Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The Left God Envoy continued, "It is precisely because pure Yang energy and profound Yin energy are extremely unstable, and also the strongest forms of spiritual energy, that they are called 'fiendish energy.' If the two clash, they will produce Yin-Yang Fiendish Light. Everyone knows how powerful this is; anything below the Transformation God stage can be annihilated. Wei Congdao cleverly utilized these two energies born from heaven and earth, which is why he forcibly seized Xuan Yin Mountain from the Divine Sect.

"Now, with the Xuan Yin Royal Grass severed, the outside world believes that the Yin-Yang Fiendish Light, upon which Xuan Yin Mountain is based, will disappear, thus opening the gates wide. This is nothing but wishful thinking. As long as the grand formation set up by Wei Congdao remains unbroken, Yin-Yang Fiendish Energy will continue to be drawn from the depths of the earth, forming Yin-Yang Fiendish Light on one side, and a vast expanse of raging flame and sand around Xuan Yin Mountain, while creating an environment filled with Yin Nether energy within Xuan Yin Mountain."

"The grand formation remains. How do we defeat the enemy?"

The Left God Envoy paused for several breaths, allowing everyone to digest the vast amount of information he had presented, and then continued, "If we were to attack head-on, let alone with the Divine Sect's current strength, even when we were at our peak a thousand years ago, with five Transformation God stage True Devils, we would not have the slightest chance of victory. Of course, we can wait several hundred years, until the Sect Leader reaches the mid-stage, or even late-stage, of the Transformation God stage, and the sect has three or five more Transformation God stage True Devils. Then, we can use overwhelming force to break through Xuan Yin Mountain in one fell swoop. However, time waits for no one! The changes in the Star Moon Gate have caused anxiety in the Thousand Swords Gate. They are launching a large-scale invasion of Xuan Yin Mountain. If Xuan Yin Mountain falls into the hands of the Thousand Swords Gate, it will be difficult to take it back!"

At this point, the Left God Envoy briefly recounted the information that Zhang Yuanjing and the other five had gathered.

"The situation is very complex. These four forces of ours are interconnected, and one move affects the whole body. The True Arhat who died in the Divine Sect will certainly not be easily forgiven by Mount Loka. Moreover, their cultivation methods are specifically designed to target demonic cultivators. The more they kill, the faster their cultivation increases. If they don't come, then so be it, but if they do, they will definitely be targeting our Divine Sect and will have no interest in Xuan Yin Mountain.

"However, this does not mean that they will not ally with the Thousand Swords Gate to jointly deal with our Divine Sect.

"As for the Thousand Swords Gate, when launching a large-scale attack on Xuan Yin Mountain, they will definitely be watching the situation of our Divine Sect. Only if the Divine Sect is unable to protect itself will they dare to send troops with confidence. And for the Star Moon Gate, they certainly hope that our Divine Sect and the Thousand Swords Gate will suffer heavy losses, so they will most likely not ally with Mount Loka to actively deal with our sect.

"Of course, if we also send troops to attack the Star Moon Gate while the Thousand Swords Gate is attacking Xuan Yin Mountain, they will definitely contact Mount Loka and cooperate with them. Therefore, the future situation will be very complex and very delicate. How to determine the policy to safeguard the greatest interests of the Divine Sect? Please, everyone, speak freely and offer your suggestions!"

A long silence fell over the crowd.

In the tense atmosphere, Chang Guangming was the first to speak, breaking the deadlock: "Left God Envoy, do you think it is possible for our Divine Sect to establish cooperation with the Thousand Swords Gate?"

The Left God Envoy smiled slightly: "On the surface, it is possible, but in reality, it is impossible. The Thousand Swords Gate wants the large spiritual cave, and we want the Three Lives Water. There is indeed no conflict. If we cooperate, breaking through Xuan Yin Mountain is only a matter of time.

"However, the crux of the matter is that the passage to the Nine Yin Abyss passes by the side of the spiritual vein. Do you think the Thousand Swords Gate can rest assured? Moreover, the Thousand Swords Gate wants to transform the large spiritual cave of Xuan Yin Mountain, using it as a tonic to upgrade their own large spiritual cave into a super spiritual cave, thereby nurturing cultivators at the Transformation God level. How dangerous is this to the Divine Sect! How can the Divine Sect tolerate it!"

Chang Guangming said with embarrassment: "What the Left God Envoy said is very true. Guangming was thinking too simply!"

Lan Kuisong scratched his head and said with some annoyance, "Sect Leader, it seems that we can only let the Thousand Swords Gate and the Star Moon Gate fight to the point of mutual destruction, and then we can reap the benefits! I just don't know what the strength of Mount Loka is, and how many people will come to invade our Divine Sect. If there are many strong opponents, we may not be able to protect ourselves, and instead let the Thousand Swords Gate take the lead."

Zhang Xuan said calmly, "Only if our Divine Sect is unable to protect itself will the Thousand Swords Gate launch a large-scale invasion of Xuan Yin Mountain. God Envoy Lan's idea is correct. Our Divine Sect cannot be the first to charge in, smashing our heads against the Xuan Yin Mountain's protective grand formation and benefiting the Thousand Swords Gate. On the contrary, we must find a way to use the Thousand Swords Gate to charge into battle for the Divine Sect and pave the way for the Divine Sect. Everyone, please continue to offer your suggestions!"

The crowd fell into a long silence again. The opinions of Lan Kuisong and Chang Guangming had, in fact, covered all the methods that could be thought of at present. Given the current strength of the Candle Divine Sect and the environment it faced, there was really no better way.

