Chapter 807 Nascent Soul Transformation Insights, The Opportunity Has Arrived [Please Subscribe]

Feng Yuanjun has condensed the ninth Fire Phoenix Feather, which is a very significant advancement.

According to the classification of the Fire Phoenix clan's bloodline, a Fire Phoenix that has condensed ten or more true Fire Phoenix feathers can be called a True Phoenix!

Under normal circumstances, a true phoenix is ​​at least a sixth-order demon saint.

Therefore, after condensing the ninth Fire Phoenix True Feather, Feng Yuanjun's Fire Phoenix bloodline can be said to have been purified to an extreme.

The condensation of this single Fire Phoenix Feather could very well break through the barrier that prevents her from advancing to the fifth-tier superior demon king, allowing her to cultivate smoothly to the fifth-tier superior level in the future.

At the same time, the condensation of this true phoenix feather also awakened a new innate divine power for her.

This new innate divine power is called the "Heaven and Earth Furnace," and it is an extremely powerful, wide-range offensive divine power.

Once this supernatural power is unleashed, heavenly fire descends from the sky, and earthly fire erupts from the ground. The heavenly fire and earthly fire intertwine, turning heaven and earth into a furnace, possessing the power to burn the sky and boil the sea!

Because this supernatural power is too strong, even with her current cultivation level, Feng Yuanjun is finding it somewhat difficult to use, as it consumes a great deal of her magical power and essence.

Although she had never used this supernatural power, she confidently stated that its power far exceeded that of an ordinary great cultivator's attack and was no less powerful than some great cultivators' ultimate techniques.

Zhou Chun did not doubt this.

After all, the Nine-Feathered Fire Phoenix is ​​almost a legendary existence in the cultivation world. Even if its cultivation level is slightly lower, it is perfectly normal for its strength to exceed that of an ordinary mid-grade fifth-level demon king.

In addition to the new innate divine ability, [Heaven and Earth Furnace], Feng Yuanjun also has the flames transformed from that fifth-grade superior fire seed that she can use.

According to the appraisal of the Heavenly One God, the Holy Flame of the Holy Flame Sect should be a special spiritual fire condensed from three kinds of flames: heavenly fire, earthly fire, and human fire.

Before it was divided, the flame spirit of this sacred fire was even able to mobilize the fire-attribute spiritual energy in the world to amplify and empower itself, just like a Nascent Soul cultivator, and was very close to the laws of fire.

Therefore, it was named "Samadhi Divine Fire" by the Heavenly One God to distinguish it from the famous "Samadhi True Fire".

The divided Samadhi Divine Fire naturally lost the ability to mobilize the power of the Great Law of Fire, but it still possessed the power to burn the heavens and boil the seas, and could absorb the master's power to continue to grow, helping the master to better comprehend the Great Law of Fire.

If Feng Yuanjun can advance to the sixth-tier demon saint in the future, or if she devotes all her efforts to cultivating this [Samadhi Divine Flame] for thousands of years, she can bring it back to the sixth tier!

In conclusion, even without the aid of any magical treasures, Feng Yuanjun can now stand out among her peers and possess the combat power of a great cultivator.

It is said that the phoenix is ​​an auspicious bird, and Zhou Chun felt that there might be some truth to this saying.

Otherwise, why would Feng Yuanjun have benefited from all the great opportunities he encountered after he formed his Nascent Soul?

Such an opportunity and good fortune were not only the envy and jealousy of the spirit pets like the Silver Dragon Lord, but even Zhou Chun himself felt a little envious.

But thinking that the strength of a spirit pet is the strength of one's own, Zhou Chun accepted it calmly.

In the following period, Zhou Chun also studied the cultivation techniques and secret arts that he had copied from the Holy Fire Sect.

As a once holy and powerful sect, the Holy Flame Sect naturally possesses unique skills, supernatural powers, and secret techniques.

Its signature techniques are three: "Sunfire Flowing Fire Scripture", "Burning Heaven Sacred Fire Technique", and "Nine Yang Divine Fire Technique", all of which are top-level techniques that can directly lead to the path of Nascent Soul.

