Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Two breaths passed, and Fire Crow Taoist's aura continued to climb, but the rate of increase had slowed down significantly. He was about to enter the Spirit Transformation breakthrough stage.

What to do?

Zhang Yuanjing thought about how Fire Crow Taoist had been both a teacher and a friend to him for more than ten years, helping him in many ways, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

The effect of the Devil Transformation Pill was still unknown, so how could he regard it as an opportunity to advance to the Core Formation stage! Perhaps it was just a high-quality soul-nourishing pill. Taking it would only double the power of his soul, but for Fire Crow Taoist at this moment, it was a matter of life and death, a matter of success or failure.

He gritted his teeth and was about to take the pill out of the wooden box, but as soon as his finger moved, another thought flashed in his mind: Fire Crow Taoist had indeed helped him a lot, but he had also brought him many opportunities, from the upgrading of his magic weapon to the breakthrough of the late and perfect Core Formation stages, and then to obtaining this opportunity, all because of him. He had also given him the Gold-Melting Pill Refining Pellet to help him forge a perfect Golden Core. Each of these was enough to repay his kindness. The Devil Transformation Pill was an opportunity that he had obtained, and he would likely need it when he advanced in the future. It might even be the key to determining success or failure. He could keep it for himself without feeling ashamed!

Another two breaths passed, and Fire Crow Taoist's aura became stable. Then, similar to Xing Guanghan, his facial features squeezed together without any warning.

He opened his mouth and let out a miserable scream, and then, beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed out and rolled down his forehead.

His face turned sallow, his lips turned purplish-black, and he trembled all over.

Then, strands of white hair fell out, and wrinkles on his face bulged like cracked tree bark. His cultivation aura also declined rapidly, quickly falling out of the perfect Core Formation stage, and continued to decline.

Zhang Yuanjing felt his heart go numb as he watched, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed. He exerted force with his fingers, and silently crushed the wooden box containing the pill.

His fingers were pierced by the wood, and fresh blood flowed. His mind was awakened, and he instantly made a decision, banishing the thought of keeping the pill from his mind.

In an instant, he felt clear-headed and calm, as if he had won a great victory after a thrilling battle. His thoughts were clear, his body and mind were comfortable, and his state of mind had been elevated to another level.

At this time, he had no time to savor this change. He immediately took out the pill from the broken wooden box, moved to Fire Crow Taoist's side, and said in a low voice, "Senior Fire Crow, I have a pill here that can enhance the soul. Please take it, it can increase the chances of a successful breakthrough!"

Fire Crow Taoist was in critical condition and had no strength to answer Zhang Yuanjing. However, when he smelled the faint fragrance emanating from the pill, his aura suddenly surged.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly placed the dark pill, the size of a longan, on Fire Crow Taoist's mouth and gently pushed it in. Fire Crow Taoist swallowed it.

However, Fire Crow Taoist was still aging rapidly, as if the Devil Transformation Pill was not working. Of course, it was also possible that he had taken the pill too late, and it was too late to take effect.

Zhang Yuanjing looked disappointed and ashamed, and muttered, "Could it be that he took it too late? Or is this medicine originally ineffective? Didn't they say this pill was extraordinary? Why doesn't it work!"

Before, he had regarded it as a treasure and was unwilling to give it to Fire Crow Taoist. Now, he hated the old Taoist in the insect nest so much that his teeth itched. He cursed in his heart, 'This old Taoist not only gave him a useless pill, but also tampered with the wooden box, triggering his inner demons at such a critical moment. It's really hateful!'

"Taoist priest, don't worry, Senior Fire Crow is still persevering, there is still hope!" Zhang Xuan said quickly to comfort him, seeing Zhang Yuanjing so anxious.

Lan Kuisong, Quan Youxuan, and others also saw that Fire Crow Taoist was at the end of his rope and in critical condition. Even if Zhang Yuanjing gave him the elixir, it would probably be too late to refine it.

Lan Kuisong had always admired Fire Crow Taoist. Even though he knew that he was just a Taoist cultivator, he still insisted on calling him "Fire Envoy." Seeing him about to fall, he could only sigh, full of regret.

