Chapter 1500: Rebirth Flower
The Tai Chi Yin Yang Palm was a technique where one could divert and redirect force, using an opponent's attack against the opponent. At the same time, this technique was also much more powerful than other techniques of similar concepts. The cycle formed through death energy and life force could determine one's life and death with a single palm, and it possessed the potential for boundless might.
After comprehending the Tai Chi Yin Yang Palm, Xiang Shaoyun's comprehension of the profundity of yin and yang deepened. With his body as the core, two different powers revolved around him unendingly, making him immune to the death energy in the air.
Death Eyes!
As he gathered the death energy in his eyes, an aura of death erupted from them. A regular cultivator would be killed by a single glance from him. That was an extremely rare and sinister eye technique.
Xiang Shaoyun was someone with devil blood in his veins. He had also comprehended the devil dao. Now that he had also cultivated the Death Eyes, the many cultivators of the dominion would probably turn him into a public enemy if they found out about his eyes. Fortunately, he had a lord guardian as his master. Thus, nobody would dare to try anything against him even if news about his eyes spread.
After comprehending the palm technique, Xiang Shaoyun stopped cultivating and continued advancing toward the depths of the Wumo Pass. While advancing, he withdrew the life force around his body and wrapped himself in a layer of death energy. He entered a state of death, giving the zombies the impression that he was one of them. He no longer suffered any attacks from them.
As he went deeper, he found a large number of corpse bugs. These bugs were incredibly sinister and poisonous. Any regular cultivator would turn around and flee at the sight of them. Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even avoid the corpse bugs if he wanted. He activated the Black Yin Magnetic Field to destroy a large number of corpse bugs and zombies. Next, he took out his father's jade slip. Finally, the jade slip reacted, pointing toward the southeast. At this time, a terrifyingly large number of zombies started appearing.
Xiang Shaoyun did not want to waste any time and rushed over rapidly. No zombie could stop his advance. Soon, he encountered five Zombie Saints. The five zombies were clad in ancient battle outfits and equipped with ancient weapons. They were most definitely corpses from an ancient age. After coming back to life, their combat strength was most definitely not to be underestimated.
The five Zombie Saints might be strong, but they weren't anything for Xiang Shaoyun. He disposed of them speedily. After defeating the zombies, he stripped them of their battle outfits and weapons, which were saint-grade equipment. So long as he could remove the death energy from them, humans could use the equipment again.
"Perhaps there will be a lot of nice stuff here waiting for me," muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a slight look of excitement.
There was nothing wrong with that thought. After all, the Wumo Pass was essentially a massive graveyard. Since ancient times, countless experts had perished there. These experts definitely carried many treasures with them, which would form a sizeable amount of wealth.
Before Xiang Shaoyun could be happy for long, he encountered a lone zombie, a Zombie Great Saint. The zombie stared at Xiang Shaoyun and roared, "You're not affected by the restriction of this place? Looks like you carry a huge secret with you. I'll capture you and have the master deal with you."
It then lifted its hammer and charged toward Xiang Shaoyun. An intense battle erupted between the two. Xiang Shaoyun assumed that he would be able to easily get rid of this zombie as well, but when his attack struck the zombie, he found that the zombie's body was as tough as a pseudo-God's. This was not the kind of body ordinary attacks could harm.
The zombie attacked fearlessly. It had already died once. After being buried for countless years, its body had become extremely tough. Unless one was to thoroughly crush its body, it wouldn't die.
A regular pseudo-God would be helpless against such a zombie. However, Xiang Shaoyun showed no fear. The Divine Devilish Black Saber appeared in his hand as he severed the zombie's head and limbs before suppressing the zombie.
He then stripped the zombie of its equipment before moving away. His environment was extremely bleak and filled with death, and more zombies were appearing. Slowly, even Saint Realm corpse bugs appeared. Faced with such opponents, Xiang Shaoyun only had the sole option of battling.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had adapted himself to the death energy, he wouldn't have been able to unleash his true strength against his opponents. He couldn't afford to waste his time defeating them one by one. Rather, he advanced rapidly while defeating any opponent who stood in his way. His priority was still his father.
Soon, he arrived before a massive ravine out of which many zombies were climbing. A boundless amount of death energy was also coming out of it, and a unique-looking flower was growing at the ravine's edge. The flower emanated an indescribable power.
While absorbing the death energy in the air, the flower formed a seal that isolated itself from all the surrounding zombies. Only a single headless zombie mounted atop a headless horse was standing guard beside the flower. Xiang Shaoyun's eyes were filled with excitement the moment he saw the flower.
"A land of extreme death, a flower of rebirth!" exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun.
This flower was no ordinary object. Rather, it was a god-grade plant that had come back to life. Adorable faces could be seen on its petals. The expressions of the faces kept changing, as though they were resisting the headless zombie beside them.
The growth of a plant brimming with life in such a land of death was the perfect example for the concept that when something reached an extreme end, it could only move in the opposite direction.
The flower was known as the rebirth flower. It was a flower that had grown after absorbing a large amount of blood and death energy. The blood and death energy had been converted into boundless life force. This was a flower that could bring one back from death.
Xiang Shaoyun was excited because this was the flower that could perhaps save Old Drunkard's life by helping him reform his saint soul and regain his life. However, obtaining the flower wouldn't be an easy task. The headless zombie was obviously an extremely strong existence beyond the Saint Realm.
Xiang Shaoyun unhesitatingly turned invisible before approaching the flower. This rebirth flower was something he had to obtain. The rebirth flower was extremely rare and much more effective than any other herbs of similar function. One could say that it was invaluable and the king of god-grade herbs.
Xiang Shaoyun believed that he could steal the flower undetected, but when he approached, the headless zombie stabbed its spear at him. The zombie moved as fast as lightning. Not even a regular pseudo-God would be able to evade its attack. Despite Xiang Shaoyun's rapid reaction, he still couldn't avoid the spear in time. The spear stabbed through his shoulder and instantly broke several of his bones.
