Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Three days passed, and Zhang Yuanjing successfully refined the umbrella ribs and handle. After these two items were made, although they weren't as stunning as the umbrella surface, they each had their own unique characteristics.

The umbrella ribs could be both rigid and flexible, capable of both offense and defense, with endless variations. The umbrella handle was exceptionally sturdy and could be used as a weapon for attacking.

The final step was to fuse the umbrella surface, ribs, and handle into a single entity using Soul Condensing Jade.

He continued to release the fire from his dantian to refine the Soul Condensing Jade, but unexpectedly, this material was extremely solid, taking a full day and night to refine.

Exhausted from such consumption, he dared not delay and quickly connected the three parts according to the diagram.

Then, using his magic power, he guided the liquid transformed from the Soul Condensing Jade and poured it onto the joints of the three parts, while continuing to heat them from below with the fire from his dantian.

Half an hour later, a 'bang' was heard, and the umbrella opened up completely. A mysterious yet extremely powerful force surged out like a wave, sweeping past Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast at the entrance of the hall, and spreading rapidly in all directions.

What powerful energy! This Evil Aversion Umbrella must be a top-grade magic treasure!

Zhang Yuanjing was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised that refining the Evil Aversion Umbrella according to the diagram recorded in the jade slip was so easy, and wondered about the background and motives of the old man. He was delighted that he had refined the Evil Aversion Umbrella in one attempt, making it hopeful to escape the tomb.

However, before he could calm his mind, something broke through the air and spun around in front of him, transforming into a pure black umbrella that instantly enveloped the entire right side hall, including Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast guarding the entrance.

The surroundings immediately turned pitch black, and a chilling air filled the space.

The two demon beasts were like statues, frozen in place and unable to move.

Zhang Yuanjing could still move, but he dared not act rashly.

A child-like voice suddenly sounded from the black umbrella: "Did you summon me?"

Zhang Yuanjing's hair stood on end, his eyes narrowed, and his breathing became heavy as he asked in a trembling voice, "You, are you the Yang Refining Umbrella?"

The child-like voice was crisp, but without any emotional fluctuation: "I am the Yang Refining Umbrella. Did you summon me?"

Zhang Yuanjing wanted to deny it, but he knew that the consequences were unpredictable, so he nodded and said, "I did!"

The Yang Refining Umbrella said, "Who are you?"

Zhang Yuanjing forced himself to calm down and said, "I am Zhang Yuanjing."

The Yang Refining Umbrella said, "That means you are not a Xuan Tian Sect cultivator?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing was extremely surprised—this tomb was indeed deeply connected to the Xuan Tian Sect! He quickly said, "I am a Xuan Tian Sect cultivator."

"How do you prove it?"

Zhang Yuanjing had already switched to cultivating the Thick Earth Sect's techniques, and the Xuan Tian Heart Sutra he had practiced during the Foundation Establishment stage had long been completely purged. He had no choice but to take out his waist badge and said, "This is my waist badge!"

The Yang Refining Umbrella said, "You dare to deceive me! Prepare to die!"

The pressure was like a mountain, and the energy was like an abyss. It wanted to kill him at the slightest disagreement!

Zhang Yuanjing hurriedly shouted, "I'm not deceiving you! I am a Xuan Tian Sect cultivator. This is my waist badge from when I established my foundation. Now that I've entered the Core Formation stage, I haven't had time to return to the sect to obtain the Xuan Register and Jade Seal."

The Yang Refining Umbrella's energy subsided, and it said, "Without the Xuan Register and Jade Seal, how can you prove your identity! I'll give you three breaths. If you can't prove your identity, you will be killed without mercy!"

Zhang Yuanjing said, "I can recite the Xuan Tian Heart Sutra!"

The Yang Refining Umbrella's voice was devoid of emotion: "I don't understand the Xuan Tian Heart Sutra, it's useless!"

Zhang Yuanjing took out the genuine umbrella jade: "I used this jade pendant to enter this place."

