Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 787: Chapter 94: Secrets of the Human Realm, Shan Xionghai’s Current Situation

Fortunately, this is just a small rift, up until now, only Core Formation stage ghosts have appeared,

they can still handle them.

”Since I’ve already broken through, feel free to direct me from now on, elder brother!”

Then, the two chatted until late at night before dispersing.

...

At the same time, in the West Desert Cultivation Realm.

Inside a large camp, five figures gathered together.

The leading person, with a dignified appearance, wore a fiery red Dao robe, with a palm-sized gourd hanging from the waist, the whole person exuding a wildly unrestrained air,

was the patriarch of the Luoyang Immortal Palace, currently the only Middle-Stage Divinity Transformation cultivator among the human race—Fang Jiuzun.

To his left stood a man in a pitch-black long robe, whose face was slightly pale, exuding an extremely cold aura, the ancestor of the Reincarnation Palace, the Six Paths Demon Monarch.

To the right was a thin, elderly man in a yellow Dao robe, who looked no more than six feet tall, yet exuded an immensely authoritative presence,

as if long accustomed to a high-ranking position.

This person was the ancestor of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty—Ji Wanren.

As for the remaining two, they were Master Yun Ku and the Golden Jade Demon Monarch, whom Zhou Xun had met before.

Six Divinity Transformation cultivators gathered here, all because of the ghostly mist issue.

”Brother Yun, Daoist Jin, you both went to Central Continent to mediate the Human-Demon Races war, it must have been hard work!”

The Luoyang Celestial Monarch Fang Jiuzun slowly spoke.

”It’s all for the Human Realm, what hardship is there!” Master Yun Ku shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Fang Jiuzun nodded, then looked at the black-robed old man:

”Daoist Wuu, how fares the ghostly mist passage on your Reincarnation Continent?”

The Human Realm comprises thirteen continents, of which five suppress the Ghost Realm passages. Currently, the West Desert Cultivation Realm of the Zhongzheng Continent is completely open,

with countless Ghost Race armies pouring out daily,

now occupying one-third of the West Desert Cultivation Realm!

Fortunately, the human race was prepared, thus confining them to this place.

”The ghostly mist passage on my continent is intact, there is no problem, it’s just...”

”Just that the Fengyuan Continent doesn’t seem optimistic, showing signs of breakthrough, with ghostly mist rifts reappearing across Fengyuan Continent,”

”Currently, Daoist Jiang has already gone to handle it!” the elder slowly spoke.

Daoist Jiang is naturally the Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch of Fengyuan Continent, Jiang Taifang of Taixu Temple.

The middle-aged man Zhou Xun met in Fengyuan years ago was this very person.

”With Lord Xiong and Daoist Jiang there, suppressing the Ghost Realm passage shouldn’t be a problem!”

”It seems the only one we need to deal with is this West Desert location!”

Fang Jiuzun slowly said.

There are still two Ghost Realm passages, located on the Luoyang Continent where his Luoyang Immortal Palace is situated,

and the Jinn Country Continent where the Great Jin Dynasty is located.

”Currently, reinforcements from various places are arriving, the command tasks will be entrusted to Daoist Ji!”

Ji Wanren, as the ancestor of the Jinn Dynasty, has extensive experience in leading armies, having led cultivator armies against the Demon Race multiple times, suppressing demons.

”Then leave it to me!” the elder slightly nodded.

Afterwards, they discussed for a long time before slowly dispersing.

Master Yun Ku returned to his tent, only to find a tall, resolute-looking young man sitting inside,

whose skin subtly emitted a faint glow, indicating his extraordinary nature.

”Master, you’re back!”

Seeing Master Yun Ku enter, Shan Xionghai quickly stood up to salute.

This person is Zhou Xun’s childhood friend, Shan Xionghai. (See Volume One, Chapter Five)

Having been taken away by Master Yun Ku, he remained in the Great Jin Dynasty to cultivate, recently brought to the West Desert Cultivation Realm by Master Yun Ku,

to deal with the ghostly mist and temper himself.

Master Yun Ku nodded, came to the young man’s side, and slowly said:

”Xionghai, do you remember how many years it’s been since you left the Eastern Wilderness with me?”

”It’s been over one hundred and ninety years!”

Although he didn’t know why his master was asking this, he responded honestly.

”Over one hundred and ninety years, do you still remember the people and events from then?”

”Is Master referring to someone?” Shan Xionghai asked puzzled.

”Do you remember Zhou Xun?” Master Yun Ku smiled slightly and said.

”Zhou Xun, of course I remember, he’s my brother!” Shan Xionghai said with a touch of nostalgia.