After a dozen breaths, Quan Youxuan asked somewhat cautiously, "Sect Leader, if we want the Thousand Swords Gate to believe that our Divine Sect is unable to protect itself, should we put Bai Tianming and the Southern Three Altars on hold for now, to confuse the Thousand Swords Gate and Mount Loka? Moreover, should the Sect Leader and the Right God Envoy and the Azure Dharma King's advancement to the Transformation God stage be kept secret for now? When the people from Mount Loka arrive, we can catch them off guard!"

Zhang Xuan nodded approvingly: "Hall Master Quan's suggestion is excellent. As for Bai Tianming and the Southern Three Altars, we will infiltrate them internally with spies and externally display our power with a large army, but we will not attack for now, just to show outsiders. Of course, we must keep an eye on Bai Tianming to prevent him from taking crazy actions and harming the low-level members of the Southern Three Altars. Dharma King Chang, I will leave this matter to you. You secretly infiltrate the Demon God Mountain and watch over him. If his actions are abnormal, kill him directly."

Chang Guangming quickly stood up and agreed.

"What about Xianyu? What are your thoughts?" Zhang Xuan took the initiative to ask, calling out the name of Lan Xianyu, who had been listening quietly.

Lan Xianyu stood up and saluted, speaking in a rough voice like her brother's: "This subordinate has no good ideas. In my humble opinion, this matter can only be handled one step at a time. Hall Master Quan was right just now. In the end, we must first show weakness to the enemy and lure them out first, and then formulate countermeasures based on the development of the situation. For example, if the enemy from Mount Loka is very strong, our Divine Sect may have to go all out from the beginning. Then, the matter of Xuan Yin Mountain will have to be put aside, hoping that the opponent makes mistakes.

"If the enemy from Mount Loka is not strong, we can first hide some of our strength and form a protracted war with the enemy. In this way, the Thousand Swords Gate will be able to confidently send out all their forces to attack Xuan Yin Mountain fiercely. The Star Moon Gate will also definitely go all out. When the situation changes and one side weakens, we will send out our main force, quickly kill or repel the enemy, and then attack Xuan Yin Mountain, striving to take it down in one fell swoop."

Zhang Xuan gestured for her to sit down, and said with a smile, "Xianyu has considered everything very carefully and spoken very well. I think the plan to deal with the enemy can be formulated according to this. What do you think, Left God Envoy?"

The Left God Envoy stood up and replied, "Hall Master Lan's consideration is thorough and prudent. This subordinate will formulate a strategy to deal with the enemy as soon as possible!"

Zhang Xuan waved her hand: "There is no hurry for this matter. If the two Divine Grace Envoys have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to share your valuable insights and assist the Divine Sect!"

Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing both shook their heads, indicating that they had no better countermeasures.

Zhang Xuan stood up tall, her spotless white dress moving slightly without wind.

She looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "It will take Mount Loka several years to understand the situation around Xuan Yin Mountain before they take action to attack our Divine Sect. Before that, we must work together to do one thing. If this thing is successful, then the Divine Sect will be in an invincible position."

The Left God Envoy asked with pleasant surprise, "Does the Sect Leader already have a good plan to deal with the enemy?"

Lan Kuisong, Chang Guangming, Quan Youxuan, and Lan Xianyu also showed joy. Only Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing were somewhat confused, not knowing where the plan would come from.

Zhang Xuan's thin body seemed to suddenly be filled with inexplicable power. Standing there, she was like a giant. Everyone felt this pressure and unconsciously stood up, looking at her with awe.

She smiled slightly and said in a firm and powerful tone, "When the Left God Envoy introduced the Nine Yin Abyss just now, he only mentioned the passage going down through Xuan Yin Mountain, and did not mention the passage in the Black Water Pool of the Hidden Soldiers Cave. Of course, this is because the road there is full of danger and almost impassable.

"Back then, after losing Xuan Yin Mountain, the Divine Sect immediately lost its largest source of Three Lives Water, so it was determined to dig out a passage leading to the Nine Yin Abyss under the Candle Dragon Hall. After thousands of years of effort, we finally dug a passage leading to the Nine Yin Abyss more than five thousand feet deep underground from the abyss below the Black Water Pool.

"However, near the Nine Yin Abyss, due to the terrain, the Yin-Yang Fiendish Energy generated by the impact of the Three Lives Water and the spiritual veins under Xuan Yin Mountain actually flowed to this side as well, and formed two condensed areas.

"One is the Yin Fiendish area, and the other is the Yang Fiendish area, which firmly blocked the road to the Nine Yin Abyss. Cultivators below the Transformation God stage and demonic cultivators below the Soul Fusion stage cannot pass through at all.

"Thus, this plan to open another passage failed. However, now, this Sect Leader has a solution, a way to completely eliminate the Yin Fiendish and Yang Fiendish areas!"

As soon as these words came out, the Left God Envoy and others immediately became excited, each showing a happy expression. If they could go down to the Nine Yin Abyss from under the Candle Yin Valley and obtain a continuous supply of Three Lives Water, it would mean that all the demonic cultivators present had hope of advancing to the Transformation God stage. It would also mean that in the struggle for Xuan Yin Mountain, they could completely sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, easily seizing the final victory.

Zhang Xuan waited for everyone to calm down before saying in a deep voice, "This method was obtained from Lord Candle Dragon and requires two conditions: First, a large amount of Three Lives Water. This requires the Right God Envoy to go to You Earth Mountain again and bring back another five million catties of Three Lives Water.

"Second, we need to carefully select one hundred and forty-four Foundation Establishment stage and sixteen Saint Core stage members of the sect, with me and the Right God Envoy as the core of the formation, to form two Nine-Nine Heavenly Extinction Linked Formations to divide and destroy the Yin-Yang Fiendish Energy. Please ask the Left God Envoy to select personnel as soon as possible and preside over the training. I will teach you the method of arranging the formation later."
