Asking about longevity

"The ancestor of the Zhang family has such a strong spiritual consciousness. If he eats it and then refines it, he should be able to overcome the bottleneck and reach the thirteen lines of spiritual consciousness..."

Mo Hua muttered in his heart.

Thirteen lines of divine consciousness...

For monks in the early stage of foundation building, the limit of their spiritual consciousness is the thirteen lines.

Once there are thirteen lines of spiritual consciousness, there is only one step away from the need for spiritual consciousness foundation building as mentioned by the master...

Mo Hua had some expectations in his heart.

Then he hesitated again.

"Do you want to eat now?"

The ancestor of the Zhang family’s remnant spirit is too strong. If you eat it forcefully, it will probably be very strong and it will take a long time to "digest"...

As for what is going on outside now, Mo Hua still doesn't know.

He did pass on the news about the corpse mine.

But in Nanyue City, no matter how you look at it, there is no force that can compete with the Lu family.

Now that Zhang Quan is also dead, Lu Chengyun is in charge of the Corpse King alone, and he is running the Ten Thousand Corpses Restoration Formation, refining corpses and controlling corpses at the same time. If his power continues to develop, no one in the second-level state can stop him...

"It's a bit troublesome..."

Mo Hua thought for a moment and decided to refine the founder of the Zhang family first.

The meat that reaches your mouth must be eaten as soon as possible.

By "eating" the founder of the Zhang family, he will be stronger, and even if something unexpected happens, he will be more confident.

Moreover, the founder of the Zhang family is very capable.

Although it was reduced to ashes by being bombarded by him, there was no guarantee that it would be able to come back to life and regain its spiritual consciousness.

Such old scoundrels are very insidious.

We must act prudently, we must eradicate the root causes, and eliminate all hidden dangers!

Eat it dry and wipe it all away, leaving no room for anything!

Mo Hua immediately took action and transformed his spiritual thoughts into a formation, preparing to refine the remnants of the bronze corpse of the founder of the Zhang family.

Just in case, he first used the Golden Lock Formation to lock the blue smoke that the Zhang family's ancestor had transformed into, and then manifested the Molten Fire Formation to slowly grill it with bright red flames.

After baking for a while, Mo Hua suddenly remembered.

The Zhang family not only has the founder, but also the elders of the Iron Corpse.

There were once eleven iron corpses, but now six are on the verge of death, leaving only shadows.

Of the five remaining iron corpses, four were defeated by the Zhang family's ancestor in the final battle of attrition. The remaining one was the eldest elder of the Zhang family, but he was also dying...

Mo Hua felt happy.

The founder of the Zhang family has strong spiritual thoughts and many methods.

Fortunately, I am timid...

No, it’s stable!

Using these iron corpses, I forced out the Zhang family's ancestor's tricks, consumed the Zhang family's ancestor's strength, and withstood the Zhang family's ancestor's beating...

Attack this old zombie by yourself again.

Finally, it was beaten to death.

Otherwise, it’s really hard to say whether we will win or lose...

Control the iron corpse, turn the iron corpse to your own use, use his spear and attack his shield.

"The Spiritual Piercing Array is so useful!"

The ink painting is full of admiration.

The iron corpse cannot be wasted...

Mo Hua gathered these iron corpses together and threw them into the molten fire formation together with the founder of the Zhang family.

From top to bottom of the Zhang family, from disciples to ancestors, including the ancestors of all generations, they were stewed in a pot of ink paintings...

Until the green smoke is "stewed" into white smoke, the ink painting is inhaled, and then slowly refined...

This time took a long time.

From Mo Hua defeating and controlling the two elders Zhang Quan and "Song" and "Si", to setting up a fishing ambush and hunting the other Iron Corpse elders of the Zhang family, to controlling the Iron Corpse, hunting down the Zhang family's ancestor and successfully killing him...

Five or six days have passed.

Mo Hua hid in the closed white coffin and knew nothing about it.

But at this time, outside, the war has broken out...

The foundation-building monks fought against the Iron Corpse, destroying mountains and cracking the ground.

The mine was ravaged by magic and power, the rocks were shattered and the slopes were pitted.

Under the foundation, there were Taoist soldiers forming a long formation, fighting against the tide of corpses.

The Taoist soldiers have strict military formations, enforce orders and prohibitions, and kill decisively. Corpses are everywhere in the mountains and fields, they are ferocious and ugly, and they are not afraid of death.

The fight between the two was magnificent and brutal.

The boundaries of Nanyue City are filled with walking corpses, and thousands of zombies are surrounding the city.

