Zombie King: Picking up a baby at the beginning is the reincarnation of the empress

Time passed slowly, and after seeing the farm that was now overgrown with weeds, Lu Chuan took Ji Ruxue and returned directly to Lijiang Base City.

As soon as they arrived at the Li River, the army of corpse puppets controlled by Lu Chuan suddenly stopped.

No, it wasn't that the wide Li River posed an obstacle to the army of corpse puppets. Rather, after devouring a large amount of alien flesh and blood, several seventh-tier corpse puppets under Lu Chuan's command began to advance to the eighth tier.

"Good, good, good! With this, my eighth-tier corpse puppets are about to break the tenth tier!"

Among the army of corpse puppets, Lu Chuan was extremely satisfied as he watched Undying No. 1, Water Control No. 1, and other corpse puppets advance to the eighth rank, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

It should be noted that this is an eighth-order corpse puppet. Even now, beings that can reach the eighth order are extremely rare.

Along the way, the number of alien insectoids they encountered that reached the eighth rank was only ten.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan took out a bag from the Devouring Heaven Pot, looked at the six eighth-order crystal cores inside, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

The eighth-order crystal cores here were basically accumulated by hunting sea beasts back and forth in the East China Sea.

With these eighth-order crystal cores, he could now consider advancing to the ninth order.

"Once I return to the base city, I'll start working on my advancement. At that time, even if I face a large number of Void Royals, I won't be afraid!"

Lu Chuan's eyes were resolute, and he made a decision in an instant.

The individual strength of the Void Royal Family members is very strong. If several thousand of them were to come, to be honest, even Lu Chuan's army of corpse puppets might not be able to eliminate them.

After all, the proportion of eighth-rank members in the Void Royal Family is very high. Often, there will be three or four eighth-rank members among a hundred people, and each one of them is extremely difficult to deal with.

It cannot be easily dealt with by sheer numbers, especially when there are a large number of eighth-tier Void Royals.

Only by breaking through to the ninth rank himself could Lu Chuan disregard these Void Royal Clans.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue turned back from the front, looked at the corpse puppets such as Yu Shui No. 1 whose aura had changed drastically, and said with a smile: "Dad, congratulations on your zombies breaking through to the eighth level!"

"By the way, I've already built the bridge; you can cross now."

Ji Ruxue turned around and pointed to the river in front of her.

Ahead, on the river, stood a wide rock bridge, condensed by Ji Ruxue's mental power, spanning north and south.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan looked towards the stone bridge and nodded slightly.

"Let's go! Once we cross the bridge, we'll go home."

The two then got into the off-road vehicle and followed the army of corpse puppets, crossing the stone bridge to the other side.

Not far across the river was the former Lijiang city area, but the city had long been devoured by Lu Chuan, leaving it completely desolate.

Lu Chuan had no intention of passing through the city center. He led his army of corpse puppets and quickly approached the base city.

Before long, the base city with its towering walls was already in sight.

"roar~"

Just then, an excited roar came from afar, followed by a slight, continuous tremor in the earth.

A huge purple figure, resembling a ball of flesh, rushed rapidly towards the army of corpse puppets.

It was by obeying orders that Thunder Roar guarded the base city.

At this moment, Thunder Roar sensed Ji Ruxue's return through its connection with her and excitedly rushed to greet her. Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue naturally sensed the commotion immediately.

"This guy seems even fatter than he was a month ago, since no one's feeding him!"

Watching Thunder Roar, which was rolling wildly on the ground like a ball of flesh, Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly, wondering if Thunder Roar had eaten pig feed to grow so fast.

"It's Thunder Roar!"

Ji Ruxue smiled as she watched Thunder Roar approaching, then quickly flew out of the car and rushed towards it.

"Hehe, you fat guy, at least you have the heart to come out and greet me!"

Ji Ruxue flew to Thunder Roar, rubbed its big head with her hand, and said with satisfaction.

"Roar~~"

When Thunder Roar saw its master again, it was very affectionate, constantly nuzzling Ji Ruxue's palm with its head.

Upon seeing this, Ji Ruxue immediately stretched out both hands and hugged Thunder Roar's fluffy head to show her affection.

"Dad, I'm going back with this guy first!"

Then, Ji Ruxue sat on the back of Thunder Roar, turned around and waved to Lu Chuan behind her.

No sooner had the words been spoken than Thunder Roar let out an excited roar, carrying its master back quickly to the base city.

At this moment, Thunder Roar, who had already traveled a great distance at the seventh level, was moving at an astonishing speed. In just a few minutes, he delivered Ji Ruxue to the gate of Lijiang Base City.

Ji Ruxue did not choose to return to the previous villa immediately. Instead, she touched the Bodhi tree crown on her head and decided to find a home for this sacred Bodhi tree first.

Although the Bodhi Tree can transform into a canopy that resembles an inanimate object, it also means that in this canopy state, the Bodhi Tree does not grow at all. In this state, growth is completely stagnant, and it has no effect on enlightenment whatsoever.

Next, Thunder Roar carried Ji Ruxue to the very back of the base city, where the land was flat and the space was spacious, making it perfect for replanting the Bodhi Sacred Tree.

Soon, Ji Ruxue found a spot next to the artificial pond, called out to the remaining Thunder Roars, and stopped.

Next, Ji Ruxue used her mental power to transform into a seemingly indestructible giant hand, which slammed downwards, creating a huge crater in the ground.

Having determined that the size of the pit was appropriate, Ji Ruxue activated her mental power, instantly revitalizing the seemingly lifeless Bodhi tree canopy.

In an instant, the golden light of the Bodhi tree crown shone brilliantly, and a golden spiritual root was fully revealed before our eyes.

Then, with a thought, Ji Ruxue successfully placed the Bodhi Sacred Tree into the pit. Immediately afterwards, Ji Ruxue used her mental power to fill the Bodhi Sacred Tree with soil again.

The Bodhi tree, whose leaves had already begun to wither, was instantly revitalized the moment it was planted in the soil, and a dazzling golden light spread outwards in concentric circles.

Then, Ji Ruxue couldn't wait to sit under the Bodhi Tree, bathing in the golden holy light.

Gradually, a rich power of laws began to flow around Ji Ruxue, quickly immersing her in the comprehension of this power.

During this process, Ji Ruxue was in a semi-drunken state, overwhelmed by the power of the laws.

However, at the same time, Ji Ruxue's aura began to rise steadily, and her cultivation level rapidly increased, soon reaching the peak of the eighth rank.

Sensing the ninth-tier barrier as solid as rock, Ji Ruxue didn't press the matter and directly gave up her attempt to advance.

For evolved beings, advancing to the ninth rank is not an easy feat!
