Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

As Zhulong's voice faded, the entire gray space suddenly trembled. Above, the sky cracked with a snap, shattering like a mirror that had been smashed, the fissures resembling a spiderweb crawling across the sky.

Then, with a deafening boom, the entire sky vanished, and darkness descended, devoid of light and air, replaced by boundless void and the gurgling flow of nihilistic power.

"Void Demon Space?" Zhang Yuanjing exclaimed in alarm, involuntarily recalling the Void Demon Space at Mount Sumeru.

"What Void Demon Space! This is the Endless Void! It's the strongest illusion this king can currently create!"

Zhulong's voice came from his left, distant and deep, tinged with reminiscence and contemplation. "Hmm, it's still lacking something! What is it? That's right, it only has emptiness, vastness, grandeur, and boundlessness, but not the freedom to roam, the unrestrained spirit, the ability to traverse heaven and earth, unhindered by the cosmos!"

As Zhulong spoke, he suddenly roared to the sky, then shouted, "Open!"

Within the endless void, something rumbled, like the march of a ferocious beast or the explosion of space.

After a few breaths, an invisible wave swept through the darkness, passed over Zhang Yuanjing, and disappeared into the darkness on the other side.

It was as if a thick layer of dust, accumulated for countless years, had been swept away from between heaven and earth, making everything clear and vibrant. Within the void, it seemed that life was being conceived, and a power of world rebirth and the renewal of all things quietly permeated every space and every corner.

"Such a strong power of generation!" a voice came from behind Zhang Yuanjing, belonging to Fire Crow Daoist.

"Senior, you're here too!" Zhang Yuanjing asked in surprise.

"Hehe, with such an illusion, of course I'm here!" Fire Crow Daoist said with a smile, then his voice turned serious, "It broke through!"

"Zhulong broke through? Just now?" Although Zhang Yuanjing was prepared, he was still taken aback. "Is the breakthrough from Transformation Realm to Soul Fusion this subtle in the demonic path?"

"Subtle?" Fire Crow Daoist had moved to Zhang Yuanjing's side. His dark red face flickered with flame-like glimmers in the darkness, illuminating a pair of deep eyes that were even more piercing. "This corresponds to the initial transformation of the Deity Transformation stage. Using the nascent soul to illuminate the world and drawing upon the power of generation is the first step for cultivators to attempt to control the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the beginning of breaking through the cage of heaven and earth!"

He paused, then continued, "Although it's not a Daoist cultivator, the internal principles of this kind of leap in the level of life are interconnected. Yuanjing, comprehend it well, this is a great opportunity for us!"

Zhang Yuanjing silently nodded, recalling the Five Elements wave that had passed over him, and unconsciously sank into it.

Fire Crow Daoist ignited blazing true fire all over his body, enveloping him entirely, transforming into a giant fire crow.

The fire crow's eyes were pitch black, like two black gemstones, flashing with a deep light in the flames. As the vitality of all things in the void increased, the flames on the fire crow became even more intense. At a certain subtle moment, the flames began to scatter and fall, one flower to the left, one cluster to the right, streaking across the darkness, illuminating patches of void and the invisible power of generation within it.

"Bang!" With a soft sound, the fire crow exploded, revealing the unharmed Fire Crow Daoist.

His eyes were like lightning, his body was filled with flowing essence, and majestic spiritual energy overflowed from his waist, swirling around him. After a few breaths, the spiritual energy disappeared, and everything returned to normal.

However, his cultivation seemed to have increased significantly. His realm was still the Great Perfection stage, but it was different from before.

Zhang Yuanjing seemed to have touched upon some kind of profound mystery, and the power of Thick Earth in his body suddenly surged, with layers of dim light rising, as if entering a state of depletion.

In that instant, Zhang Yuanjing had a flash of insight. He quickly took out a large amount of black ash-like material, swallowed it, and activated the Devouring Technique, allowing the power of Thick Earth to continuously refine it.

Time flashed by in a daze. As a layer of dim light emerged, the power of Thick Earth completely changed, turning dark yellow. The Thick Earth Transformation Technique advanced again, reaching the sixth level.

