Chapter 4: Immortal Galaxy
"I remember now, I remember now, this is the supreme secret manual for cultivating the soul, 'The Great Method of Visualizing the Immortal Galaxy'."
"Time passes, and in the blink of an eye, there are births, aging, sickness and death, dynasties change, and the world changes, but the vast galaxy keeps on repeating, and in the infinite changes, there is an eternal and indestructible truth. The world is immortal, and the galaxy is eternal!"
"Li Mo got this 'Immortal Galaxy Visualization Method' by accident. It took him ten years to get through the threshold. Gradually, his soul grew stronger and he figured out a method to control zombies with his soul and condensed seals. He no longer needed to use external instruments to control zombies. Ordinary corpse refiners who want to control zombies often need to use their own blood and instruments as a medium to control zombies. Only those who have cultivated corpse power can use corpse power to control zombies, but that is extremely labor-intensive and is also very limited by distance. It is far less easy and long-distance control than the method of condensing seals with souls."
"I am now short of Qi and blood, so how can I have any extra blood and essence to control zombies? Even if I did, I can't make a magic weapon. As for corpse power, that's even more unrealistic. I follow the upright martial arts path, so how can I cultivate corpse power? I will become half-human and half-ghost, and my mind will be distorted."
"It would be perfect if I could use the method of soul condensation to control zombies. However, it took Li Mo ten years to barely get through the threshold, and then another seventy years to barely be able to use his mind to condense the seal. I'm afraid it's difficult for me to even get through the threshold. I don't know when I can condense the seal with my soul."
"But I have merged with Li Mo's residual soul consciousness. It can be said that my current soul and Li Mo's should have a part of the same origin. This zombie was first sacrificed by Li Mo with his blood, and later he used the soul-refining seal method to further control it. I wonder if I can sacrifice blood to the zombie like I did with the corpse-raising ring, and then achieve some preliminary control purposes?"
Qin Ziling quickly withdrew his gaze from the "Immortal Galaxy Visualization Method" scripture and returned his gaze to the three-headed zombies.
According to the memories of Li Mo's residual soul, this "Immortal Galaxy Visualization Method" is extremely difficult to get started, and now that they are in the wilderness it is not the right time to study it in depth.
As for this zombie, once the blood sacrifice method is feasible, it can immediately become his hidden killer weapon, so the sooner the sacrifice is made, the better.
Soon, Qin Ziling recalled and thought about it carefully again, and then he moved his mind and released a bronze corpse of a Tongbi Spirit Ape from the corpse-raising ring.
The bronze corpse of the Tongbi Lingyuan was three meters tall, with arms almost hanging down to the toes, and its whole body seemed to be made of copper and iron. When it was released, the shadow covered Qin Ziling's entire body, making him feel a strong sense of gloom and oppression.
Relying on Li Mo's remaining memories, Qin Ziling found two runes with a strange aura on the chest and back of the bronze corpse of the Tongbi Lingyuan .
Then Qin Ziling found a bowl with a broken corner and a bald brush in the Taoist temple, washed them, then lit a fire to burn and disinfect the dagger he carried with him, cut his wrist, and collected half a bowl of blood.
Blood sacrifice to zombies is very different from refining corpse rings. The corpse ring only needs a few drops of blood. But for this zombie, you need to keep drawing along the two runes on the back of the chest , so that it can be slowly absorbed by the zombie and spread around the zombie. It takes much more than a few drops.
In fact, the real method of offering sacrifice to zombies requires that one repeatedly draw talismans on the zombies with one's own blood at regular intervals, so that the zombies can establish a close connection with the corpse raiser. It is conceivable how much blood is needed.
There is still the soul seal left by Li Mo on this bronze corpse. If Qin Ziling's inference is feasible, there is no need to repeatedly draw talismans with blood on the zombie every now and then. It only takes one time to establish a close connection, and it can be controlled by consciousness, just like a corpse-raising ring.
Even though Qin Ziling was a martial artist, he still felt dizzy and his face turned pale after releasing half a bowl of blood.
