Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

(Happy New Year to all my readers! I've been writing *Mystic Heavens* for over a year now. In the early stages, I had a lot of saved chapters, so I updated frequently. However, in the latter half of the year, due to changes in my work, I've been quite busy and rarely added extra chapters. In the last two months of the year, I could only update two thousand words a day, which I truly feel sorry for! In the new year, I will work hard to write more, and I will update more whenever I have enough time. According to the outline, there is still a lot to write in this book. I will write according to the logic of the plot development, without padding, ruining the story, or leaving it unfinished! Special thanks to "Hello Beautiful Jiang Ying," "Grain Tenth Son Who Loves Sour Cabbage," "I'll Refine Old Zhuang if You Don't Update," and other readers for their generous encouragement. Your recognition is always my greatest motivation to keep writing!)

The wolf-bird didn't slow down as it ran, reaching Zhang Yuanjing in an instant, its claw reaching for his throat.

Seeing that this claw was about to tear its opponent to shreds, a huge force fell from above, pressing down on its head.

Its body trembled, and its first reaction was not to fight back desperately, but to retreat and escape. However, that huge force instantly pressed down on its back, and before it could react, it spread to every part of its body, pressing it to its knees, unable to move at all.

The expected collapse of the earthen mountain did not occur. The mountain was still being held up by Zhang Yuanjing's hands, and the space above it was still empty, but the power was truly pressing down on its entire body, like a mountain or an ocean.

Zhang Yuanjing silently comprehended what he had gained, his heart filled with infinite joy. Using a mountain to crash into an enemy was indeed a variation of the Mountain Moving Technique, but it was ultimately too simple and difficult to use effectively in battle. However, using a mountain to cover the enemy, driving the force like a tide, could be a more effective way to subdue them.

Of course, there was still a problem here, which was that the enemy would not actively come over to be beaten in battle. This method of suppressing the enemy with a mountain still needed to be refined.

One method was naturally to make the mountain large enough to cover a range of dozens or even hundreds of miles. Once the mountain was pressed down, all enemies would have nowhere to escape. This could only be done after reaching the Nascent Soul realm, so it was too early to consider it now.

Another method was to make the earthen mountain as fast as the wind, so that the enemy could not avoid it. This could be tried, after all, the mountain he created was a source stone. He could first deceive the enemy with the appearance of an ordinary stone, and when it was above their head, suddenly transform it into a mountain and press down. The enemy would naturally be caught off guard and be hit. However, this move relied on the source stone, so it needed to be refined first to make it transform into a giant mountain.

"Woo-woo—"

The wolf-bird was unwilling to accept its fate and made a mournful sound, trying to attack Zhang Yuanjing's spirit.

Zhang Yuanjing's comprehension was interrupted, so he released a portion of the huge force he was bearing and bombarded the demon, smashing it into a bloody mess with just one blow, killing it.

He pondered for a moment and felt that both methods would take time, and the second method was refining equipment, which would not help him break through his cultivation.

Two battles were over, and there was one more battle tomorrow, so he didn't put away the earthen mountain, but just carried it like that. After a long time, he always felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, he realized that the mountain was too light. Because he had removed the weight of the source stone, the wet soil he created was not dense enough, and it didn't have the oppressive feeling that a thirty-foot earthen mountain should have.

He gained some insights from a night of comprehension, but he was not sure yet and needed to try it out in actual combat to see if it was feasible.

The arena opened, and another demon came up, which was the eagle-owl that had come up once before. This beast learned from the wolf-bird and immediately flew to the top of the stone platform as soon as it entered, circling back and forth.

Zhang Yuanjing threw the earthen mountain out, smashing it towards the eagle-owl. The eagle-owl easily dodged it. But Zhang Yuanjing's attack was different from how he dealt with the wolf-bird. He actually jumped up and arrived at the top of the earthen mountain first.

"Break!"

The source stone acted according to his command and suddenly expanded, opening up the entire earthen mountain.

Zhang Yuanjing then used the Thick Earth Transformation Technique to control the earth clods in the sky and cover the eagle-owl. The eagle-owl flapped its wings and released wind blades, trying to drive away the earth clods. But these earth clods were different from yellow sand, they were not light in weight, and they were driven by Zhang Yuanjing's magic power, so they could not be easily blown away.

The eagle-owl realized the danger and quickly rushed towards one direction, but an earthen wall flashed and blocked it. It quickly changed direction, but after flying a few feet, another earthen wall blocked its path. It changed direction again, and it was still the same.

It felt a chill down its spine, feeling that an overwhelming danger was imminent, so it made up its mind, increased its escape speed to the extreme, and rushed forward regardless.

