Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Back then, to avoid going to the Void Demon Space of Mount Shumi, Xie Tianwei didn't hesitate to display the Umbrella Jade, Cauldron Jade, Mountain Jade, and Bell Jade from the newly crafted Seven Jades through various means, to prove to Qi Tianxiang that the opening of Xue Wang's Divine Mausoleum was not a fabrication.

As a result, Xie Tianwei's scheme did succeed, but the Umbrella Jade and Cauldron Jade fell into the hands of Wu Yuankui and Zhang Yuanjing, and were lost in the Mustard Seed Space with their "deaths."

Helpless, Xie Tianwei had to remake the two jades. However, the materials for making such jade pendants were extremely difficult to find. Back then, Xie Tianwei had found the blueprints for making the jade pendants and two peculiar jade stones in Xue Wang Mountain, based on a jade slip left by his deceased master.

After making the Seven Jades, only some scraps of these two jade stones remained. Although he managed to make the Umbrella Jade and Cauldron Jade, they were pieced together, and were incompatible with the other five jades, ultimately preventing the opening of the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum's gate.

Xie Tianwei was furious, and he berated Long Yuanshou and others who had failed to intercept Zhang Yuanjing in Flowing Cloud Immortal City, and kicked them out of his inner circle, leading to their eventual depression and death.

Over the past few decades, Xie Tianwei had resorted to both coercion and enticement, sending twenty or thirty groups of cultivators into Xue Wang Mountain, spending an unknown amount of spirit stones and treasures, but he had never been able to find that peculiar jade again.

Huo Tiantong was also implicated, but after all, he was a Core Formation中期 cultivator and had some status within the Xuan Tian Sect, so Xie Tianwei valued him quite a bit, and reserved the important position of Peak Master of Guiyuan Peak for him.

He pondered for a long time, and suddenly noticed that several people, including Li Tiankan, were looking at him strangely. He chuckled dryly and said, "I've lost my composure. Alas, when one gets old, it's easy to recall old events. Seeing Yuanjing, I can't help but think of Yuanxi. Back then, in order to seek a breakthrough, he didn't hesitate to venture into Xue Wang Mountain, but ultimately failed to find an opportunity and died in the mountain instead. It pains me so!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but feel a sense of grief, and sighed, "Junior Brother Yuanxi was brave and valiant, fearing nothing in his pursuit of the path forward. His actions are truly the way of us cultivators."

Huo Tiantong shook his head: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. More than sixty years have passed since Yuanjing left, and he has returned as a Core Formation cultivator, suddenly walking ahead of many people, which is truly amazing. I wonder how you've been all these years? What happened in the Mustard Seed Space back then?"

Before Zhang Yuanjing went to Guiyuan Peak, he had been instructed by Liu Yuanqing not to reveal anything about the Mustard Seed Space without Tong Tianfu's permission.

So he said, "Please forgive me, Elder Huo and Elder Li. Since the sect has already made a decision regarding the Mustard Seed Space, this disciple is really not at liberty to speak about it without reporting to True Person Tong."

Huo Tiantong glanced at Liu Yuanqing, knowing that this must have been his instruction, and patted his forehead, chuckling: "What Yuanjing said is absolutely correct, that's how it should be. I'm truly getting old, I've forgotten all about this. Then just talk about what happened after you left the Mustard Seed Space."

Li Tiankan frowned, wanting to say something but stopping, and ultimately said nothing.

Zhang Yuanjing then briefly explained how he cultivated in Zhangjiawan and how he went to Xuanyin Mountain to seek opportunities. Of course, he omitted the Yin-Yang Creation Furnace and the Thick Earth Nurturing Cauldron. The former involved his great secret, which he naturally couldn't reveal to outsiders, while the latter was Liu Yuanqing's request.

After Zhang Yuanjing finished speaking, Liu Yuanqing couldn't wait to say, "Martial Uncle Huo and Martial Uncle Li, Yuanjing's past can be discussed at any time. Now, let's put it aside for the moment and discuss how to take advantage of the victory to launch a surprise attack on the Thousand Swords Sect's strongholds and uproot all their forces."

