In a dim space.

“Sir, one of the farms we set up in the Immortal realm has been discovered.”

“I already know that.”

“Then what should we do? If this spreads, we probably won’t be able to hide it with the methods of the Immortal realm’s immortal cultivators.”

“There’s no need to worry about this. The living beings in this world will find out about us sooner or later. Let’s just wait and see.”

“Yes!”

…

Zombie breeding space.

After Qin Chuan eliminated the zombies with tentacles on their mouths, he heard a beast-like roar coming from underground.

The entire space shook violently. There was also the sound of ice cracking as if space was about to collapse.

Dan Yangzi, who was meditating, stood up at once.

“Old Qin!” He looked at Qin Chuan solemnly.

“The Boss is coming out.” Qin Chuan looked down calmly. “And there’s more than one.”

After he finished speaking, the ground rose up like a protruding hill.

Then, the hill broke open, and three giant zombies appeared.

These three zombies were huge—more than ten meters tall.

These three zombies were transformed from Giants. They were full of strength.

From their auras, they were equivalent to Mystic Immortals.

At this level, they were even stronger than Qin Chuan’s main body.

Regardless, Qin Chuan could even kill a Silver Immortal, let alone a mere Mystic Immortal.

However, since his opponents were zombies, it was still very dangerous. He could not let them get close to him. If his skin was scratched, his clone would become a zombie.

Qin Chuan couldn’t afford to be careless.

At this moment, the three Giant zombies charged toward Qin Chuan with ferocious expressions.

The sound of whistling wind filled the air.

Qin Chuan immediately stood in front of Dan Yangzi and protected him.

At the same time, Qin Chuan circulated his dharmic powers—a steady stream of Law of Gravity converged on his palm.

When the three Giant zombies were about to reach him, a huge, transparent black cube enveloped them.

The gravity of the cube was countless times greater than that of the outside world.

Under the suppression, the three Giant zombies seemed to have been immobilized. Other than their eyeballs rolling around, they could not move at all.

Just as Qin Chuan was about to give them a quick death, Dan Yangzi suddenly spoke.

“Old Qin, don’t finish them off yet.

“I’ll see if I can refine them into spirit pills.”

“How long will it take?” asked Qin Chuan.

Dan Yangzi said, “If possible, about ten minutes.”

“Alright! Remember to move fast. My Main Body Peak Experience Card is almost up.

“Don’t let anything go wrong!” said Qin Chuan.

“I’ll give it a try. If it really doesn’t work, then let’s forget it.”

With that, Dan Yangzi executed his alchemy technique again.

Because these three Giant zombies were much stronger than Dan Yangzi, it would be difficult to refine them.

Dan Yangzi really didn’t have much confidence in himself, but he still had to go all out.

Instantly, the huge cube was filled with flames. Like a furnace, the temperature grew.

Qin Chuan was looking forward to it.

If they could be refined into spirit pills, he would be able to take these spirit pills and advance to the Immortal realm in one go after his curse was taken care of.

Dan Yangzi had tried his best.

Unfortunately, his clone was only in the first level of the Mahayana Realm. One minute before Qin Chuan’s Main Body Experience Card was about to end, he refined two spirit pills.

This was already not bad.

Qin Chuan accepted the two spirit pills.

The space quickly began to collapse after the three Giant zombies died.

Qin Chuan brought the exhausted Dan Yangzi with him and escaped through the entrance.

He dashed all the way back to the original fork in the road.

Coincidentally, Xu Longfei and the others had just taken care of another zombie space and were about to head to another passageway.

At this moment, they bumped into Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi.

“…”

“…”

“…”

All parties stared at each other.

“Eh…” Qin Chuan was speechless. He didn’t expect such a coincidence.

Xu Longfei’s face flushed red, turned livid, and finally returned to normal.

Qin Chuan chuckled. “Sect Master, you guys are here too! What a coincidence!”

“Yeah! It’s indeed a coincidence.” Xu Longfei smiled, his eyes cold.

“Then… Sect Master, you guys go ahead. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.” Qin Chuan pulled Dan Yangzi’s sleeve and was about to leave.

Xu Longfei did not stop him.

“Elder Wu, I’ll have to trouble you.”

Elder Wu smiled and nodded, then said to Qin Chuan, “Let’s go!”

“Alright…” replied Qin Chuan.

He did not want to leave, but his luck was too bad. He could only return obediently.

With the escort of the Immortal King elder, the journey was smooth and uneventful. They returned to the outside without a hitch.

To prevent Qin Chuan from going to the spatial passageway again, Elder Wu kept close to him and even placed a restriction on him.

Qin Chuan was helpless. The other party was an Immortal King. Even if his main body were here, it would be difficult for him to escape from his watch.

Just like that, half a month passed.

In the past half a month, Qin Chuan’s activities were limited to his room, and he almost never went out.

Every day, Qin Chuan only ate and slept. Occasionally, he would look for Dan Yangzi to chat with. However, with outsiders monitoring him, they could only chat about random things, and he was unhappy doing so too.

He hoped that such days would pass quickly.

Days passed.

Elder Wu still hadn’t left. Qin Chuan couldn’t hold on any longer.

He thought that after such a long time, the Sect Master and the others should have returned long ago.

Why is he still monitoring me?

No, I can’t just sit here and do nothing. I have to take the initiative.

On this day, after washing up, Qin Chuan changed his clothes and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Elder Wu stopped him. “Qin Chuan, what are you going to do?”

Qin Chuan bowed and said, “Elder, I plan to go to the headquarters to have a chat with Sect Master.”

Elder Wu said, “The Sect Master isn’t around, I advise you not to go.”

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment. He didn’t think there was a need for Elder Wu to lie to him.

Then, Qin Chuan asked, “Did the Sect Master go out? When will he be back?”

Elder Wu narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard. “You don’t need to know that,” he said coolly.

Qin Chuan could already guess it.

It was most likely because of the zombies.

After exploring the spatial passageway, Qin Chuan concluded that there were definitely more zombie breeding spaces in other places.

The zombie virus could infect immortal cultivators. If they were to ignore it, the Immortal realm would face its end.

Qin Chuan concluded that once the existence of zombies was made public, there would definitely be a huge commotion in the Immortal Realm.

However, Qin Chuan had no clue where this thing came from, nor did he have any intention of getting to the bottom of it.

After all, the many powerful figures in the Immortal realm would find an answer if the situation was publicized.

The only thing that Qin Chuan was worried about was how to escape the surveillance.

Being monitored made him feel uncomfortable. There were many things he couldn’t do.

Now, Qin Chuan would rather go die than continue staying in the room.

Therefore, he asked, “Elder, going to the headquarters should be fine right!”

Elder Wu opened his eyes and asked solemnly, “What for?”

Qin Chuan said seriously, “Elder, you should know.

“I have the curse of a heretic cultivator on me. Before I remove it, my cultivation will not advance.

“Rather than doing nothing at home, I might as well go to the Dao Technique Chamber to study.”

Elder Wu said, “It’s really commendable that you have such perception.

“Since you are going to the Dao Technique Chamber to study, I naturally won’t stop you.

“But if I have any other thoughts, I will bring you back as soon as I find out.

“I’ll give you a reminder first. I hope you won’t play any tricks.”

Qin Chuan bowed and said, “Elder, don’t worry. I’m really going to study this time, I definitely don’t have other intentions.”
