Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal
Chapter 570 - 179: Hello, Fairy Jiang!
A month later,
on this day, on a small island in the South Sea, a flash of light emanated from a swirling vortex about a zhang in size,
and a seemingly ordinary young man appeared here.
This was Zhou Xun, transformed into Wang Lin. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Previously, he had gone to the Celestial Profound Secret Realm to deliver the Blood Flame Fruit, nurtured to Tier Four Top-Grade, to his true form.
With this Spirit Medicine, his Spiritual Root talent could be enhanced to eighty-nine points, such talent, even among Celestial Spirit Roots,
was extremely rare.
After all, not everyone possessed talent as heaven-defying as True Monarch Tianci.
Besides that, he also handed over a few Wood Attribute Demon Pills obtained from those ruins in the past to his true form.
These Demon Pills were essential for refining Wood Element Pills,
Unfortunately, Demon Beasts rarely emerged from the Hundred Savage Mountain, encountering a Tier Three High-Grade Demon King was extremely difficult, let alone a Wood Attribute one!
But in the South Sea, it’s different, the ongoing Human-Demon War means there are plenty of Demon Beasts, and the Demon Pills are most abundant.
Of course, there’s also the remaining Profound Cloud Pill,
This Elixir’s efficacy was so potent, his incarnation had personally experienced it, just one pill could save decades if not a century of arduous cultivation, it was an Elixir dearly sought by Core Formation Stage cultivators,
Regrettably, the method of refining this pill, and its materials, have since been lost, only available in few ancient ruins.
Zhou Xun patted his Spirit Beast Bag at his waist,
With a flash of light, the Earth Element Beast flew out,
"Master!"
Feng Chong bowed respectfully.
Looking at the Earth Element Beast in front of him, Zhou Xun pondered. Now, among the few Demon Beasts under his command,
the Earth Element Beast Feng Chong had the highest Cultivation.
Furthermore, having received guidance from Marquis Feng Yu in the past, he was already halfway through the progress of Tier Three High-Grade,
If provided with enough Tier Three High-Grade Earth or Wind Attribute Demon Pills, perhaps within decades he could reach the Tier Three Peak,
By then he could attempt to break through to Tier Four and become a Demon Emperor!
"To have a Tier Four Demon Emperor as a mount would truly be worth this life!" Zhou Xun laughed heartily,
"Depart, return to Celestial Talisman Island!"
"Yes!"
The Earth Element Beast flapped its wings, then transformed into a gust of wind and sped away.
Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on the Earth Element Beast’s back,
With a flip of his hand, a long spear about a chi long, with a full body of bronze color, appeared in his hand,
On the side of the bronze shaft, two characters were inscribed: "Jun Mang."
This treasure was the spoils of war from when Zhou Xun slew the Grand Elder of Celestial Feather Sect; a High-Grade Magical Treasure spear.
This time, when he met with his true form, he also brought it along.
After all, in the Eastern Wilderness, his true form was practically invincible; leaving this treasure there was merely keeping it idle.
It’s better to bring it to his incarnation for use, perhaps it could shine brightly!
After all, this is a High-Grade Magical Treasure, even Nascent Soul cultivators mostly possess only one for defense,
Quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators without substantial wealth still use Middle-Grade Magical Treasures!
If Zhou Xun included this spear, he would have three of them!
Enough to stand proudly among cultivators!
In addition, there is also a set of Tier Three High-Grade Celestial Spirit Talisman Array, his true form also brought it along.
After the first successful attempt back then, Zhou Xun refined all the Tier Three High-Grade Demon Beast Materials he had into Treasure Talismans,
Obtained more than forty sheets,
Just enough to form a Celestial Spirit Talisman Array!
Zhou Xun held the Jun Mang Spear, slowly injecting mana into it,
"Buzz!"
A flash of blue light, the spear instantly floated up, extending to a zhang long!
Surrounding thunder light flickering!
"I didn’t expect it to actually be a Thunder Attribute Magical Treasure, it matches well with me!"
Zhou Xun laughed heartily,
Having the same attribute allows it to unleash even greater power, the Grand Elder of Celestial Feather Sect back then,
Perhaps due to the mismatched attributes, the treasure lay in obscurity, even failing to breach Zhou Xun’s defenses!
If it were a Thunder Cultivator instead, the scene might have been different!
"I searched Celestial Feather Sect’s Secret Vault, the highest grade was only a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, meaning this Jun Mang was the strongest treasure of Celestial Feather Sect,"
"The Purple Sky Thunder Technique I cultivate is also from Celestial Feather Sect, could there be some connection between the two?"
Zhou Xun pondered.
Unfortunately, after much exploration, he discovered nothing, and had no choice but to give up,
"Perhaps this treasure was left by a previous Celestial Feather Sect ancestor who cultivated the Purple Sky Thunder Technique, with no other secrets!"
Thinking about it, Zhou Xun held the spear, pouring mana into it,
Then he aimed at an island below that spanned over ten miles and hurled it with all his might!
"Whoosh!"
The spear soared into the air, expanding to nearly several hundred zhang, surrounded by thunder light, forming a blue-purple spirit light,
It plunged from above the island, into the sea bottom,
A cavern with a diameter of over ten zhang appeared on the island, the surrounding rocks crystallized into glass, incredibly beautiful!
