Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 615 Shocked: Zhou Xun’s strength!

Half a day later, an endless desert came into view.

"This is the quicksand sea. After crossing this place, you can reach the Western Desert Cultivation World!" Lord Leiyu said, pointing to the endless yellow sand ahead.

"With such a natural barrier, it's no wonder that we and the Western Desert are separated into two major regions!" Master Xuan Lei sighed.

Soon, everyone flew to the Quicksand Sea area.

Instantly, a strong sense of heat came over, and even with the protection of the Water Spirit Jade, it could not be completely blocked.

Even in the dozens of feet high sky where they were, strong winds were blowing in their faces.

A blue light shield unconsciously lit up on Zhou Xun's body, isolating him from the outside.
All I could hear was a series of "ding ding" sounds, which was the sound of the strong wind hitting the protective light shield.

"The wind at high altitude is too strong, let's fly close to the ground!" Zhou Xun suggested.

The continuous strong wind attacks consumed their magic power very quickly, and even with their cultivation level in the Nascent Soul stage, they could not bear it.

Everyone followed suit and flew to a height of several feet above the ground.

As they descended, the strong winds from high above were replaced by ordinary winds, which had no effect on them.

Along the way, from time to time, one could see a flying spiritual light. These were the monks who came to the Quicksand Sea to hunt monsters.

Sensing the magical aura from Zhou Xun, these low-level cultivators avoided him as much as possible, fearing that they would collide with them.

"By the way, there is another secret technique that needs a few Taoists to learn together!" At this time, Master Leiyu spoke.

"But that secret technique requires the joint efforts of five of us?" Zhou Xun asked.

"That's right. This technique is not difficult. With our cultivation level, we can master it in a few days!" As he spoke, Master Lei Yu slapped his hand on his waist and took out four jade slips.

He threw one to each of them and gave it to Zhou Xun and the others.

After taking the jade slip, Zhou Xun spread out his spiritual sense and probed into it.

What is recorded here is a magical escape technique called "Thunder Void Escape". After successfully practicing it, one can even cross the void.

Unfortunately, this technique can only be performed at least in the late Nascent Soul stage.

If your cultivation is not at the late Nascent Soul stage, there is a shortcut, which is to gather five Nascent Soul cultivators with thunder attributes and perform this technique together, which can also be successful.

"It turns out to be this secret technique!" Master Xuan Lei exclaimed.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Lei, have you heard of this technique?" asked Master Hongchuan.

"This is one of the top escape techniques of our Thunder Dao, which has long been lost. I didn't expect to see it in the hands of Master Lei Yu today. It's really worth the trip!"

"However, it seems that there is only the first level of this technique here!" Master Xuan Lei said, looking towards Master Lei Yu.

"The Thunder Void Escape is a secret technique passed down by our sect. It cannot be easily disclosed. This time, I had to take it out because I was going to the Thunder Prison to search for treasures."

"If any fellow Taoist is interested in the subsequent part, you can come to me to exchange it after the trip to the Thunder Prison is over!" said Master Leiyu with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Secret arts are hard to come by, let alone such top-level magical powers.

However, judging from the tone of Lord Leiyu, the price to be paid for the exchange must be high. Considering the requirements for the exchange after exploring Leiyu,
He must have set his sights on the gains of the few people in the Thunder Prison.

But this is also an open conspiracy, each side just gets what it needs.

Soon, everyone flew close to the ground while taking the jade slips to comprehend the "Thunder Void Escape".
Just like this, five days passed in a flash.

The deeper they went into the sea of ​​quicksand, the more severe the feeling of heat became, and the stronger the strong winds in the sky became. However, for these Nascent Soul cultivators, it was nothing.

"I have finally fully comprehended this method of escape!" Master Hongchuan said with a wry smile.

He was the last one among the five.

"In that case, we can try to use this 'Thunder Void Escape'!" Lei Yu Zhenjun said happily.

"It's a good opportunity to test the power of this escape technique. It can actually escape into the dimensional void. This is a magical power that most great cultivators cannot perform!" True Lord Xuan Lei nodded.

"Fellow Daoists, listen to my command," Thunder Prison Master glanced at everyone and spoke seriously.
"Five thunders gather together, the void is the guide, the five elements are in harmony, and the universe is broken. Quick!"

As the spell was recited, the five people pinched their fingers at the same time, drawing their own spiritual power towards the center.
"boom--"

Lightning arcs flashed, the power of the void descended, and a faint hole appeared.

Then point towards yourself,
Everyone was immediately covered by a blue-purple light, stepped into the empty cave, and hid inside.

From the outside, the five people flashed with lightning, and then disappeared directly on the spot.

In the dimensional void, the five people can see everything happening in the outside world normally.

"This technique is indeed magical. It can actually hide us in the dimensional void. If we encounter a strong enemy, we can also use this technique to escape instantly!"

"That's right!" Everyone was delighted.
With such magical skills, their journey will be much safer.

