Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

When the celestial-level Red Deer Spirit intervenes, this conflict can finally come to an end.

As expected, most of the East Lake demon army was intercepted by the clouds and mist. A small number of those who broke through the clouds and mist knew that the situation was not good and dared not pursue Bai Yuanlingbo and the others.

As a result, after the clouds and mist dissipated, the East Lake demon army could only watch as the Luhu cultivators led away fifty or sixty prisoners.

News of this battle quickly spread throughout the entire [Autumn Chill Wonderland], sparking much discussion.

Although the Donghu demon army suffered relatively few losses, and the Luhu side also deployed the celestial-level Crimson Deer Spirits, the fact remains that they were defeated.

Enraged, Donghu Longjun immediately took action, not only contacting Zhu Polong Xiaoxian and Nanhu Xiaoxian, but also sending people to the central region.

In the 【Autumn Cold Wonderland】, there is the East Lake Dragon Lord in the east, the Cloud Leopard Fairy in the west, the South Lake Dragon Lord in the south, and the Snow Fox Fairy in the north. Even the Pig Dragon only lives in a swampy area in the southeast, rather than occupying the central region.

It's not that these immortals and gods lack the ability to occupy the central region, but rather that the central region has a unique geology, with its boundless forests filled with miasma, making it a forbidden zone for living beings.

However, there is a special group of cultivators living in this forbidden zone of life. The reason they can ignore the "forbidden zone of life" is not because they are really that powerful, but because they are essentially a group of corpses.

In ancient times, the lineages of the Corpse Yin Sect and the Corpse Dissection Sect spread out, giving rise to a wave of cultivation using corpses, collectively known as the Corpse Immortal Sect.

The Corpse Dissection Sect's philosophy is to use the corpse as a medium to gather the souls of heaven and earth, and then use all the power of the physical body to refine the soul, thereby achieving ascension.

As a result, when a cultivator of the Corpse Dissection Sect dies, no body is found in the tomb; only weapons, bamboo staffs, clothing, and other items remain.

However, the Corpse Yin Sect has a different philosophy from the Corpse Liberation Sect. They regard corpses as important objects of cultivation and go to great lengths to find auspicious burial sites to cultivate corpses. The walking corpses that are born by chance are the most beloved protectors of the Corpse Yin Sect disciples.

In ancient times, the Heavenly Court rectified evil practices, suppressed the momentum of the Corpse Yin Sect and the Corpse Dissection Sect, and wiped out most of the evil Corpse Immortal Sect disciples.

However, the world is vast, and even with the Heavenly Court's vigorous crackdown, many still managed to slip through the net. Among them, some members of the Taibai Dragon Clan joined the Corpse Immortal Sect and ultimately escaped the Heavenly Court's crackdown by using the [Autumn Cold Wonderland].

Therefore, even though the Dragon King of Luhu Lake knew that there were remnants of the Corpse Immortal Sect in the Autumn Cold Wonderland, he still dared not make a fuss. After all, it was the ancestors of the Luhu Lake Dragon Clan who made an exception for their clansmen who joined the Corpse Immortal Sect, which allowed them to continue their lineage in the Autumn Cold Wonderland.

Most importantly, the so-called immortality of the Corpse Immortal Sect disciples is merely that of ghost immortals. They may be exceptionally powerful in special environments that suit them, but once the opportune moment and favorable location are lost, they are simply no match for the others.

The Dragon King of Luhu Lake viewed the Corpse Immortal Sect from the perspective of immortals and gods, but he overlooked one problem: the reason why the Corpse Immortal Sect was able to wreak havoc on the human world in ancient times was precisely because of the zombie horde army composed of countless walking corpses!
As a result, that very night, tens of thousands of walking corpses left the central area and headed towards the buffer zone between the two sides and even the northeastern area occupied by the Red Deer Elves.

Then they saw the horde of corpses marching in formation, like an army that obeyed orders without question. Wisps of sinister corpse energy permeated the sky, even forming a dark yellow cloud, and a ghostly face could be faintly seen emerging from it.

The massive horde of zombies quickly attracted the attention of the Luhu Dragon Clan, forcing even Su Ji, who was in seclusion, to emerge from his cultivation.

