Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Twelve days later, Yu Tianwan and Liu Yuanqing returned to Erlong Mountain, covered in dust.

Before their return, Fire Crow Taoist found a prosperous secular kingdom tens of thousands of miles north of Erlong Mountain and had Yuan Zhilin and others live in seclusion there, trying not to reveal their identities as cultivators.

As for the rogue cultivators captured at Erlong Mountain, Xiao Yousong led a few of his men to imprison them in a secret valley more than a hundred thousand miles to the west. This place was one of his lairs.

The restrictions in the bodies of this person and his few Foundation Establishment subordinates were still in place, and Fire Crow Taoist had specially reinforced them, waiting until after the surprise attack on Huanjian Mountain to remove them.

To avoid delays, leakage of information, and its transmission back to Huanjian Mountain, Liu Yuanqing used a mid-grade Wind Control Chariot to travel.

This chariot could travel two hundred thousand miles a day, consuming thirty mid-grade spirit stones per day. It was given to him by Tong Tianfu to save his life.

Once this chariot was up to speed, even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't catch up. Of course, the consumption was also daunting.

Huanjian Mountain was located tens of millions of miles east and south of Tianque Mountain and was the main base for the Thousand Swords Sect's invasion of the Xuantian Sect this time, facing the Xuantian Sect's station at Guiyuan Peak from afar.

The straight-line distance from Erlong Mountain to Huanjian Mountain was about ten million miles. To avoid the eyes and ears of the Thousand Swords Sect, they needed to detour through the desolate area near the wasteland in the southeast, adding another two to three million miles to the journey, which would take more than two months.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered low-level cultivators, but the mid-grade Wind Control Chariot flashed past, giving them no chance to identify it.

Sixty days later, the Wind Control Chariot arrived one million miles southwest of Huanjian Mountain. To avoid alarming the enemy, the three switched to flying on their swords.

After another twenty days, they arrived at a mountain range ten thousand miles south of Huanjian Mountain. This place was very close to Huanjian Mountain, and they could often see Foundation Establishment cultivators flying past.

Because of its limited strength, Guiyuan Peak could only shrink its defenses to protect the dozen or so medium-sized sects behind it. Therefore, its intelligence network was weak, and it could not send strong forces to scout the enemy camp, so it did not know much about the enemy situation at Huanjian Mountain.

They only knew that the leader was named Ge Yang, also a Nascent Soul disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect, who already had a late-stage Core Formation cultivation. There were also several Core Formation cultivators, but the specific number and cultivation were unknown.

Huanjian Mountain was nearly twenty million miles away from the Thousand Swords Sect. Therefore, as long as they eliminated the forces here, the Thousand Swords Sect would not be able to quickly provide support, and its supported peripheral forces would naturally collapse without a leader.

Moreover, Zhang Yuanjing also knew that if Huanjian Mountain was defeated, the Thousand Swords Sect would definitely not send forces to invade the Xuantian Sect in the short term, because their focus would inevitably shift to Xuanyin Mountain.

Therefore, this battle was extremely important for alleviating the tense situation of the Xuantian Sect.

The four sat on the ground.

Liu Yuanqing said, "After several battles, Guiyuan Peak estimates that the Thousand Swords Sect has sent about fifteen Core Formation cultivators this time, with at least ten of them leading vassal cultivators to infiltrate our Xuantian Sect's affiliated forces.

There are at most five direct line Core Formation cultivators from the Thousand Swords Sect stationed in Huanjian Mountain, but if we include the Core Formation cultivators from the affiliated sects, it's hard to say how many Core Formation cultivators there are in Huanjian Mountain. Senior Brother Yuanjing, Senior Fire Crow, do you have any good strategies for a surprise attack on Huanjian Mountain?"

Zhang Yuanjing glanced at Fire Crow Taoist, seeing that his expression was calm and he had no intention of speaking, so he said, "The key to going to Huanjian Mountain is still the strength at the late-stage Core Formation level. If the opponent only has one late-stage cultivator, Ge Yang, then we are at least invincible. If the opponent has two late-stage cultivators, it will be difficult to say."

