Chapter 270 Ancient Corpse

The entrance to the tomb is not on the ground, but suspended in the air.

A space crack was opened by the magic circle, more than 2,000 feet long and wide, like a sky eye, stretching across the sky, reflecting a piece of mountains and rivers in the glass color, a small world.

There are many floating islands around the space crack, with various flags on them.

To open up a small world, one must have a certain understanding of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Laws. Chu Zheng has Yin-Yang Immortal Bones and a Five Elements Spirit Body, so he is not constrained in this regard.

Immortal cultivators can open up a cave world after entering the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm. Chu Zheng's cultivation is enough, but he has not started to try.

To open up a small world, it takes a lot of resources, and the improvement of cultivation will also be subject to some limitations of the small world.

Once the small world is opened, Chu Zheng will need to spend a lot of energy to improve the world's foundation. For him, this is equivalent to one more thing to distract him, and his energy is limited.

With the support of the small world, the immortal cultivators can enter the real inner cycle, and their dependence on the heaven and earth will be greatly reduced. The ability to continue fighting in the universe will undergo a qualitative change.

At the same time, the small world is also a means to improve combat power. Burning the origin of the world in a short period of time can burst out amazing power.

This is basically a means of bottoming out. It sacrifices the foundation of cultivation in exchange for a temporary peak. Unless it is a life-and-death moment, no cultivator will be willing to use it.

The entrance of the curtain is surrounded by evil spirits and yin spirits. The sun is in the sky, and it is still a bit cold.

This environment is somewhat comfortable for Chu Zheng.

He turned around and took a look. There were only a few breaths left of the many creatures that followed him at the beginning. The rest basically retreated because they knew it was difficult and no longer wanted to attack him.

However, because of this, the few breaths that remained were very difficult to deal with. At least they were all fifth-level beings. Obviously, they had a considerable degree of confidence in their own strength.

Chu Zheng opened his spiritual eyes and carefully looked at the space crack not far away, and his eyebrows gradually gathered.

The strong Yin Qi surged at the entrance of the tomb and continued to overflow.

This is not just a big tomb. In this small world, there is definitely more than one unknown strong man buried. It is a burial pit. It is unknown how many lives have died to accumulate such a strong Yin Qi.

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Zheng stepped into the air and headed towards the entrance of the tomb.

Before he could get close, more than ten figures rose from the floating islands in the sky and headed straight for him.

These figures have different auras. Only one-fourth of them are human, and the rest are alien races. Their cultivation is ordinary, and the strongest is only at the third level. For Chu Zheng now, they are not a threat at all.

Even so, Chu Zheng still raised seven points of caution in his heart and stopped.

"Senior, is this your first time here? Do you need a guide?"

"I have the latest map of the tomb here, which can save you a hundred years of hard work. Do you want to buy a copy?"

"My map is the most detailed. Fellow Daoist, you may want to take a look at mine first."

"This is the latest map drawn yesterday. It only takes two third-level spiritual medicines!"

"The yin energy is rampant in the tomb, and many evil things are breeding. Do you want to buy a few spiritual talismans to protect yourself?"

More than a dozen figures gathered around and spoke one after another, explaining their purpose.

In an instant, Chu Zheng realized that this tomb has existed for too long, and the news has spread far and wide. There are often cultivators from various races who come here to try their luck.

Many creatures have discovered business opportunities and have made a living from this.

After a little consideration, Chu Zheng rejected the guide, and then took out some low-level magic weapons and soldiers and bought all the maps.

More maps can verify each other, which is naturally better for him.

As for external objects such as talismans and magic weapons, Chu Zheng also excluded them because of their low grade.

After all, these evil things nurtured by the Yin Qi are similar to his current situation, and they may even be considered half of the same clan.

After a moment, Chu Zheng, who had completed the transaction, stepped into the space crack.

At the same time, there were no less than a hundred creatures entering and leaving the tomb, and they came in and out in an endless stream.

This tomb is so famous that few people within tens of millions of miles around it don’t know about it.

It is said that there was once a force that wanted to forcibly control this entrance to the tomb, and then asked for a toll from every creature who wanted to explore the tomb.

In Chu Zheng’s view, this is a very good idea, but the premise is that there is enough strength to support it.

The final result is not surprising. It was attacked by a group of people, and the follow-up was also inconclusive.

