Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

“Rumble!”

Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and the sound of thunder slowly descended from the heavens.

Lu Gong's eyes revealed disbelief: “It broke through! A divine treasure!”

He looked at the Lianyang Umbrella and saw the three yang energies connected and interacting with each other. A powerful aura emanated from within, growing stronger and stronger, presenting an unstoppable force. He couldn't help but sigh: “Man proposes, Heaven disposes!”

However, his expression immediately turned fierce. With a flicker of his body, he went straight for Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing was still in surprise when he saw this. He shuddered and immediately retracted the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, burrowing into the ground.

Zhang Yuanjing burrowed into the ground, going straight down two hundred zhang, but he always felt as if something was spying on him.

He thought of the wooden sculpture that Lu Gong had released earlier, and his scalp couldn't help but tighten. This person's methods were strange and unpredictable, and he might have ways to deal with him in the ground.

With this thought, he quickly released the blood worms to be on guard in the soil.

As soon as the blood worm came out, it issued a warning to him, and it was very urgent.

He didn't use his divine sense to investigate. The wooden sculpture could avoid divine sense detection, and the thing chasing after him must be the same.

There was no other way but to go deeper into the ground and limit it with the power of the earth.

He used the Earth Splitting Art, quickly traversing through the soil, heading deeper into the ground.

The blood worm's warning sound was incessant at first, but it quickly stopped. This worm's realm was still low and it couldn't dive too deep into the ground. By the time Zhang Yuanjing had drilled six hundred zhang below, it had already stopped.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't detect the enemy, but he intuitively felt that the danger hadn't been eliminated, so he continued downwards, until he reached more than twelve hundred zhang, the limit of his current realm.

However, in the deep earth, which should have been extremely quiet, there was a faint rustling sound coming.

He swept his divine sense over, but saw nothing. However, the sound was still there, and it was constantly approaching him.

Without hesitation, he used the Mountain Moving and Earth Splitting Arts in succession, unleashing a huge force to bombard the area.

“Boom!”

The soil layer was completely overturned where the strange sound came from, and a huge crack extended from above his head all the way up, turning into a hundreds of zhang deep pit. Soil fell straight down, piling up at the bottom of the pit.

He used his divine sense to examine the broken soil while using the Yin Yang Creation Furnace to patrol around him.

In the darkness, the pit, which was only a few zhang wide, seemed very oppressive.

Zhang Yuanjing could no longer hear the rustling sound, but he didn't feel relieved. Instead, he felt that the crisis was already at hand.

“Rumble!”

The faint sound of lightning strikes came from the surface, seeming very distant. The Lianyang Umbrella could now undergo its lightning tribulation!

At this moment, the Yin Yang Creation Furnace suddenly trembled and sucked at the pit wall fifty-six zhang above.

“Swish, swish!”

Soil slid down, flying into the furnace. It exploded halfway, revealing the appearance of a fox-like wooden sculpture.

Zhang Yuanjing held the bone blade, ready to meet it and chop it off, but he saw a gloomy and slightly smug face suddenly appear on the head of the wooden sculpture – Lu Gong!

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked. The bone blade in his hand didn't hesitate at all, and he slashed upwards with force.

The wooden sculpture swayed gently, but it seemed to dodge the bone blade's strike like air, and then pounced on him.

Zhang Yuanjing activated a spell, driving the Yin Yang Creation Furnace to suck. Although it didn't restrain the wooden sculpture, it forced it to turn from illusion to reality, and the bone blade in his hand simultaneously cut back.

Unable to avoid entering the void, the wooden sculpture completely turned real and took a blow from the bone blade.

“Poof!”

The wooden sculpture was nothing special and broke with a hard sound. However, a phantom detached before the wooden sculpture was cut.

“Hehe, to actually obtain an ancient beast's spine, and one that contains a legacy, what good fortune! This old man has searched for hundreds of years and never seen one! This time, it came without any effort!”

The old voice carried some sarcasm and also some melancholy.

“You! You can actually possess a puppet!” Zhang Yuanjing looked over in horror, only to see Lu Gong floating above, looking down at him from a high position, his deep eyes filled with complex expressions. His body had a powerful aura and solid blood energy, as if a real person was here.

“A mere possession technique is not worth mentioning. Of course, there is no inheritance in this life.” Lu Gong's powerful divine sense pressed down on Zhang Yuanjing and said lightly, “Without that black umbrella protecting you, you have no way to escape. As long as you hand over the silver lotus, this old man can spare your life!”

“The lotus is not with me.” Zhang Yuanjing carefully listened to the thunder rumbling on the ground and said with a slightly helpless tone, “If you want that thing, you must go to the Nine Cold Valley in the Northern Region.”

“Hand over the Sumeru ring and let this old man check it!” Lu Gong ordered grimly, “If it's not in your hands, then you can only die!”

Zhang Yuanjing tried to delay: “I can go to the Northern Region and retrieve the silver lotus.”

Lu Gong laughed: “The Nine Cold Valley, this old man enters and exits as if it were my own home. Why would I need you to retrieve it? Stop talking nonsense and hand over the Sumeru ring!”

Zhang Yuanjing's heart stirred, realizing that the other party must have made some kind of mistake. Otherwise, he would have already attacked and killed him. Why would he force him to hand over the Sumeru ring?

He immediately used the Earth Splitting Art and continued to drill into the ground. Of course, he could also hold the bone blade and go up to chop this evil old Daoist, but that choice was too risky.

“Vermin!”

Lu Gong cursed loudly, raised his hand, and shot out a wisp of sword energy, but it only penetrated more than ten zhang into the soil before being blocked by the earth's power. Zhang Yuanjing had already dived nearly fifty zhang further.

He snorted coldly, but didn't continue to attack, nor did he move his body. Suddenly detaching from the possessed object was not without a price. His internal energy fell into disorder, and he couldn't move for at least ten breaths. He could only mobilize one or two tenths of his mana.

He wanted to delay for a few breaths, and also wanted to lure Zhang Yuanjing to take the initiative to attack, but it seemed too deliberate, and Zhang Yuanjing saw through it, making him feel a little annoyed.

However, having reached such a deep layer of soil, he didn't believe that Zhang Yuanjing could escape far in a few breaths.

His divine sense had been locked on Zhang Yuanjing. Seeing that he could only go another hundred zhang into the ground before he couldn't move, he couldn't help but sneer repeatedly.

Just now, if this earth-drilling rat had escaped upwards, he might have had to spend some effort. But going downwards was tantamount to seeking his own death and wasting time in vain.

Zhang Yuanjing saw that Lu Gong hadn't moved all along, and he also regretted it in his heart. Just as he was hesitating whether to go up again, he saw Lu Gong was already moving freely. This old Daoist landed in the pit and took out another wooden sculpture, shaped like a rat. He touched it to his forehead, and his figure and aura disappeared at the same time, while the rat sculpture entered the ground and disappeared in an instant.
