Open the door, fellow countryman, we are one.

Chapter 31: Ten Years of Jade Corpse

The only true world is the burial ground.

In the desolate land of the dead, Li Yi and Gu Tianyin crawled out from the ground.

His body glowed with golden light, with a hint of jade.

Gu Tianyin has grown into a big girl, with waist-length hair, and has reached the first stage of immortal transformation.

She also cultivated a strange vision, but it was different from Li Yi's, and it was a sapling.

"Ten years." Gu Tianyin looked towards the direction of the Burial Pass.

She and Li Yi were buried in the earth and stayed there for ten years, successfully completing the "Taixu Sutra".

Li Yi's immortal species is stuck at the third metamorphosis and cannot progress.

The corpse-raising method has made great progress and has reached its limit. It is equivalent to a nine-transformation immortal seed, with golden bones and golden skin.

Only one step away from being promoted to a jade corpse and being able to compete with the cultivators of divine objects.

Li Yi looked back and saw that near the nine peaks, there was thick black air and high-level corpses were buried there.

"Master, do you want to go?" Gu Tianyin asked.

“I don’t know how long it will take to advance to the Jade Corpse. Moreover, because I am a corpse creature, I have the ability to devour. With the help of my vast energy, I was able to advance to the third level of Immortal Seed Transformation.”

Li Yi sighed softly, "If there's no way out, you won't be able to make any further progress. Do you have a plan for where to go?"

Gu Tianyin looked conflicted. She wanted to help Li Yi, but she didn't want to separate from her.

Over the past ten years, they have been involved in burial activities and have met many practitioners, including Buddhist and Taoist monks.

He even used the Taoist method of observing qi to successfully disguise himself as a Taoist disciple, saying that he was taught by a wandering Taoist.

After deliberate efforts to make friends, he sent several tombs to the Taoist sect and successfully became friends with Tianyi Temple and Taoist Yulin.

In Buddhism, I also made friends with a female monk named Chanyun, who came from a mosque.

In this era, once an immortal sheds his shed, he is not considered a master, but he has also entered the path of immortality.

In addition, Gu Tianyin was already very talented and was proficient in the method of observing qi, so it was easy for him to convert to Buddhism.

"You can also go to the Tang Dynasty, but it will take some effort." Li Yi said: "I will be promoted to the Jade Corpse next, and I will also need to go into seclusion, so I can't be with you."

Gu Tianyin made a decision: "Master, I once heard Taoist Yulin mention something about a great catastrophe for mankind. Could it be related to the destiny you are looking for?

The young nun Chanyun also said that the calamity of the common people lies in the burial ground, and it seems that they are not just looking for a grave."

Li Yi pondered, "Dayun Tongtianjian" was obtained by Taizu of Yu Dynasty from the tomb.

This burial ground is the largest tomb group of this era. He also suspected that the clue to destiny lies in the burial ground.

Therefore, he did not reject his identity as a corpse creature and wanted to improve his strength, so he went to the nine mountains to take a look.

That place is where the energy of the burial soil is the most concentrated, and it is the place where the monks are desperate to pacify it.

If we talk about destiny, that's the most likely possibility!
But there were no burial grounds in later generations, so the burial grounds might have been pacified in the end.

Since it has been pacified, the destiny may not be in the burial ground. There are just important clues here.

"You won't look good without hair. You should go to Taoism, and I will go to Buddhism or Tang Kingdom as your master." Li Yi pondered.

"Master, can you go to Buddhism and the imperial court?" Gu Tianyin looked at him worriedly.

Even if a corpse creature has cultivated into a jade corpse, it is not invincible in the world.

The Buddhist methods can even restrain the corpses and dead spirits of the same level, unless they are in the burial ground, the restraint will be weakened.

If Li Yi went to the world of the living, he would be killed once he was exposed.

"You can go, but you will have to change your identity. Your master is proficient in disguise and also learned the art of borrowing a body from an alien." Li Yi said.

