Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 142 Necromancy

"Come and see, what is this?"

Mu Qingyao's surprised questioning voice reached the ears of Ye Qi, who was looking for the mechanism to open the stone door. The appearance of unknown and mysterious things here was either danger or opportunity. Regardless of whether it was danger or opportunity, it was worthy of attention as long as it appeared here!

When Ye Qi came over, he saw Mu Qingyao holding a black and purple book in her delicate hands, with four large, ancient characters written on it: "Necromancy!"

"Why do the undead bodies recorded here feel different from..."

When Ye Qi saw the content on the page that Mu Qingyao opened, he was shocked. It was recorded that the undead body increased its strength by absorbing death energy.

Similarly, as the strength grows stronger, the body will reach its limit, but this death energy will continue to grow on its own, which is equivalent to the natural acceleration of physical fitness through cultivation. The moment the body can no longer withstand the death energy, the death energy in the body will instantly burst the flesh, and the death energy will also sweep away all living things around it, making that piece of land barren.

After Mu Qingyao turned to the next page, the content on it shocked Ye Qi even more. Undead bodies are divided into innate and acquired. Innate undead bodies have an innate cyclone that stores death energy in their bodies, which is equivalent to the sea of qi and snow mountain of ordinary cultivators. Acquired undead bodies require the human body to be eroded by death energy and gradually transformed into a body that is not affected by death energy.

The most crucial thing is that because there is no cyclone in the acquired undead body, the dead air in the body will wander freely in the meridians, so there is a risk of exploding and dying at any time!

"So this is the reason why I am not dead yet?" Mu Qingyao looked at the contents of the book and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"If you are truly as described above, and have achieved an acquired undead spirit body by chance, then I can only control it temporarily. Once you truly explode and die as described above, there will be no way to save you. It seems I must expel the dead energy from your body as soon as possible after I get out!"

"Probably not yet. It says that the undead souls will lose all emotions and desires, but I still have desires. I don't want to die yet, I want to live. This is the last thing my brother told me before he died. No matter how difficult and painful it is, life is not easy, so don't give up your life easily!"

"Don't worry! I'm confident I can remove the dead energy from your body and turn you into a truly normal person!"

Ye Qi had previously been skeptical about the deathly-looking girl in front of him. She looked like someone completely isolated from the world, but even so, she still had such a desire to survive. For an ordinary person, perhaps true death would be the best relief!

"Hmm! This book of necromancy..."

"You can take it. It's of no use to me. Who knows, there might be other ways to completely eliminate it!"

Ye Qi retracted his greedy gaze as he spoke. After all, possessing the Yin Death Talisman was equivalent to possessing an innate undead body. However, the difference was that he had no side effects at all, and he would not explode and die due to the growth of death energy!

"Thanks!"

"I should be the one to say thank you. If you hadn't risked your life for me, I would have died in that wall of death!"

"I did it voluntarily. It wasn't for you, it was for myself. There's no need to offset it. Consider it as me owing you a favor, but I can only repay it if I survive!"

Mu Qingyao put away the ancient book in her hand and looked at Ye Qi seriously. She had never had a normal conversation with anyone in recent days and didn't know how to get along with him for a moment. She just hoped that he would not be annoyed with her because of her weird temper!

However, Ye Qi did not notice that in Mu Qingyao's other hand, which was hidden under her gauze skirt, there was a dark bead!

"Dong dong!"

After Ye Qi walked away, he returned to the wall where he was before. He reached out and knocked on the extremely thick bricks. However, the sound that came out showed that there was a hollow space behind the wall. Perhaps this was the wall connected to other palaces or tunnels.

"There seems to be something else behind this wall. I should be able to get out now!"

"Step aside!"

As soon as Ye Qi finished speaking, he heard Mu Qingyao's cold and ethereal voice coming from behind him. He subconsciously stepped aside and turned around to see a sword energy coming out from the white jade sword in her slender jade hand, suddenly shattering the stone wall in front of him, revealing an uninhabited passage on the other side!

"There's still a faint trace of deathly aura floating around here. I guess those people haven't gotten here yet. Let's go out and see what's going on here!"

The two of them stepped over a pile of broken bricks on the ground and walked on the road filled with death. They could only barely see a few feet in front of them with their sight, and things farther away were blurry and unclear. Fortunately, they still had a few amethysts that they had accidentally obtained before, which were perfect for lighting the way!

"It seems that the deathly aura is spreading from the end of the passage!"

"You mean this dead air isn't just accumulated over the years, but is instead emitted continuously by something?"

Although Mu Qingyao was very familiar with death energy, she only knew about the death energy in her body and had no idea about the death energy outside. However, she did not doubt Ye Qi's insights at all. After all, he was the only person she had met in all these years who could purify the death energy in his body.

Ye Qi raised his hand and grabbed a handful of invisible death energy from the void. He saw that the energy didn't penetrate his body at all. Instead, he felt a strong sense of repulsion, as if this energy of death had an owner and would not be absorbed by anyone at will. He said uncertainly, "Hmm! Perhaps the one emitting the death energy is still alive. Who knows, it could be the owner of the innate undead body recorded in the book of necromancy!"

After hearing this, Mu Qingyao did not show any fear or surprise, and her face remained expressionless, but her body tilted slightly, as if she had an urge to find out what was going on. However, after a moment, she retracted her gaze and looked into Ye Qi's eyes, as if silently asking him whether he wanted to continue walking down this passage.

"I'm already here! If I don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep!"

As Ye Qi spoke, he walked ahead towards the end of the passage. With every step he took, he could feel the death aura becoming more intense, and the Yin Death Talisman in his body began to tremble inexplicably.

This unusual movement does not seem to be fear, but more like joy. It can cause the Yin Death Talisman, which has been silent for a long time, to produce such a strange movement. It seems that what is about to be seen is probably an extraordinary thing, or at least an extremely powerful thing or person!

After Ye Qi pushed open the stone door at the end, a stone coffin suddenly came into view. The lid of the coffin had been opened at some point, and a thick deathly aura as thick as black mist was pouring out from it.

Along with the deathly aura there were also heavy breathing sounds, as if the deathly aura was derived from the breathing in the coffin!

"It's actually a living thing?"
