Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Flying zombies were much more difficult to deal with than Yin monsters. It took Fire Crow Taoist a full quarter of an hour to completely refine it in the gourd's true fire.

After all the hard work, he gained quite a bit. The three thousand fire crows were refined again, and the main cultivation technique, the Myriad Beasts True Fire Art, which had been silent for many years, also improved and showed signs of breaking through, which undoubtedly made him overjoyed. The improvement of magic weapons was only an increase in combat power, while a breakthrough in cultivation techniques could lead to an advancement in realm.

Fire Crow Taoist made the greatest contribution to breaking the Yin monster and flying zombie this time, and Ape Twelve also sincerely congratulated him, and the little bit of resentment left in his heart because of the Scarlet Howler's distribution was also completely gone.

The two men and three beasts continued to move forward. Because the light yellow gas in the air became thicker and the cold air condensed, they had to land on the ground and travel purely on foot. The pressure around them became stronger and stronger, and the group of people and beasts had to increase the circulation of their magic power and blood to resist the erosion of the turbid air.

After another forty or fifty miles, they encountered two more Yin monsters. This time, the two apes lured the enemy, and Fire Crow Taoist used the gourd to capture the monsters, quickly eliminating them.

At the beginning, Xiong Qifeng had only just entered the edge of the Nether Earth when he discovered a strange piece of land. Now, they had penetrated nearly a hundred miles into the Nether Earth, and they could still only see the unchanging Nether Earth and the same color of blue-black. As for the Nether Soul Grass that Ape Twelve and the others were looking for, there was no trace of it.

"If we go any further, with the environment here, I'm afraid we'll get lost!" Fire Crow Taoist warned in a deep voice.

The surroundings were the same blue-black Nether Earth, and the top of their heads was a dead and silent light yellow mist. There were no obvious landmarks, and the mist was pressing down, making the light dim. It was impossible to effectively identify the direction. If they recklessly moved forward, they would definitely not return.

"Senior, don't worry about this. This junior knows some cartography techniques and has been using his divine sense to draw a map. No matter where we go, we can return the same way!" Zhang Yuanjing pointed to his forehead and said confidently.

"Oh, Fellow Taoist is truly extraordinary, even knowing the rare cartography technique!" Fire Crow Taoist glanced at him in surprise, then returned to normal and said in a light tone, "If that's the case, no matter how big this Nether Earth is, we can go there."

After traveling dozens of miles further, they finally discovered a piece of land that was completely different from the Nether Earth beside it. This land was dark black, and although it was dry soil, it was like a swamp, with bubbles emerging from it, which was similar to the strange soil that Xiong Qifeng mentioned. However, the difference was that this piece of land seemed to be extremely solid, like a whole piece of giant rock, and it was absolutely impossible to separate and take it away.

"Fellow Taoist, is this the kind of soil?" Fire Crow Taoist asked with a strange expression.

"Maybe, we need to carefully identify it again. What did Senior discover?" Zhang Yuanjing saw that the Thick Earth Creation Cauldron had not moved for a long time, but he was a little hesitant and did not dare to draw a conclusion.

"In the edge of the Nether Earth, there is a river similar to the Yellow Springs. This old Taoist thought that this strange soil might be related to the Yellow Springs, and the Nether Soul Grass was also related to the Yellow Springs, perhaps the Nether Soul Grass grows on the strange soil. However, seeing this piece of soil, I know that the speculation is wrong. This soil is strange, but it doesn't seem like there is an underground river flowing from below." Fire Crow Taoist frowned, as if thinking of something difficult.

"Senior's speculation is very reasonable, perhaps this is not the strange soil either." Zhang Yuanjing said while using his divine sense to communicate with the Thick Earth Creation Cauldron.

However, the Thick Earth Creation Cauldron did not respond. He immediately understood that this soil was not what it needed. He pretended to survey the soil a little, then shook his head and said, "This is not the strange soil, let's go further to find it!"

So, the two men and three beasts continued to search deeper into the Nether Earth. However, their luck was not very good. After traveling no more than fifty miles, they encountered flying zombies three times, twice with two zombies and once with three. The first two times were fine, they used the same method, and Fire Crow Taoist refined two more flying zombies.

The third time, however, was an extremely difficult fight. The two apes each fought one, and the remaining one chased after Zhang Yuanjing. Fire Crow Taoist had no choice but to protect him by his side, unable to free his hands and feet to work with Ape Thirteen to capture the flying zombies. Later, Fire Crow Taoist had to risk consuming true fire and release hundreds of small fire crows from the Xuan Tie Great Gourd to attack the three flying zombies.

However, these three flying zombies were very clever. They circled a few times on the ground and led the fire crows into the yellow mist in the sky, quickly destroying all the fire crows.

The battle entered a stalemate, which was naturally extremely unfavorable to them. At the critical moment, Ape Thirteen showed great power, using the Nine Revolutions Golden Body to assist the Vajra Subduing Demon Skill, and directly blasted a flying zombie. Only then did they break the dangerous situation.

After this battle, Ape Thirteen understood the trick of using the Nine Revolutions Golden Body to enhance the Vajra Subduing Demon Skill, and his strength improved a lot, giving the two men and three beasts another way to deal with flying zombies.

After that, they encountered Yin monsters and flying zombies many times, but fortunately, the number was not very large each time, and they overcame their opponents with some danger. Fire Crow Taoist's Myriad Beasts True Fire Art also reached the edge of a breakthrough, which made him secretly happy.

