Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 646: So what if Nanyuan Demon King!
However, the next moment, it was stunned. His teleportation method did not work.

A thousand feet above them, a palm-sized green jade cup was suspended in the air.
Exuding a faint spiritual light.

"Treasure of the Void!"

The Thousand Crab Demon King was horrified. Now that he had lost his physical body, he was no match for Zhou Xun.
In addition, the teleportation method did not work, and even escape was false. He could only fly away quickly, hoping to get out of the area covered by the green jade cup as soon as possible.

However, Zhou Xun's speed of escape made him reveal a sense of despair.

Behind Zhou Xun, a pair of thunder wings with a wingspan of four or five feet spread out, flapping their wings and closing the distance between the two sides.

It only takes one or two breaths to get close to him and catch him.

Just when he was filled with despair, a black beam of light came from far away, crossed the space, and instantly arrived in front of Zhou Xun.

The scene of the Thousand Crab Monster King's defeat naturally caught the eyes of the Nanyuan Monster King in the distance.
Seeing his general being beaten so badly that his life was in danger,

He offered his help without hesitation.

He put his hands together and pointed at himself. Then he saw a flash of light from the black horn on his forehead.
His innate magical power "Black Mysterious Light" was instantly activated and attacked Zhou Xun.

Looking at this very familiar beam of light, Zhou Xun recognized it instantly.

When he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and was fighting against the Black Island Demon King, it also displayed such magical power.
However, compared with the one in front of him, its power is less than 20% of the latter.
"Nanyuan Demon King!"

Zhou Xun was extremely angry. The Thousand Crab Demon King was already within reach, but he had no choice but to stop.

Resist this attack with all your strength!
I saw him retreating violently, and at the same time pointed towards me,
Lightning shields suddenly formed in front of him, with runes flashing on them. One could tell at a glance that their defensive power was extraordinary.

At the moment when the lightning shield was formed,

"boom!"

The black beam of light hit the shield, shattering it instantly, followed by the second and third beams.
It took a total of thirteen lightning shields, plus the fourth-level intermediate-grade defensive talisman that Zhou Xun activated in time, to barely block the beam of light.

"As expected of the Demon King of Nanyuan!"

At this time, Zhou Xun looked at the giant black dragon in the distance, with a hint of fear on his face.

Zhou Xun had to use all his skills to block the attack just now.

At this time, the Thousand Crab Demon King took advantage of Zhou Xun's defense to speed up his escape, leaving the coverage of the Green Jade Cup in an instant, and then used the teleportation method.
In a few flashes, he disappeared.

He failed at the last moment and was almost killed!
Zhou Xun felt a little regretful.

However, this also successfully gave him some understanding of his own strength.
Compared with the real great monks, there is still a little bit of deficiency, but compared with those monks at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul,
Zhou Xun is much stronger.

"But it's not all in vain!"

Zhou Xun looked towards the giant crab! He stretched out his hand and the giant body of the Thousand Crab Demon King floated in front of Zhou Xun.

Put your hands together and point at it.
In an instant, a pair of huge light golden claws and a set of blue-brown armor floated in place.

It is a treasure made by the Thousand Crab Demon King using part of his own body.
Judging from the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from it, it is clearly of the top grade level.

Take this big claw for example. With just a slight snip, it cut off the lightning chain that his lightning seed had transformed into. This shows how powerful it is.

As for this set of armor, it has amazing defensive power, not inferior to his Black Thunder Shield.

Add to that the eight long legs and the flesh and blood containing the essence of immortality, it is definitely a big harvest.

With a wave of his hand, he put it into the storage bag.
At this time, the victory was decided between Lord Yan Mo and the Demon King Nan Yuan.
The black dragon, which was several hundred feet long, had its scales bursting, blood flowing, and even its breath became extremely disordered.
"Well, well, well, you are worthy of being the number one cultivator in Zhongzhou. I admire you. You won today, and we will retreat!"

The Demon King of Nanyuan said,

He had always heard how powerful Yan Mo Zhenjun was, and how he was a rare existence among the great cultivators.
He didn't believe it at first. Even though he was at a disadvantage last time, he still refused to accept it.

Today's battle made me realize that this statement is true.

He even had a feeling that if he continued fighting, he might be in danger of dying.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel frightened.

"Brother Mo, we have already broken through this line of defense. If we withdraw now, it will be difficult to take it back in the future!"

Said the cold middle-aged man with two horns on his head.

"Yes, we..." the other banshee also spoke, but was interrupted before she finished speaking.
"No need to say more, I will lead this trip, retreat!"

Demon King Nanyuan stopped the two from speaking any further and gave the order directly.

