Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 662: Zhongzhou’s new dojo, Wangchuan Island?
After doing all this, Yama Zhenjun and others did not stay any longer and went straight back to the army.

Following his order, all the cultivators of the human race began to retreat towards the defense line.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun clasped his hands together and flashed to the two war boats driven by Jiang Wanning and Wang Lingfeng.

"Wan Ning, how are you guys?"

Zhou Xun asked with concern,
Although this decisive battle started off well but ended badly.

The fight was stopped shortly after it started, but many monks died.

"Sir!" Jiang Wanning bowed.
"With Fengzhong and Chiwu's protection, we will be fine!"

During the great battle, their flying boat was targeted by three fourth-order lower-grade demon kings.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun made preparations in advance.

He arranged for both spirit beasts to come over and successfully stopped the three demon kings.

Otherwise, with just these two flying boats, they would definitely not be their match.

"I'm glad you're okay!" Zhou Xun felt relieved after hearing that.

By the way, why are Wang Lingfeng and the others not here?

"This"

"Their flying boat was badly damaged, and Fellow Daoist Wang suffered considerable injuries. They retreated at the beginning of the battle!" Jiang Wanning said somewhat embarrassedly.

It turned out that Chi Wu and Feng Chong saw the three demon kings coming.
He decisively blocked Jiang Wanning's flying boat, but neglected Wang Lingfeng and the others.
He was not careful for a moment and was besieged by two demon kings.

Fortunately, they were able to escape unscathed, otherwise they would have found it difficult to explain to Master Qianchuan.

"Master, it's all our fault for not protecting us well. Please punish us!" At this time, Feng Zhong and Chi Wu apologized one after another.

But they do not regret the result.

Wang Lingfeng and Jiang Wanning, they both know which one is more important.

After a little thought, Zhou Xun understood their thoughts.

He couldn't help but curse:
"I asked you to protect them well. Wang Lingfeng is naturally among them. He is Brother Qianchuan's most proud disciple."

"If anything happens to him, how will I explain it?"

"Fortunately, he is fine now, otherwise I would have punished you severely!"

"Remember, this won't happen again!"

"Yes, we will follow our master's teachings!" The two beasts looked at each other and behaved very honestly.

"Master, why is this decisive battle suddenly not happening?" Jiang Wanning asked in surprise.

"Have you ever seen that figure controlling the entire battlefield for a few seconds?"

"Of course I saw it. What kind of magical power is this? It has such a wide range!" Jiang Wanning asked curiously.

"This is the legendary Divine Transformation Monk. The scale of this battle is so large that it has attracted these old monsters who have been hiding in the world!"

"I think he has mediated the fight between us and the demon clan, but I don't know what the conditions are!" Zhou Xun did not hide anything and told the reason directly.

"There really is a cultivator who has reached the state of Divine Transformation. I wonder what kind of demeanor he has!" Jiang Wanning exclaimed.

At this moment, two figures flew over.
One is a tall man with a beard, and the other is an old man with a refined temperament.
They are none other than Lord Tieshan and Lord Tianci.

"Brother Zhou, you're okay too, that's great!"

As soon as Master Tieshan came over, he laughed heartily.

"I am relieved to see that both of you are fine!" Now, the only good friend of his who has no news is Wang Erniu.

After a little inquiry, we learned that Wang Erniu was safe and sound. It was said that he had performed brilliantly in this battle.

Not only did he kill a peak third-order monster, he also blocked a low-grade demon king head-on. Those Jindan cultivators secretly regarded him as a Yuanying True Lord.

"Brother Zhou, you have friendships with the three leaders, have you ever found out why the truce is being reached and how long it will last?
"If we are to fall into a cold war again like before, it would be better to have a real fight and put an end to it once and for all!"

Tieshan said with a light shout.

"The leader of the alliance has not yet been informed of this matter. Since they met the senior in the God Transformation Stage, they arranged for everyone to withdraw their troops, but he did not show up either."

"I think there will be news after I return to the defense line!"

After returning, Zhou Xun came to his own base.

I saw that the warship was damaged a lot.
A hole over ten feet in size appeared on the side, which was obviously damaged by the fourth-level Demon King.

As for manpower, about one hundred people were killed.

When we arrived at the tent, we saw that Wang Lingfeng's face was pale and he was obviously seriously injured.

"Greetings to Senior Zhou!"

Seeing Zhou Xun coming in, Wang Lingfeng stood up and was about to greet him.

Zhou Xun waved his hand, and a gentle force helped him down.

