Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Yuanjing, I'm used to staying in the Hengduan Mountains and am a bit unaccustomed to the sect's style of endless discussions. Although thorough consideration is necessary, how can everything go as expected when the time comes? Instead of all this endless discussion and deliberation, it's better to just do it. If there's no opportunity, we can fight our way to one!"

Lu Tianying and Zhang Yuanjing left the south gate of the Immortal City, as if shedding a layer of restraint, and their speech became unrestrained.

Zhang Yuanjing sensed the uninhibited spirit emanating from him and couldn't help but think of Wu Yuankui. He immediately laughed, "After all, it concerns the safety of the sect, so those in charge must be cautious. However, Senior Uncle Lu and I don't need to worry so much. If we can win, we fight; if we can't, we run. It seems that as long as a Nascent Soul cultivator doesn't appear, there's nothing to fear."

"That's right, that's the principle. We're all Core Formation cultivators, who's afraid of who! Our Profound Heaven Sect's Core Formation cultivators are no less impressive than those of any major sect!" Lu Tianying laughed heartily, "These fellow disciples in the sect have been sitting in the mountain gate for too long and think too much when things happen. They're not as decisive as Yuanjing, who fought his way back from the outside!"

Zhang Yuanjing smiled without saying a word. The so-called 'more decisive after fighting back from the outside' was just a casual remark.

Wandering outside and mingling with commoners, if you don't have a few tricks up your sleeve and only know how to act recklessly, you wouldn't have enough lives to spare. This Senior Uncle Lu is clearly not a reckless man. He's just saying these things to express the melancholy in his heart.

With his experience and cultivation, he's qualified to be the City Lord of Flowing Cloud City and fully preside over the western war. However, True Person Tong clearly trusts Yu Tianwan more, only letting Lu Tianying be a general and not giving him the position of commander, which makes Lu Tianying somewhat disgruntled. However, with the overall situation as the priority, he can't complain too much. He can only take the opportunity to talk to Zhang Yuanjing to vent a little.

Lu Tianying saw Zhang Yuanjing's expression and knew that he had seen through something, so he didn't say much more. He took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhang Yuanjing, saying:

"Yuanjing, this is the local situation map compiled by the City Lord's Mansion. There are several places marked in red, where the strength is quite weak, which can be used as targets for attack. Of course, it may also be a trap, specially designed to lure us to attack. Senior Brother Tianwan instructed us to carefully investigate before making a decision. I think it's better to choose that mountain fifty thousand miles southwest of the city. It is said that there are two to three Core Formation cultivators there, which is just right for us to deal with."

Zhang Yuanjing took the jade slip, quickly glanced at it, and returned it to Lu Tianying, saying, "I will listen to Senior Uncle's arrangements."

Lu Tianying chuckled and suddenly said, "Senior Brother Yu said that you obtained the inheritance of the ancient Houtu Sect and that your earth遁術 (Earth Escape Technique) is very powerful. If you don't mind, can you perform it once so that I can understand it better?"

Zhang Yuanjing said, "Of course, I don't mind."

The two landed their swords in a forest.

Zhang Yuanjing nodded to Lu Tianying, activated his cultivation technique, and instantly disappeared from Lu Tianying's sight.

Lu Tianying had already locked onto him with his divine sense, and immediately extended it into the earth. At first, he didn't take it seriously. Before long, he showed a look of surprise. Because the depth of Zhang Yuanjing's descent quickly exceeded one hundred zhang.

Although he prided himself on his powerful divine sense, he was already quite strained at this depth. However, what shocked him even more was that Zhang Yuanjing's speed of descent did not slow down at all. In a few breaths, he went down dozens of zhang and disappeared from his divine sense.

He didn't believe it and gathered the power of his divine sense, searching down into the ground along Zhang Yuanjing's approximate descent route.

At one hundred and sixty zhang, he had reached the limit of his divine sense, but he still hadn't found Zhang Yuanjing's trace. Thinking that he had moved horizontally, he searched around, but after searching for half a quarter of an hour, he couldn't find any clues. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and use the sound transmission jade to call Zhang Yuanjing out.

