Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 676: The first meeting of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation Association!
There are still 17 ghost fog areas in the Eastern Wasteland that have not been dealt with yet.

At present, ghosts are constantly spreading out from inside and attacking the territories of human monks. Many areas have become ghost areas.

Although Zhou Xun is very strong, two fists cannot defeat four hands.

Being able to keep the core area under his command is already considered good.

But in order to solve all the problems, we must concentrate the power of the entire Eastern Wilderness.

"Master, what you said is very true,"

"Right now, only the sects near those ghost fog areas are fighting with all their might, while other sects are just sitting on the sidelines and watching."

"If this continues, the area occupied by the ghost fog will become larger and larger, and eventually no one will be able to escape it!" Xu Shaoqing nodded.

“If the island master takes the lead, there should be no problem with this cultivator alliance!” Wei Qiuxin said.

"In that case, then you should send messengers to inform all the sects in the East Barrens above the Jindan stage to hold a meeting in my Wangchuan Immortal City in a month and a half!" Zhou Xun said with finality.

"Yes!"

The three of them bowed in response and then left the Jingxin Pavilion.

Soon, hundreds of messengers carried Zhou Xun's True Lord's decree to the Jindan sects across the Eastern Wilderness to deliver the message.

At the same time, Zhou Xun himself also left Wangchuan Lake.

Taking advantage of this one and a half month break, he would go to Dongqi City to see with his own eyes what the ghost fog had become.

In Dongqi City, the headquarters of Dongyang Sect, four Jindan cultivators gathered together to discuss how to deal with the situation.

They were the first to know when Master Dongye passed away.

Then the great elder Dong Ping Zhenren who was in the late Jindan stage went to investigate in person. Looking at the dark ghost fog,

Even he didn't dare to go in rashly.

"Now that the ghosts have exploded, the speed of their spread has greatly increased, and they have spread over thousands of miles in a short period of time."

"At this rate, they will arrive at the gates of Dongqi City in less than two months!"

A middle-aged man wearing a tall crown said with a sad face.

"Yes, Dongqi City is the place where we spent a huge amount of money to successfully set up the teleportation array, and now it just happens to be ushering in development."

"I didn't expect that within just a few years, we would be hit by the ghost fog crisis again. Is it really so difficult for us to revitalize our sect?" Another middle-aged man replied, his voice full of reluctance.

"How about we join forces to strangle those ghosts?" A young man with a calm face spoke slowly.

He is Master Dong Yuan, the most talented person in Dongyang Sect in the past thousand years, with an earth-attributed spiritual root sensitivity of seventy-eight points.

Now, although he is just over a hundred years old, he has already reached the Jindan stage.

It was he who pushed for the decision to take out the Kongxuan Crystal from the sect's secret vault and ask Zhou Xun to set up the teleportation array.

Now he is the mayor of Dongqi City.

"No!" The leader, Dongping Zhenren, shook his head.

"I have personally investigated it and found that there are many ghosts in it. Once we enter the fog range,"

"Those ghosts attacked us one after another like moths to a flame."

"Plus, their ghost energy has a corrosive and polluting effect on our spiritual power, so once we are surrounded by them,"

"Even for me, it's not that easy to escape."

"This is also the reason why Junior Brother Dongye died there."

"What should we do? Are we just going to watch the ghost fog engulf the entire Dongqi City?" the young man said unwillingly.

"What if we ask Master Zhou to help?"

"He was able to deal with many ghost fog areas in the Eastern Wasteland, so he must have a solution for this one as well."

"Or we can use the future profits of Dongqi City as a price. What do you think?" the young man continued.

"Even if only 10% or 20% are preserved, it is much better than losing everything!"

"This Wangchuan Zhenjun is the number one person in my Eastern Wasteland. If we really give him an excuse to take over Dongqi City,"

“In the future, will this fairy city still belong to our Dongyang Sect?” asked the middle-aged man in the tall hat.

"If we can really ask Master Wangchuan to help, what does it matter even if we take away 90% of Dongqi City's profits?"

"You know, once Master Zhou accepts, it means we become their allies,"

"By then, who in the entire eastern region can compare to us?" Dongping Zhenren said slowly.

Just then, a report came from outside the door.

"Master, an envoy has arrived from Wangchuan Lake!"

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.
"Please come quickly!"

I saw a young man with a simple and honest face slowly walked in.
"I am Zhou Ping, and I am here under the command of Lord Wangchuan to issue his decree!"

