Chapter 186: Dried Corpse Inciden (1/2)

Despite their complaints, they had no ability to change their situation. The only thing they could do was to quickly finish up their task and find some time to wholeheartedly cultivate themselves.

It did not take long for another month to pass. This night, Chen Feng finally managed to establish a link with Celestial Fate. An alien energy came from the vast, starry sky into Chen Feng’s Celestial Fate acupoint.

Pa!

Chen Feng heard a snapping sound. His Celestial Fate acupoint had opened and a tidal-wave like power poured into his forehead.

Following the opening of the Celestial Fate acupoint, both his Celestial Yang and Celestial Metropolis acupoints too, linked up with the two corresponding stars.

Chen Feng was quietly seated atop the mountain peak. Three faint columns of light descended from the sky to connect with the three acupoints on his forehead.

At that very moment, Chen Feng was linking up with three ancient and mysterious stars at the same time, truly entering the Tristar Crown realm.

Wave after wave of profound auras kept washing over Chen Feng’s mind. He felt as though his soul had moved into the starry sky itself. Feeling the endless stars there, Chen Feng was once again visited by the feeling of insignificance.

Not good. If this keeps up, inner demons will certainly emerge. Chen Feng considered.

Devour, absorb, open, tolerate. Words kept appearing within Chen Feng’s mind as he constantly attempted to change his state of mind.

Weng!

Suddenly, all the power of stars moved, surging into Chen Feng’s body.

“Humph!”

Chen Feng grunted and an intense tremor ran through his entire body. Earlier, with just a thought, he had unexpectedly absorbed the other power of stars into his body. As such, the power of stars he absorbed became somewhat varied. More shockingly, a nearby pile of Starlight Stones had, under the influence of his actions, begun to radiate a vast amount of power of stars. And thus, the power of stars from both the sky and the ground was absorbed into Chen Feng’s body.

It was then that Chen Feng recalled how the Longevity Scripture’s cultivation method had absorbed the essence of the surrounding trees and vegetation back then. He involuntarily expressed his admiration for the overbearing might of the Longevity Scripture.

With considerable difficulty, he finally suppressed the chaotic streams of energy within his body. Then, dawn arrived.

With a wave of his hand, three pieces of stone swiftly flew up. Chen Feng was visited by a peculiar sensation. His mind had seemingly split into three parts, each capable of perfectly representing his thoughts.

The three stones began moving in the air at the same time, each moving in different ways. It was as though there were three people controlling the stones, one controlling each stone.

The Tristar Crown is fully open and I have now cultivated up to the one multitasking mind realm. Next comes the comprehension of the Soulflame and assailing level 3 of the Concealed stage, Chen Feng thought.

Chen Feng, who was in the midst of contemplation, suddenly jerked his head up to see two human figures swiftly flying down the foot of the mountain. In but the blink of an eye, they had arrived before him.

They were two outer disciples who would often work at the mine alongside him. At that moment, however, their faces were filled with panic. Their eyes, especially, were filled with dread.

“What happened?” Seeing that, Chen Feng could instinctively sense that something was not right. It would appear that something was about to happen.

“Some disciples have died,” one of them said in dread.

“What, someone died? What happened?” Chen Feng stood up.

“We don’t know either. After waking up today, we found several fellow disciples with all their blood sucked out from their bodies.” As they were informing Chen Feng, looks of dread flashed across their faces.

“Come, let’s go check it out,” Chen Feng said.

By the time Chen Feng arrived, the foot of the mountain was already filled with Extreme Celestial Sect disciples. Even Zhao Qiang and Ma Wu were there. Additionally, four other people managed to attract Chen Feng’s attention.

Those four are also heir disciples, Chen Feng thought.

Due to the incident, it was only natural for them to not start work. Instead, they gathered together to discuss the matter.

“What happened?” Chen Feng asked, stepping forward.

He then saw six disciples spread around on the ground at random. They were all outer disciples who were still fine and dandy yesterday. At that moment, however, they had become corpses. Additionally, those were dried-up corpses.

Two heir disciples were investigating their cause of death.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Chen Feng was instantly stunned. The six fellows’ corpses were completely shrivelled up and not a trace of vitality was left within them. All the blood essence within them had been completely sucked dry.

Chen Feng sent his divine sense out and found that the six fellows’ sea of wisdoms had dried up as well. As for their divine senses, it was unknown if they had simply dissipated or if they were sucked away by some unknown entity.

With the exception of the two bloody holes on their necks, there were no other wounds on any other part of their bodies. Their clothes, weapons and spatial pouches remained completely intact.

“Their blood was completely sucked out. What manner of creature did this?” someone shouted aloud.

“Enough! Enough! Disperse. We will take care of this. There are many bloodthirsty monsters in the cultivation world. It is not surprising for us to occasionally bump into some. Everyone, continue your work. We will take care of the rest,” one of the heir disciples said loudly.

The disciples quickly dispersed and moved back into the valley to continue cutting out Starlight Stones. However, they never stopped discussing the matter. On the contrary, it grew fiercer. At any rate, the mining operation was an extremely tedious one. At that moment, however, it was as though someone had thrown a large boulder into a calm surface of water, causing waves that rose to the sky and ripples to form around it.
