Martial Arts Apocalypse: Raising a Corpse with the Lovely Huang Rong from the Start

In 2025, Chen Babao, an apprentice Taoist at Mount Longhu, accidentally transmigrates during a tribulation into a mutated version of the Jin Yong world: Mingxia Island, in the Age of Declining Dharma. This Peach Blossom Island retreat, which should be steeped in immortal air, is now shrouded in corpse mist. Disciples from the Ten Great Sects have become walking corpses, the bodies of famous ancient heroes are controlled by evil spirits, and monstrous alien beasts lurk among the reefs. After activating the “Exorcism Infrastructure-Building System,” he uses his left hand to control zombies and reclaim farmland, and his right to wield talismans and tame Mei Chaofeng into his housekeeper. Amid the tide of corpses, he rebuilds civilization: sword cultivator zombies chop wood with sword energy, Beggar Sect zombies clear away weeds tainted by corpse poison, Li Qingzhao’s poetry irrigates spirit rice imbued with inner strength, and Huang Rong’s hairpin hooks up fragments of the Nine Yin Manual. When the zombie farmers of Mingxia Island begin cultivating the Nine Yin Corpse Liberation Art, and the South Sea Pearl illuminates Wang Chongyang’s corpse deep inside a volcano, an island-wide “Zombie Island Revival Project” that will upend the martial world begins with the butterfly-shaped corpse mark in his palm... Meanwhile, the remnant soul of Huang Yaoshi hidden in Li Qingzhao’s jade hairpin and the Guixu Key sealed inside Huang Rong’s corpse reveal the most horrifying secret of this martial world in the Age of Declining Dharma: the plan to resurrect the Five Greats as corpse cultivators has long been gathering momentum beneath the surface of the islands.
