Blood Sacrifice To Millions Of Zombies, I Will Be A Demon Cultivator In The Apocalypse

Chapter 102: Advancing to Ghost King! Manifesting Holiness

Under the blessing of the power of incense, this flame is similar to Samadhi True Fire, of course, only similar, far inferior in level, but it already possesses an unimaginable terrifying temperature.

Although currently, the Five Organs Temple's Five Sons' Spirit Ascension Demon Infants have only successfully offered one Fire-Spitting Infant to the divine altar, there is still a long way to go before all five divine spirit children are refined together.

But it has already caused Zheng Yi's strength to skyrocket, almost equivalent to the combat power of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator.

Especially, this Heart Fire originates from the power of the heart, nourished and grown by the power of incense, and is the nemesis of eerie and terrifying ghosts.

Looking at the ghosts surging forward, bringing with them a black mist, Zheng Yi raised his hand and threw the flame out.

The speed seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, the flame collided with the black-armored Yin Ghost.

Boom!

In an instant, the eyes of the ferocious and murderous black-armored Yin Ghost were filled with astonishment. It opened its mouth and let out a painful roar.

The flame surged and directly turned into a raging fire, completely enveloping the black-armored Yin Ghost.

The burning flames illuminated the darkness, and the black mist was pushed back. The flames burned through the unstable ghostly apparitions.

In a short period of time, the black-armored Yin Ghost was burned into a black bead and fell to the ground.

The Blood-Clothed Female Ghost quickly picked up the bead and respectfully presented it to Zheng Yi, bowing her head and raising her hands above her head, displaying an extremely respectful attitude.

With a wave of his hand, the bead flew into his hand. He could clearly feel the surging essence of the ghost contained within, all of which was the essence left behind by the incinerated black-armored Yin Ghost.

Zheng Yi's gaze immediately shifted to the Blood-Clothed Female Ghost. His gaze fell on the main soul of the Soul-Capturing Banner, immediately making the Blood-Clothed Female Ghost feel an endless pressure weighing on her.

It made her even more frightened. If she were not incorporeal, the Blood-Clothed Female Ghost might have already been drenched in sweat.

"It's up to you now. Don't disappoint me and successfully advance to the Ghost King stage!"

Obviously, Zheng Yi was very satisfied with the attitude of the Blood-Clothed Female Ghost just now. With a casual throw, he directly threw the black ghost bead to her.

Instantly, the Blood-Clothed Female Ghost was ecstatic. She put the black ghost bead into her mouth and ran directly into the depths of the dark and trembling black mist to cultivate in seclusion.

Zheng Yi did not stop there. He summoned the Yin Soldiers and contracted the remaining resentful spirits and fierce ghosts in the ghostly apparitions one by one, collecting them into the Soul-Capturing Banner.

Because the Soul-Capturing Banner had already reached the level of a Foundation Building Stage Law Weapon, its capacity to hold ghosts had been greatly enhanced, both in terms of quantity and quality.

In a short time, Zheng Yi contracted dozens of ghosts, all of which were thrown into the Soul-Capturing Banner without exception. But he showed no signs of stopping.

After gathering a total of three hundred Yin Soldiers, Zheng Yi finally stopped. He found a clean area, sat cross-legged, activated the Black Evil Qi, and sprayed the profound demonic aura onto the Soul-Capturing Banner, assisting in refining the newly acquired ghosts.

The flames continued for a full day and night. Along the way, Zheng Yi had to hold a spiritual stone in his left hand and continue to release the profound ink demonic aura with his right hand to sustain it for such a long time.

Of course, hard work did not go unrewarded. After expending a great deal of energy, he finally completely refined the three hundred Yin Soldiers that had been collected into the Soul-Capturing Banner, merging them into one.

Standing up and stretching a bit, Zheng Yi continued to wave the Soul-Capturing Banner.

Suddenly, a formation containing three hundred Yin Soldiers officially took shape, with neat formations and a unified aura, giving off an extremely heavy oppressive feeling.

Because time was running out, Zheng Yi directly collected the remaining ghosts. Some were strong, some were weak, and they were quite varied.

However, these were not important matters.

As long as they stayed in the Soul-Capturing Banner for a period of time, Zheng Yi had ways to improve the strength of these ghostly soldiers. If they could devour some ghosts, the speed would be even faster.