At that moment,
"Boom!"
Thunder light illuminated the sea floor, the entire island exploded instantaneously.
After about a quarter of an hour, everything returned to tranquility, the island that once stood had vanished without a trace,
Only the calm sea remained, as if it never existed!
"The power of this Thunder Spear is truly extraordinary, even a Tier Four Demon Emperor, if careless, might meet a bitter end!"
...
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from here,
two escape lights were fleeing in a sorry state,
behind them, a giant demon beast resembling a sea horse, covered in cyan fish scales, was pursuing swiftly.
"Sister Jiang, I can’t hold on much longer, you should leave me behind!" a young girl said weakly,
her face was pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and by her feet lay a white longsword with its spirit light greatly dimmed,
clearly her lifebound magical treasure was damaged, causing severe injuries to herself!
"Spirit Pearl, if it weren’t for you saving me back then, I would have already perished in the belly of a demon beast, how could I have today?"
"Please, never speak of leaving you behind to escape alone again!"
The other was an icy-cold, extraordinarily beautiful woman, as if a fairy had descended to the mortal world!
"But now my lifebound magical treasure is damaged, I have no strength to fight anymore, staying here would only drag you down,"
"If one of us can escape, you can avenge me in the future!" the girl forced a smile.
"Spirit Pearl, say no more, today we fight to the death, either we live together, or we die together!"
The woman said resolutely,
at this moment, the great demon chasing them from behind opened its mouth,
a semi-transparent blue beam shot towards them!
"Not good!"
The woman’s face changed, with a flip of her hand, she summoned a small golden bowl, tossing it behind her!
With a flash of golden radiant light,
it immediately released a semi-transparent golden shield, enveloping their flying ship within it!
As the shield rose, the blue beam followed closely, striking heavily on the shield,
zzz—
amidst a slight cracking sound, a web of cracks spread across the shield!
However, with the counterforce from the beam, the two women instead pulled further away from the great demon.
But the woman’s expression did not relax, instead it grew more grave.
For this golden bowl was the only defense magical treasure she had left, if it were to be destroyed, they would be at the mercy of their pursuers.
Thinking of this, the woman slapped her waist, retrieving a palm-sized, brilliantly blue talisman,
gazing at this talisman, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes,
in the past, she possessed three such talismans, two of which had already been used, and she had intended to keep this one as a keepsake,
but now, even this one could not be saved!
"If there is a next life, Wanruo wishes to serve by the young master’s side!"
With that, she activated the talisman and threw it fiercely at the demon beast behind!
"Boom!"
A massive burst of electric light exploded, transforming into streaks of thunder light, enveloping the Cyan Qilin Sea Horse!
"Ah!"
The next moment, the sea horse demon let out a series of anguished wails,
"Humans, once I break free, I shall extract your souls!"
"Sister Jiang, the talisman worked, this sea horse is injured, we’re going to win!" the young girl exclaimed with joy, not expecting her Sister Jiang to have such a trump card!
"I hope it works!"
Jiang Wanning was extremely tense as well,
however, what ensued soon disappointed them,
the giant sea horse within the thunder light, despite its pained wails, showed no signs of weakening!
As the talisman’s power diminished, with less and less lightning, the silhouette of a Cyan Qilin Sea Horse over a hundred feet tall was revealed,
though its surface showed faint traces of blood and it appeared disheveled, it had not sustained significant injuries!
"Run!"
With a hand gesture, Jiang Wanning forcibly invigorated the mana within her body, injecting it into the flying ship beneath her feet, and fled into the distance!
"You cannot escape!"
The sea horse great demon pursued relentlessly, had it been adept in the art of flying escape, it would have seized these two human female cultivators long ago!
And so the chase continued for thousands of miles,
Jiang Wanning’s face became ghastly pale, she was gradually unable to sustain herself,
suddenly—
with a stumble, the flying ship became unstable, fortunately, Jiang Wanning reacted quickly, stabilizing the flying ship!
"Sister Jiang, are you alright?"
"It’s nothing!" Jiang Wanning forced a smile, continuing to flee, though her speed was visibly decreasing,
meanwhile, the sea horse great demon behind them drew closer, less than five hundred feet apart!
"Haha, you cannot escape!"
Watching the shadow drawing closer, the two women couldn’t help feeling somewhat hopeless,
"Sister Jiang, it’s my fault for dragging you down!"
"What burden, if there is a next life, let us be true sisters!" With that, Jiang Wanning showed a resolute expression,
forming a hand sign, about to point towards her Dantian,
suddenly,
in the distance, from the horizon, a cyan whirlwind surged towards them,
seeing the whirlwind, Jiang Wanning’s eyes widened in disbelief, overjoyed, she was stunned on the spot!
only to see a giant demon with the head of a tiger and the body of a leopard, with wings on its back, arrive gracefully, its aura of Tier Three High-Grade unmistakable,
causing the sea horse great demon behind to show a look of trepidation!
"Another great demon has come, Sister Jiang, we are truly going to perish here..."
"No... It’s... It’s the young master!" Jiang Wanning’s eyes welled up with tears, overwhelmed with excitement!
At this moment, a powerful divine sense exceeding the Core Formation Stage swept across the scene, then a gentle voice was heard:
"Fairy Jiang, who would’ve thought to encounter you here!"
