Tiande

As for Tiande's existence, it was an expensive matter. Since the transmission formation couldn't transport spiritual beings, the force behind Tiande had to refine his Zombie body first and had it sent to the Underworld. After that, they used a special artifact to send Tiande's soul over. And using the magical connection between the body and soul, Tiande was able to recover his body. This made it possible for Tiande to exist.

A Battle Corpse.

A link was installed the moment his body was refined. That link would activate the moment he died. After hid spiritual imprint gets erased, the people from the Cultivation Realm would immediately see the scenes one hour before he died. It has been integrated into his body, there's no way for him to remove it.

## Life Before Undead

I was a disciple of an orthodox sect, a sword sect. It was only later on that I was refined into a zombie.

Although my sword sect isn't a strong influence in the Cultivation Realm, it was still a medium-grade sect, it is still quite powerful. I was deemed as a talent in the sect. At age 20, I reached body tempering. At age 21, I successfully entered qi condensation. There were a lot of people in the sect that called me a rare talent.

But I didn't expect that my outstanding talent would actually draw me into a fatal disaster. An Elder of our sect had a sole grandson that was practically a waste. Ying Ran ate precious medicinal pills while he was growing up. But despite this, he only had the same strength as me when he reached the age of 20. If I consumed those pills instead, then I would have already been a foundation establishment expert. It was because of this fact that Ying Ran became jealous of me. In the end, he used his grandfather's influence to issue a mission that would kill me in the end. At that time, I wasn't aware of the real goal of the mission. It was already too late when I found out that I was supposed to deal with a famous Nascent Soul demonic expert. Ghost Hand Merchant, Jia Dingtian!

Although this Jia Dingtian is already at a Nascent Soul stage, he still kept with his ruthlessness. Moreover, he was an assassin in the Cultivation Realm. He would accept cash in return for his service. He also had a formidable demonic art, Living Corpse Refining Technique.

When I was captured by Ghost Hand Merchant Jia Dingtian, he used his technique in order to refine my living body. While in the process, he told me that the sect's elder was the one who wanted me killed. However, the Elder didn't give the instruction to turn me into a living corpse. Instead, it was the Elder's Grandson who wanted me refined."

After speaking up to here, Tiande let out a long breath and then said, "After being refined into a living corpse, I was no longer able to progress in my cultivation. I was at Qi Condensation stage before I was refined. Low-ranked living corpses like me had little to no use in the Cultivation Realm. But this time, the Myriad Treasures Pavillion actually needed low-level corpses. Because of this, Jia Dingtian sold me to the Pavillion."

Tiande let out another long breath, "The Myriad Treasures Pavillion refined me once again. Moreover, from what I could hear, their secret technique involves separating my soul and my body. Then they would deliver my body to the Underworld first before attaching my soul to a inferior-grade artifact and then sending it second. The artifact would be attracted to my body by using my soul. Before long, my soul and body were reunited. This is how I ended up living in the Underworld.
