Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 691 Could it be possible that I, Zhou Xun, could get the position of Palace Lord?
"January?"

A trace of shock flashed across the middle-aged monk's eyes.
"You were able to learn it within a month. This talent is truly unique. Even in my Taixu Temple, few people can match it."

Zhou Xun bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your praise, Senior. It is just that I have some experience in the use of thunder spirit power, so I was lucky enough to succeed."

The middle-aged monk nodded slightly, his eyes full of admiration: "You are able to combine your own advantages with the seal method, this is your extraordinary ability!"

Then he turned his gaze towards Shan Xionghai,
"Xiong Hai, why did you bring him here this time?"

Shan Xionghai stepped forward and said with a grin, "Uncle Master, my brother Zhou Xun and I want to go to Dajin, but Fengyuan is so vast that it will take too long to fly directly, so I ask for help from you, uncle master."

The middle-aged man heard this and showed a helpless look:

"Fine!"

The middle-aged man made hand gestures and pointed at Zhou Xun and Shan Xionghai.
Zhou Xun felt a faint light attached to his body surface.

"Later, when we cross space, the pressure will be extremely high. This spiritual light can protect us from harm!"

Shan Xionghai explained.

Then, the middle-aged man grabbed one of them with one hand, his figure flashed, and then he and Zhou Xun suddenly disappeared from the spot.

This is the unique magical power of the Jindan cultivator, which allows him to teleport over long distances.

Zhou Xun only felt a flash before his eyes, the world was spinning, and the surrounding space force pressed towards him like a surging tide.

But the layer of faint light attached to his body surface played a magical role, blocking all the spatial pressure and protecting him from harm.

After several hours, the dizzy feeling of traveling through space suddenly disappeared.

"Okay, Taixuguan has received it!" A gentle voice sounded.

Zhou Xun calmed himself down and found himself in a completely new environment.

The place is shrouded in clouds and mist, with faint fairy music floating in the air. In the distance, there are undulating mountains, and each peak exudes a rich spiritual energy, forming a dreamy spiritual mist around the mountain.

"The concentration of spiritual energy is at least at the fourth-grade level!" Zhou Xun couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course. As one of the few spiritual forces in the human world that have reached the state of spiritual transformation, Taixu Temple's spiritual veins are naturally of the fourth-grade supreme level!"

“Even in Master Uncle Jiang’s cave, there is a small section that has reached the fifth level. Otherwise, it would not be able to support Master Uncle Jiang’s cultivation!” Shan Xionghai nodded.

"As expected of a top-notch cultivator in the human world, I wonder when I can live in a cave like this!" Zhou Xun secretly said in his heart, and then looked at Jiang Taifang beside him.
Bow and thank you:

"Thank you, Senior Jiang!"

As a dignified divine cultivator, he helped them on their journey and could be said to be completely humble.

"It's okay. Since you are here at Taixu Temple, you can take a good look around. I will let Xiong Hai take you through everything!"

After saying this, his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.

"Would you like to take a walk around Taixu Temple?" Shan Xionghai asked with interest.
"Forget it, let's go directly to Dajin!" Zhou Xun shook his head.

He was not very familiar with this Senior Jiang.

"Alright!"

Shan Xionghai nodded, and then took Zhou Xun through many twists and turns until they arrived at an inconspicuous stone house.

"Brother Shan, you are here!"

In front of the stone house, an old man with white hair and beard suddenly appeared.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Wu!" Shan Xionghai bowed and saluted.

"May I know who this is?" The old man looked at Zhou Xun.

"This is my good friend. With the permission of Uncle Jiang, he will return to Dajin with me!" Shan Xionghai replied.

"Zhou Xun greets this Taoist brother!" Zhou Xun bowed and saluted.

Judging from the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from this person, he is actually a cultivator at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

"It turns out to be Brother Zhou, nice to meet you." The old man responded to Zhou Xun's greeting with a smile, and his eyes became gentle.
"To be able to get the approval of Patriarch Jiang, you must be extraordinary."

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist!" Zhou Xun said modestly.

"Senior Brother Wu, the reason I came here this time is to borrow the magic circle to go to Dajin. I wonder if it is convenient?" Shan Xionghai said.

"Of course it's convenient. You came at the right time. The magic circle happened to be activated these few days. But it's rare for Brother Shan to come to my Taixu Temple, so why don't you stay for a while?" said the old man Wu.

"I came out this time because of Master's order. I need to return to report. I'll visit you next time!"

"Since this is Senior Yun Ku's business, Brother Shan should return in time and follow me!"

The three then entered the stone house, and found that the space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside.

There is a huge magic circle in the center of the house, which is engraved with complex runes and is flashing with mysterious light. It is an ultra-long-distance teleportation circle!

