Chapter 531: Chapter 140: Daoist Brother Tianci, We Finally Meet Again!

Amidst the several feet thick Spirit Iron,

a hole the size of a pinky finger penetrated over two feet deep!

One must know, this is Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Iron, fully capable of being the primary material for a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure,

and can even suffice as auxiliary material for some High-Grade Magical Treasures!

"Such power is no less than that of a Peak Core Formation Cultivator!"

This means that Zhou Xun’s mana strength has now reached the level of a Peak Core Formation Cultivator.

"Divine Sense and mana are both on par with ordinary Peak Core Formation Cultivators, which means, aside from the total amount of mana, I am no different from the usual Peak Core Formation Cultivators at present!"

"If I were to don the Celestial Profound Spirit Armor, I might even stand a chance against those newly advanced Nascent Soul Cultivators!"

This is the might of the Immortal Golden Core.

It allows one to exert combat strength beyond their cultivation level.

Storing the Spirit Iron in his Storage Bag, Zhou Xun walked out of the Cultivation Room.

...

"Junior Brother Zhou, congratulations on your breakthrough in cultivation!" Xing Huai’an expressed his congratulations as he entered the Cave Mansion, with an indescribable look in his eyes.

Back then, when both were disciples under Master White Cloud, he was the foremost in talent, with a bright future,

while Zhou Xun was taken in as a Registered Disciple due to his Alchemy Talent, accepted mainly to refine Crystal Condensing Pills for him by Master White Cloud.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xun instead became someone he had to look up to. Such is the unpredictable nature of the world!

"Senior Brother flatters me!" Zhou Xun returned the gesture with a salute,

while Xing Huai’an was still in the Early-Stage Core Formation, and with the quality of his Low-Grade True Pill, without a special opportunity, he might remain at this level for life.

"Who would have thought that Junior Brother would become so remarkable? If in the future, Eastern Wilderness sees someone break through to Nascent Soul, it’s bound to be Junior Brother!"

At this moment, Yuan Pan’er also entered, smiling brightly at Zhou Xun, her eyes showing genuine sincerity.

It’s a pity the pill she condensed is just a Fake Pill, forever unable to progress!

Song Yiqing held Yuan Pan’er’s hand, standing beside her.

Now, she had impressively reached the peak of Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment. Given her aptitude comparable to a Celestial Spirit Root,

within thirty years, she could cultivate to Foundation Establishment Peak and aim for Core Formation.

Who would have believed that the woman once deemed a concubine would have such fortune now!

Her Spirit Pet was only a short distance from Tier Two Peak, and breaking through to Tier Three was just a matter of years.

Then Zhou Xun took out Tier Three Spirit Wine, paired with Tier Two High-Grade Red Spirit Dragon Fish,

and started a discussion on Tao with Xing Huai’an and the others.

Zhou Xun, now at Middle-Stage Core Formation, had also encountered a wealth of scriptures in the Central Continent Cultivation Realm, his knowledge profound,

earning the admiration of Xing Huai’an and others,

acknowledging that Zhou Xun’s achievements were truly well-deserved!

...

Sea Suppression Immortal City,

After leaving Celestial Talisman Island, Luo Yuancheng hurried towards Sea Suppression Immortal City,

The Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region had been incredibly stable since Zhou Xun repelled the Beast Tide, a rare haven of peace in the entire South Sea Cultivation Realm.

Luo Yuancheng passed through this section of the journey without issue.

But the rest of the journey was fraught with challenges,

encountering Tier Three Sea Beasts more than once, but luckily, Zhou Xun’s Tier Three Escape Talisman allowed him to escape smoothly.

A journey supposed to take a month ended up spanning over four months before he reached Sea Suppression Immortal City.

Upon entering the Immortal City, Luo Yuancheng went straight to the temporary Cave Mansion where True Monarch Tianci resided, as per the information he had gathered.

However, he was stopped by the guards before reaching the Cave Mansion,

for a residence of a leading Nascent Soul True Monarch was not a place one could casually enter.

