Chapter 196 - Amalgamation

Yang Zhai stood there silently for a while as if thinking of something. 

When Elder Zihao De saw Yang Zhai, he thought that Yang Zhai had fallen into his trap. 

"It is indeed good," Yang Zhai praised the fake Death Warrant. 

"Yes, it is indeed good." Zihao De smiled as well, and pondered: he has fallen for the trap. 

"But, I don't need it." However, after saying this, Yang Zhai walked away. 

Zihao De:"..." 

"Yang Zhai, are you sure that you don't need it?" Zihao De stopped Yang Zhai and asked again. 

Yang Zhai turned around to look at elder Zihao De and spoke, 

"Elder, I don't feel anything toward this treasure, in fact, I feel like it will hinder my cultivation even more. So, I think I will choose something else instead." 

His thoughts were instead: This Zihao De is up to no good, I will definitely get in trouble if I go along with his scheme. Anyway, the real Death Warrant not being here is even more concerning. Could it be that it disappeared or something? 

"I think you should reconsider your decision. After all, you will be needing this in the final battle against Jun Haru. Also, if you feel that it will hinder your cultivation, then you can simply use it only in battles and not all the time." Zihao De tried to convince Yang Zhai again. 

"Elder, but I feel like I can get something better than this Death Warrant. I know that you are thinking for my good, but I feel like this Death Warrant will only hinder me instead of benefitting me." 

"What about this, you should try this and then decide after that. You can use it for a month and then tell me." Zihao De still did not give up and persuaded Yang Zhai again. 

Yang Zhai wanted to reject it, but did not. 

If I reject him again and again, he might realize that I know this Death Warrant is fake, which will not be good. I need to stay in his good circle. The moment he realizes that I know what he is up to, I will most probably be forced to do things through threats: Yang Zhai was silent and thinking inwardly. 

He knew that if Zihao De was forcing him into accepting this treasure so much, then rejecting Zihao De again and again would only make Yang Zhai get in even more trouble. After all, rejecting an elder again and again was no less than disrespecting the elder. And disrespecting an elder would only result in animosity.

"I will listen to you and do as you said, the third elder." Yang Zhai picked up the fake Death Warrant. 

"You did the right thing, Yang Zhai. I hope it will only benefit you and not harm you in any way." Zihao De smiled 

"Let's go," Zihao De said, 

However, Yang Zhai did not move. Even though he was helpless here, how could he miss such a good opportunity? 

"Elder, it might be selfish to say this after choosing something already, but can I choose something else?"

"Uh," Elder Zihao De frowned after listening to Yang Zhai. Yang Zhai still wanted to choose something else after getting the Death Warrant. Okay, okay, a fake Death Warrant. But Yang Zhai still chose it, whether it was fake or not, and also, Yang Zhai was not aware of it. 

"The thing is that I can feel a connection with something here, it's like something is calling for me." Yang Zhai created a story on the spot. He was not feeling anything at all. 

But, how will Zihao De discover whether I am feeling something or not?: Yang Zhai was thinking inwardly. 

Is there really something calling for him? If there really is, then it will be more beneficial to him than anyone else: Zihao De was silent and pondered. 

Whatever, let's wait and see. 

"Very well then, I give you the permission to find whatever you are feeling is calling you." Zihao De gave Yang Zhai permission. 

When Yang Zhai heard this, he began to walk in a certain direction and looked around. He came in front of a coffin. This coffin was a hand long. It was of shining black color. 

Yang Zhai picked it up and looked around. 

"Elder, what is this? I can feel a sense of familiarity from it." 

Feeling familiar with an unknown item could also mean that the item had an affinity with the cultivator. It would also be stronger when used by someone recognized by the item. 

"Uh, Corpse Collector? Are you confident that this is the thing calling for you?" Zihao De's eyes narrowed.

"Yes elder, it is this item calling for me."

"Hmm, I understand." 

Zihao De took the coffin from Yang Zhai's hands and looked at it. 

"Corpse Collector, able to collect other corpses and also use one of these corpses as the owner of the coffin wants. It's not a coffin, but an amalgamation. Amalgamations are something out of my understanding. They are completely complex things and are created through unknown means. Amalgamations are something which denies common logic, and are completely different from humans, Kas, treasures, techniques, and things like these." Elder Zihao De stopped for a while before continuing, 

"Nobody knows its true meaning. Some say that they are a race, some consider them treasures, some say that they are Kas, and many more names. However, nobody can truly determine its true self or its being, that's why people call them amalgamations. What you see is also an amalgamation."

"What's more is that they can change. Be Careful of them, they may change into something different at any point if combined with something else. What's more, is that a completely normal thing can turn into an amalgamation; However, it's not quite normal. I am interested that you were called by an amalgamation." Elder Zihao De looked at Yang Zhai and the coffin, then tried to see if there was a similarity between them that an amalgamation called him. 

Yang Zhai of course, knew everything mentioned by elder Zihao De. In fact, he knew more than elder Zihao De. He also knew about this coffin, this was why he chose this. Otherwise, he would have chosen something else if he had not known about this coffin. 

This coffin could store corpses and could use one of these corpses as he wished. He could use the corpse to fight for him, or could control it to do many things. It could be considered a will-less companion. 

"Yang Zhai, I can give it to you. But tell me, from where do you plan to get a corpse for your use?" Elder Zihao De wanted to know this. Could Yang Zhai kill someone for his benefits? Or, would he kill someone for his benefits? 

"Won't the Clan give me one?" he didn't want to say that he would simply kill someone to use the coffin or that he would not kill just because of the coffin. He wanted to kill the snake without breaking the stick. 

"Clan?"