Zhou Xun and Shan Xionghai stepped into the center of the magic circle.

They each took out a teleportation talisman, activated it and stuck it on their bodies.

At this time, Old Man Wu began to activate the magic circle.

With a flash of white light, the two disappeared from the spot.

When Zhou Xun's feet touched solid ground again, he knew that he had arrived at the Great Jin Dynasty.

"It turns out that Taixu Temple also has a branch in Dajin!" Zhou Xun said with emotion.

"Yes, Dajin is a holy place for human cultivation. Previously, there were three major divine transformation forces here."

"Three?" Zhou Xun remembered Shan Xionghai saying that there were only two gods in charge of Dajin.

"There is another one, the Jianhu Palace. It's just that their ancestor Liu Bai has been missing for thousands of years, but their strength is still not bad!"

“If there was a Lei Xiao Sect six thousand years ago, it would have been the number one sect in the human world, with each generation producing Divine Transformation cultivators. Unfortunately, after experiencing the invasion of the ghost world, it gradually declined, and now even its inheritance has disappeared!”

Shan Xionghai explained.

Hearing the words "Lei Xiao Zong", Zhou Xun felt strange.
He naturally knew the reason why this sect disappeared.

"Where are the ruins of their sect?" I wonder where they are?

The entire Dajin is divided into nine states and one area, with a total of ten regions.

For example, the place they are in now is Qingzhou, where the Taixu Temple branch is located, and Shan Xionghai's Boluo Temple is in Yangzhou.

Of course this is the base camp.
As for the branch sects, they have penetrated into every county and established mountain gates specifically for recruiting disciples.

Only in this way can a sect that has reached the state of Divine Transformation be supported.

"The ruins of the Lei Xiao Sect are said to be in Youzhou, but now it is dilapidated, and even the spiritual veins have degenerated to an ordinary level."

"The former prosperity of Lei Xiao Sect has long disappeared!"

Shan Xionghai sighed.

"By the way, I need to return to the sect next. Would you like to come with me, brother?"

"Now that I'm in Dajin and I have the map you gave me, I can do whatever I want!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go back!" Shan Xionghai nodded, and then the two of them left Taixu Temple and went their separate ways.

The nearest fairy city to Taixu Temple is Wangjiang Fairy City.

This place is also the seat of Wangjiang Prefecture, and its lord is the middle-stage Nascent Soul Master Wenren Zhenjun.
The teleportation array in this city can directly connect to the state capital.
This is one of the transmission systems of Dajin.

Each prefecture's teleportation array is connected to the state capital, and each state capital is also connected to the imperial city.

Under this three-level system, one can quickly travel to various places in Dajin with just two teleportations at most, and this is also the basis for Dajin to rule the entire dynasty.

Now that he had come to the Great Jin, Zhou Xun naturally had to go to the most prosperous place for cultivating immortals, the Immortal City of Jinyang.

A month later, Zhou Xun arrived at Wangjiang Fairy City.
This city is not small in size, and is not much smaller than Luoyuan Fairy City and Zhenhai Fairy City in Zhongzhou.
You know, this is just the capital city.

There are more than 200 similar fairy cities in the entire Dajin.

Arriving at the provincial capital, Jiyang Immortal City, Zhou Xun did not even leave the city, but was directly teleported to the imperial city, Jinyang Immortal City.

This is also where the royal family of Dajin resides, gathering the essence of the entire Dajin.

Go down the teleportation array.

When he came to the entrance of the passage and was about to enter, he was stopped by a young man in a white robe.

"This senior is visiting Jinyang Immortal City for the first time. He needs to apply for an identity token to enter!"

"Yes, it's my first time here!"

"Please take the passage on the right!" the young man said, pointing to another entrance.
Zhou Xun nodded and walked in.

Soon, we arrived at a hall.
Then I saw that the hall was bustling with people coming and going. The dome of the hall was very high, and it was inlaid with countless spiritual beads that emitted soft light, making the whole hall as bright as day.

These spirit beads not only provide lighting, but also contain rich spiritual energy, which seeps down and makes the air in the hall fresh and lively.

The surrounding walls are made of a special kind of jade and are covered with exquisite murals depicting the legends of the Jin Dynasty.

There were more than twenty long queues in front, all of which were applying for identity tokens.

"Senior, are you here to apply for an identity token?" At this moment, a young man wearing a white magic weapon came forward, with the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Please come with me!"

Then he followed the young man to a room next door, where an old man with gray hair sat.
As soon as he saw Zhou Xun coming in, the old man stood up and bowed.
"Junior Yu Fengnian pays homage to senior!"

Zhou Xun nodded slightly in return: "No need to be polite, I'm here to apply for an identity token to enter Jinyang Fairy City."

