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.
