Although he indeed desperately desired the Sky Swallowing Sparrow Treasure Bone, for the greater good, he decided to relinquish the Treasure Bone to Lin Yi.
After all, only in Lin Yi’s hands could the true power of the Sky Swallowing Sparrow Treasure Bone be unleashed.
However, the Peacock Saint Master’s secrecy was so effective that he had no idea Lin Yi wasn’t actually from the Peacock Clan and didn’t truly possess the Peacock Bloodline, and naturally couldn’t refine the Sky Swallowing Sparrow Treasure Bone.
Otherwise, knowing Lin Yi’s nature, how could he possibly relinquish such a treasure to someone else?
He was no great benevolent Buddhist monk.
Lin Yi shook his head, clearly very composed, "I have no interest in this Sky Swallowing Sparrow Treasure Bone. Refining it would only affect my bloodline, becoming a hindrance on my path of cultivation!"
"If it were a Kunpeng Treasure Bone, I might consider it! But the Sky Swallowing Sparrow is not yet worthy of my refining!"
Uttering this, he sounded incredibly arrogant, but it also aligned with everyone’s understanding of Kong Linyun, the new nobility in the Demon Beast Realm who had subdued the Imperial Family and a young Supreme terrorizing all clans—an outrageous character like him not being arrogant would indeed be abnormal!
"Then I won’t be polite!"
"I, Kong Sheng, will remember this favor!"
Kong Sheng, having been very interested in the Sky Swallowing Sparrow Treasure Bone, showed a hint of joy on his face upon hearing Lin Yi’s refusal and promptly took the Treasure Bone!
"Let’s fuse with it right here, as quickly as possible!"
Lin Yi said, "The stronger you are, Senior Kong Sheng, the more competitive we will be here in Corpse Emperor Mountain! Once you have fused with the Treasure Bone of the Sky Swallowing Sparrow, we can set off without delay!"
"I will refine it with all my effort now!"
Kong Sheng nodded. Fully refining the Sky Swallowing Sparrow Treasure Bone was difficult, but a preliminary fusion posed no great problem.
Kong Sheng found a spot in the gorge to go into seclusion, while Lin Yi, seizing this opportunity, could calm down and thoroughly study the new fragment of the Heavenly Demon Catalog.
The fragments of the Heavenly Demon Catalog, each page almost a scripture on its own, did not impact the study even if not connected.
Moreover, for some reason, Lin Yi seemed to have an innate mastery over the Heavenly Demon Catalog; even though the scriptures on the golden paper were supposed to be extremely obscure, Lin Yi could easily comprehend their profound secrets!
"Perhaps, this is what being a genius is!" Lin Yi thought of the anomaly in this way.
Thus, seven days passed.
While Lin Yi was cultivating, suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently as if there were a massive earthquake!
Lin Yi’s heart stirred, and he abruptly opened his eyes, his figure swiftly moved above the gorge, his gaze turned toward the epicenter of the earthquake where immense Corpse Qi was bursting forth, rendering the sky as dark as ink!
Lin Yi’s face showed shock; such a terrifying emission of Corpse Qi—could it be that this place was the Seal of Vigorous Corpse Emperor?
At this moment, other members of the Peacock Clan had also been alerted by the commotion and quickly emerged from the gorge, their eyes filled with a trace of shock.
Lin Yi’s gaze hardened, he immediately communicated with the people of the Peacock Clan, then rushed toward the source of the bursting Corpse Qi!
Deep within Corpse Emperor Mountain.
The area was completely contaminated by Corpse Qi, devoid of any vegetation, crisscrossed with ravines, and giant holes leading deep into the ground, unfathomable.
The overwhelming Corpse Qi was seeping out from these holes.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
In the sky, several figures sped from afar, the first to arrive here were the people from the four great clans of the Demon Beast Realm!
"It seems this is the place the Demon Emperor had us look for."
Jin Lie’s gaze fell on the "riddled" area in front of him, his eyes suddenly sparked with a flicker of light.
Upon entering Corpse Emperor Mountain, the Golden Crow Emperor had instructed them that finding the Seal of Vigorous Corpse Emperor would be best, but if not, they were to locate the power source of the external Barrier and destroy it to make the Barrier of Corpse Emperor Mountain disappear!
In this way, the two Demon Emperors could enter Corpse Emperor Mountain!
Completing just one of these two tasks would be considered a success.
"What are we waiting for?"
Qiao Shaofeng’s gaze was sharp, "Find the source of the Corpse Qi; if Vigorous Corpse Emperor is down there, all the better!"
"The Vigorous Corpse Emperor has already been sealed by the Demon Emperors and is probably on his last breath, no different from a live target. If we join forces and subdue him, it would be a great achievement."
However, a Quasi-Saint of the Qilin Clan shook his head and said, "Even the Demon Emperors couldn’t kill the Vigorous Corpse Emperor, only able to seal him; do you think we can do it?"
"Unless we completely incinerate his corpse, there might be a chance to eliminate the Vigorous Corpse Emperor, but his meat body is too tough, even injuring him slightly is difficult, let alone destroying him completely."
"The senior is right, after all, he is a powerful Saint King."
"Moreover, the Vigorous Corpse Emperor is the king of myriad corpses, unlike the Undying Blood Clan, he truly possesses an immortal and indestructible body!"
The Nine-tailed Fox Woman nodded, "Let’s leave the Vigorous Corpse Emperor to the two Demon Emperors; we just need to locate the source of the Corpse Qi and discern the reality of this place."