At the same time, it seemed that some kind of restraint in his body was broken. Countless mana gathered in his dantian, revolving around the round inner core. Before long, the inner core turned golden, its light blazing like a rare treasure. With the initial formation of the golden core, his cultivation broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Fire Crow Daoist cupped his hands and smiled, "Yuanjing, congratulations!"

Zhang Yuanjing quickly returned the greeting, and said with joy, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"

At this time, the entire void was still evolving and changing, and Zhulong's breakthrough was not yet complete.

The current scene was too profound for Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Daoist to comprehend. So, they began to talk, recounting their respective experiences after entering the illusion.

After exchanging information, they realized that they were actually working together through the division of labor in the illusion to deal with those powerful enemies. One was responsible for destroying the body, and the other was responsible for killing the soul. The cooperation was perfect and flawless, and they easily solved a group of powerful enemies, marveling at Zhulong's talent for creating illusions.

"Senior, how did you finally kill Chu Tianxiong's soul body? Even if he lost the support of his physical body, it wouldn't be easy to deal with him if he wanted to escape!" Zhang Yuanjing asked.

Fire Crow Daoist smiled, "Although this person is a Nascent Soul, his temperament seems to have some flaws, and he is prone to emotional fluctuations. He and I fought with our magic power, stalemating on the spot. In fact, he is a true soul body, and a Real Person with a powerful nascent soul, he could have attacked me with his divine sense outside of the magic power. Strangely, he seemed to be quite arrogant and somewhat impulsive, insisting on overpowering me in terms of magic power, so he never used any divine sense techniques.

"After such a stalemate for twenty or so breaths, my strength was far inferior, and I was indeed a little unable to hold on. Seeing that he was about to win, he became even more careless, and diverted some of his energy to take care of the soul body of the Right Divine Envoy. Just at this time, you, Yuanjing, killed his physical body, and his magic power completely disappeared in an instant. The Myriad Beast True Fire rushed towards him without hindrance.

"If he had dodged in time, I wouldn't have been able to catch up. However, he still wanted to protect the Right Divine Envoy, so he hesitated slightly, and probably tried to mobilize his magic power again. It was this delay that allowed the Myriad Beast True Fire to engulf him and the Right Divine Envoy's soul body together.

"To be honest, I was completely surprised that a Real Person's soul body could be killed so easily. This must be due to Zhulong's influence. We are no different in the illusion from reality, but others, not only are their physical bodies and souls separated, but they are also subject to many additional disturbances or temptations, making it difficult to exert their true strength!"

After listening, Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but sigh.

A Real Person in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and very likely a Real Person with an extraordinary background and powerful means, was actually killed so frustratingly by two Golden Core cultivators. If this were said outside, it is estimated that no one would believe it.

He said with emotion, "The Ancient Strange Insect clan is indeed born with the fortune of heaven and earth. This kind of talent is simply terrifying!"

"Hehe, of course. Each of our Ancient Strange Insects has unique skills and can fight against any strong enemy in the world."

Zhulong's voice came from above, full of joy and excitement, "However, it consumes a lot of the source power. Unless it's a desperate situation, it rarely releases super-realm talent abilities."

It paused slightly, and continued, "You two, with the help of this illusion, this king has broken through the realm and successfully advanced to the Soul Fusion stage, enough to break the restrictions that the bald thief placed in my body! Farewell, if fate allows!"

After a few breaths, the endless darkness receded, and the dim cave appeared around them.

Outside the Barren Death Zone, in the vast world, in an instant, the concentration of spiritual power seemed to have increased by a layer. However, most cultivators were not aware of this.

On the summit of a majestic mountain in the central region, within a magnificent palace in the eastern region, in a deep mountain valley with echoing Sanskrit chants in the southern region, on the western foothills of the Hengduan Mountains stretching hundreds of millions of miles, and in the deep sea abyss of the extreme southern region, some powerful beings who had been in seclusion for many years suddenly felt something, woke up from their meditation, either surprised, suspicious, worried, or happy, and then fell into contemplation.
