Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1680 - 1665: Shy Shii Wu
Next, the Corpse God explained the Purification Divine Pool, especially the Heavenly Cold Divine Water within it, to Shi Feng.
After listening to the Corpse God's introduction, Shi Feng thought to himself, "Heavenly Cold Divine Water can strengthen the body, rejuvenate one's whole self, and enhance a martial artist's talent!"
This Heavenly Cold Divine Water sounds quite similar to the Sinister Metamorphic Pill I once consumed.
The benefits I gained from the Sinister Metamorphic Pill were tremendous.
I hadn't expected that the Imprisonment World would also have something like the Heavenly Cold Divine Water.
Judging by how the Blood Devouring Clan, Devouring Prison advanced from Seven-star Demigod to Nine-star Demigod in five years, that Heavenly Cold Divine Water is even more mysterious than the Sinister Metamorphic Pill.
"So, you want me to fight for your Ancient Corpse Clan, also for the Heavenly Cold Divine Water. Hmph, do you think that just because I'm temporarily sheltering in your Ancient Corpse Clan, I should become your hitman?" Shi Feng sneered coldly at the Corpse God.
"Naturally, I won't let your efforts go in vain!" The Corpse God said, "I mentioned earlier the secret skill of my Corpse God Clan, which is a Nine-star Demigod-level Combat Technique! I'll teach you the secret techniques of my Ancient Corpse Clan, and you shall fight for us. If you win the first place in the Battle of Geniuses, just let me share half of the Heavenly Cold Divine Water!"
What the Corpse God proposed was essentially exchanging a Nine-star Demigod secret technique for half of the Heavenly Cold Divine Water with Shi Feng!
"Nine-star Demigod-level Combat Technique!" Hearing this, Shi Feng couldn't help but secretly exclaim in surprise.
This Heavenly Cold Divine Water is truly valuable, as the Corpse God is even willing to exchange a Nine-star Demigod Battle Technique for half of it!
"How about it?" The Corpse God spoke again, smiling as he asked Shi Feng.
"I agree to this!" Shi Feng said, "But you must also agree not to mention to anyone that Dugu Xingyun possesses a secret technique to leave the Imprisonment World."
"That's no problem." Shi Feng did not expect the Corpse God to agree so readily.
The matter of the Battle of Geniuses was settled between Shi Feng and the Corpse God just like that.
Gaining the Ancient Corpse Clan's Nine-star Demigod-level secret technique meant that Shi Feng wouldn't lose out in this Battle of Geniuses.
As a member of the Human Clan wanting to participate in the Battle of Geniuses and obtain the mysterious Heavenly Cold Divine Water, cooperation with the Ancient Corpse Clan was inevitable.
However, it was impossible for Shi Feng not to guard against the Corpse God.
From now until the Battle of Geniuses begins, there should be no trouble within the domain of the Ancient Corpse Clan.
But after the Battle of Geniuses ends, regardless of whether or not I'm the winner, I must be wary of this "corpse."
Obtaining an extremely powerful secret technique from a clan is certainly not simple.
At this time, the Corpse God, sitting atop the giant coffin, moved both hands simultaneously, forming a profound Ancient Seal. Immediately afterward, dense ancient runes emanated from the handprint of the Corpse God, floating obliquely downward.
Shi Feng's mind stirred, scanning the descending runes with his Soul Power, then relaxed his mind, allowing the ancient runes to flow into his brain.
Soon after, torrents of information flooded into Shi Feng's mind.
Corpse Transformation Secret Technique!
Reverse Corpse Secret Skill!
...
As the Corpse God's handprint dissipated, and the descending ancient runes had completely flowed into Shi Feng's mind, Shi Feng had already obtained the Corpse Transformation Secret Technique and Reverse Corpse Secret Skill.
Then, the Corpse God spoke again, addressing Shi Feng in a deep voice, "There are twelve days until the Battle of Geniuses. With your talent, you should be able to fully grasp the Corpse Transformation Secret Technique and Reverse Corpse Secret Skill by then."
"I should be able to!" Shi Feng replied.
The information sent into the brain by the Corpse God wasn't just the two secret techniques, but also included insights into the two secret skills and the essence of the two secret techniques!
The Corpse God had confidence in Shi Feng, but he had even more confidence in his own method of impartation.
"Hmm!" Hearing Shi Feng's response, the Corpse God nodded, acknowledging him, then added, "In a moment, I'll have Shii Wu arrange accommodations for you. During this time, focus on your cultivation of these two secret techniques."
"Lord Corpse God!" Just as the Corpse God mentioned Shii Wu, a woman of the Ancient Corpse Clan, Shii Wu's extremely respectful voice suddenly resonated within the Corpse God Temple.
"Hmm? Come in!" The Corpse God said.
Soon after, Shi Feng saw a female figure emerging from the ground before him, it was Shii Wu.
Upon her appearance, Shii Wu kneeled on one knee toward the exalted Corpse God, respectfully saying, "Lord Corpse God, humans have arrived!"
"Humans!" Upon hearing the word "humans," the Corpse God chuckled, then glanced knowingly at Shi Feng.
It was obvious that the humans had come for Shi Feng.
"Who has come? Has Dugu Xingyun arrived?" The Corpse God inquired of Shii Wu.
"The leader who arrived is the Great Elder of the Human Clan, Dongfang Hongshan!" Shii Wu replied.
"Dongfang Hongshan? Just say that I, the Corpse God, am in secluded cultivation and won't meet anyone! If he inquires about Shi Feng, just tell him you don't know. Go send him away." The Corpse God instructed.
"Understood, I know what to do!" Shii Wu responded respectfully once more.
"Go then! After sending Dongfang Hongshan away, come back and take Shi Feng to the Corpse Refining Hall." The Corpse God ordered.
"Corpse Refining Hall!" Upon hearing the words Corpse Refining Hall, Shii Wu's ashen beautiful face immediately showed a hint of surprise, which she quickly covered by answering, "Understood!"
Having said this, Shii Wu's figure slowly sank back down, deploying the Earth Divine Power of the yin corpse to re-enter the earth.
Shi Feng naturally understood that the arrival of the humans was surely to the territory of the Ancient Corpse Clan to pursue his whereabouts.
This also indicated that Dugu Xingyun indeed had no intention of letting him go!
"Old Dog Dugu!" Shi Feng muttered these four words to himself, a flicker of killing intent arising in his heart yet again.
That old man had saved him, and he had spared his useless grandson, making them even.
And if that old dog truly wanted him dead now, then he must die!
...
Not long after Shii Wu left, she floated above ground once more, returning to the Corpse God Temple.
Immediately, the Corpse God's voice echoed again within the temple:
"Shii Wu, take Shi Feng to the Corpse Refining Hall. Remember, during this time, Shi Feng will be our Ancient Corpse Clan's most esteemed guest. Whatever he requests, do everything to fulfill it."
To fulfill everything, this phrase carried much significance.
Even Shii Wu hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head, replying respectfully once more, "As you command!"
Then, Shii Wu turned to Shi Feng and said, "Let's go, Young Master Shi Feng."
While speaking to Shi Feng, Shii Wu kept her head slightly bowed, a hint of shyness like a young woman appearing on her face.
She naturally understood what "fulfilling everything" from Lord Corpse God implied.
Then, Shii Wu subtly raised her head, sneaking a glance at Shi Feng ahead, thinking quietly, "This young human man is actually rather handsome."
