The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

Chapter 259: Whoever it is, come forth!

After a while, Chu Xuan finally awoke leisurely. He touched his brow and found not a single scar.

"Where is the Blood Mirror?"

Chu Xuan was astonished. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Blood Mirror had sunk to the bottom of his sea of consciousness. He stirred his spiritual sense and lightly touched the Blood Mirror.

A wave of ancient, profound thoughts flooded his mind. Only then did he learn the true name of the Blood Mirror.

"Mirror of the Myriad Realms..." Chu Xuan savored the name.

He also discovered that with a mere thought, he could effortlessly traverse among the various planets within the Mirror of the Myriad Realms—far simpler and swifter than before.

"Before I found this shard, it had always been external. Now, it has merged into my body of its own accord." Chu Xuan pondered, "Could it be that only now does the Mirror of the Myriad Realms truly recognize me as its master?"

His spiritual sense lightly touched the Mirror of the Myriad Realms. Immediately, three scenes appeared on its surface. The first was Blue Star, overrun by zombies and ravaged by monstrous beasts.

The second was Soul Star, haunted by ghosts and wailing spirits—both planets Chu Xuan had previously encountered.

The third scene, however, took Chu Xuan by surprise. It showed a cavern crisscrossed with pathways, within which busy insects scurried tirelessly up and down, much like industrious ants at work.

"What planet is this?" Chu Xuan mused.

He decided to first send his spiritual sense there to scout the path. Chu Xuan held his breath and concentrated, extending a strand of spiritual sense into it. After a long while, he opened his eyes. It was pitch dark here, with scant light. He tried to extend his spiritual sense further but found it confined to just around one zhang nearby. He strained to survey his surroundings.

At last, some details became visible. He was in a rocky cavern. Not far from him, on a stone bed, lay a skeleton. Looking down, he indeed saw a shard of the Mirror of the Myriad Realms, piled together with a heap of unidentifiable objects.

Chu Xuan thought hard for a while, and suddenly, an epiphany struck him.

"A powerful elder, having gone mad from cultivation, died here in this cave, leaving behind his legacy. Centuries later, a fortunate soul is knocked off a cliff by villains, not only survives the fall but also lands in this cave, thereby inheriting the elder's legacy and treasures… Isn't this just the trope of gaining fortuitous encounters by falling off a cliff?"

Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the irony. What a plot twist!

Yet, instead of being the fortunate one who finds the treasure, he had become the treasure itself!

Chu Xuan stirred his spiritual sense, attempting to move the shard of the Mirror of the Myriad Realms, but found himself utterly incapable of even the slightest shift.

His spiritual sense was clearly far more suppressed in this realm. "It seems I can only wait for that destined fortunate one," Chu Xuan sighed in resignation.

This was hardly a favorable predicament. A year? A decade? A century? If the fortunate one delayed, he would simply have to wait. Wouldn't that be a waste of the powers of the Mirror of the Myriad Realms?

But no matter how much he pondered, Chu Xuan could devise no solution.

"For now, I can only maintain the status quo. Whoever it is, just someone, anyone! Even if it's not a person, let a rat come and carry me away!"

Chu Xuan sighed softly, withdrawing his spiritual sense.

...

Blue Star.

"Having consumed so much flesh and blood of the Nether Crocodile, the progress of my physical body is quite remarkable," Chu Xuan noted as he roasted a piece of Nether Crocodile meat, liberally seasoned with cumin and chili powder, and devoured it greedily.

He felt the strength of his body, refined to the thirty-third level, and nodded in satisfaction. His physical body, spiritual Qi, and soul were advancing in unison. His body was at the thirty-third level of physical refinement.

His spiritual Qi was at the third layer of the Nascent Soul stage. His soul, though unmeasurable, was clearly far superior to that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, having been bathed in the heavenly dew.

"Eh... merit clouds?" Chu Xuan suddenly looked up at the sky, somewhat sentimental. Having slain so many zombies and slaughtered numerous spirits, his merit had finally achieved a breakthrough.

In the sky, the multicolored clouds coalesced into the forms of mythical beasts like the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, roaring and bellowing through the heavens, yet not inducing fear but rather soothing the mind, immensely serene.

Moments later, the clouds transformed into a magnificent tapestry depicting thousands of mountains and rivers, embracing all creation.

Chu Xuan's inner merit reflected against the heavenly clouds, instantly condensing a four-layered golden wheel of merit behind him!

Then, from the horizon, countless golden petals drifted down, eventually forming a quietly spinning golden lotus descending towards Chu Xuan.

The Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus!

Chu Xuan was astounded. He had only heard of a sixth-level cultivation sect called "Heavenly Dragon Holy Temple," whose Ancestor, sacrificing two thousand years of lifespan, saved an entire mortal cultivation star, earning this divine reward of the Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus. He had never imagined that he, too, might receive one.

Chu Xuan opened his arms to welcome the Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus. Upon introspecting, he discovered the Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus had come to rest beneath the seat of his Nascent Soul, spinning quietly. With each rotation of the Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus, a strand of golden light merged into the body of the Nascent Soul.

"The Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus, an incomparable treasure that enhances the Nascent Soul..." Chu Xuan mused, gazing at the sacred, luminous flower. "Upon fully integrating with a Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus, the Nascent Soul's size will increase, and both the total essence and recovery speed of the Nascent Soul will be significantly improved. After consuming the Nascent Soul's essence, the power, range, and scope of spells will greatly intensify!"

"One could say that every aspect related to the Nascent Soul will receive an all-encompassing enhancement!" Chu Xuan admired the Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus in awe.

As a demon path cultivator whose roots were deeply entrenched in righteous deeds, he had ventured far on the path of virtue. If the ancestral grandmasters of the demon path were to see him now, they might very well spit blood in agitation.

After a long while, the colorful clouds vanished without a trace, and so did Chu Xuan. Members of Black Blade, who had witnessed this phenomenon, were equally stunned. For them, such a celestial spectacle was a once-in-a-lifetime sight.

...

Mystic Azure Star, Norther Cold.

Within the Myriad Souls Sect at Black Devil Peak, Chu Xuan appeared in his cultivation chamber. Though he had devoted most of his energies to Soul Star recently, he still kept an eye on the activities of Myriad Souls Sect and the surrounding orthodox sects from time to time.

The news from Myriad Souls Elder always indicated that there was little disturbance in the northern cultivation world.

However, Chu Xuan felt as though a storm was brewing beneath the surface, gathering strength. He couldn't pinpoint why he felt this way—perhaps it was a premonition given by his accrued virtue.

Zhu Jie tapped lightly on the stone door of the cultivation chamber, saying respectfully, "Elder, Elder Zhong Yan and Elder Bai Jinkun have come to visit. Would you like to see them?"

Chu Xuan frowned. Zhong Yan, the woman involved with Myriad Souls Elder? And Bai Jinkun too. Hadn't he told them not to disturb him?

"No," Chu Xuan shook his head.

Zhu Jie smiled wryly, "Elder Zhong has already been here twice. She's still in the main hall, insisting that she won't leave unless you appear."

Chu Xuan's frown deepened. What madness had overtaken this woman? "Very well, lead me to the main hall," he said, striding out of the cultivation chamber.
