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

Chapter 175: The Vast World Within the Cocoon, the Long Day and Month Within the Pot

After another two months, at the cost of consuming thousands of Golden Saint Beetles and with the continuous efforts of dozens of symbol masters working day and night, all seventy-two basic runes represented by the seventy-two Earth Demon spells were finally successfully engraved.

The seventy-two Earth Demon spell beetles were successfully refined.

Although the loss made Zheng Yi feel a bit heartbroken, in order to cultivate these consumed Golden Saint Beetles, all the nearby corpse groups around the Fengdu City were dealt with, except for a few that slipped through the cracks, becoming a continuous source of flesh and blood resources.

Out of the hundreds of thousands of zombies' flesh and blood, only seventy-two Golden Saint Beetles survived. Such a ratio would make anyone feel distressed.

In order to ensure the continued operation of the zombie flesh factory, the higher-ups of the Soul Hall had already begun to extend their tentacles to the surrounding cities, expanding their territory and searching for more zombie groups.

While others were avoiding zombies, in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Soul Hall, these were all endless treasures and resources.

Boom!

As the last beetle with runes engraved on its surface successfully fused into the acupoint, suddenly, the seventy-two acupoints opened up inside Zheng Yi's body, bursting out with brilliant white light.

The white light was mixed with the golden color of the runes, just like a slowly rising golden sun from the edge of the horizon.

The seventy-two Earth Demon spell runes completely fused into his body, and the armor system was completely established. Zheng Yi, borrowing the formation of the Body Refining, could use the various abilities of the seventy-two Earth Demon spells without any hindrance.

This made his combat power able to deal with various situations. Although his strength did not skyrocket, the seventy-two Earth Demon spells each had their own mysteries. When combined, they could form the Eight or Nine Profound Body, integrating the power of the entire body, further enhancing his foundation.

Although his strength did not fundamentally improve, the path Zheng Yi was now taking was the most critical moment of all his accumulated knowledge in the first half of his life. He relied on his powerful divine deduction ability to turn decay into magic and embarked on his unique path.

This played a crucial role in his future cultivation journey.

At the same time as the establishment of the armor system, after about half a year of nurturing, all the Innate Peach God Sacred Fetuses within Luo Yaoji's body were finally harvested by Zheng Yi, successfully nurtured within his body, and his own divine essence resided within them.

Zheng Yi discovered the benefits of these Peach God Sacred Fetuses even more. The pure energy containing the wood element origin continuously radiated outward, nurturing every part of his body, completely eliminating all the hidden injuries that had appeared before.

In less than a year, Zheng Yi had already refined his body to the best state.

He made sufficient preparations for the trip to the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion.

Next, he just needed to wait for the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion to open, enter it, obtain the Immortal Transformation Silkworm, and begin the technique of Heavenly Human Transformation.

...

Half a month later, in a desolate mountain, a hidden figure silently moved through the mountains, passing by monsters without causing any disturbance.

Zheng Yi activated the rune of the Earth Demon spell "Invisibility," silently reaching the area where the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion was about to open.

Looking up at the moon above, slowly transforming into a full moon, with a gust of mist passing by, the full moon finally took shape completely.

At the same time, Zheng Yi's eyes lit up as he sensed a unique pulsation. Following the runic inscription provided by Yi Qingzi, he immediately felt a connection to some kind of opportunity. The barren mountain beneath his feet suddenly trembled, and within the mountain range, a ten-foot-tall void gate opened with a rumbling sound.

The sound echoed loudly in the desolate wilderness, but this was after all a remote area with few people. Zheng Yi stood in front of the gate and waited for a moment, not sensing any danger, and then rushed in.

A burst of light flickered, and the huge gate disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before, erasing all traces.

Yi Qingzi had explained these things clearly before, and Zheng Yi had also discovered some clues on the three cultivators from the Xuanling Realm's Lock Heaven Sect. The two corresponded perfectly, without any mistakes.

In front of him was a vast expanse of white light. Zheng Yi felt the light and shadows shifting, and when they settled again, he felt the solid ground beneath his feet. He realized that he had entered an unfamiliar cave.

The cave was a straight passage, and Zheng Yi proceeded cautiously. As he went deeper, the density of spiritual energy inside suddenly increased.

He encountered no danger along the way, nor any defensive mechanisms.

Just as Yi Qingzi had mentioned in the information she left behind, this Secret Immortal Cave Mansion was merely a hidden treasure trove tucked away in the darkness.

When he turned a corner, a hall suddenly appeared before Zheng Yi's eyes. His eyes brightened, and he quickly walked over.

