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

Chapter 171: Assimilation - Qin Family

In the post-apocalyptic world, surrounded by the realm of incense and fire, sitting in front of the huge main temple in Mount Tai City, everything in Fengdu City was under his control.

Following his instructions, under the supervision of Ying Yixue, the highest management committee of the Soul Hall specifically dispatched senior officials to handle this matter, greatly increasing the supply of zombie flesh and blood.

The zombie flesh and blood factory continuously produced essence of zombie flesh and blood, which was then heavily invested in the cultivation of golden saint beetles in a short period of time.

With the feeding of more zombie flesh and blood, the breeding of corpse turtles accelerated, increasing their numbers several times over. After being nurtured and refined through gu cultivation and secret refining techniques, the number of mature golden saint beetles reached a new high, surpassing thirty or more.

This cultivation ability had already exceeded the total number of mature golden saint beetles from the previous two times.

Subsequently, more golden saint beetles were catalyzed and evolved towards mature individual forms under the abundant cultivation of zombie flesh and blood.

On the other side of Dayi Immortal Domain, after several attempts and explorations, many independent cultivators who were symbol masters achieved preliminary results under the resource supply provided by the Great Principle Alliance at all costs.

With high investment and high returns, the rewards provided by the Great Principle Alliance were generous enough. These symbol masters were also competitors to each other and held grudges against one another.

Each person had their own proficient runes. Even if they were not part of the seventy-two Earth Demon spell rune system, they would choose a rune under special reminders to study and refine.

The success rate of engraving runes on the surface of the golden saint beetle's hard shell increased significantly.

With the efforts of many symbol masters, out of the nineteen golden saint beetles, a total of three were successfully engraved with runes. These runes were the "Transportation Rune," "Spirit Control Rune," and "Bird Control Rune" from the seventy-two Earth Demon spell rune system.

The "Transportation" rune represented the technique of driving the Five Ghosts to transport goods, also known as the Five Ghosts Wealth-Transporting Art. It could manipulate ghosts to move or transport certain special things through the void.

Mastering this secret technique allowed one to easily bring items into their possession without physically touching them. There used to be a force that specialized in theft and practiced the Five Ghosts Great Transportation.

The "Spirit Control" rune could summon various mountain spirits and ghosts, commanding them to accomplish the designated goals of the caster. It was an upgraded version of the art of summoning spirits.

The "Bird Control" rune was simpler, as its name suggested. It directly used secret techniques to control birds of prey, making all birds follow its commands.

These three runes, like the "Invisibility" rune, were part of the seventy-two Earth Demon spell rune system, but they also belonged to the three hundred and sixty-five basic Dao Foundation runes that symbol masters began to copy and engrave when they first started practicing.

Therefore, the symbol masters selected by the Great Principle Alliance followed a step-by-step process, starting from easy to difficult, engraving runes in order.

When Qilin, the chief of the Great Principle Alliance, brought these three golden saint beetles with successfully engraved runes to Zheng Yi, he issued another task.

The task was to quickly engrave the "Sword Art Rune" on the next golden saint beetle when engraving runes. Compared to the other three runes, the Sword Art Rune did not belong to the category of basic runes and was quite difficult. However, it was a rare offensive symbol art among the seventy-two Earth Demon spell runes.

Zheng Yi cultivated the Myriad Sword Gourd, which was highly compatible with this symbol.

After receiving the order, the Grand Commander Qi Lin hurriedly returned and conveyed the received information and instructions to the symbol masters who were diligently studying.

In order to carve the runes faster and better, and to gather all seventy-two Earth Demon spells in a short period of time, it was not an easy task even for an organization like the Great Principle Alliance.

Therefore, under Zheng Yi's command, the entire alliance was in action, and the powerful organizational structure came into play. Symbol masters who came from far away were hired at high prices, and among them, those who had true talent and unique insights into carving the seventy-two special runes were selected to replace the symbol masters who had failed three times before.

The elimination system of the Great Principle Alliance was also a last resort. The Secret Immortal Cave Mansion was opened on the night of the full moon, and time was somewhat urgent. If this time was missed, it would probably take decades again. Zheng Yi had to perfect himself in the world of incense and fire before this period of time, with the help of the super brain main god's deduction. Therefore, the selection of these symbol masters became extremely cruel.

