Chapter 729: Corpse Refinement (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“That’s not right. The strength of the Red Refined Corpse doesn’t purely depend on the physical body. To be more precise, it’s to see the system of these Sages when they were alive!”
Xiao Shi was deep in thought. The Sages of the Beginner Martial Era were completely different from the Sages of the Great Wu Era. The Sages here did not need to refine a domain to become Sages.
Not only in the Beginner Martial Era, it was the same in the other eras Xiao Shi had come into contact with. Only the Sages of the Great Wu Era needed to refine their domains.
Although the martial arts system of various eras would more or less have some differences, he felt that the greatest difference in the martial arts system between the Great Wu Era and the other eras was the Sage Realm.
Compared to the Red Refined Corpse refined with the Red Refined Secret Technique, the Red Refined Corpse refined from the corpses of the Sages of the Great Wu Era would definitely be the weakest among the corpses of the Sages of all eras.
This was because the Sages under the Great Wu Era would only be their strongest form in their own domain.
But after they died, their domains could not be preserved in their corpses.
Therefore, the Red Refined Corpse refined from the Red Refined Secret Technique would not have such a domain augment at all. The combat strength it could unleash was far inferior to the Red Refined Corpse refined from the corpses of other Sages.
As for Sages like the Tai Yue Clan who specialized in physical bodies, the combat power of their corpses would not be much weakened even after they died. Especially the many runes on the Tai Yue Clan. Even after they died, they would not dissipate, thus preserving their strength to the greatest extent.
The Red Refined Corpse refined from this would be far stronger than ordinary Red Refined Corpses.
Xiao Shi even compared the Red Refined Corpse of the Tai Yue Clan to his original Red Refined Corpse. He discovered that the Red Refined Corpse of the Tai Yue Clan was even stronger than the Red Refined Corpse he had first obtained!
“Unfortunately, the Red Refinement Secret Technique can only refine corpses. It can’t refine the Red Corpse Refinement Saber and Red Smelted Battlesuit.”
Xiao Shi felt a little regretful about this. The power of the Red Refined Corpse was not only limited to the corpse itself. It also needed to be matched with the Red Corpse Refinement Saber and the Red Smelted Battlesuit. Only then could he unleash his strongest combat strength.
Unfortunately, he only had five sets of the Red Corpse Refinement Saber and the Red Smelted Battlesuit. He could not let all the Red Refined Corpses have one each. In this way, he could only equip these five sets of Red Corpse Refinement Saber and Red Smelted Battlesuit on the five strongest Red Refined Corpses.
Hence, Xiao Shi could divide these Red Refined Corpses into three different levels according to their strength.
These five Red Refined Corpses that were equipped with the Red Corpse Refinement Saber and the Red Smelted Battlesuit were naturally the strongest.
The second level was the other Red Refined Corpses of the Tai Yue Clan that did not have the Red Corpse Refinement Saber and Red Smelted Battlesuit.
If he could create more Red Corpse Refinement Saber and Red Smelted Battlesuit in the future, the Red Refined Corpses at this level could also reach the strength of the first level. Even the weakest Red Refined Corpse still had powerful combat strength that could contend with ordinary Sages.
Most importantly, the corpses that Xiao Shi had stolen this time were not in the reset range of the Beginner Martial Era. Which meant, when Xiao Shi left the Beginner Martial Era, he could completely bring them back to his era.
This was undoubtedly a huge gain.
Just like that, time passed. Three years passed in the blink of an eye. In the past three years, Xiao Shi had done nothing but focus on corpse refinement. From there, he successfully refined all the Sage corpses in his hand into the Red Refined Corpses.
“In that case, it’s time to move!”
A cold glint flashed across Xiao Shi’s eyes. Stealing the Sage’s corpse was only the first step in his plan. The next step was the key. Apart from refining the Red Refined Corpse in the past three years, Xiao Shi was also waiting for an opportunity. He was waiting for the matter of him stealing the corpse to fade as time passed.
After all, he had caused a huge commotion when he stole the corpses. Even if he could complete the refinement of the Red Refined Corpses at that time, it was not suitable for him to move.
Now, three years have passed. Although the impact was still there, compared to three years ago, the entire matter had faded a lot.
Xiao Shi did not plan to act in the Heavenly Sacrifice Country. Even though the number of Sages in the Heaven Sacrifice Country was the most in the entire Wu Empire, with a demigod there, there was definitely no way he could choose to attack here. He chose the Xueyan Country of the twelve lower countries as his target.
According to the information he had, there were also many Sages in the Xueyan Country. Although it did not have as many as in the Heaven Sacrifice Country, it definitely has the most Sages in the many lower kingdoms.
That day, Xiao Shi arrived in Xueyan Country. However, he was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he first investigated. Before he took action, he needed to know the whereabouts of all the Sages in the Xueyan Kingdom to ensure that every Sage in the Xueyan Kingdom was under his control.
Only then could he capture them all in one fell swoop!
Even if it took some time, he was not in a hurry. Only three years had passed in the three hundred years.
“It will naturally be the best if 1 can leave a mark on them and control their location at any time.” Xiao Shi thought to himself.
It was not that he did not have such methods. The most representative was the Heaven-rank secret technique, Dust Seal, that he had obtained from the Martial Entry-Level. It had been upgraded to the Martial Soul-Level, Soul Seal.
Unfortunately, after the Soul Seal reached the martial soul level, it had already reached the end. There were no subsequent improvements.
Xiao Shi felt that if he wanted to further increase the Soul Seal to the point where he could mark Sages, he had to modify it himself. Fie already had some thoughts in his heart. He decided to try combining the Soul Seal with another ability of the Mountain God lineage, “Earth Sense”.
The ability of the Mountain God’s lineage, “Earth Sense”, was mainly to sense an area of land. As long as the people in this area were in a state of stepping on the ground, Xiao Shi could sense the existence of these people through this ability. Moreover, because he had already reached the Sage level in terms of controlling the abilities of the Mountain God lineage, he could completely sense the Sages through this ability.
However, this ability could only sense the Sages in his area. It was impossible to sense such a large area in the entire Xueyan Kingdom. Therefore, it needed to be combined with the Soul Seal. Once he succeeded, he could use the Soul Seal as a medium to sense the Sages in an area through it.
Soon,
When he tried to combine it, he realized that the combination of the Soul Seal and the Earth Sense was very smooth. There was no conflict between the two.
After the successful fusion, Xiao Shi condensed the mark on a portion of the people in the area where one of the Sages was. After all, with the status of the Soul Seal, it could only be condensed on people below the Sage Realm.
If he forcefully condensed it on a Sage, he would definitely be noticed by the Sage. This was also an important reason why he could not directly mark the Sages through the Soul Seal. He could only condense the Soul Seal on some important people in an area.
For example, the City Lords of the various cities. These City Lords usually stayed in their cities and rarely went out. This way, Xiao Shi could sense the Sages in the entire city through the Soul Seals on their bodies.
As Xiao Shi cast his net widely, he used four months to successfully spread his Soul Seal Chess Pieces everywhere in the Xueyan Kingdom. Through these chess pieces, he clearly controlled the location of every Sage in the Xueyan Kingdom.
“Everything is ready! I can move now!”
Killing intent flickered in Xiao Shi’s eyes..
