If all these corpses were refined into Corpse Puppets and then fused through the panel, they would be able to play a tremendous role.
Time slipped by, and ten days had already passed.
Lin Chang’sheng had thought he could finish the refining in just a few days, but to his surprise, the refinement process flew by in a flash.
[Detected 236 Early Stage Integration Corpse Puppets. Fuse into 118 Middle Stage Integration Corpse Puppets?]
After Lin Chang’sheng finished refining the Corpse Puppets, the panel finally popped up with a prompt.
"Fuse!"
Lin Chang’sheng chose to fuse without hesitation.
In the next instant, over two hundred Corpse Puppets flashed with a white light and began to merge with one another.
When all the light faded, 118 Middle Stage Integration Corpse Puppets appeared.
[Detected 120 Middle Stage Integration Corpse Puppets. Fuse into 24 Late Stage Integration Corpse Puppets?]
The panel popped up with another prompt.
Since there were some leftover Middle Stage Integration Corpse Puppets, the total was 120 altogether.
"Fuse!"
Lin Chang’sheng clicked to fuse again!
Radiance flashed once more, and when the brilliance receded, there were now 24 Late Stage Integration Corpse Puppets inside Lin Chang’sheng’s Storage Ring.
[Detected 30 Late Stage Integration Corpse Puppets. Fuse into 3 Early Stage Mahayana Corpse Puppets?]
"Fuse!"
As soon as the panel popped up with the prompt, Lin Chang’sheng quickly chose to fuse again.
After a long wait, what appeared in front of Lin Chang’sheng were 3 Mahayana Stage Corpse Puppets.
With this, all the Integration Stage Corpse Puppets were fully fused.
All that remained were the Mahayana Stage Corpse Puppets.
Once all the Mahayana Stage Corpse Puppets were continually fused, he gained 7 Early Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppets.
Originally, Lin Chang’sheng already had one Early Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet, and after further fusion, he obtained 4 Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppets.
Lin Chang’sheng also refined Lu Shan’s corpse into a Corpse Puppet, making a total of exactly five Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppets.
[Detected 5 Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppets. Fuse into 1 Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet?]
"Late Stage Tribulation Crossing?"
Seeing the panel pop up with the prompt, Lin Chang’sheng was shocked in his heart.
So all the Corpse Puppets brought together could be merged into a single Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet?
With a Corpse Puppet like this at his side, Lin Chang’sheng would have a bodyguard nearly on par with an Immortal Realm powerhouse.
"Fuse!"
Lin Chang’sheng chose to fuse again, without hesitation.
This time, the fusion lasted much longer than before; it took half an incense stick of time before the radiance finally faded away.
When the glow dispersed, a gigantic Corpse Puppet, nearly two meters tall, appeared in the Storage Ring.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Chang’sheng summoned the Corpse Puppet out of the Storage Ring.
Lin Chang’sheng paced around the Corpse Puppet, looking it up and down, discovering just how overwhelmingly powerful it was—its defense alone was terrifying to the extreme. Other than a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, no other Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure could even scratch its defenses.
Really, how many Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures exist in this world?
"Once we leave Sunset City, I can try out this Corpse Puppet’s might."
Lin Chang’sheng told himself quietly.
He was already itching to test out just how powerful this Corpse Puppet really was.
Could it truly rival the strength of a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Cultivator?
Click—
Just as Lin Chang’sheng had finished fusing the Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet, Guo Yunchu pushed the door open and walked straight in.
After freshening up and redoing her makeup, Guo Yunchu looked completely different.
At this moment, dressed in a sky-blue skirt hugging her curves perfectly, with long hair cascading down to her waist...
A gentle breeze drifted by, making her look like a fairy out of a painting.
Guo Yunchu’s features were especially flawless, her facial features exquisitely crafted as if by the hands of gods; no matter the angle, her beauty was beyond description.
But as soon as Guo Yunchu stepped into the room, she saw the enormous Corpse Puppet standing there, and her pupils contracted sharply as she screamed out loud.
To avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Lin Chang’sheng rushed forward in a flash, covering Guo Yunchu’s mouth and holding her before him.
No way could he allow her screams to bring people from the Mou Family rushing over here.
With her mouth covered, Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand and quickly stored the Corpse Puppet into the Holy Soul Banner.
"W-what... what IS that thing? Are you... refining corpses?"
With the Corpse Puppet gone, Guo Yunchu was much less scared, and only then did Lin Chang’sheng release her.
"Since you’ve seen it, I won’t hide it. To tell you the truth, I’m an Evil Cultivator. If you piss me off, I’ll turn you into a Corpse Puppet!"
