Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 350 - 301: Yin Mansion Barracks, Immortal Fiend’s Warning (Part 2)

"What are those things?"

Zhang Kui casually asked.

Fusheng glanced over and replied, "Replying to the Upper Immortal, the Shadow Soldiers are managed under the Divine Path, mostly comprised of cultivators from the Celestial Essence Star's Mortal World who died in battle. Some are unwilling to enter reincarnation and lack the ability to be reborn for cultivation, but through the Soul Summoning Divine Stele, they can join the Yin Soldiers Camp."

"Oh..."

Zhang Kui nodded slightly. The Human Race Divine Path might have Dharma Guardian Generals, but it doesn't have Dharma Guardian Divine Soldiers. Certainly, he doesn't have the time to individually bestow titles, and these things could complement that.

With this thought, a flash of sword light appeared from Zhang Kui, and a giant stele was cut down from its base, swallowed whole by the Treasure Toad that jumped out.

Seeing this, Fusheng couldn't help his eyelids twitching. He wanted to tell Zhang Kui it was useless, but recalling the various ingenious methods of Zhang, he became unsure.

As Zhang Kui explored the surroundings, he kept an eye on the strange entity in the center of the ruins. When he neared it, his figure moved in a flash, and a vast aura instantly enveloped the center of the ruins.

At the camp's center stood a massive Taiji altar, although covered by layers of gray sand, the black and white colors underneath were still visible.

This thing...

Zhang Kui paused slightly. The black and white materials underground felt very familiar — they were the Taiji Ball divine materials from the core of the starship on Profound Yin Mountain.

However, this was a weakened version. If that Taiji Ball was gold, then these were like clumps of soil mixed with gold sand, with its Spiritual Qi long exhausted.

At the center of the Taiji altar stood an enormous stone sculpture somewhat similar to the Celestial Essence Star Orbit he had obtained, only larger.

A flickering figure stood below it, silently gazing at the Celestial Essence Star stone sculpture, back turned to him.

No wonder it didn't escape; it's already at the brink of dissipating...

Zhang Kui squinted slightly, rising with numerous questions in his mind. What exactly was this guy's purpose?

But he probably couldn't ask. Zhang Kui suddenly had a thought and gave a glance to the Divine Remnant Soul, Fusheng.

Fusheng shivered and drifted forward with reluctance, sighing as he bowed, "This little divine greets the Star Lord. After tens of thousands of years, does the Star Lord still remember this little divine?"

The Immortal Fiend Chang Kong finally turned slowly. Half of his abnormally deformed body twisted erratically, eyes filled with madness, while the other eye appeared calm and indifferent.

"You're still here... I suppose that's luck."

Fusheng gave a wry smile, pleasingly said, "Star Lord, amidst the ever-changing cosmos, the Immortal Dynasty is history. This little divine is unaware of your experiences, but this Zhang Sect Leader is blessed with great fate, a bearer of destiny. Why not join us under the Sect Leader's banner, perhaps..."

Zhang Kui listened silently, feeling speechless. This guy was definitely a scoundrel, with words that didn't sit right.

"Heh heh..."

Chang Kong sneered coldly, "The Great Path is chaotic; born in this era and this Celestial Essence Star, what fate is there really? It's just a bunch of withered bones in a tomb. In a few years, it will all be nothing."

A few years later...

Zhang Kui asked solemnly, "What do you mean? Fusheng said you were once a kind person. Why are you driving these anomalies to disturb me from cleansing the Underworld?"

"Cleansing the Underworld, hahaha..."

Chang Kong's form flickered increasingly erratic as even his calm eyes took on a bit of madness, "What are these anomalies? The Celestial Essence Star is already someone else's spoil. Of course, I have to act; even if it means returning the Celestial Essence Star to darkness, I don't want it to benefit them!"

"Nonsense!"

Zhang Kui's eyes widened, "Are you talking about those Starry Sky Evil Gods? So what, when facing calamity, are we to close our eyes and await death? Even if we can't win, we must at least take a few down with us."

At this point, Zhang Kui's eyes gleamed with the light of killing intent, "Who do you think you are, what rights do you have to make decisions for the Myriad beings on this Celestial Essence Star?"

Next to him, Fusheng shrunk his neck,

Thinking, well, one is more aggressive than the other.

Unexpectedly, as Chang Kong's grievances dissipated, he gradually calmed down, staring at Zhang Kui full of pity and mockery.

"A frog in a well, ignorant to the world beyond. I will soon disappear into the world, requiring no effort from you. Just go. Let me advise you: all grand causes are false; live for the moment while there are still a few years left..."

"Too much nonsense!"

Seeing his form already becoming indistinct, Zhang Kui impatiently asked, "What great calamity are you talking about? If we don't risk something, how will we know if it can't be solved?"

Chang Kong remained silent, staring at him intently, suddenly saying, "Reincarnation!"

