The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World-Chapter 328: Three-Phase Soul Transformation Secret Technique
As Shang Xingchen flew closer to Chu Xuan, he smiled and said, "Sect Master, your strength is indeed unfathomable. You easily defeated Zhong Hui, and now you have captured Jin Dafu alive."
Chu Xuan chuckled, "Elder Shang, you too remain hidden beneath the surface. That massive puppet, didn't you easily subdue it?"
He had long noticed that Shang Xingchen had already tamed the Giant Rock Puppet. It now obediently followed him, though it was unclear what secret methods he had employed. However, once they returned, Shang Xingchen would undoubtedly need to refine it further before it could truly be his.
Before Shang Xingchen could respond, Chu Xuan continued, "Since Elder Shang has acquired this puppet, I shall take the Soul Transformation Secret Technique."
Shang Xingchen opened his mouth, but no words came out. Indeed it should be. Having already secured the Giant Rock Puppet, it would be improper for him to ask for the Soul Transformation Secret Technique.
Shang Xingchen smiled and said, "If the Sect Master is ever willing to sell the Soul Transformation Secret Technique, please do remember me."
Chu Xuan waved his hand, "Rest assured, I will remember to make a profit from you."
Shang Xingchen was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, "The Sect Master truly is straightforward."
Chu Xuan nodded, "Indeed, I've never lied in my life. I've always been too blunt."
Shang Xingchen chuckled and pointed to the sky. "Every airship of the Exquisite Treasures Alliance has a positioning array. They will use every method available to retrieve their airships. How should we deal with this Golden Dragon ship?"
Chu Xuan countered, "What do you think, Elder Shang?"

Shang Xingchen thought for a moment. "The Divine Sect will certainly be interested in the airships of the Exquisite Treasures Alliance. However, if word of this gets out, the Exquisite Treasures Alliance will undoubtedly hold a grudge against our Heavenly Infinite Sect. I think we should treat it as though Jin Dafu has simply vanished. As long as he doesn't die on Mystic Azure Star, it will have nothing to do with us."
Chu Xuan nodded, "That works perfectly."
"Sect Master, do you have a plan?" Shang Xingchen asked in confusion.
Chu Xuan replied, "I do."
Shang Xingchen didn't ask further. He cupped his hands and said, "I take my leave, Sect Master."
After speaking, he turned and left, taking the Giant Rock Puppet with him.
Chu Xuan waved his hand, summoning the corpse puppets to clean up the battlefield. Then he made his way to the Golden Dragon airship.
On the airship, there were only five female cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. These five women were of varying builds, some delicate, others plump, each with their own charm.
However, despite their Foundation Establishment cultivation, they were utterly powerless. The reason was simple—they were mere concubines kept by Jin Dafu.
Since leaving behind any evidence for the Exquisite Treasures Alliance was unacceptable, these women could not be spared.
Without hesitation, Chu Xuan cast them into the Heavenly Corpse Tower.
"The Golden Dragon ship is quite large. I wonder if it will fit through the Mirror."
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Chu Xuan estimated the size of the airship, realizing it was at least ten zhang long and three zhang wide. Given the vast size of the ship and the smallness of the Mirror, would it fit?
He gave it a try, focusing his mind.
Aha. It worked—it truly fit.
Though the Mirror appeared small, it could adjust its size based on the objects placed within it.
Once the Golden Dragon ship was fully inside, Chu Xuan suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. He almost lost his balance and fell from the sky.
He hurriedly inspected himself.
To his astonishment, his spiritual sea had been drained.
Many of the great spirit stones and medium spiritual stones in his storage bag had also been absorbed. Even a third of his Nascent Soul essence had been depleted.
"So that's how it is," Chu Xuan muttered to himself. "The numerous formations engraved on the Golden Dragon ship, combined with the expensive and heavy materials used to craft the ship, must be the cause."
