Bingling Zhenren's subtle actions naturally did not escape Zhou Chun's notice.

He also understood what the other person was thinking.

As a cultivator from the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Zhou Chun naturally had a connection with it.

Currently, the only cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage in the Heavenly Spirit Realm is True Person Ice Spirit, and the fate of Venerable Yuan Yang, who originally protected this place, is unknown.

Of course, Ice Spirit Master would want to rely on him as a backer so that he could protect the Heavenly Spirit Realm in the future.

Zhou Chun didn't seem to have any aversion to this.

The Heavenly Spirit Realm was indeed his home in this life, and being forced to leave it back then certainly made him feel resentful.

After he refines the Heavenly Treasure and modifies his cultivation technique, he will indeed go there again.

"Father, these three drops of [Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow] were insisted upon being left by True Immortal Ice Spirit. What do you think..."

A short while later, after Zhou Xinyuan saw off the six great cultivators and returned, he immediately took out the [Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow] left behind by True Immortal Bingling and asked Zhou Chun for instructions.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately nodded and said, "I already know about this matter. Give me the item, and then take my token to the Weichen Sect of the Great Zhou Kingdom and ask their Grand Elder to bring people over to help my Zhou family rebuild the mountain-protecting formation!"

"Your son obeys."

Zhou Xinyuan responded and then hurriedly left.

Looking at the [Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow] in his hand, Zhou Chun immediately sent his second Nascent Soul avatar, Ice Nether True Person, over to take the item away.

This thing can be described as a supreme treasure of the ice attribute. The Ice Spirit True Person was able to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm mostly because of this thing.

However, three drops of [Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow] were still too little, and True Immortal Bingming himself had no use for it.

Zhou Chun then prepared to feed this substance to the [Six-Winged Ice Silkworm] to see if it could stimulate these strange insects to undergo mutations.

After dealing with this item, Zhou Chun went to visit Lord Fushan.

During his previous tribulation, he transferred much of the damage he suffered to Lord Fushan, causing Lord Fushan, who was only at the mid-level of the fifth rank, to also suffer severe injuries.

Because he successfully transcended the tribulation, the Great Dao nourished him, and his injuries were quickly healed. However, Lord Fushan did not receive the same treatment.

Although Lord Fushan has survived, it seems he will need at least a hundred years to fully recover!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun decisively fed the over 8,000-year-old [Yellow Dragon Grass] to Lord Fushan, hoping to reduce his recovery time by several decades.

After visiting Lord Fushan, Zhou Chun then examined the treasures that had been damaged during his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

In order to overcome the Fourfold Tribulation, he directly lost two defensive spiritual treasures: the Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield and the Azure Lotus Tribulation Armor.

In addition, he consumed a total of thirty-eight drops of the "Eternal Spirit Milk" during this process!

Furthermore, all the healing elixirs, such as the [Heaven-Mending and Soul-Returning Pill], were also used up.

Among the treasures damaged during the tribulation, the [Qiankun Zhenling Pagoda] was obviously the most severely damaged. Even though he has now advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, it would take at least a hundred years for this treasure to be properly nurtured and restored!

The other [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] and [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword] were also severely damaged and will require a considerable amount of time to recover.

But every loss has its gain.

Although these treasures were severely damaged, they were also baptized by the tribulation lightning. Once they have been nurtured and recovered, they may have a chance to advance further!

Furthermore, with Zhou Chunhua's successful ascension to godhood, the ancient human sacrificial artifact, the "Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar," finally saw hope for its complete restoration.

This treasure had been nurtured by him for over a thousand years, and had absorbed a great deal of spiritual energy from heaven and earth during his Core Formation, Nascent Soul Formation, and Deity Transformation stages, thus regaining many of its supernatural powers.

After he successfully transforms into a deity, this treasure will be nourished by his natal essence, and its recovery speed will be many times faster.

The key point is that after he reached the Divine Transformation stage, the spirit of this treasure no longer remained hidden within him as before, ignoring him completely!

At this moment, Zhou Chun calmed down and focused his mind on the dark blue stone jar. Soon, his consciousness entered a peculiar space.

It was a blue water world that resembled a vast blue sea. After Zhou Chun's consciousness entered this place, he felt his mind and spirit were cleansed, and all kinds of distracting thoughts seemed to be purified at once.

