Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

“Junior requests that senior open a path, allowing junior to leave this place,” Zhang Yuanjing said, bowing respectfully and pleading.

“Are you a Xuántiān Sect disciple?” a cold voice asked.

“Yes.”

“Show your token.”

Zhang Yuanjing hurriedly took out Lin Tianxian’s Xuan Register and jade seal, raising them high.

A cold light shot out from the darkness, shining on the Xuan Register and jade seal.

After two breaths, the cold light disappeared.

The cold voice said, “Since you are a Xuántiān Sect disciple, you are qualified to enter the Chengyuan Hall. Pass the test of that hall, and you can leave this place.”

Zhang Yuanjing asked in a trembling voice, “May I ask where the Chengyuan Hall is?”

The cold voice said, “You have been to that place, it is behind the inner hall.”

So it was inside the mist-shrouded portal!

But there was great danger there. He did not want to enter it, which was why he returned to the stone pit, intending to gain enlightenment from the remnant soul of Luo Yujing.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally braced himself to ask, “That place is extremely dangerous, please give me some guidance!”

The cold voice said, “Since I have accepted your things, I will teach you a sentence: When entering that hall, no matter what situation you encounter, you must remember the hexagram you chose at the beginning. If you can hold on, you will live; if you cannot hold on, you will die!”

Before the voice faded, the darkness dissipated, the void retreated, and Zhang Yuanjing returned to the main hall. The ape Thirteen behind him was unharmed, but the portal in front of him was rumbling shut.

“Yuanjing, the door is closing. Could it be that the stone tablet didn’t agree to the transaction?” Ape Thirteen was anxious, and quickly spoke to Zhang Yuanjing with his divine sense.

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head and replied with his divine sense, “Let’s go, I have already completed the transaction with it.”

“Transaction completed? When did that happen? How come I didn’t know?” Ape Thirteen scratched the fur behind his head, asking blankly.

Zhang Yuanjing gave a wry smile and still said in his divine sense, “This tablet’s strength is astonishing. If it doesn’t want you to see it, how could you possibly see it?”

He took two steps and suddenly realized something was wrong—the Lianyang Umbrella was actually following behind him, and had not been taken away by the Intercepting Sky Tablet.

He quickly communicated with the umbrella spirit and asked, “The Intercepting Sky Tablet didn’t call you into that portal?”

Zhang San said crisply, “Returning to master, Zhang San is of course following master, why should I listen to the Intercepting Sky Tablet? It did ask me just now, but I am willing to follow master.”

Zhang Yuanjing was a little puzzled and asked, “The Intercepting Sky Tablet didn’t tell you about your origins?”

Zhang San said, “It did! But, erasing my spiritual consciousness, what’s the difference between that and killing me! Even if the Lianyang Umbrella regenerates a spiritual consciousness, it won’t be me, Zhang San. Of course I don’t agree!”

Zhang Yuanjing was surprised and said, “It can let you leave?”

Zhang San said as a matter of course, “Of course it has to let me leave! Why wouldn’t it let me leave!”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing realized that the situation was quite different from what Luo Yuanhao had said.

Of course, this may be related to the arrangements made by the senior experts of the Xuántiān Sect who entered this place, which he could not know.

However, this was a good thing for him. With the Lianyang Umbrella’s help, even if he was limited by his strength and couldn’t exert much power, he would at least be invincible below the Nascent Soul stage.

Zhang Yuanjing left the left hall, went around the outside, and soon arrived at the mist-shrouded portal again.

Before he could step forward to push open the portal, the Lianyang Umbrella floating behind him said, “Master, there are dangerous things here, Zhang San dares not approach.”

Ape Thirteen also sent a thought, “Yuanjing, I can’t go in here. Once I go in, I will die!”

“Why do you have this feeling?”

Ape Thirteen said, “That mist gives me the feeling that once I am exposed to it, I will be erased!”

Zhang Yuanjing’s heart stirred, and he communicated with the Lianyang Umbrella: “Why do you feel it’s dangerous?”

Zhang San said, “There is something strange in that mist that makes Zhang San feel fearful, as if once I enter, I will be abducted!”