However, an empty hall greeted his eyes. There was nothing inside. Although he had anticipated this, seeing this scene still left Zheng Yi somewhat disappointed.

The entire hall was clean, like a granary that had been visited by mice. Obviously, all the treasures stored here had been taken away by the cultivators of the Secret Immortal Gate long ago, leaving nothing for him.

With a sigh, "What bad luck," Zheng Yi continued walking inside.

The spiritual energy flowing inside seemed even more intense. When he reached the deepest part, at the core, Zheng Yi saw a jade wall standing in the center of the cave like a small mountain.

It was entirely green, made up of countless jade stones piled up. It was about four to five zhang tall and three to four zhang in circumference. This was the most priceless treasure in the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion.

Back then, the Soul Devouring Sect was annihilated for a small jade mine. If someone knew that there was a jade mountain here, even the Transcendent Level sects with Nascent Soul cultivators would find it hard to resist the temptation.

After all, jade is an extremely precious cultivation resource, surpassing the price of High Grade spiritual stones. When a piece of jade is buried underground, as long as there is sufficient earth vein qi, it can evolve into a small-scale spiritual vein within a hundred years. This is a strategic-level resource, not to be taken lightly.

Moreover, the energy contained within it is extremely pure. It can be used for cultivation regardless of the cultivation method, whether it is Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Violet Palace, or even Gold Core and Nascent Soul. This jade can nourish one's mana and soul without any side effects, and it is extremely gentle.

If used in alchemy or artifact refining, through special means of modulation and allocation, it can greatly enhance the grade and achieve higher quality.

After all, this jade is the core of a spiritual vein, and it can only be produced in Supreme Grade and High Grade spiritual veins. If a Middle Grade spiritual vein can produce some, it will automatically evolve towards a higher-grade spiritual vein.

It also has other benefits for Nascent Soul and Ancestor-level cultivators, with a very wide range of uses. Any major sect or power has an urgent need for jade.

Back then, the Secret Immortal Gate in the Xuanling Realm expanded crazily, competing for places with spiritual veins, and exhausted all resources to dig out jade to hatch and tame Immortal Transformation Silkworms. This ultimately attracted the siege of several major sects in the Southern Region and led to their annihilation.

"It's a pity that this Secret Immortal Cave Mansion has been unknown for how long. With no one managing it for a long time, the preservation conditions are extremely poor. This jade mountain, used to hatch and nurture Immortal Transformation Silkworms, has been absorbed crazily and has become decayed. The spiritual energy has almost been depleted. Otherwise, it would be a tremendous fortune."

After marveling at the priceless value of this Yusuishan, Zheng Yi had to face reality.

For hundreds of years, no one had paid any attention to this mountain cave, causing the Yusuishan in the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion to have long been completely hollowed out, drained of its spiritual energy, and completely useless.

No wonder after entering, one could feel the rich spiritual energy in the surroundings. It turned out to be because of the loss of spiritual energy from the Yusuishan.

Zheng Yi extended his right hand, and a burst of Formless Sword energy erupted. Then, with a wave, he shaved off the surface stone, revealing the core of the Yusuishan, inside of which were hidden seven insect larvae.

"I found it... These should be the larvae of the Immortal Transformation Silkworm?!" Zheng Yi's eyes shone brightly, hesitating a bit.

In fact, neither Yiqingzi nor the person from the Suotian Temple had ever seen a real Immortal Transformation Silkworm. After entering the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion, the information they knew might not be more than Zheng Yi's.

But thinking about it, since it was insect larvae preserved in the Yusuishan, perhaps only the "Immortal Transformation Silkworm" belonging to the Secret Immortal Gate could enjoy such treatment.

However, after scanning the seven insect larvae with his divine soul, Zheng Yi's expression became somewhat unpleasant. For some reason, whether it was due to improper preservation conditions or the passage of time, most of these seven insect larvae had lost their vitality.

"Could it be that I will return empty-handed?!" Zheng Yi's expression became even more unpleasant. He had racked his brains, and if he obtained this result, even his Dao heart would not be able to bear it. If Yiqingzi hadn't died and came here, she would probably be infuriated to death.

He carefully inspected them, and finally his eyes brightened. He unexpectedly discovered that one of the insect larvae still maintained some vitality.

However, this vitality seemed to be sealed by some kind of energy, so he didn't notice it at first.

He collected the other insect larvae that had lost their vitality, but instead of storing them in a storage bag, he stored them in his own personal space.

Among the seventy-two Earthly Fiend spells, there was a spell called "Heavenly Jar," which meant that the universe was contained in one's sleeve, and the sun and moon were hidden in the jar.

