The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

In the Golden Phoenix Sect, Nascent Soul Ancestor Jin Zhao was conversing with a refined-looking middle-aged cultivator. The two sat opposite each other at a square table, with two steaming cups of spiritual tea between them. The refined cultivator sipped his tea continuously, showering it with praise, yet Jin Zhao did not touch his own.

"What is it? Does Fellow Daoist Jin have any concerns?" the refined cultivator asked with a smile.

Jin Zhao gave a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist Ximen... after all, the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace is a fifth-level cultivation sect, whereas my Golden Phoenix Sect is but a fourth-level one. What virtue or ability does my sect have to even dream of replacing the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace?

When the higher-ups ordered me to unify the Northern Cold, I did not hesitate to start a war between righteous and demonic forces. But to replace Feather Transformation Heaven Palace... frankly, that's a tall order."

The refined cultivator was Ximen Changqing from the Majestic Sword Sect. He smiled reassuringly, "Just take it easy, Fellow Daoist Jin. The higher-ups only need an additional layer of insurance. After all, Feather Transformation Heaven Palace had a Transcendent Nascent Soul who was suppressed by the higher-ups, and it's uncertain if they harbor any resentment.

Now, with the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect stirring, and Mystic Azure Star being closest to the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect's Blood River Star, it's likely to be the first target. If Feather Transformation Heaven Palace were to secretly align with Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, wouldn't that put all cultivators of Mystic Azure Star in great peril? You, Fellow Daoist Jin, should be more aware of this than I."

Jin Zhao sighed lightly and nodded. When the Reincarnation Divine Church clashes with the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, it's a battle of deities, and they, mere minions, must simply obey orders. If Mystic Azure Star's protective formation were ever breached, the entire star would be doomed, and no one could escape the consequences.

Ximen Changqing continued, "If Feather Transformation Heaven Palace leans towards the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, then your Golden Phoenix Sect will become the primary sect stationed on Mystic Azure Star by the higher-ups. They will help you advance to the Transcendent Nascent Soul phase, and thereafter, Golden Phoenix Sect will become a fifth-level cultivation sect.

Should it turn out that Feather Transformation Heaven Palace has no connections with the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, and your sect accomplishes the task of unifying the Northern Cold, you will also receive a great bounty of treasures. Why not go for it?"

Jin Zhao, moved by the argument, nodded repeatedly. "In that case, I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the higher-ups!" he declared, bowing respectfully towards the sky.

Ximen Changqing smiled, "That's the spirit. And remember, let no one know of the association between my Majestic Sword Sect and your sect."

Jin Zhao nodded, "Of course, I am well aware of that."

If it became known that the Golden Phoenix Sect was secretly contacting the Majestic Sword Sect and receiving gifts, it would spell trouble for Golden Phoenix Sect.

It would be akin to secretly meeting with the boss next door behind one's own employer's back, raising suspicions about potentially switching allegiances.

Ximen Changqing left behind a top-grade storage bag.

"This contains resources provided by my Majestic Sword Sect as ordered by the higher-ups, for the aid of Golden Phoenix Sect," he said with a smile. "Now that I have delivered the items, I shall take my leave." With a gesture of his hand, he altered his appearance.

Jin Zhao was puzzled, "Fellow Daoist Ximen, won't you stay at Golden Phoenix Sect?"

Ximen Changqing laughed heartily, "I am busy with my cultivation. If not for our sect leader knowing of our acquaintance and specifically sending me here, I would still be in secluded cultivation."

Jin Zhao nodded, "Take care, Fellow Daoist Ximen."

"Take care," Ximen Changqing nodded, quickly departing.

He looked back at Golden Phoenix Sect and shook his head slightly. "Mystic Azure will inevitably become the first battlefield between the Reincarnation Divine Church and the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect; staying here is akin to courting death. I certainly won't stay behind."

Reflecting on Jin Zhao's words, he chuckled and shook his head, then headed straight for Central Continent.

