I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 23: Completing the Four Seasons Sword, Obtaining the Qing Emperor's Manual

For the first time, Chen Shen surpassed the inner and outer disciples in terms of rank.

What kind of rank? Of course, it was participating in the funeral of an important figure.

At the funeral, the Supreme Sect Master delivered a mournful speech, and members of the Ye family covered their faces and mourned.

The entire process took more than an hour before Ye Qiu Xian was finally buried.

Paper money floated in the air, suona horns played loudly, and firecrackers resounded.

Finally, it came to the last process, which was also the part that Chen Shen had been looking forward to the most.

"The eldest son of the Ye family, the 20th generation Supreme Sect Master of the Cangwu Immortal Sect, Ye Chen, please tidy up your clothes, offer incense, and fill the soil." A steward read from a book.

Originally, the Cangwu Immortal Sect did not have this process. In the past, when a Gold Core True Immortal was buried, the disciples would just fill the soil after the previous formalities were completed, and then disperse.

But Ye Qiu Xian's status in the Cangwu Immortal Sect was too high, or rather, he was the most esteemed person in the eyes of the Ye family.

So Ye Chen personally arranged the process and added this step at the end, allowing all the True Transmission and above figures to offer incense and fill the soil for Ye Qiu Xian.

"The 18th generation eldest son of the Ye family, an elder of the Cangwu Immortal Sect, Ye Yan, please tidy up your clothes, offer incense, and fill the soil!"

"..."

"The 21st generation eldest son of the Ye family, a True Transmission disciple of the Cangwu Immortal Sect, Ye Shuangman, please tidy up your clothes, offer incense, and fill the soil."

"The first peak elder of the Cangwu Immortal Sect, Li Xiaoyu, please offer incense and fill the soil."

After all the members of the Ye family offered incense, it was the turn of the other Gold Core elders and Foundation Building True Transmission disciples, in order of their status and strength.

During this period, the steward who presided over the ceremony also read his own name and tidied up his clothes, offered incense, and filled the soil.

After a long time.

Chen Shen saw the spotless Lin Shujin be the first to offer incense among the True Transmission disciples.

Then, one by one, the True Transmission disciples offered incense, and Chen Shen heard his own name from the steward's mouth.

This was probably the greatest honor for a corpse collector. Chen Shen naturally felt honored. If possible, he would be willing to collect corpses and fill soil for important figures every day, without any salary.

But Lu Changqing was depressed because he wasn't the second to last, but the first?

Why? Ye Chen pressed the buzzer. Chen Shen was the proper corpse collector, while Lu Changqing was sent as a punishment and was not considered an official employee.

Very well.

The team formed two columns, making way for Chen Shen in the middle, leaving a path that was half a person wide.

He walked from the end, with his head held high and a serious expression, and offered incense to Ye Qiu Xian.

Clang!

However, when filling the soil, the shovel in his hand almost slipped.

Because the reward given by the system was too shocking for him.

Chen Shen barely maintained his composure, put down the shovel, and when he returned, he couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Lu Changqing quickly supported his companion, who almost fell.

"I'm fine."

"What do you mean you're fine? Your hands are shaking so much."

Lu Changqing looked at Chen Shen's trembling arm with concern, but before he could think too much, he was called by his name.

He quickly tidied up his clothes, raised his head, and walked past Lin Shujin, elegantly flicking his robe.

On the other side, Chen Shen was gasping heavily and his body was still trembling.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after Lu Changqing finished the ceremony.

On the way back, Lu Changqing saw that Chen Shen had nothing to do, so he jogged and followed closely beside Lin Shujin, maintaining just the right distance.

Chen Shen didn't have time to tease him about his infatuation and began to calm down and count his gains.

[Obtained Secret Technique: Four Seasons Sword Art (Spring, Summer, Autumn Great Completion, Winter Perfection) Six Paths Sword (Great Completion) Qing Emperor's Manual]

[Obtained Gold Core Nine Layers Immortal Dao Experience, Obtained Partial Spiritual Roots]

First of all, he confirmed one thing, which was that the Four Seasons Sword Art should be the strongest sword art of the Cangwu Immortal Sect and ranked first among all the techniques.

As Ye Qiuxian's identity, there was no Divine Ability that he couldn't learn, but ironically, the other powerful Divine Abilities could only reach Great Completion at most, while only this sword art had achieved Perfection in the Winter section.

Obviously, it wasn't because this person loved sword arts, but rather because the Four Seasons Sword Art was too strong.

After five hundred years of cultivation, Chen Shen didn't believe that this Gold Core True Immortal couldn't achieve Perfection in any Divine Ability. The only explanation was that the Four Seasons Sword Art was incredibly powerful.

It was indeed strong, but based on Ye Qiuxian's experience, this sword art was extremely difficult to cultivate. It took him five hundred years just to cultivate one section of the sword art to Perfection.

And this was just the beginning. As the name implied, the Four Seasons Sword Art required all four sections to be cultivated to Perfection and then integrated into a stronger new sword move in order to be called the Four Seasons Sword Art.

Next was the Six Paths Sword, a highly powerful sword art. Its power was not as great as the Four Seasons Sword Art, but it was still formidable, ranking in the top ten among the Divine Abilities of the Cangwu Immortal Sect.

As for other Divine Abilities, they could only gather dust in Chen Shen's mind.

Finally, he looked at the team ahead and noticed that he was a bit far from them, so he quickly ran up and discreetly followed behind the group of true disciples.

Realizing that no one paid attention to him, Lu Changqing cautiously stole glances at Lin Shujin but didn't have the time to bother with him.

Chen Shen's attention was focused on the articles formed by the characters in his mind.

In the language of this world, they were indeed characters, but in Chen Shen's eyes, these seemingly strange characters were unforgettable for his entire life.

This was also the reason why he was shocked before. A certain language from his previous life's world actually appeared in the cultivation world.

With doubts, Chen Shen began to browse through the character memories.

The beginning was - Qingdi manual!

Combining his vocabulary from his previous life and the terms of the cultivation world, the meaning was very clear.

Qing Emperor's Manual!

It could also be Qing Emperor, love rival. But Chen Shen still believed that this referred to the Qing Emperor of the Eternal Blue Sky Lotus!

He continued reading.

"When you read this book, it means that I am already dead."

"You must be very puzzled as to why. Sorry, even I don't know, but obviously, I am a traveler just like you."

Here, I'll make a guess. If you can obtain this scroll of mine, it means that you are at least an Immortal King, indicating that time has left no trace on you. It means that you have experienced countless ages. So, I think you don't need to worry about the reason you came here. How does a hundred years of life in that world compare to this vast and magnificent world?"

You're talking nonsense. I've only been here for a little over two years, Chen Shen retorted in his heart.

But he learned about the subsequent supreme realm, which should not be something like the Great Luo Heavenly Dao.

He continued reading.

"Young man, just kidding, how could you become an Immortal King? I guess you obtained my inheritance as soon as you were reborn, or at the latest, you obtained my Imperial Law on the second or third day. When I traveled through, I obtained the Immortal Emperor's inheritance technique within an hour. I guess you also obtained it in a similar time frame."

Chen Shen.

Bullshit, I've been here for over two years and I'm still just a corpse collector, living in constant fear.

"Here, let me introduce myself first. I was born only eighteen years ago, and one era is one year!"

"Hey, bro, you must be mocking me, thinking that I'm very juvenile. Well, this is another joke, but my title is even more juvenile and domineering than this.

I am revered as the Qing Emperor after surviving a hundred eras.
