Chapter 302: Mass Production of Strong Beings
Several hours later, Sun Zhe, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stood up abruptly. His sudden movement startled Nie Yuan and Martial Law, who were guarding him, causing them to look at the dazed Sun Zhe in confusion. They noticed that Sun Zhe's face was alternating between pale and green.
Nie Yuan and Martial Law exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of unease. Did something happen to Sun Zhe's mind during the earlier battle? But looking at Sun Zhe's expression, it didn't seem quite right.
“Sword Sovereign, what’s wrong?” After a moment, Martial Law couldn't help but step forward to ask.
To his surprise, the only response was a long sigh, with an expression of regret clearly visible on Sun Zhe's face. He shook his head helplessly without explaining. With a gentle swipe of his right hand over the Ethereal Ring, a black scroll appeared in his hand, which he casually tossed to Martial Law.
Martial Law received the black scroll with some confusion and immediately noticed that it was enveloped in a dense Death Qi. Upon opening it, the words “Reanimation Technique” jumped into his view. As he read the contents of the scroll, his eyes lit up as he quickly understood Sun Zhe's intentions.
“What’s going on?” Seeing the change in Martial Law's expression, Nie Yuan leaned over and took the scroll from him to read. Instantly, his expression changed as well, and he exclaimed excitedly, “You want to use those corpses to create Reanimation Technique?”
Looking at the numerous Corpses scattered around, Nie Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of astonishment. If all these powerful corpses could indeed be refined, it would be like mass-producing strong beings. Although this many Reanimation Techniques wouldn't compare to a major force like Blade Domain, they would certainly sweep through lesser factions effortlessly. Moreover, there was even a corpse of an Ancient God Strongman among them.
While Blade Domain is a major power with an ancient lineage, they do not have any records of esoteric techniques like the Reanimation Technique. After all, people from Blade Domain practice Sword Techniques, and there aren't that many high-level corpses available for refinement in the Nine Continents Mainland. Even those powerful individuals' corpses after death are preserved by various sects for their descendants to pay respects to. Thus, techniques like the Reanimation Technique are quite rare even across the entire Nine Continents World. However, Nie Yuan never expected that Sun Zhe would possess such a technique.
“That's right. I initially had this idea, and now that we've encountered such difficulties right after arriving here, we might face more dangers ahead. If we can refine these corpses, we won't have to worry about anything on our journey. But unfortunately, we don't have enough materials,” said Sun Zhe, sighing helplessly as he looked at the corpses filled with Death Qi. He felt both love and hate for them; although he could take these corpses back to Blade Domain for slow refinement, it wouldn't help their current situation since they were heading to the Thunder God Altar.
Of course, they did have some materials in their Ethereal Ring, but it was just a drop in the bucket compared to so many corpses. It was laughable; when refining the body of Yin Yun Zhenren back then, Sun Zhe had consumed countless materials. If he were to refine all these corpses now, the amount of materials required would be an astronomical figure even for the vast Blade Domain!
Just as Sun Zhe and Nie Yuan were lamenting their predicament, however, Martial Law began chuckling quietly to himself with a somewhat radiant yet lewd smile.
“Martial Law, what are you laughing at? Why weren't you laughing like this when we encountered that Ancestral God Corpse earlier?” Seeing this behavior from Martial Law, Nie Yuan immediately took the opportunity to criticize him without hesitation.
“Look at you, dead Blade Maniac. It's just been a few years outside; do you really think you've become the boss? If it weren't for your family's ancestor helping you after you returned, you wouldn't even have reached the strength of a Saint Level Pinnacle. Just now you were also helpless; how dare you say anything? If it weren't for Sword Sovereign intervening, you'd probably be a corpse by now!” retorted Martial Law, unwilling to lose face.
“You…” Nie Yuan's expression stiffened as he shot an angry glare at Martial Law.
"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you right now. After I go back, I will have a good talk with Sister Susan about this matter. Sword Sovereign, you take a look at what this is..."
Sun Zhe was already accustomed to the responsibilities within this group of four. He initially thought the two would continue to bicker, but unexpectedly, Martial Law suddenly stopped and took out an Ethereal Ring from his pocket, handing it over.
The Ethereal Ring seemed to be engraved with a monster, having a dragon's head and a serpent's body, yet possessing eight arms. It resembled a creature from Ancient Times, but what caught Sun Zhe's attention was not that; it was the faint glow surrounding the Ethereal Ring. A rich and profound aura enveloped it, clearly distinguishing it from ordinary Ethereal Rings.
