I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 66: Deception in Formation

On the first peak, a young man was practicing swordplay on a grassy field.

Boom!

A loud noise echoed from all directions, leaving the grassy field pockmarked with craters. In the distance, there was even a deep circular hole.

"The Four Seasons Technique is indeed powerful, but it's too difficult to comprehend. If my swordsmanship reaches perfection, how could I lose to Lin Xuan?" Zhu Ming muttered softly, feeling somewhat lost.

Recalling the disastrous defeat that day, it felt like a nightmare haunting his mind, unable to be dispelled for a long time.

A few years ago, during a fierce battle, he was defeated by just one move. He was able to quickly adjust his mindset and bounce back.

However, this time, he couldn't calm down as easily as before.

Zhu Ming returned to his cave dwelling and sat at the table, pouring himself a cup of tea.

"Hmm?" He noticed that there was suddenly a book on the table out of thin air.

Curious, he opened the first page of the book.

"I have some connection with Cangwu. Upon seeing Cangwu in trouble, I specially wrote this book to give to you. This book can be passed down among the true immortals.

Remember, do not let others know of my existence. Otherwise, not to mention outsiders destroying Cangwu, I will personally deal with the true immortals of Cangwu!"

"There are three bags next to the book, which should be useful to you true immortals. If you are satisfied, prepare one thousand high-grade spirit stones within three days and place them on the table. If you are not satisfied, do not take anything out of the bags."

Zhu Ming also noticed that there were suddenly three storage bags on the table.

He opened one of them and his face turned pale with astonishment.

"A peerless treasure sword! It's even more terrifying than my own divine weapon."

The storage bag was filled with a dazzling array of weapons, all of which were above the level of spiritual treasures.

There were also many high-level elixirs and talismans that were extremely difficult to refine.

He opened the other two bags, and they were also filled with top-quality weapons, elixirs, and talismans.

"If the true immortals of Cangwu were to wield these, their strength would definitely increase by several times!" Zhu Ming's face was filled with indescribable joy.

This was truly a timely help!

He calmed down his mood and quickly turned to the next page of the book.

"Annotations on the Four Seasons Sword Technique!"

The content was a detailed explanation of the four sword techniques, from entry-level to perfection, almost like a sudden enlightenment.

"So that's how it is!" After just finishing reading the annotations for the entry-level, Zhu Ming's eyes sparkled with brilliance.

A good friend is hard to find, and a good teacher is hard to come by.

If he had obtained this book earlier, he wouldn't fear Lin Xuan at all.

Even just the annotations for the entry-level techniques were fascinating to Zhu Ming.

"I have confidence that I will master the sword technique within half a year." He closed the book, feeling a surge of confidence and determination.

"These spiritual weapons and elixirs are exactly what the true immortals of Cangwu need. However, I alone cannot come up with one thousand high-grade spirit stones. I need to discuss with the other true immortals, but I can't reveal the existence of that senior. It seems I need to come up with a good reason."

...

"Junior brother, thank you so much." Inside Chen Shen's room, Mu Xiaojin expressed his gratitude.

"I've done what I should. Now, let's see how Cangwu's fate unfolds." Chen Shen opened his eyes and nodded.

"But you only wrote the detailed explanation for the Four Seasons Sword Technique. Why not write a few more volumes in exchange for spirit stones?"

"You're silly. If I wrote more, Zhu Ming would definitely suspect something. With just this one set of sword techniques, he will think it's an ancient scripture left by the ancestors."

"But what about these treasures and elixirs? Won't Lin Xuan suspect something?"

"I have already hinted to Zhu Ming that they are part of the sect's heritage."

"After half a month of hard work, I need a few days to relax."

After saying that, Chen Shen carried Mu Xiaojin and walked towards the bed.

Three days later, Chen Shen walked out of the room and retrieved the prepared storage bags.

"Not bad, he didn't dare to be greedy." He counted the spirit stones in the storage bags.