In short, the Soul-Capturing Banner, as a Law Weapon, was originally used to tame ghostly soldiers, following the path of a violent army, and did not require each individual ghost to become extremely powerful.

At this moment, Zheng Yi's gaze turned towards the depths of the black mist, as if waiting for something.

"It should be soon!"

Roar! Roar!

Just as Zheng Yi was lost in thought, suddenly, from the depths of darkness, black mist trembled and opened up like a giant mouth, bursting with strong suction, devouring all the lingering black mist in one go.

Sounds of cracking came from the surrounding space, crisp yet invisible.

Zheng Yi knew clearly that this was the Blood-Clothed Ghost, who had advanced to the Foundation Building Stage Ghost King. It needed a large amount of energy and directly devoured the not yet fully evolved Ghost Fiends.

The essence and origin all fell into the belly of the Blood-Clothed Ghost, causing the unstable Ghost Fiend space to collapse directly.

Suddenly, a huge creature over ten meters tall and about four meters high jumped out of the darkness. It had a fierce face with protruding teeth and a surging and overwhelming ghostly aura, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

Roar!

Seemingly too excited, the Ghost King roared, but when its crimson eyes met Zheng Yi's calm gaze, the roar abruptly stopped. It quickly ran over and respectfully bowed and saluted.

"Greetings, Master!"

With the advancement to Ghost King, this ghost creature's intelligence greatly increased, but its fear of Zheng Yi was deeply ingrained.

It clearly remembered the golden light that once shone on it, a fear and terror that came from the depths of its heart.

"You shall command the three hundred Yin Soldiers and create a powerful Yin Army for me!"

The obedient behavior of the ghost creature satisfied Zheng Yi. After reminding it, he retrieved the ghost creature and all the Yin Soldiers back into the Soul-Capturing Banner, then quickly left.

...

After returning to the gathering place, Zheng Yi pondered his current power system in secret.

Although he had not officially advanced to the Foundation Building Stage, he could already unleash the strength not inferior to that of an ordinary early-stage Foundation Building Stage cultivator with the help of the power of the Heartfire Spirit Infant Sword Embryo.

Especially in the Ghost Realm, he set a fire and used the fire seed of the Fire-Spitting Infant to refine a fierce ghost that was on the verge of evolving into a Ghost Fiend King into a soul bead.

The power unleashed by the Heartfire surprised Zheng Yi.

At the same time, he felt that he had taken the right path by refining the five Blood Embryo Ghost Infants through the Five Organs Refining Temple Sacrifice Divine Art.

The art of driving and controlling spirits and ghosts may seem insignificant, but if used well, it also has great potential.

His initial decision was extremely correct.

In the apocalypse world, cultivating the path of the Incense Flame Divine Soul gave him unique advantages.

The human body's five organs were originally vulnerable areas, but now, with the five Spiritual Infants as offerings, they had become the most heavily defended places.

"The power of incense flame!"

Zheng Yi muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Although the five Spiritual Infants had not yet fully merged and the Five Organs Temple Shrine had not yet integrated into one, there was still great potential to be tapped by cultivating a Heartfire Spirit Child.

Three days later, at the gathering place, in front of the Taishan City God Temple, outside the Hulu Temple, a red light suddenly appeared, soaring into the sky. A towering figure stood with arms crossed, its specific face unclear, standing hundreds of meters tall, radiating dazzling golden light, standing above the temple. It held a sword in its right hand, majestic and grand.

Mysterious power continuously rippled, as if the image of the Taishan City God statue itself, the divine shadow, stared at the void, its majestic figure soaring into the sky, an invisible majesty shaking the entire area.

For a while, at the gathering place, the originally bustling believers suddenly stood still, then more people burst into tears, kneeling down and bowing their heads, repeatedly kowtowing, thinking they had seen a true god.

There were still more people who, for a moment, didn't react, and the world fell silent. They stared blankly at the sky.

At this time, it was the turn of the scamming temple priest of the Taishan City God Temple to appear. His eyes were filled with shock and astonishment, but soon tears welled up in his eyes as he knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Yes, it's the Taishan City God!"

"The Taishan City God has sensed our devout faith..."

"The Taishan City God has manifested..."

A long chant echoed through the heavens and the earth. In the endless brilliant divine light, the giant divine shadow became larger and larger, more and more vast, and finally almost covered the entire sky above the gathering place.

Endless golden light shines, and for a moment, it seems like there are two suns in the sky.

