Chapter 519: Chapter 128: Spirit Root Sensitivity: 83 Points!

Wangchuan Lake,

Lake Heart Island Cultivation Room,

Zhou Xun looked at the Spirit Testing Disc in front of him and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Wood Spirit Root Sensitivity, eighty-two points!"

A month ago, Zhou Xun visited the Celestial Profound Secret Realm again and received a Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Medicine from his incarnation.

Afterward, using the Spring Condensation Scripture, he successfully extracted the essence of the spirit medicine, further enhancing his Spirit Root Talent.

Currently, Zhou Xun still has two Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Medicines, but one of them is the Golden Bamboo Palm, which he has already extracted essence from and can’t use again to enhance his spirit root.

There’s also only one Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Medicine, aside from which there’s nothing else that can be used to improve his spirit root.

"After this closed-door training ends, I must venture out!"

But before that, Zhou Xun wanted to test his current cultivation speed,

so he sat cross-legged on the ground and operated the spell of the Spirit Wood True Technique,

Spiritual Qi permeated through his body into his meridians, then circulated for one Grand Circulation before finally entering the golden inner core in his dantian.

"Indeed, the speed of refining Spiritual Qi has increased slightly!"

"At this speed, in at most thirty years, I will reach the Middle-Stage Core Formation!"

He then withdrew the Spirit Testing Disc into his Storage Bag.

Next, with a flick of his hand, he took out a pill bottle, which contained the elixir suitable for Wood Attribute Cultivators that Zhou Xun had refined — Wood Element Pill.

If it weren’t for the trip to the Celestial Profound Secret Realm over ten years ago, Zhou Xun would not have gathered the materials.

Removing the cork, he poured out a thumb-sized, milky white smooth pill, slowly placing it into his mouth.

As the medicinal power surged, Zhou Xun operated the spell without hesitation and began the refinement.

...

Time passed swiftly, and a year flew by.

Suddenly sensing something during his seclusion, Zhou Xun looked toward the back cliff.

There, a giant earth-yellow sphere over a dozen yards across was suspended in the air, and at the same time, Spiritual Qi from the entire Wangchuan Lake continuously converged towards the sphere.

"Finally about to break through!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, after the advancement of the Cyan Gold Flood Dragon, now the pangolin was also about to break through.

So he simply stopped cultivating and approached the lakeside.

As time went by, after seven days, all the celestial phenomena completely disappeared.

A golden-striped pangolin appeared before Zhou Xun, with runes etched on its shell, incredibly mysterious.

"Tier Three Demon King!"

Zhou Xun happily patted the pangolin’s head.

"Master!"

A young boy’s voice came from the pangolin’s mouth.

Among all the spirit beasts Zhou Xun had, the pangolin was the only one he had nurtured from a Spirit Beast Egg, holding significant meaning.

Thus, all the Spirit Beasts Zhou Xun had reached the Tier Three level.

...

Time flowed like water, another year passed.

Within the cultivation room,

this day, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on a cushion, operating the Purple Sky Thunder Technique, constantly refining Spiritual Qi into mana, merging it into the inner core in his dantian.

After years of cultivation, he had already passed halfway towards reaching the Peak of Middle-Stage Core Formation.

At this moment, a stir on his waist suddenly woke him up.

Zhou Xun’s eyes snapped open, looking towards his waist, only to see his Blood Demon Bag quivering continuously.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun pondered thoughtfully, then lightly tapped, causing five rays of blood light to fly out, landing in front of him.

"Roar Roar!"

As soon as Jia Yi to Jia Wu emerged, they roared excitedly, lined up and suspended in the air.

Currently, their entire being brimming with blood energy, they emanated an impressive momentum, akin to facing five primeval beasts.

"This is... Tier Three Middle-Grade Peak!"

These five Blood Demon Children, except Jia Yi, had all reached the Tier Three Middle-Grade Peak level.

No wonder they were so excited,

deserving of Zhou Xun’s expenditure of thirteen Blood Demon Crystals in cultivating them.

"Previously, four low-grade with one middle-grade were enough to contend evenly with ordinary Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivators, now with four middle-grade and one high-grade,"

"their prowess has increased more than double!"

"With them joining forces, facing a Nascent Soul Cultivator, they could probably withstand one or two moves now!"

However, for them to advance further, they would require Tier Three High-Grade Blood Demon Crystals next!

These can only be extracted from Blood Demon Children refined from the flesh of Peak Core Formation Cultivators!

"Unless there’s another Celestial Profound Secret Realm battle, it would be hard to gather enough!"

Zhou Xun sighed, but fortunately, their current strength was adequate for roaming the Core Formation Stage.

...

Time continued to flow, passing another twelve years.

This year, Zhou Xun was one hundred and twelve years old.

Nine years ago, his last Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine, which could enhance his spirit root, was depleted.

However, his spirit root successfully improved to eighty-three points thanks to it. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Over the years, Zhou Xun remained unaware that the friction between the Human and Sea Races in the South Sea Cultivation Realm was growing heavier.

It’s common for entire human-inhabited islands to be annihilated by demon beasts, becoming mere blood offerings.

In response, the Human Race formed numerous groups to continuously venture out to hunt demons.

One by one, Great Demons were slain, and even two Tier Four Demon Emperors fell by human cultivators’ hands.

To such an extent, many Human Race Cultivators realized that a war between them and the Sea Race was inevitable.

...

Sea Suppression Immortal City is the largest Immortal City in the South Sea Cultivation Realm,

situated at the border between the Human and Sea Races in the South Sea, and it’s also the only Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Vein in the South Sea Human Territory.

Three thousand years ago, Human Race Cultivators constructed Sea Suppression Immortal City here to prevent another incursion from the South Sea Demon Race.

Jointly governed by the Three Great Influences of the Central Continent, each sends Nascent Soul Cultivators to oversee the city.

Meanwhile, whenever a talented cultivator from major sects in the South Sea Cultivation Realm breaks through to Nascent Soul, they will also come to reside in Sea Suppression Immortal City.

For one, it’s the only place in the South Sea region where a Tier Four Spirit Vein provides support for cultivation,

Secondly, they guard this key marine location for the Human Race!

On this day, deep in Sea Suppression Immortal City, a grand hall opened its arrays, convening over a dozen Nascent Soul Cultivators from within the city.

"True Monarch Qianchuan, in recent years, Sea Race has incessantly encroached upon our Human Race, and now it’s escalating even further, likely not more than ten years before the repeat of the great war three thousand years ago!"

An elderly man in green robes with graying hair and a slender face spoke up.

"No need for ten years, I reckon the war will break out this year!" A tall elder with tousled beard and hair snorted coldly.

"Elder Hong has it right!" At this, True Monarch Qianchuan, seated at the head, nodded and continued:

"According to reliable sources, the South Abyss Race nearby has already mobilized, expected to see their army within two months!"

The South Abyss Demon Race is a branch of Sea Demon Beasts, occupying over a billion miles of sea southeast of Sea Suppression Immortal City, with formidable power,

and was the main offensive force of the Sea Race against Central Continent three thousand years ago.

"Why not report to the three Alliance Leaders? With our current manpower in Sea Suppression Immortal City, we fear it’s insufficient to resist the South Abyss Race!"

A middle-aged man hurriedly asked,
