Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing was startled, "Where is it?"

Zhang San said, "It's in the pool!"

Zhang Yuanjing's whole body stiffened. He had never heard of the Jade Fox clan living in the water.

At that moment, with a splash, a delicate and charming oval face covered in water droplets emerged from the water. Her eyes, like a pool of autumn water, looked directly at Zhang Yuanjing, her red lips slightly parted, a smile playing on the corners of her mouth.

Her gaze was like a bottomless abyss. In just a moment of eye contact, she dragged Zhang Yuanjing's entire soul into it.

At this point, Zhang Yuanjing understood that this woman was a transformed Jade Fox, playing in the pool. When he used his divine sense to explore the ground, he examined the surrounding mountains, ridges, and valleys, but he missed this pool of water because he never imagined that a Jade Fox would hide in the water.

In a daze, his soul seemed about to be swallowed, and his consciousness was dissipating.

At the critical moment, a round of golden sun rose from the bottom of the abyss, dispelling the darkness. Zhang Yuanjing's soul felt a sharp pain, and then he woke up completely.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a short scream, the woman covered her head with her arms, spitting out blood, her face as pale as paper. Her thin shoulders trembled violently. Suddenly, she leaped out of the water, stark naked, and fled into the distance, occasionally letting out a "woo woo" sound. In a few breaths, she disappeared beyond the distant mountains.

Zhang Yuanjing let out a long breath and collapsed to the ground.

"Zhang San, where did she run off to?"

"Reporting, Master, she ran out of the valley and went west."

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head, thinking that this transformed Jade Fox was really cautious. However, it was also reasonable. A Core Formation cultivator, carrying a powerful spiritual treasure, broke into its territory and, with its best means, turned the tables, severely injuring its soul. Unsure of the number of enemies and whether there were Nascent Soul experts, fleeing was naturally the safest option.

"Master, that demon is probably newly broken through, otherwise it wouldn't be so incompetent, suffering a heavy blow from Zhang San's reflection," Zhang San said with some pride.

Zhang Yuanjing praised, "Even if it just broke through, it's still a proper transformed great demon. You remained calm in the face of danger and subdued the enemy with one move. Well done!"

Zhang San said joyfully, "Thank you for your praise, Master! Zhang San will definitely protect you, Master!"

Zhang Yuanjing laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said, "See where the spiritual energy is most abundant, and let's quickly go and search, and leave this place as soon as possible. If that fox demon finds helpers, it will be a tragedy."

There were several stone chambers similar to cultivator's caves in Falling Immortal Valley, and the furnishings inside were similar. However, at this time, it was a mess because when the great demon fled just now, it issued a warning, which immediately caused chaos in the valley. Many fox demons fled in all directions, some even biting off the high-quality spiritual herbs they were guarding before leaving.

Zhang Yuanjing searched several places but found nothing.

There was also a stone chamber with a tall portal and luxurious decorations. The formation was very strong, and the restrictions were terrifying. It was likely the cave of the Jade Fox King.

Zhang Yuanjing had Ape Thirteen attack several times, but he failed to shake the formation and was injured by the restrictions. So he left decisively.

This setback also reminded Zhang Yuanjing that in the territory of great demons, there may be demon beasts at the Great Perfection of the Demon Core realm who have broken through. If he rashly breaks in, he may fall into a dead end, so he must be more cautious.

The further west into the Hengduan Mountains, the more dangerous the terrain and the more scattered the distribution of great spiritual veins, but their quality was higher than in the central section.

According to the map obtained in the Immortal City, Zhang Yuanjing crossed the north-south midline of the Hengduan Mountains and went to a place called Paiyun Ridge on the northern foothills. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mountains were like forests, almost like a maze, but the spiritual energy was very rich, and high-quality spiritual herbs could often be found. Among the mountains, there was a mountain called Yuxia Peak, which was occupied by a transformed great demon.

Along the way, he crossed the mountains and only occasionally encountered Demon Core realm demon beasts, which he easily killed. As for demon beasts below the Spirit Awakening realm, he ignored them and swept past.

Two months later, Zhang Yuanjing stood on a giant tree, looking into the distance at the vast sea of clouds, with countless dangerous peaks looming in the mist.

As far as he could see, he could also see many bird demons, circling in the mountains in groups. The situation here was somewhat different from the previous great demon territories.

It was indeed inconvenient without the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast. Zhang Yuanjing used the Earth Escape Technique and quickly went to Paiyun Ridge from the ground.

Only a hundred miles into the mountain, he found many traces of demon beasts passing by, especially some hidden caves or crevices in giant rocks, which showed signs of being searched by demon beasts. He was immediately refreshed, thinking that the demons might be searching for earth-grade spiritual objects.

It seemed that although the demon race was large, it was impossible to thoroughly check the entire Hengduan Mountains, so they must choose some key areas to search. It now seemed that the demons were likely focusing on the western section of the mountains, where the spiritual energy was abundant and the terrain was complex. For the purpose of preventing the human race, they must start from the area near the human Immortal City and cover westward.

Of course, even if it was only the western section of the Hengduan Mountains, it was six to seven hundred million miles long and tens of millions to hundreds of millions of miles wide. In such a vast area, the demons would definitely launch searches from multiple directions simultaneously.

Zhang Yuanjing suddenly thought that earth-grade spiritual objects must have been upgraded from existing profound-grade seventh-order spiritual objects. Therefore, what the demons were looking for was not only earth-grade spiritual objects, but all profound-grade seventh-order spiritual objects in the Hengduan Mountains. Moreover, they not only had to find spiritual objects, but also deploy forces to guard the seventh-order spiritual objects that had been found. If he could find where the demon beasts were heavily guarded, it would be equivalent to finding a profound-grade seventh-order spiritual object.

He took out the "Sky Shield" and covered himself with it, following the traces of the demon beasts and constantly heading deeper into Paiyun Ridge.

Along the way, he could occasionally see earth-grade demon beasts traveling through the mountains, but he ignored them and went straight to Yuxia Ridge.

Logically speaking, if there was a profound-grade seventh-order spiritual object here, the transformed great demon would have already discovered it. However, if this were the case, the great demon would definitely want to keep it for itself and would not actively report it to Demon Saint Mountain.

Demon Saint Mountain planned to besiege the human Seven Immortal Cities and transferred all the demon kings away from their nests, perhaps with this consideration in mind. Of course, there would definitely be demon kings who would not obey the transfer, and their territory would be the key search area.

The demon king of this Yuxia Mountain was a white-haired elephant, with strength in the middle stage of the Transformation realm. It was said that its temper was the most fierce, and it had often fought with other demon kings in the past. Its combat power was considered outstanding in the same realm.

When he was a hundred miles away from Yuxia Mountain, he heard a hoarse voice shouting from the mountainside: "Brother White Elephant, don't misunderstand, this king is just following the order of the Holy Emperor to conduct a routine inspection. As long as it is not a profound-grade seventh-order spiritual object, there is no need to hand it over."

Responding to it was a voice like a bell: "You old monkey, don't come here to deceive me! Who doesn't know that you are a greedy bastard who plucks even the feathers off a passing goose! Brother Han from the south said that wherever you guys go, let alone profound-grade fifth-order or higher spiritual objects, even fourth-order or lower ones are all gone! This Paiyun Ridge is very large, and I don't care where you go, but don't even think about touching this Yuxia Peak!"
