Chapter 190: Unexpected Joy

path leading further inside. They didn't dare to wander aimlessly in such an unfamiliar place. They huddled behind the stone door, patiently waiting for Dong Yangbo and Chen Yan.At the start, there w...As "White Cloud Mountain Man" was changing more and more, looking almost like a zombie, Qin Sang suddenly stopped and interrupted the Corpse Refining Secret Technique.

His gaze shifted, landing on the corpse puppet bag. With a flick of his palm, he gathered the gray-white aura where the demonic souls were concentrated in his hand. His divine sense moved slightly, drawing out a single demonic soul from within.

The demonic soul writhed in Qin Sang's hands, sometimes transforming into a fish shape. It was the soul of a fish demon.

Qin Sang hunted only low-level demonic creatures, those who had not yet opened their spiritual intelligence. Their demon souls offered little resistance, so they wouldn't cause trouble when he used the Corpse Refining Secret Art. However, this meant he needed more demon souls and it took longer to refine them. This was Qin Sang's first time refining a corpse, so he chose to be cautious.

The next step is the second stage of refining a corpse. There's no need for prolonged exposure to Yin energy to nourish the corpse; instead, these souls are directly refined and infused into the body of the refining corpse, forcibly granting it spirituality.

Qin Sang restrained the demon soul, then made a hand seal. But this time, the restriction was very different from before. As the restriction took shape, the demon soul gradually became enveloped by it, and finally completely dissipated, merging with the restriction as one.

Qin Sang flicked his finger, and a transparent barrier floated in front of him. A faint gray-white aura drifted within it.

I didn't expect to succeed on the first try.

Then, Qin Sang immediately captured another demon soul and continued the previous process. Unexpectedly, before the prohibition could take shape, the demon soul suddenly shattered.

Qin Sang frowned, then waved her hand dismissively, scattering the shattered demon soul. She summoned another one.

Not every attempt is successful, but luckily Qin Sang's divine sense is not weak. As he becomes more familiar with the secret technique, the success rate can be controlled at around 70%, which is quite efficient.

In the grotto, Qin Sang focused intently on refining the restrictions, oblivious to the passage of time. After an unknown amount of time, most of the gray-white qi had been consumed, and countless tiny restrictions floated before him.

Finally, the last restriction was complete. Qin Sang clenched his palm suddenly, and these restrictions condensed abruptly, becoming somewhat chaotic at first, but soon they gathered in an orderly manner, floating in mid-air, forming a phantom 'human-shaped restriction'.

The next step is to split a wisp of the soul and, according to the secret method in the , forge a soul imprint that controls the corpse. This imprint will be fused with the restriction and together they will be engraved onto the corpse.

After the refining process is successful, one can subdue the refined corpse through a soul mark and manipulate it to fight enemies.

Splitting the soul would damage the primordial spirit, but it would only take a few days of quiet meditation to recover. Qin Sang had long since adapted to the sword qi devouring his god, this pain was nothing, and soon he split a strand of his divine soul from his primordial spirit, grasping time to condense the divine soul imprint.

After the divine soul imprint had successfully condensed, Qin Sang embedded it into the 'human form' restriction in front of him, and then engraved it into the body of the 'Bai Yun Shan Ren'.

With the banishment integrated, 'The Man from Baiyun Mountain' had new changes. His tightly closed eyes opened at some point, his pupils were black as ink, without whites, and his eyeballs moved, quite lively.

Deep, fathomless pupils fixed intently ahead, radiating hatred for all living things and a burning thirst for carnage. A truly monstrous presence.

At this time, he had completely turned into a zombie!

Qin Sang put the remaining demon souls into the Corpse Puppet Bag, his eyes turned to 'Baiyunshanren', hesitated for a moment, and issued an order for it to move.

'Baiyunshanren' was unusually obedient. Qin Sang told him to go left, he went left, told him to turn right, he turned without hesitation, with not a hint of struggle or resistance.

'Pff!'

'Baiyunshanren' scraped a piece of rubble from the wall with one claw and, under Qin Sang's orders, handed it over. He stood obediently before Qin Sang, motionless.

Qin Sang's expression became increasingly astonished, because this was completely different from the description in "The Scripture of Heavenly Yin Corpse."

>

The Heavenly Yin Corpse Scripture warns against refining corpses, stating that when a corpse is first refined, its spirit is nascent and will instinctively resist control, even attacking its controller.

At this time, the necromancer must quickly solidify the soul mark on the corpse and subdue it. Before gaining complete control, they must be wary of being ambushed by the corpse.

Though it’s not uncommon for someone to be killed by a corpse they were trying to reanimate.

Qin Sang wasn't afraid of ordinary zombies, but he was still going to subdue the corpse according to plan. Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, 'Baiyunshan Ren' was surprisingly obedient and didn't resist at all.

This surprised Qin Sang greatly, and at the same time, he pondered the reason.

The Heaven's Shadow Corpse Scripture is the Tianchi Sect's ancestral secret art, having been verified countless times with a minimal chance of error.

The secret scripture states plainly that a corpse's resistance to its controller stems from instinct and is not affected by the controller's cultivation level. At best, someone with high cultivation can only achieve momentary suppression of the corpse.

But here something unexpected happened...

Besides the jade Buddha, Qin Sang didn't feel that she was any different from others.

The Soul Mark is a strand split from the Yuanshen. Could it inherit the abilities of the Jade Buddha just like the main Yuanshen body, remaining unshakeable

Anyone, anything, once controlled by oneself, is powerless to resist and can only submit to enslavement.

Qin Sang's eyes suddenly lit up, his heart suddenly burning with passion, as if a path to heaven lay before him!

You should know that in the cultivation world, there are not only corpse refining techniques. The Spirit Controlling Sect has methods to control demonic beasts, and the Demon Sect even has sinister techniques that directly enslave humans and control cultivators.

With the mystique of the Jade Buddha, if one were to find a similar secret method and take the path of subjugation, controlling a Golden Core cultivator, wouldn't elixir, magical artifacts, and techniques be readily available

No!

Qin Sang's face had just lit up with excitement, then it vanished abruptly.

He carefully observed the soul mark, finding that it did indeed have a layer of yellow light, but it was extremely faint. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to notice it at all. Moreover, this faint glow didn't possess the indestructible nature of the jade Buddha itself.

Seeing this, Qin Sang seemed thoughtful.

The strength of the soul imprint is estimated to be limited. 'Baiyunshanren' was just recently transformed into a zombie and hadn't yet drawn in evil qi, so his strength was probably only equivalent to that of a Qi Refining cultivator. That's why he had no power to resist at all.

According to Qin Sang's understanding, the Beast Taming Technique of Yulingzong states that the strength of a demon beast cannot exceed that of its master by too much, otherwise the demon beast will backlash against the master.

While the upper limit of the Soul Mark is yet to be determined, it's definitely superior to others. Qin Sang is still very confident in the abilities of the Jade Buddha.

Moreover, Qin Sang couldn't help but recall a scene from when he was at the Tian Shi Zong branch. He tried to forcibly subdue the living corpse using a secret technique, but failed. This showed that the Jade Buddha could indeed enhance the intensity of the soul imprint, but the prerequisite was to be able to control the other party and imprint the soul mark on them, which was precisely the most difficult step.

Although it wasn't as amazing as I expected, it was still a pleasant surprise.