However, it is not easy to cultivate these three techniques. Their difficulty is not much less than Zhou Chun's "Golden Cauldron Profound Technique", especially the "Burning Heaven Sacred Fire Technique". Since the Holy Flame Venerable, no Holy Flame Sect cultivator has formed a Nascent Soul with this technique!

However, according to the records left by Venerable Saint Flame, if someone can cultivate the "Burning Heaven Sacred Fire Technique" to the late Nascent Soul stage, then there is a greater than 30% chance that they can refine that sixth-order sacred fire.

Therefore, even now, there are still many disciples of the Holy Flame Sect who consider themselves extraordinary and risk cultivating the "Burning Heaven Holy Flame Technique" in the hope of becoming the second Holy Flame Venerable!

Unfortunately, these techniques are all fire-attribute techniques, so they are not of much research value to Zhou Chun. However, they would be very beneficial to Feng Yuanjun. Feng Yuanjun could try to cultivate some of the fire-attribute divine abilities and secret techniques recorded on them.

The Holy Fire Cult also possesses several extraordinary supernatural powers and secret techniques.

For example, there is a secret technique called "Spirit Fusion and Flame Devouring Technique" that allows fire-attribute cultivators to use their own true fire as a foundation to fuse and devour other spiritual fires to grow stronger, and also retain and inherit some of the characteristics of other spiritual fires.

That ball of [Samadhi Divine Fire] was created by Venerable Saint Flame using this secret method to fuse heavenly fire, earthly fire, and human fire.

There is also a divine ability called [Fire Virtue Golden Body]. Once successfully cultivated, it can directly increase the cultivation speed of fire-attribute cultivators and the power of other fire-attribute spells and divine abilities, and even enhance mana.

It is said that this supernatural power greatly helped the Holy Flame Venerable in his successful transformation into a deity.

However, this supernatural power is extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring the help of some particularly rare and precious spiritual objects from heaven and earth to possibly master it.

Throughout the ten thousand years of the Holy Fire Sect, only two people have mastered this divine power. One of them reached the late Nascent Soul stage but died on the path to breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage, while the other, because he mastered the divine power too late, eventually passed away in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

After seeing these secret techniques and supernatural abilities, Zhou Chun was extremely envious.

Unfortunately, he was a cultivator of metal-based techniques and had no chance of cultivating these secret techniques and supernatural abilities.

Therefore, it can only be placed in the secret chamber of the family library as an important inheritance, and only Golden Core elders can read it.

However, although Zhou Chun could not cultivate these supernatural powers and secret techniques, there was one thing that was absolutely useful to him: the insights and experiences of the Nascent Soul stage left behind by Venerable Saint Flame!

Such insights into the details of the Nascent Soul stage are generally only possessed by powerful forces like the Holy Fire Sect, which has produced Nascent Soul stage Venerables. Many so-called top forces today do not have such treasures.

This time, thanks to the insights gained from the Holy Flame Venerable from the Holy Flame Sect, forces like the Zhou family, which had never possessed such a foundation, have finally filled this gap.

By reading the insights and experiences left by Venerable Saint Flame regarding the Nascent Soul stage, Zhou Chun discovered that there were indeed many details that required special attention during the process of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

For example, even if one successfully overcomes the "Crimson Tribulation of Vital Energy," their physical body will likely be severely injured by the violent impact of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their magical power will also be greatly depleted.

This is completely different from immediately possessing the magical power of a Nascent Soul cultivator after forming the Nascent Soul stage!

Throughout human history, there have been many exceptionally talented cultivators who successfully passed the "Tribulation of Vital Energy" and the "Tribulation of Inner Demons," but due to insufficient preparation, their physical bodies and magical power were severely damaged, affecting their ability to perform, and they ultimately fell under the Forty-Nine Tribulations!

Therefore, if you want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you need to prepare top-tier healing pills and spiritual items such as the "Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk" that restores mana in advance.

Without the insights left by senior cultivators on the Nascent Soul stage, Zhou Chun would never have known these things, because there is no record of this in any of the various ancient texts.

Other preparations made by Venerable Saint Flame for overcoming the "Crimson of Primordial Qi," as well as the difficulties encountered and solutions during the process, are all mentioned in his insights on the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Zhou Chun couldn't completely copy the cat's actions, he could still gain inspiration from them and make some preparations in advance.

