Chapter 324: The Number One Nascent Soul of the Canglan Sea, Renowned Throughout the World
"No, it is not a Spirit Severing Venerable who has taken action."
"There is no Spirit Severing Venerable here."
"It is a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure; this bastard has a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure on him."
A fourth-tier Demon Cultivator sent a Divine Sense Transmission.
It sensed the Eight Desolations Demon Sealing Tower in Zhou Sui's hand; it was precisely the power of this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure that released the Demon Sealing Domain, completely suppressing and sealing them in this place.
"How is this possible? How can a mere Nascent Soul Cultivator activate a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure?"
Many fourth-tier Demon Cultivators were in disbelief.
To tell the truth, it is not the case that one can use a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure just by obtaining it.
If one's strength is insufficient, even if one obtains a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, one can only stare helplessly at it.
One might even be sucked dry by the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure just by trying to activate it casually.
This is simply a forbidden Dharma Treasure.
If one's strength is not enough and one forces an activation, it is merely seeking one's own death.
Of course, once one encounters a Nascent Soul Cultivator who can temporarily activate a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, one can also treat the other party as a temporary Spirit Severing Venerable; even if it is only temporary, the threat it poses is unimaginable.
Because if this power wants to kill a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it is a matter of only a second.
"Who cares how he managed to activate the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure; the fact is that he did."
"The most important thing now is how to break free from the domain of the Heaven-Reaching Dharma Treasure."
"There is no way to break free; this is equivalent to a Transformation Domain, how can we resist it?"
Panic appeared on the faces of the many fourth-tier Leiying Clan Demon Cultivators.
At this moment, endless fear surged from the depths of their hearts.
If they had known that the Human Cultivator in this place was so terrifying, they would never have come here even if it meant death.
But it is too late to say anything now.
Rumble~~
At this moment, Zhou Sui struck instantly, holding his Flying Sword and unleashing the Execution Immortal Sword Formula.
Streaks of terrifying Formless Sword Light tore through the air and bombarded these fourth-tier Demon Cultivators.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Ying Shisan and the other fourth-tier Demon Cultivators had no power to resist and could only watch helplessly as streaks of Execution Immortal Sword Qi struck their bodies, their originally powerful demon bodies instantly split in two.
At the same time, the terrifying Execution Immortal Sword Qi invaded their bodies, causing horrific destruction.
In just an instant, their demon souls dissipated and vanished between heaven and earth.
It can be said that the fourth-tier Monster Beasts that came to attack this time were all slaughtered by Zhou Sui.
"Not bad, not bad."
"Is this the power of a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure? It is truly formidable."
Zhou Sui was also filled with admiration.
He had only just tested his blade, yet he had already demonstrated the formidable nature of the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
It is no wonder that a single Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure can stabilize a sect's Luck for ten thousand years.
If a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure like this is used properly, the power it erupts with is comparable to a Spirit Severing Venerable.
And it is a Spirit Severing Venerable with infinite lifespan at that.
One can imagine just how precious a Dharma Treasure of this level is.
But unfortunately, there are not many Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures across the entire Immortal Cultivation World; they have reached the point of being countable on one's fingers.
Even if one Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure appears, it will be snatched away by a Spirit Severing Venerable.
It would never be the turn of other Cultivators to obtain it.
"However, while a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure is formidable, it consumes too much Dharma Power."
Zhou Sui sensed the Nascent Soul Dharma Power within his body.
Even with the thick Dharma Power within his body, in just that short period of time, he had actually consumed half of it.
If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator, they would not be able to activate it for even a few seconds.
It is no wonder that only Spirit Severing Venerables can refine and activate Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures.
Other Cultivators, even if they obtain one, cannot activate it many times.
Of course, even so, it is enough to prove the formidable nature of a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
It is definitely not something that Dharma Treasures of other levels can compare to.
"Husband, you actually killed all these fourth-tier Monster Beasts?"
At this very moment, Taohua Shangren and the others were also dumbfounded.
Although they did indeed know that their husband's combat power was quite terrifying, who could have imagined that he would be able to kill all the invading fourth-tier Monster Beasts without leaving a single one behind.
If this matter were to spread, it would inevitably shock the entire Canglan Sea.
One might not dare to say that this combat power is the number one in the Canglan Sea.
But at the very least, it is ranked in the top ten.
"That's right, they are all finished off."
"But it was all with the help of the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure's power."
Zhou Sui said very modestly, attributing his combat power, which was different from ordinary people, to the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
He knew that the result of this battle would soon spread throughout the Canglan Sea and could not be hidden at all.
