Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

A month later, Zhang Yuanjing led eight disciples at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining to the Thick Earth Sect.

The Thick Earth Sect was located on Accumulation Stone Mountain, five million miles southwest of the Profound Heaven Sect. Although there was only a medium-grade spiritual cave beneath the mountain gate, Nascent Soul cultivators often appeared in the sect, so it was very prestigious and had always maintained friendly relations with the Profound Heaven Sect on an equal footing.

However, because no Nascent Soul cultivator had appeared in nearly five thousand years, it had gradually become a vassal of the Profound Heaven Sect.

The sect had a profound foundation, with eleven Core Formation cultivators, the highest of whom had reached the Great Perfection of the Core Formation realm. The Thick Earth Sect was good at cultivating spiritual herbs and was the most important source of spiritual herbs for the Profound Heaven Sect.

The Profound Heaven Sect took Heavenly Tower Mountain as its core and built dozens of immortal cities within a million miles around it, connecting them with teleportation arrays to several important places of the outer sect, controlling the central area of the large spiritual cave.

Outside of this area, there were many small and medium-sized sects occupying small and medium-sized spiritual caves. Because they were close to the Profound Heaven Sect, they mostly took the initiative to cling to the Profound Heaven Sect in order to protect themselves, willingly becoming vassals, and also sending low-level disciples to the Profound Heaven Sect, having countless connections with the Profound Heaven Sect.

The Profound Heaven Sect had always been tolerant towards these sects, requiring only the offering of some materials, without any other harsh conditions, and did not interfere in their internal affairs.

Zhang Yuanjing, with his group of Qi Refining disciples, first teleported to Shining Radiance Immortal City, six hundred thousand miles southwest of the mountain gate. After a short rest and preparing gifts, they boarded a mid-grade Wind Riding Carriage that only Core Formation cultivators could use, traveling two hundred thousand miles a day towards Accumulation Stone Mountain.

The Qi Refining disciples were all riding a mid-grade Wind Riding Carriage for the first time, and were already a little excited. Seeing that Zhang Yuanjing, known in the sect as "Rat Taoist," was leading the team, they were quite relaxed, gathering in twos and threes to look down at the scenery and point out the landscape.

Only one young cultivator with a jade-like face and a tall figure occasionally glanced at Zhang Yuanjing, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Zhang Yuanjing, however, closed his eyes and meditated, his mind wandering beyond the heavens, looking as if he didn't care about anything.

When cultivators traveled, they usually avoided the prosperous areas of mortal kingdoms, passing through remote and dangerous places to avoid being contaminated by unnecessary karma.

"Look, what's that over there?"

"Water floods the green hills..."

"It seems that a demon beast is causing trouble. With such momentum, it's probably a Spirit Awakening stage demon beast!"

"There are cultivators fighting it, but they seem to be at a disadvantage."

"Looking at the shape, it looks like a snake demon! It's a pity that my cultivation is not enough. A Spirit Awakening stage snake demon is full of treasures!"

...

Zhang Yuanjing had already stood by the car window, looking into the distance.

A dozen miles away, beside a long river, three cultivators were fighting a snake demon.

The snake demon was as white as silk, more than ten feet long, with a thick body and tough scales, resisting the cultivators' spiritual weapon attacks. It thrust left and swept right, forcing the three cultivators to retreat continuously.

Judging from the mana fluctuations of the snake demon and the cultivators, it should be a Foundation Establishment stage battle.

The snake demon was obviously of the water attribute, possessing good water control talent, able to simply manipulate river water to attack enemies, and its strength was very strong.

The three cultivators seemed to be practicing fire attribute techniques. Flames shot out between their attacks, burning many houses, but it was not a big threat to the snake demon. Therefore, although there were many of them, they were at a disadvantage.

Zhang Yuanjing vaguely remembered that the place was White Moon River, a prosperous area of ​​Yuanyang Kingdom's Eastern Township County, where no demon beasts had ever appeared.

This time, the snake demon was causing trouble, and the villages along the river were probably suffering. At the thought of this, he controlled the flying car and went straight to the battle site.

He looked at the disciples and said, "Stay in the Wind Riding Carriage and don't move around. If there is danger, work together to control the flying car to leave. A Spirit Awakening stage snake demon can't do anything to a mid-grade Wind Riding Carriage."

