Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#323 - Chapter 322: Meeting on a Narrow Road

He didn't know how long he stood there, but he wasn't moved back by the restriction and was still standing more than twenty feet away from the stone tablet.

He swallowed all the pills that would have taken him more than ten years to refine at once. Although most of these pills were absorbed by him, there was still a lot left, which, along with the impurities in the pills, turned into pill toxins that settled in his meridians and dantian.

However, he wasn't afraid of this. He just needed to find some time to use the Devouring Spell to dissolve them.

While feeling the movement of the mana in the new realm, he continued to move forward.

Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet, all the way to a hundred feet. The stone tablet looked like it could be reached with one more step, but this one-step distance could never be crossed.

He didn't stop, always walking towards the stone tablet at a steady pace.

He didn't know if he had walked eight hundred steps or a thousand steps. The previous step was still in darkness, but the next step had already stepped into a bright light.

"Yuan Jing?" A low and somewhat cold voice came.

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked and looked up, only to see a middle-aged cultivator in a black Taoist robe standing in front of a stone tablet, looking at him coldly. It was Yin Tianfu.

The place where the two of them were was like the top of a mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the sky above was bright.

Zhang Yuanjing was a little surprised and hurried forward two steps, saluting and saying, "Disciple Zhang Yuanjing greets Elder Yin."

"You—eh, your cultivation, Core Formation Middle Stage!" A look of disbelief flashed in Yin Tianfu's eyes. "Where did you go? What opportunity did you obtain?"

He had cultivated hard for more than one hundred and fifty years before he advanced from the early stage of Core Formation to the middle stage of Core Formation. But this usually foolish junior, from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Core Formation, didn't even use one hundred years, which made him both surprised and jealous.

Zhang Yuanjing said half-truthfully, "Disciple was caught in this place and landed in a darkness. Every step I took there consumed a lot of mana. Disciple walked inside for half a day and ate a bottle of Spirit Fusion Pills. I don't know how I triggered the restriction and was teleported here. Perhaps I took too many Spirit Fusion Pills, and my cultivation broke through."

After listening, Yin Tianfu almost burst into swearing: Is cultivation so easy to increase, and is realm so easy to break through? Do you think I am a three-year-old child!

The short beard at the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said expressionlessly, "Yuan Jing really has good opportunities. It has only been a few decades since you entered the Core Formation stage, and your cultivation realm has caught up with this old man."

Zhang Yuanjing gave a dry laugh, "Lucky, lucky. I wonder if Elder Yin has just arrived here, or has he been here since he came in?"

Yin Tianfu snorted lightly and said, "This old man doesn't have as good an opportunity as you. I was here as soon as I came in. I had just made some progress in comprehending this stone tablet. Hehe, with your arrival, all my previous efforts have been wasted!"

Zhang Yuanjing said in astonishment, "What do you mean by this? Disciple broke in unintentionally."

Yin Tianfu pointed to the stone tablet and said in a bad tone, "Look for yourself, where are the words on it? It was just a full inscription, but as soon as you appeared, not a single word was left!"

Zhang Yuanjing didn't know whether what he said was true or false, but he didn't want to anger him, so he said, "Disciple will find a way to leave this place."

Yin Tianfu laughed loudly, "Leave? How to leave? You can't get out of here."

Only then did Zhang Yuanjing release his divine sense to explore the surrounding clouds and mist. But as soon as his divine sense touched the clouds and mist, it was like a beam of light entering a quagmire, making it difficult to extend forward.

"Don't try, they are all restrictions, and they can never be broken by Core Formation cultivators." Yin Tianfu's face became gloomy again, "Do you know what this tablet is called?"

Zhang Yuanjing's heart trembled. Sensing the killing intent hidden in his tone, he secretly became vigilant and respectfully asked, "Disciple doesn't know, please enlighten me, Elder."

Yin Tianfu said in a deep voice, "Umbrella Ward Evil Tablet."

He suddenly took out the umbrella jade and shook it at Zhang Yuanjing, saying, "It is the stone tablet corresponding to this jade pendant. The jade you hold is also an umbrella jade. Therefore, both of us will come here."

Speaking of this, he stared at Zhang Yuanjing with a sinister look, and smiled strangely, saying, "If this old man guessed correctly, the rule here is that only one person holding the umbrella jade can comprehend the stone tablet at the same time. If there are two, the inscription will disappear, until—there is only one person left!"

Zhang Yuanjing took two steps back and said in a solemn tone, "Elder is wrong. My umbrella jade is just a replica. It can't absorb strange power in the cold pool, and it has no special use. How can it be compared with Elder's umbrella jade? The rules here may have other explanations, not as Elder thinks."

Yin Tianfu moved a few steps to the left, slightly away from the stone tablet, raised his hands, with his left palm on top and his right palm on the bottom, gently pressed together, and said slowly, "Oh, then please Yuan Jing tell this old man, how should the rules here be explained?"

Zhang Yuanjing's pupils shrank, and he saw that Yin Tianfu's hand movements were the starting gesture of the Xuan Water Art, the water-based technique of the Xuan Tian Sect, ready to go.

Then he exerted force on his feet and tested the ground below, and found that although it was soil, it was very solid, as if it had been transformed by a restriction, and there was no space to use the Earth Escape Technique, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He also tried to communicate with Ape Thirteen in the spirit beast bag, wanting to release it, but was blocked by some hidden power and could not achieve it, and his heart could not help but feel a little heavy.

In fact, at this time, he also understood that the rule here is to let those who break in duel, and only the winner can comprehend the stone tablet and obtain the opportunity or leave this place.

He even suspected that his entry into the dark space before and obtaining the opportunity from it was also due to the rules of this mausoleum.

If he had understood the mystery of that space later, and came out of it later, Yin Tianfu would have mostly comprehended the inscription on the stone tablet and left this place.

The result of this is naturally that Yin Tianfu obtained the opportunity, and his best result is estimated to be kicked out of the mausoleum directly, and the worst result is to be trapped to death here.

"Perhaps, the method to crack this place is not to comprehend the inscription, but to knock down this tablet." Zhang Yuanjing said nonsense, recalling the various rumors he had heard about this Elder Yin in the past, and calculating how to deal with him.

If he had more time to stabilize his cultivation realm, he was confident that since they were both in the middle stage of Core Formation, relying on the second-order origin stone, he would never lose to this person.

Yin Tianfu dismissed what he said, but asked himself, "Do you know where the jade pendants in our hands come from?"

Zhang Yuanjing's heart moved, and he said indifferently, "Didn't Sect Leader Xie collect them?"

Yin Tianfu chuckled and said, "Of course it came from Senior Brother Xie, but he didn't collect them, but made them according to the drawings. These jade pendants are all genuine, and there are no replicas. Therefore, the rules here treat you and me equally. Anyone who carries a jade pendant can enter this place and seize the opportunity. Only one of you and me can survive!"
