Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

At this moment, Zhang Yuanjing remembered something and quickly stood up to say to Zhang Xuan, "Master, this Deputy Envoy has another matter that requires the assistance of the sect."

Zhang Xuan said calmly, "Deputy Envoy Zhang, please speak."

Zhang Yuanjing said, "On the way to Candle Yin Valley, this envoy discovered a person who seems to be a cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Abyss. I wonder who invited this person? Does anyone present know about this?"

He was referring to Chen Zhen, who had come with Chu Tianxiong, and was naturally related to the Right Divine Envoy. However, apart from himself, even Fire Crow Daoist didn't know about this. He brought this up as a prelude to asking Zhang Xuan to mobilize the members of the Candle God Sect to find and kill this person, eliminating future troubles.

Of the hostile cultivators who survived from the Mustard Seed Space back then, only Wen Zaidao and Chen Zhen remained. The former was already dead, and the latter should naturally be killed if possible.

"Heavenly Demon Abyss?" The Left Divine Envoy, who had just taken his seat, jumped up as if his backside was on fire upon hearing this, revealing a rare and undignified state. However, he was completely unaware of it and hastily asked, "What is his cultivation level? What is his status in the Heavenly Demon Abyss? Is there only one person?"

Zhang Yuanjing looked at the Left Divine Envoy in surprise, not understanding why he had such a big reaction.

The Left Divine Envoy then realized that he had been a bit abrupt and impatient, and couldn't help but cough to cover it up, saying, "Since my divine soul was injured, I have had some trouble controlling my thoughts! I apologize for making everyone laugh!"

Zhang Xuan interjected, "For something to make the Left Divine Envoy so anxious, it must be a major event related to the safety of the sect. Left Divine Envoy, why not explain it in detail so that everyone can understand."

The Left Divine Envoy first gave Zhang Xuan a grateful look, lowered his head, and said, "Yes." Then, facing the cultivators on both sides of the long table, he said solemnly, "This involves the matter of the former Master's death in the Heavenly Demon Abyss."

As soon as these words came out, the entire room was shocked.

Regarding the matter of the former Master's death, very little information had been passed down. Everyone, like Golden Law King, only knew that the former Master had received a jade slip, suddenly left the sect, and then disappeared. It wasn't until eighty years later, when the inherited divine beast Candle Dragon began to weaken, that the upper echelons of the sect inferred that the former Master had died and that the power within him had not returned to Candle Dragon.

As for more details, they were completely unaware. Now, the Left Divine Envoy's opening statement that the former Master had died in the Heavenly Demon Abyss naturally shocked these Saint Core Realm cultivators.

The Left Divine Envoy ignored everyone's reaction and said calmly, "This matter is recorded in a secret book, which was personally recorded by the Left Divine Envoy of that generation. About 1,200 years ago, the former Master heard that the 'Heavenly Demon Abyss' was growing stronger day by day, and there were many rare treasures in the abyss, so he had the idea of forming an alliance. Initially, he secretly sent two Dharma Transmission Envoys to travel to the Heavenly Demon Abyss and establish contact with its upper-level cultivators. A Demon cultivator in the early Transformation Realm personally received them and gave them an invitation, inviting the former Master to personally go to the Heavenly Demon Abyss to discuss cooperation."

"After the two Dharma Transmission Envoys brought back the invitation, the former Master summoned his four Transformation Realm confidants—the Left Divine Envoy, the Right Divine Envoy, the Golden Law King, and the White Law King—to discuss the matter. The four of them did not agree with him going in person, believing that the Heavenly Demon Abyss was not a pure force and had a very complex background. It was said that there were many Daoist cultivators within, and even the Mountain Lord was a Nascent Soul True Person of the Daoist sect. They advocated that the Left Divine Envoy or the Right Divine Envoy go in his place to first see the other party's sincerity before proceeding to the next step of cooperation.

"However, the former Master insisted on going. His reason was that the sect's development had reached a bottleneck, and if it wanted to reach the next level and truly become a super power that could shake this world, it needed to make changes. And the Heavenly Demon Abyss was the opportunity for change.

