Chapter 349: Ascending to Spirit-Body Cultivator, Tendons of the Dragon-Elephant, Divine Abilities

Several more days passed.

This ship finally arrived at Xuanhuang Island.

The moment they arrived, Xie Huaan discovered that this sea area was truly too bustling; it was packed everywhere with dense crowds of large ships.

In the sky, colorful Flying Boats were also flying about.

This port was incredibly prosperous, receiving a massive number of Cultivators every day.

Although Xuanhuang Island indeed possessed a Teleportation Array, the problem was that the price of the Teleportation Array was too expensive, so it was not the first choice for Cultivators; to save on expenses, they still relied on Flying Boats, ships, and the like for short-distance travel.

Of course, if they were heading to a very distant place, they would still choose the Teleportation Array.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Immediately, Xie Huaan and the others docked and entered the port.

They looked up and immediately saw an incredibly towering city appear before them; the city walls seemed to stretch for a thousand miles, hundreds of feet high, with dense Forbidden Arrays arranged all around.

Numerous Cultivators were fully armed, guarding the perimeter of the city, and an atmosphere of grim slaughter permeated the air.

"This is Xuanwu City on Xuanhuang Island."

"The entire island possesses a total of four cities open to the outside world."

"They are Xuanwu City, Qinglong City, Zhuque City, and Baihu City, located in four different positions."

"Each city stretches for ten thousand miles, enough to accommodate a massive population of Cultivators."

"As of now, each city has billions of people."

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator introduced.

"No way, how could there be so many people?"

Xie Huaan and the others were all greatly shocked, unable to help but widen their eyes.

To tell the truth, this was already equivalent to a super-large country, yet now it was just a single city.

It was simply one city equal to one country.

"Naturally, they migrated from islands all over the Canglan Sea."

"You also know that ever since the Fusion Phenomenon appeared, a large number of Monster Beasts have poured in from the Ancient Demon World."

"Now the Canglan Sea has become very unsafe; if you are even slightly careless, you will be attacked by Monster Beasts, leading to the death of your body and the extermination of your clan."

"It is precisely because of this that many Cultivator families abandoned their original foundations and migrated as a whole clan to arrive at Xuanhuang Island."

"Over the past hundred years, who knows how many people have migrated here."

"And as time goes on, the population is becoming larger and larger."

That Foundation Establishment Cultivator said with great emotion.

At the very beginning, there were basically not many people on Xuanhuang Island; it could be called desolate and uninhabited.

But following the establishment of the Xuanhuang Sect, a large number of Cultivators migrated here.

This caused Xuanhuang Island to become increasingly prosperous.

"With so many Cultivators living in this place, can Xuanhuang Island support them?"

Someone could not help but ask.

After all, the resources needed by Cultivators are truly too many; they need Spirit Rice, Spirit Fish, Spirit Meat, and so on. Daily necessities are extremely vast, and sometimes one Foundation Establishment Cultivator requires an entire family to provide for them.

One can imagine just how many resources a Cultivator needs to consume; it is simply unimaginable.

"That is a trivial matter."

"You must know that the Xuanhuang Sect is a Nascent Soul-level sect, occupying a sea area of billions of square kilometers."

"Who knows how many Third-tier Islands and Fourth-tier Islands there are in this sea area."

"Cultivators of the Xuanhuang Sect also head to these islands to reclaim farmland and plant Spirit Rice, Spirit Medicine, and so on."

"Once these crops mature, they are transported back to Xuanhuang Island."

"It can be said that this is gathering the resources of an entire sea area to supply this Fifth-tier Island."

"If you live here, you will discover that the Spirit Rice, Pills, Monster Beast meat, and so on in this place are all more than fifty percent cheaper than in the outside world, or even more."

That Foundation Establishment Cultivator said in a deep voice.

"No way, how could it possibly be so much cheaper?"

Many Loose Cultivators were dumbfounded.

They thought that the prices in the cities on Xuanhuang Island should be very expensive, but they did not expect them to be even cheaper than outside.

This point was truly inconceivable.

"This is also a matter of course, because the volume is simply too large."

"Spirit Rice from all over the sea area is gathered on Xuanhuang Island."

"When the volume is large and the demand is small, naturally it is not worth much."

"Moreover, Talisman Masters, Artifact Masters, Array Masters, Pill Masters, and other such Cultivators on Xuanhuang Island are everywhere."

"They also frantically manufacture Talismans, Dharma Treasures, Array Disks, Pills, and so on, which also causes the prices to be quite low."

