Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zuo Dacheng was the only Nascent Soul cultivator in Tiannan Immortal City. He came from the Zhenyang Sect, one of the top ten sects in the Southern Domain. This sect was established in the northeastern part of the Southern Domain, very close to the Hengduan Mountains, and not far from Tiannan City.

Because Tiannan City was located two million miles north of Chaotian Gate, if there was a crisis, the Nascent Soul cultivators from Chaotian Gate could quickly provide support, so there was always only one Nascent Soul cultivator stationed there.

Zuo Dacheng led the Fire Crow Taoist directly into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, where the two sat down as host and guest. The others followed, but did not enter the hall, waiting outside.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan has come here to represent the Xuantian Sect in guarding the Second Demon Suppression City?" Zuo Dacheng said with a smile, speaking slowly and gently, appearing quite amiable. "This is truly exciting news! For nearly a thousand years, your sect has not sent a Nascent Soul cultivator here. The Thunder Gathering Arrays of several Demon Suppression Cities have not been repaired for years, and everyone is uneasy, worried that one day the formation will fail and the demon race will invade. Hahaha!"

The Fire Crow Taoist sensed a hint of jest in his words, guessing that this person, or the sect he belonged to, might not be friendly with the Xuantian Sect. However, in front of a Nascent Soul True Lord, he couldn't transmit a message to Zhang Yuanjing to ask. Moreover, Zhang Yuanjing had not taken the initiative to transmit information, indicating that he might not know the inside story either.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo is too kind. The Dao of Thunder is profound and vast, and all major sects have studied it throughout history. There is no shortage of people who are proficient in Thunder Arrays. Especially in the Central and Eastern Domains, the Daoist arts have a long history, with many schools and talents emerging. It is not difficult to find a few people who understand the Dao of Thunder Arrays," the Fire Crow Taoist said casually. "This poor Taoist has indeed come here to fulfill his duty for the sect, guarding the Second Demon Suppression City. In the future, I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Zuo to lend a helping hand!"

Zuo Dacheng quickly agreed with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say. Since we are here, we are all one body and should naturally help each other." He paused slightly, then suddenly changed the subject, "Fellow Daoist said that you recently joined the Xuantian Sect. Where did you cultivate before?"

The Fire Crow Taoist's mind raced, trying to guess his intentions, but he said calmly, "This poor Taoist has always cultivated in the southwest of the desolate death zone. There used to be a large sect there called the Star Moon Sect. I wonder if Fellow Daoist knows of it?"

"Oh, the Star Moon Sect of Xuan Yin Mountain, I have heard of it. Hehe, the Yin Yang Evil Light can destroy anything below the Transformation God stage!" Zuo Dacheng smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "That area doesn't seem to have any large spiritual veins. It's truly extraordinary that you have reached the Nascent Soul stage. I wonder why you joined the Xuantian Sect? Your place of cultivation is also very far from the Xuantian Sect, isn't it!"

The Fire Crow Taoist looked up and laughed: "Purely a matter of chance, a matter of chance!" Then he changed the subject and asked, "When Yuan arrived in the city, I heard that the situation has been unstable recently, and the demon race often harasses the city and roads. What is the situation?"

Zuo Dacheng said with a smile that was not a smile, "This is a common occurrence, Fellow Daoist need not worry. Since you represent the Xuantian Sect in guarding the Second Demon Suppression City, you will often have to fight against the transformed great demons of the demon race. The so-called harassment of roads and cities is just a minor problem!"

The Fire Crow Taoist's face suddenly became serious: "Often fighting against transformed great demons? In that case, guarding this Demon Suppression City is not easy!"

Zuo Dacheng chuckled: "Of course. What is the Hengduan Mountains? The demon race's base camp! There are no less than eighty, if not a hundred, transformed great demons. Although they are scattered in the mountains of billions of miles, once a well-known old demon king summons them, gathering a dozen or twenty is not a problem. Coupled with the demon beasts below the Demon Core stage, it's like a tide, with no end in sight. Often, a great battle is fought until the sky turns dark, and in the end, I don't know how many cultivators will die. Of course, the demon race dies even more. Hehe, Fellow Daoist Yuan, this is not an easy task. In recent years, there have been Nascent Soul cultivators who have fallen in the seven cities!"

The Fire Crow Taoist was silent for a few breaths before saying faintly, "I didn't expect the Hengduan Mountains to be so dangerous."

The two Nascent Soul True Lords were talking in the hall, and the door was not closed, nor were there any isolation measures, so everyone outside the hall heard the conversation clearly, and their reactions were naturally different.

Qu Yizhong's eyes flashed with disdain, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer, but he didn't know who it was directed at. Zhang Yuanjing's face was calm, as if he didn't care at all. Yuan Zhilin behind him showed a playful smile, wanting to laugh several times, but was stopped by Liu Jinglong's stern gaze.

As for the several Core Formation cultivators on the City Lord's Mansion side, most of them had tense faces, and their eyes were also shifting erratically.

Just as everyone was listening to the two True Lords in the hall talking about various things, a Core Formation cultivator hurried out from the side hall and stopped outside the main hall, reporting inside: "Reporting to the City Lord, the Third City has sent a Demon Suppression Order!"

The voices of the two people in the hall stopped immediately.

"Bring it in!" Zuo Dacheng said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The Core Formation cultivator took out a jade slip, held it with both hands, and walked quickly into the hall.

Zuo Dacheng reached out and grabbed it, stuck it to his forehead, and after a breath, handed the jade slip to the Fire Crow Taoist, his expression somewhat strange, and said: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, it's actually for you."

On the way here, the Fire Crow Taoist had heard Zhang Yuanjing introduce that the five Demon Suppression Cities, plus the Zhenyuan and Tiannan cities in the north and south, had specially established the Seven Cities Alliance to unite their strength and fight against the demon race. They established an Executive Hall to discuss the major affairs of the seven cities, with Nascent Soul cultivators from the major sects in the Central and Southern Domains as executives, and the one with the strongest cultivation and most respected status as the chief executive. The orders issued by the Executive Hall were of three types: Demon Suppression Order, Demon Slaying Order, and Demon Killing Order, among which the Demon Suppression Order was specially issued to Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Fire Crow Taoist took the jade slip and looked at it. It was a rather sternly worded order: "This order: True Lord Lishan of the Xuantian Sect is to escort the Tiannan Immortal City's inter-domain flying boat to the First City, and wait for subsequent instructions in the First City. Act immediately upon seeing the order, do not delay!"

He pondered for a moment, looked at Zuo Dacheng with a strange expression, and was about to speak, but Zuo Dacheng spoke first: "Alas, when I saw Fellow Daoist entering the city, I reported it to the Executive Hall of the Seven Cities Alliance as usual. Who would have thought that the Executive Hall would be so anxious that they would issue a Demon Suppression Order without even meeting Fellow Daoist. It's really a bit unbelievable! It's my fault for being a little impatient. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Yuan."

The Fire Crow Taoist smiled and said, "How can I blame Fellow Daoist Zuo for this? Fellow Daoist Zuo is just acting according to the rules, what fault is there! In my opinion, although the Executive Hall issued this order with a less than friendly tone, it is not unreasonable.

"Yuan is accompanied by many people on this trip, and we are going to take the Immortal City flying boat to the Second City anyway. In that case, escorting the flying boat and opening up the road is just a matter of convenience, not an extra burden.

"Please reply to the Executive Hall on my behalf, Fellow Daoist Zuo, and say that Yuan will respectfully obey the order. As soon as the Immortal City has prepared the flying boat, I will immediately escort it on its way and will not dare to delay in the slightest!"
