Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Based on Zhang Yuanjing's past experience, spatial secret realms usually have uncertainties regarding entrance and exit passages. For example, this Void Demon Space has a fixed entrance from the outside, but the location inside might be random.

Therefore, he wasn't worried about other Foundation Establishment cultivators knowing he was the last one to enter the secret realm.

However, after entering the Void Demon Space, a shadowy darkness appeared before his eyes. He was startled and was about to unleash his spiritual weapon for battle, but then he discovered it was Liu Yuanqing and his group.

He saw Guo Yuanmeng looking at him with disdain, while Chen Yuanfei, Li Yuan'ai, Song Yuanzhen, Cheng Yuanshan, and Sun Yuanqi had ambiguous smiles on their faces. Obviously, if they weren't afraid of attracting Void Demons by making noise, they would have burst out laughing.

Liu Yuanqing waved, signaling Zhang Yuanjing to quickly come over.

A pure Void Demon Space has no light or spiritual energy; it's completely dark and silent.

However, this Void Demon Space had numerous spatial rifts, and these rifts were active. Therefore, beams of light swept across from time to time. With this light, cultivators could barely see.

There was also a little spiritual energy. Cultivators at the late stage of Foundation Establishment and above could still extend their spiritual sense, but the range of perception and accuracy were greatly affected.

Liu Yuanqing transmitted his voice to the Foundation Establishment cultivators: "Senior brothers, junior brothers, and junior sisters, I just observed the spatial rifts. The gaps are extremely small and very stable. According to the headmaster's previous instructions, this indicates that this Void Demon Space is still in its early stages of evolution. There shouldn't be too many Void Demons born yet, and they must be of the lowest level, which two or three Qi Refining disciples can contend with.

This space is vast. To explore as much as possible within three days, we will divide into four groups. I will lead one group, and Yuanmeng, Yuanzhen, and Yuanshan, you each lead a group.

Void Demons cannot be killed except by thunder or fire techniques. If you can drive them away, then do so, and don't chase after them relentlessly. If you encounter a strong enemy that is entangled and won't let go, use a thunder talisman to kill it.

Before departure, the headmaster gave me four low-grade, top-quality Golden Thunder Talismans and Earth Thunder Talismans each. Each group of cultivators will receive one Golden Thunder Talisman and one Earth Thunder Talisman. Golden Thunder to subdue demons, Earth Thunder to protect the body. Thunder Talismans are extremely precious and should not be used unless necessary."

As he spoke, Liu Yuanqing took out three golden spiritual talismans and three brown spiritual talismans from his storage bracelet and distributed them to Guo Yuanmeng, Song Yuanzhen, and Cheng Yuanshan.

The three received the spiritual talismans, their faces filled with joy. They held them in their hands, examining them carefully, and forgot to put them away for a moment.

Among all spiritual talismans, thunder talismans are the strongest and the most difficult to make, making them extremely rare in the cultivation world. Even low-grade thunder talismans will be bought by cultivators at high prices as soon as they appear.

This is because thunder talismans have extremely strong attack power and are naturally restraining against evil creatures and monsters. Low-grade thunder talismans can easily kill or injure demons below the Spiritual Illumination realm, and even briefly shock the minds of Core Formation stage demons.

Liu Yuanqing quickly assigned the personnel. Zhang Yuanjing was in the same group as Liu Yuanqing. Chen Yuanfei and Guo Yuanmeng, Li Yuan'ai and Song Yuanzhen, and Sun Yuanqi and Cheng Yuanshan each came from the same Golden Core elder's lineage, so they were grouped together.

"Starting from here, each group will choose a direction to explore. If you encounter an insurmountable danger, immediately activate the Earth Thunder Talisman and hold your ground for support. Each group must maintain contact at all times and promptly notify each other of any situation in order to comprehensively assess the situation and prevent accidents," Liu Yuanqing instructed before leading Zhang Yuanjing and the others toward the north.

When a Void Demon Space evolves, there is no up or down, no front or back, no left or right. The surroundings are empty. It is easiest to get lost in such a place.

Of course, Xuan Tian Sect, one of the top ten sects in the Southern Domain with a continuous heritage of ten thousand years, has its own way of dealing with this. This is the so-called Cartography Art, specially taught to cultivators to draw maps in alien spaces. As long as they have been there, they can guarantee accurate directions and safe returns. For places they have not been, they can also deduce some information.

The Void Demon Space is very oppressive, especially for cultivators.

Although there are flashes of light, they are not stable. Therefore, the scenery in front of them is constantly flickering. After watching for a long time, everyone felt shadows flickering in their eyes, making them somewhat suspicious.

Fortunately, there was Liu Yuanqing, a Pseudo-Core cultivator. Whenever anyone's eyes were tired, they would close their eyes and follow closely behind Liu Yuanqing.

In fact, there wasn't much to see. The Void Demon Space was like a void. Except for things occasionally sucked in by spatial rifts, there were almost no objects.

Sometimes, they could see things with shapes and textures, but before they could take a closer look, they disappeared into the spatial rifts.