Hearing this, everyone stood up and came to the young man.

"According to Lord Zhen's decree, I have decided to hold a meeting of the East Wasteland Sect Alliance in Wangchuan Immortal City on September 15 of this year to discuss ways to deal with the ghost fog!"

Upon hearing this, Dongping Zhenren stepped forward and took over the decree.
"Dongyang Sect will definitely be there on time!"

"Thank you very much, senior. I will take my leave now!" The young man said as he was about to leave.

Master Dongping smiled and said gently:
"I see that the little brother looks very familiar, and is quite similar to Master Zhou Dan, the eldest disciple of Zhenjun. I wonder."

Hearing this, the young man nodded:
"Master, your eyes are sharp as a torch. The alchemist you are talking about is none other than my father!"

"So you are the disciple of Master Zhou Zhenjun. I'm so sorry, but may I know your name?" Master Dongping asked politely.

"It'll be level next week!"

"So you are the alchemist's second son. Come and take a seat. It's rare for Mr. Zhou to come here. How can we not show our hospitality as hosts?"

Which of the major forces in the Eastern Wasteland doesn't know now?
Zhou Jinsong's eldest son is now fully committed to developing their Jiminshan Zhou family, while the second son Zhou Ping is sitting down to do errands at Wangchuan Lake.

Although he is only in the middle stage of foundation building, he is in a high position and has great power!

His influence in Wangchuan Lake is extremely great, and all Jindan cultivators have to treat him with courtesy!

"Well, since you are so polite, I will bother you a little bit, but please don't forget the meeting!"

Having said that, he followed the four people to the table and sat down below Master Dongping, ranking second.

They drank and started chatting.

At the same time, Zhou Xun also arrived at Dongqi City through the teleportation array.

There is a tense atmosphere in the city today.

The unusual movement of the ghost fog caused panic among the monks in the city, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets than usual.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh.

He has been to Dongqi City several times.
The desolate scene today is even more desolate than when the teleportation array was not set up.

"It seems that this ghost fog has scared away a lot of people!"

Then Zhou Xun grabbed a middle-aged man on the road and started to build his foundation.

Before "who" could finish his words, he felt Zhou Xun's vast aura.

When he saw Zhou Xun's face clearly, he couldn't help but show excitement.

"Lord Wangwangchuan, I pay my respects to you." He was about to kneel down.

Zhou Xun waved his hand, held the man, and then said:
"Let's cut through the red tape. I want to ask you a few things!"

"Please tell me clearly, Master!" the middle-aged man said excitedly.
"Let me ask you, where are the nearest ghost fogs outside Dongqi City?"

"In reply to Master Zhenjun, the nearest one is the one in the northeast, and it is now 18,000 miles outside the Immortal City."

"They all said that they will arrive at the city within two months, and then the entire Dongqi City will become a ghost town!" the middle-aged man answered honestly.

"Eighteen thousand miles, is it so close?" Zhou Xun frowned slightly, then nodded.
He took out a bottle of second-level medicine and threw it over.
"Practice well!"

Then his figure flashed,
The next moment he appeared outside Dongqi City, then he identified the northeast direction and turned into a ray of light and rushed away.

An hour later, Zhou Xun arrived at the location the middle-aged man mentioned.

Suspended in the air, looking up,

All I could see was pitch black.
Like a huge monster, it constantly rolls and surges, emitting a heart-pounding breath.

Cold and evil, as if it could freeze one's soul.

In the ghost fog, all kinds of strange lights flickered faintly, like the eyes of a demon hidden in the darkness.

Various ghosts rolled and roared in various shapes.

Some were like withered humanoid monsters, with shriveled bodies and green ghostly fire flashing in their eye sockets. They shuttled through the fog with their fangs and claws bared, emitting bursts of creepy roars.

Some are shaped like giant beasts with huge bodies. Every roar of theirs is like a thunderclap, causing the surrounding fog to fluctuate violently.

He was as erratic as a ghost, with an illusory figure, sometimes disappearing and sometimes appearing, and emitting a sinister sneer that made it impossible to guard against him.

"Looking at this, it's indeed much more powerful than before!" Zhou Xun secretly compared them with the one in Baiyunfang City.

The power of this place in front of us is much stronger, at least several times stronger than the latter.

He frowned slightly, thinking about the countermeasures in his heart. Apart from the fourth-level magic circle, there was no good way.

"Well, let's go in and take a look!"