However, just when everyone thought that Fire Crow Taoist would not be able to overcome this hurdle, his aging suddenly stopped. Then, his aura began to increase again, his physical functions began to recover, his white hair turned black, and his face became rosy.

After about ten breaths, his cultivation was completely restored, and his body returned to its original appearance. Then, his aura increased again, rushing towards the limit of the Core Formation stage. Before long, it reached a high point, and could no longer rise.

Fire Crow Taoist revealed a ferocious look, and his originally red face turned even more purple. He shouted loudly, using all his mana to rush towards the mysterious and profound place.

Along with this, the soul power enhanced by the Devil Transformation Pill also crashed into the Niwan Palace, covering the faint Spirit Transformation.

As if thunder was born in the void, a violent sound came from Fire Crow Taoist's Niwan Palace. What followed was the breaking of some kind of bottleneck. Fire Crow Taoist's aura suddenly soared, far exceeding the limit of the Core Formation stage, and rapidly advanced to a higher realm.

"Rumble!"

A low rumble suddenly sounded above everyone's heads. At some point, in this small cave, a cloud about ten feet in size had appeared, sticking to the top of the cave.

Lightning snakes danced in the clouds, as if they could fall at any time, scaring all the demon cultivators to shrink back, wanting to avoid this terrifying power of heavenly punishment.

"The lightning tribulation is here! Fire Envoy has already broken through the realm!" Lan Kuisong exclaimed.

"Everyone retreat, move further away!" Zhang Xuan said in a deep voice, and retreated to the side of the cave with several Holy Core realm demon cultivators.

At this time, the lightning snakes accumulated in the black cloud converged, turning into a thunderbolt as thick as a bowl, and struck Fire Crow Taoist. The sound of "噼啪" echoed along with it.

Fire Crow Taoist suppressed the ecstasy of the breakthrough, took out the Void Sky Stone that Zhang Yuanjing had given him, and threw it towards the thunderbolt.

"Boom!"

The thunderbolt hit the Void Sky Stone, and in an instant, countless rays of light burst out, flashing the eyes of all the cultivators in the cave.

Everyone immediately lost their sight, but their divine sense was still there, and they could clearly see that the black stone turned into a pure force in the electric light, like sweet rain falling on Fire Crow Taoist's body, and was quickly absorbed by him. Then, his aura exploded again, as if it was about to soar into the sky.

Lan Kuisong's eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself, "What exactly is that thing that can allow Fire Envoy's cultivation to increase so much!"

Zhang Yuanjing saw that the Void Sky Stone was quickly dissolved in the lightning, and the power of the lightning was still extremely strong. He immediately threw out another Void Sky Stone stored in his storage bracelet, crashing into the lightning.

The sound of rumbling sounded again, and this Void Sky Stone was still quickly transformed into pure power, which was absorbed into Fire Crow Taoist's body. The power of the lightning weakened a little, but it was still very strong.

At this time, Fire Crow Taoist's body glowed with a fiery red light, and a fire crow with outstretched wings rose from his body, facing the remaining power of the heavenly thunder, and collided with it.

"Rumble!"

The lightning was unstoppable, blasting the fire crow, and directly striking Fire Crow Taoist.

Fire Crow Taoist endured this blow head-on. The Taoist robe on his upper body turned into black ashes, and his body was first scorched black, scarred, and bleeding profusely.

Then, a pure force burst out from his body, covering his whole body, and quickly healed his body. No damage could be seen anymore. Instead, it became more vibrant, shimmering with glazed luster, like a jade statue.

After a few breaths, the lightning disappeared, the black clouds dispersed, and everything returned to silence.

Fire Crow Taoist stood up, took out a Taoist robe and put it on, then clasped his fists and bowed deeply in the direction of Zhang Xuan, and then bowed to Zhang Yuanjing, saying seriously, "With the help of the Sect Leader and Yuanjing, I was fortunate enough to cross the chasm and enter the Core Formation realm!"