Just as he was carefully observing this blue water world, a water-blue creature resembling a Qilin appeared before him.

Upon seeing the water unicorn, Zhou Chun's spirits immediately lifted, and he took the initiative to ask, "Fellow Daoist, are you the spirit of this [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar]? May I ask your name?"

Upon hearing his question, the water unicorn immediately spoke in human language, saying, "If Master doesn't mind, you can call me Wuhen!"

The voice was ethereal and clear, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

"Traceless, pure water leaves no trace, what a wonderful name!"

Zhou Chun muttered something to himself, then looked at the Water Qilin with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Wuhen, now that you can communicate normally, may I ask if you could tell me about those ancient secrets? I have long been fascinated by the various rumors from ancient times, but now that so much time has passed, many of the rumors have become distorted!"

Upon hearing this, the water unicorn immediately nodded and said, "Since Master is interested in learning about these things, Wuhen is naturally willing to tell Master what he knows. However, Wuhen was seriously injured and lost a lot of his memories. If there is anything inappropriate in my answer, please forgive me, Master."

"It's alright, just answer the questions you know, and don't worry about the ones you don't know."

Zhou Chun waved his hand and immediately asked a question.

From the origin of this [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] to the reason for its eventual destruction, and what supernatural powers it possessed, these were all things that Zhou Chun was most curious about.

Fortunately, the spirit Wuhen has largely retained its complete memories of these issues.

According to the spirit of the artifact, Wuhen, the creator of the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] was a certain immortal who descended to the mortal realm!

However, when this treasure was successfully crafted, it was not a Heavenly Treasure. Therefore, the spirit of the artifact, Wuhen, only knew that the descended immortal was named "Venerable Wuchen".

The person who truly elevated the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] to a Heavenly Treasure was a powerful cultivator of the late Nascent Soul stage, known as "Venerable Jingxuan," who was also a disciple of "Venerable Wuchen."

In ancient times, a hundred races vied for supremacy, and the human race was just one of them.

Among the alien races that were enemies of the human race at that time, there were several powerful alien races whose talents and abilities were extremely vicious. They were most skilled at corrupting the magical power of human cultivators, and even planting restrictions in the souls of human cultivators to enslave them!

For this reason, "Venerable Jingxuan" upgraded the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] to a Heavenly Treasure, giving it the supernatural power to purify all impurities and evil forces.

Under the purifying light of this treasure, any poisonous or malevolent energy will be purified and annihilated, and even evil thoughts and desires can be cleansed and purified!

At that time, "Venerable Jingxuan" used this treasure to save countless human cultivators and mortals, and even used the [Purifying Heaven Divine Water] to help the human race produce countless Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Therefore, this treasure became a divine object of the human race.

Later, when "Venerable Jingxuan" ascended to the upper realm, this treasure was passed on to its third owner, "Venerable Jiuyuan," as a sacrificial object for the human race.

"Nine Yuan Venerable" was also the strongest human in ancient times, and he also ascended to the upper realm after achieving success.

However, after the "Nine Yuan Venerables", the ownership of the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] changed. The "Autumn Moon Venerables" who took over the control of this treasure was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and could not win the support of the people.

Meanwhile, the various alien races seized the opportunity and joined forces to launch a surprise attack on "Venerable Qiuyue," successfully killing him.

The [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] was also severely damaged by the alien race in that battle and was lost.

The spirit's memories stopped at that battle, after which it entered a long period of slumber.

For Zhou Chun now, these ancient events are just something to hear about, and are actually of little use.

However, if the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] were fully restored, it would be of great use to him and the human race.

This treasure not only produces [Purifying Heaven Divine Water], but also possesses powerful purification abilities, capable of purifying various poisonous miasma and even protecting the cultivator's primordial spirit, reducing the danger of transformation!

This treasure has not yet been fully restored, so [Purifying Heaven Divine Water] cannot be produced yet. However, the effects of [Purifying World Holy Water] have been further enhanced.

Judging from its current recovery status, perhaps if Zhou Chun nurtures it for another few hundred years, he may be able to restore the treasure to its complete state.

Upon learning of this, Zhou Chun was naturally very satisfied.

