Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds

Outside Clear River City.

Chu Xuan tore off He Liang's face skin and casually tossed it into the river.

"A makeshift human skin mask is really uncomfortable to wear."

He rummaged through He Liang's storage bag and nodded slightly.

"Eighty small spirit stones, one medium spirit stone, three bottles of Revitalization Pills, one bottle of Spirit Rejuvenation Water, a large barrel of demonic beast blood, plus He Liang's spiritual power. Not bad, not bad. Killing and looting is indeed the fastest way."

Chu Xuan smacked his lips.

Just now, in that abandoned house, he had taken advantage of He Liang's unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack and firmly control him.

First, he interrogated He Liang about the situation of the righteous sect cultivators, then used the Spirit Snatching Technique to drain He Liang's spiritual power.

Finally, he naturally peeled off He Liang's face skin to make a temporary human skin mask and escaped with his life.

"But can I escape forever?"

The cultivation technique I practice requires a large amount of living beings' blood every time I break through a minor realm. The Gu insects I raise also need to consume a large amount of living beings' flesh and blood to improve. If they can't be fed for a long time, they will backfire."

Every time I search for living beings' flesh and blood, it's a risk. Maybe I should become a righteous sect cultivator."

Chu Xuan smiled helplessly.

To survive in this cultivation world, he must change his path and practice righteous sect techniques.

But if he practiced righteous sect techniques, he would have to start over from scratch.

With his aptitude, he might not even reach the Foundation Establishment stage before dying of old age.

Only demonic techniques, which have low entry requirements, quick results, and strong power, are suitable for someone with his mediocre talent.

"Huh, is this mirror He Liang's spiritual artifact?"

Chu Xuan noticed a dusty blood-colored mirror in the corner of the storage bag.

He took it out and injected spiritual power into it, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Logically, injecting spiritual power should activate the spiritual artifact.

This spiritual artifact was indeed peculiar.

Could it be of a high grade?

Chu Xuan injected spiritual power again.

This time, he injected half of his total spiritual power.

The Blood Mirror suddenly hummed.

The dust was swept away.

Inside the mirror, a modern apocalyptic scene appeared.

Skyscrapers, desolate and dead, zombies rampant.

Chu Xuan was stunned.

Why did this world look so much like the zombie-themed movies he had seen before crossing over?

He frowned and suddenly felt a thought emanating from the Blood Mirror.

It seemed that as long as he wished, he could travel directly to this apocalyptic planet through the Blood Mirror.

Chu Xuan's heart stirred, and he reached out to touch it.

In the blink of an eye, the world spun around him.

Everywhere was chaotic light, strange sounds, and twisted images.

***

When Chu Xuan's vision cleared again, he found himself on a street.

Shops lined both sides, and skyscrapers loomed in the distance.

The street was filled with abandoned cars and overgrown weeds.

A desolate scene.

Tap, tap.

Footsteps approached.

A hideous and terrifying figure suddenly staggered out from the shadow of a car.

Its eyes were empty and bloodthirsty.

Foul saliva dripped from its mouth.

A zombie.

"Roar!"

The zombie smelled the scent of a living person and immediately lunged at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan frowned slightly and raised his hand sharply.

A blood line shot out, slicing through the zombie's neck.

The zombie's head separated from its body, dying instantly.

Blood sprayed from its body like a fountain.

After all, Chu Xuan was a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

Although he hadn't yet mastered the ability to ride the wind or control the heavens and earth, he could use spiritual power in simple ways, and his strength and perception far exceeded that of mortals.

And the zombie's body was no different from a mortal's.

Killing it with one strike was perfectly normal.

Chu Xuan shook his head and was about to leave.

At that moment, he suddenly felt the Gu insect in his body stirring and stopped in his tracks.

He extended his palm, and the skin split open, revealing a blood-colored long worm.

This worm was as thick as a finger and extremely tough.

It was called "Blood Steel Wire," a Gu insect known for its toughness.

By practicing the Gu Control Technique and feeding it over time, he could cultivate a bond and use it against enemies.

For the full version, visit [ ].

Qi Refining stage cultivators had limited spiritual power, often struggling to cast more than one or two spells.

That's why Chu Xuan chose the Blood Steel Wire as an additional means of defense.

With multiple methods, he managed to secure his position among the inner disciples of the Wuji Sect, ranking tenth.

Currently, Chu Xuan's realm was low, and he could only raise one Blood Steel Wire.

As his realm increased, he would be able to raise more Blood Steel Wires.

By then, he could develop more ways to defend himself.

At this moment, the Blood Steel Wire smelled the scent of blood and flesh and seemed very hungry, constantly glancing in that direction.

Chu Xuan looked at the zombie's corpse and suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Zombies can move... aren't they also living beings? Can I use zombie flesh and blood to practice my cultivation technique and feed the Gu insect?"

The more he thought about it, the more interested he became.

In the world, cultivation techniques and spells were divided into four grades: supreme, upper, middle, and lower.

The technique he practiced, the Blood Transformation Spirit Snatching Technique, was one of the upper-grade Qi Refining techniques of the Wuji Sect and his main technique.

Compared to the supreme-grade Qi Refining techniques, it was just a bit slower in cultivation speed.

As long as he improved the level of the Blood Transformation Spirit Snatching Technique, his realm could also improve accordingly.

Chu Xuan took a few steps forward and placed his palm on the zombie's corpse.

The Blood Steel Wire immediately burrowed inside.

The sound of chewing from within the corpse was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Chu Xuan had heard it many times and was indifferent to it.

To him, as long as it was fed, the Blood Steel Wire was no different from a tame cat or dog.

Before long, the Blood Steel Wire returned to Chu Xuan's palm.

It had a cleanliness obsession and had already cleaned itself thoroughly.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

The Blood Steel Wire didn't eat just anything.

It preferred human flesh and blood.

Next was demonic beast flesh and blood.

From this, it seemed that zombies could indeed serve as feed for the Gu insect.

In that case, zombie blood should also be usable for cultivation.

Without further ado, Chu Xuan began searching for zombies.

Before long, he found three innocent passersby—no, passing zombies—in the vicinity.

The Blood Steel Wire obediently tied up their hands and feet.

These three zombies were full of energy, constantly howling even when bound by the Blood Steel Wire.

Chu Xuan found a large barrel from his storage bag and slit the throats of the three zombies to drain their blood.

Moments later, the barrel was filled.

The remaining corpses weren't wasted, as the Blood Steel Wire burrowed in for a feast.

Chu Xuan immediately activated the Blood Transformation Technique.

This spell was learned in the first layer of the Blood Transformation Spirit Snatching Technique. It had no offensive power and was purely for refining blood.

At most, it was a lower-grade Qi Refining spell.

The blood before him was continuously absorbed, impurities and filth removed, gradually transforming into pure energy.

After completely removing impurities from a large barrel of zombie blood, only a few thumb-sized blood pearls remained.

These were blood pearls.@@novelbin@@

Though they were refined from zombie blood, Chu Xuan didn't mind.

Demonic beast blood, Gu insect blood, mortal blood, zombie blood—there was no distinction of high or low, noble or base.

As long as it could make him stronger, it was good.

He swallowed the blood pearls in one gulp and began refining them.

Moments later, he showed a joyful expression.

It really worked!

He could feel his spiritual power growing stronger.

"At this rate, I'll soon master the fifth layer of the Blood Transformation Spirit Snatching Technique."

Chu Xuan's expression was filled with excitement.
