Chapter 376: Why Can You Still Imagine Things When You’re a Corpse?

"That's how it happened, Elder. The Mad Lion Sect is truly despicable for taking advantage of our Blood Rose Society and the Yin Snake Sect," Zuo Qiuqing said indignantly.

Beside her, a voluptuous woman looked at Qin Muye's corpse with disbelief in her eyes. "Are you sure this is just an ordinary person? Even in death, he exudes a powerful aura. If we were to face off, I would only have a fifty percent chance of winning!"

'Not that I’ve tricked another fool, but my aura of strength has upgraded again.' While feigning death, Qin Muye glanced at his aura of strength, which was now +3. This temporary skill was truly a pitfall; it upgraded with every victory, unlike other skills that became harder to upgrade as their level increased.

'Judging by this, it looks like it will upgrade again.'

Qin Muye sighed inwardly. He had figured out that this aura of strength was not just a causality skill but also a snowballing skill. Once it started upgrading, it would never stop.

Even lying here as a corpse, his level would continue to rise steadily.

The elder of the Blood Rose Society was currently one of those who had been tricked. Now, all he had to do was wait for the judgment from The Age of Lords to upgrade his skill.

Then he would be a powerful corpse.

"This is impossible, Elder. I killed him with one move; he didn't even have a chance to resist," Zuo Qiuqing immediately objected. Initially, she had thought so, but now, after his death, she was not so sure.

"Is that so? Take a look at his corpse. You said you pierced his head, but where is the hole now?" The elder’s expression was calm as he spoke.

Only then did Zuo Qiuqing realize that the wound on the other's forehead had healed.

'Damn, if I don’t seal this brain hole, you’d be in for a surprise. My reputation would skyrocket to double digits at least.' Qin Muye was helpless. He wanted to keep the brain hole open, but his inexplicable taboo wouldn’t allow it.

"Elder, could it be that he didn’t die?" Zuo Qiuqing’s muscles tensed. She had brought a powerful martial artist back to their lair. If he were to suddenly attack, it could lead to the instant death of most Blood Rose Society members.

"No, he’s dead, but his powerful martial will and body make his corpse seem alive. He’s definitely an old monster among martial artists, even his corpse exudes an aura that makes my heart race. In life, he was undoubtedly a dominant force in both the Martial and Secret Spirit worlds," the elder explained.

"But how did I kill him!" Zuo Qiuqing was horrified.

Such a terrifying existence had been taken down by her in one move.

'My aura of strength is now +4. At this rate, I’ll become a big shot even as a corpse.' Qin Muye glanced at his skill bar. Clearly, the elder of the Blood Rose Society had been tricked by his imagination, leading to the judgment that Qin Muye had won.

"Perhaps, it wasn’t you who killed him, but he wanted to die. Such a powerful martial artist, the word 'invincible' is enough to describe his life. When the entire world has no equal, loneliness becomes a fatal poison for martial artists. He left his legacy to Li Xiang, free of all ties, and chose to end his own life. You merely finished the job."

"Otherwise, with your secret technique, how could you possibly injure him?"

The elder glanced at Zuo Qiuqing, his tone tinged with a hint of regret.

"No wonder he became a convenience store owner. For such an invincible being, the world is indeed too boring." Zuo Qiuqing suddenly understood. She had been trying to understand a world-class existence with the mindset of a weakling, which was impossible.

'Is it that the people in this world are too good at imagining things, or is it because of my cursed aura of strength?'

Qin Muye, lying there, was momentarily at a loss. What kind of people were these? He hadn’t done anything, yet he had become an invincible, lonely, and cold existence.

"What should we do? Bury him?" Zuo Qiuqing asked curiously.

'Yes, bury me, then I—'

Before Qin Muye could finish his thought, the elder spoke. "No, it’s too much of a waste to bury such a powerful corpse. I’ve already informed the president, who is on his way back. If our Blood Rose Society can uncover the secrets of this supreme martial artist’s corpse, we will surely become a dominant force among secret spirit organizations."

"If such a powerful corpse is buried, it would be a huge loss. Even if we can't use it ourselves, we can always pass it on to other martial arts sects. After all, everyone wants to uncover the secrets of how to become stronger from such a powerful individual."

Zuo Qiuqing immediately understood upon hearing this. Indeed, the elder was no ordinary person to have reached such a position.

'Are people these days so reckless???' Qin Muye didn't mind their research, as the body he was in wasn't his own but Xuan Jun's. However, even Xuan Jun was not someone they could casually study. The "Seven Chapters of Xuan Jun's Secret Codex" had already been infused into this body when it was created, making it a replica. The original was now a territory trait in the Endless Abyss.

Even if it was just a replica, it was personally copied by Qin Muye. Whether they could deduce the general principles or the seven volumes of the secret codex from this body, it would at least be a large-scale disaster for the world.

As for deducing anything else, that was impossible. Xuan Jun's body only contained these secrets. The idea of dissecting or experimenting with it for scientific development was something Qin Muye didn't think these secret spirit masters would consider.

Qin Muye had noticed that these secret spirit masters were different from martial artists. If martial artists were hard-core practitioners who trained their breath internally and their muscles and bones externally, these secret spirit masters were essentially luck-based emperors.

Each of them had a secret spirit residing within their body, like the blood rose Zuo Qiuqing had displayed. Their strength was built upon the symbiosis with these secret spirits, from the local to the whole, forming a cultivation method similar to martial artists but with a unique twist.

Compared to martial artists, secret spirit masters lacked in physical attributes but were more versatile in their abilities and could borrow environmental forces to some extent.

Thus, the two factions were currently evenly matched.

In terms of general applicability, Qin Muye leaned more towards martial artists, as they had minimal dependence on energy environments.

However, in practical application, he preferred secret spirit masters. The reason was simple: if he found the corresponding principles, he could modify them. Martial arts, on the other hand, required personal cultivation. Even if he could engineer the corresponding strength, without martial will, one could not be considered a true martial artist.

Martial will was highly subjective, making it difficult for Qin Muye to study. It required significant investment of time and resources.

In contrast, Ji Shan had a notable understanding of martial will, though it was just his perspective. He planned to use martial will to create a new divine technique, which sounded quite impressive.

Qin Muye didn't stop him, allowing him to continue his research, which was said to combine the understanding of spirit realms. If successful, when they returned to the Sorcerer Dynasty server, Ji Shan would enter the spirit realm and achieve the Dao.

This might help in dealing with the threat of high-dimensional demons.

'Well, lying here isn't so bad. At least my reputation won't inflate too much,' Qin Muye thought. He decided to continue being a corpse.

If he ran away and continued causing chaos, his powerful aura might lead to a significant boost in his reputation. As a corpse, even if it changed hands multiple times, it would only circulate among secret spirit masters and martial artists, limiting the rise in his reputation. After all, the majority of the population were ordinary people.

Thus, the increase in his reputation would primarily affect ordinary people, and his powerful aura would only influence the extraordinary, not the common folk. Being a corpse would prevent him from being challenged by extraordinary beings.

If he were still alive and an extraordinary being challenged him, and ordinary people witnessed it, it would certainly cause a stir.

Now, as a corpse, he might end up in the Blood Rose Society's treasure vault, saving him a lot of trouble. He could also remotely control his shadow gear in the Endless Abyss to conduct various experimental projects, making it a win-win situation.

Even if the Blood Rose Society were destroyed, his body, being a supreme treasure, would be taken by other factions and protected by specialized security personnel.

No matter how he looked at it, he was the one benefiting.
