Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials

Chapter 312 - 168: Talisman Master and Holy Beetle

With the current computational logic and Zheng Yi’s foundational reserves, the gradually perfected ’Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Skill Talisman Acupoint System’ is also an enhancement of his personal foundations, almost to the point where one could say he’s exhausted his mental capacity and potential to barely reach his personal limit in the end.

After opening the seventy-second physical acupoint, Zheng Yi’s endeavor to deduce the system using the computational prowess of the Super Brain Main God was nearly concluded.

The next step is to fill the system with flesh and blood.

This is something the intangible and broad Super Brain Main God cannot achieve.

It requires Zheng Yi in reality to leverage his power through the Daluo Alliance to accomplish.

However, although the process of excavating this potential is extremely painful and difficult, it has yielded significant insights for Zheng Yi, even resulting in considerable progress in his Divine Soul Power.

Zheng Yi has ideas that, in his future path of cultivation, the Incense Fire Dharma Realm and the computational ability of the Super Brain Main God could become crucial trump cards.

One day, they will surely shine brilliantly.

With the simulation plan reaching a stage conclusion, Zheng Yi needed to continue with the next set of tasks.

First, he went to check how the breeding of Holy Beetles was progressing.

Whether it was Fengdu City in the Doomsday World or the Daluo Alliance of the Great Yi City Immortal Realm, they were merely tools for Zheng Yi to use.

What he valued about these two major powers was not power or status, but the resources and favorable conditions for cultivation they could provide him.

In the Cultivation Realm where individual power transcends all prerequisites, one’s own strength is the foundation of everything, and everything else is just a castle in the air. Zheng Yi understood this very early on.

Yet even this fact is something many people do not grasp until their death, tirelessly toiling day by day, scheming, playing with petty gains while forsaking significant ones.

Zheng Yi wanted to establish the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Skill Talisman Body Refining System; it was impossible to do it alone. But with the help of the two realms of Daluo Alliance and Fengdu City, he could accomplish what many individual cultivators could never achieve.

The further one progresses in cultivation, the more crucial it becomes to mobilize resources.

No matter how talented your aptitude or great your comprehension, when I play a trump card and mobilize countless resources several, tens, or even hundreds of times more than yours, how would you deal with that?

...

In Fengdu City, within that specifically designated area, Zheng Yi opened the array for secretly cultivating Holy Beetles, revealing what lay inside.

The once button-sized Corpse Turtles in the large cultivation pools had wildly grown through the nurturing of the Essence of Flesh and Blood of countless zombies.

The consumption of zombie flesh here was immense each day. The staff at Fengdu City, in compliance with Zheng Yi’s requests, continuously replenished zombie flesh in this area to nurture these Holy Beetles.

Different from the last observation, the originally small Corpse Turtles, with adequate food supply, gained massive nutrition and increased several times in size.

A small portion of them had begun to transform, shedding their black shells and becoming flat with a golden metallic texture akin to gold, incredibly hard. Even Zheng Yi couldn’t budge them with two fingers; these were the Holy Beetles the Xin Family referred to.

From the extreme Yin comes the birth of Yang. Originally carrion-feeding Corpse Turtles, through several transformations, evolved from extreme Yin to exude a sacred aura as Holy Beetles.

This, too, is one part of the world’s truth.

The ground of this cultivation pool had been compacted and reinforced with array support, as hard as metal, yet even such an incredibly hard surface still saw large mounds like ant hills emerging as if giant ant nests made by ants.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi had adequately prepared, layering an array outside to prevent the Holy Beetles from escaping, also considering the ground’s reason; otherwise, keeping these creatures contained wouldn’t be so simple.

In the massive nest, several Holy Beetles had been born, and subsequent events would naturally follow.

The breeding speed was faster than Zheng Yi had imagined.

His Divine Soul Power swept over this space, and the situation inside instantly integrated into his mind. Immediately, several mature Holy Beetles appeared in Zheng Yi’s view.

"It seems there are about five fully transformed Holy Beetles, and some with changed speckled surfaces, likely to evolve successfully after some time!"

"However, despite such numbers, the Essence of Flesh and Blood of zombies consumed amounted to so much, yet the culminating number of Holy Beetles is so sparse, indicating this spirit insect’s transformation belongs to a completely irregular atavistic metamorphosis..."

Even though a substantial number of Holy Beetles was bred for the first time, Zheng Yi was still quite dissatisfied.

The yield rate was too low.

Fortunately, Xin Lingxian was unaware of what was happening here. Had she known, given that the Xin Family had exhausted themselves over decades without breeding more than a hundred Holy Beetles,

Zheng Yi’s casual first attempt already yielded significant results, but he remained unsatisfied.

This indicates that occupying a unique world resource, and having the backing of a major power, brings wealth unimaginable to ordinary Loose Cultivators or small Cultivation Clans.

Zheng Yi didn’t wait for more Holy Beetles to emerge but rather took the first five cultivated ones and returned to the Great Yi City Immortal Realm.