The disciples were not afraid, and all showed excitement. Although they, as highly talented Qi Refining disciples, had seen Foundation Establishment stage battles, they were not common. And to see Zhang Yuanjing, known as "Rat Taoist," take action was also a rare and interesting event.

The distance of a dozen miles was reached in the blink of an eye. Zhang Yuanjing flew out of the Wind Riding Carriage and slowly approached the battle.

The three cultivators and the snake demon noticed and secretly increased their vigilance, and the pace of the battle slowed down.

"Three fellow Taoists, I am a cultivator from the Profound Heaven Sect, and I want to join forces with you to eliminate this demon snake. All the gains will belong to you, and I don't want any of them." Zhang Yuanjing shouted to the three cultivators when he saw this.

Hearing this, one of them said loudly, "Fellow Taoist, please take action."

The snake demon twisted its body and swept its huge tail towards Zhang Yuanjing, who was quickly approaching from behind.

Seeing that this demon was only in the middle stage of the Spirit Awakening realm, although its physical body was strong, its intelligence was not very high, and its mana was weak, Zhang Yuanjing sacrificed the Profound Crystal Great Axe. With a pinch of the magic formula, the great axe spun around, and the wide axe face turned into a huge shield, blocking in front of him. This was the "Axe Shield" move.

The huge snake tail struck the axe shield with one blow, the great axe remained motionless, and the snake tail bounced back.

The snake demon hissed, obviously the rebounding force made it very uncomfortable. It turned its snake head, its tail attacked the other three, and its head opened its stinky mouth, spewing a stream of blue-brown viscous liquid, covering Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing moved the Profound Crystal Axe with his left hand, causing the great axe to spin rapidly, and pressed his right hand in the air, injecting a pure earth attribute spiritual power into the axe.

The sewage was held in mid-air by the Profound Crystal Axe, and then quickly solidified into brown stones the size of fists by the earth spiritual power, falling into the fields by the river.

The three cultivators, two using flying swords and one using a flying shuttle, all practiced fire attribute techniques. Their attack power was acceptable, but their accuracy was not enough, and they hit the snake demon very few times, which the snake demon easily resisted.

On the contrary, the aftermath of the three people's attacks affected the houses and people in the riverside village, causing many mortals to be killed or injured.

Especially one of the cultivators, who had reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, used the "Fire Burning Clouds" with a middle-grade spiritual weapon. The snake demon was only slightly burned, but he burned twenty or thirty houses to ashes. The mortals in the houses did not even have a chance to escape, and turned into ashes together with the houses.

In the distance, the mortals who were lucky enough to survive wailed in grief, and their shrill cries resounded above the long river.

The three cultivators turned a blind eye and just tried their best to cast spells, scattering flames and flying red flames, burning the surrounding forests and crops to ashes.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't bear it in his heart, but he didn't say anything to reprimand them. For cultivators, the difference between immortals and mortals was like the difference between heaven and earth. In the eyes of many cultivators, mortals were just ants.

The snake demon realized that Zhang Yuanjing was more difficult to deal with, and it was fighting four against one, so it did not dare to get entangled. It wanted to break through the blockade and escape into the White Moon River.

Its long tail slammed heavily between the two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. The huge impact caused the two to retreat repeatedly. Then, it turned its head and darted out like an arrow from a bow.

Zhang Yuanjing had been prepared for this. He changed the magic formula, and the Profound Crystal Axe flew out high, the spine of the axe hitting the snake demon's giant head like a hammer. This was one of the ultimate moves, "Intercepting Hammer."

Seeing that this axe, apart from being powerful and powerful, was nothing special, and its speed was also quite slow, the snake demon accelerated forward, thinking it could dodge the hammer blow of the axe.

But little did it know that the "Intercepting Hammer" move was to use the heavy earth spiritual power contained in the Profound Crystal Axe to increase the potential energy of the axe's attack. At the beginning, the Profound Crystal Axe started very slowly, and its power was not obvious. Then, its speed became faster and faster, and its attack became stronger and stronger. Finally, it went like a meteor and its power was like a mountain pressing down. Once it hit an object, it would crack steel, break iron, open mountains and shake the earth.

