Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 721 Return to Xuding for military exploits and great harvest!

The ghosts formed a formation, and the ghost energy surged.

Black chains instantly condensed and wrapped around Zhou Xun and the others.

The chains exude a sinister aura that would make anyone fall into it at a glance!

"Quick reaction!"

Zhou Xun quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The seventy-two thunder seeds suddenly glowed brightly. Thick lightning burst out from the thunder seeds and collided with the black chains of the ghost clan.

The sound of "crackling" was endless, thunder and lightning and ghost energy intertwined and offset each other, but in just a moment, the ghost fog chain disappeared!
"What kind of magical power is this!"

The remaining three ghost kings were overwhelmed with grief when they saw this.

Lei Xiu originally had a restraining effect on them, and this person was so powerful, it seemed that the idea of ​​defeating him would be impossible to achieve.
"Gentlemen, let's defend with all our strength. The nearest reinforcements will arrive in just a quarter of an hour, and by then they will be dead!"

The fourth-order intermediate-grade ghost king who was in the lead shouted loudly.

"Hoohoo!"

The ghosts responded one after another, and then the black fog rolled up and formed a giant black curtain, wrapping them all in it.

There are strange runes on the surface of the black curtain, which obviously has extremely high defense!

"When did the ghost tribe get such a turtle shell? It's really troublesome!" Wang Erniu hit it with a sword, but there was not even a ripple, so he started cursing.

"Wait until I break their tortoise shells, and then proceed as planned!" Zhou Xun said calmly.
Then he made a hand gesture, shouted softly, and pointed at the huge black ball in front of him:

"Nine Heavens of Thunder"

I saw dark clouds covering the sky, lightning flashing, and a mighty power from heaven coming over.
Lock the huge black ball below tightly!

It was his magical power of simulating the transformation of thunder tribulation.
The seventy-two thunder seeds suddenly burst out with strong light, and thick lightning appeared out of thin air.

Sensing the powerful force contained in the lightning in the void, the ghost kings in the tortoise formation couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear.
"Ang Vaishya, this seems to be thunder from the sky!"

"How can a mere human cultivator control the heavenly thunder!" This is the representation of the mighty yang force between heaven and earth, and it is one of the things that the ghost clan fears the most!

The middle-grade ghost king also had a face full of fear, his legs trembling, and he almost wanted to escape!

But how could Zhou Xun give them a chance!
Looking at the huge black mass below, Zhou Xun pointed lightly.
"fall!"

In an instant, the thunder gathered in the sky poured down and hit the huge black turtle formation hard.

The purple thunder contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. Wherever it passed, the space was almost distorted, and a terrifying roar was emitted.

The black turtle formation trembled violently under the bombardment of thunder, and the runes on the surface flashed with strange light, resisting desperately.

Before the thunder strikes him, there are already tiny arcs of lightning surrounding the black curtain, constantly consuming it!
Ripples appeared on the tortoise shell formed by the ghost energy, and the ghosts in the formation let out miserable howls, as if they were enduring great pain.

"boom!"

The first thunderbolt struck heavily on the black curtain.
A blinding light suddenly burst out from the black curtain, and the place where it collided with the lightning exploded instantly.

As the light flashed, countless ghost auras and electrical forces annihilated each other, turning into wisps of energy turbulence that drifted away.

But it still didn't break through.

"This black curtain is indeed tenacious, but I want to see how long it can last!" Zhou Xun chuckled, but he did not expect that the first lightning strike would be able to break the tortoise shell!
As for the ghosts inside, they were all trembling with fear at the mighty power of heaven.
"Can we...can we really wait for reinforcements?"

"Yes, otherwise we will all die here!" The leading middle-grade ghost king roared, then spit out the ghost bead and hit the black curtain above.
The rest of the ghosts followed suit, spitting out ghost beads and blessing the black curtain, hoping to hold on a little longer!

Zhou Xun, who was outside, saw the black curtain below return to its original state in an instant, and couldn't help but frown.
"Let's see how long you can hold on!"

The hand gestures changed, he muttered something, and pointed at the black ball again!
The second and third followed one after another, and each bombardment made the black curtain tremble more violently, and the light of the rune became dimmer.

The ghosts in the formation were terrified and wanted to flee in all directions, but they found themselves trapped by the black curtain with no way to escape. The black curtain that originally protected them became their prison instead!
"Brother, although this shady guy is strong, he can't hold out under your thunder!" Wang Erniu said with a frown on his face, with the long sword in his hand hanging in the air, sword energy running rampant, ready to strike at any time!

