Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#273 - Chapter 272 The Journey is Difficult
Leaving Dragon Mountain Marsh, they entered the area south of Six Peaks Immortal City. Many cultivators frequented this place, all below the Foundation Establishment stage. Some were heading to the Immortal City, while others planned to hunt demonic beasts in the outer regions of Dragon Mountain Marsh.
Zhang Yuanjing and his group were large and powerful, and most cultivators avoided them from afar when they saw them. If anyone came forward to question them, Liu Jinglong would step forward to answer.
Within ten days, they traveled over a hundred thousand miles at full speed, leaving the Immortal City area and entering a densely populated secular kingdom.
In the so-called Six Sects area, centered around Dragon Mountain Marsh and Yu Mountain Marsh, it could be divided into eastern and western regions.
East of the two mountains, the spiritual energy was scarcer, so there were only two middle-level sects, namely the Qianyang Sect and the Crimson Blood Valley. The Qianyang Sect took fire as its foundation, so it was based on a fire abyss in the northeast, while the Crimson Blood Valley chose a remote place in the southeast to establish its foundation because of its special techniques and its connection with the Candle God Sect. The development of the Three Mountains Seven Caves and the Two Sects Six Factions was also related to this.
West of the two mountains, because it was closer to Xuan Yin Mountain, the spiritual energy was more concentrated, so there were not only four middle-level sects and hundreds of affiliated forces, but also dozens of times more secular kingdoms and mortals.
They traveled through the secular kingdoms mainly to avoid the eyes and ears of cultivators. West of the Immortal City were the Heavy Sword Sect and the Cold Yin Valley, especially the Heavy Sword Sect, which was more powerful.
Having experienced the battle with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect, Zhang Yuanjing became more cautious. He would rather take a longer route and go slower to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. At the same time, traveling in the secular kingdoms could also increase the experience and training of several disciples.
Two years later, they stopped and went, traveling two million miles and entering a range of towering mountains. Initially, the mountains were still covered with vegetation. The further west they went, the more desolate it became, and finally, only stone mountains, deserts, and wastelands remained.
Sitting in the Wind Riding Carriage, looking into the distance, the mountains crawling on the earth were like swimming dragons and fierce beasts, galloping wildly. Under the sunlight, the spine of the mountains showed a purplish-golden color.
Fire Crow Taoist pointed to the northwest and said, "Yuanjing, this is the Purplish-Golden Mountain Range. This mountain is located at the intersection of the edge areas of the three major spiritual acupoints: the Xuantian Sect, the Zixia Sect, and the Xingyue Gate, and is the most barren."
"In the central area of the mountain range, it is said that there are many turbid energy veins or deep caves, which are occupied by some demonic cultivators, demonic beasts, and demonic insects. People have always gone west from the Six Factions area to the Xuantian Sect, passing through the southern section of the Purplish-Golden Mountain Range, and then going north. This route is about five million miles longer, but it is safer because you don't have to pass through the strongholds of those demonic cultivators."
Zhang Yu looked at the desolate mountains in the distance and suddenly thought of her eldest sister. If she didn't go to the Candle God Sect, she would have to stay in this kind of area for many years, dealing with those demonic cultivators whose faces she didn't know, or the ferocious and terrifying demonic beasts and demonic insects. She couldn't help but feel a little more approval for her eldest sister's decision to go to the Candle God Sect.
Zhang Yuanjing asked, "Why are those mountains purplish-golden in color?"
Fire Crow Taoist said, "There are often strong winds in the mountains, carrying turbid air, which blows on the rocks for many years, causing them to change, so they appear like that. If you search carefully, you may be able to find a few usable refining materials, but it is difficult to find high-quality ones."
Zhang Yuanjing nodded: "I see. Then, according to what Senior said, let's turn west and cross this mountain as soon as possible."
There were almost no cultivators in the mountains. The eight people rode in the Wind Riding Carriage, and the two beasts were taken into Zhang Yuanjing's spirit beast pouch. They sped along the way, stopping for half a day every ten days.
