#608 - Special way of cultivation; rare item; sacrifice; (6000)

At this moment, Zhang Zhi couldn't help but ask, "So, all those vampire-related incidents in Yicheng over the years were related to you?"

Hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the headmaster glanced at Zixia beside him, then slowly shook his head: "No, it has little to do with me. Those things wouldn't require me to act, and as a 'human traitor,' only the higher-ups of the vampires know of my existence."

"Those things were all done by the vampires themselves. I only assisted those vampires in certain important matters."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi exhaled and pondered for a while before asking, "Headmaster, as far as I know, the vampires have abandoned their plan of substitution, and even their old nest."

"In fact, I vaguely remember someone saying that the vampires in the main world should be dealt with."

"So why are there still vampires in Yicheng?"

"Why are you still lurking within the vampires?"

"Didn't the headmaster of Yunhu University convey this order to you?"

"Or is there some other reason?"

Hearing this, the headmaster slowly shook his head: "No, some time ago, the vampires suddenly went into hibernation for some reason."

"The organization initially thought that the vampires might be planning something big, so they didn't close the net, but hoped that we could find out their purpose."

"That's why there are still vampires here."

"That's why I continued to lurk within the vampires."

'And recently, the vampires have become active again.'

"At this time, we learned that the vampires had moved their nest to another place for some reason."

"This made all our previous work wasted."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi felt a little embarrassed, thinking that this was his fault. He casually made up an excuse to scare the vampires, and as a result, he scared them away.

However, he still had a question in his mind, so he slowly interrupted, "Headmaster, I have a question."

"As far as I know, the strength of these vampires doesn't seem to be that great. We only need to directly cut off the tentacles that the vampires extend to our human race. Why must we dig out the vampire's nest?"

"Moreover, the price paid to dig out this vampire's nest seems to be quite high."

"Just like you, because of the vampires, you came to such a remote place, and you have to pretend to be a 'human traitor' and feign compliance with the vampires."

"Moreover, there are quite a few people like you."

The headmaster smiled and shook his head, saying, "If I hadn't come here, I might not have seen such an excellent disciple like you."

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "As for your question, it's okay to tell you with your current status."

"This is mainly related to a strange object in the hands of the vampires."

Speaking of this, the headmaster paused, then asked Zhang Zhi, "Don't you think that the vampire's method of converting other intelligent creatures into their own race through initial embrace is a very peculiar existence within the multiverse?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi blinked his eyes, and his mind turned slightly, then he understood what the headmaster meant.

Indeed, within this multiverse, this method of changing the race of other intelligent creatures without replacing their souls is indeed very peculiar.

It was because I had learned about the vampire's methods on Earth that I didn't think there was anything to be surprised about.

But in this multiverse, the similar races I know don't have such magical abilities.

Mind Flayers use various spells to control and enslave other intelligent creatures, but in fact, those intelligent creatures are not Mind Flayers.

The Three-Eyed Race actually plants a seed within the soul of intelligent creatures, and then directly breeds from the other party's soul. In fact, what comes out is the Three-Eyed Race, not the previous intelligent creature.

From this point of view, the vampire's method is indeed more bizarre.

The headmaster's words meant that the vampire's possession of this ability seemed to be related to a certain strange object?

The layout of the headmaster of Yunhu University against the vampires was actually due to that strange object?

After pondering for a while, he slowly nodded and said, "Indeed, the vampire's method of simply inputting their blood essence into the bodies of other intelligent races can turn other intelligent races into their own race, and also control them. This method is indeed very peculiar."

The headmaster nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that the vampires possess this ability because of a treasure of their clan."

"They hope that they can sort out a special cultivation path so that if other intelligent creatures cultivate this path, they will transform into the human race in appearance and soul, and become a member of our human race."

After listening to the headmaster's words, Zhang Zhi was a little dumbfounded, thinking that the human race really has many capable people and strangers, and they really dare to think!

But don't even mention it, if you can really open up such a path, you will definitely have a lot of luck and merit.

It's not just a matter of luck and merit. If you have such a path, you can assimilate other alien races on a large scale.