But even so, he still wanted to hide some of his trump cards.
To avoid enemies discovering anything.
Of course, even if he leaked the news of the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure now, it would not matter at all.
After all, there is no one in the Canglan Sea right now who can snatch the Treasure on his person.
Because according to his current strength, he is fully qualified to keep this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
"Even so, that is quite remarkable."
"How could an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator activate a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure?"
"Even if they obtained a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, I fear they would be unable to activate it more than a few times."
Chu Dieyi exclaimed repeatedly.
She came from the Heavenly Demon Sect, so she naturally knew best just how terrifying the power of a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure truly was; it was absolutely a sect-protecting Treasure.
The reason why the Tianjian Sect is the sect with the strongest combat power in the Canglan Sea is precisely because the Tianjian Sect possesses a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, which allows them to suppress all directions, with no one daring to provoke them.
The Xuanbao Pavilion is the same.
In the past, the Master of the Xuanbao Pavilion held a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure to negotiate with the various major sects of the Canglan Sea, which is why the Xuanbao Pavilion was able to establish its own branches everywhere in the Canglan Sea and spread its business throughout the region.
One can imagine just how powerful a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure is.
For any force, it is simply a qualitative improvement.
"Alright, let's not talk about such things for now."
"That group of Monster Beasts seems to want to run away."
"We should finish off this group of Monster Beasts first, then talk about the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure."
Xia Shuiyang said immediately.
She stared at the massive group of low-tier Monster Beasts in the distance; due to the death of the Fourth-tier Beast, the remaining group of Monster Beasts no longer dared to attack the Canglan Sea.
Now they were in a rout, fleeing in all directions.
If they continued to stay where they were, then it would certainly be a dead end.
However, those who are not of my race must have a different heart.
Even if these are low-tier Monster Beasts, the threat they pose to ordinary Human Cultivators is immense.
Naturally, they cannot be allowed to run rampant in the Canglan Sea.
"Husband, leave these low-tier Monster Beasts to us."
"Without the presence of the Fourth-tier Beast, these Monster Beasts are not worth mentioning at all."
Leng Yuexi and the other Dao Companions said excitedly.
After all, they are all Nascent Soul Ancestors; dealing with this group of low-tier Monster Beasts is simply a matter of minutes.
Do not be fooled by the sheer number of these Monster Beasts.
But what do they count for in the eyes of a Nascent Soul Ancestor? With a single strike, the power covers a thousand miles.
It is just like a nuclear weapon; when a nuclear bomb explodes, all living things are equal.
At this moment, even the greatest number of soldiers is useless; numbers no longer have much meaning.
Immediately, Leng Yuexi and the others struck, beginning to hunt down this group of low-tier Monster Beasts.
This was simply a one-sided massacre; no monster could stop them.
One day later.
The news that Xuanhuang Sect Master Zhou Sui had personally taken action to kill the Thunder Eagle Clan army spread like a hurricane to every corner of the Canglan Sea, becoming known to countless Cultivators.
Especially within the Wuji Alliance, it caused a massive sensation.
Every Nascent Soul Cultivator was dumbfounded.
"This is too absurd; is this news true or false?"
"Daoist Zhou personally took action and killed over a hundred Fourth-tier Beasts; how does that sound so fake?"
Some Nascent Soul Cultivators found it hard to believe.
Because the entire Wuji Alliance combined only has about thirty-some Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Such a battle record is equivalent to Zhou Sui being able to slaughter the entire Wuji Alliance several times over by himself.
It is truly too terrifying.
In fact, it was not just him; the Nascent Soul Cultivators present also felt it was incredibly absurd after hearing this news.
"It is true."
"Many Cultivators on the Three-Star Island Group saw this scene."
"They even brought back a large number of corpses of Fourth-tier Beasts and ordinary Monster Beasts."
"The Thunder Eagle Clan that attacked the Xuanhuang Sect this time has been almost completely wiped out; very few were able to escape."
Another Nascent Soul Cultivator said quietly.
After receiving this news, his heart was also deeply shocked, and he went to verify it at the first opportunity.
As a result, this news was thoroughly confirmed and verified to be correct.
After all, battle records can be faked, but the corpses of Fourth-tier Beasts cannot be faked.
"It is simply too exaggerated. How exactly did Daoist Zhou manage to do this? Didn't he just advance to the Nascent Soul Early Stage? Could it be that he borrowed the power of an Array Formation?"
"Nascent Soul Early Stage? That is old news. It is said that Daoist Zhou is now a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, and his strength has improved countless times compared to before."
