Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 663: Top-grade Thunder Wings, the battle on the ring begins!

The candidate has been determined.
The next step is to determine the battle strategy.

Even in a ring battle like this, one must pay attention to the methods and techniques.

This is especially true when the strength of both sides is not much different.
Zhou Xun is powerful, but those that the demon clan can send out to participate in the war must not be ordinary monsters. They must be beings with top-notch talents, magical powers, and bloodlines.

If Zhou Xun is placed first, even if he can win the first two games, his mana consumption will be too great and there is a risk of losing later on.

"Our greatest guarantee for this duel is still Master Wangchuan. I suggest placing him last!"

"This way we can rest easy while waiting for the hard work!"

Tianyi Zhenjun made a suggestion.

"Yes, he is at the end, so there is no need to worry about the problem of excessive mana consumption among the ones in front!" Lord Yama nodded slightly.

"As for the top four, I think Master Kujie should be ranked first," Tianyi Zhenjun continued.

"The master is a body-refining cultivator who has a record of killing a mid-level demon king. His fighting power is long-lasting and fierce!"

"First, we can take the lead and win the first game, which will boost morale. Second, the master's fighting power is long-lasting, so we can consume the opponent as much as possible."

"Laying the foundation for the next companion!"

"As for the second and third, we should choose one from the two True Lords, Thunder Prison and Chang'an. They have only been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago and are not good at long-term battles."

"It just so happens that Master Kujie has consumed a lot of the second demon, so Master Leiyu and the other two can use this to win."

"Even if we can't win, the second place will definitely cost us a lot, so our third place can easily win!"

"As for the fourth one, it will be Tianci Zhenjun. He is very powerful and will definitely give the demon race a pleasant surprise!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded.
The order of battle was determined.

After the meeting, Zhou Xun returned to the base.
Then, they all followed the main force and retreated back to Zhenhai Fairy City.

Zhou Xun brought Jiang Wanning, Chiwu Spirit Turtle and others back to his cave.

"Now that the war is finally over, we can finally live a peaceful life!" Jiang Wanning couldn't help but sigh.

Since the invasion of the demons, this war has lasted for decades, and countless human cultivators have died in this war.

Zhou Xun heard this and shook his head secretly.

The news of the invasion of the ghost world has not been announced yet, and only these dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators know about it.

Compared with the war between the two tribes,
The battle between the two worlds is truly brutal. Once they fail, the entire human world will be transformed into a ghost realm without any trace of human habitation.

But Zhou Xun did not tell her the truth.
In this way you can enjoy the remaining peace.

After rearranging and settling the cave, Zhou Xun went out to visit Master Tieshan.

Now, there is only one month left before the war with the demon clan.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he planned to ask Master Tieshan for help to upgrade his Thunder Wings to a higher level.

Previously, when he was fighting against the Thunder Feather Demon King, he had killed a fourth-order low-grade Thunder Peng, and its wings were just right for upgrading the Thunder Wings.

'It's a pity that the Thunder Feather Demon King is too strong and I can't defeat him!'

'Otherwise, if we use his pair of Thunder Wings as the main material and upgrade the Thunder Wings, maybe we can directly upgrade it to a top-grade magic weapon!'

He sighed and then walked out of the cave.

The cave of Master Tieshan was not far from Zhou Xun's home, and he arrived there in half a quarter of an hour.

He took out a sound transmission note, whispered a few words, and then punched it.
Then, a tall man with a happy face walked out.

"Brother Zhou, how can you have time to come to my place!"

"Of course I have something to ask for your help, Brother!" Zhou Xun said with a slight bow.

"Then come in and have a chat!" As he said that, he opened the door and invited Zhou Xun in.

Arriving at the reception room, the host and the guest took their seats.

Master Tieshan waved his hand, and a wine jar about the size of a foot appeared on the table, along with it.

There are also two red translucent wine glasses.
It is obviously made of top-grade fire-attributed jade and is worth a lot of money.

Pick up the wine jar, shake off the mud seal,
Instantly, the aroma of wine wafted out, accompanied by a strong fire spiritual power.

"This jar of Dan Yuan wine is made from the fire-attributed demon pill you brought last time. It's a good opportunity to try it today!"

As he said this, he picked up the jar of wine and started pouring it out.

The wine poured into the glass like a red line, rippling in the crimson glass and sparkling.

Zhou Xun picked up the wine glass and took a sip. A mellow and warm current instantly spread in his mouth. The fire spiritual power flowed down his throat, warming his whole body.

"Good wine!" Zhou Xun exclaimed.

