The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World-Chapter 416: Re-exploring the Seabed

"Immortal!"

It was unclear who shouted first, but soon the entire crowd erupted into a frenzy, their voices filled with overwhelming devotion.

Before someone with absolute martial power like an immortal, no one harbored any thoughts of resistance. In their hearts, Chu Xuan was the one true deity!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three figures rushed from various parts of the Enlightenment Institute and stood at the very front. They respectfully knelt halfway before Chu Xuan. "We greet the Immortal!"

Chu Xuan swept his gaze over them. Through his spiritual sense, their physical conditions were fully visible.

The three in the lead had indeed all reached the twentieth level of body refinement. Without further supplementation of nourishing flesh, this was their limit.

Chu Xuan casually inquired, "What are your names?"

The towering man in the center spoke in a deep voice, "Immortal, my name is Luo Gang."

The strong middle-aged man to his left responded, "Immortal, my name is Xiong Zhen."

The woman to his right, with a fuller figure, respectfully added, "Immortal, my name is Liu Huafang."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, "I haven't paid attention to the Enlightenment Institute for a long time. Have there been any recent achievements?"

The three of them wore bitter expressions. Luo Gang spoke with respect, "Immortal, in order to maintain the twentieth level of body refinement, we must consume vast amounts of nutrients daily. It is difficult to deduce higher-level techniques and martial arts. If our realms decline, it becomes even more impossible to deduce them."

The three of them spoke in unison, "We have failed to fulfill the Immortal's instructions. Please, Immortal, punish us."

They bowed deeply, their hearts filled with anxiety. The other students of the Enlightenment Institute, who had been watching, covered their mouths in shock, their hearts pounding with unease.

In their eyes, these three were like the undisputed overlords of the entire Blue Star. Yet here they were, bowing their heads in submission to the Immortal.

The Immortal truly wielded unimaginable power. More people were pondering the same question in their hearts. Would the Immortal punish them?

Some felt sympathy, others were eager, and still others were filled with anxiety.

In the dead silence that followed, Chu Xuan spoke slowly, "Your inability to deduce higher-level techniques and martial arts is not due to incompetence, but because of the limitations of your realm. All these years, you have devoted yourselves to deducing techniques and martial arts. You may not have achieved any credit, but you have certainly endured great hardship."

With a casual motion, he slapped his hand, and the Purple Star Rhinoceros Meat flew out from his storage bag.

"This is Purple Star Rhinoceros Meat, which contains immense life energy. It is a great tonic for body refinement. You three shall divide it equally. If all goes as expected, you will undoubtedly reach the twenty-first level of body refinement. Should you contribute to the Enlightenment Institute in the future, there will be more rewards from me."

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Chu Xuan waved his hand. The Purple Star Rhinoceros Meat slowly flew toward the three of them and landed before them. As they gazed at the meat, which glistened under the sunlight, the three were stunned. Just a slight sniff was enough for them to detect the immense life force energy contained within, far surpassing any animal they had encountered in the world!

This was no mere flesh. It was clearly a path leading to a higher realm! The three of them lowered their heads in reverence.

"Thank you for your grace, Immortal! We will spare no effort to fulfill the Immortal's command!"

Chu Xuan smiled faintly. "Good. With such determination, what is there to fear in achieving great things?"

Just as he was about to leave, Luo Gang suddenly called out.

"Immortal! We have something to report. Could we discuss it in another place?"

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment. "Let us go to the top of the Enlightenment Institute."

Moments later.

Chu Xuan, along with Luo Gang and the others, arrived at the top of the Enlightenment Institute. The height was an impressive six hundred meters— the tallest building in the vicinity.

"What is it?" Chu Xuan asked, standing with his hands clasped behind his back.

Luo Gang looked at Liu Huafang, who immediately stepped forward and respectfully said, "Immortal, as you know, we have been searching for sufficiently nutritious flesh for a long time. We've scoured all the land-based animals and are now beginning to search in the ocean. Marine creatures generally have higher nutritional value and are more suitable for human cultivation. But in one particular ocean, we found something strange."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Do tell."

Liu Huafang clapped her hands, and immediately, eight strong men appeared, laboriously carrying a thick bone. They struggled to move it, their faces turning red with exertion. The bone resembled a human thigh bone, but its length was a staggering five meters. From the eight men's strained faces, it was clear that the bone's weight was immense.

Chu Xuan casually reached out. The heavy bone was immediately lifted by his spiritual force, floating effortlessly in mid-air. The sight of him lifting such a massive object with ease left Luo Gang and the others utterly astonished. They had already measured the bone's weight—it was over ten tons.

For someone at the twentieth level of body refinement, moving it was incredibly taxing. Yet the Immortal made it look like child's play. Such truly divine abilities!

Chu Xuan examined the bone for a moment, and an answer began to form in his mind. He had experienced a unique sensation while cultivating over the ocean in the past.

After sinking into the deep ocean, he had discovered the remains of a giant and the bizarre zombies feeding on its body. Embedded within the giant's heart was a Psionic Cube.

This bone, too, seemed to resemble those within the giant's body. But...

He distinctly remembered that the giant had been in perfect health. How had such a bone appeared in the shallow sea, where Liu Huafang had found it? Could it be that there were more than one giant?

Now that his physical strength was sufficient, he felt it was time to investigate. Chu Xuan thought to himself.

"The sea harbors great dangers. Do not venture too deep."

Luo Gang and the others were immediately startled, nodding in agreement. "Thank you, Immortal, for the warning!"

With a casual flick of his hand, the white leg bone slowly dropped to the ground without a tremor, not even disturbing the rooftop.

"Good leg bone. It can be forged into a weapon. Keep it for yourselves."

Having said that, he rose into the air, controlling the Qi to depart.

The three bowed deeply in respect. They only rose once Chu Xuan's figure had completely disappeared.

...

Elsewhere.

Chu Xuan had already arrived over the East Sea. In the next moment, he shot downwards like a cannonball, plunging straight into the ocean. He sped down toward the depths of the ocean.

One thousand meters... two thousand meters... three thousand meters...

This time, he reached an impressive depth of eight thousand meters before he began to feel a slight pressure. The last time, he had felt pressure at only five thousand meters.

Before long, guided by the subtle connection between the Psionic Cubes, Chu Xuan arrived at the same spot as last time. This location was at a depth of ten thousand meters beneath the sea.

Compared to last time, this time, Chu Xuan moved freely, unimpeded. He turned his gaze to the giant's corpse. As expected, the strange zombies were still feeding on the remains. But no matter how much of the flesh they consumed, the Psionic Cube caused it to regenerate, making it impossible for them to finish eating.

The zombies never considered leaving this endless feast. Why go elsewhere when they could feed here, lying still? Humans were not the only ones reluctant to leave their comfort zones. Zombies, it seemed, were no different.

"Hmm, this green grass... it's spreading more and more. It's even parasitizing some of the zombies now."

Chu Xuan observed the lush greenery that had spread across a large portion of the ocean floor with some surprise.
