My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

137 Killing the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family!

First of all, he placed the three Heavenly Cycle realm corpses he had obtained from Li Heishui into the heaven burial copper coffin.

[Ding!]

[You have collected Zhao Youwei’s corpse and obtained 100 years of lifespan. After the system’s tenfold enhancement, you have obtained 1,000 years of lifespan.]

[Unfortunately, you didn’t get anything.]

!!

[Unfortunately, you didn’t get anything.]

…

He had only gained 1000 years of lifespan from the three Heavenly Cycle realm corpses.

Seeing this, although Lin Wudao was a little disappointed, he did not feel too conflicted. It was always good to be able to increase his lifespan by a thousand years.

After that, He looked at the system interface.

[Name: Lin Wudao]

[Identity: The City of Sin’s City Lord]

[Cultivation: Final stage of the Grotto-Heaven realm]

[Aptitude: Excellent]

[Cultivation Technique: Emperor’s Scripture of the Primordial Imperial Race, Disaster-Avoiding Ancient Scripture (mortal scroll)]

[Skill: Heavenly Dragon Palm (small success), So Close Yet So Far (extreme Dao realm), Heaven-Stabilizing Spell (major accomplishment), Spirit-capturing Technique (major accomplishment), Great Disguise Technique (major accomplishment), Great Soul-searching Technique (major accomplishment), …]

[Items: Origin Stone, heaven burial copper coffin, corpse map, Great Desolation Cauldron, Great Nirvana Sword Talisman, God-summoning Paper, Heaven Evasion Cloak, Mask of Heavens, Great Five Elements Sword Array.]

[Lifespan: 20,736]

[Fate Energy value: 100,916,400]

…

A lot of information appeared before his eyes.

Looking at the 10-digit Fate Energy value, Lin Wudao could not help but feel a huge sense of accomplishment.

Ever since he started collecting the corpses, he had never seen so much Fate Energy value.

“One billion Fate Energy value should be enough to knock open the fourth heavenly gate on the Path to Heaven, right?”

He calculated in his heart.

“System, how much Fate Energy value do I need to raise the Heavenly Dragon Palm to the major accomplishment stage?”

[Ten million.]

Uh… So much?

Lin Wudao could not help but take a deep breath when he heard this number.

The higher the grade of the divine power or dharma technique, the more difficult it was to cultivate, and thus the more Fate Energy value required.

If he were to rely on comprehending it himself, the time and energy required to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Palm to the major accomplishment stage would certainly be extremely terrifying.

Therefore, Lin Wudao still chose to rely on the Fate Energy value.

[Congratulations, host. You have consumed 10 million Fate Energy value and successfully cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Palm to the major accomplishment stage. You can now unleash the strength of at least 1,000 ancient heavenly dragons with one palm.]

[Combined with the Invincibility attribute of the Origin Stone, the host can suppress early-stage Heavenly Cycle realm cultivators.]

At least a thousand ancient heavenly dragons?

Lin Wudao nodded in satisfaction.

Such combat strength was already very good.

Coupled with the Great Desolation Cauldron, he wouldn’t even need to fear a perfection-stage Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouse.

“Next, I’ll just have to wait for the Mad Daoist to arrive. I wonder what place he was talking about?”

Lin Wudao was very curious.

The Mad Daoist was a lunatic. Since he said that the trip to collect corpses was very dangerous, it would surely not be a small matter.

Maybe he really dared to dig up the Li family’s ancestral grave.

However, this was just Lin Wudao’s wild imagination. As for what the “big thing” they had to pull off was, he would only know when the Mad Daoist arrived.

Thinking of this, he immediately started cultivating quietly.

…Whoosh!

Early the next morning, Lin Wudao left the Heishui Ancient City according to the route shown by the Book of All Beings and went to kill Li Chengtian.

Since he had accepted the request, he would naturally complete it.

He had taken the corpses offered by Li Heishui, so it was a given he had to help the latter and do the job well.

Broken Soul Ridge. It was located 30,000 miles east of the Heishui Ancient City and was famous for being dangerous.

Legend had it that Broken Soul Ridge was a cursed place. Ominous things were hidden within. At least half of the living beings that passed through the Broken Soul Ridge would die inside for no reason.

As time passed, this place had become a peerless place of danger.

Normally, unless one encountered an emergency, one would spend a little more time avoiding the Broken Soul Ridge so as not to be affected by the curse and become one of the dead souls inside.

However, according to the Book of All Beings, Li Chengtian’s return route this time would pass through the Broken Soul Ridge.

It was quite apparent the other party was in a hurry.