The gates of Nanyue City were closed tightly, and the mining cultivators gathered at the city wall to resist the walking corpses entering the city, as well as the monks who were bitten by the walking corpses, whose poison attacked their hearts and turned into walking corpses.

The city was covered with clouds and there was a sense of solemnity.

Everyone was anxious, not knowing whether the sun would be shining brightly tomorrow or whether it would be raining heavily.

If the Taoist court wins a big victory in the future, and all forces suppress the corpse mines and destroy the zombies, everything will be fine.

If Daoting is defeated, the surging corpse tide will engulf Nanyue City in an instant.

By then, the monks in the city will become food for zombies.

Some families and sect monks in the city did not want to live and die with the city, so they secretly escaped, but most of them were intercepted by scattered walking corpses on the way.

During the battle, once someone is injured and bleeds, the smell of blood will dissipate.

Soon, a large number of zombies arrived after smelling the fishy wind.

It might even lead to iron corpses.

Once the Iron Corpse appears, almost none of the fleeing monks will survive.

Among the corpses all over the mountains and plains.

Even a foundation-building monk might die at the hands of numerous first-grade zombies.

In the melee a few days ago, a foundation-building Taoist soldier commander was injured by an iron corpse. He broke away from the Taoist soldiers' formation and was annihilated by the tide of walking corpses.

No matter how many zombies he kills, more zombies will surge towards him, just like a drowning person, swallowed up by the tide of corpses. No matter how hard he struggles, he will eventually be unable to reach the shore, and will be bitten to death by the zombies alive...

Yang Jishan's heart was as sharp as a knife.

These Dao soldiers were all brothers who shared life and death with him, but they never expected that they would die tragically in this way in front of him.

But there was nothing he could do.

There are too many zombies and they are too strong.

Yang Jishan never expected that despite being so well prepared, he would still suffer such a big loss.

Everything was going well at first...

Three days ago, they acted at the last moment and attacked the Lu family with thunderous means.

The Lu family was suppressed.

Although some elders and disciples fought hard and escaped from the city, seeking refuge with Lu Chengyun.

But most of the Lu family's children were still afraid of Dao Ting and did not dare to resist.

The elders of the Lu family were banned from cultivation, and the disciples of the Lu family were also put under house arrest. A formation was set up at the door and they were not allowed to go out. They were left to deal with it later.

Later, when zombies besieged the city, some Lu family disciples became disloyal and wanted to secretly open the city gate and let zombies into the city so that they could join Lu Chengyun.

But when zombies enter the city, they will not recognize their relatives. The first people to eat are the children of the Lu family who open the door.

Later, Taoist soldiers and mining cultivators, together with the local Nanyue Sect monks, paid a heavy price to resist the walking corpses and re-seal the door.

Yang Jishan was so angry that he picked out a few Lu family disciples and elders who were causing trouble and chopped them all in front of the Lu family monks. This shocked everyone.

The Lu family has become more settled since then.

The problem is the corpse mine...

The battle in the corpse mine was far more difficult than they imagined.

At that time, they divided their forces into two groups, one to suppress the Lu family and the other to destroy the corpse mine.

The information is fine, the formation diagram is fine, and I know the layout of the formation, so it is easy to break the formation.

More than twenty of them built the foundation, and together with the Taoist soldiers, they worked together to smash the stone wall near the gate of the corpse mine, broke the formation patterns, and shattered the rocks, causing the natural huge stone gate to fall out of position and expose the gap.

Although the two iron corpses at the door were powerful, they were obviously no match for everyone.

Then he pushed all the way to the entrance of the stone palace.

Yang Jishan discovered that the corpse cultivators were well prepared and were clearly prepared.

Not only that, the dark mine was filled with corpse energy, and dense red dots lit up one by one.

These are the bloodthirsty eyes of zombies.

This was also expected by Yang Jishan.

Although it was a sneak attack, a head-on battle was inevitable.

Yang Jishan was born in the Yang family and was the commander of Taoist soldiers. He had experienced hundreds of battles and was naturally not afraid of battle.

The Foundation Establishment Commander charged forward, and the Taoist soldiers formed a formation, followed closely by the Foundation Establishment monks from other families and sects, supporting from both wings, and the ordinary Qi Refining monks followed suit.

The corpse cultivating technique is sinister, but in frontal group battles and charges, they are a ragtag group of people who are vulnerable to a single blow.

Most of the zombies they summoned fought on their own, unable to compete with the Tao soldiers and unable to stop the Tao soldiers' charge.

