Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The five traveled north, leaving Huguan and following the outer edge of the Dragon Vein, speeding along the border of the vast desert.

The Barren Death Zone was a long and narrow strip running northeast to southwest. Candle Shadow Valley was located slightly north of its central section. Leaving the valley and heading directly southeast for hundreds of thousands of miles would lead to the Blazing Sands, and then approach Xuan Yin Mountain.

Therefore, they had to travel nearly two million miles north before heading southwest to reach the Thunder Hell Mountains, which covered nearly three million miles. Most areas there were plagued by frequent heavenly lightning, making the journey perilous, with few demons, let alone cultivators.

Forty days later, they finally arrived at the Gobi Desert bordering the Northern Three Altars and the Thunder Hell Mountains.

Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Daoist looked into the distance and saw, hundreds of miles away on the edge of the Gobi, thousands of peaks like halberds, ten thousand cliffs like opened screens, mountains stretching endlessly, ridges rising and falling, majestic and boundless, a myriad of sights.

Truly, mountains connected to mountains, mountains nested within mountains, like dragons and snakes entwined, winding endlessly, disappearing into the horizon.

At the end of the clouds, the high mountains were extremely steep, hundreds of majestic peaks connected to the blue sky, piercing through the azure heavens, truly deserving the description: "Only heaven is above, no mountain can compare."

"What a natural barrier, not to mention cultivators, even avian demons would find it difficult to cross!" Fire Crow Daoist exclaimed sincerely.

"Two Envoys, this is just a distant view. Once you enter the mountains, the perilousness of the terrain, the density of the forests, and the harshness of the climate are far beyond those of ordinary mountains and forests. Finding a passable road through it is extremely difficult!" Xing Guanghan said with a smile.

Compared to when they last met, his face was much older, obviously these years in Candle Shadow Valley had been quite difficult. However, his cultivation had advanced to the Great Perfection stage.

As one of the two great experts of Red Blood Valley, Xing Guanghan had always been high above, with great authority, but now, in front of Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing, he could curry favor, and quite naturally so, truly a remarkable person.

Originally, he did not think much of these two, but now, not only had they transformed into Divine Grace Envoys of the Candle God Sect, but their cultivation levels had also greatly surprised him.

Fire Crow Daoist had broken through two realms in just a century, from the mid-Core Formation stage to the Great Perfection stage, while the unremarkable Zhang Yuanjing had also broken through from the early-Core Formation stage to the late stage. This speed of cultivation was astonishing. If it were just one person, it could be attributed to luck, but if both of them were like this, it could not be simply attributed to deep blessings, but rather to some other reason.

He had some guesses in his mind, and several thoughts emerged. However, on the surface, he remained calm and spoke to the four with flattery.

The five exchanged a few words. Golden Dharma King and Chang Guangming, because of their high cultivation and the pure and vast turbid Qi within their bodies, to avoid abnormal fluctuations in spiritual energy within the Thunder Hell Mountains and accidentally triggering a riot of heaven and earth spiritual energy, wore clothes, hats, boots, and gloves that isolated spiritual energy erosion. Once ready, they set off towards the Thunder Hell Mountains under the guidance of Xing Guanghan.

Before long, the five flew into the mountains and immediately felt a refreshing coolness blowing towards them, and the surrounding temperature was significantly lower.

While Xing Guanghan led the way, he explained in detail: "This Thunder Hell Mountains, from the outside, looks peaceful. But once you enter the mountains, the mountains and mountains, forests and forests, valleys and valleys, cliffs and cliffs, may have completely different small climates. When I first entered the Core Formation stage, I had to hide in these Thunder Hell Mountains because I was being chased by an enemy. I spent nearly ten years in it, experiencing countless dangers, and finally figured out some rules, thereby finding a safe road that can be passed."

"Oh, there are rules, can you tell me about them, Old Jin?" Golden Dharma King asked with interest, his eyes widened.

"Haha, I can tell you, of course I can tell you. How can I not tell you when Right Divine Envoy asks," Xing Guanghan said, putting on a flattered look, nodding repeatedly.

