Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The man and beast walked through a stretch of sandy mud, quickly entering the dunes.

The wind and sand raged, but within a ten-foot radius around Zhang Yuanjing, they swirled away, leaving a blank space, allowing him and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast to walk with ease.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast curiously watched the whistling sand, a look of confusion in its eyes.

Of course, it knew that this was Zhang Yuanjing's doing, but it still couldn't figure out how he was controlling these tiny, numerous grains of sand.

Zhang Yuanjing's understanding of the Sand Control Art could only be described as a small gain. However, after understanding a few key points, his ability to control sand particles using the advantages of the technique greatly improved.

This alone greatly increased his strength, giving him the confidence to deal with that ferocious beast in the flying sand environment.

After venturing more than fifty miles into the desert, the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast suddenly stopped, chirping softly twice.

Even without Ape Thirteen's translation, he knew that the Suanni Beast was saying that the ferocious beast was coming.

His divine sense had already expanded to its limit, covering a range of more than forty miles, but he had not noticed the trace of that monster at all.

That ferocious beast was tunneling through the ground.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast began to move, not running far, but changing its position back and forth on the sandy ground within a twenty-foot radius.

"Squeak, squeak!"

With two sharp cries, the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast leaped up and dodged to the left.

At that moment, Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense also locked onto the ferocious beast that burst out of the ground.

This was a monster that resembled a centipede, its entire body covered in deep yellow armor plates. It was thirty feet long and five feet wide, with a pair of antennae on its head like double blades, and two venomous hooks that were jagged and sharp, flashing with a blue light.

It was extremely fast, staring at the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast as it darted over, as if it had to swallow it in one bite.

As for Zhang Yuanjing, who was not far away, it didn't even glance at him.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was most skilled at escaping, so how could it be afraid of its pursuit? With a few dodges, it left the centipede beast behind.

Zhang Yuanjing originally intended to use the Armor-Piercing Axe to contain it, but seeing the beast's speed, the Armor-Piercing Axe would not be able to catch up without interference. Even if it did, it would easily be avoided, so he first used an Earth Prison to trap the beast inside.

The centipede beast made a "hissing" sound and crashed into one side of the earth wall, its mouthparts wriggling, and it bit a hole in it in no time.

During this time, neither Zhang Yuanjing nor the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast attacked it, but instead sprinted forward with all their might.

Zhang Yuanjing did not intend to engage in a fierce battle with this beast right away, but wanted to go forward a little to allow the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast to see what was at the end of the desert.

If it could lead directly to another place, he would find a way to get rid of this beast, instead of fighting it.

The centipede beast quickly broke through the blockade of the Earth Prison, leaving a smooth trace on the surface of the sand, and quickly chased after the man and beast.

"Woo... woo..."

The wind howled, and the yellow sand filled the sky, quickly obscuring the road ahead. It was unknown whether it was natural or caused by the centipede beast.

Zhang Yuanjing used his sand control ability to isolate the yellow sand, and continued to move forward in the direction he had been running, constantly asking the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast about the situation ahead.

However, the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast kept shaking its head, occasionally chirping a few times, and he didn't know what it meant.

Because he wanted to hide Ape Thirteen as a sneak attack, Zhang Yuanjing had not released him all this time.

Gradually, the wind and sand were like a curtain, covering the sky and the sun, blocking the way forward.

His sand control skills could only slightly reduce the invasion of wind and sand, and the speed of his advance was greatly affected.

Zhang Yuanjing called out to the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, knowing that this overwhelming, thick, cloth-like yellow sand must have been deliberately caused by the centipede beast.

This place was its nest, and the wind and sand were like its magic weapon, controlled by it.

He whispered to the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, "If that beast suddenly attacks, remind me immediately when it is about to enter a three-zhang range."

The Heavy Earth Art Sword in his hand slowly accumulated mana, and all the key points of the Sand Control Art flowed through Zhang Yuanjing's mind like flowing water.

"Squeak!"

With a sharp cry, the wind and clouds in the sand suddenly changed.

The thirty-foot-long centipede beast suddenly shot out of the yellow sand, its two venomous hooks aiming straight for Zhang Yuanjing's neck. This time, it changed its target to Zhang Yuanjing.

However, as soon as it appeared, a completely different kind of sand suddenly swirled up like a hurricane within a four-to-five-zhang radius around Zhang Yuanjing, obscuring his figure, and even the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast disappeared.

This beast was called Sand Centipede, born in the sand and soil, feeding on certain small insects in the yellow sand, and its talent was best at guiding the wind and controlling the sand.

At this time, seeing that the yellow sand around it could block its sight and weaken its senses, it couldn't help but feel angry.

It made a wailing sound in its mouthparts, and its dozen pairs of legs moved up and down, driving away the mad sand in a very funny posture.

However, to its shock, its ever-victorious sand-driving talent did not work, and those sand particles that it hated still swirled around it, preventing it from identifying the location of the man and beast.

Its two gray eyes, hidden deep under the head armor plates, released a faint light. Although this light was weak, it could easily penetrate the mad sand released by Zhang Yuanjing and see the scene in the fine sand particles.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was gone. Zhang Yuanjing was also missing.

A look of doubt appeared in the Sand Centipede's eyes. Its eyesight was very strong, and it could easily see through the sand and dust, but after all, it was different from divine sense, and it was difficult to recognize the subtle differences between the sand particles.

At this time, Zhang Yuanjing had put the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast into the spirit beast bag, and he himself used the illusion created by the sand particles to hide his figure.

He certainly couldn't turn into sand, because that involved changes in the physical body, which was definitely not something that a Core Formation stage cultivator could get a glimpse of.

The Sand Centipede's eyes shot out a faint light again, and then quickly scanned around. This time, it seemed to have found something, but the light in its eyes lasted for a short time, and before it had time to lock on to the abnormality, it had already converged on its own.

It was very patient and did not rush to succeed, but rested for a quarter of an hour before trying for the third time.

However, at this time, Zhang Yuanjing had already changed his position and went to a place one and a half zhang above. Therefore, the Sand Centipede focused its eyesight to look at the place where it had originally found something, but it was naturally in vain.

After trying a few more times and still failing, this beast couldn't bear it any longer and began to run with all its might, rushing out of the mad sand.

Zhang Yuanjing then activated the sand formation, moving along the direction it was rushing, always trapping it in the sand.

After a stalemate for a quarter of an hour, the sand beast realized that something was wrong and stopped.

At this time, it made a strange movement, suddenly raising its stiff neck, opening its terrifying mouthparts, and sucking in the sand all over the sky.

In the wailing sound, the sand particles poured into its mouthparts in团团, and its body visibly grew a section, its back armor plates bulged, and its belly also stretched up.

The mad sand formation soon broke apart due to the lack of many sand particles, and re-exposed Zhang Yuanjing's figure.
