Chapter 472: Immortal Cultivator Zombies
Xu Longfei said, “I remember that something major happened about 3,000 years ago.
“On the Qingyun Sect’s side, in order to become stronger, a few disciples secretly cultivated a heretic technique and were willing to fall into the demonic path to become a heretic cultivator. In the end, the matter was exposed.
“However, in order to get rid of these people, Qingyun Sect suffered heavy losses.
“They did not know that these people had already cultivated to the Immortal realm.
“Furthermore, that heretic technique allowed one to burn one’s lifespan in exchange for combat strength.
“Even though they had just entered the Immortal realm, as long as they burned enough of their lifespans, they could even kill Golden Immortals.
“In that battle, although the Qingyun Sect wiped out these people, they also lost a few Golden Immortals and dozens of Immortal elders. It could be said that they had suffered comparable damage while destroying the enemy.
“From then on, they never recovered from the setback.”
“I didn’t expect such a thing to have happened to the Qingyun Sect before. Those friends are really something too. They didn’t even tell me about this,” said Qin Chuan casually.
“As the saying goes, don’t air your dirty laundry in public. Have you seen anyone who would spread their ugly troubles?”
Qin Chuan chuckled. “Then are there those kinds of troubles in our sect?”
Xu Longfei didn’t think much of it. “That’s obvious. How can a faction with a long legacy like ours not have any dirt linen?”
“I’m very curious.” Qin Chuan raised his brows.
“You’ll know when you’ve spent enough time here.
“The most important thing now is to destroy this so-called zombie virus and let the people of the secular world return to normal life as soon as possible.”
“I understand.”
“Alright! This is the reason why I’m looking for you today. Once the divine art is promoted, I believe we’ll be able to control the illness and let everyone return to their normal lives.”
Xu Longfei did not stay any longer. With that, he left.
After returning to the headquarters, he immediately gathered all the elders and imparted the Quantum True Eye to everyone.
Those Immortal King elders could master it immediately.
After all, this divine art wasn’t very difficult.
As for the other elders, as long as they were above the Golden Immortal realm, they would be able to master it quickly with some research.
As for those below the Golden Immortal realm, it would take some time.
After the elders mastered it, they imparted it to their disciples.
In less than two months, all the disciples at the headquarters could write the Quantum True Eye, but mastering it depended on each person.
During this period, with the constant efforts of Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi, the infected people on the two continents were eliminated.
Now, there was only one continent left.
Seeing that Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi had been working so hard during this period of time, the elders asked them to have a good rest and leave the rest to them.
Now that these elders had mastered the Quantum True Eye, even though they weren’t very familiar with it, they simply needed to check a few more times. It would just take more time.
Qin Chuan didn’t feel very tired.
Every day was fulfilling.
After all, he had a curse on him, and cultivating would not increase his cultivation.
However, the elders were too fervent. He had no choice but to stop.
But he still had something to do.
During his conversation with Xu Longfei, he told Qin Chuan that the zombie virus wouldn’t appear out of thin air. Someone must have brought it in.
If he could find the first infected person, things would be easier.
However, no one had encountered such a situation before. The first infected person didn’t really matter to them.
However, this didn’t stump Qin Chuan. He already had a plan.
After resting for a few days, he called Dan Yangzi over again.
Dan Yangzi was very unhappy.
He knew that Qin Chuan was up to no good.
Although he complained, his body was honest.
It couldn’t be helped. He owed Qin Chuan too much in the Disarray Galaxy.
“Old Qin, why are you looking for me?” asked Dan Yangzi.
“This zombie virus didn’t appear out of nowhere. It’s very likely that someone deliberately created it.
“If we can find the source of the initial infection, we will have a chance to find the mastermind. ”
Dan Yangzi smiled and said, “How long has it been since the zombie virus erupted?
“The first infected person has probably already turned to ashes. How are you going to find him? Can you return to the past?”
Qin Chuan continued to speak confidently, “Finding the first infected person is naturally unrealistic, the place where they were infected can’t have disappeared!”
Dan Yangzi said, “I think it’s still very difficult.”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s difficult or not. In any case, we have nothing better to do. Aren’t you curious about where this virus came from?”
Dan Yangzi said, “I’m curious, but I’m really not idle.”
“Are you coming or not?” Qin Chuan questioned.
“Yes, of course,” said Dan Yangzi. “Since Sect Master Qin has spoken, how could I refuse?”
“Then why did you still have so much to say just now?!”
“Eh! That was a conditional reflex!”
“…”
…
North Cloud City.
This was a city about the same size as Mingyang City.
Before the appearance of the zombie virus, North Cloud City was a very prosperous city.
In addition to ancient buildings, there were many high-rise buildings with futuristic sci-fi features. It felt like an advanced civilization city.
However, this became the first place where the zombie virus erupted.
Everything was ruined.
The zombie virus came very suddenly.
No one had encountered such a virus before, and there was no way to resist or take effective measures to prevent infection.
This was related to the infectiousness of the zombie virus.
As long as a person was injured by the zombie virus, the virus would instantly destroy their bodily functions and quickly turn them into zombies.
Overnight, this large city with millions of people became a living h.e.l.l.
Without the intervention of the Luo Ding Sect, the disaster caused by the zombie virus would have been even more serious.
Today, this large city with millions of people was already a dead city.
The tall buildings were gone. All one could see were ruins.
Dan Yangzi witnessed all of this.
When he and the other people from the Luo Ding Sect arrived, more than 80% of the people in this city had been infected by the zombie virus.
They had never seen such a virus either.
Some disciples did not take it to heart at all, thinking that the ones who were infected with the zombie virus were ordinary people who were weak.
They didn’t expect ordinary people’s attributes to be boosted qualitatively after becoming zombies.
Some disciples were scratched or bitten by zombies and were quickly infected.
It would be even more dangerous when immortal cultivators became zombies.
After becoming a zombie, immortal cultivators wouldn’t be like ordinary people who could scratch and bite like mad dogs.
They mastered spells and divine arts. Their combat techniques would be used according to their muscle memory.
Besides, after turning into zombies, if their bodies weren’t completely destroyed, they wouldn’t really die, even if they only had half of their bodies left.
Therefore, the battle that was originally against the ordinary zombies instantly became one against immortal cultivator zombies.
This battle was especially tragic.
The Luo Ding Sect suffered heavy losses.
In the end, there was no other way. There were too many infected disciples, so the elders had no choice but to use their divine art with a wide range of damage to eliminate them.
This way, the buildings in the city instantly turned into ruins, becoming what they were now.
Now, the huge city was enveloped by a barrier to prevent the spread of the virus.
Through the barrier, one could see the tragic state inside.
The tall buildings of the past had become dilapidated, the beautiful mountains and rivers of the past had become h.e.l.l on earth, and the bustling streets had become uninhabited.
There were some disciples and elders guarding this place.
Qin Chuan went over to greet them.
His reputation was very good now. After stating his intentions, the elders did not refuse his entry.
After giving a few instructions, he was allowed to enter.
Inside the barrier, the air was still filled with the smell of gunpowder.
