The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 974 - 383: The Corpse Hiding Palace, Superior Grade Corpse_3

The Corpse Shura Girl, using soul transmission, carefully introduced everything.

Ye Hanjun, while examining the young white peacock, realized that the Corpse Shura Girls seemed to have undergone professional training.

Moreover, they were required to explain in detail and were not allowed to evade or simplify matters; it was as if they were seriously and stringently propagating a certain culture.

"This is the Ancestor of the Eye Spider clan, hailing from the Near Ancient Era’s Third Epoch..."

"This is the rare Snowball Demon; due to its melting properties upon death, preserving its corpse is extremely difficult..."

"This is the Red-lipped Tadpole, a marine species with enchanting abilities; it became completely extinct in the West Sea during the Near Ancient Era’s Eighth Epoch..."

"This is the Tsunami Merman, who can control the rise and fall of seawaters just by opening its mouth; suspected to be extinct since the New Era’s First Epoch..."

...

The Corpse Shura Girl did not face any issues of dry mouth or tongue, the more she introduced, the more vibrant the emotions contained in her mental fluctuations became.

From her explanations, Ye Hanjun learned that the museum’s exhibits were categorized into four grades: lower, middle, upper, and special, with quality and rarity increasing respectively.

If one were to truly start from the beginning and elaborately introduce the biography of each corpse, embodying the exhibits with stories, it would take at least half a year.

"Could you take us directly to see the special-grade exhibits?"

Mu Shoucong couldn’t help himself.

Some of the knowledge was irrelevant to them, and some they were already familiar with.

What was the point in continuously appreciating the bodies of lower beings?

"Please."

The leading Corpse Shura Girl, extending her decayed palm.

The Corpse Boat moved again, traversing an extensive distance, and after a while, arrived deep within the hall.

Before the introduction could begin, Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying, as if by tacit agreement, locked onto a particular coffin.

"Damn it, has to be kidding!"

Mu Shoucong was startled and nearly fell off the boat.

The coffin housed a handsome man with wavy golden hair, a well-tailored black suit, and shiny pointed boots... bearing at least a seventy percent resemblance to Bertnar, how could it not shock Mu Shoucong?

"Are you interested in him?"

The Corpse Shura Girl perked up and introduced solemnly:

"This is Vampire Prince Anrabeta."

"He was born in the Azure Abyss and once royalty there; his progeny transformed by him, numbering in the thousands, are countless."

"Unfortunately, his brilliance offended the Supreme Clan of Azure, leading to the slaughter of his entire clan."

"For this reason, my master spent great efforts and finally acquired him from another merchant, listing him among the special-grade exhibits..."

"I knew it, doesn’t look like that guy."

Mu Shoucong patted his chest, relieved.

At a glance, it was incredibly striking.

The bloodline gene ingrained in the Clan of Vampires is truly twisted.

"Anrabeta? I’ve never heard this name; which epoch did he belong to?" Mu Shoucong muttered.

"The Ancient Era’s Ninth Epoch."

The Corpse Shura Girl bowed slightly, clarifying.

"That’s ancient indeed..."

Mu Shoucong was choked up.

From such an ancient era, it might be some distant relative of Bertnar’s ancestors, with no way to trace the blood relation.

"Yes, a False God had sealed his corpse, for fear that he would resurrect through blood."

"Until completely dead, with no chance of reincarnation, the sealed coffin had changed hands numerous times over a span of 130,000 years..."

"Hmm..."

Mu Shoucong hesitated, then still asked,

"May I discreetly ask if it’s still possible to transfer your lord of corpses’ collection?"

"I have a friend who is also of the Blood Clan. If he could devour the residual blood essence of the Ancient Era’s Blood Clan, perhaps there might be even further possibilities..."

"Hey..."

Ye Liuying tugged at Mu Shoucong’s arm, hesitating to speak.

The Ghost Lamp had plummeted for an entire epoch, and even though the Blood Clan and Mu Shoucong were long-lived species, whether they could survive until the Third Era of the Newborn Era was still a question.

With this precondition, even if they got their hands on Anrabeta’s corpse, they couldn’t give it away.

If they weren’t careful with its preservation, it might be ruined in vain, with hardly any real significance.

"No."

The three Corpse Shura Girls looked at each other and said in unison,

"Up to now, once an item becomes part of the lord of corpses’ collection, it has never been sold a second time."

"However, if you could become good friends with the lord of corpses, she might willingly gift you a treasured object, without any desire for money or resources, as a symbol of friendship."

"Quite loyal and righteous, isn’t she?"

Mu Shoucong plucked at the scallion atop his head, his eyes moving around, pondering some mischievous idea.

"What about that one over there? How did you acquire it?"

"I must say, your lord of corpses is really strange, despite her clan facing peril, she keeps all these priceless corpses for mere appreciation, truly a waste of heavenly gifts."

Mu Shoucong pointed to another coffin 500 meters away, his eyes fixed, and his green lips smacked back and forth without concealing his amazement.

"Please speak cautiously, sir!"

The Corpse Shura Girl looked serious and solemnly cautioned,

"It’s not up to outsiders to worry about how our clan develops!"

"If you continue to criticize, attracting the attention of the tomb guards, leaving here unharmed will be quite difficult!"

"My apologies, no offense meant!"

Mu Shoucong chuckled, the increasingly tense atmosphere suddenly dissolving with his laughter.

The Corpse Shura Girl also sighed in relief internally. After steering the corpse boat, she pointed at that coffin and introduced seriously,

"This is the Water Sorceress Holy Maiden."

"In the Ancient Era, ruler of the Cloud Sea, once known as the ’Water Witch God.’

After the Water Witch God perished, Her descendants were purged, a small faction fled to the East Sea, attempting to gather strength in a new place."

"Unfortunately, they failed."

"During the mid-period of the Near Ancient Era, their bloodline lost divinity, degrading to ’Water Sorceress Holy Maidens.’"

"This corpse belongs to one of them, it has always been preserved within our clan, and as we wandered to the West Sea... ultimately became one of the lord of corpses’ collection."
