Wei Tiande had been observing Zhao Hai. He saw Zhao Hai frown at first after seeing the contents of the jade slip, then he slowly became more and more interested. Then finally, Zhao Hai showed joy. While Wei Tiande was wondering about what was going on, Zhao Hai suddenly laughed, “Hahahaha. So, it’s actually like this. Different spiritual qi attributes can transform. Hahaha. Good technique! This technique is worth learning!” After that, Zhao Hai no longer paid attention to Wei Tiande. He directly sat down and closed his eyes.

Wei Tiande stared upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words. Then his complexion changed. He didn’t expect Zhao Hai to realize the strongest point of the fist technique in such a short time.

Seeing Zhao Hai close his eyes, Wei Tiande knew that he was going into another period of seclusion. At the same time, Wei Tiande began to believe Zhao Hai’s words – he was indeed a genius.

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai and let out a sigh. Then he slowly walked towards the door of the room. He waved his hand and activated the formation of the room. He also took out a jade plate and hung it outside. The jade plate would inform everyone that he was in seclusion and shouldn’t be disturbed.

After Wei Tiande completed these things, he looked at Zhao Hai before returning to his quiet room and meditated. Wei Tiande wanted to see if Zhao Hai could learn the Corpse Fist.

Time slowly passed. Before long, it has been a month since Zhao Hai closed his eyes. All this time, he didn’t make a single movement. Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai’s state, but he didn’t worry. He knew that Zhao Hai had gained enlightenment from the technique. Although Zhao Hai wouldn’t be affected if he was disturbed, it would hold his cultivation back if he stopped.

A month later, Wei Tiande glanced at Zhao Hai and found that Zhao Hai was still the same. As he was preparing to return to his quiet room, he saw Zhao Hai suddenly opening his eyes. Then Zhao Hai stood up and began to punch. The punches looked weird. Every move looked very stiff as though a corpse was performing them.

The punches were very slow in the beginning before picking up speed. As the punches became quicker and quicker, the sound of ghosts was heard throughout the room.

Seeing this development, Wei Tiande was shocked. He didn’t expect Zhao Hai’s perception to be this high. He was able to practice the technique to this point in such a short time. It was astonishing.

Wei Tiande was startled. Not only because Zhao Hai practiced the Corpse Fist to a high level, it was also because Zhao Hai had slowly used the Heavenly Demon Claw. The Corpse Fist and the Heavenly Ghost Demon Claw were being fused together. Although the fusion was a bit jerky at first, it became smoother and smoother. Finally, three techniques became fused, turning into a new set of techniques.

After the three techniques were fused, Zhao Hai stopped. He let out a long breath and slowly closed his eyes. Then he fell backwards and fell to the ground.

Wei Tiande was stunned. He immediately ran to Zhao Hai’s side. He thought that Zhao Hai had gone mad from practicing. But as soon as he arrived beside Zhao Hai, Wei Tiande didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Zhao Hai didn’t go mad, Wei Tiande was sure of this. He lived for a long time, he has never seen someone snore after going mad from cultivation.

Wei Tiande smiled bitterly as he waved his hand and used his qi to throw Zhao Hai towards the lounge chair.

Although Wei Tiande’s actions looked impolite, his expression was happy. He was finally certain that Zhao Hai was a one in a ten thousand year genius.

Zhao Hai rested for three days. Actually, Zhao Hai was only partially in seclusion. He was partly pretending to be focused. Zhao Hai knew what Wei Tiande was doing every day. Zhao Hai also knew that he wasn’t really a member of the Battle Corpse Sect. Although he seemed to have passed out, he was still paying attention to what’s happening around him.

Zhao Hai wasn’t only comprehending the Corpse Fist. He’s also trying to integrate the technique with his mind. He also tasked the Space to extend the technique to the rest of his spiritual qi attributes. His goal was to integrate all of his attributes into one, forming a whole.

In the past, whenever Zhao Hai used spiritual qi, he would do so according to the Stellar Transformations Art. However, Zhao Hai’s spiritual qi contained all of the attributes. In terms of each attribute, Zhao Hai’s spiritual qi was ordinary. Whenever he fought against someone, he would only use one attribute. The other spiritual qi attributes would be idle.

