Chapter 873: Chapter 137: Setting Out and Arranging the Teleportation Array

Then he gave orders to the black-faced man beside him, who had a nose ring and a pair of bull horns on his forehead:

"Old Bull!"

"Yes!"

The man cupped his hands in response, and then, with a flash of cyan light,

transformed into a Barbaric Ox over twenty zhang in size, entirely cyan-black in color, with wings spanning over fifty zhang on its back!

It was the true form of the Thunder Tyrant Bull.

"Younger Brother, come!" True Monarch Yama said, jumping onto the bull’s back in a leap,

Zhou Xun followed suit!

"Move out!"

With the decree from True Monarch Yama,

the Thunder Tyrant Bull flapped its wings, and thunder light appeared, transforming directly into a streak of thunder light, speeding away!

It was indeed the Thunder Escape Technique!

This Thunder Tyrant Bull was actually a Thunder Attribute demon beast, mastering the Thunder Escape Technique.

In terms of speed, it was likely not inferior to ordinary Great Cultivators, possibly even surpassing them.

"Daoist Brother, this mount of yours not only possesses astonishing power, but its speed is also top-notch. Truly enviable!" Zhou Xun exclaimed,

"Younger Brother, stop with the flattery. Who doesn’t know you have two Tier Four demon beasts under your command!" True Monarch Yama laughed,

In their laughter and conversation, tens of thousands of miles passed by.

Just then, Zhou Xun waved his hand, taking out his Celestial Secret Cave Mansion, laying it ahead,

transforming it into a temporary cave mansion appearing on the bull’s back,

"Daoist Brother, the journey is long. Why don’t we take a rest inside?" Zhou Xun invited,

"This... isn’t this the legendary Celestial Secret Cave Mansion? Younger Brother has such a treasure, it’s truly fortunate!"

This Celestial Secret Cave Mansion, judging by the refining materials alone, was enough to create a Top-Grade Magical Treasure,

plus the spatial wonder it contains, making it extremely rare,

there are hardly any in the Human Realm.

True Monarch Yama’s eyes were full of amazement and curiosity, following Zhou Xun into the Celestial Secret Cave Mansion.

Inside the mansion, True Monarch Yama looked around, and although the internal space seemed small, its layout was exquisitely reasonable, fully equipped with various facilities.

Luminous Pearls embedded in the walls emitted a gentle glow, making the entire mansion bright, but not blinding.

"Younger Brother, the interior arrangement of this Celestial Secret Cave Mansion is also uniquely ingenious, truly a magnificent treasure." True Monarch Yama praised.

Zhou Xun replied with a smile, "Daoist Brother is too flattering. I came across this mansion by chance, making my daily cultivation much more convenient."

Sitting beside the stone table in the mansion, Zhou Xun took out a tea set, and also some Spirit Fruit to entertain True Monarch Yama,

while drinking tea and discussing insights.

Being a Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator, True Monarch Yama’s suggestions and perspectives gave Zhou Xun great enlightenment, immensely benefiting him!

Afterward, True Monarch Yama settled in the mansion.

In the Cultivation Room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on the ground,

patting his waist, a Spirit Light flew out, transforming into a foot-long wooden box landing in front.

Attached on top was a Tier Four Low-Grade Spirit-Sealing Talisman.

He waved his hand, removing the talisman, opening the lid,

revealing a half-foot tall Spirit Grass with pale blue leaves before him, precisely the Tier Four Middle-Grade ’Primordial Grass’ he previously exchanged for!

Today, Zhou Xun planned to refine it into his Lifebound Spirit Plant, and then using Spirit Medicine Essence,

cultivate it to Tier Four Top-Grade!

Looking at the Primordial Grass before him, Zhou Xun didn’t rush to take action,

closing his eyes slightly, meditating to adjust his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to their optimal state,

he slowly opened his eyes, flashing with keen brilliance.

Following the incantations from the Secret Technique, he separated a strand of Essence Blood, transforming it into a Blood Talisman,

then directed it towards the Primordial Grass.

The Blood Talisman fused into the Primordial Grass upon contact, emitting a faint blood glow,

then Zhou Xun sealed with his hands, chanting continuously, threads of Spiritual Power shot from his fingertips, entangling the Primordial Grass.

This process was to gradually integrate his imprint into the Lifebound Spirit Plant, establishing a connection with it.

This process was remarkably similar to taming a Spirit Beast.

Half a day later, Zhou Xun succeeded in the refinement, establishing a subtle connection with the Yuan Condensing Grass.

Next, Zhou Xun divided a portion of his Divine Sense and injected it into the Yuan Condensing Grass, beginning the prolonged sacrificial refining process.

