Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 836: Rescue Xiyuan, Tianyuan Order is activated!
The two arrived at Zhou Xun's cave. Xiao Jia was well prepared and quickly set out a table of sumptuous spiritual meals, all of which were carefully cooked with high-level monster meat and rare spiritual plants.

Xiao Jin held out a jar of treasured spiritual wine, which was brewed from thousand-year-old spiritual fruits. As soon as the jar was opened, the rich and mellow aroma of the wine spread, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to vibrate.

After taking his seat, Master Qianchuan picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all, saying happily:

"This spiritual wine is quite strong! Today I was promoted to a great monk, all thanks to your support along the way, my dear brother. This glass of wine, I toast to you!" After saying that, he filled another glass for himself.

Zhou Xun smiled and clinked glasses with Master Qianchuan. He took a sip, and as the wine went down his throat, a warm spiritual power flowed through his body, making him feel comfortable all over.

"Brother Dao's own talent and hard work are the key. I am just trying my best to help you."

"Now that Brother Dao has entered the late Nascent Soul stage, he will surely be able to achieve great things on the front line of the Western Desert in the future and make the ghost tribe tremble in fear."

After three rounds of drinking, Master Qianchuan's face turned slightly red, and he was in high spirits. Suddenly he remembered something, took out a jade slip and placed it on the stone table, saying:
"My dear brother, now that I have been promoted, I have nothing to repay you for. Here are my experiences and insights from this breakthrough!"

Zhou Xun was slightly stunned, his eyes fell on the jade slip, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He was well aware of the value contained in this jade slip. For cultivators, the insights gained during a breakthrough are often the most precious experience, which can help later generations avoid many detours.

Qianchuan Zhenjun's move was undoubtedly to share his most precious wealth with him.

"Brother Dao, this... is too precious."

Master Qianchuan waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "Don't refuse, my dear brother. Without you, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage."

"If my experience can help you reach the level of a great monk, I will be satisfied!"

Zhou Xun solemnly picked up the jade slip and put it into his storage bag:
"If that's the case, then I'll accept it!"

Qianchuan Zhenjun laughed and raised his wine glass again:
"Come on, continue drinking! We won't go home until we are drunk today!" The two men raised their glasses and drank again. As the wine went into their stomachs, the atmosphere became more and more heated.

It was not until late at night that Master Qianchuan got up to say goodbye.

After Zhou Xun sent Master Qianchuan away, he returned to the cave and immediately took out the jade slip given by Master Qianchuan.

He sat cross-legged on the cushion and probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip. Suddenly, all the images and insights of True Lord Qianchuan's breakthrough flooded into his mind like a tide.

Perhaps to thank Zhou Xun for his help, Master Qianchuan described all the details and insights of his breakthrough clearly.

Zhou Xun immersed himself in it, experiencing it carefully, as if he had personally experienced the difficult breakthrough process.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes, with a gleam of wisdom in them.

Through the insights in the jade slips, he gained a clearer understanding of his own path of cultivation.

"Brother Dao, this gift is really a timely help." Zhou Xun muttered to himself.
"In this way, within two years, you can try to reach the late Nascent Soul stage!"

In the following days, Zhou Xun studied the method of reaching the late Nascent Soul stage while completing the inspection team.
Occasionally, I would go into the ghost fog with a few friends to hunt down the ghost king.

Unknowingly, half a year has passed.

On this day, Zhou Xun was meditating in the cave.
suddenly--

A beam of fire flew in, and it turned out to be Yunku Tianjun summoning him.
Zhou Xun immediately set out and came to Yunku Tianjun's cave.
"Greetings to the Lord of Heaven!"

When he got here, he found that Master Qianchuan was also here.
In addition, there is an old man wearing a black robe and with a sinister face. His nails are a dark green color, which is very distinctive.

He knew this person, known as the Black Wind Demon, who was also a late Nascent Soul cultivator stationed at the Western Desert Base Camp.

“No need to be so polite!” Master Yun Ku pointed to the desk below and motioned him to sit down.

"I called you two here today because there is an important matter that needs your help!" Yun Ku Tianjun Hua cast his gaze towards Zhou Xun and spoke slowly.
"Half a month ago, the passage to the ghost world was in turmoil again. The ghosts wanted to use secret techniques to expand the passage and increase the number of intruders into our human world."

"But in the end, he was suppressed by me and a few fellow Taoists!"

"But in many places in my human world, many ghost fog passages have appeared!"

"Ghost Mist Passage?"

Zhou Xun frowned slightly, and instantly remembered that when he was in the Eastern Wilderness before, the more than one hundred places of ghost fog were this kind of product.

They can be considered as small ghost world passages, most of which can only be passed by ghosts in the Jindan stage.
But there are a small number of them that can allow the fourth-level ghost king to pass through, which is a disaster for many places in the human world.
Could it be that Yunku Tianjun summoned him today because of this matter?
"The Lord of Heaven wants me and Brother Qianchuan to go together to suppress these ghost fog passages?" Zhou Xun asked.
"Yes, your cultivation is not low. You have hunted high-grade ghost kings many times and have solved the problem of ghost fog before. After thinking about it, I plan to send you!" Yun Ku Tianjun nodded.