In terms of numbers, their demon tribe is much larger, but above the fourth level, there is not much difference between the two sides.

At the level of the fourth-grade upper grade, they were no match at all.
If they stay here, I'm afraid one or two of them will die, and then the defense line will be broken.

It’s better to retreat as soon as possible!
The same is true for Master Yan Mo. With him around, they can win the battle between top cultivators, but the human cultivators at the Jindan stage and below will probably be wiped out.
Only then did he make an agreement to fight with the Demon King of Nanyuan, and the loser would retreat!
Following an order from the Demon King Nanyuan, the demon army retreated like a tide. Lord Yama looked at the retreating demons with a solemn expression.

At this time, Zhou Xun came to the side of Yan Mo Zhenjun, bowed and said: "Brother Yu Dao, the demon tribe has finally retreated!"

Lord Yan Mo nodded slightly, but his expression was still solemn. "For now, the defense line has been saved, but from now on, I'm afraid there will be no peace!"

Now that the war has begun, it means that the long-term ceasefire between the two sides has been broken.
The next fight will definitely be more intense than the previous one.

Then he looked at Zhou Xun again and said with a smile:
"Brother Zhou, your current strength really impresses me!"

Decades ago, the great battle between Zhou Xun and the Thousand Crab Demon King was witnessed by Lord Yan Mo himself.
At that time, Zhou Xun was just on par with him.

But now, the Thousand Crab Demon King almost died at the hands of Zhou Xun, which shows how fast his strength is improving.

"Brother Dao, you are too kind. What can my ability do to me?" You must know that this Yama Zhenjun is able to suppress the Nanyuan Demon King.

And he could only barely withstand an ordinary attack from the Demon King Nanyuan.

“Hahaha, when I was at your level of cultivation, I never had such a record!” Lord Yama laughed.

After a brief chat,

Everyone came to the defense line.

At this time, Master Xuan Lei was extremely miserable, with only his Nascent Soul left.
Of course, as long as he finds a suitable body, he will be able to recover to his peak within a few years.

As for the other monks guarding the defense line, they suffered a tragic loss as well. More than one-third of them died, and the rest were all injured.

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoists!" Yan Mo Zhenjun glanced at everyone and spoke slowly. He had figured out the cause and effect of this battle.
If they hadn't fought with all their might, they wouldn't have been able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
By then, this line of defense would probably really be lost.

In the following time, Lord Yama personally guarded the southern defense line, and half of their reinforcements stayed behind, while the rest were led by another great cultivator, Lord Qianjue of the Righteous Alliance, and returned to the Immortal City.

Zhou Xun is among them.

After returning to the fairy city, Zhou Xun returned to the cave to practice meditation.

Although he failed to defeat the Thousand Crab Demon King in this battle, he also witnessed the battle between great monks.

Even experienced it myself.
By the late Nascent Soul stage, its attack capability has already vaguely involved the power of the void!

"It seems that if I want to gain a foothold at this level, I must work hard on the power of the void!"

Before this, Zhou Xun had been pursuing absolute power, such as the "Tianyuan Sword Formation" and the "Nine Heavens of Tribulation Thunder".
They are all powerful and mighty supernatural powers.
But he has not made much progress in the power of the void.

After all, his Purple Night True Thunder Formation already contained this kind of magical power.
Within the formation, Zhou Xun appeared and disappeared mysteriously, like a shadow following one's body. He could appear anywhere at will, but he only blessed himself.
It failed to manifest itself in the attack.
"If my Tribulation Thunder Nine Heavens could appear at any position in the array at will, just like me,"

"Just like the black beam of light from the Demon King of the Southern Abyss, it instantly crossed a distance of tens of thousands of feet."

This is what is considered the true great supernatural power!
It’s a pity that the current situation is so tense that he can’t afford to practice in peace.

One day, Zhou Xun was practicing in the cave when suddenly a sound transmission note flew in from outside and stayed above the restriction.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun flicked his finger, and a beam of light hit the sound transmission talisman, followed by a very familiar voice.

"Senior Zhou, Wang Lingfeng is here to visit!"

Wang Lingfeng is the direct disciple of Master Qianchuan. It seems that he came here in person for something important.

So he stood up and opened the door of the practice room.
As soon as he walked out, he saw the old turtle Chiwu standing by.
"Master, Master Huadu is here and is waiting in the reception room!"

Seeing Zhou Xun coming out, the old turtle bowed and saluted.
Zhou Xun nodded and followed him to the reception room.

I saw a handsome young man, about twenty years old, sitting upright with a pot of spiritual tea in his hand.

As soon as he saw Zhou Xun, the young man bowed to the ground and performed a great salute.

"I have seen the true king!"

