Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 863: Chapter 132: The Theory of Divinity Transformation, Selecting Treasures from the Secret Vault! (2)

Zhou Xun used spiritual power as a guide, slowly directing the spatial power from the two Profound Void Crystals,

infusing it into the other crystal!

As a light glimmered, the crystal processing was completed,

and a faint reciprocal connection seemed to emerge between them; thus the Profound Void Crystals were handled!

After finishing this, Zhou Xun carefully put them away, ready to set things up,

and looking at the two high platforms before him, he was extremely satisfied.

With a wave of his hand,

four hundred and eighty meticulously refined Spirit Jade Array Bases flew out,

then, under Zhou Xun’s control, they were arranged one after another according to the array map, finally settling on the left platform.

As Zhou Xun emitted spirit light, the array bases were installed,

next, the most crucial piece, the ”Profound Void Crystal.”

With a wave of his hand, a Profound Void Crystal the size of an adult’s head flew out, settling steadily in the center of the array base,

seeing this, Zhou Xun formed a hand seal and struck at the magic array.

With a faint light passing by, this half of the long-distance teleportation array was completed,

next, once Zhou Xun returned to the Central Continent, he would be able to set the other half, thus completing the whole teleportation array.

After finishing the left one, he also completed the right half, thus completing half of his task.

....

In the core area of the main camp, True Monarch Yama’s cave mansion,

True Monarch Yama and True Monarch Celestial One sat facing each other, with a variety of exquisite delicacies set before them,

”Brother Yu, this Wood Spirit Wine truly has an extraordinary taste, its flavor and spiritual Qi are first-rate, if not for you and I had already reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Stage,”

”this Spirit Wine could probably still aid in our cultivation!”

True Monarch Celestial One remarked contentedly while holding the Spirit Wine.

”Hahaha, this is brewed from Tier Four High-Grade Wood Spirit Bananas, the effect is naturally good. I saved that Jixuan lad’s favored disciple, and he was willing to give me two bottles!” True Monarch Yama laughed heartily.

True Monarch Jixuan, a Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Jiyuan Cultivation Realm on the Xicang Continent, holds immense strength, ranking seventeenth on the Celestial List.

It’s worth knowing that even beings like the Golden Flood Dragon Demon King only rank in at eleven,

which shows the caliber of this ranking.

”By the way, on your outing this time, you managed to kill two Tier Four Middle-Grade Ghost Kings, earning three hundred battle merits. How much more do you need to redeem that ’Spiritual Source Star Marrow Liquid’ with its ten thousand battle merits?” asked True Monarch Celestial One,

”I’ve accumulated over the years, still short by two thousand three!” True Monarch Yama sighed,

this ’Spiritual Source Star Marrow Liquid’ indeed deserves to be the top-ranked treasure in the Battle Merit Exchange Vault, requiring a full ten thousand battle merits,

if calculated by slaying Tier Four High-Grade Ghost Kings, it requires precisely twenty!

Equivalent to twenty Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, in the past Central Continent Cultivation Realm, there were only twelve in total.

Yet considering this item can assist Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators in advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage, it might not seem excessive.

”Among the eleven Great Cultivators in the Central Continent, there’s only a slim chance that Brother Yu might advance to Divinity Transformation!” True Monarch Celestial One said enviously.

Hearing this, True Monarch Yama shook his head,

”How tremendously difficult it is to reach Divinity Transformation. Since the last Ghost Realm invasion, only three have barely advanced, in nearly two thousand years, not a single one has ascended!”

”You must know, during this period, even figures like True Monarch Flaming Sun and Master Wuxin emerged in droves, the likes of which were over fifty, yet still no one advanced!”

”Indeed, how difficult Divinity Transformation is,”

”Every success comes from exceptionally talented and fortunate individuals!” True Monarch Celestial One sighed,

understood where he stood, if True Monarch Yama still had a slim chance,

he knew he had none.

Just then, a streak of fire light flew in from outside, landing in True Monarch Yama’s hand,

after checking it, he was delighted,

”It’s Younger Brother Zhou coming, the teleportation array must be completed!”

Immediately, he waved his hand, emitting a spirit light,

the door then automatically opened inward.

A youth in blue robes, handsome and gentle in demeanor, walked in—none other than Zhou Xun,

”Brother Yu, Brother Gu is here as well!”

