Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 340: Chapter 88: The Great Migration of the Eastern Wilderness!

The journey was remarkably smooth.

What surprised Zhou Xun was that the ghost spirits he had initially seen were nowhere to be found.

It seemed as if those ghost spirits had vanished into thin air.

But in a way, this was beneficial, saving him effort.

A month later, Zhou Xun returned to his domain, Wangchuan Lake!

At the lake-bottom cultivation room, his true self and his avatar sat opposite each other.

Zhou Xun began to assess the gains from this trip.

First was the goal of this journey, obtaining the Tier Three Talisman Pen.

Moreover, this talisman pen was a premium among the Tier Three, according to Zhou Xun’s estimation, it would provide an additional advantage when refining Tier Three Low-Grade Talismans.

As the saying goes, ”To do a good job, one must first sharpen his tools!”

With this premium Tier Three Talisman Pen, it greatly aids his refining of Treasure Talismans.

Sometimes, even a slight probability can lead to vastly different outcomes.

For example, previously using the Tier Two Top-Grade Talisman Pen, the effect on mana wasn’t as significant, but he succeeded in refining Quasi-Third Tier Talismans, with not insignificant success rate.

Yet, when it came to the highly demanding Treasure Talismans, he constantly failed, missing by just that small margin.

Moreover, something that satisfied Zhou Xun was that ”Celestial Spirit True Flame Lotus.”

It’s a genuine Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine, even for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, it serves great use.

Especially so for him.

His current Spirit Root Sensitivity is at sixty-five points.

And in his possession, he currently has ten stalks of Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine, and two stalks of Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Medicine,

According to previous experiences, it’s enough to push his spiritual root to the limit of the Earth Spirit Root.

When the time comes, he will enhance this ”Celestial Spirit True Flame Lotus” to Tier Four Top-Grade, then extract its essence and integrate it into himself.

Then, his spiritual root can reach at least eighty points, the legendary Celestial Spirit Root!

A Celestial Spirit Root cultivator, even in the entire Eastern Wilderness, might not appear even once in several centuries.

Such talent is truly outstanding!

The third gain, and the largest.

Was encountering a middle-aged man at the Land of Fengyuan.

Recollecting that middle-aged man’s sudden disappearance, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel amazed!

After returning, he searched scriptures and found some brief words in an extremely ancient booklet.

It is said that after cultivation reaches the Divinity Transformation Stage, cultivators can harness Void Power, spanning thousands of miles in an instant.

The middle-aged man’s method seemed to be the Instant Teleportation Technique after mastering Void Power!

Of course, after the Nascent Soul emergence during the Nascent Soul Stage, one also possesses the ability for instant teleportation, but the range is tiny, merely a few dozen yards.

Yet the man he saw that day was clearly alive, impossible to be a Nascent Soul emerging from a cultivator.

Zhou Xun speculated that the one he encountered was very likely the Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch!

Words spoken by such a powerful cultivator must be taken seriously by Zhou Xun.

”The Eastern Wilderness cannot condense a true Immortal Golden Core, nor break through to Nascent Soul!”

”Those words are likely true!”

”From that elder’s words, it can be inferred that the world isn’t limited to just the Eastern Wilderness; there are other cultivation realms!”

”If I wish to condense a golden core in the future, I must find a path to these other cultivation realms!”

”I wonder if anyone from Eastern Wilderness has ever ventured out!”

”If not, it will be troublesome!”

Zhou Xun furrowed his brows slightly.

Possessing the Spring Condensation Scripture, such magical spell, Zhou Xun doesn’t want truly to halt at Nascent Soul, ultimately exhausting his lifespan and dying from sitting!

”Fortunately, I am only seventy-five now, with over four hundred years of lifespan remaining!”

Zhou Xun’s avatar being at the True Pill Stage, his lifespan essence naturally aligns with the Core Formation Stage, having five hundred years of lifespan!

He has ample time to seek it out!

...

