Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 670: Chapter 38: Refining the Thunder Seed Again, the Earthly Fiend Number!

Half a month later, Zhou Xun and the others returned to Sea Suppression Immortal City.

They held a brief exchange meeting, but unfortunately, Zhou Xun didn’t find any treasure he fancied and ended up being a spectator.

However, True Monarch Thunder Prison and True Monarch Profound Thunder seemed to have reached some sort of deal as they whispered to each other using Sound Transmission Talismans.

Zhou Xun gained immensely from this trip, and it’s likely the others did as well.

After the exchange, they had a simple feast before parting ways.

...

Walking along the road, Zhou Xun kept recalling the scene when he encountered the Ghostly Mist.

He felt as though something bad was about to happen.

After all, years ago in Eastern Wilderness Fengyuan, he had also encountered a Ghostly Mist outbreak, though it was smaller in scale compared to the recent one at Quicksand Sea.

Indeed,

He vaguely speculated in his heart.

Could the desolation of the West Desert Cultivation Realm also be related to the Ghost Realm? After all, due to it, their Eastern Wilderness lost Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi,

degrading from a Cultivation Domain to a Cultivation Desert,

and still unable to break through the Nascent Soul Stage.

"No, though my cultivation is too low to intervene, the Ghostly Mist erupted at Quicksand Sea, bordering Central Continent,"

"This matter should be addressed by the Three Great Alliance Leaders!"

With this in mind, Zhou Xun, already at his cave mansion’s entrance, turned back toward True Monarch Yama’s cave mansion,

as prior invitations from the alliance leader presented a timely opportunity to resolve this matter.

Along the corridor toward the best cave mansion area of the Immortal City, where only Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators reside.

Soon, he reached the entrance of True Monarch Yama’s cave mansion,

flipped his palm, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, whispered a few words, and then cast it toward the inside, the talisman transforming into a fire streak flying inside.

It wasn’t long,

before the door opened from inside,

out walked a black-faced man with a nose ring and two horns on his forehead.

"Is it True Monarch Zhou? My lord invites you inside!"

The man respectfully saluted.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun instantly understood this was True Monarch Yama’s mount, the Tier Four Middle-Grade Demon Beast, Thunder Tyrant Bull, part Kui Ox bloodline!

A famed presence throughout Central Continent.

"Thank you!"

Zhou Xun replied politely and followed the man inside.

The layout here was similar to their own except the Spiritual Energy Concentration which impressively reached Tier Four Middle-Grade Level,

the pinnacle in Sea Suppression Immortal City.

Entering the parlor, he saw True Monarch Yama seated at the main seat waiting.

"Greetings Alliance Leader Yu!"

"Hahaha, I felt something good coming today, turns out Zhou Mou visits, distinguished guest indeed!"

"We resonate at first sight, no need for formality, calling each other Daoist Brothers henceforth!"

True Monarch Yama laughed heartily.

"Zhou Mou gladly follows suit, Daoist Brother Yu!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Heard Zhou Mou favoring spirit tea, I happen to have two cups of Tier Four Middle-Grade Snow Moon Tea, please savor them!"

With a wave, two cups of spirit tea appeared on the table before Zhou Xun.

"Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Tea, truly my first encounter!"

He said, lifting a cup of spirit tea.

This tea looked rather ordinary, with appearance and fragrance no different from mortal tea.

But with such name recognition, it surely wasn’t as it appeared.

True Monarch Yama wouldn’t offer something trivial.

The truth lies solely in the tea,

its Spirit Charm restrained, perhaps savoring it brings forth its intricacy,

Thus he sipped.

Tea on his lips brought instant coolness, rendering him incredibly lucid, surpassing Tier Four Low-Grade Calming Incense by multiple times!

With tea swallowed, Zhou Xun felt immersed in the Far North Icefield, engulfed in captivating snow and wind!

As sensation receded, pure spiritual qi surfaced, filling his meridians,

slightly channeling cultivation technique to refine it all,

making this sip worth ten days of rigorous cultivation.

"Indeed exquisite tea, aesthetic and rich with spiritual qi!" Zhou Xun praised incessantly.

"If Zhou Mou desires, take a pack later!" True Monarch Yama generously offered without care.

For someone of his level,

ordinary spiritual objects no longer intrigued him, only items aiding Divinity Transformation drew his interest.

Even among Great Cultivators, True Monarch Yama holds a unique prowess,

"By the way, aside from rare visits, your purpose today, surely not just for a visit?"

"Daoist Brother’s insight is sharp!"

"I came to inform you of something?"

"Do you know of the Ghostly Mist?"

With a serious expression, Zhou Xun solemnly spoke.

"I’ve heard of it naturally, Ghostly Mist is a residual toxin after the Ghost Race invaded our Human Realm, sporadically erupting!"

True Monarch Yama nodded,

as Demon Alliance leader, he knew many secrets unknown to others.

"Indeed, I encountered Ghostly Mist upon leaving Sea Suppression Immortal City, its location lies west of Yuexi Immortal City at Quicksand Sea,"

"The Ghostly Mist scale this time is astonishing, covering at least hundreds of thousands of miles!"

Remembering that day, Zhou Xun’s eyes showed a tinge of dread.

"Ghostly Mist hasn’t appeared in Central Continent for several millennia, its sudden emergence portends ill!"

True Monarch Yama’s expression grew solemn.

"I’ll confer with other alliance leaders, thanks for informing us!"

"I am but part of Central Continent, therefore duty-bound!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand.

Having communicated this matter, his purpose today was achieved, but given the opportunity, Zhou Xun debated cultivation further with True Monarch Yama.
