Shen Qiangwei’s corpse stood in front of Liang Zhaoyun.
This corpse had already been refined by Su Hantian.
Although it was only the most basic Iron Corpse, it could unleash 50% of its strength as a Silver Immortal.
Even Silver Immortals with 50% of their strength were stronger than many Heaven Immortals.
“Do you have the details of the battle?” Liang Zhaoyun asked.
Su Hantian shook his head. “This person cultivates the Dao of Array Formations. The battle happened in her array formations.
“In the end, she chose to self-destruct. At that time, I was worried that we would be affected, so we retreated.
“However, Qin Chuan had used some method to stop her self-destruction.
“When I returned, he gave me the corpse.”
Su Hantian continued, “Master, I also made an unexpected discovery while refining this corpse.”
Liang Zhaoyun frowned as he looked at Su Hantian.
Su Hantian said gravely, “There are fluctuations of the Law of Time on this corpse.”
Law of Time?
Liang Zhaoyun’s expression changed.
Su Hantian had not spoken carelessly. When he was refining Shen Qiangwei’s corpse, he had indeed discovered the fluctuations of the Law of Time.
Qin Chuan did this on purpose.
The Law of Time was one of the supreme laws.
Almost anyone who could comprehend the supreme laws would become an Immortal Emperor in the end. The most powerful kind at that.
Liang Zhaoyun fell into deep thought. There was a huge risk in offending someone who was likely to become an Emperor.
Su Hantian understood his Master’s thoughts.
When he discovered that there were fluctuations of the Law of Time on the corpse, he was extremely shocked.
The only person who had interacted with Shen Qiangwei was Qin Chuan.
Su Hantian knew very well how terrifying it was to provoke an enemy who had grasped the Law of Time.
“Master, this person must have grasped the Law of Time. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes an emperor.
“We don’t need to provoke a powerful enemy because of this, but if we work together with him, it will be a different story,” Su Hantian said.
Liang Zhaoyun thought for a moment. “What about the Beast Taming Corps? There are no less than ten Immortal Emperors in the Beast Taming Corps. Their influence covers more than half the universe.”
“Can we afford to provoke such a huge army? “
Su Hantian argued, “But he has comprehended the Law of Time. When he becomes an Emperor, he will be as invincible as the Destruction Emperor.
“And when he becomes a Heavenly Venerable, we Corpse Refiners will rule the Immortal realm. We can dig up the ancestral graves of anyone we want.”
Liang Zhaoyun said, “But he’s not an Immortal Emperor yet.
“Do you know how difficult it is to reach that realm?
“Even if he has extraordinary talent. Even if there are no bottlenecks on his cultivation path, it would still take several eras.
“Do you think we can afford to wait?”
“Master…” Su Hantian wanted to say something else, but it was true that the Corpse Refinement Faction couldn’t afford to wait.
Liang Zhaoyun said, “Hantian! Some things aren’t as simple as it seems.
“When you reach my realm, you will understand.”
Su Hantian felt that there was a hidden meaning behind these words and immediately asked, “Master, what are you trying to say? Are you hiding something from me?”
Liang Zhaoyun sighed and said slowly, “Forget it! You’ll find out sooner or later anyway, so I might as well tell you now!”
Liang Zhaoyun sat down on a stool and took a sip of tea before saying, “We cultivate the Dao of Corpse Refinement. We have 500 million years of history.
“During these 500 million years, we don’t know how many ancestral graves of the various factions in the Immortal realm have been dug up.
“Although they complain, they will not kill us all.
“But why is it different this time? Have you thought about it carefully?”
Su Hantian shook his head. He had never thought about this matter in detail.
He felt like the Immortal realm’s resentment towards the Corpse Refinement Faction had reached a certain level and erupted, and that was all.
Is that not the case?
Liang Zhaoyun said, “Hantian, you should have heard of the Great Tribulation?”
Su Hantian was taken aback.
He naturally knew about the Great Tribulation.
The Great Tribulation would happen once every hundred epochs. This was equivalent to changing all the blood in a body.
At that time, the entire universe would be purged, and billions of lives would be destroyed.
Only beings in the Immortal King realm have a chance of surviving.
Those who hadn’t reached the Immortal King Realm would basically be gone.
Su Hantian said, “Master, is our Corpse Refinement Faction’s predicament related to the Great Tribulation?”
Liang Zhaoyun nodded.
Su Hantian asked, “There is still half an epoch before the Great Tribulation.”
“You’re wrong, there’s only less than an epoch left.” Liang Zhaoyun spoke calmly.
Su Hantian’s entire body trembled as he asked in shock, “Master, what exactly is going on? Why is it less than an epoch?”
An epoch was a hundred million years.
Liang Zhaoyun shook his head slowly. “I’m not sure of the exact reason either, but I can clearly sense that the universe is moving towards a collapse. This is an omen of the impending Great Tribulation.”
“Then the Great Tribulation is related to the Corpse Refinement Faction?” Su Hantian asked in confusion.
“Of course not.”
“Then why are the Immortal realm moving to kill us?”
Su Hantian was even more confused.
Liang Zhaoyun was very patient. He said slowly, “That’s because they want to get the corpses that we refine.
“Our ancestors had created the Dao of Corpse Refinement to deal with the Great Tribulation and ensure survival.
“When the Great Tribulation comes, lightning and thunder tribulation will descend.
“This is unavoidable. The higher one’s cultivation, the stronger it will be. No one will be able to escape from it.
“During the Great Tribulation you will experience the cleansing of lightning and thunder tribulation in every moment. It will only stop when your soul dissipates.”
“The reason why we Corpse Refiners cultivate souls is to deal with the upcoming Great Tribulation.
“When it comes, the soul splits apart and possesses the various corpses.
“Our corpse refining methods mainly target the lightning and thunder tribulation, minimizing the damage caused by it.
“The higher the level of the corpse, the stronger the resistance.
“This also explains why the Corpse Refinement Faction is the natural enemy of all lightning cultivators.”
At this point, Su Hantian’s thoughts became clearer.
“Master, you mean that these people came to kill us for the corpses we refine?”
Liang Zhaoyun nodded and said, “That’s right.
“Think about it. We dug up their ancestral graves, but they didn’t even exterminate us for such an act that would incur great wrath.
“That’s because they know the function of the Corpse Refiners.
“Now that the Great Tribulation has been brought forward, it’s time for them to reel in their nets…”
“If that’s the case, we can just destroy the corpses and let them get nothing,” Su Hantian said with red eyes.
Liang Zhaoyun chuckled. “Hantian, you are cutting off your own path of retreat!
“We’re not at that stage yet.”
Su Hantian had only said those words in a fit of anger. If he was really told to deconstruct the corpse that he had worked so hard over, he wouldn’t be able to do it.
There was a moment of silence.
Su Hantian calmed down.
“Master, is there really no hope for this cooperation?” Su Hantian asked again.
Liang Zhaoyun said, “In terms of the benefits for us, there’s really no chance.
“Even if I agree, what about the others?
“I’m only an Immortal King. I only have that little bit of authority. “
“I understand.” Su Hantian understood Liang Zhaoyun’s stance.
He took out a jade talisman from his storage ring.
This was given to him by Qin Chuan.
“Fellow Daoist Su, if the higher-ups of your sect don’t agree, you only need to crush this jade talisman and they will know what to do.” Qin Chuan said..
