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

Chapter 27: Planning for Overseas Deployment

"Although the mountain gate of Assimilating Soul Sect is a Sacred Land for cultivation, located on a second-grade spiritual vein, it greatly enhances the speed of cultivation."

"But I have too many secrets on me, and I can't let go of my hands and feet here. If there are any leaks, it will be troublesome..."

"It seems better to find an excuse to leave the sect. The inner sect is not necessarily safe!"

Withdrawing his qi and converging his breath, Zheng Yi opened his eyes. His profound and sinister aura merged into his body. His deep gaze flickered with a chilling aura in the black room.

After a while, Zheng Yi stood up, exhaled, and said, "The path of cultivation has four essential elements: wealth, techniques, location, and companions."

Many people value the second-grade spiritual vein of the sect. By cultivating here, not only is safety guaranteed, but also the cultivation speed is much faster due to the abundant spiritual energy compared to other places.

However, Zheng Yi does not value these benefits. He carries too many secrets on him and naturally does not want to expose himself in this environment for some trivial gains.

If even a hint of his secrets is discovered by important figures in the sect, it would be harmful to him without any benefits.

Moreover, the cultivation techniques he has chosen are unique. Although they also require spiritual energy, they do not necessarily require the support of a second-grade spiritual vein.

He has a greater adaptability in choosing a cultivation location compared to other sect disciples.

Even in a barren and scarce place with thin spiritual energy, as long as Zheng Yi can transmigrate back to the post-apocalyptic world and utilize the resources plundered from there, he can still quickly improve his cultivation level.

At least, this is true for his current weak state, during the Qi Refining stage of cultivation.

The only thing he lacks now is time.

"I learned from Liang Qing that besides dangerous tasks such as wanted arrests, the recent tasks in the internal affairs hall include war conscription orders, which have released a large number of tasks and contributions."

"It seems that the sect is currently in great need of people, and the war with Beast Taming Sect is becoming increasingly intense."

"Fortunately, I am a newly joined inner sect disciple with a two-year buffer period for tasks. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been conscripted and sent directly to the front lines as cannon fodder..."

Zheng Yi secretly rejoiced. He didn't expect the sect war this time to be even more intense than he imagined.

After the discovery of the Middle Grade spiritual stone vein, Assimilating Soul Sect had already summoned a group of inner sect disciples to be stationed there.

Later, Beast Taming Sect joined the competition, directly triggering this large-scale war.

If it was just a small-scale Low Grade spiritual stone vein, it would at most cause friction between sects.

But once it involves Middle Grade spiritual stone resources, it represents huge benefits. Sects like Assimilating Soul Sect and Beast Taming Sect, which are small demonic sects, will definitely fight tooth and nail.

And the specific location of the spiritual stone vein belongs to a neutral zone, so neither Assimilating Soul Sect nor Beast Taming Sect has complete legitimacy or enough power to swallow it all at once.

This is what has caused the scale of this war to expand even further.

The second batch of conscripted disciples has also been sent to the front lines.

As the situation on the battlefield becomes more intense, the third batch of disciples led by the Elders and Sect Master have also set off for the front lines.

And now, the fourth batch of inner sect disciples is being conscripted.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the number of inner sect disciples currently remaining in Assimilating Soul Sect is less than thirty percent of its peak.

Now they have to continue conscripting from this thirty percent of inner sect disciples, which shows the intensity of the war.

However, Zheng Yi was not worried. Generally, only senior disciples are conscripted, and newly promoted disciples like him have the right to be exempt from conscription for two years.

Cultivators are very practical, let alone demonic cultivators. They are narrow-minded, selfish, and even lawless. This requires weighing various interests.

Otherwise, others join the sect to become apprentices and learn skills.

Unexpectedly, before he could even finish learning his skills, on the first day of apprenticeship, he was directly conscripted and sent to the front lines as cannon fodder.

Even the dumbest disciple would probably not be willing. Although it can be enforced under high pressure from the upper levels, inner disciples are different from ordinary outer disciples or sect servants. They are the backbone of a cultivation sect or demonic sect.

If they were to become disloyal, the future of the Immortal Gate sect would be in jeopardy.

Moreover, in large-scale sect wars like this, ordinary inner disciples are at most cannon fodder on the battlefield. They need to be at least at the seventh level of Qi Refining to be considered a small expert.

Therefore, this is also a means for the sect to protect newly promoted inner disciples. There will always be some preferential treatment during the novice period. It's best to stay obediently in the novice village.

Since being sent there means being cannon fodder, it's better to cultivate for a few more years, become stronger, and have some self-defense ability before being dispatched.

"...These tasks are not of much significance to me."

"What I need now is not sect contribution points, let alone rewards."

"It seems that the only way to leave the sect now is to actively apply for external garrison missions."

"But these garrison missions require being sent elsewhere."

"Generally, they are in remote places, far from the sect. Out of sight, out of mind. So the garrison disciples have a lot of power, but they will also be far from the sect's secondary spiritual veins, causing their cultivation to stagnate."

"Generally speaking, these garrison missions are not difficult to obtain."

Zheng Yi calculated in his heart, based on the information he had received before and the results of his visit to the internal affairs hall.

He found that these missions to garrison a certain area are rarely taken on by people, usually being compulsory tasks assigned by the sect.

Regardless of the time, the identity of a sect disciple is only an external symbol. The identity of a cultivator is the true essence of everyone.

And as a cultivator, whether it is on the righteous path or the demonic path, the cultivation level is always the eternal pursuit and topic.

Especially in a small demonic sect like the Assimilating Soul Sect, where competition is fierce, everyone's pursuit without exception is to improve their realm.

To improve their realm, they need a large amount of spiritual energy, and the place with the most spiritual energy in the entire Demon Realm is naturally the inner sect residence for sect disciples.

As for the places that need to be garrisoned, apart from strongholds like the Blood Mist Abyss City, most of them are far from prosperous areas.

Especially the industries under the Assimilating Soul Sect, those various small mines are mostly located in desolate wilderness with very little spiritual energy. Therefore, very few sect disciples are willing to go and garrison those places.

Therefore, the tasks of garrisoning the mines are almost always forcibly assigned to inner disciples by the sect.

With obligation comes power.

The disciples garrisoning the mines usually have to fulfill their term before returning to the sect. During the garrison period, they can be exempted from participating in the sect's war conscription.

In this increasingly intense battle between the Assimilating Soul Sect and the Hundred Beasts Sect, garrisoning the mines and staying away from the war might be a good opportunity.

Although inner disciples are considered the backbone of the sect, they are just consumables in sect wars.

With a firm determination, Zheng Yi went straight to the internal affairs hall.
