The cultivation cavern for an Abyssal Lord of the Corpse was several tiers above the chambers reserved for Abyssal Guardians like Varcor.
After all, within the Ninth Bone Legion's district or any district of Lower Grave Strata, status was reflected not only by authority but also by elevation and proximity to the central corpse-veins that fed the Corpse Clan's cultivation grounds.
The higher one's cavern was positioned, the purer and denser the Corpse Qi that flowed through it, and this particular cavern was embedded deep within a towering wall of fossilized black stone.
The cavern's entrance was sealed by a powerful corpse-rune array that pulsed steadily like the slow heartbeat of a dead titanic beast. Faint streams of Corpse Qi leaked through microscopic gaps in the formation, drifting like gray mist along the corridor outside.
