Cultivation Helped by Ancestors-Chapter 251 - 217: Seizing the Emperor’s Fate

At this moment, the Emperor’s corpse below also sensed Zhang Jian’s provocation, and a deep growl came from below.

Blazing corpse Qi boiled below, trying to break through the iron chains binding the Golden Coffin.

On the walls of the well with the Nine Dragon Arch, patterns of coiling dragons flowed with intense golden light. The intertwining of two layers of Qi initiated the full eruption of the Golden Light Demon-Repelling Magic.

Zhang Jian remained expressionless, while deep in his divine gaze, countless runes seemed to circulate in the depths of the ban.

Enormous Yin God Divine Sense calculating, he channeled streams of body technique power from his hand, penetrating this Golden Light Demon-Repelling Ban.

Such unguarded dharma bans were the easiest to break, in his view.

Proficient in Talismanic Literature and Forbidden Magic, he easily found their flaws, as they lacked many transformations.

He could even reverse the situation and take control.

At this moment, he allowed streams of Pure Yang Golden Light to flow around him as if ignoring his presence. The golden light kept reflecting on the Nine Dragon Arch, then being absorbed by numerous golden Treasure Mirrors hanging on the iron chains.

This Golden Light Demon-Repelling Ban’s light seemed to form a perfect cover network, but in Zhang Jian’s hands, it was full of loopholes.

In a brief inference, Zhang Jian directly locked onto the core of the formation’s Pure Yang Mirror.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. "So the control method is just the simple Grotto God Five Extremes Thunder Skill?"

The Grotto God Five Extremes Thunder Skill was a secret of Dong Shen Temple, with powerful capabilities.

But Zhang Jian had already comprehended the essence.

During his tenure guarding the Observatory Platform, he learned most of the Dong Shen Temple’s Thunder Techniques, creating several profound thunder techniques from the incomplete parts he didn’t learn.

He opened his palm, and five-colored thunder circulated.

The core of the Grotto God Five Extremes Thunder is the Five Elements Thunder Technique; the Five Elements circulate, extremely rigid and yang, suppressing all kinds of demons and evil.

Now as his magical power flowed, his internal magical power smoothly transformed into clashing Five Elements Thunder.

In an instant, the five-colored thunder struck the Pure Yang Mirror, like a clay ox entering the sea.

But after the majestic thunder integrated, the Golden Light Demon-Repelling Magic Array above slowly halted its eruption.

Zhang Jian simultaneously felt a slight connection between himself and this Treasure Mirror.

"It works!"

With a slight thought, a smile appeared in his eyes, and streams of five-colored thunder shot from his hand, like a flood pouring into the Pure Yang Mirror, gradually gaining partial control.

Yet Zhang Jian sensed that this Magical Treasure was inherently strong, with a Primordial Spirit Brand hiding inside. To fully occupy it, he might have to contend with this Primordial Spirit Brand.

This Primordial Spirit Brand was likely owned by the Dong Shen Sect Ancestor himself.

Therefore, it wasn’t necessary.

Temporarily controlling the Golden Light Demon-Repelling Ban, Zhang Jian directed his gaze to the depths of the well. His eyes flickered as immense Yin God Divine Sense probed into the well’s depths, soon seeing countless dark evil Qi, resentment energy circulating.

That resentment energy, evil Qi all flowed from the deep Dragon Vein.

Meanwhile, a stream of Dragon Vein Essence continually flowed from the Dragon Vein into the Golden Coffin within, then sucked out by several dragon mouths on the Nine Dragon Arch into another Earth Vein.

Zhang Jian was sure, at the end of that Earth Vein was surely where the Daqian Dragon Vein resided.

Only then could the Dragon Qi of the Shu Kingdom flow into the Daqian Dragon Vein.

And the Emperor’s corpse inside the Golden Coffin had become a device for converting Dragon Qi, filtering the previous dynasty Dragon Vein King evil Qi, and resentment energy.

"Truly miserable!"

Zhang Jian sighed. Emperor Ai of Shu had bad luck. As the last emperor, it was bad enough. After death, his soul was sealed in the corpse, becoming a medium for Daqian to steal the former dynasty’s Dragon Qi, bearing the huge backlash. No wonder the resentment energy grew heavier each day.

Zhang Jian focused on examining the Dragon Vein below. Under his Spiritual Gaze, he saw the Dragon Vein below was nearly withered.

