Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 626: The second demon king’s mount, the immortal body!

Feeling this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel happy.
Obviously, this is a breakthrough in the cultivation of the Earthly Beast, and it is now striving to reach the Demon King realm.

So Zhou Xun no longer had the intention to continue his retreat, and immediately stood up and walked out of the training room.

When he arrived at the Earth Beast's room, Jiang Wanning and the Red Noon Spirit Turtle were already waiting there.
Seeing Zhou Xun coming out, he stepped forward and bowed to him!

"Greetings, Master/Sir!"

"No need to be polite!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand, and then turned his gaze to the direction where the Earth Beast was.

I saw that where the Earth Element Beast was, the spiritual energy was surging and surging like a tide.

The powerful aura caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

Zhou Xun's eyes were full of anticipation.

Once the Diyuan Beast successfully breaks through, he will have a second Demon King mount, and it will be a wind-attributed Demon King, which is best at speed!

Jiang Wanning and Chiwu Linggui also looked ahead nervously. After getting along for many years, they had already regarded Feng Zhong as a good friend!
As time went by, the spiritual energy around the Earth Beast became more and more dense, and the light became more and more dazzling.

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds that spread rapidly like ink, layer upon layer, as if a heavy black mountain was pressing down on everyone's heads.

Purple lightning rolled and roared in the clouds, like violent dragons ready to strike.

"Is this the transformation thunder tribulation?" Jiang Wanning showed a worried look.

According to historical records, it is more difficult for monsters to advance than for human cultivators. Among the third-order peak monsters, only one tenth can successfully survive the transformation thunder tribulation!
It can be said that nine out of ten chances of survival!

As for the Red Noon Spirit Turtle, his eyes were full of complexity, as if he was remembering the scene when he faced the transformation thunder tribulation!
"The wind is strong. Can he make it through?" Jiang Wanning whispered.

“Don’t worry, Feng Zhong is a demon beast with both earth and wind attributes. He has also received guidance from Feng Yuhou, and with the fourth-level inner elixir I gave him, his chances of breaking through have increased by 30 to 40 percent!”

"There will definitely be no problem!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, he took out a command flag and waved it downwards fiercely. The cave formation instantly opened, and streams of pure spiritual energy emerged, enveloping the Fengzhong training room and assisting its advancement.

At the same time, the fluctuation of spiritual energy when the Earth Beast broke through attracted the attention of other cultivators in Zhenhai Immortal City.

Qianchuan Zhenjun was sitting in the Zhenhai Hall at this time. He suddenly felt this strong fluctuation of spiritual energy and was immediately startled:
"This aura... is there a powerful demon beast breaking through?"

Then he made a seal with both hands and pointed towards himself.
His eyes were shining, as if he was performing some kind of pupil technique.
Then he looked towards the source of the fluctuations, overcame many obstacles, and saw that it was Zhou Xun's cave. Then he revealed a look of understanding:

"Could it be that Brother Zhou's cave is his Earth Beast?"

"First there was a fourth-level spirit turtle, and then there was this breakthrough one. Brother Zhou is really lucky!"

"Of course, it's also the good luck of our Zhenhai Immortal City. I will lend him a helping hand!"

As he spoke, he took out a pitch-black token from his waist, slowly injected mana into it, and then pointed it towards the sky.
I saw a magic circle looming, and then the spiritual energy around the fairy city gathered towards the fairy city, and finally poured into Zhou Xun's cave!
This scene naturally attracted Zhou Xun's attention.

"It turned out to be Brother Qianchuan. Looks like I'll owe him another favor!"

On the other side, Lord Yan Mo also noticed this fluctuation, and he smiled:
"Interesting, this Brother Zhou is truly a man of extraordinary luck!"

With a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that many people were rushing to Zhou Xun's cave residence.

With a thought, the whole person suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared outside the cave. After a few flashes, he arrived next to Zhou Xun's cave.

It was the art of teleportation. What was even more amazing was that,
This Lord Yama can actually travel through time in his physical body, which shows how powerful he is now.

"Meet Alliance Leader Yu!"

All the cultivators greeted him one after another.

The expressions they looked at Zhou Xun's cave residence were extremely complicated. Some were envious, some were jealous, some were gloating, and some were eager to make a move.
Zhou Xun also realized that he had become the center of the vortex, so he stood up and walked outside the cave.

Seeing that Yuanying monks were constantly being attracted from afar,

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

If we were not in Zhenhai Fairy City, some people might have taken action!

"Brother Zhou's luck is truly unmatched!"

At this moment, Lord Yama started laughing.

"I've seen Brother Dao!"

