In fact, after Li Xuangang carefully studied the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art, he discovered that it was no longer a simple corpse refining technique, but a complete skill.
According to the records in the general outline, Li Xuangang discovered that the original goal of the Nine Corpses Guiyuan Jue was to refine a corpse that could never backfire, and it succeeded.
In the subsequent exercises, there is a detailed introduction on how to refine the Zombie Guard.
Li Xuangang put down the Nine Corpses Guiyuan Jue in his hand, with an uncertain expression on his face.
In his mind, the zombie guards recorded in the Nine Corpses Guiyuan Jue have three characteristics.
First, the Zombie Guard and the monk who refined it are dependent on each other for life and death. Once the monk dies, it will also collapse.
Second, the Zombie Guard already has its own autonomous consciousness, which is no different from that of ordinary monks. However, compared with ordinary corpse refiners, it does not have the problem of backlash.
Third, a monk at a high level can only refine one Zombie Guard, which means that he can refine up to nine.
Corpse refining with these characteristics was terrifying. Li Xuangang was extremely coveted for the Nine Corpse Returning Art, but after reading the specific cultivation methods and Jin Xianzong's experience, he hesitated.
If you want to refine the Zombie Guard, you must practice the Nine Corpses Returning to the Origin Art. However, Li Xuangang only has the first three levels of the technique, and he has no clue about the missing last six levels.
In addition, judging from Jin Xianzong's records, no one has successfully refined Zombie Guard for millions of years.
Even if the previous monks had successfully practiced the Nine Corpses Return to Origin Art, they were still unable to refine their own zombie guards, and no one had found the reason why.
When Jin Xianzong was still in the Qi refining stage, he had already obtained the first three levels of the Nine Corpses Guiyuan Jue, but he had never succeeded. The reason why he still kept this skill was because of the Zombie Guard Tailor recorded in it.
It was too tempting, and he wanted to explore slowly to see if he could find the secret of refining Zombie Guard in his lifetime.
Li Xuangang didn't think he was a talented monk. Since other monks had not been able to successfully refine this kind of corpse called Zombie Guard for millions of years, he estimated that his chances of success were not high.
Therefore, even though Li Xuangang was also deeply attracted by the zombie guards recorded in the Nine Corpses Return to Yuan Jue, he still rationally chose to give up.
After making a decision, he carefully placed the Nine Corpses Guiyuan Jue, took out the Spring Dew Pill and Lingshi from the storage bag, and entered a state of recuperation.
During this period of time, Li Xuangang had suffered a certain degree of damage both physically and mentally. Taking this opportunity, he planned to return to a perfect state before setting off again.
...
Another month of this practice had passed. When he woke up again, he found that after this period of practice, not only had his cultivation become looser, but his consciousness had also stabilized.
After devouring part of Jin Xianzong's soul, his spiritual consciousness has increased somewhat, but it is a bit frivolous, probably because these spiritual consciousness were not cultivated by himself after all.
However, after this period of consolidation, Li Xuangang found that he has now fully adapted to the current intensity of his spiritual consciousness.
He stood up, patted the dust that had fallen on his body, took back the Sancai Spirit Formation Disk, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
When passing the corpse refining, the latter automatically followed Li Xuangang, still shrouded in a black robe.
After walking out of the cave, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle. Li Xuangang looked around and saw nothing unusual, then turned around and destroyed the cave with a sword.
Then, he took the refined corpse and continued walking south along the canyon.
After walking for more than two months, Li Xuangang finally walked out of the canyon and reached the edge of the Hengduan Mountains. There were no accidents along the way, and everything went smoothly.
Standing on a boulder, he looked into the distance and lowered his head from time to time to compare the map in his hand.
After a long while, I finally determined my position on the map.
"I didn't expect it to take so long?"
The canyon stretches for thousands of miles, and the back section is densely forested, so Li Xuangang walked for such a long time.
After confirming his position, Li Xuangang put away the map and continued on his way with the corpse. He wanted to rush to Wujiangfang City as soon as possible to inquire about the situation of this decisive battle.
Judging from the map, Li Xuangang is now located on the southern outskirts of the Hengduan Mountains, still some distance away from Wujiangfang City.
Li Xuangang estimated that it would take him at least about a month to successfully reach Wujiangfang City.
In the following days, except for occasionally stopping to rest, Li Xuangang did not waste any time and traveled at his fastest speed almost the entire journey.
Finally, after running around for more than twenty days, Li Xuangang once again saw the majestic and rugged Wujiangfang City.
