Chapter 877: Chapter 139: Cultivation Surges, Reentering the Ghostly Mist Land!

"This ’Spirit-Encompassing Dew’ indeed lives up to its reputation as a treasure that can save Nascent Soul cultivators decades of arduous cultivation, it’s truly extraordinary!"

Then he looked inside the bottle, only to see a pool of golden spirit liquid slowly swirling and shimmering with a captivating luster.

The surrounding spirit charm was overwhelming, captivating at just a glance,

Zhou Xun waved his hand,

A burst of power enveloped a golden liquid the size of a chicken egg, slowly flying out of the bottle,

under his guidance, it gradually flew into his mouth, and he swallowed it!

The spirit liquid entered his belly, instantly transforming into a torrential flood of spiritual power, rampaging through Zhou Xun’s meridians like a wild horse.

Zhou Xun hurriedly activated his cultivation technique, guiding this spiritual power along the route of the "Purple Sky Thunder Technique." His whole body glimmered, and the fluctuation of spiritual power reflected in the cultivation room turned everything purple.

With the circulation of spiritual power, Zhou Xun could clearly sense his cultivation progressing at an incomprehensible speed!

Two days of rest passed in an instant, and Zhou Xun opened his eyes, ceasing his cultivation,

but to his surprise, the spiritual qi within his body began to circulate on its own without anyone’s guidance,

then transformed into pure mana, merging into the Nascent Soul in his dantian.

"I didn’t expect this ’Spirit-Encompassing Dew’ to have such an effect!"

At this pace, it’s estimated that in about a year, this entire dew can be completely refined, at which point his cultivation will reach the peak of early-stage Nascent Soul,

capable of making an attempt to break through to the middle-stage.

...

Exiting the cultivation room’s gate, he saw True Monarch Tianci already waiting there.

"Brother, your cultivation has significantly progressed in just two days!" Seeing Zhou Xun come out, True Monarch Tianci looked over and couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

"Haha, after returning from Central Continent last time, I earned 300 battle merit points and conveniently exchanged them for a treasure, which led to this improvement!" Zhou Xun smiled and said,

"I guess... it’s the ’Spirit-Encompassing Dew’, right?" True Monarch Tianci pondered for a moment before speaking. He also looked at the jade scroll at the battle merit exchange place,

naturally familiar with the treasures inside.

"Indeed it is, but it will still take a year to be fully refined!" Zhou Xun replied.

"That’s good. In a year, you’ll be able to break through to the middle-stage Nascent Soul, and at that point, together we can seize the opportunity to hunt some Tier Four High-Grade Ghost Kings!" True Monarch Tianci said joyfully.

After looking at that jade scroll, many treasures made him quite tempted, but the exchange battle merits on it were daunting,

thus he was highly enthusiastic about obtaining battle merits through ghost hunting.

"I have the same thought, so I exchanged for it!" Zhou Xun nodded in agreement,

the two chatted casually while leaving the base camp,

coming to the outside of the camp, True Monarch Tianci took out his flying shuttle, activated it, and with Zhou Xun, flew towards the Ghostly Mist Land.

...

Meanwhile, in True Monarch Yama’s cave mansion, 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor came to visit again,

"Brother Jin, what brings you here today?" True Monarch Yama invited Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor to sit down and poured a cup of spirit wine, handing it over.

Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor took the spirit wine but did not drink it, instead speaking:

"I heard about Brother Yu’s return, so I rushed over to ask about the matter from last time, how Brother Yu has considered it!"

"Regarding the alliance, I have already asked Daoist Guu, and they have also agreed to this action!"

"However..."

"But what?" Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor hurriedly asked,

"But currently, my fellow Blood Refining Daoist and Daoist Profound Resonance from Central Continent are still in the Ghostly Mist Land, not yet returned, so it may take a while!" True Monarch Yama said.

"No problem, we can wait for their return and then set off together!"

"It’s just that True Monarch Celestial One and True Monarch Nine Swords, it still requires Brother Yu to persuade them not to go in temporarily during this period!"

"That’s certainly no problem, but I want to recommend someone to join the action!" True Monarch Yama said,

"Who might this Daoist be?" Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor asked in surprise,

Among the people from Central Continent, those with Great Cultivator strength are few, and he is very familiar with them, could it be that someone has broken through during this period?

While he was speculating, True Monarch Yama revealed the person:

"It is True Monarch Wangchuan!"

"Him?" Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor asked in surprise,

"True Monarch Zhou indeed has good strength, but this action is to encircle and kill the Tier Four High-Grade Ghost Kings, requiring at least Great Cultivator strength!"

