Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 680: Secrets of the human world, Shan Xionghai’s current situation!

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, reached out to help Wang Erniu up, and said:

"There's no need to be so polite between us brothers. Now that you have successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, my Eastern Wasteland has gained another powerful force."

Now is the time when the ghost fog is breaking out. The addition of a cultivator like Wang Erniu, whose strength is no less than that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, can be said to be a great benefit.

"Brother, I will return all the thirteen top-grade spirit stones you spent in the future!" Wang Erniu continued.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun smiled and nodded without refutation.

As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly, let alone thirteen top-grade spirit stones, which are equivalent to his salary in Zhenhai Fairy City for more than two hundred years.
At this moment, the people who were watching the ceremony also gathered around.

Different complexions,

Xu Shaoqing was the first to step forward and congratulated him, "Congratulations to Senior Wang for his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. From now on, our Eastern Wasteland has one more powerful person. This is a blessing for our Eastern Wasteland. With Senior Wang here, we will have more confidence in fighting against the ghost fog."

Next to her, Xing Huaian had a complicated expression. He really didn't expect that,
The little brother who followed Zhou Xun back then actually achieved the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit.
However, he, as the most talented person in Baiyun Immortal City at that time, only condensed a low-grade true pill.
It might be a luxury to advance to the middle stage of Jindan in this lifetime!
Such a gap made him feel extremely complicated, but facing a new Yuanying Zhenjun, he had to step forward to pay his respects and congratulate him.

As for Luo Yuancheng, he looked at Wang Erniu curiously, his eyes flashing with excitement. He stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Uncle Wang, you faced the thunder tribulation with your sword infant. It is truly admirable!"

Back then, Wang Erniu had just arrived in the South China Sea, but he had lived on Tianfu Island for a long time, so he was very familiar with Wang Erniu.

Now that Wang Erniu has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he is extremely happy, and it has also aroused his own desire to pursue the Tao.

'I will do the same in the future!'

On the other side, Wang Shun looked at his father excitedly, his heart full of pride. His father had now been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, which made him more determined in his path of cultivation.

He secretly vowed to practice hard and live up to the expectations of his father and master!

Tears glistened in Lin Xue'e's eyes; she was extremely proud of her husband.

Who would have thought that a little son-in-law of the Lin family in the past would one day become a Nascent Soul.

"Okay, Erniu has just entered the Nascent Soul stage and needs time to stabilize his state. You can go back first."

"I'm sure you all have gained a lot from this Nascent Soul advancement scene. This is a good opportunity to digest some of it!"

Looking at the heated expressions of the people in the room, Zhou Xun spoke slowly.
Everyone then dispersed and returned to their caves.

Island in the middle of the lake, meditation pavilion.

Wang Erniu and Zhou Xun sat opposite each other.

"Erniu, congratulations, you have finally taken this step. This glass of wine is to celebrate for you!"

As he said this, he raised the wine glass in his hand, clinked it with Wang Erniu, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Thank you, big brother!" After Wang Erniu made a breakthrough, he felt much more relaxed.

"By the way, have you made any progress in swordsmanship since you were promoted to the Nascent Soul stage this time?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

In fact, he can be considered as a half-sword cultivator.
The method of the Tianyuan Sword Formation was taught to him by Wang Erniu.

"Come to think of it, there are quite a few!" Wang Erniu said excitedly:

"Especially that thunder tribulation, which made me realize a hint of destruction, and added it to my sword intent."

"I'm afraid it has great power!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but reveal an envious look.
Wang Erniu is indeed extremely talented in the art of swordsmanship, and his talent is increasingly displayed as his skills improve!
It's a pity that he is a Dharma cultivator.
Unable to cultivate the sword intent, he could not learn Wang Erniu’s sword art.

"Erniu, now that you have reached the Nascent Soul stage, can you deduce the sword shadow into a secret method to a higher level?"

Zhou Xun talked about another secret method!
This secret technique has four levels in total, which can increase the power of the flying sword by two times, and can be regarded as a first-class sword secret technique.

Before this, Zhou Xun used the Xuan Ting Thunder Sword in conjunction with the 'Sword and Shadow Become One' technique, and his strength was close to that of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!
It's a pity that both of them have already reached the peak of their practice.

If he can continue to deduced and move forward, Zhou Xun's strength will be improved again!
Hearing this, Wang Erniu smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"This technique is extremely extraordinary. With my current attainments, I cannot innovate or make further progress!"

From his current perspective, the art of sword shadow becoming one is very likely a secret sword technique at the level of incarnation!
To know,
The Nine Swords Master also has a similar secret method of power explosion, but the power increase is only 1.5 times.

Far inferior to 'Sword Shadow Becomes One'!
Not to mention that this secret technique is still an incomplete one.

