Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 654 Returning to East Wilderness, the spiritual energy changes!
The Eastern Wasteland cultivation world.

Ever since the tide invaded the Baiyun Mountains and the self-destruction of True Man Baiyun, the spiritual veins of the Baiyun Mountains have been damaged and the mountains have become extremely desolate.

But it was once a third-level spiritual vein.
After a century of restoration, it has slowly begun to recover.
Gradually, some monsters began to gather nearby, and even second-level monsters appeared.

This also attracted the independent cultivators from Xu State to come here to hunt monsters and collect spiritual herbs.

It has become a famous holy place for casual practitioners.

When Xing Huaian came to notice this place, he sent people to build a small market here, named Baiyun Market.

First, to commemorate the former Baiyun Fairy City and Baiyun Zhenren,
Secondly, it lays the groundwork for rebuilding the fairy city in the future.

Luo Hong is the current person in charge of Baiyunfang City.

His original name was Wei Hong, and he was the only son of Wei Shangyi.

Since offering the family's inherited talisman technique, gaining Zhou Xun's forgiveness, and joining Wangchuan Lake, he has developed very well.

Now he is already a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
He then respected his father's will and re-established the Lingfu Luo family, which was extremely famous throughout the Wangchuan Lake.

From Luo Hong onwards,

It has been passed down to the fifth generation.

There are over a hundred people in the clan, and there are as many as five foundation-building cultivators alone.

Now the one accompanying Luo Hong in Baiyun Market is his second son, Luo Buli.

On this day, Luo Buli, as the head of the Fangshi Law Enforcement Team,

Driving the spirit boat and leading more than a dozen cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, they began to patrol thousands of miles around Baiyunfang City.

Soon, they arrived at a valley two thousand miles away from Baiyun Fairy City.

This valley is surrounded by extremely tall mountains that reach into the sky.

But since some time ago, this valley has become barren and nothing can grow, and the several mountain peaks are also desolate.

Even the spiritual energy is much thinner than in other places.

After more than ten miles out of the valley, there gradually appeared some sparse grass and trees.

It is called the Desolate Valley.

When he was being chased by the great elder of the Wu family, he came here and then encountered the ghost fog.

Now, the second son of the Luo family has brought people here again.

"Captain Luo, this valley looks extremely strange!"

A tall man spoke slowly.

"Ghost fog once appeared in this valley. It is said that Senior Wangchuan came here before!" Luo Hong replied.

Speaking of the four words 'Senior Wangchuan', everyone showed admiration.

In the entire Eastern Wasteland today,
Zhou Xun can be said to be the most famous person. Moreover, he has risen from a casual cultivator to the position of the number one cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland.
It inspired countless low-level monks!
This is especially true for those who are under the command of Wangchuan Lake.

As he spoke, Luo Hong piloted the spirit boat and flew over the valley.

Just at this time,

Gradually the valley began to change.

A strange black light began to flash at the bottom of the valley, followed by the appearance of thin cracks.

Immediately afterwards, traces of black mist emerged from the cracks.

At the same time, the number of cracks is increasing and their width is also increasing.

Gradually, the fog began to spread.

"Then what is that?" The man looked down!

"Ghost Mist!"

Luo Buli was startled, and felt a chill down his spine. He immediately took out a blood-red pill from his storage bag.
This is the Blood Evil Pill, which can increase your magic power in a short period of time.
He swallowed it without hesitation, then burst out with all his magic power, sending it to the spirit boat under his feet.

The spirit boat turned into an arrow and sped away.

Not far behind the spirit boat, a black mist quickly spread.
Fortunately, Luo Buli reacted in time and managed to run out of the valley.

At this time, the black fog had occupied the entire valley and was gradually spreading outward.

If someone gets close, they can faintly hear the howling of ghosts and wolves, or the sound of laughter.

But the black fog seemed still unsatisfied and continued to expand slowly outwards.

Luo Buli and others rushed out of the valley, not daring to stay any longer, and rushed madly towards Baiyun Market.

At the same time, the entire Eastern Wasteland cultivation world,

Such scenes occurred in dozens of places, with black mist surging out from the ground and beginning to spread in all directions.

Even in the depths of Fengyuan, the ghost fog that had changed that year appeared.

Even outside the East Desert, including the 'Quick Sand Sea' that Zhou Xun had visited before.
After Luo Buli returned to Baiyunfang City,
He immediately went to the cave residence of his father Luo Hong to pay a visit.

"Father, something terrible has happened!"

As soon as he saw Luo Hong, Luo Buli spoke in a panic,
"Speak slowly, you are so impatient, how can you be a decent foundation-building cultivator!" After scolding, the gray-haired Luo Hong began to ask Luo Buli,
"Tell me, what happened to make you so upset!"

