The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 364

The Heavenly Metal Battlefield. Another six months had passed.

Chu Xuan stepped forward with long strides, returning to the great spirit stone mine. He had originally planned to continue his cultivation, but the Heart-Linking Stone in his hand had developed a crack. It was clear that Shang Xingchen had received new intelligence.

Just as Chu Xuan was about to leave the mine, he suddenly paused in his tracks. He seemed to be deep in thought. "Since six months have passed, my Spiritual Qi level should have dropped somewhat."

The spirit stones around him had never been in short supply, so his cultivation hadn't diminished. However, others by now should have experienced at least some decline.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Chu Xuan activated the Returning Void Technique, suppressing his aura to the late Golden Core stage, and then made his way toward the agreed meeting spot.

Outside of Heaven-Three City, Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji waited behind a cluster of rocks. Wei Ji appeared somewhat anxious. Shang Xingchen, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. After a while, Chu Xuan finally appeared within their line of sight.

The three met.

Chu Xuan glanced over and noticed that Wei Ji's strength had dropped further, now at the early Golden Core stage. Shang Xingchen was in slightly better condition, still at the late Golden Core stage. However, it was impossible to tell whether Shang Xingchen was hiding his true strength or if his cultivation had indeed dropped to the late Golden Core stage.

"Has your Spiritual Qi also declined?" Wei Ji sighed lightly. "It's inevitable."

Chu Xuan didn't pay much attention to it and casually asked, "What's the information?"

Shang Xingchen lowered his voice. "Some strange tree roots suddenly appeared in Heaven-Five City, but no one knows where they came from."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Did you bring them with you?"

Shang Xingchen took out a twisted, gray root from his storage bag. Chu Xuan glanced at it, and his heart jolted. Wasn't this a root of the Taotie Tree?

Could it be that the Taotie Tree had appeared in the Heavenly Metal Battlefield as well?! He had already experienced firsthand how terrifying it could be. If allowed to grow unchecked, it would devour all the vitality in the entire battlefield. All of them, including the cultivators, would be doomed.

Yet Chu Xuan didn't show any hint of alarm on his face. He only displayed a look of confusion. "What is this?"

Shang Xingchen shook his head. "Neither Wei Ji nor I have seen such a tree before, but it gives off an extremely sinister feeling."

Chu Xuan nodded. "Is there any other information?"

Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji exchanged a glance before speaking solemnly. "Three righteous cultivators, each with Nascent Soul early-stage strength, are planning to hold a small gathering to exchange various resources. The time is five days from now, and the location is at a spiritual wood forest about a hundred miles east of Heaven-Five City. This information came from the soul of a righteous cultivator I searched. I also saw in his soul that they had already held one such gathering, and there were no unexpected incidents."

Wei Ji voiced his concern. "But we're worried that those three righteous cultivators might have set a trap, which is why we came to find you."

Chu Xuan gave a slight nod. Such concerns were entirely reasonable. As time passed, resources within the Heavenly Metal Battlefield would inevitably grow scarcer. Though the three cultivators claimed to be holding a trading gathering, they might actually be waiting for others to fall into their trap. Just because nothing happened at the first trade meeting didn't mean the second would be safe.

However, as long as his strength was sufficient, why would he need to worry about the opponent's schemes? If they hadn't set up anything, that was great—he could acquire the treasures he needed at a bargain. But if they had set a trap, even better—he could just crush through it!
