Chapter 123: Heavenly Corpse Art? Heavenly Corpse Art!
As Zhang Chu continued to refine the original corpse qi of the black zombies, his magic power was growing rapidly and buds were constantly opening on his magic power seeds.
The cold and gloomy power of the corpse qi was also constantly accumulating in Zhang Chu's body, and a thick layer of black ice formed on the surface of his body.
By dawn, all the original corpse qi absorbed into the body had been refined.
His body suddenly felt a sense of boundless satisfaction, and before he could savor it, his consciousness seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss. Boundless resentment and death completely enveloped his mind.
At the same time, the corpse gas accumulated in his blood exploded, and his body began to change wildly.
Strands of white hair directly grew out from his body, and with the outbreak of corpse gas, the white hair turned into black hair in an instant.
The black hair was also falling off rapidly, and he was quickly transforming into an armored corpse.
If he cannot stop the outbreak of corpse gas, he will completely turn into a zombie, and it will be irreversible.
At this moment, his sea of consciousness suddenly shone brightly, and the evil spirit, resentment, and death energy that filled it disappeared in an instant like mist encountering the sun.
And Zhang Chu, who was trapped inside, also regained consciousness.
He had already felt the changes in his body and was moving quickly towards the zombie body.
The reason why he failed to completely turn into a zombie was that there was a warmth in his dantian that was resisting.
That warmth was exactly the internal force of the Shenzhaojing that Zhang Chu cultivated.
Feeling the condition of his body, he did not dare to delay and directly activated the mana seed, starting to continuously gather the corpse qi in his body.
About half an hour later, the corpse qi that burst out of his body was completely absorbed by the mana seed and turned into extremely pure mana.
However, there was no way to prevent the alienation of his body. Fortunately, all the black hair on his body had disappeared, otherwise, he would have to live with this body.
I felt that all over my body, except for my dantian, there was no warmth at all.
He had a vague feeling that if he had not practiced the Shenzhaojing, he would have become a zombie with self-awareness.
The warmth brought by the internal force in his dantian is his hope to transform his half-corpse body into a human body again in the future.
Standing up, Zhang Chu started walking.
"Boom!"
Every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground.
At this moment, his strength increased greatly, and even his defense increased countless times.
Although he did not completely turn into a zombie, his body was still transformed, and his defense was comparable to that of an armored corpse.
With a flip of his palm, a steel knife appeared in his hand and he scratched his exposed palm.
"Zi~"
The steel knife seemed to have melted into the cowhide, without even leaving a white mark.
"Poor Taoist,"
Looking at the slightly curved blade of the steel knife, Zhang Chu said self-deprecatingly, "Has it become another kind of invulnerability?"
Even though it was just a light stroke, the strength used was no less than that of an ordinary person.
In fact, after his body changed, his strength also increased a lot.
With heavy steps, Zhang Chu walked towards the quiet room.
As he moved forward, a series of footprints about an inch deep appeared behind him, extending to the door of the quiet room.
His body had just undergone some changes, and he was still unable to adapt for a while.
Once you adapt to or control your own power, this situation will no longer occur.
Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, Zhang Chu began to practice the Heavenly Corpse Art silently. He even took out the Corpse King Banner and began to refine it with his own magic power.
When mana surges, one naturally has to control the surge in mana first, and then one can control the surge in power.
And is there any better way to control the surging magic power than to refine the Corpse King Banner?
He was distracted by two things, one side was refining the Corpse King Banner, the other side was silently sensing the mana seed.
At this moment, the mana seed already has dense roots at the bottom, rooted in the Dantian, and at the top are twelve extremely fragile-looking stems, with twelve fully blooming flowers on the twelve stems.
Just by sensing the situation of the mana seed, Zhang Chu knew in his heart that he had now reached the perfect state of Condensing Dharma.
Next, we need to prepare for building the foundation.
Building the foundation is actually not difficult for Zhang Chu. With enough magic power, he can naturally break through to the foundation building stage.
However, now he doesn’t even dare to break through the foundation-building stage.
Just the great perfection of the Condensation Realm almost turned him into a zombie.
When breaking through the foundation, the explosion of corpse qi will inevitably be more serious. It is impossible to resist the crushing of corpse qi with only the internal force of the Shenzhaojing for three to five years.
