Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

“Who is it that harmed my junior brother Wan?”

A voice filled with anger and authority echoed through the Fangsu District.

Everyone who heard it was alarmed and quickly gave way.

“It’s… that ruthless figure from the Beast Controller Sect.

Years ago, he fought against the Buddha’s Son of the Lotus Sect for thirty moves without losing. Even he was alarmed?”

“Nonsense, his close junior brother is dead. How could he not come?”

“Liu Cheng, the prodigy of the Beast Controller Sect, known as the Little Beast Master, is rumored to command eighteen types of spirit beasts.

His strength is unrivaled among those of the same rank, only slightly bested by the Buddha’s Son of the Lotus Sect!

He is almost seen as the next successor of the Beast Controller Sect.”

“Liu Cheng is already at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform, but he doesn’t care for an ordinary patrol position. He has always acted alone…”

Liu Cheng, the prodigy of the Beast Controller Sect, mentioned by everyone.

He appears to be a young man in his thirties, with a broad face, fair skin, thick eyebrows, and large eyes.

He wears a brilliantly colored Daoist Robe, adorned with various strange flying birds and beasts, flowers, birds, insects, and fish.

At this moment, he was grabbing the collar of a short-statured cultivator, angrily shouting, “Who killed my junior brother?!”

The cultivator, despite being at the Spirit Platform level, was so frightened that his face turned ghastly pale, and he dared not even wipe the saliva off his face.

Shivering, he said, “Please, Little Beast Master, spare me, it wasn’t me who killed him…”

“Who was it?”

“Friend Wan was always with Gao Wenxuan of the Two Forms Sect, they were practically inseparable…

If you ask Gao Wenxuan, you’ll know.”

“Hmph!” Liu Cheng casually threw the cultivator to the ground.

Then, he began to investigate the whereabouts of Gao Wenxuan.

Truth cannot be hidden forever, and soon he shifted all his attention to the cultivators from the Northern Domain.

The team led by Gao Wenxuan already had some cultivators who left early.

They never went to the alien space.

But they had some understanding of his plans and knew the backgrounds of other team members.

“Junior Brother Wan is dead, Gao Wenxuan is dead too, so how can those from the Northern Domain still be alive?”

Killing intent flickered across Liu Cheng’s brow as he started searching the Fangsu District.

Because Liu Cheng made no attempt to conceal his actions, his movements were too overt.

Before long, the matter reached the ears of Shen Ao and his group, making all the cultivators from the Northern Domain look worried.

“The supreme prodigy of the Beast Controller Sect, who fought multiple rounds with the Buddha’s Son of the Alliance Hierarch Sect without defeat.

And he possesses the cultivation of the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform. We simply can’t compete with him!”

“What should we do? Should we leave Fangsu District and return to our sects first?”

“Are we really going to miss the opportunity in the Blessed Realm of the True Monarch…”

Shen Ao, Jin Tingfeng, Lu Ziyun, Xin Zhiqi, and the others showed extreme indecision on their faces.

They then looked at the unremarkable young man in the team.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you say we should do?”

Since their last return from the alien space, Lou Yi had become the backbone of the team.

Even Shen Ao, who was usually proud and heroic, was convinced by him, just like Jin Tingfeng before.

“Fairy Xin, Fellow Daoist Jin, I think it would be better for you to return first.

As the opening of the Blessed Realm of the True Monarch draws near, Fangsu District will become increasingly chaotic,” Lou Yi suggested after some thought.

Xin Zhiqi and Jin Tingfeng’s cultivation was still at the peak of ordinary Foundation Establishment and hadn’t reached the Realm of Perfection in Foundation Establishment.

Staying in Fangsu District would not only be a burden on the team but would also become extremely dangerous for themselves.

A slight aftermath of a clash between experts could seriously injure them.

“Alright… be careful yourself too.”

“…Once I reach the Realm of Perfection in Foundation Establishment, I’ll come back and fight!”

Though Xin Zhiqi and Jin Tingfeng were reluctant, they knew Lou Yi’s words made sense and prepared to follow his advice.

