Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 810: Chapter 106: A Major Power Across Three Cultivation Realms—Wangchuan Lake

”Spirit Seizing Conference!”

”Re-selecting the Pavilion Master,”

Zhou Xun repeated these words silently in his heart, a wave of emotion rising within him.

He had come to Great Jin for several reasons.

First was to obtain Great Jin’s abundant Cultivation Resources and rapidly raise his Cultivation,

now that the Ghost Realm was invading. Although it was still only in its early stage, according to what was recorded in the Scriptures, there would definitely come a day when that Ghost Realm passage fully opened,

by then,

even Ghost Realm Divinity Transformation cultivators could invade the Human Realm, and that would be the moment of an all-out war between the two realms. At that time, probably no one would be able to stay uninvolved,

therefore, the higher one raised their Cultivation before then, the greater their safety!

Second was to lay groundwork in advance, to prepare ahead of time for the day their Wangchuan Lake lineage stepped into Great Jin.

Now that there was a chance to obtain the position of Pavilion Master over a region, he would be able to rule a whole prefecture by then; how could he possibly miss it?

Having made up his mind, he turned to ask that youth Lin Fei:

”Then do you know the rules of this Spirit Seizing Conference?”

”Rules?” Lin Fei’s eyes widened, and he blurted out instinctively:

”Could it be... could it be that Senior is a True Monarch Nascent Soul?”

Zhou Xun did not respond, his brows knitting as he was about to speak, but the youth was very quick-witted.

Seeing Zhou Xun’s displeased expression, he immediately suppressed his shock, forced himself to focus, and began explaining the rules of the Spirit Seizing Conference.

”If Senior wishes to participate in the Spirit Seizing Conference, you must sign up one year in advance and choose the prefecture you wish to compete for,”

”and there are several conditions for registration as well,”

”First, to ensure that the Pavilion Master’s strength can protect all living beings in the prefecture, one’s Cultivation must be at Nascent Soul Stage or above,”

”Second, to prevent a Pavilion Master from holding office too long and creating a situation where the tail wags the dog, any Cultivator who has previously served as Pavilion Master may not choose a prefecture they have already governed,”

”In the year after registration, the Court will set up several arenas outside the Imperial City,”

”at that time, those who registered for the same prefecture will begin dueling one-on-one, the victor stays, the loser steps down, until only one person remains!”

”However, for the sake of those participating in the selection, all bouts stop short of taking lives—no one may be killed. Otherwise, the candidate’s qualification will be revoked!”

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded in approval and said:

”The Court’s approach is fairly clever; otherwise, if too many High-Tier Cultivators were to fall during the Spirit Seizing Conference, it would certainly arouse the dissatisfaction of the Cultivation Realm toward them!”

He then asked:

”Do you know how many Cultivators signed up for the last Spirit Seizing Conference?”

The youth showed a slightly embarrassed expression at this:

”This junior is merely a Qi Refining Cultivator, I truly don’t know such major matters. I ask Senior’s forgiveness!”

”But according to what they say, basically more than half of the Cultivators will take part in this!”

”The more prosperous a prefecture is, the fiercer the competition!”

Zhou Xun nodded at his words,

with his current strength, even facing a Great Cultivator, he still had the power to fight. Securing a Pavilion Master position should pose no problem.

By then, he could establish a Teleportation Array, and use it as a bridgehead to conduct trade between the two regions, and it might even be possible to establish a Sub-Sect directly here.

In this way, the Cultivators of their Wangchuan Lake would truly have stepped out of the Eastern Wilderness; it should not be long,

before their Wangchuan lineage would grow ever more prosperous and become a force of great weight in the Human Realm.

However, there were still nine years until that Spirit Seizing Conference, so he did not need to be in too much of a hurry. The most pressing matter at the moment,

was still to determine a Dao Field and Cave Mansion here, and then he could immediately connect to the Eastern Wilderness,

besides this,

he also needed to inquire about Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine. Ever since he condensed that stalk of Spirit-Commanding Treasure Reishi,

he no longer had any Spirit Medicine in hand that could be used for Sacrificial Refining.

There was also another matter, and that was the Pill that could aid an Early-Stage Nascent Soul in breaking through to Middle-Stage—the Crossing Pill.

Of course, perhaps Great Jin had other auxiliary Spiritual Objects as well. If he could purchase one or two, he certainly would not refuse.

He then turned his gaze toward Lin Fei,

”Next, you will take me to the place where Cave Mansions are rented!”

”Yes!”

Then, under the youth’s guidance, Zhou Xun controlled the Flying Ship and flew toward the Cave Mansion rental area.

Along the way, the prosperous scene of Jinyang Immortal City became ever more spectacular. The streets were crowded with people like a woven tapestry, and many Cultivators were selecting Magical Treasures, Spirit Medicine, and other items at the roadside stalls,

the items on the stalls were dazzling and varied, radiating lights of all colors. The Spiritual Power fluctuations of Magical Treasures and the refreshing fragrance of Spirit Medicine intertwined, permeating the air.

Very soon, they arrived at the Cave Mansion rental area.

This was a stretch of continuous mountain range, and on every peak Cave Mansions of all sizes had been carved out.

Around these Cave Mansions, various Restrictions had been arranged, flickering faintly with light, displaying different levels of protection.

At the foot of the mountain stood a huge pavilion building, which was the place in charge of Cave Mansion rentals.

Zhou Xun and Lin Fei walked inside, and saw many Jade Tokens arranged in the hall. Each Jade Token was inscribed with information about a Cave Mansion, including its location, size, Restriction strength, and rental price, among other things.

A Cultivator who looked like a Steward came forward. He sized Zhou Xun up, and upon sensing the powerful aura on him, his expression immediately became respectful: ”Senior has come to rent a Cave Mansion, correct? May I ask if Senior has any specific requirements?”

Zhou Xun said, ”I need a rather quiet Cave Mansion, and preferably a large one.”

He would next need to set up a Teleportation Array within the Cave Mansion, so the larger the better.

The Steward Cultivator nodded and bowed slightly as he said, ”Senior, there are a few Cave Mansions over here that meet your requirements.” As he spoke, he picked up a few Jade Tokens and handed them to Zhou Xun,

”The Cave Mansions corresponding to these Jade Tokens are all deep within the mountain range, with natural Spirit Arrays supporting them nearby. Their Restrictions are also at Tier Four Level and should be able to meet Senior’s needs!”