"Damn, it has only been a few decades, and he actually advanced from the Nascent Soul Early Stage to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. How can his cultivation speed be this fast? It is too incredible."
"What does that count for? He is a genius who formed his Nascent Soul at a hundred years old; it is only natural for his cultivation speed to be this fast. After all, this is the God Transformation Disposition."
"Even with the God Transformation Disposition, this cultivation speed is too exaggerated. To be honest, could he be an immortal reincarnated? Perhaps a fallen immortal descended to the mortal world; otherwise, he wouldn't have such cultivation speed."
"I don't know, but in any case, it is likely only a matter of time before Daoist Zhou becomes a God Transformation."
The many Nascent Soul Cultivators were all stunned.
They never expected that Zhou Sui had actually advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
Decades ago, this Xuanhuang Sect Master was merely a newcomer to the Nascent Soul Realm.
But now, his cultivation has already surpassed most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Wuji Alliance.
One must know that to this day, many Nascent Soul cultivators remain trapped in the Nascent Soul Early Stage for hundreds of years, unable to break through even now.
It is easy to imagine just how difficult cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm truly is.
Yet, this monster Zhou Sui has advanced by leaps and bounds all the way, as if he had no bottlenecks at all.
It is truly too incredible.
"Even if Daoist Zhou has advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it is impossible for him to defeat more than a hundred Fourth-tier beasts, right?"
"I heard there is even a Tier 4 Upper Grade Demon Cultivator among them, who is also an elder of the Thunder Eagle Clan."
Someone still felt very doubtful.
"As for that, I have actually received news as well."
"The reason Daoist Zhou was able to achieve this is because he obtained a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure."
"It is named the Eight Desolations Demon Sealing Tower."
"It was only by relying on the power of this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure that he slaughtered all the Fourth-tier beasts."
A Nascent Soul cultivator said mysteriously.
What?!
Once these words were spoken, the Nascent Soul cultivators present were shaken, and expressions of sudden realization could not help but appear on their faces.
"The Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure Eight Desolations Demon Sealing Tower? Could it be the sect-protecting treasure of the Ancient Era's Transformation-stage sect, the Tu Mo Sect? But hasn't this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure long since vanished into the river of history?"
A Nascent Soul cultivator was well-versed in the many histories of the Ancient Era, and he recognized the origin of the Eight Desolations Demon Sealing Tower at the first moment.
In fact, every Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure in the Immortal Cultivation World is world-renowned; there is almost no such thing as an unknown Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
Therefore, whenever a name is spoken, it is recorded by history.
"No, it did not vanish."
"It is said that this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure has always been inside the Tu Mo Secret Realm controlled by the Three Great Demon Sects."
"It is just that the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Xuanyin Sect, and the Black Fiend Hall have never been able to control this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure."
"Not long ago, an accident occurred in the Tu Mo Secret Realm, which expelled the cultivators of the Three Great Demon Sects."
"At first, there were rumors that it was the Sea Clan cultivators playing tricks that caused the accident in the Tu Mo Secret Realm."
"Looking at it now, I am afraid it was Daoist Zhou who broke into the Tu Mo Secret Realm and took away the Eight Desolations Demon Sealing Tower."
"Pity the Three Great Demon Sects, who guarded the Tu Mo Secret Realm for a millennium, only to have the fruits of their labor plucked by Daoist Zhou in the end."
A Nascent Soul cultivator said with schadenfreude.
He was very familiar with the intelligence on the Three Great Demon Sects, so he naturally knew the news about the Tu Mo Secret Realm.
After all, a Transformation Secret Realm like this could not be kept hidden.
However, because the Tu Mo Secret Realm is located in the heartland of the Three Great Demon Sects.
Unless the other five major sects wanted to go to war with the Demon Sects, it would be impossible for them to seize the Tu Mo Secret Realm.
"Incredible, how on earth was this done? Isn't it said that to refine a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, one needs the Treasure-Passing Technique? But the Tu Mo Sect's Treasure-Passing Technique has long been lost; how did Daoist Zhou obtain it?"
"Just because you say it's lost doesn't mean it is; it just means you don't know about it, which doesn't mean Daoist Zhou doesn't."
"Daoist Zhou is truly blessed by the heavens. It is said he has always stayed in the Xuanhuang Sect to cultivate bitterly, but looking at it now, that might just be a facade; in fact, he likely goes out to adventure often to seize opportunities."
"Need you ask? With such a fast cultivation speed, it's impossible not to have opportunities."
"No wonder he progressed so rapidly; I fear the Transformation Secret Realm opportunity Daoist Zhou obtained was not just the Tu Mo Sect's, but even the Kurong Sect's opportunity might have been obtained by him."
