Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

These runes are incredibly eerie; to an ordinary person who glances at them, it's as if countless ghostly figures are roaring.

"what!!"

"Ghost!!"

"Run!"

The guards were so frightened by this scene that they scattered and fled.

Steward Wu also fled in terror, carrying the young prince with him, since they would only be a burden if they stayed.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this that dares to ambush us!"

Master Qianhe struggled to climb out of the pit and cursed angrily at the coffin.

At this moment, his peach wood sword was still stuck above the coffin, but it looked like it had only gone in less than a centimeter.

You should know that his magic weapon was a high-grade earth-rank magic weapon that he had obtained after accumulating a large number of spirit stones over the years.

Who would have thought that it would be completely destroyed in an instant, unable to even break through the opponent's defenses.

"Master, Master, are you alright?!"

The four of them, holding peach wood swords, also ran to Master Qianhe's side.

"It's alright, lend me your weapon! You guys prepare the Four Symbols Demon-Binding Rope!"

Master Qianhe shook his head and then took the low-grade earth-rank peach wood sword from Dongfeng's hand.

"Squeak!!!"

However, at that very moment, the coffin not far away slowly opened! "Bang!!!"

As the coffin lid slowly fell, a withered, gray-robed old Taoist priest emerged from it...

The old Taoist's appearance, which resembled a dried corpse, caused the people from all directions, who had been traveling the martial arts world for many years, to change their expressions. "Is this no longer human?"

How could a human do such a thing!

"The Corpse Bone Sect! I never expected it to be you!!"

Upon seeing the other person, Master Qianhe immediately guessed their identity.

Blood-red coffins stand atop mountains of bones! White bones lie amidst piles of blood-red coffins!

The song itself reveals that the Corpse Bone Sect is a sect formed from countless corpses.

Its sect was designated as a forbidden area by major cultivation sects.

Even a single trip can drain the life force of an ordinary cultivator! Even a Celestial Master would suffer damage to their foundation.

The most distinctive feature of the Corpse Bone Sect is their skeleton-like bodies and the blood coffins irrigated with the blood of countless living beings! However, Daoist Qianhe never expected to see members of the Corpse Bone Sect here!

After all, the Corpse Bone Sect was located in a desolate mountain more than 100 kilometers away from the capital.

"Master Qianhe, we meet again!"

However, at this moment, the old Taoist priest from the Corpse Bone Sect spoke in a sinister tone.

"We've met before!?"

Master Qianhe frowned.

Upon hearing his words, the old Taoist priest smiled.

"You may have forgotten, but thirty years ago! The massacre of the Zhong family! It was I who committed it!!"

Back then, you were five years old and hiding under the bed, so you never saw what I looked like!

The old Taoist priest spoke calmly, his face filled with reminiscence. If one did not know the truth, one might think that the old Taoist priest and Master Qianhe were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

However, his words had just fallen.

Master Qianhe's expression instantly turned crazed.

"It's you! It was you all along! You're the one who wiped out my Zhong family! I'll kill you!"

Master Qianhe roared furiously, his eyes blazing with rage. Losing his temper, he charged forward with his peach wood sword in hand.

"Master, please don't go!"

"master!!"

The four men, Dongnan, Xibei, and Beibei, paled and hurriedly chased after them, trying to pull their master back. Unfortunately, they were no match for Daoist Qianhe's speed.

In just a moment, Master Qianhe had already rushed dozens of meters away.

Enraged, Daoist Qianhe bit his fingertip and instantly forced out three drops of his essence blood, which he then smeared onto the peach wood sword in his hand.

The Thunder God of Heaven, His might shines upon the universe.

With the divine dragon's protection, mountains crumbled and collapsed.

Evil gods and demons, how dare they provoke Zhang Lin….…

As incantations and spells erupted, a massive amount of lightning power surged onto the peach wood sword!

"Oh? The Opening Heaven Spell! Interesting. As expected of a disciple of Maoshan Hexing, you can even use such a top-grade Earth-rank Daoist technique!"

Upon seeing this, the old Taoist priest opposite him gave a sinister smile.

"Thunder struck, shattering their forms; ghosts and monsters vanished, and humanity was at peace."

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

However, the peach wood sword, imbued with immense lightning power, slammed down towards the old Taoist's shoulder amidst Master Qianhe's furious roar: "Die!!!"

Amidst Master Qianhe's furious roar, the longsword slammed into the old Taoist's shoulder.

“Boom, boom!!!!”

A deafening roar echoed across the entire land.

The thunder of the Kaiqian Mantra exploded with a deafening roar.

A terrifying tide of lightning swept out in all directions.

The closest Taoist priests, Master Qianhe and the old Taoist, were instantly enveloped in lightning.

Meanwhile, the four directions that had just run over were blasted away by the repulsive force of the lightning when they were still more than ten meters away.

"Puff puff puff!!"

The four people coughed up blood and flew backward.

Fortunately, due to the distance, the four were only seriously injured but did not die.

"master!!"

Having just crashed to the ground, all four of them struggled to their feet and looked toward the raging center of the collision.