Once the corpse cultivator dies, the zombies under his control will lose control and attack any cultivator indiscriminately, including the corpse cultivator.

The Taoist soldiers were unstoppable for a moment.

Until Lu Chengyun came forward.

Behind him, followed a huge zombie with long fangs and red eyes with a hint of dark gold.

"King of Corpses!"

The monks who knew the rumors about Dao Ni trembled in their hearts when they saw it.

They had either calculated it, heard about it, or been warned secretly by monks from their sect or family.

This corpse king is the embryo of Dao evil!

Yang Jishan's heart palpitated, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The womb of evil must be strangled in the cradle!

"kill!"

Yang Jishan waved his hand, and the Taoist soldiers were armored and strong, sharing the same hatred of the enemy, and rushed away. The formations on the armor were connected with each other and echoed each other, forming a virtual shadow of a tiger.

Lu Chengyun looked indifferent and raised his arms.

The blood lines on the corpse king's chest lit up, and he roared to the sky, shaking the mountains with his voice.

The twenty iron coffins nearby trembled one after another. The coffins were opened and the iron corpses jumped out.

And in the mine, tens of thousands of walking corpses roared together, like thousands of ghosts walking at night, sweeping in, making people's scalp numb.

Fierce fighting breaks out.

Monks and zombies, blood energy and corpse energy, spells and corpse arts, fighting, competing and intertwining...

This is the largest battle among monks in the past eight hundred years on the border of Xiaohuang State.

After a fierce battle, the Taoist soldiers failed to capture the corpse mine, but suffered many casualties.

Lu Chengyun still occupies the corpse mine and controls the corpse king. He has dozens of iron corpses and tens of thousands of walking corpses under his command. No matter how powerful the Taoist soldiers attack, he still remains unmoved.

Yang Jishan was unable to attack for a long time, and his troops suffered more and more losses.

Moreover, during the battle, there were corpse cultivators stealing corpses.

These dead Taoist soldiers and monks are likely to be transformed into zombies by corpses, and soon they will open their fangs on their own people on the battlefield.

Yang Jishan had no choice but to retreat first.

Most of Lu Chengyun's men are zombies, and he is not afraid of attrition.

And his subordinates are all living people, and he cannot afford to waste them.

Not to mention, the dead monks would strengthen Lu Chengyun's strength.

Yang Jishan could only order to retreat first, but after retreating, he ordered Taoist soldiers to station outside and surround the corpse mine, hoping to trap Lu Chengyun to death.

Lu Chengyun then released thousands of zombies and controlled them to attack Nanyue City and surround Wei and rescue Zhao.

Thousands of walking corpses formed a tide of corpses.

All living monks encountered along the way were either reduced to blood food or nourishment, or were transformed into walking corpses and became part of the zombie tide.

Yang Jishan had no choice but to divide his troops to defend the city.

At the same time, it was ordered that all mining cultivators, casual cultivators, as well as family and sect monks be stationed in Nanyue City and not allowed to go out.

Let’s take a long-term approach to exterminating the corpse mine.

The Tao soldiers who were frustrated in the first battle, as well as all the forces in the Tao court, were stationed outside the mine, taking elixirs, healing their injuries, and resting.

In the cave where the discussion was taking place, everyone looked solemn.

Some people were angry and yelled:

"Lu Chengyun is this beast!"

"After training so many zombies, we allowed the zombies to attack the city."

"For the sake of self-interest, he has committed so many crimes and deserves to be killed!"

"It's normal for demons to act like magic. It's so strange that you don't see it..."

"Because we are demons, it is normal to do bad things? So we shouldn't be scolded?"

"Why are you angry with me..."

"With your character, you will fall into the devil's path sooner or later..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing..."

"Well, to be honest, in my long life, this is the first time I have seen such unscrupulous methods. It is also the first time I have seen someone able to make so many zombies..."

"The Taoist unified government, these days, very few demon cultivators dare to act like this..."

"That's because most of the magic practices are hidden and you can't see them."

"How can it be?"

Someone sneered, "Those glamorous and sanctimonious people, how do you know they are not cultivating demons behind them?"

"Just like the Lu Chengyun incident, if it hadn't been exposed, who would have known?"

"What you are saying is heartbreaking!"

"Humph, you can't understand..."

…

The huge cave was filled with noise.

Yang Jishan asked everyone to be silent and said in a deep voice:

"We'll talk about other things later. The most urgent task is to work together to find a way to capture the corpse mine!"

"The longer this matter is delayed, the greater the disaster will be!"

