to think about this ghost place for a moment. Stay tuned.”
"I have resealed the box." Chen Fan nodded and used the finger gun technique again to press down the steel nails that were pulled out.
After a while, Chen Fan and Xia Xinyan sat down in that wing again. Both of them still looked a little ugly, especially Xia Xinyan. After she noticed the corpse in the wing, she felt uncomfortable all over. It took a long time to regain her composure and re-enter the state of cultivation.
Chen Fan frowned, took a deep breath, tried to calm down, then closed his eyes and fell into practice.
The next day, the sun shone through the gaps in the deck. Chen Fan moved pots of flowers onto the deck as always. Xia Xinyan followed him closely. She did not want to stay alone on the lower floor for fear of missing something. Important clues.
On the third day,
On the deck, Li Wei and a group of Hehuan Cave disciples stared at them viciously, with a sneer on their lips and an evil look in their eyes. Chen Fan pretended not to see it and was busy concentrating on it, but he secretly became more vigilant in his heart.
To his surprise, Li Wei and others did not come to provoke them. They just monitored them from a distance, as if they were brewing some conspiracy. Chen Fan remained silent, secretly paying attention to the movements of Li Wei and his party, and when they were not paying attention, he secretly walked to the edge of the deck, looking for an opportunity to leave.
As the sun gradually set, Chen Fan moved the flowerpots back to the lower level. At this time, Xiaofeng arrived as promised and brought dinner and fresh water to them. Xiaofeng's face was covered with frost. After putting down the food and fresh water, he cursed in a low voice: "I don't know how to behave!" and then left directly.
The food this time was much inferior to before, with only simple salted fish and steamed buns, and the fresh water was barely enough for two people. Chen Fan had already expected this outcome, so he didn't care. He ate in silence and ignored Xiaofeng.
Time flies, the sun rises and sets alternately. In the early morning, Chen Fan woke up leisurely and jumped up. At this time every day, he moved the flower pots on the deck on time, and then assisted Xia Xinyan in cleaning up the stolen goods left last night. As the sun gradually rose, he carefully put the flowerpot back to its original place and received simple salted fish and steamed buns as today's food.
Before the end of the day, he repeated this action again. At night, he and Xia Xinyan were talking about various things in the Endless Sea on the deck, their voices full of expectations for the future. Then, the two of them silently returned to the small side room, closed their eyes and meditated, listening to each other's heartbeats.
Time flies, and a month flies by. Over the past month, Xia Xinyan's strength has been significantly improved, and the energy in her body has gradually approached the level of a human warrior. Although she still cannot use the reincarnation martial spirit, she already has the ability to protect herself.
At the same time, Chen Fan was not idle either. Although he has not practiced Madness to the Second Heaven with all his strength, he has been studying the cultivation method of Madness to the Second Heaven, trying to integrate negative power into his blood. After constant exploration, he finally made some progress in this area.
However, Chen Fan did not practice the crazy martial arts skills on the ship. He knew very well that the practice of crazy martial arts required stimulating negative power. After each practice, the body would be seriously injured. On the ship, there were dangers all around. Although Li Wei and others did not take action, Chen Fan always remained vigilant and was always ready to be at his peak in order to break the ship and leave at the critical moment.
Late at night, Chen Fan and Xia Xinyan lay quietly in the side room, closing their eyes to relax.
At this moment, the solid iron ship suddenly slowed down, as if it was about to dock. This abnormal situation made Chen Fan instantly alert. He widened his eyes and said seriously: "It seems that we are about to reach our destination. We must be more vigilant."
Xia Xinyan also woke up with fear. She gently brushed away the broken hair on her forehead and suggested calmly: "Try to use Xuanyin Jue to sense the surrounding environment and see if there is strong Yin energy. But remember, never Don't push the Xuanyin Technique to the limit, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Once attention is drawn, we may be in a life-or-death crisis."
Chen Fan nodded and solemnly agreed: "I understand."
During this period, Chen Fan learned many secrets of the Endless Sea from Xia Xinyan, and also understood the peculiarities of Xuanyin Jue. It turns out that Xuanyin Jue is a special martial skill that exists specifically to nourish the Silver Moon Martial Spirit and the Star Martial Spirit of the Three Gods Religion. Like Xuanyang Jue, it belongs to the untold mysteries of the Three Gods Religion.
