Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 778 - 431: Evil Qi Gathering Clouds, Great Demon Skeleton, the Great Tomb of the Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm!
Compared to the unruly outskirts of the relic, the black fog-laden inner circle unquestionably seemed exceptionally dangerous.
Even though the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch took the initiative to explore, the progress was exceedingly slow, sending the Yin Corpse to probe ten miles ahead.
"We’re a hundred miles out, they shouldn’t be able to hear us here."
After moving one hundred and fifty miles away, the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch looked at the Withered Wood True Monarch behind him, sending a mental message over.
To gain absolute freedom within this inner circle of ruins, he needed to reach a consensus with the Withered Wood True Monarch.
If the Withered Wood True Monarch still insisted on following Elder Soul Devourer, he might as well prepare to head back after a brief exploration.
After all, when it came to survival tactics, he truly didn’t lose out to anyone among these old monsters.
"Hmm."
The Withered Wood True Monarch nodded, hearing that the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch was probing him. If his true self came, he would naturally collaborate with the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch. Entering the inner circle was to gain the opportunity to advance to the Vientiane Realm.
Unfortunately, his physical body was now completely manipulated by Elder Soul Devourer.
Not to mention, even when Elder Soul Devourer was at the same realm, he could put him in an extremely passive state through his physical body.
For collaboration, let’s see what conditions the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch is willing to offer.
"The various opportunities in the relic’s outskirts no longer hold much value for us. We enter the inner circle to take a chance. Following Elder Soul Devourer, during the exploration of the ancient tomb, we are just cannon fodder."
Seeing the Withered Wood True Monarch remained silent, the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch continued his mental voice transmission: "Although our physical body is extremely important, if we gain sufficient resources in the inner circle, we can completely abandon the physical body and re-converge a new one in a short time, proving to a higher realm alike."
"No matter how Elder Soul Devourer manipulates, it’s only on your physical body. The black fog conceals spiritual power; here, even though he’s in the Vientiane Realm, his search range is limited, and he will definitely rely on my Yin Corpses for pathfinding. This time back, for sure you’ll be in a close position with him, and if Elder Soul Devourer encounters an opportunity, he would share some with us, allowing us to step into the Vientiane Realm together, which anyone would agree to."
"The fear is that he might want to hoard it! Only by joining forces can we resist him; although both of us are just in the Nirvana Realm and can’t defeat the Vientiane Realm Elder Soul Devourer, as long as we injure him, he will have to consider us."
"No matter myself or you, our goals are the same, to gain opportunities in the relic to advance to the Vientiane Realm."
"Hope the Withered Wood True Monarch considers this well."
The Heavenly Corpse True Monarch spoke quickly, but his moving speed slowed significantly as his body suddenly jerked, frowning involuntarily.
Although talking with the Withered Wood True Monarch, he had long used spiritual power through numerous Yin Corpses to leap and detect scenes tens of miles away.
This is a technique derived from his understanding of the Yin Corpse Dao.
Before his mental power ultimately settled on this Yin Corpse stood a cracked canyon, with boundless black fog surging out of it.
If the Withered Wood True Monarch wasn’t following, and if he was alone, he would definitely have one of his Yin Corpses submerge into the canyon to see what lies beneath.
But now, it’s still mainly about preserving strength.
Since he knew the black fog’s source, he would directly report the matter to Elder Soul Devourer.
What to do then, that’s Elder Soul Devourer’s issue.
"I found the black fog’s source, no need to go further in, perhaps this source harbors a great opportunity, let’s head back and discuss this with Elder Soul Devourer first."
The Heavenly Corpse Master formed hand seals, and four Yin Corpses cautiously started returning from afar. Although he spotted the black fog’s source, he couldn’t guarantee there wasn’t other danger around.
Being cautious never hurt.
"The source..."
The Withered Wood True Monarch did not speak, but deeply observed the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch.
No matter how beautifully the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch described it, he wouldn’t let down his guard against him more than Elder Soul Devourer.
Being from the Demon Sect, they all believed in self-survival above all.
If one were truly to encounter an opportunity in these ruins, nobody would willingly give it up.
But cooperation with the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch was certainly better than with Elder Soul Devourer.
After all, as True Monarchs, when encountering opportunities, it would merely end in a contest.
With Elder Soul Devourer, what he might gain could truly be minuscule.
"What do you want me to say to Elder Soul Devourer later on?"
After a moment of hesitation, the Withered Wood True Monarch sent over a mental message.
"Nothing."
The Heavenly Corpse True Monarch’s cold face twitched, revealing an awkward smirk: "Just say I tried to win you over, but you didn’t agree. Elder Soul Devourer isn’t stupid, if nothing happened on the way, he would suspect you."
"I guess when we go back this time, everyone will head to the black fog source canyon. The other True Monarchs wouldn’t think of leaving the black fog, intending to guard against any outside dangers."
"At the canyon, you will definitely be next to Elder Soul Devourer, and then we will see how he acts towards us."
"There might be some dangers in the canyon, I’ve already noticed, preserve more strength."
Although the black fog obscures, making it hard to see everything beneath the canyon.
But the Heavenly Corpse True Monarch already had several assumptions in mind, as they had all perused ancient Demon Sect materials to prepare entering the Ancient Demon Sect relics.
