Chapter 538: Chapter 147: The Fourth Nascent Soul Spiritual Object!

Ringless Island lies thirty thousand miles north of Celestial Talisman Island,

originally just an ordinary Tier Two Spirit Island, with only a simple Tier Two Spirit Vein,

due to the war between the Human-Demon Races, was upgraded by a Human Race True Monarch Nascent Soul using Great Divine Techniques to merge various Spiritual Eye objects,

eventually elevating it to a Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Vein,

and later, relying on this Spirit Vein, built a Tier Three Top-Grade Array as a bastion against the Demon Race’s invasion in the Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region.

Master Iron Mountain is the current Human Race True Monarch Nascent Soul stationed here.

On this day, twenty miles away from Ringless Island,

a giant demon beast with a tiger’s head, a leopard’s body, and wings on its back, flew slowly towards the island,

on top of this great demon stood a Human Race Cultivator,

dressed in a green robe, with a handsome and refined appearance, standing with hands clasped behind his back, approximately twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

"Less than a half-day to cover thirty thousand miles. It seems, Old Feng, that your Cultivation has improved once again!"

A warm male voice spoke.

"You flatter me, master. It was only after receiving Marquis Feng Yu’s favor last time and learning many of the Demon Race’s Secret Techniques that I improved!"

"This is indeed your chance arriving!"

As they were speaking, Celestial Ring Island arrived in sight.

Such a massive demon beast naturally attracted the attention of the guards,

only to see two figures flying out from the island to meet them.

"Ahead is the vital ground of our Human Race. May I ask what brings this Daoist friend here?"

These two appeared to be in their thirties or forties,

perhaps sensing the Tier Three High-Grade Demon Beast aura on the Earth Element Beast, their initial aggressive demeanor instantly became amiable.

"I am Wang Lin, here to visit True Monarch Iron Mountain. I kindly ask the Daoist friend to pass on the message."

Zhou Xun, with a smile, spoke unhurriedly.

"Wang Lin?"

"Could it be Daoist Wang Lin, who repelled the South Abyss Royal Family at Celestial Talisman Island? I am Xu Ziling, and this is Lan Yanping. Greetings, Daoist friend!"

Upon hearing Wang Lin’s name, the two immediately became cordial.

"Does Daoist friend also know my name?" Zhou Xun said in surprise.

"Your name has long spread throughout the Celestial Talisman Island Sea Region, echoed like thunder. Meeting you in person is indeed a fortunate event in one’s life!"

"You’re too kind; my insignificant fame is not worth mentioning!" Zhou Xun waved his hand.

"Since Daoist friend comes to visit True Monarch Iron Mountain, please follow me!"

"Thank you!"

With that, Zhou Xun followed the two, flying straight into Ringless Island.

At this time, Ringless Island was covered with Restrictions, Runes flashing everywhere in sight.

"To counter the Demon Race attack, we have transformed this Ringless Island into a fortress. Unless they have twice our manpower, they absolutely cannot break in!"

Xu Ziling introduced as they walked,

finally leading Zhou Xun to a guest pavilion,

"I kindly ask Daoist Wang to wait here and taste our Ringless Island’s Spirit Tea while I go report to the True Monarch!"

Xu Ziling said, brewing a pot of Spirit Tea for Zhou Xun before turning to leave,

after half a cup of tea’s time, sounds came from outside,

"Hahaha!"

A hearty laugh came, followed by a tall figure walking in, with Xu Ziling trailing behind, extremely respectful.

It was True Monarch Iron Mountain!

"Daoist Brother Iron Mountain, I haven’t yet congratulated you on successfully forming your Nascent Soul!" Zhou Xun stood up, smiling in congratulations.

"Old friend, you should have come directly to my Cave Mansion without staying here," saying this, he grabbed Zhou Xun’s arm, ready to leave!

Seeing this, Xu Ziling couldn’t help but sweat, glad he hadn’t shown disrespect to Zhou Xun, or risk unimaginable consequences.