As the voice of the scammer temple priest continues to deceive and shout hoarsely, echoing in the ears, everyone else present feels their knees go weak and quickly kneel down on the ground, bowing to the sky.

After a moment, a gentle breeze blows, and the majestic figure standing in the void slowly dissipates into the heavens and earth.

However, the entire gathering falls to their knees in unison, in a silent and shocked state, countless eyes staring blankly at the void, filled with disbelief.

"The Tai Shan Lord has manifested his holiness!"

Someone's lips tremble incessantly, muttering to themselves.

And with the scammer temple priest of the Tai Shan Lord temple shouting hoarsely, it instantly turns into a storm that spreads throughout the entire gathering.

Many people have witnessed the shocking scene just now, and seeing is believing.

In the end times, holding onto faith is like grasping a life-saving straw. Even those who don't believe have to convince themselves to believe, let alone when this incredible sight happens right before their eyes. How can they not believe in the existence of the Tai Shan Lord?

Immediately after, the entire gathering becomes like stagnant water, stirred by human intervention, rumors abound, making this grand battle of faith even more intense.

Faith and the power of incense cannot be forcibly resolved. Forcing a cow to drink water by pressing its head will not gain true believers.

Therefore, when the Tai Shan Lord temple was initially established, Zheng Yi did not require the people in the gathering to forcefully believe in the Tai Shan Lord, so as not to have the opposite effect.

In addition, many people in the post-apocalyptic world are fighting desperately in despair, creating a numb and cold heart, making it even more difficult for them to believe in the existence of gods.

Although there has been some exploration and a part of the foundation of believers has been established, there are not many true believers who actually go to worship the Tai Shan Lord.

This shows that deep in the hearts of many people, they only think that this is just a means for the high-level members of the gathering to deceive the common people, and that no one has actually seen a deity. Therefore, many people do not believe in the existence of the "Tai Shan Lord" in their hearts.

However, now that Zheng Yi has used some means and set up a scheme in the style of the Dayi Immortal Domain, making the Tai Shan Lord manifest his holiness, a vivid image appears before everyone's eyes, leaving no room for rebuttal.

"In this world, zombies are everywhere, and ghosts roam. Isn't it similar to the legendary underworld? The Tai Shan Lord has emerged, and a great god of the underworld is about to appear, ready to establish order..."

In the face of this problem, the scammer temple attendant of Taishan Fuzun Temple provided a convincing answer.

Indeed!

This world has long deviated from the normal track, and humans have become two-legged sheep, becoming the ones to be slaughtered.

Not to mention those zombies, even the legendary evil spirits have appeared in the real world. If another Taishan Fuzun were to appear, it wouldn't seem like such an unacceptable thing.

"Taishan Fuzun, pity the world. The eternal holy fire, lasting through the ages. The lights of ten thousand households, sheltering from disasters..."

The temple attendant in charge of Taishan Fuzun Temple is truly an expert in the field, one of the first to wake up from the shock. He immediately began preparations, sending people to distribute flyers and holding grand ceremonies every day to promote the teachings of Taishan Fuzun.

Although he was not clear about what methods Zheng Yi used to make the miracle happen, they were even less clear about whether this decent-looking Taishan Fuzun, this deity, really existed.

But once this matter came out, it was definitely the best opportunity to promote Taishan Fuzun Temple. If they couldn't seize such a good opportunity, he felt that it would be a waste of his scamming skills, and he would not be qualified to be a temple attendant.

With the tacit approval and appropriate guidance of the higher-ups in the gathering place, Hulugou Temple and Taishan Fuzun Temple suddenly became the liveliest places in the gathering place. In a short period of time, the number of believers skyrocketed, and the incense was extremely prosperous.

The temple promotes equality among believers and does not accept any donations. All that is required is to come to the temple sincerely to pray twice a day.

Moreover, for believers facing difficulties in life, the temple directly distributes a certain amount of food to ensure their livelihood.

However, there are also some ambitious people who see the opportunity and secretly create chaos, and even some other small sects have the intention to rise.

But soon, this behavior was met with destructive blows from the upper echelons of the gathering place, with thunderous methods and no mercy.

Although Zheng Yi thought these people were quick-witted, he detested this behavior of picking peaches.

He had worked so hard to set up everything, and now was the time to reap the rewards. He absolutely would not allow others to take advantage and make wedding clothes for others. In the power of belief in the gathering place, only he was qualified to collect it.

