Chapter 157: Chapter 39 – Calamity of Ancestral Weapon, Ten Devil Sects (extra update)
Upon learning this information, Immortal Corpse’s breathing became much more rapid.
This contains the secret to becoming an immortal!
Who was Yan zu?
An unparalleled demon that emerged eight hundred years ago, stepping on countless Immortal Sect geniuses.
In just a hundred years, he suppressed an era and established the Yan Dynasty. It prospered for a full two hundred years. Even though it could not withstand tne erosion or lime arter live nunarea years ana Decame extinct, yan Lus greatness is undeniable.

Five hundred years ago, he was just an ordinary devil cultivator disciple of the Corpse Tomb Sect, sweeping the entrance of the sect.
He could only listen to his Senior Brothers discussing the legendary figure who suppressed both the Immortals and Devils.
Those times have passed now.
Such an unparalleled figure as Yan Zu has long since disappeared, as if he were missing.
Five hundred years later, as the sect master, he gets to hear news about the Ancestral Weapon firsthand.
At this moment, Immortal Corpse felt that he had never been so close to Yan Zu in his entire life.
Moreover, with the immortal path severed, there are fewer and fewer top cultivators in this world—one less with each death.
Half of his own lifespan had already passed as well.
The only chance for him to become immortal lies in the Yan Ancestral Weapon.
So many years have been spent stuck in the Rebirth Realm.
If he could decipher the secrets of the Ancestral Weapon, perhaps he might break through his bottleneck.
Having understood all this, Immortal Corpse was already tempted, and he calmly asked:
“Why would you come to me if you truly have information about the Ancestral Weapon?”
He was well aware that the other party would not tell him such precious information out of the blue.
The Bloody Immortal Sect must have some request.
The man in the bloody robe smiled slightly and said, “You are being too modest, Senior. Naturally, we all want the Ancestral Weapon to fall into our hands, so fighting amongst ourselves would be unwise; but other people do not think so.”
“Senior, do you know about the old fiend of Netherworld?”
Upon hearing this name, Immortal Corpse was slightly startled and said in a deep voice:
“I, of course, know about that old monster. He was cautious and never showed his face. He relied solely on a possession secret technique to seize the bodies of talented sect disciples. He killed people and snatched treasures, relying on this trick to live thousands of years. He was a true old monster and ranked first on the Immortal Sect’s hit list.”
The man in the bloody robe nodded earnestly, “That’s right, Sect Master received information recently that traces of the Netherworld Devil were found in the westernmost land. Corpses were everywhere in the surrounding villages, so he must have been heading south.”
“He must have learned about the birth of the Rightful King of the Yan and is after the Yan’s Ancestral Weapon.”
“The old fiend of Netherworld has a limited lifespan and would definitely not be able to share the Ancestral Weapon with other people. He is an inevitable opponent for us.”
Although the Devil Sect seemed as loose as the outside world described, it actually still had organization and discipline.
The Ten Devil Sects were the ten most powerful forces within the Devil Sect.
The unwritten rule was the law of the jungle, where the more powerful a devil sect, the more resources it could occupy.
Unlike the Immortal Sect, the Devil Sect once had a Supreme Being who ruled over the entire Devil Sect.
This being was known as the Devil Lord.
After the severing of the immortal path, the Devil Lord had been ruling over numerous devil cultivators.
But as his strength grew higher, the influence of the severed immortal path became greater, and the Devil Lord also began to show his face less and less. A hundred years ago, there were still occasional news of the Devil Lord.
Now, there was no news at all. Some people believed that the Devil Lord was conserving his strength and lying low.
As a result, the strength of the Devil Sect weakened considerably, giving the Immortal Sect an opportunity to dominate.
Currently, the Devil Sect is under the control of the first Devil Sect, Heavenly Devil Palace.
Immortal Corpse hesitated for a moment upon learning that the old fiend of Netherworld might be involved.
No wonder the Bloody Immortal Sect came to him, as having more people meant more strength.
The other party intended to unite several Devil Sect forces to deal with the old fiend of Netherworld.
But if they acted recklessly, they would risk perishing.
Immortal Corpse said solemnly, “Even I might not be able to defeat a formidable old monster like that.”