By then, even if he breaks through, he will no longer be a human being, but a zombie with consciousness.
Heavenly Corpse Art, Heavenly Corpse Art, could this be the Heavenly Corpse Art?
Is this the technique of transforming a human into a corpse?
How could he be willing to be turned into a corpse?
"It seems that we still have to wait!"
Zhang Chu secretly thought in his heart, "Wait until the internal force of the Shenzhaojing is strengthened a little more, and then break through to the foundation-building stage!"
Perhaps, only when his internal strength becomes innate, he will be able to withstand the impact of endless corpse qi when breaking through the foundation.
But, is it so easy to achieve innateness?
There are so many people in the world of Liancheng, but how many of them can reach the level of innateness?
Even the Taoist priest in black who had taken a pill of Dahuan Dan, whose cultivation has lasted for at least sixty years, has not yet broken through to the innate level. Not to mention him, who started practicing late and has an extremely difficult time in cultivation?
In this way, Zhang Chu was cleansing the Corpse King Banner in his hand and strengthening his control over the corpses refined in the Corpse King Banner, while his thoughts were flying.
In the blink of an eye, it was daybreak.
Zhang Chu walked out of the quiet room directly, looked at the series of footprints on the ground, shook his head, put away the Corpse King Banner, took out a blood knife, and started practicing the blood knife technique.
Even though his internal strength is not strong, his power is powerful!
Suddenly, the courtyard was filled with flashes of swords and the sound of scimitars breaking through the air.
The ground was covered with Zhang Chu's footprints.
The sound of the scimitar breaking through the air in the courtyard also attracted the attention of the Taoist priest in black and others.
When they opened the door, they saw Zhang Chu practicing with a sword. Looking at the murderous scimitar, everyone present, especially the man in black, was shocked.
He knew very well in his heart that his Taoist master did not know any martial arts, he only knew mysterious magic.
How come after not seeing each other for just one night, my Taoist master has turned into a top master?
Just the footprints that were an inch deep on the ground made him realize how skilled Zhang Chu was in martial arts.
"wrong!"
Soon, the Taoist priest in black felt something different. There was no internal force on Zhang Chu's blade, and the sound of breaking through the air was pure power.
And in his impression, Zhang Chu's power was not that great.
When this happens, it is very likely that the Taoist master has mastered an extremely advanced horizontal training technique.
Only in this way can the internal force be not obvious, but the strength is greatly increased.
Zhang Chu naturally noticed the people in black, but he had no intention of stopping. Instead, his movements became faster and faster.
However, his body was a little stiff, so no matter how fast he was, he would still be full of flaws in the eyes of martial arts masters.
"Black!"
After practicing several sets of sword techniques, Zhang Chu put away the scimitar, looked at the man in black standing beside him, took out a piece of paper, looked at the man in black who was walking over, and handed it to him, "Buy all these things!"
"Yes, Taoist Master!"
After taking a quick look, the man in black put the paper away.
The paper recorded the materials needed to set up the Locking Yin Array.
"Just mind your own business!"
Looking at the people standing there waiting for him, Zhang Chu waved his hand. He still had a lot of things to do.
The corpse pit is now empty, and now he has to continue refining the corpses.
There were not many bodies left in the morgue. Zhang Chu spent an entire morning putting all the bodies into the pit. After 49 days, he finally found something.
Even though he no longer needs to extract the black zombie's original corpse qi to increase his magic power, it is still necessary to keep some of it as material to restore his magic power.
After finishing the work, Zhang Chu suddenly had an idea and activated the Yueshi Mirror, and came to the charity cemetery in the zombie world.
Holding the token in his hand, he walked straight into the demon-sealing formation.
At this moment, the power of the scorching sun gathered in the formation, and countless corpse qi and dead air were quickly dissipating under the gathered power of the scorching sun.
As soon as Zhang Chu stepped in, white smoke rose from his body, which was the corpse gas contained in his body.
Under the scorching sun, the heat was quickly dissipating and the body could feel a slight warmth.
After finding a place, Zhang Chu sat down cross-legged and took out the pills he had obtained yesterday.
