Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Hahaha, I originally thought killing just one would be great, but I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Ape would have such divine power, that he could withstand the Hellfire and kill this late-stage Core Formation realm Chi Hou!"

Fire Crow Daoist was the first to descend from the sky, smiling at Ape Thirteen.

Ape Thirteen's aura was rapidly weakening at this time, and a look of exhaustion appeared in his eyes, but he still managed a grin.

After such an earth-shattering battle, although he was not injured, forcibly using the ultimate move from the Nine Revolutions Golden Body severely overdrawn his blood essence and physical strength, reaching the limit of his physical body. He didn't even have the strength to howl a few times to celebrate.

At this moment, Ape Twelve and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast also landed on the ground, excitedly looking at the headless corpse of the Chi Hou on the ground, continuously making "squeak, squeak" sounds.

Fire Crow Daoist looked at the three demon beasts, his heart stirred, and then his lips moved slightly, emitting a series of voice transmissions.

After a dozen or so breaths, Zhang Yuanjing, who had been watching the battle from afar in the high sky, flew over on his sword, congratulating the one man and three beasts.

Before coming, he had received a voice transmission from Fire Crow Daoist and already knew his plan.

So he said to Ape Thirteen and Ape Twelve: "Clan Leader Ape, Brother Ape, this trip to the Earth Abyss requires relying on Senior Fire Crow to deal with the Yin Fiend Flying Zombies, and this Chi Hou's inner core and corpse are very important for him to refine the Myriad Beast Fire.

"This poor Daoist suggests giving this late-stage Core Formation realm Chi Hou's corpse to Senior Fire Crow, one of the remaining two to Brother Ape to devour in order to quickly replenish his blood essence and physical strength, and the other to be disposed of by Clan Leader Ape. I wonder what you two think?"

These words were mainly spoken to Ape Twelve. Ape Thirteen was his battle partner and naturally listened to him.

The Chi Hou's bloodline was extraordinary, and its divine powers were vast. After demon beasts devoured it, there would be many benefits, so after taking down this late-stage Chi Hou, Ape Twelve and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast developed some greedy thoughts.

Fire Crow Daoist was an experienced old fox and knew that if Ape Thirteen spoke first, Zhang Yuanjing would most likely agree with his words, so he preemptively transmitted his voice, planning ahead.

Ape Twelve was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Ape Thirteen. Ape Thirteen had already nodded in agreement, and squeaked and squeaked, saying a lot to Ape Twelve.

After listening, Ape Twelve seemed to disagree, shaking his head repeatedly at Ape Thirteen.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't understand what was going on, and couldn't understand the conversation between the two apes, so he could only stand aside anxiously. The two apes argued for a long time, finally ending with Ape Twelve's reluctant nod.

"Yuanjing, I gave both of the two mid-stage Chi Hou to Grandpa, and he initially disagreed, but I persuaded him. For me, using two mid-stage Chi Hou to recover my consumption is a bit of a waste, it's better to let them devour it, which can also increase their cultivation base."

Seeing Zhang Yuanjing's worried expression, Ape Thirteen quickly explained to him with a divine sense transmission.

Zhang Yuanjing was relieved to hear that. As an ancient variant species, the Golden-Backed Giant Ape naturally possessed high intelligence, but it was still a spiritual beast and easily tempted by desires.

Fortunately, after two advancements, Ape Thirteen obtained more bloodline inheritance, and not only was able to control his desires, but also knew to act according to his ideas.

In the following days, Fire Crow Daoist refined fire with the demon core of the late-stage Demon Core realm Chi Hou, while Ape Twelve and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast fell into a deep sleep after devouring a Chi Hou each.

On the ninth day, a hearty laughter of "Hahaha" came from the cave where Fire Crow Daoist was in seclusion. Immediately, the cave door opened, and the white-haired old Daoist walked out with a ruddy complexion. Zhang Yuanjing and Ape Thirteen in the nearby cave had already emerged upon hearing the sound.

"Congratulations, Senior, you have achieved great success!" Zhang Yuanjing said with a smile.

"This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist's generosity." Fire Crow Daoist said excitedly, "All three thousand Fire Crows have been restored, and their strength is even better than before. What surprised the old Daoist even more is that my Profound Heaven Calabash has been promoted to a high-grade magic treasure after this refinement. Hahaha, the old Daoist's body is already halfway in the grave, but I never thought there would be such a day."

Zhang Yuanjing was also very happy. With the improvement of Fire Crow Daoist's magic treasure, the trip to the Earth Abyss would be even more guaranteed.

He immediately said: "This is indeed Senior's opportunity, and also this junior's opportunity. It seems that the opportunity for this junior to obtain that strange earth lies with Senior's magic treasure!"

"Alas, this matter of opportunity is truly wonderful! The old Daoist has lived for more than five hundred years and experienced countless dangers. I originally thought I had seen through it, but in reality, I am still circling outside the door!" Fire Crow Daoist sighed with emotion, as if recalling something, and was somewhat saddened.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't understand the deep meaning of his words, so he echoed: "Senior is right, opportunity is a thing that comes and goes suddenly, is elusive, you only know when you get it, and are confused when you don't."

"You only know when you get it, and are confused when you don't!" Fire Crow Daoist's eyes lit up when he heard this, muttering to himself, as if he had realized something.

After another ten days or so, the two demon beasts finally woke up. Although they had not completely digested the Chi Hou's inner core and blood essence, their strength had increased by more than 20%. And Ape Twelve's headache became even more severe.