So everyone continued to cast a spell and left the dimensional void. When they came out, everyone looked a little unhappy.

They had just cast the spell for a quarter of an hour, but nearly one-fifth of their magic power had been consumed.

"Although this technique is good, it cannot be used frequently as the consumption of mana is too alarming!" Everyone sighed and continued on their journey.

Another seven or eight days passed.

suddenly--

A huge gust of sandstorms was blowing in from the front, covering a wide area.
What was even more surprising was that there was a faint sound of beast roaring coming from this wind and sand, and even Zhou Xun's spiritual sense, which surpassed that of an ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, was unable to penetrate it.

As soon as his consciousness entered the wind and sand, he became drowsy and could only vaguely sense a hundred feet away. The same situation occurred when he probed deeper.

"This is the 'Sand Spirit Beast Group' that is unique to the Quicksand Sea!" Master Lei Yu's face darkened and he continued:
"Sand spirit beasts are vicious monsters that live in groups. Wherever they go, they stir up a huge gust of sand that covers the sky and the sun. The sand can not only block our cultivators' detection, but also...

"Moreover, the yellow sand and strong winds have the miraculous effect of protecting ourselves and trapping enemies, which is very troublesome for us."

"Judging from the range of the sandstorm in front of us, there must be a fourth-level 'Sand Spirit Beast' in it!"

"The range of this sandstorm is so wide that we can't avoid it even if we want to!" said Master Xuanchen solemnly.

"Why don't we use 'Thunder Void Escape' to avoid this sandstorm and come out after it leaves!" Master Hongchuan suggested.

"No, the sandstorm is more than ten thousand feet wide. Who knows how long it will take for him to pass through?"

"And the Thunder Void Escape consumes too much mana. Once we hide, they won't be far away. And we have used up most of our mana."

"Once a fight breaks out, it will probably be even more dangerous!"

"Now that we have five thunder cultivators gathered together, why don't we kill him for a while? I don't believe that we can't defeat a mere evil monster!" said Master Xuan Lei murderously.

"Then let's kill him for a while. The five of us shouldn't be too far away. If things don't work, it won't be too late to use 'Thunder Void Escape'. This way we can attack or defend!" Zhou Xun said.

"it is good!"

This proposal was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
Next, Xuan Lei Zhenjun, a thunder cultivator at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, took the lead, followed by Zhou Xun and the other three, and they charged towards the overwhelming group of 'Sand Spirit Beasts'.

Xuan Lei Zhenjun took the lead and transformed into a giant several feet in size, his body flashing with lightning like the god of thunder.

This is his famous skill - the Mysterious Thunder Body.

He held a lightning whip that was dozens of feet long, and every strike carried a powerful force of lightning!
Every time he swung it, a third-level sand spirit beast died. Zhou Xun followed closely behind, his eyes slightly focused, his expression focused, the spiritual power in his body surging like a surging river.

With a wave of his hand, lightning bolts fell down.

Each one can take the life of a sand spirit beast.

The same went for Master Leiyu and the others. They each used their magical powers of thunder, and with the interweaving of lightning, they created a passage with a diameter of a hundred feet in the endless yellow sand.

The sand spirit beasts seemed to be angered by Zhou Xun's attack and pounced towards them, one after another, as if endless.

Zhou Xun and his companions showed no fear, and moved as fast as lightning among the sand spirit beasts.

With their magical powers, a mere second or third level sand spirit beast posed no threat to them at all, but everyone did not let down their guard.
The spiritual consciousness is restricted in the yellow sand, and no one knows where the fourth-level sand spirit beast is hiding at this time!

at this time,

"Om-"

Two yellow rays of light shot out from the depths of the yellow sand, about ten feet thick, and arrived in front of everyone in an instant.

Then it suddenly dispersed and turned into two yellow halos thousands of feet in size, covering everyone.

At this moment, everyone felt a sense of acquiescence.
The whole person fell to the ground without any warning.

And below, the ground suddenly cracked open, like the mouth of a giant beast opening wide, ready to swallow everyone!

"Oh no! This is 'Gravity Mysterious Light'!" Master Xuan Lei shouted.
Point it towards me, and suddenly there is a flash of lightning.

A lightning shadow that was a hundred feet tall appeared below, with its feet on both sides of the ground and its hands raised to catch Zhou Xun and others who were descending one by one.

At the same time, two yellow shadows came galloping and rushed towards them. They were two fourth-level sand spirit beasts!
"It's the Sand Spirit Beast King!" Thunder Prison Master said hurriedly, and then quickly said:

"Fellow Daoist Hong, Fellow Daoist Xuanchen, the three of us will deal with the one on the left. Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Xuanlei, the other one will be left to you!"

"Okay, no problem!" Everyone responded.
Zhou Xun flipped his palm, and a palm-sized turtle-back shield appeared in his hand.

