The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 126

Time flew like a shuttle.

Chu Xuan sat in meditation within the Soul Gathering and Evil Cultivation Formation for two and a half years before barely stepping into the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

The process took longer than he had anticipated. As for his physical cultivation, it had reached the eleventh level, which was equivalent to the strength of a cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment.

Although it seemed slow at a glance, the progress was actually astoundingly fast. Without the original energy cubes providing an endless intake of flesh, such rapid advancement to the eleventh level of body refinement in just two and a half years would have been impossible.

"Hmm? New intelligence?" Chu Xuan thought. "Now that I've reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, it's time to return and see what changes have taken place in Wu Province."

Upon noticing cracks in the motherstone, Chu Xuan used the blood mirror to traverse to Mystic Azure Realm.

...

Wu Province, White Water City.

This city was located three thousand li south of Plain City and was controlled by another cultivation family under the Heaven Burning Sect—the Huang Family.

The Huang Family treated the cultivators from the Yu Kingdom slightly better than the Situ Family had, but they still regarded Yu Kingdom cultivators as inferior to those from the Yue Kingdom.

Perhaps learning from the fall of the Situ Family, the Huangs also intended to relocate and seek development in Wu Province.

However, they did not move en masse but instead established a branch in White Water City, relocating some side-branch cultivators. Their actions were very cautious, which somewhat displeased Chu Xuan.

"How can they only move halfway? How am I supposed to pay them a visit like this?"

Disguised as an elderly man with white hair, Chu Xuan entered White Water City.

Soon after, he met with his informant in a house—Huang An, a mid-stage Qi Refining elder from a side branch of the Huang Family.

Chu Xuan obtained all his information about the Huangs from this elder.

Originally, Chu Xuan planned to use Yan Peng as a future source of intelligence.

However, after obtaining information about the Situ Family through Yan Peng and then annihilating them, he worried that someone might trace his whereabouts through Yan Peng. To eliminate future threats, he decided to dispose of Yan Peng.

As for Huang An, his story was somewhat peculiar. In his youth, Huang An had a serendipitous encounter and acquired a secret technique for sensing qi. Although he couldn't directly see cultivation levels, he could detect the merits and demerits on a person.

Chu Xuan had been walking through White Water City recently, gathering intelligence on the Huang Family in hopes of discovering a superior core condensation method.

Coincidentally, Huang An detected the dense aura of merit surrounding Chu Xuan and concluded that Chu Xuan must be a formidable figure.

Without a second thought, Huang An pledged allegiance to Chu Xuan, willing to serve him loyally in hopes that Chu Xuan would obliterate the Huang Family.

He sought revenge for his gifted grandson who, despite his talent, had been ostracized by the main branch of the Huang Family and died in resentment.

Chu Xuan was somewhat wary of such a readily offered subordinate.

However, after Huang An willingly ingested a Five Organs Gu and remained steadfast in his loyalty, Chu Xuan began to regard him with a measure of respect.

"Old servant has seen the master," Huang An said respectfully.

Chu Xuan waved a hand dismissively, "Speak, what intelligence have you gathered?"

Huang An reported the information in detail.

After a moment, Chu Xuan nodded in understanding, his expression unreadable, yet his heart tinged with sorrow.

The intelligence brought by Huang An pertained to the underground relics in the Misty Mountains.

A month ago in Mystic Azure time, the dark mists that had long enveloped the underground relics finally dissipated.

Only three Golden Core cultivators emerged alive, all from the Divine Star Sect. This likely meant that Wan Wuying had perished.

As for those like Xu Ming, whose powers did not compare to those of Golden Core cultivators, there was no need to say more.

Perhaps he had underestimated the rarity of the top-tier methods. He had only just reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and was still far from completely saturating his Spiritual Qi. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}