Master Tieshan laughed and drank the wine in one gulp. "Brother Zhou, tell me, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Xun put down his wine glass, his expression became serious, and he said:
"Brother Dao, to be honest, I came here this time to ask you to help me upgrade my Thunder Wings to a higher level."

"When I was fighting the Thunder Feather Demon King before, I killed a fourth-order low-grade Thunder Peng. Its wings can be used as materials to upgrade the Thunder Wings."

The plan to use the wings of a thunder-attributed demon bird as an upgrade to the Thunder Wings was personally designated by True Lord Tieshan.

Upon hearing this, Master Tieshan was delighted and said, "I didn't expect that you would get the materials so quickly."

"The Thunder Wings are already a rare magic weapon. If they can be enhanced with the Thunder Peng Wings, they will definitely reach a higher level!"

"However, upgrading this magic weapon is not an easy task. It requires a lot of materials and energy. Let me first take a look at your Thunder Wings!"

Zhou Xun said: "Brother, please take a look!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the wings of the fourth-level lower-grade Thunder Peng appeared on the scene.

True Lord Tieshan immediately looked carefully and saw that lightning was faintly flickering and arcs of electricity were jumping on the wings of Thunder Peng, emitting a powerful aura of thunder.

Master Tieshan nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"The quality of these Thunder Peng wings is excellent. They are indeed from a fourth-level monster. They are indeed excellent materials for upgrading the Thunder Wings. However, these wings alone are not enough. We also need some auxiliary materials."

Zhou Xun asked quickly, "What other materials are needed? Just tell me, I will do my best to find them."

Master Tieshan smiled slightly and said, "We need thousand-year-old thunder spirit wood, thunder marrow fluid, and star sand!"

"But, I'm already prepared!"

As he waved his hand, three rare materials appeared in front of him.

But when Zhou Xun asked him to discuss the upgrade plan for the Thunder Wings, he started collecting them.
After so many years, I finally collected them all.

Zhou Xun's eyes showed surprise, and he quickly bowed and said, "Brother Dao, I am very grateful for your help."

Master Tieshan waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so polite between you and me!"

Zhou Xun thanked him again, put his hands together, and pointed to his waist.
Then, a purple light flew out and turned into a purple winged creature about an inch in size with a crystal-clear body.
There were flashes of lightning all around.

It was his Thunder Wings.

Looking at the Thunder Wings, Master Tieshan nodded:
"Brother, this magic weapon is so brilliant that even if you refine these fourth-level thunder wings into it, I think it will be able to be upgraded to the upper level in half a year at most!"

"It's only a hundred years. I don't think my brother can wait!"

It should be noted that Zhou Xun has only been practicing for two hundred years. In another hundred years, he might have been promoted to a great monk by then!
By then, the Thunder Wings will be even more useless!

"Next, I will hand over this magic weapon to you, Brother Dao!" "Haha, don't worry, but upgrading the Thunder Wings is not an easy task, it requires careful refining."

Master Tieshan laughed and continued:
"It may take half a month at the fastest, or several months at the slowest. You go back and wait for the news. I will let you know when I succeed."

"Then I will wait for good news!"

The two then chatted for a long time before leaving Master Tieshan's cave.

When I returned to my residence, it was already evening.

Passing by the insect room, I saw the swallowtail butterfly and the thousand-winged insect occupying each side, clearly separated.

After so many years of living together, the two insects have become relatively harmonious.

Looking at the swallowtail butterfly sleeping soundly inside, Zhou Xun felt extremely satisfied.

The swallowtail butterfly has undergone two metamorphosis and has been of great assistance to him.
This time, during the battle against the Thunder Feather Demon King, it successfully mesmerized him, buying itself a moment to perform the "Nine Days of Thunder Tribulation".

You know, it is only at the third level now.

“I wonder what kind of abilities he will have when he reaches the fourth level!”

Zhou Xun was extremely looking forward to it.

For the following time, Zhou Xun stayed in the cave to rest and adjust his condition.

at the same time,

The news that the human and demon races had stopped fighting and would instead decide the outcome through a ring battle began to spread throughout the Immortal City.

The names of the five True Lords who participated in the war also spread among the people.

At this time, they knew,
Among their human race, there actually emerged a True Lord who was as powerful as a great cultivator.

I couldn't help but feel full of confidence in this war.

"With Lord Wangchuan here, our human race will surely win this time!" In a teahouse, guests were discussing the arena battle between the two races in a month's time.

"Yes, I heard that Master Wangchuan has unfathomable strength. With him in the team, our human race has a great chance of winning." Another guest echoed.

"By then, our South China Sea territory will be able to expand another 3 million miles southward!"

