The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: The Great Dao of the Nascent Soul

Chu Xuan pondered the Blood Steel Wire, contemplating its limitations. Even though he had refined it into his life-bound gu insect, it was merely being dragged along by his progress.

Currently, the Blood Steel Wire wasn't of much use to him. In the future, he would need to keep an eye out for gu insect essence blood suitable for both the Blood Steel Wire and the Blood Bee Queen. With the right essence blood, their realms could rapidly ascend, making them as effective as a Corpse King or a Ghost King.

With a thought, Chu Xuan beckoned with his hand, and the Evil Soul Chain appeared beside him. This magic treasure, bound to his life, could unleash 120% of his combat power.

However, limited by its materials, its current power had significantly diminished. This treasure too needed better materials to be suitable for battles between Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly requires so much; everything must be done slowly, step by step, replacing each item," Chu Xuan mused, unfazed by the daunting task ahead. After all, he had some funds. He'd start by buying what was necessary. If purchasing proved impossible, or if someone prevented him from buying, he'd simply go and demand what he needed. Surely, there were kind-hearted people willing to gift him what he required. Maybe they'd even be willing to give him everything they had, inside and out.

...

Heavenly Sword City.

Chu Xuan once again approached the gates of this fortress city. Previously, being cautious, he had not stayed in his cave dwelling but had instead left Heavenly Sword City to find a cave outside. He had to go to Blue Star to save time; the heavenly tribulation only occurred once.

Since it had appeared on Blue Star, it wouldn't manifest again in the outer domain battlefield. If he had broken through from his cave dwelling within Heavenly Sword City without triggering the heavenly tribulation and yet advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, it would have certainly raised many eyebrows. After all, who ever heard of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage without facing the heavenly tribulation?

As for breaking through outside the city, that didn't matter. The battlefield beyond was vast, and not everyone could witness the heavenly tribulation.

"Halt, who goes there?" A disciple of the Majestic Sword Sect stopped Chu Xuan at the gates of Heavenly Sword City.

Chu Xuan tossed over his identity jade slip. The Majestic Sword Sect disciple scanned it with his divine sense, and his surprise was evident. "Master He? It's been a long time! We heard you went to attempt the Nascent Soul breakthrough... You're still alive?"

Chu Xuan had spent nearly forty years on Blue Star, and it had been almost four years since anyone had last seen him in Heavenly Sword City. Many had assumed he was dead and gradually, he had been forgotten.

The Majestic Sword Sect disciple remembered him because Chu Xuan had once concocted pills for him. Now, inspecting Chu Xuan carefully, the disciple asked cautiously, "Master He, have you... have you successfully condensed your Nascent Soul?"

Four years without a sighting, and returning unscathed could only mean one of two things: he had either succeeded in reaching the Nascent Soul stage or retreated to form a False Soul. Either way, he was not someone the disciple could afford to offend.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, releasing the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator, "Fortunately, I have transcended the heavenly tribulation and attained the great Dao of Nascent Soul." His powerful presence shook the surrounding cultivators, some of the weaker ones nearly collapsing.

The Majestic Sword Sect disciple was astounded, "…I pay my respects to senior He!"

The other cultivators waiting to enter the city were also stunned and bowed respectfully, "We pay our respects to senior He!"

Chu Xuan chuckled, "May I enter now?" _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

"Of course! Now that you are a Nascent Soul great cultivator, you can go wherever you like!" the disciple said respectfully, "I will take you to Elder Ximen right away."

Chu Xuan waved his hand dismissively, "No rush, I want to visit my old shop first."
