Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 839: Green Ape awakens with new strength!
"It can't be that you are reluctant to let go, right?" Master Qianchuan said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.

Fairy Huiyin pondered for a moment and spoke first:

"Fellow Daoist Qianchuan is right. The ghost tribe's disaster has threatened the entire Xiyuan cultivation world. If we continue to be stingy with the mountain protection formation, I'm afraid we won't even be able to protect the mountain gate in the future."

She glanced at everyone present and said in a firm tone:
"My Echo Valley's 'Nine-turn Echo Formation' is a top-grade fourth-order one. I am willing to offer it to seal the largest ghost world passage. I wonder if it is feasible?"

Zhou Xun thought for a moment after hearing this, and then replied:

“I can’t guarantee that the largest passage can accommodate a fourth-rank upper-grade ghost king!”

Upon seeing this, Beiyuan Zhenjun immediately said, "Since this is the case, our Beiyuan sect is also willing to contribute the 'Mysterious Ice Soul Sealing Formation', which is also a fourth-level top grade!"

The Black Wind Demon snorted coldly. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he knew that this was not the time to argue. He said in a deep voice:
"I can also take out the 'Ten Thousand Souls Prison Formation' from the Black Wind Valley. I wonder if the three top-grade formations can suppress this passage!"

"If there are three top-grade magic arrays, it should be safe to suppress it!" Zhou Xun pondered for a moment and replied.
"That's great. I'll trouble Master Zhou then!"

Seeing that the three great cultivators had expressed their opinions, the elders from other sects also responded, expressing their willingness to contribute their sect's mountain protection formation.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction and said, "You all understand the great principles, which is a blessing for the Xiyuan cultivation world."

He paused and then said:
"However, the magic array alone is not enough to suppress it for a long time. It also needs to be combined with the power of the 'Empty Seal' and the 'Tathagata Seal'."

"I will personally teach you the sealing method later and assign you tasks. Act as soon as possible."

Fairy Shang Yin nodded slightly and said softly, "Master Zhou is so kind, we will cooperate with him fully. When will Master Zhou start?"

Zhou Xun thought for a moment and said, "Without further delay, I will teach you these two seals tonight."

"However, this method requires a lot of aptitude to practice. If you have high aptitude, you can learn it overnight. If you don't have enough aptitude, it will be difficult to achieve results even if you practice for a hundred years!"

"I will only teach this technique three times,"

"After that, I set off for the largest ghost world passage and used the 'Nine Heavens Echo Formation' in the Echo Valley as a basis to perform the seal."

The Black Wind Demon narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Master Zhou, I have a question - is the sealing method you mentioned really foolproof? What if the ghosts try to break through it in the future?"

Zhou Xun's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Brother Heifeng's concerns are not without reason. The 'Empty Seal' and the 'Tathagata Seal' were taught by the Heavenly Sovereign himself, and they are enough to seal the gap between the two worlds."

“But if the ghost tribe attacks at all costs with the power of several ghost kings, it is indeed possible that they will be able to break free.”

He fixed his eyes and continued:
"So, after the seal, we need to form a coalition as soon as possible, take the initiative to attack, wipe out the remaining ghost forces, and regularly patrol the various passages. If there is any change, report it immediately!"

"Besides, with these three top-grade magic arrays, we should be able to hold out for a long time!"

"By the way, if you can take out the Xuankong Crystal, I can refine a teleportation array so that reinforcements can arrive at any time!"

Zhenjun Beiyuan clapped his hands and praised: "Zhao Zhenjun has thought it through, and I admire him. In this case, we will act according to the plan!"

"Okay, I will teach you these two seals first," Zhou Xun said, and came to the front of the crowd.

"Everyone, please watch carefully. I will demonstrate it first!"

He was seen forming seals with his hands, muttering something, casting spells very slowly, and at the same time revealing the path of the spiritual energy in his body.

Everyone spread out their spiritual awareness and observed carefully.

As Zhou Xun's magic power was activated,

Mysterious runes flashed in his hands.

After a while,

A golden light emanated from him, and then turned into a ball of golden light that slowly emerged in the air, exuding a mysterious aura.

at the same time,

There was also a sense of illusion coming from above.

"This seal seems to be able to gather the power of the void!" Fairy Shang Yin realized.

"Yes, the key to this seal is to gather the power of the void, fill the cracks between the two worlds, and at the same time bless the mysterious light of Buddhism and Taoism, making it difficult for the ghosts to crack it!"

Zhou Xun explained.

"It's indeed a mysterious method!" said Beiyuan Zhenjun with emotion.

"Next, I will teach you all the practical techniques of this seal and the routes for the circulation of spiritual energy!"

"Just watch my movements and the way my spiritual power works."