After reading this guide to Nascent Soul cultivation, Zhou Chun gained a great deal. He also stored it in his private treasury. In the future, only Zhou family cultivators who have reached the late Nascent Soul stage will be able to read this document!

He then resumed his normal cultivation practice, continuing to accumulate magical power and comprehend the profound mysteries of the Dao.

Time flies by, and another thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a clear and melodious dragon roar suddenly rang out from inside the Zhou family's mountain gate. Then, the Silver Dragon Lord, who had been cultivating at the bottom of the Thunder Dragon Marsh, could not hide his excitement and flew into the sky, soaring freely.

After another thirty years of arduous cultivation, having consumed the inner core of a fifth-tier [Lightning Water Dragon Beast] and later the [Thunder Grass], he finally advanced to become a mid-grade fifth-tier demon king!

As a result, of Zhou Chun's five demon king spirit pets, only Fushan Jun and Yishan Jun remained at the fifth-order low-grade cultivation level.

The two of them, Lord Fushan, cultivate more slowly due to their race and need more time to mature.

As for Lord Yishan, he has only recently advanced to the fifth-tier demon king and has no inherited cultivation techniques to practice. He is currently exploring how to create a cultivation technique that suits him and slowly accumulating magical power through his talent.

Therefore, without any special opportunities, they probably won't be able to advance to the fifth-tier mid-grade demon king in the short term.

Of course, if we're talking about opportunities, there were some.

As Zhou Chun watched the Silver Dragon Lord frolicking freely in the sky, his gaze couldn't help but drift towards the direction of Misty Immortal Ridge.

If we can kill that Chongxuan Demon King, and obtain its essence core, Fushan Jun will not only be able to advance to the fifth-tier mid-grade demon king, but also save at least several hundred years of cultivation in the future to advance to the fifth-tier high-grade demon king!

Moreover, this Demon King Chongxuan has lived for an unknown amount of time, and his treasures must be numerous. At the very least, the Spirit Eye that produces the [Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk] is something that would make many top-tier powers envious.

But that requires an opportunity!

With Zhou Chun's current strength, even in the Misty Immortal Ridge, he has no fear of the Chongxuan Demon King.

However, defeating the Demon King Chongxuan and killing him are two completely different things, and killing him while keeping his essence core is another matter entirely.

Even if Zhou Chun cultivated all of his demon king spirit pets into fifth-tier high-grade demon kings, it probably still wouldn't be enough to achieve this.

The only solution is to ask a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to take action and kill him with lightning speed!

Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to get a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to kill the Chongxuan Demon King without any apparent reason.

After all, although the human race and the alien race had broken off relations, they still largely adhered to the previous tacit understanding after the truce, and sixth-tier beings would not arbitrarily kill fifth-tier beings of the other side.

However, if Lu Yuanjun was not mistaken, then the Chongxuan Demon King who revived that mysterious spiritual root had already met a righteous end!

Zhou Chun is now waiting for an opportunity, for the Demon King Chongxuan to make the first move against him, and then he will ask Venerable Changchun to kill the other party.

In this way, we can not only silence the alien races, but also complete the task entrusted by Venerable Changchun, and obtain the essence core of the Chongxuan Demon King. It can be said to be a win-win situation!

Soon, the news that Silver Dragon Lord had broken through to the fifth-order mid-grade demon king spread throughout the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, sparking heated discussions among many cultivators.

After the news reached foreign lands, Nascent Soul cultivators and major powers held Zhou Chun in even greater awe.

The cultivation levels of Zhou Chun's several spirit pets are now publicly visible. Three of his demon king spirit pets have successively advanced to the fifth-tier mid-grade demon king. No one can say for sure just how strong he has become.

Without resorting to such a powerful treasure, no human Nascent Soul cultivator should be able to defeat their master and servant. It would not be an exaggeration to call them the number one cultivator among humans!

Considering that the Holy Fire Sect was destroyed in the past, which was also due to the efforts of their master and servants, many Nascent Soul cultivators now speak of Chun Jun Zhenren with great awe!

On this day, Zhou Chunjing was extremely restless and suddenly had the idea of ​​inspecting the land of Yu Kingdom, so he immediately put it into action.

He set off from Kunwu Mountain, and his first stop was Kunwu Market in the Kunwu Mountain range.

