Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 682 Improved flying boat, Nascent Soul level combat power!

Outside the East City Gate, the monks of Tianhan City were already waiting in formation.
There are 5,000 people in a square formation, for a total of 100,000 monks.

They were dressed in various kinds of spiritual armor, holding long spears, and exuding a majestic aura.

These monks have undergone long periods of training, and their every move and gesture seem to be one.

These people were the monks that Zhou Xun planned to control the war boats. Half of them would be the official army going on the expedition, and the other half would be reserves.

Of course, in addition to these monks who controlled the flying boats, there were also 500,000 ordinary monks who fought against the enemy.
Just like the great battle with Tianyu Sect back then, dozens of people were divided into a small team, led by a foundation-building cultivator, and joined forces to fight the enemy.

But today we are testing the war airship, so we didn't bring all of them here.

The commander of this army of flying boats is Wang Erniu.

Previously in the South China Sea cultivation world, when the human race and the demon race were fighting, Wang Erniu had personally commanded a flying boat, so he was very familiar with it.

It was a pity that there was no fourth-order flying boat in the East Desert before, so we could only conduct some simple simulations and never really tried it.

Today is a good time to test their effectiveness.

At this time, these monks were also very much looking forward to boarding the war flying boat and conducting a real exercise.

With the help of the war flying boat, he can exert abilities comparable to those of a Yuanying True Lord!
Soon, the warship landed steadily on the open space outside the East City Gate.

At this moment, Wang Erniu flew up from the army below.

"Big brother!"

"It's actually a fourth-tier flying boat!" Wang Erniu looked at the giant flying boat and couldn't help but marvel at it.
"I didn't expect that you guys actually managed to refine it, big brother!"

All in all, this is their first war flying boat in the Eastern Wilderness!
"How?" Zhou Xun asked with a smile.

"Roughly speaking, they are no worse than those in Central China!" Wang Erniu thought for a moment and replied.

As they were talking, a figure flew out from the city and landed beside the crowd. It was none other than Tianci Zhenjun who had rushed over after hearing the news.

"I was startled when I saw that huge ship flying in the sky just now. Then I thought about it and guessed that the flying boat had been completed."

Tianci Zhenjun said with a smile, looking extremely happy, and then he began to check on the flying boat.

Touching the lines on the deck, feeling the spiritual power flowing through it,
"Yes, judging from its appearance, it must be a fourth-order warship. My dear brother is really amazing!"

"Brother, you are too kind. Whether it will be successful or not, it all depends on them!" Zhou Xun pointed to the army below.
Then he came to the bow, looked at the army of monks in front of him, and said:

"This one in front of us is the first fourth-order war flying boat in the Eastern Wasteland."

"Gentlemen, I have gathered you here today to actually control the war flying boat."

"You will board the flying boat and practice defense and attack. Then, my fourth-level spirit turtle will fight with you to test the capabilities of the flying boat!"

Upon hearing this, the monks showed excitement on their faces. As the saying goes, one trains an army for a thousand days and deploys it for a single day. They have been training so hard for so long, isn’t it just for this day?
Then Zhou Xun turned his gaze to Master Yu Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist Yuyuan, this first battle will be fought by you!"

It’s a pity that the leader who controls the flying boat must be a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, otherwise he would not be able to lead such a large army and bring out the actual combat power of the flying boat!
As Tianhan City's first ally, Yuyuan Zhenren is Zhou Xun's most trusted late Jindan cultivator.
Naturally, this first flying boat was also commanded by him.

"Thank you for your trust!"

Zhenren Yuyuan's eyes were filled with excitement. He was the first to board the flying boat. The five thousand monks under his command also boarded the flying boat one after another.

Wang Erniu also served as a consultant and stayed with Master Yuyuan.

Zhou Xun took out a bag of spiritual stones and threw it to Master Yu Yuan.
"Here are two million spirit stones, enough to activate it!"

"Yes!"

Yu Yuan Zhenren bowed and responded, then came to the cabin and put the spirit stone on it.
Following his order, all the monks came to their respective positions, waiting for orders.

At the same time, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle behind Zhou Xun also flew into the sky.

As a red light flashed,
A red spirit turtle over six hundred feet in size appeared in the air!
"Let's get started!" Zhou Xun said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Master Yu Yuan immediately gave the order to start, and all the cultivators began to move.

Almost in an instant, the defensive formation on the flying boat was activated instantly, and a green light curtain covered the flying boat.

"Chiwu, attack!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, he opened his mouth and seventy-two thunder seeds flew out, covering a space of tens of thousands of feet.

Then ready to go,

Once the flying boat shows signs of being unable to resist, he will take action immediately.

