Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Cultivators have always relied on spiritual energy or spirit stones for cultivation. The five elements are all mixed together in chaos, requiring the use of specific techniques to absorb the necessary components and improve cultivation.

The greatest characteristic of the unified five elements is their stability and gentleness. Singular elemental spiritual energies, such as metal or fire, also exist in certain special regions, forming metal or fire spirit stones.

However, singular elemental spiritual energy is extremely pure due to its simplicity. The same amount of spiritual energy contains ten times the power of the unified five elements. If cultivators directly introduce it into their bodies for cultivation, it will exert immense pressure on their meridians and dantian. If they fail to control the amount absorbed, it could easily damage their foundation or even lead to cultivation deviation.

Nevertheless, it is quite practical for refining tools, setting up arrays, and crafting talismans. Of course, it also severely tests one's skill.

Zhang Yuanjing ventured deeper into the cave, observing the various elemental spiritual energies wandering along the cave walls, and was secretly astonished.

The singular elemental spiritual energy here was not very pure, seemingly containing impure elements, making it extremely unstable. Moreover, there was also turbid energy mixed within, causing various spiritual energies to clash with each other, resulting in occasional explosions.

In a slightly wider area, Zhang Yuanjing stopped and said to the Fire Crow Daoist behind him, "Senior, this place is quite dangerous. Junior Brother Yuan and the others should stay here and not go any further. I will go with you to investigate ahead."

The Fire Crow Daoist nodded solemnly and said to Yuan Zhilin, "Take good care of everyone and don't be reckless. Especially don't touch these wandering spiritual energies. Wait for your Senior Brother Zhang and me to find the source before making any plans."

Yuan Zhilin did not dare to neglect his duty and quickly replied with a serious expression, "Master, don't worry, I will take good care of the junior disciples."

Zhang Yuanjing used the Earth Control Technique to condense armor with the power of thick earth, while the Fire Crow Daoist used crimson feathers to protect himself. Enduring the increasingly violent air, they slowly advanced. After another hundred zhang, they were finally blocked by an extremely violent space, and dared not go any further.

Zhang Yuanjing released his divine sense to investigate the situation ahead, but it was blocked by the violent gas. Listening carefully, the sound of explosions echoed incessantly from the depths of the cave, indicating many dangerous places ahead, and the situation deeper inside was still unknown.

He shook his head, "Senior, this level of danger cannot be confronted by Core Formation cultivators."

The Fire Crow Daoist asked doubtfully, "If Du Xiangyuan has been here before, how could he have passed through this cave passage?"

Zhang Yuanjing was stunned, then said, "Senior is right. In that case, there must be some mystery here, or perhaps, at certain times, these violent gases will disappear on their own."

The Fire Crow Daoist obviously held the same view and said, "Why don't we go outside the cave and wait there? It would be safer."

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, please lead everyone out of the cave first. I have the Earth Escape Technique to protect myself and can still ensure my safety. This place is very peculiar. If I can witness its changes with my own eyes, I might be able to comprehend the principles within. Moreover, I also have some methods that I want to try to see if I can deal with these violent spiritual energies."

The Fire Crow Daoist nodded, "Then Yuanjing, be careful. It would be good to obtain an opportunity, but it doesn't matter if you don't. There's no need to risk it."

"Don't worry, Senior, I won't take any risks!"

About half a cup of tea's time later, the Fire Crow Daoist transmitted a message to him, saying that he had already led everyone back to the stone mountain from the space passage.

Without any worries, Zhang Yuanjing summoned the Origin Stone. This stone had been upgraded to the second level, and its spirituality had greatly increased. It had been restless in his dantian just now. He didn't understand why, and when he communicated with it through his divine sense, the stone couldn't clearly express its thoughts, so he had no choice but to send the Fire Crow Daoist away and let it come out and act on its own.

As soon as the stone appeared, it immediately began to grow larger, until it was two zhang in size, allowing the various gases in the air to wash over it. It jumped and trembled in the explosions from time to time, and occasionally triggered a trace of terrifying lightning power, scaring Zhang Yuanjing into quickly hiding behind it.

As an early-stage Core Formation cultivator, he was basically like paper in front of this kind of lightning power.

At this moment, the Origin Stone began to rotate, faster and faster, quickly driving the surrounding gas to rotate together. After an hour, the five elements of gas and the rich turbid gas within a zhang radius were cleared, and the gas from further away slowly filled in.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuanjing suddenly understood that the Thick Earth Transformation Cauldron claimed that the Origin Stone advanced by devouring heaven and earth spiritual objects. Weren't these mutated spiritual energies also heaven and earth spiritual objects!

The Origin Stone didn't stop in place, but moved forward while rotating. However, the speed was very slow. At this rate, he didn't know how long it would take to reach the bottom of the cave.

Zhang Yuanjing had a sudden inspiration. Since the Origin Stone could devour these mutated spiritual energies, why couldn't he? Ordinary cultivators couldn't directly absorb them because their meridians weren't strong enough. However, he had taken the Golden Scale Fruit in the past, and he had also practiced the Thick Earth Technique for many years, so his meridians were exceptionally strong and might be able to resist the heavy pressure of singular elemental spiritual energy.

Of course, his real confidence lay in the special nature of his technique and the Devouring Technique. His technique required the introduction of wood spiritual energy to detonate fire spiritual energy, without the need for his meridians and dantian to endure the pressure of singular elemental spiritual energy for a long time. The Devouring Technique could ensure that the impure energy was refined by the power of thick earth after entering the meridians.

With this thought in mind, he searched for a wisp of tiny wood elemental spiritual energy floating in the air. With a guidance of his divine sense, he hooked it over and detonated the fire spiritual energy in his meridians, obtaining a wisp of thick earth power.

After repeating this several times, everything went smoothly, making Zhang Yuanjing very happy. But after a while, he stopped trying, because although there was a lot of wood elemental spiritual energy, there was not much of the unified five elements spiritual energy in his meridians.

There was a lot of singular elemental spiritual energy in this cave, but there was less of the unified five elements spiritual energy. Unless he cultivated with spirit stones, he would have no way to continue.

As for directly introducing singular elemental water, fire, or earth spiritual energy, that would undoubtedly be tantamount to suicide. Once the several singular elemental spiritual energies clashed, they could instantly ravage his meridians into a mess.

He decided to investigate the situation in the cave before deciding whether to cultivate here with spirit stones.

The further he went, the denser the power of the five elements and the turbid energy became, and the Origin Stone's speed slowed down.

The terrain ahead suddenly changed. The space in the cave suddenly expanded, and a large cave with a radius of a hundred zhang appeared before Zhang Yuanjing's eyes. The sound of explosions inside was like thunder, rumbling non-stop. From time to time, the five elements of energy rushed out of the giant cave into the cave passage, like layers of sea waves, crashing the Origin Stone and him up and down.

Below the giant cave, there seemed to be wind blowing upwards.

Zhang Yuanjing moved slightly closer to the place where the cave passage connected to the giant cave, looked down, and couldn't help but gasp.

It was pitch black below, and he couldn't see the bottom at all. Only gusts of gentle wind blew up from below, pushing various spiritual energies to vibrate like waves, making a whirring sound.

And in this gentle wind that blew up, he clearly sensed the fluctuations of the power of nothingness.
