The two ran a thousand miles away, and when they looked back and saw that Shi Feiyang hadn't released the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword to cut them down, they finally felt a bit relieved. Yet, they couldn't just let Han'er fall into the Demon Path, so they decided to split up—one went to Emei Mountain to inform Madam Miao Yi, and the other flew towards the East Sea's Fishing Rock to inform Qi Shuming and Xuan Zhenzi.
Unbeknownst to Shi Feiyang, they dealt with the situation. He had completely forsaken the perception of an ordinary human, and his whole being merged back into the Dao's essence, becoming one with the universe...
This state was mysterious. If the myriad heavens and the earth are considered the "front stage," then the essence of the Dao is the "backstage." On the front stage, one sees colors, hears sounds, smells scents, and tastes flavors... But backstage, one perceives the primal transformations of "Qi." There, he saw his deeply cherished homeland.
It was indeed no longer the same— even the inanimate things had altered a lot. He had been in Shushan World for seventy or eighty years, and the schools had been rebuilt, though their locations remained unchanged.
He saw in an alley behind the school, one student was being beaten by two others. Through Heavenly Demon Sensing, he immediately understood the thoughts of the three—the duo beating up the boy suspected that he had stolen their tickets to Guanghan Palace.
The beaten boy's nose was bleeding. He crouched under a tree, continuously pleading that he hadn't stolen anything.
"What a wimp! Gets beaten but doesn't fight back or run, just cowers there taking it!" Shi Feiyang reached out wanting to separate the two assailants. Watching Earth now seemed like looking at a gigantic globe; his fingers brushed over the cities without any effect.
I cannot influence this material world!
Realizing this, Shi Feiyang reached out again, grasped through the air, and pulled out the beaten boy's soul.
"Where am I? Am I... dead?" The boy couldn't see Shi Feiyang, feeling only the endless darkness around him.
Shi Feiyang, holding the boy's soul, returned to Shushan World in an instant, sitting in Liangyi Palace with the boy's Primordial Spirit in his hand!
This means I have successfully sensed another world and even brought a soul back from that world. Although it's just one world, my original goal was achieved!
Looking at the boy held in his hand, he suddenly thought of trying another "creation" experiment. He saw slow-moving zombies on the mountain trail to the southwest of Sunflower Valley and said to the boy, "Do you want to go home?"
By this time, the boy realized he was standing in someone's hand. Seeing Shi Feiyang, who appeared about his age but dressed in ancient clothing, he asked dumbfoundedly, "Am I dead?"
"You're not dead, but if you don't go back, you will actually die."
The boy started crying, "I don't want to die. Are you King Yan or an Immortal? I want to go back; I'm going to die, my mom will be worried."
Shi Feiyang spoke, "I'll give you a mission. If you complete it, I'll send you back."
"What if I can't do it?"
Shi Feiyang told him, "Your task is to kill zombies. If you fail, you will be absorbed by the zombies, and then you'll truly die!"
After he spoke, he threw the boy into the air. His fingers released Five Elements Essence Qi wrapped around the boy's soul, flying out of Liangyi Palace, leaving Sunflower Valley, towards the mountain trails to the southwest.
During this process, the Five Elements Essence Qi quickly solidified into a body identical to the boy's original appearance—slender limbs, tall and slim.
Landing on the ground, the boy rolled over and had just gotten up when he saw two ghastly zombies close by, causing him to flee in panic while shouting, "King Yan! If you want me to fight zombies, can you give me a weapon?"
Shi Feiyang smiled, thinking that this boy, who previously didn't dare to resist or run when being beaten, now boldly asked him for weapons.
Sure enough, he had many weapons, but cutting a zombie with them was like slicing tofu.
Fortunately, both Dai Family Field and Lv Family Village had martial arts traditions. There were weapon racks in the squares; he just took a treasure sword and sent it through the air.
The villagers from the two villages knew of the existence of Immortals in their homes, and they didn't find it strange when they saw a treasure sword fly up and hang in the air.
The sword fell from the sky, embedding itself in the ground. The boy quickly pulled it out and held it in his hand, then yelled again, "This sword is not as effective as a long weapon for fighting zombies, King Yan! Could you give me a long spear or a shield? Oh right, why don't you just give me a gun instead? I'm really good at holographic gun battles; I'm a five-star SWAT officer, one shot for each terrorist!"
"I have nuclear weapons; do you want one?" Shi Feiyang's voice echoed directly in his mind.
"Ah? King Yan, don't joke around..." The boy didn't have time to say more; the zombies had already approached. He held the sword with both hands and slashed at the zombies.
This was just an ordinary green-skinned zombie. Its skin and muscles had become as tough as leather. Though the sword from Dai Family Field was of decent quality and cut about half an inch into the zombie, it did not feel any pain. Although this strike caused damage, it wasn't significant to the zombie.
Shi Feiyang watched the boy wielding the treasure sword, retreating while fighting, moving agilely, and gradually adapting to the zombie's attack pace.
He was quite satisfied with the body he had created, fundamentally similar to how Jile Perfected Master Li Jingxu used Five Elements Essence to shape bodies. However, his creation was improvised, lasting only twelve hours before it would dissipate on its own, and its innate qualities were only those of an ordinary human. But being able to create it on the fly was quite an achievement indeed.
The boy was smart; he began to exploit the zombie's lack of agility, continuously circling to its side and back, attacking vital spots like the stomach, neck, and eyes with the treasure sword.
The zombie groaned from its throat, swinging its claws with force, but the boy carefully dodged each strike.
