Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Daoist Master, please release those two. There's indeed been a misunderstanding."

Zhang Xuan said, "We went to Mist Spirit Mountain and saw Zhang Yu and the others. They said you, along with Senior Fire Crow and Senior Golden Ape, had come to Crimson Blood Valley, so we chased after you all the way. It's my good fortune to see you before heading to Candle Shade Valley."

Zhang Yuanjing's heart sank. He asked, "You want to go to Candle Shade Valley?"

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Because the Candle Shade Formula you gave me is the fundamental technique of the Candle God Sect. Anyone who masters this technique is a candidate to become the Sect Leader."

"The Candle God Sect's fundamental technique?"

Zhang Yuanjing was greatly shocked. He couldn't imagine how a demonic cultivation technique obtained from Feng Wujiu, a cultivator from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons, could be related to the Candle God Sect, which was tens of millions of miles away.

If he remembered correctly, this Feng Wujiu was a disciple of Chu Tianxiong, a Core Formation Stage cultivator from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons. How could he possess the fundamental technique of the Candle God Sect!

He looked at Xing Guanghan and said, "Elder Xing, the technique Zhang Xuan is practicing was something I obtained by chance. The place where I found it is at least twenty to thirty million miles from here. And the cultivator who possessed this technique was also a Daoist cultivator. There's no way he could have any connection with the Candle God Sect! How can you be sure that this technique is the fundamental technique of the Candle God Sect?"

Xing Guanghan glanced at Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan said, "Please enlighten me, Elder Xing."

Xing Guanghan then transmitted his voice, saying, "Because I have some connections with the Candle God Sect, I know some things about the sect. The Candle God Sect's fundamental technique is the Candle Shade Formula. According to the sect rules, only those who master the Candle Shade Formula can become the Sect Leader.

"For over a thousand years, since the previous Sect Leader fell, the Candle God Sect has been selecting disciples from various places to cultivate this technique. Our Crimson Blood Valley has also found some talented demonic cultivators and sent them to the Candle Shade Sect's headquarters to cultivate the Candle Shade Formula. That's how I know some of the details, which match Miss Xuan's experience in cultivating the Candle Shade Formula.

"More importantly, the form, style, and materials used in that Candle Shade Formula are all the same as those recorded in the Candle God Sect's scriptures. It's highly likely that it's a copy of the Candle Shade Formula that the Candle God Sect lost a thousand years ago. Therefore, I've judged that the Candle Shade Formula Miss Xuan is cultivating is indeed the Candle God Sect's fundamental technique, the Candle Shade Formula!"

Xing Guanghan's words weren't very long, but they revealed a great deal of secrets.

After listening, Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a long time before transmitting his voice to ask, "The previous Sect Leader of the Candle God Sect fell a thousand years ago. In all this time, no one has been able to master the Candle Shade Formula?"

Xing Guanghan shook his head. "Of course not. The Candle Shade Formula has very high requirements for the soul, making it very difficult to master. But it's not like no one can master it, otherwise the sect would often be without a Sect Leader. The truth is, the demonic cultivator who masters this technique also needs to fuse with the sect's inherited divine beast in order to become the Sect Leader. And fusing with the inherited divine beast has other conditions, which I hear are quite strict. That's why they haven't been able to find a suitable person."

Zhang Yuanjing turned his head to ask Zhang Xuan, "Zhang Xuan, do you want to become the Sect Leader of the Candle God Sect?"

A look of sadness flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes, and she nodded softly. "I want to try. Elder Xing said that if you cultivate the Candle Shade Formula but don't go to the Candle God Sect, you'll never be able to reach the realm after Foundation Establishment."

Zhang Yuanjing didn't know why Zhang Xuan trusted Xing Guanghan so much, and he felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't directly question her.

So, he transmitted his voice to ask Xing Guanghan, "If a demonic cultivator cultivates the Candle Shade Formula but doesn't meet the conditions for fusing with the inherited divine beast, what will be the final result?"

A sharp glint flashed in Xing Guanghan's eyes, and he said decisively, "Miss Xuan will definitely be able to meet the conditions for fusing with the divine beast. Daoist Master Zhang, you don't need to worry about this!"

