Chapter 644: Corpse Clanâs Soul Sacrificial Altar
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
In the Antiquity, the Monster Clan had four strongest tribes. They were the royal tribes of the Monster Clan.
They were called the Sacred Tribes, and included the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, the Vermillion Bird, and the White Tiger. They had always ruled the Monster Clan with their invincible supernatural powers.
Xuan Ming was a Black Tortoise, the King of Perpetual Night Forest. Shi Yan didnât expect the old man to be from the Black Tortoise Tribe, which had disappeared for so many years.
He still remembered that year when he had just arrived at the Sky Meteor City. Zuo Shi had asked him to translate the turtle shell she got. She then received the Black Tortoise True Star scripture to cultivate. And, she also had a precious, heavy armor.
Was that why Xuan Ming got close to Zuo Shi and protected her as if she were his closest relative?
âOnly persons with our Black Tortoise bloodline could understand the power Upanishad of our tribe. Zuo Shi has our tribe bloodline. It isnât like what you think.â Xuan Ming whispered something, pursed his lips, and explained impatiently.
Shi Yan was frightened, screaming, âYou can read my mind?â
âWhatâs difficult with that?â snorted Xuan Ming. âYou didnât use your soul power to conceal. With my realm, even if I donât use my energy, I can still read your mind. Itâs as easy as flipping my hand.â
âOld Xuan Ming, I donât want to cultivate with you. Let me go. Itâs not fun here.â Zuo Shi didnât seem to be happy, crying.
âI want the best for you,â Xuan Ming rolled his eyes. âYou havenât reached the Spirit Realm yet. If you leave me, youâll die soon. Iâm not going to allow you to go.â
The two experts of the Monster Clan, Yan Long, and Xue Lu, didnât talk much after they saw Xuan Ming. They were afraid of him.
âKid, I donât care why you come here. I donât want to know either. Because you know Little Shi, I wonât harm you. You should get lost quickly. If you disturb Little Shiâs cultivation, I will make you regret.â Xuan Ming snorted impatiently, swinging his hand. âYou two idiots should go too.â
A flow of silver energy rolled Yan Long and Xue Lu, throwing them away. Shi Yanâs Soul Consciousness couldnât catch it.
Shi Yan hadnât had time to reply as Xuan Ming continued, âYouâve spent a lot of efforts on Yan Long and Xue Lu. However, youâre a human. Human Clan will be destroyed sooner or later. You shouldnât bring trouble to our Monster Clan.â
After he finished, Xuan Ming swung his hands nonchalantly one more time. Shi Yan felt he was pressed by many streams of water before he was thrown away.
He got dizzy. Until he could gather himself again, he found that he was in the shelter area of the Yang family.
Standing indifferently by the lake, Shi Yanâs face was complicated. It was the first time he felt helpless.
Xuan Ming at his Peak of level 9 had supernatural powers. Shi Yan didnât know what kind of power he had used to deliver him hundreds of li away like that with only a wave of his hand.
Suddenly, Shi Yan understood that his operation in the Perpetual Night Forest hadnât escaped Xuan Mingâs view. This old man was secluding himself in the Black Pool, but he could see all things happening in the Perpetual Night Forest.
As Yu Ruo, Cao Qiu Dao, Ling Ming, Yi Tian Mo and the others saw him, they started to gather from many places. Surprise filled their eyes.
Shi Yan beamed a forced smile. He didnât want to talk much about Xuan Ming, because he thought that if he told them about him, it would create a bad shadow in their hearts.
âMaster, what happened? Your face is⊠so grim.â Yu Ruo stepped forward. A strange light sparked in her beautiful eyes as she was startled.
âNothing,â Shi Yan calmed his mind quickly. He smiled and then said, âYou guys should try harder. As long as youâve reached the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, I will help you to enter the True God Realm sooner.â
Everybody was stunned. They thought that something was wrong with Shi Yanâs mind.
âI found a good thing,â Shi Yan smiled. âWho is going to enter the Third Sky of Spirit Realm?â While talking, he took out many pellets Li Zheng Rong had given him. âIf you are confident, I will give you the suitable pellets.â
Cao Qiu Daoâs team had their eyes brightened.
âI think Iâm about to break through,â Yi Tian Mo was a little bit shy when he said with hesitation.
âIâm almost there too. After the change of heaven and earth, our speed of comprehending realms has increased too.â Yu Ruo said with her bright eyes.
âGreat Grandpa has reached the Peak of Spirit Realm. Not long afterward, he can take another step further.â Shi Yan said confidently. âDi Shan has reached the True God Realm. I think he is adjusting his powers now. I will make your realms increase fast.â
Cao Qiu Dao, Cao Zhi Lan, and Fan Xiang Yun were bewildered.
âLittle Yan, are you⊠not exaggerating?â Shi Jian kept quiet for a while and then asked with a trembling voice.
