Chapter 147: Enslaving the Eighth-level Undead
"I've already collected the corpses and stored them in Damo City, but I'll be able to move them all here soon. Hearing Mingzun's question to himself, Locke hurriedly returned respectfully.
"Yes, I haven't seen you all these years, and your spiritual power cultivation has not fallen, and you are about to be promoted to an eighth-level mage. After Mingzun heard Locke's words, his spiritual power swept over Locke, and he instantly sensed Locke's physical state and the strength of Locke's mental power.
"This is my reward for you, the corpse of an eighth-level mage. The silver-haired old man pointed his finger, and a corpse appeared in front of Locke.
"The corpse of an eighth-level mage. Several Mingzun disciples who stayed behind in the cave were shocked, and their faces couldn't help but show envy.
As a powerful undead magic guide, each strength is a top existence compared to other professionals of the same level, but in the face of eighth-level professionals, these powerful seventh-level magic guides have no chance of winning, and the life they can escape is already rare.
However, the seventh-level undead magic guide, once he can control an eighth-level undead creature, not to mention being able to compete with other eighth-level professionals, at least with the blocking of the eighth-level undead, plus the onlookers of other undead creatures summoned, at least he has the power to fight in the face of the eighth-level powerhouse, and the hope of saving his life is greater.
Among the many disciples of Mingzun, when they were at the seventh level, there were only three of them who could be rewarded by Mingzun with eighth-level corpses, including Locke, and the other two were rewarded because they completed their tasks well and made great contributions, and now they are all eighth-level necromantic magic guides, and Locke is the third. Therefore, the few disciples present showed envy on their faces.
However, what the other undead demon guides didn't know was that the real reason why Mingzun rewarded Locke's eighth-level corpse was not because Hou Zhen had completed the task, but because Mingzun valued Mingzun after Locke replaced Hou Zhen's obvious spiritual power.
In Mingzun's induction, this disciple of his own, after being promoted to the seventh level in a short period of time, is already about to be promoted to the eighth level of the magic guide, and his qualification potential is not below him, even if he can't be promoted to the holy domain mage in the future, he can become a ninth-level necromancer who is close to or comparable to the ordinary holy domain powerhouse.
Therefore, Mingzun will reward Locke with such benefits, and while rewarding Hou Zhen, he also inspires other disciples to work for themselves.
In fact, the number of corpses that Locke helped Ming Zun collect was not worth less than an eighth-level corpse to Mingzun, and for other seventh-level undead wizards, it was far less valuable than an eighth-level corpse.
"The great war that broke out in the Three Kingdoms is all in the calculation of the deity, and you are waiting in this battlefield to help collect countless corpses that died in battle for the division, and the corpses of those who have fallen into high-level professions are considered your benefits. After handing over the eighth-level corpse to Locke, Mingzun said to the disciples again.
"Now all the disciples who are teachers have been dispatched, and there is a shortage of manpower. You wait a little while and each of you infiltrates the countries with your men. Take these magic bags and divide them, collect the corpses, and send them back to this cave immediately. After Ming Zun waved his hand, he ordered again, and while explaining the task, he also took out a magic bag from his body and handed it to Locke's brothers.
Each of Locke's several people has several more magic bags, and with these magic bags, these necromancers have no problem collecting thousands of corpses at a time.
"Thank you, teacher, we will live up to the teacher's expectations. The undead demon guides responded in unison with joy on their faces.
Finally having the opportunity to enter the Three Kingdoms, where war has broken out, without having to guard the cave, these necromancers have naturally hoped for so. Going to the Three Kingdoms to hide and act secretly is much more beneficial than staying in this cave, not only can you make contributions to Mingzun, but you can also take the opportunity to collect all kinds of precious resources you need.
For Ming Zun, he didn't need these magician-level disciples to help him guard this cave. You must know that in this cave heaven of the Dao, the strength of the undead lords who are controlled and enslaved by Ming Zun is much stronger than those undead demon guides who are only level seven. Among the undead guarding this cave, any ninth-level undead could crush these disciples of Mingzun.
After Mingzun returned to the cave, he soon left again. And Locke and the necromancers, including the other weaker middle and low-level necromancers, immediately left the cave, either in groups or alone, and soon disappeared into the canyon forest.
