Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Heaven... the power of heavenly lightning?" Hu Chou was somewhat incredulous. How could heavenly lightning appear in the Void Demon World?

"It's lightning magic or a lightning talisman!" A voice came from behind him. Hu Chou turned around in pleasant surprise, unable to see anyone in the darkness, but he knew that Mountain Lord Ling Xiao had arrived with the others.

"Mountain Lord!" Hu Chou quickly turned around and saluted.

"Junior Brother Hu, you've worked hard, you've done well!" Ling Xiao arrived first, with Xuan Yi and the other Core Formation cultivators trailing behind by dozens of miles.

His expression was solemn as he gazed into the distance, and he said in a low voice, "I've long heard that the Xuan Tian Sect excels at lightning magic. I didn't expect it to be so powerful, truly possessing a trace of heavenly lightning!"

"Mountain Lord, you..." Hu Chou took a few steps closer, only then realizing that Ling Xiao's face was somewhat pale, and his brow revealed deep fatigue.

"It's nothing, that late-stage Otherworldly Demon is growing too fast, its strength is almost equal to mine. I fought it three times while traveling, and it consumed a lot of my energy," Ling Xiao waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

"To encounter an Otherworldly Demon with strength comparable to the Mountain Lord's in less than two days of entering this world, this is a bit difficult!" Hu Chou frowned, both surprised and worried.

"For now, there's only this one late-stage Otherworldly Demon, so there's still a way to deal with it." Ling Xiao pointed to the location of the Xuan Tian cultivators, "Cooperate with Qi Tianxiang to use that lightning magic or lightning talisman to kill this Otherworldly Demon!"

Hu Chou was stunned, then nodded, "That is one way. I'll go stop them first!"

"Well, don't rush, wait for Xuan Yi and the others to come over." Ling Xiao stopped Hu Chou, revealing a strange smile, "Bring that Zhang Yuanjing along, let him convey our meaning first."

Hearing this, Hu Chou also smiled, praising, "Mountain Lord, you are very insightful, this will come in handy."

Before long, Xuan Yi arrived with eight Core Formation cultivators. While hurriedly chasing after the Xuan Tian cultivators, another mid-stage Core Formation cultivator was buried in the demon's belly. Of the dozen or so mid-stage Core Formation demonic cultivators who came with them, only Chen Zhen remained.

"Little friend Zhang, you must have seen the brilliant lightning just now. It's over there, where your Xuan Tian Sect's cultivators are." Ling Xiao walked directly to Zhang Yuanjing, pointing to a certain place in front of him, "Now, Real Person Hu will send you over to convey the intention of my Heavenly Demon Abyss to cooperate with your sect. You must remember that a late-stage Nascent Soul Otherworldly Demon has been born in this world, and its cultivation is still growing rapidly, it will soon reach the Great Perfection stage. If we don't eliminate this demon, none of us will be able to leave this realm alive!"

Zhang Yuanjing had originally believed that the Heavenly Demon Abyss was just using him to transmit a message in order to search for the Xuan Tian cultivators and do them harm. Hearing Ling Xiao say this, he couldn't help but feel confused, wondering if what he said before wasn't a deception.

Seeing that he was a little dazed, Ling Xiao emphasized again, "If your Xuan Tian Sect wants to clear the 'Mustard Seed Space', then accept our goodwill. If there's anything you don't understand, I can personally explain it to Real Person Qi!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Yuanjing to think, he nodded to Hu Chou, "Go."

Hu Chou grabbed Zhang Yuanjing's arm, stepping on his flying sword and disappearing into the darkness like a shooting star. The magic power in his hand surged out, constructing a protective shield in front of Zhang Yuanjing, blocking the explosive force brought by breaking through the air, and approaching the location of the Xuan Tian cultivators at an extremely fast speed.

After the great battle, the Xuan Tian Sect cultivators were meditating and recovering with spirit stones. The result was unexpected. Not only were three mid-stage Nascent Soul Otherworldly Demons killed, but the lightning also affected many early-stage Nascent Soul Otherworldly Demons and a large number of Core Formation level Otherworldly Demons, scattering the shadowy Otherworldly Demon groups. Of course, the process was also different. The three high-grade low-rank Golden Lightning Talismans that had been prepared in advance could not be used. Qi Tianxiang adapted to the situation and used a high-grade low-rank Wood Lightning Talisman to bind the three mid-stage Otherworldly Demons, and then used the strongest Five Thunders Sky-Opening Talisman to eliminate the powerful enemies in one fell swoop.

