I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

"No wonder Tang Dao friend is so worried!"

Xiao Hong repeatedly watched the magical technique’s recorded images, speaking with a solemn expression.

"The struggle between the living and the dead is even more intense than the conflicts between humans and demons, leaving the creatures of the Nine Continents with no way out!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

In the images recorded by Han Chao, there were many cases of the dead being resurrected; corpses that had been dead for who knows how long, were revived under the influence of demonic divine skills, turning into Corpse Demons.

A month ago, the alliance received a message and organized experts to compare it with the remnant ancient tomes, and they have made some conjectures about the origins of the Corpse Demons.

"It should be the ancient demonic Corpse Refining Technique, it’s a pity that the True Monarch has not returned yet, his extensive heritage would surely recognize its origins."

The Grand Secretary shook his head helplessly: "The tomes record that in ancient times, the demonic path poisoned the living, and the righteous path joined forces to annihilate it. After surviving the calamity of the degenerate era, not much of the righteous path’s literature remained, and even fewer are the records of the demonic path."

Upon hearing this, Han Chao’s eyes flickered but did not reveal that his master was the reincarnation of a great power, which would imply that the Corpse Demons are related to the ancient demonic cultivators.

The deputy added, "Based on the resurrection and body snatching of Heavenly Monarch Yuanling, we can speculate that it was an Ancient Demon Monarch who reincarnated and refined the Corpse Demons to wreak havoc on the Nine Continents."

"Heavenly Monarch Yuanling!"

Han Chao asked in confusion, "Isn’t that the posthumous title given to Old Xu?"

Nowadays, the knowledge of the path of immortality announced on the alliance’s official website is mostly inherited from the official website of the outer sect of the One Qi Sect, and ninety-nine percent of cultivators practice the Great Mystery Scripture.

The Great Mystery Scripture is a heritage from a great ancient teaching, far superior to ordinary cultivation techniques, and everyone knows how to choose.

According to the information released by the alliance, Heavenly Monarch Yuanling was originally a historian surnamed Xu who discovered the remnants of the One Qi Sect during an archaeological excavation and then announced the ancient immortal cultivation heritage after making some achievements.

"Heavenly Monarch Yuanling is the real entity, who merely borrowed Old Xu’s body."

Xiao Hong said, "This matter involves resurrection and body snatching, so to avoid chaos, the alliance deliberately obscured the truth."

Han Chao looked around the conference room and saw that everyone already knew, a realization slowly dawning on him.

"Perhaps, the higher-ups of the alliance had guessed long ago that my master is the reincarnation of an ancient power?"

"No wonder no one has suspected this Loose Cultivator identity, full of loopholes!"

"These sly old foxes, not a word has leaked out, and they even elevate my master to be worshiped by the human race! Perhaps, my master also knew that they were aware, so he went with the flow?"

"Both sides know that the other is aware, yet they tacitly pretend ignorance..."

Han Chao felt his spirit in turmoil and quickly recited a spell for calming the mind, inwardly warning himself to not fully trust anyone from now on, especially those who have lived long or are very old.

The conference quickly ended, and, in fact, before Han Chao returned to Xianjing, the alliance had already prepared a contingency plan.

Today’s meeting was to determine the strength of the Corpse Demons, in order to decide which set of plans the alliance should initiate.

Xiao Hong looked at the terrifying Bone Mountain and the Ancient Demon Monarch manipulating it from behind the scenes and after a long silence, he said.

"The existence of the human race is filled with hardship!"

"No sooner has the calamity of the ferocious beasts abated than we face the catastrophe of the Corpse Demons; activate the final plan directly!"

...

In the southeastern part of Cloud Continent.

The human race’s vanguard army broke through the Heavenly Fox Abyss, and the Nine-Tailed Fox King fled in disarray.

The military camp was stationed near the Fox King Laboratory, where cultivators were busy deciphering the Formation and Prohibition, to facilitate the collection of various experimental data by subsequent scientific research personnel.

The demon race’s technology does not seek development in many aspects, but focuses on researching bloodlines and genetics, to return to the origin and transform into ancient mythical beasts and divine beasts, so there is much that the human race can learn from.

General Jin, promoted to vanguard general, rode around inspecting the camp, asking the staff officer accompanying him.

"What’s our next target?"

"South of Heavenly Fox Abyss was once Zhen Nan City of Old Zhou. This city has an extremely long history, known as Facing the Abyss in ancient times..."

The staff officer had obviously done his homework and introduced the history of Heavenly Fox Abyss in detail, stating, "The next target is Zhen Nan City. After its reconstruction, it will form mutual support with Andu City on the south side of Heavenly Fox Abyss, securing southeastern Cloud Continent!"

"From now on, stop calling it Heavenly Fox Abyss. Since it was known as Zhengyang in ancient times, now that we have repelled the demon race, we should restore its original name."

General Jin adjusted his uniform and looked to the south: "How far is it to Divine City Ruins from here?"

The staff officer placed his fist on his chest, bowed and replied, "Thirteen thousand five hundred miles left."

"I wonder if we’ll have the chance to rebuild Divine City in this lifetime."

General Jin had chosen to attack from the south by way of Binhai with a devout faith, vowing to reclaim Divine City from the hands of the demon race.

His soldiers and friends, influenced by General Jin’s teachings, many had chosen to believe in the Golden God. In the Southeast Military Region, this belief had already taken shape on a considerable scale, especially among mid-level officers.

The spread of faith is like a rolling snowball; newcomers seeking support and benefits often choose to believe in the Golden God.

This faith may not be devout, but it is sufficiently resolute!

Suddenly.

A communications soldier from the army sped up in a vehicle, saluted, and handed over military orders.

"Reporting to the general, urgent orders from Marshal Yan."

Marshal Yan was the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region and was also General Jin’s direct superior, answerable to the alliance’s cabinet.

General Jin read the military orders, his brows deeply furrowed: "Immediately retreat to the army, hold position at Binhai! Any fallen soldiers are to be cremated on site and brought back to the Heroes’ Garden! The corpses of the ferocious beasts are to be burned completely, leaving not a single bone!"

"What does this mean?"

General Jin confirmed the authenticity of the military orders, and after contacting Marshal Yan personally, he learned that the command came directly from the alliance.

"Old Jin, I know you want to go to Divine City, and we definitely will one day..."

Marshal Yan, privy to the details of the military order, said, "But now we must retreat. According to the orders, do not leave any of the soldiers’ remains behind. For now, all I can say is, this is also for the heroes, so they are not desecrated after death!"