As for Tianci Zhenjun, he controlled nine golden flames, which flew around his body. It was one of the three great spiritual flames in the world of cultivation - the Golden Flame.
Although it is only in its newborn state, its power should not be underestimated!
Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia revealed their original forms one after another.

It transformed into a several-meter-long blue-gold dragon and a two-meter-tall black-armored armadillo, staring closely at the bottom, waiting for the black curtain to break, and then rushing in.
Kill the fourth-level ghost king assigned to him!

With the continuous attack of thunder, some tiny cracks gradually appeared on the black screen!

"If you try harder, I can break your turtle shell!" Zhou Xun shouted, and the seventh thunder fell down!

"Crack!" A crisp sound was heard, and the black curtain finally couldn't bear it, and a huge crack appeared.

Through this hole, the terrified faces of the ghosts were clearly visible.

"Now!" Tianci Zhenjun seized the opportunity and controlled the nine golden flames to rush towards the opening.

The Jinmei True Flame instantly transformed into nine golden fire dragons, pouncing towards the middle-grade ghost king in the middle with bared fangs and claws!
Wherever the fire dragon passed, the ghost energy was burned away, the ghosts let out miserable cries, and their bodies quickly dissipated in the flames.

The middle-grade ghost king wanted to leave, but faced with the Golden Flame, one of the three great spiritual flames in the world of cultivation, which even great cultivators tried to avoid,

How could the Ghost King, who had consumed too much energy, resist?

In just a dozen breaths, he was trapped by nine golden dragons and his body was burned to death!

As for Wang Erniu,
As soon as the dark curtain was about to break, he used the "Sword Shadow Transformation" technique.
After absorbing the energy of the seven hundred and twenty swords, the golden flying sword became extremely bright and trembled slightly. The black curtain was broken.
It turned into a golden afterimage, like a golden dragon sweeping away, engulfing the fourth-level ghost king on the left, and then took a fist-sized ghost bead with it.

Slowly fell in front of Wang Erniu!
As for Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia, they turned into green and yellow afterimages. Xiao Jia used his innate magical power "Thousand Layers of Mysterious Light"

A yellowish-brown light shot out and instantly enveloped the ghost king on the right.

Suddenly, he felt his chest sink. Then, Xiao Jin followed, with a golden glow on his body. A golden dragon claw pierced through his chest and abdomen.

Returning with a fourth-level ghost bead,
Fourth-level ghost king, dead!

As for Zhou Xun, after breaking the black curtain, his spell immediately changed, and the dark clouds in the sky scattered, covering an area of ​​several thousand feet.

Then,

Lightning bolts as thick as thumbs fell from the sky, there were thousands of them.

Each one of them identified a ghost, like a swimming dragon, extremely flexible,
With a crackling sound, it accurately chopped towards the ghosts.

All that could be heard were the roars of countless lightning bolts and the screams of the ghosts.

The ghosts were completely powerless to fight back under the lightning attack. Their bodies were instantly annihilated, their ghost energy dissipated, and they perished instantly.

Only a thousand or so ghost beads were left floating quietly!
These actions were completed almost at the same time as Tianci Zhenjun and the others.
Then, Zhou Xun waved his hand and put all the ghost beads into the storage bag. "We have wasted a lot of time, let's leave quickly!"

Then he boarded Tianci Zhenjun's shuttle and turned into a white spiritual light and sped away.

Just half a quarter of an hour after they left,
Suddenly, a ghost king appeared at the spot. He was three meters tall, with two horns on his head, a wide forehead, swollen eyes, and an extremely ugly face.

Judging from its aura, it is a fourth-rank upper-grade ghost king.
With an unpleasant look on his face, he looked at the remaining ghost remnants and the flashes of lightning around him.

"Dave!"

At this moment, one after another black shadows appeared beside the ghost king.
"How is this possible!"

"Ang Vaishya is leading a thousand elite troops and three ghost kings. Even if a great human monk takes action, they should not be defeated so quickly!" said a one-horned ghost king nearby.

"It's Lei Xiu!"

"A thunder cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!" King Tuowei said slowly with a solemn expression.

"Where did so many great monks of thunder come from? We designed a plan to kill one decades ago, how come he appears again now!" said the One-Horned Ghost King.

"Kill, must kill!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Your Majesty's order, all Lei Xiu must be killed at all costs!"

"We will never allow the human race to have another thunder cultivator at the God Transformation Stage!"

Three days later, Zhou Xun and his companions landed in a valley.

After setting up the "Five Heavens Divine Thunder Formation", several people gathered around, their faces filled with joy.
"Brother, this time we have made quite a harvest!" Wang Erniu flipped his hand and took out a fourth-grade inferior ghost bead. This one alone represented a full fifty points of military merit!
"Brother, you keep it first!" Then he handed the ghost bead over.