"Many Cultivators stock up on goods on Xuanhuang Island and then sell them to various major islands."

"This also makes Xuanhuang Island the true central island."

"Of course, truly scarce resources are still quite expensive, such as the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, and so on."

That Foundation Establishment Cultivator explained.

"If that is the case, wouldn't this place be a paradise for Cultivators?"

Many Loose Cultivators' eyes suddenly lit up, and each of them felt very excited.

"Heh, don't dream."

"Although the prices on Xuanhuang Island are indeed low, the cost of living is still very high."

"Especially the rent here; it is more than ten times that of other places."

"You could say that you can afford the food here, but you cannot afford the rent."

"Moreover, if you do not rent a house in the city, you will be driven out."

That Foundation Establishment Cultivator chuckled.

How could he not want to live on Xuanhuang Island, but the rent was too expensive.

Once he paid the rent, he would have no way to cultivate.

"If that is the case, then what should we do?"

Many people wore bitter expressions.

They did not expect the rent on Xuanhuang Island to be so exorbitant; even as Cultivators, they simply could not afford it.

"Well, if you cannot afford to rent on Xuanhuang Island, you can go to the nearby Samsung Island Group."

"It can be said that this area has a large number of islands, which can house countless Loose Cultivators."

"Although the Spirit Vein is indeed a bit thin, it is barely enough for cultivation."

"If you need any resources, you can take a boat from the Samsung Island Group to Xuanhuang Island to purchase Treasure."

"Like us poor Loose Cultivators, we can only live in the Samsung Island Group."

"As for the four major cities of Xuanhuang Island, at the very least, one must be a Cultivator above Foundation Establishment to afford to live there."

"And even slightly poorer Foundation Establishment Cultivators cannot afford the rent."

That Foundation Establishment Cultivator said helplessly.

This was just like the capital in Zhou Sui's past life; ordinary people could not afford to rent in the city center and could only rent houses in the suburbs, which could also greatly save on living expenses.

On ordinary days, he would take a Flying Boat from the Samsung Island Group to reach Xuanhuang Island.

He did not even dare to use the Teleportation Array; his purse could not bear such an expense.

But this was enough; he only wanted to come to Xuanhuang Island to buy cheap supplies.

Even if he did not live here, it did not matter.

"Let's try it first; we are only here to participate in the Xuanhuang Sect Disciple assessment anyway."

"If we pass the assessment, we can live on Xuanhuang Island for free."

"If the assessment fails, it won't be too late to go to the Samsung Island Group."

The crowd discussed among themselves.

"Xuanhuang Sect, I hope you can accept me as a Disciple."

Xie Huaan clenched his fists; he looked at the towering city in the distance and the boundless islands with immense anticipation.

Stories similar to Xie Huaan's happened from time to time at the Xuanhuang Sect.

Many Cultivators heard of the Xuanhuang Sect's reputation and flocked here, hoping to become Disciples of the Xuanhuang Sect.

But the vast majority returned in defeat.

Only a small number of Cultivators possessing Luck could join.

However, they were still unwilling to leave and remained near Xuanhuang Island, hoping to find an opportunity.

But it must be said that Xuanhuang Island indeed possessed more opportunities and Treasure than the outside world.

For example, the Foundation Establishment Pill that assists Qi Refining Cultivators in advancing, the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill that assists Foundation Establishment Cultivators in advancing, the Nascent Soul Pill that assists Golden Core Cultivators in advancing, and so on, could all be sold on Xuanhuang Island.

If it were elsewhere, even if one had money, one would not be able to buy them.

This was also an extremely important reason why countless Cultivators were attracted to go there.

More importantly, it was also very safe here.

No Cultivator dared to run wild or go on a killing spree here.

Even if there were occasional battles between Cultivators, they would be resolved quickly and would not cause too much of a stir.

…………

At this very moment, Xuanhuang Sect, Xuanhuang Peak, a Cave Abode.

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground.

At this moment, the Dragon Elephant Gu deep within his heart permeated an inexplicable aura; it seemed as if his heart was hosting a Dragon Elephant, and as the heart beat continuously, it produced a powerful fluctuation.

It was as if every beat contained terrifying destructive power, enough to shatter mountains.

It was also enough to make the blood of countless Cultivators boil, and they might even faint completely.

With the repeated tempering of the mysterious blood energy within the Dragon Elephant Gu, Zhou Sui's body was also elevated to the extreme.

