Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 581: Corpse Dao Inheritance

"From now on, I am the Hall Master of the Blood Corpse Hall, Zhao Shibang!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Rather than controlling Zhao Shibang and letting him compete for the position of Hall Master of the Ninth Hall, Chu Nan felt it was better to take advantage of the situation and disguise himself as Zhao Shibang to become the Hall Master of the Ninth Hall.

Moreover, disguising himself as Zhao Shibang was relatively easy for him.

First of all, Chu Nan had devoured Zhao Shibang’s soul and knew his memories, so it was not easy to be discovered for flaws.

Secondly, Chu Nan was also skilled in Corpse Refinement and had mastered the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, making him unconcerned about exposing his identity while controlling the Spirit Corpse.

Zhuge Yun stared at Chu Nan in astonishment. If he hadn’t seen Chu Nan change his appearance with his own eyes, he would never have thought the Zhao Shibang before him was actually Chu Nan in disguise.

At least from outward appearance and soul aura, the person before him was almost indistinguishable from Zhao Shibang.

Of course, pretending to be Zhao Shibang still had some flaws, namely Chu Nan’s cultivation.

His true cultivation was at the seventh level of the Cloud Sea Realm, having formed seven Sea of Clouds.

Once involved in combat and his cultivation was revealed, Chu Nan’s identity would be immediately exposed, given that Zhao Shibang had only formed six levels of the heavens.

But Chu Nan wasn’t worried about this either. He summoned three Blood Corpses to his side and said, "Zhuge Yun, you first return to the Desolate Ancient City, and if anyone asks, say that during the competition for the Emperor Martial, Zhao Shibang was seriously injured and fled without a trace."

"Even the Emperor Martial found in the Underground Palace was taken by Zhao Shibang, do you understand?"

Zhuge Yun nodded and said, "Rest assured, Master, I will complete your instructions."

But soon, Zhuge Yun hesitated and said, "But Master, when will you return? The selection for the Ninth Hall Master is in seven days. If you don’t return to the Desolate Ancient City, there will be no chance to compete for the Ninth Hall Master."

Zhuge Yun had pledged allegiance to Chu Nan, so naturally he had no intentions of competing for the Ninth Hall Master and was instead worried that if Chu Nan didn’t return and he became Hall Master, he might be blamed.

Chu Nan patted Zhuge Yun on the shoulder and then said, "I will definitely return in seven days, don’t worry."

Then he directly left Zhuge Yun, heading for a place even farther from the Desolate Ancient City.

Zhuge Yun watched Chu Nan’s departing back with mixed emotions. On one hand, he yearned to be free and escape enslavement, but on the other hand, the Enslavement Mark continuously influenced his thoughts, making him increasingly loyal to Chu Nan.

Sighing, Zhuge Yun dealt with Zhao Shibang’s body and then flew back to the Desolate Ancient City.

Chu Nan flew for an entire day and night, finally stopping when he was ten thousand miles away from the Desolate Ancient City.

This place was an endless desert, devoid of any signs of life, and even the Spiritual Energy was extremely scarce, creating a suffocating sensation for martial artists.

On the desert stood a massive abyss stretching hundreds of miles, at least a hundred yards wide.

Using his Spiritual Sense to scan the surroundings, Chu Nan confirmed there were no signs of life before diving into the abyss, with the True Martial Holy Hall suppressed within.

"In seven days, the selection for the Ninth Hall Master will begin. I must find a way to achieve ultimate victory without making a personal move," Chu Nan murmured to himself, then entered the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

Zhi Tianping was still cultivating in the essence of Earth Mother, getting closer to reaching the fourth heaven.

Chu Nan continued exploring the True Martial Holy Hall, searching for inheritances that might assist him.

The True Martial Holy Hall contained various opportunities in Martial Dao, and Chu Nan hoped to find something related to Corpse Refinement or the cultivation of Yin Evil Qi.

"Found it!"

A brand new portal appeared before Chu Nan, causing his eyes to light up.

"The Corpse Dao Inheritance, maybe this is what I need!" Chu Nan slowly walked to the portal and pushed it open with force.

As the massive portal opened a crack, a dark gale surged from within, creating a suffocating sensation, making Chu Nan feel as if his internal organs were freezing.

"Sure enough, it’s Yin Evil Qi, the mutated power after a martial artist’s death." Chu Nan was elated, pushing the portal open completely and stepping into the Corpse Dao Inheritance.

This time, Chu Nan’s goal was simple: to find a method to refine Spirit Corpses reaching six or even seven heavens.

After disguising as Zhao Shibang, his methods couldn’t be used openly in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall. Revealing the Blood Pattern Sword would likely expose him.

To defeat Zhuge Yun openly and leave no room for complaints, his only option was to cultivate a Spirit Corpse stronger than Zhuge Yun’s, preferably reaching seven heavens!

If he could achieve this, he could defeat Zhuge Yun without personally exposing his true cultivation.

Upon entering the inheritance space of the Corpse Dao Inheritance, an icy aura engulfed Chu Nan’s entire body, and the lingering roars around him sent shivers down his spine, raising goosebumps all over his body.

At first glance, the entire space was filled with corpses, forming small mountains like the kingdom of the dead.

The dark, icy Yin Evil Qi gathered together, forming sharp gales that raged throughout the space.

A great number of corpses were shattered under the power of the Yin Evil gales, making a horrifying sight.

Seeing this, Chu Nan couldn’t help but exclaim, "Perhaps in the entire lower realm, only the Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses can surpass this place."

The Yin Evil Qi here was too dense, and the corpses on the ground were likely formidable beings in their lifetimes, any one of which could have become top-tier existences in the Celestial Crossing Realm.

Chu Nan slowly opened his Yin Evil Celestial Eye, the purple vertical eye appearing eerily enchanting, yet it shielded his body from being infected by the Yin Evil Qi.

"Since the Celestial Eye Fruit went extinct in the lower realm, how many years has it been since someone last awakened the Yin Evil Celestial Eye~"

Suddenly, a voice like the scratching of armor sounded around him, and Chu Nan saw a withered corpse emerge from the dark Yin Evil Qi, its eyes emitting a ghostly green light.

"Spirit Corpse?"

The Soul Dao Inheritance presented the Split Soul of Master Cloud Soul, but the Corpse Dao Inheritance revealed a Spirit Corpse.

Unable to gauge the opponent’s cultivation, Chu Nan respectfully said, "Junior Chu Nan, Master of the True Martial Holy Hall, greets the senior."

"Young man, I am known as Flame Corpse, created personally by the master of the Corpse Dao Inheritance," the Spirit Corpse Flame Corpse said, "What has happened outside that a mere seventh level Cloud Sea Realm martial artist can become the master of the True Martial Holy Hall?"

As before, Chu Nan first explained the changes in the outside world to Flame Corpse.

Flame Corpse listened and understood, but unlike Master Cloud Soul, he didn’t urge Chu Nan to give up the True Martial Holy Hall. Instead, he straightforwardly said, "Young man, it’s not easy to refine the True Martial Holy Hall. You came here with the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, obviously for the Corpse Dao Inheritance."

"How about we make a deal? You give me the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, and I’ll give you the complete Corpse Dao Inheritance."

Flame Corpse was straightforward, expressing his demands without any need for trials. Just by giving the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, one could directly obtain the inheritance.
