A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"that's it."

After giving her instructions, Weiwei didn't linger and left gracefully, leaving Ye Fan standing there dumbfounded.

Tu Fei and Li Heishui, seeing that Weiwei's figure had completely disappeared, asked with strange expressions:

"Brother Ye, is this the legendary Heavenly Pivot Saintess? Why do you call her Saintess?"

"Brother Ye, I never imagined that you were the one who spread the gossip about Immortal Venerable Lin Xiu! You're incredibly audacious!"

Ye Fan: "........."

Ye Fan had no desire to explain to the two of them, and simply looked up at the sky helplessly.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to try the solution we came up with before, even if it seems hopeless!

I just hope that, seeing how belatedly I've tried to salvage the situation, the Holy Lord will be a little gentler when he takes action.

Now that things have come to this, Ye Fan no longer harbors any idea of ​​getting away with it undetected.

If Weiwei already knows, how could Lin Xiu not know?

Moreover, according to Weiwei, her intelligence network in the Holy City is even stronger than that of Tu Fei and Li Heishui!

How long has Tianxuan Holy Land been wealthy? How come Weiwei has developed so rapidly? How come he, a Tianxuan native, hasn't noticed anything at all?

.......

On the other side, Lin Xiu's side.

Lin Xiu did not spend his time cultivating in the Calabash Brothers world. After completing the system component recycling mission in the Calabash Brothers world, he quickly opened the next world.

The world that has been opened this time is called "Zombie World," a world filled with eerie atmosphere and ghosts.

Lin Xiu speculated that the system components were either inside those Taoist priests or integrated into the bodies of those zombies who had transcended the Three Realms and Five Elements and were not subject to reincarnation.

Thus, starting with "Mr. Vampire," Lin Xiu used Taoist magic to guide those destined to embark on the path of cultivation while simultaneously searching for the traces of various special zombies.

In just over six months, Lin Xiu not only raised his cultivation level to the Ninth Transformation of Dragon, but also encountered all sorts of strange and unusual zombies.

There are vampires from the West who are afraid of crosses and garlic, but can transform into bats and move extremely fast.

There is a musical zombie that has been modified by Western scientists. It combines Chinese and Western elements and eliminates both weaknesses, making it invincible.

There is also a bronze-armored zombie that has been struck by lightning three times. Its body is wrapped in lightning, and it has begun to develop intelligence. It can speak human language and is evolving into a flying zombie.

Unfortunately, no zombie could withstand his Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.

These zombies, who were not subject to reincarnation, were ultimately sent to reincarnation by Lin Xiu's Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.

.......

The experience of killing zombies was not important to Lin Xiu.

The truly important ones are the special zombies that are different from ordinary zombies.

Each type of special zombie was a novel "sample" that Lin Xiu had never seen before.

After Lin Xiu copied it into the Dao Yun Space, he carefully studied the "Dao" and "Li" on it.

Zombies are born from the resentment, bad luck, and death energy of heaven and earth. They are ageless, immortal, and indestructible, rejected by the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity, and exist outside the six paths of sentient beings. Their bodies are harder than refined iron, and they possess immense strength. Most of them fear sunlight and fire, and are especially afraid of the extremely yang and powerful lightning.

Lin Fu suppressed the Daoist aura emanating from them, and a vague understanding began to emerge in his heart.

[This zombie, seemingly transcending the Three Realms and Five Elements, and even the Six Paths of Reincarnation cannot restrain it, can be said to have completely broken free from the "small cycle."]

But are they truly free?

No, they are not truly free. They have merely jumped from the smaller cycle of "the six realms of reincarnation" into a larger cycle called "the way of heaven."

Heaven's justice is impartial, yet ruthless.

Zombies, being beings of extreme yin and evil, and unbound by the cycle of reincarnation, are inherently a provocation and disruption of the natural order. Therefore, the natural order instinctively abhors them, sending down sunlight as punishment and unleashing heavenly lightning as calamity, striving to completely eradicate them and return them to the origin of heaven and earth.

........

Cultivators, by defying the heavens and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves, are, in a sense, disrupting the original balance of heaven and earth.

Therefore, Heaven will also send down tribulations as punishment and a test.

However, though Heaven is merciless, it leaves a glimmer of hope.

If a zombie can withstand the extremely powerful and yang-dominant lightning tribulation, it can regulate the yin and yang within its body and break through to a higher realm.

If a cultivator can comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao during a tribulation of lightning, and their cultivation becomes increasingly "close to the Dao," then the Heavenly Dao will not only refrain from suppressing them, but will also acknowledge and even celebrate their attainment of the Dao.

"In harmony with the Dao...close to the Dao...so that's how it is."

Lin Xiu murmured, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. He subtly connected the zombies of the zombie world with the mysterious existences of the Emperor Corpse's spiritual connection and the Reincarnation Seal in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, verifying them one by one, and his understanding of the cycle of life and death grew ever deeper.

From a certain perspective, zombies are also a kind of cultivator.

However, unlike ordinary cultivators, zombies can only comprehend the Great Dao and harmonize Yin and Yang through tribulations of lightning before developing sentience. Since tribulations of lightning are something zombies fear, their survival rate is very low before they develop sentience.

If a zombie were to develop sentience, it could absorb the energy from the blood by drinking it, comprehend the Dao contained within the blood, and thus actively and rapidly increase its strength.

[From the perspective of comprehending the Great Dao within the blood, it does share a similar essence with my ancient blood-written runes.]

.......

