Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials

Looking at the peculiar glowing source orb before him, Zheng Yi couldn’t help but marvel at the power of the Nine Netherworld Soul Slaying Fire.

The once-mighty Qin Family Ancestor, a newly advanced Purple Mansion Cultivator, was so powerful before. Now, he has been reduced to a source of origin force without consciousness, truly the epitome of reversal and contrasting fates.

Nonetheless, Zheng Yi refined it once more to prevent any remaining will from changing again.

The ability to freely traverse two realms is Zheng Yi’s greatest secret, a secret that none must know.

Thus, being a little troublesome and cautious aligns more with Zheng Yi’s interests.

To quickly understand the simplified principles of the Four Extremes Array Map, Zheng Yi personally experimented using the divine soul origin of the Qin Family Ancestor.

His eyes glimmered with brilliance, deep in thought, but in the end, with a wisp of smoke, the divine soul power of the Qin Family Ancestor, Qin Fang, collapsed, ultimately ending in failure.

Everything returned to square one once again.

This Four Extremes Array Map is indeed tremendously difficult.

Entry-level is as challenging as ascending to the heavens.

...

Refusing to admit defeat, Zheng Yi continued to utilize the wisdom aura of the Incense Fire Dharma Realm, connecting his consciousness with the Super Brain Main God, investing a vast amount of effort in calculations each time.

It cannot be said there were no gains at all; however, the gains were minimal, with no significant breakthroughs for a long time.

After three consecutive months, even Zheng Yi felt slightly depressed, but he quickly regained his Dao Heart and was invigorated.

He decided to first return to the Great Yi City Immortal Realm to gather some information and check the reaction and movements of the Golden Palace Sect since his departure.

Regarding the news of the Taibai Divine Gold from last time, it should have been mostly digested by now.

On the other hand, it’s also a way to relax; otherwise, the matter of the Four Extremes Array Map, with no breakthrough, indeed troubles the mind, causing great frustration.

Just right to return to the Great Yi City Immortal Realm to see, to comfort his two concubines.

Zheng Yi traced his steps back and then traversed a hundred thousand miles from the Daluo Alliance mountain gate area, traveling secretly with concealed trails back to the mountains.

However, when he returned to the Chaotic Mountain Range Region, weary and dusty, he found something unusual.

Hastening towards the Daluo Alliance headquarters, as soon as he entered the Mountain Protection Gate Array, he sensed the atmosphere was utterly different, with strictly guarded defenses and the entire mountain gate array fully activated, consuming an enormous amount of spirit stones daily.

Such readiness, this type of atmosphere, typically only appears when facing strong enemies, even at the risk of annihilation, thus disregarding resource expenditure.

Along the way, Zheng Yi secretly observed; the alliance members were all in haste, with weary faces revealing solemn expressions in their eyes, confirming Zheng Yi’s suspicions.

After all, this situation did not appear on just one person; all exhibited a sense of forlornness, feeling immense pressure.

This was entirely different from the thriving atmosphere of the Daluo Alliance when Zheng Yi left, like night and day.

"What exactly has happened? Such a significant change in the Daluo Alliance."

Zheng Yi pondered, his eyes flickering.

The pressure from the Golden Palace Sect has finally arrived!

It seems the Taibai Divine Gold was more crucial to the Golden Palace Sect than he initially imagined.

Zheng Yi’s powerful divine soul power radiated, having undergone transformation and realm breakthrough, and his soul range now reached eight hundred zhang, steadily advancing.

When he advances to the middle stage of the Purple Mansion, he should be comparable to the old monster Master Baoxu.

"The Taiyin Profound Blood Refining Array has already been dispatched, and there are numerous wounded at the mountain gate..."

Zheng Yi clearly perceived everything and mused internally.

"What exactly occurred?"

"I must find someone to clarify..."

Several figures involuntarily surfaced in Zheng Yi’s mind.

...

When Zheng Yi returned to the Daluo Alliance headquarters, it was already a scene of chaos; everyone wore somewhat anxious expressions, a trepid atmosphere enveloping the entire mountain gate.

