Under the soul search, Lin Jiu discovered that this so-called evil old man was actually a member of the Taoist sect, one of the evil cultivators in the Celestial Master's Mansion who could never see the light of day. These zombies were all for the purpose of cultivating the most perfect body from them.
At this moment,
Lin Jiu felt that what he believed in had collapsed in an instant.
He originally thought that the Taoist sect was dedicated to helping the world and saving people, and that those who cultivated the Tao were true heroes who slayed demons and monsters in the human world.
But only now does he realize how cruel the truth is; it was all just a game, a game played by those in power.
All living beings in the world are being fooled without realizing it, and instead they should be grateful!
Oh!
Ridiculous, this is absolutely ridiculous!
This old heretical cultivator held a mediocre position among them, having been in the business for many years and possessing considerable knowledge, though he had likely not yet truly grasped the core of the matter.
After the soul search was completed, Lin Jiu directly killed him. Looking at his dissipating corpse, Lin Jiu's eyes were filled with only determination.
No matter how turbulent the world may be, his Daoist heart will never change; he now has the power to change everything.
One day, Lin Jiu will tear off their disguise, remove the trash, and bring peace to the world.
Master once said: To establish a heart for Heaven and Earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to continue the lost learning of the past sages, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations!
Upon first hearing these four sentences, Lin Jiu felt his blood boil. No man doesn't want to help the world and become a great hero for the country and its people. However... some things are cruel.
Regardless, Lin Jiu engraved it in his heart; it was the goal he would strive for throughout his life.
With the evil cultivator dead, there were no more zombies left in the cave. After destroying the cave, Lin Jiu left immediately.
After Lin Jiu returned, he naturally told Lu Chuan about what had happened.
Upon hearing this,
Lu Chuan said, "Do whatever you want. With your current cultivation level, no one in this world can hurt you. You can also take this opportunity to gain some experience."
Hearing his master say this, Lin Jiu nodded and replied, "Yes, Master!"
...
Soon,
In a small town at the foot of Mount Mao in the Nakagawa region,
In the memories of that heretical cultivator, beneath this town lay a vast site for creating corpses.
The zombies in the entire province of Nakagawa are almost all created in the underground corpse-making facilities of this small town.
Lin Jiu came here naturally to destroy this corpse-making site. Upon entering the town, Lin Jiu couldn't help but sigh. The town was built using feng shui formations. The world above ground and the world below ground were completely different. If one had a high level of cultivation, one would not be able to see through the formation or detect any clues.
Those who can detect it are either eliminated by the Maoshan Daoist sect or are a bunch of snakes and rats.
snort!
After entering the town,
Lin Jiu randomly found an inn to stay at and, after dinner,
The innkeeper warned, "Sir, things haven't been peaceful in town these past few days. Try not to go out at night. There's a zombie outbreak around. If you hear any noise, don't leave your room, and definitely don't leave the inn. That way, nothing will happen!"
This wasn't just the innkeeper exaggerating; the inn had talismans inscribed on it and many Taoist artifacts, so most zombies wouldn't even dare to come near.
"Thank you for the reminder, boss!" Lin Jiu said, cupping his hands in greeting.
As soon as he finished speaking,
Several people entered the inn. Looking towards the sound, Lin Jiu frowned slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Among these people was an acquaintance, Shi Shan!
Lin Jiu turned and left immediately, putting on a mask as he did so. He didn't want Shi Shan to recognize him, and naturally, he couldn't let anyone else recognize him either.
What he was about to do shook the interests of too many people, and those were extremely powerful ones. He himself had not yet reached his true peak, and even now he couldn't withstand a single move from his master. Exposing himself now would be too unsafe; he had to lie low for now. This was the true path to kingship.
That night,
Shishan and the others left the inn and headed towards the place where the zombies had appeared.
Lin Jiu followed them silently. Given Lin Jiu's cultivation level, Wu Shan and the others didn't notice him at all.
soon,
When Shishan and his group arrived, they happened to encounter a zombie attempting to kill someone. Shishan and the others immediately took action and engaged the zombie in battle.
Looking at Shi Shan, who had been hailed as a prodigy by the sect leader of Longhu Mountain three years ago, Lin Jiu's eyes flashed with disdain and contempt.
In three years, Shi Shan has only reached the Nascent Soul stage, a world apart from me. Can this really be called a prodigy?!
Forehead……!
etc!
This is not due to Shi Shan's talent, but because of his master. If Shi Shan had not chosen Longhu Mountain, with his talent, what level would he have reached under his master's guidance?
At this moment,
Lin Jiu put away his disdain and contempt. If it weren't for his master, and if Shi Shan hadn't been so determined to stay at Longhu Mountain, he wouldn't even be worthy of carrying Shi Shan's shoes!
In this life, fate brings us together, and who can say for sure? There are still seven years left until the ten-year agreement. Who can guarantee that Shishan won't have other opportunities and good fortune during these seven years?
You know, sometimes luck and opportunity are more important than talent, like... yourself!
My impulsive decision to become an apprentice was truly the greatest opportunity and blessing of my life.
At this moment,
Lin Jiu's heart was in turmoil.
In a short time, Shishan and his group had already dealt with several zombies.
Before Shi Shan and the others could even feel happy or joyful, a terrifying aura descended.
Looking in the direction of the sound, a zombie clad in golden armor and wielding a long sword appeared.
"Senior brother, the golden-armored corpse is at the Nascent Soul stage. We are no match for it. Let's go!" someone beside Shi Shan hurriedly said.
Upon hearing this,
Shi Shan said with a solemn expression, "At this distance, given the strength of the Golden Armor Corpse, it's not something we can just walk through at will. Fortunately, it's only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If we join forces and fight to the death, we might still have a chance!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Shi Shan's fellow disciples turned grim. They were clearly terrified of the golden-armored corpse, knowing that with their cultivation levels, they were no match for it.
"Escape is certain death; only by joining forces can we have any hope!" Shi Shan said again in a deep voice.
After saying that,
Shi Shan was the first to rush forward. Seeing this, the other disciples, though unsure of their own abilities, had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. After all, their senior brother was going, so he must have some trump card.
However,
However, after a hundred moves, Shi Shan was clearly exhausted, and his cultivation and combat power had both dropped significantly. Even if the treasure bestowed by the sect leader had saved him from this calamity, if I were still in this state, I would probably not be able to continue fighting!
Seeing that he could no longer withstand the golden-armored corpse and was about to become a victim of its blade,
At that very moment, Lin Jiu decisively made his move. A flash of white lightning struck, and the golden-armored corpse was instantly killed. The surrounding low-level zombies were also easily slaughtered.
Regarding the matter of saving Shi Shan, it didn't really matter whether Lin Jiu saved him or not. Shi Shan naturally had someone protecting him in secret, and he wouldn't have been in any trouble even if Lin Jiu hadn't intervened. However, Lin Jiu still intervened. Shi Shan couldn't die. If Shi Shan died, where would he find an opponent?
The ten-year agreement is not yet fulfilled!
