Once struck, strange flowers and weeds like their own will grow from the wound, subsequently devouring the Qi and blood within their bodies with a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more alarming is that they can control the corpse tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although both the Demon Star Order Holders and the Reincarnators are official Sequence 8, possessing powers gifted by the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, they are outnumbered, and a round of fighting has resulted in heavy casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at this moment that one person from each side stood out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Reincarnator side, it was a handsome Daoist priest dressed in simple clothing, his hair tied with a wooden hairpin, and a phoenix-shaped Dao mark between his brows. He suddenly took out a box of jade talismans, chanted a spell, and the talismans flew up, seeking out other Reincarnators in the same camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Daoist spoke in a clear voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoists, this jade talisman is called the [Origin-Returning Body-Protecting Talisman], a defensive talisman treasure from my Vast Heaven Sect, bestowed upon me by my elders for life-saving purposes. Now that fellow practitioners are in trouble, how can I, Wen Feifeng, stand idly by?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please wear them on your bodies and come to my side to form a magic array together; we shall be able to avoid being slaughtered by these eerie medicine corpses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice fell, those Reincarnators who received the jade talismans tested them one after another, and indeed, merely wearing them generated a defense, leaving those medicine corpses temporarily helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, without further hesitation, they all rushed over to form the array together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Wen is truly generous. The grade of this set of talisman treasures is likely not low. In my Earth Mother Sect, for my path, one must be Sequence 7 [Earth Official] to be qualified to receive such a share.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems Fellow Daoist Wen has quite a status in the sect to be bestowed such a treasure. After I officially promoted to Sequence 8 [Qi Refiner], I couldn't even beg for a crudely refined magic sword in my sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amitabha, many thanks to Benefactor Wen for protecting this little monk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is good to be able to form a magic array together; in this kind of eerie domain, one doesn't seek gains, just survival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by these voices, the Reincarnator side fully revealed themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding the two dead Red God Sect brutes, the \"Martial Disciple\" who died of severe wounds, and a few unlucky ones who died in the corpse tide, eight people remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, the mechanical scholar from the Demon Star Order Holder side who called himself Wisdom Star also stood out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by clicking sounds and the hissing of scarlet steam, spherical oddities the size of fists, resembling monster eyeballs, flew out from his body. As if possessing their own navigation, they also flew to seek out other Demon Star Order Holders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was clearly trying to compete with \"Wen Feifeng\" of the Vast Heaven Sect, to see who was more generous, more sincere, and more suitable to be a leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is 'Shang Yang', codename Wisdom Star. I am under the command of the Sacred Nest, the ruler of the Southern District of Ten Thousand Blessings City, and I am a Sequence 8 [Scholar] of the Ancient Saint path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This object is called [Psionic Death Star]. It can both activate a protective light shield and fire psionic death rays... it is an oddity uniquely created by my Sacred Nest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I gift each of you one; you can use it after dripping a drop of blood to claim ownership.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is only one condition: please listen to my command for the time being. After we wipe out these medicine corpses, we will then slaughter these hypocritical Reincarnators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the ownership of the corpse of the Penglai female immortal, everyone can rely on their own abilities at the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! Since it is under the Sacred Nest, it is naturally trustworthy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I am not from Ten Thousand Blessings City, I have heard of the Ancient Saint's prestige. Count me in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was because Shang Yang revealed his identity and name, or the temptation of the rare oddity, the two people who had been hiding on the Demon Star Order Holder side also appeared one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their paths and sequences were both unknown, and together with the tiger-headed demon monk and the Unclean One, they each revealed greed and accepted a Psionic Death Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shang Yang was not satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned and scanned the complex battlefield; the surging corpse tide could not block the perspective radiance emitted by his pair of mechanical eyeballs, but he could not find that seventh person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to speak again, calling out sincerely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is still one Order Holder left. If it is inconvenient to come over, just show yourself and call out, and this Death Star will still be yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should not know that every time the eerie domain spirit realm traversal ends, an assessment is conducted... If our performance is extremely poor and this eerie domain ends up in the hands of those hypocritical righteous gods, even if you are not erased after it ends, you will be thrown into an eerie domain with a higher mortality rate during the next traversal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Demon Star Order Holder side is already at a disadvantage in numbers; we cannot afford to lose a single one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it weren't for this, why would I, Shang Yang, bother giving you such a significant benefit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After these words, which were reasonable and grounded, and even contained secret rules, were spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu, who was in the shadows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was mixed in the corpse tide, while desperately absorbing the extraordinary knowledge delivered for free, such as \"Earth Mother Sect path Sequence 7 [Earth Official],\" \"Great Luo Golden Immortal path Sequence 8 [Qi Refiner],\" \"Ancient Saint path Sequence 8 [Scholar],\" and so on. At the same time, he frowned as he looked at both sides: Wen Feifeng and Shang Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he couldn't say why, he always felt something was