Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 708: Chapter 56: Successful Nascent Soul Formation, Lifebound Lotus Seed Anomaly!

Zhou Xun stood up and walked out of the Cultivation Room, arriving at Jingxin Pavilion.

Gazing at Wangchuan Lake, shimmering and sparkling, the breeze gently caressed his face, merging with the sky under the glow of the sunset.

With a gentle wave of his palm, a freshly matured Calm Heart Lotus Seedpod fell into his hand,

He tore open the outer covering and lightly picked a seed,

The plump lotus seed glowed with a faint brilliance under the afterglow of the sunset.

He slightly lowered his head, pinched the ends of the lotus seed gently with his thumb and index finger, exerting a little force, causing the shell of the lotus seed to crack open.

With unhurried movements, he carefully peeled away the shell of the lotus seed, revealing the pristine lotus meat inside, white as jade,

Placing it into his mouth and biting down gently, a refreshing taste spread throughout his mouth,

making his spirit become tranquil. Zhou Xun gently closed his eyes, immersing himself in this moment of peace and beauty.

At this moment, faint footsteps sounded behind him, accompanied by a light fragrance,

Zhou Xun didn’t need to look to know it was Lin Xueying.

"Husband has finished seclusion!"

Lin Xueying slowly walked to Zhou Xun’s back, letting his head rest on her gentle bosom,

Her alabaster fingers began to lightly press on Zhou Xun.

"Have you reached Peak Core Formation?"

"Indeed!" Zhou Xun’s eyes were slightly closed, his lips barely moving.

"When will Husband set off?" He knew that upon reaching Peak Core Formation, he would need to leave this place and head to the Central Continent for Nascent Soul Formation,

Once he became True Monarch Nascent Soul, he feared he could no longer remain in the Eastern Wilderness, as there were no Tier Four Spirit Veins here to support his daily cultivation.

"I’ll leave in two days, and by then, you will join me in departing!"

Zhou Xun said softly,

He plans to cultivate in the Spirit Control Sect in the coming days.

The site is close to the Teleportation Array, allowing for immediate departure if anything unforeseen happens.

"I will follow Husband’s lead!" Lin Xueying smiled faintly.

Unexpectedly, the young lad from years ago had now matured into someone unparalleled throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

...

Two days later, Lake Heart Island Cave Mansion, in the reception hall.

Zhou Xun assembled his five disciples.

"Greetings Master/Sovereign!"

Zhou Jingsong and the others bowed towards Zhou Xun at the head of the room.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, their conditions were revealed entirely.

Though only a year passed, their cultivation had progressed significantly, especially Shi Wanrong, now halfway to Peak of Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment,

Of course, this progress was undoubtedly linked to the Spirit Liquid Essence he bestowed, but it also showed that during this year,

She had indeed been wholeheartedly cultivating.

"You’ve all performed well during this time. I hope by the next time I see you, there will be more Core Formation Masters among you!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples looked at each other, with Zhou Jingsong speaking quietly:

"Master, does this mean you’re leaving?"

"Indeed!" Zhou Xun nodded, calling them here today specifically to discuss this matter.

"Three days ago, I reached the Peak of Core Formation Realm. In the Eastern Wilderness, there’s no further potential for advancement,"

"Thus, I’ve decided to leave for the Central Continent Cultivation Realm!"

Following this, Zhou Xun detailed everything he knew about the Central Continent Cultivation Realm!

"Master is saying you’ve found a way to leave the Eastern Wilderness?" Xu Shaoqing asked excitedly.

Now approaching 130 years old, she had recently become a Core Formation Cultivator, naturally possessing greater ambitions for cultivation.

Yet, the cultivation environment of the Eastern Wilderness inherently restricted their progress.

Upon hearing about a new path, joy welled up in her.

"Exactly!"

"Master Tianci and Master Iron Mountain from Tianhan City have already left the Eastern Wilderness through that method and have become True Monarch Nascent Souls. Now it’s my turn!"

Zhou Xun nodded,

"Speaking of this, it’s certainly the greatest secret of our Wangchuan Lake lineage!"

"Other than the few of you, remember not to reveal it to anyone, not even your own children unless they progress to Late-Stage Core Formation!"

Zhou Xun instructed, while sharing details on the location of the teleportation array at Hundred Savage Mountain and news from the Spirit Control Sect across the way.

"Yes, we will remember, Master!" The disciples nodded solemnly,

Understanding the critical importance of this information, knowing that if it spread, every Core Formation Master in the Eastern Wilderness would forcefully demand the method of departure.

"Can Master not return to the Eastern Wilderness to cultivate after Nascent Soul Formation?" Shi Wanrong asked, filled with reluctance.

"The highest grade Spirit Vein in the Eastern Wilderness is merely Tier Three Top-Grade, insufficient for supporting daily cultivation of Nascent Soul Cultivators,"

"Naturally, I can’t reside here permanently!"

"Occasionally returning for a brief stay poses no issues!" Zhou Xun replied.

This Wangchuan Lake Daoist Field, established almost since his Foundation Establishment days, had spanned over a hundred years now,

Naturally held deep emotional ties.

"Then I wish Master success in Nascent Soul Formation and great achievements along the Dao!" The disciples all cupped their hands in congratulations.

"Hahaha, if in the future one or two Nascent Souls emerge among you, it would not be in vain for my arduous guidance!"

In the ensuing days, Zhou Xun lectured his disciples, discussing from Late-Stage Foundation Establishment to Late-Stage Core Formation,

Even elaborating on topics of Nascent Soul Formation and beyond, imparting everything he knew.

Because once he ventured to the Central Continent, there was uncertainty whether unforeseen events might occur,

Possibly returning only after centuries, when all is different and changed!

After completing his lectures, Zhou Xun, with Lin Xueying, proceeded to a nondescript cave mansion on the island, heading to the teleportation array at Hundred Savage Mountain,

Which he established at this location.

Throughout the year, he collected two more ’Profound Void Crystals,’

Thus designing a teleportation network exclusive to their kin,

Covering "Lake Heart Island—Tianhan City—Celestial Feather Sect—teleportation site at Hundred Savage Mountain!"