After all, today was the 800th birthday of the Li family’s old ancestor, Li Duantian. As the eldest young master of the Li family and the most outstanding prodigy, he naturally could not be absent.

...

Therefore, he had no choice.

To arrive at the Li family’s residence on time, he could only take a shortcut.

…

100,000 miles away, an ancient and majestic spiritual boat tore through the void like lightning and headed straight for the Heishui Ancient City.

Soon, they arrived at the range of the Broken Soul Ridge.

“Eldest Young Master, the Broken Soul Ridge is right in front of us. It’s a land of great danger. To be on the safe side, let’s go around it,” On the spiritual boat, a guard warned cautiously.

Everyone in Heishui Ancient City knew about the infamous Broken Soul Ridge. The thousands of corpses in it proved that it was an ominous place that contained great terror.

Those who were stubborn and still entered were basically dead.

“But if we go around the Broken Soul Ridge, it will take half a day. By the time I get to the Heishui Ancient City, I’m afraid the old ancestor’s birthday ceremony will have ended.”

Li Chengtian frowned.

He naturally knew the legend of the Broken Soul Ridge as well. Normally, he would not choose this path. However, he was in a hurry to go back and pay his respects, and crossing the Broken Soul Ridge was the shortest route.

...

For a moment, he hesitated.

“Eldest Young Master, for the sake of safety, it’s best to be careful. It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

The guard continued to persuade him.

He naturally didn’t want Li Chengtian to cross the Broken Soul Ridge. There was no need to risk their lives for that little bit of time.

“Alright then. We will not enter the Broken Soul Ridge. Instead, we will follow the edge of the place. There should not be any problems.”

After pondering for a while, Li Chengtian said.

The guard agreed.

Whoosh!

At that moment, the guard carefully steered the spiritual boat and began to fly along the edge of the Broken Soul Ridge at high speed.

However, none of them knew that a pair of eyes had long been watching their every move.

“Is he here?”

Seeing Li Chengtian arrive, Lin Wudao did not hesitate.

Whoosh!

He took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already on the spiritual boat that Li Chengtian was on.

“Who… Who are you?”

Looking at the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Chengtian was instantly shocked.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of danger and immediately tried his best to resist.

However, Lin Wudao didn’t give him that chance.

Boom.

Without any nonsense, Lin Wudao raised his hand and ruthlessly pressed down. The ferocious and peerless strength directly suppressed the other party on the spot.

Then, he twisted the other party’s neck.

“Eldest Young Master! Who are you? How dare you kill… Ah!”

At this moment, the guard, who had come back to his senses, let out a heaven-shaking roar.

However, as soon as his voice rang out, Lin Wudao’s ferocious hand went toward him. The Heavenly Dragon Palm landed and the guard was blown up.

His body turned into a blood-colored powder that filled the sky.

Lin Wudao was no longer interested in a Myth realm cultivator.

“Next, we will wait for the show to begin.”

With that, he put Li Chengtian’s body into the system space and returned to the Heishui Ancient City.

…

Bang!

In the courtyard where Li Heishui was, Lin Wudao threw Li Chengtian’s corpse at the other party’s feet.

“I’ve already finished your requests.”

“Thank you, Emissary Dongfang.”

Li Heishui bowed respectfully. His eyes were filled with surprise.

“Oh right. You’ve given me the Sage’s Shroud. Without its protection, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go into the Heishui River to retrieve corpses. Are you interested in working elsewhere?”

Suddenly, Lin Wudao seemed to have thought of something and asked Li Heishui.

Working elsewhere? What did he mean?

Li Heishui was puzzled.

“Emissary Dongfang, I wonder what you are talking about…?”

“Oh, it’s like this. I think you’re not bad. If you continue to stay in this small Heishui Ancient City, I’m afraid you won’t have much of a future. I know someone who will surely bring you a brilliant future. If you are willing to work under him, your future will be limitless. You’ve seen that person before. He’s the one who bought the corpse from you. Besides, you only have the first volume of the Ancient Fate Energy Scripture. If you can’t find the following volumes, you’ll be stuck in the Myth realm for the rest of your life. Not only can that person give you the next volume of the Ancient Fate Energy Scripture, but he can also provide you with a large amount of Fate Energy. This is much better than you robbing others. Plus, that person is a friend of mine. I can guarantee that he will not mistreat you,” Lin Wudao said calmly.

It was him?

Hearing this, Li Heishui’s heart trembled, and Lin Wudao’s face instantly appeared in his mind.

“Emissary Dongfang, can I consider?”

“Sure. Before the Path to Heaven ends, I will wait for your answer.”

After saying that, Lin Wudao disappeared.

Only Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng were left standing on the spot in a daze.
