Chapter 66: Corpse Flesh Mire!

  The scroll has a simple and ancient shape, with a dark red silk thread sealing it.

  Qin Yi's fingertips touched, and a thread of light flashed with a red glow, disappearing from sight. The scroll automatically unfolded slowly, and a beam of light shot out from the scroll, projecting onto the clean wall in front of Qin Yi.

  "Corpse Meat Swamp, kill a Zombie King that has been undead for 500 years or more and bring its Corpse Core back to the Holy Saint Academy within two months, then the test is considered passed."

  Qin Yimou muttered to himself as he gazed at the words projected on the wall, thinking: "Corpse Flesh Swamp? Where is that? It seems I've never heard of it before."

  Qin Yi recalled that in the "Continental Chronicle" and the small booklet published by Tian Sheng College, there was no record of the Corpse Meat Swamp. However, Qin Yi remembered that Ling Yi had said that when he received the news to participate in the test, he would go to Wuji Peak to find her, and she would pass on her divine ability to help him pass the test smoothly.

  "Ling Yi Lao should know where this corpse swamp is, just ask her about it." Qin Yi put away the scroll and walked out of the house, stepping on flower petals as he flew towards Wuji Peak.

  After becoming a high-ranking disciple at Tian Sheng College, the college would reward him with a mountain.

  Wuji Peak is a mountain peak bestowed upon Ling Yi by the Tian Sheng College.

  Qin Yi shuttled through the undulating mountains, looking down, the Tian Sheng Academy's strange mountains and wonderful waters were scattered and arranged in a magnificent array, hidden within which was a large formation that connected the entire Tian Sheng Academy into one vast expanse, its grandeur so awe-inspiring that even ghosts and spirits would retreat three steps.

  Qin Yi carefully pondered the layout of the mountains and rivers, feeling a vast and expansive energy rising from his chest, broadening his thoughts and gaining new insights.

  After flying for about an hour, a mountain peak appeared in the distance, standing upright among the mountains and ridges, like a sharp sword, piercing the sky.

  The surrounding mountains are nearly half as tall as this mountain peak.

  "We're here." Qin Yi looked down and saw the Wuji Peak standing in the middle of a huge lake, with spiritual lights flickering in the water, like a silver dragon swimming and leaping about, majestic without being angry.

  Qin Yi descended onto the mountain top, in front of him a majestic and towering palace was shrouded in clouds and mist, surrounded by blooming flowers, with rays of light flickering, making one feel carefree and joyful.

  The spiritual energy in the surrounding air is hundreds, thousands of times stronger than the house where Qin Yi currently lives. Every time Qin Yi takes a breath, he can feel a thread of spiritual energy being absorbed into his lungs, merging with his qi and blood, causing his spirit to tremble involuntarily.

  Arriving in front of the gate that was over ten zhang tall, the gate seemed to connect a distorted space-time. Through the semi-transparent green gate, Qin Yi could even see twinkling stars and nebulae.

  "Is it Qin Yi? Come in." Just as Qin Yi was thinking about how to enter, Ling Yi's voice came from the front.

  As he stepped through the gate, Qin Yi felt a refreshing coolness wash over him, as if his entire body was enveloped in a spring breeze. A soft whooshing sound echoed in his ears, and suddenly everything before him became clear and bright.

  Inside the grand hall, both length and width are thousands of steps, accommodating tens of thousands of people is no problem.

  Enormous runes were carved into the ground, filling the entire floor of the great hall.

  The talisman emitted an extremely fierce aura, a violent power that was hidden within, as if it would burst out of the earth and destroy the heavens.

  The grand hall's vaulted ceiling is like a vast universe, with nebulae drifting slowly by, giving one a sense of being extremely small.

  An ordinary disciple, if placed in this grand hall, would certainly feel a sense of trepidation, their legs turning soft, and dare not take another step forward. Even lifting their head to glance ahead requires immense courage.

  However, Qin Yi was different, with a monstrous creature lurking inside his body that spanned across the universe.

  The entire universe was nothing but a big bed in Qin Yi's eyes. He didn't show any signs of fear or unease, and calmly bowed his hands to Ling Yi at the center of the array: "Greetings, Elder Ling Yi."

  "Mm." Ling Yi nodded and waved her hand casually, causing two nebulae to condense into shape in mid-air. She sat cross-legged on one of them, gesturing for Qin Yi to sit on the other.

  "Has the content of the advanced test come down?" Ling Yi asked: "What task are we going to do?"

  Qin Yi handed the scroll to Ling Yi with both hands and said, "This is about going to the Corpse Flesh Swamp, killing the 500-year-old Zombie King. I don't know where the Corpse Flesh Swamp is or what to pay attention to, so I came to ask for your advice."

  "What nonsense is this?" Ling Yi's hand, which had yet to take the scroll, halted in mid-air. The anger in his eyes gradually intensified: "Preposterous!"

  "Elder?" Qin Yi looked at Ling Ye in confusion.

  "Qin Yi, do you know what the Corpse Flesh Swamp is? Ling Yi furrowed her brow, "Even if a disciple has just broken through to the Flame Soul realm, they wouldn't dare set foot there easily. Even low-ranking disciples with tasks to complete would go in groups of at least four or five people. Going alone is almost equivalent to going in without returning. The demons there have powers that are at least at the Sacrificial Vessel realm. Moreover, the space-time there is distorted, leading to the outer domain, and you might encounter sleeping ancient demon heads at any time. Those demon heads would be difficult for even me to deal with! Is Elder going crazy by sending you to the Corpse Flesh Swamp for a test?"

