Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 633: The Abandoned Mansion of the Monk, True Lord Tianxing!
Zhou Xun's face was as gloomy as water, floating thousands of feet away from the fog.
Feng Zhong had an embarrassed look on his face. He knew that he had messed up his master's job. If he had known this would happen, he would never have agreed to it.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke:
"Master, this time it's my fault that Daoist Wang and his companions got lost in the fog."

"Feng Zhong is willing to go and investigate and rescue the two fellow Taoists. I ask for your permission, my master!" After saying that, he knelt on one knee and challenged Zhou Xun to fight.

Zhou Xun did not answer. At this moment, he was concentrating his energy, spreading his spiritual sense, and carefully exploring the fog.

But what was extremely strange was that with his current spiritual awareness comparable to that of a peak cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, as soon as he explored the fog, he was immediately lost in a sea of ​​white.

This fog actually has the ability to restrict spiritual consciousness.

He even felt a faint sense of emptiness.

You know, only when the teleportation array is activated and the cultivator's Nascent Soul performs the teleportation technique, can some void power be stimulated.
In addition, there are space vortices that emit this kind of void power when entering the secret realm.

For example, the entrance from the Chaos Land into the Tianxuan Secret Realm,
The same is true for the entrance from the Quicksand Sea into the Thunder Prison.

But this was the first time he had seen the power of the void contained in the fog, let alone covering such a wide area.

He wanted to leave, but Wang Lingfeng was none other than the disciple of Master Qianchuan who was most likely to enter the Nascent Soul stage.
By then, he will be the next lord of Zhenhai Immortal City!

When True Lord Qianchuan left, he specifically asked him to take care of it. But how could he explain to True Lord Qianchuan in this situation now?

Zhou Xun decided to give it a try. If things really went well, he would not put himself in danger.

After thinking for a moment, he flipped his hand and took out two items.

A bottle of third-grade premium spirit wine, which Wang Lingfeng specially presented to Zhou Xun after hearing that he loved wine.

And his small astronomical compass.

Zhou Xun planned to use divination to find Wang Lingfeng's location, and then use puppets to explore the way and lead him out.

Then Zhou Xun muttered something, made hand gestures, and pointed at the spirit wine.
Then an invisible energy was drawn out and merged into the compass.
After a moment, the compass flashed and showed a golden arrow pointing in the direction of the fog.
“Sure enough, it works!”

Zhou Xun smiled slightly,
This also means that although Wang Lingfeng is now trapped in the fog, his life is not in danger. This is a relatively good result!

At least I still have a chance to save him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun waved his hand.
The spiritual light flew out and transformed into a monkey several feet in size.

It was the puppet that Zhou Xun had refined in his spare time. It was of the third-grade lower grade and could fight against ordinary cultivators in the early Jindan stage.

For a puppet of this level, Zhou Xun had refined a third-order demon soul as its core, so it had a certain ability to act independently.

According to the direction indicated by the compass, Zhou Xun gave orders to the monkey.

The ape's eyes flashed with light, revealing a hint of intelligence. Then, with a flash of intelligence, he turned over and disappeared into the mist in front of him.

Rushing towards the direction where Wang Lingfeng was,

Zhou Xun relied on the connection between himself and the puppet to slowly understand the situation within the fog.

However, the next moment,
A strange thing happened. The puppet seemed to be suddenly moved to a very distant place, and the next moment, the connection with it was lost.

Zhou Xun's expression became more and more serious.

Behind him, the remaining eight Jindan cultivators didn't even dare to breathe.

In fact, Wang Lingfeng's fate was not unrelated to them.
If they had not instigated, Wang Lingfeng would not have asked Feng Zhong for instructions, they would not have provoked that group of flying eagles, and Wang Lingfeng would not have fallen here.

Zhou Xun thought hard, what other methods are there?
At this moment, something strange happened.
The fog suddenly spread out, moving tens of thousands of feet in an instant, and the place where Zhou Xun and others were was covered by it.

Zhou Xun's heart trembled, and he saw that the fog instantly enveloped everyone, and his vision was suddenly occupied by the white fog.

The eight Jindan cultivators behind him showed expressions of fear and unconsciously huddled together.

Zhou Xun forced himself to remain calm and spread out his spiritual sense again, but it was still like a drop in the ocean and he was swallowed up by the strange fog.

At this moment, a strange sound was faintly heard in the fog, like the roar of some monster, or the vibration of the void.

Zhou Xun and others looked around vigilantly as if they were facing a great enemy.

