Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After Wu Yuankui and Zhang Yuanjing left, the group from Tianmo Abyss waited a full two hours before continuing their journey deeper into the Void Demon Space. A little over an hour later, they successfully reached the Edge Realm. Following the Edge Realm, the group of nine searched for nearly two more hours before finally discovering an opening where black and white energies intertwined.

After some probing, and the loss of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, they found a viable method. Unlike Wen Songnan, Lingxiao hadn't prepared several mid-grade, high-quality Vajra Talismans. He had to take a risk, using the Frost Piercer Pearl himself and employing the "Space Rift" technique to weaken the black and white energies. Then, the Core Formation cultivators, shielded by mid-grade, low-quality Vajra Talismans, seized the opportunity to break through the squeezing force of creation. In this way, the five surviving Core Formation cultivators safely passed through the opening. As for the three Nascent Soul True Lords, they naturally had powerful magic to protect them, making a forceful breakthrough a simple matter.

Lingxiao, leading the excited group, passed through the white spiritual energy. Not long after Wu Yuankui, Zhang Yuanjing, and Wen Songnan, they finally entered the mustard seed space. However, the place where they stood was not the Green Peak Summit where Wu Yuankui and Zhang Yuanjing were, nor the canyon where Wen Songnan was, but before a magnificent palace with a plaque above the door bearing three golden characters: "Profound Earth Hall."

"Profound Earth Hall!" Lingxiao looked at the palace before him and couldn't help but smile. The gloom of the past few days vanished at that moment. All the sacrifices, all the risks, were worth it.

In the Profound Earth Sect's mustard seed space, a magnificent building named after Profound Earth must be the most central location.

"Mountain Lord's fortune rivals the heavens!" Sun Zelin reacted quickly, immediately stepping forward to congratulate him. "This must be the most important place in the mustard seed space. We've arrived here first, seizing the advantage, and will surely return with a full load!"

Lingxiao laughed heartily. Although he had suffered severe injuries and his cultivation had fallen, he still possessed mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation. He was confident that as long as he entered the mustard seed space, everything would be under his control, and he didn't care about seizing the advantage. However, being able to directly reach the most central location, saving the effort of searching, always indicated that his luck was excellent, which was a very good sign.

The other Core Formation cultivators also offered congratulations, their faces filled with relaxed smiles.

"Enough, everyone has come here after experiencing great hardships. It's no exaggeration to say we've survived a disaster. Later, when we enter the hall, let loose and take whatever you fancy. First come, first served!" Lingxiao was in high spirits, waving his hand and promising benefits to everyone, immediately eliciting cheers.

The Profound Earth Hall was built against the mountain, extending for several miles. The main gate at the front was three zhang high, and the hall was about thirty zhang wide and seven courtyards deep, majestic and exuding the aura of a great sect.

The group swept the area with their spiritual senses and found that there were no formations or restrictions at the hall's entrance.

"It seems that this first hall is a place for ordinary reception and handling of affairs, and there are no valuable items stored here," Hu Chou said, taking the lead and reaching out to push the door.

"Junior Brother Hu, that's not necessarily the case. Be careful there's something strange about the door," Xuan Yi said with a strange smile.

"Strange?" Hu Chou looked back at her, seeing the smile on her lips, as if she was joking. He couldn't help but say unhappily, "Senior Sister Xuan, don't scare me in this kind of place!"

Lingxiao was also a little strange. His spiritual sense swept over the door, and there were no spiritual fluctuations at all. It was just an ordinary carved red wooden door. What could be strange about it?

"Then try pushing it!" Xuan Yi put away her smile and said seriously.

"Push it, then! It's just a broken door!"

Hu Chou was rough on the outside but meticulous on the inside. He had already used his spiritual sense to plow the door and the surrounding buildings within a few zhang back and forth several times, and he hadn't found anything unusual at all. How could he take Xuan Yi's joke to heart? He went straight forward, put his hand on the wooden door, and was about to push it forward when he heard a soft "poof" sound. The wooden door scattered like dust, turning into a sky full of red mist, instantly enveloping Hu Chou. Caught off guard, Hu Chou inhaled a few mouthfuls of the red mist, coughed violently, and then used his magic to protect himself, adjusted his breathing, and quickly retreated to the open area in front of the hall.

At this time, as the wooden door weathered away, the air in the hall convected, and a slight "poof, poof" sound continued to come from inside, followed by a thick, colorful powder gushing out from it.

The crowd quickly retreated, leaving a distance of more than ten zhang.

Looking at Hu Chou again, his hair, eyebrows, beard, face, body, and arms were all covered with a thin layer of red powder, making him look very strange and embarrassed.

"Hahaha!" Xuan Yi burst into laughter, exaggeratingly covering her stomach and gasping for breath. "The dignified True Lord Hu got his face covered by a small wooden door. It's really killing me with laughter! Hahaha..."

Hu Chou was both ashamed and annoyed, glared at Xuan Yi, and quickly cast a spell to clean up the dust.

"Alright, let's go in and take a look," Lingxiao said with a faint smile, taking the lead and walking into the hall.

This was the front hall of the main hall, built of huge blue stone blocks, about ten zhang long and six or seven zhang wide. The hall was empty, with no furnishings, only a thick layer of dust on the ground. On both sides of the hall, there were doorways about one zhang high, and the doors had long since weathered into ashes.

