Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 682: Chapter 44: Feng Chong: I Am the Earth Element Ancestor Now!

Zhou Xun lightly opened his eyes, his gaze penetrating the Celestial Secret Cave Mansion, looking towards the familiar island.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past,

”I wonder how Younger Brother Cao and the others are doing!”

...

Meanwhile, on Celestial Talisman Island.

Zheng Wang stood dazedly at the port, watching the giant beast on the horizon.

He was originally a fisherman from the nearby sea region. During a fishing trip, he accidentally rescued a heavily injured Immortal Elder, who was actually a cultivator from the Celestial Talisman Sect,

During the recovery period, this person casually examined Zheng Wang’s body, unexpectedly discovering that,

Zheng Wang was a one-in-a-million Spirit Root Cultivator among mortals, and was thus taken back to the Sect for further testing.

Even more astonishingly,

Zheng Wang not only had a Spiritual Root but also exhibited exceptional talent, with a Wood Spirit Root score of seventy-six,

far surpassing even Luo Yuancheng, Zhou Xun’s disciple.

Several Core Formation Masters of the Celestial Talisman Sect were overjoyed,

With such talent, he could be considered as a Nascent Soul Seed,

and after much deliberation, he was finally accepted under Luo Yuancheng’s tutelage, becoming his first disciple.

The reason was undoubtedly linked to Zhou Xun.

With such talent, coupled with the relationship of being Zhou Xun’s protégé’s disciple, there might truly be a chance to ascend to the Nascent Soul Realm,

Thus, the true rise of the Celestial Talisman Sect began.

That day, Zheng Wang was at the port leading disciples to maintain order, suddenly noticing a giant Demon Beast flying from afar,

Though he had joined the Celestial Talisman Sect for several years, he was already seventeen at the time, with fully developed worldviews,

So upon seeing the massive beast, he couldn’t help but be extremely shocked, his voice trembling as he exclaimed,

”Demon Beast... at least a Tier Three High Grade!”

”Quick... quickly report to Master, a demon... demon beast is attacking the island!”

At this moment,

”Slap——”

A palm landed on the back of his head,

In pain, Zheng Wang couldn’t help but exclaim ’ouch’ and stumbled forward.

”Who?”

He couldn’t help but be furious; ever since becoming Luo Yuancheng’s disciple, no one had dared treat him like this,

He immediately turned back angrily to see who dared be so bold,

Upon seeing, his figure shrank, and his expression became awkward.

”Master... Master, it’s you!”

The person was none other than his master, Luo Yuancheng.

”What Demon Beast, that giant beast is your grandmaster’s Earth Element Ancestor!” Luo Yuancheng replied testily.

This first disciple of his was good in every way, just too overly cautious, perhaps due to his fisherman’s background, always keeping low profile,

Even with a hundred percent strength, he would only show at most ten percent outwardly.

”What, the Earth Element Ancestor!” Zheng Wang’s expression instantly turned joyous,

He had heard many tales of this Earth Element Ancestor from his sect brothers and sisters.

”Let’s go, I’ll take you to see your grandmaster, he would surely be delighted to meet you!”

Saying this, he grabbed Zheng Wang and flew toward the giant beast in the distance,

Meanwhile, one by one, streaks of light rose into the sky from various places around Celestial Talisman Island, all heading towards the Earth Element Beast.

....

Zhou Xun stored away the Celestial Secret Cave Mansion and leapt down from the Earth Element Beast, hovering in the air,

The Earth Element Beast Feng Chong immediately reduced its form in size, obediently following behind him.

Ten Core Formation cultivators descended one after another, standing respectfully to the side.

”Welcome back to the island, True Monarch Wangchuan!”

Master Qianfu Cao Feiyu stood at the forefront, beside him were Wenn Yue, Li Daniu, and Luo Yuancheng,

Further back were the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Celestial Talisman Island,

They all lined up together, under Cao Feiyu’s lead, bowing in salute.

”We are old friends, there’s no need for such formality!”

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, gently raising his hand,

A gentle ascension force lifted everyone up.

Then Zhou Xun walked on air, approaching Cao Feiyu and the others, observing them,

After decades, each of them had made significant progress in their cultivation.

Master Qianfu Cao Feiyu had now reached Middle-Stage Core Formation, and Wenn Yue was at Early-Stage Peak,

It appeared that, in a few more decades, advancing to Middle-Stage would be no problem,

As for Li Daniu, his talent was average, merely fortunate to reach Core Formation Stage, his future potential limited.

The most promising among them was Zhou Xun’s sixth disciple Luo Yuancheng, originally with Earth Spirit Root talent and supported by Zhou Xun,

He might not be guaranteed a Nascent Soul, but reaching Late-Stage Core Formation shouldn’t be an issue.

This was more than enough to dominate the entire Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region.

At this moment, they finally saw Feng Chong behind Zhou Xun, in human form. With their knowledge,

how could they not recognize this as the sign of advancing to Tier Four.

They all promptly offered congratulations:

”Congratulations to Earth Element Ancestor for advancing to Tier Four, achieving the Great Dao!”

”All of you are either friends of the master or sect juniors, there’s no need for such, addressing as Daoist Friends is enough!”

Feng Chong, despite being simple-minded, was a person of intrinsic worth, naturally not arrogating.

Displaying the air of an ancestor in their presence, where would that place Zhou Xun?

”These are all our own people, so let’s listen to Feng Chong!” Zhou Xun cheerfully remarked.

Everyone, hearing this, displayed smiles, the atmosphere relaxed and joyful.

Zhou Xun looked at these familiar faces before him, feeling a myriad of emotions. He recalled the various hardships he had endured in this sea region and now seeing the growth and progress of everyone filled his heart with contentment.

”In these years, how has Celestial Talisman Island fared?” Zhou Xun asked.

Cao Feiyu stepped forward respectfully, ”Daoist Brother, under your protection, True Monarch Iron Mountain has taken good care of us. For over ten years, there hasn’t been a single Tier Three Demon Beast invading the Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region!”

”Due to the stability, many cultivators from surrounding sea regions have migrated here,”