In this way, the resistance encountered by the human race in 'unifying' the entire multiverse will definitely be much smaller.

It is not unacceptable to pay a certain price for this cultivation path.

No wonder why the human race has always tolerated the existence of the vampire race.

No wonder why the headmaster of Yunhu University started planning and laying out against the vampires so early.

No wonder why vampires still appear frequently near Yicheng at this stage.

It turns out this is the reason.

If such a cultivation path can be created, the headmaster of Yunhu University in charge of this matter may even be promoted to the main god.

And the headmaster and other executors will definitely be able to obtain considerable benefits in the process.

Sure enough, none of the forces that can become universities in the main world of the human race are simple!

Just like Xia Yun University's targeting of the Xia Yun Law and the Death God Law, Feng Jing University's targeting of the Yu Kun, and countless layouts that I don't understand yet.

This layout against the vampires is definitely just one of Yunhu University's layouts over the years. With so many similar layouts, as long as one or two are successful, it will be enough to make the entire school, and even the entire human race, have a qualitative leap.

These layouts must have failures, but as long as there are one or two successes, the school and the human race will benefit endlessly.

And the human race is becoming stronger and stronger in these big forces' successes.

Although there are such and such drawbacks within the human race, there is a reason why it can become stronger and stronger.

It's just, just...

It's just a pity for those who were sacrificed in the layout process.

For example, those kidnapped children, such as the headmaster back then, such as the missing orphanage directors.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhi looked up at the headmaster and then asked, "Headmaster, what will happen to those children kidnapped by the vampires?"

Hearing Zhang Zhi's question, the headmaster smiled and nodded, saying, "I knew you would ask this question."

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much about this."

"You should be able to guess the vampire's purpose in kidnapping them, right?"

Zhang Zhi pondered for a moment, and his heart suddenly dawned. The vampires kidnapped these human children, probably wanting to brainwash them and make them vampire slaves.

After all, the vampire's purpose is to cultivate those children into world masters controlled by them, not to develop them into vampires.

So, those children are basically not in much danger.

After all, in a remote country, it is not easy to find a qualified child with no background.

Um, by the way, judging from the headmaster's experience, maybe some of the children were arranged by the organization the headmaster was in beforehand.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhi's originally somewhat depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

However, although he had figured out the key, he still asked, "What is the mortality rate of those kidnapped children?"

The headmaster shook his head slightly: "You also know how difficult it is for vampires to kidnap a child with high qualifications in the current situation."

"Those children who were kidnapped by them were all selected by them and have the potential to be promoted to the Thousand Worlds. They are so precious that they can't bear to kill them."

Speaking of this, the headmaster paused, "However, although those children will be fine, some of the other people who hinder their plans will still have accidents."

He looked up at Zhang Zhi: "Although I know this is cruel, there is no way. If we can find that strange object from the vampire's nest and deduce a cultivation path that can transform other races into the human race, we can avoid sacrificing more people in the future."

Zhang Zhi sighed after hearing these words.

Although he now has some right to know about the human race's higher-ups, he is still far from being able to make comments.

Especially for this kind of plan involving alien races and a large amount of manpower and material resources, let alone whether he has the right to question it, even if he does, Zhang Zhi would not question it casually.

He was thinking in his heart that the vampire clan would definitely leave clues after escaping from the Ten Thousand Races area, and maybe he could find some traces.

Also, the vampires have not moved from the Ten Thousand Races area for long.

Maybe they are in an area near the Ten Thousand Races area. When there is a human race realm existence going to the Ten Thousand Races area, he can suggest that existence search a few worlds near the Ten Thousand Races area.

However, Zhang Zhi was still a little admired for the decisiveness of the Blood God back then. After learning that there were human races appearing in the Ten Thousand Races area, he immediately abandoned all the worlds they occupied and ran away.

From this point of view, the Blood God among the vampires can also be regarded as a decisive hero, no wonder he is still alive now.

At this time, the headmaster glanced at the thoughtful Zhang Zhi and suddenly said something that surprised Zhang Zhi a little: "Actually, you had already entered the organization's and the vampire's sight back then."

