Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing looked back at Yuan Shisan, who was sitting cross-legged, circulating his energy like a human cultivator. The wound on his chest and abdomen was still shocking to see.

He hadn't even seen how the statue had injured Yuan Shisan. He only felt that the moment the HunTian Cudgel struck the statue, a powerful force had burst out, hitting Yuan Shisan and sending him flying.

This counterattack seemed instinctive, released the moment it was attacked.

From this, he also understood that when he attacked the statue with the Armor-Piercing Axe, the statue's counterattack force had nowhere to go, so it turned into a force that lifted the statue upwards.

Having figured this out, he immediately had an idea. He immediately summoned the Armor-Piercing Axe, letting it hover in the air to gather power. When the time was right, he used the Thick Earth Technique to condense an extremely thick earth wall above the statue, and then drove the Armor-Piercing Axe to chop at the statue's ribs from the side.

"Boom!" "Rumble!"

Two loud noises deafened him. The first was the sound of the Armor-Piercing Axe hitting the statue, splitting it and sending gravel flying. The second was the sound of the statue's counterattack hitting the stone wall, shattering it instantly.

Zhang Yuanjing immediately probed with his divine sense, and sure enough, he saw that after the statue was chopped down by the Armor-Piercing Axe by a foot, it only jumped up about two inches, getting further and further away from the edge of the stone pit.

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to do so. Before long, he had chopped the statue into the group of statues.

At this time, restricted by the terrain, he could not condense the earth wall while continuing to control the Armor-Piercing Axe to attack the statue, so he stopped first.

After about fifteen minutes, the statue moved up again. Zhang Yuanjing did the same thing and knocked it down again. After repeating this more than ten times, the statue finally stopped moving.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The Emerald-Eyed Suanni Beast, who had been waiting in formation beside him, cried out twice towards a statue in the lower right corner of the stone pit.

Zhang Yuanjing followed its gaze and saw a statue in the shape of a star slowly rising in that corner.

Its aura was a bit strange, very ethereal. It didn't feel very strong, but it was completely unpredictable, and he didn't know where its power was hidden.

This star statue was only four feet in size, much smaller than the previous one. However, it rose much faster.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't dare to be negligent. He first used Earth Defense, condensing an earth wall to block above the star statue, and then activated the Armor-Piercing Axe, which had already been gathering power, and chopped at it from the side.

"Rumble!"

It wasn't the two sounds together as before, only one loud noise. The axe hit the statue, splitting it with several cracks, but the counterattack force that surged out of the statue didn't go towards the earth wall, but hit the Armor-Piercing Axe, sending it flying dozens of feet away, slamming into the stone wall on one side before falling down.

Zhang Yuanjing waved his hand to retrieve the Armor-Piercing Axe. He probed with his divine sense and found that the axe was fine, but its spiritual energy was greatly damaged and it needed to be nourished with mana before it could be used again.

Looking at the star statue again, it directly pushed upwards against the earth wall. The earth wall couldn't hold it down at all and was easily pushed upwards by the statue.

Zhang Yuanjing then used the Flying Stone Technique, condensing a stone block about ten feet in size and smashing it at the star statue.

"Boom!"

The two sounds merged together. The large stone hit the star statue, and the star statue's counterattack hit the large stone at the same time.

The stone block shattered, splitting into several pieces and falling below, disappearing silently.

The star statue was smashed down more than two feet, but it couldn't jump back up even an inch. Compared to the previous statue, it was more sensitive, but also weaker.

So, Zhang Yuanjing used the Flying Stone Technique to fight with this star statue. After fifteen minutes of repeated back-and-forth, he finally smashed the statue down and it stopped moving.

The battle process sounded simple and wasn't dangerous, but it consumed a lot of mana. If the statue kept rushing outwards, Zhang Yuanjing wouldn't have had so much mana to expend.

The third statue came quickly. Without the Emerald-Eyed Suanni Beast's reminder, Zhang Yuanjing could see it clearly.

Because this humanoid statue, missing half a hand, flew directly out of the stone pit and instantly arrived in front of Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing retreated several steps, all the way to the entrance of the tunnel. If he hadn't remembered that Yuan Shisan was still healing nearby, he would have run away.

The Emerald-Eyed Suanni Beast, who was following beside him, had its fur standing on end. Its four claws were tightly gripping the ground, its head was lowered, and it was making a soft whimpering sound in its mouth.

This statue was suspended in mid-air, emitting a powerful pressure, but it didn't attack Zhang Yuanjing and the two beasts.

Zhang Yuanjing sent a thought to Yuan Shisan, telling him to get up quickly and hide in the tunnel behind.

He held onto the hope that the stone pit had a restraining force on these statues, and that if the statues were too far away, they would be moved back.

However, Yuan Shisan didn't respond at all, and didn't seem to feel the statue's terrifying pressure at all.

Just as he was anxious, an old and somewhat weak voice came from the statue: "Boy, how do you want to die?"

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked and took two steps back, hesitating whether to escape into the tunnel and test whether the statue could follow.

"Want to run? Where are you running? Don't want to get out of this cage?" The old voice asked teasingly in a three-part question.

When Zhang Yuanjing saw that the remnant soul in this statue was so clear, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he suppressed his fear and cupped his fist in salute, saying, "Zhang Yuanjing greets senior, please enlighten me!"

"Huo huo huo huo~ Why should I enlighten you? What benefits can you give me?" The old voice mocked.

Zhang Yuanjing thought to himself: Since you have appeared, you must want to make a deal, but why are you playing this game! But on his lips, he respectfully said: "Junior has strayed into this place and only wants to live. Senior, if you have any orders, just give them."

"Well, you have self-knowledge. Since that's the case, I'll give you some pointers." The old voice said smugly, but the next sentence startled Zhang Yuanjing, "Boy, do you think there will be an exit in this tomb?"

Zhang Yuanjing was stunned and said: "Isn't there one?"

"Of course not! What is this place? It's that dead… that person's tomb! What is a tomb? It's the residence of the dead, what do you need an exit for!"

This! Zhang Yuanjing was speechless. Because this sentence made too much sense, it was simply impeccable.

"What's wrong? Are you scared! Are you wondering why so many people are brought in here if there is no exit?"

Zhang Yuanjing nodded indifferently. This was exactly what he was thinking.

"Simple, that person, hehe, is not willing to be lonely even after death, and always wants to find some fun. Moreover, some living people come in from time to time, staging scenes of open and secret struggles and hypocrisy, doesn't it also dispel his loneliness? Jie jie jie jie!"

Zhang Yuanjing didn't completely believe this person's words and asked: "Senior, how many cultivators have you seen entering from the outside world?"

"Many. If not ten thousand, then eight thousand. But none of them have been able to get out alive."

"Oh, this place is so dangerous, please show me the way, senior, I will be very grateful!" Zhang Yuanjing felt that this old man's words were too exaggerated, so he didn't believe it even more, but he still pretended to ask for help.

"Seeing that you are quite respectful to me, I will teach you a method. As long as you find any one of the seven great spiritual treasures and persuade it to agree, you can leave the tomb!"