Even Lu Ziyun, another female cultivator of Qingluan Palace, felt the same.

Her cultivation was at the Second Layer of the Spirit Platform, insignificant in the upcoming grand scenes.

In the end, only three people remained from the team: Lou Yi, Shen Ao, and the elder Body Cultivator of the True Blood Sect.

“Once I reach the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform, you can return here. It won’t take long!” Shen Ao said confidently and high-spiritedly.

Being forced to part with his teammates due to insufficient strength intensified his desire to improve his strength, igniting a fierce fighting spirit.

Three days later.

’Bang!’

A bright green light streaked across the sky.

It heavily crashed into a fifty-zhang-high hill, shattering the entire hill into pieces.

The green armor that Shen Ao wore was already shattered, his whole body was covered in bloody wounds, and the Spirit Platform of the Fourth Layer above his head was teetering.

He coughed up a large mouthful of blood, then looked up angrily.

In the sky, there was a bizarre spirit beast about fifty zhang long.

With the head of a lion and the body of a bird, its black feathers gleamed with a metallic sheen, as sharp as swords.

On one steel-like black-purple claw, there were remnants of blood and flesh.

“Tell me, did you kill my junior brother?” Atop the spine of the bird-beast stood a broad-faced man wearing a colorful Daoist Robe.

It was the famous, rumored to rival Daoists and Buddhas, prodigy of the Beast Controller Sect, Liu Cheng.

“Screw your mother, which eye did you see it with?” Despite being brutally beaten, Shen Ao was still defiant and cursed angrily at him.

“Looking for death?” Liu Cheng’s face darkened.

With a wave of his hand, the lion-headed bird-bodied spirit beast dived down like lightning with a whoosh.

Its sharp claws, gleaming with cold light, were already targeting Shen Ao’s body, ready to tear him apart.

’Swish!’

At this moment, a beam of sharp and fierce rainbow light flew from afar.

It mercilessly collided with the lion-headed spirit beast!

The lion-headed bird-bodied spirit beast’s eyes glinted with ferocity. Its house-sized claws adjusted direction, fiercely grabbing at the rainbow light.

’Boom!’

Visible white and red shockwaves crazily spread out in all directions from their point of impact, like an amazing whirlwind disaster had occurred.

A large number of shattered black feathers floated down from the sky.

“Impressive skills.” Liu Cheng’s face was somewhat grim as he looked at the opposite side, cautiously widening the distance between them. “Body Cultivator?”

There stood a person, suspended in the air without any magical artifacts.

Anyone who saw it would suddenly feel an unfathomable presence.

Liu Cheng was quite surprised in his heart.

His spirit beast was nearly stepping into the realm of the Fifth Bloodline Transformation.

But in the recent confrontation, it didn’t gain any advantage and was slightly on the losing side.

’My current strength, after several enhancements, is almost invincible in the realm of the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform.’ Lou Yi, after driving away this ferocious spirit beast, gained some insight.

Of course, the gap between the Fourth Layer and the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform is still significant.

I saw Liu Cheng, the Little Beast Master of the Beast Controller Sect, wave his hand boldly, and seven or eight gigantic figures suddenly appeared in the air.

There was a massive toad beast covered in colorful bumps, a six-winged flying centipede of pure jade-white.

And a black swarm of unknown insects, covering half the sky, buzzing intermittently…

Every figure’s aura was no less than the lion-headed spirit beast just repelled by Lou Yi.

“You want a death match? I see you’re tired of living!” Liu Cheng sneered.

He was about to order his spirit beasts to launch a group attack on Lou Yi.

The next moment, he suddenly felt a chill, instinctively turning his head to look behind him.

There, without a sound, a mysterious figure shrouded in hazy white light appeared, with an indistinct visage.

Its aura seemed very weak, resembling an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Yet it gave Liu Cheng an extremely dangerous feeling.

’This guy is hard to see through…’ Liu Cheng squinted.

How could an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator give me such a feeling?

This made him even more cautious to not carelessly probe.

“Who are you?” Liu Cheng asked.

…
