The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

Five days later, four Golden Core cultivators from the Hundred Refinements Sect led a large number of disciples as they suddenly headed south overnight. Wherever they passed, the cultivators of the Hundred Sects Alliance surrendered at the sight of them.

However, surrender did not guarantee survival; a list had already determined who would live and who would die. A bloody storm unfolded at every corner of the alliance.

Yet, even on this murderous, wind-swept night under a dark moon, there was a peaceful sanctuary—Black Dragon Mountain.

Song Junjie, Qian Tang, and about a dozen Qi cultivation disciples remained in the council hall. Even the Qi Refining disciples could hear the distant cries of slaughter in the pitch-black night. They shivered, fearing such a catastrophe could also descend upon them.

Song Junjie looked around and calmly stated, "Fellow disciples, do not panic. We just need to stay calm and wait for this turmoil to subside."

He was a smart man. When Elder Tong Yijian had proactively visited to discuss matters with their master, he knew Black Dragon Mountain was safe.

Sure enough, as the Hundred Refinements Sect marched south, not a single person approached Black Dragon Mountain. This was clearly preferential treatment from the Hundred Refinements Sect.

Qian Tang felt relieved inside. It was good to have a capable master; otherwise, they too might have been completely wiped out on this bloody night.

Soon, the sun rose in the east, and the region had a new ruler—Black Dragon Mountain.

Jian Yitong and a stern-looking middle-aged man arrived together. "Is fellow daoist He around?" Their voices boomed across Black Dragon Mountain.

Chu Xuan, who had not left the cultivation world these past few days, appeared upon hearing them. The three entered the council hall.

The stern middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself, "I am Mei Yaoguang, an elder of the Hundred Refinements Sect, and also a junior brother of the same sect lineage as Elder Jian."

Chu Xuan greeted them with a fist and palm salute.

Mei Yaoguang took out a daoist robe, an elder's token, and a high-quality storage bag of immense capacity, handing them to Chu Xuan. "I have informed the sect master of everything about you, and he was delighted. He immediately agreed to have you join the Hundred Refinements Sect.

He has also granted you authority over Black Dragon Mountain and a radius of three thousand li. Such a vast territory is indeed enviable even among other Golden Core elders."

Mei Yaoguang continued smiling, "From now on, you are Elder He of the Hundred Refinements Sect, capable of establishing your own doctrines and teachings. You will have unrestricted access to the sect's treasure and scripture vaults. Of course, exchanging various treasures still requires sect contributions."

Chu Xuan accepted each item one by one, pondering the astuteness of the Hundred Refinements Sect. They had assigned the region around Black Dragon Mountain directly to him.

At first glance, it seemed they were granting him the opportunity to establish his own sect there. In reality, they positioned him as a bulwark against the Heaven Burning Sect. Merely a few thousand li to the south lay the territory of the Heaven Burning Sect!

Despite these thoughts, Chu Xuan's face betrayed none of his emotions. Instead, he offered a smile, "Convey my thanks to the sect master for his generosity."

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Mei Yaoguang, seeing Chu Xuan's cooperative demeanor, smiled as well. "Of course." After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he piloted his flying magic treasure away.

Jian Yitong looked towards Chu Xuan, his expression somewhat awkward. "Apologies, fellow daoist He. The territories of Yan country have already been allocated, and new Golden Core cultivators can only be assigned to this part of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

However, my Heavenly Sword Sect is just beside you. In a few days, another newly advanced Golden Core elder will also come to establish his base here. The three of us will form a strategic triangle to support each other in case of any incidents. If the Heaven Burning Sect attacks, you need not worry—our sect will defend us with all its might."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly. The Hundred Refinements Sect's bold move to absorb the Hundred Sects Alliance was undoubtedly backed by the confidence to disregard any non-aggression pacts. This, he was not worried about.

After Jian Yitong departed, Song Junjie and Qian Tang scurried up to Chu Xuan and knelt silently before him, waiting for him to speak. Their lives were in his hands, after all.

Chu Xuan spoke indifferently, "From now on, I am an elder of the Hundred Refinements Sect, and you are its disciples. This land within three thousand li is under the purview of our Black Dragon Mountain lineage."

Song Junjie and Qian Tang's eyes widened in surprise. Just like that, we've become disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect? This was an enormous boon!

Chu Xuan continued calmly, "I cultivate virtue, which you cannot learn. Thus, teach whatever you wish to teach, and propagate whatever you wish to propagate. Henceforth, our Black Dragon Mountain will embrace all streams and foster inclusivity."

Song Junjie and Qian Tang exchanged looks.

'Cultivate virtue? Do you believe it?'

'I certainly don't.'

At that moment, Chu Xuan recalled the sources of sect contributions for the Hundred Refinements Sect. Besides eliminating enemies from opposing sects and fulfilling sect missions, a primary source was the successful instruction of disciples.

A multitude of strong disciples would naturally bring abundant contributions. When the time came, whatever was needed could simply be exchanged with a wave of his hand.

Chu Xuan stated casually, "As for cultivation, I have but one requirement."

Song Junjie and Qian Tang immediately perked up their ears to listen.

Chu Xuan stated indifferently, "Qi Refining disciples, once you have drawn qi into your body and embarked on the path of immortality, if you do not advance to the middle stage of Qi Refining within five years, you shall be transformed into a corpse puppet.

Similarly, if a middle-stage Qi Qi Refining disciple does not break through to the late stage within five years, they too shall be made into a corpse puppet. The same applies to Foundation Establishment disciples."

For those at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, if they do not reach the middle stage within ten years. And those at the middle stage, if they do not advance to the late stage within ten years, they will all be turned into corpse puppets."

Song Junjie and Qian Tang's eyes widened in shock.

You just said you cultivate virtue. Listen to yourself! Are these the words someone who cultivates virtue would say?

"Hmm? Do you wish to say something?" Chu Xuan glanced at them.

Song Junjie and Qian Tang shuddered as if a supreme beast had glanced at them.

"We have nothing to say, absolutely nothing," Qian Tang said seriously.

Chu Xuan continued, "There are too few Foundation Establishment cultivators. Within a month, Black Dragon Mountain must have at least five. The number of Qi Refining disciples is also insufficient; we need at least a hundred within a month. This task is also yours to handle."

Song Junjie and Qian Tang were dumbfounded.

Chu Xuan casually waved his hand, and several magic tools fell before them. "These are yours now, use them well. Perform well and there will be rewards."

The two looked down and their eyes lit up. They were all high-grade magic tools, and there was even an top-grade magic tool!

Chu Xuan casually added, "If you fail to complete the task, you two will also be turned into corpse puppets."

The two shivered and quickly nodded their heads.

After Chu Xuan left, Qian Tang managed a bitter smile, "Brother Song, what should we do?"

Song Junjie said coldly, "To complete the master's task is difficult yet simple."

Qian Tang was puzzled, "What do you mean by simple?"

A ruthless glint appeared in Song Junjie's eyes, "Abduct them! If they don't want to come to Black Dragon Mountain, we'll make them. Aren't you skilled in Gu techniques? Just like the master controls us, control those Foundation Establishment cultivators.

With a month's time and the master's gifted magic tools, it's more than enough! Once Black Dragon Mountain's notorious reputation spreads, it won't matter if no mortals come for the spiritual seed selection. Then we'll go town by town, directly capturing mortals with spiritual roots and bringing them back!"

Qian Tang took a sharp breath as if seeing Song Junjie in a new light.

Qian Tang solemnly said, "Brother Song, you are ruthless enough. Let's do it!"
