Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After nearly two years, Zhang Yuanjing detoured northeast, teleported from Flying Dragon Immortal City to the Outer Gate General Hospital, and returned to the mountain gate.

He sent a message to Wu Yuankui, but received no response. When he inquired with Lin Yuancang, he learned that True Person Qi had summoned all the Core Formation elders in the mountain for a meeting that had been going on for several days. Lin Yuancang told him to return to Jingdu Mountain to rest first, and the Sect Leader would summon him when he returned.

In the Guiyuan Hall on True Nature Peak, a simple pavilion, more than thirty futons were placed on the ground. Qi Tianxiang, with white hair, a rosy complexion, and a calm expression, sat cross-legged at the head.

The first on the left was Wu Yuankui, and the first on the right was a slightly fat cultivator with a face like a full moon and clear eyes, who looked very kind. His cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of Core Formation, and he was the second most powerful person in the Xuantian Sect, Tong Tianfu.

Below the two of them, more than ten Core Formation cultivators sat, most of them sitting upright with solemn expressions.

"Alright, everyone has been talking for several days, and the situation in various places is clear. Yuankui, you are the person in charge, so you should also say something," Qi Tianxiang pointed to Wu Yuankui nearby and asked him to speak.

Wu Yuankui responded and said without hesitation, "True Person, Elders: In the early stage, after several years of secret warfare, the Tianmoyu strongholds near the Hou Tu Sect were all cleared. The Tianmoyu cannot get news from the Hou Tu Sect, so they are still kept in the dark.

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Hou Tu Sect directly transmits information to the Tianmoyu, but this possibility is not high. The Hou Tu Sect will not personally enter the arena and expose its existence before we and the Tianmoyu enter the sealed space.

"On the other hand, in the past five years, we have organized forces to frequently attack in Shumi Mountain, which has also successfully confused the opponent. The importance of the sealed space to our sect is known not only to ourselves, but also to the opponent. The more fiercely we fight, the more the opponent believes that we are fighting to protect the Great Spiritual Cave, rather than knowing that there is an ancient Hou Tu Sect's 'Mustard Seed Space' inside.

"Of course, the escalation of the battle has also led to the continuous increase of the opponent's Core Formation cultivators and Holy Core Demon cultivators. It is not yet certain whether Nascent Soul cultivators or Incarnation Realm Demon cultivators have come to preside over the situation. However, the opponent will definitely invest more power in Shumi Mountain.

"There must also be people in the Tianmoyu who understand the ancient Hou Tu Sect's 'Mustard Seed Space', otherwise, they would not have found the Hou Tu Sect so accurately and tested the Shumi Mountain seal. Therefore, it is unrealistic to hope that the other party will ignore Shumi Mountain or even transfer their forces elsewhere.

"We can only take advantage of the opportunity of the battle to suddenly exert our strength, clear the opponent's forces at once, make them lose their eyes and ears, and then take the opportunity to enter the sealed space and seize a period of advantage.

"Previously, under the instructions of the True Person, I went to the Central Plains Immortal City with Elder Tianwan to purchase Gravity Talismans, Locking Sky Arrays, and Sky Piercing Silver Shuttles to prepare for clearing the 'Mustard Seed Space'.

"Therefore, I believe that now is the best time to enter the sealed space and start the operation, catching the Tianmoyu off guard. As for the Hou Tu Sect, without the Tianmoyu's containment, they cannot come to the stage!"

Hearing this, all the Core Formation cultivators' expressions became solemn, knowing that the most important topic was about to begin.

Qi Tianxiang, sitting at the head, took over Wu Yuankui's words and said in a gentle tone, "The Shumi Mountain seal is a serious concern for our Xuantian Sect. For five thousand years, generations of Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect have exhausted their efforts and worried about it. The predecessors in the past were constrained by external conditions and did not know the crux of the seal's changes, so they could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Now, whether it is by chance or the enemy's conspiracy, we have finally understood the root of the problem. Since this is the case, clearing this 'root cause' is our inescapable responsibility.

"Just now, Yuankui said that now is the best time to enter the sealed space, and I deeply agree! Therefore, today's elder meeting is to determine the people, who will go and who will not go, this must be arranged properly, and no mistakes can be made. We must always consider the worst situation first and make thorough preparations.

"Everyone, please speak, who is willing to go, and who wants to stay behind? Don't be brave, and don't feel embarrassed, go if you should go, stay if you should stay, there is nothing to be ashamed of!"

Tong Tianfu, who was sitting first on the right, immediately said, "True Person, let me go to Shumi Mountain, and let Yuankui stay at home. He has high talent, and he will be able to enter the Great Perfection in a few years!"

Qi Tianxiang said with a straight face and a deep voice, "You must stay behind! The safety of the mountain gate is involved, and there can be no carelessness or wishful thinking! Since Yuankui is the Sect Leader, he must go to Shumi Mountain, otherwise, he is not a qualified Sect Leader!"

Tong Tianfu responded with a dry laugh and dared not speak any further.

