Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 848: Identity exposed, escape!
"Trouble?" Zhou Xun didn't understand what he meant.

Seeing this, Yunku Tianjun slowly said:

"Today, you took the Purple Jade Lightning Spear in front of everyone. It will definitely not escape the eyes of the Luoyang Immortal Sect cultivators!"

"By then, this news will definitely reach Fang Jiuzun's ears!"

"You know, this Purple Jade Lightning Spear is the life-saving magic weapon of Purple Jade Heavenly Monarch more than 6,000 years ago. It was originally at the level of a spiritual treasure!"

"And Fang Jiuzun is a vindictive man. The person he hates the most in his life is Ziyu Tianjun. Now that you have obtained this lightning spear, he will definitely not let you go!"

"What!" Zhou Xun was shocked when he heard this.
He knew that his magic weapon had a noble origin, but he did not expect that it would be the natal magic weapon of Zi Yu Tian Jun.

In this case, the secret he had concealed for so long might not escape Fang Jiuzun's eyes.
Thinking of Fang Jiuzun's identity as a mid-stage spirit transformation, he couldn't help but feel numb. If he was targeted by this person, he would probably have no chance of survival.

Even Yun Ku Tianjun might not be able to protect him.

However, if I don't fight today, the morale of the human race will plummet, and I will also be labeled a coward.
Secondly, he couldn't get the spear head, and couldn't form this half-spiritual treasure.

Who can tell clearly the gains and losses of this disaster?

Yun Ku Tianjun glanced at Zhou Xun. This was the cultivator who had the greatest hope of becoming a god in the next few hundred years.

At this critical juncture of the decisive battle between the human and ghost worlds, any deification is an extremely crucial existence.

It’s a pity that he is alone and weak, unable to compete with Fang Jiuzun, otherwise he would have protected Zhou Xun at all costs.

"Now it seems that the only strategy is to procrastinate!"

"In the next period of time, you must leave the Western Desert immediately and never come out again, including Dajin!"

"When you reach the peak of Nascent Soul and have the confidence to reach the Divine Transformation, contact me again. I will then help you reach the Divine Transformation!"

He waved his hand and took out a jade pendant and handed it over.

"This is my communication talisman. Crush it and I will come right over!"

"If you can really be promoted to the God Transformation Realm one day, with the magical power of the Thunder Sky Sect and my help, maybe you can fight against him!"

"Go!"

Zhou Xun took the jade pendant, put it in his arms solemnly, and bowed deeply:
"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Tian. I will leave now."

Yun Ku Tianjun nodded: "Be careful on this trip!"

Zhou Xun then took the teleportation array and quickly returned to the Jiangling Mansion of the Great Jin Dynasty.
At Yuanming Mountain, Zhou Xun immediately summoned all the disciples who stayed here as well as Xing Huaian, Yuan Paner and others.

Given Fang Jiuzun's tyranny and vindictiveness, once he knew his identity,
My disciples, friends and others,
They must all be within the scope of his anger, so Zhou Xun naturally had to bring them back to the East Desert in advance.
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

In the meeting hall, Zhou Jinsong walked in first, came to Zhou Xun and bowed.
At this time, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of Jindan, and it seemed that he had a great opportunity.

Zhou Xun glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I have called you all together today because I have something important to tell you."

Although his voice was calm, everyone could sense the solemnity in it.

Xing Huaian frowned and asked, "Master, has the war situation on the front line changed?"

Zhou Xun shook his head and said slowly: "It's more troublesome than the war."

"I have offended the King of Xiping, and he is the Prince of Dajin. With his ability, we naturally cannot stay in Dajin!"

Zhou Xun naturally couldn't tell Fang Jiuzun about this, otherwise who knows how many traitors might show up.
After all, human nature cannot stand the test.

"What?!" Yuan Pan'er's face changed. "The King of Xiping is ranked second among the ten great cultivators of Dajin, and he is also a prince of the royal family."

