Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#52 - Chapter 52 Tracking
"Reverend Hu, there's no response from the transmission. Not even a buzz," Zhang Yuanjing said to Hu Chou beside him, after holding the transmission jade for a long time without getting any results.
To promptly search for the traces of the Xuantian cultivators, Zhang Yuanjing had Hu Chou personally oversee the matter.
"Oh, so the signal is being sent, but there's no sound at all?" Hu Chou asked calmly, seemingly prepared for this. "Send another transmission; let me listen for a response."
Zhang Yuanjing followed his instructions, sending transmissions to Wu Yuankui and Yu Tianwan respectively, and then handed the jade to Hu Chou.
Hu Chou took it, listened for a moment, nodded, and said, "I understand." He then stepped forward, walked to Ling Xiao at the front, and spoke to him via transmission.
Ling Xiao occasionally asked a few questions. Then, after Hu Chou said something, Ling Xiao shook his head repeatedly. Hu Chou, however, wore a persistent expression and repeatedly tried to persuade him. Finally, Ling Xiao nodded.
Immediately, Ling Xiao turned around and loudly ordered, "All Core Formation cultivators, use mid-grade, high-quality Wind Riding Charms and fly at full speed."
After saying that, he accelerated and flew swiftly, with Hu Chou closely following behind. Xuan Yi caught up while sending a transmission to Hu Chou, inquiring about something. Sun Zelin and all the other Core Formation cultivators immediately took out their extremely precious mid-grade, high-quality Wind Riding Charms, stuck them to their chests, and flew away at top speed, regardless of the cost to their magical power.
Before a quarter of an hour had passed, the two Core Formation cultivators at the rear suddenly let out a miserable scream and disappeared. At the same time, layers of dark shadows closed in, and the atmosphere instantly became oppressive.
The group quickly gathered, formed a formation, and fought against the dark shadows. The two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators took the initiative to attack, engaging two mid-stage Nascent Soul Stage异魔 (Yi Mo).
Ling Xiao had already captured the trace of the late-stage Nascent Soul Stage 异魔 (Yi Mo). He suddenly rushed out of the crowd, with several ice blades dancing wildly around him,斬落 (zhan luo) all the 异魔 (Yi Mo) that stood in his way. At the same time, the Frost Piercer Orb, like a shooting star, emitted a chilling aura and crashed into a certain space.
That space looked no different in the pitch-black Void Demon World. But under the impact of the Frost Piercer Orb, there was a loud "bang," as if something had been knocked out of the void. The thing made a "hoarse" sound and quickly fled away.
Ling Xiao had already been watching its escape route. The moment it was knocked out, he rapidly cast spells and whispered, "Soul Extraction."
The Frost Piercer Orb slowly rotated, shining with white light, sweeping across the surrounding dozens of zhang of void. Then, it rotated faster and faster, the light piercing through the air, sweeping down the 异魔 (Yi Mo) that had just escaped a dozen zhang away. Immediately, the white light transformed into chains of light, pouncing down and firmly binding the 异魔 (Yi Mo), constantly tightening.
The 异魔 (Yi Mo) would not sit still and wait for death. Its body quickly stretched, blurred, and tried to escape from the gaps in the light chains. Ling Xiao saw this clearly, changed his hand seals again, and the light chains no longer contracted, but constantly changed color. A domineering suction force was generated, directly extracting the 异魔 (Yi Mo)'s soul.
The 异魔 (Yi Mo)'s whole body twisted, splitting into several pieces at the points where the chains bound it. The three larger pieces quickly broke away and disappeared into the darkness. The two smaller pieces were tightly sucked by the light chains, shaking violently as the chains swayed. After a few breaths, they dissipated like smoke.
At this time, without Ling Xiao's protection, the others were in a very difficult situation under the siege of many 异魔 (Yi Mo). The two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, using various methods, looked pale, barely coping with the combined attacks of two mid-stage and two early-stage Nascent Soul Stage 异魔 (Yi Mo).
As for the remaining Core Formation cultivators, they were being besieged and killed by the other two early-stage Nascent Soul Stage 异魔 (Yi Mo) and several Core Formation Stage 异魔 (Yi Mo), and five of them died on the spot. Fortunately, Ling Xiao quickly returned to assist, slaying one mid-stage and two early-stage Nascent Soul Stage 异魔 (Yi Mo), and exterminating more than ten Core Formation level 异魔 (Yi Mo), which reversed the situation, defeated the entire 异魔 (Yi Mo) group, and avoided even greater casualties.
After the 异魔 (Yi Mo) disappeared, Ling Xiao took out three black talismans flashing with a refined light without saying much, and said to Hu Chou, "These are Xuan Lei Talismans, one low-grade high-tier, and two high-grade mid-tier. If you encounter powerful 异魔 (Yi Mo), you can use them to save your life. Remember, there are only three of these, do not use them lightly. Go quickly!"
Hu Chou looked solemn, his eyes flickering. He took the talismans with both hands, clasped his fist and saluted Ling Xiao, then set up his flying sword and disappeared into the darkness like an arrow leaving the string.
At this time, Ling Xiao looked at the obviously sparse team and said in a bleak tone, "Reverend Hu is exploring the way ahead, and we will follow behind. The late-stage Nascent Soul Stage 异魔 (Yi Mo) was severely injured by me and will not come again for at least half a day. Next, continue to advance with all our strength, do not slack off."
