‘A corpse?’
Jiang Hao stood quietly on the deck and waited.
With the lowest cultivation realm, he naturally had to wait until the end.
However, it was surprising to find out that the two unknown individuals from before were actually from The End of All Things.
It seemed they had considerable influence.
Even the Great Thousand God Sect was not lacking in resources.
On the surface, they took on other people’s tasks. It seemed they had plenty of their own tasks as well.
Or perhaps, this was someone else’s task, and they were just here to complete it.
The ship began to enter the water and headed in an unknown direction.
Jiang Hao watched the ship as it arrived in the boundless sea.
The coastline of the Corpse Sea was no longer visible.
The sky had regained a bit of blue in it. It didn’t look as lifeless as before.
The sea remained unchanged.
A gentle breeze carried the smell of the ocean.
“Are you ready?” Old Man Corpse Realm smiled.
It seemed he hadn’t seen so many people here for a long time. He looked happy.
Everyone on the deck stood at their respective positions.
On the far left were the two from the Divine Corpse Sect. They were a pair of a man and a woman. Both were quite young.
Next to them were the people from the Great Thousand God Sect. The two looked rather ordinary. They wouldn’t stand out in a crowd.
Further on were two men. One was middle-aged and the other was young.
Then, there was the scholarly-looking man from the Astronomical Academy.
Jiang Hao stood at the far right.
Hong Yuye was beside him. She didn’t seem much fond of this place.
“We’re ready,” said the scholarly-looking man, Shujin.
“The Astronomical Academy is quite straightforward.” Old Man Corpse Sea chuckled.
He then waved his hand, and a vortex appeared in the sea.
A man clad in battle armor leaped out from the water.
He landed steadily on the deck and looked at everyone with hostility.
Jiang Hao was speechless.
The body seemed alive, but…
“He’s not alive.” Old Man Corpse Sea laughed. “He simply retained his combat capabilities. If you don’t attack him first, he won’t make a move against you. After you attack, it’s up to you to see how much you can injure him. If he retaliates and kills you, you’ll become another body in the Corpse Sea. There’s still time to withdraw.”
“There is no need for that,” said Shujin. “The opponent does look strong, but we’re ready.”
The opponent’s physical prowess was indeed quite formidable.
It wasn’t difficult to win, but the challenge was to injure and damage the opponent as much as possible.
“Then, let’s begin,” Old Man Corpse Sea said.
Shujin stepped forward but didn’t attack immediately. He set up various formations and artifacts around the opponent.
Finally, he launched his attack.
Boom!
A powerful force erupted and sent his opponent flying into the sea.
Soon, the figure emerged from the water again. One of his arms was missing, and there were numerous injuries on his body.
His combat prowess had diminished significantly.
It didn’t take long to subdue him, but doing more damage wasn’t easy. The opponent seemed to grow stronger the more they fought.
“Injured by thirty percent… I’ll answer three questions for you, ” Old Man Corpse Sea said.
Then, the seawater enveloped Shujin.
After some time, he was released.
Shujin frowned. He seemed to be thinking of something.
He bowed to Old Man Corpse Sea and stepped back.
Jiang Hao felt a bit regretful that this had turned out to be a question-and -answer session. Otherwise, he would have gained some answers without anything in exchange and showed off at the gathering.
“Respected Founder, we would like to ask about where Heavenly Stele
Mountain goes when it disappears,” said the man from the Divine Corpse Sect.
“Why? Do you want to go and see?” Old Man Corpse Sea didn’t mind breaking the rules.
“We’re looking for a senior brother who didn’t come down from Heavenly Stele Mountain. He vanished,” said the woman from the same sect.
“What was his cultivation realm?” Old Man Corpse Sea asked.
“Middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm,” said the woman.
“Dead.” Old Man Corpse Sea gestured toward the Corpse Sea. “You can try looking there. Maybe he’s somewhere in the Corpse Sea. All the bodies left behind end up in the Corpse Sea.”
“Wouldn’t they have entered another space along with Heavenly Stele Mountain?” asked the man.
“Another space?” Old Man Corpse Sea chuckled. “With just the Primordial Spirit Realm? If a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator could do that, why would you be here asking me this? You could have stayed in Heavenly Stele Mountain to find out.”
The two fell silent.
“Then, where does Heavenly Stele Mountain go when it disappears?”
“Founder, please…”
Before the two could finish their words, a light struck them.
They exploded on the spot.
“Alright, next,” Old Man Corpse Sea said calmly.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
At first, they thought Old Man Corpse Sea was easy to talk to, but strong individuals seemed unpredictable.
Jiang Hao glanced at Hong Yuye. She, too, was formidable and powerful.
It would be just as effortless for her to kill him.
He needed to be more cautious in the future.
Trying to reason with strong individuals or expecting goodwill from them was like dancing on the edge of a knife. It was a death wish.
The two women from the Great Thousand God Sect stepped forward. “We want to give it a try.”
The same corpse faced them. It had returned to its original state.
The two women had thought of imitating Shujin’s strategy, but as soon as they approached, the corpse attacked them.
“The first one always has an advantage. The latter won’t have the same benefit.” Old Man Corpse Sea chuckled.
It seemed he was playing with them to amuse himself.
The two from the Great Thousand God Sect used all their strength, but they only managed to inflict twenty percent damage.
After asking two questions, they stepped back.
Jiang Hao still didn’t know what they had asked. Next were the two individuals from The End of All Things
Even before they began, the corpse attacked.
“The more times it’s attacked, the smarter it becomes,” said Old Man Corpse
Sea.
At that moment, Jiang Hao felt that his chances were slim.
The opponent was deliberately manipulating the situation.
The two individuals from The End of All Things inflicted only ten percent damage. They were only allowed one question.
However, that question alone took a long time.
Jiang Hao felt that they were discussing something else.
The individuals from The End of All Things were also strategic. Perhaps, they were discussing whether to offer something to the old man in exchange. “Friend, be careful. It might be quite dangerous for you,” said Shujin kindly.
“Thank you, Friend,” Jiang Hao said gratefully.
“Is there anything you wish to ask, Friend?”
“I do have a few questions. Shujin, have you asked all your questions?”
“Yes. I have a minor question. I want to ask if the Corpse Realm is related to our external world.”
“If there are any extra questions, I can help you ask.”
Shujin had intended to accept a question from Jiang Hao if he had one. It seemed Jiang Hao was offering him the same thing.
Jiang Hao was only at the Golden Core Realm. He might only get one question, at most.
It was impossible for him to have the chance to ask more questions.
At that moment, the two individuals from The End of All Things were done. It was now Jiang Hao’s turn..