"That's such a pity!" Zhou Xun sighed.
Although he was also talented in swordsmanship, and even as talented as Wang Erniu, his focus was not on this.

Before this, practicing swordsmanship only increased fighting skills and improved strength.

If he really studies hard, he won't be able to do it.

All we can do is to adopt and practice ready-made methods.

"If I succeed in deducing it in the future, I will tell you, big brother!" said Wang Erniu.

Then he changed the subject and asked about the ghost fog:

"Brother, is that ghost fog really so troublesome? Is it really impossible to eliminate it and completely solve it?"

"Ugh!"

"At best, it can be suppressed, but it cannot be solved!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun's face was also full of worry.

Although he can now suppress the ghost fog and trap it in one place, he cannot truly solve it!

After all, it involves matters from another ghost world.

The two worlds are connected, creating a space gap, through which the ghost fog escapes, and the ghost clan also takes advantage of this to invade.

Fortunately, this is just a small gap. Until now, only Jindan stage ghosts have appeared.

They can still solve it.

"I have already made a breakthrough, so just give me instructions in the future, big brother!"

Then, the two chatted until late at night before dispersing.

At the same time, in the Western Desert Cultivation World.

Inside a certain camp, five figures gathered together.

The leader had a handsome face, a fiery red Taoist robe, and a palm-sized gourd hanging around his waist. He looked extremely unruly.

It was none other than the ancestor of Luoyang Immortal Palace, and the only cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm of the human race—Fang Jiuzun.

The person on his left was wearing a pitch-black robe, with a pale face and an extremely cold look. He was the ancestor of the Samsara Palace, the Six Paths Demon Lord.
On the right is a skinny old man wearing a yellow Taoist robe. He looks only about six feet tall, but he gives people a very majestic feeling.
He seems to be a superior who has been in a high position for a long time.

This person is the ancestor of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty - Ji Wanren.

As for the remaining two people, they were Master Yun Ku and Jinbi Demon King whom Zhou Xun had met.

The six gods gathered here because of the ghost fog.

"Brother Yun, Fellow Daoist Jin, you two went to Zhongzhou this time to mediate the war between the human and demon races there. It must have been hard work!"

Fang Jiuzun, Lord Luoyang, spoke slowly.

"It's all for the human world, why bother!" Master Yun Ku shook his head.

Fang Jiuzun nodded when he heard this, and then looked at the old man in black robe:
"Fellow Daoist Wu, how is the ghost fog passage in your Samsara Continent?"

Of the thirteen continents in the human world, five suppress the passage to the ghost world. Now, the Ximo Xiuxian world in Zhongzheng Continent has been completely opened.

Every day, countless ghost armies emerge.

Now it has occupied one third of the Western Desert Cultivation World!

Fortunately, the human race was well prepared and confined them here.

"My ghost fog passage is intact, there is no problem, but..."

"But the situation in Fengyuan Continent does not seem optimistic. There are signs of breakthroughs, and ghost fog cracks have reappeared in various parts of Fengyuan Continent." "Now Fellow Daoist Jiang has gone to deal with it!" the old man said slowly.

Fellow Daoist Jiang is naturally the God of Transformation of Fengyuan Continent, Jiang Taifang of Taixu Temple.

The middle-aged man Zhou Xun met in Fengyuan that year was this person.

"With Lord Xiong and Fellow Daoist Jiang there, suppressing the passage to the ghost world shouldn't be a problem!"

"It seems that the only place we have to deal with is the Western Desert!"

Fang Jiuzun said slowly.

There are two passages to the ghost world, one located in the Luoyang Continent where his Luoyang Palace is located.

And the Jin Continent where the Great Jin Dynasty was located.

"At present, reinforcements from various places have arrived one after another, and the matter of leading them will be handed over to Fellow Daoist Ji!"

As the ancestor of the Jin Dynasty, Ji Wanren has extensive experience in leading troops. He has led the army of monks to fight against demons and suppress evil on many occasions.

"Just leave it to me now!" The old man nodded slightly.

Then, everyone discussed for a long time before slowly dispersing.

When Master Yun Ku returned to his tent, he saw a tall, resolute-looking young man sitting inside.
The skin was faintly glowing, and one could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.

"Master, you are back!"

Seeing Master Yun Ku coming in, Shan Xionghai hurriedly stood up and saluted.

This person is Zhou Xun's childhood friend, Shan Xionghai. (See Chapter 5 of Volume 1)

After being taken away by Master Yunku, he has been staying in the Great Jin Dynasty to practice. Recently, Master Yunku brought him to the Western Desert Cultivation World.

Deal with the ghost fog and hone yourself.

Master Yun Ku nodded, came to the young man, and said slowly:

"Xiong Hai, do you remember how many years it has been since you left Donghuang with me?"

