Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse-Chapter 263 - 148: The Severed Foundation Establishment Technique and Eastern Celestial City’s Gloom

Moreover, if there is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator willing to help, they can break it at the cost of some lifespan. But if no Foundation Establishment Cultivator is willing to shorten their lifespan to help, it can silently and completely block a Qi Refining Cultivator's formation of their Dao Foundation.

After all, when it comes down to it, we are both in a corner of the world, and having one more Foundation Establishment Cultivator means one more person contending for Spiritual Qi, resources, and territory. Therefore, whether it's the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks or the Three Life Gates, they will use this method to control the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu's expression froze.

In other words, does this method not completely block the ascent route for Loose Cultivators without a Foundation Establishment background?

Without a Foundation Establishment background, and unwilling to serve as a subordinate to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, doesn't that mean they can't even meet a Foundation Establishment Cultivator? Once they encounter a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, that cultivator might use the Foundation Breaking Method on them?

These Foundation Establishment Cultivators, these great powers, are truly ruthless, selfish to such insane extents.

No wonder in such a vast Far West, so many have reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, yet only two have become Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

It turns out it's not just because of the Spirit Veins.

Shankui's expression also froze, but inside he was immensely pleased, "It's no matter if you don't know. I can teach this method for free. In the future, if you want to drive Qi Refining Cultivators, this is an excellent control method, which can keep them always under your command."

Why was Shankui so delighted?

Because not knowing this method means he hasn't encountered any Foundation Establishment Cultivators and doesn't come from a power with Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

In other words, he's purely a Loose Cultivator.

In this way.

Recruiting becomes even easier!

"I trust my corpse over people." Wen Jiu replied simply, not intending to learn the Foundation Breaking Method.

If someone is truly willing to risk their life to do his bidding, he certainly wouldn't apply the Foundation Breaking Method in secret.

Shankui just smiled and said nothing more, then continued planning. But ultimately, the planning was for confrontation. However, after obtaining the Golden Core opportunity, who gets to leave with it became a question.

Feng Jue looked at Wen Jiu, "Fellow Daoist, your escape technique is extraordinary. Why not entrust this task to you?"

With the Heavenly Dao Oath in place, Feng Jue wasn't afraid of Wen Jiu embezzling the opportunity.

Wen Jiu quickly shook his head with a bitter smile, "Fellow Daoist, do not joke with me. I just entered Foundation Establishment, and no matter how strong my escape technique, I can't use it continuously. I will still be caught up eventually... leave it to the other Daoists."

"Alright then."

Feng Jue didn't insist.

Wen Jiu sat quietly to the side, listening to the others discuss.

Actually, the plan was something he could listen to or not. Wen Jiu sat there purely to understand their plan.

Even if he didn't listen.

It wouldn't delay anything.

Because he would personally enter the Celestial Extinction Ruins.

Soon, Shankui confirmed the one to leave with the opportunity: Feng Jue. After all, Feng Jue's strength was evident to all.

Feng Jue didn't refuse, since he abandoned his entire sect for the potential Golden Core opportunity within the Celestial Extinction Ruins. Taking the Golden Core opportunity with him provided some reassurance.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." After finalizing the plan, Wen Jiu cupped his hands and prepared to leave.

After Wen Jiu stood up, the cultivators surnamed Yang and Wang also rose, showing no intention of staying longer.

Moments later.

Everyone dispersed.

Waiting silently for the Celestial Extinction Ruins to open in a few months!

...

After leaving the Yan Kingdom, Wen Jiu thought again of the words "Foundation Breaking Method" because Fang Xiaolin had been to Deadman Peak.

Could he secretly have applied the Foundation Breaking Method on the Great Elder?

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu headed straight for Deadman Peak.

Going to Deadman Peak was not only to observe the situation but also to deal with obtaining Corpse Blood for cultivating the Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse.

When Wen Jiu arrived at Deadman Peak, most of the Main Peak Elders of Deadman Peak were not on the main peak anymore, including his master Ye Chen. Due to orders from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, they had all rushed to the Moon Extreme Sect to besiege the sect's cultivators.

Even the Side Peak Master of Ping Mountain had already set out.

The remaining Two Sects and Five Peaks had slaughtered even earlier, even the Little Inference Mountain, which had just lost its Peak Master, was the same.

With Two Sects and Six Peaks moving together, the fall of the Moon Extreme Sect was inevitable.

"If someone like Feng Jue advanced to a Golden Core Cultivator, who knows what the Divine Fall Mountain Range would become." Feng Jue had no direct conflict of interest with him, so Wen Jiu naturally wasn't concerned with his outcome.

