The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 64

Old Captain tapped lightly on the table, reflecting on the departure of Ji Shengyu and He Shengliang, who had spent over a year with the Ship Gang without any indication of permanence.

"Now they've suddenly left?" he mused. "And they even took half a crate of wine with them..."

Recalling past conversations, he remembered, "When they first joined the Ship Gang, they mentioned they were looking for their lost memories, hoping to get help from a superhuman with enhanced cognitive abilities. It seems they believe that the so-called immortal in Linjiang Province is their target?"

Old Captain sighed deeply. He had rescued the pair when they were barely alive after an attack by the zombie king. The young boy's awakened talent had greatly enhanced his brain, enabling him to process information at an incredible pace. With most of the Ship Gang being muscular and primarily focused on combat, He Shengliang's intellectual abilities had been a valuable asset.

Initially, Old Captain had set almost no conditions for their stay, merely hoping they would choose to remain. The duo had then agreed to stay for a year as a way to repay his kindness, with the option to leave or stay afterward. He hadn't really expected them to leave.

Shaking his head in resignation, Old Captain knew he couldn't have kept them if they were determined to leave. "Let them go," he resolved.

As for the cultivator appearing in East Lake City, Old Captain pondered, "Should the Ship Gang seek an alliance with him? Or should I just mention it at the Council to ensure they don't provoke this cultivator?"

He sighed lightly, knowing that while the Ship Gang appeared strong, it was actually quite fragmented. His role as leader gave his words weight, but whether they were heeded was another matter.

His thoughts then turned to a more pressing issue—the increasingly terrifying Zombie Empress in the north of Hanhai Province.

"Can't let her continue to produce offspring and expand her reign unchecked."

...

Two years swiftly passed. During this time, Chu Xuan remained seated motionless within the Yin Evil Soul-Snatching Array. The soul of the two-headed python had repeatedly shown hostility towards him, only to be fiercely beaten each time by Huikong.

Chu Xuan had instructed Huikong's soul before entering his meditative state: if the python's soul attempted any attack on him, Chu Xuan would punish Huikong, regardless of whether Huikong saw the attack coming or not.

To avoid punishment, Huikong didn't even allow the two-headed python's soul to come close to Chu Xuan. Any attempts to approach were met with immediate and severe retaliation.

After several beatings, the python's soul became much more subdued, daring only to absorb the surrounding Yin Evil Qi quietly and keep its distance.

At this moment, the energy within Chu Xuan surged stronger than ever, hinting that he was on the verge of breaking through another boundary in his cultivation.

A year ago, under the potent influence of the surging Yin Evil Qi, Chu Xuan had naturally progressed to the third level of Foundation Establishment. Now, he was on the cusp of breaking through to the fourth level. Advancing to this stage would place him among the mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

With his array of skills and secrets, Chu Xuan was confident in facing opponents even at the fifth or sixth levels of Foundation Establishment without fear. If he chose to use the Merit Bell, disregarding the risk of exposing his trump card, he could stand against a seventh-level Foundation Establishment cultivator with ease.

The Spiritual Qi inside Chu Xuan roared like a wild dragon, repeatedly slamming against the invisible bottleneck. Again and again, he challenged the barrier until, finally, it shattered.