"That is indeed the case. Previously, Daoist Zhou refined so many Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills; I fear it has a great deal to do with that Wood Daoist from the Kurong Sect, which allowed him to obtain so many Millennium Spirit Herbs."
"In other words, the inheritances of both the Tu Mo Sect and the Kurong Sect were obtained by Daoist Zhou? To actually inherit the legacies of two Transformation-stage sects, what kind of Luck is this."
"To tell the truth, this is also a good thing for our Wuji Alliance. Now that the Ancient Demon World is invading, it is naturally better for Human Race cultivators to be stronger; otherwise, how could our Human Race withstand the invasion of the Demon Race."
"If Daoist Zhou can advance to the Transformation stage, then even if the Ancient Demon World invades in full force in the future, we will have nothing to fear."
"The Alliance Master has truly gained a good son-in-law."
The many Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wuji Alliance discussed it one after another, feeling overjoyed.
Even though they knew Zhou Sui had obtained a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure and the inheritances of two Transformation-stage sects, they did not dare to harbor any crooked thoughts; this is the result brought about by the change in strength.
If Zhou Sui were still just a Golden Core cultivator, I fear these Nascent Souls would have moved to seize the inheritance and make it their own.
"Haha, this is the fortune of our Wuji Alliance."
"It is also the fortune of the Human Race."
"Spread this matter immediately, and let the cultivators of the Canglan Sea know the power of our Wuji Alliance."
Wuji Daoren said triumphantly.
He was also very pleased in his heart to have gained such a good son-in-law.
Not long after, under the push of the Wuji Alliance, the events that occurred at the Samsung Island Group spread rapidly.
Cultivators from the seven major Nascent Soul forces, including the Tianjian Sect, Xuanbao Pavilion, Piaomiao Palace, Sunset Sect, Heavenly Demon Sect, Xuanyin Sect, and Black Fiend Hall, also learned of this matter at the first moment.
The Nascent Soul Elders of the various forces were also shocked beyond measure.
"The Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure Eight Desolations Demon Sealing Tower? I never expected the Tu Mo Sect's former Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure to fall into the hands of a young junior. Those Three Great Demon Sects guarded it for a millennium, only to end up with nothing; it is truly laughable."
"It is said that the Xuanhuang Sect Master also obtained the Tu Mo Sect's inheritance and is himself a supreme Sword Immortal, having even reached the Fourth-tier Sword Dao realm; he can be called a heaven-sent genius."
"To think he is also a Sword Cultivator; it seems he has some affinity with our Tianjian Sect. It is a pity that such a peerless genius cannot join our Tianjian Sect; it is truly a great shame."
"However, this is also a good thing. In this chaotic era, the emergence of a Peerless Sword Immortal is a great boon for our Canglan Sea, and he can help us withstand quite a bit of pressure."
"Isn't that so? These Demon Cultivators have become increasingly rampant recently, even wanting to occupy the territory of our Immortal Cultivation World and establish a base; we absolutely cannot let these Monster Beasts succeed."
The many Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tianjian Sect discussed it one after another.
They still had a favorable impression of Zhou Sui; after all, they felt that as a Sword Cultivator who had cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm, he must be an extremely pure Sword Immortal.
If it were not for this, it would be impossible to cultivate to the realm of Sword Heart.
No one knows better than them just how difficult a thing it is to cultivate Fourth-Tier Sword Dao.
Of course, their primary plan right now is still to drive away the Monster Beasts from the Ancient Demon World.
…………
Xuanbao Pavilion.
"I never expected the Wuji Alliance to produce such a terrifying Nascent Soul cultivator. At only a little over a hundred years old, he has already advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. In the future, he might truly have the hope of advancing to Spirit Severing."
"No way, if that is the case, wouldn't this person have the chance to unify the Canglan Sea in the future? If that is truly so, do we need to nip this in the bud?"
"Sigh, it is already too late. He has long since completely matured. Not only is he a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, but he also possesses a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. Who could still be his opponent?"
"Isn't that so? If he were only a Golden Core Cultivator, perhaps there would still be a chance, but now there is no chance at all. One can only say that the speed of his rise was too fast, leaving us with no time to react."
"To tell the truth, times are different now. If it were a peaceful era, this idea would have no problems, but now we are facing the invasion of the Ancient Demon World, and in the future, there may even be Demon Cultivators at the Spirit Severing stage invading. We of the Human Race don't even know if we can gain a foothold in the Canglan Sea, so how could we have the heart for infighting?"