Before entering, Li Xuangang stood in the distance and looked at the surrounding situation. He found that the number of monks entering and leaving Wujiangfang City was almost four to five times that before, and there were many disciples of the Corpse Ghost Sect among them.
Li Xuangang had some vague guesses in his mind. He put away the refined corpse, and then followed the flow of people alone into the city gate of Wujiangfang City.
Walking on the streets that he had not seen for a long time, Li Xuangang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
People were coming and going on the streets of Wujiangfang City. Looking at the monks and bustling shops around him, Li Xuangang said to himself:
"It seems that the Zombie Sect has won this decisive battle. I wonder what the family's situation is now?"
Because he was eager to know the situation of his family after this decisive battle, Li Xuangang did not stay on the street. He just looked at the shops on both sides for a few times and then went straight to the family's weapon refining pavilion.
After a while, when Li Xuangang suddenly appeared in the family's weapon refining pavilion, the tribesman in charge of chores in the pavilion was so excited. The latter led Li Xuangang into the backyard and ran ahead to knock on the cave of the seventh uncle Li Changzhi.
.
Li Xuantian, who was refining weapons in the cave nearby, heard the commotion and came out of the cave. When he saw Li Xuangang, his eyes were full of joy.
"Xuan Gang, you are finally back. If the seventh uncle hadn't gone back to the Taiqiu Mountain Ancestral Temple to check the genealogy, we would have thought that you really died in the Hengduan Mountains."
Li Xuangang smiled, walked to his second brother Li Xuantian, and replied with a hint of apology:
"This time there were some twists and turns, so I rushed back now, which makes my second brother worried!"
Li Xuantian waved his hand, pushed Li Xuangang to sit down at the stone table, and said:
"It's good to come back. After the previous war, we didn't see you. We all thought something happened to you, but we didn't see your body on the battlefield, so we were holding on to a bit of luck. Now it seems that Ninth Brother, you
Indeed, the blessings are profound."
Li Xuangang gave a bitter smile, and then his face returned to calmness. Just when he was about to answer, his seventh uncle Li Changzhi came out of the cave.
Li Xuantian and Li Xuangang quickly stood up and saluted, and when Li Changzhi came over and sat down, they followed suit.
As for the tribesman who brought Li Xuangang in, he has returned to the lobby of the Weapon Refining Pavilion.
"Tell me, where have you been in the past few months! I even went back to Taiqiu Mountain to check the genealogy to see if your name has been obscured... I have sent many clan members to you in the past few months.
I went into the Hengduansan Mountains to search for your traces, but I didn’t expect you to run back by yourself today.”
After Li Changzhi took his seat, he was not polite and scolded Li Xuangang first, but the concern in his words was something Li Xuangang could definitely feel.
He lowered his head and listened quietly. It was not until Li Changzhi finished speaking that he whispered the story of being knocked into the abyss by a green dragon. Of course, there were some things that should be concealed, but he skillfully avoided them.
Li Changzhi and Li Xuantian listened quietly. When Li Xuangang talked about Jin Xianzong, they asked their seventh uncle Li Changzhi to set up a soundproof magic circle first.
Seeing that he spoke so solemnly, Li Changzhi did not dare to be careless and enveloped the three of them in a soundproof circle with a wave of his hand.
After the soundproofing circle was activated, Li Xuangang told how Jin Xianzong tried to seize him, but was killed by him instead.
However, he modified the result to say that Jin Xianzong was killed by a sneak attack by his third-level flame talisman.
Since Li Changzhi and Li Xuantian didn't know that Jin Xianzong's soul could already compare with the monks in the Jindan stage, this result was relatively credible to them.
Under normal circumstances, the soul of a seriously injured monk in the middle stage of foundation building really has little chance of surviving under the attack of the third-level flame talisman.
"So, you killed the foundation-building elder of the Corpse Ghost Sect?"
After listening to Li Xuangang's story, Li Changzhi confirmed with some solemnity:
"Seventh uncle, yes. Now his storage bag and the ruined corpse are still in my hands."
Hearing that Li Xuangang actually experienced two life-and-death crises in a short period of time, Li Xuantian couldn't help but sweat for him. As long as Li Xuangang made even the slightest mistake here, he might be the one who stayed in the Hengduan Mountains.
After hearing Li Xuangang's definite answer, Li Changzhi ordered:
"This matter cannot be spread to outsiders. It is only known to the three of us. In addition, how did you deal with Jin Xianzong's relics?"
