Chapter 172: Heaven Corpse Talisman

e are more than enough to refine the Ten Directions King Yama Banner.Qin Sang's face lit up with joy.Now that he didn't have time to check his harvest, Qin Sang shoved everything into the Qianjun Ring...The owner of this Heavenly Corpse Order likely held a not-low position within the Heavenly Corpse Sect, but was not considered high-ranking. Therefore, the Heavenly Corpse Order only contains a fragment of the Heavenly Yin Corpse Technique.

Qin Sang picked up the black bag again. It was called a Corpse Puppet Bag, a unique magic artifact of the Tian Shi Zong, used to store Corpse Puppets. It could isolate corpse qi and evil qi, preventing anyone from noticing it.

It also takes a considerable amount of spiritual materials to forge a Corpse Puppet Bag. Qi Refinement disciples could only use those cumbersome coffins to store zombies.

Putting all three things away, Qin Sang looked thoughtfully at the zombie before him, recalling the contents about the Heavenly Corpse Talisman in the Tianyin Corpse Scripture.

The disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Sect leave a soul mark in the Heavenly Corpse Talisman, and they control zombies through the Heavenly Corpse Talisman.

In the soul of this corpse, there must be a Heaven Corpse Talisman. Because the master has died and no one controls it, it shows its murderous nature.

If I were to take this Heaven Corpse Talisman for myself, wouldn't that mean I would have a corpse puppet comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator Judging from the prowess of the Corpse King, it was most likely a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator before being transformed into a living corpse.

Thinking of this, Qin Sang's heart couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He glanced at the man from Baiyun Mountain. This person was probably driven by the same thoughts, which allowed him to take such a risk.

After all, obtaining a living corpse puppet directly doubles one's strength. This is just the obvious benefit.

In the future, whether exploring secret realms or encountering perilous situations, it is possible to push the fearless undead forward first, perhaps avoiding many dangers.

He just wasn't sure if it would work. Thinking about this, Qin Sang carefully reviewed the Heaven Corpse Talisman secret art. The secret art controlling the Heaven Corpse Talisman wasn't difficult. After a few tries, Qin Sang easily mastered it.

Unexpectedly, when Qin Sang urged the secret art and his divine consciousness plunged into the zombie's body, trying to control it, the zombie suddenly let out a roar of fury. The Heavenly Corpse Talisman also trembled violently, sending back an overwhelmingly fierce counterattack that nearly tore Qin Sang's divine consciousness apart.

Qin Sang hurriedly severed the connection with that wisp of divine consciousness, his face slightly pale, his eyes sinking down, realizing that his idea was too naive.

Each Heaven Corpse Talisman is meticulously crafted by the Corpse Refiner. During the refining process, a soul imprint is infused into it. Even though the person has died, their soul imprint remains. Replacing it isn't as simple as it seems.

Unless the original owner dissipates their soul mark, he will be unable to subjugate this zombie.

However, Qin Sang wasn't completely empty-handed. After learning the secret art of the Heavenly Corpse Talisman, although he couldn't command a living corpse for his own use, this unowned corpse could still be influenced by the secret art through the Heavenly Corpse Talisman. He could manipulate its actions and prevent it from unleashing its full potential.

Since it was already confirmed that he couldn't be subdued, Qin Sang no longer fantasized and directly killed the beast.

The corpse had no master to protect it from the influence of the magic, and its Xuanhuang armor, which was normally incredibly flexible, began to falter under the effects. The strands that were deflecting the sword energy of the烏木劍 (dark wood sword) started lagging, greatly reducing its effectiveness.

Qin Sang divided his attention to activate the Ebony Sword, seizing the opportunity when the Xuanhuang armor froze. His sword energy surged and pierced the same spot repeatedly, leaving deep wounds visible to the bone. Until the earth-sha energy on the corpse could no longer repair itself in time, Qin Sang's sword pierced through the head of the demonic corpse, crushing its primordial spirit.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The corpse fell to the ground, but unlike the previous shambling corpses, it did not turn into ashes. It still retained its human form.

Qin Sang struck out a flame, burning the corpses to ashes. He beckoned, retrieving his烏木劍 and 十方閻羅幡, taking a moment to catch his breath before turning his head towards Bai Yunshan's and Wu Yue Sheng's bodies, his face etched with contemplation.

