Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 526: Chapter 135: The Might of Zhou Xun

Zhou Xun flipped his hand,

and the Profound Thunder Sword appeared in his hand,

”Go!”

With a light toss, the Thunder Sword transformed into a bolt of blue-violet sword light, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with the bird-headed, fish-bodied Great Demon at the back.

”Pfft!”

The sword light pierced through the demon’s neck, instantly killing it.

Thus, a Tier Three Low-Grade Demon King met its demise.

Zhou Xun waved his hand, not bothering to tidy up, and directly stored its body in the Storage Bag before continuing his pursuit forward!

Seeing this scene, those remaining Great Demons were scared out of their wits, their glows flickered, and they fled even faster.

The leading Tier Three Great Demon was defeated and fled, causing the Tier One and Two Little Demons under them to collapse instantly, scattering and fleeing in the direction away from Celestial Talisman Island.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Celestial Talisman Sect were overjoyed,

”The Beast Tide is retreating, we have won!”

”Chase them!”

”Don’t let them get away!”

The disciples, full of morale, unhesitatingly chased beyond the Array’s range, grouped in threes and twos, pursued the Demon Beasts, transforming into hunters at this moment,

”These are all cultivation resources!”

Normally, hunting a single Demon Beast was not easy for them.

It required several people working together, setting up an Array, and if lucky, they could catch one after over ten days; if unlucky, several months could pass without any gain.

But now, everywhere they looked, there were all kinds of Demon Beasts, large and small, not to mention that they had lost their courage, only knowing how to flee.

At this moment, they only needed to catch up and wield their Magical Artifacts to gain months of harvest in a single day.

For a time, the entire Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region became a celebration for the Human Race Cultivators.

...

On the other side, Zhou Xun chased after those five Great Demons,

and in no time, killed all but the last one.

At that moment, seven black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance, rapidly approaching in his direction.

He formed a seal with his hands, and his spiritual power condensed into his eyes,

instantly revealing those seven black dots to be, in fact, seven giant Tower Ships.

”Old Cao?”

”Why is he back!”

Zhou Xun instantly recognized that two of the ships belonged to the Celestial Talisman Sect.

On the other side, the scene of Zhou Xun chasing the Demon Beasts was also witnessed by everyone on the deck.

”It’s a Great Demon from the Beast Tide!”

Master Quanji instantly recognized the bird-bodied Great Demon fleeing ahead.

”Are you certain, Daoist Brother, that it is indeed a Great Demon from the Beast Tide?”

”Why would it appear here, it seems to be being chased by someone!”

”Hahaha, it’s my Daoist Brother Wang!” Master Qianfu beamed with joy, having recognized the pursuer at the rear as Zhou Xun from their own Celestial Talisman Sect.

”Wasn’t it said that the Beast Tide would besiege Celestial Talisman Island? How is he able to chase them out?” someone questioned.

”It must be that my Daoist Brother Wang has already crushed the Sea Race, and now he’s in pursuit!” Master Qianfu said with pride, finally at ease after a long period of worry.

”Impossible, my entire Demon Hunting Squad couldn’t even defeat that Ink Flood Dragon, how could Celestial Talisman Island’s sole Daoist Brother Wang withstand so many Great Demons!”

Master Quanji immediately refuted.

He simply couldn’t believe anyone could defeat that Ink Flood Dragon.

”You...” Master Qianfu was about to argue but was interrupted by the collective exclamations of the crowd!

They saw Zhou Xun wielding the Profound Thunder Sword, almost transforming into a bolt of lightning,

the sword light turned, catching up to the bird-bodied Great Demon at lightning speed and instantly killing it.

This scene fell into the eyes of all the cultivators on the seven Tower Ships.

They had to know, that bird-bodied Great Demon was also at the Tier Three Middle-Grade Level, and to be killed so easily as if slicing a melon, exceeded their understanding.

Master Quanji was equally stunned, mouth agape!

That bird-bodied Great Demon was precisely the one that had previously pursued him, forcing him to use his life-saving treasure to escape.

And yet such a formidable Great Demon was slain in just one strike by that ’Daoist Brother Wang’.

”Could it be that what Cao Feiyu said is true!”

Master Quanji couldn’t help but entertain this thought, and the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, unable to shake it off.

”Daoist Quanji, what do you think of my Daoist Brother Wang’s strength?” Cao Feiyu asked with a smile.

”I indeed underestimated the heroes of the world!” Master Quanji sighed in admiration.

”Daoist Cao, who would have thought your Celestial Talisman Sect would have such fortune, to associate with such a talented individual, don’t forget us old friends when you rise to prominence in the future!”

A Core Formation Elder of the Beiyun Sect smiled and cupped his hand.

”Indeed, indeed, Daoist Cao, please introduce us!” The crowd surrounded Cao Feiyu.

Even the envoy from Sea Suppression Immortal City spoke a few words of introduction.

They all knew, a Core Formation Cultivator with such strength had the potential to enter the Nascent Soul Stage in the future.

Even if he doesn’t break through, given his near invincible stance at the Core Formation Stage, he would surely shine in the context of the Human-Demon War.

Moreover, they were not far from Celestial Talisman Island, definitely a strong ally.

”Come, everyone, join me in welcoming this Daoist Brother Wang!”

The group surrounded Master Qianfu and flew off from the Tower Ship to meet Zhou Xun.

”Greetings, Master Wang!”

Upon seeing Zhou Xun, everyone immediately saluted, their attitude exceedingly warm.

This left Zhou Xun puzzled, unsure why they were so enthusiastic. Could it be that the South Sea’s Core Formation Cultivators were all so hospitable?

”You are all too kind!” Zhou Xun returned the salute with cupped hands.

”I have long heard Daoist Cao speak of your capabilities, Daoist Brother, and seeing you today, you exceed even what was said!” The envoy from Sea Suppression Immortal City spoke with a smile.

”And you are?”

”This is Master Gu Ge, the envoy assigned to this sea region by the Immortal City,” Master Qianfu introduced.

”Weren’t you going to conquer Red Dragon Island, why did you return to Celestial Talisman Island?” Zhou Xun queried, puzzled.

”We received news from Master Quanji, hence we returned to provide support!” Master Qianfu said, while also explaining the background of Master Quanji.

”You were also a member of that Demon Hunting Squad, Master Huadu is with us on Celestial Talisman Island now!” Zhou Xun nodded,

”It’s so good that Junior Brother Wang is alright!” Master Quanji breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news.

Previously when they scattered to escape, he was uncertain how many could make it out safely.

Saying this, they boarded the Tower Ship and returned to Celestial Talisman Island.

...

Celestial Talisman Island, Main Hall.

The cultivators gathered, holding a celebratory feast.

It had already been three days since the Beast attack on the island. For the first two days, the disciples of the Celestial Talisman Sect relentlessly pursued the Demon Beasts, chasing them several thousand miles away before stopping upon receiving the order to return.

Even so, nearly ten percent of the disciples were still outside.

This battle brought tremendous gains for the disciples, achieving cultivation resources that would have taken years, or even decades, to accumulate.

At noon, the celebration officially began in the hall.

Zhou Xun, without any reservation, sat at the head seat, as the cultivators had already learned of his achievements from Master Huadu.

Not only did he defeat the invincible Ink Flood Dragon, but he also scared off the Divine Fragment of the South Abyss Demon Emperor.

After a full meal, everyone began discussing serious matters.

”Under the order of True Monarch Qianchuan, I am here to convene the various sects to resist the Sea Race, but since Daoist Brother Wang is present, this commander position naturally belongs to you!”