"Boom!"

It directly smashed through an earthen wall, its head aching and dizzy, barely supporting itself, and continued to rush forward.

At this time, the surrounding earth clods and earthen walls suddenly gathered towards it.

The eagle-owl's hair stood on end, and it rushed upwards. However, a huge force fell from above. Where were the surrounding earth clods? Only a large mountain with a radius of fifty or sixty feet was pressing down.

The eagle-owl turned its head and plunged downwards, while tilting its body and flying diagonally to the side.

"Bang!"

Everything was in vain, the giant mountain fell, only in an instant. The eagle-owl was crushed into mud.

Zhang Yuanjing slowly fell from the sky, standing on the top of the mountain, and said softly: "This technique shall be called Covering Earth into a Mountain!"

Now that it had been named, the earthen mountain under his feet seemed to come alive, trembling slightly. This was because he and Zhang Shi were connected in spirit and had created this technique together. They both gained something, and Zhang Shi's spirituality had greatly increased.

"Disperse!"

Zhang Yuanjing said casually. The earthen mountain disintegrated, falling all over the ground, and then turned into nothing.

The magic technique had been completed, and he had touched the edge of the change in the technique. Next, he needed to constantly use this technique to comprehend the principles within.

After that, there was a five-day break. Lu Tianying made a special trip to tell him that he had passed on the words from last time to Fire Crow Taoist, but Fire Crow Taoist did not reply. He also said that the Hall of Enforcement would punish the Mystic Heaven Sect, perhaps with the might of thunder.

It is said that these words were not displayed using spirit jade, but a secret method was devised, which was to correspond the words spoken to the words in a cultivation technique of the Mystic Heaven Sect, replacing them with the number of the word in a certain article and column.

Since both of them were Core Formation cultivators and were familiar with the cultivation techniques, they could quickly understand what was being said.

Finally, Zhang Yuanjing said in secret: "If the academy is unwilling to invite their Transformation God out, then everything will be dropped, and no conditions need to be agreed to."

Lu Tianying was stunned: "Why must we invite a Transformation God?"

Zhang Yuanjing said: "Some things cannot be explained in detail, Senior Fire Crow understands."

Lu Tianying shook his head, feeling that Zhang Yuanjing was becoming more and more mysterious. Compared to when they fought together in the Cluster Mountain, he seemed to have changed a lot, making him a little incomprehensible.

Zhang Yuanjing sat upright on the arena, thinking about countermeasures. If the Dean of the academy didn't take his words seriously and was unwilling to report to the Transformation God, or if the Transformation God couldn't come here, then the Mystic Heaven Sect would be in danger.

The strongest means of punishment that the Hall of Enforcement has for the Southern Domain sects is to strip them of their title as one of the Ten Great Sects. It should be known that the reason why the Ten Great Sects were established in the first place was to make each sect willing to contribute to guarding the seven immortal cities of the Hengduan Mountains. If each sect cannot bear this responsibility, the Hall of Enforcement can, with the unanimous consent of all the enforcers, deprive a certain sect of its position as one of the Ten Great Sects and replace it with another sect.

In the history of more than 20,000 years, whether in the Central Domain or the Southern Domain, there has been no shortage of great sects being stripped of their titles. However, ordinary stripping only means losing the benefits and past fame and status in the Hengduan Mountains, and there is no danger of survival.

The Mystic Heaven Sect is different. If it loses its position as one of the Ten Great Sects, it may immediately face a large-scale attack from the Heavenly Dao Sect and its allies. In the past, just the Heavenly Demon Abyss had already greatly damaged the Mystic Heaven Sect's vitality. If a great sect in the Central Domain recklessly launched a massive attack, how long could it withstand!

Where else can help be found?

There are only two known Transformation God cultivators in the world, one is an enemy, and the other is not yet a friend. The demon race occupies one, the sea race has one, there may also be Transformation God cultivators in the East Sea or the Northern Region, plus the magic scorpion of Mount Luojia, none of them can become a helping hand to resolve the situation.

There are two remaining choices. One is the existence behind the Yin-Yang Creation Furnace. However, that existence is too mysterious. To seek his help, not to mention whether the price can be afforded, just finding him is extremely difficult. The other is Senior Myriad Realms Pot in the tomb of Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum. Although this is a spirit of an artifact, it has a deep connection with the Mystic Heaven Sect. If its conditions can be met, it may be possible to invite it to take action.

With a plan in mind, he dispelled the distracting thoughts and concentrated on comprehending his cultivation technique. The top priority was to break through to the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible. Being strong oneself is always the most important thing.
