Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 84 – Three years later, Foundation Level Six!
A moment later, Wang Gangjian opened his eyes.
His muscles had swelled significantly.
His heart pounded like a massive pump, sending blood throughout his body.
His arms had expanded even more than before.
The muscles bulged like stones.
There was no doubt that the power surging within him could punch through iron plates.
Wang Gangjian was overjoyed and exclaimed excitedly, "Level 3 Transcendent! I've become a Level 3 Transcendent!"
"Thank you, Immortal!"
Chu Xuan glanced at Tang Jinchuan, "You eat it too."
"Yes."
Tang Jinchuan didn't hesitate any longer and immediately consumed the Level 3 spiritual energy core in his hand.
He was a bit luckier.
He didn't undergo the intense zombification like Wang Gangjian.
But his entire body was in immense pain.
It felt as if countless little demons were trying to tear him apart.
If this continued, he wouldn't be able to fully absorb the energy of the spiritual energy core, which would be a waste.
Chu Xuan casually pointed, breaking through the congestion of spiritual energy, allowing it to flow smoothly to where it needed to go.
In a moment, Tang Jinchuan stood up again, unable to hide his excitement, "I'm a Level 2 Transcendent now! Thank you for the Immortal's gift!"
Chu Xuan said calmly, "Show me your talents."
"Yes!"
Wang Gangjian and Tang Jinchuan didn't hesitate.
They immediately activated their respective talents.
Their talents were [Steel Arm] and [Fat Extraction].
With the increase in spiritual energy level, their talents became stronger.
Chu Xuan watched and pondered.
His previous guess was correct.
Spiritual energy was far inferior to spiritual qi in all aspects, and even more so compared to spiritual power refined from spiritual qi.
But in terms of vitality, spiritual energy was comparable to spiritual qi.
Now, Wang Gangjian, although only a Level 3 Transcendent, possessed immense strength.
In close combat, he could already kill a Qi Refining stage cultivator.
His vitality was as rich as that of a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.
Tang Jinchuan's talent was more versatile.
Extracting fat to form various shapes, it could be used for attack, defense, and had special effects.
"Your current strength is barely sufficient."
"Go back, you know what to do and what not to do."
Chu Xuan said casually.
"Yes!"
The two nodded repeatedly and turned to leave.
Their hearts still filled with excitement.
When they returned to Black Blade's base, they couldn't stop smiling.
The few survivors guarding the gate were utterly confused.
Did Boss Wang and Boss Tang take the wrong medicine?
Why were they so happy?
At this moment, Wang Yong had already driven back.
When he and Song Dayi saw Wang Gangjian and Tang Jinchuan return, they immediately approached to inquire about the situation.
Wang Yong was anxious, "Brother, the Boat Gang also suffered from the mushroom men's attack, with heavy casualties. They can't help us."
"Did you manage to invite the Immortal... were you successful?"
Wang Gangjian and Tang Jinchuan were grinning from ear to ear.
"Hahaha! You won't believe what happened."
The two recounted everything that had just happened in detail.
Wang Yong and Song Dayi were utterly shocked.
"Holy crap!"
"The mushroom men retreated?!"
"Have we been recruited by the Immortal?!"
"You're a Level 3 Transcendent?!"
Wang Yong and Song Dayi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's right, we are indeed equivalent to being recruited by the Immortal."
"However, the Immortal has high expectations of us, and we cannot slack off."
Wang Gangjian said solemnly.
"The mushroom men's crisis has been resolved. Outside, there are at most a few stray mushroom men wandering around. Tell the brothers not to worry anymore."
Tang Jinchuan also smiled.
Wang Yong and Song Dayi were overjoyed to tears.
They wished they could hug each other and cry.
Great!
The crisis being resolved was better than anything!
"From today on, Black Blade needs to change its strategy."
"Our primary task is to gather intelligence for the Immortal, all major forces, extraordinary beings... any information is needed!"
"For this primary task, we need to recruit more Transcendents to join and strengthen Black Blade's power!"
Wang Gangjian said solemnly.
"Yes, we'll get on it right away."
Wang Yong and the others nodded heavily.
...
Chu Xuan wasn't too concerned about Black Blade's actions.
His own formidable strength, two Level 3 spiritual energy cores, and a 100% success rate in advancement were enough to make Wang Gangjian and other Transcendents utterly loyal to him.
But if Black Blade's people couldn't complete the tasks he assigned or if their actions didn't satisfy him, it wouldn't matter.
He could always replace them.
This planet had no shortage of people.
Many were eager to be his agents and gather intelligence for him.
Chu Xuan rode the Heavenly Force Flying Sword to the Soul Capturing Yin Nurturing Formation in Shuanglong City.
He sat cross-legged within the formation, operating the Blood Fiend Demon Refining Manual, absorbing the dense Yin Evil Qi within the formation.
His realm improved day by day.
A year later, his realm naturally advanced to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.
Two years later, he reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.
During this time, Black Blade sent a large amount of intelligence multiple times.
This included information on various forces around and the whereabouts of extraordinary beings.
Chu Xuan didn't need to take action himself against these extraordinary beings; he only needed to send Little Dragon, Little Tiger, and Little Leopard, his three corpses.
He just needed to sit in the formation and cultivate.
There was a continuous supply of spiritual energy cores delivered to him.
The spiritual energy cores from extraordinary animals were mostly attribute-less.
A small portion were from fish, so they had water-attributed spiritual energy cores.
As for other attributes, there were none.
The spiritual energy cores from extraordinary plants were mostly wood-attributed.
This was good news for Chu Xuan.
Over the past year, he had obtained nearly twenty wood-attributed spiritual energy cores.
Placing them in the Hundred Wood Nourishing Spirit Formation could produce at least twenty wood-attributed spiritual entities.
Moreover, Chu Xuan had realized that after breaking through two minor realms in one go, there was now a huge obstacle to advancing to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.
The gap between the sixth and seventh levels seemed like just one level, but it was actually a huge difference between the mid and late stages of Foundation Establishment.
Many cultivators with poor spiritual roots were stuck here.
They exhausted their lifespan but couldn't advance any further.
"With my spiritual roots, if I add persistent effort, I should be able to break through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, but it will take a longer time."
"Three years, four years, even five years, are possible."
"But that would be too long."
Chu Xuan shook his head.
According to the time flow between Cangxuan World and Ocean Blue Star, about three months had passed in Cangxuan World.
The war between Tianyin Gate and the Wuzhou sects should have passed the meat grinder stage and reached its end.
He needed to quickly advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment to join in and claim a share.
"I must quickly refine an Evil Wood Spiritual Body, such a postnatal spiritual body."

Chu Xuan exhaled and finished his cultivation, riding the Heavenly Force Flying Sword to the Hundred Wood Nourishing Spirit Formation.
He wanted to see if the wood-attributed spiritual entities were mature.