"Master, can you lend me your body?" Gu Tianyin said excitedly, "Then, Master, you can lend me your body and we can be together again."

"Once we find our destiny, we as master and disciple won't have to separate anymore." Li Yi smiled.

"Okay, then Master, can I get my revenge first before going?"

"Yes, I will enter the city tonight and capture all the people from the Three Heads Hall. You can do whatever you want with them." Li Yi sighed softly, "I wanted to leave it to you to take revenge yourself, but I am incompetent and cannot give you a better method. This is the only way I can do."

"Master has been so kind to me, and he has helped me avenge my parents. I have no regrets now, so I can put down my burdens and go to the Dao Sect."

That night.

Li Yi entered the city and killed all the people in Sanshoutang with his powerful corpse energy, and brought three senior officials out of the burial gate.

He was a man of powerful cultivation, and he rushed out completely, broke open the city gate, and scared the soldiers guarding the city to death.

The entire burial gate was instantly in chaos. The practitioners gathered together, feeling the corpse qi, and all their faces changed drastically.

A cultivator from the Divine Object Realm even stepped out, his expression extremely gloomy: "The corpse creature is about to enter the Divine Object Realm. When did such a powerful being appear nearby?"

"What do those corpse creatures in the burial ground mean?"

"Ask the Burial Ground, they tore up the agreement, are they trying to start a war?"

The cultivators were filled with rage, wishing they could rush into the burial ground and level the nine mountains right away.

The cultivator in the Divine Object Realm was very calm and did not lose his mind.

He knew very well how powerful the Burial Soil was. Going there with only a few monks who had mastered the Divine Objects at the Burial Pass would simply be courting death.

"Everyone, please do not enter the burial grounds for the time being. Wait for me to write a letter to inform the court and Xuantian Temple Taiping Zhenren, and then go to the burial grounds together to seek an explanation."

The realm of divine objects.

After hearing this, many practitioners calmed down and left.

Deep in the burial ground.

Kerosene was prepared and poured on the three people.

Listening to their shrill wails, Gu Tianyin finally got his revenge.

Li Yi also saw this half-dog man, with dog ears, dog tail, and a nose bigger than that of an ordinary person.

After the three of them turned to ashes, he sent Gu Tianyin out and chose an area with rich energy.

He waved his hands and quickly dug a hole. Inside lay a golden corpse that had already developed intelligence.

"How dare you break the rules and attack me?"

The corpse was very angry and its corpse aura was strong, but it was suppressed by Li Yi.

The roar echoed far away, and the shrill screams cut through the cold wind, making it even more miserable.

After a while, Li Yi swallowed the energy of the golden armored corpse, came to the pit he had prepared, lay down in it, mobilized the corpse qi, and controlled the soil to bury himself.

He is about to turn into a jade corpse, as for the rules?

He doesn't know anything about the rules. The worst that can happen is that we can just reopen the business!

"I don't know what will happen in the future. Ten years is equivalent to the realm of divine objects. If people from the future come here, I don't know how far they can go in their cultivation."

Li Yi suppressed his thoughts and practiced with peace of mind.

The corpse creature had a good start, at least in this life, he reached the peak.

Li Yi's action disrupted the burial gate and alarmed all the practitioners.

Three months later, an old Taoist entered the burial pass and went straight into the Nine Mountains. It took him half a day to come out of the mountains.

Soon, countless ghosts patrolled the burial ground at night, looking for Li Yi.

The old Taoist returned to the Burial Pass, talked with several Taoists for a while, and took Gu Tianyin and Taoist Yulin away.

The burial soil was restored and the practitioners dug graves during the day.

Another month passed, and Li Yi broke out of the ground. His body was as crystal clear as jade, and the corpse aura was overwhelming, far more than before.

He began to disguise himself as a cultivator, digging graves during the day and hiding them at night. This way, he would not break the rules of burial, and the dead souls and corpses at night would not bother him.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any advanced cultivation methods in the past ten years, but I have found many methods of raising corpses, all of which are for those who want to become living corpses after death.
