Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#320 - Chapter 319 The Secret of the Jade Pendant

Liu Yuanqing's visit was for the opening of the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum. Yu Tianwan was still traveling with him.

Liu Yuanqing didn't enter the Ink Bamboo Manor. He spoke to Zhang Yuanjing, who hurriedly appeared beside the Wind-Riding Chariot, saying, "Senior Brother Yuanjing, Headmaster Xie sent a message to the Palm Mystery Hall through the Myriad Dharma Sect's sound transmission array, saying that they encountered some changes when they used the seven jades to open the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum. It's related to the two jades you submitted, so they need you to come for consultation."

Zhang Yuanjing's expression darkened, and he asked, "Junior Brother Yuanqing, what are the changes, and how are they related to the two jades I submitted? From these words, are they summoning me to be questioned?"

Liu Yuanqing shook his head and said, "I'm not clear about this matter. Headmaster Xie didn't explain in detail. However, after I reported it to the True Person, the True Person said that the opening of the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum must be completed as soon as possible to avoid giving the Abyss of Heavenly Demons an opportunity. Therefore, he told me to immediately take you to Xue Wang Mountain.

"The True Person made it clear that if Senior Brother helps Headmaster Xie solve the problem of opening the mausoleum, then no matter what the final result is, it will be considered a great achievement for you, and you will definitely be able to be ranked as an Elder in the future."

Zhang Yuanjing's expression softened, and he said, "Just helping Headmaster Xie open the mausoleum? I don't need to enter the tomb, right!"

Liu Yuanqing said with a wry smile, "Even if Senior Brother wanted to go, Headmaster Xie wouldn't allow it. Seven jade pendants, seven Core Formation cultivators, the candidates have already been decided, there's no chance for you."

It wasn't that Zhang Yuanjing looked down on the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum, but that he already had a great opportunity, so he didn't need to take risks.

Hearing this, he nodded, "That's good. Since the True Person has given the order, I will naturally do my best. However, if it's beyond my ability, please also inform the True Person, Yuanqing, and don't blame me."

Liu Yuanqing quickly responded, "That's natural."

Zhang Yuanjing then returned to the manor, explained things to the Fire Crow Taoist and several disciples, and went to the mountain to call back Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, putting them into his spirit beast pouch. Then, he boarded the intermediate Wind-Riding Chariot and went north with Liu and Yu.

The three of them sped along the way, and after reaching the hinterland of the Profound Heaven Sect, they passed through the teleportation array to the largest immortal city in the north, the Profound Water Immortal City, and then flew away on an intermediate Wind-Riding Chariot.

In this way, after nearly two months, they finally arrived at the branch of Xue Wang Mountain, Jade Emperor Mountain, where the Myriad Dharma Sect's mountain gate was located.

At this time, the headmaster of the Myriad Dharma Sect was Gao Peng, the chief disciple of Grand Elder Zhou Jinxiong.

This person was also very smooth and cunning, and he "inherited" all of Xiao Yousong's tricks for welcoming distinguished guests back then, wanting to perform them on Liu Yuanqing, Yu, and Zhang.

Unfortunately, the three of them were in a hurry, so they didn't fall for it. After a reprimand, they went directly to the Myriad Dharma Hall.

Zhou Jinxiong originally wanted to arrange for the Profound Heaven Sect's Core Formation cultivators to stay in the Myriad Guest Tower, but how could Xie Tianwei be in the mood for a banquet? If this person wasn't his confidant, he would have scolded him long ago.

When Liu Yuanqing and the others arrived at the Myriad Dharma Hall, the atmosphere in the hall was quite oppressive.

Including Zhou Jinxiong, seven Core Formation cultivators sat silently in the hall, not speaking, and it was unknown how long they had been sitting there.

They had naturally already discovered the arrival of Liu Yuanqing and the others through their divine sense.

However, Xie Tianwei, who was in the main seat, didn't say anything, so naturally no one would go to greet them.

Liu Yuanqing, with a smile on his face, bowed to a serious-looking cultivator with a square face and a high nose bridge in the center of the main hall, and said loudly, "Disciple Liu Yuanqing greets Uncle-Master Headmaster."

He also greeted the six Core Formation cultivators sitting on both sides below.

Zhang Yuanjing also took this opportunity to identify the six people who entered the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum with Xie Tianwei one by one.

Hu Tiancong, this was already known.

Huo Tiantong, as expected.

Lin Tianxian, was a bit of a surprise. This female cultivator's cultivation was at the peak of the Core Formation middle stage, only one step away from the late stage, somewhat similar to Huo Tiantong, but she was fifty years younger than Huo Tiantong and still had enough time to cultivate to the Core Formation Great Perfection. Moreover, she had always been a loner and had no close relationship with Xie Tianwei.