Who would have thought his relationship with True Monarch Iron Mountain was this close?

Arriving at Master Iron Mountain’s Cave Mansion, the two sat across from each other.

"Old friend, you finally decided to leave seclusion!" Master Iron Mountain said, pouring a cup of Spirit Wine for Zhou Xun.

True Monarch Iron Mountain, unlike True Monarch Tianci, doesn’t love Spirit Tea but prefers Spirit Wine.

"After twenty years of seclusion, finally breaking through to Late-Stage, it was natural to come out and see!"

Zhou Xun raised his glass, clinking it with True Monarch Iron Mountain’s, downing it in one go.

"Old friend’s Cultivation speed is truly unmatched. I remember you’re still under a hundred and fifty?"

Master Iron Mountain couldn’t help but sigh.

He, Hu Tieshan, also with extraordinary talent, an Earth Spirit Root of seventy-six points, established his Foundation at thirty, reached Core Formation at one hundred and twenty, reached Late-Stage Core Formation at three hundred seventy. He could rank among the top in the Eastern Wilderness,

but compared to Zhou Xun, his Cultivation seemed wasted!

"One hundred forty-one!"

Zhou Xun nodded,

"A Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator at one hundred forty, it seems the myth of forming a Nascent Soul at two hundred in the scriptures might come true on old friend!"

Master Iron Mountain marveled!

"All thanks to the support of many Daoist friends!" Zhou Xun replied, then suddenly asked:

"By the way, Daoist Brother, when did you form your Nascent Soul?"

"In your third year of seclusion, True Monarch Celestial One of the Righteous Alliance brought the first batch of Spiritual Objects to Sea Suppression Immortal City,"

"Brother Ji exchanged all his battle merits for a Nascent Soul Pill for me, relying on which I luckily succeeded. Nine years have passed since!"

Speaking of True Monarch Tianci, the man couldn’t help but show gratitude.

"Where is True Monarch Tianci now?"

"Brother Ji has a good relationship with True Monarch Celestial One and is currently stationed at Sea Suppression Immortal City!"

"True Monarch Celestial One, the first Cultivator of the righteous path, and Daoist Brother Tianci, the Eastern Wilderness’s first Cultivator, naturally have a lot to discuss, haha!" Zhou Xun laughed heartily.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" At this moment, Master Iron Mountain patted his Storage Bag, taking out a foot-long Jade Box, placing it in front of Zhou Xun,

"This is... Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine—Blood Flame Fruit!"

Zhou Xun opened the lid to reveal a Spirit Medicine, entirely crimson, with a few blood-red fruits hanging on it!

"Indeed, this is what Brother Ji exchanged for you, and he asked me to bring it to you!"

Master Iron Mountain explained.

"Daoist Brother Tianci truly is..." Zhou Xun couldn’t help but express his gratitude, indeed, True Monarch Tianci is a sincere person.

He waved his hand, putting the Spirit Medicine into his Storage Bag.

Then the two discussed Dao for a long time until the eighth day before Zhou Xun finally took his leave.

"Old friend, do visit me often when you have time. It’s quite lonely here by myself!"

"Certainly, now that we’re just thirty thousand miles apart, I can come anytime!"

With that, Zhou Xun soared into the air, leaped onto the Earth Element Beast’s back, turned into a Spirit Light, and flew towards Celestial Talisman Island.

...

Halfway to his destination, Zhou Xun encountered Luo Yuancheng, who had come to deliver a message.

He appeared anxious, hurrying along the road.

As if almost exhausting his Mana!

Relieved upon seeing Zhou Xun’s Earth Element Beast.

"Nephew, why such haste?"

Zhou Xun summoned Luo Yuancheng to the Earth Element Beast’s back, asking.

"Senior, you may not know, but there’s news of the ’Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng’!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun was greatly surprised,

"What, tell me more!"

Luo Yuancheng immediately relayed the news he had received.
