The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World-Chapter 340: Human years pass in the blink of an eye
The Palace Master of South Wilderness Palace looked up at Chu Xuan, feeling sweat break out all over his body.
This was the man who had single-handedly shattered Feather Transformation Heaven Palace! Why had he suddenly come to South Wilderness Palace? Was it because he had failed in some task and angered him?
The South Wilderness Palace Master immediately bowed deeply. "Golden Core Elder of Heavenly Infinite Sect, Sun Shidong, greets the Sect Master!"
Though he was the Palace Master of South Wilderness Palace, his authority only extended within South Wilderness. Outside this region, his title meant little. His true standing in front of Chu Xuan was that of a Golden Core Elder in the Heavenly Infinite Sect. If he encountered other Golden Core cultivators from the Eastern, Western, or Northern regions, he would still present himself as a Golden Core Elder.
Beside him, the Third Elder of South Wilderness Palace also quickly greeted him. "Golden Core Elder Wu Meng greets Sect Master!"
Upon seeing Li Qingshan standing next to Chu Xuan, an ominous premonition rose in Wu Meng's heart. This boy was merely a descendant of a fallen sect—what qualifications did he have to stand beside the Sect Master?
Before Chu Xuan could speak, Wu Meng, quick on his feet, shouted loudly, "Sect Master! I have an urgent matter to report!"
Sun Shidong paused for a moment, looking at Wu Meng in surprise. It was as though he were asking, Are you out of your mind?
Chu Xuan's expression remained unchanged. "Speak."
Wu Meng pointed at Li Qingshan. "This boy has been parading around, falsely claiming to be a descendant of a fallen sect. Last time, he even tricked me! I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen, so I had him driven out.
Furthermore, this boy is extremely vicious! He turned his own mother into a corpse puppet and controls her day and night. He must have used sweet words to deceive the Sect Master! Please, Sect Master, do not be fooled by him!"
Li Qingshan was dumbfounded. "You... You are twisting the truth! It was you who stole my mother's treasure and turned her into a corpse puppet!"
His training was still insufficient, and facing a master liar like Wu Meng, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
What did Wu Meng take him for? A righteous, justice-driven cultivator?
"Wu Meng, it seems you've misunderstood something," Chu Xuan said indifferently. "I, Chu Xuan, have always acted on my own heart, never relying on evidence. Sun Shidong, I believe South Wilderness Palace could use a powerful corpse general to keep watch."
He flicked his finger lightly, sending out a jade slip imbued with divine consciousness.
Sun Shidong was momentarily stunned before his face lit up with joy.
He exchanged a meaningful glance with Wu Meng and then roared, "Golden Core cultivator Wu Meng has defied authority, shown disrespect, and is deserving of death! All Golden Core cultivators of South Wilderness Palace, come with me to slay this traitor!"
As soon as his words fell, several Golden Core cultivators shot out from the gates, surrounding Wu Meng for the kill.
Wu Meng had always been arrogant and domineering, looking down on others. Now, surrounded by several Golden Core cultivators, his downfall was only a matter of time.
Li Qingshan stared intensely at Wu Meng. The shadow of the latter, facing the siege of several people, barely had time to let out a furious roar before he was instantly obliterated, his life snuffed out in an instant.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Sun Shidong respectfully approached Chu Xuan, holding Wu Meng's corpse puppet tower in his hands. Chu Xuan glanced briefly at Li Qingshan, and Sun Shidong, understanding the unspoken order, handed it to him.
"Take control of South Wilderness well," Chu Xuan said calmly.
Sun Shidong bowed respectfully. "Yes!"
With a swift motion, Chu Xuan lifted Li Qingshan and mounted the flying magic tool, soaring into the sky.
Sun Shidong and the other cultivators stood by and shouted in unison, "Farewell to the Sect Master!"
…
At the graveyard of Extreme Yin Cave.
"Now, you know who I am, don't you?" Chu Xuan said quietly.
Li Qingshan gazed at him in awe. "Yes, you're Uncle Master Chu of Extreme Yin Cave, and also... the Sect Master of Heavenly Infinite Sect."