Since the day it was discovered, this tomb has killed countless creatures.

Now, quite a number of the monks who are still insisting on exploring the tomb are actually not coming for the tomb itself, but to search for the many legacies of the monks who died before.

This is also a very amazing wealth.

The moment he crossed the space crack, a strong Yin Qi came over.

Chu Zheng's breath was smooth, and his false form was directly torn apart. His hair with a strong purple light stretched out, and his bone wings were fully stretched out, spanning more than ten feet.

This environment, for him, is like a dragon entering the water, which is very comfortable.

The faces of several monks who followed Chu Zheng into the space crack changed instantly, and they stopped unconsciously with a look of doubt.

They found that Chu Zheng was surrounded by Yin Qi early in the morning, but they did not expect that this was actually a flying corpse.

The intelligence of Yin corpses is extremely low. Even if it is a flying corpse, its intelligence is at most equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child.

Moreover, even flying corpses would feel disgusted by sunlight. Although they would not be hurt by sunlight, they did not like to move during the day.

This Yin corpse, along the way, was obviously as intelligent as ordinary people, and was not afraid of the sun at all. All kinds of performances were too abnormal.

The most likely explanation was that the cultivation of this Yin corpse was far more than what it showed.

Abnormal things are demons. Several cultivators all gave up their previous plans and stopped following Chu Zheng.

Most Yin corpses travel alone, without the power of sects behind them. I don’t think they have much wealth, so it’s not worth taking this risk.

Chu Zheng turned around and took a look, and then retracted his gaze. These few people were still somewhat rational, otherwise they would have started a killing spree today.

He came to explore the tomb to search for opportunities and collect fragments of high-level spiritual objects. He didn’t want to cause more disputes. Now this situation is just what he wants.

The sky above the small world is also different from the outside world. The sun and the moon are parallel, and the sunlight is dim, faintly suppressed by the moonlight.

This is something that is absolutely impossible to happen in the universe, which means that the yin and yang energies in this world have long lost their balance.

If this situation continues, the yang energy will be completely swallowed up one day, the sun will go out, and this world will become a paradise for yin gods and ghosts.

Chu Zheng took out all the maps he had bought before, compared them one by one, and confirmed his position.

This tomb is in the shape of a mountain, with four mountain gates inside and outside. The outermost one has the widest area. The further you go in, the heavier the yin energy.

In the nearly ten thousand years of exploration, the cultivators of various races have only opened two mountain gates. The third and the fourth mountain gates at the core have never been set foot on.

The third major pass was entered by an eighth-level strongman, but he encountered a corpse king less than two thousand miles deep. After a battle, he was severely injured and had no choice but to return.

According to him, there are far more than one corpse king in the second mountain pass, and even the owner of this tomb may have become a Yin corpse after years of nourishment of Yin Qi.

Under such circumstances, naturally few people dare to cross the line.

The strong men who have entered the ninth level or even higher realms do not seem to be interested in this place, and have never heard of such a realm.

Chu Zheng's goal is at least the third mountain pass.

There are eight-level ancient corpses, which proves that there are definitely fragments of treasures comparable to the real immortals in that area. For him, the value is unquestionable.

There are many spiritual mines in this small world, and those that have been discovered have basically been occupied by various forces.

However, there are no rules in this world. There are often bloody conflicts, and the spiritual mines change hands several times, which is normal here.

Chu Zheng followed the direction marked on the map and began to circle around the outermost area.

There should be a lot of ancient fragments in this area. He has plenty of time and doesn't need to rush.

In order to avoid some trouble, he did not fly through the air with great fanfare, but relied on the earth escape method to travel through the earth, while emitting a weak divine consciousness to sense some buried fragments of ancient artifacts.

The Yin Qi underground is more concentrated, mixed with the unique spiritual energy of the earth, which makes Chu Zheng feel more comfortable.

Yin corpses originally come from the earth, and they are naturally close to the earth-attributed essence.

In a blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Traveling under the earth, Chu Zheng has harvested a lot of fragments of ancient objects, most of which are magic weapons and war weapons, as well as some talisman fragments and some strange and bizarre ornaments.

The grades are uneven, but they are not ordinary objects, at least above the second level, and there are quite a few of the sixth and even seventh levels.

For these, Chu Zheng was not picky and accepted them all, anyway, they can be used in the future.

