Chapter 779: Chapter 90: The First Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Alliance Assembly! (Part 2)

Zhou Jingsong’s eldest son is now fully developing their Zhou family on Jimin Mountain, while the second son, Zhou Ping, is sitting at Wangchuan Lake on duty,

even though he only has Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, his position is high and influential!

His influence at Wangchuan Lake is tremendous, so much so that even Core Formation Cultivators must treat him with respect!

"Well said, since you Realms are so courteous, I will just impose on you, but do not forget the matter of the alliance meeting!"

Saying so, he followed the four to be seated, sitting at the second seat below Master Dongping.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, they started to chat leisurely.

...

At the same time, Zhou Xun also arrived at Dongqi City through the Teleportation Array,

the city is now filled with a tense atmosphere.

The strange activity of the Ghostly Mist is causing unrest among the cultivators in the city, and there are noticeably fewer people on the streets than usual.

Looking at the scene before him, he couldn’t help but sigh.

He had visited Dongqi City quite a few times before,

and the current desolate scene was even more so than when there was no Teleportation Array.

"It seems this Ghostly Mist has scared away quite a few people!"

Zhou Xun then grabbed a middle-aged man with Foundation Establishment Cultivation on the road.

"Who..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt the vast and boundless aura emanating from Zhou Xun,

when he saw Zhou Xun’s face clearly, he revealed an excited expression,

"Wang... True Monarch Wangchuan, this junior pays respect..." he said while attempting to kneel,

Zhou Xun waved his hand to support the man, then said,

"Skip the formalities, I just want to ask you a few things!"

"Please speak, True Monarch!" the middle-aged man said with excitement in his eyes,

"I ask you, the Ghostly Mist outside Dongqi City, how close has the nearest one gotten?"

"Replying to True Monarch, the nearest one is in the northeast direction, and has now reached eighteen thousand miles outside the Immortal City,"

"They all say it will reach the city in two months, at which point the whole of Dongqi City will become a ghost city!" the man answered honestly.

"Eighteen thousand miles, has it gotten so close!" Zhou Xun frowned slightly, then nodded,

taking out a bottle of Tier Two Elixirs and tossing it over,

"Cultivate well!"

Immediately, his body flickered,

the next moment he appeared outside Dongqi City, then, headed towards the northeast, transforming into a Spirit Light and speeding away.

An hour later, Zhou Xun arrived at the spot mentioned by the middle-aged man,

hovering in the air, looking up,

everything he saw was pure blackness,

like a huge monstrous beast, constantly rolling and surging, exuding a hair-raising aura.

Cold and evil, as if it could freeze a person’s soul.

Within the Ghostly Mist, all sorts of eerie lights flickered unpredictably, like demonic eyes hidden in the darkness.

Various ghostly creatures roared and rolled, each with a unique appearance.

Some were like shriveled, humanoid monsters, their bodies withered, ghostly green flames flickering within the eye sockets, clawing through the mist and letting out blood-curdling wails.

Others resembled massive beasts, their bodies gigantic, each roar like thunderclaps, shaking the surrounding mist fiercely.

Yet others floated ghost-like erratically, their forms ethereal, disappearing and reappearing at times, emitting chilling laughter that caught people off guard.

"Judging by this spectacle, it’s indeed far more formidable than before!" Zhou Xun secretly compared them to those at White Cloud Market,

the might here was far stronger, at least several times that of the latter.

He slightly furrowed his brows, pondering countermeasures, but apart from the Tier Four Array, had no better plan,

"Well then, might as well go in and take a look!"

The coming here is but an incarnation, with Thunder Attribute Divine Techniques unparalleled in the world,

and also a nemesis of ghostly creatures; once inside, it would absolutely be like a wolf among sheep,

He acted immediately,

without hesitation, Zhou Xun flew right in,

as his body touched that mist, a cold and dim feeling surged in.

Immediately, a faint sizzling sound came from his body surface,

it turned out that a Mana Shield on Zhou Xun’s body surface had automatically activated, the Thunder Light continuously expending itself against the black mist.

"It seems the power of this mist has also improved, this is not good news for the Eastern Wilderness!"

