The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 1

In the Mystic Azure Realm, within the Yu Kingdom, lies the bustling city of Green River. The streets, vibrant with throngs of people and a riot of blooming flowers, are lively with activity. At one roadside, a humble tea stall offers a large bowl of cool tea for just a copper coin.

A plainly dressed young man sits quietly there, sipping his tea and reflecting on the past year of evading capture. As a person who had traversed from another world, he felt somewhat embarrassed by his current lowly state. He is Chu Xuan, who twenty years ago crossed into the Mystic Azure Realm and became an outer disciple of the Infinite Sect.

Lacking a benefactor or any magical aids, he relied solely on his handsome appearance and mediocre talents. Fortunately, the Infinite Sect, being the strongest in the Yu Kingdom and ruling over three of its nine provinces, provided him robust support.

After ten years of diligent practice, Chu Xuan finally managed to refine his Qi and entered the Qi Refining stage, thus advancing to the status of an inner disciple.

Recognizing his ordinary aptitude, he delved into various fields such as Gu (you know Reverend Insanity?), poison arts, corpse refining, puppetry, and disguise. Although his cultivation level wasn't high, his diverse skills made him a formidable cultivator. At his peak, he ranked tenth among the inner disciples, nearly catching the eye of an elder who would take him as a direct disciple.

Then disaster struck.

The foremost ancient ancestor of the Infinite Sect succumbed to demonic possession during cultivation and met an untimely demise. Upon hearing this, the five righteous sects of the Yu Kingdom declared the Infinite Sect culpable of numerous misdeeds and marked for destruction. Outnumbered, the Infinite Sect was driven back in defeat.

A Nascent Soul elder and ten Golden Core elders, most of whom perished or surrendered in the ensuing battles, left only a handful to escape. The Sect Leader, Vice Leader, and the chief elders either died, fled, or defected. From its zenith to dissolution, the sect crumbled within a mere month.

Compared to those mighty Golden Core cultivators, Chu Xuan was merely a small fry, which ironically allowed him to escape with his life. Nonetheless, his identity forced him into a life of constant hiding.

A year had passed since the fall of the Infinite Sect. Many disciples had been captured and executed, yet he remained alive. His extensive knowledge of various magics had now become his means of survival.

Even as he sat quietly, every sound in the vicinity was audible to him, thanks to the "Listening Insects" he cultivated in both ears. These magical creatures amplified even the slightest noises, allowing him to hear extremely subtle sounds.

At that moment, another person approached, hesitating before taking a seat across from the plainly dressed youth. He whispered tentatively, "Heavenly King covers the earth tiger?"

"Pagoda subdues the river sprite lighter," responded Chu Xuan calmly.

Exhaling in relief, the man said, "Senior Brother, you are truly brave to choose this place for our meeting."

Chu Xuan continued to sip his tea. "We are just rule-abiding rogue cultivators; what is there to fear?"

The man swallowed nervously, nodding repeatedly, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan, this senior brother, once ranked tenth among the inner disciples of the Infinite Sect. Yet, a year had passed, and all the inner disciples ahead of him had been captured by the orthodox sects. Only Chu Xuan remained free, daring even to swagger about on the territory of the righteous sects. His audacity was indeed admirable!

"He Liang, did you bring the items?" Chu Xuan casually inquired as he sipped his tea.

He Liang nodded, pulling out a low-grade storage bag and passing it over. Chu Xuan received it and peered inside. His cultivation of blood arts required a vast amount of blood essence.

Whether from humans or demonic beasts, any being with essence blood would suffice. Harvesting it from mortals was the quickest method, but it reduced one's merit, and slaughtering too many could attract the scrutiny of the heavens.

Such actions could lead to severe celestial and terrestrial tribulations when attempting to reach higher realms of cultivation, making survival difficult.

Chu Xuan speculated that the accidental demise of the first elder of the Infinite Sect was not unconnected to his heavy killing. Now, with the Infinite Sect destroyed, the five orthodox sects were strictly investigating the slaughter of mortals.

Killing mortals at such a time was akin to courting death. Therefore, he had entrusted He Liang to bring him demonic beast blood pearls, refined blood that was compact, energy-rich, and suitable for cultivation. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

"The quality is good," Chu Xuan nodded slightly, tossing ten small spiritual stones to He Liang, who greedily pocketed them. Just as Chu Xuan was about to leave, he sensed something amiss. The snack stands, vegetable stalls, rouge shops, and meat shops around seemed to have changed hands. Even the voices were different. He was subtly but surely under surveillance, including by some with the potent aura of the Foundation Establishment stage.

He glanced at He Liang. The face Chu Xuan wore was a new human skin mask he had fashioned that day; apart from He Liang, no one knew he was Chu Xuan.

'Seems I'll need to change my face again.'

"Junior brother, I need another item," he suddenly said.

He Liang nodded, "Please instruct, senior brother."

"Do you have any Spirit Blood Pills?"

He Liang nodded earnestly, "I have two, taken from the sect's treasury when I fled."

Chu Xuan lowered his voice, "I need Spirit Blood Pills, as many as you can find."

He Liang paused, puzzled. "But those are needed by Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who are severely injured. Senior brother, you..."

He suddenly realized, "I understand! Senior brother, have you found Uncle Liu?"

Uncle Master Liu, fully named Liu Zhenxiong, a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, was one of the few members of the Infinite Sect who had yet evaded capture by those righteous cultivators.

Chu Xuan spoke coldly, "Do not ask questions that should not be asked."

He Liang quickly covered his mouth, "I understand, I understand."
