Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 684: Leaving home when young and returning when old!
Zhou Xun galloped all the way with the Green Ape. Wherever they passed, the ghost fog dissipated. With the Green Ape by the side, those ghosts didn't dare to approach at all, and Zhou Xun's speed of advancement was greatly accelerated.

In just a few hours, they arrived at the source of the ghost fog and the crack connecting to the ghost world.

At this time, the ghost fog around the crack was surging more violently, as if a powerful force was trying to break the seal.

Zhou Xun stared at the crack with a solemn expression. There seemed to be an extraordinary presence on the other side, which gave him a vague feeling of fear.
You know, with his current strength,
Even among great monks, only a few like Tianyi Zhenjun could give him this feeling!

Could it be that there is a fourth-level upper-grade ghost king on the other side of the crack?

Zhou Xun guessed,
Then he turned his gaze to the crack.

"No, the crack here seems to be expanding. If it is not stopped, the consequences will be disastrous." Zhou Xun frowned and said to himself.

This crack has expanded a lot since he explored it a few months ago.

No wonder that fourth-level ghost king was able to pass.

Looking at the ghost fog that keeps pouring out,

Zhou Xun clasped his hands together, and arcs of lightning surged out from his fingertips and flew towards the crack.

The lightning arc fell on the crack, making a crackling sound. The ghost fog was dispersed a little by the lightning arc, but the crack did not change obviously.

Then the formula changed again,

The lightning struck the crack and turned into translucent seals with spiritual light flowing on them, which was extremely extraordinary.

However, this is only a temporary measure. With the ability of a fourth-level ghost king, it will probably not take long for him to break through!
But that's all he can do for now.
What he is most worried about right now is the situation in other places.
If all the cracks were opened and a fourth-level ghost king poured out from them, I am afraid that all of Eastern Wasteland would fall except for Wangchuan Lake and Tianhan City which he was guarding.

at this time,

The green ape beside Zhou Xun suddenly cried out,

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xun asked in confusion.

"Zhizhi."

"What? You have a way to temporarily stabilize it?" Zhou Xun was overjoyed when he heard this.

I saw a faint light flashing from the tip of the green ape's nose, and then a green light flew out and added to the blue seal.
Then, an amazing scene happened.

The ghost fog around suddenly began to retreat. At the same time, the feeling of palpitation on the other side of the crack also disappeared, as if it was shocked by the green light!

Zhou Xun couldn't help but think of the "holy beast" mentioned by the two ghost kings. Could it be that the green ape was related to their ghost clan?

But now is not the time to investigate this matter.
No matter what, it’s fine as long as the Green Ape’s ability is useful. Judging from the speed at which the green light dissipates, it can last at least three months.

Next, it depends on how the other Tianci Dao brothers investigate!

Tianhan City, Zhou Xundong Mansion Living Room,

Zhou Xun, Tianci Zhenjun and Tieshan Zhenjun sat together to discuss the situations they encountered.
Zhou Xun was the first to tell about the two ghost kings he encountered and how he killed them.
"After killing the two ghost kings, I continued to go deeper."

"Finally arrived at the source of the ghost fog rift,"

"Sure enough, in just a few months, the crack has expanded a lot compared to before, and it can already accommodate the appearance of a fourth-level ghost king!"

"But I will seal it temporarily. There shouldn't be any problem in the next two or three months!"

"I wonder how the two Taoist brothers are doing in other places?"

As he spoke, Zhou Xun turned his gaze towards Tianci Zhenjun and Tieshan Zhenjun standing beside him.

"I went to the place in the northern part of my Zhao State. This place is also the place where my dear brother has not set up a magic circle."

"Plus, the spiritual energy is thin and there are few human traces. The ghost fog here has grown very quickly and has almost turned into a ghost domain!"

"Basically, every few thousand miles, I would encounter a group of ghosts led by a third-level ghost king. It took me a lot of effort to finally reach the source!"

"This place is almost the same as what you described, brother. Black mist is pouring out like a spring that never dries up!"

"Fortunately, this place is only a few feet wide, so I don't think it can accommodate a fourth-level ghost!"

"And the same was true for the other three I explored afterwards!"

"However, compared to when you first set up the magic circle seal, the crack has increased, but the extent is smaller, only about two or three feet!"

"The same goes for the four places I explored. Three of them were places where magic arrays were once set up. Fortunately, there were cultivators nearby guarding them and constantly replenishing them with spirit stones, so there haven't been too many changes!" True Lord Tieshan also added.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, the one in Dongqi City is still a special case. I just need to reinforce the seal every once in a while, and I don't think there will be any big problems."

