The huge ship-shaped magical artifact quickly traveled through the universe.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
The ship-shaped magical artifact came to a stop.
Many people stood on the deck.
They looked down at the azure planet below, looking excited and greedy. They couldn’t wait to go over.
The black-bearded elder was different from the others. He had been sullen since a few days ago, and his brows were knitted into a deep frown.
This planet was too strange. It was in a barren area, but it held life. In addition, there was also a significant amount of spiritual energy.
He had never encountered such a situation in his entire cultivation life. It was truly strange.
What was even more bizarre was that his divine consciousness could not enter, which meant that this planet blocked divine consciousnesses from prying.
There were many ways to do so.
Together with the amount of spiritual energy on this planet, the black-bearded elder had some guesses.
“Guang Bai, Guang Jiu, the two of you, control the Silver Corpse to go check out the situation!” The black-bearded old man commanded.
“Now?”
“Mm!”
After Guang Bai and Guang Jiu heard him, they silently chanted incantations. The wooden boxes on their backs that looked like small coffins opened, and two Silver Corpses flew out.
Silver Corpses were a unique method that belonged to the Corpse Refinement Faction.
The Corpse Refinement Faction was considered a very ancient cultivation system.
They did not cultivate magical artifacts or spells. All they did was deal with corpses.
In the cultivation world, the Corpse Refinement Faction could be said to be universally condemned.
The main reason was that the Corpse Refiners often dug up other people’s ancestral graves so they could cultivate the Dao of Corpse Refinement.
The so-called Dao Corpse Refinement was to refine a corpse into a special dharma body that could be controlled by them.
To the Corpse Refinement Faction, these dharma bodies were called Zombies.
Zombies were divided into ranks. Iron Corpses were of the lowest rank, while Emperor Corpses were ranked highest.
Zombies could use all the spells and divine arts they had when they were alive, and it wouldn’t consume any Dharmic powers or True Qi. Furthermore, if their bodies were damaged, they could quickly recover.
This trait was very similar to the Edo Tensei in Naruto.
Guang Bai and Guang Jiu’s Silver Corpses were both sword cultivators when they were alive. After being refined, they were much stronger than when they were alive.
From their appearance, they looked like they were humans with flesh and blood. Their eyes were bright, and their words and actions were no different from a living person.
Even immortals would find it difficult to spot the difference.
Because of this characteristic, the Zombies of the Corpse Refining Faction were more or less mixed among the various cultivation factions.
Since ancient times, exterminating the Corpse Refinement Faction was a long-cherished wish of the cultivation world. However, despite multiple attempts, they still could not be completely wiped out.
At this moment, the two Silver Corpses on the deck set off.
As sword cultivators before their death, they moved very quickly.
The swords beneath their feet were like meteors. They entered the planet’s atmosphere in the blink of an eye.
“Elder, my divine consciousness still can’t penetrate inside,” said Guang Bai.
“Elder, the same goes for me,” followed Guang Jiu immediately.
The black-bearded elder pondered for a moment before saying, “It seems like we can only find out the truth when we enter.”
“Shall we go in now?”
“Go!”
With that said, the two Silver Corpses broke through the atmosphere and entered the planet without any resistance.
“Elder, we can use our divine consciousness now,” Guang Jiu and Guang Jiu said excitedly.
“Quick, take a look at the situation inside.”
“Understood!”
The two Silver Corpses had been in the Void Refinement stage when they were alive. After being refined by the special techniques of the Corpse Refinement Faction, the range of their divine consciousness had increased, and it was enough to cover half a planet.
They spread out their divine consciousness, and images of the places they covered appeared.
Everyone on the deck was shocked.
A few seconds ago.
Inside the Purple Bamboo Forest, Qin Chuan’s doppelganger from the Giant race was cultivating.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
“Immortal cultivators?” The Giant doppelganger frowned.
Previously, Qin Chuan had set up a barrier around the planet.
Not only was this barrier capable of blocking divine consciousness from outside, but it also had the effect of guarding against external enemies.
The moment the two Silver Corpses broke through the atmosphere, the Giant doppelganger sensed it.
The Giant doppelganger immediately contacted Wang Zhixing. “Peak Master Wang Zhixing, foreign enemies have invaded. Prepare for battle.”
Wang Zhixing’s expression changed. “The Beast Taming Corps?”
“No, probably immortal cultivators from the outer realm.”
“Immortal cultivators?” Wang Zhixing was particularly surprised.
The Giant doppelganger said again, “It’s not convenient for me to move now. Quickly lead disciples over.
“Now, I’ve only discovered two of them. They are in the Void Refinement stage. You must be careful.
These two are heading towards…”
“Roger!”
Wang Zhixing walked out of the hall and immediately contacted a few elders. At the same time, he told the other Peak Master about the situation and told them to make preparations.
The elders and Peak Masters were equally shocked.
Soon, Wang Zhixing left the sect with a group of elders and disciples and flew swiftly towards the two Silver Corpses.
At this moment, the black-bearded elder and company were burning with eagerness.
“I didn’t expect immortal cultivators. However, these people’s cultivation realms are generally very low.
“It looks like immortal cultivation is relatively new for them,” the black-bearded elder said slowly.
“Elder, given our strength, we can destroy them in minutes.”
“There are so many people, we can extract and purify them for the Myriad Corpse Oil.”
“That’s right! There are at least seven billion people down there. If they are all used to produce the Myriad Corpse Oil, everyone’s dharma body can be raised to a higher level.”
Everyone was restless and excited.
To the Corpse Refinement Faction, Zombies were their only means of combat.
The quality of the Zombies would significantly affect their combat ability.
There were many ways to improve the quality of a Zombie, but the most direct and efficient way was to feed the Zombie with Myriad Corpse Oil.
The source of the Myriad Corpse Oil was extremely inhumane and brutal.
It was produced using the sacrificial refinement of living humans.
The process was abnormally painful, and the scene was unbearable to watch.
The extraction of Myriad Corpse Oil was more or less the same as extracting vegetable seed oil.
About ten thousand people would produce a drop of Myriad Corpse Oil.
Since the Corpse Refining Faction was being pursued by orthodox cultivators, producing the Myriad Corpse Oil was impossible.
Therefore, the Myriad Corpse Oil became extremely precious.
Now, they had discovered a planet with life, and most of the humans living here had participated in cultivation.
The Myriad Corpse Oil refined by using cultivators would be many times more powerful than using ordinary people.
That was why they were so excited.
Compared to these people, the black-bearded elder appeared abnormally calm.
He noticed the two [Spirit Trees] below.
At first, he had wondered why there was so much spiritual energy on this planet in this barren area.
After seeing the [Spirit Trees], he understood.
The black-bearded elder was well aware of the value of the [Spirit Tree]. Even within the space fields, there were not many forces that had the [Spirit Tree].
The [Spirit Tree] had a long growth period.
It would take millions of years for it to mature.
The factions who had the ability to plant the [Spirit Tree] definitely won’t be able to wait.
However, to speed up the growth of the [Spirit Tree], it would require a lot of resources. It was not something an ordinary faction could afford.
The black-bearded elder carefully observed the images transmitted back.
He was certain that these two [Spirit Trees] had not matured naturally but had been nurtured.
This was terrifying.
It was already extremely difficult to nurture one [Spirit Tree], let alone two.
When he looked at the two huge [Spirit Trees], the black-bearded elder knew that this planet already had a master.
“If that’s the case, we’re in trouble!”
