Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

When encountering bandit cultivators robbing the road, Zhang Yuanjing discovered meteor dust from the attack of the Soul Splitting Cannon, but later, knowing the origin of Two Dragon Mountain, he gave up hope of finding this object and the Void Sky Stone behind it.

However, during the conversation, Huo Zhengkai mentioned that the Water Dragon King, in order to persuade him to become his disciple, boasted that he had discovered traces of the Void Sky Stone and would be able to enter the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

This sounded quite ridiculous, but the claim about discovering traces of the Void Sky Stone might not be entirely fabricated.

Meteor dust was also found in the Fire Dragon King's storage bracelet, though in slightly smaller quantities than the Water Dragon King's.

Apart from that, none of the other Core Formation cultivators on Two Dragon Mountain possessed this object.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but recall that Yu Tianwan and Liu Yuanqing had not asked about this matter at all when interrogating the Second Dragon King and the gaunt old man Zheng You, and after the interrogation, they did not take the two away, but left them to him, saying that they were troubling him to deal with them, but in reality, they were giving him the opportunity to find meteor dust.

The Void Sky Stone was certainly precious, but over the years, the Profound Sky Sect had accumulated some reserves, and if any Core Formation cultivator in the sect could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, they would naturally not hesitate to bestow it.

Therefore, Yu and Liu did not value the Void Sky Stone too much, but intentionally overlooked it, leaving the opportunity to Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Daoist, which could be considered a kind of appeasement.

However, the interrogation of the Second Dragon King and the gaunt old man Zheng You did not go smoothly. These two regarded the meteor dust as a life-saving straw, insisting that Zhang Yuanjing swear not to kill them before they would reveal it.

Zhang Yuanjing was going to make a surprise attack on Sword Washing Mountain, so he naturally couldn't leave these two alive. Once the news leaked, it would be extremely dangerous.

Two days later, Fire Crow Daoist returned. With his help, even though he used ruthless methods of humiliation, the two still stubbornly refused to speak.

After all, they were Core Formation cultivators. Without a Nascent Soul cultivator searching their souls, if they were determined not to speak, there was really no way to make them.

The two discussed for a long time, and Fire Crow Daoist suddenly said, "Yuanjing, that day in the secret room of the Dragon King's Palace, I saw the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast releasing azure light to bewilder that demonic cultivator, which was quite powerful. Why don't we let it try, it might work."

This suggestion made Zhang Yuanjing's eyes light up. The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was proficient in illusions. Even cultivators of the same realm as it would be caught off guard and fall for it. Using it to bewilder the Fire Dragon King might really have an effect.

Therefore, in the Dragon King's Palace, Fire Crow Daoist first used heavy blows to cripple the Fire Dragon King, leaving his body in extreme weakness. Then, the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast enveloped him in azure light, dragging him into an illusion.

At the beginning of falling into the illusion, this person was still vigilant, trying to struggle free.

Unfortunately, his body was weak and he didn't have much mana to use, so he was repeatedly invaded by the illusion and quickly became addicted to it, unable to extricate himself.

So, Fire Crow Daoist took the opportunity to ask about the Void Sky Stone. This person answered every question, and quickly revealed what he knew.

Half an hour later, the two flew to a lake surrounded by mountains.

"It should be here. The lake is very deep, more than a thousand feet, and it does look like a deep pit created by a meteorite impact," Zhang Yuanjing lowered his sword to the surface of the water.

"According to the Fire Dragon King, this lake is only the uppermost section of the meteor pit, and it is unknown how deep it is below, all filled with soil. They have been excavating for more than ten years, and have only dug to a depth of two thousand feet, and I'm afraid they haven't gained much and are finding it difficult to continue digging," Fire Crow Daoist said with a smile.

Zhang Yuanjing laughed heartily: "Although meteor dust is also valuable, it is ultimately only useful for refining tools and does not help with cultivation. It is not surprising that these two have become lazy."

Fire Crow Daoist asked: "Yuanjing, how do you plan to deal with this meteor pit?"

"Let's go down and take a look first."

The two wrapped themselves in mana and plunged into the lake, quickly falling downwards.

