The Corpse Cultivating Valley was a place used by the Battle Corpse Sect to cultivate Battle Corpses. However, the Battle Corpses here were of a higher level than the Battle Corpses in Gu Ding's forest. The Battle Corpses here were all powerful Battle Corpses.
The Battle Corpse Sect's Battle Corpses were generally divided into two categories. One was zombie-type while the other was mummified corpses. Although they looked the same, it was different for the Battle Corpse Sect's members. They were all zombie-type, but their paths were different.
The zombie-type Battle Corpses started out as zombies. These zombies looked like people who had just died, but their bodies were stiff. When their joints were bent, it was very strenuous to move. They could only jump forward, so they were called Jumping Corpses. Gradually, white hair would grow on their bodies, and they were called Hairy Corpses. Above the white hair was green hair, followed by red hair, followed by yellow hair, orange hair, purple hair, black hair, and so on. After the black hair, the Battle Corpse would shed all the hair on its body and regain its human form. These were called Living Corpses. These Living Corpses were comparable to the Void Refinement Realm and Dao Integration Realm cultivators of the human race. They were the highest level of Battle Corpses.
The development path of Dried Corpses was similar to that of Zombies. They started out as Jumping Corpses, but instead of growing hair, their flesh and blood would disappear. Their skin would slowly turn into a metallic color. After Jumping Corpses, their bodies would dry up and their skin would turn yellow. These were Wood Corpses. After that, their skin would turn grey, and they would be Lead Corpses. Their grey skin would flash with silver light, and they would be Iron Corpses. After that, their skin would turn green, and they would be Iron Corpses. Their skin would turn bronze, and they would be Copper Corpses. Finally, their skin would turn silver, and they would be Silver Corpses. Finally, they would be Golden Corpses. When they reached Golden Corpses, they would have no flesh and blood on their bodies.
Under the skin of their bodies, they would be Living Corpses. The disciples of the Battle Corpse Sect usually used these two types of Battle Corpses. If there were any differences between these two types of Battle Corpses, the Hairy Corpses might be more agile and powerful, while the Dried Corpses had stronger defensive capabilities.
The places that the Battle Corpse Sect used to nurture corpses were all places with dense Yin Qi. This allowed the battle corpses to grow naturally in such places, absorbing Yin Qi and becoming stronger and stronger.
As for the disciples of the Battle Corpse Sect, when they reach the Spirit Realm, they would come to the back mountain and choose a Battle Corpse to refine. In the Battle Corpse Sect, only Jumping Corpses would appear. At best, there would be Wood Corpses or Fur Corpses. Higher level Battle Corpses wouldn't appear. This was because in order to upgrade the Battle Corpse Sect's Battle Corpses, they would need to refine the Battle Corpse Sect's Blood Qi. All of these required investment. The Battle Corpse Sect wouldn't turn all of their Battle Corpses into high level Battle Corpses. Otherwise, the disciples wouldn't be able to use them.
Because of this, the Battle Corpse Sect would nurture Battle Corpses into Wood Corpses or Hair Corpses and have the disciples collect them. This way, the disciples would work hard to cultivate and do missions for the Battle Corpses. At the same time, because the Battle Corpses were refined, they would have a telepathic connection with the Battle Corpses. The Battle Corpses would listen to their commands and become stronger.
The forest that Gu Ding and the others were in was a place to cultivate low-level Battle Corpses. Most of them were Jumping Corpses. However, these Jumping Corpses had been treated by the Battle Corpse Sect with a secret technique. Therefore, they wouldn't jump and walk like humans. Although they still looked stiff, this was the result of many years of development of the Battle Corpse Sect.
In this valley, the Battle Corpse Sect nurtured Hair Corpses and Wood Corpses. If the Battle Corpse Sect's disciples wanted to obtain Battle Corpses, they would come to this valley to do so.
As for how these Battle Corpses came about, it was very simple. These Battle Corpses were ordinary people when they were alive. They didn't have the ability to cultivate and they were born in the Battle Corpse Sect's territory. The Battle Corpse Sect was cruel to their own disciples, let alone ordinary people. They would kill ordinary people from time to time and bury them in the back mountain. After a long time, these ordinary people would be affected by the yin qi in the back mountain and turn into Zombies.
As long as they turned into Zombies, the Battle Corpse Sect would use ordinary materials to refine them. This would make their joints more flexible. This way, the Battle Corpse Sect wouldn't be able to jump and walk like before. Moreover, when these Battle Corpses become Hair Corpses or Wood Corpses, their bodies would become more flexible and their fighting strength would increase. This was also a method that the Battle Corpse Sect used to increase the fighting strength of their disciples.
The Battle Corpse Sect placed more importance on the Corpse Nourishing Valley than the forest. Therefore, there were ten disciples guarding the Corpse Nourishing Valley, unlike the forest where there was only one person guarding it.
