Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Outside the Dragon King Palace, the lights pierced through the night, spilling across the vast mountain range.

Fire Crow Taoist stepped out of the palace gate, exiting the great array and arriving at the plaza outside. He activated his divine sense and swept it in all directions.

The Golden Clam Palace's cultivator, suspected to be a Core Formation cultivator from the Profound Sky Sect, remained still, blending in with a group of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, calmly drinking wine. Even when Fire Crow Taoist's divine sense swept over him, he showed no reaction.

In another magnificent palace, a plain-looking, middle-aged Core Formation Initial Stage cultivator wearing a fiery red robe was talking to several Foundation Establishment cultivators, a smile on his face. This was the person who had initially examined his and Zhang Yuanjing's cultivation.

However, when Fire Crow Taoist's divine sense swept over him, his expression changed drastically. He immediately walked out of the hall, soared into the sky on his sword, and rushed towards the Dragon King Palace.

Above the palace complex, hidden in the dark mountains and forests, a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator and a Core Formation Middle Stage cultivator were quietly approaching the brightly lit palace below.

When Fire Crow Taoist appeared outside the Dragon King Palace, they paused slightly, exchanged a few words, and then leaped into the air, no longer concealing their movements, and sped towards this place on their flying swords.

At the foot of the mountain, a cultivator shrouded in a black robe had arrived unnoticed. His aura was pure and profound, his realm at the Core Formation Initial Stage.

He noticed the movements of the Core Formation cultivators in the mountain and revealed a suspicious look in his eyes. Then, after seemingly communicating with someone for a moment, he flew up and stood on the crown of a tall tree, holding back.

The red-robed Taoist was the first to arrive. He naturally knew that the enemy he faced was a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator, but only when he got closer and carefully examined the aura did he realize the depth of his cultivation. He thought to himself that no wonder this person could escape from Elder Qin's hands.

But where were Elder Qin and the others? On his way here, he sent spiritual jade messages to the Water Dragon King several times, but received no response. He felt uneasy, but he dared not not come.

"Who are you? My Two Dragons Mountain is a subsidiary of the Purple Cloud Sect. Don't you even bother to inquire before daring to act presumptuously here!" the red-robed Taoist shouted angrily.

Taken aback by his confident question, Fire Crow Taoist was first stunned, then realized that this person was just spouting nonsense, trying to confuse the issue and delay for time. He immediately burst into laughter: "Who are you? Two Dragons Mountain only has two Core Formation cultivators. You wouldn't happen to be the famous Fire Dragon King, would you!"

This was also blatant lying. Not to mention the four Core Formation cultivators who had been killed, there were two Core Formation cultivators rushing over from the mountains and forests thirty miles away, about to arrive.

Fire Crow Taoist wanted to lure those two over and destroy them together. He was worried that acting too early would scare them away, so he simply went along with this person's nonsense.

The red-robed Taoist was also surprised, but lacking sufficient strength, he dared not attack first. He was eager to say a few more words to buy time until his two Core Formation companions arrived, so he vaguely said, "I am the Fire Dragon King. What have you done to my second brother? And where are the honored guests in my palace, Elder Qin Feng, a disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect's Nascent Soul True Lord?"

"Elder of the Purple Cloud Sect? Fellow Taoist must be joking!" Fire Crow Taoist laughed, "The Purple Cloud Sect is at least twenty million miles away from here. Isn't that a bit too much interference? Where exactly did you come from, and why are you causing trouble near the Profound Sky Sect? Speak carefully. If there's a valid reason, considering your difficult cultivation, I can ask the elders of my sect to spare your life."

Seeing that the red-faced old Taoist was avoiding the important points, the Fire Dragon King felt even more worried. Elder Qin's background was extraordinary. If something happened to him, the lives of these few people would be in danger.

He hurriedly asked, "Where is Elder Qin? He just summoned you to the Dragon King Palace. Why did only you come out? Where are the others?"

Fire Crow Taoist didn't believe that this so-called "Elder Qin" was from the Purple Cloud Sect, but from the Fire Dragon King's disarray and the Water Dragon King's previous panic, it was not difficult to know that "Elder Qin" was an extremely important figure.

He was originally just a rogue cultivator, and he usually treated such cultivators with backgrounds with courtesy, never tearing face unless necessary. But now that he was determined to stand with Zhang Yuanjing, he didn't care where this "Elder Qin" came from or what his identity was, as long as he wasn't a cultivator from the Profound Sky Sect.

So he said nonchalantly, "Where else could they be? They're all dead."

"You! Nonsense!" The Fire Dragon King was both shocked and frightened, but he dared not ignore it and turn to flee. He said with a fierce expression, "If anything happens to Elder Qin, the Purple Cloud Sect will never let you go!"

At this moment, the two Core Formation reinforcements were only a dozen miles away. Fire Crow Taoist was too lazy to waste any more words. He summoned the Black Iron Gourd, released a ten-foot-long Fire Crow, and attacked.

The Fire Dragon King also cultivated fire techniques, manipulating two long swords shaped like flying dragons, stirring each other and releasing fire like knives, trying to maneuver with Fire Crow Taoist.

However, Fire Crow Taoist had been immersed in the art of controlling fire all his life. After a few exchanges, he understood the changes in his fire techniques, predicted his moves, and forced the Fire Dragon King to confront him head-on twice. The Fire Dragon King immediately suffered a great loss.

Seeing the critical situation, and that the two reinforcements would arrive in a few more breaths, the Fire Dragon King had no choice but to reluctantly use a high-grade intermediate Diamond Talisman that he had treasured for many years, relying on the power of diamond to resist the Myriad Beast True Fire. Then, he sacrificed a bamboo branch-shaped flying magic weapon, fully manipulated it, and only wandered around to dodge, occasionally feigning an attack to prevent Fire Crow Taoist from chasing him recklessly.

The clash between the two immediately caused a commotion, with flames soaring into the sky. Apart from the one in the Golden Clam Palace, even the black-robed cultivator who had stopped at the foot of the mountain stretched his neck and looked towards this place.

As for those low-level cultivators and thousands of mortals, they were first silent, then noisy. Some alert ones hurriedly left the hall to investigate, some sensitive ones quietly slipped away, some were uncertain and hid in the hall, daring not to move, and some daring bandits took the opportunity to sneak into other halls to search for treasures.

At this time, the Core Formation Late Stage cultivator and the Middle Stage cultivator finally arrived. Without saying much, they each sacrificed their magic weapons and attacked Fire Crow Taoist.

The Core Formation Late Stage cultivator was a skinny old man with two fish-like eyes bulging outwards, which were very terrifying. His aura was also strangely changing, not like someone from a proper background. The magic weapon he controlled was a black banner with a blood-colored skull painted on it. There were two blue dots in the eye sockets, emitting a chilling air.

This person manipulated the black banner, constantly releasing that cold air to clash with Fire Crow Taoist's Myriad Beast True Fire. For a time, they were evenly matched.

The Core Formation Middle Stage cultivator was a young man of medium stature with a gloomy expression. He looked no more than twenty or thirty years old, but his face was pale and bloodless.

The magic weapon he used was a bone sword. When flying, it constantly spread green smoke. This smoke was also strange, not afraid of fire. It still gathered and did not disperse under the cover of Fire Crow Taoist's Myriad Beast True Fire.
