The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 380

The corpse puppet and the ghosts followed Chu Xuan as he traversed between two realms, learning many hidden secrets. Even a great being of a higher realm, upon discovering such secrets, would undoubtedly go mad. It was very possible that someone of high status would personally come to capture him. As for what would become of Chu Xuan in the end, his fate would surely be tragic.

It was well-known that the corpse puppet had no soul. However, cultivators at higher realms would certainly possess methods to search for the memories of a corpse puppet. Although very few would dare to do so, Chu Xuan could not afford to gamble on such a small possibility.

That was why, long ago, he had placed spiritual sense restrictions on all the corpse puppets and ghosts. Through his spiritual sense connection with them, all he needed was a thought to activate the restrictions and directly destroy the consciousness of the corpse puppets and ghosts. This ensured that his ability to travel between realms would remain undiscovered by anyone.

Chu Xuan severed the soul connection swiftly, but the invasion came even faster. Before he could completely sever the link, a faint trace of spiritual sense entered his soul. The pain, like being pricked by needles, immediately flooded his senses.

Chu Xuan gritted his teeth, quickly wrapping his spiritual sense around the invader's spiritual sense. However, his spiritual sense was clearly far inferior to the opponent's. It was as if a moth was flying into a flame—no matter how much spiritual sense he poured in, it was burned away by the other's power.

But Chu Xuan's advantage lay in the sheer strength of his spiritual sense, which far surpassed others of his realm. The consumption of energy was great, but as long as he invested enough spiritual sense, he could certainly block the other's advance.

This contest lasted for a full two hours. Finally, the other's spiritual sense began to falter, and it was completely consumed by Chu Xuan's spiritual sense.

Hum!

At that moment, Chu Xuan felt a profound sense of relief, as though he had been parched for years and suddenly found a life-saving spring of water. It was as if he had just devoured a large, juicy piece of meat!

He turned inward, examining his soul, and was astonished to find that it had expanded considerably! His soul had grown by at least fifty percent. This meant that the upper limit of his spiritual sense had increased by over fifty percent as well.

With this expansion, he found that his perception of the world had deepened. Things that once seemed obscure and hard to understand now felt simple and clear. This was the effect of a stronger soul.

"Though I've lost many treasures, by a twist of fate, my soul has grown much stronger. There aren't many ways to strengthen the soul."

Chu Xuan exhaled a deep sigh of relief. Perhaps this was the dual nature of fortune and misfortune. Though he had lost his best magic treasures, they could be replaced. Now, in the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, spiritual stones were far more valuable than magic treasures. As long as he was alive, he would eventually acquire even more and better treasures

"Such a pity about Bao. He could have been a great asset to me. It's obvious that old monster set its sights on him," Chu Xuan muttered to himself. By cutting off his spiritual sense connection with Bao, it meant that Bao would die and become nothing more than a shell.

"However, it's no big deal. The Heavenly Corpse Tower holds plenty of corpses from body-refining cultivators. I can just pick one and refine it. It won't be long before I have another lively corpse king."

After waiting a while for Hu and Long to return, Chu Xuan immediately set off toward Blue Star. There was no time to waste in the Sky Gold Battlefield!

Meanwhile, at Heaven-Three City, Bao stood up again. His eyes were no longer the clear, naive ones of before. Now, they were heavy and aged, filled with a deep, ancient wisdom. The corpse puppet he had originally occupied had been discarded carelessly.