"At that time, the former Master was already at the Great Perfection of the Middle Transformation Realm, only a line away from the Late Stage. The two Divine Envoys and the two Law Kings were also powerful figures in the Early Transformation Realm, and there were more than eighty Saint Core Realm Demon cultivators. Their strength was so great that they could rank in the top five in the Southern Region at that time. However, the former Master was ambitious and no one could stop him, and he finally made the trip.

"He took the two Dharma Transmission Envoys and never returned. Later, the sect also sent people to investigate, but they all disappeared without a trace. Finally, the Left Divine Envoy at the time went in person and returned injured. He had a secret talk with the Right Divine Envoy, the Golden Law King, and the White Law King. After that, the sect cleared all records about the former Master's trip to the Heavenly Demon Abyss. The records in the classics only said that he received a jade slip, suddenly went out, and never came back.

"In the secret book recorded by the Left Divine Envoy, he said that the Heavenly Demon Abyss had a deep background and powerful strength, which the sect could not match. The cause of the former Master's death was complex and should not be announced to the members of the sect, lest the members of the sect spontaneously go to seek revenge, angering the opponent and bringing a catastrophe to the sect.

Speaking of this, the Left Divine Envoy looked at Zhang Xuan and continued with a somewhat complicated expression, "When Lu Mou saw this passage, I was very puzzled. Although the enemy was powerful, the most fundamental inheritance technique of the sect, the Candle Yin Art, was lost outside. If it is not retrieved, wouldn't it harm the hands of outsiders? The Left and Right Divine Envoys and the two Law Kings, Jin and Bai, at that time were all amazingly talented people, how could they not see this point?

"Later, Lu Mou searched through various records and finally discovered from a late-year note of the Left Divine Envoy that when the former Master died in the Heavenly Demon Abyss, Candle Dragon had already sensed it. However, for some reason, it did not inform the Left Divine Envoy immediately.

"Decades later, the Left Divine Envoy secretly investigated the Heavenly Demon Abyss, returned injured, and reported to Candle Dragon, requesting to select a disciple with high aptitude and talent to merge with it in order to create a new Master. However, Candle Dragon did not agree. It casually said that it had long known about the former Master's death, that it was his own fault and should not be paid attention to. The Candle Yin Art was the inheritance of the sect, and outsiders would either not be able to practice it, or once they succeeded, they would have to return to the sect. Therefore, there was no need to worry, let alone make a big fuss about it and bring unnecessary disasters to the sect.

"The Left Divine Envoy did not understand what Candle Dragon was planning, but since it had given the order, he had to discuss it with the Right Divine Envoy and the two Law Kings, Jin and Bai, and jointly make a decision to hide the fact that the former Master had died in the Heavenly Demon Abyss, to calm things down, and at the same time, to find an excuse to postpone the cultivation and selection of a new Master. However, this delay lasted for hundreds of years, the Left Divine Envoy and the Golden Law King gradually parted ways with the Right Divine Envoy and the White Law King, and the sect's structure deteriorated day by day.

"Later, the Left Divine Envoy secretly persuaded Candle Dragon to forcibly elevate a Saint Core Realm Great Perfection disciple to the Transformation Realm in order to ensure that the sect always had high-level combat power. However, when selecting suitable talents, another accident occurred, which everyone knows.

"In fact, without the assistance of the Master's Candle Yin Art, Candle Dragon's direct elevation of the realm would have a success rate of less than 20%. The Left Divine Envoy was completely forcing himself, and the Right Divine Envoy and the White Law King knew this, which is why they agreed. However, they were too selfish and even wanted to sabotage this hope, which ultimately led to the failure of this matter and the sect never recovered."

Speaking up to this point, he gave a self-deprecating smile: "It is also that the sect finally had a Master, and then a Heavenly Demon Abyss cultivator appeared. Lu Mou is really worried and unconsciously said a few more words, please forgive me."

Hearing this, Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing looked at each other, both thinking that their previous guess that the Heavenly Demon Abyss had long intended to deal with the Candle God Sect under Hu Pass was indeed correct. However, they did not know what the purpose of the person in charge of the Heavenly Demon Abyss a thousand years ago, as well as the later Chu Tianxiong, was in dealing with the Candle God Sect.
