Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 54 – Tame Hui Kong, and the soul will be perfected
Wan Wuying shrugged, "How would I know?"
Chu Xuan felt helpless.
He had intended to keep a low profile, but ended up being sold out by his boastful master.
Having a master who loves to show off is truly a headache.
He cupped his hands towards Zhao Wuya, "Senior Zhao, the destruction of the Wuji Sect made me realize the harsh truth of survival of the fittest in the cultivation world."
"That day was like an awakening."
"Plus, I was lucky enough to have some fortuitous encounters, which allowed my realm to soar."
"My aptitude is actually no better than Senior Brother Li or Brother Liu."
"It's just good luck."
Chu Xuan was well aware of his own cultivation aptitude.
It was indeed just good luck.
If he hadn't obtained the Blood Mirror and stumbled upon the apocalypse planet Ocean Blue Star as his backyard, how could he have reached his current realm and strength?
Wan Wuying nodded slightly at his humility.
Zhao Wuya also nodded in agreement.
Fortuitous encounters are rare and unpredictable.
In the cultivation world, there are countless stories of people accidentally discovering the cave dwellings of powerful predecessors after falling off a cliff.
Some people even manage to leap from being a mortal to the Foundation Establishment stage overnight.
In comparison, Chu Xuan's fortuitous encounter wasn't all that surprising.
If he truly had such an encounter, it wouldn't be shocking for Chu Xuan's realm to skyrocket in just two years.
Zhao Wuya nodded and remarked, "Old Ghost Wan, you've got a promising disciple."
Wan Wuying chuckled proudly.
Zhao Wuya cupped his hands, "I will report the situation to the sect master. In no more than two days, there will be a formal appointment."
"For these two days, please rest at Feishan Hall."
Wan Wuying nodded, "Alright, I'll await your good news, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Wuya stomped the ground and flew off, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The middle-aged cultivator who had previously received Wan Wuying quickly approached.
He respectfully said, "Senior Wan, my name is Li Shan, an inner sect steward of Tianyin Gate, currently responsible for all affairs at Feishan Hall."
"I have arranged temporary cave dwellings for the fellow cultivators from Extreme Yin Cave. As for you, Senior Wan..."
Wan Wuying waved his hand, "Arrange it as you see fit."
"Once the formal appointment arrives in two days, I will establish my own cave dwelling."
"Understood." Li Shan acknowledged and left.
"Everyone, go rest." Wan Wuying waved his hand.
Under the guidance of the Tianyin Gate cultivators, Chu Xuan and the others proceeded to their temporary cave dwellings.
Chu Xuan chose a cave dwelling halfway up the mountain.
Upon entering, he immediately assessed the situation inside the cave dwelling.
After confirming that no one could spy on his formations, he began setting them up.
Once the various formations for concealment, warning, and ambush were in place, he finally sat cross-legged on the stone bed and relaxed.
Reflecting on the past few days, even Chu Xuan was somewhat amazed.
"I didn't expect my strength to be this formidable."
"Hui Kong's strength was among the top of the younger generation of Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet I defeated him without even using the Gu Insect."
"This means my strength should be able to suppress most early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."
Chu Xuan smiled slightly, gaining a clearer understanding of his own strength.
Currently, he was only at the second layer of Foundation Establishment, yet he could suppress most early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Once he reached the third layer, even fourth-layer cultivators wouldn't be his match.

With the Blood Mirror in hand and the zombie-infested Ocean Blue Star as support, all of this was within reach.
"Hmm, the Soul Reaping Chain is reacting."
Chu Xuan's heart stirred as he took out the Soul Reaping Chain.

The soul within the chain had yet to settle.
Originally, he planned to use Sun Shi's soul as the main soul.
But later, he obtained Hui Kong's soul and decided to throw it into the chain as well.
Now, the two souls were competing, and a victor had emerged.
Roar!
A victorious roar echoed from within the Soul Reaping Chain.
