Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 810: The power of a semi-spiritual treasure, if you can’t provoke me, then I can afford to hide from you!
"Not good! Quickly reinforce the formation!"

When the Lord of Qingyang Palace sensed the tremendous power of the bone claws, his face changed drastically and he shouted hurriedly.

While speaking, he reached to his waist, took out the second elder's jade communication talisman, and crushed it without hesitation.

At the same moment,

Deep in the cave, the jade communication talisman in the second elder’s hand suddenly lit up, and then turned into powder.

His face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Oh no, something happened in Qingyang!"

The Third Elder and the others were all shocked when they heard this. "It seems that the murderer has reached the exit. We must get out quickly!"

"Listen to my command, everyone turn around and return to the entrance!"

The Second Elder gave an order, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the spiritual power in his body surged, actually dispelling some of the poisonous fog around him.

No one dared to delay and they all used their skills to rush towards the exit of the cave.

After the Lord of Qingyang Palace informed the Second Elder and others, he waved his hand.
He took out a golden talisman from the storage bag on his waist, on which was a small golden shield.
It was an ancient symbol that he had purchased at great cost.
After being activated, it turns into a giant golden shield. Even a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage cannot break through it in a short period of time.

It was originally the trump card used by the Lord of Qingyang Mansion to save his life.

Slowly injecting magic power, the talisman turned into a residual shadow and flew in front of the formation, and then a golden light shone.

It transformed into a golden shield over a hundred feet in size, with spiritual patterns flashing. One could tell at a glance that it had extraordinary defensive power!

At the moment when the golden shield was formed, the giant bone claws had already come close.
It hit the golden shield hard.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar rang out again. Although the golden shield was strong, it shook violently under this powerful impact.

The spiritual patterns on the surface of the shield suddenly burst into dazzling light, as if making its final struggle.

The negative energy on the bone claws surged, fighting madly against the golden light. For a moment, the whole world seemed to be dominated by these two kinds of light.

But the next moment,
"Crack!" A heart-pounding sound was heard, and cracks appeared on the surface of the golden shield, spreading rapidly like a spider web.

“How is this possible!” The Lord of Qingyang Palace widened his eyes in horror, and the magic power in his hands surged wildly, trying to keep the golden shield stable.

He knew very well that once the shield was broken, the formation would collapse, and they would be powerless to stop Zhou Xun and others.

"Hold on!" The Lord of Qingyang Palace shouted at the top of his lungs, pouring his mana into the enemy continuously, trying to resist.
However, the bone claw was a joint attack by five fourth-level high-quality bone zombies.
Its power has surpassed the level of the ten great cultivators of Dajin.
In fact, this golden shield can resist

at this time,

"Wow—"

The golden shield shattered and turned into streaks of golden light that dissipated in the sky.
After breaking through the golden shield, the giant bone claw continued to strike towards the golden light shield below with its remaining power.

Seeing this scene, the Lord of Qingyang Palace was horrified and shouted:
"Don't be stingy with your magic power. Use all your strength to maintain the magic circle. Once the magic circle is broken, I'm afraid there will be no way for you and me to survive."

As soon as this word comes out,
The other dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators urged their magic power, or sacrificed their magic weapons, or activated talismans, and attacked the bone claws one after another.

Hopefully, we can weaken its attack and reduce the pressure on the golden light shield!
However, the combined power of the five demons was too terrifying. Even with the support of the golden light shield and numerous magic weapons and talismans, the bone claws were still unstoppable and rushed straight towards the light shield.

Those attacks were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and they were impossible to stop.

Then,

"boom--!"

The bone claws slammed heavily on the golden light shield, causing a deafening roar.

The light shield trembled violently, and the nine shadows of the scorching sun seemed dim under this blow, as if they could collapse at any time.

"Click——"

A crack appeared on the light shield again, and the crack spread rapidly, and tiny cracks began to appear on the golden light shield.

"It can't be stopped!" a monk shouted in horror.

The Lord of Qingyang Palace gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on! The Second Elder and his men will be here soon!"

However, before he finished speaking, the Five Heart Demons launched another attack.
The five skeletons raised their arms at the same time, and the Yin Qi condensed into a huge bone spear, stabbing fiercely at the light shield.

"boom!"

The bone spear penetrated the light shield, and the golden light shield completely collapsed under this blow, turning into golden light points and dissipating in the air.

"Retreat quickly!" the Lord of Qingyang Palace shouted, but it was too late.

The Five Demons rushed into the crowd like a ghost, and the Yin energy swept through, instantly enveloping a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The monk didn't even have time to scream before he was corroded by the negative energy and turned into a dried corpse.

“Damn it!” The Lord of Qingyang Palace’s eyes were bloodshot, and he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and a golden sword light went straight towards the Five Sons of the Concentric Demon.

However, before the sword light got close, it was blocked by a barrier of Yin energy and dissipated into nothingness.