Besides the three Real People, a total of twenty Core Formation cultivators from the Tianmo Abyss entered the Void Demon World. At this time, eleven had already fallen, more than half. Those who survived were the stronger cultivators. All seven late-stage Core Formation cultivators were unharmed, and the other two were the best among the mid-stage Core Formation cultivators. Chen Zhen was one of them.
The most awkward one was Zhang Yuanjing. During the attack just now, Hu Chou was fighting with all his strength and couldn't take care of him at all. Coincidentally, the attacking 异魔 (Yi Mo), all those at the Core Formation level, tried to stay away from the three Real People as much as possible and focused on besieging the Core Formation cultivators, while the Nascent Soul level 异魔 (Yi Mo) focused their attention on the Real People.
Zhang Yuanjing was near Hu Chou, and the surrounding area became a vacuum, and no 异魔 (Yi Mo) came over for a while. By the time a Core Formation 异魔 (Yi Mo) reacted and wanted to pick up a bargain, Ling Xiao had already struck down, severely wounding their king and began to massacre them, scaring these 异魔 (Yi Mo) to flee.
Ling Xiao didn't say how to arrange Zhang Yuanjing, and the others naturally wouldn't pay attention. Only Chen Zhen, who had been with Zhang Yuanjing before, thought about it and felt it was better to be cautious and take him along first. If the Mountain Lord was annoyed, he could just slap him to death at that time.
Zhang Yuanjing was behind Chen Zhen, being dragged forward by him. Compared to before, he clearly felt the deterioration of this person's attitude. Regarding Hu Chou's departure, he had vaguely thought of something. Because all of this started when he couldn't contact Wu Yuankui at all.
Originally, a vague signal had already been transmitted, indicating that Yuankui already knew he had entered this world. However, the complete disappearance of the signal only had two possibilities: one was that the distance exceeded the transmission range, and the other was that the spirit jade was destroyed.
If it was the former, Yuankui and the others would have to fly more than ten thousand miles in a very short time, which was impossible. Therefore, it could only be the latter. Yuankui and the others, in order to cut off contact with him, did not hesitate to destroy the commonly used transmission spirit jade.
This speculation made Zhang Yuanjing's face pale and his expression extremely dejected. He realized that he was likely deceived by Ling Xiao. The purpose of contacting with the transmission spirit jade was not for cooperation, but only for tracking. Because of his stupidity, Yuankui and the others' whereabouts were exposed. How could the speed of a Real Person searching alone be compared to that of Core Formation cultivators!
Along the way, he had already seen Ling Xiao's power. Such a great cultivator, even 异魔 (Yi Mo) of the same realm were no match for him. Qi Zhenren was probably not his opponent either.
Half an hour later, Hu Chou appeared in the sky above a desert. He looked around excitedly. The earth realm of the Void Demon World is usually curved. He could see the earth realm here, indicating that this place was not far from the edge realm.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging finally dropped. If he couldn't see hope for a long time, even with the Mountain Lord's threat, people's hearts would probably dissipate. This was just the beginning, and he hadn't even entered the secret realm yet. There were more places to explore there. Every additional person meant higher efficiency, which meant being in a more advantageous position in the race against time.
He lowered his flying sword and landed on the sand. The feeling of stepping on the ground was so wonderful. He strode around, and the powerful divine sense, limited by the power of the void, could only cover an area of a few miles around. Soon, he discovered traces of battle, as well as signs of formation.
He stood there and took out a treasure like a compass. It was a silver spoon with a few square-headed screws on the side and a set of complex formation patterns engraved on the base. He took out a few glittering spirit stones, inserted them into a groove under the base, then twisted the screws on the side, gently flicked the silver spoon with his finger, and the spoon slowly turned. After a few weeks, the speed increased, faster and faster, and finally only saw a silver plate, shining in the darkness.
A dozen breaths later, a red light lit up on the silver plate, making a "beep beep beep" sound.
"Southwest?" Hu Chou frowned, then sneered, "Petty tricks. I don't believe you can really turn back!"
He put away the treasure, flew into the air on his sword, and headed southwest. According to the original direction to the edge realm, he should have been going west all the time. The Xuantian Sect people were heading southwest, naturally wanting to avoid being tracked, but this would inevitably prolong the journey and make it easier to be caught up. He took out the spirit jade, sent a message, and continued to track.
Along the way, he found two more traces of battle, and the residual aura was very clear, showing that it had just ended not long ago. He slowed down and expanded his divine sense to the limit, looking around vigilantly.
Suddenly, in the space below and in front of him, a brief white light appeared, fleeting. He listened carefully, but there was no sound. In the void, sound was difficult to travel far. However, judging from the size of the light, it was at most only a hundred miles away.
He accelerated towards that side. Dozens of breaths later, he saw another flash of light, slashing down from above, cutting through the darkness with terrifying power. It turned out to be a flash of lightning. Immediately, a "crackling" sound came, very weak. With the help of this lightning, he clearly saw several figures running and jumping, as well as flying swords, jade rulers, and other spiritual weapons flying back and forth.
"It's thunder magic, it really is the people of the Xuantian Sect!" Hu Chou said in a low voice with a smile on his rough face, as if relieved.
He stopped in place, no longer approaching, and took out the spirit jade to transmit a message. He had already taught Xuan Yi the method of tracking targets through the transmission spirit jade. As long as the spirit jade was not lost, he didn't have to worry about the people behind losing track of him.
