The ability of the mountain god, "Mountain Fusion", allows Xiao Shi to integrate into everything connected to the earth.
Even this special tombstone.
When connected to the earth.
After Xiao Shi performed the "Mountain Fusion", he successfully merged into it and successfully took the corpse from the tombstone.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shi chose another tombstone where the body of a saint was buried, and continued to merge into it to obtain the body.
Just like that, one corpse after another was obtained.
In an instant.
All the corpses of the saints in the Taiyue clan's tomb have fallen into Xiao Shi's hands.
At this time, three extremely huge tombstones appeared in front of Xiao Shi.
Compared to the previous saints' tombstones.
These three tombstones are much larger than those of the saints.
Especially the tombstone in the middle.
It's like a tall tower piercing the sky.
It exudes a terrifying aura that captivates people.
It's just a tombstone.
But it made Xiao Shi feel like he was facing a powerful person.
Xiao Shi knew it well.
This tombstone is obviously the tombstone of the demigod of the Taiyue clan!
Next to it are two slightly smaller tombstones that also exude a terrifying aura. They are the tombstones of the two Taoist masters of the Taiyue clan.
To this.
Xiao Shi waited and watched for a while.
He did not choose to steal the bodies of the demigods and Taoist masters.
He knows it very well.
With the status of a demigod, even if it was just a corpse, it was totally beyond the reach of my current self.
Moreover, even if he had the ability to steal the demigod's body, it would inevitably alert the Taiyue clan.
By then, I might not be able to escape alive.
Most importantly…
Even if he stole the corpse of a demigod, he would not be able to use the secret technique of Red Refining to refine it into a Red Refined Corpse.
At present, he can only refine the corpses at the Saint stage into Red Refined Corpses.
The corpses of demigods and Taoist masters cannot do this.
Therefore, there is not much meaning in stealing the bodies of the demigod and the Taoist master now, and it will only alert the enemy.
Think of this.
Xiao Shi didn't hesitate at all.
Evacuate decisively.
He has obtained all the corpses of the saints of the Taiyue clan, and his goal has been achieved.
…
One month later.
Xiao Shi sneaked into a huge sect in the Tianji Kingdom.
In the same way, the bodies of many saints in the sect were stolen.
I have to say.
The dream ability of the Dream Witch lineage is extremely effective in stealing corpses.
When these saints were completely defenseless, Xiao Shi could easily pull them into a dream.
As long as you don't do anything that would hurt or irritate them in your dreams.
It is difficult for them to wake up from their dreams.
Will sink into dreams.
This made it particularly easy for Xiao Shi to steal the corpses of these saints.
that's all.
After he stole the corpses of saints from three forces in succession, the number of saints' corpses he had on hand had reached nearly thirty!
To this.
Xiao Shi chose to stop in time and did not continue stealing.
On the one hand, there are not many forces that still possess the corpse of the saint. After all, not every force will build a tomb.
On the other hand, the three forces whose bodies he had stolen have all noticed that their tombs had been robbed.
This made all three forces extremely angry!
Use all means to investigate.
I vow to find the person who stole the body.
However, no matter how they searched, they still had no clue.
In the Tianji Kingdom, or even in the entire Wu Dynasty, this ability to make people fall into a dream has never appeared.
At the same time, the other party can steal the corpse from the tombstone without destroying it.
This was completely unprecedented for them.
Even those Dao Ancestors and Demigods.
I have never heard of such ability existing in the world.
This led to their investigation, which yielded no results.
However, this matter spread throughout Tianji Middle School.
It caused a huge sensation.
So that other forces that own tombs heard about it.
Everyone has become alert to this.
Xiao Shi knew.
If I continue to act, there will inevitably be greater risks.
He knows how to quit while he is ahead.
Just the corpses of the saints that he has stolen so far, plus the red corpse that he brought to the early martial arts era, are basically enough for him to carry out the next action.
There's no need to risk coveting more corpses.
Immediately.
Xiao Shi left Tianji Kingdom directly.
Lie dormant.
He began to refine the corpses of these saints through the secret technique of red refining.
Although this is Xiao Shi’s first time refining it.
However, he did not feel any difficulty while refining it.
