The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322 - Too Many Corpse Puppets Can Be a Hassle

Blue Star.

Chu Xuan gazed at the cocooned Blood Queen Bee before him, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Success.

The Holy Ant Cultivation Method he had obtained from Lie Xin, although only covering the ranks from bronze to gold and not including platinum, was barely sufficient. After all, a gold-level demonic insect was roughly equivalent to a third-transformation Gu.

The Blood Queen Bee had now reached the level of a third-transformation Gu. It was the perfect candidate for enhancement using the Holy Ant Cultivation Method.

Over these days, Chu Xuan had his subordinates bring up numerous rare and precious natural resources, testing their medicinal properties one by one. Eventually, he selected a few materials and successfully evolved the bloodline of the Blood Queen Bee.

"What kind of ancient exotic insect is the Blood Queen Bee descended from?" he pondered. "It's unclear, but all signs point to some kind of bee. There aren't many bee species among the ancient exotic insects, only the Netherworld Bee and the Fiery Sun Bee Mother. Based on its traits, the Blood Queen Bee is more suited to follow the path of the Fiery Sun Bee Mother."

Chu Xuan's expression was one of eager anticipation.

One year later on Blue Star.

The Blood Queen Bee emerged from its cocoon. Its size had not changed significantly, but the patterns on its body had shifted from blood-red to dark golden stripes. The temperature it radiated had also increased significantly.

Seemingly influenced by the Blood Queen Bee, its offspring—the worker bees, warrior bees, fire bees, and poison bees—all began to undergo transformations.

The worker bees grew larger, converting flesh and blood into blood honey at a faster rate. The warrior bees doubled in size, their mandibles became sturdier, and their aggression increased. The fire bees flew faster, their flame sacs enlarged. The poison bees became more stealthy in flight, their venom sacs increased in capacity.

The same was true for the other bee types. Once the Blood Queen Bee was enhanced, they all followed suit.

Chu Xuan inspected them again and noted that the Blood Queen Bee's rank had skyrocketed to the late stages of the third transformation. It was just a step away from the fourth transformation.

"Excellent! Once it becomes a fourth-transformation Gu, it can even contend with Nascent Soul cultivators," Chu Xuan nodded repeatedly, his expression filled with contentment.

Now, the Fire Ant Tribe in the cave world, under Lie Xin's control, was thriving splendidly. To eventually annex the Holy Ant Tribe, they needed time to grow and strengthen. This period would definitely be one of laying low and avoiding major conflicts with the outside world.

He didn't need to pay them much attention for the time being.

With a single step, he returned to the Heavenly Infinite Sect.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Good afternoon, Sect Master!"

"Greetings, Great Sect Master!"

Wherever Chu Xuan went, disciples immediately bowed respectfully, their expressions filled with awe.

He was very pleased to see that the sect's training grounds and sparring platforms were bustling every day. The disciples were either busy cultivating or engaging in duels.

As for those specializing in logistics—alchemists, formation masters, talisman masters, and artifact refiners—they were also fervently dedicated to their crafts, tirelessly producing day and night.

Such a thriving scene pleased Chu Xuan immensely.

A healthy and proactive sect should be just like this! It would be a disservice to his hard work if they were lazy and slack.

"Sect Master! Have you come out of seclusion?" Wei Ji, accompanied by a few disciples, hurried past and, upon noticing Chu Xuan, quickly approached.

Chu Xuan smiled and nodded, "Just taking a leisurely look around. The disciples train so relentlessly, it gladdens my heart. As an elder, you must remind them to balance hard work with rest, for only then can they enjoy their cultivation."

Wei Ji felt embarrassed. Balance hard work with rest? Unless the rule that those who fail in their cultivation are turned into soul spirits or body puppets is abolished, who would dare to take it easy?

Though he thought this, Wei Ji dared not voice it out loud. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I will remind them."

"Where are you rushing off to, Elder Wei?" Chu Xuan asked with a smile.

Wei Ji pointed towards the sinister mountain range to the west, "I heard that Corpse Valley is overflowing with corpse puppets, and there has been another corpse transformation. I'm heading there to check on it. Also, a few disciples did not meet the cultivation standards again, so I'm taking them along to let them serve the sect in another form."