Zhang Yuanjing didn't believe him. "How can Elder Xing be so sure? If she can't fuse, what will happen to Zhang Xuan?"

Xing Guanghan said, "The difficulty in cultivating the Candle Shade Formula lies in the fact that the soul must be extremely powerful. And fusing with the inherited divine beast requires an even stronger soul. In the past, those selected demonic cultivators, even if they could master the Candle Shade Formula, would take at least forty to fifty years. How long did Miss Xuan take? Thirteen years! What talent is this! How powerful is her soul!

"Every Sect Leader of the Candle God Sect has been a person of extraordinary talent, but no one is stronger than her in this regard! Therefore, I firmly believe that Miss Xuan will definitely be able to fuse with the inherited divine beast and become the new Sect Leader of the Candle God Sect! And once she becomes the Sect Leader, her cultivation will be smooth sailing, and she can directly enter the Transformation Realm of demonic cultivation, obtaining the lifespan and combat power of a Core Formation cultivator."

Zhang Yuanjing was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he realize that the crux of the matter was entirely on him. He was the one who gave her the technique, and her strong soul was due to the Soul Enhancement Pill.

This Candle Shade Formula must be a technique that relies heavily on the soul. The stronger the soul, the faster the cultivation. Moreover, this improvement is progressive. Therefore, after Zhang Xuan took the Soul Enhancement Pill, the speed of her cultivation of the Candle Shade Formula became faster and faster, giving outsiders the impression that she was exceptionally talented and comparable to the Sect Leaders of the past.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, but he also guessed that the so-called fusion with the inherited divine beast would never be as simple as Xing Guanghan said. Otherwise, how could the Candle God Sect not have found a suitable person in a thousand years? There must be danger and complexity involved.

So, he stubbornly asked, "Elder Xing, you still haven't answered me. If she can't fuse, what will happen to Zhang Xuan?"

Xing Guanghan stared at him for a few breaths before smiling. "Daoist Master Zhang, you don't need to worry too much. Demonic cultivators who can cultivate the Candle Shade Formula are all one in ten thousand talents to the Candle God Sect. How could they be abandoned so easily!"

He was still avoiding the important point! Zhang Yuanjing was a little annoyed, knowing that he couldn't get anything out of this person's mouth, so he stopped asking.

Zhang Xuan couldn't hear his voice transmission conversation with Xing Guanghan, but seeing his expression, she seemed to be a little unhappy, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

At the beginning, she was captured by Guan Yinglong. When she heard this person say that he wanted to send her to Candle Shade Valley, she was determined to die rather than obey. Later, Xing Guanghan came and repeatedly persuaded her, explaining in detail the benefits of going to the Candle God Sect, but she still didn't agree.

She just wanted to go to Profound Yin Mountain to see if she could find Zhang Yuanjing. Xing Guanghan told her that the sixty-year Profound Yin Cave herb gathering had ended ten years ago. Those who could come out had naturally come out long ago, and those who hadn't come out must have died in it. But she didn't believe it. She had to go find him herself.

Xing Guanghan had no choice but to try to start with her clansmen. Of course, he didn't dare to use her clansmen to coerce her, because the great opportunity he wanted could only be given to him by the new Sect Leader. Therefore, he could only try to persuade her, not force her.

When they arrived near Crimson Creek Lake, they encountered a fleeing Crimson Cloud Palace cultivator. After inquiring, they learned that two Core Formation cultivators and a golden ape had come here. As soon as Zhang Xuan heard this, she knew that Zhang Yuanjing had returned.

The two rushed to Mist Spirit Mountain, but didn't see Zhang Yuanjing. After asking about the situation, they didn't have time to say a few words to Zhang Yu and Zhang Jun, and rushed here non-stop.

Xing Guanghan was experienced and worldly-wise. How could he not know Zhang Xuan's feelings for Zhang Yuanjing? So, he started from this point and repeatedly persuaded her along the way, finally persuading her to move.

However, these were all her wishful thinking after all, and she didn't know if Zhang Yuanjing would agree. If Zhang Yuanjing firmly disagreed, how would she deal with herself? For a time, her thoughts were chaotic, and she was worried about gains and losses, and she couldn't help but become a little infatuated.