After speaking, his form completely vanished, leaving not a trace.

Reincarnation?

Zhang Kui's heart jolted.

...

"The Divine Dynasty shall persist!"

At the summit position on the mountain peak of Mine City, countless cultivators were frantically cheering, each lost in wild joy.

When they saw the Black Tide that swallowed the heavens and earth, almost everyone was prepared to die, many even utterly hopeless.

But no one expected that they could withstand such a terrifying Black Tide with minimal casualties.

Though the main strength was the Tai Shi, the Starship, Dharma Guardian Generals, and dozens of Celestial Pavilion Great Demons, through this battle, the Divine Dynasty finally trained a mighty force.

On the plains, though most had turned to ash, corpses of Underworld anomalies still littered the vast expanses.

Five starships still roamed, sweeping clean scattered batches of anomalies to eliminate future troubles entirely.

"Good!"

The news reached Divine Island City, Zhu Sheng rejoiced, then stood by the underworld map with the arriving Elder Huayan, Helian Boxiong, and others.

"The Sect Leader has sent a message..."

Helian Boxiong couldn't hide the joy on his face, gesturing in the air, with blood-red Spirit Light drawing trajectories on the map, matching the Divine Continent's map corresponding to the Underworld and Mortal World.

"This Black Tide gathered anomalies from various states, including Anqing State where Divine Island City is located, Lai State where Divine Radiance City is, Bozhou, Jiangzhou where the Yin Soldier Camp is, and Shazhou Lanzhou. These areas now only have remnants of Underworld anomalies."

"That's excellent!"

Zhu Sheng's eyes were filled with excitement, "As long as we open passages everywhere, establish forts to suppress with the Divine Fire Soul Suppressing Tower, clearing the Underworld Eastern Continent in one place will be within reach."

Elder Huayan stroked his beard and smiled, "No rush, now we only need to consolidate the defenses, once those remaining starships finish refining, the time will come to attack."

Taoist Puyang also wore a face full of smile, "Through this battle, those squad captains are likely each going to break through, a grand celebration is a must. By the way, where did the Sect Leader go?"

Helian Boxiong shook his head slightly, "The Sect Leader has important matters and asked us to act independently, even the Divine Path network has lost contact."

"Can't reach Tai Shi either?"

The group exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with a hint of worry.

...

Darkness, endless darkness.

Zhang Kui sat in the stone coffin of Nether Soil, diving into the Underworld underground.

Different from the Mortal World, the underground of the Underworld was so monotonous as to be maddening, only an endless darkness rushing toward him, seemingly never reaching an end. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Mortal World and Underworld, both are reflections of each other, even the stars appear similar.

Zhang Kui had long known the secret of reincarnation, which was the Spirit Charm of the planet, guaranteeing the vitality of all things, and removing anomalies was to protect reincarnation.

Upon seeing the gathering of Silver Souls and listening to the earth's vibrations last time, he had intended to explore and witness the so-called reincarnation, but matters were always pressing, leaving no time.

This time, the words of the Immortal Fiend Chang Kong about an issue with reincarnation gave him a bad premonition, prompting him to abandon everything and investigate.

An hour...

Two hours...

Unknown how much time passed, amid the dark monotony, he unexpectedly felt a drowsy sensation arising out of nowhere.

This isn't right!

Zhang Kui suddenly awoke with a shock. The Nether Soil stone coffin immediately halted, looking around with unease — there was nothing, as if suspended in the Dark Void.

Something was wrong in the Underworld underground, he almost succumbed to an eternal slumber.

His eyes slightly moved, taking out the Three-headed Six-armed Divine Statue, about to summon Fusheng, but suddenly remembered that this Nether Soil stone coffin had a peculiarity; any Divine Spirit entering it would be immediately lifelessly drowsy.

With no choice, Zhang Kui had to return, taking three hours to reach the surface again.

Enveloped in yellow smoke, Fusheng emerged, and Zhang Kui immediately asked, "Has anyone ever been to Reincarnation?"

"Ah..."

Fusheng was dumbstruck, waving his hands anxiously, "Upper Immortal, please don't do anything foolish. Reincarnation is a cardinal secret of heaven and earth, even within the Immortal Dynasty, very few know about it."

"Let alone us divine spirits; it's said that an Immortal once tried to go down and was trapped, never returning."

"Then what should we do? Didn't you hear Chang Kong say there's a problem with reincarnation?"

"Well... maybe the Sect Leader could find a way to escape to the Moon Palace?"

"Nonsense, when faced with calamity, even the Moon Palace might..."

Just then, a rumbling vibration came from underground, accompanied by a mournful, desolate sound. A galaxy formed of Yin Souls emerged from afar, gradually sinking underground.

Zhang Kui laughed heartily, "Just was worrying about not having someone to lead the way!"

Saying this, a puff of black smoke vanished, leaving only the desolate land under the howling Yin wind…