"True Monarch Zhou is just at the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation..." Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear,

implying Zhou Xun’s strength is insufficient.

Seeing this, True Monarch Yama was not surprised but patiently explained:

"Back when our Human-Demon Races clashed, True Monarch Wangchuan’s power nearly reached the threshold of a Great Cultivator. After so many years of cultivation,

his strength now has also undergone an earth-shattering transformation!"

Then, he recounted the event of slaying the Tier Four Middle-Grade Sand Demon King in Quicksand Sea, which finally dispelled the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor’s doubts,

"Since Brother Yu personally guarantees, I naturally have no issue. Let’s count Daoist Zhou in!"

They then discussed the plan’s details for a while before bidding farewell and leaving.

After the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor left,

True Monarch Yama immediately came to Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion, inviting him to partake in the matter. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xun had just gone to the Ghostly Mist Land,

unfortunately missing him!

...

On the other side, Zhou Xun and True Monarch Tianci traveled on the Commodity Treasure Flying Shuttle,

re-entering the range of the ghostly mist within less than half a day.

Then, the two began a journey where neither gods nor Buddhas could stop them,

Unfortunately, Tier Four Ghost Kings were hard to find. Over the next two months, the only targets they managed to kill were some Tier Two and Three Ghost Kings, of little value,

acquiring merely five or six battle merit points.

"Could it be we’ve hunted too many, that the number of Tier Four Ghost Kings is so low!" Zhou Xun stood at the prow of the flying shuttle, his eyes emitting a faint cyan light, deploying the ’Spirit Rhinoceros Cyan Light Pupil,’ searching around for traces of the Ghost Race.

"Yes, last time we just got lucky, that’s how we encountered an entire ghostly army!" True Monarch Tianci replied,

He felt helpless about this,

The ghostly mist inherently compressed divine sense and vision, in this Ghostly Mist Land spanning a million miles, encountering a Tier Four Ghost King was not easy task.

As the two chatted,

suddenly.....

Zhou Xun’s eyes lit up, spotting to the right front, 150 miles away, a ghostly army hurrying past. A rough estimate showed their number was over a thousand, filled with ghost qi,

The figures of two Tier Four Ghost Kings were clearly visible, both Tier Four Low-Grade!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be overjoyed, they had finally stumbled upon them. Yet he didn’t know why they were rushing so fast,

No matter the reason, he would gladly seize this opportunity!

"Daoist Brother Tianci, there’s a Ghost Race..." Zhou Xun immediately informed True Monarch Tianci of his discovery.

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Tianci couldn’t help but be overjoyed,

He promptly followed Zhou Xun’s directions, urging the flying ship beneath him to quickly pursue the Ghost Race. If slightly delayed, they might have missed them by the edge!

"Daoist Brother, there are two Tier Four Low-Grade Demon Emperors among them. Later, you and I take one each. I’ll first use the Instant Teleportation Technique of the Jun Mang Thunder Spear to attack one first,"

The other will be yours,

As for the rest, I’ll execute the Thunder Array Technique to capture them all in one sweep!"

"Very well, do like you said!" True Monarch Tianci nodded in satisfaction.

After dividing the tasks,

True Monarch Tianci, under Zhou Xun’s guidance, maneuvered the flying ship to hide at the must-pass path of the ghostly army.

Just shortly after stopping,

This group of Ghost Race rushed over,

The next moment,

"Boom!"

A soft thunderous sound echoed, accompanied by a dazzling blue-purple electric light. The leading two Ghost Kings, of which the one on the right, instantly fell!

Simultaneously, nine golden fireballs followed, cutting through the sky, engulfing the other one,

Soon after, waves of thunder light descended to annihilate the entire ghostly presence beneath the sky, even the ghostly mist was swept away, leaving an empty void spanning nearly ten thousand feet.

There were only a thousand ghost pearls floating in the air.

Zhou Xun suddenly appeared there, with a wave of his hand, gathering all the ghost pearls into his storage bag.

"Daoist Brother, we’ve finally opened for business!" Zhou Xun laughed, extremely satisfied with this bounty.

"Indeed!" True Monarch Tianci nodded,

Amid their conversation and laughter,

suddenly—

A fluctuation of spiritual qi arrived rapidly from a distance, continuing to draw nearer, reaching within a hundred miles of them in an instant,

Zhou Xun cast the ’Spirit Rhinoceros Cyan Light Pupil’ toward the direction, and couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment,

"It’s him, the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor!"
