The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Never See Senior He Again

The infusion of lifespan lasted for about an hour. It wasn't until the aerial root was retracted that Chu Xuan let out a contented sigh of relief. The sensation of gaining lifespan out of thin air was incredibly exhilarating.

The Taotie Tree was still only a sapling, and each time it could only provide around ten years of lifespan. Yet, those ten years should not be underestimated. For many cultivators, even a single year was a fiercely contested prize. Perhaps just an extra year of lifespan could allow one to break through to a higher realm and enjoy many more years of freedom.

Furthermore, the higher one's cultivation realm, the more difficult it was to increase lifespan with spiritual substances. What worked for a Foundation Establishment cultivator would barely affect a Golden Core cultivator, and the same principle applied at all levels.

Some cultivators, driven to desperation, turned their eyes to various demonic techniques. Like True Master Tiancang, who, in his quest for a longer life, even resorted to cannibalism.

Even though the Taotie Tree was merely a sapling, if the method of exchanging blood food for lifespan were to become known, even if it only added ten years at a time, it would surely cause a frenzy among cultivators!

Chu Xuan reached out and gently touched the Taotie Tree, smiling. He had indeed stumbled upon a treasure.

Now, with the Taotie Tree providing a continuous increase in lifespan, his life expectancy was set to reach a terrifyingly high level. Perhaps he could even consider using secret techniques that consumed lifespan for their execution.

Chu Xuan committed this thought to memory. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely spend some effort to collect such secret techniques. He then reinforced the array around the area and added a few more Ghost Commanders to guard alongside the corpse puppets. With these arrangements, he felt secure enough to leave.

The Taotie Tree was a double-edged sword; if used without restraint, it would backfire. Chu Xuan did not want his sanctuary to be devoured by the Taotie Tree.

...

Celestial Sound Star.

This cultivation star was controlled by the Celestial Sound Zen Temple. Typically, only one Nascent Soul cultivator was stationed there to guard it. However, this old ancestor from the Celestial Sound Zen Temple spent most of his time in seclusion, only emerging when the monastery faced a crisis that threatened its very survival.

At that moment, a figure appeared from the teleportation array, and a powerful aura of the Nascent Soul stage dispersed into the surroundings. The monks of the Celestial Sound Zen Temple, sensing the formidable presence, immediately went into high alert and quickly summoned the head abbot.

Moments later, a middle-aged figure stepped out from the light curtain.

"May I ask who the senior is?" inquired the head abbot of the Celestial Sound Zen Temple respectfully.

The middle-aged figure responded with a slight smile, "I am Zhao Tiancang, a Nascent Soul elder from the Reincarnation Divine Sect."

The head abbot immediately showed a respectful demeanor, "So it is the esteemed True Master Tiancang from the upper sects. Has Elder Tiancang come to seek our Elder Dehong of the Celestial Sound Zen Temple? Elder Dehong is currently in seclusion, I'm afraid it might be difficult for him to meet with you."
