Chapter 738 - 70: We Have Met True Monarch Wangchuan! (Part 2)

Chapter 738: Chapter 70: We Have Met True Monarch Wangchuan! (Part 2)

In the Eastern Wilderness, many sects have a history spanning thousands of years, and within their sect treasure vaults, there are bound to be many valuable items.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun’s heart was set, it seems the next step is to host the Nascent Soul Ceremony, taking this opportunity to gather numerous Core Formation cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness.

He continued,

"Currently, the entire Eastern Wilderness is in a state of panic!"

"As Wangchuan Lake and Tianhan City are the first major force in the Eastern Wilderness and have a way to resist the Ghostly Mist, naturally, we shouldn’t be stingy!"

"Shaoqing!"

Saying this, Zhou Xun turned his gaze to Xu Shaoqing,

"Disciple here!"

"I have decided, that in one month, we will hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony in Wangchuan Immortal City. You shall send invitations to the major forces of the Eastern Wilderness, inviting them to attend!"

"Yes, Master!" Xu Shaoqing respectfully responded!

Zhou Jingsong and the others were equally joyous, [displaying] expressions of joy on their faces!

Once the news of Zhou Xun’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul spreads,

the prestige of Wangchuan Lake will rise once again, spreading throughout every corner of the Eastern Wilderness, rather than being limited to the Wangchuan Lake—Tianhan City line as it was before,

With the promotion of Wangchuan Lake’s status, naturally, they will also rise with the tide.

As the only direct disciple of a Nascent Soul in the Eastern Wilderness, even if they encounter Peak Core Formation cultivators at that time, the latter will have to treat them with respect!

...

Very soon, in the cultivation realm of the Eastern Wilderness, various Core Formation influences received news of Zhou Xun’s "Nascent Soul Ceremony."

Upon first seeing the invitations, the leaders and elders of various forces were initially incredulous,

but then became doubtful.

After all, this was news personally transmitted by Wangchuan Lake, if it were false, wouldn’t it be slapping their own face,

but if it were true,

no one in the Eastern Wilderness cultivation realm has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage for six thousand years,

even a genius like True Monarch Tianci hadn’t done so.

With a sense of suspicion, these people finally decided to attend Zhou Xun’s Nascent Soul Ceremony, only by seeing it with their own eyes could they know.

If Zhou Xun had truly broken through to Nascent Soul, it would be like pioneering a path for Eastern Wilderness cultivators,

a path to a higher realm.

Thus, the news of True Monarch Wangchuan’s ascension to Nascent Soul, the first cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, spread throughout the entire region,

even reaching the ears of the former Celestial Feather Sect Second Elder, now living incognito.

"Nascent Soul!"

"Who are they trying to fool? It’s impossible for the Eastern Wilderness to have a Nascent Soul!"

This Second Elder sneered at the intelligence in his hand,

but that very night, he quickly left the place he had lived in for decades, fleeing to a more distant place with his storage bag.

Time flies, the sun and moon shuttle by,

the date of Zhou Xun’s Nascent Soul celebration draws closer and closer.

Representatives from many forces arrived early at Wangchuan Immortal City, hoping to meet Zhou Xun, the only True Monarch Nascent Soul in the Eastern Wilderness.

For example, the Red Leaf Square Lin Family, who had both proximity and good relations.

Zhou Xun came from Red Leaf Square and had once stayed at the Pill Treasure Pavilion under the Lin Family’s jurisdiction, and had a close relationship with Lin Xueying.

The two are natural allies.

Now that Zhou Xun was advancing here, the Lin Family’s visit was naturally expected.

Confronted with the Lin Family’s early visit, Zhou Xun did not neglect them and promptly met the Lin Family cultivators.

This time, the Lin Family’s visit was led by Supreme Elder Lin Anshu, along with several Lin Family descendants.

As for the once-renowned Xun Houqing, he had passed away over six decades ago, his lifespan exhausted.

In the reception hall,

Lin Anshu, dragging his old body, came before Zhou Xun and bowed!

"Lin Anshu greets True Monarch Wangchuan!"

"Congratulations to True Monarch on achieving Nascent Soul, the Path is now accomplished!"

Lin Anshu, now over two hundred and twenty years old, had long reached the age of retirement. Hearing of Zhou Xun’s Nascent Soul formation,

he insisted on coming personally,

Lin Family Patriarch Lin Zhenping couldn’t dissuade his father and allowed him to come along.

"Daoist Lin, we have known each other for many years, and you are Xueying’s uncle, we are among family, no need to be so polite!"

"Moreover, since your health is not convenient, why come to suffer like this!"

Zhou Xun’s voice was warm, like a spring breeze to the ears.

He then extended his hand to send a stream of spiritual power into the elder’s body.