Zhang Yuanjing advanced to the mid-stage of Core Formation in the Tomb of King Xue, and his divine soul was also improved. When he performed Earth Escape Technique, he could reach a depth of more than two hundred zhang. No matter how strong a Core Formation cultivator's divine sense was, it could not lock onto his trace.

When he came out, Lu Tianying laughed loudly, "Yuanjing, with your escape technique, you can go anywhere in the world. This time, when we attack and kill the Core Formation cultivators of the Heavenly Devil Abyss, I will be in the open and you will be in the dark. If we cooperate with each other, we will be invincible!"

Zhang Yuanjing smiled, "My method is only good for escaping, but it's just average for fighting the enemy. I still have to rely on Senior Uncle's great power to succeed."

Taking advantage of the mountain's terrain, the two quickly approached the mountain peak. On the way, they also discovered that there were Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators patrolling nearby, but Lu Tianying discovered them in advance and quietly avoided them.

At midnight, the two were already a hundred miles away from the mountain peak.

Zhang Yuanjing said, "Senior Uncle Lu, I'll go over from the ground to explore the situation first."

Lu Tianying waved his hand, "There are only two or three Core Formation cultivators, why bother with so much trouble. You just sneak over from the ground, hide a little deeper. Wait for me to lure them out."

Zhang Yuanjing was stunned, "How does Senior Uncle plan to lure them out?"

Lu Tianying chuckled, "Isn't it enough to just barge in?"

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked, "Senior Uncle, if there's an ambush, it could be a bit troublesome."

Lu Tianying waved his hand casually, "What's the trouble! It doesn't matter, just watch my methods. You go hide in the ground."

After saying that, he ignored Zhang Yuanjing, activated his flying sword, and flew straight towards the mountain peak.

This mountain is not high, about six or seven hundred zhang. There are several large spiritual veins converging in the ground, which can be considered a place where spiritual energy accumulates, so the Heavenly Devil Abyss chose it as a stronghold for attacking Flowing Cloud City.

There is a formation in the mountain, but it is not a large formation, only covering an area of twenty or thirty miles around the mountainside.

Lu Tianying swept across the night sky. After entering the formation within a range of thirty miles, a purple light suddenly burst out from his body, and five flying swords were hidden in the purple flames, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible.

This kind of momentum was naturally discovered early on. The originally pitch-black mountains and fields suddenly rose up like a scorching sun, casting light in all directions, and clearly illuminating Lu Tianying.

Zhang Yuanjing was helpless and quickly used the Earth Escape Technique to quickly approach the mountain peak from the ground.

Probably knowing that Zhang Yuanjing had not yet approached, Lu Tianying hovered outside the formation, looking at the people in the formation with a playful look, but he was not in a hurry to attack.

There are more than a dozen buildings of various sizes in the formation, and there are nearly a hundred cultivators, but most of them are Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators. There are five Core Formation Grandmasters. This is somewhat different from the situation discovered by the City Lord's Mansion, but Lu Tianying doesn't care.

He scanned his divine sense around, covering a range of more than forty miles, confirming that there were no ambushes nearby, and then laughed loudly, "I am Lu Tianying of the Profound Heaven Sect, coming alone. Which fellow Daoist will come out for a while? If one person doesn't dare, come together. I happen to have five flying swords, just enough for one sword per person!"

Inside the formation, the five Core Formation cultivators of the Heavenly Devil Abyss were all at the mid-stage of Core Formation. They talked to each other a few times and ignored Lu Tianying, who was calling out in the sky.

Lu Tianying was not annoyed and still had a smile on his face, saying, "If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. I've already come, so I still have to meet with you fellow Daoists. It's not a good idea to just watch like this!"

He gave a light shout, the purple flames around his body spread out, and the five flying swords spun around. At first, you could still see the traces, but later there were only five faint afterimages left.

At this time, he moved, like a purple fireball, crashing straight into the great formation in the astonished eyes of the five Core Formation cultivators!