"Gugua——"

At this moment, the purple-scaled poisonous toad on Zhou Xun's shoulder suddenly made a low humming sound, and a stream of purple poisonous mist spewed out of its mouth, heading straight for the Lord of Qingyang Mansion.

The face of the Lord of Qingyang Palace changed drastically, and he hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power to resist.

However, the poisonous fog was so corrosive that even his spiritual shield could not completely resist it. The poisonous fog penetrated and instantly corroded his arm.

"Ah!" The Lord of Qingyang Palace let out a scream, and his arm was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Zhou Xun saw this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and lightning flashed in his hand, heading straight for the chest of the Lord of Qingyang Mansion.

"boom!"

The lightning penetrated the chest of the Lord of Qingyang Mansion. His body stiffened instantly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"You you." The Lord of Qingyang Mansion opened his mouth, but could not utter any more words. Then, a faint light flashed, and a three-inch Yuanying flew out from his head.

Holding a green ruler in his arms,
Just as he was about to teleport away,

A flash of red light passed by, and it was the Blood Demon Ancestor who made a move and grabbed his Nascent Soul.

"Palace Master!" The Nascent Soul cultivators around him cried out in surprise upon seeing this.
"Run!"

One by one, the Nascent Soul cultivators were like frightened birds, running in all directions with such speed that it was astonishing!
Zhou Xun looked at the Yuanyings running away, but did not chase after them.

These were just ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators with mediocre strength, and could not pose any threat to him.
Besides, the exit passage has been opened now, and it is useless to continue killing them, so they are given a chance to live.

Then Zhou Xun came to the Nascent Soul of the Qingyang Palace Master and spoke coldly:
"I ask, you answer!"

"Humph, you can kill me or rob me, it's all up to you. I have never surrendered to anyone in my life!" The Lord of Qingyang Palace said coldly.

"Really?" Zhou Xun smiled coldly, then slapped his hand on his waist.
A small banner that continued to grow longer and turned into a ghost appeared in his hand. It was the ghost banner.
Then hit the ground!
A beam of green light flew out and transformed into a green ape about ten feet in size, with a hint of golden light on its fur.
Compared with the last time, it is much thicker and its strength has obviously improved.

As soon as the green ape appeared, it seemed extremely excited.

It looked eagerly at the True Lord Qingyang in front of it.
You have to know that this is a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. His soul is a great tonic for it!

When True Lord Qingyang saw the green ape, his face changed drastically in an instant, and he showed a trace of panic, as if a mouse saw a cat!
"This is a soul-eating beast. How could you have this thing?"

"Don't worry about this matter, Xiaoqing!" Zhou Xun shouted.
Then the green ape excitedly hit his nose a few times. Then a ray of green light flew out and enveloped the Nascent Soul of the Qingyang Palace Master.
Then, a shadow emerged from the Nascent Soul and quickly moved towards the nose of the Green Ape.
"stop!"

Zhou Xun stopped Qing Yuan's action and ordered him to send his soul back to his Nascent Soul.
Soon, the Nascent Soul of the Lord of Qingyang Mansion regained consciousness, but the arrogance on his face was gone, replaced by deep fear and despair.

"What exactly do you want?" The Nascent Soul of the Qingyang Palace Lord asked tremblingly, with fear that was hard to conceal in his voice.

Zhou Xun smiled coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife:
"I said, I ask, you answer. If you say any more nonsense, I don't mind letting Xiaoqing continue."

The Nascent Soul of the Qingyang Palace Lord had a pale face, and it was obvious that he was still frightened by the pain of having his soul devoured by the soul-eating beast just now.

He gritted his teeth and finally lowered his head: "I can answer, but you must swear to let me live!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun turned his gaze towards the Green Ape:
"Xiaoqing."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the horrified Lord Qingyang:

"I said, I said it's not okay!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xun smiled playfully and spoke slowly:
"It would have been better if you had done this earlier. Why did you come here? Why are you guarding the exit?"

"I was ordered by the Fifth Elder to set up a checkpoint here and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving!" replied the Lord of Qingyang Palace.

"Very good!" Zhou Xun was very satisfied with his attitude and continued to ask:
"How many people did Luoyang Xianzong send to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave this time? Besides you, who else is nearby?"

The Nascent Soul of the Qingyang Palace Master was silent for a moment, and finally spoke:

"In addition to us, the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Sixth Elder are also here, and they brought with them twenty-four Dharma Protectors."

Zhou Xun frowned slightly, secretly alert in his heart. The Luoyang Immortal Sect had indeed sent out a powerful force. It seemed that his killing of the fifth elder Yan Wuxu had a great impact.

"Where are the Second Elder and the others now?" Zhou Xun continued to ask.

The Nascent Soul of the Qingyang Palace Master shook his head:
"I don't know their exact location, but they should have already gone deep into the cave. If you want to escape, you'd better leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they catch up with you, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhou Xun sneered: "Escape? Why should we escape? As for you, since you dare to hunt me down, you must be prepared to pay the price."

