Li Mu knew a lot about refining corpses.
It was no exaggeration to say that no one in this world knew more about refining corpses than he did.
Other than being cunning and cautious, Qian Huan also had another identity. He was the First Elder of the Demonic Dao's Corpse Sect. Refining corpses was the Corpse Sect's ability to make a living. Who in the Ten Continents and Three Islands knew more about refining corpses than the First Elder of the Corpse Sect?
The Corpse Sect had always had a special status in the Demonic Dao.
Even those in the Demonic Dao usually stayed away from the Corpse Sect out of respect.
Their strength was ranked at the top of the Ten Sects. After all, when fighting with the Corpse Sect, one had to be careful not only of the Corpse Sect themselves, but also of their corpses. Some Corpse Sect madmen refined corpses that were even stronger than themselves.
Other than spending all day with corpses, the Corpse Sect disciples' favorite thing to do was to dig graves.
They especially liked to rob the graves of experts. After stealing the corpses, they would use secret techniques to refine them into powerful zombies and turn them into their own corpse puppets.
For the opening of the Demon Emperor's cave this time, if not for the fact that the Corpse Sect was too far away and could not make it in time, all the experts in their sect would have come out in full force.
It could be said that the Corpse Sect's ability to refine corpses was the best in the Ten Continents.
Other than those techniques that had been lost in inheritance, as time passed, all kinds of techniques were constantly improving and perfecting.
The corpse refining techniques of 3,000 years ago were naturally incomparable to those of today.
If the Ninth Realm White Emperor 3,000 years ago had Qian Huan's experience in refining corpses and used some special techniques to refine his own corpses, then the newly awakened demon corpses in the White Emperor's cave would have at least been at the Seventh Realm, if not the Eighth Realm. Including Li Mu, everyone who entered the cave would have died.
Li Mu had just obtained the White Emperor's memories and only found the method to control the cave. He did not have time to go through all of it.
At this moment, he focused on searching and quickly found out the origins of these ten demon corpses.
These ten corpses were the Ten Great Demon Generals under the White Emperor. Before the White Emperor died, he buried all the Demon Generals and Demon Soldiers under him with him.
Those demon soldiers would be the first to wake up when an outsider entered the cave abode. They would drain the intruder's spiritual power and weaken their strength. At the same time, they would provide the White Emperor Demonic Corpse with food for the awakened White Emperor Demonic Corpse. They would also prevent intruders with full spiritual power from causing trouble for the awakened White Emperor Demonic Corpse.
As for the awakening of the Ten Great Demon Generals, they would also need to consume a large amount of blood. In order to prevent them from competing with his own demon corpses for blood and affecting his resurrection, Emperor Bai chose to seal the Demon Generals. He planned to awaken them after his own resurrection. This way, the former Demon Generals would be able to serve him again.
Of course, he didn't expect that Li Mu would use his glib tongue to cause a zombie that had just gained consciousness to suffer from schizophrenia. In the end, he forced out his memories, tore apart space, and escaped. He decided to live for himself in the future …
Thus, the ten great demon generals under his command were given to Li Mu.
From the White Emperor's memories, eight of the Ten Great Demon Generals were Level-7 Spirit Demons, and two were Level-8 Xuan Demons. Level-8 Xuan Demons, regardless of whether they were humans or demons, were all super strong cultivators that dominated the continent. Three thousand years ago, they were just buried with someone else …
Li Mu was shocked. Zhou Yi saw through his thoughts and explained, "Three thousand years ago, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was much denser than it is now. It was also easier to give birth to strong cultivators. Back then, there were many Level-9 Humans and Demons …"
In reality, after digesting part of the White Emperor's memories, Li Mu also realized that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth today was much, much thinner than it was three thousand years ago.
Based on this phenomenon, it wasn't hard to guess how dense the spiritual energy was six thousand years ago, nine thousand years ago, ten thousand years ago, or even in the previous epoch. It was no wonder that the number of strong cultivators was decreasing over the years even though cultivation techniques were improving. Perhaps in a few thousand years, it would be very difficult for cultivators on this continent to even advance to the middle three realms …
However, all this had nothing to do with the present.
Li Mu temporarily stored the ten corpses in the Demon Emperor Palace. There was nothing in this dead space, so there was no possibility of them turning into corpses for the time being.
Using blood to make the corpses develop consciousness was the lowest level of corpse refining method. If he used all kinds of treasures, supplemented by the Corpse Nurturing Formation, and refined using the Corpse Sect's secret techniques, the White Emperor Demon Corpse's power would be much more than that when it awoke.
However, refining them into demon corpses required a lot of preparation. Li Mu couldn't gather all the materials at the moment, so he needed to plan at length.
His main task now was to remodel the Demon Emperor's cave abode.
In the past three thousand years, the ownerless Demon Emperor's cave abode was completely isolated from the outside world.
This was the reason for the dead silence in this space.
The first thing Li Mu had to do was to reconnect the cave abode with the outside world, allowing the spiritual energy and the power of heaven and earth from the outside world to gush in. This was the first step to restoring life to the Demon Emperor's cave abode.
Li Mu's second step was to tear down the Demon Emperor Palace and the square in front of the palace. This huge building stood there alone, like a huge tomb. And that was originally the White Emperor's tomb. Li Mu felt that it was inauspicious, so he quickly razed it to the ground.