Crack——

Chu Zheng, who was walking under the ground, suddenly heard an unusual crisp sound.

The next moment, he entered a slightly slippery and muddy corridor, and the corridor was filled with a very familiar atmosphere for Chu Zheng.

In front and behind the corridor, there were several shriveled corpses scattered in all directions, all of which died of blood and essence drying up. They were dressed in different clothes, and some were obviously alien species.

Dong——

A dull loud noise came, and a black shadow flew over and pressed Chu Zheng to the side of the corridor.

The corridor collapsed in an instant, and the remaining great force knocked Chu Zheng thousands of feet away, and forcibly carved out another corridor.

The thick arms wrapped in purple hair clamped Chu Zheng's neck, and a pair of bloodshot scarlet eyes were filled with deadly murderous intent.

There is no doubt that this is an ancient corpse, and its cultivation is very similar to Chu Zheng's, or even better.

Chu Zheng's eyes condensed slightly, and without any hesitation, he took out the cold spirit ruler and smashed it heavily on the head of the ancient corpse.

Puff!

The head, which was stronger than ordinary magic weapons, exploded instantly, black blood splashed, and the weak soul born in it was also wiped out instantly.

In one encounter, a flying zombie was dead.

The power of the seventh-level treasure exploded in the ground instantly, penetrated to the surface, and exploded a majestic earth wave. The dust and smoke rolled up thousands of feet high, thousands of miles in radius, and there was a tremor, as if the earth dragon turned over, and the movement was extremely terrifying.

After dealing with this ancient corpse, Chu Zheng couldn't help frowning.

After the calamity energy was gone, his spiritual perception seemed to have decreased a lot, and he could no longer predict his own good or bad luck. He only realized that he had a lot of discomfort when he faced the enemy.

Just when the ancient corpse pounced out, he barely reacted. If it weren't for the ancient corpse's strength, which was only comparable to his, he would be in great danger.

After coming to his senses, Chu Zheng carried the remains of the ancient corpse, stepped onto the surface, and left the vicinity first.

Such a big commotion would definitely attract the attention of many creatures.

After leaving for about ten thousand miles, Chu Zheng stopped on a plain, and then dived underground again, opening up a temporary cave in a few steps.

He could vaguely sense that there was something beneficial to him on the body of this ancient corpse.

After studying for a while, Chu Zheng suddenly realized, raised his hand and turned it into a knife, broke open the ancient corpse's Dantian, and dug out a Yin Dan.

This is the essence of the ancient corpse's cultivation, which can be compared to the golden elixir of the Qi refining practitioner.

At the same time, there is still residual corpse qi on the remains of this ancient corpse, which is also a great tonic for Chu Zheng.

If it were placed in front of ordinary Yin corpses, even if they saw it, they would not be able to absorb it, but Chu Zheng was different. With the method of taking Qi, it was not difficult for him to extract the corpse Qi contained in the remains of the ancient corpse.

Chu Zheng extracted the corpse Qi in a few strokes, and then took it together with the Yin Dan. Soon, he felt that his cultivation began to soar and rapidly approached the sixth level.

After digesting it for several days, Chu Zheng finally refined the Yin Dan and the corpse Qi, and his cultivation went one step further and entered the sixth level.

The purple energy around him was full, without a trace of other colors.

This tomb was obviously the right place to come. Not only these fragments, but also these ancient corpses, were also an opportunity for him.

Chu Zheng stood up with satisfaction and sent out his divine thoughts.

After a moment, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he raised his eyes to a corner in the plain.

The bone wings spread out, and the next moment, he crossed thousands of miles and came to a ruined temple.

The temple had obviously existed for a long time and was almost completely decayed.

On the plaque in front of the door, there were five large gilded characters, which were already mottled and slightly blackened, but the handwriting could still be seen.

‘Zhengchu Daojun Temple’

Looking at the dilapidated temple in front of him, Chu Zheng’s scalp suddenly felt numb.

How could this be possible? !

Zhengchu Daojun, it was obviously a Taoist name he randomly chose, how could there be a similar temple here? !

He suddenly pushed the door and stepped into the temple. On the three-foot altar, the statue was preserved as before and had not been damaged.

The statue was wearing a yin-yang Taoist robe, and his face was exactly the same as Chu Zheng’s body, without any difference.

In an instant, the chill in Chu Zheng’s heart spread to his bones, which was indescribable.