Feng Zhong stood up, his face full of regret and determination, "Master, this is all my fault. You asked me to explore the way and I must find Fellow Daoist Wang and the others."

Zhou Xun shook his head slightly, "Don't be reckless, this fog is too strange, we need to act with caution."

Everyone moved cautiously in the fog, and every step was full of unknown dangers.

"Li Qun. Li Qun is missing!"

Suddenly, a panicked voice sounded, Zhou Xun immediately turned around and saw that the original eight subordinates,

Only seven people were left.
One of the young men in white brocade fur coat had a panicked look on his face.
"What happened?" Zhou Xun asked in a deep voice.

"Just now. Just now, Li Qun suddenly disappeared in front of me!"

"It's like teleportation, but he is obviously just like me, only in the early stage of Jindan!" The young man spoke intermittently, and his expression looked as if he was about to cry.

"Teleport?"

"Why does it sound like it is very similar to the legendary forbidden formation!" Combined with the void power that I sensed here before,
Zhou Xun felt more and more that what he felt was right.

After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and a jade cup the size of a palm appeared in his palm.

Inject mana into it to activate it.
In an instant, a faint green light spread out, covering the surrounding area within a hundred feet.

"It is indeed a forbidden formation. Even the range of my green jade cup has been compressed to a very small size."

Then he spread out his spiritual consciousness, sensing the surroundings.
Sure enough, the power of the void in the fog was imprisoned, and no one should be moved to other places by the void in a short period of time.

Then he instructed the people behind him:

"Don't leave the range of this green light!"

"Yes!"

Everyone bowed in response.

Many of them have recognized that this green jade cup is a treasure from the void.

Those who possess such treasures are all powerful monks with incredible strength, which makes them feel a little more relaxed!
"Senior Zhou will definitely be able to lead us out!"

Zhou Xun looked around at the vast expanse of white, unable to tell east, west, south, or north.

With a wave of his hand, he took out the small Bu Tian compass again.

Put your hands together and point towards the compass.
After a moment, a flash of light appeared, and a golden arrow appeared on the compass, pointing to the northwest.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun headed in this direction without hesitation.

Perhaps it was the effect of the Qingyu Cup that no one disappeared again for several hours. They followed it for nearly a day.
At this moment, a passage appeared in the fog ahead.

Zhou Xun glanced at the compass in his hand, which indicated this direction.

Gritting my teeth, I continued forward along the passage.
After walking for about several thousand feet, the front suddenly opened up and an island of unknown size appeared in front of everyone.

It was shrouded by a huge light shield, and the details inside could not be seen clearly.

"It seems that the fog outside is to protect this island! The owner of this place is not ordinary, as he can use a fourth-level top-grade magic array as protection!"

Zhou Xun carefully examined the formation, but unfortunately, with his current formation skills, he was unable to break it.

If we can obtain a fourth-grade or higher forbidden treasure, combined with the search for the Thousand-Response Insect last week, there might be a chance to open a temporary entrance.

"Master, do you know the origin of this place?"

Feng Zhong looked at the large formation in front of him and couldn't help but marvel at it. He felt that even the mountain protection formation of Zhenhai Fairy City was inferior to it.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun shook his head. He recalled the classics he had read and had never seen such a record.

It is impossible to crack such a magic array, so the only way is to find out if there is any other way out.

So Zhou Xun called everyone together and ordered:
"This island should be inside the magic circle. There is no danger for the time being. Look around and see if you can find anything!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
Then, each person went in a different direction and spread out to search carefully.

Zhou Xun stayed where he was, carefully examining the magic circle in front of him, hoping to discover something.

About half an hour passed,

Suddenly, a handsome young man with a golden core walked over quickly, unable to hide his excitement, and came in front of Zhou Xun:
"Reporting to Senior Zhou, I found a stele here, which seems to be the entrance to this place!"

"Take me there!" Zhou Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this. Under the guidance of the young man, he walked towards the place where he found the stone tablet.

At this time, the other Jindan realms also learned the news and rushed here.

Soon, everyone came to a five-foot-high stone tablet and began to read carefully:
"I am Fang Tianxing, and I have built this inheritance cave. If any fellow Taoist is predestined and can find a way to enter and break my formation, the two inheritances I have obtained in my life are at your disposal!"

"Fang Tianxing", Zhou Xun kept repeating the name, could this be the remains of Tianxing Zhenjun?

It was confirmed the next moment.