As long as they failed to carve successfully three times, the symbol masters would be abandoned. Although the Golden Saint Beetle could produce an endless supply, it was still very precious. Good steel should be used on the blade, and natural selection would choose more skilled and excellent symbol masters to join.

Moreover, after several symbol masters successfully carved runes on the Golden Saint Beetle, they found that they had made significant progress in terms of carving speed and quality after multiple practices.

In this extremely difficult and challenging carving process, their own symbol-making skills had also greatly improved.

Therefore, although the frequent replacement of symbol masters by the Great Principle Alliance was surprising, they couldn't resist the fact that the alliance was wealthy and generous, and there was no dissatisfaction among the symbol masters. After all, if their own skills were not good enough, as artisans, they couldn't really stay behind. Moreover, in terms of money, the Great Principle Alliance was very fair and had never mistreated them. On the contrary, they could make connections and leave a good impression on each other, looking forward to future cooperation.

These independent cultivator symbol masters would not offend the Great Principle Alliance. After all, with the current size of the alliance, and mainly focused on business and trade, it was a good channel for artisans to make connections.

...

When refining the Golden Saint Beetle again, Zheng Yi's speed was much faster than the first time. After all, he had already had the experience of the first time, and with the comprehension and operational ability of a cultivator, he would quickly become quite proficient.

Zheng Yi sat cross-legged, emitting a faint glow. The seventy-two acupoints in his body, which were opened by his physical body, simultaneously burst with bright light.

Except for one acupoint that fused with the "Invisible Symbol" Golden Saint Beetle, the white light emitted by the other seventy-one acupoints all fell on the three different runes floating in front of him on the Golden Saint Beetle.

As if attracted to each other, the three acupoints suddenly burst with brilliant light, like a tide, directly sucking the three Golden Saint Beetles into his body, turning them into three golden streams of light, each entering one of the other three acupoints.

The radiance converged, and the brilliance of the "Origin Treasure Qi" quickly refined the three Golden Saint Beetles, cooperating with the blood energy, ultimately fusing the runes with the acupoints, imprinting the contents of the runes into the entire independent world-like acupoints.

This cultivation took nearly a day. Zheng Yi opened his eyes and felt a new understanding of the way of runes.

At this time, Zheng Yi hurriedly returned to the Doomsday World and brought dozens of newly upgraded Golden Saint Beetles.

All these Golden Saint Beetles were handed over to Qi Lin.

Looking at the huge number of mysterious golden beetles, even Qi Lin, who was the steward of the Great Principle Alliance, was somewhat surprised.

He, who originally didn't know what the Golden Saint Beetles were, secretly inquired about their information from the Xin family and only then did he understand that these Saint Beetles, which he handled directly every day, were such precious existences.

Moreover, Zheng Yi suddenly produced such a large quantity, which is not insignificant.

In just over a month, the number of mature Golden Saint Beetles has exceeded the accumulated total of the Xin family for hundreds of years.

He didn't know what means Zheng Yi used or where he got them from.

But he could sense Zheng Yi's trust in him, so he naturally couldn't be careless and must do his best to complete the task assigned by his master.

Zheng Yi also specifically instructed Qi Lin that these talisman masters would be useful in the future, and all craftsmen with such skills in the cultivation arts would be treated with respect for the development of the alliance.

Even though the current system is one of elimination, it is only to find the most suitable talisman masters. Independent Cultivator talisman masters in the future can cooperate completely and expand the influence of the Great Principle Alliance.

...

The moon hung high in the night sky.

A Daoist figure quietly passed through, crossing the vast array of the Soul Devouring Sect without alerting anyone, without triggering the slightest alarm.

He moved like a ghost, quietly leaving the headquarters of the Great Principle Alliance and venturing into a rarely visited primitive jungle.

Zheng Yi walked deep into the dense jungle. Above his head, birds flew back and forth - sparrows the size of fists, hawks preying on small birds, and falcons in the darkness. At this moment, these birds, who were originally natural enemies, harmoniously surrounded Zheng Yi.

All of this was naturally the effect of the seventy-two Earth Demon spell runes called "Bird Control Talisman". Just like the scene of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, this rune driven by the acupoints in his body completely turned all ordinary birds or low-level spirit birds into his eyes and ears, completely at Zheng Yi's command.

Correspondingly, there was another rune called "Beast Gathering", also belonging to the seventy-two Earth Demon spell runes. Similar to the Bird Control Talisman, one acted on birds and the other on various beasts.