Shu Tianqi, Su Yuanxiao's master, had once formed a Daoist couple with Tong Tianfu, but they separated due to trivial matters. However, after all, there was a period of affection, and her status in the sect was special. She hadn't entered the Core Formation middle stage for long, but unexpectedly, she was also going to the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum.

Yin Tianfu, Xie Tianwei's fellow apprentice brother, with a Core Formation middle stage cultivation. It was not surprising that this person appeared here.

Finally, there was Zhou Jinxiong. The fact that this person could snatch a spot from the many Core Formation cultivators of the Profound Heaven Sect showed Xie Tianwei's trust in him.

After Yu Tianwan greeted the Core Formation cultivators, Zhang Yuanjing stepped forward and bowed deeply to Xie Tianwei, who was sitting in the main seat: "Disciple Zhang Yuanjing greets Headmaster!"

Xie Tianwei narrowed his narrow eyes, his gaze stern, as if examining Zhang Yuanjing.

He didn't speak for a long time. Zhang Yuanjing naturally maintained his posture, but he felt a little suppressed in his heart.

"Forget it, it's not easy to survive from that dangerous place. Meet the Elders first." Xie Tianwei said in a deep voice, without deliberately emphasizing his tone, but still revealing a very strong sense of oppression.

Xie Tianwei didn't mention a word about the past, although as the headmaster, he needed to be dignified, but it also reflected his attitude.

Obviously, the past events, including his taking away the two jades, which led to the postponement of the opening of the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum for decades, would not be easily forgotten.

Zhang Yuanjing's expression remained unchanged, he responded softly, straightened his back, and saluted the other six Core Formation cultivators.

Hu Tiancong nodded with a smile. Huo Tiantong said with a smile, "Yuanjing is here, good". Lin Tianxian just glanced at Zhang Yuanjing, her eyes not only indifferent but also a little gloomy. Shu Tianqi nodded reservedly, her attitude neither warm nor cold. Yin Tianfu chuckled, but the smile was unknown what it meant, appearing somewhat hypocritical. Only Zhou Jinxiong didn't dare to be presumptuous, stood up and returned the salute, and then beckoned Liu Yuanqing, Yu Tianwan, and Zhang Yuanjing to sit down.

Xie Tianwei said from above, "Alright, now that Yuanjing is here, let's start the discussion. Tianfu, you first tell them about the abnormalities we seven have encountered when opening the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum in the past few months."

Liu Yuanqing and Yu Tianwan represented the Nascent Soul True Person Tong Tianfu, so they couldn't be avoided.

Yin Tianfu then stood up and said, "According to the stone tablet at the entrance of the mausoleum, only seven people each holding a jade, pressing it into the corresponding groove on the stone tablet, and the mausoleum gate will open. However, we have tried no less than twenty times, and each time, it failed due to the incompatibility of the seven jades. And the problem of this incompatibility of the seven jades lies in the umbrella jade and the cauldron jade."

He stared at Zhang Yuanjing, paused, and continued, "When seven people press seven jades into the groove at the same time, a spatial passage will appear from behind the stone tablet. However, before this passage can fully appear and stabilize, a strange force will surge out of the umbrella jade and the cauldron jade, causing the stone tablet to tremble, leading to the collapse and disappearance of the spatial passage. We spared no effort to use extremely precious space-type spiritual talismans, but it was to no avail, and we couldn't stabilize the passage at all."

At this time, Xie Tianwei in the main seat asked, "Yuanjing, after you obtained these two jades, did you make any changes to them, or did you let these two jades undergo special power tempering?"

Zhang Yuanjing stood up from his seat, walked to the middle of the two rows of seats, and said to Xie Tianwei, "Reporting to the Headmaster, this disciple has not made any changes to the two jades. As for special power tempering, this disciple cannot be sure."

He then truthfully told about the several dangers he encountered, the two jades being frozen and burned, and how they protected his divine soul and body at critical moments.

All the Core Formation cultivators present were shocked. Especially the seven people who obtained the seven jades, all marveled.

Because, with their cultivation, they didn't feel any strange power in the jade pendants at all.

Later, Zhou Jinxiong and Yin Tianfu, who held Zhang Yuanjing's two jades, didn't encounter similar situations as Zhang Yuanjing, so they didn't have time to discover the mysteries.

Xie Tianwei, however, showed joy, and surprisingly, contrary to his serious and steady demeanor, he stood up from the main seat with a "whoosh" and said, "Yuanjing, think about it carefully, your two jade pendants are different, they must have undergone some kind of power tempering, and this power is definitely not some earth fire or profound ice, it must be related to the jade pendants, or related to the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum, it's a power that can activate it!"