"This 'Empty Seal' is the key magical power to seal the rift between the two worlds. It is extremely difficult to perform and requires more precise spiritual power control and a deeper understanding of the power of space."

Zhou Xun explained patiently, demonstrating and explaining in detail the key points of performing the magical power.

Everyone watched from the sidelines, remembering every detail. If they could learn this method in the future,
You can easily solve the ghost fog.

After the first explanation, only about one in ten monks understood all the key points of using the 'Empty Seal'.
The rest of the people were in a state of confusion.
"Zhou Zhenjun, can you explain it again?" Many people began to ask.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun shook his head:
"If you can't understand it the first time, it means you don't have the opportunity to practice this secret technique. This is true even for a Divine Transformation cultivator!"

After hearing this, these people gave up and said, "It seems that we really don't have this fate."

So they said goodbye one after another and started to return to the sect to set up the mountain protection formation.

Looking at the remaining six people, Zhou Xun continued teaching:

"Now, you try to use it!"

"Well, let me try first!" Fairy Shangyin said.

Then he closed his eyes and recalled Zhou Xun's demonstration and explanation. He started practicing with the "Tathagata Seal", slowly forming seals with his hands and feeling the flow of spiritual power in his body.

"Kong Ruyin, rise!"

As she spoke, Fairy Shang Yin pointed her hand forward.
As she moved, a mysterious aura began to spread around him.

However, just when Fairy Shangyin thought she was about to succeed, her spiritual power suddenly became disordered.

Dissipates instantly!

"I failed too!"

"It seems that this 'Empty Seal' is indeed difficult to practice." Fairy Shang Yin sighed.

Seeing this, everyone became depressed.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun laughed and said:

"Fairy Shangyin, don't be discouraged. If you can perform to this point, it means that you are able to practice this method, but you just lack a key opportunity!"

As he spoke, he made hand gestures and pointed towards himself. From that seed of Buddha's power, a strand of it separated.
"To use this seal, you need the power of Buddhism. This is the source of my practice. I will give you a strand as a seed. I think you will be able to use it successfully!"

Then, facing others:
"The same goes for you all. If you can reach the level of Fairy Shangyin, it means that your cultivation is successful. You can come to me to receive the Buddha power seed."

"If it can't be achieved, then there is no chance for it!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Shang Yin's eyes flashed with gratitude, and she solemnly took the golden Buddha power seed and put it into her dantian. In an instant, a faint golden light appeared around her, and a gentle and vast power flowed through her body.

She took a deep breath and formed seals again. This time, the flow of her spiritual energy was incredibly smooth. Strands of golden runes condensed at her fingertips and eventually turned into a miniature "Empty Seal".

"It worked!" she said in surprise.

"Not bad!" Zhou Xun nodded slightly. Although this 'Empty Seal' was still very weak, as Fairy Shang Yin continued to practice, its power would definitely become stronger and stronger.

Until the standard for sealing the passage to the ghost world is reached.

Seeing this, everyone tried it.
Among the remaining few people, Zhenjun Beiyuan and two Nascent Soul cultivators also managed to condense a prototype. Although it was not as complete as Fairy Shangyin's, they had also grasped the key.

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Yes, being able to condense a prototype shows that you have the qualifications to practice this method."

After that, he separated a few strands of Buddha power seeds and gave them to the three people respectively.

However, the other Nascent Soul cultivators were unable to perform the technique successfully no matter what they did, including the old demon Black Wind. In the end, they could only shake their heads and sigh, and retreat with regret.

"It seems that we are really not destined to learn this skill." An old man said with a wry smile.

Zhou Xun consoled him, "It's okay. Although you can't perform the sealing technique, you can be responsible for dispatching disciples and setting up the magic array, which is equally important."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved and left one after another.

After everyone dispersed, Fairy Shang Yin looked at Zhou Xun and asked, "Master Zhou, now that several fellow Taoists have mastered the 'Empty Seal', should we set out immediately to seal the passage to the ghost world?"

Zhou Xun nodded: "Without further delay, we will split into five groups - I will go to the largest passage, while Fairy Shangyin and Zhenjun Beiyuan will handle the other small passages."

"As for Daoist Fellow Heifeng, why don't you come with me? I still need you to lead the way to the largest passage to the ghost world!"

The Black Wind Demon nodded: "Although I don't like to be ordered around, this matter concerns the survival of Xiyuan, so I will follow your words!"

Then, Zhou Xun took the lead with the Echo Valley's mountain protection formation and, under the leadership of the Black Wind Demon, rushed towards the largest passage to the ghost world.

The two of them took turns steering the flying boat, flying northwest.
One day later, there was a ripple not far ahead, followed by the appearance of ghosts of various shapes and forms.