If these mists indeed could keep getting stronger,

then those previously sealed Ghostly Mists he trapped would probably eventually break through,

one must know, there are nearly sixty Ghostly Mists in the Eastern Wilderness now,

By that time, the entire Eastern Wilderness would be shrouded by this fog, wholly becoming a Ghost Realm.

"No, I must find a way to resolve this!" thought Zhou Xun.

Just at that moment,

"Roar roar!"

The sound of roaring came from afar, getting closer and closer!

"This is... a horde of ghostly creatures arriving!"

Zhou Xun’s expression turned cold; he had already known that the Human Race’s Master Dongye had perished within this Ghostly Mist,

he had a good impression of that person, having met twice,

amidst the inky black mist, a group of ghostly creatures with various forms were surging towards him.

Baring teeth and claws, they exuded an intense aura of evil, moving with incredible speed, darting through the mist like lightning, their eyes flickering with a sinister light, as if eager to devour all life.

Judging by their momentum, quite a few were at the Core Formation Stage.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun snorted coldly,

his hands quickly formed seals, a flash of thunder light,

hundreds of bolts of lightning shot out, instantly vaporizing the ghostly mist along the way, forming channels,

"Rumble—"

almost the next moment, these bolts exploded within the ghostly group,

issuing a series of mournful cries,

in the following moment, these cries grew fewer, quieter, until they vanished entirely!

Looking up, within the inky mist, a gigantic void had formed,

a thousand feet in size, precisely created by Zhou Xun’s earlier strike.

After eliminating this group of ghostly creatures, Zhou Xun continued towards the source,

along the way, he encountered several similar ghostly hordes,

each numbering in the four digits, led by a Tier Three Ghost King, roaming all around,

but under Zhou Xun’s Thunder Divine Techniques, they all turned to ash.

As he delved deeper, the mist grew denser, significantly depleting his mana!

An hour later, he finally reached the source, facing a valley just over ten miles across,

in the center, a chasm several meters wide,

dark as ink mist ceaselessly spewing out, simultaneously various ghostly creatures emerged.

"Such power from a mere rift; if it were a true passage for a large ghost army, what a scene it would be!"

"Even if a True Monarch Nascent Soul came, they might be overwhelmed!"

thought Zhou Xun,

then swiftly forming seals, blasting towards the source, thousands of bolts of lightning roared out,

clearing the massive space!

Following that, he formed seals and cast several spirit lights upon the chasm, temporarily sealing it with a restriction.

But Zhou Xun knew, this was just a stopgap; in a few days, the restriction’s spiritual power would be depleted, and the black mist would surge again,

yet without new fog pouring in, the original ghostly mist ceased spreading and halted.

Having done this, Zhou Xun flew up, starting his return journey.

...

Time passed quickly, and soon October 15th arrived.

On this day, the teleportation array of Wangchuan Immortal City was constantly lighting up, powerful presences appearing one after another,

and if someone probed with a spiritual eye, they’d discover these individuals all had cultivation above Core Formation,

by their appearances, they were the leaders of each Major Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.

The destination of these people was unexpectedly the same,

none other than Wangchuan Hall, the place for meetings in Wangchuan Immortal City.

Meanwhile, at Lake Heart Island, within Jingxin Pavilion,

four figures sat facing each other,

they were Zhou Xun, True Monarch Tianci, True Monarch Iron Mountain, and Master Xingyue,

these four were the only Nascent Soul Cultivators left in Eastern Wilderness.

Learning that Zhou Xun intended to lead the major forces of Eastern Wilderness to confront the Ghostly Mist, they also came along.

"Younger Brother Zhou, with you leading in Eastern Wilderness now, uniting all forces, dealing with the Ghostly Mist should not be an issue!"

"With the support of you esteemed Daoist brothers, what major affair could fail!" Zhou Xun said with a slight smile,

just then, Weih Qiuxin also came forward, cupping hands to report:

"Island Master, all the representatives of the major forces have arrived!"

"Let’s go meet them," he said, transforming into a spirit light, swiftly heading towards Wangchuan Hall.
