The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 71

After the gaze of the Han cultivator shifted away, Chu Xuan finally relaxed the grip on his clenched right hand. His sixth sense was particularly sharp, perceiving the other's stare immediately.

However, since the cultivator neither followed nor harbored any murderous intent, Chu Xuan felt no need to act. "He knows his place," he thought.

Leaving the teahouse, Chu Xuan quickly located Chen Ge at a stall. A gloomy aura surrounded Bao, who stood beside Chen Ge, conspicuous among the Qi Refining stage cultivators present, yet no one dared to provoke him.

The presence of this corpse general deterred all but the foolhardy from causing any trouble for Chen Ge, who was now quite pleased with himself. He had visited this unnamed market several times before, but never treated it as well as today.

Upon seeing Chu Xuan, Chen Ge quickly rose and whispered, "Uncle Master."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, glancing over the stall to see that most items had been sold. "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm heading back to my cave abode now. After everything is sold, he will escort you to my abode," he casually motioned towards Bao.

"Yes!" Chen Ge nodded earnestly.

Chu Xuan left the nameless market, circled a few times to ensure no one was following, and then soared into the sky with his flying sword, returning to the Water Curtain Cave. Upon arriving, he immediately activated the Blood Mirror to travel to the zombie planet.

In the past, traversing between worlds required waiting for the Blood Mirror's energy to replenish. However, with his increasingly substantial resources, Chu Xuan could now expedite the energy recharge using spiritual stones.

Presently, the Illustrated Guide to Demonic Arrays requires lengthy contemplation. Naturally, he would not undertake this in the Mystic Azure Realm. Any endeavor demanding extensive time should be conducted on the Blue Star, where the passage of time is a tenth of that in the Mystic Azure Realm.

At the Haotai Hotel rooftop, Chu Xuan spread out the Illustrated Guide to Demonic Arrays and studied them meticulously. His talent in formation arts was average—neither poor nor exceptional—but his willingness to dedicate effort to this craft had earned him considerable proficiency.

Previously, he had slain Huikong and acquired a book from Huikong's storage bag, the Foundation Establishment Stage Array Formations Detailed Analysis. This book contained only partial arrays for the Foundation Establishment stage, primarily from the Divine Star Sect and Golden Dragon Temple, marked by a strong orthodox sect influence, which Chu Xuan found inapplicable.

However, formation arts were universally applicable; understanding one could unlock others. By studying deeply, he unearthed many subtleties.

Now, revisiting the Illustrated Guide to Demonic Arrays with his prior knowledge surfacing, he quickly gained new insights.

"So that's it... This is the secret to nurturing evil array. The first step is to kill the beings within it. The second step is to combine the resentment of the beings with Yin Qi to cultivate Yin Evil Qi. I already have the formation for the second step, only the first is missing."

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Chu Xuan followed the diagrams and soon selected the formation best suited for his needs: the Soul Capturing Array. This array, a premium Qi Refining stage formation, was typically inscribed on surfaces of magical tools like copper bells or chimes. Upon sounding, it could captivate the soul, seizing the initiative in battle.

Chu Xuan planned to integrate the Soul Capturing Array with the Nurturing Evil Array. Within this range, the souls of living beings would be extracted, leading to their death.
