Chapter 736: Chapter 69: Primordial Qi Revives—Eastern Wilderness Can Form Nascent Souls Too? (Part 2)

"Why are you all gathered here today? What is the reason?"

"Master, you may not know, but our Eastern Wilderness is probably in big trouble now!"

With that, she recounted the events of the ghostly mist riots occurring throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

Upon hearing that the ghostly mist did not, as before, gradually dissipate after emerging,

but instead continued to spread in all directions, constantly eroding the territories of the Human Race,

Zhou Xun felt that the matter was not so simple.

After all, the ghostly mist was something he had personally experienced more than once!

And he had learned a lot about its origins from the scriptures, matters related to the Ghost Realm.

Matters involving both realms were not within his right to meddle with.

But if this ghostly mist isn’t dealt with and allowed to continue spreading, it won’t be long before

Wangchuan Lake will be in grave danger!

After much thought, he decided to explore the matter personally,

unfortunately, the Soul-Devouring Beast is currently at the incarnation,

otherwise, with its ability to suppress ghostly creatures, this journey would be much easier.

"Since I have returned, it is naturally my responsibility to handle this matter!"

With that, Zhou Xun no longer had the mind to reminisce with the others. After sending them off,

he directly transformed into a ray of spirit light and swiftly headed towards the White Cloud Market.

...

Meanwhile,

outside the White Cloud Market,

the ghostly mist has already spread to a range of thousands of miles in Desolate Valley,

and is now only five thousand miles away from the White Cloud Market.

Luo Hong is now personally leading the team, stationed near the ghostly mist, constantly monitoring its changes.

"Father, if this ghostly mist keeps spreading, won’t it swallow the White Cloud Market too?"

Luo Buli was full of worry.

Since the reconstruction of the White Cloud Market, their Luo Family has invested a massive amount of resources here,

it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Luo Family is now the largest noble family at the White Cloud Market.

If the White Cloud Market gets swallowed by the ghostly mist,

even if the Luo Family does not completely collapse, it will inevitably suffer a heavy loss, and decades of family accumulation will be in ruins.

"It won’t happen, not with the Island Master here, this ghostly mist will certainly be no match!"

Luo Hong was full of confidence.

"Are you... Wei Hong?"

At this moment, a gentle voice echoed beside Luo Hong’s ear, startling him.

Since he reached Foundation Establishment, hardly anyone dared to call him by name directly,

and he hadn’t heard the name ’Wei Hong’ being called by anyone in a long time.

"Who is it?"

A thought flashed in his mind.

He soon had an answer,

as a handsome and graceful white-clad man appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

Seeing this familiar face,

Luo Hong instantly became excited, his voice even trembling, stuttering as he spoke:

"Isl... Island Master!"

"Luo Hong pays respects to the Island Master!"

’Luo Hong?’

Upon hearing this name, Zhou Xun remembered that the three brothers Wei Shangren were originally surnamed Luo,

descendants of the Spirit Talisman Luo Family,

only changed their names to escape enemies’ pursuit.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Luo Hong’s situation instantly fell into his eyes.

"Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, not bad, if your father and your two great uncles knew, they could rest in peace!"

By this point, Zhou Xun had long ceased to bear any animosity towards the foes of the past.

As the saying goes, times change, and with the passage of time, whether it’s hatred, friendship, or anything else,

they all eventually become things of the past!

"This is all thanks to the Island Master’s kindness!" Luo Hong’s eyes were full of admiration and respect.

Ever since joining Wangchuan Lake, he had always been puzzled as to why his two great uncles and his father, whom he had never met,

had once been enemies with the Island Master,

with the Island Master’s majestic and steady demeanor, he only wished he could have followed him sooner.

At this moment, the rest of the people saw Zhou Xun’s figure, and they too were uncontrollably excited, falling to the ground, knocking their heads repeatedly.

"We are all people of Wangchuan Lake, no need for formalities!"

Zhou Xun smiled lightly, waved his hand,

and a gentle lift helped everyone slowly rise.

"Thank you, Island Master!"

In his heart, he felt that the Island Master truly deserved to be the Eastern Wilderness’s Number One Cultivator; whether it was cultivation or demeanor, just one glance was enough to inspire submission.

