The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed on Mystic Azure.

As it turned out, Northern Cold truly did not have the demonic beast meat that Chu Xuan needed.

During these three years, Myriad Souls Elder and Wan Wuying had both been diligent and loyal, bringing him numerous demonic beast meats brimming with powerful life force.

However, with just a glance, Chu Xuan could tell that none of them could compare to the Nether Crocodile. Since that was the case, they naturally could not meet his requirements, nor push his body refinement realm further.

Fortunately, thirty years had elapsed in the Soul Star.

The Ice Soul Formation had accumulated a hundred years' worth of energy, completely transforming the environment. Every ghost within the formation now carried an Ice Soul Crystal in their body. The higher the ghost's level, the larger the crystal.

With this, Chu Xuan's cultivation speed for the Mysterious Heavenly Ice Soul Scroll could accelerate once more.

"Luckily, I've been cultivating both Qi and body in tandem. When one path reaches a bottleneck, I switch to the other. In this way, my strength has steadily increased, unlike others who remain stuck at the same level for years, struggling to progress."

Looking at the entire basket of Ice Soul Crystals radiating a chilling aura before him, Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He estimated that if he refined all the Ice Soul Crystals in front of him, in roughly twelve years, he could cultivate the Mysterious Heavenly Ice Soul Scroll to the fifth level.

However, before sitting down to focus on cultivation, Chu Xuan decided to return to Mystic Azure to check on the recent developments in Northern Cold through the transmissions from Myriad Souls Elder and Wan Wuying.

But just as he was about to review their messages, Myriad Souls Elder arrived in person.

Myriad Souls Elder's face was brimming with joy. "Master, the Poison Gu Sect is no more. My Myriad Souls Sect and the Corpse Yin Sect have divided the treasures of the Poison Gu Sect. I've specially brought some to present to you."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow at this.

The Poison Gu Sect is gone? So quickly?

Myriad Souls Elder handed over a storage bag and began reporting the recent events one by one.

As expected, that Poison Gu Sect Nascent Soul ancestor, Guan Tong, had been far too greedy. He had long harbored ambitions to seize lands in the Central Continent. At first, when he took over one or two cities, the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace did not respond, which emboldened Guan Tong even further.

But when he made his move again, planning to swallow up five cities in one go—The Feather Transformation Heaven Palace finally reacted.

Two Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators descended in a storm of thunderous might. Guan Tong revealed all his hidden cards, but he still failed to escape alive. His physical body was shattered, and his Nascent Soul was obliterated.

A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator perished just like that, his path of cultivation severed in an instant.

The Poison Gu Sect, like the Myriad Souls Sect, only had a single Nascent Soul cultivator. Unlike the Corpse Yin Sect, which still had Nascent Soul cultivators honing their skills on the outer battlefield, the Poison Gu Sect had no other such resources.

Thus, with Guan Tong's death, the Poison Gu Sect instantly became an empty shell. Its territory, cultivators, and treasures were swiftly taken over by the Corpse Yin Sect and the Myriad Souls Sect.

Myriad Souls Elder dared not delay. After acquiring the spoils, he immediately brought them to Chu Xuan, fearing he might be accused of hoarding treasures in secret.

Chu Xuan was very pleased with Myriad Souls Elder's behavior.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

The Poison Gu Sect specialized in poison arts and the path of Gu insects. Its downfall and the outflow of its inheritance and treasures provided him with the perfect opportunity to enhance his poison techniques and Gu insect cultivation. ŗАNȰＢÊś

"Master, please examine everything carefully. I shall take my leave," Myriad Souls Elder said respectfully.

Chu Xuan nodded. "Go ahead."

He then returned to Blue Star and carefully examined the contents of the storage bag.

"A Corrupted Infant Incense, capable of harming Nascent Soul cultivators… A Corpse God Powder that controls the mind…"

"And this complementary Nascent Soul-level technique, White Jade Poison Repelling Art, which prevents accidental poisoning while deploying toxins."

"Too ruthless—I love it!" Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction and then continued to review the items related to Gu insects.

"These Gu techniques are all mediocre; nothing particularly impressive. It seems even Guan Tong himself only cultivated Golden Core-level Gu techniques. However, this drop of Mountain Steel Worm's essence blood is truly a surprise."