"Alright, everyone get up, leave this place quickly." Qi Tianxiang did not enter meditation, but vigilantly looked around, guarding against any sudden attacks.

In the darkness of this Void Demon Space, the power of lightning released by a Five Thunders Sky-Opening Talisman was probably as clear as the bright moon hanging in the night sky, even thousands of miles away.

The crowd stood up one after another, summoned their flying swords, and followed Qi Tianxiang forward. However, after flying only a few miles, Qi Tianxiang stopped and turned to look into the darkness behind him.

"Master?"

"Someone's coming!"

"Ah, is it a Heavenly Demon Abyss cultivator?"

"A early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and one is... Yuanjing."

Wu Yuankui was shocked, turned around and looked into the distance, but there was nothing but thick darkness that couldn't be dispelled.

At this moment, a voice came from afar, faintly audible: "Real... I am... Abyss Hu Chou, please stay... matter... discuss!"

Qi Tianxiang did not respond, but fell into deep thought. He did not order everyone to flee immediately. Since the other party had Nascent Soul cultivators, and most likely more than one Real Person, then there was no possibility of escape.

"Real Person Qi, I am Hu Chou from the Heavenly Demon Abyss, please stay, I have something to discuss!" The voice came again, very clear, showing that Hu Chou had arrived at a very close place.

In the Void Demon World, divine sense was restricted and the five senses were extremely weak. To avoid misunderstandings, Hu Chou did not dare to get too close, but stopped two miles away.

He spoke again, "Real Person Qi, Mountain Lord Ling of my Heavenly Demon Abyss has arrived in person, and wants to meet with you to discuss how to deal with the late-stage Nascent Soul Otherworldly Demon. This matter concerns the safety of the cultivators of both sects, and also concerns whether your sect's purpose can be achieved. It's urgent, please be sure to agree."

When Qi Tianxiang heard the words "late-stage Nascent Soul Otherworldly Demon," his long eyebrows suddenly raised, his eyes fixed on the direction from which the voice came, and a monstrous wave surged in his heart. Two days ago, when the Heavenly Demon Abyss cultivators entered this space, the Void Demon Space condensed into the Void Demon World. At that time, the strongest Otherworldly Demon was only at the mid-stage Nascent Soul stage, and he had determined that this was the upper limit of the cultivation of the Otherworldly Demons in this world. Hearing Hu Chou's words at this time, he immediately thought that if his words were true, it would mean that the Otherworldly Demons here could grow, and once their strength exceeded the scope that the Heavenly Spirit Realm could tolerate, the entire Void Demon World would be forcibly destroyed. In that case, the Xuan Tian Sect's Great Spirit Vein would be irreparable.

However, he would never believe this person's words without seeing the late-stage Nascent Soul Otherworldly Demon with his own eyes.

Seeing that Qi Tianxiang still did not answer, Hu Chou said again, "Real Person Qi, if you don't believe me, I can let your sect's disciple Zhang Yuanjing go over. He entered this realm with us, and he knows everything we encountered along the way."

Qi Tianxiang frowned, pondered slightly, and then gathered his energy into a voice, saying to the direction where Hu Chou was, "Let him come over."

At the same time, he instructed the others to prepare. Once they discovered any signs of a surprise attack from the Heavenly Demon Abyss, they should immediately use the Wind Riding Talisman to escape, and he would cover their retreat.

On the other side, Hu Chou released Zhang Yuanjing's hand, gently patted his shoulder, and said, "You've seen the power of the late-stage Nascent Soul Otherworldly Demon. The Mountain Lord also specifically told you about our purpose in entering the 'Mustard Seed Space'. When Real Person Qi asks, just answer truthfully. Whether to cooperate or how to cooperate is up to Real Person Qi to consider, you don't need to say much. Go!"

Zhang Yuanjing broke free from Hu Chou's control, drove his flying sword, and flew in the direction from which Qi Tianxiang's voice came. It was only two miles away, and at his speed, it would only take a few breaths. He felt like he was in a dream. He originally thought that he had lost his value and would definitely die. But in reality, he had encountered Otherworldly Demons several times, and a dozen Core Formation cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Abyss had fallen. He had also wandered in front of the gates of hell several times. Just as he was guessing whether he would die in the next Otherworldly Demon siege, the situation suddenly turned around, and he unexpectedly had a use again, saving his life.