The old man Yu Fengnian smiled and said, "Senior, please be patient. I need to register some information before applying for the identity token. Can you please inject your aura into this ring?"

As he said that, he took out a golden ring and handed it over!

Looking at the ring, Zhou Xun nodded.
It seems that the Jinyang Fairy City will keep pace with the times. This ring is indeed more useful than the rectangular token!

Zhou Xun took it, and then slowly injected the magic power into it.

"Is this okay?"

"Okay!" The old man nodded, and then said:
"By the way, I wonder if you have joined any faction. If not, my Great Jin royal family is eager to recruit talented people, and the conditions are very generous."

"No need!" Zhou Xun shook his head.
"It's the junior Meng Lang's fault," the old man apologized immediately after hearing this, and then personally sent Zhou Xun to the hall of the teleportation hall.

Zhou Xun did not stay any longer and walked straight out of the teleportation hall.

Outside was a large square, with a street about ten people wide running through it in the distance, and buildings standing next to it.
Very majestic,

The styles are different, some are like swords piercing the sky, while others are like blooming lotus flowers emitting soft light.

What is surprising is that there are many rays of light flying around in the sky, and there are monks flying with weapons in the sky.

The first immortal city of Dajin actually has no restrictions on flying!

But this also made it convenient for him. Just as the flying device was about to take off, a crisp voice came:

"Wait a moment, senior!"

At this time, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old emerged from the alley next to the street. He only had the second level of Qi training.

What's the matter? "Zhou Xun looked at him expressionlessly.

"Young man Lin Fei, I am here to meet you, Senior."

The young man ran up to Zhou Xun respectfully and bowed earnestly.

The young man's eyes kept rolling around, and it was obvious that he was a smart man.

"It's obvious that you've just arrived at Jinyang Fairy City. You must be unfamiliar with the roads and conditions of this city. However, I'm a native resident of this city and I know it like the back of my hand."

"If you want to go somewhere or do something, it will save you a lot of trouble if I can help you lead the way."

"And this junior only needs two spiritual stones!"

After saying that, the young man stood aside with a nervous look on his face, fearing that Zhou Xun would not agree to him.

"Okay, if you satisfy me, I'll give you ten spirit stones. If you're not satisfied, then you won't get even a single one!" Zhou Xun stared at him and smiled.

"Senior, don't worry. I have given guidance to several seniors, and they all said that I did a good job!"

Hearing this, the young man clapped his hands on his chest repeatedly, indicating that he could do a good job of leading the way.

Zhou Xun nodded, slapped his storage bag, took out a third-order flying boat and hovered it in front of him, then jumped in.

This was the spoils of war he got after killing some unlucky guy.
Then he waved to the young man standing aside and said:
"Come up!"

Seeing this, the young man ran over excitedly and climbed onto the flying boat.

"Senior, your flying boat is so beautiful. I have flown in two seniors' flying boats before, but none of them can compare to yours!"

As soon as the young man came up, he looked left and right excitedly, showing the frankness and liveliness of a young man.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun didn't blame him at all, he used his magic power at will, and the flying boat flew into the air with a roar, frightening the young man.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun joked:

"You've sat on it twice before, why is it still so unbearable?"

The young man turned blue and trembled a little as he said:

"Boy, I have never been able to ride so fast or fly so high before!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xun laughed and put a wind shield on the boy, and the boy's complexion improved.

"Show me where to stay in the city."

Then the young man pointed his hand towards the east,
"That's the Friar's Inn,"

Zhou Xun then controlled the instant light boat to fly in the direction indicated by the young man.

During the flight, Zhou Xun said casually:
"This is my first time in Jinyang Fairy City. Can you tell me what interesting things there are?"

"Yes!" The young man said yes, then cleared his throat and began to introduce:
"If we talk about the biggest event in Jinyang Immortal City recently, it must be the 'Soul Seizing Conference' that happens once every hundred years."

"Soul-stealing Conference? Tell me in detail," Zhou Xun ordered.

The young man nodded and narrated the Soul-Snatching Conference in detail.

"Under the jurisdiction of our Great Jin, there are a total of 237 prefectures in the Nine Provinces, except for the three auxiliary areas near the imperial city, as well as Jizhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yongzhou."

"The other governors were not directly appointed by the imperial dynasty,"

"Instead, every hundred years, a challenge and selection will be held in the Jinyang Immortal City. The final winner will automatically become the lord of the palace and enjoy the treatment of holding great power."

"So, every time a conference is about to be held, almost all the high-level monks in the entire Dajin will gather here,"

"It can be regarded as the most prestigious event in Jinyang Immortal City!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Xun and the others before continuing:
"In nine years, there will be a new Soul Seizing Conference. Senior, you can take a good look at it then."