  "This test content is either a mistake of the Council of Elders or someone wants you dead." Ling Yi quickly made a judgment, "In the Academy, besides Chen Huaofeng and Lei Tian, have you offended anyone else?"

  When Qin Yi heard Ling Yi's words, the first name that popped into his mind was Qin Yuwei.

  "Qin Yi, if you listen to my advice, it's better not to go for this test, as it's really too dangerous. You are a disciple who was jointly promoted by Bo Ming and Gong De elders, even if you don't take the test, no one will gossip about it." Ling Yi gave Qin Yi a sincere suggestion, "If something unexpected happens, it won't be worth it."

  "No." Qin Yi shook his head without hesitation, his eyes firm. "The more people are messing around behind my back, the more I want to go. I won't let them look down on me."

  In Qin Yi's eyes, a divine light gleamed: "I want to let them know that their sinister plots and schemes can't harm me at all. I not only want to come back alive but also complete the task smoothly and slap them in the face!"

  Looking at Qin Yi's determined will, Ling Yi looked at him deeply: "If you insist on going, I won't stop you either. Since the test scroll has been released, the college won't take it back. However, this matter, I will report to the principal and see who is behind the scenes."

  "Hmm, thank you, Elder Ling Yu." Qin Yi said gratefully.

  "You saved Luo's life, and Luo and I are like sisters. Taking care of you is also a way for me to thank you on her behalf. Besides, I really appreciate your character and believe that you're a genius." Ling Yi looked at Qin Yu: "I heard from Luo that when you first arrived at the academy two months ago, you were just an apprentice disciple with a name tag, and it was Luo who promoted you."

  "You have a rare encounter, a fateful connection. Although I haven't had much contact with you, I can see that you possess the great willpower required of those in high positions, and it's sufficient to be ruthless. This is something we have in common, and I admire it greatly." Ling Yi didn't hide her praise for Qin Yi at all. "So speaking from the heart, I also hope you'll return safely this time."

  "Since you've decided to go to the Corpse Swamp, I'll introduce you to this place and then pass on two divine techniques to you. Hopefully, they can be of help." As Ling Yi spoke, her two palms made a sweeping motion in front of her face.

  The space in front of her shook slightly, and a map more than one zhang long and wide slowly unfolded between Ling Yu and Qin Yi.

  Qin Yi saw that the map displayed the entire terrain of the Yufeng continent, with every detail in sight. What's even more amazing is that each region seems to be a small real world, and you can even see rivers flowing and leaves falling on the map, it's simply a miniature version of the real world!

  "This is the power of a strong person! Can rely on true energy, condense out an independent space!" Qin Yi's heart was shocked beyond measure.

  "The corpse flesh swamp, it's right here." Ling Yi pointed to a location on the map with her finger, and immediately, a section of the map popped out, enlarged and clarified. A piece of marshland, impact craters from fallen meteorites, small volcanic mouths protruding, connected in patches, swirling black air, blocking out the sky and sun. Even just looking at the map, one could feel the overwhelming evil energy.

  Qin Yi's line of sight shifted towards the corpse-filled swamp when his eyes scanned the surrounding area, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Jade Flower City!"

  Qin Yi's old home was actually located not far from the Corpse Swamp on the map.

  From Tian Sheng College to Corpse Flesh Swamp, as long as you take a slight detour, you can pass by Yuhua City.

  Qin Yixin's mind was racing, but it didn't show on her face. Her gaze shifted to the corpse and mud pit as she listened to Ling Yi's introduction.

  "What I said earlier, you must remember in your heart. In addition, the Corpse Swamp is divided into five rings: Blood and Flesh Swamp, Zombie Swamp, Evil Spirit Swamp, Demon Swamp, and Black Hole Swamp. The place where you need to kill the Zombie King is in the second ring, the Zombie Swamp."

  As Ling Yi spoke, her slender fingers also constantly pointed and swept across the map.

  The flesh and blood on the map become more three-dimensional, inside and outside the five rings, clear and distinct.

  Qin Yi noticed that two adjacent rings were twisted spacetime connected together.

  The corpse's flesh was like a muddy swamp, it can be said that it itself came from a different dimension!

  Astral plane, fraught with danger, even the lower-ranking disciples of the Tian Sheng Academy would not dare to venture in easily. However, Qin Yi was an exception, his strength far surpassing that of ordinary lower-ranking disciples by several times!

  "A Corpse King who has lived for five hundred years would generally retain some of their will from when they were alive, and even their cultivated divine abilities would be preserved. Their strength would be at least at the level of a Soul Burial Realm. But looking at your current strength, plus the Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror, you shouldn't have any problems."

  "This time you go to the Corpse Swamp, everything must be done with caution. The task has a limited time of two months, which is quite ample. After I impart two divine arts to you, you can cultivate here for half a month. On this Wuji Peak, spiritual energy is abundant, and beneath the mountain peak, a thousand-year-old volcano is suppressed, its surging energy can also activate your potential, making your physical body even stronger."

  Listening to Ling Yi say that she can actually cultivate on the Wuji Peak for half a month, Qin Yi was both surprised and delighted, feeling that Ling Yi was simply too lovely and endearing!
