Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The group walked in silence, heading straight for the place where the Foundation Establishment cultivators were settled. After meeting up, they traveled east, quickly rushing towards the lake area.

Along the way, True Lord Lishan’s red face was tense, and he didn't say a word. Zhang Yuanjing and Qu Chongyi also looked solemn. The Core Formation cultivators were uneasy, not daring to speak, and the atmosphere was very tense.

As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Even Yuan Zhilin, who was usually carefree, wisely hid to the side, not daring to provoke his master's anger.

After traveling silently like this for two days, they finally arrived at the edge of a misty swamp.

The group stood on a mountain ridge and looked into the distance. All that could be seen was a vast expanse of white, making it impossible to tell how wide the swamp was.

“Re, reporting to the True Lord, this place is Jade Dragon Swamp, spanning tens of thousands of miles. To the east of this swamp, there are several large lakes, stretching for nearly a hundred thousand miles. Going north, there are also numerous water bodies, arranged for a distance of sixty to seventy thousand miles,” Lin Yu said cautiously.

Fire Crow Daoist stood with his hands behind his back, looking east, as if he hadn't heard.

After a long while, he suddenly asked, “In this lake and swamp area, there aren’t any more spiritual objects to be collected, right?”

Lin Yu trembled all over and stammered, “Tru, True Lord, please forgive me. Lin, Lin was reckless, reckless, causing trouble for the True Lord. Lin promises that there will never be a next time. This, this lake and swamp, is just an ordinary place.”

“Reckless?” Fire Crow Daoist sneered, “Your actions are interlocked, your thinking is meticulous, and your actions are bold, which has nothing to do with the word reckless. Tell me, why did you insist on entering Demon Serpent Mountain to pick spiritual fruits!”

A look of hesitation flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and he said in a low voice, “True Lord, please forgive me. Lin’s lifespan is about to end. If I can’t reach the Perfected state, there is no chance in this life to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. Lin is always anxious and racking my brains to find spiritual objects that can quickly improve my cultivation. I knew about the Red Ling Fruits in Demon Serpent Mountain several years ago, but I was afraid of the transformed demon there, so I never dared to enter the mountain. This time, I was fortunate to have the True Lord accompanying me, so I, so I made my own plans.”

He paused and raised his voice, “This time, with the True Lord’s protection, I have obtained several Profound Grade Fourth-Order Red Ling Fruits. Lin will definitely be able to use these to advance to the Core Formation Perfected state. This is the grace of extending my path and continuing my life. Lin will definitely do my best to repay the True Lord’s kindness!”

Fire Crow Daoist stared at him and asked again, “Why did you insist on entering Demon Serpent Mountain to pick spiritual fruits? What is the real reason?”

Lin Yu's expression froze. After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, “Lin is a little confused by the True Lord’s question. Could you please give me some guidance?”

Fire Crow Daoist smiled and said, “It seems that if I don’t reveal something, you will continue to pretend to be stupid! With your cultivation, ordinary Red Ling Fruits are probably not very effective, and only Profound Grade Fourth-Order and above will work. How many Profound Grade Fourth-Order Red Ling Fruits did you pick this time you entered the mountain?”

Lin Yu swallowed and replied, “Four.”

“Four?” Fire Crow Daoist turned to look at Lu Xiangkun, “Daoist Lu, how many?”

Lu Xiangkun cupped his hands and said, “Lu obtained nine.”

Before Fire Crow Daoist could ask, Xun Fang took the initiative to say, “Xun obtained slightly fewer, eight.”

Fire Crow Daoist stared at Lin Yu and asked again, “How many?”

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment and said, “Ni, nine.”

Fire Crow Daoist nodded, “Nine is fine. In a mountain with a radius of hundreds of miles, you actually picked dozens of Profound Grade Fourth-Order spiritual fruits. This is really unbelievable. Daoist Lin, how did you know that there were so many Profound Grade Fourth-Order Red Ling Fruits in the mountain?”

Lin Yu's expression tightened, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he was stunned on the spot, not speaking for a long time.