The so-called quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

It was the same now.

Boom~~

Immediately, as a wisp of mysterious blood energy surged out from the Dragon Elephant Gu and merged into Zhou Sui's body.

It seemed that at this moment, a certain bottleneck was broken, causing his body to undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Spirit Severing Body Cultivator, Dragon Elephant Tendon."

Zhou Sui opened his eyes, revealing a trace of terrifying sharp light.

He discovered that every tendon in his body had been permeated by the power of the Dragon Elephant Gu; the originally thin tendons had now transformed into Dragon Elephant Tendons.

Each tendon was like a giant dragon, covering every corner of his entire body.

One must know why the power of the True Dragon and Divine Elephant was so great; this had a great deal to do with the tendons in their bodies.

For example, the dragon tendon was a key part of a True Dragon.

The existence of the dragon tendon allowed every inch of the True Dragon's muscles to be perfectly utilized, forming a whole.

If the dragon tendon were lost, then the True Dragon would be a useless dragon, having lost all its power.

"Too strong, is this the Dragon Elephant Tendon?"

Zhou Sui exclaimed in endless wonder.

He sensed that every tendon in his body had been fully tempered, wrapping around every muscle and even every bone throughout his entire body.

This also caused his body to form a perfect whole, seamless and unified, as one primordial entity.

It was as if loose sand had now gathered together to form a massive sphere.

The power that could be unleashed from within was simply incomparable to before.

In terms of strength alone, it had increased by at least a hundredfold.

It was absolutely beyond the imagination of many a Cultivator.

Vaguely, he sensed that every tendon within his body seemed like a dormant True Dragon, as if True Dragons were residing inside him, causing the power in his body to increase without limit.

Boom~~

At this moment, Zhou Sui gently threw a punch; he did not use any Dharma Power, yet he easily broke the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom and erupting with a terrifying, invisible punch force.

The originally very sturdy wall of the Cave Abode instantly showed a clearly visible fist print, and the entire wall developed dense cracks, appearing as if it were about to collapse.

One could imagine that the terror of his current strength was simply like that of a juvenile dragon.

"This place is not very suitable for testing the body's strength."

"I had better go somewhere else."

With a 'whoosh', Zhou Sui's figure flashed, and he immediately arrived at a Teleportation Array on Xuanhuang Island.

Then he took the Teleportation Array and instantly teleported to a secluded location.

This place was none other than the Tu Mo Secret Realm.

Ever since the demons inside the Tu Mo Secret Realm had been completely wiped out, this Secret Realm was empty, like a desolate wasteland.

Therefore, this had become the best place for him to test his strength.

Even if he caused a massive commotion, outsiders would have no way of knowing.

Moreover, he would not have to worry about other things being affected or even destroyed by the power he unleashed.

"I am already at my fourth evolution now, aren't I?"

Zhou Sui stood on the ground, silently contemplating the surging power within him; now, it was not just a simple matter of having birthed the Dragon Elephant Tendon, as his body had undergone an all-encompassing evolution.

For instance, his elephant skin had already manifested three layers of the Divine Elephant Barrier, and his entire body seemed to be wrapped in an invisible barrier of power, such that no external force could damage his skin.

Then there were the dragon bones within him; every inch of bone had been thoroughly evolved, presenting a dark golden color, with dense True Dragon Runes appearing upon them.

The most terrifying part was his heart, the Dragon Elephant Heart.

It seemed the Dragon Elephant deep within his heart had also grown stronger, growing from a juvenile True Dragon into a young True Dragon, and from a juvenile Divine Elephant into a young Divine Elephant, making the power of his heart even more terrifying.

This also caused his body's recovery rate to be more than ten times stronger than before.

If his body were injured, it would likely heal rapidly within a few minutes.

Apart from a few special toxins, ordinary poisons could not harm his body; they would be expelled by the powerful blood within him, or even completely evaporated.

"Right, this seems to be a Domain."

"The Domain Power unique to a Transformation God."

"This is the Dragon Elephant Domain."

Zhou Sui clenched his fist; he felt an invisible bloodline power spread out, seemingly fusing the power of his essence, energy, and spirit, instantly covering an area of one hundred thousand kilometers in radius.

A terrifying Dragon Elephant Domain shrouded the one hundred thousand kilometer area.

All the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth in this region was at his disposal.

It seemed that with a single thought, the Spirit Qi in this region would cease to flow.

"Too strong."