Moments later, Qin Sang burned Wu Yue's body as well, but he sealed the Bai Yunshan people's bodies in ice coffins.

Within the Heavenly Yin Corpse Sutra, the method for refining the corpse puppet, the Sha Corpse Puppet, requires the body of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Bai Yunshan initiated killing intent first, and Qin Sang naturally wouldn't have the slightest bit of mercy towards him, preparing to refine him into a corpse puppet.

Unlike zombies, after being refined into a corpse puppet, they are only slightly weaker than when they were alive.

...a cultivator at the Baiyun Mountain would refine a corpse, and its final strength should be slightly stronger than that of a Qi Refinement Stage thirteenth-layer cultivator. Its flesh could withstand an attack from a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, but it could only cause some trouble. It wouldn't be a bad assistant.

Especially since he is preparing to go to the Ancient Immortal Battlefield for training, the role of the Corpse Puppet will be even greater. In the vast and sparsely populated Ancient Immortal Battlefield, there is no need to worry about people discovering the existence of the Corpse Puppet.

However, Qin Sang didn't dare treat Wu Yue Sheng's corpse the same way. Baiyun Mountain cultivators were loners without powerful backers, so no one would avenge them if they died. Wu Yue Sheng was different.

As siblings from the same sect, Qin Sang knew that Shaohua Mountain wouldn't just sit idly by if a Qi Refining stage disciple disappeared without a trace. After going out, the living would definitely have to face an inquiry from their sect.

The cultivation world has countless unique methods. If any clues are found, although Wu Yue-sheng might have made the first move, Qin Sang's act of turning his fellow disciples into corpse puppets would be equally unforgivable.

Even Wu Yuesheng's life-bound Chi Yan Sword would be looking for an opportunity to get rid of.

Qin Sang sealed Liu Jiang's corpse, after all, Liu Jiang had helped him on the road. Qin Sang didn't touch his pouch, intending to return it to Liu Shan after seeing him. However, he wondered what Liu Shan would feel seeing this body, corroded by corpse poison and beyond recognition.

Then, Qin Sang beckoned with his hand, taking the belongings of Bai Yunshan and Wu Yue Sheng into his palm. He then casually wiped away the traces of the battle in the hall. As the evil spirits surged up, all clues would be erased clean; there was no need to be too meticulous.

As he deciphered the restrictions on the Xuan Tie Heavy Gate, he also kept an eye on the two people's belongings.

All of Wu Yue Sheng's magical tools, and anything else related to Shaohua Mountain, must be discarded. Spirit stones, pills, and spiritual materials can be kept.

This person's wealth was quite considerable. Just the spirit stones amounted to over eight hundred low-grade ones, and when added to the inheritance from the Baiyun Mountain people, Qin Sang's harvest totaled over one thousand two hundred low-grade spirit stones.

After breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage, Qin Sang continued to cultivate diligently in his cave abode. He didn't touch the five mid-grade spirit stones issued by his sect, adding up with what he had before, he had roughly a thousand low-grade spirit stones in his possession.

Two hundred and twenty pieces of low-grade spirit stones could buy a good top-grade magic weapon. Among the Qi refining cultivators, Qin Sang could be considered a person with a small fortune.

Apart from the Chi Yan Sword, Wu Yue Sheng had several other excellent magic weapons. Qin Sang could only return them to his pouch with a pained expression, ready to discard them. Compared to Wu Yue Sheng, Bai Yun Shan's possessions were much humbler. His strongest magic weapon, the Kun Tian Dou, was destroyed, and among the remaining few, only the Dragon Subduing Staff, a wooden staff, was worth mentioning. It was an excellent high-grade magic weapon with its own unique uses.

The body of the Dragon Subduing Staff should have been a piece of spiritual wood, but unfortunately it has already been refined into a magic weapon and mixed with other spiritual creatures, disrupting the structure of the spiritual wood. It cannot be used to enhance the Ebony Sword.

After the ebony sword was refined into the wooden spirit sword embryo, it became strong, but in a sense, it also became much more fragile. Any dissonance would greatly reduce the power of the spiritual sword, and even cause it to collapse directly, only merging back into the most primitive spirit wood.