Xuanyang Jue and Xuanyin Jue have different approaches but the same purpose. They both need to collect strong Yang Qi for practice in order to nourish the Flame Sun Martial Soul. These two martial arts are extremely precious within the Three Gods Sect, and even the core disciples are not qualified to study them.
Only the three gods, elders, sons of gods and other high-level figures of the Three Gods Religion have the opportunity to understand the mysteries of Xuanyang Jue and Xuanyin Jue. It is said that with the help of Xuanyin Jue and Xuanyang Jue, the three martial arts spirits of the Three Gods Sect can increase to varying degrees and their strength will be greatly increased.
Although Xuanyin Jue is only classified as an ordinary martial skill, it has amazing potential. As long as the Yin Qi of heaven and earth absorbed is rich enough, it can even be enhanced to the intensity of Xuan-level and Spirit-level martial arts!
If Chen Fan can make full use of the Xuanyin Art and absorb the endless Yin Qi of heaven and earth, its power may even touch the boundaries of holy-level martial arts!
According to Xia Xinyan's explanation, Xuanyin Jue is a rare evolutionary martial skill with endless possibilities. However, in order to achieve this goal, the prerequisite is to collect sufficient Yin Qi from heaven and earth. This condition may seem simple, but in fact it is extremely stringent.
The strange place in the endless sea that contains the Yin Qi of heaven and earth has long been cleared away by the people of the Three Gods Sect. Therefore, although Xuanyin Jue has amazing potential, it is extremely difficult to actually evolve it.
The burial place of the Corpse God Cult is a strange area full of death and corpse energy. These death and corpse qi are often mixed with trace amounts of yin qi. These Yin Qi originate from deep underground and seep out from the corpse slaves. Although the number was rare, for Chen Fan, it was enough to arouse his vigilance.
Xia Xinyan asked Chen Fan to use Xuanyin Jue to conduct an investigation, aiming to determine whether the place where the iron ship was about to dock was the burial place of the Corpse God Cult. This way, they can prepare in advance for possible dangers.
"Yin Qi!?" Chen Fan's expression suddenly changed and he looked at his surroundings in surprise. He felt that the Yin Qi was like thin threads, everywhere, permeating every corner of the island. There is no doubt that the place where the ship is about to dock is the place where the corpses of the feared Corpse God Cult are buried. This made Chen Fan feel a sense of crisis, as if it foreshadowed that a disaster was about to come. He cursed secretly in his heart: "What are you afraid of?"
Xia Xinyan's eyes were solemn, and she sighed softly: "We can only wait and see what happens. If we are really in danger, we can only jump into the sea to escape. I just hope that there are no powerful men from the Corpse God Cult in the place where the corpse is buried. There are no fearsome water corpses, otherwise we wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.”
Water corpses are corpse slaves refined by the Corpse God Cult using a special method. They sink to the bottom of the sea and use the vortices on the bottom of the sea to gather corpse energy. After thousands of tempers, they become like fish and float freely on the bottom of the sea. Although their power cannot be compared with that of the Corpse King, their power at the bottom of the sea is enough to make people fearful. However, water corpses also have a fatal weakness. Once they encounter fire, their power will be greatly reduced.
Although this type of zombie slave with special purposes is powerful, its weaknesses are also obvious. Therefore, the Corpse God Cult does not spend too much energy refining them. It only specializes in refining such corpse slaves when mining medicinal materials in mines in special areas.
"Boom!" A loud noise, like a thunderbolt from the blue, broke the calm sea. The sound of the anchor sinking into the water, like the knock on the door of fate, reached the ears of Chen Fan and Xia Xinyan from the world outside the ship.
Soon, Xiaofeng's figure appeared at the top of the stairs, her eyes cold, as if covered with a layer of ice and snow. She said calmly: "You can get off now, the ship has arrived at its destination." There was a trace of imperceptible sadness hidden in her cold eyes.
Xia Xinyan was thoughtful and could capture the compassion in Xiaofeng's eyes with just one glance. Her heart instantly sank into the abyss, and an ominous premonition filled her heart.
At this time, Li Wei also poked his head out at the entrance of the stairs. He sneered and said: "Hey, come down, I will show you the burial place of the Corpse God Cult to open your eyes. After all, such an opportunity Not everyone can encounter it." His laughter was like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, full of sarcasm and ridicule.
