「One month later.」
Inside Penglai Pavilion, atop Penglai Immortal Mountain.
Yi Beidou sat cross-legged in an open space. Across from him sat a headless corpse.
The corpse's skin was like jade. It was completely naked, yet possessed no sexual characteristics.
This was the very Headless Immortal Corpse he had brought out of the Grotto Heaven.
For the past six months, Yi Beidou had needed to periodically scorch the corpse with his Power of Black Flame to suppress the reawakening of its instincts.
At first, each suppression lasted only three days. But after he began studying the art of the Immortal Talisman, his Black Flame grew more condensed and durable, allowing a single suppression to last for nearly half a month.