Several times, Zhang Yuanjing saw some good-looking items within Liu Yuanqing's grasping range, but he didn't react and let them drift away without a trace.

Liu Yuanqing often instructed the Qi Refining disciples not to be greedy for anything they saw, except for items that appeared within arm's reach, otherwise they might die here.

This was in line with Zhang Yuanjing's consistent thinking. Although he had entered this place, he had no thoughts of gain or loss. He even forgot Wu Yuankui's exhortation to experience what it means to fight with heaven, only seeking to safely return to the sect.

"That's… a magical treasure!" suddenly exclaimed a Qi Refining twelfth-layer disciple.

"Where… it's a flying sword, fiery red, with strong spiritual power fluctuations!" another Qi Refining disciple also saw it, his voice full of regret.

The other two Qi Refining disciples turned their heads to look, but as the light shifted, the flying sword disappeared while floating. The two couldn't help but reveal disappointment.

Liu Yuanqing didn't even lift his eyelids, just moved forward quickly, and shouted, "Don't be distracted, keep up."

Zhang Yuanjing also saw the magical treasure clearly. The sword body was one foot and three inches long, engraved with dense flame patterns, forming some kind of pattern, containing terrifying power.

His heart thumped a few times, as if some voice was enticing him to follow the sword.

Just then, Liu Yuanqing's low shout came, and he instantly woke up, knowing that he had unknowingly become greedy. He quickly restrained his mind and moved a few steps closer to Liu Yuanqing.

Liu Yuanqing's only purpose here was to investigate the spatial rifts and Void Demon levels in this Void Demon Space and determine its degree of evolution. Therefore, before achieving this goal, he would not waste a moment searching for treasures.

The mechanical walking in the dimness became more and more boring, and the treasures that occasionally flashed but could not be pursued made people feel depressed. The four Qi Refining disciples soon became a little restless and occasionally complained to each other in low voices.

Liu Yuanqing turned a deaf ear. He focused all his attention on observing the spatial rifts and finding a safe path forward.

"Hmm, it's…" a Qi Refining disciple whispered, suddenly darting out ten feet to grab a golden light.

"Come back!" Liu Yuanqing roared, waving his right hand, and a black shadow wrapped around the Qi Refining disciple.

The moment the Qi Refining disciple accurately grabbed the golden light, the black shadow wrapped around his waist and brought him back to Liu Yuanqing's side.

Liu Yuanqing glared at the disciple fiercely: "Zhou Yuming, you reckless fool! If there is a next time, you will be expelled from the team and left to fend for yourself!" Then he raised his hand and forcibly took the item from the disciple's hand, without even looking at it, and put it directly into his sleeve: "Any items obtained without authorization will be unconditionally confiscated!"

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and looked at the Qi Refining disciple named Zhou Yuming, somewhat admiring him. After all, he had managed to grab the item.

After this incident, the Qi Refining disciples, who had been restless, became honest and lowered their eyes, no longer looking around.

The group walked with their heads down, passing through spatial rifts. The light from the rifts occasionally swept over them, leaving short, flickering shadows in the distance.

In extreme boredom, a whole day passed. In the Void Demon Space, besides spatial rifts, flashing lights, and treasures that occasionally appeared and disappeared, there was only endless darkness.

"That's about it. Let's go around in a circle and return to the entrance," Liu Yuanqing finally spoke again, revealing a relieved tone.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Yuanqing, I've finally waited for you to say that. We've walked cautiously for no less than a thousand miles here. The scenery is monotonous. If it weren't for the flashing lights that always change direction, I would have thought I encountered the so-called 'ghost wall' among mortals and was just blindly wandering in place!" Zhang Yuanjing also felt relieved and then made a joke.

Liu Yuanqing smiled slightly: "The Void Demon Space, according to the sect's records, is mostly like this.

We are relatively lucky not to have encountered any Void Demons, otherwise this trip would not have been so easy."

Zhang Yuanjing looked around, pointed casually, and said, "Junior Brother Liu, if a treasure appears here, should we take it or not?"

Liu Yuanqing hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "Safety first. While avoiding spatial rifts, we can retrieve treasures nearby. However, we must not take any risky actions. Danger can appear at any time in the Void Demon Space!"

The four Qi Refining disciples perked up at this, their eyes flashing with eager light in the darkness.

However, what was extremely bizarre was that not even a piece of paper was seen on the return route. All the spatial rifts were clean. Besides the occasional flashing light, there was nothing.

Liu Yuanqing was first a little surprised, then amused, but as time passed, he gradually felt something was wrong. He suddenly recalled a situation mentioned in the sect's records and quickly turned back to the four Qi Refining disciples, who looked dejected, and shouted, "You four, quickly form the Black Tortoise Sword Formation. Li Bingyi takes the head position, Zhou Yuming, Hu Jilin, and Mo Jiancheng take the left front foot, right hind foot, and middle tail positions respectively. Defend with all your might! Senior Brother Zhang—"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred. Several ink-like clouds surged out of the darkness, moving extremely fast. Before the others could react, they had already rushed to the front.

