After traveling approximately eighty thousand miles, Zhou Xun arrived once more at that sea island.

Zhou Xun took out the Array Manipulation Command Flag and gave it a gentle wave. A red Spirit Light shot out and struck an empty space in front of him.

Subsequently, ripples appeared in mid-air, and a person-sized entrance emerged there!

Zhou Xun lifted his foot and stepped in,

as pitch-black Yin Qi instantly assaulted him.

Unfazed, Zhou Xun pinched a spell with one hand, and mana surged around him. A transparent blue shimmering shield enveloped him,

Crackle—

Flashes of Thunder Arc flickered, blocking all the invading Yin Qi from outside,

before long, Zhou Xun reached the spot where the Blood Demon Child was buried,

only to see the exposed head had tuned slightly red, with black Runes on the face, appearing eerily unusual!

"Not bad, progressing quickly; at this rate, it should reach Great Success in another five or six years!"

Zhou Xun nodded quietly, then pinched a spell with both hands, pointing at the Blood Demon Child!

"Rise!"

The Blood Demon Child shot up from the ground and suspended in front of Zhou Xun!

Emitting an aura of savagery!

Zhou Xun dispersed his Divine Sense, sensed it, and was extremely satisfied,

then Zhou Xun cast a spell, forcing out seventeen droplets of Essence Blood, which he threw at the Blood Demon Child in front of him!

As the spell altered, the Essence Blood transformed into Blood Talismans, merging into their foreheads.

Then, with a downward wave of his finger,

all seventeen Blood Demon Children fell back into the pit to continue nurturing.

Zhou Xun held the Blood Demon Children made from Late-Stage Core Formation corpses in the highest regard,

once they reach Great Success,

Zhou Xun could extract Tier Three High-Grade Blood Demon Crystals and feed them to his Blood Demon Children,

his prior experience suggested a high chance of nurturing them all to Tier Three High-Grade,

each equivalent to a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator,

and with synergistic secret techniques, they could contend with Nascent Soul Cultivators!

Moreover, they could act independently without consuming Zhou Xun’s own mana, genuine Nascent Soul Level fighters!

After finishing the sacrificial refining, Zhou Xun left the place and returned directly to the Cave Mansion on Celestial Talisman Island.

...

"Greetings, Master!"

Returning to the Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun immediately summoned his sixth disciple, Luo Yuancheng.

"Yuancheng, I have a task for you!"

Without much ado, Zhou Xun directly took out a Jade Scroll, the Runes on it shimmering, clearly with a sophisticated Restriction placed,

and handed it to Luo Yuancheng,

"This letter must be arranged for delivery to Sea Suppression Immortal City, personally delivered to True Monarch Tianci!"

Inside was personally written by Zhou Xun, a request to consult True Monarch Tianci on Nascent Soul Formation.

The effect of the Profound Origin Pill exceeded his expectations, prompting Zhou Xun to advance many plans ahead of schedule.

"Yes, disciple will ensure this task is accomplished!" Luo Yuancheng received the Jade Scroll, bowed, and withdrew.

After his departure,

Zhou Xun also entered the Cultivation Room, took out an Elixir, consumed it, and began cultivation.

Quickly, a year elapsed,

on this particular day, the Restriction in the Cultivation Room flashed—a signal someone was calling him from outside.

Thus Zhou Xun concluded his Cultivation Technique,

sensing the increasingly perfect Inner Core within his Dantian, Zhou Xun displayed a faint smile,

progressing steadily, getting closer to Peak Core Formation.

He then rose, pinched a spell with his hand, casting a Dust-Removal Technique on himself,

feeling refreshed, he opened the door and walked out.

He saw Luo Yuancheng sitting on a stone bench in the hall, waiting, with a green Jade Scroll placed before him.

"Master!"

Luo Yuancheng greeted,

"This is True Monarch Tianci’s reply, I brought it as soon as I received it to report to Master!"

"Hmm, you’ve done well!" Zhou Xun picked up the Jade Scroll and inspected it, finding no sign of being opened,

then cast a spell, pointing at the Jade Scroll,

Snap—

A slight sound, the Restriction was instantly cracked.

This was a kind of transmission Restriction inherited from Tianhan City, understood only by Master Tianci and Zhou Xun,

should anyone attempt forceful cracking, the Restriction would immediately destroy all contents inside,

ensuring high confidentiality.

The Divine Sense probed within, and the words manifested one by one in Zhou Xun’s mind.

True Monarch Tianci thoroughly explained his entire Nascent Soul Formation process without missing a single detail.

Greatly benefiting Zhou Xun,

simultaneously, True Monarch Tianci elaborated on the current situation in Sea Suppression Immortal City within.

After Zhou Xun’s departure, the Human-Demon race situation quickly deteriorated!

The previously stabilizing sides resumed their conflict,

in the short span of a little over two years, the Human Race had already lost four Nascent Soul Cultivators, including a Middle-Stage Nascent Soul.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel surprised,

Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators possess expansive Divine Techniques, capable of surviving decades even without physical form,

furthermore, a bodiless Nascent Soul has even more mysterious Divine Techniques, with the ability of Instant Teleportation, appearing thousands of feet away.

Killing them is nearly impossible,

even a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator finds it extremely difficult to hunt down a Nascent Soul Cultivator undergoing Soul Emergence,

thus at the Nascent Soul Stage, defeating is easy, but killing extremely challenging.

Unless one possesses a rare Void Treasure, capable of sealing void space, hindering Instant Teleportation, only then could one easily kill!

But such treasures are exceedingly rare, even among the hundreds of Nascent Soul Sects in Central Province, barely a dozen exist,

most are even Sect inheritance treasures, seldom utilized,

could it be, the Demon Race has acquired such treasures?

As expected, the Demon Race originally only had four Void Treasures, and Sea Suppression Immortal City also had four,

Void Treasures could mutually respond, exactly counterbalancing the opposing sealing power of void!

Unexpectedly, the South Abyss Demon Emperor acquired a new Void Treasure, of green jade color throughout, resembling an exquisite Jade Cup with engraved Runes, exceedingly mysterious!

It was precisely due to this treasure’s emergence that it caught the Human Race unprepared, resulting in four Nascent Soul casualties!

Hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency!

The struggle between Humans and Demons intensified; the true war was likely not far off!

"Rapid cultivation is imperative; it’s best to break through to Nascent Soul before the war, so as to secure enough leverage in the war and exchange for Cultivation Resources!"

Zhou Xun thought, advising Luo Yuancheng to strive toward Core Formation sooner,

then returned to the Cultivation Room, continuing his secluded training.

Time flew by, and another two years passed.

Within the Cultivation Room, on this day Zhou Xun concluded his spell and opened his eyes,

just the day before, the Blood Flame Fruit he had been cultivating for five years successfully reached Tier Four Top-Grade,

simultaneously the set of Tier Three High-Grade Treasure Talismans he was refining had completed nurturing, paired with the Celestial Spirit Talisman Array, forming another Nascent Soul Level method.

For an avatar amidst increasingly tense circumstances, it was a considerable Protector method,

thus he decided to head to the Celestial Profound Secret Realm, deliver the Blood Flame Fruit to the main body, and retrieve the set of Tier Three High-Grade Treasure Talismans.
