The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World-Chapter 337: Old Foxes
Mystic Azure Star.
As usual, Chu Xuan wandered inside the gates of his sect. Wherever he passed, disciples bowed respectfully, not daring to show the slightest neglect.
It seemed that the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect had gained the upper hand. Cultivators from the Blood River Star and other cultivation planets often came for trade. Currently, cultivators from Blood River Star and the Celestial Devil Star had arrived one after the other, arriving on large flying ships and bringing abundant goods.
There were various kinds of blank talisman paper that Mystic Azure Star lacked, as well as rare spiritual plant seeds. These attracted many disciples from the Heavenly Infinite Sect to purchase them. The Heavenly Infinite Sect was in a period of thriving vitality. However, Chu Xuan did not personally go. He merely glanced from a distance, then lost interest.

The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Blood River Star was already met by the disciples of the Heavenly Blood Alliance stationed on the Mystic Azure Star. The cultivators from the Celestial Devil Star were greeted by Nascent Soul cultivators such as Shi Juntian. As the Sect Master, Chu Xuan had no need to appear for such trivial matters. As for the intelligence he needed, it was delivered to him personally.
...
By the side of the Flying Fish Lake.
Chu Xuan personally threw in over a thousand fish fry.
These fish, known as Listening Fish, had the unique ability to record all sounds within their surroundings through the air sacs inside their bodies. They were perfect for surveillance.
At that moment, Yuan Zichu hurried over.
He presented a jade slip infused with a spiritual sense. "Sect Master, I have compiled the intelligence gathered recently from the cultivators of Blood River Star and Celestial Devil Star. Please examine it."
Chu Xuan nodded and, with a wave of his hand, drew the jade slip to him and pressed it to his forehead.
Recently, Yuan Zichu had been delivering intelligence to him often. This cautious and attentive Golden Core cultivator understood his needs well.
Chu Xuan swept through the jade slip with his spiritual sense and quickly finished reviewing the intelligence. He couldn't help but lightly tap the table.
Just as he had suspected. After years of conflict, the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect had firmly taken control of the upper hand.
The Celestial Sound Star and the Dawn Star, once controlled by the Reincarnation Divine Sect, had both fallen under the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect's sway.
The cultivators of Blood River Star and Celestial Devil Star had contributed the most during these two battles, which was why they had gained many treasures to offer in return.
As for the specifics of the battles in the extraterritorial battlefields, those were beyond Yuan Zichu's ability to investigate.
However, there were rumors that the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect had seized a Despairing-level extraterritorial battlefield controlled by the Reincarnation Divine Sect and was now advancing on other extraterritorial battlefields.
It was said that even the Reincarnation Divine Sect's supreme extraterritorial battlefields had been infiltrated by the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect.
The supreme extraterritorial battlefields were more dangerous than the deadly ones and could only be entered by cultivators of the late Deity Transformation stage. Whether this rumor was true or not remained uncertain.
However, what was clear now was that extraterritorial battlefields were perilous. Anyone who wanted to survive would do well to avoid taking risks there.

Chu Xuan, now at the seventh level of Nascent Soul, was in the late stages of Nascent Soul. Logically, he should be preparing for Deity Transformation, gathering spiritual treasures to prepare for the breakthrough into the Deity Transformation stage.
However, given the situation between the sects and their escalating hostilities, the extraterritorial battlefields were definitely off-limits. It would be better to stay in Mystic Azure Star and bide his time. Once the situation reached a definite conclusion, it would not be too late to make a move.
"However, does the Reincarnation Divine Sect really have no backup at all now? That's hard to believe. It's not the style of a sixth-tier cultivation sect."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.
At that moment, a figure appeared in the distance, quickly approaching. It was Zheng Ji, the leader of the Corpse Valley.
Chu Xuan waved his hand.
Yuan Zichu, understanding the signal, immediately bowed and left.
Zheng Ji landed and respectfully said, "Greetings, Sect Master."
