Chapter 289: Chapter 144: The September 8th Pact, Tens of Thousands of Martial Cultivators Gather!
At this moment, Lin Xuankong was controlling the Divine Soul of the Tier Four Corpse Scorpion and then looked toward the distance. He was currently located at the center of the Secret Realm, where hardly any birds or beasts survived.
In the next instant, he had already moved with the Divine Soul of the Tier Four Corpse Scorpion to a small lake nearby. This lake was not a Cold Pool; it was an ordinary lake with numerous fish swimming inside.
Lin Xuankong’s gaze fell upon a Yu. Instantly, the seemingly illusory Divine Soul of the Tier Four Corpse Scorpion landed upon the Yu.
The Yu, which had been swimming, suddenly stiffened and then started to twist and turn violently in the water. The Yu’s body had unmistakably been possessed by the Tier Four Corpse Scorpion!
Its tail arched sharply like a scorpion’s, and its pectoral fins paddled vigorously, resembling a scorpion crawling.
However, this was in water, not on land. The scorpion Yu struggled for some time, continually sinking to the bottom. It was only after dozens of breaths that it finally grasped how to swim and gradually began to move through the water. After all, it was a Corpse Scorpion, inherently skilled at controlling the bodies of other creatures. Had it been another Divine Soul, it would have taken much longer to control the Yu’s body!
Yet, it was a Tier Four Corpse Scorpion with powerful abilities, capable of arbitrarily taking the lives of any bird or beast. Now, it had suddenly become a weak little Yu. How could it endure this?
In the lake, after the scorpion Yu swam for a while, a look of human-like despair and fear flashed in its eyes!
Lin Xuankong watched this scene with a smile on his lips. After personally practicing it, he had already gained some enlightenment!
The Great Reincarnation Technique, in which he was only slightly proficient, did not have a low success rate; its timing was simply stringent! Currently, it could only ensure the complete capture of the Divine Soul of creatures that had been dead for no longer than a hundred breaths, allowing them reincarnation!
If the Great Reincarnation Technique’s proficiency improved, for instance, to ten points, it would add another ten breaths, meaning it could capture the Divine Soul of creatures dead for no longer than a hundred and ten breaths!
Realizing this, a look of astonished doubt emerged in Lin Xuankong’s eyes. Truly worthy of the Demon Technique branded on the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon’s Forehead Scale!
If the proficiency reached 100,000 points, wouldn’t it mean that the complete Divine Souls of creatures dead for no longer than 100,000 breaths could be captured and reincarnated with their memories intact?
100,000 breaths! That’s 300,000 seconds, equivalent to more than eighty hours—over three days!
He could reverse life and death for creatures that had been dead for over three days...
If the Great Reincarnation Technique reached Perfection [1/10,000,000,000]...
100,000,000,000 breaths... how long would that be?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong’s heart couldn’t help but race with excitement.
He carefully recalled all the information about the Great Reincarnation Technique, then his eyes lit up. Although this Great Reincarnation Technique was exceedingly complex, a Top Tier Demon Technique and extremely hard to cultivate, it relied on the Celestial Demon Bone in his abdomen. As long as he could nurture the Celestial Demon Bone, not only would the Ba Mountain Secret Realm continually expand, but the proficiency of the Great Reincarnation Technique would also improve!
It seems I’ll have to find ways to acquire a large amount of Demon Flesh to properly nurture the Celestial Demon Bone in the future!
However, what is the current size of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm?
Lin Xuankong closed his eyes and sensed it. A moment later, he opened them.
He had now become the Master of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm and could clearly sense that the Secret Realm was circular, surrounded by a chaotic fog. Although no sun was visible overhead, sunlight still shone down. The diameter of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm was precisely 3,200 miles!
As for how large the Secret Realm could grow in the future, Lin Xuankong wasn’t certain right now. However, since Guan Nanfeng and others had said that a Tier Three Celestial Demon Bone’s Secret Realm could grow to ten times the size of a Tier Two’s, it would be at least 32,000 miles. A Tier Four should then be 320,000 miles... And a Tier Nine would probably be exceedingly large!
I’m just not sure how much True Qi it would take to nurture the Celestial Demon Bone’s Secret Realm to such a size; it’s likely an exponential difficulty!
He glanced at his Life Plate.
[248,689/1,500,000]
The True Qi Amount stored in his Life Plate was now quite scarce, merely equivalent to the True Qi Amount of just over two thousand Sixth Layer Cultivators.
Such a meager True Qi Amount... I still shouldn’t use it to nurture the Celestial Demon Bone for now. Better to wait until I return to Great Marsh Prefecture and settle down before considering it!
Now that I’ve tested the Great Reincarnation Technique’s usage, it’s time to head back!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong closed his eyes slightly.
The next moment, the Martial Cultivators searching for Heavy Water Spiritual Objects in various parts of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm suddenly found their vision blurring, one after another, as they were ’kicked’ out of the Secret Realm!
Before heading home, of course, I have to kick out these fellows who were plundering my treasures. In the future, every Heavy Water Spiritual Object, every blade of grass, every tree, every grain of sand in this Ba Mountain Secret Realm will be mine. How could I let them continue to plunder it freely!
「Outside the Spirit Vein Transference,」
The Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer Cultivators who were kicked out of the Secret Realm looked around bewilderedly, then at the Ba Mountain Secret Realm’s Spirit Vein Transference.
"The Ba Mountain Secret Realm still has seven days before it closes! Why were we teleported out early?"
"Exactly! I was keeping track of the time; it shouldn’t be closing yet!"
"Hey! Why are you dozen or so people naked?"
"It’s infuriating! The dozen of us had just killed a Tier Five Corpse Scorpion. We’d just stripped off our clothes and were about to jump into the Cold Pool!"
"No way! You dare take off your clothes to enter the Cold Pool? Is this your first time in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm?!"