Liu Yuanqing nodded and said, "Senior Brother Yuanjing means that we should scout first?"

Zhang Yuanjing said, "Without knowing the enemy's situation, rushing up the mountain like this will make it difficult to predict success or failure."

Liu Yuanqing looked at Yu Tianwan and asked, "What are Senior Uncle Yu's plans?"

Yu Tianwan said, "In this old Taoist's opinion, there are only three paths: First, we can directly kill our way to the mountain and catch them off guard. After all, although we destroyed Mo Bamboo Mountain Villa and cut off the fastest channel for news to spread, so many rogue cultivators escaped from Erlong Mountain, and there is a high possibility that the news will be transmitted. The sooner we attack, the better.

Second, we can intercept and kill their Core Formation cultivators near Huanjian Mountain to lure the snake out of its hole, and then decide whether to attack or retreat depending on the situation.

Third, we can capture a Core Formation cultivator, ask about the situation in the mountain, and then decide whether to advance or retreat."

Liu Yuanqing pondered for a moment, then asked, "Which path does Senior Uncle Yu choose?"

Yu Tianwan said, "The second one. The first one is too rash. The third one is quite troublesome and may alarm the enemy. The second one is safer and may inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

Liu Yuanqing was silent, as if weighing the pros and cons.

The second method looked good, but it also had many drawbacks. Ambushing for reinforcements near Huanjian Mountain would not succeed if the reinforcements did not come, or if there were too many reinforcements.

If Ge Yang was a prudent person, he could completely stand still, mobilize manpower from other places, and then calmly encircle and suppress them. At that time, they would have no choice but to retreat.

Just to kill one of the opponent's Core Formation cultivators, they would expose their hidden strength to the opponent. It seemed like a gain, but in reality, they suffered a great loss.

Fire Crow Taoist coughed lightly and said, "Two elders, in fact, the third method can be used."

Liu Yuanqing looked at Fire Crow Taoist seriously and said, "Please tell me the details, Senior."

Fire Crow Taoist said, "The third method I mentioned actually includes the second method.

Yuanjing has a spirit beast named Bijing Suanni Beast, which is extremely intelligent and good at dispelling illusions, escaping, and illusions. This beast can be used to appear near Huanjian Mountain to attract the Core Formation cultivators in the mountain to come out, preferably to lure them into the formation, so that they can be prevented from transmitting messages.

If only one person comes, we can naturally capture him, and then use the Suanni Beast's illusion to interrogate the situation in the mountain. If two, three, or even more people come, it will be equivalent to luring the snake out of its hole, and we can wipe them out in one fell swoop. Then, a surprise attack on Huanjian Mountain will naturally be successful."

Liu Yuanqing was overjoyed: "Senior Brother Yuanjing, do you really have such a magical spirit beast?"

Zhang Yuanjing nodded and said, "The Bijing Suanni Beast is indeed as Senior Fire Crow said, it has this talent. However, it is not my spirit beast, it can only be said that it is like the Golden-backed Giant Ape, it is my combat partner."

Strictly speaking, the Bijing Suanni Beast was not Zhang Yuanjing's combat partner either, because it voluntarily followed Ape Thirteen.

With its intelligence, it was actually very difficult for any cultivator to take it as a spirit beast. Even if a Nascent Soul True Lord took action and forcibly branded a divine soul mark, it would depend on whether it was willing to submit.

If it was unwilling, it could completely destroy its intelligence in resistance and become a muddle-headed demon beast.

Liu Yuanqing nodded solemnly: "Senior Brother, don't worry, Yuanqing knows how to treat this beast." He looked at Yu Tianwan again and asked, "Senior Uncle Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Tianwan said without hesitation: "Since there is such a divine beast, this plan can be used. Can Yuanqing carry usable formation equipment?"

Liu Yuanqing said, "How about the Qianyuan Eight Gates Formation?"

Yu Tianwan laughed loudly: "With this formation, the plan to lure the enemy will surely succeed."
