Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 853: Chapter 127: Return to the Central Continent, Blood Demon Child’s Mutation! (Part 2)

”Yes, Spirit Turtle Red Noon/Feng Chong is at your command!” The two beasts rejoiced.

At that moment, a graceful figure hurriedly arrived on the stone step path; it was Jiang Wanning, whom Zhou Xun hadn’t seen for many years.

”Master, we will take our leave!” The two beasts wisely retreated.

”Greetings, Young Master!” Jiang Wanning came before Zhou Xun and bowed slightly.

”Wanning, you have managed Wangchuan Island very well,” Zhou Xun said with satisfaction.

”To earn Young Master’s praise is all I desire!” Jiang Wanning replied with a smile.

As they chatted, the two of them took seats in the pavilion in the courtyard.

”It has been years since we last met. I see your cultivation has already reached Peak Core Formation. Do you have plans to advance to Nascent Soul anytime soon?” Zhou Xun scanned her with his Divine Sense, seeing her entire situation clearly.

”My talent is ordinary, and I heavily relied on the assistance of your spiritual objects to reach the Peak Core Formation. However, my mental state is lacking,”

”I plan to consolidate for a few more years before considering the Nascent Soul matter!” Jiang Wanning contemplated for a moment before responding.

”That works!”

”The Nascent Soul Formation Three Gates are difficult at every stage. You haven’t had much experience, and your mental state has shortcomings, which might cause instability during the Heart Demon Tribulation. Allowing some years for consolidation is a prudent choice!”

”However, I will soon be heading to the West Desert to hunt the Ghost Race, and I’m unsure of when I will return. I fear delaying your chance for Nascent Soul formation, so I will give you this Nascent Soul Pill in advance,”

”Once you feel ready for a breakthrough, you can attempt to form your Nascent Soul!”

With that, Zhou Xun waved his hand, and with a flash of light,

a cyan Jade Bottle floated in front of Jiang Wanning.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Jiang Wanning’s eyes. She took the Jade Bottle with both hands,

carefully placed it into her Storage Bag,

and expressed her gratitude:

”Thank you, Young Master!”

Originally, she was able to break through to Late-Stage Core Formation, accomplishing her dream on the path of cultivation,

but unexpectedly now she had reached Peak Core Formation,

and even received this Nascent Soul Pill, making her only a step away from Nascent Soul!

”Wanning will definitely give her all to succeed and not disappoint Young Master’s expectations!”

Afterwards, Zhou Xun stayed at Wangchuan Island for several days.

...

Five days later, a red spirit light soared from Wangchuan Island, rushing towards the distance.

If one were to view from a high place,

they would see a crimson giant turtle several hundred zhang in size, carrying a Cave Mansion, traveling through the air.

This was naturally Zhou Xun and Spirit Turtle Red Noon,

This time the destination was naturally the Four Yin Land,

Previously, he had refined True Monarch Yuangu into Blood Demon Child and buried him here, nurturing him with Yin Qi.

The Cave Mansion on the turtle’s back was undoubtedly Zhou Xun’s Celestial Secret Mansion.

Now that the Four Yin Land was within the Human Race’s territory, there was no need to worry about demon beast attacks along the way,

In the Celestial Secret Mansion, the cultivation room,

Zhou Xun sat upright on the cushion,

He waved his hand and took out Su Yu’s physical body,

The next goal was naturally to refine his body into Blood Demon Child, preparing to refine Tier Four Blood Demon Crystal.

The previous attempt on True Monarch Yuangu had been very successful, giving him confidence.

Looking at the corpse,

Zhou Xun clasped his hands to form a spell, murmuring incantations as he followed the spell from the Blood Demon Scripture to force out a drop of Essence Blood.

He directed it toward Su Yu’s physical body.

The Essence Blood transformed into a peculiar Blood Talisman, landing on Su Yu’s forehead,

slowly merging in,

and soon, a faint blood light began to emanate from within Su Yu.

However, very soon, an invisible Yin Soul Power surged out of Su Yu’s body, attacking Zhou Xun.

This was Su Yu’s Divine Soul Power, after all, Su Yu had only been sealed and not directly killed. This precaution,

was to avoid any secret techniques from Luoyang Immortal Sect that might trace the killer.

It’s known that when he first arrived at the Central Continent, he was hunted by True Monarch of Profound Control due to suffering such a secret technique!

Zhou Xun patted his hand, and the Cyan Ape Banner appeared in his hand.

With a gentle wave, a cyan light flew out, landing on the ground, transforming into a monkey over a zhang tall,

It was the Soul-Devouring Beast Cyan Ape!

