Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 703: Chapter 53: Secret Inheritance Involving the Fifth Realm

"Eh, what’s this?"

Suddenly, Zhou Xun’s eyes were drawn to a token,

Upon close inspection, the token was neither made of gold nor jade, yet it felt warm in his hand.

The front of the token was engraved with some strange patterns, seemingly some kind of ancient rune, emanating a mysterious aura.

The back depicted a blurred image, resembling a peculiar island,

"Why does it look so similar to the island beneath my feet? Could it be the manipulation token for this cave mansion?"

A bold speculation rose within Zhou Xun’s heart.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated,

Forming a spell with his hands, he pointed at the token and began refining it slowly.

As Zhou Xun continuously infused spiritual power, the mysterious runes on the token gradually lit up, flickering uncertainly.

Unaware of how much time had passed, the token suddenly trembled slightly, and a beam of light shot into the sky, instantly enveloping the entire island.

He connected his divine sense with the token, and instantly, the entire island’s situation was fully revealed.

It turns out this island, just like the Celestial Profound Secret Realm, is an independent small space,

And the layer of mist outside serves as a restriction to protect this space,

It is also the entrance to this place from the outside world,

And is part of the array.

This grand array, called the Yin Yang Profound Void Array, is a solid Tier Five Array, possessing the ability to move in the outside world!

And this space wasn’t created by True Monarch Celestial Star, but by a Divinity Transformation cultivator named Profound Void Celestial Monarch,

True Monarch Celestial Star was merely a disciple of his,

His path of array was inherited from this person.

Deep within the island, there is an even higher-tier secret chamber, containing Tier Five array inheritance,

It requires array skills to be elevated to Tier Four Top-Grade before it can be accessed.

All of these details are recorded within the token!

"So, this place has such a history!"

Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be amazed, as this already involves matters of another level!

However, now, the owner of this small space has become Zhou Xun.

"It’s a pity I have important matters to attend to; otherwise, staying here for cultivation would undoubtedly speed up my progress!"

Then, Zhou Xun did not linger, took out the token and lightly waved it forward,

Shortly after, he reappeared on the sea surface, and the previous misty area was collected by him,

Now that the cave mansion had welcomed its new owner, there was no need for the entrance to continue drifting at sea.

...

In the South Sea, a giant crimson turtle nearly a hundred feet long was flying slowly,

And on its back, it carried an extremely exquisite cave mansion,

It was precisely Zhou Xun and his party.

Celestial Secret Cave Mansion, Cultivation Room.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, and before him, a middle-aged physical body was suspended, precisely True Monarch Yuangu.

Now with Nascent Soul detached, he was left with an empty shell.

After pondering for a moment, he also took out that peculiar small banner.

It was the same one that sheltered the Cyan Ape.

Last time in the Thunder Prison, after absorbing the residual soul of the Thunder Element Spirit, it fell into a slumber.

This beast was indeed quite unique,

After consuming the soul, it merely needed to sleep, and its strength could continually increase, infinitely simpler compared to Zhou Xun’s arduous pursuit of the Dao,

The ease of it was truly incomparable!

"Come out, stop sleeping!"

Zhou Xun called softly, then waved the small banner, a cyan light flew out, landing on the ground.

It transformed into a Cyan Ape about a foot in size, its fur still tinged with strands of golden light,

Compared to last time, it had grown thicker, obviously indicating an increase in strength.

Staring at the corpse before it, the Cyan Ape excitedly thumped its nose several times, instantly releasing a grayish glow that enveloped True Monarch Yuangu’s body.

Before long, an exceedingly ethereal human figure was drawn out,

The residual soul of True Monarch Yuangu remaining in the body,

With a "whoosh," it was absorbed into the Cyan Ape’s nose.

Afterward, the Cyan Ape patted its belly, showing a satisfied expression.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst how many thousands of miles away, in a simple stone house, a man exclaimed in agony and then screamed painfully.

This was the side effect of the destruction of the residual soul.

"Zhou Xun, I will certainly seek revenge!"