Zhou Xun bowed in greeting. How could he not know at this moment that Lord Yama came here to support him? With him here, even if someone wanted to make some small moves, they would probably have to think twice!
"Brother Zhou", "Brother Dao"

Hearing the two addressing each other like this, many people felt a chill in their hearts and put away some of their bad thoughts.

At this time, Tianci Zhenjun, Xuanlei Zhenjun, Jiujian Zhenjun and others also flew over and landed beside Zhou Xun.

"Brother, the noise you made has alarmed the entire city!" Master Xuan Lei glanced at the people around him and joked.

"It's really Zhou Xun's fault. When my spirit beast has completed its breakthrough, I'll invite you Taoist brothers to come into my house and have a chat!" Zhou Xun said to Master Xuan Lei and the others.

"That's how it should be!" Lord Nine Swords laughed.

Seeing that Zhou Xun had such a wide network of contacts, the monks around him all put on friendly smiles and began to congratulate Zhou Xun:

"Congratulations, Brother Zhou, you are about to get a fourth-level demon king as your spirit beast!"

"Sure, sure!" Zhou Xun smiled and bowed in return.
at this time,

Lightning flashed in the sky, reflecting a chilling light, and an extremely powerful thunder calamity began to brew.
At this time, the Earth Beast in the center of the storm seemed to feel the threat of the thunder tribulation. It raised its head, with a trace of solemnity in its eyes.

But there is no way out.
I saw it opened its mouth wide,
A bright yellow ball of light flew out and turned into a translucent rune shield several hundred feet in size, hanging above his head.
at this time,

"Boom——"

The first bolt of lightning came down with a loud bang, like a huge purple sword, striking the Earth Beast with the momentum to destroy everything.

Lightning streaked across the sky, leaving behind a dazzling trail of light that seemed to split the world in two.

The power of this first attack is no less than that of an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Jindan stage!

"This is the demon beast's transformation thunder tribulation. It is indeed mysterious and unusual!" Master Lei Yu's eyes lit up and he used his divine sense to observe carefully.

It seemed as if he wanted to see through the secret of this thunder tribulation.
He is a cultivator with thunder attribute. If he can gain some insights from it, it will naturally be of great help to his future.

Zhou Xun stood aside, looking calm and confident. He watched the Earth Beast stubbornly resisting the thunder tribulation without any worry in his heart.

He knew the strength of the Earth Beast very well, so it would be no problem for him to deal with a simple thunder tribulation.

The Earth Beast roared, a bright light shone from its body, and it flapped its wings.
Four wind scrolls appeared out of nowhere, became hundreds of feet in size, and rushed towards the thunder and lightning!

The lightning and wind collided with each other, emitting a dazzling light, and the powerful impact spread in all directions. The first thunder tribulation was easily resolved!

"It seems that this spirit beast of yours is quite powerful!" Lord Yan Mo praised.
"How can ordinary blood compare to Brother Dao's Thunder Tyrant Bull!"

Zhou Xun said modestly.

That is the real spiritual beast. It is said that the wild bull was born in thunder and lightning and has the potential to be promoted to the fourth-grade upper grade.

The first one was dealt with easily, and soon, the second and third ones followed suit, but were still swept away by the wind.
By the fourth time, it was unstoppable, and the thunder finally fell on the translucent shield!
The lightning struck the shield with a deafening roar.

The shield trembled slightly, but still stubbornly withstood the attack.

The eyes of the Earth Element Beast were solemn. It knew in its heart that as the thunder tribulation continued to intensify, the shield would eventually be unable to withstand it, and the challenges ahead would become even more severe.

When the sixth thunder tribulation came, the shield finally shattered and dissipated in the air.

The seventh thunder tribulation followed, and its power was even greater than before. This time, the lightning turned into a roaring thunder dragon, pouncing at the Earth Beast with its fangs and claws.

The Earth Elemental Beast flapped its wings with difficulty, and a gust of wind whistled out, colliding violently with the lightning column and dissipating in an instant. The remaining lightning fell on the shield, which flashed and shattered in an instant.

Upon seeing this, a look of determination flashed in the eyes of the Earth Beast. It flew up and used its body to resist the thunderstorm!

"Boom!"

The thunder tribulation was like a huge thunder hammer, smashing heavily on the earth beast.

The Diyuan Beast trembled all over, and the scales on its body glowed, resisting the erosion of lightning. It clenched its teeth, endured the pain, and let out an unyielding roar.

The thunder and lightning raged through it, causing its body to tremble and bleed. After a long time, it finally survived successfully!
The eighth thunder tribulation was even more ferocious, as if it would completely destroy the Earth Beast.

The Earth Beast roared, straightened its body, flew into the sky, and took the initiative to face the thunder tribulation.

