Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

When Zhenhai Zhenjun saw Zhou Xun agreed, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed across his face. He flipped his palm and took out a jade slip that glowed with green light.

With a gentle toss, the jade slip floated in the air and slowly drifted towards Zhou Xun.

"This is a map of the turbulent currents in the Kuya Sea, with safe paths and the distribution of beast nests marked on it. How about you and I meet at the entrance of the teleportation hall at noon three days from now?"

Zhenhai Zhenjun's voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of majesty, and it was obvious that he was someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Zhou Xun reached out to take the jade slip. The moment his fingertips touched the jade slip, a cold feeling spread from his fingertips, as if he could feel the vast information contained in the jade slip.

He probed his consciousness into the jade slip, and a three-dimensional sea map suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The outline of the Kuya Sea was clearly visible, the trajectory of the turbulent spiritual energy was like a winding snake, and the nests of the ferocious beasts were marked as red spots of light, which looked particularly dazzling.

"It is indeed the nautical chart of Kuya Sea, and it is so detailed..." Zhou Xun was secretly shocked but his face remained expressionless.

He withdrew his spiritual sense, raised his eyes to look at Zhenhai Zhenjun, and found that the other party was looking at him with a smile, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Zhou Xun's heart moved, and he instantly understood Zhenhai Zhenjun's intention. Although this jade slip is precious, the danger of Kuya Sea is far beyond what a sea map can describe.

The turbulent spiritual energy was unpredictable, and the ferocious beasts were extremely cunning. If one was not careful, one would be trapped in a desperate situation. The reason why Zhenhai Zhenjun was so generous in handing the jade slip to him was that he was not worried at all about him exploring on his own with the map!

After all, as someone who had personally seen the Five-Leaf Spiritual Heart Vine, he was naturally the most suitable partner.

"No problem, we'll see each other in three days!" Zhou Xun put away the jade slip, said calmly, then stood up and walked out.

After walking out of Zhenhai Zhenjun's cave, Zhou Xun took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. The sunlight shone through the clouds, shining on his face, bringing a hint of warmth.

However, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. The journey to Kuya Sea was unpredictable, and he had to be fully prepared.

After returning to the cave, the first thing Zhou Xun did was to take out the "Small Bu Tian Compass".

He hasn't used this treasure for a long time since he broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and silently recited the mantra of divination.

As the spell was activated, a faint spiritual light gradually appeared on the surface of the compass, and the spiritual light rippled like water waves.

"disease!"

Zhou Xun shouted softly, pointed his finger, and a ray of light shot into the compass.

The compass trembled slightly, the spiritual light flowed, and a slight "clicking" sound was made.

Zhou Xun held his breath and stared at the compass. If the divination result was a bad omen, he would rather speak out of turn than take the risk.

After a while, the compass stopped, and several strange lines appeared on it. Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Although this trip was risky, the final result was good, and he was able to get what he wanted.

"A mixture of good and bad, good turns out to be bad... It seems this trip is worth it." Zhou Xun muttered to himself and put the compass into the storage bag.

Then he waved his hand and summoned the Blood Demon Emperor.

"Zhou Xun, why did you call me out?" asked the Blood Demon Ancestor.

With this living fossil of the cultivation world by his side, he would naturally not let him go.

So he told the Blood Demon Ancestor about his cooperation with Zhenhai Zhenjun.

"Kuya Sea?" The Blood Demon Patriarch thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out where it was?

"I entered the secret realm and fell asleep. Tens of thousands of years have passed since then. It seems that some changes have taken place in the human world!"

"But you don't have to worry as I'm here. With my current strength, plus your Blood Demon Generals, a mere Nascent Soul Peak stage is no problem for me!"

In front of the Dajin Library,

Zhou Xun looked up at the towering buildings and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

This library is the heritage of the Great Jin Dynasty for nearly ten thousand years. From the first Jin Emperor to the present, it has collected countless classics, skills, secret techniques, and even some ancient secrets.

He walked into the pavilion, and was greeted by a faint scent of ink.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a steward came up and bowed:

"Hello, senior. What book would you like to check?"

"I want to check the information of 'Kuyahai', but I wonder where it is?" Zhou Xun asked.

"'Kuyahai', one of the seven forbidden areas, should be classified as an ancient secret. After entering, senior, go straight to the fifth floor!" The steward bowed,

"However, it costs contribution points to read the content here, one point per hour, so I'll let you know in advance!"

"One hour at one o'clock!" Zhou Xun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard the price.

You know, this is the price of a fourth-grade low-grade spiritual medicine!