"The deeper you go into the South China Sea, the more opportunities there are. After the war, our Central Continent will surely usher in a great era!"

Everyone was talking at once, looking forward to the upcoming fight.

And in this atmosphere of expectation, time passes quietly.

Zhou Xun practiced and adjusted his condition every day in the cave.

Others also knew that Zhou Xun was about to fight on behalf of the human race, so they did not come to disturb him.

As the days go by, the day of the ring battle is getting closer.

Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart. He knew the importance of this battle. It not only concerned the fate of the human race, but also the future of himself and those around him.

Finally, there are only three days left until the ring battle.

On this day, Zhou Xun was practicing in the cave when suddenly a sound transmission note came flying, landed above the restriction, and flew left and right!

Zhou Xun flicked his finger and a stream of spiritual power shot up.
Then, the voice of Master Tieshan came from the sound transmission note: "Brother Zhou, the Thunder Wings have been refined. Come and see them quickly."

Zhou Xun was delighted and immediately stood up and flew towards the cave of Master Tieshan.

A moment later, he arrived at the door of Tieshan Zhenjun's cave. Tieshan Zhenjun had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Zhou Xun coming, a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Zhou, follow me." Master Tieshan said, and then led Zhou Xun into the cave.

When I arrived at the weapon refining room, I saw a pair of purple wings flashing with lightning quietly floating in the air.

It was his own Thunder Wings.

The aura of the Thunder Wings at this moment was even more fierce than before, and there was an extraordinary spiritual aura flowing around it!

True Lord Tieshan looked at Benlei Wing and said with satisfaction:
"After this period of meticulous refining, the Thunder Wings have finally successfully advanced to the level of a top-grade magic weapon. Among the many top-grade magic weapons I have refined!"

"This treasure can be the most satisfying one!"

Zhou Xun stretched out his hand and the Thunder Wings fell into his hand. He felt a strong sense of connection. He could feel the powerful force contained in the Thunder Wings and his heart was filled with joy and gratitude.

"Thank you, Brother Daoist!" Zhou Xun thanked Master Tieshan again.

Master Tieshan waved his hand and said, "Given our relationship, there's no need to be so polite!"

"In three days, you will represent the human race in battle. I won't keep you any longer. I will celebrate with you after the battle!"

"Then I'll wait to drink the wine that my brother prepared!"

Zhou Xun laughed, took the Thunder Wings into his body, then said goodbye and left.

Soon, three days passed.
Finally, the day has arrived for the battle between the two tribes to begin.

Zhou Xun got up early, put on a brand new robe, checked his magic weapons, walked out of the bedroom door, and saw Jiang Wanning and Chiwu Linggui waiting at the door.

Jiang Wanning's eyes were full of worry and expectation. She whispered, "Young Master, you must be careful!"

Although Zhou Xun is very powerful, she still can't help but worry.

The monsters that the demon clan can send to participate in the war must not be ordinary monsters!
Zhou Xun looked at Jiang Wanning, nodded, and said, "Don't worry!"

"Master, can the two of us participate in this battle together?" Feng Zhong asked.

After all, these two monsters are Zhou Xun's spiritual beasts, so it is only natural for them to fight together.

But Zhou Xun refused.

The two demons were only at the lower level of demon king realm, and they couldn't be of much help to him now.

Naturally, there is no need to participate!
After a few brief greetings, Zhou Xun walked out.

Go straight to the Zhenhai Hall.

"Brother, you're here!" Tianci Zhenjun greeted with a smile.

The five of them gathered here now and headed out of the city together.

"Haha, with Brother Dao's help this time, maybe I won't have to do anything!"

According to the rules agreed upon by both parties, if all the candidates of the demon race have been defeated by Tianci Zhenjun,
This counts as a victory for the human race, so naturally there is no need for Zhou Xun to take action.

While they were discussing, Lord Yama and Lord Tianyi also walked in.

He came in front of Zhou Xun and the others and bowed solemnly:
"Friend Ji, Brother Zhou, this time, the fate of our South China Sea is in your hands!"

This ceremony represents the entire human race in Central Continent.

"Don't worry, leader. We will go all out. This fourth-level spiritual island is mine!" Zhou Xun said with a hearty smile.

He had already looked at the map, and after this victory,
There are a total of six fourth-level spiritual islands in the newly acquired territory, two of which possess fourth-level mid-grade spiritual veins.

Zhou Xun took a fancy to the one that was 400,000 miles away from Tianfu Island.

"With your words, I feel relieved!"

Lord Yama nodded, then encouraged everyone with a few words, and then without staying for too long, they all headed out of the city!
