Chapter 1793

Another day, Diewumeng and the other found the Silent Lotus Corpse-Transforming Pill recipe, which was hidden in the place they had ignored—underground where the corpse-born lotus grows, protected by its root tendrils, making it impossible to locate.

Clearly the corpse-born lotus was taken by Chen Chuyang, even its root tendrils were uprooted, yet some insignificant tendrils remained; those tendrils, having lost the lotus, withered gradually, emitting a faint poison that grew stronger with time.

A pill recipe was hidden inside; had they not finally attacked those poisonous gases, they truly wouldn't have found it. After locating the recipe, the two breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that if they failed to find it and it collapsed with the cave, it would be truly lost.

This cave's resilience is strong; it hasn't collapsed yet but is already at the brink. Both doubt its viability; forcing a repair would drain too much spirit, Qi, and effort, making it unworthy—better to carve a new one themselves.

Moreover, this place is the Corpse Refining Sect's territory; the cave cannot be taken, so letting it collapse would fully sever the Sect's ascent, causing the Corpse Refining Sect to disappear from Cangzhou forever.

"We've found the Silent Lotus Corpse-Transforming Pill recipe; we can be at ease. Diewumeng, let's leave quickly; this cave is truly about to collapse," the Tian Du Men Dragon King tucked away the recipe. This particular recipe is extremely important; he will hand it personally to Chen Chuyang to demonstrate his sincerity.

Diewumeng smiled and reached out: "Give me the Silent Lotus Corpse-Transforming Pill recipe; I will tell my husband later."

The Tian Du Men Dragon King thought for a moment, took it out, handed it to her, and instructed: "Diewumeng, you must speak a few flattering words for me."

"No problem, the recipe was found by you, the credit is yours; I won't take your merit," Diewumeng nodded and said: "I'll tell my husband about this; whenever you want something, just bring it up with my husband."

That's a matter between them; Diewumeng will not intervene, nor will she agree on behalf of Chen Chuyang.

"Thank you," the Tian Du Men Dragon King bowed. Diewumeng's words remain trustworthy; they each have their own dignity and would not do such a thing. Moreover, Diewumeng is Chen Chuyang's wife, so she need not do such a thing.

"Let's go."

The two left the cave, and behind them the cave began to collapse. They emerged outside, where the Corpse Refining Sect had become a ruin. Outside, many people were waiting, all watching this side. When Chen Chuyang and his party departed, those people noticed but did not intervene, being too afraid to block them.

Chen Chuyang appeared swiftly and vanished just as swiftly, disappearing in the blink of an eye, giving them no chance to block him, not even a chance to ask a question. Finally, they waited until the Tian Du Men Dragon King and Diewumeng emerged, and rushed forward to inquire.

Lan Tiansheng, who had been hidden, was the first to appear beside Diewumeng, concerned: "Diewumeng, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Lan Tiansheng, how is it outside?" Diewumeng asked about the outside situation; she didn't know how things were—whether the Corpse Refining Sect had been annihilated, how many people they lost.

"It's already taken care of outside; the Corpse Refining Sect is completely annihilated. All its disciples have been killed; not a single survivor."

"Our losses aren't many; the Corpse Refining Sect's higher-ups are absent, we encountered no danger. How about you, are you okay?"

Lan Tiansheng saw Chen Chuyang enter inside and also saw him leave; he didn't directly question Chen Chuyang, but instead cautiously reminded Diewumeng.

Diewumeng smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, everything is going smoothly."

Understood; Lan Tiansheng instantly realized that this place is not a place for conversation; some words cannot be spoken here and need to be said elsewhere.

"That works. Since that's the case, we should return. The specific allocation method has been discussed these past days; there are no objections," Lan Tiansheng reported. These days, they haven't been idle; naturally they've been discussing how to divide the Corpse Refining Sect's territories and various resources.

The Corpse Refining Sect's treasure vault was located, its contents are controlled by the Tian Du Men. Over this period they discussed and finally reached a solution: the Tian Du Men takes a bit more, Mangshan Demon Palace and Jichun Sect split evenly, roughly a 4:3:3 division, and neither side raised objections.

In this extermination operation, the Tian Du Men was the main force; taking a bit more is understandable.

The Jichun Sect and Mangshan Demon Palace both agreed; neither wanted to quarrel, each received considerable benefits, and continuing to argue would be pointless.

"Fine, then split it that way; you handle it," Diewumeng, having no mood to manage these matters, noted that many of the allocated territories are unusable; the beasts of Mangshan Demon Palace cannot emerge, it's merely an extra buffer zone.

In the future, they can move freely in this region; the relationship between Mangshan Demon Palace and humans has eased considerably, which is beneficial. However, this relationship cannot remain forever; at least for now, maintaining it is good.

After understanding the situation, Diewumeng nodded to the Tian Du Men Dragon King and then left directly.

Lan Tiansheng ordered to go down and left together.

Over at the Tian Du Men side.

Wu Mie Zhenren and Emei Zhenren hurried to the Tian Du Men Dragon King, both deeply worried.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King, are you alright?"

"Your Majesty the Dragon King, has everything inside been resolved?"

The Tian Du Men Dragon King waved his hand: "The matter is settled; the Corpse Refining Sect side is handed to you; I should also return now."

He could no longer hold on; his body began to change, gradually turning old. The Tian Du Men Dragon King immediately left the place, daring not to linger, nor wanting anyone to see his current state.

When he returned to the Tian Du Men, he went straight into his dragon palace, activated a Formation, sat on the dragon throne, and his body began to change; he became old, his skin wrinkled, undergoing a transformation that turned him into an old man.

He no longer has his former authority; now he is like a senile old man about to fall.

"Cough cough cough, is it time?"

"The 'Three Lives Method' has begun again."

His voice grew old as well, and his aura changed; this transformation is very strange and very different.

Sitting there, he radiated an aged aura, yet showed no sign of weakness.

He is old, not dead.

After a while, the Tian Du Men Dragon King exhaled a puff of foul breath and said: "I should also enter deep sleep; my body is beginning to metamorphose. Once the 'Three Lives Method' starts, it cannot be stopped."

"Three Lives Method" is the cultivation technique he practices, a remarkably miraculous method; each metamorphosis brings his body into a special stage—youth, middle age, old age—three forms. Each transformation greatly enhances his power.

This time is no exception.

The journey to the Corpse Refining Sect, that battle, and the many pills he took brought his body to the condition for metamorphosis, prompting an immediate transformation.