Knowing that things were going badly, the Dragon King of Luhu Lake dared not hide anything any longer. After explaining the origins of the Corpse Immortal Sect, he apologized, saying, "I thought the Corpse Immortal Sect had long since decayed and disappeared with time. I never expected that they had already colluded with the two little immortals of East Lake and South Lake!"

Such a massive zombie horde could not possibly have been bred in an important area known as the "Forbidden Zone of Living Beings." Only the continuous supply of corpses from East Lake, South Lake, and Pig Fairy Long could have allowed the Corpse Immortal Sect to reach such a scale. "Yesterday, the East Lake Dragon Lord suffered a loss, and today the Corpse Immortal Sect launched a zombie horde. It seems the two sides have indeed been colluding for some time!"

Su Ji originally thought that helping the Dragon King of Luhu Lake was just a matter of orthodoxy among the Taibai Dragon Clan. Now that the Corpse Immortal Sect has been involved, it has escalated into a battle between good and evil!
"The three minor immortals, Donghu Dragon Lord, Nanhu Dragon Lord, and Zhu Polong, still have their dojos to rely on. If they do not leave their dojos, we will need overwhelming force to destroy their dojos and kill the minor immortals."

"And this Corpse Immortal Sect is merely occupying a special area... This battle will be perfect for starting with your zombie horde!"

Although the horde of zombies was enormous, it was somewhat scattered due to the terrain, and its slow speed made it easy to ambush them along the way.

Seeing that Su Ji did not blame him, the Dragon King of Luhu Lake breathed a sigh of relief, but still remembered to remind him:
“Fellow Daoist Jin Chan, although the Ghost Immortals of the Corpse Immortal Sect are not strong enough, if they can use the power of the Yin and evil corpse energy above the corpse tide, they may be able to unleash powerful or even top-tier immortal soldier combat power.”

"If we're going to intercept the zombie horde, it would be best to have the Snow Fox Fairy help us, and we also need to guard against a surprise attack from the three fairies, East Lake, South Lake, and Pig Dragon..."

Clearly, when the Corpse Immortal Sect emerged, the situation in the Autumn Cold Immortal Realm changed once again. Even with Su Ji added, the Immortal God-level combat power was insufficient.

Su Ji frowned at this, then looked westward:
"If it is a struggle for the legitimacy of the Taibai Dragon Clan, then it would be fine if the Cloud Leopard Fairy and the Mountain Wutong Spirit did not get involved;
"Now that the Corpse Immortal Sect has emerged, it has evolved into a battle between good and evil. If the two in the western region do not take action soon, they will surely have to settle accounts with them in the future!"

The little immortal was extremely transcendent within the blessed land and cave heaven. Even the Dragon King of Luhu Lake did not have the confidence to say such a thing. The reason why Su Ji dared to say it was because he was a new cultivator who pioneered the new path.

Previously, Su Ji had only fused the three elements of Deflection, Wind, and Fire to gain powerful immortal weapon combat strength... If Deflection were to be fused with the five elements, his combat strength would probably be no less than that of a minor immortal in a Daoist temple.

During these past ten days or so, Su Ji's seclusion was not without its gains. He used his understanding of the mysteries of earth attributes to further comprehend the mysteries of deflected earth.

This leaves only the elements of water and wood among the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Most importantly, as Su Ji comprehended the profound principles of the Deflected Earth, he also made further progress in integrating these profound principles.

The integration of the five elements must also follow the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint. Previously, Su Ji had only comprehended the paths of fire and metal, which is why there was no possibility of integration.

Now, Su Ji has also comprehended the Deflection of Earth, allowing the Deflection of Earth to interact and merge with Fire and Earth, and Earth and Metal, thus obtaining two superior-grade mystical arts that combine the three paths at once.

As a result, Su Ji possessed three techniques comparable to the full power of a powerful immortal weapon. Even without the help of the Lesser Yin Wind Armor from the Dragon Palace of Luhu Lake, he was not incapable of fighting against the Little Immortal of East Lake.

At this moment, the zombie horde was unstoppable, and even though the Dragon King of Luhu Lake did not know how much Su Ji had improved, he had no choice but to face the challenge head-on.

"I urge Senior Red Deer to make a trip to the western region as soon as possible..."

Compared to the Snow Fox Fairy, the Red Deer Spirit had a lower status and became the errand runner.

The red deer spirit had no objections, after all, the zombie horde's target was the northeastern region he controlled, and it leaped into the clouds. (End of Chapter)