The cost was three hundred high-grade spirit stones, not a loss.

Half a month later.

Boom!

A huge fluctuation spread.

Outside of Cangwu, hundreds of flying boats suddenly appeared.

"Ye Shuangman, I've come to kill you!" Lin Xuan stood on one of the flying boats and shouted.

"Lin Xuan! I'll meet you!" Zhu Ming stepped into the sky, followed by a group of True Immortals.

"Oh, where is your cheap master? Why isn't he coming out?"

Lin Xuan lightly exclaimed, not seeing Ye Shuangman among the True Immortals of Cangwu.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuangman's face turned extremely ugly.

He was no longer the Young Patriarch, and the authority of the Ye family was far less than before. His own status naturally declined a lot, and he was just an ordinary Foundation Building True Disciple.

In a scene like this, he no longer had the right to speak.

"It seems that you have some self-awareness. You understand that if Cangwu is controlled by this person, it will be destroyed sooner or later." Lin Xuan chuckled.

"Lin Xuan..." Ye Shuangman gritted his teeth.

"Lin Xuan, dare you fight me!" Zhu Ming challenged.

After half a month of cultivation, the power of his Four Seasons Sword Technique had increased day by day, and his overall strength had improved a lot.

However, Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "A defeated opponent is no longer of interest to me. Today, I came to kill you."

As soon as he finished speaking, several True Immortals launched a frenzied attack on the Heavenly Formation.

"I found it!" The Grandmaster beside Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, instantly finding the formation's core.

"Two Gold Core cultivators, follow me to clear the way." The Grandmaster ordered.

"Are we just going to watch them break the formation?" Cangwu True Immortal's face looked unpleasant.

"We can only do so. Although our strength has grown, we must not be careless and rush out to fight."

Outside of Cangwu.

The confident Grandmaster and two True Immortals had just entered the formation's core when a series of terrifying attacks struck in an instant.

"Not good, the formation is a trap. It's an illusion formation, I made a mistake."

A cry came, and the Grandmaster's face changed drastically.

This was not the location of the formation's core at all. It clearly concealed a huge illusion formation and several super killing formations.

Puff!

The Grandmaster was severely injured by a single blow. He no longer cared about the other two True Immortals who were desperately seeking help and hurriedly retreated.

"What's going on?" Lin Xuan's heart sank.

Last time, he easily unraveled this formation, so why did he make a mistake this time?

"I'm not sure. Cangwu definitely has a master of formations whose attainments are not inferior to mine." The Grandmaster turned his head and looked, feeling lingering fear.

Fortunately, he was a Grandmaster of formations; otherwise, he would have been like the other two True Immortals, going in but not coming out.

The Cangwu True Immortals also noticed this scene.

"What's going on? Did that Grandmaster make a mistake?"

"Last time, he entered silently, but this time, it ended like this. I estimate that the level of formation mastery is only slightly higher than mine. Last time was just luck."

"Could it be the work of that mysterious senior?"

Only Zhu Ming believed that this might be the work of the senior who had given him the detailed explanation of the sword technique.

He didn't believe that the Grandmaster beside Lin Xuan suddenly dropped in skill level and caused the deaths of two True Immortals.

It was only possible that someone had tampered with the Cangwu formation and made it even more terrifying.

And Zhu Ming felt that this was the work of that senior.

"Attack!" Lin Xuan ordered.

The Heavenly Demon and the Sea of Clouds were already under his control, and there were many True Immortals following him.

Since they couldn't break the formation, they would bombard it with firepower.

However, to his disappointment, several True Immortals, including Zhu Ming, were unable to forcefully break through the formation.

"The formation I improved is now very strong. It cannot be broken by brute force. When I recover from my injuries and become more cautious, I will be able to break the formation." The Grandmaster stepped forward and said.

But how could Lin Xuan be willing? He came with great momentum, how could he return empty-handed?

"Zhu Ming, you wanted to challenge me just now?"
