Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 565: Chapter 174: Lin Xueying’s Core Formation!

Seven days later,

a charred flood dragon slowly descended from the sky, greedily absorbing the Emperor’s Liquid that had fallen. This was the greatest reward a demon beast could receive after passing through the Transformation Thunder Tribulation.

Once the Black Island Demon King had absorbed all the essence into his body,

his entire body suddenly emitted a faint light. At the same time, the charred beast hide on his body began to peel off piece by piece,

finally falling to the ground.

After all the charred beast hide had fallen off, an exceptionally majestic flood dragon was revealed,

with dark black runes on its body, appearing extremely peculiar.

At this moment,

the flood dragon flashed with black light,

and its massive body, hundreds of feet long, rapidly contracted and shrunk,

finally transforming into a handsome young man in a black robe, whose singular black horn on his forehead added to his demonic allure.

At this moment, a figure flew into the restricted area,

wearing a brocade robe and exuding authority—the Emperor of the South Abyss Race, the South Abyss Demon Emperor.

”Greetings, Father!” said the Black Island Demon King, bowing.

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, patting the young man on the shoulder, sizing him up, and nodding his head,

”Hahaha, I knew Yu’er would not disappoint me!”

”Thank you, Father, for your protection!”

Only then did the Black Island Demon King realize that during his transformation, the South Abyss Demon King had been guarding him all along.

”You are my son from Black Abyss, so of course, I must protect you!”

The middle-aged man smiled affectionately.

”By the way, now that you’ve just transformed and are still unstable, quickly go into seclusion for some time. After that, you may proceed to the Ancestral Land and Dragon Pool to purify your bloodline!”

”Ancestral Land, Dragon Pool?”

The Black Island Demon Emperor asked in confusion,

”This information is only accessible to flood dragons who have attained the Transformation Stage!”

”We, the flood dragon race, are one of the most powerful clans in the entire Human Realm, ruling over the entire South Sea!”

”We Ink Flood Dragons are a lineage among them; since your grandfather’s time, we have been responsible for controlling the South Abyss area!”

”According to clan rules, after a flood dragon transforms, we must return to the Ancestral Land to undergo the Dragon Pool baptism. Firstly, it purifies the bloodline and enhances potential,”

”Secondly, it allows one to witness the true heritage of our flood dragon race!”

”Father, before heading to the Ancestral Land, may I first visit Celestial Talisman Island?” the young man asked.

”No!” The middle-aged man’s face instantly turned stern at this.

”The Dragon Pool baptism must be conducted within ten years of transformation, or it will not purify the bloodline!”

”From our South Abyss land to the Ancestral Land, the distance is no less than a billion miles, it takes eight or nine years to reach even with full speed!”

”If matters on the Celestial Talisman Island delay your baptism, you’ll likely remain with an Earth-Grade bloodline for life!”

”Do you not know the importance of this?”

Hearing that the Dragon Pool baptism could advance his bloodline to Celestial Grade, the Black Island Demon Emperor refrained from further argument.

”Father, I will heed your advice!”

”That’s the way it should be. When you return from the Ancestral Land, your strength will surely soar, at which time I’ll gift you a treasure. Not to mention a Core Formation Cultivator,”

”Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn’t be your match!”

Subsequently, the Black Island Demon Emperor secluded himself for a month to stabilize his cultivation, and then immediately set out for the flood dragon race’s Ancestral Land.

...

Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, Wangchuan Lake.

Inside the Lake Heart Island Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun sat quietly in the Cultivation Room,

in front of him was a low table,

on it were a Talisman Pen, Spirit Ink, and a stack of Talisman Paper.

Today, he intended to try refining a Tier Three High-Grade Treasure Talisman,

During his year-long stay at Sea Suppression Immortal City,

Zhou Xun increasingly felt that a great war between the Human and Demon Races was inevitable,

A great risk also meant a great opportunity; the upper echelons of the Human Race had put forth a vast array of rare resources to gather more Human Race Cultivators,

High-Tier Spiritual Medicines, Cultivation Techniques, inheritances, they had it all!

Zhou Xun planned to leverage his transformation in this war between the two races, to gain sufficient merit to exchange for resources, like High-Tier Spiritual Medicines above Tier Four Middle-Grade.

And the Tier Three High-Grade Treasure Talisman was intended as preparation for the war,

According to his estimates, if he could refine thirty-six High-Grade Treasure Talismans, supplemented with a Celestial Spirit Talisman Array, it might suppress a Tier Four Low-Grade Demon Emperor,

An absolutely formidable tactic!

Zhou Xun meditated for half a day, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had reached the peak.

”It’s now or never, success or failure hinges on this moment!”

Slowly opening his eyes, his gaze calm and clear.

With a wave of his hand, a highly spirited Treasure Talisman Paper ascended, spreading out on the desk.

Then Zhou Xun picked up the Talisman Pen, lightly dipped it in Spirit Ink, and began writing.

Zhou Xun’s experience was profound, his technique extremely steady!

His pen strokes flowed smoothly, instantly connecting the Spiritual Energy Circuit!

The Tier Three High-Grade Treasure Talisman was completed.

Zhou Xun hadn’t expected it to go so smoothly, this indicated that his Talisman Dao Skill had finally entered the threshold of Tier Three High-Grade,

But it was not yet complete; this was only halfway done, next he still needed to perform the Sacrificial Refining.

He closed his eyes, sending forth streams of Spirit Light through spell incantations, under the influence of which, the Talisman began to settle, the spirit light subdued, marking its transformation to a mundane appearance.

Finally, Zhou Xun struck the Treasure Talisman with the peculiar Spell of the Nurtured Talisman Technique.

Thus the refining was completed.

Upon finishing this talisman, Zhou Xun stepped out of the Cultivation Room.

He saw a graceful figure enter the forbidden area and sit in the hall, it was Song Yiqing with her delicate appearance.

As her concubine, Zhou Xun had allowed her to stay at the Cultivation Room, and she, knowing her husband had important matters, didn’t disturb him, instead she poured him Spirit Tea.

”What is this?”

”This is from the Cloud Light Sect,” Song Yiqing said, beaming,

”I heard that Sister Lin is finally attempting to form her Core after all these years!”

”When will it be held? We should attend!” Zhou Xun inquired.

”In less than ten days,” Song Yiqing replied excitedly,

”Then we can’t waste any time; we’ll set off immediately.”

Two streams of Spirit Light swiftly flew across the sky above Wangchuan Lake, heading toward the Cloud Light Sect.