Zhou Sui struck out with his palm, and a terrifying pressure of heaven and earth crushed down, slamming fiercely into the mountains in the distance.

Instantly, one ten-thousand-foot mountain after another was completely flattened by this palm.

It was as simple as crushing tofu.

The entire earth immediately showed a huge, clearly visible giant palm print.

The surroundings were permeated with the terrifying might of the Dragon Elephant.

Wisps of Dragon Elephant aura were released, creating incomparable gravity.

Ordinary creatures that approached would be instantly pressed to the ground, unable to move.

If they were creatures with weak spiritual power, they would be even more intimidated by this dragon might and instantly fall into a coma.

They would be unable to wake up for a short time.

The might of such a Dragon Elephant Domain was simply beyond Zhou Sui's imagination.

Only now did he truly understand what the might of a Transformation God meant.

"The Dragon Elephant Domain contains characteristics such as suppression, intimidation, and slowing."

"Upon entering the Dragon Elephant Domain, any Cultivator will bear immense pressure, as if carrying a mountain."

"Moreover, it can perfectly control the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth within a hundred thousand kilometers, unleashing an attack power more than a hundred times that of one's own body."

"Thus, a single strike is like the might of heaven; this is the Spirit Severing Venerable, like a god."

Zhou Sui exclaimed in endless wonder.

Although he had seen Spirit Severing Venerables before and had even fought with them, before advancing to the Spirit Severing stage, he did not have a particularly deep understanding of the power possessed by this realm.

However, now that he had advanced to become a Spirit Severing Body Cultivator and mastered the Dragon Elephant Domain, he had a thorough grasp of the power possessed by a Spirit Severing stage, as he himself was equivalent to possessing the combat power of a Spirit Severing Initial Stage.

Having tried the power of the Transformation Domain, he immediately knew why a Transformation God was a god among mortals.

An existence of this level could easily manipulate the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth across an area of ten thousand miles.

The power erupted in every gesture was enough to shatter the heavens and split the earth, like a falling meteorite, containing the power to destroy the world.

Even a Nascent Soul Sect would likely be wiped out by a Spirit Severing Venerable with a single palm.

This is the terror of a Spirit Severing Venerable.

A difference of one level is simply a world of difference, unimaginable.

The Dragon Elephant Domain is more formidable than ordinary Transformation Domains.

If other Transformation Domains were to collide with it, they would certainly be no match for the Dragon Elephant Domain.

A slight collision would be enough to tear apart the enemy's domain and seize the absolute upper hand.

"Tsk tsk, this kind of power is simply a divine skill for bullying the weak."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

He felt that if he used the Transformation Domain to fight against peers at the Spirit Severing stage, it might not necessarily yield the best results.

But against a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it would definitely be a crushing blow.

Once the Transformation Domain is unleashed, a Nascent Soul Cultivator has no way to fight and will be instantly suppressed.

No matter how many Nascent Soul Cultivators attack, it is useless.

Only by using the power of an Array Formation can a Nascent Soul Cultivator possibly contend with a Spirit Severing Venerable.

"Moreover, fighting within the domain, I am an invincible existence."

Zhou Sui moved his consciousness.

He activated his Dragon Elephant Domain, expanding it to a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers.

At this moment, countless Spirit Qi in the sky gathered together, seemingly condensing into ten true dragons and ten divine elephants.

Boom!

Immediately, under Zhou Sui's control, streaks of Dharma Power true dragons and Dharma Power divine elephants bombarded the distance, instantly shattering mountain after mountain and leveling this area to the ground.

This also caused devastating destruction to this region.

Fortunately, this was an uninhabited place.

Otherwise, it would certainly have attracted the attention of countless Cultivators.

"Hmm, it seems a Bloodline Supernatural Power has been conceived."

"This Bloodline Supernatural Power is called Dragon Elephant Spear."

In an instant, Zhou Sui perceived a vast amount of information surging from the depths of his bloodline, sinking into the depths of his consciousness, seemingly forming his instinct, just like breathing.

He also instantly mastered this Bloodline Supernatural Power.

Boom~~

Suddenly, Zhou Sui moved his consciousness, and the Dragon Elephant Power within his body surged out, intertwining with each other to form a terrifying vortex, like dragons and elephants dancing.

A dark golden spear appeared out of thin air, with dense Dragon Elephant Runes emerging on it.

And this spear was permeated with a terrifying power of sharpness.

Even the power of the Execution Immortal Sword Formula is only at this level.

Swoosh!

