Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 185 - 45: Celestial Soldiers and Generals of the Undead Legion, Celestial Emperor, World-Mixing Demon Ape

Chapter 185: Chapter 45: Celestial Soldiers and Generals of the Undead Legion, Celestial Emperor, World-Mixing Demon Ape

"It’s actually her!?"

Seeing this soul, Zhou Chen was somewhat surprised.

"It seems Zhang Long has probably fallen victim to the Flower Thief’s hands as well!"

Zhou Chen sighed inwardly.

Although he didn’t have any deep feelings for Zhang Long, they did know each other for a while.

In fact, upon hearing about the County Magistrate’s plight, Zhou Chen had already anticipated that Zhang Long might not escape unscathed.

Indeed.

Hongxiu’s soul appeared in his Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.

Hongxiu was the head maid in Zhang Long’s residence. Zhang Long once invited Zhou Chen to his home, and it was Hongxiu who entertained him.

Sister-in-law, don’t turn back; I am Brother Long!

In Zhou Chen’s mind, the fragrance of Hongxiu’s presence surged, and a murderous intent flared up within him.

"Brother Long, go in peace; I will avenge you!"

Zhou Chen suppressed his murderous intent and approached Hongxiu’s soul in the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror. Like the others who entered, Hongxiu remained in slumber.

With the addition of Hongxiu, Zhou Chen’s Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror now held six people, enough to form a special task force.

As Zhou Chen’s cultivation improved, his control over the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror gradually increased.

Zhou Chen could now modify the rules for souls entering the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.

But Zhou Chen had not, because the default rules of the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror were already optimal.

These souls, once bestowed with divine enthronement by Zhou Chen, became authentic divine cultivators, regarded as undying and eternally loyal death warriors.

Their dual cultivation with Zhou Chen’s soul body in the Wind and Moon Mirror to provide Wind and Moon Points was just one trivial function.

Their true purpose was to sweep away foes for Zhou Chen and suppress the Undead Legion above and below heaven.

Just like the Celestial Soldiers and Generals on the Investiture of the Gods.

But they surpassed the Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

Their potential was stronger, and their loyalty to Zhou Chen was unbreakable.

However, in number, they could not match the Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

After all, women connected to Zhou Chen and with enough favorability were rare, greatly limiting their numbers.

But an army’s excellence lies in quality, not quantity.

Once their strength increased, they might one day equal ten thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals each.

In the future, should Zhou Chen establish power and a Celestial Court, becoming a Celestial Emperor, they would be his most capable subordinates.

And Zhou Chen needed to sacrifice hardly anything; granting them divine enthronement required no resources, allowing them to cultivate on their own.

An ideal trade, unmatched throughout the world.

Their former lives were irrelevant to Zhou Chen; if he disliked them, he treated them merely as beautiful death warriors.

Not everyone joining him required dual cultivation with Zhou Chen.

In Zhou Chen’s eyes, their undying Celestial Soldier trait surpassed their beauty.

Moreover, posthumously bestowed divine enthronement gave them lasting life, akin to being reborn into a new existence.

For souls entering the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror, Zhou Chen hoped for more; this was how his Undead Legion would rapidly grow strong.

This was his true foundation, invaluable in worth.

This passive growth was rather slow, leading Zhou Chen to consider actively recruiting for the Undead Legion.

Temporarily shelving these thoughts, Zhou Chen turned to the Wind and Moon Atlas.

The Wind and Moon Atlas, similar to the Investiture of the Gods, was condensed by the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror, a part or sub-artifact of it.

"Hongxiu, hear the decree."

With divine authority, Zhou Chen bestowed divine enthronement upon Hongxiu, using her name out of convenience.

Just a title!

Upon his words, the Wind and Moon Atlas shone with golden light.

A beam of golden light enveloped Hongxiu, her ethereal soul rapidly solidifying, her aura surging, leaping to the second layer of Qi Refining.

Yet, she remained the weakest in Zhou Chen’s Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.

After all, Hongxiu had originally been an ordinary person.

"Hmm..."

Hongxiu slowly opened her eyes, feeling the newfound power coursing through her, a joy beyond words, though a glimmer of confusion and fear remained in her eyes.

Wasn’t she killed by the Flower Thief?

"Young Master Zhou?"

Seeing Zhou Chen suddenly, Hongzhu was both surprised and elated.

She had always admired Zhou Chen, not just for his looks and skills, but for treating her as a person rather than looking down on her.

Though she was Zhang Long’s head maid, in his eyes she was no different from objects, otherwise, he would not use her to entertain Zhou Chen.

"Hongxiu, after you died, your soul came to this special artifact space. What happened?"

Zhou Chen asked.

"Young Master, a vicious Flower Thief appeared in Qinghe County, not only defiling and murdering maidens but also exterminating families, turning Qinghe County into his playground..."

As Hongxiu recounted, Zhou Chen understood the recent events in Qinghe County. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Flower Thief initially targeted ordinary families’ maidens, then moved to the daughters of wealthy families.

The County Magistrate, furious, demanded a thorough investigation to capture the Flower Thief.

Yet, not long after issuing this order, the County Magistrate’s daughter fell victim to the Flower Thief, and the entire family was brutally murdered.

Zhang Long, suspecting the Flower Thief might target him, gathered his men and Qinghe County’s other experts to tightly guard against him.

Unexpectedly, they still met their downfall.

Because the Flower Thief excelled in the Transformation Technique, making defense nearly impossible.

"Hongxiu, stay here and cultivate in peace; I will avenge you all!"

Having understood the situation, Zhou Chen’s soul body left the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.

"Sect Leader Master, I plan to go to Qinghe County and personally bring down that Flower Thief!"

Zhou Chen looked at Qing Yuyao and said.

"Then be careful yourself!"

Qing Yuyao did not stop him; after all, Qinghe County was Zhou Chen’s homeland, and going back for such a matter was reasonable.