Chu Xuan focused his gaze and saw Hui Kong tearing apart Sun Shi's soul and devouring it in a few bites.
With a thought, he summoned Hui Kong.
Now, Hui Kong was merely a soul, his eyes filled with ferocity and bloodlust, devoid of any human rationality.
Upon seeing Chu Xuan, he immediately lunged forward.
But with a thought from Chu Xuan, the Soul Reaping Chain lashed out.
Crack!
Hui Kong winced in pain, his soul dimming significantly.
Yet he didn't retreat, continuing to glare viciously at Chu Xuan.
Crack!
The chain lashed again.
Hui Kong's soul dimmed once more.
Crack! Crack!
After a dozen lashes, Hui Kong's soul was nearly transparent, on the verge of dissipating.
Even Chu Xuan frowned.
He couldn't continue; otherwise, it would be gone.
However, at this moment, Hui Kong's gaze finally became submissive.
He obediently floated beside Chu Xuan, not daring to act rashly.
Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
It was done.
With Hui Kong's current ferocity, he was well-suited to be the main soul of the Soul Reaping Chain.
In the future, when capturing cultivators' souls, he could let Hui Kong devour them to strengthen himself.
As Chu Xuan's Life Artifact, the Soul Reaping Chain would only grow stronger.
Hui Kong's strength would naturally increase as well.
"Good, let's continue practicing the Divine Forging Technique."
Chu Xuan didn't put away the Soul Reaping Chain, allowing Hui Kong to roam the cave dwelling.
He closed his eyes and continued practicing the Divine Forging Technique, honing his divine soul.
Hui Kong occasionally showed ferocity towards Chu Xuan but suppressed it out of fear.
Ultimately, he remained obedient.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Outside the cave dwelling, Xu Ming's voice called out.
"Chu... Uncle Chu!"
"The appointment from Tianyin Gate has arrived! The Ancestor asked me to summon you!"
Chu Xuan exhaled and ended his practice, striding out of the cave dwelling.
A gleam flashed in his eyes, making Xu Ming shiver in fear.
"Speak," Chu Xuan said calmly.
Xu Ming quickly replied, "Our Extreme Yin Cave lineage has been fully integrated into Tianyin Gate."
"However, we won't be going to the Tianyin Gate's main sect. Instead, we'll establish a cave dwelling in Wuzhou and assist Feishan Hall in expanding its territory."
Chu Xuan smiled slightly.
As he expected.
Tianyin Gate couldn't refuse a Golden Elixir cultivator and four Foundation Establishment cultivators delivered to their doorstep.
Not going to the main sect and establishing a cave dwelling on-site was the best choice.
"Where is Master?" Chu Xuan asked.
Xu Ming respectfully replied, "He is currently selecting a location rich in spiritual energy to establish the cave dwelling. The Ancestor instructed you to fly south, and you should see him."
"Alright." Chu Xuan nodded.
He immediately took out the Heavenly Force Flying Sword, flew into the air, and headed south.
Xu Ming watched his departing figure with both envy and admiration.
"In the future, I want to be like Uncle Chu!"
He clenched his fists, making a silent vow.
Chu Xuan flew south.
Soon, he noticed a streak of light flying back and forth in the sky.
Li Xuanming, Liu Zhenxiong, and Wu Teng were hovering in mid-air on their flying artifacts, waiting.
He approached them.
"Junior Brother Chu." The three of them smiled and nodded when they saw him.
"Junior Brother Chu's divine soul seems to have improved," Liu Zhenxiong suddenly remarked.
Chu Xuan nodded, "Indeed, I've mastered the first layer of the Divine Forging Technique."
Liu Zhenxiong praised, "That's quick. Others take three to five years to master the first layer of the Divine Forging Technique."
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from the mountain ahead.
It was evident that Wan Wuying was starting to establish the cave dwelling.
"Let's go over." Li Xuanming's eyes gleamed.