Lin Chang’sheng threatened Guo Yunchu.
It worked better than anything he’d said to threaten her before.
Guo Yunchu nodded frantically like a little chick pecking rice, scared out of her wits.
No way did she want to end up as such a terrifying Corpse Puppet.
"What’s going on?"
Hearing Guo Yunchu’s scream, Gu Shan quickly rushed over.
But what he saw was Lin Chang’sheng holding Guo Yunchu from behind with a hand over her mouth. Although he’d loosened up slightly, the pose really made one’s imagination run wild.
"Looks like I showed up at a bad time!"
Gu Shan tossed out that line, then vanished from the spot in a blink.
"Hey, it’s not what you think!"
Guo Yunchu just started to explain, but Gu Shan was already gone without a trace.
"It’s all your fault!"
Guo Yunchu stomped down on Lin Chang’sheng’s foot, fuming.
Moments later, members of the Gu Family also arrived, but thankfully Lin Chang’sheng had already put the Corpse Puppet away, sparing everyone from a much bigger scene.
"Patriarch Mou, we’ve been staying here for quite a while. Many thanks for your hospitality, but today we must take our leave!"
Seeing Patriarch Mou and the rest arrive, Lin Chang’sheng had no choice but to say goodbye.
"Immortal Master Lin, you’re leaving so soon? I haven’t even had a chance to repay you for letting me reunite with my ancestor. Why not stay a few more days?"
Mou Zhengyong suggested.
First, he truly hadn’t repaid Lin Chang’sheng’s favor. Second, he wanted to build a relationship with such a powerhouse as Lin Chang’sheng.
If their Mou Family could connect with Lin Chang’sheng, they’d definitely rise to greater heights in the future.
"No need. It was just something I did in passing!"
Once Lin Chang’sheng gathered his belongings, he got ready to leave the Mou Family.
Mou Zhengyong knew he couldn’t press the matter, and could only regret that he hadn’t managed to build a strong connection with Lin Chang’sheng and his companions over the past few days.
He had, however, learned a lot about them from Gu Shan.
All three of them had extraordinary identities.
Gu Shan was someone from the Gu Family of Futian Province, and Guo Yunchu was the lady of the Immortal Martial Hall.
Lin Chang’sheng was even the top genius atop the Immortal Domain’s Pride List.
Making connections even with just one of them, the Mou Family would be over the moon.
Too bad he missed out on such a rare chance.
Three thousand miles from Sunset City, Lin Chang’sheng saw that no one was around, and ahead was an endless stretch of forested mountains.
Without hesitation, Lin Chang’sheng summoned the Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet.
"Immortal Venerable, is that Corpse Puppet something you refined yourself?"
Gu Shan was stunned. That Corpse Puppet’s Realm was even higher than his own?
How did Lin Chang’sheng refine it?
Lin Chang’sheng didn’t reply, instead controlling the Corpse Puppet to unleash an attack on the endless mountains ahead.
The Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet was completely different from the others.
Corpse Puppets in the past could only attack with fists and feet, fighting at close range.
But this one could actually use Immortal Techniques.
At that moment, the Corpse Puppet punched out, and from midair, countless blazing Fist Auras made of fire formed, raining down toward the mountains ahead.
So many fiery Fist Auras fell like meteor showers streaking across the sky—truly a spectacular sight.
Rumble—
In the next instant, the countless blazing Fist Auras landed among the distant mountain range, erupting in deafening explosions.
The row after row of mountain peaks ahead collapsed like dominoes, as if the end of the world itself was unfolding.
When the last rumbles faded into stillness, the ten miles of land before them had become total ruins.
"Not bad. The power is actually this damn terrifying! It’s not a bit weaker than a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing expert!"
Lin Chang’sheng was extremely satisfied with the strength of this Corpse Puppet’s attack—and its defense was even stronger than a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing cultivator’s.
In a one-on-one fight, even a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing cultivator would have no way to deal with such a Corpse Puppet.
Afterward, Lin Chang’sheng had the Corpse Puppet move left and right, tumble and roll. Control was precise and smooth, as if using his own arm.
"With this Corpse Puppet, our safety is even more assured!"
Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself, then put the Corpse Puppet away into the Holy Soul Banner.
"Immortal Venerable, is that really a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet?"
Gu Shan was in utter shock as he asked again.
He could hardly believe it—Lin Chang’sheng, with only Late Stage Mahayana Cultivation, could actually refine a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet.
If he remembered right, even Evil Cultivators in the past could only refine Corpse Puppets of the same Realm!
Could Lin Chang’sheng be cultivating some even more advanced Corpse Refining Technique?
