Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Lin Yi appeared on the ruins of Lanruo Temple with a gloomy expression.

However, before he could make a move, the spacetime vortex had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Along with Qiu Sheng, the wisp of divine thought that had been attached to the wooden statue also disappeared.

"Your Majesty." Yan Chixia stepped forward and bowed upon seeing Lin Yi appear.

At this moment, he had a bird's head and a human body, his wings were slightly folded, and divine light flowed around him. He now possessed the majestic presence of the bird-beaked Yin General.

"General Yan, there's no need for such formalities." Lin Yi waved his hand, then closed his eyes to carefully sense the surroundings.

Divine thoughts are derived from his soul and are one with him. Even if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, they can communicate with each other and respond instantly.

However, at this moment, that wisp of divine thought could no longer be contacted, as if it had completely evaporated from the world.

He tried to sense it several more times, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea—there was no response.

Lin Yi looked up at the sky, a feeling of dissatisfaction welling up in her heart.

The Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth is indeed recorded in Maoshan's classic texts.

That refers to a spacetime channel created by the clash of Yin and Yang forces under specific circumstances.

There is a similar saying among the people, which is "When the gates of hell open, heaven and earth are turned upside down". It means that at the place where yin and yang energies collide most violently, sometimes a gap will be torn open that even ghosts and gods cannot understand.

There was even a movie called "The Gate of Heaven and Earth" about this. In the movie, the hermit of the thatched cottage opened the Gate of Heaven and Earth when he fought with the Japanese Ghost King, allowing them to travel from the Ming Dynasty to Hong Kong Island in the 80s.

However, the paths of the Heavenly Gate are always random, some leading to the past and some to the future.

But this time, the passage neither sent his divine thoughts to the past nor to the future; instead, it banished them.

Because of his Three Buddhas nature, as long as he is unwilling, the time rules of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Gate cannot transfer him away, not even a wisp of his divine thought.

However, the divine sense is now completely undetectable, yet it has not been extinguished.

Then there is only one possibility—his divine sense and Qiu Sheng were thrown out of this world and drifted outside of this realm.

Regardless of whether fate was behind this kind of abnormal and unexpected situation, Lin Yi blamed it all on Him.

"Damn it! Fate, I've defiled your mother!" Lin Yi cursed inwardly.

Fate is a real devil; it destroyed his perfectly good mulberry tree and even took away a wisp of his divine consciousness in the process.

This debt will be settled sooner or later.

The story rewards for "A Chinese Ghost Story" have arrived.

And it's double portions!!

"Complete the storyline of A Chinese Ghost Story."

Kill the Yaksha Granny; Yan Chixia becomes a god and kills Nie Xiaoqian; destroy Jinhua Temple.

Plot disruption level: S+. Rewards:

Ability: Swordsmanship - Gain the ability to control a sword.

Ability: Bird Training. He can understand bird language and train birds.

Ability: Extreme Speed.

The moment the first reward information appeared in his mind, the second plot reward information followed, making Lin Yi's mind suddenly roused.

"Complete the storyline of A Chinese Ghost Story."

The divine consciousness possessed the Black Mountain in the underworld, cultivated for eight hundred years, and then took human form. After the immortals and gods suffered a calamity, the divine consciousness occupied the City of the Wrongfully Dead, becoming its master. The divine consciousness killed the tree demon Granny who came to claim her, and allowed female ghosts like Nie Xiaoqian to be reincarnated, thus concluding the subsequent plot.

The plot disruption level is S-level.

Reward: A time-space passage between the other world where your divine sense resides and this world. The passage will take 40 years to build and will allow you to freely travel between the two worlds once it is connected.

Note: The time flow ratio between the two worlds is 1:10.

Lin Yi looked at the second story reward and immediately became excited.

It turned out to be a cross-world storyline reward, and an extremely rare time-space portal at that.

He couldn't help but marvel at how much energy this system fragment contained, far exceeding his imagination; it could even capture plot rewards from another world.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying that being could destroy the system must be!

