Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

A thousand miles of deep ravine, towering cliffs, gloomy and dark, with the sounds of beasts and insects echoing.

The two were highly vigilant, treating every plant and tree as a potential threat. Fortunately, they encountered no difficulties, swiftly flying across, reaching the other end of the ravine in just over an hour.

Presumably, the large flock of tooth birds from a few days ago had scared away the nearby lurking demons and beasts, and they wouldn't dare to return in the short term.

Emerging from the ravine, the view suddenly opened up, with an endless expanse of lush, cloud-like giant trees filling the horizon, stretching into the distant mist, its boundaries unknown.

"Can we only pass through this forest from the middle?" Zhang Yuanjing asked, seeing the cold wind and demonic aura permeating the forest, and fearing the countless hidden demons and beasts. Without Ape Thirteen to clear the way, passing through would be extremely difficult.

"Senior, you can also bypass the dense forest by going ten thousand miles to the west, then heading north. There is a wide mountain path there, a common route for cultivators from the two sects and six factions to enter Yu Mountain Marsh, which is very safe," Min Huiye said, pointing to a winding mountain path to the west.

Zhang Yuanjing turned his head to look west, and was about to speak when he saw several cultivators hurrying out of a mountain forest corner about twenty miles away.

These people were initially relaxed, but when they looked up and saw Zhang Yuanjing and Min Huiye at the entrance of the ravine, they immediately stopped, whispering and discussing among themselves.

Then, one of them waved to Zhang Yuanjing, turned around, said a few words to the others, and then took off on his flying sword, quickly flying along the mountain path. The remaining few stopped in place, staring from afar.

Getting closer, Zhang Yuanjing could see that he was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and had reached near perfection, only a step away from completion. He was wearing a blue Taoist robe, an old yellow crown, and a pair of dusty black leather boots. His thin face was tanned red and black by the sun, resembling a worldly wandering Taoist who had experienced the hardships of life.

"Greetings, fellow Taoists, I am Meng Guanghong, cultivating in Deer Head Mountain! May I ask, are you coming from the south side of Yu Mountain Marsh?" Meng Guanghong greeted the two and looked at Zhang Yuanjing, asking.

Zhang Yuanjing was about to speak, but Min Huiye preemptively said, "I am Min Huiye. May I ask, what is the relationship between Fellow Taoist Zheng Huaian of Deer Head Mountain and Fellow Taoist Meng?"

Meng Guanghong was stunned, then said with a smile that was not a smile, "I have been cultivating in Deer Head Mountain for over a hundred years, but I don't know this Fellow Taoist Zheng. Fellow Taoist Min, are you mistaken? Or is there another spiritual mountain with a similar name?"

Min Huiye had encountered dangers in the past few days and had been on edge. Now that he suddenly saw a strange cultivator, he naturally didn't dare to be careless, so he made up a name to test him. Seeing that the other party had seen through it, he gave up, chuckled twice, and said with a "haha", "Then it's probably not from Deer Head Mountain. My memory is faulty, please forgive me, Fellow Taoist."

Zhang Yuanjing cupped his fist and said, "This humble Taoist is Zhang Jing, greetings, Fellow Taoist Meng. This humble Taoist and Fellow Taoist Min have indeed come from the south side of Yu Mountain Marsh. What can I do for you, Fellow Taoist Meng?"

"I wouldn't dare to teach, I just want to ask the fellow Taoist, has the flock of tooth birds in this ravine dispersed? Is the road in the mountain still clear?" Meng Guanghong bowed slightly, asking very politely.

"The tooth birds have dispersed, and there are hardly any demons or beasts in the ravine. As for the mountain ravine road, it's hard to say. At the southern exit of the mountain ravine, a pack of Howling Moon Wolves were hunting a few days ago, I don't know if they have dispersed," Zhang Yuanjing replied.

"Howling Moon Wolves hunting? I wonder if you saw what kind of monster they were hunting?" Meng Guanghong asked quickly, with a surprised expression.

"It should be Thunder Horned Cattle," Zhang Yuanjing said very simply. "In order to avoid the Howling Moon Wolves, we escaped on our flying swords, but were chased by tooth birds and hid in a cave. If you go south, Fellow Taoist, you should be careful."

Seeing that Zhang Yuanjing seemed unwilling to say more, Meng Guanghong stopped asking, and instead pointed to his companions in the distance, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Taoist. I will go and explore the mountain ravine first. The road to the west is relatively safe, with few Qi Refining Realm demons and beasts, so you can walk with peace of mind! If you have any questions, you can also ask my companions. I have already told them to wait there."

Afterwards, the two sides nodded to each other and passed by.

Zhang Yuanjing and Min Huiye flew on their swords and quickly passed over twenty miles of mountain road, arriving in front of Meng Guanghong's companions. These were five Foundation Establishment Intermediate Stage cultivators, with solid auras and fierce expressions, looking like they were used to fighting and brawling.

Presumably, Meng Guanghong had already transmitted his voice, and the five of them all cupped their fists and saluted Zhang Yuanjing and Min Huiye, shouting "Greetings, Fellow Taoist Zhang, Fellow Taoist Min", their voices very neat, showing that they were well-trained.

Zhang and Min were about to return the salute when the five suddenly raised their hands, and five white lights soared into the sky, instantly disappearing into the strong afternoon sunlight. Then, a white mist appeared out of nowhere, surrounding the two.