After more than twenty days of recuperation, Ape Thirteen's strength had also recovered greatly. So, on this day at Chenshi, the two men and three beasts descended to the bottom of the mountain stream and entered the underground from the black cave.

First, there was a very long tunnel, less than two zhang high, pitch black, silent, and filled with Yin and cold air.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was exploring the way in front. No matter how dark the place, it was like daytime for it.

After walking for four or five li, some dim yellow light appeared in front of them, indicating that the tunnel had reached its end, connecting to a brightly lit area.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was the first to rush out of the tunnel and enter that area. After two breaths, a squeaking sound came.

"The front is the Earth Abyss! I didn't see any Yin Fiend Flying Zombies." Ape Twelve had been here once before and was familiar with the road, so he was the first to walk out of the tunnel.

Zhang Yuanjing, Fire Crow Daoist, and Ape Thirteen followed closely behind, exiting the tunnel and entering a dim space.

On both sides were still mountain walls, and above was soil, but they were far apart, about thirty or forty zhang.

Below was cyan-black soil, the so-called Nether Soil, which extended forward and disappeared into the dim light, making it impossible to see the end.

The temperature here was much lower than in the tunnel. Zhang Yuanjing's cultivation base was the lowest, so he had to use his magic power to resist in order to walk normally.

At this time, there was no spiritual energy in the air, only faint turbid air, which was quite mixed. It didn't seem to come from the earth veins, but was more likely formed by the continuous accumulation of Yin and death energy due to the special environment here.

This formed a great suppression on the two men and two beasts, and their strength was invisibly reduced by 20-30%.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was still exploring the way in front, and the two men and two apes followed.

After walking for several li, the sound of rushing water appeared on the right side. Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Daoist leaned over and saw that a river four or five zhang wide had appeared between the mountain wall and the Nether Soil. The river water was black and yellow, and the current was rushing forward.

"It looks a lot like the legendary Yellow Springs Water?" Fire Crow Daoist said with a shocked expression.

"Senior is talking about the Yellow Springs of the Underworld?" Zhang Yuanjing also found it unbelievable.

The so-called Underworld, Yellow Springs, etc., were just legends among mortals. Between heaven and earth, whether it was a Nether Ghost, a Yin Fiend, or a Zombie, it was nothing more than a remnant soul and strange spirit absorbing turbid air to be born as a demonic creature. It was just different from a demonic cultivator. These demonic creatures were born naturally and usually only appeared in specific environments.

The so-called Underworld was another world for the human world, existing in the legends of most mortal countries, but cultivators scoffed at it.

"This water has extremely strong corrosive power, and it also has a subtle suction force on the divine soul, which is very similar to the characteristics of the legendary Yellow Springs Water." Fire Crow Daoist said with a solemn expression, "If there are natural treasures born in this place, I'm afraid they are also irrigated by this water. It will not be easy for cultivators or demon beasts to refine them!"

Fire Crow Daoist spoke euphemistically, but the meaning was very clear. Ape Twelve also understood what he meant, but just nodded and didn't say anything.

Ape Thirteen asked anxiously: "Yuanjing, is what Fire Crow Daoist said true? Will my grandpa be in danger if he swallows that Nether Soul Grass?"

"This place is very strange, it should be a place where the turbid energy of heaven and earth gathers. If demon beasts take the strange medicine produced inside, there will definitely be danger." Zhang Yuanjing understood Fire Crow Daoist's intention to remind him, and naturally would not comfort him with false words, but told him the truth. "Of course, since the Chi Hou dared to swallow it, it means that there is still a possibility of success."

Ape Thirteen's ugly face showed a worried expression, and he squeaked and squeaked a few words to Ape Twelve, but Ape Twelve just shook his head and refused.

"Yuanjing, I asked Grandpa to take the Yishen Pill, but he still refuses. Can you persuade him?" Ape Thirteen transmitted his voice again.

"Brother Ape, Clan Leader Ape has his persistence, don't force him. Moreover, we haven't seen the actual object of the Nether Soul Grass yet, so don't make wild guesses."

It wasn't that Zhang Yuanjing was reluctant to part with a few Yishen Pills, but he was worried that only high-grade pills would work for Ape Twelve's cultivation base.

When Ape Thirteen broke through, he not only took two high-grade pills, but also almost sucked his divine soul power dry. How many high-grade pills would Ape Twelve need? This was hard to say.

The probability of producing high-grade pills was less than 10%, and he didn't have time to refine a large number of Yishen Pills now.

The two men and three beasts had their own thoughts and followed the water forward.

The road was lower in the back and higher in the front, with a small angle of inclination, but it could be clearly felt that it was going underground. The further they went, the more open the mountain became, and the mountain walls on both sides continued to recede, gradually leaving only a vague outline.

After walking for about thirty or forty li, the black and yellow water beside them drilled into the ground, and even the sound of water could not be heard. In front of them was only the boundless cyan-black Nether Soil. Cold air emerged from the ground, one strand after another, condensing a thin layer of light yellow frost on the surface of the soil.

The previously clearly visible soil layer above was gone, and the sky was filled with light yellow gas, the thickness of which was unknown. Sometimes it felt like it was right above their heads, and sometimes it felt very distant and elusive, as if they had entered another world.

The dim yellow light in this space was emitted from this light yellow gas.

Fire Crow raised his head and looked for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "The above is a bit strange, it's best not to fly into the air!"

Zhang Yuanjing had seen the Void Demon World, so he didn't find the scene strange. Hearing this, he nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior, this junior understands!"