There were also extremely sharp cries.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun sneered and waved his hand.
Hundreds of lightning flashed.
Then it shot towards the ghosts, and wherever it passed, the ghost fog was cleared away, leaving hundreds of passages.

Then,

"Boom!"

All the lightning flashed instantly, accompanied by the ghosts' shrill cries, and destroyed them all.

Leaving a gap of several thousand feet in size.

"The True Lord's magical power is truly amazing!" Black Wind Old Demon sighed. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to kill them all so easily.

"you flatter me!"

Just like that, Zhou Xun walked in and eliminated all the ghosts he encountered along the way.

I flew for seven days.
The two of them were in front of a deep canyon.
In the canyon, black fog was swirling, as dark as ink, making it impossible to see the details inside!

"This place was originally a famous dangerous place in my Xiyuan, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. But now it has become the heart of ghost fog!" explained the Black Wind Demon.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded and said:
"Fellow Daoist Black Wind, you will stay here and be responsible for the support!"

Before he finished speaking "but", Zhou Xun flashed and flew into the canyon. Seeing this, the Black Wind Demon had no choice but to wait at the edge of the canyon.

At the same time, Zhou Xun had gone hundreds of miles deep into the canyon.

The ghostly fog around him was so thick that it almost turned into substance, constantly eroding his protective aura.

Green light flowed in his eyes, and his 'Spiritual Green Light Pupil' was operating to its full potential, searching for the exact location of the ghost world passage in the darkness.

"It should be just ahead." Zhou Xun walked in the opposite direction of the ghost fog.

Half an hour later, Zhou Xun suddenly stopped. A hundred feet ahead, a huge crack that spanned the sky and the earth was faintly visible.

The edge of the crack kept twisting, like a greedy mouth, continuously spitting out eerie ghostly air.

Just as he was about to get closer, the ground suddenly shook violently!
"boom!"

A huge black claw that was a hundred feet in size broke out of the ground and went straight for Zhou Xun's throat!
Zhou Xun frowned slightly. This aura was actually from a fourth-rank upper-grade ghost king! And it was even stronger than the previous Black Axe King!
But, that's all!

Just as Zhou Xun was about to make a move, there was a sudden vibration from the storage bag on his waist.
"Xiao Qing?" Zhou Xun laughed dumbly.
"It seems that I smelled the scent of the ghost tribe. My nose is really sensitive!"

Zhou Xun slapped his hand on his waist and took out the ghost flag.
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.
As soon as the green ape appeared, it seemed extremely excited. Its eyes were fixed on the Ghost King in front of it, and it excitedly hit its nose a few times.

The ghost king's face suddenly darkened and he showed a trace of panic, as if a mouse saw a cat!
"How can you have this sacred beast that eats souls?"
Then the green ape hit his broad nose.

I saw a ray of green light flying out and shining straight into the dark fog ahead.

Wherever the blue clouds went, the black fog seemed to have met its nemesis and dissipated.

Then cover this ghost king!
"How is this possible? A peak level 4 ghost king!" The ghost king was shocked.
His body surface began to burn, and black mist rose up.

Seeing this, the Green Ape became more excited, and his nose twitched again. Qingxia retracted, sensing this, and the Ghost King fought back desperately.

The Green Ape encountered a being that could resist him for the first time, and he became even more excited. He hit his nose hard a few times.

The gray light became brighter and brighter, pulling the Ghost King into the belly of the green ape.

Sensing this, the Ghost King was shocked, and he put his hands together, trying his best to resist, and his figure gradually began to move away.
The two sides continued to distance themselves from each other.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun shook his head and lightly nodded. A white thunderbolt struck over.

"No!" The Ghost King showed fear on his face. At this critical moment of the fight, any bit of strength could be the deciding factor, not to mention the Yin Lei, a magical power that could restrain the ghosts.
"Fuck!"

The lightning struck the Ghost King, causing him to freeze, and was then rapidly pulled closer by the Green Ape's grey light, becoming smaller and smaller, until it was inhaled through his nose.

The little monkey patted his belly, seeming to be very satisfied and with an expression as if he was still not satisfied.

Zhou Xun showed a hint of surprise when he saw this.

You know, this is a fourth-level peak ghost king!
In terms of strength, he is comparable to a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, but he is still firmly restrained by the Green Ape.

After eating this ghost king,

The green ape seemed extremely satisfied and patted his belly to indicate that he was full.

But Zhou Xun had no intention of taking him back.

A high-grade ghost king appeared here, who knows if a second one will appear?

Since the Green Ape has a very strong ability to restrain them, let it protect them.

Soon, Zhou Xun arrived in front of the huge space crack and prepared to cast a spell to seal it.