The Cyan Ape at this moment had fur that was impressively bright, emitting a faint golden light, significantly enhanced from before.

The Cyan Ape, as soon as it appeared, revealed an expression of extreme excitement.

It hammered its nose several times, a misty gray light instantly enveloping Su Yu’s corpse, and then an incomplete Divine Soul phantom was extracted,

appearing in the gray light, struggling.

Then, without any obstruction, it was inhaled by the Cyan Ape,

which patted its belly, revealing a satisfied expression,

”It seems the Residual Soul of a Middle-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator is also a great supplement for it!”

After finishing these tasks, Zhou Xun waved the Small Banner, and the Cyan Ape returned inside once more.

Zhou Xun then set his gaze upon the corpse of Su Yu in front of him.

Without the entanglement of the Residual Soul, the subsequent procedures were very smooth.

Half a day later, a faint connection emerged from the corpse, indicating that the Blood Demon Child was preliminarily refined and only needed nurturing at the Four Yin Land.

”Red Noon, how much farther?”

”Reporting to the master, we shall arrive in five more days!”

Thus, after another five days, he finally reached his destination,

The sky above was cloudless, but the air was inexplicably filled with a chilling atmosphere, extremely dissonant,

Zhou Xun waved his hand, casting a spell in the air,

then ripples appeared out of thin air, revealing a human-height entrance there!

Zhou Xun stepped inside,

and pitch-black Yin Qi instantly assaulted him.

Zhou Xun’s expression did not change, he formed a spell seal with one hand, and Mana surged around him, enveloping him in a blue shimmering transparent light shield,

Zizz—

Arcs of Thunder flashed, blocking all the Yin Qi outside,

Soon, Zhou Xun reached the place where he had buried the Blood Demon Child,

Suddenly, Zhou Xun’s expression changed, and he clenched his right fist, striking forward fiercely,

”Boom!”

A sound of collision came forth,

Zhou Xun felt like he had punched a humanoid creature,

Immediately, Mana condensed into his eyes, emitting a faint Cyan Light, and the dark scene before him suddenly became clear, showcasing his ”Spirit Rhinoceros Cyan Light Pupil” technique.

A hundred feet in front of him was a figure about a yard in size, completely blood-red, with black runes engraved on its face, its body covered with coin-sized scales, like donning Battle Armor!

It was precisely the Blood Demon Child he had previously buried underground, now it should be called the Blood Demon General.

”How dare you, attempting to devour your master!”

Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, arcs of Thunder appeared in his hand,

”Hehehe, mere Human Race, how dare you imprison me, today you will have no return!” The Blood Demon General sneered coldly, flashing with Red Light,

Two blood-colored chains condensed mid-air, sweeping towards Zhou Xun!

”Petty trick!”

Zhou Xun waved his hand, the Profound Thunder Sword appeared in his palm, he pointed forward, and the Thunder Sword shot out, flashing with Thunder Light,

Clearing away the surrounding Yin Qi,

Then it heavily slashed onto the two chains, instantly shattering them!

The Blood Demon General was greatly shocked upon seeing this, urgently fleeing towards the gap in the array!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun controlled the Thunder Sword to fly high, aiming at the Blood Demon General’s head, ready to strike and kill,

But at the moment of action, he halted.

”No, the consequences of slaying him are minor, but destroying my refining of the Blood Demon Crystal would be too costly!”

So he softly commanded,

”Feng Chong, Red Noon, intercept him for me!”

”Yes!”

Soon after, two Spirit Lights blocked the exit, employing various techniques,

The wind swirled, and a Fire Dragon attacked from left and right,

The Blood Demon General was greatly startled, turned around and fled again.

Watching the constantly fleeing figure, Zhou Xun snorted coldly, and tapped his Storage Bag at the waist,

A Cyan Light flew out, transforming into a ring that was entirely cyan-black in color,

It was the spoils after defeating the ”True Monarch of Profound Control” back then, the Spirit Locking Ring, and in the last Spirit Seizing Conference, Zhou Xun captured the White Bone Flying Corpse with this ring.

”Rise!”

Zhou Xun cast a spell,

The ring expanded with the wind, transforming into nearly a hundred feet in size, its surface floated with golden runes, constantly fluttering!

And then he set his gaze upon the Profound Bone King, softly uttering ”Trap”,

The ring transformed into a stream of light,

Appearing in an instant above the Blood Demon General’s head, entrapping it inside.

After finishing these actions, Zhou Xun’s figure flickered,

Appearing before the Blood Demon General,

Casting one spell after another, instantly sealing it.