In fact, if Liu Yuanqing wanted to take all the credit, he could have returned to the sect to report his victory without coming to Guiyuan Peak.

As a Nascent Soul disciple, he could report the facts truthfully, and no one could suppress him. Even Xie Tianwei would have to grit his teeth and accept it.

However, this would make Huo Tiantong lose face. He had confronted the Thousand Swords Sect on the eastern front for decades, with no merit, only hard work. As a result, Liu Yuanqing had defeated the enemy with a single move, making him lose face, and even Xie Tianwei behind him would be ashamed. More importantly, it would miss the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack and expand the results of the battle.

After weighing the pros and cons, he still prioritized the overall situation, willing to share half of the credit with Huo Tiantong, to relentlessly pursue and attack the Thousand Swords Sect's forces.

Huo Tiantong immediately echoed with a smile: "What Yuanqing said is not bad. The Thousand Swords Sect is collapsing and fleeing, they must be transferring their forces. If we can chase after them, even if we can't kill them all, we should at least bite off a large piece of fat. What do you think, Junior Brother Li?"

Li Tiankan said with a stern face: "Senior Brother Huo's words are somewhat inappropriate. The Thousand Swords Sect is such a large force, how can it collapse in just one month? Martial Nephew Liu may have made a great contribution, but we can't be careless and think that Ge Yang is doing nothing, allowing us to kill him at will.

"The sect's strategy on the eastern front is set, focusing on defense and maintaining the situation. If we want to launch a full-scale counterattack, this is not something that Guiyuan Peak can decide on its own. We should report to the Hall of Palm Governance and let the sect leader decide!"

Huo Tiantong's face stiffened, and he said somewhat awkwardly: "Junior Brother Li's words, also, also make some sense. Let's discuss it again, discuss it again."

Liu Yuanqing had thought that Huo Tiantong would gladly accept the gift of a great contribution, but now he was greatly disappointed to hear what Li Tiankan said.

He knew about Li Tiankan's eccentricity and rigidity, but Huo Tiantong was in charge of Guiyuan Peak, and could make decisions on his own, without having to pay attention to Li Tiankan. Even if this person was stubborn and conveyed the words to Xie Tianwei and Tong Tianfu, it would be useless.

However, Huo Tiantong took the opportunity to shirk responsibility, obviously not wanting to gather the Core Formation cultivators on the eastern front to take risks.

After all, even if they won a great victory, it would not be a good thing for him. He would probably not get any credit from Xie Tianwei, and might even get a scolding. If something went wrong, he, the Peak Master of Guiyuan Peak, would have to step down.

Yu Tianwan then spoke up: "Junior Brother Li's concerns are also reasonable. In my opinion, how about this, Junior Brother Huo, you report this matter to the Hall of Palm Governance through the sound transmission array, and ask Sect Leader Xie to decide. But let's not just wait, Guiyuan Peak should send four or five Core Formation cultivators to join us in investigating the movements of the Thousand Swords Sect, so that we can grasp the enemy's situation in real time."

Investigating the enemy's situation is the duty of Guiyuan Peak, and Yu Tianwan's proposal was not out of line. Li Tiankan did not refute it.

Huo Tiantong also didn't want to offend Liu Yuanqing, so he said with a smile: "This proposal is very good. What do you think, Junior Brother Li?"

Li Tiankan said expressionlessly: "I have no objection."

Huo Tiantong laughed: "Then that's settled. Junior Brother Li, go and select a few people and have them prepare."

Li Tiankan nodded and quickly walked out of the inner hall.

Huo Tiantong looked at the three and suddenly sighed, saying: "Martial Nephew Liu, Martial Brother Yu, you all know that Sect Leader Xie is currently worried about the Xue Wang Mausoleum, and is troubled every day, unable to eat or sleep. I'm afraid he's not in the mood to pay attention to the war on the eastern front."