Having finished the assessment, Zhou Xun took out the piece of Quasi-Third Tier Calming Incense remaining from last time and placed it before him.

A light flicker of his finger sent a powerful qi brushing past the tip of the incense, instantly igniting it.

A waft of sandalwood fragrance slowly rose, lingering at his nose.

As the faint sandalwood aroma entered his nasal cavity, a tranquil sensation surged, rushing to the back of his brain.

In an instant, the chaotic thoughts vanished, and he became peaceful.

In this state, Zhou Xun’s six senses heightened to their most sensitive condition.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit rapidly ascended to their peak.

”Now is the moment; success or failure hinges on this!”

Slowly opening his eyes, his gaze remained calm and tranquil.

This was his second attempt at refining the Treasure Talisman, and he held a strong premonition of success

His hand brushed to his waist’s storage bag, sending several spirit lights flying out, landing on the case before him.

A delicate wooden box, with a Quasi-Third Tier Sealing Spirit Talisman affixed on it.

This indicated the treasure within was undoubtedly precious, precisely the treasure talisman paper refined before heading to Fengg Country.

All was refined from Tier Three Great Demon Beast Hide.

Originally it contained forty-one pieces, having used two, now thirty-nine pieces remain!

His Celestial Spirit Talisman Array technique requires at least thirty-six treasure talismans.

This means Zhou Xun has only three chances to fail!

A small lump of Spirit Ink, radiating a subtle aura, recognized as extraordinary, specially crafted for Treasure Talisman refinement, with extremely precious materials.

A talisman pen, its shaft multi-colored, with two engraved glyphs ”Jin Zhu,” made from Tier Three High-Grade Five Spirits Bamboo, exceedingly rare.

This talisman pen was also Zhou Xun’s guarantee for success this time!

A flick of his finger sent a spirit light onto the wooden box, causing the Sealing Spirit Talisman on the box to detach automatically.

He then waved his hand, the wooden box opening on its own, from which a piece of highly spiritual treasure talisman paper flew out, spread before him.

”Jin Zhu, oh Jin Zhu, whether it succeeds today depends on you!”

He then picked up the talisman pen, gently dipped it in Spirit Ink, and began writing on the treasure talisman paper.

With ample experience in refining Quasi-Third Tier Talismans, Zhou Xun moved with utmost stability, without any fluctuations.

The pen moved like a dragon, completing in one continuous stroke,

The spiritual energy circuit instantly connected!

Next, Zhou Xun turned his gaze to the semi-finished Treasure Talisman he had just crafted, fearing any potential issues.

Because last time at this step, there was a problem. The Spiritual Power was impure, leading to a conflict, which then spontaneously combusted and was destroyed.

After waiting for a few breaths, the Treasure Talisman showed no changes.

Zhou Xun was delighted in his heart.

He knew that this time, he succeeded!

Of course, it was not completed yet!

Immediately, Zhou Xun followed the method recorded on the Treasure Talisman inheritance Jade Scroll, forming a spell with his hands, sending rays of Spirit Light towards the semi-finished Treasure Talisman.

Under the influence of these spells, the Treasure Talisman instantly settled, becoming ordinary.

Then, Zhou Xun switched to the peculiar spell of the Nurtured Talisman Technique, cast it onto the Treasure Talisman.

At this point, the Tier Three Low-Grade Treasure Talisman was finally refined.

Next, it was time to incorporate it into his Dantian, using his Mana to nurture it.

After waiting a few years, it will be ready for use!

Having refined this Treasure Talisman, Zhou Xun sat down to adjust his breathing.

After all, Talisman Making is not an easy task, especially at the Tier Three Low-Grade level, which consumes more energy and spirit!

Half a day later, following the same process, Zhou Xun took out another piece of Treasure Talisman Paper and began refining a second one.

As time passed, Zhou Xun grew more proficient in refining.

The quantity of Treasure Talismans steadily increased!

After a month,

all thirty-nine pieces of Talisman Paper were used, resulting in thirty-eight finished Treasure Talismans.

