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

When a person first invites a deity, they can invite up to eighteen different deities.

Of course, most people are already very lucky to have three or four divine guides.

Only those with exceptional talent will receive guidance from more patriarchs.

Of course, those with great merit can receive guidance from many ancestral masters on their first attempt, but generally, cultivators who invite gods for the first time only reach the first level of Earth Master and do not accumulate much merit.

As for Ling Yanyan, he's only eighteen years old. Even if he's powerful, he doesn't have time to accumulate much merit.

“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”

Suddenly, terrifying waves of yin energy erupted from those passages.

In an instant.

A phantom image of the patriarch slowly materialized in the lowest passage.

However, upon seeing this patriarch, Master Four Eyes' pupils instantly contracted violently.

"Holy crap, it's the Huayang Ancestor!"

Master Four Eyes screamed in horror.

Huayang Laozu was the founder of the Maoshan School.

He was the one who founded Maoshan back then.

However, what terrified Master Simu was that Patriarch Huayang was only the lowest level among all the patriarchs who guided people.

In other words, Huayang Patriarch was the weakest and lowest-ranking of all the patriarchs that Ling Yanyan had invited.

This startled Master Si Mu, causing his legs to buckle and him to fall to the ground. Just how terrifying must those patriarchs have become?

“Buzz!!!!”

The next moment, the illusory image of the second-to-last ancestor also materialized, this was an ancestor whose whole body was burning with raging flames.

Then, one after another, the Taoist patriarchs slowly materialized.

Because the most powerful and oldest among the Maoshan sect members is Patriarch Huayang.

The person who is taller than him is naturally not the founder of Maoshan.

However, they can all be referred to as the founders of Taoism.

Some of these patriarchs possessed immense vitality, clearly indicating that they had achieved profound physical cultivation during their lifetimes.

Some have comprehended various spiritual entities.

There are all kinds of spirits, including wind spirits, water spirits, thunder spirits, and so on.

However, when all the fifth patriarchs appeared, Ling Yan Yan raised an eyebrow.

This is because the ancestor's entire body exudes five kinds of spiritual power from the five elements, and even the aura of the cultivation technique is very familiar to him.

"Could he be the founding patriarch of the ancient Five Spirits Sect, the Five Spirits Dao Lord?"

Ling Yanyan raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. The other party had been dead for countless millennia. In life, he was a Dao Lord, and after death, he was likely to become a Ghost Immortal in the Underworld. Yet, he was still only ranked fifth.

"Wow, the uses of this golden light of merit are truly remarkable!"

Ling Yanyan couldn't help but sigh.

After all, being able to summon a ghost immortal means that as long as Ling Yan Yan can afford enough ghost money and his own body can withstand such powerful force, he can instantly gain the strength of an immortal.

Of course, that's impossible.

Even with the powerful defense of the Golden Spirit Body, Ling Yan Yan could only withstand the infusion of power at the Celestial Master level at most.

Finally, apart from the phantom of the patriarch at the highest point, the phantoms of the remaining three patriarchs slowly appeared.

Of course, they didn't know each other, but since he was higher than the Five Spirits Dao Lord, his realm must have far surpassed the other party's.

Finally, we've reached the last one!

Both Master Simu and Ling Yanyan were somewhat looking forward to it.

“Buzz!!!!”

Suddenly, a mysterious black energy burst forth from behind the passage.

The next moment, black energy slowly condensed into a tall and slender figure.

The moment the figure appeared, Master Four Eyes gaped open and froze on the spot.

Even Ling Yan Yan was surprised by the being summoned this time.

The phantom was dressed in a long robe, its skin was completely black, and it wore a tall hat. In its left hand it held a mourning staff and in its right hand it held a soul-snatching chain. Its tongue was as long as its waist!

"Black Impermanence! I never expected it to be him!!!"

Ling Yan Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

That's right, this is none other than the Underworld Marshal, Black Impermanence!

Black and White Impermanence, as the underworld commanders, held a much higher status than they are often depicted in later films and television dramas.

The Yin Marshal is an existence that surpasses the Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals of the Underworld.

The ghost soldiers are further divided into ten ranks.

Only those above the rank of First-Class Yin Soldier can become Yin Generals.

The Huayang Patriarch of Maoshan has been dead for over two thousand years. Only with the merits and offerings of all Maoshan disciples could he barely reach the sixth rank of Yin Mechanism.

Above that, there are five more levels to reach the Yin General rank.

The Yin General was a being completely superior to them, yet, this being had now been summoned by Ling Yan Yan using a divine summoning technique!

You should know that the kind of underworld officials that Uncle Nine and his ilk wanted to become were the lowest-ranking tenth-level underworld soldiers, and even then, the requirements were still quite high.

Theoretically speaking, it's extremely difficult for even a ghost general, let alone a ghost soldier, to catch a glimpse of a ghost commander.

"Boom!!!"

However, with the appearance of Black Impermanence, the energy consumption increased a thousandfold in an instant, and the yin and yang power brought by those ghost money was instantly exhausted.

The summoned patriarchs also vanished rapidly.

However, Ling Yanyan was puzzled to discover that before disappearing, Hei Wuchang actually glanced at him.