His heart churned like turbulent waves. He never imagined that Chu Xuan, who had once been his senior brother, would have become a Nascent Soul cultivator while his mother had remained at the Foundation Establishment stage, even at the time of her death.
Chu Xuan calmly spoke again. "Bury your mother."
A moment later, beside the graves of Liu Zhenxiong and Wan Wuying, a new tombstone stood.
"Extreme Yin Cave Foundation Establishment Disciple Li Xiaoman. — Disciple Li Qingshan erected."
"Are you willing to come with me?" Chu Xuan asked indifferently.
"Yes!" Li Qingshan responded without hesitation.
"I won't treat you differently. How far you can grow will depend entirely on your own ability," Chu Xuan continued, his voice steady.
"Li Qingshan will never forget the Sect Master's kindness!" Li Qingshan added with conviction.
Chu Xuan nodded in approval, then took Li Qingshan and returned to Central Continent.
…
Heavenly Infinite Sect.
Chu Xuan threw Li Qingshan into the hands of Yuan Zichu, instructing him to register his name. After that, he no longer paid attention to the boy.
Avenging Li Xiaoman was the last thing he could do for a fellow disciple, a final act of brotherly kindness. After all, he had once appreciated Li Xiaoman's temperament and talent.
It was just unfortunate that without extraordinary fortune, such people could never make it to the Golden Core stage.
Bringing Li Qingshan to the Heavenly Infinite Sect was the last responsibility he had as a disciple of Extreme Yin Cave. From that moment onward, there would be no more Chu Xuan from Extreme Yin Cave.
"Human years pass in the blink of an eye, while the vast heavens see countless tribulations and ashes," Chu Xuan mused with a sigh. "Ultimately, I remain alone, walking the winds and rain, drifting for a thousand miles."
With a soft sigh, Chu Xuan stepped forward, returning to the Blue Star.
...
Cave World.
This year, Lie Xin had reached the age of one hundred and one.
Under her leadership, both the Holy Ant Tribe and the Fire Ant Tribe were thriving. The relationship between the two tribes was particularly harmonious, akin to two brother tribes.
Lie Xin still maintained her usual habits. She focused on setting the broad direction for the tribe, leaving the details to others. Most of her time was dedicated to studying the books she had collected.
Since taking over the Holy Ant Tribe, Lie Xin had strongly advocated for trade, facilitating the movement of merchant caravans between the major tribes.
As a result, she had accumulated a large number of books. As she read through them, the words were clearly visible to Chu Xuan as well, allowing him to understand the Cave World in greater detail.
Previously, he knew that large tribes were governed by larger nations, but he didn't know how many such nations there were. Now, he knew that the Cave World was ruled by three major nations: the Myriad Insects Nation, the Heavenly Cave Nation, and the Flying Dragon Nation.
The nation that governed the Holy Ant Tribe was Myriad Insects Nation. In addition, Myriad Insects Nation ruled at least eight other large tribes, covering an expansive territory.
As for the Tian Xue Nation and the Flying Dragon Nation, there was little detailed information about them in the books Lie Xin had read, but they were undoubtedly as powerful as Myriad Insects Nation.
However, it was clear that the three major nations were not at peace with one another.
"The cultivation method for the Holy Ant Tribe's sacred ants, I've already understood it thoroughly," Lie Xin thought to herself. "Now, I need more advanced methods for cultivating other types of insects. I wonder what the insect cultivation methods of Myriad Insects Nation are like. I'm quite curious."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile.
The most powerful insect masters in the Cave World were the Diamond Insect Masters. Only the most exceptional among them could become the titular Insect Masters, earning a unique and prestigious title.
These masters were all located in the capital cities of the major nations and their surrounding direct-controlled areas. To obtain a Diamond-level insect cultivation method, one would need to continue advancing with great effort.

"Diamond-level insect cultivation method?" Lie Xin felt the mirror shard tremble. She opened it to find a new line of text displayed within.
The weight of the words in the mirror was enough to make her gasp.
Lie Xin couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Where am I supposed to get a Diamond-level insect cultivation method from?