Zhou Xun did not refuse, and put all the ghost beads in the hands of Tianci Zhenjun and Wang Erniu together.
"These four ghost beads are worth 300 points of war merit. The remaining third-level ghost beads and second-level ghost beads are worth 50 to 60 points in total."

"Including the ones we killed at the beginning,"

"Now, the accumulated military merits of the three of us have exceeded four hundred points!" Zhou Xun said.

You know, even the Deliverance Pill that helps a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage advance to the middle stage only gives 150 points of combat merit.

The value of these in their hands is close to three Du'e Pills.

You have to know that this is only their income for three months.

"Sure enough, although this Western Desert Front is dangerous, it is also a place of rare opportunities!"

Two days later, after they had rested, their energy and spirits were restored to their peak, so they continued their journey!

However, this time, they fought such a fierce battle that they had to leave the area in a short time, so the three of them changed direction and moved forward in a low-key manner.

Previously, Lord Yama had warned them,
If you have made great achievements and killed too many ghost kings, you need to change the hunting area.

Because the ghost tribe will also form an anti-hunting team to target them.

Therefore, Zhou Xun and the others decided that, for the next period of time, unless they met a lone or two fourth-order ghost kings, they would leave first!

A month later, Zhou Xun arrived at another area of ​​Ghost Mist.
He stood on the bow again, using his spiritual blue pupil to search for the whereabouts of the ghosts.

After three months,

In a canyon,

Rays of spiritual light flew up, and there was a faint sound of thunder, but soon it returned to calm.
"Brother, your lightning spear is really useful. It can actually cross a distance of thousands of feet and kill with one strike!"

This time, the three of them obtained two fourth-level ghost beads!

Five months later, above a large lake, a fourth-rank ghost king led a large army and flew slowly over.
Suddenly, a three-foot-long lightning spear appeared several feet in front of him, and then, in his astonished expression, it pierced through his head.

Then, lightning bolts flew out, turning the remaining ghosts into dust.
Then, a lightning hand several dozen feet in size rushed out, and with a light scoop, it grabbed hundreds of suspended ghost beads in its hand.
Eventually it sank into the storage bag of a figure at the bottom of the lake.

The edge of the ghost fog land,

A ray of white light slowly emerged from the depths of the ghost fog.

It was a pure white flying boat with three figures standing on it.

"Brother, it's been almost a year and we are finally out again. The air outside is still more comfortable!" Wang Erniu couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I can finally come back!" Zhou Xun nodded.
"We have gained a lot from this attack. It's a good opportunity to see what treasures are in the currency that can be exchanged for military merits!" Now that they have left the ghost fog and are about to record their military merits, Tianci Zhenjun is in a very good mood.

"Hahahaha, the total amount of military merit exceeds six hundred!"

Soon, they returned to the base camp.

After returning, the three did not go directly to the Merit Assessment Office in the camp to review their military achievements.
They had already discussed it before and had adopted the 4:3:3 distribution principle to distribute the merit points.

Zhou Xun is a thunder cultivator who contributed the most to fighting the ghost clan, so he took 40%. As for Tianci Zhenjun and Wang Erniu, they divided the remaining 60% equally.

The Xugongsi is a huge building covering thousands of feet, with hundreds of openings.

Of course, most of them are for receiving Jindan foundation-building cultivators.

There is only one passage for them, the Nascent Soul cultivators.

There was a Jindan early stage cultivator guarding the entrance of the passage, and without any obstruction, Zhou Xun and the other two walked in.

Following the passage, I finally arrived at a counter. In front of me, I saw a Nascent Soul cultivator recounting his military exploits.
This person was wearing green armor, which was shining with spiritual light. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary item.
"What did Brother Xiang gain this time?" There were two old men standing behind the counter. A quick glance with his spiritual sense revealed that they were all in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

"Bad luck. I've been out for half a year and I just ran into a fourth-level kid!"

The man shook his head.

Then he waved his hand, and hundreds of ghost beads appeared on the counter.

"One fourth-level low-grade ghost bead, fifty combat merits!"

"Two third-grade high-quality ghost beads, ten points of combat merit, four middle-quality ghost beads, eight points of combat merit, seven low-quality ghost beads, seven points of combat merit,"

"Fifty-one second-grade high-quality ghost beads, 255 points of combat merit, one hundred and twenty-three middle-quality ghost beads, 246 points of combat merit, four hundred and seventy-three low-quality ghost beads, points of combat merit."

"That's eighty-four and seventy-four!"
