Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 201 The Seven Treasures Gourd and the Black Banner of Earth Fire

The Taoist priest of Tianyin practiced evil arts, possessing extremely heavy karmic power. Naturally, he could not cause any ripples under the terrifying thunder.

Terrifying thunder roared, and despite its desperate struggle, howls and wails could be heard from the sky filled with lightning. Countless skulls and black light struggled, changing their shapes as they tried to crawl out.

However, the entire thunderous tremor seemed to transform into a gigantic abyss, generating immense suction that devoured all external resentment.

With a final, unwilling roar, its body was torn to pieces in the lightning, its flesh and bones reduced to ashes, its soul scattered and vanished without a trace.

However, his master died, and the Soul-Capturing Banner, which had been meticulously crafted over hundreds of years and had devoured the flesh and souls of countless living beings, could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded, shattering into pieces.

He wields heavenly thunder and punishes on behalf of Heaven.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Path of Thunder.

Xu Changjun's greatest strength lies in his divine golden body, which is the position of Thunder God obtained through the faith of all living beings by the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable.

In addition, his physical body, transformed by the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine, makes him innately compatible with thunder, making him a naturally born thunderous body.

Only after using the Five Thunder Technique to completely destroy the Heavenly Yin True Man was Xu Changjun able to vent his anger.

Living beings cultivate magical power and seize the creations of heaven and earth, but they will also be affected by the rules of magical power.

Xu Changjun cultivates the Five Thunder Technique and evolves the Thunder Dao Embryo. He is also slightly affected by the power of thunder, making his methods more violent, ruthless, and merciless.

After accepting the authority of the Mountain God Seal and becoming the Mountain God of Qilian Mountain, the Qilian Mountains, spanning tens of thousands of miles, became his exclusive domain.

It was like Xu Changjun's backyard, and he regarded everything in the mountains as his private property.

This is also the key to his current cultivation using the mountain's terrain. Now that someone has broken into his home and vandalized it, only by killing the intruder can he quell his anger.

"The demonic cultivators deserve no pity for their deaths; their flesh and blood corpses are also bodies of immortals. Let the rain of blood fall like sweet dew, which can be considered an atonement!"

Although Xu Changjun used a series of powerful methods to kill his opponent, the strength of this Tianyin Daoist should not be underestimated.

According to Xu Changjun's observation, this person is at least at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm to the initial stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

After being struck by five thunderbolts, its body exploded and tore into pieces. The blood and flesh produced by the explosion turned into a rain of blood that fell like a torrential downpour, nourishing the surrounding mountain range.

This caused the surrounding plants and trees to grow rapidly at a visible rate, and in an instant, the devastated land around them was transformed.

Countless flowers bloom out of season, and trees grow strong and lush.

Heaven is ruthless, regarding all things as worthless.

Cultivators seize the creations of heaven and earth to preserve themselves; it's all for personal gain.

However, when they perish, they devour the essence of heaven and earth and seize the power of magic, which will also give back to heaven and earth, which can be considered a cycle of cause and effect.

Squeak!

A squirrel called out from below, and then it jumped from below onto Xu Changjun's shoulder, holding something in front of him with its two little hands, as if asking for praise.

As the mountain god of Qilian Mountain, all the spiritual creatures in this mountain range are Xu Changjun's subjects. He is gentle in nature and has always been quite tolerant of the various animals that live in the mountain range.

Even when a squirrel ran onto his shoulder, he didn't care at all.

"Little guy, what good stuff have you found this time? Let me see!"

Xu Changjun accepted the item with a smile, glanced at it, and then his gaze suddenly froze.

"These are seeds from a purple-gold gourd!"

Xu Changjun held the purple seed, which looked no bigger than a melon seed, up to the sunlight. Instantly, a dazzling purple light shone into his eyes, making him instantly aware of what the thing in his hand was.

In the beginning of time, seven-colored gourd seeds appeared in the world, and these purple-gold gourd seeds are the seeds that were propagated by their descendants.

"Although it's not a seven-colored gourd seed, this purple-gold gourd seed is just what I need. As for a real seven-colored gourd seed, I'm afraid that's beyond my current means."

