Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

The hardness of the rubble can be seen, and it’s no less than ordinary metal and iron.

But even such a hard stone mountain couldn’t withstand a casual strike from Su Xinghe.

The strength of the Alliance Hierarch’s Daoist of the Sect is evident.

“Whoever lays a hand on my friend, shall receive my sword!”

Su Xinghe made it clear that he was backing Lou Yi, with a domineering attitude.

The path of the Sword Cultivator has always been about extreme aggression, not to mention the unrivaled Daoist of the Boundless Sword Sect in the Vast Sea Realm.

The power of his astonishing sword-light attack is something that even a giant croc of the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Platform would not dare claim they could withstand.

Seeing this, there was a noticeable commotion within Jiang Hui’s team.

“What a powerful sword! Even from such a distance, I’m getting goosebumps, and my skin feels painful.

Can’t imagine the terrifying pressure of facing this sword directly!”

“Every Sword Cultivator from the Boundless Sword Sect is a tough character.

Su Xinghe’s ability to hold the position of Daoist is beyond question, right?”

“Honestly, it seems obvious that Gao Wenxuan from the Two Forms Sect is the culprit, capturing these Northern Domain barbarians is pointless.”

No one wanted to face off against the Daoist of the Boundless Sword Sect.

And furthermore, Jiang Hui’s reasoning was already weak.

Dealing with Northern Domain cultivators without background was easy enough, they could strong-arm and extort them.

But encountering someone with a background not even weaker, even stronger like the Daoist of the Boundless Sword Sect was like hitting a brick wall, this road was blocked.

“Fine, Su Xinghe, protect the criminal, let’s hope you won’t regret it in the future!” Jiang Hui knew that it was impossible to achieve his goals today and had to leave a harsh remark, filled with reluctance.

“Whether or not I’m protecting someone isn’t for you to decide. If you’re not satisfied, you can try confronting me.” Su Xinghe stood with hands behind his back, his aura dominant, speaking boldly.

It seemed as if he didn’t take Jiang Hui, a prodigy of an allied sect, seriously at all.

“Hmph!” Jiang Hui’s eyes flickered a few times but still chose not to confront directly.

He turned with a wave of his sleeve, leaving with a group of cultivators who had originally followed him.

“This Su Xinghe is too arrogant!” Someone beside grumbled unhappily.

“No matter, true prodigies don’t care about temporary gains and losses.

Only forming the Golden Core early is the true path of kings.

By then, all past grudges are nothing but a bit of wind and frost.” Jiang Hui’s expression soon returned to calm, making it hard for others to gauge his true thoughts.

In reality, Jiang Hui was extremely angry, today was undoubtedly a big embarrassment.

He could already imagine how others would discuss this matter in the future.

’Daoist of the Boundless Sword Sect scares off True Inheritance of Taiyi Sect with one shout’

’Daoist of the Boundless Sword Sect scares off True Inheritance of Taiyi Sect with a single sword’

’Taiyi Sect utterly beaten by the Boundless Sword Sect’ and the like.

Nearby, Chen Ming of the Two Forms Sect was also filled with hatred.

His mind raced, plotting how to deal with Lou Yi and his companions.

’You can’t hide behind Su Xinghe forever.’ Chen Ming was filled with killing intent, “As soon as I find an opportunity, I’ll make sure to tear you apart!”

After a moment, as if struck by a thought, he asked a tall green-robed cultivator beside him: “Fellow Daoist Cui, you’re familiar with the Northern Domain.

Who are those three from the Northern Domain we just saw?”

The green-robed cultivator replied: “One of them is called Shen Ao, from the True Blood Sect.

The white-haired old man beside him has a similar aura and should also be from the True Blood Sect.

However, the ordinary-looking young man was quite unfamiliar, I don’t know his background.”

“How many sects can there be in the Northern Domain anyway?” Chen Ming sneered, “Check it out thoroughly, and you’ll naturally uncover his identity.”

“That’s true.” The green-robed cultivator nodded, “Since Brother Chen is interested, I’ll send someone to investigate.”

“Thank you!” Chen Ming said happily.

On the other side.

After resolving the crisis, Lou Yi and the other two immediately clasped their fists in salute to Su Xinghe and the others: “Many thanks to Daoist Su and all the fellow Daoists here for your help, we are endlessly grateful!”

“Fellow Daoist Liu, you’re being overly polite, it was just a small matter, I merely happened to be passing through.” Su Xinghe said calmly, not at all arrogant.