During these days, Zheng Yi had been developing these runes that had never been used before and simulating their use.

Even cultivators couldn't work in isolation.

So he was preparing to refine more talisman beetles while honing the abilities of the runes he had already mastered. When the time came to use them, he could fully unleash the power that the runes should have, as if they were an extension of his own body.

Inside his acupoints, these golden Saint Beetles engraved with runes had actually undergone the refinement of the original aura and could be considered a kind of living Law Weapon, which was the origin of Zheng Yi's "Talisman Armor System" deduction.

Now, with the help of several talisman beetles he had already mastered, Zheng Yi was able to skillfully unleash the power of the seventy-two Earth Demon spell runes, and he was quite satisfied with their auxiliary effects.

It was like previously using basic attacks, and now he was using powerful skills.

What was even more important was that these skills were not limited by cooldown time, but could be continuously used. If used well, they could indeed be a surprise.

However, the seventy-two Earth Demon spell runes were still incomplete at this time. To reach the level of Body Refining with the runes, there was still a process to go through. Zheng Yi was only familiar with the abilities and effects of these runes, and the experimentation and deduction would continue.

At this moment, Zheng Yi received a flying sword message from Qi Lin. The information he opened made his eyes light up because the war between the Great Principle Alliance and the Qin family had suddenly broken out.

"So there's finally news about the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Mine? I should go back and see how things have developed!"

News just came in, Zheng Yi can only put aside the things at hand and focus on dealing with the current predicament of the Great Principle Alliance.

Because it involves the Qin family, on one hand, it involves his concubine Xin Lingxian, and on the other hand, it is about the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine, a resource that he has been longing for. Regardless of which aspect, he needs to personally handle it.

In fact, Zheng Yi had already made plans and decided to personally intervene.

Cutting the Gordian knot, he will take action in the name of standing up for his concubine Xin Lingxian, eliminating the Qin family's fighting strength. It is reasonable and no one can say anything against it.

Of course, Zheng Yi's true purpose is not to avenge the Xin family, but he has set his sights on the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine.

...

Because of the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine, Xin Lingxian's Xin family was destroyed by the even more powerful Qin family. It was only through the desperate resistance of the previous generation's family head and a group of elders that Xin Lingxian and a group of young people managed to escape from the Qin family and wander into the area controlled by the Great Principle Alliance, eventually joining the Great Principle Alliance.

Moreover, Xin Lingxian, the young master of the Xin family, with the dowry of the Xin family, became the concubine of the Great Principle Alliance's leader Zheng Yi.

This matter has long been known under the covert support of the Great Principle Alliance.

And this is the legitimate reason for Zheng Yi to take action.

Under the banner of avenging the Xin family, the Great Principle Alliance can openly extend its tentacles into the control range of the Qin family, and provide the most powerful reason for competing for the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine. It can be said that they have a well-known reputation.

Even if other forces have any objections, they can only grind their teeth and swallow them.

The only thing that needs to be considered is the Jinque Sect.

The ancestor of the Qin family was originally an inner disciple of the Jinque Sect. After breaking through the Foundation Building Stage, he did not stay in the sect but instead established the Qin family.

But the relationship has always continued since then, always relying on the Jinque Sect, and is considered one of the peripheral forces of the Jinque Sect, always leaning against the big mountain and acting domineeringly.

With the passage of time, the strength of the Qin family gradually increased. Due to the lack of strong enemies and the backing of the powerful sect, the Jinque Sect, they slowly annexed the surrounding small forces and small clans.

In the end, after hundreds of years of development, it became a large family. It is said that there are no less than ten Foundation Building Stage cultivators within the family.

What's more important is that the current seventh-generation ancestor of the Qin family has already reached the peak of the Foundation Building Stage, and it is said that he is only one step away from the Violet Palace.

Unfortunately, this time the Qin family picked the wrong opponent. They are now being targeted by Zheng Yi and will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Otherwise, they will crash into the giant rock of the Great Principle Alliance and definitely end up with a broken head and bloodshed.

Now, under the secret instructions of Zheng Yi, the two sides are like ignited powder kegs, ready to explode upon contact.

At the forefront of the Baiyi Sword Qi Stone Mine, Foundation Building cultivators from both sides have already started fighting, and war is about to break out.