While he was talking, he saw Zuo Xu. He waved at the old man and then asked him. âGrandpa Zuo, do you know Zuo Shiâs story?â
âI want to get it clearly.â At first glance, Shi Yan got that he knew something. âThe King of Perpetual Night Forest had captured Zuo Shi. But he doesnât mean harm. Everything heâs done is for Zuo Shi. I just want to know when did it happen?â
âNot long after we arrived in the Perpetual Night Forest.â Zuo Xu was hesitant, telling him the details of the situation. âWe disputed with the seven ancient factions in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain. Little Shi was together with us at that time. But suddenly, she disappeared.â
Zuo Shi considered his words. âAt the beginning, we were really worried. When we were about to go out and find her, someone sent the message to our souls, telling us not to find her. Little Shi also sent us her thoughts, telling us that she was alright. She was going with an expert to cultivate. She asked us not to tell anybody.â
Shi Yan was silent. âOh, so thatâs it.â
âIs Little Shi okay?â Zuo Xu was worried.
âDonât worry⊠sheâs fine. She has reached the Peak of Sky Realm⊠Not long afterward, she will enter the Spirit Realm. Her innate endowment is better than anyone else. You guys donât need to worry about her. Under his protection, no one can touch her,â Shi Yan explained.
Zuo Xu exhaled in relief.
âEverybody should prepare. We donât have much time. All clans are hostile to us, so we need to improve our competence fast.â Shi Yan advised them. His figure flickered and disappeared as he went to find Yan Long and Xue Lu.
Xuan Ming didnât want to cooperate with him. At first, he could only convince the experts whose cultivation base wasnât much different from Yan Long and Xue Lu.
In the Perpetual Night Forest, there were several rulers of the Monster Clan like Yan Long and Xue Lu. If he could make a deal with them, even if he didnât have Xuan Ming, he wouldnât need to worry much.
Each strong expert like Yan Long and Xue Lu had accumulated plenty of treasures. They had abundant heaven and earth precious products.
Not only did he need to refine better weapons for the Yang family, but he also needed to prepare something for himself. Thus, he needed the accumulated properties of those beasts.
Inside a spacious dark cave where black crystal jades twinkled, corpse Qi permeated the area.
Many members of the Corpse Clan were scattered inside the cave, surrounding a sacrificial altar built of tombstones. The altar was moving slowly, while a magical soul fluctuation rippled from each tombstone. Each soul fluctuation was as bright as a flame, swaying in the tombstone.
Corpse Sea and Corpse Mount were moving inside that sacrificial altar. They were grimacing, as if they were enduring some serious pain. Every time they took a step, a soul fluctuation whipped them, then entering their souls.
The Corpse Clanâs Sacrificial Altar held the inheritance seal of the Corpse Clan. Each clansman of the Corpse Clan could use their ability to receive the inheritance in the altar. After that, they would receive the old technique of the Corpse Clan, and the knowledge, as well as the history of the Corpse Clan.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were struggling, while magical soul thoughts were entering deep inside their souls.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Seaâs soul had the shape of a headstone. While they were absorbing the soul thoughts, their souls were purified, getting rid of contaminants. They were taking in the inheritance inside the Soul Sacrificial Altar. After that, they could know secret techniques that had been stored and imparted for so many years in the Corpse Clan.
A large garnet coffin laid next to the cave entrance. It was sealed, but no corpses dared to approach it. They were looking at it with respectful expressions.
Waves of living fluctuation beat rumblingly, rippling out from the coffin like a fighting drum, hitting each member of the Corpse Clan. Their souls resonated, as if they were working together with the sacrificial altar.
After an unknown period, Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had many wounds on their bodies, with sticky blood flowing along their bodies. However, it couldnât stop their movements, as they still took each step strenuously.
Many members of the Corpse Clan showed their admiration and respect for Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea for their strong persistence and powerful potential.
Clansmen who could resist longer in the altar could receive more benefits, and the inheritance they would get would be more excellent.
After the Great Space Fission happened, they had discovered the soul sacrificial altar. Besides the one staying in that large coffin, Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had the longest time staying in the altar.
Formidable energy surged from the Soul Sacrificial Altar, pushing Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea away and making them fall.

The Corpse Clanâs Soul Sacrificial Altar quieted down, as no more soul fluctuations rippled. The countless headstones didnât move anymore.
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea struggled to get up, crouching on all fours. Their jaws were chattering, as if they were calling some power.
The lid of coffin next to them suddenly lifted, exposing a large hand that was as sharp as a dagger.
Under the attentive looks of so many clansmen, that hand created a strange hand seal, which then floated, dragging a flow of energy from the Soul Sacrificial Altar. Then, it divided into two seals and imprinted on Corpse Mountâs and Corpse Seaâs forehead.
This seal meant that Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were accepted. Just like the seal on Shi Yanâs forehead, it represented that Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea had become the new members of one of the oldest tribes.