The remaining Dragon Vein Essence was scant.

The large remnants of the Dragon Vein also contained strong resentment energy, evil Qi, only contaminating oneself with the post-collapse legacy power of the former dynasty.

Zhang Jian wouldn’t trouble himself.

Those matters were left for the Daqian Dragon Vein to endure.

His gaze settled on the Emperor’s corpse inside the Golden Coffin.

The only benefit left in this Three-Eyed Exorcism Well was the Emperor’s corpse. Solving this Great Demon Fiend might allow another harvest in the Ancestral Hall.

Besides this, the Emperor’s corpse itself.

A sinking ship also has three pounds of nails.

Having absorbed abundant Dragon Vein Essence, the Emperor’s corpse pill stored another portion of Dragon Vein Essence.

Should he conquer and transcend the Emperor’s corpse, seizing its Dragon Vein Essence, perhaps it would enhance his Life Plate.

The Dragon Vein backlash was already borne by the Emperor’s corpse; the remaining Dragon Vein Essence, refined, was relatively clean.

In contemplation, Zhang Jian didn’t hesitate, gently descending from the iron bridge to the Golden Coffin.

As Zhang Jian landed, he saw streams of Soul-Cleansing Cyan Lotus descending. Under the pressure of Suffering Relief Spirit Light, surging resentment energy, evil Qi, and corpse Qi dissolved into cyan lotus flowers.

Transforming hostility into harmony.

But Zhang Jian knew relying on his Soul-Cleansing Cyan Lotus alone might not suffice to transcend this terrifying Emperor’s corpse.

The Emperor’s corpse before him had absorbed Dragon Vein’s Resentful Fiend Essence over time, its physique likely surpassing Flying Corpses, not far from the Corpse King.

If let out, absorbing Taiyin Moonlight might directly evolve, undergoing the Corpse King Tribulation.

Such Zombie Earth Spirits are equivalent to Primordial Spirit Masters in the Corpse King realm.

Corpse Kings come in various types: Drought Fiends, Flying Yakshas, Blood Corpses, Five Elements Corpse Gods, and more.

The Emperor’s corpse, being of imperial origin, reviving with Dragon Vein’s Resentful Fiend Essence, emerging would be a terrifying kind of Corpse King.

Now he must apply some thunder techniques, heavily damaging the Emperor’s corpse’s Primordial Qi to extract Dragon Qi for his own use.

He glanced toward the sky above Haojing City. Time wasn’t abundant. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

In an instant, Zhang Jian utilized a special God Fire within.

This time it wasn’t the extremely rigid and yang Vast Flame.

It was Celestial Purity Fire!

The mighty Celestial God Fire poured into the Golden Coffin, instantly refining the surrounding bloody corpse Qi, the blazing Celestial Divine Flame enveloped the entire Golden Coffin.

As Celestial Divine Flame infused, the Emperor’s corpse inside the Golden Coffin became like roasted meat inside an oil barrel; countless corpse Qi burned, emitting wretched screams.

Zhang Jian’s control over Celestial Purity Fire was extremely meticulous. Streams of Celestial Purity Fire transformed into flame-runed symbols that only penetrated deeply into the Golden Coffin without burning through it.

This burning resembled roasting a beggar’s chicken.

In no time, the Emperor’s corpse inside suffered greatly, yet the chains around the Golden Coffin’s exterior prevented escape.

"Roar! Roar!!"

Meanwhile, in another Exorcism Well, upon hearing the commotion, the rear corpse began desperately wailing.

Zhang Jian didn’t heed, and when sensing the Emperor’s corpse inside the Golden Coffin was nearly lifeless, he slowly spoke.

Yin God Divine Sense invaded within.

"Emperor of Shu, I know you have spirituality, don’t rush to struggle! How about making a deal? You hand over your corpse pill, and I’ll avenge it!

I also know that the fall of the Shu Kingdom isn’t your fault. The fall of a dynasty is the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, unchangeable. You weren’t entirely incompetent. When destiny ends, the dynasty naturally falls. But the Grand Ancestor of Daqian, after your death, not letting you go, isn’t keeping rules, making your corpse bear backlash, stealing Shu’s destiny, facing backlash in the future is inevitable!"

"Today, give me your Dragon Qi, and when my Zhang Family rises, I’ll take your place, venting this grievance for you, what do you say?"