”I saw your brother during my recent visit to Central Continent!” Then, Master Yun Ku briefly recounted Zhou Xun’s deeds.

”What!”

”You mean Brother Xunn has also advanced to Nascent Soul and even defeated the Purple Flood Dragon of the Flood Dragon Race!”

”But... but the Eastern Wilderness supposedly has no Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and one can only cultivate to Core Formation,”

”Moreover, he’s barely two hundred years old, how did he condense Nascent Soul so quickly!”

Shan Xionghai was greatly shocked; his current cultivation was possible only because he was under the tutelage of Master Yun Ku, a Divinity Transformation cultivator,

with such a powerful cultivator’s dedicated support, enabling him to condense Nascent Soul around the age of two hundred,

how Zhou Xun achieved it on his own is puzzling,

not to mention defeating the Purple Flood Dragon,

someone he had engaged in magical combat, and only barely fought to a draw. Now Zhou Xun could actually beat him,

doesn’t that mean,

he is still no match for Brother Xunn,

how could this not astonish him, it took a long while to digest this news,

then he looked at Master Yun Ku and smiled:

”Master, back then I pleaded for you to accept him as a disciple, but you refused, do you regret it now?”

Master Yun Ku sighed at his words, nodded without refuting, and then said:

”Do you want to go back and see?” Master Yun Ku asked.

”Go back?”

Shan Xionghai was first stunned, then revealed a look of surprise:

”Can I really go back?”

”Of course, now that you have also advanced to Nascent Soul, it’s indeed time to go back and take a look!”

”Now the Eastern Wilderness is plagued by the calamity of ghostly mist, and you possess our Buddhist sect’s divine techniques, which can just counter them!”

”Furthermore, this ghost realm’s spiritual mist can only be eradicated by our Buddhist sect’s Demon-Slaying Array!”

”On this journey, you can take the ’Five Elements Demon Suppression Array’, your young brother is now a Tier Four Array Master, this array can be entrusted to him!”

”Yes, Master!” Shan Xionghai could not help but show a hint of joy, suddenly he thought of something and asked:

”Right, Master, can the ’Void Seal’ used to seal the realms’ rift, and the ’Tathagata Seal’ to suppress the Ghost Race, be taught to him?”

”Of course!” Master Yun Ku nodded, and then added,

”However, these two divine techniques are our Buddhist divine techniques, your brother is a Dharma cultivator and may not be able to cultivate them!”

”Brother Xunn has been clever since he was small, you never know!” Shan Xionghai said.

”Alright, you may go!” Master Yun Ku waved his hand.

Shan Xionghai bowed, saluted, and then left the tent, heading towards the nearest teleportation array.

...

Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm,

That day, after Wang Erniu departed, Zhou Xun went to Tianhan City, to True Monarch Iron Mountain’s Cave Mansion,

during this time, both True Monarch Tianci and True Monarch Iron Mountain have returned to their own cave mansions, meanwhile the entire Tianhan City has learned that True Monarch Tianci and True Monarch Iron Mountain did not perish in sitting meditation,

but went out to seek opportunities for Nascent Soul Formation,

now successfully formed Nascent Souls and returned.

”Younger Brother Zhou has arrived!”

Seeing Zhou Xun coming, True Monarch Iron Mountain was very pleased and eagerly welcomed Zhou Xun inside.

”I suppose you’re here for the matter of the War Flying Ship!”

”Daoist Brother’s insight is indeed impressive, it is indeed this matter, how have your studies progressed?” Zhou Xun nodded and asked.

The War Flying Ship, as the pinnacle of Artifact Dao and Array Dao fusion, is extremely powerful,

requiring precise cooperation between a Tier Four Array Master and a Tier Four Refiner to refine it.

”Indeed, the method of refining this flying ship is intricate, even for me it was an eye-opener!”

”I have already completed my studies, having mentally simulated each part dozens of times, now only the actual materials for refining are needed!”

True Monarch Iron Mountain said.

”Great!”

Zhou Xun applauded enthusiastically, then took a storage bag off his waist and handed it over:

”Here are three sets of materials for refining the War Flying Ship, perfect for you, Daoist Brother, to familiarize yourself!”

These were all Zhou Xun’s previous spoils of war, plus the secret treasures from Tianhan City and Wangchuan Lake’s Treasure Vault,

finally gathering a full three sets!

True Monarch Iron Mountain was overjoyed and quickly said:

”Rest assured, Younger Brother, I will definitely refine three flying ships for you!”

As an experienced Tier Four Refiner, he had this confidence.

After all, during the Human-Demon War over these years, many Tier Four materials emerged, many came to him for refining magical treasures as well,

though the time has been short, his experience and skills are by no means inferior!
