Reborn right after ascending to immortality?

Chapter 45 Even An Sheng was afraid

"The Corpse Soul Sect is the youngest of the four great demonic sects, but it is also the fastest-growing rising star. It uses corpses to enter the Dao and souls to prove the Dao. It is skilled in the art of splitting the soul and seizing bodies."

After Bai Susu led An Sheng on a tour of the two demonic sects, she said with a cold expression.

The great achievements of the late Emperor are worthy of being passed down to future generations and should be celebrated by these younger generations.

Although she herself could not remember these great achievements, only a vague impression remained.

"To be honest, their sect leader, the Corpse Soul Emperor, once worked under me."

In a way, he's still your senior brother. That most masterful method of possession was achieved by imitating my divine essence, guided by me.”

Before Bai Susu could finish speaking, An Sheng felt that there was no need to visit the Corpse Soul Sect.

He still remembered the description of the spell on the Impermanence Contract: the Dividing Spirit Spell.

First author: Bai Susu.

The second author is the Grand Elder of the Soul Cultivation Hall of the Impermanent Sect, an expert who has mastered the study of soul division over three thousand years, and a Soul Emperor.

You stole someone else's paper.

Academic possession!

"Let's go take a look, let's go take a look!"

"I am highly respected by my subordinates and am known as the Grandmaster of All Ages."

Bai Susu's cold expression vanished, and she started throwing a tantrum like a little kid who hadn't gotten a toy. She grabbed An Sheng's hand and started rolling around on the ground, saying, "We're already here, it's free anyway."

Since we're already here, and it's free anyway...

The so-called Great Way is formless and the Great Image is silent. These simple words contain the truth of the world, and no one can refuse these eight words of truth.

After all, come here.

It's free anyway.

Mei Yun also wanted to visit; this must be the most sinister and terrifying sect.

An Sheng listened to Bai Susu's evil words and went with Mei Yun to the mountain gate of the Corpse Soul Sect branch.

The Corpse Soul Sect is different from other demonic sects. It is located in a school, and apart from its exaggeratedly large size, it looks just like an ordinary university in Kunlun.

A deathly atmosphere permeated the air.

Its eeriness is even more terrifying than that of a cemetery.

The demonic cultivators here also dress as students, wearing blue and white prison uniforms. They go to school and come home every day, run in the morning, read aloud at 8 a.m., and check in for afternoon and evening self-study sessions. All kinds of activities are included, and they are all well-behaved and hardworking.

The morning runs are about driving corpses, the morning readings are about rebirth mantras, the professors are all old corpses from the countryside, and there's a declaration of determination posted above the classroom: "A Hundred Years of Corpse Killing," meaning that if you can't kill the old corpses after a hundred years of imprisonment here, you can't graduate.

"Why is it called the Corpse Soul Sect?"

A bald headmaster answered An Sheng's question.

"Oh, this is a name that our sect leader specially chose to remember our mentor, but it was registered incorrectly by Fengdu."

Bai Susu listened with a proud look on her face, and glanced at An Sheng triumphantly, thinking, "Look how much my former disciple respects me. You should learn from him."

"His real name is Shi Hunzong."

"Master means bastard."

An Sheng nodded. He really was a bastard.

"This is also the teaching philosophy of our Soul Reaper Sect."

The head of student affairs sized up An Sheng and Mei Yun, and thought they were both promising students.

"The two of you who are interested in joining our branch school's preparatory class will be taught using the same teaching methods as the ancient immortal 'Immortal of Impermanence', a 100% replica."

"If you get good grades, you'll still have a chance to get into the main campus."

"If you agree, you can pledge your soul here as tuition. Don't worry, a person's soul has three spirits and six souls. Losing a few souls will not affect your daily studies, just like a person has two kidneys and two lungs. They can be pledged."

Mei Yun asked curiously, "So what are you going to do with our souls?"

"Oh, it's because Fengdu has issued a new education policy that every dormitory and cell in Jiuyou must hire ghost spirits as air conditioners."

The head of the teaching department explained with a smile.