In addition, he also opened up a small lake in the cave abode, drawing in running water from the Bay of Clearwater, and brought in the fish and prawns in the water.
While he was at it, he also moved Su He's small house by the water into the cave abode.
The Empress was very happy to plant flowers and grass. She bought flower seeds from outside, and planted a huge garden by the lake. With a wave of her sleeve, the lifeless ground became green like a cushion. She also used the leftover peach pits from the two of them to grow a peach forest in the distance. The saplings quickly broke through the ground, grew rapidly, and bloomed white and red flowers …
The cave abode looked brand new, but it still lacked some life.
Thus, Li Mu caught some birds and a few rabbits from the forest. The grass had a few more white embellishments, the water was filled with fish and prawns, and the forest was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The sky was empty, so he pinched a few white clouds and floated in the sky.
Zhou Yi looked at the clouds in the sky in the shape of various animals. She glanced at Li Mu and said, "Childish …"
Looking at the small space that the two of them had opened up together, Li Mu felt a sense of accomplishment.
However, for the people of the North County, there were too many strange things happening around them these few days.
First, the water level of the Gulf of Clear Water had inexplicably dropped by half. Then, the number of mountains in the vicinity had also decreased. The originally lush forest on the mountain had become barren overnight, as if someone had dug it out from the roots …
Some people reported this strange matter to the government. After the government sent people to investigate, they couldn't find anything. In the end, they could only leave it as it was.
Inside the Heavenly Flask Cave Abode, Li Mu lay on the grass beside the lake. He looked at the few wooden houses by the lake and felt the breeze from the lake. His entire person fell into an ethereal state.
This originally dead cave abode had been turned into a paradise by him and the Empress. In the future, there would be no need to find another place. In this place, isolated from the rest of the world, he could cultivate in peace. When he was lonely, he could leave the cave abode and travel the world. Wasn't this beautiful?
Zhou Yi stood by the lake. The breeze moved the hair in front of her forehead. She reached out and combed a few strands of hair. She asked, "How many people do you have in your family? Why did you build so many houses here?"
Li Mu said, "I built a few more. Sooner or later, I will need them. Even if I don't live in them myself, it will be easy to arrange if a guest comes. Your Majesty, do you want to pick one? In the future, if Your Majesty is bored in the palace, you can come visit me."
Zhou Yi didn't stand on ceremony with Li Mu. She pointed at the house closest to the flower bed and said, "I want this one."
The Empress was already adding furniture to her house. Dao Zhong was chasing birds in the forest. Li Mu sat cross-legged on the grass. He stretched out his hand, and a simple page floated in his hand.
This was the ultimate goal of everyone who entered the Demon Emperor's cave abode. Taoism called it the Dao Page, and the Demon Race called it the Heavenly Book.
Three thousand years ago, the White Emperor passed down the Demon Race's orthodoxy through this page of the Heavenly Book.
Li Mu closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the page. In the next moment, he came to a white world.
This wasn't the first time he had experienced this. Li Mu closed his eyes and began to recite the Clear Heart Chant.
He didn't know how many times he recited it. When he opened his eyes again, the white fog in front of him had disappeared.
His body was in a strange space. Li Mu sat cross-legged on the ground. The sky was filled with all kinds of huge figures. However, they weren't the monsters that Li Mu had seen in the pages of the Fu-lu School.
The figures above his head were all monsters that Li Mu was familiar with.
There were giant snakes that were thousands of feet long, giant bears that were hundreds of feet tall, giant wolves, and so on. There were more than a hundred types of monsters. Each of them exuded an incomparably powerful aura.
Li Mu looked around. He didn't see the monsters that he had seen before.
Finally, he looked at a giant snake. In an instant, his vision blurred. He suddenly found himself floating in the air. He looked down and saw the body of a giant snake twisting and turning below.
He himself had actually turned into that giant snake.
At the same time, some information suddenly appeared in Li Mu's mind.
Li Mu quickly realized that this was … the cultivation method of the Snake Clan?
Monsters were different from humans. Their monster body structures were different. Although they could cultivate by inhaling and exhaling Spirit Qi, each race had their own cultivation method that was most suitable for them.
If they cultivated using a cultivation method that was suitable for them, they could achieve twice the results with half the effort. They could also unleash their full strength.
However, before Li Mu had time to experience it, the giant snake let out a roar and flew up into the sky.
At this moment, although Li Mu had the vision of the giant snake, he couldn't control its body.
He could only continue to rise with the giant snake, as if he wanted to fly with the snake into the sky.
However, the higher the snake flew, the greater the resistance it encountered. Finally, it was suspended somewhere in the void, unable to take another step.
Bang!
The giant snake's body coiled up. It slammed its head into the sky, but it quickly fell back down.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It slammed into the sky again and again, falling down again and again. Its head was broken and bleeding, but it still didn't look back.
Boom!
When it slammed into the sky for the last time, it burned out all the monster power in its body. Its body exploded into a mass of flesh and blood. At the same time, Li Mu's consciousness rapidly fell …
As if he had fallen in his sleep, Li Mu's body twitched on the grass in the White Emperor Cave. He suddenly opened his eyes. His forehead was full of sweat, and he was panting heavily.