It was the "Black Turtle Shield" that he had obtained from the secret vault of Zhenhai Fairy City that day.
Injecting magic power, he threw it hard at the Sand Spirit Beast King on the right.
The black tortoise shield swelled in the wind, and in an instant it became several dozen feet in size, blocking the Sand Spirit Beast King.

"boom--"

There was a shocking loud noise, the Black Turtle Shield wailed and flew back, and the Sand Spirit Beast King also retreated hundreds of feet!
"it is good!"

Xuan Lei Zhenjun praised loudly and said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this beast is actually a fourth-level mid-grade beast. I will fight with it for a while, and you will stay on the sidelines and look for an opportunity to attack!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Xun nodded.

I saw Master Xuan Lei clasped his hands together and pointed at himself. Suddenly, the shadow a hundred feet below became solid!

"Snapped!"

With a shake of his left hand, a lightning whip hundreds of feet long appeared and exploded in the void!
Then his figure flashed and turned into a residual shadow. He rushed straight to the front of the Sand Spirit Beast King and pulled it hard. The power was so great that ripples seemed to appear in the space!

The Sand Spirit Beast King was extremely agile. He rolled backwards to avoid the attack and raised his claws.
Two hundred-foot-high stone peaks condensed out of thin air and pressed on the shoulders of the hundred-foot-high Xuan Lei true body. The huge gravity pressed down on him so hard that his legs sank.

At the same time, Zhou Xun flipped his palm and a two-inch long spear appeared in his palm. He pointed a spell and
The lightning spear grew instantly, becoming three feet long, and hovered in front of Zhou Xun.

He stretched out his hand and grasped the spear of lightning in his palm instantly, and a sharp sense came instantly!
Zhou Xun focused his eyes on the Sand Spirit Beast King, ready to strike!
On the other side, Master Xuan Lei was pinned down by two stone peaks, unable to move. He was startled and swung his left hand forward.
"Snapped!"

The thunder whip exploded and turned into an afterimage as it lashed towards the Sand Spirit Beast King!

Sensing the violent power of the thunder whip, the beast king had no intention of taking it head-on. He bounced his legs, stood up straight, and fled backwards.
This happened to expose the weakness of the abdomen.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun's eyes became fierce, and the magic power in his hand surged out. He aimed at the belly of the Sand Spirit Beast King and threw it hard!
A flash of light,
The even light suddenly disappeared,

The next moment, he appeared out of nowhere a few feet in front of the Sand Spirit Beast King.

The Sand Spirit Beast King was horrified and turned his body around, trying to block with his back armor.

However, it's too late!

"Pfft-"

A sound of metal entering flesh was heard, and the sharp edge of the metal penetrated the Sand Spirit Beast's lower jaw and exited from its forehead!

At the same time, Master Xuan Lei's thunder whip also came over.

"Snapped!"

After this fatal blow, the beast died instantly!

At this time, Master Leiyu and others were fighting with another Sand Spirit Beast King. With the help of Zhou Xun and Master Xuanlei, they quickly killed it!

Two sand spirit beast kings were killed, and the remaining beasts quickly split into several groups and fled in all directions.

"This battle is all thanks to Brother Zhou, otherwise we don't know how long we would have been in a stalemate!" said Master Lei Yu.
"Yes, that spear that Brother Zhou just used was truly amazing. It seemed to contain the power of teleportation, traveling through the void, appearing and disappearing mysteriously!"

Master Xuan Lei was amazed again and again. He thought to himself that even if he faced this spear, it would be difficult for him to avoid it.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. I just took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. I don't deserve such praise!" Zhou Xun waved his hands repeatedly.

But it was obvious that Zhou Xun's status in everyone's hearts instantly rose to second, second only to Master Xuan Lei.

Then, everyone began to divide the spoils!

Because of that spear, Zhou Xun was recognized as the one who made the greatest contribution, and he was awarded an inner elixir of the Earth Spirit Beast King and a beast skin.

The harvest is not small!

After packing up the spoils, everyone rested for a while and then continued on their journey.

Seven days later, deep in the quicksand sea, in front of a barren stone mountain, five rays of light descended from the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is the entrance to the Thunder Prison you mentioned. I think it's just an ordinary stone mountain!"

Zhenjun Hongchuan extended his spiritual sense and scanned carefully several times, but did not find anything unusual, so he could not help but ask.

"It's exactly here, but we need to go several thousand feet underground!" said Master Lei Yu, and took out five earth escape talismans.
He distributed them one by one to Zhou Xun and others.

Zhou Xun took it, activated it and stuck it on his body, then fled downwards.

In a moment, a cave several dozen feet in size appeared before everyone's eyes. Lightning flashed in the cave, and there were also illusory auroras flashing.

Seeing this amazing sight, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

"Is this the entrance to the Thunder Prison?"

"Yes, the Thunder Prison is called a forbidden land, but it is actually a small world relying on our human world. In the void tide, it will intersect with our human world every hundred years."

"And this is also our chance to go in!"

"And the 'Thunder Void Escape' is the basis for us to pass through the world barrier and enter the Thunder Prison!"