Immediately, Zhou Sui held this dark golden spear and smashed it toward the distant mountain.

This dark golden spear was silent, merging into the Void, and advanced at an astonishing speed.

Boom!

The next second, this dark golden spear instantly pierced through that ten-thousand-foot-tall mountain, and the entire mountain was shaken to pieces.

Its momentum did not even decrease, and it successively pierced through hundreds of mountain peaks.

Everywhere it passed, it simply destroyed everything.

A crack stretching over ten thousand miles also appeared on the ground.

The surrounding rocks were all shaken into powder.

Sharp, armor-piercing, immense force, and incredibly fast.

This is the Bloodline Supernatural Power, Dragon Elephant Spear.

"This is one of the strongest offensive supernatural powers of the Dragon Elephant Gu."

"Condensed from the Dragon Elephant vortex Dharma Power, it transforms into the Dragon Elephant Spear, containing the Dragon Elephant Power."

"Once a spear is thrust out, it is indestructible and contains armor-piercing power."

"Even if wearing a defensive Dharma Treasure, it will be instantly pierced through."

"Even if it cannot be pierced, the impact caused will shake the enemy to death, turning them into meat paste."

"It is as if one has been trampled by a dragon elephant, impossible to resist."

Zhou Sui's eyes revealed a glimmer of light, very excited.

He could feel the formidable nature of this Bloodline Supernatural Power, capable of condensing a Dragon Elephant Spear and instantly killing the enemy, enough to instantly nail the enemy in mid-air.

If combined with the power of the Dragon Elephant Domain, it is simply indestructible and invincible.

"Now I could probably slap a Tier 4 Upper Grade flood dragon to death with one palm."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists.

Terrifying power surged from the depths of his body; every inch of his muscles contained immense force, and a slight explosion would cause unparalleled destructive power.

As his Body Cultivator realm ascended to the Spirit Severing stage, his body's evolution was now becoming increasingly terrifying.

Vaguely, he had become a non-human creature, and his physical fitness was incredibly strong.

A slight punch could push away the surrounding air, forming a vacuum zone.

"Hmm?!"

Just at this moment, Zhou Sui's heart stirred; he looked up at the sky, and it seemed that countless tribulation clouds began to surge out from the Void, covering a radius of several thousand miles.

Even the speed at which these tribulation clouds emerged was getting faster and faster.

Cracks even appeared in the sky, as if the power of Tribulation Lightning was surging out from the fissures in the Void.

"Not good, this is the Transformation God Lightning Tribulation."

"I must absolutely not be impulsive; now is not the time to undergo the Transformation God Lightning Tribulation."

A glimmer of sharp light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

Clearly, the aura on his body was too powerful, having already triggered the mechanisms of this world.

It seemed to have triggered the Transformation God Lightning Tribulation.

If things continued like this, then he would certainly need to undergo the tribulation.

However, he was not yet prepared.

If he were to force the tribulation, then it would surely be more ominous than auspicious.

He could sense that once the Transformation God Lightning Tribulation descended, it would likely be even more terrifying than Ye Feirou's previous Eight-fold Lightning Tribulation.

Boom~~

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui moved his mind and immediately activated the Phantom Demon Transformation Art, restraining the aura on his body, causing his aura as a Spirit Severing Body Cultivator to drop, appearing as if he were an ordinary person.

After losing Zhou Sui's aura, the tribulation clouds above the sky seemed very confused, unable to find the target person anymore.

They still remained in the sky for a period of time, seemingly unwilling to give up.

However, they could not persist for too long after all.

Soon, the tribulation clouds above the sky rapidly receded, disappearing from this sky just like that.

A lightning tribulation was also dissipated into nothingness.

"It really comes down to the Phantom Demon Transformation Art; if not for this Secret Technique to restrain my aura, I might have truly encountered the Transformation God Lightning Tribulation." Zhou Sui was very satisfied; fortunately, he had already cultivated this Secret Technique to the Grandmaster level.

Even the Breath Concealment Technique of a Spirit Severing Venerable could not hope to compare to his.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Sui returned from the Tu Mo Secret Realm to his Cave Abode on Xuanhuang Peak.

After all, this amount of time was completely sufficient for him to familiarize himself with the surging power in his body.

Wasting any more time actually didn't have much meaning.

"Hmm."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui moved his mind and immediately summoned his Virtual Panel.

He wanted to see how his body data was now.

"A lifespan of fifty thousand years? As expected, after becoming a Spirit Severing Body Cultivator, my lifespan has also been further extended."

