Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 768: Cooperation reached, the ability of the Blood Demon Ancestor!
Then, the Blood Demon Ancestor's spell changed and he struck the Blood Demon Crystal, and the Blood Demon Crystal began to slowly transform.
At the same time, with a wave of his hand, the Blood God Son that Bai Yu had refined landed in front of Zhou Xun.
"My dear Zhou, imprint your spiritual consciousness onto this unfinished Blood God Son. After nurturing it for a few years, it will be completed!"

Zhou Xun released his spiritual consciousness, clasped his hands together, and pointed at himself.
Then a strand of it separated and covered Bai Yu.

As soon as his spiritual consciousness touched the new Blood God Son, a strong repulsive force came over him. It was the Blood God Son's instinctive resistance.

"Don't be anxious, keep your mind steady, and use your spiritual power to guide instead of attacking with force." The Blood Demon Ancestor reminded.

"Why bother!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, clapped his hands on his waist, and with a flash of light, it turned into a foot-long small flag.

As he spoke, Zhou Xun made a gesture with both hands and pointed at the banner.
"Stop sleeping, get up and work!"

"Hoohoo!"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of excited shouting came from within the banner.

Then a beam of green light flew out, landed on the ground, and transformed into a monkey about ten feet in size.

It's the soul-eating beast Qing Yuan!
At this time, the green ape's fur was extremely shiny, emitting a faint golden light. Compared with before, it had improved a lot.

As soon as the green ape appeared, he showed an extremely excited expression.

It had been a long time since Zhou Xun let him out last time, and he was getting a little impatient staying inside the banner.

"This is the Soul-Eating Beast." The Blood Demon Ancestor standing aside was full of disbelief, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

His eyes were fixed on the green ape, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

He really didn't expect that such a legendary fairy beast would appear next to a little Nascent Soul cultivator.

"You...how did you get this divine beast?" The Blood Demon Patriarch spoke with difficulty, his eyes never leaving the green ape.

What shocked him the most was not the rarity of the Soul-Eating Beast, but the fact that it was of the same species as the Soul-Eating Immortal Beast.

You must know that the biggest reason why he was trapped here was that it was difficult to break through the boundary of the space inside the Soul-Eating Beast's body.

Even if the ancestor of their Blood God Cult was here, it would still be the same.
But today.
He saw another soul-eating beast.

A young soul-eating beast in the body of a soul-eating fairy beast.

No matter what he said, he didn't believe that the one in front of him had nothing to do with the immortal beast that devoured souls back then, and this also meant that

Hope of leaving!
Thinking of this, the Blood Demon Ancestor couldn't help but take a deep breath and made a decision in his heart.

"My dear Zhou, I want to talk to you!"

Zhou Xun looked at the Blood Demon Ancestor's reaction and smiled in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.

"We will talk about this later. Let's deal with this Blood God Son first."

He said lightly, then turned to look at Qing Yuan, "Xiao Qing, absorb his residual soul!"

The green ape roared excitedly and punched its nose a few times. A gray light flew out and covered Bai Yu's body.

Then, a figure was extracted and pulled towards his nose, becoming smaller and smaller until it was finally sucked into his stomach.

The green ape patted its belly, then turned into green light again, flew back into the small flag, and was put away by Zhou Xun.

At this time, he finally turned his gaze to the Blood Demon Ancestor standing beside him.

"I wonder what you want to talk about, Senior?"

"I want to make a deal with you, Mr. Zhou!" The Blood Demon Patriarch considered his words for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"I am willing to fully support Mr. Zhou in his cultivation. Whether it is a breakthrough in magical powers or a strange Taoist technique, I can tell you everything without reservation!"

"Until my friend breaks through to the level of Divine Transformation!"

"If so, I wonder what conditions the senior has, please let me know!" Zhou Xun said. As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world, whether it is in the mortal world or in the world of immortals.

“I just want Young Master Zhou to take me with him when he leaves for the human world in the future!” The Blood Demon Patriarch’s eyes were scorching, and there was even a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Originally, he had given up hope of leaving the human world. This time, he occupied the corpse of the Blood Demon Emperor only because he had stayed in the secret realm for too long.
Now that he suddenly found hope, he naturally didn't want to let it go. As long as he could get out and return to the fairyland, he would still be the genius disciple of the Blood God Cult.

Hearing this condition, Zhou Xun smiled slightly and nodded solemnly:
"Since you are so frank, I am naturally willing to reach an agreement with you. This is a win-win situation. How can I refuse it?"

Zhou Xun had thought this matter over carefully, and even summoned the Green Ape with this intention in mind.