"I heard that you were injured, so I came to see how you are now?" He came to his side, grabbed his wrist, input magic power and began to investigate.

"Thank you for your concern, senior!" Wang Lingfeng said slowly.

After a moment, Zhou Xun raised his head.

"Fortunately, your foundation has not been damaged, so it won't affect your future practice!"

Wang Lingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

At that time, he rushed forward with the war boat. In his heart, he thought that he represented the True Lord Qianchuan, so he naturally had to make some contributions.
So when facing the siege of two demon kings, he was not afraid at all and resolutely counterattacked.

This resulted in damage to the flying boat and he himself suffered considerable injuries.

Fortunately, the Earth Beast Feng Zhong remembered Zhou Xun's instructions and blocked a Demon King, which allowed him to retreat.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Xun reached for his waist, took out a pill, and handed it to Wang Lingfeng:

"This is a fourth-level healing elixir. It will be of great benefit to your injuries. Take it now!"

"Thank you, senior!" Wang Lingfeng took the elixir without refusing and showed a grateful look.

Apart from his master Qianchuan Zhenjun, Zhou Xun can be said to be the second person who treats him so well.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.
Then the Earth Beast Feng Zhong walked in:
"Master, Alliance Leader Yu sent someone to discuss something important and asked you to come over!"

"Okay, I got it!" Zhou Xun nodded, lowered his head and gave Wang Lingfeng a few instructions, then walked out the door.

Walking towards the largest tent in the entire defense line.

On the way, Zhou Xun met the Nine Swords Master and immediately rushed over to him:
"Brother Jiujian!"

"So it's Brother Zhou. Today you fought against Master Lei Yu with all your might. You're no less impressive than a great cultivator!"

When he saw Zhou Xun, Lord Nine Swords was extremely enthusiastic and bowed with a smile.

He was extremely respectful to his capable colleagues, not to mention the relationship between Zhou Xun and him and Wang Erniu.

Naturally, we are closer.

"Brother Dao, you are too kind. I only fought him to a draw. Brother Dao defeated the Demon King Qingxiao. If the battle had not ended too early,

"It's possible to cut it down!"

The two chatted and soon arrived at their destination.
It was the same tent where the last meeting took place, and Lord Yama and the other three leaders were already sitting at the top.

After nodding slightly as a greeting, he went straight to the thirteenth chair and sat down.

Soon, people came in one after another.

When there were only five spots left in the tent, Lord Yan Mo waved his hand and opened the ban.
This will prevent others from snooping.

Looking at the empty seats in the venue, Zhou Xun couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, the first thing was the news about them.

I saw Yan Mo Zhenjun stood up and said with a heavy face:
"Although this war was stopped for some reason, many of our fellow human beings also died. They all died in the war for our human race. We should remember this!"

"True Lord Zhengfeng, True Lord Jiuan, True Lord Huangping." Twenty-three names were recited in succession.

Five of them were the same people who had discussed the matter together last time. After everyone finished mourning, Yan Mo Zhenjun talked about the second thing.

"Second, it's about this war!"

"This ceasefire does not mean that we have reconciled with the demon tribe, but that we have something more important to deal with!"

Then, Lord Yama announced the news that the ghost world had invaded and the passage between the two worlds had been opened again.

“Therefore, Yun Ku Tianjun came here to stop us from fighting the demon clan and retain fresh troops to deal with the ghost clan that is about to invade our world!”

Hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel moved.
'Yun Ku Tian Jun, his name is the same as Master Yun Ku! ' Zhou Xun thought, and then recalled the days when he was in Hongyefang.

Thinking of the old man's back that appeared in the morning, it seemed really familiar.

A bold idea suddenly came to my mind.

'Master Yunku and Yunku Tianjun can't be the same person!'

But soon, he shook his head again.

'impossible! ’

'One is a foundation-building alchemist, and the other is a spirit-transforming alchemist. How could they be the same person?'

Soon, he dismissed this ridiculous idea.

Continue to listen to Yan Mo Zhenjun's introduction:
"Compared to the demon tribe, the ghost tribe is our real enemy!"

"They came here not only to drive us away, but also to change the world and turn our human world into an environment suitable for their ghost clan, turning it all into a ghost domain."

"With such a powerful enemy ahead of us, the affairs of the demon clan are naturally nothing!"

"So after resolving the dispute with the demon clan this time, we will reorganize the army and rush to the Western Desert Cultivation Realm to fight against the Ghost Realm!"

Hearing this, everyone started talking.