Chu Xuan smiled. "Elder Zheng, you've been in Corpse Valley for the longest time. Why have you come to see me today?"
Zheng Ji was serious as he replied, "The Sect Master must be aware that the Sect is recruiting Nascent Soul cultivators for the war, correct?"
Chu Xuan nodded. "Of course, I am aware."
War required manpower. The Heaven Shaking Divine Sect had already called upon Nascent Soul cultivators from the lower-tier five-level cultivation sects three times in a row.
However, none of these summons were mandatory. Any Nascent Soul cultivator who responded would be rewarded with various gifts.
Wealth always stirred hearts, and generous rewards could bring forth brave souls. Naturally, some cultivators were willing to risk their lives. Even if it wasn't for themselves, they did it for their descendants.
However, no Nascent Soul cultivator from the Heavenly Infinite Sect had responded in the first two calls. So why was Zheng Ji willing to go this time?
Chu Xuan asked, "Elder Zheng, you didn't go the first two times. Why are you willing to go this time?"
Zheng Ji smiled lightly. "The Sect is now firmly in control. Such an opportunity is rare. I have not much lifespan left. Even if it's not for Deity Transformation treasures, I must still risk my life for longevity-boosting treasures. I didn't go the first two times because I wanted to preserve myself. But this time, it's an opportunity to gain some contributions, so I'm going along for the ride."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly. It seemed that Zheng Ji, like many others, had realized that the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect was on the winning side. Perhaps, in his view, it was time to fight on the winning team and get some rewards along the way.
Chu Xuan gave a slight nod. "Go ahead, I approve."
Zheng Ji bowed. "Thank you, Sect Master."
He then turned and left.
Chu Xuan watched his retreating figure but didn't speak further. He had always felt that the war between the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect and the Reincarnation Divine Sect wouldn't end so easily. The Reincarnation Divine Sect would likely make a strong counterattack.
Would they lure the enemy in and trap them? Or would they strike where the enemy least expected, directly attacking the weak points? Perhaps they might even seek allies or try to have the Sect intervene?
These were all possibilities that the Reincarnation Divine Sect could pursue.
Chu Xuan remained calm. It wasn't yet the time to strike. Patience was required for now.
When the time came to take advantage of the situation and strike while the iron was hot, he certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
After all, once the Reincarnation Divine Sect fell, their vast collection of cultivation methods, secret techniques, and rare treasures would be lost to the world. It was in his best interest to act decisively, ensuring that their legacies and treasures didn't fall into the hands of others.
A year later, Zheng Ji returned. He was beaming with joy, his face glowing with satisfaction. Clearly, he had gained much during the war. Besides the rewards from the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, he had also reaped the benefits of killing enemies and seizing treasures in battle.
As soon as Zheng Ji arrived, Shi Juntian, Wei Ji, Liu Ruoshui, Wan Hun, and several newly arrived Nascent Soul cultivators all gathered around him, eager to hear about his spoils from the war.
Zheng Ji described his experiences with great enthusiasm, making everyone's hearts stir with excitement. It was indeed the time to fight on the winning side!
Zheng Ji laughed heartily. "The Reincarnation Divine Sect is already a candle in the wind! Coincidentally, the Sect has issued a fourth wave of recruitment. Fellow Daoists, don't miss this opportunity!"
Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen, who were listening from a distance, exchanged a glance.
Shang Xingchen asked, "Sect Master, are you going?"
Chu Xuan replied, "I'm not going."
Shang Xingchen pressed further, "Why not?"
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "This vast Heavenly Infinite Sect, with hundreds of thousands of disciples waiting to be fed, how could I, as the Sect Master, abandon them?"
Shang Xingchen was speechless. Who is in charge of the Heavenly Infinite Sect? Don't you know in your own heart?
Chu Xuan glanced at him, "What about you? Are you going?"
Shang Xingchen shook his head, "I'm not going. My strength is insufficient. I'd rather not embarrass myself."
The two exchanged a smile and fell silent, the matter no longer needing further discussion.
