The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 383

Lie Xiao and Lie Chen's breath caught in their throats. A method to open additional Insect Orifices?! Was this some kind of ancient scripture? In all three of the great tribal nations, such a technique could not possibly exist.

Lie Xin saw the disbelief in their eyes. She spoke calmly, "When I first began, I only had two Insect Orifices. Now, I have four, becoming a Platinum Insect Master. It was all due to the techniques provided by the Magic Mirror—the Orifice Opening Scripture and the Great Orifice Opening Scripture.

The Magic Mirror can even offer me a better Earth Orifice Sutra, allowing me to open the fifth Insect Orifice and approach the realm of Diamond Insect Master. However, the Magic Mirror is not always so generous.

It requires a method of cultivating yao insects, and its appetite grows ever larger. Now, I must acquire a cultivation technique that can nurture yao insects to the Diamond level to satisfy its hunger. My life is short, and I will never see that day."

Lie Xin turned her gaze toward the two men. "You two are the ones I have chosen. Are you willing to take on my legacy?"

Lie Xiao bowed his head seriously. "I am willing!"

Lie Chen nodded. "I am also willing, but I do not need to take the position of chieftain. I do not need this mirror either. I will remain in the royal palace, and Xiao'er can return to take the position of chieftain. This will be better for the tribe's development."

Lie Xin looked at him with a look of approval. In this moment, it was just as it had been in the past. When her father, Lie Zhao, had wished for her to return, she too had chosen to stay within the Holy Ant Tribe. Because she knew, only by staying there could she make the greatest impact.

Lie Xiao looked at his brother in surprise. "You don't want such a valuable thing as the mirror?"

Lie Chen smiled. "I fear I may not be able to control it, and it would lead me instead."

Lie Xiao scratched his nose. "Then I'll take it!"

He extended his hand and accepted the leather pouch that Lie Xin passed to him. Inside the pouch was what they referred to as the Magic Mirror.

Lie Xin regarded the two of them with admiration for a long while, before speaking.

"Lie Xiao, stay by my side for a time and learn how to handle the affairs of the tribe. Lie Chen, return to the royal palace and report this matter to the country's ruler. Tell him that my life is nearing its end, and I have reluctantly chosen Lie Xiao as my successor. I hope the ruler will grant his approval."

Lie Xiao and Lie Chen both nodded respectfully. "Yes."

Chu Xuan quietly observed everything, nodding slightly to himself. Once again, he had witnessed the succession of hosts from one generation to the next. It all started with Xiao Huo, then Lie Yong, followed by Lie Zhao, Lie Xin, and now, Lie Xiao. As he thought back, a small smile tugged at his lips.

Xiao Huo had truly been underwhelming. Despite having such a hardworking and selfless "old grandfather" by his side, he had barely made any progress.

Now, with Lie Xin having already chosen her successor, Chu Xuan did not involve himself further. He withdrew his spiritual sense and turned his focus inward.

The Black Palace would likely yield no results in the short term, so he could use this time to focus entirely on breaking through to Nascent Soul, Level Nine.

The seasons passed, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed since his arrival on Blue Star.

For all that time, Chu Xuan had remained in seclusion within the cave's training room. The floor of the room was covered in large spirit stones, so many that it seemed the entire floor had been embedded with them. Even the Deity Transformation cultivators like Heavenly River True Master and Tian Mozi Daoist would gasp at such extravagance. It was undeniably lavish!

Yet, despite sitting motionless for two decades, Chu Xuan's body had not accumulated a speck of dust. With his cultivation level, he had long since transcended such trivial concerns. A small bit of dust would never touch him.

At a certain moment, the aura within Chu Xuan's body suddenly surged, rising at an alarming rate. It was like a volcano, built up over millennia, suddenly finding an outlet to release its pent-up energy.

In an instant, the aura exploded forth, surging uncontrollably.

Boom!