"I don't know where?"

"The Xiyuan cultivation world is also the hometown of this young friend Zhu!" Yun Ku Tianjun pointed at the black-robed old man beside him.

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately stood up and bowed to Zhou Xun.
"Zhou Zhenjun, to be honest, after the ghost fog passage appeared, many immortal cultivation sects have been attacked."

"Some of the weaker sects suffered heavy casualties among their disciples, and their mountain protection formations were also crumbling under the attacks of the ghost tribe."

"Now the people in the Xiyuan cultivation world are in a panic, and many cultivators have come to me for help, but my power is really limited, so I can only come to ask the Heavenly Sovereign for help."

True Lord Qianchuan frowned as he listened to the situation. He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "It's so serious! Have any high-level ghost kings ever passed through those ghost fog passages?"

"If it's just the Jindan stage ghosts, with the power of the local immortal cultivators, maybe they can hold out for a while." The old man surnamed Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Master Qianchuan may not know, but as far as I know, more than ten fourth-rank ghost kings have passed through. What's even more terrifying is that there is also the aura of a fourth-rank upper-grade ghost king."

Zhou Xun's heart sank when he heard this. He knew the strength of the fourth-level upper-grade ghost king very well.
What is even more difficult is the ghost fog, which can accommodate a fourth-level upper-grade ghost king to pass through, which shows that this ghost fog passage is already quite large.

If a high-grade ghost king really entered the Xiyuan cultivation world, it would probably be difficult to resist given the strength of the local cultivators.

"Lord Tianjun, I will do my best in this mission. I just don't know if there is any other support besides me and Brother Qianchuan?" Zhou Xun looked at Lord Yunku.
Yun Ku Tian Jun nodded slightly: "In addition to the two of you, Zhu Xiaoyou will also go with you."

"He has extensive connections in the Xiyuan cultivation world and is quite familiar with the local terrain. He will definitely be able to lend you a helping hand."

"In addition, I will select a group of elite monks from the base camp to form a support team and obey your orders."

Zhou Xun and Qianchuan Zhenjun exchanged a glance and said, "Thank you, Tianjun, for your arrangement! We will definitely live up to your trust and suppress the Ghost Fog Passage as soon as possible to restore peace to the Xiyuan cultivation world."

"By the way, I have another request!"

"you say!"

"It may not be easy to go to the Xiyuan cultivation world this time. I need to go back to Dajin to get some treasures. I can return in ten days!"

Since we want to solve the crisis of Xiyuan's cultivation world, it is definitely not enough to just kill those ghost kings. The key is to seal off those ghost passages.
The best person he could think of to do this was the Green Ape.

It’s just that last time I was worried about danger, so I left it in the Eastern Wilderness, and this time I want to take it away.

"No problem, it's done!"

After bidding farewell to Yunku Tianjun, Zhou Xun took a map of the Xiyuan cultivation world from the Black Wind Old Demon, and asked Qianchuan Zhenjun and the other two to go there first with the reinforcements, and he would rush over after obtaining the treasure.

The three of them acted separately.

Zhou Xun returned to Dajin again through the Western Desert Teleportation Hall, and then returned to the Eastern Desert through the teleportation array of Yuanming Mountain in Jiangling Prefecture.

"Greetings, Master!" Yu Siyue seemed extremely happy when she saw Zhou Xun.

Now, she has grown into an adult, standing tall and graceful, and her cultivation has reached the foundation-building stage.

"Yes, you haven't slacked off in these years!"

Yu Siyue has extraordinary talent. Under his careful training, she will have the hope of reaching the late Nascent Soul stage in the future. He has designated her as the future master of Wangchuan Lake.

After a brief greeting, Zhou Xun went straight to the training room at the bottom of the lake.
At this time, the main body was sitting in the practice room practicing in seclusion.

In terms of cultivation, the main body is still far behind the incarnation of Lei Dao, but within twenty years, he will be able to reach the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage!

Zhou Xun's real body slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of spiritual light, and his aura was as calm as the abyss. He nodded slightly and said, "It seems that the situation in Xiyuan is urgent?"

The incarnation of Lei Dao nodded: "Many ghost fog passages have appeared in the Xiyuan cultivation world, and a high-grade ghost king has descended. I need to take the green ape to suppress it."

"I'm ready!" The main body waved his hand, and several rays of light flew out and hovered in front of him.

The ghost flag with the aura of the green ape, the Tianyuan Order and the Xuanting Thunder Sword left behind.

As for the incarnation of Thunder Dao, he also left behind three of the 'Ninth Level Destruction Pills' that Yun Ku Tianjun had previously refined.