This Heavenly Jar spell could open up a small space that was bound to the physical body, turning the vast into a mustard seed, and hiding the sun and moon in the jar. Zheng Yi's physical body had opened up seventy-two Earthly Fiend acupoints, one of which was the Heavenly Jar acupoint.

Zheng Yi would hide some core items in it, and the power of his physical body's blood and qi would conceal the heavenly secrets. No matter who tried to deduce it, they would not be able to detect the aura of these things.

Currently, the Heavenly Jar acupoint was only three or four cubic units, but as Zheng Yi's cultivation grew and his physical body became stronger, it would gradually evolve and become more perfect.

Although these Immortal Transformation Silkworms had lost their vitality, they were once the number one treasure of the Secret Immortal Gate. Zheng Yi was still cautious and hid them in the Heavenly Jar acupoint of his physical body, concealing the cause and effect.

Moreover, he could take them back for research. After all, treasures like the Immortal Transformation Silkworm were extremely rare. Even if they were remnants, they were probably very useful.

After picking up the sealed insect larva, Zheng Yi carefully used his mana to wear it down. He operated the information he obtained from the person from the Suotian Temple and integrated the insect larva into his body, thereby activating its vitality and allowing it to recover.

In this way, Zheng Yi sat in meditation with a calm mind, cultivating his mana. One day passed in a single sitting.

On the next day, as the mana nourished it, the seal on the insect pupa was opened. Suddenly, a stream of light rushed out from inside and flew directly into Zheng Yi's dantian.

The speed was too fast, leaving him with almost no reaction. The thing that entered his dantian Qi Sea was like a small black hole, rapidly depleting the mana that filled his dantian as it crazily devoured and absorbed it.

"What the hell? What's happening?!"

Zheng Yi's expression changed. He really didn't expect such an uncontrollable situation to occur at this moment.

Just as he was about to activate his mana to force out whatever was in his dantian, his body suddenly stiffened. He completely lost control of his body and could only watch as his entire mana, soul power, and blood power were greedily absorbed by the mysterious presence, causing his entire being to rapidly weaken.

"Am I going to die..."

Just as this thought emerged, Zheng Yi barely had time to react before his entire body stiffly fell to the ground, devoid of any breath, unconscious.

Motionless, not even breathing, as if dead.

Just moments after he fell, white threads surged within his body and rapidly enveloped Zheng Yi's body. Eventually, they formed a cocoon, silently remaining there.

Zheng Yi's consciousness completely stagnated, his thoughts ceased to function, and he entered a state of unconscious haze, as if he had died, sinking into a deep slumber of some kind.

In the midst of this haze, his personal consciousness began to revive. He faintly opened his eyes and, in a daze, seemed to see a rippling amniotic fluid. He seemed to have transformed back into the form of a baby, with a small body connected to an umbilical cord, his consciousness unable to think.

He would occasionally wake up and fall back into a drowsy state. In this haze, he vaguely saw himself slowly growing, slowly developing, as if returning to the womb, developing from an embryo into a healthy baby in swaddling clothes. However, he was now very sleepy, with limited mental capacity, and each time he woke up, it was very brief.

In the moments when Zheng Yi was intermittently awake and asleep, countless mysterious pieces of information flooded into his mind, constantly intersecting and expanding, eventually forming a text, seemingly a mysterious technique that suddenly appeared in his mind.

That information appeared out of thin air, like a golden page floating silently above his head, with several large characters clearly written on top.

"The Art of Transmigration between Heaven and Man!"

This previously unseen technique suddenly appeared in Zheng Yi's mind. Along with his awakening, it was gradually instilled into his subconscious memory. At this moment, he had lost all perception of the outside world, and even the ability to contemplate.

Because his consciousness was completely covered by this technique, he lost his observation of the outside world.

His consciousness and thoughts entered a state of tranquility, with only the mysterious "Art of Transmigration between Heaven and Man" operating in his mind.

His body, wrapped in the cocoon, subconsciously began to activate mana. Various different cultivation systems immediately intertwined and intersected, gradually merging according to the process and trend deduced by the Superbrain God in the realm of incense and fire, as well as the various foundations accumulated by his original body.

The entire process was operating unconsciously in Zheng Yi's mind, under the control of the mysterious technique "Art of Transmigration between Heaven and Man," running and mobilizing in an orderly manner.

It seemed that everything had little to do with Zheng Yi.

In his hazy state, he would occasionally be awake and occasionally be unconscious, entering another instinctive state. Everything was automatically operating.