Although he became the mountain god of Qilian Mountain, Xu Changjun had a very clear understanding of his own status.

Putting everything else aside, in terms of cultivation level alone, he was only a Celestial Immortal. In the vast and terrifying prehistoric world, he was merely a slightly larger ant.

There are too many terrifying beings living in this world. Even when trying to improve one's cultivation level, one must be extremely cautious in order to survive in this chaotic world.

He will fight for what is rightfully his and never let go, while he will choose to give up on other things that are beyond his control without the slightest hesitation.

"Good job, little guy!"

He then sent a wisp of magical energy between his fingers into the squirrel's body, before placing the sleeping creature in its nest nearby.

"The seeds of the Purple Gold Gourd should have been in the hands of that demonic cultivator, but I never expected them to end up in my hands."

Xu Changjun would never give up a treasure he had obtained, especially since it was a relic of the Demonic Path. In his hands, it undoubtedly became compensation for the damage he had caused.

With the matter resolved, Xu Changjun turned around and disappeared into the mountains as if he were invisible.

After returning to his cave, Xu Changjun looked at the purple-gold gourd seed in his hand.

Although this is a descendant of the seven-colored gourd seeds, the immense vitality it contains should be able to grow some powerful gourds.

For many cultivators, this gourd is undoubtedly a magical treasure. If one were to refine it, the immense power it contains would be far beyond what ordinary spiritual treasures can match.

In a sense, this gourd is an acquired treasure, but it inherits certain innate attributes, so its power is greater than that of ordinary spiritual artifacts.

"To grow this purple-gold gourd, you need a suitable area for it to grow!"

After a moment's thought, Xu Changjun came up with a place.

Immediately, Xu Changjun took out the Mountain God Seal, and his body moved through the mountains like a fish. The surrounding cliffs had no effect on him under the influence of the Mountain God Seal.

He traveled all the way and finally arrived at a place shrouded in mist.

The space here is not large, as if it were surrounded by high mountains, a small basin.

Thick fog swirled all around, obscuring the view. In the center of this fog lay a small pool of milky white water, lying there quietly.

"The essence of the mountains, the fountain of life!"

Xu Changjun gazed calmly at the pool of water that contained the power of life.

If he hadn't possessed the Mountain God Seal of Qilian Mountain, which allowed him to explore everything in the entire mountain range, he probably wouldn't have discovered this area containing the Spring of Life.

This place is so well hidden that even those with powerful spiritual energy would never be able to find it.

"This place was originally my resting place, but now that you've appeared, I'll give it to you!"

The Spring of Life is the essence of the entire Qilian Mountains, forming a spring with immense vitality. It is one of the most precious treasures of the tens of thousands of miles of mountains.

If discovered, it will definitely become a treasure to be stolen.

It is a non-renewable resource, and it takes a long time to produce a certain proportion of it.

Having made his decision, Xu Changjun did not hesitate at all. He dug a small hole next to the pool and planted the purple-gold gourd seeds.

In just an instant, the ground where the previously still purple-gold gourd seeds were buried began to shimmer with seven-colored divine light. A rich purple hue surged in the air, combining with the mist to make the space look even more dreamlike.

Before long, a tender bud broke through the ground and emerged. Purple light shimmered on the surface of its leaves.

"Indeed, the Fountain of Life is of great help to it; then you shall make your home here!"

After observing for a moment, Xu Changjun left directly, leaving the purple-gold gourd seeds there with a sense of peace.

This place is extremely secluded; without the blessing of the Mountain God's Seal, he probably wouldn't have been able to find it. Leaving it here, there's nothing to worry about.

……

After returning to his cave, Xu Changjun began to consider the impact of the Heavenly Way Man incident.

This was just an unexpected situation, but it served as a wake-up call for Xu Changjun.

In the vast primordial world, there are many terrifying beings, whether they are ferocious beasts, evil demons, or powerful beings from other races, all of which pose a great threat to the Qilian Mountains.

In particular, unforeseen dangers could bring catastrophic destruction to the Qilian Mountains.

If the celestial being who appeared today were a Golden Immortal cultivator, even with the Mountain God Seal, Xu Changjun wasn't sure if he could deal with such a cultivator.

