Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

（I'll post one chapter first, and the next chapter will be posted as soon as it's written. Please forgive me!）

The red light sped past Zhang Yuanjing's hiding place, heading northeast, and quickly disappeared.

Zhang Yuanjing, seeing that it was just a false alarm, chuckled softly at himself. After a moment, the giant turtle flew over, hovering above, looking down at the ground with suspicion.

Zhang Yuanjing had already shielded himself with the Sky Obscuring Umbrella above his head, and burrowed another two hundred feet into the ground. He also retracted his divine sense, relying only on the umbrella's spiritual awareness to detect enemies.

"Little girl, this king knows you're hiding here. Come out quickly, and as long as you hand over that purple grass, this king will spare your life!" The giant turtle suddenly spoke, its voice rough and unpleasant.

Zhang Yuanjing was stunned. He originally thought the giant turtle was chasing the wrong person, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. However, why was the purple grass with that woman just now? And what means did that female cultivator use to make the giant turtle mistakenly believe she was hiding here?

Of course, what shocked him even more was that the woman had actually seen through his whereabouts, and had imperceptibly set up a scheme to divert disaster to him.

"Zhang San, did the female cultivator who just passed by have any powerful spiritual treasures on her?"

"Reporting, Master, Zhang San doesn't know. If the spiritual treasure is hidden in a storage space, Zhang San can't sense it."

"What if it's hidden in her body?"

"This, I should be able to sense it. But, Zhang San isn't sure. If it can conceal its spiritual aura, Zhang San won't be able to detect it."

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment, guessing that the woman might have a congenital spiritual treasure with her, just like him, or even a divine spiritual treasure. Otherwise, she shouldn't have been able to detect his location from over a hundred miles away, and know that he was hiding in the ground.

"Do you know what means that woman used to attract this turtle demon here?"

Zhang San was silent for a long time before replying, "Reporting, Master, Zhang San didn't discover the means used by that woman."

The giant turtle waited in the air for a moment, and when it didn't receive a response, it became somewhat annoyed. In fact, it didn't understand why that woman had run to this place and then hid. How could she hide from its hearing at such a close distance? However, the formation in the forest just now had given it a hard time. Each attack would trigger a strong counterattack of blue flames. Although it had a golden shell to protect it, each time it was hit, it had to retreat several feet, its body shaking violently, and its ears were still buzzing.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't immediately flee. At such a close distance, the sound could easily be captured by the hearing of a transformed great turtle. Moreover, he wasn't sure if the great turtle had really discovered him, so he decided to respond to the situation by remaining still.

The great turtle circled twice in the air, and seeing no reaction from below, it slapped the ground with a claw, its energy like thunder, penetrating a hundred feet underground, but far from Zhang Yuanjing's hiding place.

"Hmph, foolish cultivator, do you think you'll be fine hiding in the ground?" The giant turtle threatened, "Don't you know that this king is best at dealing with rodents in the ground!"

Zhang Yuanjing was startled, and suddenly remembered a legend about the golden-backed turtle. He thought to himself, could he be so unlucky as to encounter a golden-backed turtle that could burrow into the ground!

The records about the golden-backed turtle always mentioned two things: first, its golden shell is hard and an excellent material for making protective gear; second, occasionally, those with talent can burrow into the ground as if flying.

Zhang Yuanjing recalled the shape of this transformed great turtle, and it didn't seem like the type that could burrow into the ground.

The demon turtle in the sky suddenly exerted its strength, and slapped the ground several times again, causing vegetation to fall and soil to fly. But it didn't land on the ground to use earth-walking techniques.

"What a pity, such a delicate girl. This king originally wanted to keep you as a concubine. Since you don't appreciate it, don't blame this king for being ruthless!" The giant turtle smacked its lips, saying with regret, "Once this king uses this method, I can't stop it. If you want to live, it's not too late to come out now."

Zhang Yuanjing found it a bit funny. This transformed great turtle had a high cultivation level, but its intelligence was a bit of a drag on its status.

He remained unmoved, continuing to lurk.

The giant turtle waited for a dozen breaths, and seeing that there was still no movement below, it couldn't help but be furious: "Little girl, this king has kindly advised you, but you don't appreciate it! This king will let you see the power of the golden-backed great turtle!"

It floated up into the air, gradually reaching a height of several hundred feet, and then began to spin like a top, stirring the surrounding spiritual energy into a vortex. At a certain moment, an object suddenly shot out from the vortex, cleaving towards the ground.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't release his divine sense, so he didn't know what was happening outside. Zhang San only sensed that something was approaching, but couldn't say exactly what it was.

"Poof!"

The object was like a sharp blade that cut through iron like mud, cutting through the soil and spinning towards the depths of the earth.

Zhang Yuanjing used his divine sense to investigate, and then he discovered that this object was the great turtle's golden shell. It had actually used it as a weapon of attack, and launched it out.

This shell was a hundred feet in size, spinning and cutting in the ground, both fast and fierce, turning over the soil within a few miles before rushing out of the ground and returning to the great turtle.

At this time, the great turtle was no longer in its original form, but had transformed back into the turtle-headed human form, carrying the golden shell on its back. This was for the convenience of transformation, so the golden shell on its back could be detached to attack the enemy.

Seeing that the attack had not been effective, the giant turtle absorbed the spiritual power of its whole body, and once again agitated its magic power, rotating the golden shell and then hitting it into the ground.

Zhang Yuanjing's hiding place was more than five hundred feet underground, so he wasn't worried about being cut by the ghost shell at this time. But if he couldn't leave, he would inevitably be exposed sooner or later.

Just as he was thinking about a solution, a soft but slightly cold voice suddenly came to his ear: "Fellow Daoist, how about we cooperate to deal with this turtle?"

The voice came so abruptly that Zhang Yuanjing was startled. He couldn't help but look around in the soil, and his divine sense extended and covered everywhere, but he didn't find anything.

"Zhang San, are there any other cultivators around besides this great turtle?"

Zhang San said, "Master, there are no other cultivators."

Zhang Yuanjing only felt it was incredible. This person could even hide from the spiritual sense of a congenital spiritual treasure, which was really too strange.

"Fellow Daoist doesn't need to look for me. I am quite far away from you. The reason why I can transmit sound to you is because I carry a strange treasure that can find any cultivator within a hundred miles and transmit sound to them.

"To show sincerity, I can first introduce myself to Fellow Daoist. My name is Yu Hanyan, from the Nine Cold Valley in the Northern Region. I traveled here and was taken advantage of while setting up a formation to perform my exercises, which attracted this giant turtle to attack. I had no choice but to use a method of obstructing hearing, causing this demon to misjudge my whereabouts and change its target to Fellow Daoist. Although this was unavoidable, it ultimately endangered Fellow Daoist, so I sincerely apologize to Fellow Daoist."

Nine Cold Valley in the Northern Region! Zhang Yuanjing suddenly remembered someone - Luo Yuanhao in the Tomb of the Divine Monarch Xue. This person's remnant soul was still on him, and he still owed this person a promise to find a Golden Core realm body for him to seize.

He was wary of this person's strange origins and powerful strength, and had never dared to fulfill his promise. But unexpectedly, in this Hengduan Mountain Range, he encountered a Northern Region cultivator who was likely related to that Luo Yuanhao.

"If we can kill this demon, then everything we obtain will belong to Fellow Daoist. I only want the poison glands in its abdomen."