However, Ling Yan Yan seemed to see a look of horror in the other person's eyes.

"Uh, I must have seen it wrong! It's just an illusion, it doesn't have the consciousness of the real person at all!"

"I never imagined I could summon Black Impermanence so soon. If I accumulated even more merit, wouldn't I be able to summon even the Ten Kings of Hell?"

Ling Yanyan felt a surge of anticipation upon thinking about this.

He then looked at the Four-Eyed Taoist priest beside him.

They found the other person still standing there, stunned.

"Senior brother, you're awake!"

Ling Yan Yan was speechless and kicked the terrified Four-Eyes Taoist priest who was sitting on the ground.

"what!!!!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the Four-Eyed Taoist, startling Ling Yan Yan.

"Hey, senior brother, are you crazy?!"

Ling Yanyan was speechless.

"Black Impermanence, I've seen Lord Black Impermanence! I've seen Lord Black Impermanence!"

However, Master Four Eyes started shouting and yelling like a madman.

The sound immediately drew Master Ikkyu, Qingqing, and Jiale out.

"Master, Master, what's wrong?"

Jiale was startled when he saw his master's crazy appearance.

"Lost his mind? What? He saw Black Impermanence? This Four-Eyed Taoist priest must be mentally unstable?"

Master Ikkyu was puzzled by the shouts of Master Simu.

As for seeing Black Impermanence, how could that be possible!

"What? Lost your mind? Master, you can't go crazy! What will I do if you go crazy?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Le's face immediately turned pale with fright.

“Bang!!!”

However, at that moment, Ling Yanyan struck out with one hand, directly slashing at the neck of the Four-Eyed Taoist Priest, shouting, "Black Impermanence!!"

Master Four Eyes rolled his eyes and immediately fainted.

"Jiale, take your master to sleep! He'll be fine after a nap!"

Ling Yanyan waved his hand.

His words immediately made Jia Le's eyes light up.

"That's great! Master is alright. Thank you so much, Uncle-Master!!"

Jiale excitedly picked up the lifeless-looking Taoist priest and headed towards the house.

"Amitabha Buddha, Daoist Ling Yanyan, please get some rest!"

Master Ikkyu smiled and chanted a Buddhist prayer after seeing that everything was alright. He then took Qingqing back to the bamboo house.

"Go to sleep! Go to sleep!!"

Ling Yanyan also yawned.

As for the ritual of summoning spirits, it's actually over.

The first time you invite a deity, you see the ancestral masters accepting incense offerings. After they accept them, you just need to find a time to sculpt a clay figure and then continue with normal worship.

Of course, Ling Yanyan had no intention of molding clay.

Whether or not there is a clay sculpture, one can still summon the ancestral master.

The purpose of clay sculptures is to infuse them with spiritual energy every day, which saves a lot of ghost money when summoning.

This process is extremely lengthy.

Offering sacrifices for a year can save you a few dozen dollars in ghost money.

For Ling Yanyan, there's absolutely no need; he can just spend money to buy ghost money when the time comes.

If you don't want money, then throw spirit stones at it!

Anyway, Ling Yanyan has plenty of money and spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Ling Yanyan went straight back to his room and fell asleep.

However, after Ling Yanyan fell asleep, a major incident occurred in the Underworld.

The underworld, the celestial realm!

The Department of Crossing the Underworld is the department that receives ghosts from both the Yin and Yang realms. It can also be said to be the department with the largest number of underworld officials in the entire underworld.

After all, millions of people die every day around the world.

All of these people were guided by the people of the Underworld.

The ruler of the Underworld is the judge of the Underworld.

Below him are the Civil Judge and the Martial Judge of the Underworld.

Below that are the various Yin Generals.

Among them, Black and White Impermanence are the two highest-ranking, most senior, and most powerful Yin Marshals.

However, today, Black Impermanence knelt respectfully in the Hall of Judges of the Underworld!

Black Impermanence is a ghost immortal with extremely powerful strength; his ghostly body is ten thousand feet tall.

However, the center of this temple appeared exceptionally small.

"Black Impermanence, are you sure the person you saw possesses innate merit?"

On a colossal throne directly in front of Hei Wuchang, which blots out the sky, a deity's image gazes solemnly at Hei Wuchang.

When he spoke of innate merits, a hint of horror appeared in his eyes.

As we all know, anything in the world, even an ordinary stone, will receive the merits bestowed by the Great Dao if it does good deeds.

All of these merits are acquired merits.

There is another kind of merit, which is innate merit.

This kind of merit is only possessed by the primordial deities who existed at the beginning of time.

However, now Black Impermanence actually claims to have seen someone with innate merit in the mortal world, which is enough to horrify the judge of the underworld.

If anyone else had said this, the judge of the underworld would never have believed it. However, the person before him was none other than Black Impermanence!

"Yes, Your Honor. As one of the first Yin Gods in this Underworld, I was fortunate enough to witness the innate power of merit emanating from that person."

You definitely didn't see it wrong!

Black Impermanence spoke in a chilling tone.

Of course, his cold tone was due to his cultivation techniques and the Yin energy within his body.