"More than one hundred and ninety years!"

Although he didn't know why his master asked this question, he still answered honestly.

"Over one hundred and ninety years later, do you still remember the people and events of those years?"

"I wonder what Master means?" Shan Xionghai was puzzled.

"Do you remember Zhou Xun?" Master Yun Ku said with a smile.

"Zhou Xun, of course I remember him, he is my brother!" Shan Xionghai said with a look of reminiscence.

"This time when I went to Zhongzhou, I met your brother!" Then, Master Yun Ku briefly talked about Zhou Xun's deeds.

"what!"

"You mean Xun Ge'er has also advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and even defeated the Purple Dragon of the Dragon Clan!"

"But isn't it true that there is no heaven and earth energy in the East Desert, and we can only cultivate to the stage of Dan formation?"

"Besides, he is only about 200 years old. How could he condense his Nascent Soul so quickly?"

Shan Xionghai was greatly shocked. He had the current level of cultivation because he became a disciple of Master Yun Ku, a spiritual master.
With the full support of such a powerful person, he was able to condense his Nascent Soul at the age of 200.

And how did Zhou Xun do it by himself?
Not to mention defeating the purple dragon,

He had fought with this man before, and they had only managed to draw. But now Zhou Xun was able to defeat him.

Doesn’t it mean that

I can't even compare to Brother Xun.
How could he not be shocked? It took him a long time to digest the news.

Then he looked at Master Yun Ku and asked with a smile:
"Master, I asked you to take him in as your disciple, but you refused. Do you regret it now?"

Master Yun Ku heard this, sighed, nodded without rebutting, and then said:
"Do you want to go back and take a look?" asked Master Yun Ku.

"go back?"

Shan Xionghai was stunned at first, and then showed a look of surprise:
"Can I really go back?"

"Of course you can. Now that you have been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, it's time to go back and take a look!"

"Now that the East Wasteland is trapped in the disaster of ghost fog, you possess my Buddhist magical powers, which is just right to restrain them!"

"Besides, this ghost world's spiritual fog can only be wiped out by my Buddhist magic array!"

"This time, you can bring the 'Five Elements Demon Subduing Formation' with you. Your little brother is now a fourth-level formation master, so you can give him this formation!"

"Yes, Master!" Shan Xionghai couldn't help showing a look of surprise. Suddenly he thought of something and asked again:
"By the way, Master, could the 'Empty Seal' that seals the gap between the two worlds and the 'Tathagata Seal' that suppresses the ghosts be passed on to him?"

"Of course!" Master Yun Ku nodded, and then added,
"But these two magical powers are from my Buddhist and Taoist powers. Your brother is a Dharma practitioner, so I'm afraid he can't practice them!"

"Xun brother is smart even though he is young, who knows!" Shan Xionghai said.

"Okay, you go now!" Master Yun Ku waved his hand.

Shan Xionghai bowed and saluted, then left the tent and flew towards the nearest teleportation array.

Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World,
That day, after Wang Erniu left, Zhou Xun came to Tianhan City, to the cave of Master Tieshan.

During this period, both Master Tianci and Master Tieshan returned to their own caves to live. At the same time, everyone in Tianhan City also knew that Master Tianci and Master Tieshan had not passed away.

Then he went out to look for a chance to have a baby.

Now the baby has been successfully conceived and returned.

"Brother Zhou is here!"

Seeing Zhou Xun coming, Master Tieshan was extremely happy and hurriedly welcomed Zhou Xun in.

"I guess you're asking about the warship!"

"Brother, your eyesight is really sharp. It's about this matter. I wonder how you are doing with your studies?" Zhou Xun nodded and asked.

As the pinnacle of the combination of weapon and formation, the war flying boat has extraordinary power.
It requires precise cooperation between a fourth-level formation master and a fourth-level equipment refiner to refine it.

"The method of refining this flying boat is indeed sophisticated. Even I am really impressed!"

"I have already completed my study during this period of time. I have simulated each part in my mind dozens of times. Now all I have to do is refine the actual materials!"

The way of Lord Tieshan.

"it is good!"

Zhou Xun clapped his hands in praise, then took out a storage bag from his waist and handed it over:

"Here are three sets of materials for refining war flying boats, which are just what Brother Yu is familiar with!"

These are all Zhou Xun's previous spoils of war, plus the secret treasures of Tianhan City and Wangchuan Lake.
That makes three full portions!

Master Tieshan was overjoyed and said quickly:

"Don't worry, my dear brother. I will definitely make three flying boats for you!"

As a veteran fourth-rank weapon refiner, he has this confidence.

After all, during the years of the war between humans and demons, a lot of fourth-level materials have appeared, and many people have come to him to refine magic weapons.

Although his years of experience are still short, his experience and skills are not inferior at all!