“Senior, you don’t need to worry about that. Many people have joined the team. As long as we work together, there is no need to fear that old monster.” The man in the bloody robe responded with a smile on his face.
The old fiend of Netherworld was just one of the obstacles in their pursuit of the Ancestral Weapon.Even more obstacles are other Devil Sects involved, such as the Poisonous Sect, and the Seven Devil Sect.
Right now, the Heavenly Devil Palace has not expressed its attitude yet, but it is impossible to confirm whether they will also interfere with this matter. Regarding the grand plan of the Path to Immortality, who can be sure?
“Could it be…”
Suddenly, Immortal Corpse seemed to understand something.
It is rumored that the Bloody Immortal Sect has an ancestor with immeasurable strength, comparable to the old fiend of Netherworld.
Could it be that the Bloody Immortal Sect Ancestor also wants to take action?
He shook his head and continued to ask, “Even if the Ancestral Weapon appears, we still need to find the location of the Rightful King of the Yan. Now that he has hidden himself and refuses to show up, what good methods do we have?”
The Rightful King of the Yan would certainly not reveal himself to the rest of the world. They still needed to use their skills to find him.
As vast as the Moratal World is, they couldn’t just search blindly like trying to find a needle in a haystack, right?
Even among the mortal world, hidden cultivators abound. If they found out, they would be in danger too.
“Have you forgotten about our sect’s Bloody Treasured Spiritual Rat?”
The man in the bloody robe smiled faintly.
“I nearly forgot!”
Immortal Corpse slapped his head, and immediately remembered.
Within the Bloody Immortal Sect, they trained the Bloody Treasured Spiritual Rats to specialize in finding spiritual objects, locating them based on their qi.
Originally, they were used to lock onto prey with high blood essence concentration, as the training of the Bloody Immortal Sect required a large amount of blood, the higher the essence concentration, the better.
Later, it also developed into a tool for treasure hunting and tracking down people.
The essence of the Yan Country’s national fortune lies within the descendants of the Yan. As long as the Yan bloodline is found and traced through essence and blood, the Rightful King of the Yan can be found!
Even if the essence and blood are diluted, it’s fine, they just need to find the general direction, and that’s enough.
Immortal Corpse was suspicious, “I remember that the Bloody Treasured Spiritual Rat is extremely precious, and only by using the essence and blood of cultivators above the Rebirth Realm could they be successfully trained.” Although this condition sounds simple, it’s actually extremely harsh.
Every cultivator in the Rebirth Realm is a hundred -year-old cunning fox. Trying to kill them is as difficult as reaching for the sky.
Even if they’re killed, their Rebirth Realm spirit could still escape.
Raising a spiritual rat is not an easy thing.
The man in the bloody robe smiled, “There is only one remaining Bloody Treasured Spiritual Rat in our Sect Master’s residence, and that’s absolutely enough.”
Immortal Corpse nodded his head, “That’s good. Everything is ready; all we lack now is the essence and blood of the Yan royal family.”
“This is too easy, after a hundred years of Yan Country’s establishment, there are many bloodline descendants scattered throughout the human world. I have already sent my disciples from the sect to search.”
The man in the bloody robe chuckled.
Immortal Corpse looked deeply at him, and couldn’t help but admire the Bloody Immortal Sect Master’s devotee’s methods.
This man in the bloody robe was Yang Yuan, the senior disciple of the Bloody Immortal Sect, leader of the Eight Blood Vessels, and a considerate, humble person. He was definitely capable of taking over the Bloody Immortal Sect. Otherwise, the matter of forming an alliance with the Devil Sects wouldn’t have been entrusted to him.
“How many people have been mobilized this time for the Ancestral Weapon?” Immortal Corpse asked.
The senior disciple of the Bloody Immortal Sect, Yang Yuan, stretched out two fingers.
“So many?”
Immortal Corpse looked astonished.
This number was definitely over a hundred.
“When a lion fights a rabbit, it still uses its full strength,
Yang Yuan said slowly.
“The Rightful King of the Yan is not a helpless mortal, nor a rabbit. There must be a large number of Immortal Sect people guarding him.” Immortal Corpse nodded in agreement and asked again, “When are we setting off?”
“We will leave now. Let’s take a trip to the Mortal World.”