Lightning struck the Earth Beast, and its body was instantly covered in light.

At the moment of contact, the light was dazzling, as if the whole world was illuminated.

The power of the thunderbolt continued to erode its body.

It kept shaking, the scales on its body broke one after another, and blood was spilling everywhere!

The Earth Elemental Beast roared in pain, its breath decreasing.
Finally I managed to get through it!
But his whole body was bleeding and he was dying!
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Many people in the field have begun to show expressions of gloating, and some are even whispering to each other!

"How can it be so easy to survive the transformation thunder tribulation? You already have a fourth-level spirit beast and you want to have a second one. Even the heavens cannot bear to see this!"

"That's right, the saying that the transformation thunder tribulation will cause 100% death is not said in vain."

At this time, the ninth thunder tribulation had not yet fallen.
But Zhou Xun's eyes became more solemn.
I saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, thunder and lightning constantly interweaving and accumulating, emitting suffocating power.

"This pressure is as strong as a blow from a peak cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage. If you can't withstand it, you'll probably die!"

At this time, the Earth Beast was dying, and it seemed that it was extremely difficult for it to even stand up.

Seeing this, Lord Yama couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

At this time, the ninth thunder tribulation had also ended, turning into a dazzling beam of light, smashing down!
The Earth Beast used all its strength to push upwards.

"boom--"

The lightning exploded instantly, emitting an extremely dazzling light, engulfing the Earth Elemental Beast.
After an unknown amount of time, the lightning finally dissipated, revealing the Earth Element Beast lying on the ground, without any breath.
The body was broken and looked dead, with deep wounds all over it and blood staining the surrounding ground red.

Its scales were shattered to pieces, revealing the burnt flesh inside. Its eyes were closed tightly, without a trace of life.

Zhou Xun's heart sank suddenly.
"Failed again?"

Jiang Wanning even covered her mouth, her eyes slightly red, her body trembling slightly, unable to accept the fact before her.

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle was also stunned. It stared blankly at the Earthly Beast, revealing a feeling of grief for the fox as the rabbit dies!

Lord Yan Mo sighed and prepared to comfort Zhou Xun.
suddenly--

Suddenly, a faint light flashed on the body of the Earth Beast.

Then, the light became brighter and brighter, and the Earth Beast's aura began to slowly recover.

The injuries of the Earth Beast recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The broken scales grew back, the wounds healed, and its aura became stronger and stronger.

It was as if I had experienced a baptism of life and death, living towards death, and finally getting good times after bad times.

Everyone looked at this scene in surprise and couldn't believe their eyes.

"This is... an immortal body!" Lord Yama said in surprise.

It turns out that every time a monster advances, there is a very small chance that it will undergo a transformation, such as purifying its bloodline or acquiring new magical powers.
This immortal body is an extremely powerful one.
It is said that when one reaches the ultimate level, one can be reborn by a drop of blood.

The Thousand Crab Demon King, who had fought Zhou Xun to a draw, had this kind of physique.

Even though Zhou Xun's strength has greatly increased now, if he faces the Thousand Crab Demon King again, it will be easy to defeat it, but he is not sure about killing it.

Now that Feng Zhong has awakened this physique, his future potential has greatly increased. His importance instantly surpassed that of the Red Noon Spirit Turtle under his command.

"Hahaha, congratulations, bro."

"Looking at the entire South Sea monster clan, the only monsters with this kind of physique are the Thousand Crabs of the Nanyuan clan and my Earth Elemental Beast!"

"Even I feel a little jealous!"

Lord Yama said with a smile.

"Brother, you are joking. Why don't we go inside the mansion and have a chat?" Zhou Xun smiled and immediately began to invite everyone.
In the end, except for Yan Mo Zhenjun, Tian Ci Zhenjun and others who were familiar with him, the rest of them declined tactfully.

"What a joke! Do you think I can still see your smug face?"

Those people's eyes were red!
Inviting everyone to the reception room, Zhou Xun immediately bowed to everyone and thanked them:

"Thank you so much for today, brothers. Otherwise, I would be in big trouble. I don't know if Feng Zhong would fail to break through!"

"Although some people have cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, their character is despicable. They forget morality when they see profit and are jealous of others' talents."

"But as long as you are strong enough, they will be like sheep and obey you in every way!"

Lord Yama sneered, revealing a look of resentment. It seemed that he had experienced similar bad things when he was young!

The others all agreed when they heard this!
Then, in the cave, everyone enjoyed the delicious food and wine while exchanging their experiences in cultivating immortals. This lasted for several days.
Then it slowly dissipated.

At this time, the Earth Yuan Beast had consolidated its cultivation and transformed into a human form. It walked out of the gate and walked towards Zhou Xun.
