This Celestial Eye can control Yin Evil Qi, capable of manipulating all Yin Spirit Objects, including remnants of souls and even corpses containing Yin Evil Qi.
The Lin family's ancestor has been dead for countless years. In life, his cultivation reached the Cloud Sea Realm, so surely his body contains a significant amount of Yin Evil Qi.
Under the Yin Evil Celestial Eye, all Yin Spirit Objects are laid bare to Chu Nan's eyes.
As he expected, when his gaze fell upon the corpse, he found it indeed contained a substantial amount of Yin Evil Qi, even surpassing the Yin Evil Qi contained in the Nine Yin Poison Spider's nest!
And the series of Talismanic Patterns that Zhang Guangyao inscribed all fell on the Yin Evil Qi.
Chu Nan thus deduced that the method to refine the corpse into a puppet must be closely related to the presence of Yin Evil Qi within it.
Discovering all this, Chu Nan quickly had an idea. He told Lin Yian, "Rest assured, Zhang Guangyao dared to desecrate your Lin family ancestor's corpse, so I'll make him suffer for it."
Chu Nan's lips curled into a mischievous smile, which filled Lin Yian's eyes with anticipation.
In the cave, Zhang Guangyao was extremely excited. Initially, it was boring guarding Huo Lingjun, but unexpectedly finding a corpse of a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist was a delightful surprise.
Thus, he immediately decided to use the family's hereditary Secret Technique to refine this corpse into a puppet.
Although it can't exert the power it had in life, within the Divine Illumination Realm, it could become a weapon that stops gods and Buddhas alike.
"I've inscribed thirty-five Talismanic Patterns. As long as I inscribe a total of eighty-one, the puppet will be successfully refined."
As the thirty-sixth Talismanic Pattern was inscribed, Zhang Guangyao let out a long breath and was about to proceed with the next one. To his shock, the corpse, which had been dead, suddenly opened its eyes!
"What!" Seeing the corpse come alive, Zhang Guangyao was horrified, leaping up like a mouse spotting a cat.
The corpse also slowly rose at this time, facing Zhang Guangyao's direction, standing motionless.
"It came back to life, actually came back to life!"
"How could this be? Wasn't this corpse already dead long ago?"
Martial Artists around also noticed this bizarre scene, finding it incredible one after another.
Zhang Guangyao's expression was uncertain. Seeing that the corpse no longer moved, he suddenly speculated, "Could it be, I've already succeeded in refining it?"
Walking towards the corpse slowly, Zhang Guangyao circled it and then tried to give an order, "Move a bit?"
As soon as he spoke, the corpse immediately executed the command, slapping out directly.
Slap!
Zhang Guangyao didn't expect this and couldn't dodge in time, receiving a solid slap.
This scene made everyone snicker but dared not laugh out loud.
Zhang Guangyao clutched his reddened cheek, unsure whether to be angry or pleased with the corpse.
The puppet seemed to be successfully refined, but the first command was to hit him; Zhang Guangyao was on the verge of tears.
He stepped back a bit and then again commanded, "Throw a punch."
Just after these words left his mouth, Zhang Guangyao regretted it, as he saw the corpse leap up, rushing swiftly towards him, throwing a fierce punch.
Bang!
The punch landed squarely on Zhang Guangyao's nose, causing a nosebleed to gush out, and his body thudded heavily onto the ground.
Seeing Zhang Guangyao's pathetic look, the surrounding Martial Artists pinched their thighs, trying hard to remember sad matters to restrain their laughter.
It seemed Zhang Guangyao's puppet was successfully refined, but unfortunately, it wasn't very obedient and only beat its master.
"Bastard!" Zhang Guangyao quickly got up, cursing angrily, "I'll destroy you!"
Saying that, Zhang Guangyao punched, intending to hit the corpse.
Yet, the corpse slid backward effortlessly, dodging Zhang Guangyao's attack.
This scene left everyone stunned.
"Oh my, this puppet can dodge by itself without commands?"
"This... why do I feel like it seems to have come back to life?"
"Can't be, it looks long dead, impossible to be alive again."
"We don't quite understand the strong ones' world; perhaps it really has come back to life..."
Thinking of this, everyone's hairs stood on end, as no one could guarantee what terrifying power a revived Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist might unleash.
Even Zhang Guangyao was dubious, uncertainly asking, "Are you dead or alive?"
"What exactly are you?"
It couldn't be helped that Zhang Guangyao was panicked. He knew:
Some aging seniors, soon to reach the end of their lifespans, deliberately construct fake tombs or hide in powerful Secret Realms, setting traps, waiting for young disciples to walk right into them.
At that time, they could absorb the life essence of these young Martial Artists to extend their own lives.
While Zhang Guangyao was in shock and doubt, the corpse, dead for who knows how long, suddenly spoke human words, emitting a hoarse voice, "Bold one, how dare you be so presumptuous as to desecrate my body!"
These words made Zhang Guangyao even more flustered. A Cloud Sea Realm revived, even without its bygone strength, was not something he could handle.
So he immediately apologized, "This junior unintentionally offended, please forgive me, senior."
Meanwhile, Zhang Guangyao was trying hard to recall, pondering who this person was, as there weren't many recorded Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists who died within the Cyan Profound Mansion.
The corpse displayed fierce authority, yet appeared magnanimous, saying, "The unaware are guiltless; your bloodline aura feels familiar. Are you of the Zhang family?"
These words made Zhang Guangyao nervous, unsure about the relationship between this resurrected Cloud Sea Realm and the Zhang family.
Seeing Zhang Guangyao hesitate, the corpse laughed heartily, saying, "Don't be afraid, I bear no ill will towards the Zhang family. In fact, I am an ancestor of yours!"
Zhang Guangyao was shocked. He had never heard of a Cloud Sea Realm expert emerging from his family and was momentarily doubtful.
The corpse continued, saying, "Let me ask you, is your father Zhang Lei?"
Zhang Guangyao's eyes widened, nodding incredulously, "That's right, my father is indeed Zhang Lei. How do you know?"
"Need it be said, because I am your great ancestor!" the corpse replied in a benevolent tone.
The surrounding Martial Artists were utterly stunned. They hadn't expected that the Zhang family actually produced a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist who resurrected.
"Good grandson, aren't you going to salute your forebear? Make me happy, and all the Cyan Profound Secret Realm's opportunities will be yours," the corpse said with some anticipation.
Hearing about the chance to obtain blessings from the Cyan Profound Secret Realm, Zhang Guangyao was overjoyed, immediately kneeling before the corpse and loudly declaring, "Unworthy grandson Zhang Guangyao pays respects to the ancestor!"
Saying this, Zhang Guangyao was about to kowtow, but just as his head nearly touched the ground, he suddenly thought of something and looked up to ask:
"Ancestor, you've been dead for hundreds of years. How do you know my father is Zhang Lei, you..."
As he spoke and raised his head, he saw the desiccated corpse's foot directly stepping down, scolding, "Good grandson, when the ancestor tells you to kneel, you kneel, no need for so many words!"
