Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 854: Conquer the Thunder Dragon and plot against the Phantom Spirit!
This dragon was a hundred feet long, its scales glowing with purple-gold lightning, and a half-crystal jade horn had grown on its head. It was obvious that it was only one step away from transforming into a dragon.

It is indeed extraordinary.

You have to know that the Blood Demon Ancestor has high standards, he is the most clear,
As a true disciple of a major sect in the immortal world and a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage, he actually reacted like this to this thunder dragon.

This shows how extraordinary it is.

"If we can capture it and place it in Wangchuan Lake as a mountain guardian beast, it would be a great choice!"

A fourth-grade, top-quality spiritual beast is almost invincible in the Eastern Wilderness.

Perhaps sensing the change in Zhou Xun's gaze, Lei Jiao roared.
Then with a whoosh, it turned into a beam of light and tried to escape.

But the next moment, a red light blocked its way, and it turned out to be the Blood Demon Ancestor.

Since Zhou Xun wanted to subdue this beast, he naturally couldn't let him leave.

This dragon is proficient in the art of thunder escape. Once it uses its full strength, even Zhou Xun, who is now strong, would have a headache trying to catch up with it.

Seeing this, Lei Jiao was about to change direction, but on the other side, Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia were already waiting there.

Although the two of them are only of the lower fourth rank, they have extraordinary bloodlines and have awakened magical powers. Even if they are defeated, stopping them will not be a problem.

"You still want to escape? It seems that you won't accept it unless I teach you a lesson!"

Zhou Xun chuckled and opened his mouth.
All seventy-two thunder seeds flew out, and under Zhou Xun's control, they began to deform and stretch.
In just a few breaths, they turned into lightning chains thousands of feet long.
They intertwined with each other to form a giant thunder net a thousand feet in size, which covered the Thunder Dragon, determined to capture him alive.

Naturally, the dragon was unwilling to surrender.

I saw the two horns on his head flickering, and a white light lit up and shot out.

It transformed into a purple flying blade over a hundred feet long and chopped straight at the lightning chains.

"Fuck-"

The purple flying blade slashed on the lightning net, bursting out a dazzling electric light. Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows. The thunder dragon's attainments in thunder magic were so profound that it could even shake his own innate thunder seed.

As expected, it is a different bloodline.
"Interesting." Zhou Xun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and changed the seals with his hands. Suddenly, the seventy-two lightning chains dispersed and reorganized into nine lifelike thunder dragons, surrounding the purple flying blade.

"Roar!"

Nine thunder dragons roared at the same time, spewing purple-gold lightning from their mouths. The flying blade quickly melted under the impact of the lightning, and finally exploded into light spots all over the sky with a "bang".

Lei Jiao was shocked when he saw this, and the lightning light on the horn above his head suddenly increased. It seemed that he was trying to use some secret technique to escape.

"Want to run?" The Blood Demon Ancestor snorted coldly, and a blood line flew out from his sleeve, instantly entangled the Thunder Dragon's horn. The blood line squirmed like a living thing, and in a blink of an eye it covered the Thunder Dragon's body, forming a large blood-colored net.

"Blood Evil Soul Sealing Technique!" The Blood Demon Patriarch pinched his fingers and shouted. The blood-colored net suddenly tightened, and the Thunder Dragon was immediately struck by lightning, and the lightning all over its body stagnated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Xun's nine thunder dragons roared down and entangled the Thunder Dragon tightly. Each thunder dragon bit a vital point of the Thunder Dragon, making it unable to move.

"Are you convinced?" Zhou Xun stood in the air, looking down at the subdued Lei Jiao.

A fierce light flashed in the thunder dragon's eyes, and it suddenly opened its bloody mouth, spewing out a fist-sized purple demon pill. The surface of the demon pill was covered with lightning patterns, emitting heart-pounding fluctuations.

"Self-destructing demon pill?"

Zhou Xun looked a little strange. It was true that the self-detonation of the demon pill of the fourth-level high-quality demon beast was extremely powerful, and he was feeling very uncomfortable now.
But this dragon doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would destroy himself along with his foe, and he had seen what happened before.

"However, in front of me, self-destruction is just a luxury!"

Zhou Xun suddenly flashed in front of the demon pill, formed a strange seal with his hands, and a purple rune flew out from his palms and was accurately imprinted on the surface of the demon pill.

"seal up!"

The lightning patterns on the demon pill solidified instantly, and the violent energy fluctuations came to an abrupt stop. Lei Jiao was horrified to find that his connection with the demon pill had been cut off!
This is exactly the method of sealing the demon elixir recorded in "The True Art of Controlling Spirits".

Although the Yuling Sect has declined, this technique is actually a top-level beast taming technique, and it has ways to deal with all kinds of methods used by monsters.

This demon pill seal is one of them.

After all, a sect that keeps company with monsters all day and captures monsters in various places is bound to encounter some tough ones.