"That is indeed the case. The appearance of such a heaven-gifted talent is actually a good thing for our Human Race; otherwise, without such a figure emerging, we would surely be wiped out by the Demon Race."
"If this person can truly advance to Spirit Severing, then what harm is there in Xuanbao Pavilion submitting to him?"
"This is a war between two worlds; the more powerful Human Race cultivators there are, the better. There is no need for infighting, otherwise, it only benefits the Demon Race."
"Prepare a modest gift for the Xuanhuang Sect as a congratulatory gift for winning this great battle. Perhaps we will need to ask the Xuanhuang Sect for help in the future, so let's build a good relationship now."
"From now on, I fear the Canglan Sea will have one more Nascent Soul power. I wonder if the Wuji Alliance can accommodate a behemoth like the Xuanhuang Sect."
"Haha, perhaps the Xuanhuang Sect will directly swallow the Wuji Alliance. It is said that the daughter of the Wuji Alliance leader is herself the Dao Companion of that Daoist Zhou; the two sides are already one and the same."
Numerous Xuanbao Pavilion Nascent Soul cultivators discussed the matter.
To them, the sudden rise of the Xuanhuang Sect had a massive impact on the Canglan Sea.
Of course, facing the invasion of the Demon Race, they could only unite all forces that could be united.
…………
Sunset Sect.
"Tsk tsk, old man Wuji has simply picked up a great treasure, actually finding a son-in-law with the God Transformation Disposition. How can that dog's luck be so good?"
"Sigh, this fellow has had extremely good luck since he was young. Clearly only a Loose Cultivator by origin, yet he obtained a Spirit Severing Cave Abode, acquired the Spirit Severing inheritance, and rose all the way to the top, eventually becoming the leader of the Wuji Alliance. People simply cannot be compared."
"I heard that this Daoist Zhou is also an Alchemist. In the last few decades, he has frequently sold Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills in the Samsung Island Group, which means his attainments in Alchemy are extremely high, at least at the level of a Fourth-Tier Middle-grade Alchemist."
"In that case, this Daoist Zhou is one of our own kind. No wonder he is so talented."
"Since that is the case, we must find a time to meet with Daoist Zhou and ask for advice on Alchemy experience. Perhaps it could allow us to draw inferences and benefit greatly."
The attitude of the many Sunset Sect Nascent Soul cultivators was relatively peaceful.
After all, they themselves were a group of Alchemists, uncontentious and focused only on their own small plot of land.
Basically, they had good relationships with every power, even the Demon Sect.
Because whether it is a Righteous Cultivator or a Demon Sect cultivator, both need pills for assistance.
Therefore, the existence of the Sunset Sect is indispensable.
…………
Piaomiao Palace.
"I never expected that the Xuanhuang Sect Master would be so powerful, single-handedly crushing the Leiying Clan army and killing over a hundred Fourth-tier Beasts. It is truly inconceivable."
"This is also a matter of course. With the help of a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, one can briefly possess a Transformation Domain. Such power is fully capable of sweeping away Fourth-tier Beasts."
"To tell the truth, that Xuanhuang Sect Master is also a lecherous man. It is said that he has taken over a dozen wives and concubines, and even the daughter of the Wuji Alliance leader is just one of the concubines by his side."
"It is said that back then, Wuji Daoren took a fancy to that Xuanhuang Sect Master and, in order to curry favor with the other party, actually took the initiative to send his own daughter to be a concubine. It is truly shameless."
"What is most hateful is that Taohua Shangren actually flocked to him, losing all face for us women."
"There is no help for it; male cultivators with potential are always fought over by numerous female cultivators. If this person truly becomes a Spirit Severing Venerable in the future, I fear it would not be impossible for him to open a harem and take three thousand concubines."
"No way, if that is the case, wouldn't our Piaomiao Palace be in imminent danger? If the female cultivators of our Piaomiao Palace were targeted by that man, what should we do? Perhaps we would all be snatched away and forced to be concubines."
"Perhaps this is also a good thing. To become a concubine of a Spirit Severing Venerable is to ascend to the heavens in one step."
"That's right, it is said that the Xuanhuang Sect Master is peerlessly handsome, like an immortal descended to the mortal world. If one were to marry him, it might not be a loss; on the contrary, we would be the ones gaining a huge advantage."
"Fart! We female cultivators rely only on ourselves, not on men. Stop thinking about such things as getting something for nothing all day long."
Numerous Piaomiao Palace female cultivators discussed the matter.
They felt very complicated about the rise of the Xuanhuang Sect.
But because the distance was very far, they only treated this matter as gossip.
