Seeing that one Zombie Matriarch and one Zombie Empress weren't enough, Chu Xuan decided to double down and ordered the Black Blade to find another advanced-level zombie capable of creating more zombies. As an incentive, anyone who captured and brought back such a specimen would be rewarded with a pound of Purple Star Rhinoceros Meat.This incentive immediately sent the Black Blade members into a frenzy, eager to prove their worth.Luo Gang, Xiong Zhen, and Liu Huafang immediately took action, leading their teams out into the world to search for these advanced zombies.Though Blue Star had regained its strength through Chu Xuan's teachings, with humanity now practicing body-refining techniques and growing stronger, the emergence of extraordinary creatures and high-level zombies had been a notable consequence.These creatures and zombies, over time, had mutated and grown more powerful. While the gap between humans and these creatures wasn't substantial, their numbers had significantly

Two months passed by quickly. During this time, Chu Xuan gradually learned Xiao Renjie's true name and several secrets.Xiao Renjie, the Insect Monarch, had tamed a unique demon insect known as the "Phantom Demon Shadow." This insect could transform into a clone, but its power would be only one-tenth of the original's strength. Xiao Renjie's true form remained in the royal palace, while his clone often traveled to different places.It was this clone that had stayed in the Fire Ant Tribe some time ago under the alias of "Xiao Yan." During this time, he had a child, Xiao Huo, with a woman from the tribe. After feigning death, he left the tribe and continued wandering under different identities in other tribes.It was precisely because of this that Xiao Renjie knew of the Fire Ant Tribe's transformation from a small tribe to a large one, which left him astounded. This piqued his interest in the Flame Saint Ant Tribe and led him to closely monitor it.Both of his previous suppressions of

A short while later, she returned, holding a storage pouch."Senior He, here is the 100 pounds of Purple Star Rhinoceros meat you requested." She then added, "Also, there's some good news. This time, we have Deity Transformation-level demonic beast flesh available in the market."Chu Xuan's eyebrows lifted. "Let me see."Jin Yan quickly retrieved a large wooden box, opening the lid to reveal a thick, snake-like piece of flesh."This is Black Ghost Python meat," she explained. "A while ago, a Black Ghost Python ambushed Yellow Spring Island, killing several bandit cultivators. Yellow Spring True Master intervened, driving the snake away and severing a part of it. Now, the flesh is available here in Moon Market."Chu Xuan's expression was one of surprise, but suspicion quickly crept into his mind."How coincidental. I just arrived on the island, and now there's Deity Transformation-level demonic beast flesh for sale? Could it be a trap?"Just as Chu Xuan was about to speak, he heard foo

The robber hoped that, amid the fog, he would be able to make his escape. However, he never expected that Chu Xuan's spiritual sense had already surpassed the limits of a Nascent Soul cultivator.This fog, which could suppress the spiritual senses of even Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators, had no effect on Chu Xuan, who had bathed in the Soul Cleansing Golden Rain and refined the Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus with boundless merits!In the blink of an eye, the Evil Soul Chain shot out like lightning, binding the remaining robber in place with ease.The robber struggled, but it was futile. He was now completely at Chu Xuan's mercy.Chu Xuan approached the fallen robber, standing behind him. With a single hand raised, he gently stroked the air, invoking the soul-searching technique.Moments later, a faint smile appeared on his face."So this is how it is," he murmured softly. "I've been targeted by the Moon Association. Is it because I'm a Body Refining cultivator?"As Chu Xuan combed thro

As for the anxious ones, Chu Xuan surmised that they likely had friends or family on Desolate Island.Chu Xuan gazed at the towering black smoke in the distance, stroking his chin thoughtfully."The eruption of Desolate Island's volcanoes—fortune or disaster? Can I profit from this?"He immediately began considering his options."Once the volcanic eruption subsides, a large number of cultivators will undoubtedly flock to Desolate Island, seeking the treasures that have erupted from the depths of the earth. Where there are treasures, there will be conflict. And where there is conflict, there will be casualties."Chu Xuan's eyes gleamed. This was a golden opportunity to gather treasures. He had accumulated quite a few magical talismans and pills, all of which were produced at a very low cost. He could easily bring them to Desolate Island and exchange them for a variety of valuable items.And, along the way, he could also collect the bodies of fallen cultivators to spare them from being