After communicating with the spirit of the artifact, Wuhen, his consciousness withdrew from the purified water space and returned to reality.

Then Zhou Chun took out the blood pill and examined it.

This blood pill contains one-fifth of the essence blood of the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, making it extremely valuable.

As for the purpose of this item, it was obvious that without a doubt, it could only be given to Feng Yuanjun.

"There's no rush to give it to her. We can bestow it upon her after she advances to the fifth-tier superior demon king!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, then carefully put the blood pill away again.

After inspecting all the treasures, Zhou Chun went to the Zhou family cemetery.

He went straight to the center of the clan cemetery, where the graves of Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi, and other most respected elders of the Zhou family were located.

He first offered incense at the graves of his elders, then said softly with a smile, "Ancestors, Grand Uncles, I've come to see you. I've successfully achieved the Nascent Soul stage. I'm sure you'd be happy for me in the afterlife!"

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the tombstone of his Daoist partner, Su Yuzhen, and said softly, "And Yuzhen, your husband has now successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator, and our Heart Connection has also successfully formed its Nascent Soul. If you knew this, you would be happy for us too!"

As he spoke, the smile on his face suddenly stopped, and he let out a long sigh.

Hey--

The long, drawn-out sigh echoed through the ancestral tomb, its sound filled with helplessness.

Even if one successfully transforms into a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is impossible to resurrect those deceased relatives and friends. If there is anything in the world that even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot do, this must be one of them!

Zhou Chun had thought she would have a lot to say to these deceased relatives and friends, but what difference would it make whether she spoke or not at this moment?

The dead cannot be brought back to life. As a dignified Nascent Soul stage Venerable, there is really no need for him to ramble on like a mortal!

In the end, he simply bowed to a few graves and left.

Not long after, at Zhou Chun's invitation, Xuanwei Zhenren, the renowned array master of the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Grand Elder of the Weichen Sect, arrived at the Zhou family in the Yu Kingdom with several of his disciples and more than ten array masters from the Weichen Sect.

The Weichen Sect is renowned for its array formations and is one of the most powerful forces in the cultivation world in terms of array formation inheritance. The famous Tianyuan Immortal City of the Great Zhou Kingdom was designed and built by this sect with great effort.

In the past, if Zhou Chun wanted to invite them to help set up the formation, he might have had to give up his personal favor.

But now, with his decree, the Weichen Sect has made this matter its top priority.

After Zhou Chunhua reached the Nascent Soul stage, he also learned how those Nascent Soul stage cultivators made the spiritual energy concentration of their sects' spiritual grounds far superior to other places.

It's not complicated; it simply involves using great supernatural powers to draw in some minor spiritual veins and integrate them into the spiritual veins of one's own mountain sect.

Only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator capable of controlling the five elements of heaven and earth can accomplish this method of migrating spiritual veins.

However, such methods forcibly interfere with the natural rules of heaven and earth, and even Nascent Soul stage cultivators should not do too much of it, otherwise they may suffer divine retribution!

He invited the cultivators from the Weichen Sect to help set up the formation, intending for them to design and arrange a more powerful formation than the Three Phases Annihilation Formation for the Zhou family, while also assisting him in upgrading his spiritual veins.

And that Master Xuanwei, as expected of a renowned master of array formations, devised a plan after leading a team to survey the area.

"Respectfully requesting Senior Chun Jun, based on your request, I have conducted a survey of the Kunwu Mountains and discovered that the most suitable formation for this location is the [Qian Tian Gui Yuan Formation]. This formation can gather spiritual energy from all directions and encompass a region of a thousand miles. Although it is not known for its offensive or defensive capabilities, it has the effect of stabilizing the universe and differentiating the five elements!"

On Kunwu Peak, True Person Xuanwei bowed to Zhou Chun and respectfully explained her plan.

After listening to his detailed description, Zhou Chun nodded and said, "Then everything will be as Fellow Daoist Xuanwei says."

After finalizing the formation plan, Zhou Chun began to relocate some spiritual veins around the Kunwu Mountains.

Using his mastery of the five elements of heaven and earth, he forcibly guided and drove the spiritual veins toward the Kunwu Mountains, then blocked their path, forcing them to merge into the Kunwu Mountains.