However, the lightning gradually dissipated the next moment.

Master Qianhe, whose body was charred black by lightning, stared intently ahead.

Unfortunately, in front of him, the old man stood unharmed.

"The power is sufficient. If it were an ordinary geomancer at the seventh or eighth level, they might be seriously injured. What a pity!"

The old Taoist priest shook his head helplessly as he looked at the charred and resentful Master Qianhe.

"You...you old scoundrel!!!"

Master Qianhe could only curse angrily before his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground.

This is the disadvantage of cultivators without a lightning spirit body using lightning-based techniques.

If one is not careful, or if one forces things, one will be hurt by one's own thunder.

Unfortunately, even knowing this, many cultivators still choose to use it.

Only Taoist techniques imbued with attributes become truly powerful.

"What a wonderful physical body! By absorbing your essence, along with your junior brother's, I might be able to break through that barrier and reach the Celestial Master realm that I've always dreamed of!"

The old Taoist smiled slightly, and after speaking, he slowly extended his withered right hand toward Master Qianhe.

"You despicable bastard, you dare to touch our master! We will never let you get away with this!"

Meanwhile, people from the east, west, south, and north struggled to crawl towards this direction, all glaring angrily at the old Taoist priest!

Those who were struck by lightning suffered severe damage to their neurons; they wouldn't recover without several months of rest.

"Hehehe, I can't bear to kill your master. I'm going to drain all his life essence. As for you! You can die now!"

Upon hearing the words "east, west, south, north," the old Taoist priest sneered and then reached out with his five fingers to grab at the air.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, four blood needles condensed at his fingertips.

"Puff puff puff!!!"

Suddenly, with four whooshing sounds, four blood needles shot towards the four people, tearing through the void.

"Pfft!! Pfft!! Pfft!! Pfft!!!"

In an instant, the hearts of the four people were pierced through!

At this moment, the four brothers looked at Master Qianhe lying on the ground with resentment, and finally they all fell to the ground, their life force gradually fading away.

"Hehehe, you overconfident little brat!!"

The old Taoist gave a sinister smile, but the next moment his smile suddenly froze.

"Om!!"

"Om!!"

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, streams of green energy burst forth from the earth, instantly flowing into the bodies of the four cardinal directions.

Their broken hearts began to heal at an extremely rapid pace.

"Wood spirit power? How could there be wood spirit power here!?"

The old Taoist priest's face darkened.

He quickly looked toward the place where Ling Yanyan was fighting the zombies not far away.

"brush!!!"

However, a black dot flew rapidly toward him.

Upon closer inspection, he was shocked to see a zombie prince dressed in a python robe, his body crackling with lightning!

The opponent's speed was so fast that the old Taoist priest couldn't dodge at all, after all, his physical strength was already much weaker due to his dwindling vitality.

"Grass!!!"

"boom!!"

"Click!!!"

In the end, he could only let out a curse as the zombie king slammed into his waist, and the next moment, both of them flew backward.

During the flight, it was clear that the old Taoist priest's entire body was folded in half due to the impact.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”

Finally, with a loud bang, both the old Taoist priest and the zombie crashed into the mountainside hundreds of meters away, creating a crater tens of meters in diameter before stopping their backward flight.

“Buzz!!!!”

Meanwhile, with a flash of flame, Ling Yanyan's figure instantly appeared beside Daoist Qianhe.

"How come this zombie is so tough?!"

Ling Yanyan glanced at his scraped right hand and was speechless.

— He punched his opponent, sending him flying, but even injured his own hand in the process.

As expected, my physical strength is still somewhat weak!

If anyone heard him say that, they would be furious. A sixth-level Earth Master who sent a peak zombie flying with a single punch, and he still said that his physical strength was weak!

It's just like Versailles.

"Huh? Isn't this Senior Brother Qianhe? Good heavens, did he electrocute himself into carbon?"

However, Ling Yanyan was startled when he glanced at Daoist Qianhe at his feet.

That's terrible, absolutely terrible!!

Of course, although it was a miserable situation, there was no danger to his life, because if there were any danger to his life, the wood spirit power that Ling Yanyan had left behind beforehand would directly enter his body to repair his injuries.

Thinking of this, he once again channeled a stream of wood elemental power directly into Daoist Qianhe's body. "Buzz!!!"

In an instant, the immense power of the wood spirit began to frantically repair Daoist Qianhe's injuries.

"boom!!!!"

However, at that very moment, a loud bang came from not far away.

"Roar!!!"

Then, a zombie's roar came simultaneously.

Ling Yanyan immediately looked over.

But then they saw that the Zombie King was already fighting with the old Taoist priest from the Corpse Bone Sect.

"Damn it, how could my corpse control technique be useless!"

However, Ling Yanyan soon heard the old Taoist priest roar.

"Hmph, it's just a top-grade Earth-rank corpse-controlling rune that hasn't even reached its limit yet. You think it can compare to my Heaven-rank corpse-controlling rune? Dream on! You'd better take a beating!"