"Desolate Valley, it's Desolate Valley!"

"The ghost fog there has appeared again!"

Luo Buli then described in detail the experience of himself and his companions patrolling in the valley and the sudden outbreak of ghost fog.

Hearing this, Luo Hong's face changed drastically.

He was of a high status and had read the records about the Desolate Valley.

This valley had erupted once more than 150 years ago, causing severe injuries to Master Baiyun, and greatly reducing his lifespan.

After much thought, he decided to report the matter to Wangchuan Lake. This was a major matter that he was no longer able to handle.

So without stopping at all, he set up a light of escape and rushed towards Wangchuan Lake with Luo Buli.

Three days later, when he came to Baiyun Fairy City again after many years, he couldn't help but sigh.

He then stepped in, went straight to Zhou Jinsong, and explained his purpose.

When he joined Wangchuan Lake, he worked under Zhou Jinsong.

His Luo family had also intermarried with the Zhou family many times, so the two families were very familiar with each other.

When Zhou Jinsong learned about Luo Hong's purpose, he did not show much surprise.

"Brother Luo, it's not just the Desolate Valley. I'm afraid that ghost fog has appeared all over the East Desert now."

Even this time he returned from Tianhan City to discuss how to deal with the ghost fog.

"What about the Desolate Valley?" Luo Hong hesitated.

This place is not too far from Baiyun Market. If it is allowed to spread, the entire Baiyun Market will soon be destroyed.

"According to previous experience, this ghost fog will retreat on its own after appearing for a period of time!"

You set up a no-go zone there to prevent others from falling into it,

As for the rest, we have no other solution. After all, not everyone is the Master!

Zhou Xun had encountered ghost fog several times, and several of his disciples knew about it. "Yes!"

Luo Hong nodded in agreement, and then took his son back to Baiyunfang City, organizing his men.
With the "Desolate Valley" as the center, the area within a hundred miles is closed and no one is allowed to enter.

As for Fengyuan City, it had become Wangchuan Lake's most steadfast ally long before Zhou Xun defeated the Grand Elder of Tianyu Sect.
Now that the city is in trouble, several Jindan Zhenren from Wangchuan Lake have already gone there to help them resist the ghosts.

There is the example of Zhou Xun before,
They all believed that as long as a period of time passed, the ghost fog would naturally retreat.

however!
This time, things did not turn out the way they thought.

The ghost fog did not retreat, but remained in the area and gradually spread outward, encroaching on the land step by step.

Just like an ink stain on a piece of white paper, it keeps spreading everywhere.
Invading the territory of their human monks

Baiyun Fairy City, the meeting hall.

All the top leaders of Wangchuan Lake gathered here, looking worried.

Xu Shaoqing occupies the main position. He is the successor appointed by Zhou Xun. In the face of such a major event, no one dares to overstep his authority.

Sitting on the left and right were Xing Huaian, Yuan Paner, Zhou Jinsong, Wei Qiuxin, Fang Tianlun, Lin Xiuyin and others.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and everyone was silent.

Xu Shaoqing frowned slightly and broke the silence first: "Now the ghost fog is rampant, and it is advancing instead of retreating. The situation is critical. Do you have any good plans?"

Xing Huaian stroked his beard, his face heavy, and shook his head slowly:
"This ghost fog is coming with great force, and we don't know its source. It is indeed a difficult matter. I have thought about it over and over again, but I still can't find a feasible solution."

"I have searched ancient books, trying to find a solution for similar situations, but I have found nothing. I only know that this thing seems to riot every few hundred years."

"But after the riot, although there was some damage to the local area, it will eventually recede like a tide. This time it is out of character, and I am afraid it will be a big disaster for my Eastern Wasteland cultivation world!"

Through the intelligence from Tianhan City, they already knew that
This time, the ghost fog not only affected several southern countries, but also caused a catastrophe throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness cultivation world.

He sighed slightly, his eyes full of helplessness.

Yuan Pan'er frowned, clasped her hands together, and sighed:
"Back then, the only one who really went deep into the ghost fog and successfully repelled it was Junior Brother Zhou. But Junior Brother traveled around the world more than ten years ago and has no trace since then. What can we do?"

Zhou Jinsong's face was gloomy, his brows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character, and he said in a deep voice:

"According to the current trend, if we do not take action and allow the ghost fog to continue to spread, I am afraid that even our Wangchuan Lake will be swallowed by it sooner or later."

"Although I have organized people to collect information about the ghost fog, the information we have obtained so far is very limited. Most of the monks who have encountered the ghost fog only remember the sounds of ghosts howling and the creepy chill, and they are unable to provide any substantial clues at all."

