Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

In the blink of an eye, countless years have passed.

Now, somewhere in the sea of ​​blood.

This time, a special piece of land appeared. This land was formed by special supernatural powers, and countless jet-black trees were planted in the blood-red sea. These trees contained special Daoist charms and a cold aura, faintly carrying a kind of roar.

The source of this wood is a special city. The entire city is a single entity, crafted using the divine material of Taiyin, and interwoven with numerous unique array patterns, making it appear quite mysterious. In terms of quality, this treasure also possesses the qualities of a supreme acquired treasure.

Within the city walls now lies a floating continent, carrying numerous divine souls. These souls are buried beneath the earth, their negative energy gradually being absorbed.

Houtu, embodying the earth's energy, merged it with the Blood Sea Divine Soul: "My little husband... you've toiled for so many years, refining so many divine souls. You even relied on the Taiyin Divine Material to forge this entire city. And then you planted so many Soul-Nourishing Trees—what are you ultimately trying to do?"

Ling Dan pondered, "To create another race! The birth of the Asura race has given me a glimmer of hope, an opportunity. I want to give it a try..."

"A recreated race? What race?" Houtu was also curious, wondering what her little husband wanted to do.

Ling Dan didn't hide anything and said, "I want to create a race that cultivates using their souls, commonly known as the Ghost Race!"

"The Ghost Clan?" Houtu fell into deep thought.

Ling Dan nodded, then mentally transmitted her Creation Avatar: "Creation Avatar, have you finished deduce the Ghost Clan's method of creation?"

"I... combining your memories of the descriptions of the Ghost Clan, I have deduced the method of their birth. Legend has it that the Ghost Clan are souls that, before their lives ended, carried a trace of obsession and remained in the mortal realm. They absorb the Yin energy of heaven and earth and transform it into special creatures using the Taiyin energy. In addition, the Ghost Clan fears sunlight, so they need to absorb the Yang energy of living people in order to gradually become visible in the daytime."

Therefore, after much deduction and combining the Great Dao of Yin and the Great Dao of Yang, the method for the birth of the Ghost Clan was finally created. With a fragmented soul, carrying obsession, it draws upon the energy of Yin, intertwines with a trace of the energy of Yang, and, accompanied by creation, merges into the Soul-Nourishing Wood, thus proliferating.

The Creation Avatar spoke slowly, which excited and filled Ling Dan with anticipation.

Immediately, Ling Dan unleashed the Great Dao of Stars, drawing upon the light of the stars to envelop those pure, remnant souls. Those remnant souls, guided by the starlight, gradually regained a sliver of consciousness.

Driven by the obsessions of his past life, he was passively devoured by the light of the stars.

Ling Dan then drew upon the Yin energy and merged it into the remnant soul. The remnant soul used the Yin energy to cleanse and repair itself.

As it was repaired, Ling Dan gradually sent it into the Soul Nourishing Wood.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed.

Within the Soul-Nourishing Wood, the dormant remnant soul has been completely restored. It has transformed into a newborn soul, filled with Yin energy and also with a strange aura.

This aura, intertwined with Daoist principles, seemed poised for birth.

Ling Dan knew that this newborn soul was just one step away from being born.

"The Great Sun True Fire, fused with essence and blood, transforms into a rising flame, fused into the soul..." Ling Dan murmured, a wisp of essence and blood appearing at his fingertips, enveloping pure yang energy, flying towards the Soul Nourishing Wood in the distance.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

The Soul-Nourishing Wood seemed to have been burned by flames and baptized by the passage of time, emitting such sounds as it gradually melted away.

Not only that, but within the Soul-Nourishing Wood, the souls themselves emitted painful roars and piercing screams.

That feeling was as if I was about to be destroyed.

As it burned, the soul within became increasingly pure.

Ling Dan sensed the changes and unleashed her power: "Fate guides, condensing the divine soul; Great Sun Divine Fire ignites the soul fire; the ghost race is born..."

In an instant, the Creator cleansed the Soul-Nourishing Wood, merging it into the soul. At that moment, the soul, guided by the Creator's power, gradually solidified within it as it burned.

At that moment, a serene woman, accompanied by a whooshing sound and a scream, flew out from the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

The woman was dressed in white, with a pale face and a touch of blush on her cheeks; her beauty was like jade.

A divine fire ignited in her eyes as she gazed at Ling Dan and then at Hou Tu.

She flew in: "The Ghost Clan... pays homage to Father God Lingdan and Mother Goddess Houtu. Grant the Ghost Clan new life..."

She is a member of the Ghost Clan, the first Ghost Clan created by Ling Dan.

The Ghost Clan was born from remnant souls and cultivated themselves into cultivators who exist solely in this form. They are cultivators who specialize in cultivating their divine souls.

Ling Dan gazed at the ghost, sensing her changes, and couldn't help but say, "Good, good... After much effort, the Ghost Clan has finally been created. Heaven and Earth above, today I, Ling Dan of the Xuanmen, with endless remnant souls intertwined with obsessions, create a race, named: the Ghost Clan..."

In an instant, the sound of the Dao resounded, spreading throughout heaven and earth, and into the long river of the Great Dao.

At that moment, heaven and earth were enveloped, and the spirit was filled with boundless joy.

At that moment, countless remnant souls roared with obsession.

At that moment, countless remnant souls knelt in worship towards Ling Dan across the vast, desolate land.

At that moment, boundless divine light of merit descended and flew towards Ling Dan.

Such immense merit has once again amazed many great beings.

"What? Another race has been born?"

"The Asura race before, and now the Ghost race? What exactly happened in the Blood Sea Land? Why did two races emerge in such a short time, and even become races recognized by Heaven and Earth!"

"It's Ling Dan again! He never stops causing trouble!"