Even when dealing with these low-tier cultivators, he remained equally gentle, showing no sign of the Core Formation Master’s loftiness,

just like a kind elder, approachable and amiable.

"Luo Hong, you stand guard here; tell me all the details of this Ghostly Mist, from its outbreak to the present,"

Zhou Xun instructed.

"Island Master, when the Ghostly Mist erupted, I was in the market and did not experience it firsthand, fearing some omissions,"

"perhaps my second son should recount it, as he experienced it personally!"

Luo Hong spoke up.

"Let him come up!" Zhou Xun said.

Immediately after, a young man with a look of excitement in his eyes walked over,

"Luo... Luo Buli pays respect to the Island Master!"

The thought of talking directly with Zhou Xun would surely make many envious.

"You are Luo Hong’s second son, not bad aptitude, reaching Late-Stage Foundation Establishment should be no problem!" Zhou Xun slightly smiled and commented, then said:

"Tell us about your experience at that time!"

"Yes!"

Luo Buli nodded in response and began recounting his experience after patrolling to the Desolate Valley that day.

"Suddenly erupted, spreading beyond the valley?" Muttering these words, Zhou Xun began to ponder.

He immediately looked at Luo Buli and asked:

"I wonder, after taking the Blood Evil Pill, how was your escape speed?"

"This..." Hearing this, Luo Buli was at a loss on how to respond,

Luo Hong gave him a kick, prompting him to speak quickly:

"Directly reenact the scene for the Island Master!"

"Oh... all right!"

Luo Buli suddenly understood, flipping his palm, a Spiritual Boat floated in front of him,

then he leapt onto it,

took out a Blood Evil Pill from his Storage Bag, and swallowed it without hesitation,

instantly, a faint blood red glow emanated from him,

Luo Buli focused his mind, unleashed all his mana, and the Spirit Beast transformed into a streak of spirit light, swiftly taking off.

Upon seeing this,

Zhou Xun fell into deep thought,

Such speed had already surpassed the Ghostly Mist he encountered in the past, suggesting this incident of the Ghostly Mist,

was likely linked to a more terrifying major event, possibly related to the Ghost Realm.

After a long while, Zhou Xun snapped back to reality.

"You all withdraw for now, leave this place to me!" he instructed, and the crowd dispersed.

Gazing at the vast expanse of black mist before him, the faint sounds of ghostly wails and howls could be heard.

"It seems if I want to resolve this Ghostly Mist, I must delve deeper inside!"

He murmured to himself,

Zhou Xun formed seals with his hands, uttering incantations, beginning to perform the Divination Technique.

Moments later, Zhou Xun revealed a slight smile,

The divination was normal!

With a flash, he darted straight into the Ghostly Mist.

This Ghostly Mist, indeed like before, restrained human divine sense and mana.

But he was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and naturally, the Ghostly Mist could not affect him,

he summoned forth a green light beam,

immediately, cries of agony resonated, and countless ghost creatures ahead met their demise.

At the same time, a several-zhang-size cavity appeared in the mist, only to be filled again in a moment.

Zhou Xun formed a spell seal, creating a cyan light shield around him, then flew towards the place where the Ghostly Mist first erupted,

"Desolate Valley."

Unfortunately, his true self possessed Wood Attribute, which had limited dispersing effect on the Ghostly Mist,

If he transformed again, with his unparalleled Thunder Dao Divine Techniques, this mere thousand-mile Ghostly Mist could easily be cleared.

Of course, this was merely a stopgap measure and would recover shortly.

The closer he got to "Desolate Valley", the higher the mist’s density, until finally reaching the destination, where it nearly became tangible.

Around his light shield, pairs of faintly glowing eyes stared at him, continuously assaulting the shield,

yet the shield stood firm without even the slightest tremor.

Thus, braving the layers of ghost creature obstructions, Zhou Xun finally reached the source of this Ghostly Mist,

at the bottom of Desolate Valley, over a dozen zhang-sized fissures spewed black energy while ghost creatures surged out from within, spreading all around.

After carefully sensing the situation, Zhou Xun exhaled a sigh of relief,

Fortunately, he only needed to seal the fissures, and this particular Ghostly Mist would be resolved, moreover, he had just advanced to a Tier Four Array Master.

By enclosing it with an array to prevent further replenishing, the rootless Ghostly Mist would be inevitably assimilated.