When this market town was first opened, only the Zhou family and a few vassal forces set up shops, and the Zhou family was the only one that actually sold various goods.

However, the market has now expanded several times in size, and the flow of people is no less than that of the Hongya Market in Lanzhou, Jingguo, and is even more prosperous.

This is mainly because the Zhou family has placed the sale of spirit beasts in the market, so cultivators who come to Yu Kingdom to buy spirit beasts from the Zhou family can only conduct business in the market.

However, not all the cultivators who come to Kunwu Market now are there for spirit beasts.

Besides spirit beasts, the Zhou family now takes advantage of its extensive resources in the Yu Kingdom to retail various elixirs, magical artifacts, and talismans at prices significantly lower than those of other countries.

Auctions are even held occasionally in the market to sell precious resources such as Foundation Building Pills.

This has led many independent cultivators with some wealth to seek places to settle around Kunwu Market in order to obtain useful intelligence and information in a timely manner.

Because of the Zhou family's formidable reputation, there were almost no robberies or murders within a thousand-mile radius of the Kunwu Mountains, making it safer than the markets and towns of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

After secretly inspecting the market, Zhou Chun then consulted the map and began to inspect various sacred mountains and blessed lands.

Although he didn't pay much attention to family affairs, he knew that as the Zhou family's reputation grew over the years, forces came to rely on them in an endless stream.

The days of getting a share of the Spirit Mountain just for coming to seek refuge are long gone.

To become a vassal of the Zhou family, one must either possess some exceptional skills or undergo rigorous selection and screening processes!

As a result, those cultivation families who seized the opportunity early on and climbed up to them were undoubtedly extremely grateful for their risky actions back then, and very proud of themselves.

Because of Zhou Chun's influence, the Zhou family had a very upright family style and was not very harsh on those affiliated immortal cultivation families. These affiliated families followed the Zhou family in the Yu Kingdom and lived a very comfortable life.

Nowadays, many female cultivators from vassal families have married into the Zhou family, and there are also outstanding disciples who mingle with the Zhou family cultivators. Their relationship with the Zhou family is extremely close, so there is no need to worry about those newcomers threatening their status.

As Zhou Chun patrolled the area, he discovered that most of the spiritual mountains and blessed lands within the Zhou family's jurisdiction already had owners. Only a few exceptionally good or relatively poor spiritual mountains and blessed lands were still under the control of the Zhou family, managed by people sent by the family or by hired servants.

Meanwhile, the towns and villages in the territory of Yu Kingdom have already taken shape.

Within the Zhou family's territory alone, Zhou Chun discovered more than a dozen mortal cities with populations exceeding 100,000, and several smaller cities were built around these cities.

Most of the ordinary people were surnamed Zhou, but many of them were also ordinary members of vassal families.

If any of these mortals are born with spiritual roots, they will undergo bloodline testing. Only those with Zhou family blood will be allowed to enter the Zhou family.

Of course, if someone with a different surname has outstanding spiritual root aptitude and their family fails to detect it in time, they will be directly recruited into the Zhou family for training. In the future, they can become Daoist partners with female cultivators of the Zhou family and can be considered as direct descendants of the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun then went to inspect the territories of the Jin Yue Sect and the Qing Yun Sect.

These two factions' territories have developed quite well. Although they are not as prosperous as the Zhou family's territory, both cultivators and mortals have reached a considerable scale, and the number of disciples in both factions has reached several thousand.

However, since most of their disciples are recruited directly from independent cultivators, their quality varies greatly and cannot compare with those truly ancient and powerful forces.

But this is something that newly established sects must go through. They can only hope that the elite disciples that the sect focuses on cultivating can grow up, and then be replaced layer by layer, creating a virtuous cycle.

For the time being, both sects are still in the stage of diligently practicing internal skills, and do not have the skills or strength to dabble in more things.

The Zhou family's absolute rule over the Yu state was not threatened in any way.

After this tour, Zhou Chun was very satisfied with the thriving state of the Yu Kingdom.

If this continues, in less than three hundred years, the Yu Kingdom will be able to reach the level of prosperity that the Jing Kingdom once was, and truly become a great power of the human race.

Yes, a great power!

Whether in terms of strength in the cultivation world or the size of its territory, the Yu Kingdom possesses the foundation of a great power!