Seeing that the always amiable True Person Qi spoke in such a stern voice, everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks. The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became tense. No one spoke for a while.

Seeing this, Qi Tianxiang's expression eased slightly, and he looked at a late-stage Core Formation cultivator below Tong Tianfu and asked, "Tianwei, what about you, are you going to Shumi Mountain?"

Jie Tianwei was tall, with a dignified appearance, slightly narrow eyes, and deep gaze.

At this moment, suddenly being asked by the True Person, he was not flustered. After a little thought, he said calmly, "Clearing the Shumi Mountain seal and completely digging out this 'poisonous sore' that threatens the mountain gate's Great Spiritual Cave is the wish of our Xuantian Sect for thousands of years, and it is also the wish of all Xuantian disciples. As a Core Formation elder, I am naturally duty-bound, and I am extremely willing to contribute to this.

"However, I am currently doing something. This matter may not be as important as the Shumi Mountain seal, but it is also something that must be paid attention to for our Xuantian Sect. This is the matter of Xue Wang's Divine Mausoleum."

At this point, whispers immediately rang out in the pavilion.

A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Nascent Soul True Person Qi Tianxiang, but his expression remained unchanged, and he did not speak.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Jie Tianwei's mouth curled up slightly, and he continued, "Everyone is familiar with Xue Wang's Divine Mausoleum, so I won't say much. About twenty years ago, Junior Brother Tianfu sent me a jade box with the words 'This is Fan Yu. Obtain seven jade pendants of Sword, Fan, Bell, Ding, Umbrella, Stele, and Beast, and you can enter this King's Mausoleum and obtain corresponding opportunities'.

"Junior Brother Tianfu attached a letter saying that he had specially tried it in Xue Wang Mountain, and this jade can indeed resist the gray mist, but the duration is limited and not enough to support cultivators staying in the mountain for a long time. His speculation is that all seven jades must be collected and used in combination or in succession to dig out the secrets of Xue Wang Mountain."

The "Junior Brother Tianfu" he was talking about was Yin Tianfu, the city lord of Xuan Shui Immortal City. He and Jie Tianwei were taught by the same master and had always had a very good relationship.

Seeing that his master Qi Tianxiang only listened and did not speak, Wu Yuankui couldn't help but question, "Uncle Tianwei, why didn't you report such an important matter to the True Person earlier?"

Jie Tianwei said unhurriedly, "Sect Leader, don't blame me. I also felt that this matter was quite strange, and I was worried that there might be something strange in it. I thought about investigating it privately first, and after I understood it, I would report it to the True Person and the Sect Leader. Originally, I shouldn't have brought up the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum when discussing the matter of Shumi Mountain today.

"However, after my investigation, this matter is not an isolated case and may indeed be true. More than ten years ago, Junior Brother Tiantong also told me that his disciple Wang Yuanxi had also obtained a jade pendant, which was the Ding Yu among the seven jades. He originally asked him to go to Xue Wang Mountain together, but because the True Person had ordered that Core Formation elders should not leave the mountain at will to prevent the Tianmoyu from attacking, he did not go. Junior Brother Tiantong, is this correct?"

A middle-aged cultivator with an ordinary appearance, who was sitting three seats below him, hesitated slightly and nodded quickly, "That's right, there is such a thing. At first, when I suddenly heard that there were jade pendants in the world that could open Xue Wang's Divine Mausoleum, I, like Senior Brother Tianwei, felt that this matter was suspicious, so I did not immediately report it to the True Person and the Sect Leader. Later, later Yuanxi went to Xue Wang Mountain alone..."

Jie Tianwei suddenly interjected, "Yuanxi left the mountain, I wonder if he reported it to the Zhangxuan Hall?"

Seeing the topic suddenly turn to the Zhangxuan Hall, Wu Yuankui's heart trembled, knowing that he needed to be cautious, so he said solemnly, "According to Wanfa Sect's report, Junior Brother Yuanxi entered the mountain alone and has been trapped in it for several years without returning. The Zhangxuan Hall has sent people to verify it."

"Oh, he's already trapped in the mountain!" Jie Tianwei raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised, "Is there any result from the investigation?"

Wu Yuankui shook his head: "The disciples who went there could not enter the mountain. They only knew that Junior Brother Yuanxi stopped in one place in the mountain and did not move. As for whether he is dead or alive, it is still impossible to determine. However, it is very likely that he has already fallen."

Hearing this, Huo Tiantong's eyes darkened, but he did not speak.

Jie Tianwei then said to Qi Tianxiang, who was sitting at the head, "True Person Qi, Wang Yuanxi's jade pendant is one example. In addition, there is another example, which was obtained by Zhou Jin Xiong of the Wanfa Sect. Seven years ago, he sent someone to give me a Bell Jade, saying that it was obtained in a river valley tens of thousands of miles north of Xue Wang Mountain. He did not dare to enjoy it himself, so he presented it to me.

"He also found it difficult to distinguish the authenticity of this matter. Because he still had some friendship with me, he sent it to me first. His original intention must have been to dedicate this jade to my Xuantian Sect through me."

