Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The Eastern Victory World is vast and boundless, divided into six major regions based on its mountainous terrain: the Eastern Region, Southern Region, Western Region, Northern Region, Eastern Sea, and Central Land.

The Profound Heaven Sect was established in the northern part of the Southern Region and is one of the ten major sects in the Southern Region. Every major sect must have a Nascent Soul True Person overseeing it, and the location of its establishment must be a major spiritual cave.

Spiritual caves are formed by the convergence of spiritual veins. Where spiritual veins from all directions meet, a spiritual cave will form. The more interwoven spiritual veins, the denser the spiritual power of the spiritual cave.

The closer one is to a spiritual cave, the more abundant the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the more spiritual objects of heaven and earth, and the more suitable it is for powerful cultivators to reside. Conversely, the further away from a spiritual cave, the sparser the spiritual energy.

This trend and layout of spiritual caves also determine that major sects must be far apart from each other.

The major sect closest to the Profound Heaven Sect is the Chaotian Gate, located 25 million miles to the north, followed by the Zixia Sect, located 30 million miles to the south, and the Qianjian Gate, located 30 million miles to the east. The remaining major sects are located hundreds of millions of miles away.

Of course, in the vast areas between the major sects, there are naturally intermediate sects, small sects, and various family and gang forces scattered like stars, occupying small and medium spiritual caves and controlling large and small mortal kingdoms.

Since the seal thousands of years ago, because the spatial cracks could not be completely repaired, the Profound Heaven Sect included the area of ten thousand miles around Mount Sumeru into its monitoring range, dispatching Core Formation cultivators and Foundation Establishment stewards to be stationed there year-round.

This is also the reason why the Profound Heaven Sect, located two million miles away, was able to react immediately after the seal on Mount Sumeru showed signs of abnormality this time.

Liu Yuanqing, Zhang Yuanjing, and others, after teleporting and then riding a mid-level Wind Control Carriage, arrived at the Profound Heaven Sect's outpost in a valley north of Mount Sumeru in the early morning more than ten days later, and were warmly received by the Foundation Establishment steward Niu Yuanli and his group.

As for the Core Formation cultivator in charge, Han Tianzai, he must have gone to receive the two elders, Zeng Tianshou and Yu Tianwan, who had come here secretly.

Niu Yuanli was about the same age as Zhang Yuanjing, with a cultivation base in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He was a thin old man with a dark face and a long beard, probably the type of cultivator who didn't care much about his appearance and had not taken any beauty-preserving pills.

"Junior Brother Liu, you've come at the right time. The abnormality of that seal has become more severe in the past few days. A Void Demon Space has formed around it ten days ago, but it has not yet expanded.

However, judging from its external form, this space is still evolving further, and its internal size is unknown, but it should not be small!" After exchanging greetings, Niu Yuanli went straight to the point, anxiously talking about the spatial crack seal.

He had been stationed here for nearly twenty years, living a leisurely life and ignoring everything. He never thought that such a situation would occur when his term was about to expire, which was quite vexing.

"Void Demon Space?" Liu Yuanqing and others were all shocked. This was different from what was discussed in the Hall of the Palm in the first place.

On the way, due to the long distance, everyone only had mid-grade sound transmission spirit jades, so they could not directly receive the headmaster's sound transmission.

However, the Mount Sumeru outpost had a special sound transmission formation that could easily transmit information across millions of miles.

Liu Yuanqing immediately asked, "Has it been reported to the Hall of the Palm?"

Niu Yuanli nodded and said, "Elder Han ordered it to be reported as soon as possible. After Headmaster Wu received the message, he quickly sent down the Headmaster's Order, saying that everything should be handled by Junior Brother Liu!"

Liu Yuanqing was slightly stunned: "Handled by me? Did Elder Han give any instructions?"

Niu Yuanli spread his hands: "Nothing. The Headmaster didn't say anything else, and Elder Han didn't ask, so naturally it wasn't appropriate to give any more instructions, only saying that Junior Brother Liu should decide how to act himself."

