I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

Chapter 68: Evil Dark Element

In one of the sacred texts, a higher plane in a different dimension is said to exist since time immemorial. It was called the Middle Plane, and as its name suggests, then there should be a High Plane or something higher than that. Since the Qi energy was rumored to abound there, the average cultivation in that realm was rumored to be that of Transcendence Realm. Whereas in the normal world, the average cultivation is in the Mortal Realm. Long story short, this dimension is set to have Transcendence Realm as its base cultivation.

And since no one has entered the Transcendence Realm when I was alive, I never thought that it actually existed based on the legends. Who would have thought that that grandpa Ling would be able to reach Transcendence Realm before he died.

Tsk.

"So Grandpa Li- er I mean, Master Ling managed to access the Middle Plane? How was it, did he ever contact anyone here about it?" I asked, really excited about the good news that was brought to me. If this was true, then the Transcendence Realm is basically the start of the journey.

For a brief moment, I forgot everything about the Black Spirit Sect and the outbreak as I was fascinated by the news about the Middle Plane. If I could get there once I surpassed Transcendence Realm, then I should be able to survive and establish a branch of my Tang Sect there.

That would be pretty cool.

"A few cultivators have already contacted him but he was too fascinated with the Middle Plane that he decided to stay there for good." Shen Rong continued with disappointment in his eyes. "As such, the knowledge about the Middle Plane is still not known to us. I guess what Master Ling is implicating is that one should reach the Transcendence Realm and find it out for himself."

"What made you believe the Black Spirit Sect is in the Middle Plane now?" I couldn't help but ask. After all, from what he said, only the ones in the Transcendence Realm could get there.

"Because they have the largest collection of Transcendence Realm Cultivators." Shen Rong sighed in utter grievance. "I know it's hard to believe and you probably didn't know anything about it. But Master Ling wasn't the only one who managed to attain the highest cultivation level possible. A lot in the Black Spirit Sect managed to do it as well."

I put my chopsticks down and clasped my hands as I faced Shen Rong. It was true that the Black Spirit Sect had been a major power back in my days and a lot of their cultivators were almost on par with me back then. I was just only slightly stronger since I was nearing my breakthrough.

But even then, no one had the strength to touch the Black Spirit Sect. Although they are villainous and they've committed countless crimes, no one can defeat them. It may be on their constitution or maybe the martial arts they train speeds up their cultivation... but in any case, none can match their overall strength.

And now that my cultivation has reset, who knows if anyone could stand up to them right now?

"This is not good. If what you said is true, then they're probably increasing their influence in the Middle Plane right now. And if they'd want to, they can come back here and harass anyone they want. After all, they're much stronger than any Shelters combined."

"Yes, I fear for the worse. My master was one of the few who managed to uncover the true identity of the Black Spirit Sect and it's only a matter of time when they'll give me what's due of my master." Shen Rong continued. "That's the reason why I wanted to ally with Tang Shelter and with you. You have the potential, Yong Rui. With the correct guidance, I'm sure you'll easily reach the Transcendence Realm."

"Forgive me, Shelter Leader, but I really can't be your disciple. I have my ways when it comes to cultivation and also, I have enough resources to go up the Realms." I cupped my hands. "However, I do have one thing I want to ask of you,"

"Go ahead, if it's in my ability to do so then I will gladly entertain your question."

"Do you know anything about the Dark Element?" I straightforwardly asked.

Gasp!

Shen Rong almost fell backward as his pupils dilated. Wiping the sweat off his brows, he continued staring at me with doubt. "Why do you want to know about it?"

"Because I heard that the dark element and the blood element are newly discovered elements. Also, are there other newly discovered elements that I should become aware of?" I asked.

Shen Rong sighed in relief. Wu Yan worriedly glanced towards me but she kept quiet. I could tell that the Dark Element held such a secret and yet Liu Zhi and his party still decided to keep quiet about it. Or maybe, they were just too scared to go against me that they're trying to play it safe.

There's also the fact that I saved them from the horde so maybe, they saw me in a different light. Whichever the case, I don't think they'll be telling their Shelter Leader about my Dark Element any time soon.

"Aside from the Blood Element and Dark Element well, there aren't any more new elements. And also, both of these elements are so rare that it's so hard to encounter them." Shen Rong reconfirmed as he refilled his plate with food. "Blood Element grants you control over your blood, allowing you to wield the virus inside your body. Also, it grants you another Core, which slows down your cultivation but it increases your power output. I haven't refined my other Core yet unlike you, that's why you managed to injure me when you retaliated with your pressure."

"As for the Dark Element, it is such a scary Element that no one would even want to awaken it. This Dark Element grants you access to the power of darkness and lets you summon dark mythical beasts and the undead. It's just like a necromancer kind of but you don't have access to the dead. The Dark Element has never been fully studied unlike the Blood Element since most who awaken the Dark Element tend to lose their mind and kill themselves. It is rumored that the Dark Element has the power to make a cultivator skip realms in his cultivation, but the downside is that one's mind will get so corrupted that they will either drive himself crazy, kill himself, or join the tyrannical sects."

"And by that, I mean, most of the members of the Black Spirit Sect has awakened the dark element and they are quite proficient at it."