This magic formula was created for situations like this.
Now it is convenient for Zhou Xun.

While Lei Jiao was confused,

Zhou Xun pointed with one finger, and thirteen lightning patterns sank into the center of Lei Jiao's brow. These lightning patterns intertwined into a web in its sea of ​​consciousness, locking its soul tightly.

"Now, we can have a good talk." Zhou Xun landed in front of Lei Jiao and stood with his hands behind his back.

The fierce light in Lei Jiao's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of fear.
The fierce light in Lei Jiao's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of fear. It lowered its head and let out a dull roar, as if venting its dissatisfaction, but was worried about angering Zhou Xun.

"Two choices." Zhou Xun held up two fingers. "First, recognize me as your master. Maybe I can help you break through to the fifth level in the future."

"Second," Zhou Xun's mind moved, and a trace of dark lightning flowed past its soul.

"Or die, kill the dragon and get the elixir!"

Lei Jiao trembled all over. It could feel that Zhou Xun looked at it as if he was looking at a plate of delicious food.

If the Thunder Dragon really didn't know what to do, he wouldn't mind trying the meat of a fourth-grade top-grade Thunder Dragon.
I think it will be of great benefit to his cultivation!
Lei Jiao seemed to understand Zhou Xun's meaning and immediately lowered his huge head with his forehead touching the ground to show his submission!

Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction.

With a wave of his hand, he took out a palm-sized piece of fourth-grade high-quality spiritual wood, and with both hands, he refined it into a wooden tablet.
At the same time, he signaled Lei Jiao to separate a bit of his spirit and merge it into the wooden sign.

Lei Jiao had no choice but to do as he was told.
"Om-"

The moment the spirit dragon's soul merged into the spirit wood tablet, it burst into a dazzling purple-gold light.

Zhou Xun bit his fingertips and used his blood to outline mysterious patterns on the wooden sign. With every stroke, a pattern appeared on the wooden sign.

"This is the Soul Card?" A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Blood Demon Ancestor. "You are quite knowledgeable. You even know this secret technique of taming beasts."

Zhou Xun smiled and said nothing.

This soul card is exactly the top beast control method recorded in "The True Art of Controlling Spirits". It is different from ordinary spirit beast contracts.
This technique can seal part of the spirit beast's soul in the card, and the beast will die but the owner will remain unharmed.

When the last pattern was completed, a thunder dragon pattern appeared on the wooden sign.

"Souls and lives are connected, the contract is completed!"

A mysterious connection was established between the two.
Through the wooden sign, Zhou Xun could clearly sense every emotional fluctuation of the thunder dragon, and even predict its every thought.

A complex look flashed across Lei Jiao's eyes, showing both awe and a sense of inexplicable closeness.

"From today on, you will be called 'Xiao Zi'. Follow me to practice, and you will be able to become a god one day." Zhou Xun gently stroked the newly born jade horn on Lei Jiao's forehead.

Zi Ting growled, and his body quickly shrank to a length of three meters. He coiled around Zhou Xun intimately, completely different from his previous ferocious appearance. Then Zhou Xun asked the question he was most curious about.
This dragon is so cunning and agile, it doesn't seem like an unintelligent being.

After communicating, it turned out that this dragon accidentally ate a purple spiritual fruit. Not only did its cultivation level increase greatly, but it also purified its blood and opened up its spiritual wisdom.

Although it is still immature, it also represents its future potential.

Zhou Xun stroked the soul card in his hand, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes. No wonder this thunder dragon was able to escape from the desperate situation by faking self-explosion, it turned out that it had intelligence.

"By the way, do you know Phantom?"

Zhou Xun remembered the last purpose of his trip.

The last time I went to the Thunder Prison, I saw this thing on the top of Luojia Mountain, and the Thunder Dragon was also there.
But this time, there was no trace of the phantom.

Perhaps Lei Jiao would know its whereabouts, so I could save myself the time of looking for it.

But the Thunder Dragon shook his huge head. He didn't understand what was "phantom" or "not-phantom".

Ever since he gained intelligence, he has lived in the Thunder Prison, and all his knowledge is extremely narrow.

Looking at Lei Jiao's confused eyes, Zhou Xun also realized this problem.
So he stretched out his hand and waved,
An illusory light and shadow appeared in the air. It was an illusory little man the size of a palm with wings on his back. He was extremely agile and flapped his wings.

Seeing this little man,

There was a hint of annoyance in Lei Jiao's eyes, and it was obvious that he recognized this thing.

Then, a series of consciousness came to him, and Zhou Xun carefully distinguished and sorted them out, and then he understood what Lei Jiao wanted to express.

This imaginary little man would come to Luojia Mountain every few days to play with it.
However, the little man had no physical body, and even though Lei Jiao was extremely powerful, he was unable to hurt it at all. Instead, he was exhausted and covered with wounds by it.

"I see."

