Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 785: Chapter 93: Erniu Forms His Nascent Soul, True Monarch of Sword Dao!

Now, she only wanted to serve Zhou Xun wholeheartedly.

Zhou Xun was naturally aware of this, but Wangchuan Island was his most important Dao site now, and he needed someone to stay behind.

So, he shook his head and said:

”I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, and Wangchuan Island cannot be left unattended. You are the best candidate!”

As he spoke, Zhou Xun took out a token and handed it to Jiang Wanning:

”This is the manipulation token for the Mountain Protection Array. I leave this Dao site to you. If a formidable enemy truly arrives and things cannot be salvaged, you can use the teleportation array to go to the Eastern Wilderness!”

”Besides that, you’ll also be responsible for feeding the Thousand-Answering Insect and Spirit-Attracting Butterfly!” Now that I’m returning to the Eastern Wilderness to contend with the Ghostly Mist, the Spirit-Attracting Butterfly won’t be of much use.

It would be better to leave it in this Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Vein to slowly cultivate.

”Yes, Young Master, please rest assured, Wanning will definitely guard Wangchuan Island well for you!”

Zhou Xun nodded upon hearing this and immediately walked out of the cave mansion,

Behind him, the Earth Element Beast Feng Chong, the Spirit Turtle Red Noon, and Luo Yuancheng walked together.

The two beasts and the person were exactly the ones he wanted to take to the Eastern Wilderness.

There was no need to say much about the two beasts; they had Nascent Soul-level combat power, which would be a great help.

As for Luo Yuancheng,

being his youngest disciple, it was time for him to meet the other senior brothers and sisters, so he took him along.

Soon, Zhou Xun led the group to the teleportation array,

and with a flash of white light, the group disappeared from the teleportation array.

After a dizzying shift, their feet landed on solid ground once more, marking their arrival in the Eastern Wilderness.

”Master, is this the Eastern Wilderness?”

Sensing the spiritual energy in the air was significantly thinner, Luo Yuancheng couldn’t help but ask.

”That’s correct!” Zhou Xun nodded,

suddenly––

A burst of spiritual energy anomaly came from the distance, capturing the attention of Zhou Xun and the others,

”Is someone breaking through to Nascent Soul?”

Zhou Xun instantly realized this and immediately extended his divine sense towards the source of the fluctuation, revealing a look of joy,

”Erniu!”

Previously, Wang Erniu had not advanced to Nascent Soul after many years in the Central Continent, but now he was finally on the verge of doing so.

”Yuancheng, this is your Uncle Master Erniu’s heavenly tribulation for advancing to Nascent Soul. Let’s all go and witness it!”

Saying this, he led Luo Yuancheng, Feng Chong, and the others out of the stone chamber, flying up to observe the ceremony in the sky.

Simultaneously, this scene also drew the attention of other cultivators by Wangchuan Lake, who began to fly over one after another.

Among them were Xing Huai’an and Xu Shaoqing.

Flying into the sky, they saw Zhou Xun with three others floating in the air and hastened over to pay their respects,

”Greetings, Master/True Monarch!”

When they saw Feng Chong and Spirit Turtle Red Noon beside Zhou Xun, they couldn’t help but be startled.

As Core Formation Cultivators, they had certainly read records about Tier Four Demon Emperors in scriptures,

who could transform into human form but still retain partial demon beast traits,

And the middle-aged man in front of them, with a red turtle shell on his back and a pair of tiger ears, fit this description perfectly,

Could it be that these were two Demon Emperors?

Zhou Xun naturally noticed their puzzlement and thus explained:

”These two are my mounts, Spirit Turtle Red Noon and Earth Element Beast Feng Chong. They are both Tier Four Demon Emperors!”

They had known Feng Chong for a long time, but hadn’t seen his human form after he broke through to Tier Four.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief,

And their gaze at Zhou Xun grew more admiring, to have two Tier Four Demon Emperors as mounts.

”And this one is your Sixth Junior Brother, Luo Yuancheng!” Zhou Xun continued the introductions.

And soon everyone exchanged pleasantries.

...

Meanwhile,

Wang Erniu sensed the opportunity to break through, and his dantian suddenly experienced a commotion, with that small golden sword in his dantian starting to spin rapidly, strands of Dao principles began to appear out of thin air!

This sword-shaped inner core was precisely the mark of their Sword Cultivators.

Though Zhou Xun could perform Sword Cultivator divine techniques, technically he was still a Dharma Cultivator.

Meanwhile, the external spiritual energy also began to be influenced, slowly converging toward him,

At this moment, a phantom of a flying sword appeared in the sky, reaching hundreds of feet high,

This was the representation of Wang Erniu’s sword intent reflecting in the void.

Currently, the mana fluctuation on Wang Erniu was growing more intense,

Streams of spiritual energy began condensing towards the illusory flying sword.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun slightly raised his hand, and a gentle spiritual power struck overhead,

Subsequently, the entire Mountain Protection Array was activated, gathering all the spiritual energy within hundreds of miles of Wangchuan Lake,

bringing the spiritual energy concentration in this area up to Tier Four Low-Grade level.

