Chapter 735: The Day of the Blood River Approaches (3)
Kill a zombie of the Heavenly Demon Realm? What are they trying to do? Go to the Immortal Alliance for a reward? That’s too overconfident, isn’t it? A zombie of the Heavenly Demon Realm has strength comparable to a Heavenly Immortal. Even in the entire Immortal Realm, you can’t find many Immortals who can match it!
The guest with the mustache said with a disdainful smile.
“It’s not for a reward, but for future rewards!” said his companion, with a wolf-like face, in a profound tone.
“Brother Lang, if you have something to say, just say it. Why the secrecy?”
The guest with the mustache said unhappily.
“Brother Shang, have you heard the news? The Immortal Alliance recently found a remnant body of an External Heavenly Dao, and they also discovered that zombies can read the memories of this remnant body by sucking blood!” the immortal surnamed Lang confirmed.
“I haven’t heard of it. Such a strange thing.”
The cultivator surnamed Shang showed surprise on his face.
“Yes, if you think about it, if they follow the clues, they can quickly clear out the remnants of the External Heavenly Dao in the myriad worlds.”
The immortal surnamed Lang reminded him.
“Indeed. This is not good for us Immortals. The Immortal Alliance has always been generous with its rewards for finding External Heavenly Dao remnants. Once they are canceled, who will make up for this lack of nourishment for us?”
The immortal surnamed Shang’s face became serious.
“Nourishment?”
The immortal surnamed Lang sneered and said, “Brother Shang, you are too naive. Eating food provides nourishment, and eating feces also provides nourishment. It’s just a matter of eating more meals. Is such a small reward worth them going against the Immortal Alliance? Moreover, that zombie is powerful, and you could lose your life if you’re not careful!”
“That’s true!”
The immortal surnamed Shang reacted, and then asked with curiosity, “If that’s the case, then what are they after?”
“Hmph!”
The immortal surnamed Lang sneered, then activated his Spiritual Sense Shield and crushed a soundproofing talisman, before asking in a low voice, “Brother Shang, do you still remember what the original intention of cultivation was?”
“Uh…”
The immortal surnamed Shang’s expression stiffened, and then he became awkward.
“You dare not say? Then let me remind you, the original intention of our cultivation is to defy the heavens. This heaven refers to the Five Elements Heavenly Dao. As long as you cannot defeat the Heavenly Dao, you will never escape fate. Aging, sickness, and death are bound to happen.”
The immortal surnamed Lang explained with a serious face.
“Brother, please don’t say it!”
The immortal surnamed Shang showed fear on his face.
“Because we ourselves are products of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, no matter how we cultivate, our upper limit will not exceed it. Defeating it is naturally a fantasy! The only way is to borrow the power of other Heavenly Dao!”
The immortal surnamed Lang continued to explain, unmoved.
“No way, how could such a small fry know about this? It seems this method is not a secret in the Immortal Realm.”
Qi Huang was extremely shocked to hear this.
“You mean these people want to borrow the power of the External Heavenly Dao to defy the heavens, and killing that zombie is to prevent the Immortal Alliance from eradicating all remnants of the External Heavenly Dao?”
The immortal surnamed Lang’s eyes widened, and he even forgot to be afraid.
“That’s right. The Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, with countless Immortals and cultivators. Among them are law-abiding citizens like us, and also many ambitious brave individuals!”
The immortal surnamed Shang showed admiration on his face.
“I see!”
The immortal surnamed Lang finally understood, but then asked with doubt:
“But that doesn’t make sense either. Although there aren’t many powerful evil spirits in the Immortal Realm, there are countless zombie minions and the like. What’s the use of them just killing that zombie in the Black Dragon Nebula?”
“There are restrictions on the time frame for zombies to read memories from blood. The stronger their strength, the further back the memories they read. This is common knowledge in the Immortal Realm, you should know that, right?”
The immortal surnamed Shang first reminded him, then explained the reason: “The battle between that External Heavenly Dao and the Five Elements occurred tens of thousands of years ago. If you want to figure out where its remnant bodies fell, you can only find a powerful zombie to read them. And in the entire Immortal Realm, only that zombie in the Black Dragon Nebula can meet the requirements. As long as it is killed, the Immortal Alliance will completely lose the opportunity to follow the clues!”