Abandoning the sect was Feng Jue's own choice; he didn't care, so as an outsider, Wen Jiu was even less concerned.

Very soon.

Wen Jiu arrived at the cave dwelling to find the Great Elder of Eastern Celestial City.

"Fellow Daoist Han, is there something you need?"

Wen Jiu spoke frankly, "I just learned about something, it concerns the Foundation Breaking Method."

Eastern Celestial City, apparently unaware, questioned, "Fellow Daoist, what is the Foundation Breaking Method?"

Seeing that Eastern Celestial City genuinely knew nothing, Wen Jiu couldn't help but secretly criticize in his heart; the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks were truly ruthless. Even though Celestial Official Bai Du had already reached Foundation Establishment, they didn't inform him about the Foundation Breaking Method.

Now, it seemed highly likely that Eastern Celestial City had the Foundation Breaking Method within them.

With Celestial Official Bai dead, the thought of Eastern Celestial City attempting to establish a foundation in the Celestial Extinction Ruins couldn't have been lost on Fang Xiaolin and the others.

"A technique that destroys the formation of a Dao Foundation, one that a Qi Refining Cultivator cannot detect, preventing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Dao Foundation from forming." Wen Jiu explained, "Would Fellow Daoist allow me to explore the internal situation?"

Examining for the Foundation Breaking Method is not something that can be achieved with a sweep of the Divine Sense; even if it's the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, or a Perfection Cultivator's Divine Sense, detecting it requires precise scrutiny.

So it was necessary to inform in advance.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you've already stated that a Qi Refining Cultivator cannot detect it, so why go to all the trouble?" Eastern Celestial City's face had turned somewhat unnatural, revealing an unease beneath the surface, though he didn't fully exhibit it.

Wen Jiu offered no more explanation and did not reveal himself, "Trying is no harm, better than doing nothing."

"Please."

Eastern Celestial City nodded without hesitation.

In his view, if the other party intended harm, there was no need for such formality.

The terrifying strength capable of killing Liu Qianling and Gui Tian Sheng could easily handle someone who had recently attained Qi Refining Perfection.

Wen Jiu nodded, "Thank you for your trust, Fellow Daoist."

Entering the cave dwelling, both Wen Jiu and Eastern Celestial City sat cross-legged, with Wen Jiu beside him, directly sending his Divine Sense into his body. Passing through skin, muscles, and organs, exploring throughout, finally entering the Dantian.

This process took a half-hour, quite troublesome, and eventually, Wen Jiu sensed something unusual within his Dantian.

As Wen Jiu carefully investigated with his Divine Sense, he could clearly discern its differences from other Magical Powers.

It concealed another's Foundation Establishment Power!

With it present, even if Eastern Celestial City entered the Celestial Extinction Ruins and obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill, the formation of a Dao Foundation would likely be impossible.

"The people of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks are truly ruthless," Wen Jiu quietly mused. He quickly gathered his thoughts, withdrawing his Divine Sense, shaking his head with feigned difficulty, "Han Mou is inept and cannot detect its presence."

Eastern Celestial City slowly opened his eyes, calmly smiling, "Fellow Daoist need not blame himself; perhaps there is none."

"Perhaps there is none."

Wen Jiu followed his lead in conversation.

Yet his Divine Sense could clearly sense Eastern Celestial City's slight emotional changes, his words seemingly masking his genuine beliefs. Moreover, it was evident that Eastern Celestial City believed it feasible for Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks to commit such acts.

"Thank you for the trouble of coming back specifically, Fellow Daoist." Eastern Celestial City said with a hidden sense of helplessness.

Wen Jiu said little, cupped his hands in farewell, but within he had already made a decision: to help remove the Foundation Breaking Method after entering the Celestial Extinction Ruins, regardless of lifespan loss.

A debt of imparting a technique.

Must be repaid.

If there were suspicions then, a Silencing Spell could be cast once more.

Shortly after Wen Jiu left, Eastern Celestial City suddenly entered the cave's secret chamber, activating an Isolation Array, and retrieved a dimly glimmering Sound Transmission Talisman from his storage bag.

Evidently.

This talisman was a consumable.

Perhaps one or two more uses and it would dissipate.

"Senior, I have a question regarding how to resolve the Foundation Breaking Method?"

Soon, a voice came from the Sound Transmission Talisman, "As long as one is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they can resolve it, but... Master, our prior relationship is not enough for me to expend lifespan to resolve the Foundation Breaking Method for you."

As this voice echoed, the talismanic patterns on the Sound Transmission Talisman grew dimmer, seemingly on the brink of disappearance.

Eastern Celestial City's expression darkened considerably.