Zhou Xun incorporated all these Treasure Talismans into his body, starting to nurture them with Mana.

A few years later, he would gain another late-stage technique!

...

In Jingxin Pavilion, Zhou Xun lazily lounged on a deck chair.

Holding a scroll of Scripture in his hand.

That day, after returning, he found Weih Qiuxin and instructed him to search for Scriptures concerning the past thousands of years in Eastern Wilderness.

Hoping to find out what exactly happened to Eastern Wilderness back then.

Why did the originally prosperous Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm seemingly suddenly decline!

So much so that now not even a single Nascent Soul Cultivator can be found!

Even achieving a breakthrough is a luxury!

Meanwhile, he also hopes to find a way to leave here!

For a cultivator like him with such talent, Eastern Wilderness is like a cage, firmly trapping them here!

”Eastern Wilderness Great Migration!”

Zhou Xun recited these few words.

The Jade Scroll in his hand described a great migration that occurred in Eastern Wilderness several thousand years ago.

All the slightly larger sects left Eastern Wilderness, only leaving behind some cultivators with insufficient aptitude and limited lifespan.

”That means the sects in Eastern Wilderness with a lineage of over six thousand years are those left behind after the migration!”

”Their sects should have records of that migration!”

”It seems that in the future, I will have to visit these sects to see for myself!”

Then, Zhou Xun picked up another Jade Scroll to continue studying.

Suddenly, a fluctuation of Mana came from not too far away, alerting Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun scanned with his Divine Thought, everything became clear to him!

It turned out the Profound Armor Armadillo was about to break through, after dozens of years, it was finally reaching Tier Two High-Grade!

Zhou Xun simply put down the Jade Scroll in his hand, instantly teleported to the Beast Cage!

Song Yiqing had already arrived!

”My husband, it seems Xiaojia is about to break through to Tier Two High-Grade!”

Seven or eight zhang-sized Profound Armor Armadillo curled into a ball, its back armor wrapping its whole body together.

”Haha, it seems it was stimulated by Xiaojin!”

Three years ago, the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp advanced again, reaching Tier Two Middle-Grade, and at that time the Profound Armor Armadillo was at the same realm.

Perhaps because of this, the Profound Armor Armadillo felt pressured.

After all, it was the leader among several demon beasts before!

Being caught up by a newcomer beast, naturally, it was unwilling.

Thus began its diligent cultivation!

After a while, a powerful suction force seemed to emerge from the Profound Armor Armadillo, quickly gathering a large amount of Spiritual Qi towards it.

And with a trend of intensifying.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun naturally knew the Profound Armor Armadillo had reached the critical stage of advancement.

Without hesitation, he slapped his Storage Bag, taking out the Array Flag controlling the Wangchuan Lake Array.

After injecting Mana, he swung it down heavily.

Instantly, the winds and clouds changed color.

The Spiritual Qi within a few hundred li range of Wangchuan Lake seemed to be guided by something, rushing towards Zhou Xun’s location.

At the same time, the Spiritual Qi outside the array also began to move towards Wangchuan Lake.

Thus, visibly, the concentration of Spiritual Qi around the Profound Armor Armadillo rapidly increased.

Tier Two Low-Grade, Tier Two Middle-Grade, Tier Two High-Grade...

With Zhou Xun’s help, the Spiritual Qi formed a vortex of over a dozen zhang in size, pouring over the Profound Armor Armadillo.

At the same time, the aura of the Profound Armor Armadillo continuously rose, its Demonic Power rapidly increasing.

Until it reached a certain critical point, it stopped.

But the Spiritual Qi continued to pour in.

This was the final threshold for the Profound Armor Armadillo’s breakthrough.

Like a dam, blocking the way ahead.

These Spiritual Qi like water, continuously pouring in, accumulating, waiting for the final outburst.

Finally, at a certain moment, the barrier could no longer hold, everything suddenly became clear!

The aura of the Profound Armor Armadillo abruptly surged.

”Tier Two High-Grade, breakthrough achieved!”
