Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 73 – Hatching insect eggs, new Gu Insect
The cracks on the surface of the black insect egg spread like a spider web.
Soon, under Chu Xuan's watchful gaze, it suddenly split open.
A soft black larva lay inside the egg.
Its body was covered with a shell, but it broke with a poke, like delicate paper.
Its limbs were also very soft, as if they would break at a touch.
As soon as it was born, the larva was weak and feeble.
Its vitality faded away like silk being drawn out.
This larva, born from the mating of an Iron-Shelled Bug and Blood Steel Wire, was a completely deformed product.
Before Chu Xuan could do anything, the larva tragically died.
Chu Xuan shook his head.
It seemed this mating attempt had failed.
Failures in Gu insect mating were all too common.
Even if other Gu breeders could successfully mate Iron-Shelled Bugs and Blood Steel Wire, it didn't necessarily mean success for Chu Xuan.

After all, every Gu insect's diet and growth were entirely different.
Each was unique.
Even the most accomplished Gu breeders could only try to record which Gu insects had higher probabilities of successful mating.
They couldn't guarantee a hundred percent success.
Chu Xuan wasn't discouraged.
He calmed his mind and continued to cultivate.
Waiting for the second and third insect eggs to hatch.
A month later.
Both insect eggs showed cracks.
Under Chu Xuan's gaze, two slightly transparent larvae emerged one after another.
The larva born from the Thought Raising Bug and Blood Steel Wire was transparent white.
The larva born from the Spirit Sea Bug and Blood Steel Wire was sky blue.
Chu Xuan was amazed to find that neither of these larvae was deformed.
Instead, they were lively and energetic.
As soon as they were born, they devoured their eggshells clean.
Their bellies were bulging, and they curiously observed their surroundings.
Chu Xuan collected them into the Blood Insect Sack.
Immediately feeding them with Blood Pearls.
At the same time, he used the identification spell to examine their potential.
After this examination, Chu Xuan was even more amazed.
These two larvae actually had the potential of a Third Transformation Gu!
This meant that as long as there was enough flesh and blood, they could smoothly advance to Third Transformation Gu, comparable to Golden Elixir masters!
Moreover, both larvae possessed the characteristics of their respective parents!
Chu Xuan showed a look of satisfaction.
Surely, his accumulated merit had once again played a role in the unseen.
Merit was indeed beneficial.
As long as there was a probability, merit could turn the tide.
Fortune and luck abounded!
However, these two larvae couldn't provide combat power yet.
At least one or two months of nurturing were needed, until they advanced to First Transformation Gu, to truly be of use.
"The larva of the Thought Raising Bug can enhance my divine sense, allowing me to control more spiritual artifacts in the future."
"The larva of the Spirit Sea Bug is equivalent to a small spirit sea, increasing my total spiritual power by a bit in the future!"
Chu Xuan smiled slightly.
After a moment of joy, he continued to sit down and cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed on Ocean Blue Star.
Chu Xuan moved his mind.
Three Gu insects appeared in his palm.
The first was the Second Transformation Gu Steel Wire.
The second was the First Transformation Gu Little White.
The third was the First Transformation Gu Little Blue.
Chu Xuan was too lazy to think of names for these two little things, so he simply named them by their colors.
As for the Listening Insect in his ear, ever since Chu Xuan advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, its usefulness had diminished.
Yet it still required an extra portion of flesh and blood.
Chu Xuan simply set it free, letting it leave.
After Little White and Little Blue rooted in his brain and spirit sea, Chu Xuan could clearly feel that his divine sense and spiritual power had both increased.
Chu Xuan beckoned with his hand.
The Soul Reaping Chain coiled around him like a black python.
Another beckon.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner appeared as well.
In the past, simultaneously activating these two spiritual artifacts would make him feel slightly dizzy.
But now, he hadn't even reached his limit.
This meant he could activate a third spiritual artifact.