First, he took a Bear-Tiger Pill, and an extremely powerful force of qi and blood emanated from Zhang Chu's body.
Even his blood, which had completely stagnated, was still flowing slightly.
However, Zhang Chu did not have time to feel it, but immediately started to practice the Shenzhaojing.
In just a cup of tea, his slightly flowing blood and energy stagnated again.
In just a cup of tea, Zhang Chu, without considering the consequences, had completed two cycles of the Shen Zhao Jing.
The amazing thing is that even after only running two cycles, Zhang Chu increased his internal strength by more than half a year.
"Sure enough!"
Feeling the increased internal strength, Zhang Chu nodded.
Before, he had a vague feeling in his heart that the increase in his internal strength was most likely not due to the Dahuan Pill, but to his own body.
When he was practicing the Shenzhaojing, the blood in his body had stopped circulating. Only when he took elixirs, the huge qi and blood power in the elixirs could impact the corpse qi in the blood and promote blood circulation.
At this time, Zhang Chu just started to practice the Shenzhaojing.
It is undeniable that Zhang Chu, who has practiced the Heavenly Corpse Art, has become much stronger through this technique.
With a stronger body, your cultivation will naturally become more powerful.
The elixir is actually the catalyst for his practice of the Shenzhaojing.
Feeling his qi and blood stagnating again, he took the Bear Tiger Pill again, and his qi and blood began to circulate again. Zhang Chu then practiced the Shen Zhao Jing, which increased his internal strength by half a year.
Just two Bear Tiger Pills were enough to shock his blood and energy, allowing him to gain a year's worth of skills.
If there are more, wouldn't he be able to strengthen his internal strength quickly?
Thinking of this, Zhang Chu shook his head. It was not that simple.
Drug resistance also exists in his body.
It’s just that it’s not the resistance to elixirs caused by refining elixirs, but the resistance to elixirs caused by the corpse qi hidden deep in the blood.
With the existence of drug resistance, Zhang Chu's goal of quickly improving his internal strength has been shattered.
Unless, he can keep finding different elixirs that can enhance internal strength, or elixirs that can enhance qi and blood.
Then he started to practice the Shenzhaojing and Zhang Chu directly took a Guyuan Pill.
"Pity!"
As the Guyuan Pill entered the body, the Qi and blood fluctuated for just a moment and then stopped.
It’s not that the Guyuan Pill is bad, but that he doesn’t need it at all.
Zhang Chu, who practiced the Heavenly Corpse Art, had an extremely strong body, and a strong body naturally had a solid foundation.
Compared to a martial arts master, even if the martial arts master took ten Guyuan Pills, it would be impossible for his foundation to be more solid than Zhang Chu's.
After silently putting away the remaining Guyuan Pill, Zhang Chu also stood up and walked towards the mass grave.
He hadn't seen the mass grave for a long time, and every time he came, he stood far away.
Now that his cultivation has been greatly enhanced, he naturally wants to investigate the situation at the mass grave.
As he got closer, Zhang Chu actually felt a sense of closeness from the mass grave.
No, it’s not about being close to the mass graves, but being close to the smell of death emanating from the mass graves.
It seems that he feels more at home here.
There was even corpse qi and death qi that were actively seeping into Zhang Chu's body.
From this, we can see how serious the zombification of Zhang Chu's body has become.
After standing here silently for a while, Zhang Chu left.
He had to leave, and never again would he stand at the edge of a mass grave.
Standing on the edge of the mass grave, he could actually feel inexplicable cries from below, as if there were people like him there.
He even felt a heavy sense of authority from below, as if he should obey the orders of the being below.
Fortunately, he is not a zombie and he still has his own consciousness, otherwise, he would have jumped into the mass grave and started destroying the seal below.
At this moment, he was completely certain that there was definitely an extremely powerful zombie sealed under the mass grave, and it was at least a zombie that surpassed the jumping corpses.
Only in this way can Zhang Chu's consciousness be controlled. If it weren't for Yue Shijing, it would be hard to say what would have happened to him now.
After taking out the token and hesitating for a moment, Zhang Chu stepped out of the Great Sun Demon Sealing Array.
Even though he felt very comfortable in the formation, under the power of the scorching sun, he did not want to enter it.
It's too dangerous!