"However, we still need to be alert to the changes in the ghost fog, improve our strength in all areas as soon as possible, and find a way to seal it for a long time!"

“Otherwise, the cracks will continue to widen, and there will be more and more cracks that can accommodate a fourth-level ghost king!
"It's a pity that we don't know where Master Yun Ku is. Otherwise, with their knowledge, they might be able to find a solution!"

Zhou Xun still remembered that when he first encountered the ghost fog outbreak, it suddenly disappeared afterwards.

He guessed that perhaps a monk of a higher level had taken action.

I don’t know why they didn’t show up again this time.

"Yes!"

“Perhaps this is the reason why the Eastern Wasteland fell into decline back then!” sighed Tianci Zhenjun.

"Next, we need to continue training the monk army."

"At the same time, we cannot stop refining the flying boat. This is the fastest way to improve the overall strength of our Eastern Wasteland cultivation world!"

After the three of them made a plan, they each went their separate ways!

At the same time, thousands of miles away from Wangchuan Lake, in Fengyuan,

On this day, a ripple suddenly appeared somewhere in the sky, and then a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a Confucian robe and with a square face, suddenly appeared.

Next to him, there was a tall young man with a resolute face, it was Shan Xionghai!
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang, for seeing me off!"

Shan Xionghai bowed and thanked him!
"Your master and I have a close relationship. This is just a small matter!"

"Besides, you can help me by coming here,"

"Now the cracks in the ghost world in various places in the East Wilderness have been torn apart again, and a lot of ghost world mist has escaped and dispersed."

"I have no time to deal with it because I am busy guarding the passage to the ghost world. Now I leave this matter to you!" the middle-aged man said slowly.

Then he took out another golden talisman and handed it over:

"If there is any accident, you can tear open this talisman. I will sense it and come immediately!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Shan Xionghai did not refuse.

The middle-aged man nodded, then his figure flashed and disappeared the next moment.

Shan Xionghai looked into the distance.

Back then, he left the Eastern Wilderness with Master Yun Ku. Now, after two hundred years, he is finally back!
Then he identified the location of Hongyefang and walked into the air.

Half a month later,
He finally came to Hongyefang again.

Looking at the unfamiliar scene in front of him, he was stunned.
"Is this still Hongyefang?" But looking at the three big characters at the entrance of the market, it was undoubtedly 'Hongyefang'. He didn't know that a beast tide had occurred in the entire Xu country, and then most of the Xu country fell, and Hongyefang was also destroyed.
This place today is the scene after reconstruction.
This was different from what he remembered.

Then he came to the location of his home, which had now been transformed into a prosperous restaurant.

The original yard, the jujube tree that existed when I was a child, and the dry ancient well under the tree are all gone!
"Things are different and people are different!"

Shan Xionghai sighed.

Then he dispersed his spiritual consciousness and saw that the secret room hidden several feet deep in the ground was still there.

His figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared in the secret room.
This secret room is where the Shan family uses to store some valuables, such as monster materials that have not been sold in time, and some tools and treasures for hunting monsters.

Now it is empty, with only a few wooden shelves around it still intact.

There was a thick layer of dust on it.

Then Shan Xionghai began to explore the secret room carefully. He left too many memories here.

It is rare that this secret room can be preserved today.

Suddenly, he found a few large characters on the left wall:

"When you come to look for me again, don't forget to bring the Snow Rabbit with you!"

It was left by Zhou Xun when he came here to look for him. (Volume 64, Chapter )
"Looking for my brother!"

Seeing the message, Shan Xionghai couldn't help but smile knowingly. Now this childhood friend is still alive and living a very good life.
This made him feel extremely relieved.
"See you soon!"

He sighed, then waved his hand.
The original secret room was gone, leaving only a huge hole in its place.

He preserved this secret room and put it in a storage bag. It was the only thing he left behind.

Then, he walked into the restaurant.

"Sir, please come in," the waiter said as he led Shan Xionghai to a seat by the window on the second floor.

"I wonder what you would like to order, sir. We have the best 'Spirit Monkey Drunk' here!"

"Do you have a 'Snow Rabbit'?" Shan Xionghai asked with a slight smile.

"Sir, you really know what you are talking about. We just got three monsters in our store today. They were all caught by the monster hunters. Please come in!"