Fire Crow Daoist didn't urge him, just looked at him coldly. Qu Yizhong, Lu Xiangkun, Xun Fang, and Yao Zhanyi all showed thoughtful expressions. The ten or so Foundation Establishment cultivators, probably feeling that they could hear a major secret, all showed excited expressions, especially Yuan Zhilin.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yu finally made up his mind and said, “The True Lord will know about this matter when you arrive at the Second Demon Suppression City. Lin will tell the True Lord a little rumor I heard from the sect.”

As he said this, he raised his eyes and looked at the Foundation Establishment cultivators standing a little further away.

Fire Crow Daoist waved his hand and released a light red罩, isolating the Foundation Establishment cultivators. The Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately showed disappointed expressions, but no one dared to say anything. Yuan Zhilin rolled his eyes and muttered “boring” before sitting down on the spot.

“A few years ago, because my cultivation was stagnating, I was very distressed, so I sought advice from an old ancestor in the sect. The old ancestor saw that I was not easy, and also pitied my firm ambition to seek the Dao, so he told me one thing.

“He said that in recent years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seems to have increased. As a result, the grade of spiritual objects in some deep mountains and rivers may be improved. This situation has also occurred in the past, usually in the Hengduan Mountains, because this place is the intersection of the north-south spiritual veins, where spiritual energy is most easily gathered, and it is easy to benefit from changes in the environment of heaven and earth.

“Therefore, the old ancestor suggested that I come to the Hengduan Mountains to find opportunities, and I must act quickly. Only a few spiritual objects are improved, and there is only one batch. Once they are picked, they are gone!”

Fire Crow Daoist pondered for a moment and asked, “How did your sect's old ancestor know that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has greatly increased? If it is just a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, it does not seem to be able to sensitively capture this change!”

Lin Yu shook his head, “The old ancestor of my sect is a Nascent Soul middle-stage True Lord. Lin does not know how he knew.”

Fire Crow Daoist's gaze shifted and fell on Lu Xiangkun.

This Core Formation late-stage cultivator from the Southern Domain's Ten Great Sects met Fire Crow Daoist's gaze and shook his head very simply.

Afterwards, Fire Crow Daoist looked at Yao Zhanyi and Xun Fang separately, and both of them didn't know either.

Finally, it was Qu Chongyi. He frowned, his eyes filled with doubt and surprise, but he didn't speak, just shook his head in denial.

Secretly, he transmitted a voice to Fire Crow Daoist, “Reporting to the True Lord, Qu was arranged to go north to the Hengduan Mountains to participate in guarding the city, but I was not very willing. The True Lord in the sect talked to me, saying that my Embrace Moon Valley has always been focused on killing and伐, there is a lot of killing and伐 in the South Sea, and there is also a lot of killing and伐 in the Hengduan Mountains. Going there will not affect my cultivation. He also specifically reminded me that there are many spiritual objects in the Hengduan Mountains, which can be an opportunity for me to advance. Thinking about it now, this statement seems ordinary, but also seems to have a deep meaning. I don’t know if the seniors in the sect know about the changes in the Hengduan Mountains.”

After listening to Lin Yu's words, Zhang Yuanjing suddenly recalled the words Zhulong's primordial spirit said when it escaped—"This king's departure is also considered to reduce the pressure on this world. I'm afraid it won't be long before this world can produce a Transformation God cultivator again." He thought that the increase in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was due to Zhulong's departure?

If this is the case, in the eyes of this world, Zhulong is equivalent to a Transformation God cultivator, and the Demon Scorpion that came out of the Demon Insect Land before must also be a Transformation God-level existence, but I don’t know where it is hidden.

Fire Crow Daoist pondered for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled, “It's easy to confirm this statement. Just find another place where spiritual objects are hidden and take a look. Which of you knows of a place that produces high-grade Profound Grade spiritual objects?”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yu, Lu Xiangkun, Xun Fang, and Yao Zhanyi showed strange expressions, but they all remained silent.