Ten days later,

The Primordial Grass was successfully refined,

A thought moved, and the Primordial Grass appeared above his head.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun took out a Tier Three High-Grade ’Purifying Lotus’, a Tier Three Spirit Medicine he had purchased in advance,

For the purpose of condensing essence to quicken the advancement speed of the Primordial Grass.

His hands formed the seals according to the Spring Condensation Scripture’s incantations, pointing toward the Purifying Lotus,

In a short while, a thumb-sized green light dot emerged, which Zhou Xun then guided to merge into the ’Primordial Grass’,

As the green light dot slowly integrated into the Primordial Grass, its leaves gently trembled, as if greedily absorbing this pure essence of medicinal power.

Next was the waiting, followed by feeding an essence of Spirit Medicine at intervals.

Based on his past experience, just five years are needed for this Primordial Grass to advance to Tier Four Top-Grade,

Sufficient to enhance the main body’s Spirit Root Sensitivity by one point, reaching ninety-five points.

...

Thus Zhou Xun got up and walked out from the Cultivation Room, heading straight to the back of the Barbaric Ox,

By now, a full month had passed since their departure, and they had formally stepped into the region of the Quicksand Sea,

Where turbulent winds persist all year round, only Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators can safely traverse.

The former army of cultivators could only cross this vast, millions of miles’ expanse of Quicksand Sea by relying on the War Flying Ship!

Zhou Xun stood on the back of the Barbaric Ox, feeling the fierce winds roaring around, he circulated Spiritual Power to form a shield on his body, resisting the ravages of the winds.

True Monarch Yama did the same, both exchanged a smile, prepared though they were for the environment of the Quicksand Sea, they dared not be careless.

"Younger Brother Zhou, though this Quicksand Sea is perilous, it nurtures many rare treasures. If given the chance, we could explore." True Monarch Yama suggested.

Zhou Xun nodded in agreement: "Daoist Brother speaks truthfully, pity we are burdened with more pressing tasks!"

Speaking of which, Zhou Xun’s exploration of the Thunder Prison’s entrance was indeed within this Quicksand Sea,

He still remembers encountering a Tier Five Spirit Medicine in the Thunder Prison, but alas, his powers were insufficient to harvest it!

’Fortunately, every hundred years, the Thunder Prison intersects with the Human Realm, domain barriers become extremely thin, granting another chance for entry!’

Now, less than sixty years had passed since he last explored the Thunder Prison, giving him forty years to prepare.

The Thunder Tyrant Bull flew steadily through the tempest, its speed though slowed by the gale, progressed unfalteringly due to its formidable strength and Thunder Escape Technique.

Suddenly, a massive sandstorm emerged ahead like a dragon rampant across the Quicksand Sea, warping space wherever it went.

"Master, the sandstorm is too fierce ahead, forcing through might be dangerous." The Thunder Tyrant Bull cautioned.

True Monarch Yama furrowed his brow, after pondering momentarily, he said: "Take a detour, we mustn’t take risks."

The Thunder Tyrant Bull altered direction, heading towards the edge of the sandstorm.

However, just as they were leaving, a swarm of Sand Demons leapt from the sandstorm, spectral in form, their bodies emitted yellow sandy light, they lunged toward Zhou Xun and the others fiercely.

"Humph, mere Sand Demons dare challenge us!" True Monarch Yama snorted coldly, his hand morphing seals, a black Demon Flame shot towards the Sand Demons.

Wherever the Demon Flame reached, the Sand Demons shrieked in agony, consumed by the Demon Flame, turning to dust in an instant!

Zhou Xun wasn’t to be outdone, raising a hand, Thunder Light flickered, bolts of lightning roared forth in synergy with True Monarch Yama’s Demon Flame, pincering the Sand Demon swarm.

In the blink of an eye, they cleared out most of them!

At this moment, a yellow light stormed forward, instantly appearing before both of them,

With a wave of his hand, True Monarch Yama intercepted it!

"This sandstorm even hinders Divine Sense, no wonder these creatures act so boldly!" said True Monarch Yama.

"Daoist Brother, fear not, watch me!"

Zhou Xun’s eyes flickered with Cyan Light, gazing ahead, before long, over a thousand feet away, a ten-foot-large lizard-like Demon Beast emerged within view.

"Found you!"

Flipping his hand,

The "Jun Mang" Thunder Spear appeared instantaneously, he infused it with Mana, hurling it forward!

"Splotch—"

A soft metallic-in-flesh sound came alongside a howl, and then gradually faded, leaving no signs of life!

Next, a three-foot-long Thunder Spear dragged a Demon Corpse, gently landing in front of the two!