It’s noteworthy that though Heaven and Earth’s primordial Qi had resurged, the time had been short, and this spirit vein barely reached Tier Four Low-Grade,

The array arranged by Zhou Xun now harnessed Gathering Spirit, instantly meeting the required standards for Wang Erniu’s ascension,

Yet the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi appears slightly insufficient, though Zhou Xun has already made preparations,

Ready at any time to activate a dozen Top-Grade Spirit Stones, extracting the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within.

At this moment,

Wang Erniu has completely immersed himself in the breakthrough state,

Feeling as though he has transformed into a sharp sword, soaring into the sky.

Suddenly sensing the surrounding Spiritual Qi becoming exceptionally rich, how could he not know this was Zhou Xun’s assistance, a wave of gratitude rises in his heart.

But at this moment, he cannot afford to be distracted, so he focuses even more on guiding the Spiritual Power within his body, attacking the barrier leading to the Nascent Soul Realm.

As time passes by the second, the Spiritual Qi around Wang Erniu grows increasingly dense, forming a great whirlpool.

The aura surrounding him continues to rise, the faint golden light becoming ever more dazzling.

In Zhou Xun’s gaze, he could see streams of thin Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi continually being absorbed by Wang Erniu, drawn into the golden little sword at his Dantian.

At this moment,

Suddenly, Wang Erniu’s surging aura falters abruptly, faintly showing signs of reversal.

”Not good!”

At this sight, Zhou Xun frowns, his Divine Sense sweeps over to instantly understand the reason,

Breaking through Nascent Soul requires Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, yet in the Eastern Wilderness, this remains too scarce,

Insufficient to support Nascent Soul Formation!

However, Zhou Xun was already fully prepared, promptly casting a dozen Top-Grade Spirit Stones,

Flying next to Wang Erniu and exploding!

”Crash!”

Rich streams of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi are instantly released, immediately absorbed into Wang Erniu’s body,

Fusing into the golden little sword at his Dantian,

The golden sword’s brilliance surges, an aura of agility emerges, the entire golden sword suddenly appears with a human face,

Identical to Wang Erniu,

At the same time, his aura erupts, spreading outward.

”Not bad, the first stage of transformation to Sword Infant is a success!”

Zhou Xun smiles slightly, he heard Wang Erniu mention that what Sword Cultivators condense is indeed Sword Infant,

Its efficacy is extraordinary!

Besides, the stages are no different from ordinary Dharma Cultivators,

After Nascent Soul Formation, comes the Thunder Tribulation,

”Boom!”

Bolts of Thunder Light descend from the heavens,

Wang Erniu remains steadfast and fearless, the Sword Infant emerges, transforming into a golden light to soar upward,

Merging as one with that phantom image,

Transforming into a solid Golden Giant Sword,

At this moment, the sword is him, he is the sword, Unity of Man and Sword, charging straight toward the descending Thunder Tribulation.

This is indeed Wang Erniu’s Sword Intent,

Facing Thunder Tribulation, breaking it with a single sword!

The Thunder Light instantly envelops the Giant Sword, myriad flashes sparkling across the sword’s body,

Yet unable to breach it,

This scene is akin to an Immortal Sword undergoing the tempering of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, becoming even more brilliantly golden.

One after another,

A total of nine Thunder Tribulations crash down, Wang Erniu’s Sword Infant transformed Giant Sword remains unmoving, Sword Intent towering to the sky,

Within this Sword Intent, it subtly integrates a strand of the Tribulation Thunder’s annihilating force!

”As expected of Golden Light Sword Immortal, daring to face Thunder Tribulation with Sword Infant!”

”Erniu, it’s passed!” Zhou Xun smiles slightly,

Finally remaining is the Heart Demon Tribulation,

Wang Erniu already possesses Heart Realm Perfection, stirring the opportunity for Nascent Soul ascension, coupled with Sword Cultivation prioritizing heart realm,

This stage, for them, is instead the easiest.

Sword Intent rises, Illusion Destruction!

All three stages of Nascent Soul Formation thoroughly completed,

Implying that as of today, the Eastern Wilderness has once more birthed a True Monarch Nascent Soul, and furthermore, a True Monarch of Sword Dao, unrivaled in slaughter!

In terms of actual combat strength, does not lose to True Monarch Thunder Prison, factoring in the Celestial Essence Sword Array, perhaps even surpasses!

Simultaneously, in the Cultivation Room,

Wang Erniu slowly opens both eyes, a flash of golden light disappears, his Sword Intent becomes restrained, his entire being turns ordinary, appearing just like an average country boy,

No one would ever guess this is actually a True Monarch level Sword Cultivator!

Just seeing his form flicker, he arrives before Zhou Xun, bowing deeply:

”Many thanks, elder brother, without your assistance, this little brother’s ascension may have failed once more!”