Zhou Sui felt very satisfied.

In fact, he could also sense that his life aura was becoming increasingly long and vast; he was now practically a long-lived species, and even those long-lived races among the Demon Race could hardly compare to him.

Fifty thousand years of time—that was simply eternal.

Moreover, he was currently less than three hundred years old, which was incredibly young.

Although he did not know how many years a Cultivator in the Spirit World could live, he estimated that few could compare to him.

"Have the hundred arts of immortal cultivation and various divine abilities and techniques not improved much either?"

Zhou Sui looked at the various skills he possessed; they all seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

Unless he ascended to become a Spirit Severing Venerable, these skills would not receive any improvement.

After all, the capabilities of many immortal cultivation techniques were actually closely related to one's cultivation level.

If one's cultivation level had not reached a certain realm, it was impossible to master the corresponding abilities.

Therefore, over these ten years, the progress of his various divine abilities and techniques, as well as the hundred arts of immortal cultivation, was not very large.

At most, it was just an increase in proficiency.

There was no qualitative improvement.

However, he was not very anxious, as these abilities were currently sufficient to use.

Looking across the entire Immortal Cultivation World, there were likely not many who could compare to him.

"It is a pity that my cultivation level still hasn't improved much."

Of course, what Zhou Sui regretted most was that his cultivation level had not actually improved by much.

He had originally thought that during these ten years, through his constant bitter cultivation, his cultivation level should have improved quite a bit.

Yet it had only increased to 78% progress.

However, this is something that cannot be helped.

Cultivation at the Nascent Soul Late Stage is inherently very slow, often calculated in units of a hundred years.

A mere ten years is nothing but the snap of a finger; it counts for nothing at all.

Some Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators might not even make the slightest progress in their cultivation even after ten years of bitter practice.

"If one wants to improve cultivation efficiency, I'm afraid one must improve their Spirit Root aptitude."

"Once one possesses the aptitude of a Heavenly Spirit Root, the efficiency would likely be several times greater than it is now."

"Don't look at the First Grade Spiritual Root and the Heavenly Spirit Root as merely differing by one grade."

"But this is simply the difference between a Nascent Soul and a Spirit Severing Venerable; they are worlds apart and cannot be mentioned in the same breath."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, his own Spirit Root aptitude has already reached 75% progress.

If he could find some Millennium Spirit Herb that enhances Spirit Root aptitude, then reaching the Heavenly Spirit Root would not be an impossible task.

However, his Spirit Root aptitude is already quite good.

Wanting to find more Spirit Medicine to enhance Spirit Root aptitude is extremely difficult; it is not such a simple matter.

But this is not impossible either.

"Right, perhaps I can borrow the power of a Dao Companion."

"If I can obtain the help of Qian Ziyun, perhaps I can elevate my Spirit Root aptitude to the realm of the Heavenly Spirit Root."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin, thinking of this path.

This is not an impossible matter either.

After all, Qian Ziyun possesses Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude and has profound cultivation.

If he were to engage in Dual Cultivation with her, not only could he elevate his Spirit Root aptitude to the level of a Heavenly Spirit Root, but he could even elevate his cultivation to the realm of Nascent Soul Perfection.

It could be described as killing many birds with one stone.

"Calculating the time, Qian Ziyun should also be about to start ascending to the Spirit Severing Venerable realm."

"She has chosen Heavenly Demon Island as the location for her tribulation."

Zhou Sui thought for a moment.

One must know that with the appearance of the Fusion Phenomenon and the acquisition of energy from the Ancient Demon World, the Spirit Veins throughout the Canglan Sea have all been improved to varying degrees.

Some Fourth-tier High-grade Spiritual Veins have successively advanced, rising to the level of Fifth-tier Low-grade Spirit Veins.

Among them is the Spirit Vein of Heavenly Demon Island.

During this period, it has already been upgraded to Fifth-tier Low-grade.

Although it cannot compare to the Fifth-tier High-grade Spirit Vein of Xuanhuang Island, it is enough for Qian Ziyun to ascend and become a Spirit Severing Venerable.

That is why Qian Ziyun chose Heavenly Demon Island.

Of course, coming to Xuanhuang Island would naturally be the best choice.

The problem is, Qian Ziyun does not want to run into Ye Feirou at all; she would rather die than come to Xuanhuang Island.

She even wants to give Ye Feirou a huge fright after she ascends to the Spirit Severing Venerable realm.