Yang Jishan's eyes were solemn.

After all, this Corpse King is related to Dao Evil.

Evil is the most terrifying thing...

Everyone was a little silent, and many people felt depressed.

Some of the people here are from small families and small sects. They are unfamiliar and nervous to participate in such a large-scale battle. They dare not say anything at this time.

The other part is indeed from a big sect and comes from a big family.

But it was obviously the first time to encounter such a big battle.

They were also a little overwhelmed.

And the opponents are countless zombies.

Only when they actually fought, they realized that in such a large-scale melee, there was really a limit to what one could do based on personal cultivation alone.

A monk asked: "Commander Yang, there is something I don't understand..."

Yang Jishan nodded and motioned for him to continue.

The monk then said: "Logically speaking, we have a large number of people. In this attack, there are Taoist soldiers charging into the battle. Even if we cannot attack the corpse mine, we should at least be able to severely damage these corpse cultivators..."

"In a group battle among monks, Taoist soldiers are always at their disadvantage."

"But why, not only did we fail to achieve success, but we also fell behind?"

Many of the monks present looked puzzled.

In the melee, their blood surged, and they only knew how to fight together, using whatever came to mind such as spiritual weapons, martial arts, and spells.

Follow Commander Yang's instructions and advance and retreat together.

If you can fight, fight; if you can't, then retreat.

They don't pay much attention to other things and don't think much about them.

They were also at a loss as to why they had the advantage and why they couldn't beat him.

Yang Jishan sighed, frowned and considered:

"If what I expected is correct, this corpse king can control dozens of iron corpses and nearly ten thousand walking corpses at the same time."

Everyone looked at each other, "So what?"

Didn’t you know this from the beginning...

"It's different," Yang Jishan shook his head, "This is not an ordinary corpse control."

He knew that the Daoting prohibited the inheritance of demonic practices, and ordinary monks did not deal with demonic cultivators.

Even some big forces and monks with inheritance have only a superficial understanding of demonic cultivation.

They don't understand the deep things at all.

Yang Jishan continued to explain:

"General corpse control is very crude and can only give simple orders, such as 'kill', 'eat', 'attack', or 'defend'."

"And once there are too many zombies under control, although these zombies have the same goal, they will fight independently, just like headless flies."

Yang Jishan looked grim, "But this time the zombies are completely different..."

"Zombies are still zombies, but the method of controlling them is very special and meticulous."

"All the zombies move in a uniform manner, attacking, defending, and retreating in their own way. This is unbelievable..."

"Even if the zombie is still the same zombie, its individual strength remains unchanged, but once there are rules, discipline, unified actions, and overall strength, it will be completely different."

Yang Jishan sighed, "This kind of thing is similar to a Taoist soldier. We generally call it a demonic Taoist 'corpse soldier'..."

Corpse soldiers...

Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.

…

On the other side, Lu Chengyun looked at the Corpse King in front of him and nodded slightly.

Zhang Quan is right, with the Corpse King, these zombies can indeed form 'corpse soldiers'.

In today's battle, the zombies formed an army and competed with Daoting's Taoist soldiers without losing.

Even because there is no pain, there is no fear of death or injury.

Corpse soldiers are even stronger than Dao soldiers.

Lu Chengyun sneered.

Although I don't know why, Tao Ting will get the news and send Tao soldiers to encircle and suppress him.

But this is in the second-level state boundary. There is a second-level corpse king who controls the iron zombies. They can't even think of conquering the corpse mine for a while.

Even if the corpse mine is captured in the end, he will still have plenty of ways to escape.

Just find a scapegoat then.

I can still get rid of Lu Chengyun's unsightly identity, start anew, and make a comeback...

As long as the Corpse King is still in his hands.

As long as he still controls the Spiritual Pivot Formation...

After all, formation is the foundation of an formation master.

Lu Chengyun smiled gently, his eyes showing a cold light.

Suddenly, his mind moved slightly and he thought of ink painting again...

He regarded the ink painting as a sacrifice and fed it to Zhang Quan's ancestor picture.

I wonder if they have been eaten after all these days...

Lu Chengyun had wanted to take a look for a long time, but the corpse mine was besieged and he was delayed. For a while, he couldn't get away.

Lu Chengyun said silently in his heart:

"After a while, when he is completely eaten, let's go and take a look. By the way, we can also transform the little monk's body into a little zombie and keep it by my side to serve me..."

Lu Chengyun's eyes darkened slightly.

But what he didn't know was that the Mo Hua was not eaten, but the Zhang family was about to be "eaten"...