Lin Anshu immediately felt an indescribably gentle force permeate, travel along his meridians, warm and rejuvenating, bringing a glow to his aged frame,

his complexion turning rosy!

"Thank you, True Monarch!"

The voice was like resonant brass, quite unlike the elderly figure from before,

witnessing this, everyone could not help but be astonished,

This, indeed, was the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, divine means indeed,

In truth, this was the benefit of Zhou Xun’s Spirit Wood magical power, refined and purified by his Lifebound Cyan Lotus, his spiritual power imbued with a hint of vitality.

It could temporarily enhance a person’s vitality,

though, unfortunately, it was only a temporary effect, truly permanent enhancement wasn’t out of reach,

by consuming the Primordial Qi of his Lifebound Cyan Lotus, it could be done.

But he couldn’t possibly undermine his foundation for Lin Anshu’s sake!

"Yes, Grandfather!"

Lin Youshan came to Lin Anshu’s side, supporting and helping him to sit down.

Now, the Lin Family was one of the prominent clans in Yue Country, with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators,

yet, their rise had been relatively recent, and no Core Formation cultivators had emerged.

...

Soon, on the day of the Nascent Soul celebration,

virtually all the claimed forces in the Eastern Wilderness who received invitations sent delegates,

among whom, many were led by the Supreme Elders themselves.

Simultaneously, quite a few Core Formation cultivators also attended under their own names.

The only True Monarch Nascent Soul in six thousand years!

For these Core Formation cultivators, this was an opportunity of a lifetime, perhaps they might discover the secret to advancing to Nascent Soul,

and failing that, they could at least sell the information for a fortune in cultivation resources.

Thus,

on the day of Zhou Xun’s Nascent Soul Ceremony, nearly ninety percent of the Core Formation cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness were gathered,

totaling over eight hundred people!

For this ceremony, Xu Shaoqing dispatched all the guards to maintain order!

Today’s Wangchuan Immortal City was more bustling than ever before,

with various colors of escape lights, flying boat tower ships, spirit beast mounts, transforming into the colorful glow of spirit lights, heading towards Wangchuan Immortal City.

These people were mostly from several nearby countries,

as for those farther away, they often chose to take the Tianhan City’s teleportation array.

Their leaders included those in Late-Stage Core Formation,

yet when they approached within five miles of Wangchuan Immortal City, they still respectfully stopped, entering Wangchuan Immortal City on foot.

In ordinary times, when would they have been so disciplined?

Zhou Jingsong, Weih Qiuxin and the others all served as guest masters, responsible for guiding and hosting the various forces.

Zhou Xun sat at the main seat in the grand hall, watching the continuous stream of escape lights flying in the distance, occasionally hearing voices announcing arrivals:

"Red Leaf Square Lin Family presents a gift of a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Medicine, congratulating True Monarch Wangchuan on forming the Nascent Soul, achieving the Path!"

"Celestial Star Sect of Zhao Country presents a gift of a Tier Four material, a Fire Element Crystal, congratulating True Monarch Wangchuan on enduring for endless years!"

"Taihe Sect of Zhao Country presents a gift of a Tier Four Blood Shadow Crystal, wishing True Monarch Wangchuan everlasting glory on the immortal path!"

...

At the same time, in the South Sea cultivation realm, Jixing Island.

Zhou Xun looked at the command order in his hand, sighing slightly,

Three days ago, he received an order from Sea Suppression Immortal City,

all cultivators of Jixing Island were to return except for True Monarch Cloud Mountain, a sole Nascent Soul cultivator,

everyone else, Zhou Xun, True Monarch Profound Time, among others,

were to return to Sea Suppression Immortal City.

Simultaneously, their five tower ships and cultivator army also returned,

leaving only ten thousand men stationed!

This was a joint command from the Three Great Influences, which Zhou Xun and others could not refuse.

"Alas, it seems I can’t avoid it after all!"

The time he spent stationed on Jixing Island were said to be his most leisurely days,

His path of array advanced to Tier Four, and his cultivation steadily grew.

"If I had a dozen more years, perhaps I could have time to attempt a breakthrough to Middle-Stage Nascent Soul!"

Sighing,

the next day at dawn, Zhou Xun and True Monarch Profound Time among others, took the tower ship towards Sea Suppression Immortal City.

...

In the Eastern Wilderness cultivation realm, the grand hall of Wangchuan Immortal City,

Zhou Xun sat at the top, listening to the gifts from various sects, sighing slightly:

"It seems I was right, these sects indeed have many fine items!"

As gifts from all directions were continually offered, the guests soon gathered.

Zhou Xun then slowly stood up, an aura of overwhelming spiritual pressure unique to a Nascent Soul cultivator instantly permeated the entire hall, pressing down upon everyone.