The teleportation arrays scattered across Mystic Azure Star could only lead to a previously hazardous extraterritorial battlefield. Only after transiting through that battlefield could one travel to other cultivation stars.

But since that battlefield had collapsed, all local teleportation arrays had become inactive. Only Feather Transformation Heaven Palace still possessed a teleportation array leading to a perilous extraterritorial battlefield.

Ximen Changqing had used a disguise and transited twice to travel from Dawn Star to Mystic Azure Star. Those who used this teleportation array were mostly Nascent Soul cultivators. Holding a token from the Reincarnation Divine Church, Feather Transformation Heaven Palace dared not thoroughly check his identity.

Ximen Changqing safely stepped into the teleportation array and left Mystic Azure Star completely.

...

Blue Star.

Above an ocean, Chu Xuan suddenly stood up, his expression satisfied. "Finally, I have reached the fourth layer of Nascent Soul." His body flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared hundreds of meters away. His speed was astonishing.

Looking down, the sea surface over which he had passed had turned into thick frost. Some fish were frozen within it, lifelike as if they were still swimming. Despite it being the height of summer, the sea had frozen over in moments, demonstrating the power of this technique.

"This 'Ice Crystal Divine Light Escape' is really excellent. Not only is the escape speed extremely fast, but it also has such cold energy, which can slow down enemies. Truly worthy of being the escape technique that complements the Mysterious Heavenly Ice Soul Scroll."

Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction, gazing out over the vast ocean, his hands suddenly clenched. A torrent of ice Spiritual Qi erupted forth.

At the command of his will, a massive square ice pillar surged from beneath the sea, piercing the sky. The rumbling sound vibrated in all directions.

With a grasp of his hand, there was a sharp crack as the ice pillar suddenly exploded, scattering into countless ice shards. These shards descended from the sky, swiftly freezing a large area of the surrounding sea.

Chu Xuan looked on with admiration, "This technique, 'Ice God Pillar,' is also quite impressive. First, it conjures a massive ice pillar out of thin air, which can then explode to cover a vast area, easily overwhelming early Nascent Soul cultivators. If I were to consume some Nascent Soul essence to enhance the power of the Ice God Pillar, even overpowering fourth or fifth-layer Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't be difficult."

With a thought, a pitch-black chain wrapped in strands of blood suddenly appeared. The chain whipped down fiercely, and a large swath of the ocean evaporated instantly.

The Evil Soul Chain was now a high-grade magic treasure infused with a substantial amount of Blood Resentment Black Steel.

Chu Xuan gestured, and a small bottle appeared in his hand, exuding intense frost that quickly spread over the sea surface. Two giant crossbows materialized, with frost arrows forming automatically, ready to puncture any enemy with a single command.

Chu Xuan's smile was one of contentment. His arsenal was now vast. In terms of Spiritual Qi spells, he had the offensive Ice God Pillar and the chase and escape Ice Crystal Divine Light Escape.

For psychic techniques, he had offensive skills like Sky-Tearing Cold Palm and Great Devouring Palm, and defensively, the Triple True Shield. In body refining techniques, there was the Great Extinguishing Thunder Fist.

Regarding magic treasures, he possessed the Evil Soul Chain, Ice Sun Crossbow, and Yin Frost Bottle. Moreover, he commanded two ghost kings and a corpse king.

Few Nascent Soul cultivators could claim such a multifaceted development with no apparent weaknesses. Anyone attempting to exploit his weaknesses would only humiliate themselves.

"Training and training, I've gradually become an all-rounder," Chu Xuan mused with a chuckle. He pondered, "The movements of the Golden Phoenix Sect are becoming more frequent now, surely signaling the onset of a war between righteous and demonic forces. Myriad Souls Sect, with its weaker strength, is likely to be the first target of the righteous sects. Well, I only wish to cultivate in peace, do not disturb me..."