However, because it was currently dark, the disciples guarding the Corpse Cultivating Valley didn't enter the valley. The Battle Corpses were all outside absorbing yin qi. This was because the yin qi at night was denser, which was more beneficial for the Battle Corpses. However, for the Battle Corpse Sect's disciples, having too much yin qi at night wasn't a good thing. After all, they were made of flesh and blood, so their bodies contained Yang qi. If the Battle Corpses discovered the Yang qi in their bodies, they might go crazy. Because of this, the Battle Corpse Sect's disciples would hide in their cave residences during the night and wait until dawn to check on the Battle Corpses.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the Corpse Cultivation Valley. The figure's appearance didn't trigger any reaction from the battle corpses, as they continued to absorb the Yin Qi.
The Battle Corpses absorbing yin qi was different from people meditating. They would usually lie down or stand up. Therefore, in this valley, one could see countless figures standing or lying down. The situation was very strange.
However, the person who entered the valley just calmly glanced at the Battle Corpses. Then, he began to form a formation in his hand and imprinted it on the Battle Corpses. The Battle Corpses didn't seem to feel anything and continued to absorb yin qi.
The blood-red moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds. However, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, revealing a trace of blood-red moonlight. With the help of this blood-red moonlight, one could finally see the person who entered the valley.
It wasn't a person at all, but a skeleton. It was Gu Ding. No wonder the Battle Corpses in the valley didn't attack him. They already regarded him as one of their kind.
This was also Gu Ding's plan. For a sect like the Battle Corpse Sect, there would be disciples entering the Corpse Cultivating Valley almost every day to search for Battle Corpses. The formation he placed in the Battle Corpses didn't affect them at all. Only when the Battle Corpses fought against him did he need to activate the formation to immediately seize control of the Battle Corpses. At that time, the Battle Corpses would listen to him.
In the entire Battle Corpse Sect, there were a lot of Battle Corpses like this. If he could really control these Battle Corpses one day, then he could come up with a Corpse Sea Tactic.
Although Gu Ding was currently hiding in the back mountain of the Battle Corpse Sect, he wasn't doing nothing. Controlling these Battle Corpses was one of the things he needed to do.
It had been ten days since Gu Ding and Jiang Yu returned to the back mountain of the Battle Corpse Sect. During these ten days, Jiang Yu had been cultivating. On the other hand, Gu Ding used the night to run to the back mountain and imprint his own formation on the Battle Corpses as much as possible.
Gu Ding didn't let Jiang Yu go out to inquire for information. Now was the time when the situation was the most tense. If Jiang Yu was really discovered, then they would be in danger. It was very likely that they would be discovered by the Battle Corpse Sect. That would be even more troublesome.
Gu Ding busied himself for a few hours before imprinting all the Battle Corpses in the valley into the formation. Then he left the valley and returned to the tomb. In the tomb, Jiang Yu was resting. Gu Ding also rested for a while. After all, imprinting so many formations consumed a lot of his energy.
The next morning, when Gu Ding woke up, he discovered that Jiang Yu had already started cultivating. Jiang Yu was now cultivating Body Cultivation. Therefore, he couldn't just meditate like before. He had a lot of things to do. Therefore, his cultivation was very loud.
Gu Ding slowly stood up. When Jiang Yu saw Gu Ding, he immediately stopped. Then he bowed to Gu Ding and said, "Master, I want to go out and inquire about some information."
Gu Ding stared, then he shook his head and said, "No, if you go out and inquire about information, you'll be easily discovered. That's too dangerous. It's better if you don't go out."
Jiang Yu immediately replied, "Master, since we're trapped here, we can't receive any information. This is very dangerous. I've lived in the Battle Corpse Sect for many years, so I have a good understanding of the sect. I can go to the Battle Corpse Sect and ask for information. I'm sure that the Battle Corpse Sect wouldn't expect us to be here, so they won't be on guard against us. This way, we won't have any problems getting information. Master can rest assured."
Master, please rest assured. "Hearing Jiang Yu, Gu Ding thought for a moment before he nodded and said," Alright, but you have to change your appearance. I'm afraid that everyone in the Battle Corpse Sect will recognize you. If you go out like this, it'll be too dangerous. There's a formation here. As long as you activate it, you'll be able to change your appearance and go out and inquire about information. "
Jiang Yu nodded. Then he took the formation that Gu Ding gave him and left the tomb. He slowly sneaked towards the Battle Corpse Sect. At the same time, he opened the transformation formation. While opening the formation, Jiang Yu used a water mirror to see what he looked like. But what surprised him was that he didn't have any facial features. He looked like a blank slate, which made him look very miserable.
Jiang Yu's mind moved. He immediately understood that he had to rely on his Divine Sense to think about his facial features. He immediately used his Divine Sense to change his appearance into an ordinary one. Then he headed towards the Battle Corpse Sect.