Locke also rushed towards the location of Da Mo City with the eighth-level corpse he had harvested.
I didn't expect that just by seeing Mingzun in person, I would be able to get such a precious reward, which was beyond Locke's expectations.
Locke originally learned from the necromancer's memory that once the necromancer completed the task, he would be rewarded by the mentor, but he didn't know what the specific reward was. Therefore, Locke deliberately waited in the previous cave for a period of time until Mingzun returned.
At this time, thinking of the corpse he had gotten, Locke couldn't help but rejoice that his decision was correct.
"There is a give-and-take. On the way back, Locke thought to himself. Locke had originally decided to take the line of Mingzun, and at this time, he would not be reluctant to let go of the corpses he had collected.
Within a few hours, Locke left the woodland and appeared near Damo City.
Soon Locke entered the space where he belonged to the corpse alone, and there were a large number of corpses piled up in the stone wall space, and the concentration of dead qi contained in it was even greater than that in the cave established by Mingzun.
As soon as his mind moved, Locke immediately began to load the massive corpses piled up in it, which numbered tens of thousands, and there were many mutilated bones. With the magic bag that Locke has, he can't fill it all at once.
After filling all the seven or eight magic bags on his body, there were still four-fifths of the corpses piled up on the field, and the magic bags on Locke's body could only hold two percent of the corpses. In this way, Locke would have to make at least five trips to complete the accumulation of corpses in the space.
However, as soon as Locke's mind moved, he had an idea in his heart. The stone tablet that was included in the body was released by Locke again, and under the control of Locke's mind, the mountains of corpses continued to pour out into the space of the stone tablet, but in a few minutes, the piles of corpses had been all packed into the altar space by Locke.
This time, when Locke put away a large number of corpses, he also got several bottles of undead alchemy potions that could instantly replenish all his magic power. Coupled with the undead alchemy potions that Locke had obtained before, in a short period of time, Locke no longer had to worry about the consumption of mana.
After receiving the corpses and the alchemy potion undead alchemy array, Locke did not leave immediately, but planned to cast the undead summon and summon a powerful eighth-level undead lord from the eighth-level corpse.
Locke is a seventh-level undead magic guide, although it is difficult to summon an eighth-level undead lord from the undead plane beyond the level, but with the help of the corpses of the eighth-level existence, it is still no problem to cast the undead summon and summon the equally powerful eighth-level enslaved undead.
Not only Locke, but even other seventh-level undead magic guides can also use the evil corpses of eighth-level powerhouses to summon a powerful eighth-level strength to enslave the undead.
Necromancers, as long as they can obtain the corpses of more powerful beings, are fully able to summon higher-level beings as their own contract summon creatures. This is also the fundamental reason why some necromancers are able to skip the challenge.
The reason why Mingzun's strength is comparable to that of ordinary Sanctuary is that in addition to his own strength, the most important thing is that he has two contract summoning creatures at the level of Sanctuary. Of course, the existence of the Holy Domain, being able to comprehend and use the power of the law, it is almost impossible to be enslaved by a lower-level existence, even if it is Mingzun, it cannot enslave the existence of a powerful Holy Domain.
As soon as his mind moved, Locke began to chant incantations, and his spiritual mind communicated with the origin of the undead plane, and with the help of the contract power of the undead plane, he summoned a powerful undead lord from the corpse of the strong.
With the end of the spell, the corpses that had already fallen began to change in an instant, giving birth to the soul fire unique to the undead creatures, and they also released a strong and powerful undead breath, these newly born enslaved undead, and their own breath leaked out without knowing the convergence of the breath.
The aura of the eighth-level undead lord is much stronger than the aura that Locke usually bursts out, but the undead lord is a slave undead summoned by Locke, and its aura cannot affect Locke at all.
Feeling that there was a more powerful soul connection between himself and his soul, Locke knew that at this time, he had completely controlled the life and death of this newly born eighth-level undead.
Summoning this powerful eighth-level undead lord, Locke consumed more than half of his mana power in his body, and nearly half of his spiritual power, which was far greater than summoning a few seventh-level undead lords. However, sensing the powerful aura emanating from the eighth-level undead, Locke knew that he didn't care about his own consumption at all.