The face of the Nascent Soul of the Qingyang Palace Master changed. He obviously didn't expect Zhou Xun to be so arrogant. He opened his mouth and sneered:
"Really? I notified them as soon as you showed up. I think the Second Elder and his men are almost here by now!"

"If you are so confident, then wait here!"

Zhou Xun looked at the Nascent Soul of the Lord of Qingyang Palace and said coldly: "Don't bother with this matter. You are no longer useful, so just go on your way."

The face of the Nascent Soul of the Qingyang Palace Master changed drastically, and he shouted in horror: "No! You can't kill me! I can tell you more secrets about the Luoyang Immortal Sect!"

Zhou Xun sneered: "No need, your secret is worthless to me."

Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the green ape once again spewed out a green light, enveloping the Nascent Soul of the Lord of Qingyang Palace.

"what--!"

The Nascent Soul of the Lord of Qingyang Mansion let out a shrill scream, and was then completely devoured by the green ape. Zhou Xun then took off the storage bag and the green ruler magic weapon from his waist and prepared to leave.

suddenly,

There was a wave of mana coming from the entrance.
Then I saw more than twenty figures running out.

The leader was wearing a red robe, with gray hair, a look of majesty without anger, and an extremely imposing aura. He was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Beside him, there were three old men, each with an extremely frightening aura.
These people are the second elder and others who came from the inner cave.
Behind them, there were twenty-four cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul stage. They were obviously the Dharma Protectors mentioned by the Lord of Qingyang Palace.

As soon as this group of people appeared, the atmosphere at the exit of the entire cave suddenly became depressing.

"It's you!"

The red-robed old man in the lead had a look like lightning, staring straight at Zhou Xun, and said in a voice as cold as ice, "It was you who killed the fifth elder!"

Zhou Xun frowned, secretly alert.

The red-robed old man in front of him was none other than the second elder of the Luoyang Immortal Sect. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and his strength was unfathomable.

The three elders and twenty-four guardian Lords behind him made Zhou Xun feel even more pressured.

"Second Elder, today is a good opportunity to see your great skills!" Zhou Xun smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

The Second Elder snorted coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Little thief, you killed the Fifth Elder of the Luoyang Immortal Sect. If I don't cut you into pieces today, I will never be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Zhou Xun heard this and shrugged disapprovingly:

"Fifth Elder Yan Wuxu is seeking his own death. I am not to blame. It is you who dare to hunt me down. You must be prepared to pay the price."

"Arrogant!" The second elder shouted angrily, and with a pinch of magic formula in his hand, a blazing flame rushed straight towards Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun saw this and did not move at all.
The five demons in front of him raised their hands.
A white bone shield several dozen feet in size formed in the air, blocking the flames!

Seeing this, the Second Elder felt a little solemn and said slowly:
"Is this your proof?"

"If it were another day, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to do anything to you, but today——"

The voice hasn't fallen
The second elder flicked his sleeves.
Then a red pagoda flew out.

Then, the four elders simultaneously made hand gestures and struck the pagoda.

The pagoda spun around and swelled in the wind, becoming several dozen feet in size. It emitted golden flames all over its body, and it was extremely powerful.
Even the Second Elder and his men couldn't compare to him.

"What kind of treasure is this!"

Sensing this momentum, Zhou Xun became extremely alert.

"Zhou boy, you are in trouble. This pagoda is a semi-spiritual treasure!" At this moment, the voice of the Blood Demon Ancestor sounded beside his ears.
There was a rare hint of solemnity in his tone.

"What, half-spiritual treasure!"

Zhou Xun was also surprised.
"Go ahead and capture it!"

The second elder shouted loudly and pointed at Zhou Xun, and the pagoda instantly covered him!

"Zhou boy, quickly use the talisman you just got, I will stop him!"

As he spoke, the Blood Demon Patriarch clasped his hands together and shouted softly,
"Blood God Spirit Ban!"

A little bit in the air,
A flash of blood appeared, and the talismans turned into chains and stretched towards the pagoda.

Then, an amazing scene happened. The power of the pagoda's descent was successfully slowed down.
At the same time, the five Concentric Demons raised their hands at the same time.

A bone shield was placed against the bottom of the pagoda, blocking it from falling!
At the same time, Zhou Xun took out the golden talisman from Yan Wuxu's hand.
Slowly inject mana,

The talisman began to emit golden light, and it only took a dozen breaths to successfully activate it!
"Oh no! It's Junior Brother Yan's talisman. He's trying to run away!" This scene naturally fell into the eyes of the people on the opposite side. The third elder couldn't help but shout,

"Hurry, try harder, don't let him run away!" The second elder was very anxious and activated the pagoda with all his strength!

Sure enough, under such pressure, the bone shield could not hold on.
The bloody chains began to break one by one.

The pagoda fell quickly.
But at this time, Zhou Xun had already completed his arousal.
"Senior, let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, he put away the Five Heart Demons and the Blood Demon Ancestor.

The talisman in his hand turned into a green ball of light that wrapped around him, then suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving no trace!