Lin Xiu sat quietly in a place where Yin meridians converged in the zombie world, surrounded by countless zombie shells left behind after he had suppressed and studied them. In his palm, a gray-black vortex formed by the fusion of many zombie Daoist auras slowly rotated, its interior heavy with deathly energy, yet seemingly giving birth to a glimmer of life within the endless deathly aura.

"To transcend the six realms is called 'rebellion.' However, rebellion without following the natural order will ultimately be disliked by the Way of Heaven."

“My Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist evolves into the six paths of reincarnation, aiming to explain the change within the ‘following’ principle. Now, perhaps it is time to incorporate the true meaning of the ‘reverse’ principle in order to explain the more complete ‘reincarnation’ principle.”

"Following the natural order makes one mortal; defying it makes one immortal."

"Only by observing the alternation of fortune and misfortune can one see the full picture of the great cycle of reincarnation beyond the small cycle of reincarnation."

Lin Xiu's understanding became increasingly profound, and he even began to use the meanings of "rebellion," "transcendence," and "immortality" contained in the zombie Daoist rhyme to nourish his own Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.

Within the Daoist space, beside the illusory image of the Lesser Six Paths of Reincarnation, a dark and blurry scene gradually evolved, detached from the Six Paths.

There, the aura of corpses was overwhelming, and all spirits were silent, yet it stubbornly existed, constantly impacting and eroding the boundaries of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, making its operation appear even more real and magnificent.

Under the influence of external factors like the Daoist Rhyme of Zombies, Lin Xiu's Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist became increasingly perfect.

Furthermore, the Daoist aura emanating from these zombies even sparked a brand new idea in Lin Xiu.

[The zombie's Daoist aura is able to influence and catalyze the perfection of the Lesser Six Paths of Reincarnation because it has transcended the Six Paths of Reincarnation.]

If I find something that transcends the Six Paths of Reincarnation, can I also use it to perfect the Lesser Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist?

[Could it even... allow the Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist to evolve to a completely new level?]

Lin Xiu knew that his Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was still a long way from true perfection; it was just another big step forward on the path to minor success.

However, this great step was invaluable, directly laying the foundation for Lin Xiu to surpass the Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist in the future.

[Besides the Daoist aura of zombies, what other things that transcend the Six Paths of Reincarnation can help the Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist improve?]

Lin Xiu looked at the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Dao Rhyme in the Dao Rhyme Space, which had always been otherworldly.

Chapter 189 The Sendai Secret Realm Opens!

[By using the image of nine dragons pulling a coffin as righteous and the Taoist aura of a zombie as evil, allowing the two to influence the cycle of reincarnation in different directions, one can potentially achieve continuous progress.]

If I have the chance, I'll go to the Forbidden Ancient Land again!

Now that Lin Xiu's cultivation level has improved, the Daoist essence he obtained from the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is no longer sufficient.

In terms of pure comprehension, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is simply too advanced; even if Lin Xiu's realm is higher, he cannot fully comprehend it.

When Lin Xiu said it wasn't enough, he meant that its use as a phenomenon within the Daoist space was somewhat insufficient.

After all... the Daoist Rhyme of Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is of a very high level and cannot be repaired by the Daoist Rhyme of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Immortal Scripture. Lin Xiu can only refresh it manually by himself.

......

Next, Lin Xiu continued to fight off zombies and collect system components while perfecting his own dragon transformation realm.

When the system components of the zombie world were completely recycled, Lin Xiu had already squeezed half of his body into the Immortal Platform, just one step away from breaking through to the next realm!

【Ding! 】

[Zombie World system components have been completely recycled.]

[System components have been fully recycled, and the overflow portion is being withdrawn to the host.]

【ding~】

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: a portion of the Zombie World System component's experience (Quality: ???).]

[Partial Experience of a Zombie World System Component: As the name suggests, this is a partial experience of a Zombie World system component. With this experience, the host can perceive a portion of the system component's experiences in the Zombie World.]

"Forehead......."

Looking at the system reward, Lin Xiu's lips twitched slightly. It wasn't that he thought the reward was inappropriate; after all, if he could personally experience it, it would definitely be of great benefit to his enlightenment.

But... Lin Xiu suddenly thought of a possibility.

"System, you didn't actually take a kickback from me, did you? At least in the previous worlds there were physical rewards, but now it's all virtual rewards? Are you really not going to give me a single penny?"

system:【........】

The system did not respond, and Lin Xiu did not pursue the matter further, so he directly used the system reward.

In an instant, everything went black before Lin Xiu's eyes, and his consciousness seemed to be pulled into a strange space.

He felt himself transform into a speck of light, possessing a recently deceased corpse.

The corpse was buried in a corpse-nurturing ground, where the earth's energy nourished it, and resentment gathered, gradually causing some kind of change.

After an unknown amount of time, the corpse opened its eyes, its pupils a grayish-white color.

It has no consciousness, only an instinctive thirst for blood and hatred for living beings.

It broke open the coffin, crawled out of the grave, and wandered in the moonlight, searching for prey.

It sucks blood, grows stronger and stronger, moves faster and faster, its nails grow longer and its teeth grow sharper and sharper.

It fears sunlight, hides in the shadows, and is only active at night.

One day, it was discovered by a Taoist priest, who stabbed it with a peach wood sword, suppressed it with a talisman, and bound it with an ink line.

It was injured and fled back to the corpse-raising ground to absorb the earth's energy to heal its wounds.

After its wounds healed, it became even more ferocious, emerged from the mountain again, killed the Taoist priest, and drained his blood.