The one who came here now was the incarnation, with a body of thunder attribute magical power that was unrivaled in the world.
At the same time, he is also the nemesis of ghosts. Once he enters, he is definitely a wolf among the sheep.

Just do it,

Zhou Xun flew in without hesitation.
The moment his body touched the mist, a cold and dark feeling came over him.

Then, a faint sizzling sound came from the body surface.

It turned out that a magic shield was automatically activated on Zhou Xun's body, and the lightning was constantly consuming the black fog.

"It seems that the power of this mist has also improved. This is not good news for Donghuang!"

If the fog can really continue to grow stronger,
Then the ghost fog that he had sealed before might eventually break through.
You know, there are nearly sixty ghost fogs in the Eastern Wasteland now.

By then, the entire Eastern Wilderness will be covered by this fog and completely turned into a ghost town.

"No, I must find a way to solve it!" Zhou Xun thought.

at this time,

"Hoohoo!"

Roars came from afar, getting closer and closer!

"This is... a group of ghosts are coming!"

Zhou Xun's expression turned cold. He already knew that the human race's Master Dong Ye had perished in this ghost fog.
The man had met him twice before and had a very good impression of him.
In the inky black ghost fog, a group of ghosts of various shapes were rushing towards him.

They were baring their fangs and claws, emitting a strong evil aura, and moving at an extremely fast speed, moving through the fog like lightning. There was a strange light flashing in their eyes, as if they were eager to devour all living things.

In terms of momentum, many of them are in the Jindan stage.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun snorted coldly.
He quickly formed seals with both hands, and a flash of lightning appeared.
Hundreds of lightning bolts shot out, instantly evaporating the ghost fog along the way, forming passages.

"Rumble--"

Almost the next moment, the lightning exploded among the ghosts.

There were shrill noises coming from the sky.
The next moment, the sounds became fewer and fewer, and weaker and weaker, until they completely disappeared!
Looking up, a huge hole formed in the middle of the dark fog.

It was a thousand feet in size, caused by Zhou Xun's previous attack.

After killing this group of ghosts, Zhou Xun continued to fly towards the source.

Along the way, I encountered many ghost groups similar to the ones at the beginning.
Each group has a number of four figures or more, with a third-level ghost king as the leader, wandering around.
However, under Zhou Xun's lightning power, they were all turned into powder.

As he went deeper, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the consumption of his mana became greater and greater!

An hour later, he finally reached the source and looked at the valley in front of him, which was only about ten miles in size.

In the middle, there is a crack several feet wide.
Streams of inky black fog kept emerging, and at the same time, various ghosts kept appearing.

"A mere gap has such power. If it is a real passage to the ghost world for a large group of ghosts to pass through, what kind of scene would it be!"

“I’m afraid that even if Yuanying Zhenjun came here, he would not be able to do it!”

Zhou Xun thought,

Then, he made hand gestures and blasted towards the source. Thousands of lightning bolts roared out.

Clear up the vast space!
Then he made a seal with his hands and shot several rays of light towards the gap, temporarily sealing it with a restriction.

But Zhou Xun knew that this was only a stopgap measure. In a few days, the spiritual power of the ban would be exhausted and the black fog would surge out again.

However, without new fog replenishment, the original ghost fog stopped spreading and stopped.

After doing all this, Zhou Xun flew up and started his journey back.

Time flies and October 15th is here soon.

On this day, the teleportation array of Wangchuan Fairy City kept lighting up, and powerful figures appeared one after another.
If someone uses spiritual eyes to investigate, they will find that these people are all at the Jindan stage or above.

Judging from their faces, they are actually the leaders of the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness.

The destinations of these people are actually in the same direction.
It is the meeting place of Wangchuan Fairy City - Wangchuan Hall.

At the same time, the lake island, the meditation pavilion,

Four figures sat facing each other.

It was Zhou Xun, Tianci Zhenjun, Tieshan Zhenjun and Xingyue Zhenren,
The four of them are the only four Nascent Soul cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness today.

Upon learning that Zhou Xun was planning to take the lead in uniting all the major forces in the Eastern Wilderness to deal with the ghost fog, he followed along.

"Brother Zhou, now that you are leading the Eastern Wasteland, integrating all the forces, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the ghost fog!"

"With the support of several Taoist brothers, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

At this moment, Wei Qiuxin also came over and reported:
"Island Master, representatives from all the major forces have arrived!"

“Let’s go and meet him together,” he said, and turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the Wangchuan Palace.
