Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The middle-aged cultivator entered the deep valley cautiously, taking each step with utmost care.

Named Yu Lingcong, he was a disciple of a Nascent Soul True Person from the Thousand Swords Sect. Although only at the early Core Formation realm, his cultivation was profound, his experience rich, and he had his own way of discerning things and acting.

He was certain that this place was a forbidden area, not based on subjective conjecture or stubbornness, but on conclusions drawn after thorough reconnaissance.

Forbidden areas in the world are all caused by anomalies in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and therefore have suddenness. Just because it wasn't there yesterday doesn't mean it can't be there today.

Forbidden areas and formations have many similarities, but the most fundamental difference is that forbidden areas are formed naturally, without any artificial traces, while formations must have formation devices, and once the formation devices are activated, their aura will inevitably be difficult to conceal.

What this person knew was the common knowledge of setting up formations.

However, the Qian Yuan Eight Gates Formation set up by Liu Yuanqing was different from ordinary ones.

The biggest characteristic of the Eight Gates Formation is the overlapping of eight formations. In the same space, eight kinds of formations are not arranged in parallel, but superimposed together, and the formation devices are hidden under the innermost layer of the formation. It is impossible to detect their aura fluctuations simply by reconnaissance from the outside.

The dense fog in the valley is not entirely produced by the mist rocks; a large part of it is created by the Soul Separation Formation within the Eight Gates Formation.

This formation is the essence of the Xuan Tian Sect's Qian Yuan Eight Gates Formation. It only blocks divine consciousness and does not isolate spiritual power, so it is very similar to a forbidden area, easily causing people to misunderstand, and trapping them in the formation without their knowledge.

Within the Xuan Tian Sect, only Nascent Soul True Persons and the Sect Leader can wield this formation.

Liu Yuanqing being able to carry this formation shows how much Tong Tianfu loves and expects from him.

Yu Lingcong walked to a vast, deep forest in the valley, and with just his hearing, he could hear the breathing of a demon beast.

He sent a sound transmission to his senior brother, Ke Hui, and then pointed at the five emerald flying swords swirling around him. The five swords split the dense fog and flew into the forest, emitting green light from time to time, illuminating the forest.

Sure enough, a black lion-shaped demon beast was lying under a large tree as thick as a well, panting and vigorously inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy. It seemed to be performing some kind of cultivation.

However, he did not find any mysterious places in the forest, nor did he discover the source of the spiritual energy disorder here.

In an instant, without thinking much, he controlled the five flying swords to directly attack the beast.

He himself also took advantage of the green light, bypassed the branches, entered the forest, and continued to approach the beast.

The Green-Eyed Suanni Beast moved like a rabbit, relying on its agile escape technique to circle around the forest to avoid the flying swords. For a time, Yu Lingcong was helpless.

Annoyed, he constantly changed the hand seals, and substantial killing intent sprayed out from the swords, instantly felling more than a dozen large trees, making a mess in the forest, which was even more conducive for the Green-Eyed Suanni Beast to hide.

Taking advantage of the piled-up branches and leaves for cover, the Green-Eyed Suanni Beast suddenly jumped out from below and launched a surprise attack on Yu Lingcong.

Yu Lingcong was naturally prepared. With a wave of his hand, a Bibo Talisman was slapped out, constructing a wall of water waves in front of him, isolating the Green-Eyed Suanni Beast, and even absorbing all the poisonous smoke it released.

After a few rounds of fighting between the man and the beast, the surrounding spiritual power suddenly changed, and the entire space seemed to be drawn away from the world.

And the original forest completely disappeared into the mist in an instant.

Yu Lingcong was shocked and used his divine consciousness to probe, but the mist still stripped away his divine consciousness, and he could not sense anything.

Besides the mist and the hard ground under his feet, this place became a vast expanse of white, with nothing to be seen.

At this time, he understood that this place was not a forbidden area, but a formation.

He was a little disappointed, but not panicked. If it were a powerful enemy, they would not use such complicated means, such as luring with demon beasts, creating fog and setting up formations, and concealing everything.

He was not alone; there were three other Core Formation stage cultivators behind him. What was there to fear?