With no other options, Luo Yuancheng sought out Master Huadu.

Being a familiar face in Sea Suppression Immortal City, Master Huadu had no barriers to entry.

After Luo Yuancheng explained his purpose, Master Huadu immediately showed interest.

"You’re saying that Daoist Brother Wang and True Monarch Tianci are old acquaintances?"

"Indeed!"

Having something to ask from him, Luo Yuancheng did not conceal anything.

Master Huadu was intrigued upon hearing this.

He had long wished to befriend this newly emerged Nascent Soul cultivator but had never found a good reason,

and now was the perfect opportunity.

Thus, under Master Huadu’s lead, Luo Yuancheng arrived at True Monarch Tianci’s Cave Mansion.

At that moment, True Monarch Tianci was drinking with Master Iron Mountain in the Cave Mansion,

when suddenly a flame flew in, hovering above the array.

Seeing this, Master Iron Mountain laughed heartily:

"Brother Ji, you are quite the sought-after in Sea Suppression Immortal City now, with visitors every day!"

True Monarch Tianci sighed helplessly in response!

He had come to the South Sea originally intending to hunt some Demon Beasts to fill his empty pockets.

Who would have thought he’d walk into a Human-Demon War?

With True Monarch Tianci’s nature, he couldn’t just sit by, so he boldly engaged.

With his Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivation, enhanced by the Celestial Profound Spirit Armor, his combat strength matched that of ordinary Middle-Stage cultivators,

and thus, in the war, True Monarch Tianci shone brightly, killing a Tier Four Low-Grade Demon Snake,

gaining great fame, his name renowned throughout the South Sea!

"Alas, had I known, I would never have come to this South Sea!" True Monarch Tianci lamented helplessly.

Saying this, he was about to destroy the Sound Transmission Talisman!

"Hey, don’t rush, have a look first, maybe it’s something urgent?"

Master Iron Mountain, known for his kindness and geniality, quickly intervened, while casting a Spirit Light at the Talisman,

instantly, a young man’s voice sounded out.

...

Outside the Cave Mansion, Master Huadu looked skeptical,

"You really have a way to make True Monarch Tianci come out and see us?"

One must know, even he wasn’t entertained by True Monarch Tianci.

"Not me, but Elder Wang. With his instructions, it’s bound to work!"

Luo Yuancheng stated with confidence.

"If it’s Daoist Brother Wang, then there’s certainly no problem!" Master Huadu agreed.

...

"An old acquaintance from Tianhan City thirty years ago!"

True Monarch Tianci mulled over this phrase and suddenly realized!

"Could it be that Zhou Xun kid, has he also come to the South Sea?"

"Why not go out and have a look?"

Saying this, the two walked out of the Cave Mansion together and immediately saw Luo Yuancheng and Master Huadu.

"Was the Sound Transmission Talisman from you?" True Monarch Tianci asked.

"It was indeed me!" Luo Yuancheng stepped forward, saluted, and continued,

"I was sent by Elder Wang to deliver a message to you!"

"Elder Wang?" True Monarch Tianci said, puzzled, as he received the letter.

"It must be him, that Zhou Xun kid loves to disguise himself!" Master Iron Mountain joked with a smile.

"It really was that kid!"

"He’s inviting us to Celestial Talisman Island as guests!" True Monarch Tianci happily said.

"Haha, to meet an old friend in a distant land, let’s go then!"

...

A month later, outside Celestial Talisman Island, a Flying Ship slowly approached.

Onboard stood three individuals,

True Monarch Tianci, Master Iron Mountain, and Luo Yuancheng.

Looking at Celestial Talisman Island not far ahead, True Monarch Tianci couldn’t help but sigh,

This place owes its current peace much to Zhou Xun!

At the same time, inside the Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun’s eyes quietly opened, looking toward the Flying Ship,

a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,

"Daoist Brother Tianci, it’s good to see you again!"