"Although there are no formations here, the spiritual energy in the mustard seed space is not weak after all. The furnishings here have all decayed into ashes, so they must be ordinary items. Why did the Nameless Sect, which opened up such a large space, hide ordinary things in it? Did they want to take refuge in it?" Lingxiao said in confusion, but his eyes looked at Sun Zelin.

Sun Zelin quickly bowed and replied, "Reporting to the Mountain Lord, there is no record of this in my Sun family's books. But I heard my ancestor say that mustard seed spaces can indeed hide people, but they cannot be cultivated in."

"Does your Water Sect's mustard seed space have such arrangements?" Lingxiao thought for a moment and asked again.

Sun Zelin hesitated and said, "This junior doesn't know. My ancestor never told me about the Water Sect's mustard seed space."

"The Water Sect's mustard seed space also has a Longshui Hall, and the layout seems to be similar to this, but I'm not sure if there are ordinary items," Xuan Yi said, her tone not very certain. "My master participated in the exploration of the Water Sect's secret realm back then and told me something about it."

"Mountain Lord, do you think that someone once hid in this space and took something away?" Hu Chou regained his composure and asked tentatively.

"That's right. Being concerned can lead to chaos. It's useless to think too much now. If it's there, it's there; if it's not, it's not. We've done our best after all," Lingxiao suddenly sighed, shaking his head as if to shake the sorrow out of his mind. "Zelin, Wujiu, go and take a look at the side halls."

Sun Zelin and a handsome cultivator with flowing long hair responded and moved, one to the left and one to the right, passing through the doorways on both sides and entering the side halls.

In less than a few breaths, Sun Zelin returned first: "Reporting to the Mountain Lord, that hall is quite small, like a bedroom, and there are no items left."

Lingxiao frowned, thinking that if it was a bedroom, someone must have lived here, but he didn't know how many years ago it was.

"Mountain Lord, there is a doorway here, blocked by a stone door, with formation restrictions on it. This subordinate is unable to open it," At this time, the handsome cultivator Feng Wujiu stood at the entrance of the side hall and said loudly to Lingxiao and the others.

Lingxiao was not surprised to hear this. He strode forward and walked into the side hall. The others followed behind in single file.

This side hall was slightly smaller than the front hall, and was long and narrow in shape, less than five zhang wide and more than ten zhang deep, more like a passage. At the end was a stone door, with auspicious clouds and mythical beasts carved from jade, and on the left and right sides there were recesses, one in the shape of a hand, with the words "Cultivation Method" written on it, and one in the shape of a rectangle, with the words "Token" written on it.

Lingxiao signaled Hu Chou to go and check. Hu Chou walked over and looked carefully, and then stretched out his palm and pushed hard on the door, but the door did not move at all. He added 50% more force, but it still did not tremble or shake; finally, he exerted 100% of his strength, but there was still no reaction.

At this time, Xuan Yi suddenly said, "Mountain Lord, I'll go outside the hall and take another look at the structure of these buildings. Now that I think about it, they should all be built on a unified large formation."

"Okay, go!" Lingxiao nodded, then he seemed to have thought of something again, and his brows furrowed again.

"The formation is extremely strong, and it seems that it cannot be broken by force!" Hu Chou returned and said to Lingxiao.

"Then let's wait for Senior Sister Xuan, no need to rush," Lingxiao said in a deep voice.

Xuan Yi left the hall and flew into the air, observing the entire Profound Earth Hall from a high position, and only then did she see something different. When standing in front of the hall gate, the three Nascent Soul True Lords had all used their spiritual senses to explore the overall structure of the Profound Earth Hall, which was roughly seven halls in the front and back, connected by courtyards or gardens in the middle. Because of the protection of the formation, their spiritual senses could not penetrate deep into the buildings.

At this time, looking down from above, she found that the seven halls and the courtyards and gardens in the middle were all connected by blue stone strips, and all the buildings formed a whole. The formation was arranged according to the buildings, forming a huge series of linked formations.

Xuan Yi frowned her delicate eyebrows, thinking that this kind of formation was not easy to break. However, there was a flaw. Her eyes lit up, revealing a charming smile.

"How is it?" Lingxiao asked immediately when he saw Xuan Yi returning.

"The entire Profound Earth Hall is a large formation, and each hall is a small formation. The small formations are linked together to form a large formation. If this formation is complete, this little sister would have no way to deal with it," Xuan Yi briefly explained the situation, and then smiled, "Fortunately, there is still a flaw left. I don't know if it was deliberately left by the person who set up the large formation, or if it was a modification made by someone later, the small formation in the first hall is gone. In this way, we can try to open a gap."

Lingxiao frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "Do you think it was a flaw deliberately left by the person who set up the large formation, or did someone come in later and modify the formation?"

Xuan Yi was slightly stunned, then shook her head: "This little sister can't say for sure. If it is a complete formation, it is extremely difficult to break one of the formations without damaging the other small formations. It is impossible to do so without a formation master-level figure. Moreover, since this person broke one formation, then all six formations can be broken, and the large formation can also be broken. Why stop halfway? If it was left by the person who set up the formation, it doesn't make sense."

"Well, that makes sense," Lingxiao still couldn't figure it out, so he changed the subject, "What do you mean by 'opening a gap'?"

"The place where the first hall connects to the second hall is where the original formation of the first hall and the formation of the second hall connect. The formation of the first hall is gone, and this is the weakest part of the entire large formation. We can use this flaw to open up a temporary passage," Xuan Yi said, pointing to the stone door at the innermost part of the side hall as she spoke.

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Xuan!" Lingxiao said gently.