She, Qian Ziyun, has never lost to anyone in her life.

Just at this moment, Zhou Sui's communication token suddenly rang; it was sent by Qian Ziyun.

"Zhou Lang, I am about to ascend to the Spirit Severing Venerable realm, come and help me."

A message was transmitted immediately.

"Alright."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly and immediately sent a message back.

Although Heavenly Demon Island is very far from Xuanhuang Island, he had previously gone to Heavenly Demon Island quietly and even built a secret Teleportation Array on Heavenly Demon Island that could lead directly to Tianmo Peak.

After all, with the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect helping in secret, such a thing was truly too simple.

Therefore, he could arrive at Heavenly Demon Island in an instant, without needing to waste any time.

Whoosh!

Not long after, Zhou Sui left his Cave Abode, took the Teleportation Array of Xuanhuang Island, and arrived at Tianmo Peak on Heavenly Demon Island, the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared inside an Immortal Palace on Tianmo Peak.

And in the vast Immortal Palace, a graceful and beautiful figure appeared.

This person was none other than Qian Ziyun.

The other party was wearing a red long dress, revealing a graceful figure; that chest was simply unreasonably large, creating a visual impact.

Because her figure was too good, wearing such a thin gauze dress was practically the same as wearing nothing.

Even though he had seen it countless times, Zhou Sui was still heart-struck, his blood boiling, unable to suppress it; this woman is definitely a demoness.

Seeing Zhou Sui's expression, Qian Ziyun was very proud; sure enough, her charm was still great. With just a slight use of her methods, the man before her was captivated by her, even to the point of being head over heels.

Pfft, dog of a man, he was acting all righteous in front of me before.

In the end, didn't he still fall under my pomegranate skirt?

"You're about to ascend to the Spirit Severing Venerable realm, yet you're still pulling these little tricks."

"Aren't you afraid that I will bring you to justice right here and now?"

Zhou Sui stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Qian Ziyun's slender waist, and looked at her with an aggressive gaze.

What?!

In an instant, Qian Ziyun's pretty face flushed red; she felt a thick aura instantly spread over her entire body, as if it had wrapped her up all at once, making her unable to move.

She could feel Zhou Sui's strong and powerful arms, containing explosive strength.

This also made it impossible for her to break free.

She felt just like a princess kidnapped by a giant dragon, completely powerless to resist.

It seemed that in the next second, as long as this man wished, he could execute her on the spot.

Moreover, she was unable to make any move at all.

She wouldn't even be able to resist.

"You monster, you actually became a Spirit Severing Body Cultivator."

"How is that possible?"

At this very moment, Qian Ziyun looked at Zhou Sui with her beautiful eyes in disbelief; she sensed that Zhou Sui's body contained power that was terrifying to the extreme, and it seemed an invisible Transformation Domain was spreading out.

As the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, she was naturally well-informed.

She realized at once that the man before her was perhaps already a Spirit Severing Body Cultivator.

To tell the truth, to a certain extent, the man before her was already a Spirit Severing Venerable.

How much time had even passed, yet he had actually raised his cultivation to such a level.

Even though she knew this man possessed the bearing of an immortal, it was still too exaggerated.

Even in the historical records of the Heavenly Demon Sect, she had never seen such a man; it was truly inconceivable.

Moreover, this man was not even three hundred years old yet.

A Spirit Severing cultivator under three hundred years old, no matter where they were placed, was extremely terrifying.

Even in the Ancient Era, there probably weren't such young Spirit Severing Venerables.

Perhaps only in the Spirit World could one be found.

The problem was, what kind of cultivation environment was the Spirit World, and what kind was the Immortal Cultivation World; the two simply could not be compared.

"Oh, your perception is quite keen."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

"Brother Zhou, this humble one was wrong, please spare me this time."

Qian Ziyun immediately admitted defeat, looking pitifully at the man before her.

She knew she had played too big this time.

If this man wanted to eat her, he would probably devour her completely.

Even if she truly ascended to Spirit Severing, she might not be this man's match, let alone now.

Of course, if she were to be taken by this man, she wouldn't mind too much.

However, she still wanted to ascend to Spirit Severing and could not lose her Pure Yin Body at this time.

"I'll spare you this time, don't play with fire next time, understand?"

Zhou Sui was very satisfied.

After all, he couldn't just make a move; a Nascent Soul female cultivator versus a Spirit Severing female cultivator, he could still distinguish which was more important.

Fine food still requires time to cook.

