Chapter 2668

Zhu Yanyi sighed slightly. "I was wrong. I didn't expect the Evil Buddha Realm to be just a world full of anger created by the Evil Buddha. I still don't know her true purpose, but what happens here is deeply sad."

It was called the Evil Buddha Realm, but it looked more like an apocalypse. Humans here had strict social ranks.

Zhu Yanyi didn't know if the Evil Buddha wanted to brand these ranks into people's hearts, but the situation was heartbreaking for any normal person.

"I don't know how this place formed, but the Evil Buddha is the true hidden controller. That is undeniable," Zhu Yanyi said to Zhou Kun and the others.

Zhou Kun thought for a moment. "This place formed about a hundred years ago. For some reason, a blood-red moon and a blue sun appeared in the sky at the same time.

That state lasted day and night for nine full days. Then, everything in this world changed. Some people awakened special abilities, while others turned into zombies.

We are descendants of ability users. My parents were ability users too. They died fighting zombies. Everyone in our Haiblan Team has similar stories. We have no other family. The Haiblan Team is our only family."

Thinking of his fallen comrades, Zhou Kun’s eyes turned red. If they were still alive, they could test their cultivation potential too. Maybe their talent would be as good as Qin Han’s.

Zhu Yanyi sighed. "According to you, zombies have existed here for nearly a century. Why is their evolution so slow? Most are Level 1 or 2. There are many Level 3s nearby, but I haven't seen any Level 4 or 5 zombies. If you hadn't encountered one, I wouldn't have known Level 5 zombies existed."

"Actually, this evolution isn't slow. Among human ability users, the highest is Level 7, and there is only one. There are five Level 6 users, and about twenty Level 5 users. Human evolution is slow, so zombie evolution is likely slow too. It feels like human and zombie evolution are balanced." An Guinong explained.

Zhu Yanyi pondered. "So, the highest human ability user is Level 7, and the highest zombie is also Level 7?"

"Yes," Zhou Kun and the others nodded.

Zhu Yanyi fell silent. A flash of inspiration seemed to pass through her mind, but it was too fast to catch.

She tried to grasp it but failed, so she filed it away without dwelling. "As a medical cultivator, I am researching how to cure this zombie poison. But if I don't remove the source, curing individuals is useless."

The source was the Evil Buddha. Zhou Kun and the others understood her meaning.

"Sister-in-law, our strength is small, but if you need us, just tell us. We want to contribute our little power. We hope this apocalyptic disaster ends soon," Zhou Kun said seriously.

"That's right. What the boss said is true," An Guinong added. "I think of Ren Shen and the others. If the disaster ends soon, no one else will suffer like they did."

"Yes," the others agreed. "Sister-in-law, just give us orders."

"Alright. But first, you need to learn the path of cultivation. To be honest, cultivating here is difficult, but I hope you will challenge this difficulty," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Follow me."

Zhou Kun and the others didn't know what Zhu Yanyi wanted to do, but they knew she wouldn't bully them, so they followed her out.

In the courtyard, Zhu Yanyi took out some top-grade spirit stones and set up a Spirit Gathering Array. "Enter this array. I will give you a basic technique to draw Qi into your body. You won't succeed on the first day, but come here to practice when you are free. You will get results soon."

Zhu Yanyi tapped each person's forehead, imparting the basic Qi Condensation technique.

Other techniques would depend on their future opportunities.

Actually, in the inheritance Azure Sovereign Qingdi gave Zhu Yanyi, there were simple techniques for various spiritual roots. But Zhu Yanyi didn't give them yet. She wanted to see their Qi Condensation progress first.

If possible, she wouldn't hesitate to give them these simple attribute techniques.

With the Qi drawing technique, Zhou Kun and the others spent the next few days eating, resting, and cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Array.

Zhu Yanyi used this time to fully heal Shangguan Haohan’s injuries.

Meanwhile, Yan Aohan went to the passage Ma Tianliang mentioned. He indeed saw two identical passages.

As an Emperor Venerable, Yan Aohan naturally knew which one was fake. He waved his hand and sealed the fake passage.

After sealing it, he worried the Evil Buddha might unseal it later. Although the Evil Buddha might not have that ability, Yan Aohan decided to destroy the passage completely to be safe.

Once done, he went to find the Immortal Emperor. This matter should have been the Immortal Emperor’s responsibility, but since Yan Aohan had acted, he needed to inform him.

The Immortal Emperor thought for a moment and said, "I will go to the Evil Buddha Realm with you."

"Are you sure you want to go there?" Yan Aohan looked at the Immortal Emperor. "That is not a good place."

"It’s not for ordinary people. What does it matter to me?" The Immortal Emperor glanced at Yan Aohan.

Yan Aohan said, "If I knew you were going, I would have let you handle it. Why did I interfere?"

The Immortal Emperor said, "The capable bear more burdens."

"Enough talk. Since we are going, let’s hurry. My wife is still there," Yan Aohan said. He disliked dragging things out, so he wanted to return quickly.

The Immortal Emperor had no objections. After communicating with the Immortal Empress, he left the Immortal Realm with Yan Aohan, heading to the Evil Buddha Realm.

Zhu Yanyi was slightly surprised to see Yan Aohan bring the Immortal Emperor back. "Do you have time to come here?"