”Hahaha, you’ve come at the right time, try out my newly acquired ’Wood Spirit Wine’!” With that, True Monarch Yama personally poured a cup for Zhou Xun,

Zhou Xun quickly stepped forward and took the cup, greeted by a rich aroma of Wood Spirit Qi mixed with the fresh scent of flora and a mellow wine scent.

He immediately took a small sip, the wine flowing into his stomach,

he felt a warm spiritual power slowly dispersing, circulating through his meridians like a gentle stream nourishing the mind, invigorating his spirit.

He then activated the ”Purple Sky Thunder Technique,” turning it into mana, merging it into the Nascent Soul in his dantian,

”This wine is truly wonderful.” Zhou Xun praised immensely, then drank it up in one go.

Just that small sip was equivalent to several days of hard cultivation, and if he drank an entire cup, it would match two months of hard work.

This was still because the wine was of the wood attribute, reducing its effectiveness considerably.

”If Younger Brother enjoys it, take some with you later!” then changing the subject, he asked:

”Is the teleportation array completed?”

”I was just about to tell you, both arrays are completed, just waiting to return to the Central Continent... now that everything is in order, it’s also time to make a trip to the Ghostly Mist.” Zhou Xun said, knowing that his four hundred and ninety-nine battle merits for the ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’ were still unsettled,

even if he received three hundred points for the array setup, he still needed two hundred more,

equivalent to a Tier Four Middle-Grade Ghost King plus a Low-Grade Ghost King’s merit,

if including True Monarch Tianci and Wang Erniu, it would require even more.

”Very well!”

”Then I won’t retain you, but remember, don’t get caught up in battle. If you encounter danger, remember to activate that Jade Talisman!” True Monarch Yama reminded once more,

”Thank you, Daoist Brother!” Zhou Xun then took a small jug of ’Wood Spirit Wine’ and headed towards his cave mansion.

...

”Elder brother’s back, did you set up the teleportation array properly?”

Seeing Zhou Xun return, Wang Erniu was extremely happy,

recently, under True Monarch Nine Swords’ guidance, he felt his Sword Dao had improved. He was now eager to head to the Ghostly Mist Land to hunt the Ghost Race,

for Wang Erniu’s Killing and Slaughter Sword Intent grows most in the midst of slaughter.

”Correct, it’s completed. Next, we’ll head to the Ghostly Mist Land,”

”but before setting out, we need to visit the Minister of War of our Great Jin, for we still have a treasure to collect!”

...

Half an hour later, in a large hall within the camp,

”Greetings, Minister Ji!” Zhou Xun, True Monarch Tianci, and Wang Erniu saluted a resolute elder with slightly gray hair, dressed in cyan battle armor,

”No need for formalities, pavilion masters. Your response to His Majesty’s call occasions admiration in Ji Mou!”

”If our Great Jin had more figures like you, the Ghost Race wouldn’t stand a chance!” the elder chuckled.

”Minister Ji, today we’re here to collect the previously agreed upon treasure before setting off for the Ghostly Mist Land!” Zhou Xun directly stated his intention, avoiding extra pleasantries with the elder.

”Ah, that matter, come with me!” Then the elder led Zhou Xun and the others into a secret vault,

the vault door glimmered with spirit light, clearly with many restrictions set, at a glance, it was Tier Four High-Grade level,

the elder named Ji took out a token, sent forth a spirit light, with which the vault door automatically opened, revealing four rows of shelves, where more than twenty beams of spirit light flashed, all covered with light shields,

”The treasures are all inside; each of you may select one item, but once chosen, there can be no regrets!” He said, handing over a token to all three!

Then Zhou Xun and the two walked in, the restrictions were semi-transparent, effectively blocking divine sense probing,

so assessing the treasures’ worth could only rely on sight, personal vision, and experience.

Zhou Xun looked through one by one,

his eyes emitting cyan light, it was his ’Spirit Rhinoceros Cyan Light Pupil!’

Under this pupil technique, he could faintly sense the treasures’ spirit light within,

”Folding Fan,” ”Small Banner,” ”Small Hill”...

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a double-cone-shaped cyan-black object, from which Zhou Xun faintly sensed a slight presence of thunder light,

”I’ll take this one!”