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle received the order and opened its mouth.
A beam of blazing red light spurted out, like a violent flaming dragon, and rushed straight towards the war boat.

The red beam of light contained a powerful fire force, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be burned and distorted.

The monks on the flying boat, sensing this tremendous force, couldn't help but turn pale.

It was as if the entire sky was pressing down on them. Many people were trembling, stunned and almost falling down.

"Is this the aura of a fourth-level demon king? Can we really stop him?"

Master Yuyuan's expression also changed drastically.

This was also the first time he faced a Nascent Soul level attack, which was really beyond his expectations.

Seeing this, Wang Erniu shook his head and then shouted:
"defense!"

Like a sharp sword, it blew away the haze in everyone's heart.

Then, under the command of Master Yu Yuan, they began to perform defensive spells together!

I saw a beam of light coming out of the flying boat, and it condensed into a green translucent light shield a hundred feet ahead.
Just happened to block the red beam of light!
"boom--"

There was a loud bang.
The red light column collided with the blue light curtain, and a strong shock wave spread out in all directions, with flying sand and rocks forming sandstorms that spread in all directions!

The monks who were watching the battle from afar widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock.

"Is this the power of a fourth-level demon king? It can move mountains and seas like this!"

"But this flying boat actually managed to block it. In the future, we will be able to control this kind of spiritual boat. If we can really fight a fourth-level monster in the future, our life will be worthwhile!"

A monk whispered.

As for Master Yuyuan and his disciples, their faces were filled with excitement.
"blocked!"

“We really blocked it!”

"This is a fourth-level demon king, comparable to a Yuanying Zhenjun, and we really blocked him!"

"Hahaha"

A feeling of pride rose in the hearts of the practitioners; they never thought that they would see such a day.

In the distance, Zhou Xun and Tianci Zhenjun, who were watching the battle, nodded when they saw this.

"It seems that those who have mastered the defense have passed the test!" Zhou Xun commented!
And then,
Seeing that the first attack did not work, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle roared and attacked again.

Its huge body trembled slightly.
It turned into a red spiritual light and came to the flying boat in an instant. It raised its claws hundreds of feet high and slapped it down fiercely!
Like a small mountain, it carried with it terrifying power, and wherever it passed, the air was torn apart with a sharp whistling sound.

"boom!"

The claws slapped on the light curtain, and the huge impact force caused the war boat to shake continuously!

But the defensive formation remains indestructible.

"Everyone stay calm and continue to inject spiritual energy!" Master Yu Yuan shouted loudly.

"Yes!" All the monks responded in unison, and worked even harder to input their spiritual power into the defensive formation.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the blue light curtain became brighter and brighter, turning into an indestructible wall.

Seeing that their own safety was not a problem, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Master Yu Yuan looked at the spirit turtle that was so close, his eyes gleaming, and continued to give orders:
"Change formation, binding technique!"

All the monks became one, changing their spells at the same time.

Then, the flying boat flashed with green light.
Then, four green chains several hundred feet long and several feet wide appeared in the air.

The next moment, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle's limbs were tied tightly!

Seeing this, everyone was delighted.

Yuyuan Zhenren was even more delighted.

They didn't expect that they could still gain the upper hand against a fourth-level Demon King.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Master Yu Yuan changed his orders again.
"Thunder Technique, get ready!"

All the monks changed their spells at the same time.

"Fuck!"

A giant blue lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck heavily at the bound Red Noon Spirit Turtle.

The lightning turned into an afterimage, emitting a heart-pounding aura of destruction.

"My dear brother, this lightning strike seems to have some of the mysteries of your 'Nine Days of Thunder Tribulation'!"

When True Lord Tianci sensed the destructive intent emanating from this lightning, he could not help but be surprised.

Zhou Xun heard this and nodded.
"Yes, I have modified the attack restrictions of this flying boat and added the Thunder Tribulation Crystal. Every attack contains the destructive power of Thunder Tribulation!"

"In this way, when facing ghosts, we will have extremely strong restraining power and can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

"It seems that your attainments in formation have improved. I'm afraid it won't be long before you can advance to the fourth-level middle grade!"

Tianci Zhenjun exclaimed in admiration.

You know, a general fourth-level low-grade array master does not have the ability to improve the array.

On the other hand, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle felt this powerful attack and showed surprise in his eyes. He did not expect that he would fall into a disadvantage.
Immediately the spell changed,
I saw the tortoise shell on his back suddenly fall off, and he flew into the sky and turned into a giant shield, blocking the falling lightning.

This is none other than his own tortoise shell, which he refined into his own magic weapon, which is why it has such power.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun also showed a look of surprise.
He also didn't expect that the Red Wu Spirit Turtle had such a trick, otherwise Red Wu would have to take the lightning with his body.
Given his physical condition, it must be very uncomfortable.

