Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The group moved forward, following the flow of the water. However, the further they went, the more obvious the downward slope became, and the faster the water flowed, leaving no opportunity for sediment to settle. The mood of the group became somewhat somber.

After thirty or forty miles, the stream disappeared underground into a depression, vanishing without a trace, leaving only an endless expanse of dark cyan soil stretching before them.

Golden Dharma King was dumbfounded, "What do we do now? Are we really going to dig up this dark soil and unearth the underground river?"

Chang Guangming nodded seriously, "That is indeed a solution, we can try it!"

Golden Dharma King was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Old Chang, I, Lao Jin, didn't read much, don't try to fool me!"

Chang Guangming glared at him and said anxiously, "It's come to this, why would I fool you!"

Fire Crow Daoist's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "There's a lot of cold energy in this dark soil, it won't be easy to dig."

Golden Dharma King didn't care so much, he swung the long saber on his back and slashed at the dark cyan soil beneath his feet. With a "噗" sound, the ten-foot long saber sank more than three feet into the soil, indicating that the soil was not very dense.

Golden Dharma King twisted his wrist and pried hard, instantly turning over a square piece of soil several feet in size, revealing the darker soil below.

Just as he was about to strike again, a white shadow suddenly emerged from the soil and pounced at him.

He shook his long saber and slashed downwards. The saber on his back passed right through the white shadow, but the white shadow's movement remained unchanged, continuing to pounce at him, carrying a cold aura that made his whole body break out in goosebumps.

Just as the white shadow was about to pounce into Golden Dharma King's arms, a powerful suction force came, directly taking it away whole.

"My ancestors, what was that thing? It gave Lao Jin a fright!" Golden Dharma King took a step back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and exclaimed with lingering fear.

Fire Crow Daoist spread his hands and said unhappily, "Yin Specter Flying Corpse, besides Flying Corpses, there are naturally Yin Specters, that's a Yin Specter! I've told you before!"

Golden Dharma King chuckled dryly, "Well, I, Lao Jin, was busy digging and forgot about that thing. Can it be burned away with a fire spell?"

Fire Crow Daoist glared at him, "You can't forget that. When a Yin Specter gets on you, it's a battle of the soul. A little carelessness and your soul will be eaten, turning you into a walking corpse!"

After this episode, whether it was Golden Dharma King, Chang Guangming, or Xing Guanghan, they all became exceptionally cautious.

Especially since these Yin Specters were ambushing from the soil, and the group was digging, they were naturally on high alert, focusing most of their attention on guarding against Yin Specters.

Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing also took out their sharp magical treasures to help with the digging.

After a quarter of an hour, two more Yin Specters emerged from the soil and were instantly killed by Golden Dharma King and Xing Guanghan.

As the pit grew larger, the digging became louder, and more and more Yin Specters appeared, nearly ten in half an hour. At the same time, four Flying Corpses also arrived, and were collected from afar by Fire Crow Daoist with his Xuan Iron Gourd.

Except for Zhang Yuanjing whose cultivation was a bit lower, the remaining four were strong, and the few Yin Specter Flying Corpses were no match for them.

After several hours, the group had dug a pit about thirty feet in circumference and nearly a hundred feet deep, but still could not find the underground river.

Golden Dharma King shouted, "Old Chang, did we dig in the wrong place? Why can't we even hear a sound?"

Chang Guangming showed an embarrassed smile, "Lao Jin, this soil isolates divine sense. I only made an approximate calculation based on the river's flow and changes in terrain. It's normal to be wrong!"

Xing Guanghan said in a low voice, "Right Divine Envoy, Azure Dharma King, if we got the direction wrong, it's not a big problem. We can just dig a few more places, and we'll eventually find it. I'm just afraid that the underground river is hidden very deep, or that it's still sloping downwards, which would be difficult!"

"Then what can we do? Give up and go home?" Golden Dharma King glared and shouted loudly, "No way, this time, we must get enough Three Lives Water no matter what!"

