Tang Bing, along with Zhong Tianshuo, Bai Li, and a few others, were among the highest-ranking body cultivators.
Zhong Tianshuo held the highest rank, at the thirty-seventh level. Bai Li was second, at the thirty-sixth, while Tang Bing stood at the thirty-fifth level. Because the three of them were the strongest, Moon True Master had shared some of his plans with them.
Even without the sudden and mysterious burst of powerful suction from the underground ruins today, the Moon Society would have proceeded methodically in its search for ancient relics and ultimately emerged as the victor.
Tang Bing, however, had been cautious. He secretly investigated the Eight Extremes Palace, and by chance, he discovered a spiritual sense jade slip containing the final words of the last disciple of the Eight Extremes Palace.
Chu Xuan immediately searched Tang Bing's storage bag and found the jade slip.
After reading the contents, Chu Xuan fell silent, murmuring thoughtfully, "This ancient sect was called the Eight Extremes Palace, a sect devoted entirely to body cultivation. Thus, all the buildings within the sect were constructed using Nether Stones to block spiritual sense and Spirit-binding Stones to suppress Spiritual Qi.
"The Eight Extremes Palace was once a great sect of the ancient world. One day, it was suddenly besieged by a large number of corpse demons, outnumbered and eventually destroyed.
"The Sect Master, unwilling to let the sect's legacy die, set up a grand array before his death. This array would activate once a certain number of living beings gathered nearby, drawing in the surrounding cultivators, including those on Desolate Island.
"Anyone who could pass the trials would gain the Eight Extremes legacy. The trial was to kill the wandering corpse demons within the Eight Extremes Palace. Slaying one thousand corpse demons would grant one portion of the legacy."
"The more demons killed, the greater the legacy one would receive. The cultivator who kills the most corpse demons will inherit the complete Eight Extremes legacy."
Chu Xuan's expression grew strange. No wonder—this was indeed a body cultivator's domain. The trial requirements were as simple and brutal as they could be!
"This disciple who fled the sect must have felt immense guilt. He provided detailed accounts of the corpse demons' attacks and fatal weaknesses. Not bad, not bad."
Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. With the background of the dungeon and its strategy in hand, it was time to clear the dungeon! With a wave of his hand, the Evil Soul Chain shot out and bound Long's body, yanking it with a violent pull!
Aha. Not even a twitch. These Man-Eating Flowers had clearly taken Long for a feast and refused to let go no matter what.
Chu Xuan sneered, raising his hand to signal Hu, who immediately rushed forward and yanked at the Evil Soul Chain.
Snap, snap.
Petals shattered, and stems oozed with juice. In the blink of an eye, Long was forcibly pulled free. The remaining petals turned into jagged, fang-like jaws and rushed toward Chu Xuan, eager to gnaw at him.
With a casual wave, Chu Xuan sent the petals flying far away.
"Just like being drained by a succubus."

Chu Xuan glanced at Long's condition and shook his head repeatedly. Saving someone in this state wasn't like gaining a new limb. It felt more like gaining an additional burden. With a wave of his hand, he stored Long in the Heavenly Corpse Tower, instructing it to eat plenty of meat and recover.
"These spiritual plants must be the Man-Eating Flowers, right? Too bad their roots are too deep to uproot."
Chu Xuan sighed with slight regret. After cleaning up the battle remnants, he turned and left. He needed to find the true entrance to the Eight Extremes Palace as quickly as possible—he couldn't afford to waste any more time here.
