Mysterious Nether Sea.
Extreme East Sea Domain, on a nameless island.
Chen Jichuan sat cross-legged.
Before him, Wei Yizhen's body was covered with talismans. His eyeballs still darted around, clearly retaining a degree of consciousness. But his body was entirely immobilized, unable to move, forced to watch helplessly as he was refined, the vitality draining from him, bit by bit.
He couldn't even bring himself to die.
Chen Jichuan's face remained impassive as he calmly performed the refining ritual.
Refining a corpse was no easy feat, particularly when attempting to refine a Qi Refinement Fifth Layer cultivator while they were still alive. The challenge was even greater.
"Eight years of lifeforce."
"Sixteen years of effort."
Chen Jichuan's bone age had already reached 292 years. He had only a few years left to live.
Even before his death, he might not manage to completely refine Wei Yizhen.