The lake water was warm on the surface, cold in the middle, and freezing at the bottom, but it was normal and there was no danger. The bottom of the lake was mostly silt, with occasional giant rocks.

After searching for a quarter of an hour, they found a flat slab of rock about a zhang in diameter in the western part of the lakebed. This was the entrance to the cave where the Second Dragon King had mined meteor dust.

Fire Crow Daoist took out the water-avoiding array device obtained from the Fire Dragon King's storage bracelet and set it up around the rock slab. The two walked into the array, and Fire Crow Daoist dropped the array plate again, activating the array power. In an instant, the surrounding lake water was separated, forming a waterless space.

Zhang Yuanjing grabbed the rock slab and lifted it with force, revealing a hole half a zhang in size below the slab. The space inside was very large, like a spacious hall.

The two jumped into it and immediately felt a warmth all over their bodies. Looking around, they saw warm wind constantly blowing out from the inside of the cave, near the cave wall.

The two walked over quickly and saw hundreds of steps paved with square bricks, extending downwards.

The two followed the steps down and soon arrived at a stone chamber, which was piled with several rocks the size of a foot.

These stones were of various shapes and materials, but they all had one characteristic: they resembled withered tree roots, emitting a strong sense of death, as if their internal essence had been completely devoured by something.

According to the Fire Dragon King, these rocks were the stones in which meteor dust was hidden, and they called them "dead stones."

However, each stone contained very little meteor dust, and some of it had inevitably suffered damage to its spirituality due to being mixed with "dead stones" for many years.

The meteor dust obtained from hundreds of "dead stones" was only a small handful, and very little of it could be used for refining tools.

Those meteor dusts with damaged spirituality were naturally used to refine the bullets for the Soul Splitting Cannon.

On one side of the stone chamber, there was a hole as tall as a person, from which warm wind came.

The two entered the cave, which sloped downwards, occasionally going straight up and down. After going down about a hundred zhang, there was another cave dozens of zhang in diameter, which was also piled with many "dead stones."

The two continued to walk along the cave passage, and every hundred zhang or so, there would be an open cave, and the air became hotter as they went down.

At a thousand zhang, a lava pit appeared below, with flames dancing and hot air boiling, like a furnace. This was also the source of the warm wind above.

The pit dug by the Second Dragon King bypassed this lava pit, and continued downwards from one side.

Walking through the cave at this time, it began to get cold, and the cave walls seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

After another thousand zhang, they reached the end. This was a cave six or seven zhang in size, with mud piled up randomly, as if no one had come here to excavate for a long time.

Zhang Yuanjing said: "Judging from the size of the lakebed, this meteor pit is at least a hundred times larger than the cave, and there must be many more dead stones buried in it. However, to dig them all out, a large number of people are needed."

"The Second Dragon King occupied this place and did not dare to publicize it, so he did not use his subordinates, only the two of them. I'm afraid they won't find the Void Sky Stone even if they dig for another hundred years. Of course, the Void Sky Stone may have completely turned into meteor dust when it fell with the meteorite."

Fire Crow Daoist said: "Yuanjing, how deep do you estimate this meteor pit is?"

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head: "It's hard to say. Judging from the size of the lake surface above, we must dig at least another two thousand zhang. I'll use a magic weapon to explore."

With that, he opened his mouth and spat out the Source Stone, which burrowed into the soil.

Fire Crow Daoist had seen him use the Stone Armor Technique and knew that he had a magic weapon similar to a stone, so he was not surprised. However, he was quite shocked by the function of this magic weapon.

After about half an hour, the Source Stone returned from the soil and burrowed into his dantian.

The idea it conveyed was very vague, but it certainly did not find the Void Sky Stone, because that kind of stone had a unique aura, it was an object from the void, unique to this world, and the easiest to identify.

However, that was all. The Source Stone could not say clearly how deep the meteor pit was, whether it had explored to the bottom, or how many zhang it had descended.

Zhang Yuanjing was helpless, knowing that to find the Void Sky Stone in this place, he either had to gather manpower to dig up the entire lakebed, or wait for the Source Stone to advance again and become more spiritual.

He then said to Fire Crow Daoist: "Senior, this meteor pit is bottomless, and I can't explore it clearly at the moment. Let's wait for the future."
