Is this what a zombie is?

84. It's better to copy than to learn on the spot.

He leaned on the railing and struggled to sit up, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

The scene just now was too realistic. Could it be that the scene he saw with the help of the Resurrection Incense... was something that would happen in the future?

Just then, Li Lianying's earlier words flashed through his mind like lightning.

"One has the destiny of the Purple Star Emperor, and the other has the destiny of the Grand Duke Jupiter; they actually managed to have fun together."

Tai Sui Destiny...

A space made of flesh and blood...

That evil consciousness that wants to take over my body...

Fragments spun rapidly through his throbbing brain, eventually piecing together a chilling and terrifying truth that sent shivers down his spine.

Li Lianying went to great lengths to set a trap and ensnare himself here; his true purpose was...

He probably used himself as a vessel, or a sacrifice, to offer himself to that evil consciousness in order to achieve his goal.

As Jiang Chen recovered from the excruciating pain, he noticed a fluffy, dark sphere at his feet. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was none other than Cat Master.

The long-lost Cat Master has finally reappeared.

The two, a human and a cat, stared at each other through the iron bars.

Jiang Chen didn't speak, but just stared at it coldly. He was angry, so he stubbornly refused to talk.

Cat felt uncomfortable being stared at, and was somewhat guilty, his tail uncontrollably curling into a smoke ring shape.

After a long while, Cat Master coughed lightly, taking the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Don't look at me like that. I just sent my location to Attorney Luo. With his help in communicating with the Four Spirits Family, it will save a lot of time. I guess the Four Spirits Family is already on their way."

Since Cat Master has already offered a way out, what else can Jiang Chen do but forgive it? Besides, there's no time to argue about it right now.

Jiang Chen turned his gaze and it landed on Ai Yi, who was standing to the side.

"Did you foresee this day coming when you made him practice the Nine Dragons Visualization Diagram?"

Cat Master flicked his tail. "I was just being prepared. Besides, it doesn't matter anymore. He only practices sporadically; what difference does it make if he doesn't practice at all?"

"If he had really mastered the Nine Dragons Diagram, even just a little bit, he wouldn't be so tightly controlled right now, unable to move at all."

As the person being discussed, Ai Yi rolled her eyes wildly, the whites of her eyes almost reaching the sky, clearly extremely dissatisfied with this assessment.

He even tried to make a sound to defend himself, but after trying for a long time, nothing came of it.

The man and the cat tacitly ignored his silent protest.

"I just used the Resurrection Incense and saw something."

Jiang Chen got straight to the point and revealed the information he possessed.

"Li Lianying arrested me to use me as a vessel. He mentioned before that I have a Tai Sui destiny. Are there any other Tai Sui besides him?"

Cat's pupils shrank to slits. It never expected that Jiang Chen had already deduced almost everything about the incident based on just a few scattered clues.

"Yes." Master Cat's tone was very solemn. "What you saw should be the Blood Coral Tai Sui. It seems that Li Lianying had already reached a cooperation agreement with it, and both sides benefited from it."

"The Blood Coral Tai Sui has devoured too much flesh and blood, making its body bloated and unbearable. Moreover, its seal has not been broken, so it should only have escaped a small portion."

"In this state, it needs a container, and you, who possess the Tai Sui destiny, are an excellent container."

Jiang Chen keenly grasped the key points of this information.

"It's sealed away..."

"That's right. It's almost impossible to kill or completely destroy, so sealing it away is the best option."

Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and a bold idea instantly took shape.

"Master Cat, do you know that sealing formation? Or, could you tell me the principles behind it?"

Cat Master was stunned for a moment, then understood Jiang Chen's thoughts.

"You want to learn something new and then try it out?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Please, that's the Four Symbols Seal. Without a systematic inheritance and years of study, it's not that easy to learn. You don't have that much time either."

The implication is that it won't either.

"You won't be okay."

Jiang Chen interrupted it.

"Just copy the answers."

Cat Master instantly understood what Jiang Chen meant.

"Copyright copy?"

"That's right, just copy it. You just need to copy the answers for me, and I'll handle the rest."

Jiang Chen was quite confident in his learning ability and comprehension.

Of course, the greatest confidence comes from the Golden Finger Resurrection Incense.

Time is running out, but there's no need to panic. He can use the power of the Resurrection Incense to deduce the outcome.

Even if I fail countless times, I'm not afraid; I just need to succeed once.

Cat Master paced around the iron cage a couple of times, seemingly assessing the feasibility of the plan.

"You certainly have the talent to apply what you've learned..." Cat Master finally relented, transforming into a black shadow and disappearing from the spot: "Just you wait!"

Less than half an hour later, the shadowy figure returned.

Cat Lord leaped onto Jiang Chen's shoulder and slapped him on the forehead with one paw.

A massive flow of information instantly flooded his brain. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—the nodes of the Four Symbols Formation, the flow of spiritual energy, and the sealing logic—were displayed in meticulous detail in Jiang Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

Mystical formations may seem obscure and difficult to understand to ordinary people, but in Jiang Chen's eyes, they are nothing more than an extremely complex circuit diagram or a mathematical formula.

Formulas are something that, once you know how to apply them, can be disregarded.

With his eyes closed, Jiang Chen began to deconstruct the structure.

Meridians are conductors, acupoints are nodes, and the plasma heart is the power source.

He intended to use the lightning strike patterns within his body to forcibly replace the spiritual energy circulation of the Four Symbols Seal.

For the next few hours, the Faraday cage was deathly silent.

After an unknown amount of time, heavy footsteps came from outside the side hall; it was Li Lianying entering.

Following behind him were four silver-skinned zombies, silver-armored zombies, and several bloodless walking corpses.

Li Lianying waved his hand, and four silver-armored corpses stepped forward to lift the Faraday cage.

The remaining zombies lifted Ai up and took the eight sleeping babies, along with their cradles, with them.

This unusual group ventured deeper underground.

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged in the cage, swaying slightly with the steps of the silver-armored corpse.

He did not put up any futile resistance, since resistance was useless, so all he had to do was accept it calmly.

The further down you go, the stronger the chilling atmosphere becomes.

The ghastly green zombie fungus on the rock face became increasingly dense, almost forming a breathing green carpet.

After descending several hundred meters, the view suddenly opened up.

What comes into view is a magnificent underground mausoleum.

Along the way, Jiang Chen really wanted to complain: why do they always like to dig tombs so deep? Aren't they afraid of them collapsing?