The invisible film that had originally enveloped his heart broke with a "crack," and his whole heart jumped lively, with vitality bursting forth, reversing the previous state of fear and depression. At this time, the power of Thick Earth in his dantian also suddenly became excited. They rotated and jumped, turning from the dantian into the meridians, pulling his whole body's muscles and bones, pushing him forward, as if something was calling them from somewhere.

At first, Zhang Yuanjing thought that this was the joy of surviving a desperate situation and reuniting with relatives and friends, which caused his mentality to be too excited and caused his spiritual power to be out of control. Therefore, he quickly calmed his mind, adjusted his inner breath, and guided his spiritual power into the meridians where the cultivation method was running, trying to appease the power of Thick Earth. However, the power of Thick Earth at this time did not completely obey his instructions. With a resistant emotion, it roamed around, still pushing him to go in a certain direction.

"Yuanjing, come over here!" A dignified voice sounded in Zhang Yuanjing's ear.

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked, and only then did he realize that he had flown to a space, and several figures were flickering not far away. He couldn't care about controlling the power of Thick Earth, so he quickly adjusted his direction, landed his flying sword, and slowly leaned over.

"Disciple Yuanjing pays respects to Real Person! Greetings, Senior Brother Sect Leader! Greetings, Elders!" Zhang Yuanjing suppressed his excited mood and saluted one by one.

However, apart from Wu Yuankui showing a concerned expression, Hu Tiancong and Yu Tianwan only nodded slightly, while the others seemed a little indifferent. Zeng Tianshou, Qian Tianwu, and Qin Tianbao even showed disgusted expressions.

Zhang Yuanjing's heart sank suddenly. The thing he had been worried about had still happened.

"Yuanjing, how... how did you fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Abyss cultivators?" Wu Yuankui noticed that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, so he asked before Qi Tianxiang.

Although Zhang Yuanjing was dull, he also realized the crowd's antipathy towards him. He said uneasily, "After separating from Uncle Tianwan that day, I avoided the pursuit of several Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators and spent more than ten days rushing to Horseshoe Valley in Shumi Mountain, and ran into a large number of demonic cultivators guarding there, and was captured by them."

Then, he said that he was tortured, but he was firm and unyielding, and did not reveal any secrets about Xuan Tian's safety.

"Yuanjing, why are you lying at this time!" Wu Yuankui looked him up and down, suddenly became furious, and scolded sharply, "Look at yourself, where is there any sign of being tortured!"

Seeing Wu Yuankui's distressed look, Zhang Yuanjing was dumbfounded and somewhat speechless. Then he reacted and shouted, "Senior Brother, I'm not lying, I really suffered their physical four tortures. It's just that Ling Xiao came later and told them to stop the torture, and gave me a Transformation Pill, so my physical body recovered!"

As soon as these words came out, some of the Core Formation elders were thoughtful, some showed suspicious expressions, some showed playful expressions, and some shook their heads repeatedly, as if they believed that Zhang Yuanjing was so stupid that he couldn't even tell a lie, and only said some lies that discerning people could easily see through.

"Yuanjing! What is a Transformation Pill? Ask the elders standing here, which one of them has the opportunity to take it! If what you said is true, what secrets did you sell to that Ling Xiao in order to exchange for such a valuable pill!" Wu Yuankui was both disappointed and annoyed, and if it weren't for the sake of old feelings, he would have liked to slap this idiot to death.

Zhang Yuanjing's joy of reuniting with his senior brother was swept away, and only grief and loss remained in his heart. He told all the words Ling Xiao had told him, and finally said with a crying voice, "Ling Xiao said that as long as I answered his questions, he would let me live. However, I was worried about your safety, so I asked them to bring me here. I really thought that the Heavenly Demon Abyss wanted to cooperate with my Xuan Tian before I came to find you. I didn't betray the sect, and I didn't deliberately track you for them."

However, deep in his heart, Ling Xiao's words such as "the source of will must come from within" and "one can only not fear death for oneself" echoed repeatedly. He asked himself, was he really purely for the sect and for his senior brother? But he could have left, wasn't it for the sect and his senior brother's safety that he risked falling and entered here? What was wrong? His heart was full of confusion.
