Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds

Chu Xuan stepped out of the formation area with satisfaction.

A sudden thought struck him, and he looked up abruptly.

To his astonishment, colorful auspicious clouds were gathering in the sky.

The clouds churned continuously, forming dragons and phoenixes, casting a radiant light of good fortune upon the world.

Bathed in this auspicious light, Chu Xuan felt a profound clarity and an ethereal sensation.@@novelbin@@

The many doubts he had about the "Blood Fiend Demon Refining Manual" seemed to dissolve instantly, as if enlightened.

Moments later, spring thunder rumbled across the sky.

Yet, there was no sign of darkness on the horizon.

Before long, a fine rain began to fall.

To his amazement, the raindrops were golden.

As if forged from molten gold.

Chu Xuan stood motionless, letting the golden rain fall upon him.

Every drop that touched him quickly merged into his body.

With eyes closed, Chu Xuan carefully sensed the changes.

He realized with surprise that his Divine Soul was growing at an incredible rate.

Previously, he could control at most ten Yin Corpses at the same time.

If any of these Yin Corpses were of a higher level, the number he could control would decrease.

For instance, with Yin Corpses like the Dragon Tiger Leopard, he could only manage three.

If any of the Dragon Tiger Leopard advanced to Corpse General, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would no longer be able to control other Yin Corpses.

Now, after the golden rain's baptism, his Divine Soul could control about twenty Yin Corpses!

Even if the Dragon Tiger Leopard advanced to Corpse General, he could still handle them with ease!

"Colorful auspicious clouds, soul-cleansing golden rain..."

After a long while, Chu Xuan opened his eyes, marveling at the phenomenon.

This was the merit gained from slaying nearly ten thousand zombies.

Compared to the last time when golden flowers fell in chaos, subtly enhancing his fortune and lifespan, this time the merit's manifestation provided a much greater boost.

It was important to know that the soul-cleansing golden rain enhanced his Divine Soul.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were almost no methods to enhance the Divine Soul.

Chu Xuan only knew of a Foundation Establishment technique in the Wuji Sect called the "Divine Forging Technique," but even at its peak, it only slightly strengthened the Divine Soul by one or two tenths.

How could it compare to the soul-cleansing golden rain, which directly doubled the strength of the Divine Soul!

Looking down, Chu Xuan noticed that even the unknown wild grass at his feet had undergone the soul-cleansing golden rain's baptism.

They seemed to have become particularly lush and green.

"Perhaps one day, you too will transcend the ordinary," Chu Xuan smiled faintly, then rode the Heavenly Force Flying Sword and turned to leave.

After he left, the wild grass suddenly began to compete for the remaining soul-cleansing golden rain.

Their roots turned into iron chains, and their leaves into swords.

They continuously slaughtered their kind.

Large patches of wild grass died.

The splattered grass juice was golden.

In the end, only one victor remained.

It pulled its roots from the ground, inserting them into its fallen kin, absorbing the splattered grass juice.

In just a few minutes, it quickly bloomed and bore fruit.

A bird flying overhead noticed the fruit and swooped down, easily consuming it.

The bird flew some distance before its speed suddenly slowed, and it eventually plummeted to the ground, dead.

From its corpse, green shoots sprouted and quickly grew into a verdant wild grass.

Indistinguishable from other wild grasses.

Only when the wind blew might someone notice that this wild grass seemed to have sharp fangs.

...

Black Edge Security Company.

After two days of return, all members were back in their positions.

However, everyone felt a lingering unease as they looked at the dense fog in the distance.

There was always a sense that the fog might one day spread and engulf the entire East Lake City.

Wang Yong would stand at the highest point nearby every day, observing the fog.

Three times a day, without fail.

On this day, as usual, he activated his "Far-sight" ability and looked towards that area.

He was suddenly stunned.

There, colorful clouds filled the sky.

The clouds formed into dragons and phoenixes, incredibly mystical.

Golden raindrops fell from the sky.

Wang Yong's eyes widened.

What an auspicious phenomenon!

To access the premium content, go to [ ].

How fortunate was he to witness such a sight in his lifetime?

He wasn't the only one who saw it; some early risers in the Black Edge Security Company also saw it from afar.

They were equally amazed.

Word spread quickly.

Soon, most of the Black Edge members were gathered on the rooftop, looking towards that area.

"What on earth happened?"

"Why does it feel like the auspicious signs recorded in ancient history?"

"Could it be that a deity has appeared in East Lake City?"

"Should we get closer to take a look?"

People chattered excitedly.

Some even boldly suggested getting closer to investigate.

"Silence!"

A stern reprimand came from behind.

The speaker had a buzz cut, unusually muscular arms, and a strong physique—it was Wang Gangjian.

"I've already ordered you before we returned to the company: no one is allowed within a thousand meters of the fog area. Do you not understand human language?"

Wang Gangjian glared at the crowd, scolding them.

Everyone lowered their heads.

The pressure from a Level 2 Extraordinary Being was such that they dared not look up.

"Whoever suggested approaching the fog area, three days in confinement!" Wang Gangjian barked.

"Yes..." the person replied weakly.

"Disperse, everyone back to work," Wang Gangjian waved his hand.

The crowd quickly dispersed.

Wang Yong sighed, looking at Wang Gangjian, "Brother, do you think this is good or bad?"

Wang Gangjian replied seriously, "After all, it's colorful auspicious clouds, it should be a good thing."

"I guess this auspicious sign is related to that cultivator."

"From now on, we must strictly control the company members, ensuring no one approaches that area."

Wang Gangjian said solemnly, "Losing one person is a small matter, but if that one person angers the cultivator, we won't have time to remedy it."

Wang Yong, Tang Jinchuan, and Song Dayi all nodded solemnly, "Understood."

...

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Haotai Hotel.

Chu Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking at the flawless mid-grade Spiritual Artifact before him, revealing a satisfied smile.

In these two months, he hadn't been sitting idle cultivating every day; instead, he tried his hand at crafting artifacts daily.

Artifact crafting differed slightly from alchemy.

Alchemy materials were mostly spiritual herbs, while artifact materials were mostly metals.

Metals generally obstructed divine sense.

Thus, crafting artifacts was even more challenging than alchemy.

This was precisely why Chu Xuan started practicing early to accumulate experience.

However, it was evident that the vast merit he possessed once again provided assistance.

After a few failures, he could skillfully craft low-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

The defect rate was low, only about thirty percent.

After crafting for a month, the defect rate of low-grade Spiritual Artifacts dropped to ten percent, and Chu Xuan began attempting mid-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

By now, he could control the defect rate of mid-grade Spiritual Artifacts to thirty percent.

If he were on the Cangxuan Continent, Chu Xuan, with such artifact crafting skills, would already be considered a bona fide artifact craftsman!

Chu Xuan rested for a moment, then laid out new materials with great ambition.

Yin Fiend Steel, White Bone Bamboo, Drunken Vine...

These materials were essential for crafting the Soul Reaping Chain.

As for the powerful living soul, Chu Xuan had yet to find one.

But that wasn't a concern.

The Soul Reaping Chain's strength lay in the fact that once the artifact was crafted, the living soul could be selected and infused at any time.

Chu Xuan planned to extract the soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator or a Foundation Establishment Demonic Beast upon returning to the Cangxuan Continent as the soul for the chain.

This way, the power of the Soul Reaping Chain would reach its peak!

"Let's begin!"

Chu Xuan exhaled deeply and began crafting his Life Artifact, the Soul Reaping Chain.