"I have read in the classics that the name of Tianxing Zhenjun is Fang Tianxing. This is the Tianxing Zhenjun Cave Mansion that has been rumored for a long time in the South China Sea!"

A surprised voice was heard among the crowd. It was the young man in white and brocade fur coat from before.

"Are you sure that Fang Tianxing is the True Lord Tianxing?" Zhou Xun asked again.

"It can't be wrong. I saw that the book clearly recorded the real name of Tianxing Zhenjun. Combined with this formation, who else could have set it up except Tianxing Zhenjun?"

"Yes, all signs indicate that this is the cave residence of True Lord Tianxing. We...we have made it!" Another Jindan cultivator couldn't help but exclaimed.

I originally thought that being stranded in the fog was a disaster, but now it seems to be a great opportunity.

This is the True Lord Tianxing. If any of his wealth were to fall into his hands, it would be a huge fortune for these Jindan cultivators.

"According to what the stone tablet says, as long as we break this magic circle, we can get the treasure inside. I wonder if any of you are good at breaking the magic circle!"

"This formation looks no worse than the mountain protection formation of Zhenhai Fairy City. Can we really break it?" A Jindan cultivator said with a wry smile.

"I wonder if Senior Zhou has any way to open this magic circle?" At this time, the young man in white clothes and brocade fur coat came in front of Zhou Xun and asked with a bow.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun shook his head:
"If I am not mistaken, this is a fourth-level top-grade magic array. Who in our Central Continent can open it?"

"Are we going to come back empty-handed after entering a mountain of treasures?" the young man in white brocade fur coat said unwillingly.

"If you have any ideas, don't hide them. Once we leave this place, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to get this opportunity again!"

Everyone looked at each other, and none of them had a good solution.

At this time, the young man came to the light shield unwillingly, stretched out his hands, and pressed towards the light shield with his magic power.

next moment,
A ray of light flashed, and a huge force came back.

The young man flew back, seriously injured.

At this time, Zhou Xun also thought of this problem, but unfortunately even though his strength has greatly increased now, he cannot forcibly break through this magic circle!
In the entire Central Continent, perhaps only Lord Yama can do this.

"Well, I'll come back here and try again when I find a fourth-level mid-grade or higher forbidden treasure!"

So Zhou Xun came to the stone tablet, stretched out his hand, and a piece of jade the size of a fingernail fell into his palm.

Next time I come here, I will catch the jade myself and be able to find this place quickly!
But there is another problem, that is, after leaving here,

The news that Tianxing Zhenjun's cave has been discovered is about to spread, and by then those who know about it will probably face countless pressures.

After all, in the inheritance of Tianxing Zhenjun, there is a method of setting up a teleportation array, which is definitely a strategic existence.
The three major forces will never let go!

Even for Zhou Xun, it would be extremely difficult to obtain the inheritance and treasures here.

"It seems that the news here must not be spread out!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun made a decision in his heart and summoned a group of subordinates in the Jindan stage.

"I wonder what instructions Senior Zhou has?" Everyone looked at each other.

"Now we can basically conclude that this island is the cave of Tianxing Zhenjun!"

"It's a pity that the mountain protection formation is too strong. We can't break it. We can only return empty-handed after entering the treasure mountain!"

"But if we wait until everyone returns, the news here will inevitably spread. This is the inheritance of Tianxing Zhenjun, and I don't know how many people covet it."

"Given your strength at the Jindan stage, I think many people will be interested in you by then!"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
Yes, if I were a Nascent Soul cultivator and heard the news of the Tianxing Zhenjun's cave being born, and also knew that several Jindan cultivators had been there before,
Then it became inevitable to abduct these Jindan.
Unfortunately, they are the ones who have formed the elixir!
"The only solution now is to keep the news a secret and never tell anyone else about the appearance of Lord Tianxing's cave. This way you may be able to save your lives!" Zhou Xun said calmly.

At this time, a smart person also understood Zhou Xun's meaning and immediately said:
"What the True Lord said is very true. I am willing to swear a great oath to the devil in my heart that I will never disclose the news of the birth of the True Lord Tianxing's cave to anyone else."

"If you violate this oath, the inner demon will kill you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction. These people were the proud disciples of the old monsters in the Immortal City, the future Nascent Soul seeds.

The inner demon tribulation is the first tribulation in the advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. They have sworn an oath by this and would never dare to violate it.

Someone took the lead, and the remaining seven people all swore an oath to this effect. Only then did Zhou Xun feel relieved.
