East Emperor - C158

Seeing this, Sikong Caizhi was overjoyed. He immediately started to practice the zombie transformation technique without hesitation.

One of the problems that must be mentioned here was the longevity of a cultivator, which was also known as longevity.

According to what Sikong Caizhi said, and Lu Feng’s own understanding, the lifespan of the cultivators in Tian Yuan Continent was directly proportional to her own strength.

Body refining stage cultivator only has a lifespan of a hundred years, upon reaching the Peak of Innate Stage, he would be only two hundred years old, with the Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow stages respectively corresponding to four hundred years, three hundred years, three hundred years, and two hundred and fifty years. After entering the Primordius, the situation would be slightly better, and every step could basically increase the lifespan of a hundred years, but a mixed element ninth stage expert’s lifespan would only be one thousand and three hundred years.

Therefore, this sort of immortal cultivation technique, to many cultivators, had a huge temptation.

When Sikong Caizhi first started cultivating this technique, there was a large part to it.

When Sikong Caizhi cultivated to a certain realm, then began to refine the blackish-yellow small hammer, the small hammer’s outer appearance had completely changed, becoming a small, exquisite nine-level pagoda, which was also the current Exquisite Tower.

Only now did Sikong Caizhi remember that he had been out for a long time already, and he had to rush back to the army as soon as possible. Otherwise, if an army did not have a general for a long time, it would cause a huge commotion.

Immediately, Sikong Caizhi brought his harvest and left the secret grounds, returning to the army.

However, Sikong Caizhi had left the army far too long ago, and it had been three whole months before and after that.

When this matter reached the Emperor of Azure Dragon Empire, the Emperor was furious and wanted to punish Sikong Caizhi for it.

It was fortunate that Sikong Caizhi had joined the army for so many years, that his contacts within the army could still be used. Under the protection of several forces, he was eventually reduced to the level of the City Lord of Heavenly Star City, guarding the Heavenly Star City and assisting in the defense of the Vermillion Bird Empire in the southeast direction.

At that time, Sikong Caizhi was no longer thinking about leading his troops to war, but rather, the king had downgraded him to a local official, which happened to fulfill his wish.

After the Heavenly Star City took over, Sikong Caizhi’s personality greatly changed. He changed from a righteous and strict great general to a corrupt and overbearing official.

In the past few years, the City Master, Sikong Caizhi had plundered a large amount of wealth, and also caused the entire region of Heavenly Star City to become desolate, and filled with grievances.

In reality, amassing money was not Sikong Caizhi’s final goal. His true goal was to make use of this wealth to force the commoners under his rule to rebel. This way, he could use this opportunity to eliminate the traitors and gather a large amount of corpses to prepare for his future zombies.

As the saying goes, when an official forces the people to rebel, the people have no choice but to rebel.

Under Sikong Caizhi’s forcible appearance, the citizens of Heavenly Star City who were about to die, finally had people who stood up to resist.

With someone taking the lead, naturally there would be some who responded. In an instant, many people within the boundaries of the Heavenly Star City rose up, especially those cultivators with cultivation bases, who were the main force in this wave of rebellion.

This time, Sikong Caizhi was extremely happy, he started to lead the City Guard, and in all directions, the judge took the chance to collect all the large number of corpses, and stored them all in the Exquisite Tower.

The Heavenly Star City was in complete chaos, and it shook the entire field. Sikong Caizhi’s actions also gradually had the tendency to leak out.

But right at this time, the Vermillion Bird Empire unintentionally did a huge favor for Sikong Caizhi.

The Azure Dragon Empire region was in chaos, so naturally, they obtained the corresponding information. In their opinion, this was a good opportunity to send out troops and Azure Dragon Empire.

Therefore, Vermillion Bird Empire had gathered several hundred thousand troops and dispatched Heavenly Star City, preparing to completely acquire the ownership of this area.

In the face of the enemy nation’s thirst for territory, the Azure Dragon Empire Emperor would naturally not send them off with cupped hands. Instead, he quickly gathered an army to retaliate against the invasion of the Vermillion Bird Empire.

At the same time, the emperor also deeply felt that his treatment of Sikong Caizhi before was a bit too hasty. This fellow was simply not suited for governing areas, and the disaster caused by the invasion of Vermillion Bird Empire this time was even more directly caused by him.

Initially, the Emperor had wanted to get rid of Sikong Caizhi directly, but after thinking about his many years of achievements, he wanted to give him another chance to achieve merits.

Thus, the Emperor gave an order for Sikong Caizhi to join the border guards to defend against the invasion of the Vermillion Bird Empire.

Speaking of Sikong Caizhi, he was indeed a fighting genius.

On the battlefield, it was also a great opportunity for him to retract his corpse. Whether it was the soldiers on his side or on his opponent’s side, they were all cultivators with cultivation bases. This would be of greater use to his zombie transformation.

Therefore, Sikong Caizhi fought valiantly on the battlefield, always charging in front and leading his soldiers to victory after victory, until the army that had invaded by the Vermillion Bird Empire was chased out of the country.

However, Sikong Caizhi did not stop there. At that time, he had once again become the general of an army, and under his suggestion, the commander at the front line agreed to let him lead his troops to pursue the Vermillion Bird Empire, and to seize the opportunity to take over the Vermillion Bird Empire’s territory.

But the marshal did not expect that Sikong Caizhi had actually wanted to chase after the remnants of the Vermillion Bird Empire.

He made this suggestion with the intention to kidnap all the troops.

Sure enough, during the chase, as the main general, Sikong Caizhi smoothly brought nearly ten thousand soldiers to the place he had prepared beforehand, which was the secret place where he had obtained the Exquisite Tower and the transformed zombie cultivation technique.

Here, Sikong Caizhi released his zombie army, taking advantage of the night, he sneakily attacked his subordinates and killed them all in their sleep, leaving a few of his trusted aides behind.

By the time those trusted aides noticed Sikong Caizhi’s actions, it was already too late. Nearly ten thousand of their great army had been wiped out, and the few of them were being heavily surrounded by the numerous zombies.

At this time, Sikong Caizhi appeared and told his trusted aides of his intentions, tempting them to become his Zombie General in order to live forever. This was also where the eight Zombie General in the first to eighth levels of the Exquisite Tower came from.

After that, Sikong Caizhi enlarged the Exquisite Tower and directly erected it underground. He himself, on the other hand, refined all of the corpses he had collected into zombies, and distributed them among the different levels of Exquisite Tower according to their strength.

In the end, Sikong Caizhi entered the coffin on the ninth floor and started to cultivate the first form of the Zombie Transformation.

When Lu Feng and the others had entered the Exquisite Tower, Sikong Caizhi had actually known about it since long ago, but he had only become the first transformation of his zombie. He had only cultivated it to half of the way, and was still a thousand and a thousand miles away from being able to successfully revive from the first transformation.

But Sikong Caizhi had never thought that Lu Feng and Xu Yeyue would actually fight their way to the ninth floor, and even succeeded in instigating his twelve female guards.

With this, even if Sikong Caizhi did not want to interrupt his cultivation, he had no choice but to stop for the moment. This was also the reason why the aura on Sikong Caizhi’s body was a little obscure and hard to understand.