"My dear Wang, you are here. But Master Qianchuan has something to tell you, so why did he ask you to come here in person to tell him?"

When Wang Lingfeng heard Zhou Xun speak, he immediately sat up straight and replied respectfully:

"I don't know what Master wants, he just asked me to invite you to Zhenhai Palace!"

"Brother Qianchuan has invited me, so I have to go!" Zhou Xun nodded, and then left the cave with Wang Lingfeng and came to the Zhenhai Hall.

At this moment, Zhenhai Fairy City is filled with the atmosphere of preparing for war!

In the sky, rays of spiritual light were flying back and forth as fast as meteors. They were spiritual boats transporting all kinds of powerful talismans and magical instruments.

Every flash of inspiration seemed to sound the alarm for the coming war.

Zhenhai Fairy City seemed to be tightly wrapped in a thick layer of war haze, and the depressing atmosphere made people's hearts beat faster involuntarily.

Everyone was on high alert, ready for battle, because they knew that the decisive battle between the two tribes was imminent. Not long after, the two arrived at the Zhenhai Hall, and after checking the token, Zhou Xun walked straight in.

"Brother Zhou, you're here!"

Seeing Zhou Xun coming in, Master Qianchuan smiled, but his tiredness could not be concealed.

As the lord of Zhenhai Fairy City, he is responsible for all logistical arrangements.
Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, some could not bear such a heavy workload.

"Brother, you must be very busy these days!" Zhou Xun asked with concern.

"As the mayor of Zhenhai Immortal City, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little during the critical moment of the war between the two tribes. It is better than those fellow Taoists who died on the front line!"

Qianchuan Zhenjun shook his head.
Zhou Xun knew he was talking about Mr. Hong.
During the last battle on the southern defense line, he happened to be stationed there. As a fourth-rank lower-grade formation master, he was the backbone of the restoration during that battle.

Therefore, it has also received special attention from the demon clan.

After the defense line was breached, he was immediately targeted by the fourth-level superior female demon, and eventually fell helplessly, without even his Nascent Soul being able to escape.
All of them turned into food in the monster's stomach.

Qianchuan Zhenjun and him had a close relationship, and they were even half-teacher.
The death of this man dealt him a heavy blow.

Zhou Xun sighed and said, "War is cruel, and life and death are unpredictable. Brother Dao, please don't be too sad. What we can do now is to do our best to protect the Immortal City and avenge those Taoist friends who have passed away."

Master Qianchuan nodded slightly, with a firm look in his eyes: "Brother Zhou, what you said is absolutely right. I came to you this time because I have something to discuss with you."

"Whatever it is, just tell me what you want!" Zhou Xun said.

"Wait for the other two Taoist friends to arrive, and then announce it together." Just as the voice fell, two figures walked in from the entrance of the hall.
The man on the left is wearing a white gown, with a beautiful jade hanging from his waist. He is very graceful and has an extraordinary figure. It is Wei Chang'an.
His master is Xuanlang Zhenjun, one of the three great monks of the Righteous Alliance.
Zhou Xun already knew this person when he ventured into the Tianyuan Secret Realm. When he saw him again in Zhenhai Immortal City, he was already in the Nascent Soul Stage!
The other man was dressed like a scholar, with gray hair, and looked to be in his sixties. He was none other than Yunshang Zhenjun, whom Zhou Xun had rescued from the Thousand Crab Demon King that day.

"Greetings to Master Qianchuan. Hey, Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are here too!" Wei Changan bowed slightly.

As for Yunshan Zhenjun, he came in front of Zhou Xun, bowed to the ground and performed a great salute.

Seeing this, Wei Changan and Qianchuan Zhenjun both showed surprised expressions. After all, both parties were Yuanying cultivators, and bowing to each other was already a formality.

Such a grand tribute is not necessary there, and it is usually only done when facing seniors of a higher level.

"I was touched by Master Wang Chuan's rescue last time. If you need anything, just let me know!"

Master Yunshan spoke with a sincere tone.

"You and I are both human beings, so we should help each other. Daoist Yunshang, why don't you be so polite?"

Zhou Xun waved his hands. He saved this man just by chance, so he naturally didn't care much.

"For me, Brother Zhou's help is a life-saving favor. How can I ignore it?" Yun Shang said to himself.

This naturally aroused the curiosity of Wei Changan and the other person nearby.

So he asked:

"I wonder what Brother Zhou did to make Brother Yun so grateful?"

"Before the southern defense line was broken, I happened to be stationed there. After the defense line was broken, I never thought that I would be targeted by the Thousand Crab Demon King and chased all the way."

"Just when I was at my wit's end, it was Brother Zhou who saved me and then defeated it, leaving only the demon spirit escaping!"