"How strange... The Asura race, created by Ling Dan, could feed on the blood and evil energy of heaven and earth. Now, a Ghost race has emerged, which uses the impure energy of heaven and earth, intertwined with Yin energy, to create a special kind of energy, commonly known as Ghost Energy. This energy is the energy cultivated by the Ghost race!"

"I see... The primordial world contains a lot of negative energy. But the most abundant are bloodlust, resentment, and filth. Currently, bloodlust is represented by the Asura race, and filth by the Ghost race. The primordial world will be cleaner in the future!"

"Indeed... the emergence of a ghost race that can absorb the filth of heaven and earth is beneficial to the entire primordial world. No wonder it has gained merit."

"Speaking of which, Ling Dan created two races that resolved the issues of filth and bloodlust. Could he then create a race that can resolve resentment?"

"Who knows? But this is just too much merit!"

While many cultivators pondered, Ling Dan chose to collect her merits.

The merit bestowed upon the Asura clan upon their birth was 40% of the merit from creating humans. However, of the Asura merits, Styx received 40%, Lingdan received 40%, and Houtu received 20%.

Now, the merit of the birth of the Ghost Clan is equivalent to forty percent of the merit of creating humans. Of this merit, a full eighty percent goes to Ling Dan, and twenty percent goes to Hou Tu.

Ling Dan concealed all her accumulated merits.

The first demon, now speaking with respect, said, "Congratulations, Father God, for gaining merit. Your cultivation will greatly advance from this day forward..."

Ling Dan smiled slightly, then asked, "Will you call me Father God?"

"Yes, the Father God created the demon race; he is the Father God of the demon race." This demon said very seriously.

"My little husband...you are already the father god of the human race, and now you have become the father god of the ghost race." Houtu smiled and said casually.

"You're the same. You'll become the Mother Goddess of the Ghost Clan." Ling Dan smiled casually, looking at the first Ghost Clan member before her: "Since you call me Father God, then I'll give you a name. From now on, you'll be called 'Qian You.' A Ghostly Woman..."

"A Chinese Ghost Story? Thank you for the name bestowed upon me by the Father God..." Qianyou said respectfully.

"Hmm... I will pass on to you the cultivation method of the Ghost Clan. From now on, the affairs of the Ghost Clan will be managed by you." Ling Dan said, handing over the deduced cultivation method of the Ghost Clan to Qian You, entrusting her with the management of the Ghost Clan's affairs.

Qianyou nodded: "Yes, Father God!"

Then, Qianyou withdrew to handle various matters concerning the ghost clan.

Now, Ling Dan is once again lost in thought.

Houtu stared intently and asked, "What... after creating the Ghost Clan, are you going to create another race?"

"Not bad... The Asura clan resolved the bloodlust energy, and the Ghost clan resolved the filth energy. There is still a lingering resentment energy that has not been resolved." Ling Dan pondered, speaking silently.

"A race that feeds on resentment? How do you plan to create it?" Houtu couldn't help but ask, as she was not surprised that her little husband would create a race.

Ling Dan smiled slightly: "Creating a race and solving some problems in the primordial world has yielded so much merit. This will greatly help me achieve Hunyuan in the future and rise against the tide. Therefore, this race that devours resentment must be created. And I have some ideas on how to create it!"

Ling Dan never expected that creating the Asura race and the Ghost race would bring her so much merit.

For the sake of merit and future attainment of Hunyuan.

Ling Dan was determined to create a third race to devour resentment.

Thinking of this, Ling Dan's mind was in turmoil: "Creation Avatar... collect information about the zombie race from my memories, and try to deduce how the zombie race was created."

"My Lord... do you wish to create a zombie race to devour resentment?" the Creation Avatar couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed... Zombies feed on the resentment of heaven and earth, are immortal, and travel beyond the Three Realms and Six Paths... This description is most suitable for absorbing the resentment of the primordial world." Ling Dan pondered, thinking of the many disdainful things about zombies.

"That being said, there are too many legends about zombies. Jiang Chen, Hanba, Ying Gou, Hou Qing... the four legendary zombies seem to have been born from different sources. In addition, zombies feed on blood. Furthermore, they are also buried by the Great Dao of Death..." the Creation Avatar explained.

"I know. But I'll try to deduce it and think of a way." Ling Dan said, then turned to look at Hou Tu.

Houtu, being stared at by Ling Dan, replied casually, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ling Dan looked at his wife: "Sister Houtu... can you help me one more time? Evolve a miniature primordial world, merge with the Great Dao of Death, and bury several intact physical bodies."

"Burying the physical body, the Great Dao of Death? What is the connection between your desire to create a race that devours resentment and the Great Dao of Death?" Houtu knew Lingdan's thoughts, so she asked as well.

"I'm just starting out, and I'm only doing practical work. I need to gradually improve how it works," Ling Dan said after thinking for a moment.

"Of course. Evolving such a shrunken primordial world is a piece of cake for me." Houtu didn't object; she just let Ling Dan do as he pleased.

Ling Dan nodded, also thinking about how to find a good physical body. After all, to create a zombie race, the stronger the cultivator's physical body, the stronger the zombie they would create.

Thinking of this, Ling Dan also pondered the races he had collected. Indeed, countless races had fallen in the great war. Some of these races had been captured by Ling Dan and turned into resources. He wanted to find suitable bodies among them to transform into zombies.

Ultimately, Ling Dan chose several special races, including the Cloud Swamp Thunder Clan and the Fighting Saint Ape Clan...

The physical bodies of many powerful races were placed into a shrunken primordial world filled with the Great Dao of Death. In addition, endless resentment and a little bit of good fortune were also poured in.

Let's see if we can use this method to create zombies.