"This is the rule set by our ancestor. Please forgive me!" said the steward with a bow.

"Well, I understand!" Zhou Xun then walked inside.

The space inside the pavilion is extremely large, with numerous bookshelves and a vast number of classics.

Zhou Xun climbed up the carved stairs all the way to the fifth floor, then headed towards the "Strange Stories of the Sea" area.

Start looking for information about Kuyahai Sea.

It took Zhou Xun only a quarter of an hour to find the relevant content.

As one of the most dangerous seas in the world of cultivation, the Kuya Sea has always been a place that cultivators are afraid of.

Zhou Xun carefully consulted several ancient books and found that the dangers of the Kuya Sea were far more complicated than he had previously known.

In addition to the spiritual turbulence and ferocious beasts, there are also some ancient prohibitions hidden in the depths of the Kuya Sea, which are extremely dangerous.

It is said that this Kuya Sea was not like this before, but was the headquarters of the Kuya Sect of the Huashen Sect.

It's a pity that it was destroyed by the invasion of the ghost world more than 10,000 years ago. Moreover, because of the great war of transformation of gods that took place here, several spiritual veins were broken and the earth veins were overturned.

In addition, the space has become extremely unstable, which has led to the formation of today's Jedi.

“It turned out to be formed more than 10,000 years ago. No wonder the Blood Demon Ancestor didn’t know about it!”

Then he continued to search, not missing any information about Kuyahai.

While he was flipping through the classics, he suddenly noticed an ancient book called "Biography of You Kuya".

The cover of the book had turned yellow, and it was obviously very old. Zhou Xun took it down, opened it, and found that it contained many secrets about the Kuya Sea, and even some rare maps of the distribution of spiritual objects.

"Five-Leaf Spiritual Heart Vine...it is indeed recorded!" A hint of joy flashed in Zhou Xun's eyes.

The book mentioned that traces of the Five-Leaf Spiritual Heart Vine had appeared several times in Kuya Sea.

"It seems that the place discovered by Zhenhai Zhenjun is also a relic from that time!"

After doing all this, he did not leave in a hurry, but went to the Intelligence Department.

Start investigating the information of Zhenhai Zhenjun.

The strange thing is that this Zhenhai Zhenjun does not seem to be his real name, and even with the capabilities of the Dajin Intelligence Department, they have not been able to find any information about him.

"It seems that this person has also changed his identity!"

"Even with the capabilities of the Great Jin Intelligence Department, we were unable to uncover the truth. It seems that this person's disguise skills are definitely not ordinary!"

"It seems that I have to be more careful when working with him." Zhou Xun was secretly alert.

After leaving the library, Zhou Xun went to Jinyuan Pavilion again and bought a few high-level talismans.

Together with the inventory in his storage bag, it should be enough for him on this trip.

After returning to the cave, Zhou Xun began to organize the items he needed for the trip. He put all the magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans into storage bags according to categories, ensuring that they could be quickly taken out when needed.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing." Zhou Xun murmured to himself, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Three days later, Zhou Xun arrived at the Transmission Hall as promised.

Zhenhai Zhenjun had been waiting for a long time. Seeing him coming, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed punctual."

Zhou Xun nodded, and after exchanging a few words, the two stepped into the teleportation array together.

With a flash of dazzling light, their figures disappeared from the spot.

After several teleportations, they finally arrived at a place close to the West Canghai Sea - Nanya Prefecture in Jiaozhou.

"Follow me, Brother Zhou. We have a teleportation array that can go directly to the heart of the Western Canghai Sea!"

Then Zhou Xun followed Zhenhai Zhenjun out of the city and rushed towards the northwest.

Half a month later,

A city no smaller than Nanyafu City appeared here.

"Write the words 'Xicang' on it!"

"This is a fairy city specially granted by the Jin court. It allocated spiritual land to allow us, the monks of Xi Canghai, to build. There is a teleportation formation inside."

"We can reach the heart of the Western Cang Sea directly. Then you and I can go through the Western Cang Sea and head to the Kuya Sea!"

In this way, under the leadership of Zhenhai Zhenjun, it took a full six months and finally arrived at an unfamiliar sea area.

Looking up,

The waves were surging all around, the sea breeze was howling, and the air was filled with rich fluctuations of spiritual energy, as if one could feel the flow of spiritual energy with every breath.

In the distance, the waves beat against the rocks, making a deafening roar. The sky was covered with dark clouds and there were faint flashes of lightning.

"This is the outskirts of Kuya Sea."