The Yang Refining Umbrella seemed a little impatient: "I don't care how you got here. If you can't prove it, then die! You dare to disturb my sleep!"

Zhang Yuanjing had a flash of inspiration and suddenly took out the waist pendant, saying, "There is a keepsake here that can prove it."

The Yang Refining Umbrella asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Yuanjing had already begun to recite the incantation, and the waist pendant floated up.

The Yang Refining Umbrella seemed to suddenly become interested, and instead of stopping Zhang Yuanjing, it moved closer to the waist pendant.

After three breaths, the incantation was completed, and the waist pendant suddenly cracked with a 'snap'. A mass of black shadow rushed out and pounced on the Yang Refining Umbrella.

The Yang Refining Umbrella was caught off guard and was hit directly, instantly shaking like a sieve.

Zhang Yuanjing could see clearly that the black shadow was a remnant soul, and the fluctuations of its soul power were very similar to those of the old man in the statue.

This was probably a wisp of his divided soul.

He didn't know what the waist pendant was made of, but it could seal a remnant soul inside and preserve it for tens of thousands of years without decaying.

That incantation was clearly used to解除the restriction. Once the restriction was released, the waist pendant cracked, and the remnant soul could no longer stay inside and had to come out to find something else to attach itself to.

It chose the Yang Refining Umbrella.

However, it might have been about to choose the Yang Refining Umbrella, and all of this was the result that the old man had hoped for.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly ran towards the hall door, but a powerful pressure spread out from the Yang Refining Umbrella, like a mountain, suppressing him to the ground, unable to move at all.

His back was to the sky, and his divine sense could not leave his sea of consciousness, so he could not see the movements of the Yang Refining Umbrella at all.

At this time, the pure black umbrella had fallen into dead silence.

However, beneath the deathly calm was a cataclysmic and earth-shattering struggle.

When the black shadow gradually weakened and the Yang Refining Umbrella's umbrella spirit was about to secure victory, the Evil Aversion Umbrella that had fallen to the side suddenly floated into the air and covered the Yang Refining Umbrella.

Immediately, the Yang Refining Umbrella struggled violently, trying to get rid of this colorful umbrella.

However, the Evil Aversion Umbrella seemed to be stuck to the Yang Refining Umbrella, and no matter how it twisted, it could not shake it off.

Inside the Yang Refining Umbrella, the black shadow let out a strange laugh, pounced on it, and mixed with the umbrella spirit, actually trying to fuse with it into one.

The umbrella spirit felt the threat of annihilation and desperately bombarded the black shadow while controlling the umbrella body and struggling frantically, shaking the Evil Aversion Umbrella attached to it so much that it was somewhat unable to cover the Yang Refining Umbrella.

At this time, the pressure enveloping the side hall began to weaken, and Zhang Yuanjing struggled to get up.

At the hall door, Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast also regained their mobility, but it was still somewhat difficult.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast let out a series of rapid cries.

Ape Thirteen conveyed the thought: "The Suanni Beast says, quickly knock down that colorful umbrella!"

Then, it added, "I'll do it!"

It roared, burning its blood essence, and its body was covered in golden light like water, flowing continuously. It forcibly broke through the obstruction, raised its Heaven Stirring Cudgel, and smashed it at the Evil Aversion Umbrella.

"Boom!"

The Evil Aversion Umbrella shook and trembled, as if it had been stunned, but the Yang Refining Umbrella had been struggling, and took the opportunity to shake it off.

Inside the Yang Refining Umbrella, having lost external assistance, the black shadow was quickly torn apart by the umbrella spirit.

It let out an unwilling roar and desperately activated the Evil Aversion Umbrella.

However, Ape Thirteen held the Heaven Stirring Cudgel and stood guard beside it like a demon god. As long as the Evil Aversion Umbrella made any movement, it would smash it with the cudgel.

The black shadow could not withstand the pressure of the umbrella spirit, and suddenly roared sharply, igniting itself. The umbrella spirit was caught off guard and was also ignited.

It wailed and scurried around, at a loss, not knowing how to extinguish the fire on its body.