Then, he explained in detail his understanding of the climate change rules of the Thunder Hell Mountains, from the clouds on the mountain peaks, the direction of the mountains, the landforms between the mountains, the types of soil, the species of vegetation, the water quality of the streams, the distribution of wild animals and demons, and so on.

Golden Dharma King lost interest after listening to the beginning, frowning and looking around, looking extremely bored. However, Chang Guangming was very interested, listening very carefully, and occasionally asking a few questions.

Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing also listened quite carefully, thinking in their hearts that this Xing Guanghan was truly remarkable, indeed a stunningly talented person.

The five traveled through forests and valleys, climbed cliffs and drilled through caves. Wherever they went, towering peaks, dangerous and precipitous cliffs, jade-like streams, flowing waterfalls, tall pines and ancient cypresses, deep forests and secluded birds, beautiful flowers and rare herbs were everywhere, too numerous to appreciate.

Sometimes they walked in the clouds and mist, everywhere was a vast expanse of white, many distant peaks and nearby ridges only revealing their tips, like small islands looming in the stormy waves.

Sometimes they shuttled under high cliffs, the grotesque rocks above them, surrounded by long vines, and countless years of accumulated dead branches and fallen leaves falling in the wind, making those giant rocks seem as if they were about to fall.

Sometimes they traveled quickly against the wind and rain, the sky was dark and the earth was dim, and they could not see the road ahead.

Sometimes they detoured around thunder and fire, thunderbolts rang in their ears, lightning snaked around them, heaven and hell were only a few steps away, and a slight mistake would shatter their bones.

The deeper they went into the mountains, the denser the lightning became. Sometimes, just one mountain away, lightning rained down, electricity poured like water, rushing in with the momentum to destroy everything, and then quietly disappeared.

Zhang Yuanjing and the others, knowing that this kind of power of heaven and earth was still far from them, were also trembling all over, their faces pale, and a deep fear arose in their hearts.

Due to the dangerous environment, they did not encounter any demons along the way. It was not until they passed through the central area of the Thunder Hell Mountains and reached the southern foot of the mountains that they would occasionally see one or two birds.

These birds were only in the Spiritual Enlightenment realm, and after glancing at the five of them from afar, they turned and left. At first, they did not pay attention, but after similar situations occurred several times in a row, it finally attracted Xing Guanghan's attention.

"Two Divine Grace Envoys, Right Divine Envoy, Azure Dharma King, we may be being targeted by a group of avian demons!"

"A group of avian demons?" Golden Dharma King asked, staring, "Those birds are not of the same species, how can it be a group of avian demons?"

Xing Guanghan's voice was not loud, but he said very certainly: "In these mountains, lightning is scattered and thunder rumbles, so there are usually very few demons, especially avian demons. However, in the past two days, avian demons have appeared several times, I'm afraid it is not a coincidence, but rather intentional!"

Golden Dharma King wanted to ask further, but Chang Guangming quickly interrupted and said, "Elder Xing, in your opinion, how should we respond?"

"Use our escape techniques and quickly leave the mountains!"

The others had no objection, and decisively used their flying sword artifacts to skim at low altitude. Their movement really tested the situation. Before long, hundreds of black eagles, monkey eagles, snake vultures, and other avian demons surrounded them from the east, west, and south. Most of these birds were in the Spiritual Enlightenment realm, but there were also a dozen in the Demon Core realm.

Although they were not afraid, they were worried that more birds were rushing over, so they did not dare to linger. The five formed a small battle formation, forcibly broke through the thirty or so birds blocking them from the south, quickly broke out of the encirclement, and went south.

Those birds chased all the way, and along the way, no less than two or three hundred avian demons joined in, and the momentum was very large. Fortunately, they saw the situation early and sped all the way, and did not encounter strong resistance, and successfully flew out of the Thunder Hell Mountains to a boundless wilderness.

Those birds only chased to the edge of the mountains and returned without success. The five, apart from excessive consumption of mana and some exhaustion, were safe and sound.

After resting for several days, the five took a low-level Wind Riding Carriage and headed south. After another ten days, they finally arrived at the northern foot of You Tu Mountain.