"Our Corpse Soul Sect's education funds are quite tight, so in order to meet the targets, we have no choice but to extract students' souls to use as air conditioners." Mei Yun's face turned pale instantly. He had visited the three major demonic sects. The Holy Buddha Sect was actually a loan sharking sect, the Qiongqi Sect was actually a civil engineering and real estate sect, and the Corpse Soul Sect was the only one that did not deviate from its original setting. It was even more sinister and terrifying than he had imagined.

"The Corpse Soul Sect cultivates both corpses and souls."

The head of the teaching department continued.

"When we enroll in the Corpse Soul Sect, we need to actively refine our bodies into zombies and control their actions with the instructions on the talismans."

"This also has its advantages. First, inanimate objects can be exempted from the tax on spiritual practice, and second, it helps students concentrate on their studies."

“Look over there, these are all students from regular classes, they’re all white zombies.”

"Those with the worst grades are all idiots."

An Sheng looked at the playground, where several groups of students were running exercises. Their faces were pale and translucent, with fine downy hair around them. Their bodies were stiff and unable to jump, only able to move horizontally. There were talismans on their heads that read 'Run five hundred laps around the playground'.

The instructions on the talisman must be followed, even if some zombies are too weak to run and have broken legs, they still crawl forward on the ground.

There are several levels of zombies, the lowest being the white zombie, which cannot jump and can only move horizontally.

“Look at the students in the skip-grade class over there. They are a level above the regular classes. These skip-grade students are all geniuses who can skip grades.”

Following the prompts, An Sheng looked around and, sure enough, they were all geniuses who could skip grades.

Rows and rows of zombies hopped up and down the steps.

"They're all green zombies. If you perform exceptionally well, the sect will spend resources to refine you from the lowest-level white zombie to a green zombie. Green zombies can then skip around and advance."

"Of course, the most outstanding students are the top students in our rocket class."

Speaking of his beloved students, the head of discipline was incredibly proud, "They are all top-notch flying zombies!"

"Our cultivation resources are not comparable to those of Kunlun students. If we want to pass the Foundation Establishment exam, we can only get ahead by working hard."

This teaching method is indeed advanced.

An Sheng nodded in agreement. The greatest taboo in cultivating immortality is a wavering mind, being indecisive, or going astray in cultivation. The greatest taboo in learning is having one's own thoughts. But since the students mortgaged their souls and transformed themselves into zombies, they no longer had these kinds of troubles.

The school arranged what each age should do by posting talismans.

An Sheng looked at the stack of talismans in the head teacher's drawer, their time divisions detailed down to the millisecond, showing that everything from studies to daily life was arranged.

In terms of learning, everything is provided, from the daily schedule to the volume of morning reading, from physical exercise techniques to the stride length of running.

In terms of daily life, everything is included, from the time of waking up to the speed of eating, from the frequency of breathing to the rhythm of the catheter.

4点0分0秒起床，4点10秒开始以20.51分贝的音量、200米每秒的速度开始晨跑.3点59分结束修行，上床休息，睡前以40次每秒的速度，5秒内排出压力4点0分0秒起床。

"So, you two, let's enroll now." The headmaster of studies was beaming with excitement. "If you enroll now, you can get a 30% discount on corpse refining!"

An Sheng and Mei Yun fled the Corpse Soul Sect as if they were escaping.

Even after leaving the sect, An Sheng still felt the emotions of surviving a calamity.

He had heard of the Corpse Soul Sect's infamous reputation in his previous life, and now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he could only say that it truly lived up to its name.

"Is this how you used to teach your disciples?" An Sheng questioned Bai Susu fiercely, his face dark. The truth was finally revealed. "So you're the root of all evil! You're the one who corrupted the atmosphere of the Nine Netherworld Education Circle."

Bai Susu scratched her head and said, "Hey."

"There's only one demonic sect left."

Mei Yun's face was filled with despair. Wei Men was too terrifying. All he wanted now was to go home. "Are we still going? I'd rather die than go!"

"Forget it," An Sheng said, also backing down.

"What was the last demonic sect again?"

“The Hehuan Sect,” An Sheng said.

"How about we go take a look?"

Mei Yun sighed softly, her eyes reflecting the swordsman's elegance and loneliness.

"Giving up halfway is not my style."

　I recommend a friend's new book, a light novel.