The entire refining process went very smoothly.
The only drawback.
The refining of a red-refined corpse usually takes about one or two months.
If he wanted to refine all the corpses of these saints into red-refined corpses, Xiao Shi estimated that it would take nearly three years.
Fortunately, Xiao Shi had a total of three hundred years in the early martial arts era, so he didn't have to worry about the three years of refining the Red Corpse.
that's all.
As Xiao Shi continued to refine.
When he successfully completed the refining of several red-refined corpses, he suddenly discovered that there were certain differences in the strength of these red-refined corpses.
Not every red-refined corpse has the same strength.
And this difference in strength.
It is mainly reflected in the physical strength of the corpse.
The corpse he stole from the Taiyue clan, after being refined into a Red Refined Corpse, was obviously stronger than the Red Refined Corpse refined from the corpses of other saints.
"No..."
"The strength of the Scarlet Refined Corpse does not simply depend on the physical body."
"A more accurate statement is to look at the systems these saints had during their lifetime!"
Xiao Shi seemed to be thinking about something.
The saints of the early martial arts era are completely different from the saints of the great martial arts era.
The saints here do not need to refine a field to become saints.
Not just the early martial arts era.
This was the case in all other eras that Xiao Shi had come into contact with.
Only the saints of the Dawu era need to refine their domains.
Although the warrior systems of each era have some differences to a greater or lesser extent.
But Xiao Shi felt that the biggest difference between the warrior system of the Dawu era and the warrior systems of other eras lies in the Saint Realm!
Compared to the Red Refined Corpse that was refined using the Red Refining Secret Technique.
The Red Refined Corpse, which was refined from the corpses of saints from the Dawu era, must be the weakest among the corpses of saints from all eras!
Because the saints in the Dawu era are only in their strongest form when they are in their own domain.
But after they died.
Their own domain cannot be preserved in their corpses.
Therefore, the Red Refined Corpse refined by the Red Refining Secret Technique will not have such a domain blessing at all, and the combat power it can exert is far inferior to that of the Red Refined Corpse refined from the corpses of other saints.
As for saints like the Taiyue clan who specialize in the physical body, even after death, the combat power of their corpses will not be greatly weakened.
In particular, the numerous runes on the Taiyue clan will not dissipate even after death, thus preserving their strength to the greatest extent.
The red-refined corpse refined in this way will be far stronger than the ordinary red-refined corpse.
Xiao Shi even compared the Taiyue clan's Red Refined Corpse with his original Red Refined Corpse.
He discovered that the Red Refined Corpse of the Taiyue Clan was even stronger than the Red Refined Corpse he had originally obtained!
"Unfortunately, the Red Refining Secret Technique can only be used to refine corpses, and cannot be used to refine the Red Refining Corpse Blade and the Red Refining Battle Armor..."
Xiao Shi felt a little regretful about this.
He knows it very well.
The power of the Red Refined Corpse is not only due to the corpse itself, but also needs to be matched with the Red Refined Corpse Sword and the Red Refined Battle Armor.
Only in this way can the strongest fighting power be unleashed.
It’s a pity that he only has five sets of Red Refined Corpse Blades and Red Refined Battle Armor.
It is impossible to let all the red-refined corpses have one.
In this way.
He could only equip these five sets of Red Refined Corpse Swords and Red Refined Battle Armor on the five strongest Red Refined Corpses.
thus.
Xiao Shi can divide these red-refined corpses into three different levels according to their strength.
These five Red Refined Corpses equipped with Red Refined Corpse Knives and Red Refined Battle Armors are naturally the strongest ones.
The second tier is those red-refined corpses of the Taiyue clan that are not equipped with the red-refined corpse sword and the red-refined battle armor.
If he could make more Red Refined Corpse Swords and Red Refined Battle Armors in the future, then the Red Refined Corpse of this level would be able to reach the strength of the first level.
Even the weakest level of Red Refined Corpse still possesses the powerful combat capability to compete with ordinary saints!
Most importantly…
The corpses stolen by Xiao Shi this time are not within the scope of the reset of the initial martial arts era.
That is to say.
When Xiao Shi leaves the Chuwu era, he can bring them directly back to his own era!