My mood also became heavy.

The demon race is only a small force in the human world, but it has already caused such a huge loss of life.
Now facing the ghosts from another world, the number of our fellow Taoists who will die by then will probably be several times more than it is now.

It is possible that all the people in the field died there.

You know, in this kind of war between the two worlds, even if you have become a god, there is a danger of destruction.

"Then did the demon tribe withdraw its troops just like that? Did the two tribes just shake hands and make peace?"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue gown spoke indignantly.

Among those who died today was his younger brother.

The two depended on each other for survival, advanced to the Nascent Soul stage together, and promised to stay together until death.
Unexpectedly, one of them has already passed away.

How could he not avenge such a great hatred?

"Of course I didn't stop. This is the third thing I want to tell you!"

Lord Yan Mo shook his head and continued:

"This is the final solution between us and the demon race!"

"This matter was witnessed and established by our clan's Yunku Tianjun and the demon clan's Jinbi Yaojun. There is absolutely no way to change it or regret it."

"I don't know what method to use, please give me some advice, leader!" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man calmed down and asked with a bow.

"It's the battle in the ring!"

"One month later, outside Zhenhai Immortal City!"

"My tribe and the demon tribe each selected five Nascent Soul early stage cultivators to fight,"

"The loser retreats, and the winner stays until all the people on one side are eliminated!"

"The two gods will be here in person to witness this battle!"

"This way we can resolve the dispute between the two tribes and avoid too many casualties!"

"More importantly, if we win, the border between the two tribes will continue to extend three million miles into the South China Sea!"

Lord Yama spoke slowly.

"In this way, we will have the opportunity to expand our territory. This is a great opportunity!"

Hearing this, everyone became excited.

Expanding territory is a major event worthy of being recorded in historical books, and all of them will have their names recorded in it!

This is absolutely an incomparable honor!

"In this case, we should carefully select these five candidates. I suggest that we first hold a competition among our human race."

"Find the five strongest fighters. This will give you the best chance of winning!"

An old man with gray hair suggested.

"Haha, could it be that Fellow Daoist Feng Yu has forgotten Master Wang Chuan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people slapped their thighs!
"Yes, Master Wangchuan is very powerful, and even a fourth-level upper-grade existence like Thunder Feather Demon King can stand up to him."

"I subconsciously overlooked Brother Zhou's true cultivation level. He is still at the early stage of the Nascent Soul!"

"We have a great monk on our side. It will be hard to lose in this ring battle!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed with it, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed!

At this time, Lord Yan Mo turned his gaze towards Zhou Xun and said with a smile:

"Brother Zhou, you are now the most popular choice. Are you willing to fight on behalf of our human race?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun immediately stood up and bowed to the people around him:

"Thank you for your appreciation, I will take full responsibility for this matter!"

What a joke! The atmosphere has already been set. If he really dares to avoid the fight, he will offend everyone here in an instant.

"With Brother Zhou on the field, our chances of winning this battle are at least 90%."

"But there are five people in this battle after all. They must be the best among the lower-grade demon kings!"

"Four more people need to be selected!"

Lord Yama glanced at everyone and spoke.

"This is a simple matter. In addition to Master Zhou, Master Tianci is also a leader in terms of combat power."

"Not inferior to the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"

"He has killed a mid-level demon king before, so Tianci Zhenjun should be considered a candidate!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Yan Mo nodded. Lord Tianci was also among the crowd, so he asked:
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Ji?"

"Ji will definitely go all out!"

Next, everyone selected the remaining three people.

They are the newly promoted great thunder cultivator and Lord Leiyu.

Wei Chang'an, the direct disciple of True Lord Xuanlang, was promoted to Nascent Soul through the Immortal Golden Elixir!

And the one who has reached the fourth-level middle grade in body training and surpassed the Buddhist and Taoist Nascent Soul who has practiced Qi training—Master Kujie!
Seeing that the candidate was confirmed, Lord Yan Mo was extremely happy and continued:

"If we win this battle, our Zhongzhou territory will be expanded by three million miles, and the five Taoist friends will become heroes of our human race. By then, even if you want a fourth-level spiritual island, it will not be impossible!"

Everyone knows that there are six or seven fourth-level spiritual islands within the newly acquired territory.

This is especially true for Zhou Xun.

After all, he was born in the Eastern Wilderness and did not have his own temple in Central Continent.

"At that time, you can choose a fourth-level spiritual island as your new training ground, and the name will be Wangchuan Island!"
