Chapter 836: Chapter 836 Seclusion

"It worked!"

After exhausting countless precious Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Lin Chen finally successfully refined the corpse of Xue Yuanqing into an incomparably powerful Corpse Puppet.

Xue Yuanqing’s body itself contained a rich Yin Sha Qi, hence during the refining process, Lin Chen added the Death Qi Mysteries, a force similar to the death qi of the Dark Demon Race.

While refining this Corpse Puppet, Lin Chen invested the most valuable Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he possessed, allowing the Corpse Puppet to exhibit strength surpassing that of Xue Yuanqing during his lifetime.

However, Lin Chen did not plan on using his Divine Soul Power to control the Corpse Puppet.

Despite the successful refinement of the Corpse Puppet, able to exert force beyond the Peak of the Nirvana Realm, even approaching a Half-step to Creation Realm, it would require powerful Divine Soul Power to operate.

Lin Chen’s Divine Soul Power, though not much different from a Peak of Nirvana Realm Expert, could not possibly forsake his physical body and control the Corpse Puppet with his Divine Soul Power alone during combat against enemies.

Therefore, before refining the Corpse Puppet, Lin Chen had already decided to let Master Qingxu dwell within and control it. With Master Qingxu’s former Cultivation at the Peak of the Creation Realm, he would certainly be able to fully exploit the Corpse Puppet’s power.

Lin Chen disliked the acts of usurping others’ bodies or devouring souls, thus he presented Master Qingxu with this choice.

Although Master Qingxu inwardly loathed the Yin Sha Qi in the corpse body, after following Lin Chen to the Eastern Domain of the Mysterious Heaven Continent, he realized that the strongest experts he encountered were only at the Peak of Nirvana Realm, and recently Qin Batian who had made a breakthrough in Cultivation.

Thus, Master Qingxu had no other choice but to dwell within the Corpse Puppet.

"Rest assured, Master Qingxu, if I find a more suitable body in the future, I will certainly refine for you a body that you’re satisfied with."

"For now, you’ll have to bear with it and stay in there, to serve as a formidable force when I need you."

"After all, you have been dwelling within my Soul Sea, I cannot let you live there for free."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Master Qingxu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Lin Chen’s plan was not to expel him from the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Over the past two years, Master Qingxu’s Divine Soul Power, which had almost dissipated, had recovered to about thirty to forty percent while staying within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

If he could continue to stay here, his Divine Soul Power would likely be fully restored soon, and he might even surpass his previous level.

At first, when Lin Chen asked Master Qingxu to inject himself into the corpse, he was reluctant, but had no choice but to obey.

Later, Lin Chen clarified that it was only temporary residence.

After all, Master Qingxu had been a Peak of Creation Realm Expert at his peak, and to resurrect with this body would be a terrible waste of his Soul Body.

"Thank you, young master. I would readily climb mountains of swords and plunge into seas of flames for you," said Master Qingxu, expressing his willingness immediately. If he were to completely merge with the Corpse Puppet, it would be tantamount to being reborn, and to separate from this body again would entail immense pain, and most of his Divine Soul Power would remain in the body, tantamount to experiencing death again.

However, if it was just a temporary residence, it would be different.

This would not cause any damage to the Divine Soul, and he could leave the body at any time.

For other Soul Bodies in the state of Divine Souls, they eagerly want to acquire a new body to be reborn in as soon as possible, because in the world, souls would only grow weaker if not nourished by special Treasures. There is also the risk of being devoured by those practicing Evil Techniques, becoming nourishment for them to grow stronger. However, Master Qingxu was different; he was not in a hurry to be reborn but preferred to stay in the space of Lin Chen’s Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

There, not only would his Divine Soul not weaken, but it would also grow stronger.

"What a spineless creature, to willingly become his lapdog for such trivial favors," scoffed the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit while perching atop the Dragon Fang Dagger, legs crossed, looking down on Master Qingxu disdainfully. Master Qingxu did not take offense and could only force a dry laugh in response to the disdain and ridicule.

After all, even in his peak, he had never seen such powerful artifacts as the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit. Although both the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and the Dragon Fang Dagger were severely damaged and very weak, they could easily eradicate Master Qingxu as if he were no more than an ant to be squashed.

At this moment, Lin Chen stored the refined Corpse Puppet into the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, his Divine Soul morphing into a figure of Golden Light, slowly approaching the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to study the Cryptic Glyphs and Seals on the Three-legged Cauldron.

Lin Chen had acquired the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron for quite some years by now, and through these years of research, he had mastered most of the recuperated Cryptic Glyphs and Seals.

These glyphs and seals served as keystones to Formations, capable of transforming into the Formations of all things under heaven and earth, crushing all existing Formations in the Mysterious Heaven Continent.

However, through Lin Chen’s observation, the currently restored runes might still be less than one-tenth of the runes on the body of the cauldron.

After mastering these runes, Lin Chen had become an extraordinary Array Master, who could almost crush all Array Masters in the Eastern Domain. He could not imagine what level of mastery in Formations he could reach if one day all the runes on the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron were restored.

After the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron absorbed a few Heavenly Yin Pearls, a few new runes again appeared on the cauldron’s body.

Discovering that these were a completely new set of runes, Lin Chen immediately began to study them earnestly.

A month later, Lin Chen’s secluded cultivation on Qingtian Peak triggered a powerful essence of the Dao, with a pillar of Golden Light shooting into the sky, the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth swirling around the peak, even transforming into strands of Xuan Huang Qi.

These Xuan Huang Qi were immediately attracted to the mountain’s cave dwelling. Inside the cave, Lin Chen sat cross-legged, his body emitting rays of Golden Light, full of Dao Resonance.