Zhang Yuanjing felt a chill run down his spine, as if a beast had placed its claws on his shoulders and back. He trembled and stood there blankly.

The four Qi Refining disciples, after all, were skilled fighters selected from the Xuan Tian Sect's once-a-decade competition. They managed to restrain their fear and勉力 to follow Liu Yuanqing's arrangement to take positions and form the formation.

The first to respond was of course the Pseudo-Core cultivator Liu Yuanqing. His high-grade spiritual weapon, a flying sword named Fire Kirin, struck the three black clouds on the left like a thunderfire from top to bottom. At the same time, the Golden Thunder Talisman in his hand was activated in an instant, and a powerful ray of thunder struck the five black clouds on the right.

The black clouds were extremely fast, and the Fire Kirin's attacks all missed, but it also forced the three black clouds to retreat ten feet away.

The Golden Thunder Talisman's attack was instantaneous and extremely powerful, not giving the five black clouds any chance. There was a crackling sound, and lightning pierced through the five black clouds, instantly burning them to ashes.

The three black clouds on the left that had avoided the fire attack were immediately shocked by the power of the Golden Thunder. They stood there blankly, not daring to move.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Yuanqing gave a soft shout, changed the hand seals, and caused the Fire Kirin to make a semicircle in the air, swaying flames, and slashing down rapidly, splitting a black cloud into two, turning it into ashes.

The remaining two black clouds, one reacted quickly and quickly retreated. The other was forcibly intercepted by the Fire Kirin. Liu Yuanqing's hand seals slowed down, a stern light flashed in his eyes, and he ordered the four Qi Refining disciples to go up and trap the enemy.

Zhang Yuanjing had also recovered at this time, tightly gripping the Xuan Jing Great Axe, his usual spiritual weapon, in his hand.

"Senior Brother Yuanjing, you replace Li Bingyi in the turtle head position. Li Bingyi goes to the right front foot position, the rest remain unchanged, move quickly!" Liu Yuanqing fought with the intercepted black cloud while changing the arrangement.

Zhang Yuanjing also restrained his fear at this time, sacrificed the axe, and with a light leap, landed behind the black cloud, blocking its escape route.

The four Qi Refining disciples, seeing that Zhang Yuanjing, known as the 'Rat Daoist,' was so brave, were immediately inspired. Following Zhang Yuanjing's position, they each stood in position and formed the sect's low-level sword formation, the Black Tortoise Sword Formation.

At this point, Liu Yuanqing breathed a slight sigh of relief. He slowed down the attack, took two steps lightly, stood to the side and behind Zhang Yuanjing to support him, and at the same time, tried to open his spiritual sense to vigilantly observe the surroundings to prevent a Void Demon attack.

The Xuan Tian Sect's low-level sword formation was specially created for Qi Refining disciples, divided into the defensive formation Black Tortoise Sword Formation and the offensive formation Azure Dragon Sword Formation. All Xuan Tian disciples with cultivation above the tenth level of Qi Refining knew these two sword formations.

Zhang Yuanjing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, leading four Qi Refining twelfth-level or higher disciples to set up the Black Tortoise Sword Formation to deal with a black cloud was very easy.

At this time, he was in the mood to concentrate and carefully examine the black cloud.

Calling it a black cloud was just a vague appearance in a hurry. In reality, it was a creature that resembled a cloud and was completely black, but it had no organs such as eyes, nose, or mouth. It was completely a dark thing.

What was particularly strange was that this thing was covered with small holes. The light escaping from the spatial rifts was occasionally shone on its body, but it was completely absorbed without producing any reflection. Therefore, in the darkness, it was extremely difficult to clearly capture its position.

"This is a Void Demon in its early stages of derivation, with strength equivalent to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, but relying on its innate abilities, ordinary Qi Refining disciples are definitely not its opponents," Liu Yuanqing said solemnly, only glancing at the black cloud a few times before looking around. His Fire Kirin hung high above the black cloud's head, no longer attacking.

"Are we just trapping it like this? Are we going to capture it alive?" Zhang Yuanjing asked doubtfully.

"First, use it as bait to see if any other Void Demons come over. As for capturing it alive, that's impossible. I didn't prepare the corresponding spiritual talismans and jade boxes in advance," Liu Yuanqing replied.

Zhang Yuanjing was a little surprised: "Use it as bait? If the escaped Void Demon attracts a lot of Void Demons, we won't be able to deal with them."

"It's okay, we still have an Earth Thunder Talisman that we can use to hold our ground for support," Liu Yuanqing said lightly.

"Hold our ground for support?" Zhang Yuanjing muttered inwardly that it was troublesome, but he didn't want to question it in person.

The Void Demons are strange and unpredictable. They are invisible and silent in the darkness. Without complete preparation or crushing strength, it is best to stay far away.

If a few异魔 with Foundation Establishment stage strength were to appear, Liu Yuanqing might be able to protect himself, but the rest of them would be finished.