Xing Guanghan coughed dryly and said with a smile, "Right Divine Envoy, Xing is not saying that. What Xing wants to say is, why not explore other places to see if there are any other places where we can find the underground river? Or just dig a settling pond next to the river on the ground, spend more time, wait for the Three Lives Water to settle, and then take the water back to Candle Dragon Valley."

Chang Guangming immediately shook his head, "A settling pond will definitely not work. Not to mention that we don't have the spiritual materials to isolate the Three Lives Water and prevent it from seeping away now, even if we did, we wouldn't have time to refine them. Back then, the sect spent three or four decades just refining the five Flow-Receiving Pouches, not to mention the materials."

"There is one ready-made place where we can find the underground river!" Fire Crow Daoist interjected, looking at Zhang Yuanjing, "Right, Yuanjing! Back then, when we were looking for Nether Soul Grass here, we found a green grass corresponding to the Transformation Realm. After digging it up, about ten miles around there, the dark soil collapsed, revealing the underground river below. If Fellow Daoist Xing hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered it!"

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go quickly!" Golden Dharma King patted his long saber, knocking off the mud stuck to it, already impatiently urging.

Fire Crow Daoist said in a deep voice, "That place is deep in the dark soil. There must be many Yin Specter Flying Corpses, and there may even be Demon Creatures at the Transformation Realm!"

Golden Dharma King curled his lips, "If it's so dangerous, how dare you go deep into it back then, and even get a Transformation Realm Demon Plant and return safely! What was your strength back then? How many people? Are you stronger than we are today? Even if you are, you don't have Transformation Realm combat power, do you!"

Fire Crow Daoist hesitated and said, "Well, it all depends on luck. We were lucky enough back then, so everything went smoothly. Now, well, if we're unlucky and run into a Transformation Realm Demon Creature, it would be dangerous!"

His eyes looked at Zhang Yuanjing, giving him an inquiring look.

Zhang Yuanjing understood his meaning, he must be asking if the Bountiful Earth Nurturing Cauldron would take action, so he nodded almost imperceptibly.

Golden Dharma King rolled his eyes and said, "Fire Righteous Envoy, what are you saying! Are we destined to have bad luck? I think it's more likely that there were no Transformation Realm Demon Creatures where you went! Otherwise, you would have been eaten until there wasn't even bone residue left! Let's go, let's go, if it's just these Yin Specter Flying Corpses, no matter how many come, I, Lao Jin, won't care."

Fire Crow Daoist got Zhang Yuanjing's assurance, and felt confident, so he didn't forcefully stop them, and said to Chang Guangming, "Dharma King Chang, there really are Transformation Realm Demon Creatures there, I'm definitely not making things up to scare you. If we go deep into it, the future is unpredictable."

Chang Guangming hesitated. He knew that Fire Crow Daoist would never lie about such things. Going deep into the dark soil would definitely be very risky.

The Three Lives Water in the river on the ground behind them, although the purity was lower, but the five Flow-Receiving Pouches should be enough to raise one person to the Transformation Realm.

According to the order, Golden Dharma King was in front, so he could be the first to advance to the Transformation Realm. As for him, Chang Guangming, he would naturally have to wait until next time. Golden Dharma King insisted on going on an adventure, also considering this point.

If he wanted to stop Golden Dharma King, he only needed to insist on not allowing it. However, facing the temptation of becoming a Transformation Realm cultivator, he was also in a complicated mood and found it difficult to decide.

Seeing this, Golden Dharma King urged again, "Let's go, we must get purer Three Lives Water, not only do we need to improve, the Sect Leader also needs to improve! Moreover, it's not clear whether the Three Lives Water mixed with sediment meets the requirements, and whether it will harm the inherited divine beast!"

Golden Dharma King's words immediately dispelled Chang Guangming's hesitation. He nodded and said solemnly to Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing, "Then I will have to trouble the two Envoys to take the risk together!"

Fire Crow Daoist waved his hand, "No need to be polite!"

Immediately, he led the way, following the route in his memory, flying towards the big pit.
