"Has a Divine Ability broken through?"

"Which Martial Sovereign? How long has he been in Corpse Demon Mountain? He actually achieved a breakthrough!"

"This Martial Sovereign's Life Wheel is terrifying. And its Divine Ability is no ordinary one."

Those who could enter Corpse Demon Mountain were worldly. They recognized the manifestation of Lin Fei's Divine Ability breaking through, causing his Life Wheel to materialize.

Lin Fei opened his eyes, noticing the Life Wheel above him, especially the luminous layer representing the Black Wind Prison. Generally, the brighter and larger the glow, the stronger the Divine Ability. Although his Black Wind Prison had just reached mastery, its subsequent levels were transcendence and perfection. Yet, its current brilliance was already so immense, underscoring its exceptional nature.

Had Lin Fei not threatened the Black Wind Prison with fire, perhaps it wouldn't have become his Divine Ability. No one from the Ancient Origin Sect had ever mastered the Black Wind Prison, so its potency remained unknown. To Lin Fei, this Divine Ability was much more powerful than the Wind Sovereign's Mountain Collapse, not even on the same level.

"The origin of Black Wind Prison must be extraordinary," Lin Fei murmured. By now, he roughly understood its uniqueness and challenging cultivation process. Fortunately, he had discovered the right method to cultivate it.

"System," Lin Fei summoned.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial Sovereign

Great Divine Ability: Black Wind Prison: Mastery (Progress 0%)

Saber Domain: Beginner (Progress 0%)

Indeed, the Black Wind Prison had reached mastery. However, after achieving this level, its cultivation speed decreased significantly. To enhance its progress, Lin Fei needed to delve deeper into the Corpse Demon Mountain, an area he was unfamiliar with.

Spotting the nearest Martial Saint, Lin Fei stepped forward, startling the practitioner who immediately paid respects, "Greetings, senior."

"I have a question," Lin Fei began, "Where is the Yin Evil Qi most concentrated in the Corpse Demon Mountain?"

"Senior, is this your first time here?" The Martial Saint replied, "This is just the periphery of Corpse Demon Mountain; the Yin Evil Qi here is average. The deeper you go, the denser it gets. But it also demands more from the cultivators. If one's power isn't strong enough or they can't resist the Yin Evil Qi, they shouldn't venture deeper.

The densest Yin Evil Qi is at the core of the Corpse Demon Sect. There lies a massive Yin Evil Array set up by hundreds of Golden Core True Persons. Its Yin Evil Qi is so dense that even the corpse of a Martial Sovereign thrown into it will, after some time, transform into a terrifying refined corpse."

Lin Fei nodded. He looked towards the center of Corpse Demon Mountain, where the Yin Evil Qi was the most concentrated.

Without hesitation, Lin Fei flew directly towards the center of the mountain. The closer he got, the fewer people he encountered. Initially, he saw many Martial Saints and Foundation Establishment True Persons. However, as he neared the heart of Corpse Demon Mountain, not even a single Martial Saint or Foundation Establishment True Person could be seen. Only Golden Core True Persons or Martial Sovereigns were visible.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Soon, Lin Fei arrived at the place where the Yin Evil Qi was most dense. He halted his flight and landed on the ground. Dense Yin Evil Qi wasn't necessarily better; what was essential was its appropriateness. After all, such energy could greatly harm both Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons. Lin Fei saw many Golden Core True Persons, most of whom were refining zombies here. There were fewer Martial Sovereigns and those present were likely using the Yin Evil Qi to cultivate their Divine Abilities.

At the very center of Corpse Demon Mountain, there was a raised platform. On this platform stood nine pillars, all drawing in a vast amount of Yin Evil Qi. Lin Fei realized that beneath these pillars likely lay the core of the Yin Array. The energy here surely surpassed other places. Yet, only eight people were atop the nine pillars, leaving one pillar vacant. However, no one around, whether Golden Core True Persons or Martial Sovereigns, seemed to want to claim it.

Lin Fei's gaze swept across the scene. Those on the other eight pillars were strenuously resisting the oppressive Yin Evil Qi. Such dense energy was dangerous; if not handled carefully, it could invade the body, corrupting the flesh and potentially turning the person into a zombie. Both Golden Core True Persons and Martial Sovereigns knew that ascending to that vacant pillar was a perilous endeavor.

However, Lin Fei didn't hesitate. Step by step, he walked directly toward the last unoccupied pillar. As he reached it, a loud "boom" echoed. A tremendous surge of Yin Evil Qi, over ten times that from the base of the pillar, rushed towards him. This sinister energy crazily poured into Lin Fei. Only then did he notice inscriptions carved onto the pillar. It read, "Zombie Pillar!"

Turns out, these nine pillars were indeed used by the Corpse Demon Sect to refine the strongest zombies. Such dense Yin Evil Qi was too overpowering, even for Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons under normal circumstances.

"Swoosh."

Beside Lin Fei, a woman dressed in red appeared. She opened her eyes and coldly said to Lin Fei, "If you can't withstand it, get down. Staying forcefully on the Zombie Pillar can turn you into a zombie." Even though her tone seemed indifferent, she was genuinely offering a kind reminder.

Lin Fei merely nodded without uttering a word. At that moment, a system's voice echoed in his mind.

"Your Divine Ability, Black Wind Prison, has witnessed the Yin Evil Array and comprehended the Intent of Yin Evil from it."

"Your Divine Ability, Black Wind Prison, has improved its cultivation progress by 100%."

"Your Divine Ability, Black Wind Prison, has advanced to Transcendence!"

Simultaneously, the Life Wheel behind Lin Fei emerged dramatically. A "boom" echoed as the layer of Divine Ability on Lin Fei's Life Wheel expanded again, now glaringly prominent.

The woman in red glanced at Lin Fei's Life Wheel, revealing a hint of surprise. Yet, she remained silent. Clearly, she realized Lin Fei was directly using the Yin Evil Qi to cultivate a Divine Ability. Hence, staying on the Zombie Pillar shouldn't be an issue for him. In contrast, it seemed she wasn't directly cultivating a Divine Ability but was tempering something, as her physical body strained against the erosion of the Yin Evil Qi.

"Black Wind Prison has transcended," Lin Fei thought. "Even though the Divine Ability has reached transcendence, the dense Yin Evil Qi on the Zombie Pillar can still enhance it. I need to stay on the Zombie Pillar for a while longer."

A day passed. The cultivation progress of Lin Fei's transcended Divine Ability improved by merely 3%. Yet, he was content. At this pace, in just over a month, his top-tier Great Divine Ability, Black Wind Prison, would break through once again, reaching perfection. Then, he could return to the Ancient Origin Sect to cultivate his second Divine Ability. He was already very pleased with the rapid progress of refining a top-tier Great Divine Ability like Black Wind Prison to perfection. Thus, Lin Fei continued to stay on the Zombie Pillar.

One day, three days, five days, ten days... In a blink, half a month passed. One day, a Golden Core True Person arrived in front of the Yin Array. He looked at the Zombie Pillars, all of which were occupied. This Golden Core True Person seemed in dire need of a Zombie Pillar. So, he said, "I am the Law Protector of the Sky Soul Sect, Soul Hook True Person. I'm cultivating a magic treasure and urgently need the Corpse Demon Sect's Zombie Pillar. I wonder which fellow daoist can give up their spot on the Zombie Pillar. I would be eternally grateful."

After speaking, the Soul Hook True Person stood silently below the Zombie Pillar, patiently waiting for a response.
