Chapter 337 Three Types of Corpse Immortals
Yang He encountered a cultivator who saw through his innate corpse qi body for the first time. Lu Ya Dao Ren should also be from the prehistoric era. Although it is not described in the original work, his background is certainly no weaker than Kong Xuan's.

Blood was seeping from his mouth and nose, and he became disoriented for a moment.

The moment Yang He returned to the main world, Lu Ya Dao Ren patted the red gourd, and immediately poured out crystal clear nectar.

The nectar transformed into a thin thread and fell into Yang He's mouth.

Yang He's previously scattered life force was directly locked up, and the spread of corpse spots also stopped, which made Lady Qiongxiao slightly dissatisfied.

"Senior, this is..."

"You don't need to address me as a senior; I can't bear it."

Lu Ya Daoist smiled and put away the red gourd. He touched Yang He's brow, and the corpse spots inside and outside the Niwan Palace disappeared in an instant.

"Fellow Taoist, I..."

Yang He's expression changed, but before he could shamelessly ask about the method to become an immortal, Daoist Lu Ya had already spoken up: "The Lady of Yunxiao let me into the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron so that she could impart the Daoist lineage to you."

"Thank you."

"No need for thanks. Unless you are a saint, you will die in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation. I am only using the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron to ward off disaster."

Lu Ya Daoist stroked his beard and said, “You are in sync with the Corpse Immortal realm, but there are differences among Corpse Immortals. I obtained three Corpse Immortal techniques in my early years.”

"Fellow Daoist, please elaborate."

Yang He still only had a superficial understanding of the method to become an immortal. The Ghost Immortal Method was actually derived from the later revival method. With the enlightenment from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he almost comprehended the method out of thin air.

"The first technique is the Nine Nether Corpse Dissolution Ascension Method."

Lu Ya Daoist raised his hand and made a gesture, and three wisps of pure energy flew out from the red gourd. The first thing that formed was the mysterious pattern of the Nine Nether Corpse Dissolution and Ascension to Immortality.

A skeleton, bathed in moonlight, exuded a chilling aura, gradually developing a jade-like luster.

"This is a corpse immortal who uses death to cultivate life. You were originally transformed from innate corpse energy. Cultivating this technique will be twice as effective with half the effort. From now on, it will be difficult for you to die."

Lu Ya Daoist shook his head slightly, "However, the Corpse Immortal is a relatively inferior one, and it will only become more and more difficult for him to sever the three corpses in the future."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately observed Yang He's expression, but the latter showed no concern for gain or loss.

"Let's talk about the 'Scorched Earth Drought Demon Burning the Heavens' scripture."

In the second picture, the land is scorched, and a charred corpse is reborn in the flames.
"This is a corpse immortal who reverses Yin and Yang. Do you know that the drought demon was transformed from the female demon?"

"Have heard a little bit."

Lu Ya Daoist said meaningfully, "Hanba was the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, but because she helped her father fight Chiyou, she was tainted with too much corpse energy and transformed into Hanba. The wonder of this kind of corpse immortal lies in..."

He suddenly pointed with both fingers, and the raging flames around the drought demon in the picture transformed into golden lotuses.

"Refining a corpse with fire can restore one to the primordial state. You are connected to the primordial corpse energy. When you cultivate to the extreme, you may be able to recreate the Dao body from the primordial era."

Yang He remained unmoved, while Lu Ya Daoist could not suppress the admiration in his eyes.

Your resolve is firm.

Little did Lu Ya Dao Ren know that Yang He thought neither of the two types of corpse immortals was anything special.

Immortal? Permanent characters can be resurrected by spending points, which already achieves immortality, and it doesn't matter if their body and soul are destroyed.

The Dao Body? Each version has its own god, so why don't we see immortal bodies in later generations? It's because mortal cultivation no longer requires any special qualifications. Who knows what the situation will be like in the next Journey to the West?

Instead of pursuing any particular Dao body, Yang He should focus on integrating different roles.

Previously, the three roles were combined to transform the Corpse Immortal Body into the Innate Corpse Qi Body. Perhaps the combination of ten roles could lead to the attainment of the Dao Body, which would only make it more compatible with oneself.