"It's precisely because of this that moving the Golden Dragon ship through the Mirror to throw it onto Blue Star consumed so much of my Spiritual Qi. It even depleted my spirit stones and Nascent Soul essence."
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
The more energy contained within an object, the greater the consumption required to pass it through the Mirror of All Heavens. This made perfect sense. No wonder, whenever a cultivator was sent to Blue Star, their Spiritual Qi was drained so thoroughly.
It turned out, the Mirror was the one doing the draining. This mirror had quite a bit of intelligence.
Initially, he had thought that anything could be thrown into Blue Star. Now, it seemed that if one were too greedy, trying to force things beyond their own capability into it, a dreadful backlash might occur.
At first, it absorbed Spiritual Qi. When that wasn't enough, it began drawing on Nascent Soul essence.
What would it drain next? His soul? His vitality?
Chu Xuan didn't dwell on the thought further. This had served as a wake-up call for him. From now on, he would need to carefully assess before attempting to throw anything into Blue Star.
Otherwise, the backlash—perhaps even death—could prove disastrous. Such an outcome would be a disgrace to a traverser.
After cleaning up the battlefield and ensuring that no traces were left by the shores of Flying Fish Lake, Chu Xuan returned to Blue Star.
The Golden Dragon ship was casually placed on a flat piece of land. After sending a few corpse puppets to guard it, he temporarily left it alone.
He first approached Zhong Hui, performing a Soul Search Technique. Then, he moved to stand before Jin Dafu, where he conducted the same technique, his actions undisturbed by the despair in the latter's eyes.
After thoroughly searching through their minds, Chu Xuan finally opened his eyes.
"So it was Holy Son Situ Kong," he muttered. "Is this how far you would go to obtain my information?"
He sneered coldly. The last time, the Orthodox Alliance secretly formed by traitors, such as Lu Ren, was also instigated by Situ Kong. As long as this person remained, future trouble would be inevitable.
"The Soul Transformation Secret Technique!"
Chu Xuan rummaged through Jin Dafu's storage bag for quite some time, finally finding a jade slip inscribed with divine consciousness. Upon closer inspection, he saw the words "Three-Phase Soul Transformation Secret Technique" engraved boldly.
He placed the jade slip against his forehead, and countless pieces of written information flooded into his mind. After a while, he massaged his temples, deep in thought.
This Soul Transformation Secret Technique was indeed an ancient method. It originated from the golden age—a time rich in precious herbs and abundant Spiritual Qi. During that era, almost all ancient cultivators practiced the Soul Transformation stage. This particular Three-Phase Soul Transformation Secret Technique was no different.
However, the practitioner's Nascent Soul was unusually small, which would make it impossible for him to successfully undergo Deity Transformation. Thus, he took an unconventional path.
He spent two hundred years of his life on this technique, eventually creating the Three-Phase Soul Transformation Secret Technique.
This technique required a special parasite called the "Ghost Shadow Worm," which would voluntarily parasitize the Nascent Soul. The Ghost Shadow Worm fed on shadows. Once it consumed enough, it would enter a cocoon-like stage and undergo a metamorphosis, going through three stages of development.
It was precisely because of the Ghost Shadow Worm's unique nature that a parasitized Nascent Soul could undergo a transformation, significantly increasing the chances of successfully entering the Deity Transformation stage.
Once the cultivator reached Deity Transformation, this ancient practitioner claimed he could devour the Ghost Shadow Worm. By doing so, the hidden risk of being parasitized would disappear, and the Nascent Soul would be strengthened further.
However, to ensure the Ghost Shadow Worm kept feeding and evolving, this cultivator had no choice but to kill countless mortals. The accumulated karma from these actions had become so immense that the tribulation during Deity Transformation would be particularly terrifying.
From the last words left in the jade slip, it seemed that this ancient cultivator had never survived the Deity Transformation tribulation.
But for Chu Xuan, this was hardly an obstacle.
Shadows? Weren't there plenty of them with the zombies?
