The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189: The Way of a High Buddhist Monk

Time flew swiftly. Before long, another year had passed on the extraterritorial battlefield. Chu Xuan, as usual, shuttled between the Blue Star and Soul Star.

The Blue Star was primarily for cultivating his "Yin Thunder Evil Technique" and crafting Yin Thunder Seeds, while the Soul Star was for clearing the strongholds of the Slaughter and Husbandry Factions and gathering more soul techniques.

However, Soul Star proved to be far more vast than Chu Xuan had anticipated. Blindly slaughtering through it, he wondered how long it might take to find the soul techniques he sought.

Chu Xuan planned to establish his own network on Soul Star, similar to the Black Blade organization on Blue Star, to gather intelligence and locate soul techniques for him. But just as he began to entertain this idea, a stir arose from the extraterritorial battlefield.

A powerful light surged into the sky from the Great Chasm, located six hundred li north of Righteous Dao City. Many cultivators were nearby, clearing ancient beast carcasses when the phenomenon occurred.

Upon witnessing this, several old cultivators, whose life limits were nearing, gritted their teeth and descended into the Great Chasm first.

Within hours, a Nascent Soul cultivator from Righteous Dao City, two False Soul cultivators, a Nascent Soul cultivator from Lei Family City, and numerous curious Golden Cores arrived at the chasm.

However, none dared to venture in rashly; instead, they waited at the edge of the chasm.

Ultimately, they saw an old cultivator tremble his way out from the bottom of the Great Chasm, carrying a bottle of Deity Nurturing Elixir and a Soul Breaking Spike.

The Deity Nurturing Elixir, a divine item that could increase the chances of a Nascent Soul cultivator achieving Deity Transformation, and the Soul Breaking Spike, a Nascent Soul artifact that could enhance a Golden Core cultivator's chances of breaking through to Nascent Soul—both items were exceedingly coveted treasures for Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators alike!

Seeing the hungry gazes of so many cultivators, the old man did not hesitate to hand over the Deity Nurturing Elixir and Soul Breaking Spike to the Nascent Soul elder of the Lei family, thereby securing the Lei family's protection.

From the old cultivator, everyone learned that an ancient cave dwelling had appeared at the bottom of the Great Chasm, likely belonging to a Deity Transformation powerhouse.

The news spread like wildfire, and the cultivators in Righteous Dao City went mad rushing toward the Great Chasm. Such a cave dwelling might not only contain divine items like the Deity Nurturing Elixir or the Soul Breaking Spike but perhaps even lesser but still valuable spiritual items.

The Path to Nascent Soul—a goal for which countless Golden Core cultivators would risk their lives. It wasn't that they were unaware of the dangers; rather, they felt compelled to take the risk.

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, then decided to set aside his endeavors on Soul Star and return to the extraterritorial battlefield. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

He wasn't interested in seeking out the rare treasures. The appearance of this Deity Transformation powerhouse's cave dwelling could lead to numerous cultivator deaths and attract many ancient beasts. As a high Buddhist monk dedicated to the salvation of all beings, it was his duty to aid those who had died tragically or those who might yet die.

Seeking no personal gain, coveting no treasures—such was the way of a high Buddhist monk.

...

"Fellow daoist Huikong, I presume you're aware of the situation at the Great Chasm?" Duan Que cut straight to the chase during his visit.

Chu Xuan nodded with a smile, "Indeed, I am aware. Is Benefactor Duan considering entering to seek a Nascent Soul opportunity?"

Duan Que shook his head repeatedly, his bald head gleaming under the light of the cave's luminous pearls, resembling a bright bulb. "You jest, Master. I am aware of my limits—bullying early-stage Golden Cores is feasible, but I struggle against mid-stage ones.

I have over a hundred more years to enjoy; there's no need to throw my life away recklessly. If I went to the Great Chasm, it's highly likely I wouldn't return, and some lucky fellow might end up with my modest possessions. Who knows, even my corpse might not meet a good end."

He chuckled, and Chu Xuan touched his nose. Duan Que's words seemed to be referring to himself, but the man clearly knew his limitations.

Indeed, the cave dwelling of a Deity Transformation powerhouse was an exceptional opportunity, but one needed to have both the fate to find it and the fate to return.

"So what brings Benefactor Duan to my door today?" Chu Xuan asked with a smile.