"If he really wants to deal with you, Junior Brother, wouldn't it be..."

She hadn't finished her words, but everyone understood the danger.

Zhou Jinsong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Master, I am willing to follow you to fight the enemy!"

Zhou Xun shook his head: "This matter is not for you to interfere. The most urgent task is to evacuate Dajin as soon as possible."

Xing Huaian pondered for a moment and said, "Master, if we all leave, Yuanming Mountain's foundation will be destroyed."

"The foundation can be rebuilt, but life is only one." Zhou Xun's eyes were firm, "I have decided to set off and return to the East Desert immediately."

Everyone was silent, but no one objected.

Zhou Xun looked at Zhou Jinsong and said, "Jinsong, you will be responsible for arranging for everyone to pack their luggage and set off in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes!" Zhou Jinsong clasped his fists and accepted the order.

He turned to Xing Huaian and Yuan Pan'er and said, "Friend Xing, Pan'er, you are responsible for sorting out the treasury. Take away everything that can be taken away, and destroy what cannot be taken away."

The two looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

A quarter of an hour later, a teleportation array deep in Yuanming Mountain lit up with white light, and all of Zhou Xun's disciples returned to the East Desert.

Zhou Xun stayed until the end. After returning to Eastern Wilderness, he immediately destroyed the teleportation array completely.

However, on the surface, he had already cut off the road to Dajin.

In fact, he had secretly set up a new teleportation array so that he could go to Dajin at any time. However, at that time, he could only change his identity again.

Three days later, Luoyang Immortal Sect.

In a crimson hall, a middle-aged man in a red robe with gold patterns sat on the main seat. The aura around him was as deep as the sea. Just by sitting in silence, the spiritual energy in the entire hall stagnated.

He is none other than the Grand Elder of Luoyang Immortal Sect—Fang Jiuzun!

"Disciple pays respect to the Lord of Heaven!"

True Lord Yan Yang condescended to kneel down and prostrate himself on the ground.

Fang Jiuzun waved his hand, and a force lifted him up, then he said:
"You didn't even bother to stay in the desert, but rushed back to the sect to inform me. What's the urgent matter?"

True Lord Yan Yang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have discovered something on the battlefield of the Western Desert. It is of great importance and I have to report it in person!"

Fang Jiuzun's eyes narrowed slightly: "Speak."

True Lord Yan Yang flipped his hand and took out a photo-retaining bead, and presented it respectfully: "Your Majesty, please have a look."

The image bead flickered, and a scene from the battlefield in the Western Desert appeared - Zhou Xun was holding a purple jade lightning spear, with lightning flashing everywhere, overwhelming King Jiuyou!

Fang Jiuzun's originally indifferent eyes suddenly condensed, and the aura around him suddenly burst out. The temperature in the entire hall suddenly rose, and even the void was faintly distorted!

"Purple Jade Lightning Spear?!"

He stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with coldness, and said word by word: "This gun has reappeared in the world!"

True Lord Yan Yang felt the terrifying pressure, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he hurriedly said: "Lord of the Heaven, please understand! This spear has been obtained by Zhou Xun, and he has refined it into a semi-spiritual treasure!"

"Zhou Xun?" Fang Jiuzun frowned, "Who is that?"

"This man is a palace master of the Great Jin Dynasty. His cultivation has now reached the late Nascent Soul stage. His combat power is amazing. He once defeated the Nine Nether King!"

True Lord Yan Yang quickly explained,
"More importantly, this person is a Thunder Daoist. When the Heavenly Monarch searched for a list of Thunder Dao masters in the world, this person was on the list!"

"Thunder Dao monk, do you have a Purple Jade Lightning Spear in the Hand Lei Xiao Sect?" Fang Jiuzun's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent.
"The successor of the old thief Ziyu!"

He slapped his palm hard, and the jade table beside him turned into powder in an instant!

