Chapter 1628: Is Death a Prerequisite for Corpse Dao?

Chapter 1628: Chapter 1628: Is Death a Prerequisite for Corpse Dao?

The white-shrouded corpse spoke earnestly.

However, its subtly trembling form seemed to be lacking in confidence.

Wang Mang took in the condition of the corpse with a speechless exasperation.

With such goods on offer, proclaiming to have the chance to pass on the mastery of Corpse Dao, how could he just not believe it?

Turning his gaze to Abyss Xuanming, Wang Mang asked in puzzlement, "Are you sure this thing can grant you an opportunity?"

"If it were up to me, it would be better to just devour it directly."

At these words, a look of agreement appeared on Abyss Xuanming’s face.

His gaze moved up and down the white-shrouded corpse.

He had seen everything that transpired just moments ago very clearly.

In front of Wang Mang, this creature had not even the slightest power to fight back.

Completely crushed, it seemed that its only specialty was taking a beating and nothing else.

The formidable and strange strength of Corpse Dao, as the rumors suggested, was not exhibited at all.

With this thought, Abyss Xuanming’s look towards the corpse suddenly changed.

The thing he had nurtured with painstaking effort was so weak.

Even with the combat strength of the first level of the Eternal Realm, it still seemed inadequate in Abyss Xuanming’s eyes.

Following Wang Mang on his journey, they had encountered numerous Eternal Realm powerhouses.

Based on the combat strength displayed by the corpse, it could only be ranked at the very bottom.

The more Abyss Xuanming thought about it, the more regretful he felt.

Why did he place all his hopes on this corpse from the beginning?

The next moment.

A grim smile appeared on Abyss Xuanming’s face, "So you were deceiving me from the start, weren’t you?"

His piercing gaze fixed on the white-shrouded corpse, seeking an answer.

Upon hearing his words, the white-shrouded corpse fell into contemplation.

Given the current situation, truthfully speaking might bring it close to its end.

It cast a covert glance at Wang Mang beside it.

Seeing Wang Mang’s ready-to-strike appearance, it became more certain of this notion.

The next moment, a faint trace of Dao runes quietly appeared at its feet.

"The prerequisite for cultivating the Corpse Dao is death."

"After death, the Divine Power of Jieyin is used to transfer back a wisp of the Tou She Ancient God."

"And then, it is about nurturing that strand of the ancient god back to recovery."

After speaking, its gaze instantly shifted towards Wang Mang.

If anything was even slightly amiss, it would immediately flee.

After hearing its explanation, Abyss Xuanming was completely dumbstruck.

He remained silent for quite a while, and his face gradually grew somber.

The sparkle in his eyes also faded away.

All that he had believed to be true and had aimed for, turned out to be nothing but falsehoods.

Talk of defying fate was just a delusion he had convinced himself of.

Wang Mang, watching from the side as Abyss Xuanming became despondent, unwittingly furrowed his brows.

To strive till the end, only to find it all pointless?

He could somewhat understand Abyss Xuanming’s emotions.

Along the way, he had seen too many people and situations that ended up futile despite great efforts.

In a sense, he considered himself lucky.

As long as he was willing to pay the price, the system would grant him solid rewards.

Unlike others who, even if they dedicated their entire lives to it, were merely gambling on a one-in-ten-thousand chance.

After a long time, Wang Mang finally broke the silence,

"Xuanming, what do you intend to do with this corpse?"

At these words, the white-shrouded corpse’s body trembled violently.

Inside Wang Mang’s body, it sensed an extremely dangerous aura.

It was as if it had encountered its natural predator.

The next moment, it quickly spoke up, "Actually, there is another way!"

"Oh?"

As the words fell, Abyss Xuanming immediately came back to his senses.

Seeing that both their gazes were fixed on him, the shrouded corpse said quite seriously:

"After falling into the Corpse Dao, one can recover the memories of one’s past life upon reaching the same Realm as before."

"With your Indestructible body having fallen into the Corpse Dao, your cultivation will drop to the first level of the Eternal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mang also looked towards Abyss Xuanming, wanting to hear his thoughts.

Abyss Xuanming, without any hesitation, directly spoke up, "Fine! If that’s the case, let’s start right away."

"It’s just recultivating the Indestructible Realm once more."

Hearing his words, Wang Mang also smiled as expected.

It was indeed in line with his character.

Looking at Abyss Xuanming, whose eyes had regained their brilliance, Wang Mang slowly withdrew the Great Devouring Dao that was ready to strike within him.

The next moment, the shrouded corpse’s voice came again: "Actually, I don’t have such power."

"I also stepped into the Corpse Dao with the help of someone else."

Instantly, a cold gleam flashed in Wang Mang’s eyes.

The look he gave the corpse was filled with malice.

Feeling Wang Mang’s gaze, the inside of the corpse skipped a beat.

The Dao runes underneath its feet instantly began to operate.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became as tense as a drawn bow.

It seemed that any slight movement would trigger a great battle.

Just then, Abyss Xuanming placed a hand on Wang Mang’s shoulder and asked slowly, "Do you know where the person who helped you is now?"

At his words, the shrouded corpse instantly fell silent.

If it spoke now, what if it were to be cast aside after being used?

It did not trust the character of these two at all.

With this thought, it organized its language and spoke as if it were a matter of course: "Well... I need to restore my strength to the 5th Sky of the Eternal Realm."

"Only then will I regain some memory."

Upon hearing this, both Wang Mang and Abyss Xuanming had strange expressions on their faces.

This reason seemed all too convenient.

The two exchanged a look, the meaning clear without words.

For now, Abyss Xuanming needed the corpse, so it was untouchable.

Even knowing that these words were very likely a lie.

With that thought, Wang Mang had no choice but to let it be.

What a pity, after all, it was a corpse at the ninth-level Zenith Heaven realm of the Eternal Realm.

Wang Mang’s eyes were filled with regret.

Seeing this, the shrouded corpse finally let out a slow breath of relief.

Its life had been saved, after all.

Thereafter, it also stood silently in place.

Abyss Xuanming glanced lightly at the corpse, a mysterious aura shining in his eyes as he said, "Brother Wang Mang, what do you plan to do next?"

At his words, Wang Mang pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "The Barbarian Tribe."

A glint of red light flickered in Wang Mang’s eyes.

Having come to this world, if he did not devour the strongest individuals,

Wang Mang could not rest content.

However, his current strength was still somewhat insufficient.

Then Wang Mang continued: "You take the corpse and start harvesting the souls from other cities."

"Leave the Barbarian Tribe to me,"

At these words, Abyss Xuanming had no objections and nodded, saying in a low voice, "Alright, then be careful."

As the voice fell, Wang Mang once again turned his gaze towards the corpse.

What if the corpse harmed Abyss Xuanming after he left?

After all, deep down, Wang Mang had come to recognize this brother.

He still hoped nothing would happen to him.

Seeing Wang Mang’s gaze, the corpse subconsciously looked away, avoiding his gaze.