After exchanging treasures, the main body continued to stay in the East Desert to practice meditation.
Lei Dao's incarnation returned to the Western Desert through the teleportation array.

"Meet Master Wangchuan!"

Almost as soon as he appeared in the teleportation hall of the Western Desert, a middle-aged man came to greet him. He was dressed in a green robe, with a respectful expression, and his cultivation level was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
"Who is Taoist Fellow Taoist?"

"I am Yu Chen, and I am waiting for you here by your order!" the middle-aged man said,

The Black Wind Master he mentioned is actually the Black Wind Demon.

The middle-aged man was waiting here, apparently to lead him the way.

"In that case, then it's perfect, you and I can go together!"

The Xiyuan Cultivation Realm is located in the Baicang Continent.
The teleportation array connecting Ximo to Baicang Continent is located in the middle of this continent, in a place called "Canghai Lake".

The Canghai Lake is very vast. Although it is a lake, it is almost the same size as the sea. Its area is not much smaller than that of the Xiyuan Cultivation World.

It is also known as the largest lake in the human world.
If you want to go to the Xiyuan cultivation world, you must first transfer through Canghai Lake.

When the two of them arrived at the shore of Canghai Lake via the teleportation array, it was almost dusk.

The lake is sparkling, reflecting the sunset glow in the sky, which is beautiful.
Looking at the boundless Canghai Lake scenery, Zhou Xun couldn't help but stare in a trance.

"What a blessed place! Canghai Lake is indeed the largest lake in the world!" Zhou Xun clapped his hands in praise.

"Lord Wangchuan, please follow me." Yu Chen summoned a green flying boat.
"The teleportation array to Xiyuan is located on Xiyuan Island, which is still seven days away from here!"

"Seven days is a bit long!" Zhou Xun muttered.
"Let me take you!"

As he was speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a pair of lightning wings with a wingspan of more than ten feet spread out from behind Zhou Xun.
It's the Thunder Wings.

"go!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand, and a blue-purple ball of light enveloped the middle-aged man, and then grabbed him.
With a flap of his wings, he appeared more than a thousand feet away.
After a few rises and falls, it turned into a stream of purple light and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Three days later, a lush island came into view. The buildings on the island were scattered in an orderly manner. The most conspicuous one was a seven-story tower that was completely black.

"Zhou Zhenjun, that is Xiyuan Island!" Yu Chen introduced, looking at the familiar scene in the distance.

He didn't expect that it would take him seven days to get there, but Zhou Xun had already arrived in three days. He was indeed extraordinary, as expected of the world-famous Master Wangchuan.

With Xiyuan's help, the problem can surely be solved easily!
"That's the Zhenhai Tower, the core of Xiyuan Island's protective formation. The teleportation formation is also in the tower!"

Then Zhou Xun brought Yu Chen to land in the square in front of the tower.
"Without further delay, let's head to Xiyuan!"

With Yu Chen, the local Yuanying Zhenjun, leading the way, Zhou Xun and his companions arrived at the third underground floor without any obstacles.
I took the teleportation array again and arrived at Xiyuan.

As soon as he landed, Zhou Xun felt several powerful spiritual senses sweeping over him.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed swift and decisive!" The old demon Black Wind came out laughing, accompanied by True Lord Qianchuan and an elegant middle-aged man.

"I calculated the date you should arrive, but I didn't expect it to be so early."

Zhou Xun bowed and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Excuse me, Master Zhenjun. This is Master Beiyuan, one of the three great monks in Xiyuan," the old man pointed at the elegant middle-aged man and introduced him.
"There is also a fairy named Shangyin, who is currently leading the monks to fight against the ghost tribe on the front line!"

Zhou Xun nodded and asked:
"How is the situation now?"

"We just received news that the top-grade ghost king has already captured Echo Valley, one of the three major sects in Xiyuan, and is setting up some kind of formation to stabilize the ghost fog passage."

The old man surnamed Zhu added solemnly, "What's more troublesome is that it seems to be devouring the essence and blood of the captured monks to increase its strength."

Zhou Xun frowned: "There is no time to lose, we must set off immediately, we must not let this ghost fog spread wantonly, otherwise it will be more difficult to deal with!"

Everyone looked solemn and nodded in agreement.

Master Qianchuan looked determined, clenched his fists and said, "We must not let that evil creature succeed and harm innocent monks."

The Black Wind Demon snorted coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Humph, if you dare to act so presumptuously in my Xiyuan cultivation world, I will make you pay a heavy price."

Zhenjun Beiyuan stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "Zhao Zhenjun has come from a long way and is exhausted. I should have let you rest for a while, but the situation is critical now. I hope you can understand."

Zhou Xun waved his hand, his expression firm: "Master Beiyuan is too polite. Saving people is like putting out a fire. We can't delay for a moment."

Then everyone set out together, heading towards Echo Valley.

Just when Zhou Xun had flown about 100,000 miles, he heard a strange movement in his storage bag. It was his Tianyuan Order, which was glowing slightly!