"It's a formation!" Min Huiye shouted, immediately taking out a water-attribute flying sword to protect himself. This sword was specially added by Zhang Yuanjing when he traded for Yin Severing Sand with Skymount Cave, and was meant to be given to Min Huiye.

This happened suddenly, catching the two off guard. Although they were vigilant, they did not expect that the other party would be able to set up a formation under their noses in such a short time. Unprepared and unable to react, they were immediately trapped in the formation.

The five cultivators, each holding a formation flag, circled around the formation, constantly turning from left to right. The power of the formation spread quickly, building up a unique space within a few feet. The white mist in the formation grew thicker and thicker, and the distance between Zhang Yuanjing and Min Huiye continued to increase. No matter how they tried to get closer, it was in vain.

Zhang Yuanjing stomped his foot hard, and found that the soil below was disappearing, knowing that this kind of temporary formation did not extend very far around. Therefore, the power of the formation would not penetrate deep into the ground at the edge of the formation, like a mountain-protecting formation, forming a powerful cut-off surface, but directly sealed off all the covered soil surface.

He immediately shouted, "Huiye, be careful," and then used the Earth Evasion Technique to drill into the ground, quickly diving down. After going down about seventeen or eighteen feet, he then tunneled to the west. Estimating the range of the formation, he quickly headed towards the surface.

On the ground, the five worked together to set up a Reverse Five Elements Locking Yuan Formation, successfully trapping Zhang Yuanjing and Min Huiye, but they did not dare to be careless at all, and went all out to stimulate the power of the formation, only seeking to fully display the power of the formation in the shortest possible time. How could they have imagined that Zhang Yuanjing would drill into the ground and reach behind them.

Zhang Yuanjing was about to launch a surprise attack and kill to break the formation, but when his divine sense quietly penetrated out, he found that the others had not launched a killing move with the formation, but were only strengthening the power of the formation, so he hid and did not move.

After a while, Meng Guanghong rushed over and whispered, "Did you succeed?"

A tall cultivator in his forties responded, "Boss Meng, we've trapped them!"

"Is there any movement in the formation?"

"Yes, there is the attack of a flying sword, but it is very weak, not like the strength of a Completion Stage cultivator." This was said by a short, fat old man.

"What about you?" Meng Guanghong asked the other three cultivators.

A beautiful female cultivator in her twenties said, "Guanghong, something is not right. Is the other party really a Foundation Establishment Completion Stage? Why is there no reaction at all. If it were another cultivator, they should have launched a surprise attack when the formation was activated."

"Yeah, Brother Hong, you made us nervous for nothing. When I thought that this person could survive so many tooth bird attacks, I was worried that he had some special means!" This was a charming man in his thirties, very enchanting, with bright rouge on his lips.

"Boss, I didn't find any movement either. This Completion Stage cultivator is probably just good-looking!" The last one was a burly man like an iron tower, saying in a muffled voice.

Meng Guanghong thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be careless, let's not worry about so much, let's trap them for an hour first."

The tall cultivator shouted, "Boss Meng, this is the north-south passage of Yu Mountain Marsh after all. What if a cultivator comes over? Even if there are no cultivators, it would be troublesome if some powerful demons and beasts come!"

Meng Guanghong waved his hand: "No need to worry, we have been waiting here for seven or eight days, and we haven't seen anyone come over. How can it be so coincidental!"

"Hehe, Li Er, aren't you known as Li the Bold, why are you so nervous!" The enchanting man raised his orchid finger, pointed at the tall cultivator, and laughed娇笑.

"Bah, you妖人, what do you know!" The tall cultivator spat, with a look of disgust on his face, "I just feel uneasy, as if my life is in danger at any time, of course I have to be careful!"

The beautiful female cultivator said, "Second Brother, don't worry, this time's client only said to block people, not to let us kill people. If this Reverse Five Elements Locking Yuan Formation can trap him, we might as well trap him for a while. It's best to trap him until the client brings people over, there's no need to personally go into battle."

Meng Guanghong smiled at the female cultivator and took over the conversation: "Lan Yun's words are what I mean. Our Six Righteousness of Deer Head Mountain have been rampant for many years, relying on following the rules and knowing where to stop. Since we have agreed to intercept, then we will only intercept, and there is no need to do extra things. Even if you do it, the client may not be satisfied. Moreover, I have contacted the client, and they will arrive within one to two hours."

Zhang Yuanjing, who was lurking underground, was shocked to hear that a "client" had entrusted these six to intercept him. He thought it was just a group of rogue cultivators who saw that he and Min Huiye were alone and weak, and temporarily decided to kill and seize treasures, and didn't take it too seriously. Who knew that someone had deliberately planned this, and had contacted the so-called Six Righteousness of Deer Head Mountain early in the morning to wait in the north of the mountain!

Who could it be? The most suspicious person is naturally Min Huiye and Skymount Cave. At present, only Min Huiye knows his exact route. However, based on his experience, this Min Huiye doesn't seem to be a cunning person, and there has been nothing unusual about him along the way, and these people have not treated him differently.

Of course, it is also possible that Min Huiye is being kept in the dark and someone has tampered with him without his knowledge. In addition, there are other possibilities. After all, he bought a lot of things in Flying Phoenix Valley, perhaps there are some hidden secrets in the items that he has not been able to discover.

He listened for another half hour, and saw that these people were all talking about unimportant things, and there was no mention of the "client" at all, so he gave up trying to find out the reason, carefully stared at the actions and mutual distance of several people, waiting for an opportunity to launch a thunderous strike.