He would not ruin his previous plans because of a momentary impulse.

"Understood."

Qian Ziyun nodded obediently, just like an obedient little wife.

"Have you chosen the location for your tribulation? Where is it?"

Zhou Sui asked.

"I've chosen it; it's right here at Tianmo Peak."

"The area for ten thousand miles around is an absolute forbidden zone, and no one dares to enter."

"I previously instructed the Disciples and Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect that they must not approach while I am in seclusion."

"So this place is absolutely safe."

Qian Ziyun said immediately; she was very confident, as she had made full preparations for passing this Spirit Severing tribulation.

It could be said that everything was ready, and she only lacked the east wind.

"Very good, since that's the case, then let's begin."

"With me here, you will certainly be extremely smooth."

Zhou Sui looked at Qian Ziyun very seriously.

He didn't even ask if Qian Ziyun was truly prepared; they had been preparing for ten years, how could she not be ready?

So he wouldn't say such nonsense.

"Mm."

Hearing this, for some reason, Qian Ziyun felt her confidence greatly increase; with such a man supporting her from behind, if she failed, then she would truly be a good-for-nothing.

Her figure flashed, and she bid farewell to Zhou Sui, returning to her Cave Abode.

As for Zhou Sui, he remained outside the Cave Abode to guard Qian Ziyun.

…………

Several weeks later.

The entire Heavenly Demon Island was covered in dense tribulation clouds, with peals of thunder.

Clearly, with full preparations, Qian Ziyun had successfully reached Spirit Severing as a matter of course.

Moreover, with Zhou Sui's help, she also successfully passed the Heavenly Demon Tribulation and the Transformation God Lightning Tribulation.

This Transformation God Lightning Tribulation was also an Eight-fold Lightning Tribulation, with unparalleled power.

However, it was all swallowed by the Tribulation Thunder Gu, weakening the power of the Tribulation Lightning.

Furthermore, the Tribulation Thunder Gu also gained huge benefits this time.

Vaguely, there seemed to be signs of it ascending to the Fifth-tier.

"I never expected the Transformation God Lightning Tribulation to have such a terrifying Heavenly Demon Tribulation."

"No wonder no one has been able to successfully reach the Transformation God realm in the past tens of thousands of years."

"If not for the help of my dear Zhou, I fear I would have been in grave danger this time."

Qian Ziyun still felt a lingering fear.

Her clothes were now tattered and she was covered in dust and dirt, having just survived the Eight-fold Lightning Tribulation.

Thinking back to the Heavenly Demon Tribulation and Transformation God Lightning Tribulation she had just endured, she was also filled with lingering terror.

The many preparations she had made beforehand had been of no use at all.

They were completely useless from the very beginning.

Fortunately, she had her man's help, which allowed her to successfully pass the Transformation God tribulation without any mishaps.

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhou Sui with immense gratitude.

If not for this man, she would likely never have been able to successfully ascend to the Transformation God realm in her entire life.

"Haha, I told you long ago that you didn't need to worry."

"Although the Transformation God tribulation is terrifying, with my help, it was sure to be without any mishaps."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly and reached out to affectionately stroke her head.

"Last time, when Ye Feirou was able to successfully pass the tribulation, I suppose it was also because you helped her, right?"

Qian Ziyun did not believe that Ye Feirou was truly that formidable, capable of passing the tribulation on her own strength; she must have also relied on this man's power to succeed.

"That's right, I did indeed step in."

Zhou Sui nodded.

"Hmph, I knew that woman wasn't that impressive."

Hearing this, Qian Ziyun felt completely refreshed; she was indeed not a bit inferior to that woman.

It was just relying on a man to ascend to the Transformation God realm anyway.

What was so great about that?

Now she also had a man to help her.

"My dear Zhou, now that I have ascended to the Transformation God realm, don't you want to spend a night of pleasure with me?"

Qian Ziyun looked at Zhou Sui with seductive, watery eyes.

*Thump*, Zhou Sui flicked her smooth forehead with his finger and said crossly, "You have only just ascended to the Transformation God realm; shouldn't you hurry to consolidate your cultivation? Do you want your cultivation to regress? To think you're still letting your mind wander."

"I just want to be with you."

Qian Ziyun covered her red, bumped forehead, pouted, and looked aggrieved.

But for some reason, she felt blissful inside.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go into seclusion."

Zhou Sui said with a straight face.

"Mm."

Qian Ziyun had no choice but to obey obediently.