“For Daoist Su it was a small matter, but for me, it was an immense kindness.” Lou Yi said seriously, then smiled,

“Just now I thought for sure I was going to die, who would’ve thought a savior would descend from the heavens.

I was even thinking, isn’t this perhaps the fortune I’ve accumulated by diligently eliminating demons during my time in the Abyss, accumulating merit.”

Everyone present burst into laughter.

“Liu Shu, it’s great that you’re alright!” Lin Xuan, with her twin pigtails, came hopping over gleefully.

Behind him, were the charming Ding Shiniang, the elderly-looking Elder Gui, the sallow and taciturn Qin Dong, and He Shuli from the Dafeng Kingdom.

The few who were originally from the same team immediately started to chat and catch up.

“How did you end up provoking that turtle son from the Taiyi Sect…”

“… I even came looking for you guys several times when I arrived but couldn’t find you…”

In truth, it had only been about a month since they last met.

But in the perilous and fast-paced Abyss, it felt like several years had passed.

Through chatting with Lin Xuan and the others, Lou Yi learned.

That on their way from the Xusu District to the Fangsu District, they happened to encounter a group traveling with Su Xinghe.

Due to their prior ’comradeship in arms’ from vanquishing the demon, both parties decided to team up, which made it easier to find various spiritual creatures and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

As they say, the more the merrier.

“This is Fellow Daoist Shen from the True Blood Sect, Elder Cao…” Lou Yi introduced Shen Ao to Lin Xuan and the others.

“Come on, we need to get back to the Xusu District to hunt spiritual creatures again!” Someone from Su Xinghe’s team urged.

Lou Yi and the other two then joined Su Xinghe’s team, temporarily becoming part of it.

The team returned to the Xusu District, found a lair of spiritual creatures, and began a large-scale scourge.

In this lair, there was also a spiritual creature whose cultivation had reached the Fifth Bloodline Transformation.

Yet it still couldn’t withstand a sword from Su Xinghe and became resources for everyone to improve their cultivation.

Thus, Lou Yi tagged along with Su Xinghe for several days.

After gaining some familiarity, he sought out Su Xinghe again.

“Daoist Su, I wonder if you have any friends in the Xusu District?

I’m currently at a bottleneck in my cultivation, and my cultivation technique is unique, requiring the honing and breakthroughs from killing demons, yet I don’t know where the demons are here in the Xusu District.”

“Indeed, I know of two who are quite familiar.” Su Xinghe nodded.

Soon, he introduced Lou Yi to a local team in the Xusu District.

The leader of the team was a prodigy from the True Blood Sect of the twenty-four upper sects named Fang Zhiyuan.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a seemingly straightforward nature.

Upon learning that Lou Yi was there to help clear demons, and since he was recommended by Su Xinghe, he was certain Lou Yi was reliable and was overjoyed.

“Fellow Daoist, you must be tired from your long journey, I have elixirs that can restore cultivation!”

Clearing demons is a duty of every cultivator in the Abyss.

But unlike hunting spiritual creatures, it’s purely a tedious task.

There is no gain, and it consumes a lot of spiritual essence, requiring several days to recover after each cleaning.

Anyone willing to come and help was more than welcome.

Fang Zhiyuan, a prodigy of the True Blood Sect, was responsible for three demon locations in the Xusu District, one underground chasm, and two demon dens.

Lou Yi naturally didn’t miss any opportunity, running around with the team led by Fang Zhiyuan, and in just ten days, he gained several thousand points of energy.

Moreover, his taunting talent was constantly increasing, and he was perhaps not far from the Minor Achievement realm.

Despite the impressive results, Lou Yi was not satisfied.

After getting more acquainted with Fang Zhiyuan, he had him introduce another two teams to help in demon clearing.

Each team guarded different demon dens, and the times of outbreaks also varied widely.

This caused Lou Yi to be like an ox, running around every day with tasks to do, demons to clear, and energy to collect.

The growth in his energy was visibly accelerating.

One hundred and ten thousand points, one hundred and twenty-five thousand points, one hundred and thirty-three thousand points…

The distance to the fifteen thousand points needed to forcibly deduce the Petrification Talent was getting closer and closer.

However, Lou Yi dared not relax his vigilance at all.

He could sense that there was always a faint malice hovering around the periphery.

Clearly, he had been marked by that group of people.
