Chapter 617: Dead Man's Child (2)
“Who… who are you!?”
The young woman, who had just recovered from her shock, asked the person nervously.
The array formation in this small courtyard was created by a famous person. At the very least, in her opinion, it was already extremely profound.
To be able to easily break through the small courtyard’s array formation without even triggering the alarm, how powerful was this man in front of him?
How did they, an orphan and widow, provoke such an expert?
The man ignored her and looked straight at the boy beside him.
The young woman looked at the other party’s strange expression and her heart sank.
This was because she discovered that the man in front of her actually looked quite similar to her child!
“The art of intercourse with the dead. Hmph, that brother of mine is quite a blessed person. He can still have a child after dying for thousands of years.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. Speaking of which, I have to thank you.”
The man did not attack. Instead, he comforted them in a gentle tone.
However, when she heard about intercourse with the dead, the young woman’s expression froze.
The most unbearable secret in her heart was revealed to her face, causing her heart to be filled with fear.
That was the special hobby of the Polar Castle Lord.
The high and mighty Castle Lord did not keep the concubines for his own enjoyment. What he liked the most was to watch his concubine sleep with a corpse.
He would also feed the corpse some medicinal pills that could react like living people.
The experience during that period of time had greatly traumatized the young woman.
However, what terrified her the most was that the corpse actually made her pregnant and gave birth to this child.
Fortunately, after the child was born, all the suffering finally passed. The Polar Castle Lord never let her do such a thing again. She also treated the child as a blessing and raised him until now.
However, who would have thought that this secret would be mentioned by a man who suddenly barged in?
“Who are you?!”
Her voice trembled as she questioned again.
However, the beautiful man was no longer in front of her.
“Take good care of this child. I’ll pick him up when the time is right.”
The voice came from beside her.
She quickly turned around and saw that the man had one hand on Little Luo’s face.
In the next moment, her Little Luo fainted on the ground.
She rushed forward without caring about herself. The man did not stop her. Instead, in the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared.
If not for the fainted child, she would even suspect that she was hallucinating.
She quickly called the medical cultivators of Green Mountain Residence over. After checking repeatedly, they did not find anything abnormal.
On the contrary, after the child woke up, she discovered that he had unknowingly broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
She was worried, but she did not have a trustworthy expert to help.
She could only spend spirit stones to exchange for a small courtyard with a higher safety level. Then, every few days, she would go to the medical cultivator to check his body.
…
No one cared about what happened to the mother and son.
In the Netherworld, on the Yin side of the Back Yin Mountain, a tall stone giant was carrying Jiang Li and the others as they worked hard to climb up.
The surroundings were still the same vile environment, but compared to the last time he came, there were fewer wandering shadows.
Every thousand feet, only a few stars could be seen.
It seemed that his shadows had really wasted this place recently. It was unknown if the other shadows had been eaten or found a place to hide.
“This is really a peaceful place.”
Jiang Li threw the shadow monster he had casually grabbed into the coffin and could not help but sigh.
Along the way, none of the monsters that attacked them were decent.
Granny Nether Mountain had been missing for more than two months. The other monsters on this mountain naturally began to become restless.
They began to attack each other and seize territory.
However, those were only small fights. How could a true expert be so impatient?
Even if they seized the territory, if Granny Nether Mountain returned, wouldn’t extreme joy turn to sorrow?
Therefore, up until now, those powerful monsters were still hiding in the shadows and watching.
Even the Barbarian Stone Demon King was used as a mount to climb the mountain and travel. Only those ignorant fellows dared to stir trouble.
With Jiang Li’s current strength and faction, there was utterly no need for him to personally make a move. It could naturally be considered peaceful.
Under the huge footsteps of the Barbarian Stone Demon King, they quickly approached the mountaintop.
Two stone hands grabbed the long and narrow peak. The stone head had already risen to the same height as the Back Yin Mountain.
This allowed Jiang Li, whose eyes flickered with the Nine Nether spiritual light, to clearly see the boundary between Yin and Yang.
The spiritual qi in his body was spontaneously stirring. Every part of his body was urging him to cross back quickly.
Jiang Li had already adjusted himself. Now, he was still missing the last thing and needed to prepare.
With a thought, a dense black color surged towards them from afar.
The shadow was extremely fast. When they got closer, it made one’s scalp go numb.
Under the moonlight, there were countless mosquito shadows flying around. However, there were no mosquitoes in the air.
The few shadows that were originally hiding nearby were unlucky to be discovered by the mosquito shadow and were instantly sucked dry.
Only then did the large number of mosquito shadows begin to gather together. The huge shadow continuously shrunk, and in the end, it transformed into a humanoid shadow with the same outline as Jiang Li’s movements and stuck tightly to the ground.
He looked at himself from the shadow’s perspective. It was still that familiar awkward feeling.
However, he also felt the majestic energy contained in the shadow.
In the past two months, the shadow clone had used the Broken-Wing Black Mosquito’s talent, “Spirit Essence Absorption”, to devour crazily.
Up until now, it was unknown how many shadows it had swallowed. The terrifying power contained in it even faintly surpassed Jiang Li’s main body.
It could be seen how terrifying that unreasonable talent was.
If Jiang Li had not defeated the Broken-Wing Black Mosquito and sealed it again back then, the Ten Directions Region would have probably turned into a wasteland.
A peerless demon that was not inferior to the Blood King would cause a great storm of blood in the cultivation world!
The shadow took two steps closer and stuck to Jiang Li’s feet again.
Apart from being much denser than the shadows of others, there was almost nothing abnormal.
With the shadow, Jiang Li could be revived.
However, in this mountain, there was a treasure most suitable for him that was waiting to be taken.
Jiang Li took out another jade fragment and a small toe bone from the coffin.
After putting these two things together, the originally ferocious jade fragment immediately became much more docile.
On the way here, Jiang Li chanted the Three Sovereign Scripture repeatedly. Not long ago, he had already refined it.
“As the three demons of the Xuanyuan Tomb, you received the favor of the Human Emperor’s lineage.”
“However, you three sisters repaid kindness with ingratitude and stole the final providence of the Shang Dynasty. The calamity of a thousand lifetimes was not an unjust punishment.”
This jade fragment and the pipa woman who had been a prostitute for a thousand lifetimes were none other than the Jade Pipa Spirit of the three demons of the Xuanyuan Tomb!
In the entire Divine Investiture Tribulation, one could say that King Zhou had lost the most miserably, the bloodline of the Human Emperor had been severed in his hands. He had let down the ancestors of the human race.
The second most miserable ones were definitely the three demons of the Xuanyuan Tomb.
They could only blame themselves for being too stupid.
After accepting the mission from Goddess Nüwa, they thought that there was a Sage behind them.
They had actually offended both sides in such a critical situation.
They did not want to curry favor with the Human Emperor, and they had also offended the other party.
In the end, Nüwa turned around and denied it. They ended up losing everything.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Daji had the protection of King Zhou, so she could still land in the Fox Immortal Queen’s Tomb in the end.
The other two were in a worse state.
If not for Daji secretly hiding the main body of the Jade Pipa Spirit in the Back Yin Mountain, she would probably not have been able to escape the bitter sea until the reincarnation cycle of the Cultivationless Age shattered.
“You’ll make some contributions to the Human Emperor’s bloodline now to atone for your sins!”