Then, this method was used to guide and adjust the spiritual veins of the Kunwu Mountains, so that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would be more concentrated on Kunwu Peak and the surrounding area.

After driving away and relocating six spiritual veins in succession, Zhou Chun felt a sense of foreboding and knew that he could no longer continue doing this.

Looking back at the places where he had moved the spiritual veins, the once beautiful and lush places were now rife with miasma, birds and beasts died, and even large areas of the vegetation withered and died!

With such terrible consequences, it's no wonder that doing this kind of thing repeatedly will incur divine retribution!

However, with the integration and blessing of six spiritual veins, the concentration of spiritual energy on Kunwu Peak was indeed raised to an extremely high level, no less than that of Tianyi Sect and Yuanyang Temple, which Zhou Chun had visited.

With such a rich spiritual energy environment, it would be difficult for the Zhou family not to produce many talented individuals in the future!

After completing this task, Zhou Chun temporarily bid farewell to his family and headed to the secret mansion where the [Great Roc Soaring Sword] was located.

Tai Geng, the Divine Lord, had already returned to the secret mansion. After Zhou Chun arrived, he immediately followed him into the "Ten Thousand Blade Sword Cave" inside the mansion.

Upon reaching the depths of the Ten Thousand Blade Sword Cave, Zhou Chun quickly spotted the golden longsword stuck in the nine-tiered sword platform.

Looking at the golden longsword, Zhou Chun couldn't help but recall the first time he saw it.

At that time, he had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and was full of vigor. Unexpectedly, he was soon struck by the sword spirit of this sword due to his reckless actions, which caused serious damage to his soul. He had no choice but to leave this place in a hurry.

But now that he has seen the sword again, he has come to subdue it.

Just as Zhou Chun was examining the golden longsword on the nine-tiered sword platform, the sword spirit, which had been dormant, seemed to sense something and woke up on its own.

A golden light suddenly emerged from the golden longsword, transforming into a golden roc.

The golden roc swept its gaze over the two human cultivators in the cave, and soon its eyes fell on Zhou Chun.

He seemed to have no recollection of having once struck Zhou Chun with his sword. After staring at Zhou Chun for a while, he took the initiative to speak: "An unfamiliar human Nascent Soul cultivator, and following the same Metal Path as Tai Geng, are you here to subdue me?"

Seeing that he seemed to have no memory of the past, Zhou Chun naturally did not bring up that embarrassing incident.

He immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist has good eyesight. My Daoist name is Chun Jun, and I am a newly promoted Nascent Soul stage cultivator of the human race."

Upon hearing his answer, the golden roc immediately chimed in, "But you don't seem to be a sword cultivator; I haven't sensed any sword intent emanating from you!"

These words immediately caused Zhou Chun to frown, and he couldn't help but reply, "This shouldn't be a big problem, right? With my cultivation level, if I wanted to comprehend sword intent, I could do it in no time. Besides, whether or not I have sword intent shouldn't affect my ability to control you in battle!"

Unexpectedly, the golden roc shook its head and said, "Although it's not a big problem, I am a flying sword. If the sword master cannot even comprehend the sword intent, it would damage my prestige!"

"That's easy. Fellow Daoist Lingxiao, you can go back with Fellow Daoist Zhou first. Once Fellow Daoist Zhou has comprehended the sword intent, you can formally acknowledge him as your master."

The avatar of the deity Tai Geng finally seized the opportunity to interject and offer his own advice.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly and said, "Senior Tai Geng is absolutely right. If this is all you ask, Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, I can certainly grant your request. I will refine your sword intent and have it recognized as my own after I have comprehended it!"

After hearing their words, the golden roc remained silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Very well, I've long been tired of this quiet and boring life. I'll leave with you then. I hope you won't disappoint me and will give me another chance to drink the blood of my enemies!"

Zhou Chun hadn't expected it to agree so readily, and his face lit up with joy as he quickly assured it, "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Lingxiao, I will certainly not let you perish in my hands!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhou, on achieving your wish and acquiring this precious treasure!"

The avatar of the deity Tai Geng, who was standing to the side, also offered his congratulations with a smile, and then taught Zhou Chun how to retrieve the sword.