Zhang Yuanjing couldn’t help but recall what the Bijing Suanni Beast had said, that there was danger here, targeting cultivators, and the Lianyang Umbrella might not be able to protect him, perhaps referring to this. Here, he probably could only rely on himself to break through, unable to rely on spirit beasts, magical treasures, or spiritual treasures.

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and said, “It doesn’t matter, I will put you away in the storage bracelet and spirit beast bag. After I pass through this Chengyuan Hall, you will naturally be able to leave the mausoleum.”

With a thought, he waved his hand and put away the one item and one beast, and put Lin Tianxian’s Xuan Register and jade seal in his arms, just in case. Then, with the Source Stone protecting his body, he channeled his mana into his arms and pushed against the stone door.

“Rumble—”

A rough sound rang out, the stone door slowly opened inward, and a rich spiritual energy rushed towards him, making Zhang Yuanjing a little breathless.

This spiritual power is too pure, comparable to a great spiritual cave!

While he was still in shock, a strong force came from the mist behind the portal, and with a sway, he arrived in a dim hall.

The hall was empty, without any furnishings, except for eight pillars, each embraced by three or four people, standing in the hall according to the eight directions.

Zhang Yuanjing walked a few steps and found that next to each pillar, there were eight recessed circles, each about half a zhang in size, paved with blue bricks, which were different from the rest of the floor in the hall.

Eight times eight is sixty-four, Zhang Yuanjing immediately thought of the sixty-four hexagrams.

However, the arrangement of the sixty-four circles here is very different from the Bagua diagram. If the Intercepting Sky Tablet had not reminded him, he probably would not have thought of the hexagrams.

He first walked to the pillar in the southwest direction. The southwest is the Kun hexagram, then the eight circles around this pillar represent the eight hexagrams of Kun, Fu, Lin, Tai, Dazhuang, Guai, Xu, and Bi.

However, how are these eight hexagrams arranged? The eight circles are exactly the same, and there are no recognizable marks around them.

Kun is in the southwest. If the circle in the southwest position of this pillar is the Kun hexagram, should it be arranged in order, or in reverse order? Or should it be arranged by skipping? There is no fixed number.

Since the sixty-four circles are not arranged according to the hexagram diagram, it is difficult to say that the eight hexagrams around each pillar are arranged according to the hexagram position.

At this time, a lot of mist poured in from nowhere. Zhang Yuanjing felt palpitations from this mist, not knowing what it was.

Obviously, he didn’t have much time to consider and had to choose a circle to walk into, otherwise he would be swallowed by the mist.

How to choose? Zhang Yuanjing was anxious, but he couldn’t find any way to distinguish them. There were many possibilities for the Bagua arrangement diagram he knew, and he didn’t know which one could fit the situation here.

Seeing that the mist had already covered the corners of the hall and was spreading towards the eight pillars, he remembered the Intercepting Sky Tablet’s sentence—"No matter what situation you encounter, you must remember the hexagram you chose at the beginning." He immediately thought of the Bi hexagram.

Bi hexagram, Kun is earth, Kan is water, there is water on the ground. Water gets earth and is stored and flows, earth gets water and is soft and moist, water and earth are close together.

“Water gets earth and is stored and flows!” A flash of inspiration came to Zhang Yuanjing’s mind, and the mana in his body surged out, condensing sixty-four water balls and dropping them into the sixty-four circles.

“Puff puff puff…”

The water balls smashed into the circles on the ground and immediately dispersed, quickly disappearing.

Only one circle, around the pillar in the due south direction, in the north position, the water ball fell, accumulated inside, flowed back and forth, and never decreased.

Zhang Yuanjing was overjoyed, and immediately flashed into this circle.

As soon as he stood still, the Xuan Register and jade seal in his arms seemed to be attracted by an inexplicable force, and flew out on their own, spinning around him, emitting a white light.

At this time, a clear light also shone from below the blue bricks, and soon connected with the white light of the Xuan Register and jade seal, wrapped Zhang Yuanjing and rushed upward, disappearing.
