Chapter 11: Purple Qi and Zombie
If that is the case, then Zhou Tong, as a strategist, need not worry about the future of Huaxia. With two great emperors considering the fate of the Huaxia Ethnicity, those who have yet to reach the level of kings do not need to ponder so much.
What they should focus on is the unique opportunity to compete with the Ancient Celebrity.
The reason the Ancient Celebrity is renowned is not only due to their intelligence but also because there are too few wise individuals among the Ancients; when one appears, they easily gain fame.
In modern times, many people's intellect could rival that of the Ancient Celebrity, yet they have no chance of becoming famous at all.
However, if the Land of Huaxia truly falls into a state of fragmentation, reminiscent of the Warring States period, it would be different.
Although modern people have absorbed thousands of years of wisdom from both ancient and contemporary sources, the Ancient Celebrity has also accumulated knowledge over decades or even centuries.
If Zhou Tong and others are correct in their assumptions, modern individuals and ancient ones would be nearly on equal footing.
Moreover, warfare today differs significantly from that of ancient times. In ancient battles, two main factors were crucial: troop strength and military strategy. However, in contemporary times, not only are there human beings and the Demon Clan, but countless high-tech items also exist.
If Huaxia were divided into numerous nations and civil strife ensued, the types of Warfare Weapons needed for inter-nation conflicts would be vast and varied, allowing military strategies to evolve in countless ways. This would present an excellent opportunity for a strategist to showcase their personal abilities.
Achieving fame in this era would mean true recognition; even future generations would not dare to question the significance and weight of such renown.
In this relatively equal contest, a chance to leave a lasting legacy—how could someone like Jiang Ao let it slip by? Thus, he would undoubtedly emerge from seclusion.
Furthermore, given that ancient society favored males over females and there were very few female strategists, Murong Ying would certainly seize this opportunity to compete with men now.
If this is indeed the case, Lian Yun should be leaving Fengdu with them at this moment to quickly establish a power base and even a military force, perhaps even seeking assistance from the Lin Family.
However, times have changed since ancient times. In the past, as long as an individual had righteousness, status, and remarkable personal charisma, they would be supported and revered as a monarch.
But now, we live in an era where strength is paramount. Without power, how can one command respect? Therefore, Zhou Tong showed no intention of retaining Lian Yun and instead led the team to find Jiang Ao.
...
In the South Side of Fengdu, a territory belonging to the Demon Clan, especially after the Evil Spirit Tide, anyone who could still be found in the southern part of Fengdu was either a Peerless Expert or a slave of the Demon Clan.
Thus, when Lian Yun stepped into the southern part of Fengdu, he could lower his guard significantly.
This was because whether he encountered humans or spirits, he could strike first without hesitation.
There were two reasons for this. First, if he met ordinary people with little strength, their survival through the Evil Spirit Tide and Evil Tide in the Southern District indicated that they possessed considerable power.
They might not be much weaker than Lian Yun and could even surpass him. Therefore, if they encountered Lian Yun, they would naturally not hold back and would likely engage him in battle first.
The second reason was that those enslaved by the Demon Clan posed a threat to humanity. Such individuals must be eradicated to prevent future troubles.
With this mindset, although he had entered the territory of the Demon Clan, Lian Yun felt much more at ease without needing to engage in elaborate schemes.
However, Lian Yun's position in the Southern District was close to the inner part of Fengdu, specifically in the deepest corner of the Southern District.
As a result, after walking for some time in the Southern District, Lian Yun had not encountered any spirits. Even when night fell, he did not make any special efforts to conceal himself.
After effortlessly killing seven or eight Evil Spirits and collecting several Spiritwoods, he directly sat cross-legged on the rooftop of a tall building at night to consume and absorb the Spiritwoods he had obtained.
Lian Yun dared to act this way because he had changed into a new Mask, and besides Chen Er Gou, all the other Ghost Slaves had been released by him.
Zhao Jinlong, Zhao Jinhui, and the Ding Siblings counted as one group, along with Big Head and Sword Mountain. Together, they represented more than five powerful Ghost Kings. In this Demon Clan-dominated Southern District, Lian Yun felt even more at ease.
As for why he consumed so much Spiritwood, it was mainly because he wanted to extract the spiritual energy from the Ghost Slaves to enhance his own power for the upcoming challenges, aiming to reach around C Grade before using medicinal enhancements. Without this, he truly had little hope of achieving Ultimate Ascension to Kingship in the remaining two months.
The night passed relatively peacefully. Although a few Spirits wandered nearby, they were silently subdued by Big Head and others before being tossed into the Box within Lian Yun's body.
However, as night faded and dawn approached, Lian Yun was disturbed by a wave of ominous energy.
A filthy, unclean aura seemed to spread across the land, making him feel as if he were a walking corpse, living with an overwhelming sense of indifference.
Following this foul energy came a series of tremors from the ground. Then, to Lian Yun's shock, hundreds and thousands of Zombies emerged from beneath the earth.
Their bodies were almost entirely ruined; many were so decayed that they no longer resembled humans. Yet they all raised their heads high, adopting a posture that seemed to swallow the world.
This scene was deeply etched in Lian Yun's memory.
Wasn't it just like when his grandfather Lin Jin devoured Purple Qi?
Lian Yun immediately turned to face the east and soon saw a mass of Purple Qi drifting toward him. It descended far ahead of him, and quickly a wave of Purple Mist began to spread across the ground before him.
At that moment, Lian Yun felt that the concentration of Purple Qi was three or four times denser than what he had experienced in Grandma's courtyard.
"Could it be related to the number of Zombies?" Lian Yun thought to himself, feeling a surge of excitement.
Although he could obtain Deep Blue Energy from battling the Evil Spirit and convert it into Purple Qi, if he could acquire even more, he would be able to fully unleash his power to kill the Evil Spirit and gain a substantial amount of concentrated Nutrient Solution, which could be used for his realm advancement.
Lian Yun landed swiftly, wielding Wu Tai, using Vibrational Force to smash one Zombie after another into pieces.
The main difference between a Zombie and a regular corpse is that one is intact while the other is decayed. Additionally, Zombies, like Evil Spirits, can restrain Spirits, whereas Zombies are merely a mass of rotten flesh.
Under such relentless attacks, Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Jinhui were killing faster than Lian Yun.
Purple Mist spread around; it was all absorbed by the Box within Lian Yun's body. As a result, all the surrounding Zombies roared madly at Lian Yun.
Lian Yun paid no mind to this; whether it was hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of Zombies attacking, he felt no fear.
However, after killing dozens of Zombies without seeing any Purple Qi emerge from them, Lian Yun instructed Big Head and the Ghost Slaves to stop and chose to retreat.
Since the amount of Purple Qi was related to the number of Zombies, senseless slaughtering of Zombies clearly had no benefits.
Lian Yun intended to use these Zombies to attract more Purple Qi.
