Night of the Broken Gliph

The powerful cultivator was none other than Ling Fei.

“Sacred son, your humble servant still thinks that it’s too risky. Netherspectre is a formidable beast with an extraordinary mental state, and there is a chance of backlash even with the Deadly Palm Gliph’s restriction; the exact reason why all tribe members use only the souls of the dead.” After much hesitation, he voiced his worry.

Siu Fu shook his head and turned to Ling Fei, completely serious.

“Do you know the origin of necrocultivation?”

Ling Fei was left stunned. Siu Fu received no response from Ling Fei.

“It’s important to read up.” Siu Fu joked, something he only did once in a blue moon, and turned around with his hands behind his back.

He stared at the endless night, as if bringing himself back to that stormy night where a silhouette held onto a corpse, letting out an anguished wail.

“With thunder as witness, with love as my vow, even in the Yellow Spring's embrace, we will never part.

“This is the first sentence in the Yellow Springs Belief Sect’s first chapter: the start of a sect.

“In the past, necrocultivation was known as the Yellow Springs Belief Sect. The original intention behind creating the Yellow Springs Belief Sect was to merge the deceased soul with oneself so as to be together forever. With the soul, that cultivator became extremely powerful and people started joining his sect. However, is it so easy to find someone willing to die and become your slave?

“As time passed, the members of the Yellow Springs Belief Sect turned to taking the lives of powerful cultivators and making the souls of the dead work for them forcefully using certain methods.

“This is the origin of necrocultivation.”

Ling Fei was completely bewildered by the content, and he didn’t know why but he felt that whatever the sacred son said was true.

“Does that mean…?”

“Yes, all of you have cultivated wrongly,” Siu Fu continued calmly. “Remember how Rouge Dragon could defeat Jet as a two-chambered cultivator? That’s because his soul followed him willingly and is willingly being controlled.

“Souls can be controlled forcefully, but at the expense of losing the soul’s agility that comes with self-awareness. But willing souls must make the decision to give up their physical body to merge with the host and share a mind.

“How can ordinary necrocultivators compete using a dead soul?”

Suddenly, Siu Fu stopped in his tracks. Ling Fei felt the same thing and frowned. “The smell of blood is so strong.”

Siu Fu looked forward, towards the woods.

“Interesting.”

---

They were currently in a forest located in the east.

Speaking of the east, other than the vast Eastern Sea, there was the gliphic beasts’ haven, the Forbidden Forest.

It was a magnificent scene to look at the Forbidden Forest from a bird's eye view; the transition from the endless deep blue ocean to the sprawling expanse of dense greenery and towering trees.

However, somewhere deep in the forest was a place filled with the strong smell of blood.

A young man was present at the site, with his right hand on a tree and his left hand holding a rod tightly, looking around cautiously. He was surrounded by about thirty gliphic beast corpses that were of grade one and two. The rusty smell of blood permeated the air, saturating other parts of the forest.

The smell of blood was basically a forbidden item in the Forbidden Forest as most gliphic beasts craved blood and were sensitive to the smell, and there was a tendency to attract a huge number of beasts to the area crazily with such a gory scene.

Yet the young man acted like he didn’t know the danger and tore his worn-out robe apart, revealing his defined abs that were stained with blood, making him look just like a blood man.

This was Yuen Tin, the monk who left Apex Temple alone after being defeated by Chui Yim.

If anyone of his state were here to witness, they would be left flabbergasted at how he was able to kill about thirty gliphic beasts of his state alone.

He could be considered an elite of his state!

In fact, the strongest disciple of Apex Temple was never Yuen Yau, but Yuen Tin. It was only that the latter spent more time in seclusion while the former headed out to gain experience. As a gliphist that cultivated mental strength, experience and cultivation were both important.

However, Yuen Tin was starting to burn out.

He had been fighting nonstop for seven hours since the sun set. Yuen Tin succeeded in cultivating bronze skin and he also cultivated the powerful Divine Universe Style, but no matter how powerful those styles were, he was feeling dizzy and beat out after seven hours. Yet, he persevered on.

He came with the aim of becoming stronger, and this was the best way to stimulate growth and improve – dancing on the edge of a knife. Indeed, he saw remarkable improvement after seven hours, yet he knew deep down that staying here for a long fight was no different from committing suicide.

However, he helped himself up with his hands, as he wanted to see how far he could go.

“Roar!!!”

Another violent roar rang across the place. As sharp as an arrow, three terrifying auras came for Yuen Tin.

It was three Devil Horn Goats at the peak of the grade two state.

Devil Horned Goats were nocturnal gliphic beast that lived in herds. Amongst them was a goat with golden black horns that shone brightly. It contained strength that allowed it to challenge and defeat those beyond its state.

Since they lived in herds, behind the three goats were ten grade-one Devil Horned Goats. This was a situation that would leave even three-chambered and ten-gliphic cultivators in fear. One careless step might cost their lives.

Yuen Tin balanced himself, craziness swimming in his eyes. This was not the first time he felt his life was on the line.

Back at the huge temple that was once a sacred place to him when that teenager launched an attack, he felt this feeling for the first time. He did not manage to make a move in front of life and death.

But he was no longer the guy that would wait for death to reach him.

It was a pitiful sight watching him try to fight with his pitiful remaining energy, while the three goats at the peak of grade two stared at him like a piece of meat ready to be eaten; Devil Horned Goats were carnivorous.

“Ahhhh!” Yuen Tin yelled, and the rod in his hands shone in gold. It was the Universe Divine Style!

It was as if there was a blurry figure behind him, landing the rod down on the goats like it was passing judgment.

Sensing the danger, the goats avoided his attack subconsciously.

However, one did not manage to dodge, and the gold beam of light landed on it. It was the gliphility – Judgment of Devils.

Boom!!! Like world-destroying lightning.The goat’s prided horns shattered, and it left the world after a miserable cry. The other goats howled in sadness, fear, and anger.

Yuen Tin could no longer stand up as he awaited his last moment in this world.