"Oh!" Liu Yuanqing responded, without asking Niu Yuanli any further. After a little thought, he turned to the group of cultivators accompanying him and said, "Since the Void Demon Space has not yet expanded, it means that the power of the seal is still sufficient to suppress the spatial crack and prevent it from continuing to tear.

We came here to enter the sealed space and investigate the situation. Now that a Void Demon Space has been derived, then the mission will be changed to surveying the Void Demon Space.

Regarding this point, Senior Brother Headmaster actually said that there are only some nascent alien demons inside, which are not difficult to deal with."

After speaking, he looked at Niu Yuanli again: "Senior Brother Niu, presumably the Void Demon Space at this time can allow Foundation Establishment cultivators to enter it, right?"

Whether a Void Demon Space can allow cultivators to enter it depends on the stability of the entrance. Generally speaking, the more stable the entrance, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivators allowed to enter.

Niu Yuanli nodded quickly and said, "That's right, it can just allow cultivators below Foundation Establishment to enter! As for Junior Brother Liu, with a spirit talisman to protect you, there should be no danger."

Seeing that everyone still looked puzzled, Liu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Since the Headmaster has arranged for us Foundation Establishment cultivators to come, there must be thorough arrangements. Therefore, we don't need to worry too much. If there is a big problem, Core Formation elders or even Nascent Soul True Persons will take action. Our task is to enter the Void Demon Space, find out the specific situation, and then safely retreat."

As for the real purpose of alarming the enemy and testing their reaction, naturally, it cannot be said publicly here.

The location of the seal is called Horseshoe Valley, in the southeast of Mount Sumeru. This seal is a huge "耒"-shaped rune, deeply embedded in the mountain wall on the west side of the valley. There is a large circle of gray cyclones around the rune, with occasional strange black spots appearing, which are then covered by the gray gas.

Around the gray cyclone, there are strong winds howling, and occasionally streaks of lightning like silver snakes appear.

"There is actually the power of lightning!" Liu Yuanqing turned his head to look at Niu Yuanli, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"This, it wasn't there this morning!" Niu Yuanli said with a solemn expression.

For safety reasons, the Profound Heaven Sect did not set up the monitoring outpost for the seal directly in Horseshoe Valley, but on a mountain range hundreds of miles away, only coming here twice every morning and evening to check.

"Senior Brother Liu, should we report to the Headmaster before deciding what to do?" Song Yuanzhen in the crowd suddenly said.

Guo Yuanmeng also showed a bit of fear in his eyes, and echoed, "Yes, Senior Brother Liu. We are only at the Foundation Establishment realm, and we don't have much resistance to the power of lightning. We can't enter the cyclone at all."

Liu Yuanqing nodded, and said calmly, "Of course we have to report to the Headmaster, but we can't report it so simply. Let's observe for a few days to see if there are any other changes, and then send a message to the Hall of the Palm."

Three days later, new changes did occur. The power of lightning changed from small silver snakes to dancing white silk, but the duration was shortened, and the interval between two appearances was about a quarter of an hour.

The Qi Refining disciples didn't know why, and thought they had figured out the pattern and could safely enter the Void Demon Space, and all showed relaxed expressions.

However, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators, including Zhang Yuanjing, a bitter cultivator with ordinary knowledge, had solemn expressions.

"The power of lightning is so strong, I'm afraid even Core Formation elders have to retreat, are we still going in?" Guo Yuanmeng was the first to express everyone's concerns.

Song Yuanzhen, Chen Yuanfei, and Li Yuankai also spoke up, believing that they should not rashly enter the Void Demon Space, and should ask the Headmaster for instructions before making a decision.

The biggest characteristic of the power of lightning is its irregularity. It's one thing now, and another thing at another time. Moreover, it may be stable when no one enters, but once someone passes through it, it may become violent. Therefore, everyone was unwilling to blindly take risks.

Liu Yuanqing knew that this matter had exceeded his ability and authority, so he did not make a arbitrary decision, but followed everyone's wishes and reported to the Hall of the Palm.