Hearing the words 'Monster Hunter', Shan Xionghai couldn't help but fall into memories.

Back then, he followed his uncle to learn the art of hunting monsters and became a monster hunting apprentice.
Zhou Xun often asked him to catch snow rabbits to eat.
"Sir, Sir!" the waiter's call interrupted Shan Xionghai's memories.
"Would you like anything else?"

"Oh, pick out the best dishes from your restaurant and serve me three more!" Shan Xionghai said with a smile.

Soon, the waiter came up with a long plate with a lot of delicious dishes on it.

"Sir, please take your time!"

After placing all the delicacies on the table, the waiter prepared to leave!

"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you!"

Hearing this, the waiter had no choice but to stop.

"Sir, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know!"

"I've heard of the name of 'True Lord Wangchuan' a long time ago. Can you tell me about his deeds, little brother?" Shan Xionghai said.

"Lord Wangchuan!"

Hearing Shan Xionghai ask this, the waiter suddenly became interested, his face became excited, and he started dancing.

"Sir, do you know that Master Wangchuan was originally a member of our Hongyefang?"

"And the Lin family, the owner of our restaurant, is from the family of the Taoist companion of the True Lord!"

"Speaking of which, we are also considered as a member of the True Lord's army!" The waiter smiled shyly, looking extremely proud.

"The Lin family! Could it be the eldest daughter of the Lin family? She was the dream of all the young men in Hongyefang back then, but I didn't expect that you, Brother Xun, got there first!"

"Back then, our Hongyefang was controlled by the four major families. Somehow, the Wu family, which had the greatest power, united with the other three families and began to swallow up the Lin family!"

"The entire Hongyefang fell into turmoil, and it was from that time that Master Wangchuan left the Lin family and later went to Qingyuefang."

"Speaking of Qingyuefang, we have to mention the Song family, a family of immortal cultivators. They got their start because their sister married Jin Hong Zhenren as a Taoist partner!"

"Afterwards, Fairy Song was sent to the True Lord's residence. Now she has become the True Lord's in-law. She is really the envy of others!"

The waiter said this with a look of amazement.

"Another Taoist companion?" Shan Xionghai was very surprised.

'Xun Ge'er is actually enjoying the blessing of having many wives!'

"Yes, the True Lord only has these two Taoist companions. The Lin and Song families are now one of the four major families!"

Xiao Er continued:

"After leaving Qingyuefang, the True Lord came to Baiyun Fairy City, and then he started to gain momentum like a dragon entering the sea, and it was unstoppable!"

"First, I built my foundation, then I obtained the now famous Wangchuan Lake Dojo, and then I became a disciple of Master Baiyun!"

"When the Tianyu Sect in the north invaded, he formed a pill in one fell swoop, and was later appreciated by Tianci Zhenren, and became the Grand Elder of Tianhan City."

"Many years later, he appeared again, already a Yuanying Zhenjun!"

"Now, we have established the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation Alliance, which commands the entire Eastern Wasteland!"

"He is the most famous person in our Hongyefang!"

The waiter said this with a look of reverence.

Hearing this, Shan Xionghai showed longing. Compared with Zhou Xun, he had lived a dull life in recent years.
After becoming a disciple of Master Yunku, a master of the Divine Transformation Realm,
Then began the boring training life.
Every day, besides practicing,

In just two hundred years, he had already reached the early stage of Nascent Soul, and even cultivated the highest magical power of the Prajna Temple - the Tathagata Body!
Even if facing a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, he is still able to fight!
"Then do you know where the Lord Wangchuan is?" Shan Xionghai asked casually.

"However, I think he is either in Wangchuan Lake or Tianhan City!"

The waiter replied.

"Okay, thank you very much!" Shan Xionghai smiled slightly, took out a spirit stone and handed it over.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

The waiter was overjoyed. He didn't expect to get a spirit stone as a reward. Normally, he would be happy for several days if he got one or two spirit essences!
However, when he saw the spirit stone in his hand, he was stunned.
"Mid-grade spiritual stone!"

So he hurriedly looked up to thank him, but there was no one else there.

Only then did he realize that he had met a great senior, and he quickly bowed down!

Shan Xionghai naturally didn't know that the middle-grade spirit stone was already the smallest unit of spirit stone in his storage bag.
After finding out clearly,

He flew straight to the Wangchuan Lake. His childhood best friend, who had been separated for more than two hundred years, was finally going to meet again!