Chu Xuan brushed his hand over his storage bag.
The Merit Bell suddenly appeared, hovering above his head, enveloping him.
Intense golden light radiated outward, seemingly able to dispel all evil spirits.
The golden light was so dense it almost formed a substantial golden giant bell.
It seemed that no attack in this world could break it.
Chu Xuan showed a look of joy.
Simultaneously activating three spiritual artifacts!
Compared to before, this was a huge improvement.
It's worth noting that many mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't activate three spiritual artifacts at once.
With the help of Gu insects, he once again surpassed many cultivators of the same realm.
...
Water Curtain Cave.
As usual, Chu Xuan returned to his cave dwelling to check for messages.
Currently, tensions between the cultivators of Tianyin Gate and the native sects of Wuzhou were becoming increasingly apparent.
Chu Xuan had long instructed Chen Ge to compile intelligence and leave messages for him at any time.
In addition, the three senior brothers in the Extreme Yin Cave might also leave him messages.
So, frequently checking messages was never a bad idea.
He activated the sound-recording formation of the cave dwelling and immediately heard the first voice.
It was left by Chen Ge.
"Uncle Chu, the first batch of cultivators suffered heavy losses, even two Foundation Establishment cultivators died, and more Qi Refining stage cultivators perished."
"Uncle Chu, our Extreme Yin Cave has begun establishing a second mortal city and has recruited several spirit seedlings, all under Uncle Wu Teng's guidance."
"Uncle Chu, our Extreme Yin Cave has gained a new Foundation Establishment cultivator, rumored to be an outsider loose cultivator who joined voluntarily."
"Uncle Chu, the second batch of cultivators sent by Tianyin Gate's main hall has arrived."
"Uncle Chu..."
Chu Xuan patiently listened to all of Chen Ge's messages.
This Qi Refining stage disciple was very meticulous, covering all aspects.
Through his descriptions, Chu Xuan had gained a good understanding of the conflict between Tianyin Gate and the native sects of Wuzhou.
Most of the first batch of Tianyin Gate cultivators sent to Wuzhou were those who had been marginalized, lacking any background, and naturally not very strong.
And the strength of the native sects of Wuzhou was not as weak as many imagined.
They organized many counterattacks, one of which almost reached the territory of the Extreme Yin Cave.
"Huh, a message from Liu Zhenxiong?"
Chu Xuan heard a new voice and was a bit surprised.
"Junior Brother Chu! The second batch of cultivators sent by the main hall has arrived, and among them are two disciples of Senior Zhao Wuya. If you have time, come to my cave dwelling, and I'll introduce you to them."
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Zhao Wuya was the Golden Elixir cultivator who facilitated the integration of the Extreme Yin Cave into Tianyin Gate.
He had always disliked the actions and style of the Divine Gang Sect.
Wan Wuying and Zhao Wuya seemed to be old acquaintances.
Clearly, the cultivators of Zhao Wuya's faction were considered allies by Liu Zhenxiong.
However, these two cultivators had become part of the second batch sent to Wuzhou.
It seemed Zhao Wuya's faction was being suppressed by other factions.
"In that case, it would indeed be worthwhile to meet them."
"Even if they're not friends, at least I can trade some things with them."
Chu Xuan pondered.
He rode the Heavenly Force Flying Sword away from the Water Curtain Cave and headed to Liu Zhenxiong's cave dwelling.
Liu Zhenxiong's cave dwelling was located north of the Extreme Yin Cave Daoist Temple.
Chu Xuan circled a few times before finding the cave dwelling.
This was his first time visiting Liu Zhenxiong's cave dwelling.
Upon arriving, Chu Xuan took out a transmission jade to send a message to Liu Zhenxiong.
To his surprise, the mist quickly receded, revealing a path.
Liu Zhenxiong and a cultivator came out to greet him.
"Junior Brother, we were just talking about you! I didn't expect you to come just in time!"
Liu Zhenxiong beamed with a smile.