He waved his hands irritably, looking extremely anxious.

It has only been more than ten years since Zhou Xun handed over Wangchuan Lake to them, and they have encountered such an unsolvable crisis, which really makes them feel depressed!
The huge Wangchuan Lake is only due to the fame of Zhou Xun alone.

Wei Qiuxin frowned and said:

"According to Fengyuan City's experience, we can only form a formation to protect ourselves. If we want to limit their spread, we may still have a chance if we do it at the beginning of the outbreak of the ghost fog."

"But now they have spread thousands of miles. I'm afraid even a fourth-level magic array can't trap them!"

"It would be great if Master were here!" Zhou Jinsong said.

Hearing this, everyone agreed. In their hearts, Zhou Xun was like a god, omnipotent.

Xu Shaoqing looked at the expressions of the crowd and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"If it really doesn't work, we can only use the teleportation array left by our master to go find him!"

On the other side, after breaking through the fourth-level formation master,

Zhou Xun immediately used the Yuling Sect's teleportation array to return to Baimang Mountain.
Looking at the complicated magic circle in front of me, a sense of understanding arose in my heart.

Before this, he still had many questions about the complicated patterns on the magic circle and was extremely confused.

But now, it is like looking at the lines on the palm of your hand, and waves of enlightenment surge into your heart!

"So that's what it is!"

After spending half a month to fully understand this long-distance teleportation array,
Zhou Xun did not stop and started to dismantle it.

Half a day later, Zhou Xun removed the most core Kongxuan Crystal, and the entire magic circle was officially dismantled.

Then, he flew towards Tianhan City.
With the help of the teleportation array in Tianhan City, return to Wangchuan Lake.

Half a month later, when Zhou Xun arrived at the gate of Tianhan City again,
I found something was wrong.

Today, Tianhan City is under tight security. The number of guards at the gate is several times more than usual, and even the inspections have become stricter.

The so-called seeing the big from the small!
Zhou Xun immediately felt something was wrong.
Then he made a seal with both hands, pointed at himself, and instantly hid his figure, becoming illusory.
Then he walked in in front of everyone with great dignity.

He is now in the Nascent Soul stage, so these people naturally cannot discover him with their cultivation level.

As for the mountain protection formation,

The token with the highest authority is in his hands, so it is even less likely to work on him.

Enter the city,

Zhou Xun immediately spread out his spiritual sense and began to investigate.

No changes have occurred.

The elders of each department in Tianhan City are still the same people as before.

"It seems that the power seizure I envisioned did not happen!"

So he decided to ask some of his disciples about the situation.

However, he did not see Zhou Jinsong and Wei Qiuxin. After much thought, he finally decided to return to Wangchuan Lake.

With a flash of his figure, he arrived at the thirty-sixth floor, passed the guard at the door, and went straight back to the cave.

Coming to the deepest stone chamber,
I saw a teleportation array set up inside.

It was he who secretly laid it out, connecting it to his cave on the island in the middle of the lake.

Stand at the center of the teleportation array, take out the token, and tap it lightly.
A flash of white light passed by, and Zhou Xun disappeared from the spot.
After a long time, his feet finally touched solid ground again, which meant he had returned to Lake Forgotten.

However, when he just came out,

Then I felt something was wrong.

"This spiritual energy seems to have increased!"

Although it was extremely weak, it was still very obvious under his spiritual sense which was no less than that of a cultivator at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

A thought in my mind,
Waves of spiritual energy surged towards him, forming a vortex on the surface of his body and flowing into his meridians.
After circulating through the Qi circles, it finally merges into the Nascent Soul in the Dantian.

"Not only has the concentration of spiritual energy increased, it also seems to contain a trace of the vitality of heaven and earth!" Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

To know,
The entire Eastern Wasteland lacks this crucial heaven and earth energy, which has resulted in no Nascent Soul cultivators being born for thousands of years.

Even a peerless genius like Tianci Zhenjun can only waste his time here!
Only after leaving this cage can you soar into the sky.

Suddenly, an idea came to Zhou Xun's mind:
“Could it be that this cage that isolates the vitality of the Eastern Wilderness has actually had a crack!”

This is why the spiritual energy of Wangchuan Lake has been enhanced.

You know, the former East Wasteland was also a holy place for cultivation, with several great cultivators.

However, due to the lack of vitality of heaven and earth, the overall quality has been downgraded, and even the spiritual vein has regressed to the third level.

"If this is the case, it will be an opportunity for me, a cultivator from the Eastern Wasteland!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun swept his consciousness and instantly found the people holding a meeting in the meeting hall.
With a flash of his figure, he flew over!