He took out a palm-sized round green leaf from his storage bracelet, gently blew on it, and the leaf shook twice and quickly turned into a piece of armor.

He put on this armor and guided the five swords like fireflies, swirling and shining, illuminating the surroundings.

In a trance, an old Taoist walked up to him.

He was startled, then calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "Yu Tianwan?"

The old Taoist made a bow and smiled, "This old Taoist greets Fellow Daoist."

"It really is you!" Yu Lingcong's heart sank, knowing that it would be difficult to end well today. "I wonder how many people your sect has sent this time?"

Yu Tianwan said, "Always more people than you. Fellow Daoist, there is no need to probe any further; you should know that you have no chance to transmit the information."

Yu Lingcong smiled dumbly, "Yu was careless, and this calamity is deserved. However, even if you succeed here, you cannot reverse the situation."

Yu Tianwan stopped talking nonsense with him. He pointed his right hand, and his natal magic weapon, the Frost Sword, flew out and shot towards Yu Lingcong.

Yu Lingcong raised his hand and pinched several times in succession. Three of the five flying swords went forward to meet the Frost Sword, while the other two swords slashed towards Yu Tianwan.

Yu Tianwan sacrificed a small silver shield, protecting it in front of him, and threw out a green vine, flying straight towards Yu Lingcong.

Yu Lingcong recognized the aura of this vine, and his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly took out the remaining middle-grade Wind Riding Talisman and slapped it on his waist, then used his escape technique to dodge the vine.

He calculated in his mind that the Xuan Tian Sect's attack this time was mostly two or three people, planning to use the formation to lure one or two cultivators into the formation and then kill them.

Now that they had four people, the Xuan Tian Sect cultivators could only let Yu Tianwan, who was at the Core Formation stage, kill him first, and then deal with the remaining three.

Therefore, he only needed to delay for some time, and he could wait for the rescue of Senior Brother Ke and the two, Chi and Bian.

Yu Tianwan sneered coldly. This Yu Lingcong was a Thousand Swords Sect cultivator and knew a lot about Huanjian Mountain, so he had to be captured alive. This was also the reason why he had to take action personally.

He allowed the Soul Binding Vine to chase after Yu Lingcong like a maggot attached to a bone. He changed the hand seals and controlled the Frost Sword to release icy sword energy, freezing the surrounding space.

After a few breaths, the speed of the three green swords entangled with the Frost Sword quickly decreased.

Realizing something was wrong, Yu Lingcong used a magic formula to guide the three swords back, and then directed the other two swords to entangle the Frost Sword.

At the same time, he poured mana into the retrieved three swords, intending to quickly remove the icy sword energy on them.

Yu Tianwan ignored the two swords and controlled the Frost Sword to directly slash at Yu Lingcong.

Although Yu Lingcong's escape technique was strong, the space in this Soul Separation Formation was not large, and it suppressed the soul, so his escape technique could not be fully utilized.

As time passed, the formation remained unchanged, and no one bombarded the formation from the outside. Yu Lingcong's face finally changed.

He retrieved the other two swords, combined them with the three swords beside him, quickly cast a magic formula, and used the sect's unique skill, "Sword Shadow Escape."

In an instant, he disappeared into the mist.

Yu Tianwan had expected this. The magic power of his whole body surged towards the Frost Sword. The silver flying sword suddenly glowed brightly, and the temperature within a dozen feet around it dropped sharply, and the whole area was sealed by the power of freezing.

As a Core Formation cultivator from the Thousand Swords Sect, Yu Lingcong also knew something about Yu Tianwan.

During his concealment, he had already moved to the periphery, away from Yu Tianwan. Therefore, Yu Tianwan's move "Freezing Space" completely failed.

However, what Yu Lingcong did not expect was that this space suddenly changed, becoming extremely narrow.

Before he could react, Yu Tianwan shouted softly, and the Frost Sword shook violently. The surrounding freezing energy suddenly exploded, blasting him out of his hiding place.

Yu Lingcong's face was pale, bloodstains were everywhere on his chest and abdomen. As soon as he landed, he was tightly bound by Yu Tianwan's Soul Binding Vine, and he could no longer move.