This is undoubtedly a huge gain.
that's all.
As time goes by.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three years, Xiao Shi did nothing but concentrate on refining corpses.
As a result, he successfully refined all the corpses of the saints in his hands into red-refined corpses.
"So… "
“It’s time to act!”
A cold light flashed in Xiao Shi's eyes.
Stealing the saint's body was only the first step in his plan.
The next action is the key.
In the past three years, in addition to refining the Red Corpse, Xiao Shi was also waiting for an opportunity.
He was waiting for the incident of stealing the corpse before to fade away with the passage of time.
After all, the noise he caused by stealing the corpse was huge.
Even if the refining of the Red Corpse could be completed at that time, it would not be advisable to take action.
Now three years have passed.
Although the impact is still there, compared to three years ago, the whole thing has been much less severe.
At the same time, Xiao Shi did not plan to take action in Tianji Kingdom.
He knows it very well.
Even though the number of saints in the Tianji Kingdom is the largest in the entire Wu Dynasty.
But there is a demigod in charge here.
There is definitely no choice but to take action here.
He chose the Xueyan Kingdom among the twelve lower kingdoms as his target.
Based on the information he had.
There are also many saints in the Xueyan Kingdom. Although not as many as in the Tianji Kingdom, they are definitely the largest number among the many lower countries.
That day.
Xiao Shi then came to the Xueyanxia Kingdom.
But he didn't rush into it.
Instead, we should gather intelligence first.
Before taking any action, he needed to grasp the locations and whereabouts of all the saints in Xueyanxia Kingdom, and ensure that every saint in Xueyanxia Kingdom was under his control.
in this way…
Only then can we catch them all in one fell swoop!
Even if it takes some time.
But he was not in a hurry.
Three hundred years have passed, but only three years have passed.
"It would be the best situation if we could leave a mark on them and keep track of their location at all times."
Xiao Shi thought to himself.
It's not like he doesn't have such means.
The most representative one is the Heavenly Grade Secret Dust Seal that he had obtained since he entered the Martial Level, and has been upgraded to the Martial Soul Level Soul Seal.
It’s a pity that the soul imprint has reached its end after reaching the martial soul level.
There was no subsequent improvement.
Xiao Shi felt that if he wanted to further improve the soul seal, he should improve it to the level that could mark a saint.
Then you need to improve it yourself.
To this.
He already had some ideas in his mind.
Decided to try to combine the soul seal with another ability of the mountain god, "earth sense".
The mountain god's ability, "earth sense", is mainly achieved by sensing the land within a certain area.
As long as people within this area keep their feet on the ground.
Then Xiao Shi will be able to use this ability to sense the existence of these people.
And since Xiao Shi has reached the level of a saint in controlling the abilities of the mountain god, he can completely sense the saints through this ability.
However, this ability can only sense the saints in the area where Xiao Shi is located.
It is impossible to sense such a large area as the entire Xueyanxia Kingdom.
Therefore, it needs to be combined with the soul seal.
Once successful.
He can use the soul seal as a sensing medium to sense the saints within a range.
soon.
When he tried to combine them, he found that the combination of soul imprint and earth sense was very smooth, and there was no conflict between the two during the combination.
After the successful combination.
Xiao Shi was in the area where one of the saints was, and he condensed the combined mark on some people in that area.
After all, it is the status of soul seal.
It can only be concentrated on people below the Saint realm.
If it is forcibly condensed on a saint, it will definitely be noticed by the saint.
This is also the important reason why it is impossible to directly mark a saint through soul imprint.
Xiao Shi could only condense the soul imprint on some important people in an area.
For example, the lords of each city.
These city lords usually stay in their own cities and rarely go out.
In this way, Xiao Shi can sense the saints in the entire city through the soul imprints on their bodies.
that's all.
As Xiao Shi cast his net widely, it took him four months to successfully place numerous "chess pieces" with his soul imprints in various locations in Xueyanxia Kingdom.
Therefore, through these chess pieces, he could clearly grasp the position of every saint in the Xueyanxia Kingdom.
"Everything is ready!"
“It’s time to take action!”
There was a flash of murderous intent in Xiao Shi's eyes.