The first real discovery of strange soil was a full day after stepping into the Nether Earth. At this time, they had penetrated at least two thousand miles into the Nether Earth. This time, before Zhang Yuanjing could make any probes, the Thick Earth Creation Cauldron flew out on its own. In front of one man and three beasts, all of whom had Core Formation strength, it released a yellow light and began to devour the soil openly.

A powerful pressure enveloped a range of hundreds of feet. One man and three beasts, even the powerful Ape Thirteen, stood upright and did not dare to move, their hearts filled with shock.

Fortunately, they all saw clearly that this powerful existence flew out from Zhang Yuanjing's chest. They were surprised, but not very afraid.

This piece of strange soil was very large, about three miles in circumference. It was also dark black, but it was obviously different from the last piece of soil. Water vapor was steaming from it, and the soil was constantly tumbling up and down. Bubbles rose continuously, floating into the light yellow mist above, and then burst gently. The light yellow mist within a few feet around it was instantly empty. After a few breaths, the more distant mist slowly filled in. Therefore, the light yellow mist above this place was obviously much lighter, and the space above and below seemed more spacious and brighter.

What was even more magical was that in the center of this piece of land, there was a five-zhang square of soil, black with yellow. In the center position grew a three-foot-tall emerald green plant, with thick stems and broad leaves, full of vitality. Three zhang away, there were four short grasses, half a foot tall, with black stems and emerald green leaves, like stars surrounding the moon, protecting the plant in the center.

However, under the cover of the yellow light, a zhang-wide black soil belt, like a stream of water, continuously poured into the Thick Earth Creation Cauldron. In less than a quarter of an hour, the three-mile square of black soil had sunk more than three zhang, turning into a huge pit filled with light yellow and white fine soil particles.

After a dozen more breaths, the soil belt in the yellow light dissipated, and the Thick Earth Creation Cauldron shrank to the size of a fist again and flew back into Zhang Yuanjing's arms.

At the same time, a divine sense transmission sounded in his mind: "In a certain place on the right front, there is a piece of extremely high-quality strange soil. Devour it, and I, the old master, can wake up often!"

After saying that, without giving Zhang Yuanjing a chance to ask questions, it fell back into a deep sleep.

Three breaths later, the yellow light turned into starlight and dissipated. The impatient Ape Thirteen immediately asked, "Yuanjing, is this a magic weapon? Or a senior expert?"

After that, Ape Twelve also squeaked a series of words. The Jade-Eyed Lion Beast tilted its head and stared at Zhang Yuanjing, its emerald-like eyes filled with both curiosity and fear.

On the contrary, Fire Crow Taoist was the quietest, but his eyes flashed from time to time, wondering what he was thinking. His knowledge was far stronger than the two apes and one beast, and he knew that this was likely the legendary divine treasure, which made him have infinite associations with Zhang Yuanjing's identity, and various thoughts were churning in his mind for a while.

Zhang Yuanjing took in the expressions of one man and three beasts, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This great cauldron that you have seen is both a powerful spiritual weapon and a senior expert. He needs to devour some strange objects to restore his strength, so he cannot easily take action. The reason why I came here is also to help this senior find the strange objects he needs."

Upon hearing this, Ape Twelve said with regret, "If this Divine Cauldron senior is convenient to take action, the Nether Earth will be harmless to us!"

Along the way, they encountered many Yin monsters and flying zombies, but they never found any trace of the Nether Soul Grass. They were also worried about encountering more powerful demons, and Ape Twelve could not help but become impatient and lose confidence in whether they could achieve their goal.

Fire Crow Taoist seemed to have figured something out, and his mentality became very peaceful. He immediately laughed and said, "Clan Leader Ape has misunderstood. To deal with ordinary demons, there is no need for Divine Cauldron senior to take action. We ourselves are enough. If we really encounter demons that are far stronger than us, senior will naturally take action. In this way, can't we walk freely in this Nether Earth!"

Ape Twelve scratched his head after hearing these words, and thought that this was indeed the truth. He immediately turned his worries into joy and nodded excitedly.

Zhang Yuanjing was not sure whether the Thick Earth Creation Cauldron would take action when he was in danger, but if it involved the competition for strange objects, it would definitely take action. So he truthfully said, "Senior said that in a certain place on the right front, there is another high-quality strange soil that he needs. Let's go there."

Upon hearing that it was said by Divine Cauldron senior, Fire Crow Taoist and the three beasts had no objection and immediately set off, changing direction to the right front.

Originally, the two men and three beasts thought that since it was high-quality strange soil, there must be many demons around, and the road would definitely be difficult. However, after walking hundreds of miles, it was very smooth. Except for the first half, where they encountered two Yin monsters and one flying zombie, in the following three or four hundred miles, they did not encounter a single Yin monster or flying zombie.

After that, they very smoothly found the strange soil that the Thick Earth Creation Cauldron said.

This was a ten-mile square of dark black land. The soil surface was more than two feet lower than the surrounding Nether Earth. The soil was wriggling like earthworms, and countless bubbles emerged from it, slowly rising into the light yellow mist above, and then bursting gently. The light yellow mist within a few feet around it was instantly empty. After a few breaths, the more distant mist slowly made up for it. Therefore, the light yellow mist above this place was obviously much lighter, and the space above and below seemed more spacious and brighter.

What was even more magical was that in the center of this piece of land, there was a five-zhang square of soil, black with yellow. In the center position grew a three-foot-tall emerald green plant, with thick stems and broad leaves, full of vitality. Three zhang away, there were four short grasses, half a foot tall, with black stems and emerald green leaves, like stars surrounding the moon, protecting the plant in the center.