For the Blood Demon Ancestor, there is only one thing that can move his heart, and that is to leave this place.

And he wanted to leave, but he could only rely on himself.

On the other hand, he was extremely eager for the method of breaking through the spirit transformation and the information from the outside world, so it was natural for the two sides to cooperate.

After all, they had no hatred before.
In this way, they can cooperate safely until Zhou Xun becomes a god, or even ascends to heaven, and leave the human world together.

The Blood Demon Ancestor was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said:

"That's great. Judging from your bone age, you are only about 300 years old, but you have been able to cultivate to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. It seems that you have decent aptitude."

"With my help, the chances of you becoming a god in the future are very high!"

"Then please leave it to senior!"

Then the relationship between the two of them became obviously closer.

Three days later, in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, in the cave on the island in the middle of the lake.

Two figures, one in blue and one in red, appeared on the teleportation array. They were Zhou Xun and Blood Demon Ancestor. On that day, the two of them successfully negotiated and agreed on the details.

Today, they came back to nourish Bai Yu's corpse and to cultivate the Blood God Son.

Soon, Zhou Xun brought the Blood Demon Ancestor to the place where he used to nourish the Yin energy of the Blood God Son.

Half an hour later, in the Yin Qi area two thousand miles away from the island in the middle of the lake,
Two figures fell from the sky.
The Blood Demon Patriarch looked around the valley and nodded slightly:
"This is the Extreme Yin Blood Demon Formation. It is well-made. The Yin veins in this Yin-filled land are also quite good!"

When Zhou Xun heard the praise from the Blood Demon Ancestor, he was secretly proud in his heart, but he smiled modestly on his face:
"Thank you for your praise, Senior. However, I spent a lot of effort to arrange the formation in order to nurture the Blood Demon General. Compared with the great formations in the immortal world that you have seen, it is probably not worth mentioning."

"My friend, there is no need to underestimate yourself. It is already very rare to have such means in this human world."

The Blood Demon Ancestor waved his hand, his eyes patrolled the valley, carefully observing every detail of the formation.

"However, if we want this new Blood Godson to mature as quickly as possible, we still need to make some improvements to this formation."

As he spoke, the Blood Demon Ancestor quickly formed seals with his hands, and blood-red runes flew out from his fingertips and merged into the extremely Yin Blood Demon formation. The runes flickered, and the already strong Yin energy instantly became more violent, and a biting chill filled the air.

Zhou Xun watched the Blood Demon Ancestor's movements intently, not missing any details.

He could feel that with the improvements made by the Blood Demon Ancestor, the power of the formation was constantly increasing, and its nourishment effect on the Blood God Son would be twice as effective with half the effort.

"Senior, what is so mysterious about this improved formation?"

Zhou Xun humbly seeks advice,

While the Blood Demon Ancestor was busy, he explained:
"I added some runes from the fairy world to the formation. These runes can better guide the Yin energy and make it merge with the Blood Demon power of the Blood God Son."

"At the same time, it can also enhance the stability of the formation and avoid accidents during the nurturing process."

Zhou Xun heard this and nodded.
"I have nurtured a Blood God in this yin land. Senior, please take a look!" He pointed to a certain position in the magic circle.
There I saw a blood-red head sticking out of the ground, and the body was buried underground.

The Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes were as fast as lightning, instantly locking onto the Blood God Son. He narrowed his eyes slightly, paced slowly around the Blood God Son, and examined him carefully.

"This Blood God Son..." The Blood Demon Patriarch pondered for a moment.

"Although it is not yet fully developed, it has reached a certain level. Your previous method of nurturing was also quite appropriate. However, there are still some areas that can be improved."

He formed seals with his hands again, and several runes floated out and merged into the yin energy surrounding the Blood God.

In an instant, the Yin Energy that was originally flowing slowly around the Blood God Son became turbulent and formed a small Yin Energy vortex.

The Blood God's head trembled slightly, as if he was actively absorbing the Yin energy that was strengthened by the runes.

Its eyes were originally wide open, but now they were glowing with a faint blood-red light, and its aura became increasingly condensed.

"Senior's method really opens my eyes." Zhou Xun admired sincerely, his eyes full of curiosity.

The Blood Demon Ancestor smiled and explained:
"My rune can stimulate the Blood God's instincts, allowing it to absorb Yin energy more efficiently and accelerate its growth without damaging its original potential."

"After the ritual is successful, you can form the Big Dipper together with your five Blood God Sons."