Zhou Xun rubbed his chin thoughtfully. It seemed that there was such a feud between this phantom spirit and the Thunder Dragon. No wonder the Thunder Dragon showed anger when it was mentioned.

Knowing that Zhou Xun was going to look for it, Lei Jiao shook his head, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and a thought came over him.
Zhou Xun's eyes lit up: "Lead the way!"

It turned out that this Thunder Dragon had once followed the other party to their lair.

The Thunder Dragon let out a long roar, and its body grew to about ten feet in size again, signaling Zhou Xun to ride on it.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia, who were not far away, curled their lips.

"Xiao Jia, this long worm is a fourth-grade upper-grade one. You and I must work together, or the master will be dragged over by it!" Xiao Jin felt a strong sense of crisis.

Originally, there was only one dragon beside Zhou Xun, but now there was a second one, so he was naturally a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, look at its flattering look!" Xiaojia also agreed.

Zhou Xun naturally ignored these.
He jumped lightly onto the dragon's back. Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia followed suit, but were blocked by a beam of lightning shot out by the thunder dragon.
"You!" Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia were furious.
This long worm snatched their place as soon as it arrived, and now it doesn't even give them two old people any face at all.

"Stop it!" Zhou Xun patted Lei Jiao.
It then reluctantly let the two beasts sit on it.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia sat on the dragon's back, feeling very proud.

"It seems that the master still likes me more!"

Following Zhou Xun's order,

A flash of lightning appeared around the Thunder Dragon, and it turned into a purple lightning and flew towards the west side of Luojia Mountain.

After several hours, after passing through several thunderclouds, a deep canyon appeared in front of them. The valley was filled with thunder fog, and countless tiny lightning flashes could be vaguely seen moving in it, like living things.

"It's right here." Lei Jiao stopped at the entrance of the valley, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "Every time that thing teases me, it will come back here."

Zhou Xun observed carefully and found that the thunder fog in the valley actually had the effect of blocking spiritual consciousness. He tried to probe his spiritual consciousness into the valley, but it was like a drop in the ocean and he lost contact in an instant.

"Interesting." Zhou Xun jumped off the back of the Thunder Dragon and took out a piece of parchment to examine it.

This was the map he had obtained from the Lei Xiao Sect's inheritance, which marked in detail some of the dangerous places in the Thunder Prison.

"Phantom Thunder Valley?" Zhou Xun compared the terrain and confirmed the location. The marking of this place on the map was very brief, with only six words written on it: "Illusions abound, enter with caution."

Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, thunder and fog suddenly surged in the valley. An illusory little man the size of a palm with transparent wings on his back flew out of the fog and looked at everyone curiously.

"Roar!" The thunder dragon roared, and the scales all over its body exploded. Seeing this, the little man made a face in the air, and Zi Ting was so angry that he spewed thunder and fire.

Moreover, it did not seem to be afraid of the crowd. Instead, it hovered in the air as if teasing them.

Zhou Xun looked carefully at this legendary "phantom".

I saw that its entire body was translucent, with tiny colorful spiritual lights flowing inside its body. Its face was similar to that of a human but more delicate. Its wings were as thin as cicada wings and were covered with mysterious spiritual patterns.

The most peculiar thing is that although this creature is right in front of him, Zhou Xun cannot feel any fluctuation of spiritual power, as if it does not exist in this space and time at all.

at this time,

"Fuck!"

A flash of lightning flashed and shot towards the phantom spirit. It was actually emitted by the Thunder Dragon.

But the phantom did not dodge,

The lightning penetrated the phantom's body as if it were passing through the air, without causing any harm.

The phantom spirit turned lightly in the air and stuck out its tongue at the thunder dragon, looking very proud.

“Sure enough, there is no entity.”

Zhou Xun's eyes sparkled.

The next moment, Huan Ling suddenly looked up and gave him a sly smile. Zhou Xun felt dizzy.

He actually went back to his youth, when he was working as a handyman at Hongyefang.
"Illusion?"

Zhou Xun's heart trembled, but with his current spiritual strength, he would not be affected by it. With a thought, he broke it.
But he did not reveal it, which was just enough to paralyze the phantom.

Sure enough, seeing Zhou Xun's stupid look, the villain seemed very proud.
But the next moment,
A colorful psylocke and a giant-nosed ape covered with golden hair appeared on the scene.
It was Zhou Xun’s Netherworld Butterfly and Soul-Eating Beast.

Phantoms have no physical form, and are difficult to deal with with ordinary spells.
But illusion and the magical power of the green ape might be able to restrain it.

As they appeared, the Dark Phantom Butterfly emitted an invisible light that instantly covered the Phantom.

Sure enough, its body trembled, but it quickly regained its composure and glared at the Dark Phantom Butterfly.

The illusion works, but seems to be limited.
Then, a gray light enveloped the phantom, instantly rendering it unable to move.
"Sure enough, the Green Ape is still effective against spirits!"