But now it was different. Zhao Hai can completely fuse the spiritual qi attributes in his body. In the past, Zhao Hai was akin to having multiple knives but could only use one of them at a time. But now, all of the knives have fused together to become a more powerful blade. Naturally, the blade’s lethality was greater.

Although a month wasn’t short, Zhao Hai hasn’t actually fused all of his spiritual qi attributes. There was still a bit of spiritual qi that has yet to fuse. This was Zhao Hai’s choice. He felt that once he fused all of his spiritual qi, he would break through to the Earth Monarch Stage.

Zhao Hai wasn’t planning on becoming an Earth Monarch now. Therefore, he didn’t fust all of his spiritual qi. Firstly, the time wasn’t right. He’s currently inside the Battle Corpse Sect. If an unforeseen event happened when breaking through to Earth Monarch, then Zhao Hai would be in danger. Even if his breakthrough went properly, his identity might be exposed.

Moreover, Zhao Hai knew that entering the Earth Monarch Stage right now wouldn’t do him any good. If he cultivated according to his methods, it would take a while for him to enter the Earth Monarch Stage. This was because he still needs to accumulate spiritual qi in all his attributes. Once this accumulation was done, he would enter the Earth Monarch Stage. This would give him the strongest breakthrough he could. If he broke through now, his total spiritual qi would be less than what it should be.

Zhao Hai doesn’t like incomplete things, so he chose to delay entering the Earth Monarch stage. He stayed as a cultivator in the Soul Fusion Stage. In the end, he fused with the Corpse Fist first before combining it to the Ghost Shadow Claw and then to the Heavenly Demon Claw. Finally, he blended all three techniques together.

Once the three techniques were fused, Zhao Hai finally relaxed. He was also exhausted, not in body but in spirit.

Because of this, Zhao Hai chose to fall to the ground to see what reaction Wei Tiande would have.

Seeing that Wei Tiande didn’t hurt him, Zhao Hai relaxed. Then he felt relieved and rested for three entire days.

Three days later, Zhao Hai woke up and looked around him. He discovered that he was in a strange room. He immediately sobered up and jumped down from the couch. He cast a water ball and washed his hair and face before walking out.

Wei Tiande was sitting inside the living room with a jade slip in his hand. Seeing Zhao Hai come out, he coldly snorted and said, “So you finally woke up. I thought you would sleep forever.”

Zhao Hai awkwardly smiled and said, “I’m sorry, Master. I have been disrespectful.”

Wei Tiande snorted and then waved his hand, “Alright, sit down.” Zhao Hai complied and sat down.

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai for a while before he laughed, “Good! Little Ling, I didn’t expect you to actually be a genius. I saw your Corpse Fist and saw that you practiced it very well. Most importantly, you were able to fuse the Corpse Fist with the Ghost Shadow Claw and the Heavenly Demon Claw. I must say, I’m envious of you right now.”

Zhao Hai showed an embarrassed smile as he said, “I made Master laugh. This disciple sometimes forgets the time when I practice techniques. Master, can I ask how long I’ve been out?”

Wei Tiande chuckled and said, “How long you spent didn’t matter. In any case, your strength has increased. It’s just the right time. The sect has a mission for you.”

Zhao Hai stared, then he immediately replied, “Yes Master.”

Wei Tiande proceeded, “This is a risky mission. You are to assassinate a talent of the Whispering Ghost Sect. This person is less than 30 years old, but he already reached the Soul Fusion Stage. Such a person couldn’t be allowed to continue living. The Whispering Ghost Sect’s relationship with the Battle Corpse Sect isn’t going very well. So, this time, the sect wants you to kill that genius.”

Zhao Hai frowned, “Master, since that person is a talent of the Whispering Ghost Sect, then he should be heavily protected by the sect. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance. Moreover, if I’m discovered, the two sects will be at war.”

Wei Tiande replied, “That’s why it’s called an assassination. You understand? I don’t care what method you use, but you must make sure that the talent of the Whispering Ghost Sect stops living. You are a new face in the sect, nobody will trace you back to us. What do you think? Can you do it?”

Hearing Wei Tiande, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Even if he doesn’t want to go, does he have a choice? Therefore, he cupped his fist towards Wei Tiande and said, “Yes, Master. The next time you see him, he will be an undead. Please wait for the good news.” After he said that, he cupped his fist to Wei Tiande once more before leaving.

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “Whether you’re a dragon or a worm, now it’s up to you.”