Zhou Xun nodded after hearing this, and then took out the semi-finished Blood God Son made from Bai Yu's corpse, buried it in the ground, and marked it with the runes taught by the Blood Demon Ancestor.
I saw lines of Yin energy rolling and continuously pouring into the body of this new blood demon.

Then, the Blood Demon Ancestor flipped his hand, took out the Blood Demon Crystal that the middle-aged man surnamed Wu had used to refine, and struck down.
"Next, we just need to wait for seven years, and it will be able to grow to maturity!"

By then, Zhou Xun will be able to gather seven Blood God Sons and perform the Beidou joint attack method, plus the seven sets of spiritual armor Zhou Xun obtained.

It will definitely become a big trump card in your hand!
Jiangling Prefecture ranks 22nd in the entire Jingzhou.
There are fourteen Yuanying-level sects and more than three hundred Jindan-level sects under its jurisdiction. All these sects are under the jurisdiction of the Lord of Jiangling Prefecture.

at this time,

The news of Master Bai Gu's death gradually spread, and this was also because Zhou Xun secretly fanned the flames.

The people of the sects that were originally dependent on him were in panic, and the top leaders of the fourteen Nascent Soul sects gathered together and held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Now that Master Baigu is dead, if we continue to have anything to do with Baigushan, I'm afraid Zhou Xun will bear a grudge against us and he will settle accounts with us sooner or later!"

A white-haired old man frowned and said worriedly that he was the leader of Qingfeng Sect in Jiangling Prefecture. He was in the early stage of Nascent Soul and had some prestige in the world of immortal cultivation in Jiangling Prefecture.

"But if we leave White Bone Mountain now, how could the White Bone Mountain people let us go? Their forces are spread across many prefectures. How can we resist them?"

The other middle-aged man had an anxious look on his face. He was the head of Feiyun Pavilion and had always been timid and fearful of things. At this moment, he was frightened by this sudden change.

"White Bone Mountain is very powerful. Before the appearance of Master Bai Gu, they were only the leader of one prefecture. Now that they have lost Master Bai Gu, they are probably already overwhelmed by themselves, so how can they have the energy to deal with us!"

"Besides, without the White Bone Mountain of Master Bai Gu, we, a dozen sects united together, may not be afraid of him!"

A slightly plump middle-aged man spoke up. He was the leader of Liuyun Sect.

"Brother Zhao is right. Moreover, according to the news sent by my clansmen working in the Imperial City, Lord Jiangling has made great contributions in the Western Desert. He was noticed by the Emperor Jin and was personally received and rewarded!"

Another middle-aged man spoke up.

"What? Lord Zhou returned from the front line of the Western Desert!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Originally, they had planned to meet Zhou Xun together to discuss certain conditions.
Among them, there is no lack of intention to force the emperor to abdicate.

But now that he had heard that he had returned from the Western Desert and had been summoned by the Emperor of Jin, how could he not know that Zhou Xun must have become very popular?

You have to know that you have gathered the elites of the entire human world, spanning both the human and demon races,

This shows Zhou Xun's extraordinaryness.
"What does Sect Master Feng mean?"

Everyone was arguing, but no one could come up with a practical solution.

At this moment, a young disciple rushed in and said, "Dear seniors, something bad has happened! Lord Zhou has sent an envoy to announce that he is summoning the leaders of all the sects in Jiangling Prefecture!"

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

"Is he going to take action?" The leader of Qingfeng Sect muttered to himself, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

The head of Feiyun Pavilion was so frightened that his legs went weak. "What should we do? If we go, won't we be like sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?"

"No, as far as I know, Lord Zhou is not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. On the contrary, he has principles. As long as we sincerely submit, he will naturally have no ill will towards us!"

After careful consideration, everyone finally decided to bite the bullet and go meet Zhou Xun.

They knew very well that now that Zhou Xun's strength had greatly increased and Master Bai Gu had died for no reason, there was no one in Jiangling Prefecture who could compete with him.

If his orders were disobeyed, the entire sect would probably face a catastrophic disaster.

A few days later, the leaders of all the sects gathered at the main office of the government. Zhou Xun sat on the main seat, and below him were the leaders of all the sects.
There are fourteen Nascent Soul cultivators, and the rest are Jindan cultivators, totaling more than three hundred people.

"We are here to see Lord Zhou!"

In the hall, everyone saluted in unison.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded.
His eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned everyone in the field. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and everyone avoided him, not daring to look directly at him!

"I guess you all know about the White Bones Master, right?"

Everyone nodded, not daring to breathe.

"I have called you all here today to discuss the matter of paying tribute!"