Along the way, it was all barren and dim land, which made cultivators feel instinctively depressed. Especially the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely thin, and the exchange of mana inside the body with the outside environment was not smooth, giving people a feeling of fish out of water.
When they reached the middle section, because they passed by several turbid energy caves, the demonic cultivators hiding in them, probably feeling that their strength could be increased in this environment, did not care what level of cultivators were riding in the Wind Riding Carriage, and rushed over to intercept them.
These demonic cultivators were at most in the Foundation Establishment stage. Zhang Yuanjing was too lazy to pay attention to them, and let Yuan Zhilin lead Liu Jinglong, Mei Zhenyi, and Zhang Yu to take turns fighting, and they really killed several batches.
More than three months later, they successfully crossed the Purplish-Golden Mountain Range and returned to the embrace of green mountains and clear waters. Everyone exhaled their depressed air, looked at the scenery in the distance, and felt refreshed.
Ahead was a wilderness with crisscrossing mountains and rivers. Further north was a vast swamp. Beyond the swamp, mountains and plains alternated, and gradually secular kingdoms appeared, but no cultivators were seen.
Two million miles to the north, they saw a majestic peak piercing into the clouds. Spiritual energy floated in the mountain, and various beasts galloped, and it was actually a place with spiritual veins.
On the north side of the mountain peak, in a valley, there were several houses and several fields, planted with some mountain fruits and vegetables. Behind the valley, the sound of water roared, which was a waterfall. In the houses, there were a dozen cultivators, and the one with the highest cultivation was an old man in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Zhang Yuanjing lowered the Wind Riding Carriage and landed directly in the valley.
This movement naturally caused a shock in the valley. A dozen cultivators, led by the old man, each holding spiritual weapons and magic tools, surrounded them.
"Who is coming? How dare you trespass into my Medicine King Valley!" A middle-aged Taoist in the twelfth level of Qi Refining shouted.
Liu Jinglong came out of the Wind Riding Carriage, bowed to the old man in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and said, "My name is Liu, I came from the west, and I am passing by this place. I have come to visit presumptuously, and I have no malice. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist."
When the old man saw that it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had come, he quickly scolded the middle-aged Taoist, "Don't be rude," and then returned a salute to Liu Jinglong, and said politely: "Medicine King Valley is located in a remote place, and it is rare for a fellow Taoist to visit, which is really an honor for the valley. My name is Yin, and I teach disciples here. I rarely see outsiders. If there is any rudeness, please don't blame me, fellow Taoist."
Liu Jinglong smiled and said, "Where, where! It is we who have presumptuously come to the door and disturbed the master. If there is any rudeness, it is we who are rude!"
Although the old man spoke politely, he did not invite Liu Jinglong in, but just said: "The valley is simple, and there is nothing to entertain fellow Taoists with. It is really embarrassing."
Zhang Yuanjing originally heard that this place was Medicine King Valley, and wanted to come forward to ask what kind of spiritual plants were produced, so that he could exchange a few and store them. Unexpectedly, this person rejected people thousands of miles away, so he didn't want to pay attention to it.
Liu Jinglong didn't care, and said: "I am here just to ask fellow Taoist, do you know where there is an Immortal City nearby?"
When the old man heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately pointed to the north and said: "If fellow Taoist goes three or four thousand miles north, you can see a majestic mountain range shaped like a flying wolf. At the westernmost end of that mountain range, there is a mountain ridge, which is the head of the flying wolf, hence the name Wolf Head Mountain. There is an Immortal City in the mountain, which was established by several surrounding sects."
Since Liu Jinglong had asked what he needed, he didn't stay long, exchanged a few polite words with the old man, and returned to the Wind Riding Carriage.
The Wind Riding Carriage rose into the air, and in the surprised and envious eyes of the cultivators in Medicine King Valley, it flew north.