Zhou Jin Xiong was a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator who joined the Wanfa Sect a hundred years ago. Since then, with his excellent strength, good at exploiting and ruthless, he quickly became the second most important figure in the sect, almost able to compete with the Great Elder Cen Zhenfeng. This person had always attached himself to Jie Tianwei, and it was not surprising that he specially presented treasures to him.

Hearing this, Qi Tianxiang, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Since three of the seven jades have appeared, they have some origins after all. You will stay in the sect and take care of this matter. However, you must remember that the focus is on guarding the mountain gate. Unless necessary, the matter of Xue Wang's Divine Mausoleum should be dealt with after the Shumi Mountain seal is resolved."

Jie Tianwei looked solemn and bowed his head in response, "Yes, I will obey the True Person's instructions."

Qi Tianxiang turned his head to look at a refined cultivator sitting below Wu Yuankui and asked in a deep voice, "Tiantong, are you willing to go to Shumi Mountain?"

This person was Hu Tiantong, one of the three great late-stage Core Formation cultivators. He was handsome and outstanding, with a bright inner spirit and an outward appearance of heroism. He was simply a natural seed for cultivation and had always been valued by Qi Tianxiang. Qi Tianxiang originally did not want to take him into the Shumi Mountain sealed space this time to avoid accidents.

However, Jie Tianwei had obviously been prepared for a long time and had begun to plan twenty years in advance. If he was forced to go, firstly, he relied on the legacy of his late master and formed a faction with deeply rooted influence in the sect, which would inevitably lead to internal friction and be uncoordinated with the overall situation; secondly, even if he went to the sealed space, if he did not work hard, it would be better not to go; thirdly, Xue Wang Mountain Mausoleum was very tempting to the sect's Core Formation cultivators, and if no one presided over it, the rest of the people would inevitably be eager to move and prone to chaos.

After thinking it over and over, Qi Tianxiang had to endure his anger and disappointment and choose Hu Tiantong and release Jie Tianwei.

Hu Tiantong's expression was normal, and he lowered his head and replied, "Tiantong is willing to go!"

In the end, it was decided that those who would go to the Shumi Mountain sealed space would be led by Nascent Soul True Person Qi Tianxiang, with two late-stage Core Formation cultivators, Hu Tiantong and Wu Yuankui, three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, Zeng Tianshou, Yu Tianwan, and Qian Tianwu, and three early-stage Core Formation cultivators, Qin Tianbao, Ying Tianwen, and Jin Tianwu.

Two days later, Wu Yuankui summoned Zhang Yuanjing in the Hanling Hall. Lin Yuancang was in attendance.

After listening to Zhang Yuanjing's report, Wu Yuankui couldn't help but sneer in his heart: It seems that these seven jade pendants are a complete set of magic weapons. Perhaps, Jie Tianwei had been eyeing Xue Wang Mountain Mausoleum for a long time and had secretly prepared many methods to secretly open the opportunity. It was just that he happened to catch up with the matter of Shumi Mountain and had to take it out as a shield.

However, this person's power is really extraordinary. Yin Tianfu and Zhou Jin Xiong are nothing, but Huo Tiantong actually has a close relationship with him, and there is also the Du family of Hanyue Ridge, which is probably also his vassal. I wonder how many such small forces and small families there are!

After thinking for a moment, he said, "These two jade pendants will be of some use to you, so keep them for self-defense and don't hand them over to the sect. However, you must remember that you must not let outsiders know about this!"

Then he turned to Lin Yuancang and said, "Record the matter of the two jade pendants in Junior Brother Yuanxi's file, but it must be clearly stated that the two jade pendants are personally kept by me, Wu Yuankui, and are not stored in the Zhangxuan Hall. Any elder who wants to obtain the two jades must report to True Person Qi for approval!"

Lin Yuancang nodded, indicating that he understood.

"The matter of the jade pendants will be handled like this for now."

Wu Yuankui pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand and said in a serious tone, "Yuanjing, the elder meeting has decided to send a large number of cultivators to clear the Tianmoyu cultivators in Shumi Mountain in the near future. You will also go, but not to fight, but to guard the seal. Remember, the sect will use a mid-grade cross-domain flying boat, which will depart from Youlong Peak in the inner gate at exactly Si Shi three days later. Don't be late, the flying boat won't wait for anyone!"

"So anxious?" Zhang Yuanjing was stunned.

"This was decided long ago, so three years ago, I asked Senior Brother Yuancang to recruit you back. There are a lot of cultivators being dispatched this time. If you don't go, you will inevitably give people something to talk about. Anyway, you are just going along for the ride, and there is no danger," Wu Yuankui explained simply.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't think so. Since he was fighting against a powerful force like Tianmoyu, it was inevitable that there would be casualties. Yesterday, he heard a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Jingdu Mountain say that Li Yuanchao, Sun Yuanfei, and Deng Yuanguang, these three old guys, died in Shumi Mountain three years ago.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of parting and suddenly thought of two people.
