Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 704: Chapter 54: Setting Up the Teleportation Array, The Current State of the Eastern Wilderness Members

Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.

Ever since Zhou Xun obtained the legacy of the True Monarch Celestial Star, his main body had made another trip to the South Sea and acquired the Profound Void Crystal.

He planned to establish a teleportation array between Tianhan City and Wangchuan Lake.

By then, his White Cloud Immortal City would become the foremost major city in the entire southern Eastern Wilderness, and Tianhan City’s influence would extend to the three southern nations in the Eastern Wilderness. Only then could he integrate all his forces.

After all, the two places were too far apart. Even with his current escape speed, it would take him several months to make the journey.

If any accidents were to occur, by the time he received the news, it might already be too late.

For instance, if Sea Suppression Immortal City had not been connected by a teleportation array to the Central Continent, it might have already fallen.

There it stands, locked in a stalemate with the Demon Race!

Since he had learned such a strategic-level array, it naturally had to be set up as soon as possible.

...

Lake Heart Island,

Zhou Xun, after many years, once again gathered his numerous subordinates.

Ever since he transformed and formed his Nascent Soul, he basically secluded himself on Lake Heart Island, no longer involving himself with the affairs of White Cloud Immortal City,

leaving everything to be handled by Xing Huai’an, with power essentially in his hands. However, with Zhou Xun’s fifth disciple, Xu Shaoqing, forming his core two years ago,

things began to change,

Although Zhou Xun was too lazy to deal with such matters, she was, after all, Zhou Xun’s direct disciple,

and this White Cloud Immortal City was also created by Zhou Xun. Its current scale was also due to Zhou Xun’s renown as the Eastern Wilderness’s Number One Cultivator.

Thus, Xing Huai’an voluntarily ceded part of the authority to Xu Shaoqing.

As Zhou Xun’s favored candidate to succeed as the next master of Wangchuan Lake, she seized this opportunity to learn how to manage a large-scale cultivation influence!

Wangchuan Lake has now become as prominent as Tianhan City, one in the south, one in the north, both suppressing the entire Eastern Wilderness.

On this day,

streams of light streaked across the sky above Wangchuan Lake, finally settling on the center of Lake Heart Island.

After over a century of arrays, this island had become the most mysterious presence in the entire Eastern Wilderness,

even Xu Shaoqing, Wang Shun, and other direct disciples of Zhou Xun could not enter without Zhou Xun’s summons.

This time, Zhou Xun had rarely summoned them, allowing them to set foot on this land.

"Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, it seems the spiritual energy on this Lake Heart Island of Master’s has increased again. It looks like his expertise in arrays has made another breakthrough!"

A beautiful young woman dressed in a blue palace skirt, seemingly in her early twenties, spoke with a smile. Her voice was as melodious as a nightingale.

It was none other than Zhou Xun’s fifth disciple, Xu Shaoqing, who had just broken through to core formation six years ago, successfully condensing a High-Grade True Pill,

As one of Zhou Xun’s direct disciples, her future breakthrough to late-stage core formation was almost certain. Even achieving Nascent Soul was within reach.

She surveyed the current Lake Heart Island, starkly different from years past,

The dense spiritual qi, almost forming a mist, and the rare spirit plants scattered around made it resemble an Immortal’s Cave Mansion.

"Master hasn’t appeared for many years; now that he’s summoned us, I wonder for what reason?"

Wang Shun, now looking like a middle-aged man, had become quite composed.

Currently, he was already an Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with Zhou Xun’s strength and status, and his father Wang Erniu’s capabilities,

supporting him to core formation in the future would pose no problem, though the quality of his inner core might only be middle-grade at best.

"Who cares what it’s for, it’s rare to get in this time, so I must visit Master’s Jingxin Pavilion to see those Tier Three Renshui Pears. I’ve been craving them for quite some time!" chuckled Lin Youshan from the side,

He still appeared youthful and elegant, clearly due to taking the Youthful Appearance Pill,

Judging by the mana fluctuations on him, he had reached the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, just a step away from the peak,

The breakthroughs to core formation seemed only a matter of years for him.

As Zhou Xun’s direct disciple and Lin Xueying’s cousin, the support he received was substantial, making core formation a certainty.

At this moment, two more spirals of spirit light descended,

transforming into a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in a blue long gown, radiated a gentle aura, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, long hair neatly tied, appearing around thirty years old,

The woman wore a palace skirt, her face youthful yet dignified.

Upon seeing these two, Wang Shun and the others bowed:

"Greetings to both Senior Uncles!"

They were none other than Xing Huai’an and Yuan Pan’er.

Xing Huai’an nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Yuan Pan’er whispered with Xu Shaoqing.

Aside from these five, Fang Zhenglun and his wife were also commanded to be here. He was now a Tier Two High-Grade Refiner, overseeing all crafting matters within the Immortal City, considered part of the high echelon.

In terms of seniority, only Yuan Pan’er, Xing Huai’an, and a few others ranked above him, even Wang Shun and the rest had to treat him with respect!

Being included in this gathering personally summoned by Zhou Xun was a testament to his status!

While everyone was conversing, Zhou Xun slowly walked in.

"Greetings Master/Master Wangchuan!"

Upon seeing him, everyone respectfully saluted,

even Xing Huai’an and Yuan Pan’er nodded to show respect.

"We’re all family, no need for such formalities!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand, looking at them, the progress of the three disciples was impressive, especially Xu Shaoqing, who had entered core formation, becoming the second core formation disciple under him,

The first, of course, being Luo Yuancheng.

Interestingly, among his disciples, those who joined later formed their cores earlier, quite a curious phenomenon.