However, Qin Ziling was extremely excited and expectant at this moment. He dipped the brush in blood and began to draw two runes on the zombie's chest and back of the head.
The zombies were filled with poison , so Qin Ziling didn't dare to touch them directly with his fingers.
Soon, most of the bowl of blood was gone. He had already drawn the two complicated runes eight times, but Qin Ziling still didn't feel any changes in the connection between him and the bronze corpse. There was still only a sense of mental connection and intimacy.
He couldn't use his consciousness to command and control the bronze corpse.
Qin Ziling did not give up. He released another half bowl of blood and continued to trace along the runes.
Soon, the blood in the bowl was about to run out. Qin Ziling was wondering with conflicted feelings whether to add some more blood. Suddenly, his heart trembled, and there seemed to be something extra in his mind. Looking at the bronze corpse, he actually felt a sense of connection with flesh and blood.
"Take three steps!" Qin Ziling suppressed the ecstasy and excitement in his heart and his mind moved.
Then, a strange scene happened.
The bronze corpse of the Tongbi Lingyuan actually took three steps and then stopped.
"Pick up that stone and throw it outside the Taoist temple!" Qin Ziling's eyes fell on a large stone flying in the backyard, and his mind moved again.
As expected, the bronze corpse of the Tongbi Lingyuan stretched out its long arms, picked up the big stone, raised it above its head, and then threw it hard.
The big rock flew over the wall with a whoosh and landed heavily on the ground more than thirty meters away with a bang, shaking the earth slightly.
Qin Ziling opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
After a long while, Qin Ziling swallowed hard.
He knew from Li Mo's incomplete memory that the bronze corpse was equivalent to a martial artist at the strength realm, but he never dreamed that the bronze corpse of the Tongbi Lingyuan would be so powerful!
He could not only easily lift a stone weighing at least one ton, but also throw it more than thirty meters away with ease.
Qin Ziling simply couldn't imagine what would happen if he was hit by a slap from the bronze corpse.
Then Qin Ziling tried to give the bronze corpse a few more orders.
Soon, Qin Ziling discovered that as long as the bronze corpse was more than ten meters away from him, his connection with it became very weak and it was difficult to control it effectively. Moreover, as the number of commands issued increased, he felt dizzy from overusing his brain.
Qin Ziling was not at all surprised by these restrictions.
After all, this bronze corpse of the Tongbi Lingyuan was the result of Li Mo's repeated sacrifices with blood, and was later branded with Li Mo's own spiritual seal. He just merged with a part of Li Mo's residual soul consciousness by chance. It was already a great fortune that he could successfully sacrifice most of his own blood to the bronze corpse of the Tongbi Lingyuan. How could he be as easy and free as Li Mo and command it as if it were his own arm?
In fact, Qin Ziling was already very satisfied with such a result. He finally saw the dawn of hope for self-preservation and self-improvement in this chaotic world where the strong prey on the weak.
"Sacrificing blood to the bronze corpse consumes too much blood, and I have difficulty controlling one bronze corpse now. I am not in a hurry to sacrifice the other two bronze corpses. The most urgent thing is to practice the 'Immortal Galaxy Visualization Method' as soon as possible. If I can get started and use my own divine thoughts to condense the seals and imprint them on the bronze corpses, I should be able to control them freely. In addition to the 'Immortal Galaxy Visualization Method', I have to speed up my martial arts training. The corpse refining technique is regarded as one of the evil arts by the Great Qi Dynasty. Once people find out that I can control bronze corpses, it will be a disaster for the whole family. I must never show it in front of others. So the key is to improve my own strength. The bronze corpse can only be used as a trump card."
After finding out the situation of the bronze corpse of the Tongbi Lingyuan, Qin Ziling put away the bronze corpse while thinking to himself, and then quickly left the Taoist temple.
On the night after Qin Ziling left the Taoist temple, two tall and thin men in black came to Xiaolong Mountain. Behind them was an follower whose entire body was covered in a large black cloak, whose face could not be seen clearly and whose movements were stiff.