In fact, the Core Formation elders Zeng Tianshou and Yu Tianwan were nearby, and with the Core Formation Han Tianzai in charge here, consulting them would be enough to make the right decision. However, he was ordered by the Headmaster after all, so he naturally had to report to the Hall of the Palm first.

Moreover, Niu Yuanli was the steward here, so he would naturally report to Han Tianzai, and Han Tianzai would definitely pass the information to the two Core Formation elders.

However, the instructions replied by the Hall of the Palm surprised him greatly. Wu Yuankui only said one sentence: Enter immediately when there is an opportunity, and return within three days.

Liu Yuanqing conveyed the Headmaster's order to everyone. Although the Foundation Establishment cultivators did not understand the mystery, since it was the Headmaster's order and there were Core Formation cultivators protecting their retreat, they thought there must be a way to let them return safely, so they did not say much.

The Void Demon Space is a space that combines the power of nothingness and the presence of alien demons. It is usually formed when spatial cracks cause the power of nothingness in the boundless void to intrude into a realm.

The power of nothingness is a destructive force that cannot be dissolved or refined for cultivators, and is extremely dangerous. At the same time, it will give birth to a kind of demon that takes devouring the origin of the realm as its nature, that is, the demon that the cultivation world usually calls alien demons, which is the natural enemy of Qi refiners and is extremely difficult to deal with.

On the other hand, it is also possible for spiritual objects from other places in the same realm, or even from other realms, to be accidentally swept in, giving the cultivators who enter it great opportunities.

For low-level cultivators, entering the Void Demon Space is relatively easy. Just use a low-level holding talisman to protect themselves, and rush into the spiritual vortex, and they can rush into it.

Conversely, if it is a high-level cultivator, simply bumping into it will cause vibrations, leading to spatial tearing, and thus being swept into an unknown space, lightly disappearing, and heavily falling.

Liu Yuanqing briefly told the seven Foundation Establishment brothers and sixteen Qi Refining disciples how to use the holding talisman and how to deal with the changes. Then, he took the lead in activating the talisman. When a cloud of green energy filled his body, he flicked his sleeves, turning them into two golden lights to protect his vitals. Then, he slammed into the cyclone in front of him and disappeared instantly.

Guo Yuanmeng glanced sideways at Zhang Yuanjing, whose expression was obviously a little unnatural, grinned, and then activated the holding talisman with exaggerated movements, inflating his clothes, like a celestial Buddha, striding into the cyclone.

The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators also did not hesitate, activating the talismans in turn, and crashing into the Void Demon Space in different movements or forms.

At this time, only Zhang Yuanjing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, remained.

The sixteen high-level Qi Refining disciples had all prepared, but since the Foundation Establishment cultivators had not yet entered, they were not good at rushing in first, so they all looked at Zhang Yuanjing. The nickname "Rat Daoist" might have sounded in their hearts, but no one dared to show a trace of disrespect.

Zhang Yuanjing looked at these pretentious juniors, and suddenly felt a little annoyed, and roared unhappily, "What are you all doing, why don't you hurry up and act! Do you want me to throw you in!"

When these Qi Refining disciples saw this, how could they not know that Zhang Yuanjing was upset and wanted to find their bad luck. Each one of them moved like a rabbit, and almost all of them disappeared into the cyclone in two breaths.

At this time, the surroundings were considered clean, but Zhang Yuanjing's mood did not improve. Because, at this point, he could no longer regret it.

Niu Yuanli and several other stewards were still standing outside the valley, watching. Although they didn't know what these people were thinking, or even whether they were definitely staring at his back, he did feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The whistling wind brought by the cyclone was not very loud, but it was still a bit deafening when heard up close.

The fear of the unknown suddenly gripped his nerves tightly. Goosebumps rose all over his body, and an incomparably clear picture suddenly flashed in his mind: a long sword struck his back heart from close range. He fell to the ground in pain, death was near, suddenly a terrifying tiger demon appeared, rushing towards the person who attacked him, but it didn't even look at him, a dying person with a weak aura!

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head, smiled bitterly, and then pinched open the spirit talisman, and with a cloud of cyan energy, crashed into the gray cyclone.