"Good! Very good!" Fang Jiuzun laughed in anger, "When the old villain Ziyu died, I suppressed him for thousands of years. I thought his inheritance had long been cut off. I didn't expect that there are still people who dare to practice his skills and even dare to use his gun!"

True Lord Yan Yang said cautiously: "Lord, Zhou Xun has now left the Western Desert. I'm afraid he has noticed something."

Fang Jiuzun snorted coldly: "Escape? Where can he escape to?"

With his current power, once he knows who the person is and issues a wanted order, no one in the world would dare to disobey his orders.
After all, he is the only one in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

He waved his sleeves and a red talisman flew out, hovering in front of True Lord Yan Yang.

"Pass my order, all affiliated forces of Luoyang Immortal Sect, do your best to hunt down Zhou Xun! Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with one million spirit stones! Anyone who captures or kills him will be granted a chance to become a god!"

True Lord Yan Yang was shocked and quickly took the command talisman: "Disciple obeys your command!"

Fang Jiuzun's eyes were cold as he continued, "Also, send people to investigate. Don't let any of Zhou Xun's relatives, friends, or disciples go free! Kill all those who are related to him without mercy!"

"I want to see how long he can hide!"

"Yes!" True Lord Yan Yang took the order and retreated.

When Fang Jiuzun was the only one left in the hall, he slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of faint blue flame appeared on his palm. A vague shadow could be vaguely seen in the flame, which was the appearance of Zi Yu Tianjun!

"Old thief Ziyu..." Fang Jiuzun's eyes were filled with hatred.

"You repeatedly fought against me in the past. Today, I will destroy your heir's soul!"

The next moment, a hole suddenly appeared in the space in front of him, and he stepped into it.
……

Not long after, in the western desert, a figure suddenly appeared above the base camp.
The moment he appeared,

The four gods who were in charge of the base camp all opened their eyes.
"Yun Ku, come out and see me!"

Fang Jiuzun's voice exploded like thunder, instantly spreading throughout the entire Western Desert human base.

Yun Ku Tianjun frowned slightly, and his figure flashed and appeared in mid-air. He stepped on the golden lotus, Buddha's light flowed around his body, and he looked at Fang Jiuzun calmly.

"Fang Daoyou, why are you so anxious?"

Fang Jiuzun's eyes were cold, and he got straight to the point: "Where is Zhou Xun?"

"Zhou Xun?" Yun Ku Tianjun's expression remained unchanged. "He left the Western Desert a few days ago and returned to Dajin!"

"Humph!" Fang Jiuzun sneered, "Yun Ku, I heard that you have a close relationship with Zhou Xun, are you trying to protect him?"

Yun Ku Tianjun shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Fang, what you said is wrong. Zhou Xun is a cultivator of our human race, and he made great contributions in the battle against the ghost race. I was just rewarding him according to his merits. How can I say that I am protecting him?"

"You bald ass, you are still so sharp-tongued!" As he spoke, he flipped his palm.
In an instant, the color of the world changed!

Thousands of feet of red flames gushed out from Fang Jiuzun's palm, transforming into nine ferocious fire dragons that pounced straight on Yun Ku Tianjun.

Wherever the fire dragon passed, space collapsed inch by inch, and the scorching fire waves instantly evaporated the clouds within a hundred miles.

"Fang Jiuzun! How dare you!"

Yun Ku Tianjun's expression suddenly changed, and he put his hands together, and nine golden lotuses bloomed out of thin air. The lotus petals overlapped, forming a golden barrier in front of him.

This Fang Jiuzun is a person of low moral character and vindictive personality, but his talent for cultivation is rare in the world, otherwise he would not be able to become one of the only two mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators in the human world.

It is no exaggeration to say that his strength is the best among humans. This attack put Yun Ku Tianjun under great pressure.

next moment,
The fire dragon and the golden lotus collided, causing a deafening roar, and the entire sky was dyed gold and red.
Yunku Tianjun flew back upside down.