It's important to understand that there are vast differences between each level of the Immortal Path. Even if one possesses the Mountain God Seal authorized by Heaven and Earth, and can mobilize the power of the entire Qilian Mountains, in the face of absolute strength, the Mountain God's authority is merely an enhancement.

"It seems I still need to continuously increase my strength, and I also need to refine some powerful treasures. Thirdly, I need to establish a preventative system so that even if the enemy invades the Qilian Mountains, I can escape their pursuit by taking cover!"

With this in mind, Xu Changjun began preparations, spending ten years moving the entire Qilian Mountains underground to cover them up.

Centered on the mountain range, a misty array was established. From a distance, the mountain range looked completely ordinary, showing no signs of anything unusual.

In addition, Xu Changjun shortened the time for preaching, holding a preaching conference every twenty years, selecting those animals with spirituality, and bestowing upon them some cultivation methods to guide their practice, enabling them to quickly improve their strength and thus transform into human form.

In addition, Xu Changjun searched the entire Qilian Mountains to find some precious Ganoderma lucidum and herbs, which he used to refine elixirs and accelerate his own cultivation level.

In less than fifty years, through Xu Changjun's efforts, he finally took another step forward and reached the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Moreover, over the course of several decades, Xu Changjun gathered a large number of intelligent beasts centered around the Qilian Mountains and bestowed upon them cultivation techniques and elixirs.

Over a period of fifty years, Xu Changjun trained a considerable number of troops to guard the mountain.

Although the strongest members of the mountain-guarding army have only broken through to the Earth Immortal level, they are numerous and have great potential.

Given enough time, these mountain guards will surely be able to take on the task of protecting the Qilian Mountains.

In recent years, no similar attacks by Tianyin Zhenren have occurred in the entire Qilian Mountains. Clearly, the previous attack was an isolated incident, not a planned or premeditated act.

Of course, Xu Changjun has been most concerned about the growth of the purple gourd over the years. He goes to that valley to observe its growth almost every few years.

Returning to that secluded valley, the small area was now completely covered by gourd vines glowing with purple light, obscuring the sky above and even the mist.

In just a few decades, the gourd vine has grown and sprouted, and seven gourds have even grown on the vine.

Perhaps because of the nourishment from the spring of life, the gourd vines grew very quickly, and the seven gourds that grew were all completely different colors, which corresponded exactly to the seven colors of sunlight.

Buzz!

As Xu Changjun entered, he felt the Seven Treasures Gourd begin to sway slightly. The seven gourds moved automatically without any wind, as if they were trying to express something.

These gourds are innate treasures, full of spirituality. Although they have not yet developed intelligence, for ordinary living beings, these Seven Treasures Gourds are definitely true treasures, exceptionally magical.

"Alright, I've come to see you all!"

Xu Changjun spoke softly, gently stroking the gourds with his life force and spiritual energy. They slowly stopped shaking, as if they were kittens or puppies.

After observing for a while and finding no adverse changes in the Seven Treasures Gourd, Xu Changjun was relieved. He then bid farewell to the gourd and left.

The fact that the Seven Treasures Gourd was growing normally put Xu Changjun's mind at ease.

Over the decades, he has devoted a great deal of effort to this Seven Treasures Gourd, bringing in various precious soils and spiritual waters from different places to promote the rapid growth of the gourd vines.

After leaving the area, Xu Changjun did not return to his cave, but instead carried the Mountain God Seal into a deeper region.

This time, the area he entered was undoubtedly much deeper, directly reaching the underground depths of the Qilian Mountains.

This is a scorching area, with fiery red magma constantly surging and bubbling upwards below.

Within this burning lava, there was a large, completely black banner, with only the tip slightly protruding, making it difficult to see clearly.

"I never imagined that a magical artifact was hidden within this magma!"

"There are obvious signs of human crafting on it. It must have been crafted by a powerful cultivator who then tempered and nurtured it in the magma of this place!"

Xu Changjun discovered this black banner by chance. Its growing environment exceeded his imagination. He only discovered this secret place by chance when he passed through it.