By now, the power of this flying boat had been basically tested.
Defense and attack are both at the fourth level.

After Zhou Xun's improvements, its power has been further enhanced compared to those previously used in the South China Sea.

So he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"That's enough, let's stop now!"

The voice carried a hint of magical power and instantly spread throughout the battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Master Yu Yuan waved his hand and everyone stopped. The light curtain of the flying boat was slowly retracted and then it landed again at the city gate.

Then he flew up, came to Zhou Xun, and knelt on one knee:

"Yuyuan has finished the drill, please give us your instructions, leader!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xun nodded and praised:

"Fellow Daoist Yu Yuan has mastered the control of the flying boat and fully utilized its power. In the name of the East Wasteland Cultivation Association, I will grant you a fourth-level spiritual talisman. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future!"

"As for the lords under your command, they will all be rewarded according to their cultivation and merits!"

"Thank you for the reward, Lord!" Yu Yuan Zhenren was overjoyed, and the fourth-level talisman,

This was comparable to a blow from a Nascent Soul cultivator. For him, it was like having an extra powerful trump card.

This is especially true in the Eastern Wilderness.

As long as he doesn't provoke those Yuanying Zhenjuns, he can basically do whatever he wants!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun nodded slightly, then glanced at everyone and said loudly:
"The same goes for you all in the future. As long as you perform great deeds, I will reward you generously!"

"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"

Everyone was very excited and shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

Next, Zhou Xun, Tianci Zhenjun and Tieshan Zhenjun did not stay any longer, but returned to the Taoist temple to continue refining the second flying boat.

Now that we have the experience of the first ship, the subsequent refining will be much faster.

According to Zhou Xun's estimate,

If Master Tieshan and his men work at their best, one ship can be completed in two months, and Zhou Xun can shorten the time by another half a month.

So,

In more than two years, the refining of the first batch of ten flying boats will be completed!
By then, with the addition of these Yuanying Zhenjuns,

It is enough to deal with the changes in the ghost fog.

After Zhou Xun and others left, the army of monks continued to stay at the city gate, using this flying boat to conduct actual control training, supervised by Wang Erniu himself.

In this way, after the war flying boat is refined, it can be immediately controlled and put into battle.

Dongqi City,
After receiving Zhou Xun's order, True Lord Xingyue stayed here to guard the place.

Dongqi City now has a total of 1,000 ghost fogs in the southeast, which were sealed by Zhou Xun's fourth-level magic array.

The two seats to the east and northeast were not processed.

However, with True Lord Xingyue guarding here, he would go to the Ghost Fog to clean out the ghosts every once in a while.

As a result, the ghost fog did not continue to spread, and a stalemate occurred.

On this day, Xingyue Zhenjun came to the ghost fog in the east again and began to clean up the clan
"Fellow Daoist Dong Yuan, how are the ghosts doing now?"

Xingyue Zhenjun asked Dongyuan Zhenren,
Every time after he cleared out the ghost clan, the real person from Dongyang Sect would be responsible for monitoring them.

The east direction is under the charge of Dongyuan Zhenren, while the northeast direction is under the charge of Dongxing Zhenren.

"In reply to your question, Master Zhen, after the seniors have cleaned it up many times, the ghost fog is now very quiet!" Master Dongyuan replied respectfully.

He always felt grateful and in awe of this Yuanying Zhenjun who helped them to rule Dongqi City.

"Quietly, I want to clean up the interior today. I wonder if little friend Dong Yuan is interested in joining me?"

Xingyue Zhenjun smiled and said,
Dong Yuan Zhenren has extraordinary talent, and is no worse than him. In the context of the return of the vitality of the Eastern Wasteland,
There is a high probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
Therefore, True Lord Xingyue is also willing to establish a good relationship!
"If you're serious, then I'll trouble you, Senior!" Master Dong Yuan was overjoyed.

After the demise of the ghost clan, a treasure called ghost beads will be produced, which is extremely valuable.

"Let's go then!"

Having said that, he waved his hand and flew deeper into the depths with Master Dong Yuan.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered some ghost tribes led by third-level ghost kings, and they were defeated by the two of them.
Destroyed in an instant!
In just one day, the two of them pulled away the source of the ghost fog and connected to the crack in the ghost world.

"This is the source that Brother Wangchuan mentioned. It is indeed strange!" Xingyue Zhenjun glanced at the crack.
There seems to be a great terror.

As he pondered,
suddenly--

Rumble!
The black fog in front of him suddenly rolled up, and a huge foot stepped out from it, followed by half a body.
He is trying desperately to squeeze out, and seems to be about to break out!

"No, that's a fourth-level ghost king."