The Great Roc Soaring Sword is stuck on the nine-layered sword platform, and is actually sealed. If no one takes it out, it cannot break free on its own.

After all, the Tongtian Lingbao is incredibly powerful. If it were to break out of the Wanren Sword Cave and leave this secret realm, finding it again would be quite difficult.

This is one of the reasons why it agreed to Zhou Chun's request so easily.

At this moment, having received instruction from the incarnation of the Tai Geng God on how to retrieve the sword, Zhou Chun immediately went up to the nine-tiered sword platform and pulled out the golden longsword that was deeply embedded in the platform.

As soon as the longsword was drawn, a joyful eagle's cry emanated from it. The sword shone brightly in Zhou Chun's hands, as if it wanted to find someone to test its power.

It took Zhou Chun a lot of comforting before the sword spirit calmed down.

Then he casually used some spirit gold ore to forge a scabbard, put the golden longsword into the scabbard, and wore it close to his body.

He then cupped his hands in thanks to the avatar of the Divine Lord Tai Geng and said, "Senior Tai Geng, I will return now. Once I have settled down, I will personally visit your cave to express my gratitude!"

"Of course, of course. I will certainly prepare to welcome you with open arms."

Tai Geng, the Divine Lord, returned the greeting with a smile and then personally escorted Zhou Chun out of the secret palace.

After Zhou Chun returned to the Yu Kingdom, he began to focus on comprehending the way of the sword and creating new techniques.

After successfully transforming into a deity, he did not awaken any innate supernatural abilities like when he formed a core or a nascent soul. However, due to the blessing of the power of the Great Dao Laws, the power of any of his past supernatural abilities was greatly enhanced, and they could be used instantly upon a thought.

For cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, nothing is more effective than comprehending the laws of the Great Dao.

As long as one has a deep enough grasp of the laws of the Great Dao, even the most ordinary first-tier low-grade spell can unleash incredibly powerful energy!

Therefore, Zhou Chun is not in a hurry to cultivate any supernatural powers; he only wants to create his own unique cultivation method as soon as possible.

No one can help him with this; he can only try things out gradually based on his own circumstances.

Fortunately, after successfully transforming into a Nascent Soul, he had a long lifespan and no longer needed to worry about being attacked by sixth-level alien experts, giving him ample time to slowly experiment.

While Zhou Chun was meditating on the Great Dao atop Kunwu Peak, news of his successful Nascent Soul transformation spread rapidly throughout the cultivation world of various human nations, and even reached neighboring alien races.

Upon learning of this, the vast majority of human cultivators were naturally overjoyed and happy.

Nascent Soul stage cultivators are the guardians of the human race. The more Nascent Soul stage cultivators there are, the stronger the human race becomes. This is something that benefits all human cultivators!

With a Nascent Soul stage cultivator presiding over the Zhou family, it instantly became a holy land of the human race, revered by all human cultivators.

The terms "powerful family" and "aristocratic clan" were no longer sufficient to describe the Zhou family's status at this time.

The title "celestial race among mortals" is truly befitting the Zhou family's current prestige!

Throughout the past ten thousand years, only the Zhou family has had a Nascent Soul stage cultivator as their leader!

However, not everyone was happy for Zhou Chunhua's attainment of divine Dao. Some of his mortal enemies were filled with immense fear upon hearing the news.

"Why did this happen! Why did he succeed so easily! Heaven is unjust, heaven is unjust!"

Inside the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, True Person Cangyue collapsed to the ground, roaring with fear, resentment, and unwillingness.

His heart was now completely filled with fear.

It's unimaginable what a huge blow, what a devastating blow, Zhou Chunhua's successful ascension to godhood would be for the Moon Wheel Sect!

Centuries had passed, and with the help of Venerable Yuanyang, he had finally managed to regain his footing in the Moon Wheel Sect, filling the newly initiated disciples with confidence in the sect and fading away the humiliation and blows that the Zhou family had once inflicted on the Moon Wheel Sect, giving the sect some signs of a comeback.

But the enemy's progress far exceeded the speed of their sect's revival!

Now, Venerable Yuanyang's fate is unknown, while Zhou Chun has successfully transformed into a deity.

Master Cangyue could not imagine what the Moon Wheel Sect would become in the future!