"If that guy Li Qianjun hadn't taken you away back then, you should have entered the organization and also infiltrated the vampires."

"However, it was fortunate that Li Qianjun took you away back then, otherwise, if you entered the organization and went to the vampire's interior to be an undercover agent, my human race would have lost a talented genius, which would definitely be a great loss to my human race."

Zhang Zhi was really surprised to hear these words from the headmaster, but after thinking about it, it was true. He was indeed an excellent seedling for going undercover back then, with no family, no background, and no reliance.

And for vampires, an orphan like himself, who grew up in an orphanage and has been struggling at the bottom, is indeed the best brainwashing target.

Um?

Then, he suddenly realized something. If he didn't have the golden finger back then, he would definitely not be able to escape from the Black Wolf Gang back then.

If the vampires suddenly appeared at that time and rescued him from the Black Wolf Gang, would he fall to the vampire's side?

After thinking about it slightly, Zhang Zhi shook his head slightly, probably not.

The reason is very simple, he is not a fool, and he will definitely suspect whether the kidnapping was planned by the vampires behind the scenes?

In fact, Zhang Zhi has always suspected that the matter back then had something to do with the vampires.

After learning that vampires like to kidnap children, and Zhang Zhi happened to find a lot of children locked up in the Black Wolf Gang back then, Zhang Zhi was even more certain that this matter had something to do with vampires.

Therefore, if vampires want to brainwash him with these methods alone, they should go to sleep.

From this point of view, he still has to thank His Majesty Li Qianjun.

If he goes to the organization where the headmaster is, his development is impossible to be so fast, and it is impossible to be able to connect with Professor Confucius and the others.

Um?

Not necessarily!

If his mission is to infiltrate the vampires, then he will definitely know that it is the vampire's lair when he is in the Ten Thousand Races area.

And the human race's higher-ups have been looking for the vampire's lair.

Maybe he can find the vampire's special channel that can be transferred from the Ten Thousand Races area to the main world area.

As long as he finds that channel and locates it well, at this time, maybe the vampires have been wiped out.

And he, as the greatest hero, may be received by Professor Zhuangzi.

It is not possible for him, as the Qi Luck person of this generation of the human race, to be accepted as a disciple by Professor Zhuangzi.

Eh?

So, these are two different paths that he may have taken back then?

It seems that they have the same goal by different routes.

Of course, the other path is only Zhang Zhi's speculation. Maybe he will fall halfway, after all, there are too many variables in dealing with alien races that are stronger than him.

However, Zhang Zhi was still concerned about the vampire. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Principal, so Yicheng won't be dealing with these vampires in the short term?"

The principal pondered for a moment and then said, "Because of you, there shouldn't be too many vampires appearing in Yicheng."

"As for other cities, the higher-ups don't plan to close the net yet. Instead, they plan to find the vampires' lair before taking action."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi thought for a moment and said, "The vampires' lair shouldn't be within our world's region, right?"

"Even if you find their lair, you can't do anything to them in the short term. I feel like this is a bit of a futile effort."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the principal shook his head in disagreement. "If we can really find that unique item from the vampires' lair, how could what we're doing be a futile effort?"

"As for how the higher-ups will handle things after finding the vampires' lair, that's not something we should be considering."

"But, no matter what, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance of opening up a cultivation path that allows other alien races to transform into humans, I think our sacrifices are worth it."

Zhang Zhi remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

After discussing the topic of vampires, Zhang Zhi didn't stay long and bid farewell to the principal.

After leaving the school, Zhang Zhi returned to the orphanage.

During his conversation with the principal, he learned that the principal had used the excuse that Yicheng had produced a genius who entered Fengjing University, causing Yicheng to be noticed by many people, and rejected the vampires' series of actions in Yicheng.

Therefore, Yicheng, for the time being, doesn't seem to have much risk.

After telling the old director not to worry too much, Zhang Zhi left Yicheng.

Before entering the teleportation hall, Zhang Zhi turned his head and glanced in the direction of the school.

In fact, as an old fox who had lived two lives, Zhang Zhi could naturally perceive some things from his conversation with the principal.

