The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

Chu Xuan estimated that with just three years of cultivation in the Water Curtain Cave, he could break through to the forty-third level of body refinement. This was a vast improvement compared to his previous progress, where it would take him ten years, or even longer, to break through by one level.

In addition to this, he had also learned one of the few body refining martial techniques from the Melting Heaven Technique.

"Furnace descends from the heavens!" Chu Xuan shouted in a low voice, his vital essence swirling as it quickly condensed into the shape of a massive furnace, which then descended from the sky and slammed down fiercely!

Boom!

The ground of the training room shook violently, and fine spiderweb-like cracks spread across the floor.

Chu Xuan laughed heartily, sweeping his hand to order the corpse puppets to replace the floor. Only in this training room could he freely test out his new moves without worrying about causing earthquakes or other natural disasters that might harm the people of Blue Star.

"This Furnace Descends from the Heavens move is truly formidable. It relies entirely on momentum, with immense power!" Chu Xuan grinned. "But, it's just this one move. How regretful."

Although he was a little disappointed, his anticipation for other inheritance techniques grew even more. The Melting Heaven Technique was primarily a body refining cultivation method, with only a few martial techniques. This one move was already so powerful. How much stronger would techniques that focused on offense or defense be?

Chu Xuan took a step forward and returned to the Eight Extremes Palace, continuing his journey northward. The more he explored this ancient sect, the more amazed he became.

He had noticed signs of degeneration in the corpse demons. These creatures were clearly not as strong as they once had been. Perhaps, over endless years of not feeding on blood or flesh and being in prolonged dormancy, their strength had diminished. Alternatively, many of the powerful corpse demons might have been slain during their earlier battles with the Eight Extremes Palace's body refiners.

The corpse demons that remained now only had the strength of around the thirty-seventh level of body refinement. However, recently, some of these corpse demons, after consuming cultivators, had started to gain strength rapidly.

Chu Xuan had encountered a corpse demon equivalent to the thirty-eighth level of body refinement. Once, he even encountered one at the fortieth level! If things continued this way, the corpse demons would regain even greater power, which would be extremely detrimental to him.

At that moment, Chu Xuan noticed a strange mark beneath a broken pillar. It was a small skull, not very noticeable.

"Hmm? Could this be a mark left by someone?" Chu Xuan was immediately intrigued.

A sudden flash of insight crossed his mind, and he quickly stepped back. To his surprise, he found a similar mark at the place he had passed earlier.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. Although he didn't know who had left the mark, it was certainly worth following. He quickly moved through the ruins, tracking the marks ahead.

Before long, a faint noise ahead caught his attention, as if there was someone nearby. The moment both sides spotted each other, neither hesitated. They immediately attacked.

Chu Xuan's vital essence surged wildly as he unleashed the Great Extinguishing Thunder Fist. The opponent responded by throwing a white bone spirit weapon at him. The collision of fist and weapon created an explosion of bone fragments in the air.

Chu Xuan staggered back several steps, while the spirit weapon was sent flying far away. He frowned. Anyone who could use a spirit weapon was likely to be at the Deity Transformation stage. In an instant, he deduced the identity of his opponent.

White Bone True Master!

The White Bone True Master winced in pain and hurriedly pulled his white bone spirit weapon back to his side.

"This friend… you have great strength. It would be best if we don't fight," he said. "Wait a moment… you're that Liu… Liu Zhenxiong, the one selling demon talismans?"

He recognized Chu Xuan's face and was suddenly struck with surprise.

Chu Xuan had been selling demon talismans under the alias Liu Zhenxiong, which had attracted quite a bit of attention, including from figures like this Deity Transformation cultivator.

However, the Nascent Soul demon talismans didn't interest him much, so when his subordinates reported the matter, he simply nodded and didn't think much of it.

Chu Xuan smiled faintly, "White Bone True Master, pleasure to meet you."

The White Bone True Master smiled awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist, you possess such formidable strength, your body refinement must be quite impressive. However, I also have a few trump cards. Though they may not defeat you, they should at least allow me to escape. We should keep our distance and avoid conflict. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

His white bone spirit weapon had been damaged by Chu Xuan's punch. It was obvious that Chu Xuan's body refinement must be at level forty-one or higher.

Facing a body refiner this powerful would leave him at a disadvantage. It was better to yield than to fight. The White Bone True Master's willingness to back down so readily surprised Chu Xuan.

You are a Deity Transformation master, and yet you're giving up so easily?

Chu Xuan suddenly pointed to the small skull mark. "Did you come here following this mark?"

The White Bone True Master sighed, "Indeed, I did. But most of the White Bone Island cultivators I brought have perished, and the few remaining are scattered. Even if I continue pursuing, it would be of little use."

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment. "Is the other party from the Moon Society?"

The Black Wind Island had withdrawn, and Yellow Spring Island had been completely destroyed. If something had even caused the White Bone True Master to feel this much pressure, it could only be the Moon Society.

The White Bone True Master was taken aback by Chu Xuan's accurate deduction.

"Exactly. Moon True Master has known about the existence of the Eight Extremes Palace for a long time and has been controlling the body refiners for years. He has gathered at least eight body refiners at the thirty-five level and above. They are far beyond what I can handle."

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment. "Are there any of your people within the Moon Society?"

The White Bone True Master nodded. "Tie Jun is one of mine. He has a grudge against Moon True Master, so he was willing to leave these marks along the way."

Chu Xuan was somewhat surprised.

So, it was Tie Jun.

Back when he first arrived at Moon Square under the alias He Liang, it had been Tie Jun who had deceived him.

Tie Jun had claimed that his efforts were all in pursuit of joining the Moon Society and becoming a disciple of Moon True Master.

Now, it seemed all of that had been a disguise.

The White Bone True Master turned his gaze to Chu Xuan. "If Fellow Daoist is interested, please take it."

He tossed a white bone magic treasure towards him.

"This treasure doesn't have many other uses, but it can track the skull marks. Please, take it as a gift."

With that, the White Bone True Master immediately cast his escape technique and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. He sure knew how to run fast. Since he was so considerate, Chu Xuan decided not to waste any more time with him. He reached out and took the magic treasure.

It was a palm-sized white bone hand, its five fingers spread wide open. After infusing some Spiritual Qi into it, the white bone hand immediately stood upright, pointing toward the north.

Chu Xuan followed its direction and soon discovered the next skull mark. Without hesitation, he quickened his pace and continued onward. A few days later, his senses stirred, and he looked toward the southeast.

Indeed, a pillar of light shot into the sky. It was clear that someone else had obtained a legacy.

"That direction… it should be the Sky Piercing Hall. That fellow, Shang Xingchen, must have obtained the Sky Piercing Hall's legacy."

Chu Xuan chuckled lightly. He could easily see through Shang Xingchen's thoughts. Yet both of them had tacitly agreed to keep silent about it. It was all for their own interests, after all.
