Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

"...Jin Guangyao's escape is not without benefit. At least you can use it to quickly identify who in the Jin family can be used by you immediately, and what their personalities are like."

Jin Ling today is just like Wei Wuxian and Jiang Wanyin sixteen years ago. They all lived an easy and happy life under the protection of their elders, and then suddenly encountered a huge change, and they had to step up and shoulder huge responsibilities.

Although Jiang Wanyin felt sorry for his nephew Jin Ling and provided him with great help in practical actions, he was just short of a mouth. There were some truths that Jin Ling was too late to comprehend, and it would be better for someone to tell him directly. Therefore, Shi Ying and Jiang Cheng took on this responsibility.

Of course, Jiang Wanyin did have doubts about Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying during that period, but when he saw Jiang Cheng directly draw out his sword Three Poisons, he was speechless and just turned around to write a letter to Wei Wuxian who was temporarily recuperating in the Cloud Recesses. As for the content of the reply, Jiang Cheng certainly didn't know it, but after that Jiang Wanyin directly asked Jin Ling to show junior respect to Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying, and also asked Jin Ling to treat Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying the same as himself.

For Jiang Cheng, the most important thing after helping Jin Ling to initially secure the position of the sect leader was to destroy the mass grave. As for Jin Guangyao who had escaped, he was actually not important at all. Even Qin Su had never thought about him in any way.

Shi Ying always followed Jiang Cheng's pace, so the two of them quickly returned to Yicheng. They prepared to enter the mass grave again, so as to understand the situation inside and formulate a suitable solution.

The situation at the mass graves in this world is even worse, and it seems that someone wants to turn these mass graves into extremely dangerous places. Countless monks and mortals die tragically in these mass graves every year.

July is the time of year when ghosts and corpses are most active in the mass graves. Cultivators can often avoid this time and enter the mass graves for training. Of course, this does not apply to those who boast of high cultivation or the support of immortal weapons. Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying are undoubtedly people who are not afraid of the turmoil of negative energy and resentment.

The closer they got to the inner perimeter of the mass grave, the heavier Jiang Cheng's mood became. Shi Ying also frowned and said, "Logically speaking, such a Jueyin place would only appear in the ghost world or the demon world, and it would never appear in the human world. Even a battlefield with corpses strewn all over the ground would not be able to gather such a strong yin energy, ghost energy, and resentment. It can be seen that this place must have been created by humans."

Jiang Cheng also told Shi Ying about his considerations: "I remember that Ah Xian and I joined forces with the Hundred Immortal Sects to obtain the complete Yin Iron. After offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, we returned the Yin Iron to the underworld. Later, the mass grave was also transformed into a place for cultivators to practice with the efforts of the Hundred Immortal Sects."

"The Yin Iron in this world has been destroyed. Even if Jin Guangyao refines it again later, it will only be an ordinary magic weapon. So I think the most urgent task is to find the Yin Iron first and let the Yin Qi and ghost Qi of this mass grave flow into the underworld."

Shi Ying agreed with this point very much. He had long wanted to say that there was something wrong with this world, but he did not expect that Jiang Cheng, a native with no memories, could see this clearly and even come up with a feasible solution.

Thinking of this, Shi Ying's eyes looked more and more gentle towards Jiang Cheng, which made Jiang Cheng feel a little embarrassed. He could only make an excuse to check the corpse in front and temporarily avoid her.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's change, Shi Ying felt overjoyed. In the previous world, Jiang Xinxin had no memory of the past, so as long as Shi Ying appeared at the right time, they could at least become husband and wife in the secular sense.

But this world is different. Although Jiang Cheng has lost many of his past memories, there was already a Wei Ying accompanying Jiang Cheng before Shi Ying appeared, and the two of them officially became Taoist companions.

So Shi Ying felt that if she didn't look somewhat similar to Wei Ying, she would not have many opportunities to get close to Jiang Cheng.

Under normal circumstances, Yin corpses usually remain motionless and will only move when they smell the breath of living things or are urged by humans.

Jiang Cheng deliberately released his Breath-Containing Technique and used his magic power to send his aura far away. The Yin corpse in front of him soon became restless.

In this world, under normal circumstances, after a person dies, the bones will rot over time, and the spirit and soul will leave the body with the death of the physical body.

However, if the circumstances are special, the consciousness and soul will not disappear with the passage of time because they are contaminated by negative energy or resentment. Instead, they will gain strength and turn into ghosts or resentful spirits.

The physical body will also stop decaying due to the erosion of Yin Qi and resentment, and will become harder. At a certain point, it will be completely refined into a Yin Corpse by the Yin Qi and resentment, chasing after Life and feeding on flesh and blood. Only by completely dispersing the Yin Qi and resentment in the physical body can the actions of the Yin Corpse be restricted. If one wants to completely destroy the Yin Corpse, one can only burn the body.

Jiang Cheng only needed to make a slight move to disperse the Yin energy and resentment, but burning the Yin corpses, especially in this mass grave, was a bit troublesome. After all, ordinary fire could not burn in a mass grave, and spiritual fire that was not high enough in level or quantity could easily be suppressed by the overwhelming Yin energy and resentment in the mass grave.

Jiang Cheng forgot that he possessed the karma fire, so he had to rely on Shi Ying to burn the Yin corpse for the time being.

Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying divided the work and worked together to sweep the inner area of ​​the mass grave. Fortunately, it was July and even the cultivators did not dare to approach the inner area, otherwise their high-profile actions would have spread to all the immortal sects and attracted a lot of spying.

However, the matter of Jin Guangyao was making a lot of noise outside, and the news that Jin Ling, a kid who was not even twenty years old, had quickly secured the position of the leader of the Jin clan was less well known. On the one hand, even though Qin Su hated and detested Jinlingtai, she was reluctant to let Jin Ling face everything about the Jin family and the hundreds of immortal families alone, so she stayed behind as the daughter of the Qin family to help Jin Ling stabilize the situation. On the other hand, she did not dare to go back to face her parents, and Jin Ling was her only relative at present.

However, the heavens did not pity her for her suffering, especially since Nie Huaisang had been looking for Jin Guangyao's flaws for years. Now he had finally laid everything out on the table, just to make Jin Guangyao disgraced and die miserably.

Therefore, Jin Guangyao, who was escorted by Su She all the way and originally planned to find a place where no one knew him to linger, was eventually forced to appear in front of the world again and accept the judgment from Nie Huaisang because Nie Huaisang took the mausoleum and tablet of his biological mother Meng Shi.

By the time the news of Jin Guangyao's tragic death in the Guanyin Temple in Yunping City reached Jiang Cheng's ears, it was already October on earth, the last season of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.