He had not yet experienced the depths of other worlds, nor did he know what level his strength was equivalent to in the myriad realms.

All I can say is that the road ahead is long and arduous.

Once this spacetime tunnel is completed, he will have the right to travel freely between the two worlds.

Although it will take another forty years, at least it is a way out, which is much better than those random time travels with no return.

With a time flow rate of only 1:10, the divine sense had already cultivated for eight hundred years. Could it be that it had some extraordinary experience?

However, he can't contact the divine sense right now, so he can only put aside his doubts for the time being.

Lin Yi looked at the words "Immortals and Gods Suffer Calamity" in the message again, and her heart sank slightly.

It seems that the other world is not peaceful either; even the gods have suffered.

However, on the other hand, if the immortals and gods had not suffered a calamity, the Black Mountain Demon, which was formed from his divine thought, would not have dared to openly occupy the City of the Wrongfully Dead.

That centipede demon national teacher would not dare to use the golden body of Buddha to swindle and deceive people in the human world.

I just wonder if that world will become a despairing world like the one in "The First Commandment" four hundred years from now—

Gods and Buddhas no longer exist, ghosts and monsters roam freely, and mortals eke out a living in the cracks.

However, no matter what, a new order will be established after he leaves.

He will rebuild the underworld system in that world, restoring the mortal realm and the underworld to the right path.

It's a pity that the wisp of divine consciousness exhausted its power to protect Qiu Sheng, that traitor; otherwise, it wouldn't have taken eight hundred years of arduous cultivation after possessing Heishan before finally taking human form.

However, that wisp of divine thought possesses most of his memories and perspectives, and if it truly grows up, it will definitely be much stronger than the original Black Mountain Demon.

As for Qiu Sheng, it's unknown whether that guy is still alive.

The temporal turbulence is so violent that even a divine sense can withstand it, but Qiu Sheng might not be able to.

But Lin Yi still hoped he would live.

After all, he had paid a lot of attention to Qiu Sheng, and if that guy could make a name for himself in the other world, he, as his mentor, would also benefit.

Lin Yi received the reward from the time-space portal, and a concrete countdown immediately appeared in her mind:

【39年364天23小时59分59秒……】

With a thought, he blocked the countdown and immediately turned his attention back to the first reward from "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Swordsmanship, bird-catching skills, and extreme speed.

These three abilities are somewhat similar to the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Divine Powers in the "Complete Record of Immortals Through the Ages".

Of course, this is an ability, an ability that can be mastered directly without cultivation; it might be more appropriate to call it an innate supernatural power.

Lin Yi accepted the offer without hesitation.

The three abilities merged into his body one by one.

As swordsmanship skills were integrated, a pure sword energy was born from his lung meridians.

Lin Yi felt a sudden tremor in his lungs, and a divine palace was opened up within his body.

The divine palace was filled with sharp sword intent and pure sword energy. In the center, a golden-red natal sword pellet full of Daoist charm was slowly taking shape.

This is the foundation of swordsmanship, and also an indestructible weapon capable of taking a person's head from a thousand miles away.

Lin Yi only needs to open his mouth and spit out the sword pellet, which will then transform into a streak of lightning and fly out to kill.

At the same time, countless pieces of knowledge about swordsmanship automatically surfaced in his mind.

How to use a sword, how to control a sword, how to nurture a sword, how to forge a sword, how to communicate with spirits, how to achieve oneness with the sword, how to open the Sword Dao Divine Palace and transform the sword spirit into a natal sword pill...

His body also strengthened slightly under the influence of the sword pellet.

The system was indeed powerful, taking this ability to its peak in one step.

What needs to be done next is to continuously nurture this sword pellet. It can be tempered with one's own power, or it can be infused with rare and precious materials.

In theory, this sword pellet can be strengthened indefinitely. And as the sword pellet is strengthened, it will also benefit its original owner, allowing them to progress together.

The moment the sword pellet formed, Yan Chixia's expression changed drastically.
