Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 373: Chapter 121: Master Nanyue

Hearing this, Zhou Xun looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a square face and broad mouth, exuding an aura of authority, looking at Zhou Xun with surprise.

”Senior Brother Zuo, it is you, I didn’t expect to meet you here!”

This person was Zuo Qifan, the seventeenth disciple of Master White Cloud, and Zhou Xun’s senior brother.

When Zhou Xun first became a disciple under Master White Cloud, Zuo was already at the Foundation Establishment Peak, and now, decades have passed, he still remains in the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Sensing the Core Formation Stage mana emanating from Zhou Xun, Zuo Qifan’s face changed from a smile to a complicated expression, and his voice became a bit stammering.

”Junior brother, you... you really formed a core!”

The junior brother, who was at the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment before, has already formed a core, while he still hasn’t found the path to advancement!

”It was just a lucky breakthrough, I can see that senior brother’s mana is abundant, the day of your breakthrough is not far off!” Zhou Xun responded with a faint smile.

”Junior brother praises me too much. Who might this elder be?”

Zuo Qifan asked as he cast his gaze towards Master Profound Cloud beside him.

”Oh, I haven’t introduced him. This is Master Profound Cloud, the Grand Elder of the Profound Cloud Sect in Fengg Country, also attending the Tianhan Grand Assembly!”

”So it’s Elder Profound Cloud, disciple Zuo Qifan, seventeenth disciple under Master White Cloud, pays respects to the elder!” Zuo Qifan cupped his hands and greeted respectfully.

”No need for excessive courtesy, young friend. With Fengg and Xuu Countries neighboring each other, and us in Tianhan City, we can be considered fellow countrymen!”

Elder Profound Cloud laughed heartily and warmly.

”Junior Brother Zhou, and Elder Profound Cloud, since we’ve met again, why don’t we visit my cave mansion? As of now, I’m staying at Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue’s dojo!”

”Not only me, but also Senior Brother Lv and Junior Brother Ding are staying there!”

”If Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue learns that Junior Brother Zhou is here, I’m sure he will be very happy.”

Zuo Qifan extended an invitation.

”Would it be too abrupt,” asked Elder Profound Cloud from the side.

”It’s no bother. To be honest, Daoist Profound Cloud, this trip to Tianhan City is not only to attend the Tianhan Grand Assembly, but also to meet Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue as he invited me,”

”I was supposed to pay a visit anyway, and since I can’t find accommodation in the city, haha, I’ll have to ask Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue for shelter,”

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

His relationship with Master Nanyue was very good, akin to a half-mentor relationship.

”That would be excellent!”

Zuo Qifan nodded and immediately led Zhou Xun and the others to Master Nanyue’s dojo.

...

Tianhan City is different from ordinary Immortal Cities, built layer upon layer along Tianhan Mountain with a total of thirty-six layers!

Master Nanyue’s dojo is on the thirty-third layer!

They followed the main road forward and, after about half an hour, Zhou Xun and the group finally reached Master Nanyue’s dojo.

Master Nanyue’s dojo was immense, occupying almost half of the thirty-third layer,

”Junior Brother Zhou, here is Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue’s dojo.”

Zuo Qifan pointed to the majestic cluster of buildings and said.

Zhou Xun looked, seeing palaces built against the mountain, with conveniently spaced towers and pavilions!

”What a grand dojo!” Zhou Xun praised, then followed Zuo Qifan inside.

Afterward, under his guidance, they went to meet Master Nanyue!

...

Upon hearing Zhou Xun’s arrival, Master Nanyue immediately put down the array scripture he was holding and came to meet him.

”Zhou Xun pays respects to Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue!”

Seeing the familiar elder before him, Zhou Xun stepped forward and bowed deeply,

Even though his strength might not be inferior to the elder’s now, Zhou Xun still showed great respect.

Back when Zhou Xun secured his own dojo despite the pressure from the Cloud Light Sect,

the Celestial Spirit Five Elements Array set up by Master Nanyue played a crucial role.

Zhou Xun was always grateful for that.

In addition, during the time at Wangchuan Lake, Master Nanyue imparted a vast amount of array knowledge to Zhou Xun.

Without reservation, he taught him everything he knew, which was why Zhou Xun achieved the status of a Quasi-Third Tier Array Master so quickly.

”Zhou Xun!”

Master Nanyue looked at the elegant young man before him, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes.

To him, Zhou Xun was not only a friend, the direct disciple of Master White Cloud, but could also be considered his successor.

All his array techniques had been imparted to him without reservation.

What he didn’t expect was that Zhou Xun would quickly become a Core Formation Cultivator.

This was a pleasant surprise! Seeing Zhou Xun still as respectful as before, Master Nanyue felt reassured in his judgment of him.

It was only a pity that he had already acknowledged another master, his old friend Master White Cloud, otherwise he would have surely accepted him as an heir.

”It’s been many years since we’ve met, Junior Martial Uncle remains as impressive as ever, this junior is delighted!”

”Hahaha, you are the one who surprises people, not only have you advanced to the Core Formation Stage in just over twenty years, but you also managed to defeat the Late-Stage Core Formation Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect!”

”If Daoist Brother White Cloud knew of your current achievements, he would surely feel gratified!”

Master Nanyue joyfully stroked his beard.

”I owe today’s achievements to the Celestial Spirit Five Elements Array that Junior Martial Uncle left behind. Without it, I might have fallen during the Celestial Feather Sect’s ambush back then!”

Zhou Xun said earnestly.

”You flatter me too much!”

Master Nanyue shifted the conversation and continued:

”I am delighted that you could come this time!”

After all, with Zhou Xun’s current strength, he was on par with him and even if ignored, there wasn’t much he could do!

”How could I not come if Junior Martial Uncle summons me? Although the message in the letter was brief, I wonder what guidance you might have?”

Zhou Xun followed up on Master Nanyue’s words!

”This matter is rather long-winded, let’s wait until we meet Master Tianci, and then I will detail everything clearly!”

Master Nanyue didn’t directly reveal the purpose of his letter,

”It’s your first time visiting Tianhan City, why don’t you go out and see the local customs, and taste the local delicacies! It won’t disappoint you!”

”As for the matter in the letter, I will personally introduce you to Master Tianci tomorrow, then he will explain everything to you in detail!”

”Very well!”

Zhou Xun did not insist,

Then, he and Master Nanyue discussed the path of arrays, with his current Quasi-Third Tier level of array skill, he could converse back and forth with Master Nanyue.

Impressing Master Nanyue greatly.

”Are your current array skills at the Quasi-Third Tier?”

”Junior Martial Uncle has a keen eye!” Zhou Xun flattered.

”Even at my prime, I did not progress as rapidly as you have, it seems our Eastern Wilderness is about to welcome a Tier Three High-Grade Array Grandmaster!”

The two chatted for a long time, until late at night, before Zhou Xun took his leave.

Then, following Master Nanyue’s arrangements, Zhou Xun stayed in one of the few Tier Three High-Grade Cave Mansions in the dojo.

Early the next morning, just after Zhou Xun finished breakfast, a streak of fire arrived outside the gate and hovered over the cave mansion’s restriction.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun directed a spirit light onto the talisman.

Immediately, an aged and powerful voice came in.

”Nephew, Daoist Brother Tianci is visiting personally!”
