Chapter 728: Corpse Refinement (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The ability of the Mountain God lineage, “Mountain Fusion”, could allow Xiao Shi to integrate into everything connected to the ground. Even if it was such a special tombstone.
After it was connected to the ground and Xiao Shi used “Mountain Fusion”, he successfully fused into it and successfully obtained the corpse in the tombstone. Then, he chose another tombstone where the corpses of Sages were buried and continued to integrate into it to obtain the corpses.
Just like that, one corpse after another was obtained. The corpses of the Sages in the tomb of the Tai Yue Clan had all fallen into Xiao Shi’s hands. At this moment, three extremely huge tombstones appeared in front of him.
Compared to the previous Sages Tombstones, these three tombstones were much larger than those Sages tombstones. Especially the tombstone in the middle. It was like a tower that pierced into the sky. It emitted a soul-stirring and terrifying aura. It was clearly just a tombstone. However, it made Xiao Shi feel like he was facing a mighty figure.
Xiao Shi knew very well that this tombstone was clearly the tombstone of the Tai Yue demigod! The two smaller tombstones beside him that also emitted a terrifying aura were the tombstones of the two Daolords of the Tai Yue Clan.
After Xiao Shi watched for a while, he didn’t choose to steal the corpses of the demigod and Daolords. With a demigod’s status, even if it was just a corpse, it wasn’t something he could touch now. Furthermore, even if he had the ability to steal a demigod’s corpse, it would definitely alarm the Tai Yue clan.
At that time, he might not be able to escape alive. Most importantly, even if he stole a demigod’s corpse, he could not refine it into a Red Refined Corpse through the Red Refined mystic technique.
Currently, he could only refine a Sage-level corpse into a Red Refined Corpse. He couldn’t do it to a demigod and Daolord-level corpse. Therefore, there wasn’t much meaning in stealing the corpses of demigods and Daolords now. Instead, it would alert the enemy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi did not hesitate and decisively retreated. He had already obtained all the corpses of the Sages of the Tai Yue Clan. His goal had been achieved.
A month later, Xiao Shi infiltrated a huge sect in the Heaven Sacrifice Country. In the same way, he stole the corpses of many Sages in the sect. It had to be said that the dream ability of the Dream Witch lineage had always been useful in stealing corpses.
When these Sages were caught off guard, he could easily pull them into a dream. As long as he did not do anything to hurt or stimulate them in the dream, it was very difficult for them to wake up from the dream. They would sink into a dream.
This made Xiao Shi’s theft of the corpses of these Sages especially smooth.
After he stole the corpses of Sages from three factions in a row, he already had nearly 30 corpses.
Xiao Shi chose to stop in time and did not continue stealing. On one hand, there were not many factions that still had the corpses of Sages. After all, not every faction would build a mausoleum. On the other hand, the three factions that he had stolen the corpses from had already noticed that their mausoleum had been stolen.
This made the three factions extremely furious! They activated all means to investigate, vowing to find the person who stole the corpses. However, no matter how they investigated, they still had no clue.
In the Heaven Sacrifice Country, and even in the entire Wu Empire, such an ability to make people fall into a dream had never appeared. The other party could also steal the corpse on the tombstone without destroying it. This was completely unprecedented for them.
Even the Daolords and demigods had never heard of such an ability in the world. This led to their investigation being fruitless. However, this matter spread in the Heaven Sacrifice Country. It caused a huge commotion. This caused the other factions that owned a mausoleum to hear about it.
Therefore, they were also vigilant about this.
If Xiao Shi continued to move, there would definitely be a greater risk. He knew the principle of quitting while he was ahead. Just the corpses of the Sages he had stolen and the Red Refined Corpses he had brought to the Beginner Martial Era were basically enough for him to carry out his next actions.
There was no need to take the risk and covet more corpses.
Xiao Shi left the Heavenly Sacrifice Country. He went into hiding. He began to refine the corpses of these Sages through the Red Refinement Secret Technique.
Although this was the first time Xiao Shi had refined it, he did not feel any difficulty in refining. The entire refinement process was very smooth. The only drawback was that the refinement of a Red Refined Corpse usually took about a month or two.
If he wanted to refine all these Sage corpses into the Red Refined Corpses, he estimated that it would take nearly three years. Fortunately, he had a total of 300 years in the Beginner Martial Era, so he did not have to care about the three years of refining the Red Refined Corpse.
And so, Xiao Shi continued to refine the corpses. After he successfully completed the refinement of a few Red Refined Corpses, he suddenly discovered that the strength of these Red Refined Corpses actually had a certain difference.
Not every Red Refined Corpse had the same strength. And the difference in strength was mainly reflected in the physical strength of the corpse.
The corpse he had stolen from the Tai Yue Clan was clearly stronger than the Red Refined Corpses refined from the corpses of other Sages..