The mountain gate array was fully open, and outside the mountain gate, troops of well-equipped cultivators gathered and organized within the mountain gate and were dispatched outwards.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like a large-scale war was underway.

Simultaneously, the surrounding defenses were extremely tight; with Zheng Yi’s colossal divine soul probing outward, one could feel the patrolling cultivators and obviously, or covertly, guarding every inch of the Daluo Alliance’s mountain gate, should be preventing infiltration and intrusion by outsiders.

Zheng Yi did not directly summon Qi Lin but first returned to the rear courtyard, meeting separately with Xin Lingxian and Luoo Yaoyao.

Due to the special artifact refining ability of the Xin Family, they quickly established a foothold within the alliance.

Especially in this peculiar period, they received special favors and began mass-producing various mid-low tier spiritual artifacts under the support of a plethora of refining resources from the Daluo Alliance, among which were some fine artifacts, allowing the Xin Family to occupy a not insignificant position within the alliance.

Thus, within the Daluo Alliance, the Xin Family, relying on its refining capability and some advantages from its network, became an indispensable force.

As the patriarch of the Xin Family, Xin Lingxian, being Zheng Yi’s concubine, was in fact a plant he arranged within the sect, and any minor movement could not escape her eyes and ears.

The plethora of intelligence eventually had to be gathered and reported to Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi’s visit this time represented his trust in the Xin Family and Xin Lingxian.

In fact, through divine soul sweeping and piecing together fragments of conversation, he already knew the core incident that had recently occurred in the Daluo Alliance.

But those were from lower-level cultivators; to fully understand the situation, Zheng Yi needed to rely on various intelligence collected by the Xin Family.

As someone who transmigrated to another world and mingled among the lowest ranks of loose cultivators in Profound Void City for over a decade, Zheng Yi had long witnessed the darkness of human nature and the schemes and plots, so he essentially wasn’t someone who could completely trust others.

To survive in the cultivation realm, he grasped the principle of power balance well.

This is something that even his concubines are no exception to.

As the Xin Family, which relies on the Daluo Alliance, they need the Alliance to grow stronger so that they can flourish even more; especially since Xin Lingxian is also Zheng Yi’s concubine, they’ve already shared interests and would prosper or suffer together.

By painstakingly clinging to Zheng Yi as a significant figure, the Xin Family could temporarily catch a breath; if Zheng Yi toppled, it would be unwarranted disaster for the Xin Family, even leading to catastrophic loss.

Hence, for the imminent dangers Zheng Yi would face, the Xin Family, relying beneath him, might possibly worry and feel more anxious than him.

For his inquiries, naturally, they spared no secrets.

Even though he often secluded or busied himself outside, Zheng Yi’s control over the main sect of the Daluo Alliance remained unbreakable, owing to his control over the Blood Cultivators and the numerous plants he laid across the alliance, with the Xin Family being just a small part.

Upon leaving Xin Lingxian, Zheng Yi’s expression was particularly grave, a trace of a cold gleam in his eyes, exuding an unapproachable air.

Afterwards, it wasn’t long within the main hall before Luoo Yaoyao received a message and hurried over; after briefly exchanging formalities with Zheng Yi, she directly relayed all the information she understood.

Watching Luoo Yaoyao, Zheng Yi noticed that her Innate Wood Constitution was in full play, exuding a clear and spiritual aura that naturally flowed with vibrant life force under her graceful figure.

This signified that through relentless effort and the substantial resources of the Daluo Alliance, she had progressed to another level, and her beautiful visage, supported by the fresh and elegant air, appeared even more alluring and radiant.

Zheng Yi slightly eased the somber expression on his face, revealing a faint smile as he looked at her and slowly spoke.

"In less than a year, you’ve reached the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"Very good!"

Upon hearing this, Luoo Yaoyao, who was initially uneasy, immediately smiled brightly, as if a fresh flower bloomed instantaneously, her vibrant colors lighting up the hall.
