Chapter 579: Chapter 276: Strange Corpse Puppet, Yuan Shun Appears Again

Han Yi suddenly stood up, his face changing several times, as a thought emerged in his mind.

At first glance, this thought seemed completely unrealistic, but how he wished that what he was thinking could be true.

Because.

Within the boundless Corpse Domain, the characteristics of the half-human, half-corpse Outer World Cultivator matched those of the long-missing Yuan Shun from Yu Heng World.

Was it a coincidence?

Or was it really Yuan Shun?

After Yuan Shun appeared in the Blood Demon battlefield on the site of the former Xuandan Sect, killing Jiang Jiuge and injuring Liu Su Monarch with a single blow, he disappeared without a trace.

Neither Qin Wuxian nor Si Hongxue nor any news in Yu Heng World could find traces of Yuan Shun again; this legendary sect master seemed to have evaporated from the world.

Speaking of which.

From Yuan Shun’s disappearance to the invasion of the Illuminating World’s Demon Cultivators, Han Yi, through a series of coincidences, was taken to the Illuminating World by the Devouring Sky Evil God. This period lasted about twenty years.

In these twenty years, Han Yi never heard any news about Yuan Shun. The only time Yuan Shun “appeared” was when Han Yi impersonated him in Shu Du to find out the cause of Qin Wuxian’s death.

Considering the ten years that Han Yi spent waiting in the Illuminating World for the passage between the two worlds to open, it had been a total of thirty years since Yuan Shun’s disappearance.

And now, in the faraway Tianquan World, he found traces that were suspiciously similar to Yuan Shun’s. This piece of information almost caught Han Yi off guard.

He looked down through the hollow skylight.

At this moment.

The middle-aged man downstairs finished sharing the seven important pieces of news within a month, and the cultivators around him, with various expressions, discussed eagerly or pondered deeply. The middle-aged man was about to leave the stage but stopped and then walked towards the rooftop.

A moment later, the middle-aged man approached Han Yi, saluted him with courtesy as a show of respect for a powerful cultivator, and spoke. It was this Gold Core cultivator who had just sent a message with his divine sense asking him to come up.

“Senior, do you have any instructions for me?”

Han Yi hadn’t deliberately concealed the aura of his Peak Golden Core cultivation, and the middle-aged man, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, understood the proper awe due to a stronger person.

Han Yi thought for a moment and asked his question.

“Of the seven pieces of news you just mentioned, one was about the arrival of the boundless Corpse Domain at the northernmost land of Tianquan World.”

“I wonder if there are any images or other information about the Outer World Cultivator who appeared in that Corpse Domain?”

The Foundation Establishment middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief that Han Yi didn’t inquire about other news but asked about the seven pieces he had mentioned. He knew quite a lot of details about these seven pieces; beyond those, he wouldn’t have known about other events.

Because these seven pieces of news had been carefully selected by the Purple Cloud Sect. Though they seemed like major events, they didn’t involve any hidden secrets and could be widely shared.

The middle-aged cultivator respectfully replied, “Senior, there is no image available of the Outer World Cultivator. However, considering that he was able to repel Lord Heavenly Phoenix, there is no doubt that the Cultivator must be a Spirit Transformation Expert.”

“Do you know the exact location of the Corpse Domain?” Han Yi asked again.

The middle-aged cultivator shook his head. “No.”

“However, since the Corpse Domain hasn’t dispersed, it should be quite large. It shouldn’t be difficult to inquire about it once you’re in the territory of Qianyuan Sect.”

Han Yi nodded, no longer asking questions. After giving quite a generous reward in Spirit Stones, he left. Behind him, the Foundation Establishment middle-aged man thanked him repeatedly. Three simple sentences had earned him a reward, and this Gold Core senior was so generous that he couldn’t help but feel elated.

Meanwhile.

Instead of heading back to his residence after leaving SanSheng Tavern, Han Yi ascended into the sky and released an Immortal Boat. This Immortal Boat, entirely black, was obtained from Qiu Yao’s Qiankun Ring, leader of the Seventh Black God. This Immortal Boat was called Black Emperor Immortal Boat.

Black Emperor Immortal Boat was a top-grade treasure and one of the three top-grade Immortal Boats Han Yi possessed. Moreover, it was the fastest among them.

Steering the Black Emperor Immortal Boat, Han Yi headed for the northern region.

Speaking of which.

The battle line between the two races in Tianquan World is winding, but the two ends of the line are located at the northernmost and southernmost lands, dividing the Tianquan World into territories of the two races.

The seven major human forces were located more or less close to the battle line. Going north from the Purple Cloud Sect, there were Refining God Hall, Yuxu Sect, and Qianyuan Sect; going south, there were Guiyuan Sect, Heavenly Sea Alliance, and Starsdwell Mountain.

From the start at Purple Cloud Immortal City, Han Yi went straight northward. Passing through four major forces, Han Yi basically traveled the same distance as his journey from Xuandan Sect to the northernmost Sword Cliff. On this journey, using his Peak Golden Core realm and commanding a top-grade Treasure Immortal Boat, Han Yi took almost half a month to reach the northernmost Qianyuan Sect.

For most of this time, Han Yi stayed far away from the battle line between the two races. Only in the territory of the Yuxu Sect did he travel along the battle line for a short distance, but he did not encounter any large-scale battles between the two races. He only witnessed several skirmishes between Evil Saints and Monarchs, which he avoided from a distance using his Immortal Boat, without getting involved.

This journey could be described as uneventful.

After arriving in Qianyuan Sect’s territory, Han Yi did not go to Qianyuan Immortal City, where the sect was located. Instead, he sought out a nearby Immortal City, entered it, and took only an hour before flying out. Within this hour, he had already asked about the location of the Corpse Domain.

In fact, it was not difficult for Han Yi to gather this information this time because news of the Corpse Domain’s existence had spread throughout the Qianyuan Sect’s territory.