This is the bottom line and the iron rule of the gathering place. Zheng Yi planned to accurately implement this iron rule in the expanding journey of the gathering place, and even expand it to the whole world, truly creating a deity named Taishan Fuzun, which is not impossible.

Therefore, soon, the gathering place issued new regulations. Taishan Fuzun Temple is the only legitimate sect in the gathering place, and the five spirit children of Hulugou Temple are the attendants of Taishan Fuzun, belonging to the divine servants and also being gods.

In addition, any secret cult that gathers people or forces without authorization is considered a cult. Once discovered, they will be severely punished, ranging from being expelled from the gathering place to losing their lives.

...

The number of believers has rapidly increased, and the power of incense at the Taishan Fuzhun Temple has also greatly increased.

However, Zheng Yi needs a true god-making movement. Although the total quantity seems to be considerable, it is actually insignificant. In the history of the Dayi Immortal Domain, the accumulation of incense for ancient mountain gods and wild shrines destroyed by ancient dynasties, as well as some mountain gods and wild monsters with a certain level of cultivation, and the ancestral spirits of the Yin Lords, are measured in units of hundreds of years.

Although the path of the gods is clear in its goals and the orthodoxy is established, it may not necessarily be a great Dao. The path of the gods is vast and requires a long time to achieve even a small amount of success.

However, Zheng Yi is not in a hurry. The accumulation of incense power is originally a long process.

After solving the problem of the Taishan Fuzhun Temple and the Huluguo Temple believers, the subsequent matters are left to the high-level members of the gathering place to handle.

Zheng Yi focuses on cultivation. The path of incense and soul is just an auxiliary channel for him, and he has no intention of personally walking this path. Therefore, the gods he worships are mainly based on the Five Zang Temples' method of feeding the gods, which is the Five Great Lingying Sword Embryos.

As a cultivator, the most important thing is one's own cultivation. Zheng Yi does not stop for a moment and turns to the area where the blood lotus seeds are cultivated.

After a period of expansion, the Blood Flesh Lotus Pond now covers an area of four to five acres and has become a source of cultivation for many blood warriors and supernatural beings in the gathering place.

Blood rice provides necessary food, while blood lotus seeds are extremely precious cultivation resources. To obtain these things, one must exchange contribution points in the gathering place and risk their lives.

And the resources obtained in the end will be given back to the gathering place, making the power of the gathering place increasingly expand. The separated flesh and blood of the zombies are directly sent to the Blood Flesh Lotus Pond to cultivate blood lotus seeds.

With the continuous supply of zombie flesh and blood, the blood lotus continues to grow. The emerald green lotus leaves reach the sky, and many blood lotus pods are already full of lotus seeds.

Zheng Yi plucks a blood lotus pod and can clearly feel that the blood content in the pod has decreased significantly, and there are signs of dryness on the surface, without the initial crystal-clear and smooth feeling.

Tearing open the blood lotus pod, crystal-clear blood lotus seeds burst out. Zheng Yi holds one in his palm and gazes at it.

In an instant, he understands the reason. It turns out that the blood essence has not dissipated, but has condensed into the blood lotus seeds. After the blood lotus seeds solidify again, they become rare blood medicine.

Slightly shaking the blood lotus seed, it seems that one can see the slow flow of warm red liquid inside. The flesh and blood of the zombies have been refined and purified, giving birth to this special form of blood lotus seeds.

"Solidify into liquid, solidify into crystal!"

"Blood medicine? Blood crystal?"

"Or... both."

These are the characters that Zheng Yi recently found in the records of a miscellaneous cultivation book collected by the Qi family caravan in the Dayi Immortal Domain. They are two kinds of purified Blood Demon Dao treasures.

If placed in the Dayi Immortal Domain, they are much more precious than Qi Replenishing Pills and Yuan Replenishing Pills. Whether it is the righteous path or the demonic path, any cultivator needs the supplement of pure blood essence.

Not only can it promote physical evolution, but it can also restore cultivation injuries. It is essential for daily life and wilderness training, and it has no significant side effects or toxicity.

However, Zheng Yi can only enjoy these things himself. He dare not bring them back to the Dayi Immortal Domain. With the current power of the Qi family, they cannot guarantee the safety of these things.

He throws a lotus seed into his mouth and gently bites it with his teeth. Suddenly, a surging blood qi erupts from his mouth and rushes down his throat.