Sun Zhe looked up at Martial Law and found him smiling broadly, nodding at him. He cautiously extended his Divine Consciousness into the Ethereal Ring. As soon as his Divine Consciousness entered the Ethereal Ring, Sun Zhe immediately realized that the space within was far greater than that of an ordinary Ethereal Ring; it almost had the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers. Upon seeing what was inside the ring, Sun Zhe was completely stunned.
Materials—various materials—piled up like dozens of mountains!
"This... this... how do you have so many materials..."
Sun Zhe swallowed hard, retracting his Divine Consciousness from the Ethereal Ring. He stared blankly at Martial Law. It wasn't that Sun Zhe had never seen such things before; rather, there were simply too many materials in this Ethereal Ring. The wealth represented by these materials was something no Saint Level Pinnacle could possess, let alone a Pinnacle of Divine Realm expert. Sun Zhe couldn't fathom how Martial Law could have so many materials.
"Hehe, actually these aren't mine; they belong to our Blade Domain." Seeing the expression on Sun Zhe's face, Martial Law showed a hint of embarrassment for the first time and began to explain slowly.
It turned out that this time Old Domain Master sent Martial Law to Nine Continents Mainland not only to fetch Sun Zhe but also to bring back various materials collected in Nine Continents. These materials were meant for the entire Blade Domain's use for a year. However, after Martial Law returned and coincidentally met Nie Yuan, the four of them sent Sun Zhe to Supreme Hall and immediately started reminiscing. They hadn't finished their catch-up when Old Domain Master asked them to accompany Sun Zhe to Endless Abyss, causing him to forget about the materials.
Sun Zhe didn't know how many people were in Blade Domain or how vast their material consumption was in a year. What he did know was that these materials were more than enough for him to refine hundreds or even thousands of Reanimation Techniques; producing tens of thousands like Yin Yu Zhen Ren would be no problem.
"Haha... Martial Law, I didn't expect you to accidentally do a good deed this time!" After hearing Martial Law's explanation, Nie Yuan burst into laughter. If Martial Law hadn't forgotten about this matter, all these materials would have remained in Blade Domain and never made it to Endless Abyss.
"I only remembered this once I got here. At that time, I was still thinking about how to explain this to Domain Lord when I got back. But now it's fine; it's just that these materials belong to Blade Domain after all. If I were to use them privately..." At this point, Martial Law's face involuntarily showed a hint of difficulty.
There were indeed materials available, but they belonged to Blade Domain. If he suddenly took all these materials away, although he was a Saint Level Pinnacle expert, he certainly couldn't bear that responsibility since these materials represented what countless people in Blade Domain needed for an entire year.
However, just because he couldn't bear that responsibility didn't mean Sun Zhe couldn't either. Without any hesitation on his face, Sun Zhe waved his hand and said,
"I'll take charge of this matter; I'll explain it to Domain Lord when we return!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe issued his first command since becoming Sword Sovereign—misappropriation of public funds!
Once Sun Zhe's words fell, Martial Law immediately spread out the Reanimation Technique scroll and excitedly began speaking before Sun Zhe and the others could react.
"I just checked it out. This Reanimation Technique records a total of twenty-one methods for reanimation: eleven low-level, seven intermediate, and only three high-level. There's no need to look at the low-level and intermediate ones; that would be a complete waste of corpses. If we're going to refine, we should go for the high-level ones."
"The three high-level types are Yin Huai Iron Corpse, Seven Fiends Corpse, and Sword Corpse. They all require corpses of Emperor Level or above, which is not a problem at all. Additionally, among them, the Yin Huai Iron Corpse has the highest refining requirements, needing an extremely yin vein; the Seven Fiends Corpse requires the least materials but has the weakest power; while the Sword Corpse consumes the most materials—several times more than the others—but has the greatest power and also the shortest refining time."
"So, I think refining the Sword Corpse is the most cost-effective option. As for those below Holy Rank, most Holy Rank corpses can be excluded. We should directly refine those from Divine Realm and Saint Level Pinnacle. What do you think?"
After a moment, Martial Law raised his head and noticed that Sun Zhe and Nie Yuan were both in a daze, clearly shocked by his lengthy explanation.
"I finally understand; you had already calculated everything and were just waiting for me to speak..." Seeing Martial Law's expression, Sun Zhe said with a wry smile. It was obvious that Martial Law's earlier troubled expression was all an act; he probably started planning as soon as he got this Reanimation Technique, just waiting for Sun Zhe to take on this responsibility.
Nie Yuan also walked over to Martial Law's side, sighed deeply, and patted Martial Law on the shoulder with his right hand. "After being brothers for so many years, I now realize how calculating you really are. It's a pity you didn't become a businessman."
"Haha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter; after all, this was about mass-producing strong individuals.