“Understood!”
The doubt on the immortal surnamed Lang’s face completely disappeared.
“Of course, there are also some opportunists. Because there will be battles, some people will fall, and their magic treasures, weapons, and the like will become masterless objects. If they can get a powerful one, it might make them soar to the heavens!”
The immortal surnamed Shang continued.
“Brother Shang, what you said is very true. It seems I still need to go and pick up some scraps!”
The immortal surnamed Lang’s eyes became fervent.
“Think carefully. I heard that several Immortal Kings are going there. This battle will definitely be world-ending. Don’t end up losing your shirt trying to steal a chicken!”
The immortal surnamed Shang kindly reminded him.
“Hehe, I really don’t have the courage to defy the heavens, but I have the courage to pick up scraps. Otherwise, I might as well find a woman to marry and have children,” the immortal surnamed Lang said self-mockingly.
“There’s one more thing I need to remind you. It’s only one month until the Day of the Blood River that Tian Ji Zi spoke of. Could it be this event in the Black Dragon Nebula?”
The immortal surnamed Shang said again.
“…”
The immortal surnamed Shang’s expression was shocked, and then he showed hesitation.
Lu Yao withdrew her senses and then told her little maid what she had learned.
“This is not good news. If they get there first, then we won’t be able to nest in a magpie’s nest!”
An Xuan immediately realized this.
Lu Yao fell into thought. After a moment, she said, “How about this, I’ll see if I can buy a high-priority teleportation token for someone else.”
“Buy?”
An Xuan’s eyes showed a strange look.
“What?”
Lu Yao asked in confusion.
“Your servant truly admires your way of handling things, Master. If most Immortals or cultivators had your strength, they would probably think of killing and robbing first, but you, a zombie, think of buying. It’s truly ironic.”
An Xuan said with great admiration.
“Of all the people who can cultivate, which one doesn’t have a noble background? Without experiencing the hardships of the human world, how could they possibly value the lives of the weak?”
Lu Yao sneered, as she had seen too much of this kind of thing.
After that, the master and servant went out, hoping to buy two high-priority tokens.
As the saying goes, money makes the mare go. Since not all those going to the Black Dragon Nebula were ambitious people, but also many opportunists, the master and servant actually bought two high-priority tokens with a lot of money.
The next day, the master and servant entered the teleportation array and embarked on the journey to the Black Dragon Nebula with millions of cultivators.
Just as the two cultivators in the inn had said, all these people were heading towards the location of the zombie, but their purposes were different.
Because halfway through, someone learned about the zombie’s situation, and the master and servant indirectly obtained the information they wanted.
Tianhan Star is located at the edge of the Black Dragon Nebula, still very far from the Golden Edge Immortal Kingdom on the other side of the teleportation array. Even a cultivator at the early stage of Heavenly Immortal would need a month to fly there.
The master and servant were slightly relieved to hear this, because they were already a little late. If the zombie had already come into conflict with cultivators before reaching their destination, their plan would not be able to be implemented.
Although the journey was long, it was not slow at all. In just three days, the master and servant arrived at the Golden Edge Immortal Kingdom on the other side of the teleportation array.
Lu Yao knew that she had to get ahead of all the cultivators, so she did not waste any time with the fixed destination. She immediately took her maid and flew towards Tianhan Star. Along the way, she did see some cultivators who had arrived earlier speeding in that direction.
Lu Yao’s strength was formidable, and she quickly left all the cultivators behind. In just five days, she reached the space near Tianhan Star.
The master and servant looked at Tianhan Star. It was a celestial body that was entirely white. Because of the dense Yin Energy, the sky was filled with thick clouds. The rare portions of the surface that were exposed were also endless ice and snow.
“It’s truly freezing cold. No wonder it’s called Tianhan Star,” An Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
Lu Yao released her senses, and the entire situation of the celestial body came into view. The surface was indeed filled with evil spirits, and the largest source of Yin Energy had awakened. It was indeed a powerful male zombie.
“You wait here!”
Lu Yao instructed her maid and then charged towards the zombie at high speed.
The male zombie quickly sensed Lu Yao’s presence and looked up into the sky vigilantly.
Lu Yao soon landed a few dozen feet above the male zombie and said in a negotiating tone, “Can you move your lair? If you don’t want to die.”