Lu Ya Daoist noticed that Yang He was unmoved by the first two methods of becoming an immortal, and a hint of amusement appeared between his brows. Then he waved his sleeve.

The third scene slowly unfolds.

There was nothing unusual in the picture except for a corpse standing in the void. "The third gate is called the Path of Immortality Corpse."

Lu Ya Dao Ren spoke in a calm tone, but Yang He could tell that the third method of becoming an immortal might be traced back to the primordial era, possibly taught by a sage.

"This method of achieving immortality is not special in any way."

Yang He frowned slightly. "Nothing special about it?"

“That’s right.” Daoist Lu Ya paused for a moment and continued, “This kind of Corpse Immortal is neither immortal like the Corpse Dissolution Immortal, nor does it burn the sky and boil the sea like the Drought Demon Immortal. Its only function is to make you… immortal.”

Yang He was taken aback. "Wouldn't that be no different from ordinary immortal cultivation?"

The Heavenly Court has no shortage of longevity-extending spiritual fruits, and the lifespan can easily be tens of thousands of years. For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, lifespan is actually not very meaningful.

Lu Ya Daoist said meaningfully, "The immortal corpse immortal's physical body grows with the passage of time, without any limit. After living for tens of thousands of years, your physical body is already like a world in itself."

Yang He licked his lips, thinking that he could just borrow the Three Corpse Daoist from three thousand years in the future.

The other shortcomings can be completely made up for through character fusion.

The longer you live, the more terrifying it becomes.

Lu Ya Daoist flicked his sleeve, and a large amount of resources poured out of the backyard. "Fellow Daoist, I suggest you choose Corpse Dissolution Immortal or Drought Demon Immortal. The Longevity Corpse Immortal has too many variables, and no one can know their own fate."

boom.

The lobby doors and windows were tightly closed, and the walls and floors were etched with intricate patterns.

Lu Ya Daoist took a few sips of wine and said, “Since I promised Lady Yunxiao, I will not go back on my word. After I teach you the method, it can help your physical body achieve the Corpse Immortal realm ahead of time.”

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "You became an immortal by using the poison of the Three Corpses to enhance your physical body. I don't know how Shen Gongbao was able to become an immortal either. It's a pity that the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation can't find his remnant soul."

"Let's go with the Longevity Corpse Path."

Yang He made a firm decision, and Lu Ya Daoist did not try to persuade him further.

He knew that this was an opportunity not to be missed. He had already reached the peak of the Returning to Nothingness Realm, and it was time to take advantage of the opportunity to become an immortal through physical cultivation and step into the Integration Realm.

Lu Ya Daoist raised his hand and made a hand seal, then touched Yang He's brow with his index finger.

The contents of the Longevity Corpse Path are infused into his Niwan Palace.

Yang He found the content obscure, each line and word feeling incredibly heavy, and the key point the whole text conveyed was... survival in the face of death.

However, unlike ghost immortals, the tribulations of ghost immortals are taken by their physical bodies.

Yang He still needs to undergo tribulation, so his physical body's early ascension to immortality is not pure. He needs to complete the tribulation stage to truly achieve the status of a long-lived corpse immortal.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me."

Suddenly, Lu Ya Dao Ren made a move, his five fingers like hooks piercing into Yang He's chest.

Instead of bleeding from the wound, wisps of gray mist emerged, then pierced the wall of the Blood and Flesh Taoist Temple, taking parts of bone and flesh from each.

With a simple refining process, flesh and bone are transformed into a white skeletal coffin.

boom!
Yang He was sealed inside the coffin of bones. The medicinal power of the elixir was exhausted, and corpse spots instantly covered his entire body. His yang fire was extinguished, and his life force was cut off.

Lu Ya Daoist bit his fingertip and drew talismans on the coffin.

Yang He's consciousness entered a strange state, and the Nuo Xiang ghost became extremely active, as if it had traversed three thousand years and come into contact with the Three Corpse Taoists of later generations.

The Three Corpse Taoists stretched as far as the eye could see, far surpassing even the likes of Old Master Bigan.

Yang He came to his senses and already understood the situation. He scanned the contents of the Longevity Corpse Path and inhaled the faint corpse energy emanating from himself.