Five Nascent Soul stage cultivators and five fifth-tier demon kings, including one late-stage Nascent Soul stage cultivator and three mid-tier fifth-tier demon kings.

Such overall strength is something that few countries in the entire human cultivation world can match.

In light of this, after returning to his family, Zhou Chun decided to reward Zhou Xinyan, a junior who had devoted so much effort to the family.

At this time, Zhou Xinyan also had a full head of white hair and his lifespan was not long.

Furthermore, he has devoted too much energy to managing his family over the years, and his cultivation has remained stagnant at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

On the contrary, Zhou Zhigan, who was focused on his cultivation, had already broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm by relying on his strong ambition as a sword cultivator.

However, the late stage of the Golden Core realm was Zhou Zhiqian's limit.

After all, his lifespan is not long, and he has not yet comprehended the sword intent, so it is basically impossible for him to transform his core and form a nascent soul.

Therefore, Zhou Xinyan did not feel any regret.

Since no one can form a core or a nascent soul, he can accept a difference of one minor realm in cultivation.

When Zhou Chun saw Zhou Xinyan with her full head of white hair, her original desire to reward him became even stronger.

He first praised Zhou Xinyan's achievements over the years, then changed the subject and asked, "I remember you left behind descendants, right? Among your descendants, are there any worth cultivating?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xinyan was taken aback at first, then understood Zhou Chun's meaning. He immediately replied respectfully with some excitement, "Ancestor, you are wise. My descendants are all mediocre, but I do have a granddaughter with excellent talent. She has already reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm before she is even two hundred years old, and she also has a remarkable skill in talisman making!"

As Zhou Chun's cultivation level increased and his reputation grew, Zhou Xinyan, who used to dare to call him "uncle," now addressed him as "ancestor" just like the other younger generation.

At first, Zhou Chun would tell him not to be polite, but when he saw that he was determined not to change his mind, she let him be.

Upon hearing Zhou Xinyan's words, Zhou Chun nodded and said, "According to you, he is indeed a promising talent."

Having said this, he looked at Zhou Xinyan and said, "Nephew Xinyan, the effort and energy you have devoted to the family over the years will not be overlooked by me or the family. Since your lifespan is now nearing its end, I will transfer your merits to your granddaughter and bestow upon her a [Five Elements Spiritual Fruit]!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xinyan, who was already somewhat excited, immediately bowed repeatedly with great emotion, saying, "Thank you, Ancestor! This junior thanks you on behalf of Chan'er for your generous gift!"

He knew that the Zhou family possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, but he also knew that such a spiritual item could not possibly be offered to clansmen for exchange like an ordinary Core Formation spiritual item.

Therefore, even though he held a very high position in the family and had accumulated a great deal of good deeds, he still only dared to think about it occasionally.

Originally, he was thinking that if all else failed, he would pass away and beg Zhou Chun to see if, in consideration of his many years of hard work in managing the family, Zhou Chun could grant his granddaughter a Five Elements Spirit Fruit as a special favor.

Even if it doesn't work out, Zhou Chun probably won't bother with a junior who's about to die.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chun directly fulfilled his deepest wish, which made him extremely excited and grateful.

In response to his thanks, Zhou Chun simply waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. Now, just stand your post for the family until the very end and train a successor!"

"Yes, this junior will repay the kindness of our ancestor with my life!"

Zhou Xinyan nodded heavily, then stepped back with a sense of relief.

More than thirty years passed quickly, and Zhou Xinyan and Zhou Zhigan both passed away during this period.

The person who succeeded Zhou Xinyan was Zhou Yuanxin, who successfully formed his core after cultivating a third-order thunder dragon!

With the help of ample elixirs, Zhou Xinyuan successfully cultivated to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

On this day, a Golden Core cultivator who had traveled all the way from Liang Kingdom arrived at the Zhou family and presented a visiting card, saying that he was delivering a token to True Person Chun Jun on behalf of a certain senior.

Given the other party's cultivation level, Zhou Yuanxin did not dare to ignore the other party's intentions after learning about them, and immediately passed the message to Zhou Chun.

"Has the opportunity finally arrived?"

Inside the cave, after reading Zhou Yuanxin's message, Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.
