Chapter 608: Chapter 223: Dancing on a Tightrope, What Can the Daoist Refiner of Virtuality Do? (Requesting Monthly Votes)

Longevity Immortal City.

Zhou Family.

At this moment, the Zhou Family was on high alert, with Jin Quanxiu personally guarding the outside of Zhou Shen’s room. Zhou Ning led the family members on constant patrols, afraid of any accidents happening.

As for Chen Chen, he was aware of this and didn’t have any thoughts of approaching Zhou Shen’s location. Instead, he patrolled the perimeter of the Zhou Family, doing his bit to help.

This made Zhou Ning’s impression of him improve a lot, but even so, he didn’t express anything, not even verbal promises. However, without realizing it, Zhou Ning’s daily meals had greatly improved.

Anyway, those who understood the situation would understand. Chen Chen gladly accepted this and understood everything without needing any words. Saying it out loud would just make it awkward.

Yesterday, under Liang Sheng’s instruction, Huang Yifan had arrived at the Zhou Family and personally delivered a bottle of Nascent Soul Pills.

After that, Huang Yifan did not leave the Zhou Family and instead hid in the shadows, cooperating with Jin Quanxiu to guard Zhou Shen’s breakthrough.

The two of them, one out in the open and the other hidden, formed a joint force, hoping to help Zhou Shen successfully break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

This would be the first homegrown Nascent Soul Master of the Zhou Family since they joined the Immortal City. The Zhou Family had been waiting for such a Nascent Soul Master for a long, long time.

Therefore, the Zhou Family would not tolerate any failures. Their current top priority was to block all unexpected factors and not let anyone disturb Liang Sheng.

At this moment, the sky had turned dark, with stars scattered across the sky. The light curtain that Feng Yuan had cast to cover the Outer Heaven Beast Swamp was still emitting a faint glow.

Ordinary cultivators in the Immortal City knew very little about Zhou Shen’s impending breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm today, but the City Lord Mansion naturally knew about it. However, they kept it tacitly.

Feng Yuan did not have any intention to stop Zhou Shen’s breakthrough. At this time, their concern should be focused on the person behind the Zhou Family, not Zhou Shen himself.

Although he indeed possessed the talent of a gifted child, innate talents that have not been converted into actual strength were not worth mentioning at this time and did not pose a threat yet.

There were priorities in everything. As a cultivator of great strength like Feng Yuan, he understood the importance of prioritizing things during this Era of Great Contention.

Having been tense for several days, he finally relaxed a bit today because a reply from the Capital City had finally been received. His master, Chunyangzi, would soon arrive.

Ling Xiaozi ultimately decided to stay in Capital City Soul Song to be prepared for any eventuality, while Chunyangzi, eager to protect his disciple, decided to personally visit Longevity Immortal City after much deliberation.

As for the person behind the scenes described by Feng Yuan, Chunyangzi was also somewhat uneasy in his heart, with hardly any confidence of success.

After all, based on the introductions of Feng Yuan and Kaiyuan Child, the other party’s cultivation level was likely higher than theirs, but he had no choice but to come.

If he didn’t come, all their prior planning and efforts would probably be in vain, merely providing assistance to others.

Not to mention that this involved the Seeking Truth Lineage. If he had known about this, perhaps he wouldn’t have been so greedy back then, and now he had no choice but to press on with gritted teeth.

Emperor Dongsheng’s seclusion in Hidden Dimension did not mean that he was unaware of the situation of the Immortal Dynasty. For the sake of Feng Yuan’s future, Chunyangzi had already decided to disregard everything.

However, during this great contention, being slow once would make one slow every step of the way. In history, there had been people who had succeeded in catching up, but they were rare and could be considered as precious as a phoenix’s feather and a unicorn’s horn.

Under such circumstances, Chunyangzi did not want to gamble. He did not want the plans of Longevity Immortal City to affect Feng Yuan’s progress.

Therefore, he was even more anxious than Ling Xiaozi. Moreover, Feng Yuan was more outstanding than Kaiyuan Child, which was understandable under such circumstances.

According to past records, once he crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, Feng Yuan would actually be more qualified to participate in the final battle of Heaven’s Pride compared to other gifted children in the Immortal Dynasty.

Therefore, when Chunyangzi replied to Feng Yuan that he would soon come to Longevity Immortal City, he immediately set off without any hesitation.

That was the reason why Feng Yuan could temporarily sit still. Thinking about his master’s impending arrival, he glanced at the Zhou Family’s direction once more and finally decided to close his eyes and not look, out of sight, out of mind.

As for Kaiyuan Child, he was tracking the movements of the cultivators in the Immortal City heading to the Outer Heaven. Before Chunyangzi’s arrival, he didn’t want the cultivators in the Immortal City to disrupt their plans.

In any case, before Chunyangzi’s arrival, there must be no disturbances in the Immortal City. This was their lowest tolerance for the situation in the Immortal City.

Just wait a little longer, and the situation would soon change!

…

Zhou Family.

At this moment, after adjusting his state to perfection, Zhou Shen did not hesitate and immediately took the Nascent Soul Pill that Huang Yifan had brought him.

He had been waiting for this moment for a very long time, especially since he had almost died on the stage earlier. He had become somewhat impatient.

After all, if it hadn’t been for Liang Sheng’s rescue, he probably would have perished long ago, and where would he have had the chance to pursue the path of Immortality Cultivation now?

Therefore, personal strength was the foundation of cultivation. Moreover, since the Zhou Family had moved to the Immortal City from the Desolate Regions for so many years, it was time for a Nascent Soul Master to emerge.

This was not only a matter for Zhou Shen himself but also represented the Zhou Family’s fortune. If he succeeded in breaking through, it would undoubtedly be a huge inspiration to the young members of the Zhou Family.

Furthermore, he didn’t want to disappoint any member of the Zhou Family. However, he also knew that having such a mentality during an imminent breakthrough was not ideal, so he immediately adjusted his mindset accordingly.

He was a Golden Core Consummation cultivator not yet 300 years old. Even if he failed this time, there wouldn’t be too much of an issue. If not this time, there would be the next time. After all, he was taking a High-Grade Nascent Soul Pill, and failure wouldn’t cause any damage. There would be no significant setbacks, so he had plenty of time to wear down the bottlenecks.

After adjusting his mindset, Zhou Shen no longer hesitated. Once the Nascent Soul Pill entered his body, there was a loud rumble inside him. A tremendous force surged through his body’s spiritual veins.
