Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"What's your name?"

"Luo Yujing."

"Why are you here?"

"That's a long story—"

"Then make it short!"

"Xue Manzi said he was the number one grandmaster of artifact refinement and wanted to compete with me. He said that if I could refine a spiritual treasure that surpassed one of his seven great spiritual treasures, he would concede. Later, I refined the Evil Aversion Umbrella, uh, the Yang-Snatching Umbrella, which was able to suppress his Yang Refining Umbrella. He went back on his word and captured me, locking me up here and preventing me from leaving."

"How many years ago was this?"

"At least twenty thousand years, uh, perhaps twenty-five thousand years. I'm just a remnant soul, and I can't remember many things clearly."

"Is the divine soul in that waist pendant yours?"

"Yes. Back then, after Xue Manzi captured me, he neither killed me nor released me for a long time. He even said he would keep his spiritual treasures and the spiritual treasure I refined, so that future generations could judge them. I thought that his lifespan was probably running out, and he definitely wouldn't let me go, so I used the Soul Division Mystique to split my divine soul in two. One half remained in my sea of consciousness, and the other half was sealed in that waist pendant. That waist pendant was refined by me using various top-grade materials, specifically for preserving the divine soul. As long as the restrictions weren't broken, the divine soul could continue to exist. Later, Xue Manzi snatched away everything I was carrying and then sealed my divine soul in this statue."

"How did you know the waist pendant was in the side hall?"

"Before, my remnant soul was still quite strong, and I could sense the location of my divided soul, so I knew it was there. My storage ring, too, I inferred would be there based on this, but I wasn't certain."

"How do you know the materials for refining the Evil Aversion Umbrella are all in the right side hall?"

"Xue Manzi said it. He said he was going to die and built a mausoleum. He even told me how the mausoleum was arranged. He said that if someone came in, they could learn the method for refining a certain magical treasure from the Interception Stele. If they could refine it successfully, they could obtain a spiritual treasure based on that magical treasure. That way, they would know that those magical treasures were just auxiliary items for obtaining my seven great spiritual treasures and were useless! Only the names of the seven great spiritual treasures would be passed down, not the Evil Aversion Umbrella or the Foundation Building Cauldron."

"…What kind of cultivator is Xue Manzi?"

"A Transformation God cultivator!"

"A Transformation God cultivator would do such a boring thing? Are you trying to deceive me!"

"No, I'm not lying to you! That Xue Manzi is at the end of his lifespan, crazy and erratic, and cannot be judged by ordinary standards. Most of the people in this stone pit are grandmasters of artifact refinement from various domains, all of whom he kidnapped to compete with him in the art of artifact refinement. Anyone who wasn't as good as him was directly refined into a statue. Someone like me, who could surpass him, was even worse off. My remnant soul was imprisoned in the statue, enduring tens of thousands of years of torment!"

"How many people surpassed him?"

"Only three people. One was me, one was Zhao Shilou, who refined the Foundation Building Cauldron. There was also one called Luo Yuanhao, who refined the Soul-Seizing Sword, which was said to easily suppress the Soul-Slaying Sword. This Luo Yuanhao's artifact refinement skills were extremely brilliant. He refined several storage artifacts that not only prevented outsiders from recognizing them but also allowed him to remotely know their location. One day, he told me the location of several items, which were in the same place as my divided soul. That's how I deduced that the things of all of us were placed in that side hall."

"Are those two still alive?"

"They couldn't bear the torment and deliberately allowed outsiders to destroy their remnant souls during an intrusion ten thousand years ago."

"You're teaching me the incantation because you want your divided soul to seize my body?"

"…"

"Yes or no?"

"…Yes."

"After your divided soul seizes my body, what do you plan to do?"

"Control the Yang Refining Umbrella, then come here to rescue my remnant soul, and then find a way to escape this mausoleum?"

"How do you get out of this mausoleum?"

"Find the Interception Stele. The Interception Stele advanced to a congenital spiritual treasure back then and is the key to concealing the path to this place. Only it knows how to enter and exit this mausoleum."

"How do you find the Interception Stele?"

"It's behind a door in the right hall."

"Will it let you out?"

"It will. It has extremely high intelligence, and you can make a deal with it."

"What kind of deal?"

"…"

"Speak quickly!"

"If you give me a way out, ah—"

"You're not in a position to negotiate with me!"

"Ah—"

"Still not talking?"

"Dying is better than talking!"

"You've endured more than twenty thousand years and weren't willing to die, but now you're not afraid of dying?"

"Ah—"

"Are you going to talk or not?"

"Kill me!"

"You can endure the pain of a divided soul, so your divine soul must be stronger than ordinary people. I'll give you another strike and cut you in half!"

"Wait! I only have this remnant soul left. Another strike will shatter all my memories!"

"Then talk."

"In those several storage artifacts refined by Luo Yuanhao, there is, there is a bottle of Jade Bone Fluid. That thing can greatly enhance the spiritual intelligence of spiritual treasures, even supreme spiritual treasures can use it. Back then, Luo Yuanhao gave up his best spiritual treasure to exchange for it. He told me before he died."

"Which storage artifact is it in? How do you open it?"

"It's a jade pendant."

"There are several jade pendants. Which one is it?"

"I don't know. He gave me a string of incantations. Recite it once, and you can open it. Just try it and you'll know!"

"Here we go again! There's nothing hidden in the jade pendant, right?"

"No, no! It's just a storage artifact. How could there be any tricks!"

"Tell me the incantation!"

"Disperse the Void Essence Qi, condense the Qi into the Divine, separate the front and back, support each other above and below…"

"Have you heard of the Profound Heaven Sect?"

"I've heard of it. Profound Heaven Sect cultivators once came here and were killed by the stone statues."

"When did that happen?"

"More than ten thousand years ago, I think."

"Do you know that the location of this mausoleum is very close to the Profound Heaven Sect's mountain gate?"

"I don't know. I was kidnapped by Xue Manzi and have been imprisoned ever since. I have no idea where I am."

"Xue Manzi, Xue Manzi, is that really his name?"

"Who knows what his real name is? Anyway, everyone secretly calls him Xue Manzi, not Xue Wangshen, as he calls himself."

"Is Xue Manzi very powerful?"

"He… his cultivation is very high. It is said that he was a late-stage Transformation God cultivator, one of the top three or five at the time."

"What is his background?"

"This, I don't know either. His origins are very mysterious. He seems to be from a remote and desolate place in the southwest of the Southern Domain. He joined several major sects but left them all. Later, he cultivated alone and established a great reputation in the Five Domains and Three Seas. We never thought that he would attack us Nascent Soul juniors! Moreover, he cheated and refused to admit defeat when he lost!"

"Tell me everything you know about the Soul Division Technique!"

"Ah, this, that secret technique is too obscure. My remnant soul body has long forgotten it."

"Really? You don't remember a single word? Tell me as much as you can."

"I, I really don't remember. Ah—"

"Do you remember now?"

"Yes, yes, I remember now. My divine soul wasn't split by myself, but, ah—"