By the time the snake demon felt something was wrong, the axe hammer had already reached its body, and it could only resist with its physical body. With a "pop" sound, as if hitting a fallen leaf, the snake demon was knocked over, and a large piece of blood appeared on its snow-white back, with minced meat flowing down with the blood.

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator took the opportunity to throw out a demon-trapping rope and locked the snake demon on the field. The other two cultivators then released their killing moves, directly hitting the snake demon's seven inches.

The snake demon was beaten by Zhang Yuanjing's axe hammer until its scales were torn and its muscles and bones were damaged. It had no strength to break free from the demon-trapping rope. The attacks of the two cultivators accurately hit its vital points, and the snake demon screamed repeatedly for a while, and its breath became weaker and weaker.

Zhang Yuanjing was worried that the snake demon would go crazy and injure more innocent people, so he quickly used his skills to mobilize his energy, fully stimulating the heavy power of the Profound Crystal Axe. He changed the magic formula in his hand, and the great axe made a spin in the air, slashing straight down at the snake demon's triangular head, which was the Profound Crystal Axe's strongest killing move, "Splitting Mountain."

With a soft "poof" sound, the giant axe split the snake demon's giant head in two like cutting vegetables.

The snake demon did not die immediately, and called out "hissing" repeatedly. Its thick and long snake body twisted sharply, and its tail was like an iron whip, smashing dozens of four- or five-foot-deep "scars" into the surrounding fields.

Zhang Yuanjing did not take any further action. The other three also put away their spiritual weapons and came over to greet Zhang Yuanjing.

"Greetings, fellow Taoist. We are cultivators from the Qixia Valley You family. My name is You Zhongjin, and these two are my nephews, You Guangtong and You Guangyuan. Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help! May I ask your honorable name?" The leading Foundation Establishment stage cultivator cupped his fists and saluted respectfully.

This person had a slightly dark complexion, sharp eyes, and wore a streamer fire silver silk armor, which made him look quite extraordinary.

"This poor Taoist is Zhang Yuanjing from the Profound Heaven Sect. Greetings, three fellow Taoists." Zhang Yuanjing returned the salute with cupped hands and said politely.

Generally speaking, most of the cultivation families within the sphere of influence of the Profound Heaven Sect have some relationship with the Profound Heaven Sect, at least their ancestors were Profound Heaven cultivators. Since this person knew that he was a Profound Heaven cultivator, he directly reported his name and origin as soon as he came up, and the situation should be similar.

"After all, you are a disciple of a great sect, and your skills are strong, which is incomparable to us. If it weren't for Fellow Taoist Zhang's help, we might not have been able to retreat unscathed." You Zhongjin said modestly.

The other two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, You Guangtong and You Guangyuan, also looked at Zhang Yuanjing with envious and respectful eyes.

Seeing that he did not take the initiative to cling to him, Zhang Yuanjing smiled reservedly and asked, "How did a Spirit Awakening stage snake demon appear here? There doesn't seem to be any deep mountains, great swamps, or poor mountains and bad waters around here."

You Zhongjin sighed softly and said with some shame, "This snake demon was originally entrenched in Lishan Ze, thousands of miles away from here, and has always been active in that area, sometimes running to nearby counties to do evil.

Half a month ago, the three of us went to Lishan Ze to kill this fellow. This snake demon was still in the early stage of Spirit Awakening at that time. After being injured by us, it fled south.

Thinking of eradicating evil, we chased after it all the way, caught up with it several times on the way, but it ran away. This fierce demon is very cunning. Once it can't hold on, it will escape into the water to swallow fish and shrimp, or break into villages and towns to eat people and livestock to replenish its energy, so it has never shown signs of decline.

When it arrived at the White Moon River, I don't know what kind of spiritual grass it swallowed, and it suddenly advanced to the middle stage of Spirit Awakening, and the situation suddenly reversed. The three of us were originally prepared to retreat, but fortunately Fellow Taoist Zhang came, otherwise all our efforts would have been in vain!"

Zhang Yuanjing then knew the origin of the snake demon. It was very common in the cultivation world for cultivators to besiege and kill demon beasts, causing the demon beasts to run into mortal villages and towns and cause chaos, so cultivators didn't care much.

While the four of them were exchanging greetings, the snake demon had already died completely. You Zhongjin ordered You Guangtong and You Guangyuan to extract the usable materials from the snake demon, while he still accompanied Yuanjing to talk.