This person had occupied the body of a Low-Tier Cultivator, who was in fact True Monarch Yuangu, and if it weren’t for the Substitute Gu, he would have perished at Zhou Xun’s hands.

Of course, Zhou Xun was unaware of this, and even if he were, he would not be concerned.

Initially, in a normal state, the opponent was no match for him, and now, with only a Nascent Soul and the effort of body possession cultivation again, he was of even less concern!

At this point, the Cyan Ape glanced at another body, that of True Monarch Feng Yan,

The Cyan Ape’s large nose emitted a gray light, absorbing Feng Yan’s residual soul.

Having consumed two Tier Four residual souls, the Cyan Ape displayed a satisfied demeanor.

"Alright, you’re done here, go back!"

The Cyan Ape exhibited a human-like smile, then transformed into a cyan light, flew back into the small banner, and resumed its slumber.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun began the refining process,

But the Blood Demon Refining Method he had mastered only recorded up to Peak Core Formation, and beyond that, he didn’t have it.

Soon after, Zhou Xun approached True Monarch Yuangu’s body,

Zhou Xun formed a spell with his hands, following the Blood Demon Scripture method, struck it into a soybean-sized essence blood,

Subsequently, as if by an invisible great force, the essence blood drew towards the remains of the body before him, slowly merging into the person’s forehead.

Thanks to the Cyan Ape’s handling, the Yin Soul Power on the corpse had already vanished entirely, with no worry of backlash,

And so, after this process, the preliminary refining was complete,

What remained was to nurture the corpse.

This Nascent Soul corpse’s refining being half completed,

Requires the Extremely Yin Land to finish nurturing before it can be drawn out,

Contemplating this,

Zhou Xun reached towards his waist, retrieved the Small Divination Compass,

"Found it, though it is quite far, nearly two million miles away, deep in the Demon Race territory!"

With this thought,

Zhou Xun hid himself on the back of the Spirit Turtle Red Noon and activated the Thousand Faces Mask,

Concealing his aura, he intended to make the journey,

Thus ensuring much more safety!

All along the way, he remained vigilant, paying close attention to his surroundings.

Past approximately a month,

Finally, he reached his destination, and an eerie atmosphere pervaded the location, strikingly disjointed,

Taking out the arraying tools, he followed the array map from the Blood Demon Scripture to set up in this location,

He buried the semi-finished Blood Demon Child inside, leaving only a head sticking out.

As midnight arrived, Zhou Xun looked on as the Yin Qi was absorbed into the Blood Demon Children, and he was very satisfied,

Just as he anticipated, even in the Extremely Yin Land, nurturing to completion would take at least ten years.

With that thought,

Zhou Xun reached to his waist to retrieve the Small Divination Compass,

Then left, hiding beneath the back of the Spirit Turtle Red Noon, activating the Thousand Faces Mask,

Masking his presence, he planned to continue his journey.

That way, it would be much more secure!

All the way, he remained vigilant, keeping an eye out, alert for any threats,

While the Spirit Turtle’s large back acted as a moving island.

After approximately a month,

He finally arrived at his destination, where a strange, eerie atmosphere lingered, in stark contrast,

He then took out arraying tools, following the array map from the Blood Demon Scripture, set up the array devices at the location, placing the half-completed Blood Demon Children inside, leaving only their heads exposed.

At midnight, Zhou Xun watched as streaks of Yin Qi were absorbed by these Blood Demon Children, and he was exceedingly satisfied,

Just like that, with shadows cloaking the area as temperatures dropped noticeably,

With Yin Qi streaming in, dense and enriching.

Seeing the Yin Qi absorbed by these Blood Demon Children, Zhou Xun was quite pleased,

Then, retrieving the manipulation token, he swung it, transforming it into Cyan Light,

Encircling those heads in protection, Zhou Xun then initiated the Concealment Array,

And then vacated the area on the back of the Spirit Turtle Red Noon,

As per his estimates, even in the Extremely Yin Land, the nurturing completion would require at least ten years.

When he realized this,

He immediately set off, resuming his journey with a long-term plan in mind.
