Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing only performed a brief treatment to control his injuries before leaving the hall with the two beasts.

When Ape Thirteen stepped through the doorway earlier, he was teleported to a vast stone hall ahead. The area was densely packed with restrictions, obscuring the path forward, but many of the restrictions were already damaged, suggesting that someone had been here before.

If this place was as the old man in the statue had said, a storage for various precious materials, then most of the Xuan Tian Sect's Core Formation cultivators would likely come here. He just didn't know how many had arrived before him.

He followed Ape Thirteen, passing through three narrow stone rooms and entering the stone hall along a corridor.

This stone hall was a hundred zhang in circumference, but entering it gave a feeling of oppression.

This was because the ceiling was very low, less than two zhang from the ground, and there were no pillars, giving one the feeling that the ceiling could collapse at any moment.

The stone hall had eight doorways, each with a range of more than ten zhang in front shrouded in different colored halos. An invisible force permeated the area, containing a violent aura.

The halo in front of the eastern doorway had three breaches, emanating an ancient and desolate aura.

Divine sense could detect a groove below each breach, but there were no items inside. Presumably, they had already been taken by those who came before.

The halos in front of the northwest, west, and southwest doorways also each had a breach, and the items they had protected had been taken.

The halos in front of the north, northeast, and southeast doorways were intact.

Zhang Yuanjing examined the scene for a while, feeling somewhat lost.

According to the old man, he only needed to come to the right hall to easily obtain the six materials needed to refine the Evil-Repelling Umbrella.

However, the restrictions here were so dense and powerful. Without breaking them, how could he know what was hidden below? But breaking so many restrictions one by one would take forever!

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck him. There were eight doorways here in total. Except for the southern doorway through which he had entered, which was open and had no restrictions, the other seven corresponded to the seven spirit treasures.

This suggested a possibility: each doorway led to a place where one of the spirit treasures could be found, and the restrictions below might contain materials for refining corresponding magical artifacts.

Of course, this was just a guess, and it needed to be verified.

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment, then focused his divine sense on the northern doorway, carefully discerning the strength and changes in the restrictions within the halo.

After a few breaths, he clearly felt that there were eight places within the halo that contained quite powerful forces, automatically repelling his divine sense's probing.

This perhaps meant that there were eight restrictions under the halo, each guarding a precious item.

He went to check the other six doorways. The halos in front of three of them had six restrictions, two had seven, and one had eight.

The doorways with six restrictions were the southeast, west, and southwest.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. The restrictions in front of the southeast doorway were intact, but the restrictions in front of the west and southwest doorways each had one breach.

If one material was missing, where would he find it!

Of course, many doubts also arose in his mind.

Why hadn't the Xuan Tian Sect's Core Formation cultivators who entered this place before taken all the materials needed to refine a particular magical artifact? The one who took the most only took three, and the rest only took one or two, like Lin Tianxian. Why was this?

Moreover, there were clearly doorways ahead. If they broke all the restrictions, they could open a doorway. Why didn't they open them? Also, where was the opportunity for Jie Tianwei to advance to the Nascent Soul realm?

Since entering this tomb, the stone tablet only mentioned that a spirit treasure could be drawn out by refining a magical artifact. In other words, the seven spirit treasures were the most precious items here.

So, was the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul realm not worth mentioning?

Also, what opportunities were Huo Tiantong, Shu Tianqi, including the dead Lin Tianxian and Yin Tianfu, and the possibly dead Zhou Jinxiong seeking when they entered this place? Were they after these spirit treasures, or some elixir that could improve their cultivation?

Having wandered around the tomb for so many days, he had not encountered anyone except for Lin Tianxian.

Where had they gone? The left hall or the rear hall? What kind of opportunities were hidden there? And where had the Xuan Tian Sect's Core Formation cultivators who came to this hall earlier gone?

If there was an opportunity to quickly improve his cultivation, he would certainly want to obtain it. When he came to this hall, there were still many restrictions in the stone rooms or passages he passed through, perhaps hiding many good things.

Zhang Yuanjing thought back and forth, hesitating and indecisive. At times, he thought about going back, returning to the front hall, and then going to the left or rear hall. At other times, he wanted to break all the restrictions he had seen before to see what treasures were hidden inside. And at still other times, he wondered where the side hall the old man had mentioned was.

In a daze, he heard two "squeaks" beside his ear. He was suddenly startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately woke up and realized that he had unknowingly fallen into greed and could not extricate himself.

If the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast had not been alert and noticed something was wrong with him, and had awakened him in time, he would have been in unexpected trouble.

He glanced at the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast gratefully and asked, "Suanni Beast, do you see anything unusual here?"

This question was somewhat vague, but the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately squeaked a few times.

Ape Thirteen transmitted his divine sense, saying, "It says there are restrictions in the stone hall that obscure everything, so it can't see any danger. However, there might be powerful things hidden behind those seven doorways."

"Powerful things?" Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and asked, "Very dangerous?"

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast nodded.

Zhang Yuanjing looked at the several broken restrictions, a pensive expression on his face.

If there were dangers behind the doorways, then the Xuan Tian Sect's Core Formation cultivators who came here earlier might have noticed something, which is why they stopped breaking the restrictions.

But if that were the case, where would he get the materials to refine the magical artifact? Could it be that this was not the right hall?

That was possible. The left and right halls that the old man mentioned might be the opposite of what he understood.

He pondered for a moment and pointed to the southeast, west, and southwest doorways in succession, saying to Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, "Brother Ape, Suanni Beast, please break the restrictions in front of these three doorways. Just break one in each place first. I'll take some pills to heal my injuries."

The two beasts did as he said.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast had keen insight and could see the restrictions in the halo very clearly, accurately pointing out their positions to Ape Thirteen.

Ape Thirteen simply wielded the Heaven-Stirring Staff, hacking and smashing fiercely. For a time, the sound of crackling echoed throughout the hall, and scattered light waves flew in all directions, crashing into the ground or the ceiling and disappearing.

Zhang Yuanjing turned a deaf ear to it all, focusing on refining the medicinal pills, guiding his mana to circulate throughout his body, and repairing the injured internal organs.

Half an hour later, Ape Thirteen finally broke one of the restrictions in front of the southwest doorway, revealing the treasure hidden below.

At the same time, the tightly closed door in the southwest doorway suddenly made a "boom" sound and shook, as if it had been hit hard by some force.