Chu Xuan retrieved a piece of amber and scrutinized it closely. Encased within the amber was a droplet of grayish blood—the essence blood of a Mountain Steel Worm. The Mountain Steel Worm was one of the powerful descendants of the Gold-Devouring Blood Mother.

The Gold-Devouring Blood Mother, on the other hand, was a formidable ancient insect. It was said to have a body length of over a thousand zhang, with countless tendrils hanging from its form. These tendrils would scour the earth, devouring every trace of metal ore in their path until nothing was left behind.

The first Gu insect Chu Xuan cultivated, the Blood Steel Wire, was a distant descendant of the Gold-Devouring Blood Mother, several generations removed. Its inherited bloodline from the Gold-Devouring Blood Mother was diluted to the point of being nearly imperceptible.

Without the assistance of a powerful bloodline, it was nearly impossible for it to undergo atavistic transformations.

Previously, the Blood Steel Wire had ingested the essence blood of a powerful Gu insect, which elevated it to the second-rank Gu category, while also raising its potential.

Later, when Chu Xuan advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, both the Blood Steel Wire and the Blood Bee Queen, being his life-bound Gu insects, received another boost, reaching the late stage of the second transformation.

Now, if he could feed it this essence blood of the Mountain Steel Worm, the Blood Steel Wire would undoubtedly break through to the third-rank Gu category.

Moreover, its potential would be further enhanced, equivalent to the level of a Golden Core cultivator.

"Gangsi, come forth. This blood essence is yours," Chu Xuan commanded with a thought.

The skin on his palm split open, and Gangsi emerged, its gaze fixated on the amber with intense desire.

With a casual squeeze, Chu Xuan crushed the amber.

Gangsi lunged forward and swallowed the droplet of essence blood in an instant. It immediately retreated back into the Blood Insect Pouch.

Chu Xuan directed his spiritual sense inward and saw that Gangsi had begun forming a cocoon. Once the blood cocoon breaks, it will undergo an atavistic transformation into a Mountain Steel Worm, advancing firmly into the third-transformation Gu category.

"It's time for me to cultivate as well."

Chu Xuan sat cross-legged and began refining the Ice Soul Crystals to strengthen himself.

The Feather Transformation Heaven Palace had made a decisive move to discipline the Poison Gu Sect of Northern Cold. In the future, they would surely target the unruly sects in Western Land, Eastern Border, and Southern Wilderness.

For now, this period would likely be a rare time of peace. Perfect for quietly cultivating and amassing power.

...

Mystic Azure, Central Continent, Feather Transformation Heaven Palace.

Two figures departed from Feather Transformation Island under the cover of night, heading straight for Northern Cold.

One was a middle-aged cultivator—Wei Ji. The other was a beautiful woman with traces of age on her face.

Wei Ji showed no sign of lingering as he turned and continued on his way. The woman, however, paused in midair, standing on a cloud and casting a longing gaze back toward Feather Transformation Island, her eyes filled with sorrow and reluctance.

She murmured softly, "Elder Wei, if we leave now, it will be difficult for us to ever return."

Wei Ji replied coldly, "If we don't leave now, we will be imprisoned by Zhao Kai and his followers, or worse, assassinated. I've received word that Zhao Kai has already invited two Nascent Soul cultivators from Western Land and Southern Wilderness specifically to counter us. You can stay if you want, but I won't."

The woman smiled bitterly. Her name was Liu Ruoshui, one of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace. However, she was different from Zhao Kai and the others in the loyalist faction.

Zhao Kai was the chief disciple of the Spirit Feather True Master, personally groomed by the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace from a young age into a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But she and Wei Ji had both joined the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace only after achieving the Nascent Soul realm.

Liu Ruoshui hesitated and asked again, "Elder Wei, why are we heading to Northern Cold? The Eastern Border is still not unified. If we go there, we can at least preserve our lives."

Wei Ji sneered, "Preserve our lives? That's not enough! Have you forgotten how Zhao Kai and his lackeys humiliated us? All because they hold the power of the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace, all because they have the numbers on their side! I want to fight my way back. I want to kill Zhao Kai with my own hands!"

A trace of ruthless resolve flashed in his eyes. When Zhao Kai seized control of the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace, he carried out numerous actions to suppress and marginalize, the Nascent Soul cultivators who weren't part of his faction.