Zhenhai Zhenjun pointed forward and said, his voice seemed a little vague in the sea breeze.

Zhou Xun nodded, and his consciousness spread out, carefully sensing the spiritual power fluctuations around him. As expected, the sea water in front of him was pitch black, and there were traces of violent spiritual power turbulence in the water.

The further you go in, the more serious the situation becomes!

"Fellow Daoist Zhenhai, do you have any way to deal with the turbulent flow of spiritual energy?" Zhou Xun asked with a hint of caution in his voice.

Zhenhai Zhenjun smiled slightly and took out a green jade talisman. The surface of the jade talisman was engraved with complex runes, emitting a faint spiritual light. He gently pinched it, and the jade talisman suddenly turned into a green light, covering the two of them.

“This is the ‘Wind-Fixing Talisman’, which can temporarily stabilize the turbulent spiritual energy around us and help us pass smoothly.

However, this talisman can only last for two months, so we must reach the island within a month and then return in time," Zhenhai Zhenjun explained.

Zhou Xun felt relieved after hearing this. The two of them did not delay any longer and quickly flew towards the spiritual energy turbulence area.

As soon as he stepped in, Zhou Xun felt a violent flow of spiritual energy rushing towards him, as if countless invisible blades were cutting his protective spiritual light.

Even with the protection of the "Wind-Fixing Talisman", he could still feel the heart-pounding sense of oppression.

The surrounding sea water was as black as ink, swallowing up all light like an abyss. Occasionally, a few turbulent currents of spiritual energy burst out from the sea surface, twisting and circling in the air like giant snakes, making shrill hissing sounds.

"Be careful, the spiritual energy turbulence here is more violent than outside. You will be caught in it if you are not careful." Zhenhai Zhenjun reminded in a low voice with a hint of solemnity in his voice.

Zhou Xun nodded, his consciousness fully activated, always alert to the movements around him, and at the same time, eighteen thunder seeds flew out.

Transformed into lightning shields to protect him!

The two of them walked forward, but not very fast.

The danger of the Kuya Sea was far beyond their imagination. Even with the protection of the "Wind-Fixing Talisman", they dared not be careless at all. Zhou Xun's eyes swept around from time to time, secretly calculating the route in his mind.

Although the safe path marked on the jade slip given by Zhenhai Zhenjun is detailed, deadly danger may be hidden at any place in this sea area.

Suddenly, Zhou Xun's consciousness detected a strange fluctuation. He frowned and whispered:

"Fellow Daoist Zhenhai, there seems to be something ahead."

Zhenhai Zhenjun heard this and his expression froze, and he quickly stopped. The two of them looked intently, and saw a huge shadow vaguely emerging on the sea in front of them. The shadow moved slowly, as big as an island, but Zhou Xun felt a frightening breath.

"It's the 'Sea Swallowing Whale'!" Zhenhai Zhenjun's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of fear in his voice. This beast is huge and fierce. Once it targets you, it is very difficult to escape."

"What's more troublesome is that these beasts come in groups. If one or a few appear here, there must be another group not far away!"

Zhou Xun's heart sank. The Sea-devouring Whale is an extremely rare ancient ferocious beast in the Kuya Sea. It is said that it has its own space inside its body and is said to be able to devour all living things. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it extremely difficult to face this ferocious beast.

"Go around!"

Zhenhai Zhenjun said decisively, then changed direction and flew to the other side.

Zhou Xun followed closely behind, and the two carefully bypassed the shadow. However, just when they thought they had avoided danger, the sea suddenly churned violently, and a huge column of water rushed up into the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Zhenhai Zhenjun's face changed drastically and his body accelerated suddenly.

Zhou Xun looked back and saw a larger sea-swallowing whale leaping out of the sea, opening its huge mouth and rushing towards them. The huge mouth was as dark as the abyss, as if it could swallow everything. Zhou Xun could even smell a fishy stench coming towards him, which was disgusting.

"Hurry up!" Zhenhai Zhenjun shouted in a low voice, and the green jade talisman in his hand suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and the speed increased several times in an instant.

Zhou Xun did not dare to delay, and urged all his spiritual power to transform into a stream of purple light, flying away with him at high speed.

However, right in front of them, another sea-swallowing whale swooped up!

At this point, how could Zhou Xun not know that they had entered a whale's nest!

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, we can't hold back any longer. Let's join forces and kill them!" Zhenhai Zhenjun shouted, and swung the sword in his hand suddenly. A huge sword energy swept out and went straight to the Sea-Swallowing Whale.
