The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 425

Chu Xuan gazed at the towering black smoke in the distance, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"The eruption of Desolate Island's volcanoes—fortune or disaster? Can I profit from this?"

He immediately began considering his options.

"Once the volcanic eruption subsides, a large number of cultivators will undoubtedly flock to Desolate Island, seeking the treasures that have erupted from the depths of the earth. Where there are treasures, there will be conflict. And where there is conflict, there will be casualties."

Chu Xuan's eyes gleamed. This was a golden opportunity to gather treasures. He had accumulated quite a few magical talismans and pills, all of which were produced at a very low cost. He could easily bring them to Desolate Island and exchange them for a variety of valuable items.

And, along the way, he could also collect the bodies of fallen cultivators to spare them from being left to rot in the wilderness.

The only issue was the balance of risk and reward. Was the potential gain worth the danger involved in venturing to Desolate Island?

Chu Xuan's strength was undeniable. As long as a Deity Transformation cultivator didn't intervene, no one could match him. Moreover, the Starshatter Sea had clear rankings of power.

The First Ring consisted of A-tier forces, with Deity Transformation late-stage cultivators in command. The Second Ring comprised B-tier forces, with Deity Transformation mid-stage cultivators at the helm. The Third Ring was made up of C-tier forces, such as Moon Island, Yellow Spring Island, Black Wind Island, and Nine Yin Island. These were all C-tier powers, governed by early-stage Deity Transformation cultivators.

Even if Desolate Island were to yield treasures, it would only attract the attention of Deity Transformation early-stage cultivators at most.

Chu Xuan himself possessed the combat strength of a Forty-First Layer Body Refining cultivator. Even if he couldn't defeat a Deity Transformation early-stage expert, he could certainly withstand a few blows and escape if necessary.

After pondering for a while, Chu Xuan decided to wait and see how things unfolded. After all, the mighty forces of nature were the most terrifying. He had heard that even Deity Transformation cultivators dared not venture too deep into the volcanoes beneath Desolate Island.

There was no need for him to rush into danger now. He would wait for the eruption to subside, then make his way to Desolate Island and engage in some profitable transactions.

Sure enough, as Chu Xuan piloted his flying boat back to Nameless Island, he immediately noticed many flying boats heading toward Desolate Island. They were all desperate souls, valuing wealth over life. However, upon a brief glance, he saw that among them were quite a few elderly cultivators with white hair—some in Golden Core and some in Nascent Soul stages.

The goal of the Golden Core elders seemed simple enough: they hoped to obtain a few Nascent Soul spiritual treasures before their time ran out, so they could break through and prolong their lives for a few more centuries.

The Nascent Soul elders, on the other hand, likely had the future of their descendants in mind. They were also seeking the Nascent Soul treasures, hoping to secure something valuable for their heirs.

Chu Xuan sighed lightly. "Such unfortunate people."

He didn't linger on the matter, speeding up to head straight back to Nameless Island.

In the following days, Chu Xuan often piloted his boat near the waters surrounding Desolate Island. The volcanic range on the island, which usually only emitted small bursts of ash and lava, had been erupting on a large scale for days. This time, it seemed impossible to stop. The eruptions lasted for five days before they began to subside.

Only half a month later did the volcanoes finally calm down. By then, a large number of cultivators began sailing toward Desolate Island in waves. The majority were Golden Core cultivators, with Nascent Soul cultivators forming the core and backbone of the group.

Chu Xuan did not rush to the island at first. Who knew if the volcanoes would erupt again? There was no need to hurry; after all, he had plenty of time and was in no rush.

Several more days passed. By now, the eruptions had shown no signs of reigniting. Chu Xuan finally steered his flying boat toward Desolate Island, taking his time to reach the island.

Upon arrival, he found that many cultivators had already started flying to the island. The peripheral areas were crowded with cultivators trading with one another, and a bustling little marketplace had begun to form.

After setting up his table and chairs, Chu Xuan sat back, his posture relaxed and unhurried. His right hand held a demon talisman manual, which he flipped through leisurely, a faint smile on his face. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