wrong, so he had no intention of claiming any Psionic Death Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost of free things is the most expensive; Li Yu knew this well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the strange behavior of these two did give him some ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially as he gradually noticed that those approximately one hundred \"Undying Medicine Corpses\" would turn their heads toward the position of the corpse tide where he was located from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninety in the palace area in front, and nine scattered ones gathered from various places in the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently and stealthily, they seemed to be completing an encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that every time they made a move, they were inadvertently blocked by the groups led by Wen Feifeng and Shang Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter did not know that the Undying Medicine Corpses wanted to slaughter their dozen or so people just because they happened to pass by; they only thought they were trying to complete side missions while saving their lives, so they each gave their all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was extremely intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Li Yu already had an epiphany in his heart:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This corpse city must have some kind of harvesting rule. These Undying Medicine Corpses will send out ten from time to time to harvest these mortal medicine corpses everywhere to irrigate the so-called spiritual roots within their bodies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+Shu_ba\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, I accidentally slaughtered one of them, the ninety-third of the hundred children, which is why these commotions were caused? Of course, it can't really be blamed on me; if others slaughtered one, they would still lead these out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My concealment was originally very effective, until the Demon Star Order in my body collected that bit of spiritual root, and these pieces of shit can faintly sense it...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this thought arose, alarm bells rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subconsciously wanted to turn and flee, but soon realized with a start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the spiritual root on him and his disguise failing, wouldn't he be even more exposed if he moved? He would be directly locked onto and hunted by ninety-nine terrifying medicine corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must divert the disaster and share the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Li Yu had an idea in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw him first tuck the Heart-Compassion Pill, God-Foot Pill, and Flame-Explosion Pill into his sleeves, and then deliberately shouted loudly to both sides:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Shang's good intentions, I accept, but the path I cultivate and my great Lord both require me not to borrow the power of other outer gods; Ancient Saint creations are included in this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot borrow outer objects, but I can listen to some rule knowledge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is also my first time in this eerie domain, and Brother Shang should be the same, only Brother Shang has a background and backing, so you must have known in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as Brother Shang tells me more secrets related to the Demon Star Order and the eerie domain, such as what is the use of merit points?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can tell you the weakness of these [Undying Medicine Corpses].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this Brother Wen of the Vast Heaven Sect is also interested in making this deal, you can also speak up; the price is the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To tell you the truth, the first medicine corpse was killed by me; it was very easy, done in one or two breaths.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by these voices, the gazes of both sides were locked for the first time on a strange person in the corpse tide wearing a comical fox mask and carrying a huge yellow-skinned gourd on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone realized that this person was the last Demon Star Order Holder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him in the corpse tide but ignored by all the zombies, they all understood that this person must have some special concealment technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And hearing the words he spat out, Wen Feifeng's expression shifted, while Shang Yang's mechanical eyes flashed with red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had extraordinary origins and possessed strange arts to discern lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, they made a judgment: what this person said was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, both were moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no doubt that this Demon Star Order Holder, who hid like a mouse, was blackmailing the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, what he was blackmailing was not some rare oddity, but merely some rule knowledge that could not be considered very secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to these inconsequential pieces of knowledge, if they could quickly slaughter these one hundred \"Undying Medicine Corpses,\" the benefits would be much greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could win over people's hearts, establish more prestige, complete side missions, avoid being erased, obtain more merit points, and quickly advance into the palace... with so many wonderful benefits, it was really hard to resist being moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person killed the first Undying Medicine Corpse and has already completed the side mission; he will not be erased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I don't tell him now, he will know after the mission ends anyway; it is better to take it now to exchange for benefits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought flashed through the minds of Shang Yang and Wen Feifeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, nearly a hundred Undying Medicine Corpses and the corpse tide rioted one after another, their offensive momentum becoming even more ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This change looked exactly like it was providing evidence for \"Li Yu\"; were the medicine corpses worried about their weakness being leaked, so they were all anxious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, neither of them hesitated anymore. While each formed two fortress magic arrays to block the offensive, they spoke one after another, revealing the rule knowledge in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2148,"2026-06-21T04:11:00.205Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0d4de8f802a94fa9319e3377e2ce4d27c377ef1153d9cd2261c60993c6f062cb","ten-thousand-laws-of-the-occult-i-am-the-spirit--chapter-44","ten-thousand-laws-of-the-occult-i-am-the-spirit--chapter-42",427,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ften-thousand-laws-of-the-occult-i-am-the-spirit--cover.jpg"]