For example, after learning that he could communicate directly with the main god who decided all alien race affairs, Professor Zhuangzi, the principal temporarily decided to tell him some of the movements and affairs within his organization.

Clearly, he was worried that because Yicheng and the nearby cities had been harassed by vampires, Zhang Zhi would go to Professor Zhuangzi and ask him to directly put an end to the vampire issue. Therefore, he told him so much and explained so much.

At the same time, he also emphasized that even if the thing they were planning had a low probability of success, he and his companions were willing to do it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't, and couldn't have told him about the inside story of Yunhu University's layout against vampires over the years.

Vampires are now not even a minor nuisance to the human race. As the principal, his first benefactor, he naturally wouldn't go to Professor Zhuangzi and gossip about such a small request.

Sighing, Zhang Zhi gently shook his head and slowly stepped onto the teleportation array to Seven Dragon Prefecture.

He had originally planned to go to Yuzhang, but now it seemed like he should forget about it.

He shouldn't disrupt the plans of the principal and the many cultivators within his organization.

After all, they had made enough sacrifices to find the vampires' lair.

Moreover, it was his unintentional mistake that almost caused their years of hard work to go down the drain.

This time, the vampires reappeared, preventing the principal's years of planning from failing. They must be nervous about this.

He shouldn't cause any more trouble for the principal and them.

As for the Myriad Races Region, after the grand gathering ends, there should be a main god realm existence going there. After there is a main god realm existence there, he can spend energy to investigate the traces of vampires.

Zhang Zhi didn't believe that all the vampires within the Myriad Races Region had left. They would definitely leave some spies to pay attention to the human race's things and investigate whether the main world's human race really went to the Myriad Races Region.

If he rashly started collecting the traces of vampires now, he might startle the snake again.

After returning to Seven Dragon Prefecture, Zhang Zhi didn't run around and directly stayed at the Liu residence, waiting for Shangguan Feng to notify him of the exact time of the Mutual Aid Association gathering and the specific time of Liu Wanwan's Thousand Ascension Banquet.

According to the Liu residence's plan, this Thousand Ascension Banquet must be officially held after inviting all of the Liu family's relatives and friends.

However, Liu Wanwan wanted to hold this Thousand Ascension Banquet in the next few days.

However, all the elders in the clan disagreed.

The patriarch's original words were that if invitations were sent out a few days before the Thousand Ascension Banquet, it would not only show that the clan did not value those who had ascended to the Thousand World Realm.

Even the person who received the invitation would feel that you were very perfunctory.

Otherwise, why would you give me the invitation when the banquet was about to be held?

With so little time, I'm afraid I won't even be able to prepare a good gift.

If I don't prepare a suitable gift, how could I be embarrassed to come to your door?

So, don't you want me to participate in this Thousand Ascension Banquet?

Or, did you not even think of me as a person before, and only remembered that there was someone a little related to you when the banquet was about to start, and hurriedly sent me the invitation?

Or, did you initially think that I wasn't qualified to participate in your Liu residence's Thousand Ascension Banquet, but later felt that I was qualified because my cultivation level increased/I was connected to XX/I entered XX school, so you were willing to give me an invitation?

Or...

After hearing a lot from the patriarch, Liu Wanwan had to admit that the patriarch was right. Sending invitations to others in such a short period of time might not only fail to improve the relationship after the Thousand Ascension Banquet, but also create a group of enemies.

There was no way, so she had to decide to postpone the time of the Thousand Ascension Banquet.

Liu Wanwan was a little apologetic when she told Zhang Zhi about postponing the Thousand Ascension Banquet time. He smiled and shook his head, and said to Liu Xiaoxiao beside him, "Sister Xiaoxiao, work harder."

"When the time comes, the two of you will hold the Thousand Ascension Banquet together."

After hearing this, Liu Wanwan also turned her head and said to Liu Xiaoxiao next to her, "That's right, Xiaoxiao, let's hold our two Thousand Ascension Banquets together, and let certain people open their dog eyes to see that you, Xiaoxiao, are still the same Xiaoxiao as before."
