Ancestral hall.
“It seems like the villagers here frequent this ancestral hall. Look, there are so many food offerings before the ancestral tablets.”
Meng Jingzhou was somewhat surprised. The ancestral hall was clean and bright, with plain offerings of mantou and pickled vegetables placed in front of the spirit tablets. “You don’t say. The food is still warm.”
Lu Yang noticed mantou was still giving off heat, as if they had been freshly steamed. “Looking at this makes me hungry. Let's eat something.”
Meng Jingzhou took out various prepared dishes from his identity jade tablet. These were purchased from the commercial street and could greatly aid one’s cultivation. Such were the wonders and advantages of spirit chefs.
Seeing these dishes reminded Lu Yang of the immortal chef residing in his mental space. Eating her meals provides even greater cultivation benefits. Lu Yang’s mood grew heavy.
Raising his hand, he tossed out a ball of Three Flavor True Fire. Without needing any fuel like branches, just a wisp of spirit energy was enough to keep the flame burning steadily.
The two heated the food over the flame, enhancing the already tantalizing aromas.
“Speaking of Big Senior Sister’s absence, can’t you use your Lu-Style Animal Form Fist to summon her?” An idea suddenly struck Meng Jingzhou. This is the most convenient solution. It’s not like Big Senior Sister would be affected by the karmic backlash.
Lu Yang shot Meng Jingzhou a sidelong glance. Easy for you to suggest when you’re not the one summoning Big Senior Sister. “Every time I summoned Big Senior Sister, it was a life-or-death crisis. It’s not like you have any emergency. To summon Big Senior Sister for something as trivial as your karmic backlash, do you think she’ll take care of your karmic backlash first or take care of you first?”
Meng Jingzhou imagined the scene in his mind.
Lu Yang summons Big Senior Sister. After she hears about everything that has transpired, she stares at me coldly, as if she’s looking at a dead person.
His blood ran cold. “In...in that case, forget it. Let’s settle the karmic backlash ourselves.”
Lu Yang explained further, “Besides, Big Senior Sister is immensely busy and has many important matters to handle. If I disturb her and she makes a mistake or gets things delayed, what then?”
This was precisely the reason Lu Yang wouldn’t easily summon Yun Zhi. While I can ask for Big Senior Sister’s help when I run into difficulties, it doesn’t allow me to hone myself, and I shouldn’t interrupt her crucial duties.
Unless Lu Yang faced a life-and-death crisis, he wouldn’t summon her.
“It’s a pity that First Elder isn’t here. With his experience, he probably could have offered alternative ideas.” Although Meng Jingzhou wasn’t certain what First Elder was up to outside, he could make a good guess. He’s most likely constructing tombs again.
Given First Elder’s penchant for building tombs and filling them with jiangshi, Meng Jingzhou was certain he had business dealings with the Corpse-Driving Sect. With his high cultivation and rich experience, First Elder might know how to handle their situation or at least direct them to the right people in Wilderness Province.
“I heard that the corpse-driving tradition here dates back to the collapse of the Great Yu Dynasty one hundred thousand years ago. The world was in turmoil, and rebellions swept across every corner of the land. This place was rampant with slaughter, with blood staining rivers and corpses strewn across the land. Numerous corpses underwent unnatural transformations, giving rise to many Corpse Drivers. Some came together to seek strength in numbers and eventually formed a sect—the Corpse-Driving Sect you see today.” Meng Jingzhou pointed to a section in the Anthropology of the Wilderness Province.
“So the custom runs deep,” Lu Yang mused. 100,000 years is already considered distant; even the Dao-Seeking Sect, one of the most ancient sects, only traces back 120,000 years.
“Corpse-Driving predates even that,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy chimed in.
“Corpse-Driving Techniques already existed in ancient times?”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy smacked her lips as she reminisced about those eventful years. “More or less. That said, they varied wildly back then, and there was no standardized name like today, where they’re collectively known as ‘Corpse-Driving Techniques.’
“Remember that fool who knew Law Follows Words? Just his voice could command corpses. When he faced formidable opponents, he would burrow into cemeteries and shout, then corpses would come scrambling out. That was genuinely terrifying; one of the most powerful opponents I’ve met.”
For the Everlasting Immortal Fairy to call someone a fool, he must have truly been one. Lu Yang recalled this person. He was a troublesome opponent who knew Law Follows Words. His reputation in ancient times was resounding. He was among the prime candidates for ascending to an immortal, and later generations passed down his legends. However, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy ambushed him, and after he yelled, “The pain is killing me!” he really ended up dying.
“Then there was that person who formed the Harem Golden Core. By chance, he nurtured a beautiful jiangshi. After a period of bonding, she developed emotions and advanced to the level of a hanba drought demon, as if she had truly resurrected. Eventually, she joined that guy’s harem.”
Lu Yang also recalled the person with the Harem Golden Core. He was surrounded by countless beauties, with many in his harem. With the help of various beauties, he cultivated the Blissful Union art and trained with women every night, allowing his cultivation to skyrocket. However, due to his failure in managing the relations within his harem, he was ultimately torn to pieces by these women.
Honestly speaking, if we exclude the final outcome, the experiences of this Harem Golden Core prodigy are pretty enviable.
“Immortal Fairy, do you know Corpse-Driving Techniques?”
“Of course! This immortal uses the peak Corpse-Driving Technique!”
“You do?” Lu Yang’s eyes lit up in surprise. As expected of the Immortal Fairy! She knows every spell, and even the finest ones! Hers will definitely be superior to the Corpse-Driving Sect’s techniques!
“Do you want to learn the Play-Dead Technique?”
“I want... hold on, Play-Dead Technique?” Lu Yang quickly reacted.
“Yes! I’ll first play dead, and then revive—isn’t that the peak Corpse-Driving Technique?”
Lu Yang fell silent. Resurrecting the dead does qualify as a peak Corpse-Driving Technique, but I can’t help but find something off.
Recalling something else, he asked, “Apart from your Play-Dead Technique, are there other Corpse-Driving Techniques that can resurrect the dead?”
“Not sure.”
“Not sure?”
“In theory, there are, but I’ve yet to see any Corpse-Driving Technique rivalling my Play-Dead Technique.
“The five of us had discussed this issue when we gathered for meals. Logically speaking, peak Corpse-Driving Techniques can resurrect the dead, but with the original soul gone and a new consciousness born within the old body, how can it be called resurrection?”
Lu Yang wondered, Did the four other immortals raise this topic because they were worried about suddenly dropping dead from eating your food?
“Wait, something is approaching!” Lu Yang didn’t continue the conversation, abruptly exiting his mental space. He sensed multiple entities drawing near, and judging by the sounds, the number was overwhelming!
Almost simultaneously, Meng Jingzhou reacted, assuming a stance to defend against their enemies.
Bang! The doors to the ancestral hall burst open, revealing hordes of shriveled corpses outside. At a glance, there were close to a hundred!
The two released their spiritual consciousness and realized these withered corpses had completely surrounded the ancestral hall!
“Why are there walking corpses everywhere in Wilderness Province?”