"Fang Daoist, wait a minute!"

At this time, a golden light shot up into the sky and turned into a golden light curtain, blocking the aftermath of Fang Jiuzun's attack. Then, an old man in a golden robe stood in the air.

It was the ancestor of the Great Jin Dynasty—Ji Wanren!

"Get away!"

Fang Jiuzun waved his sleeves, and a streak of red light swept out.

He actually tore the technical light curtain apart, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Ji Wanren, are you going to be my enemy?"

"Friend Fang is too overbearing."

A cold female voice sounded, and a woman in a moon-white dress came walking in the air. It was Jinbi Tianjun of the demon clan.

"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist! There is a war between the human and ghost worlds now, so don't start an internal conflict!" A young man in a black robe appeared. He was the Demon Lord of Six Paths.

Seeing the four great gods appear, Fang Jiuzun's eyes flashed coldly: "As long as Yun Ku tells me Zhou Xun's whereabouts, I will not pursue this matter any further!"

"Oh?" Yun Ku Tianjun raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Zhou Xun is a meritorious official of our human race. He defeated the ghost army and made great contributions to the stability of the country. The three Taoist friends are also aware of this."

"At this time when the ghosts are invading, how can we kill them in vain? How can we convince the others?"

"Fellow Daoist Fang, six thousand years have passed since that incident, and Purple Jade Heavenly Monarch has been dead for many years. Zhou Xun only got the treasure by chance, so he cannot be considered the heir of the Thunder Sky Sect!"

"Please think twice, fellow Taoist!"

"you--!"

Fang Jiuzun was extremely angry, and the red flames around him surged, dyeing the entire sky blood-red. "Yun Ku, you really want to go against me, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Yun Ku Tianjun sighed and said, "Fang Daoist, now that the war between the human and ghost races is imminent, why should we let personal grudges affect the overall situation?"

"Yes, Brother Fang, please think twice!" The other three also expressed their opinions!
Fang Jiuzun glanced at the people on the opposite side, and finally snorted coldly. Even if four gods joined forces, he would not be their opponent.
But he would never be willing to give up like this.

"Big picture?"

Fang Jiuzun sneered, "I don't need to worry about the overall situation when I act!"

He waved his hand violently, and a red talisman shot up into the sky, turning into a sky full of flames and condensing into a line of large characters:
"Zhou Xun stole our sect's most precious treasure. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with 100 top-grade spirit stones! Anyone who captures or kills him will be given the opportunity to become a god!"

As soon as this wanted order came out, all the monks in the Western Desert were in an uproar!

The chance to become a god! This is the fortune that countless Nascent Soul cultivators dream of!

Yun Ku Tianjun's face darkened slightly: "Fang Daoist, you are going too far by making such a big fuss to arrest a hero of the human race."

"Too much?" Fang Jiuzun grinned.

"We, the Nine Lords, have acted in a way that requires no judgment from others. Yun Ku, if you continue to talk too much, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Yun Ku Tianjun wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ji Wanren and others.

“Daoist Yun Ku, forget it!”

"In the battle between humans and ghosts, Fang Jiuzun is the most important fighting force, the overall situation is the most important!"

"Do you think Fang Jiuzun is someone who would contribute to the human world? Wasn't it Zi Yu Tianjun who entered the ghost world and killed six ghost gods in a row, and even created a ghost emperor?"

"How can there be six thousand years of peace?" Yun Ku Tianjun said angrily.

When Fang Jiuzun dealt with the Lei Xiao Sect back then, they turned a deaf ear to it. Are they going to do the same now?
"The Ghost Emperor has advanced to the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. Without Fang Jiuzun, our human world would have no chance of winning!" Ji Wanren sighed.

"No matter how talented Zhou Xun is, even if he breaks through, it won't affect the overall situation if we have one more person like you and me!"
