I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 1250: Chapter 542: Demonic Path Chapter 1250: Chapter 542: Demonic Path “`
The determination of Gu Han, with a demon skin and Buddha’s bones, was as ironclad; even if a strong cultivator of the King Realm claimed that the path of Corpse and Zen Dual Cultivation could not lead to enlightenment, he would only scoff disdainfully and then follow his own path.

Yet a mere casual remark from Yanshan left Gu Han’s complexion ashen, because he understood exactly what the other was implying.

Only geniuses can understand the world of geniuses; why else would a Zen Buddha Son with a bright future turn to the Demon Path and defect from the Sect, if not for the same issue discovered by Yanshan?

It’s just that Gu Han’s thinking was even more radical, believing that the single exclusivity of Vow Power was too limited; relying solely on the accumulation of this one type of power could not lead to a complete qualitative breakthrough. Only by finding and integrating other powers could he find the way forward.

In his quest to find a spiritual power that could merge with the Zen Sect’s Vow Power Buddha Light, Gu Han read through the Sect’s archives and made an astonishing discovery.

The only power that could merge with Vow Power Buddha Light was the deathly aura of corpses. However, cultivators who practiced this aura were without exception aligned with true evil and heterodoxy, which made him hesitate.

Therefore, those who dabble in Corpse Refiner techniques, inverting the natural order of human relationships, are disliked by all, for the principle that the dead should be honored above all else is the foundation of all rites and moral laws—disregard for the deceased implies that all teaching on propriety is but empty talk. Even the mighty Wang Clan of the south take utmost care during corpse refinement, fearing they might provoke public indignation.

After all, corpse refinement during the resistance against the Demon Race could be justified as a righteous cause for the Human Race, but now that the Human Race is thriving in martial dominance, further corpse refinement would only serve the powerful’s selfish desires. Nowadays, the majority of the Wang Clan’s Yin-Yang Masters employ spirits, and even those who practice with corpses do so only with the bodies of utterly wicked individuals or in utmost secrecy.
