Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Roar!"

A ferocious shadow leopard pounced from a tree branch, its speed like the wind, arriving behind him in the blink of an eye. Its head stretched out, mouth wide open, sharp teeth like swords, and saliva dripping.

Source stones, like armor, quickly covered his body. The sharp teeth bit down on them, creaking.

Zhang Yuanjing was not injured, but the impact of the shadow leopard sent him rolling forward several times. He quickly stood up, leaning against a large tree.

Before he could attack the shadow leopard, a black scaled snake, as thick as a bowl, leaped down from the treetop and coiled around his body. The snake beast flicked its tongue, quickly bypassing the armor, and bit towards his face.

Zhang Yuanjing acted with lightning speed, grabbing the snake's head two inches below its jaws, pinching hard, and pouring out his mana, shattering it inch by inch.

At this moment, the shadow leopard attacked again, its front legs swinging out, striking directly at his face.

Zhang Yuanjing waved his hand, striking out a ball of dark yellow mana, colliding with the shadow leopard's front legs, forcing it back. Then, with a 'Raging Sand' technique, he swept the beast and several other demon beasts on nearby trees into it.

After killing the black scaled snake, he discovered that no pure mana appeared. This indicated that killing these demon beasts was merely a test of this Spirit Gourd Battlefield, not a true battle.

Relying on the Raging Sand formation, he quickly killed the shadow leopard and the other demon beasts. A strong bloody smell spread throughout the forest. Further away, countless demon beasts were ready to move.

Before leaping into the forest, he used his divine sense to observe that the strength of the demon beasts here was not strong, mostly in the Qi Activation Realm. There were only a few in the Demon Core Realm, all hiding in the distance, not approaching.

He protected his body with source stones, chose a direction, and quickly darted forward. From time to time, birds, poisonous snakes, red rats, shadow leopards, and other demon beasts attacked, all of which he either trapped or killed with Earth Defense, Earth Prison, and Flying Stone techniques.

Before long, he rushed out of the forest. Ahead were rolling hills, stretching all the way to the horizon.

He turned his head and saw that above the forest was a thousand-foot-high cliff. On the cliff, huge rocks stood, flames soared into the sky, and water vapor filled the air, as if cultivators were fighting fiercely.

Such power could not be created by magic techniques. Could it be that other cultivators knew minor magic?

Zhang Yuanjing hesitated for a moment, gathered a breath of mana, leaped up, stepped into the air, crossed the void, and flew onto the thousand-foot-high cliff.

He swept his divine sense around, covering a range of dozens of miles. Apart from stone mountains and cliffs, there was nothing around.

After a short rest, he stepped on a giant rock and leaped up, landing on the edge of a vast flat ground.

The flat ground was blocked on three sides by steep mountain walls, and the upper part was covered in clouds, not knowing where it led. On the flat ground, two figures flashed and moved, engaged in a fierce battle.

Zhang Yuanjing's expression condensed, and he looked carefully. One of the two people was Shu Tianqi, and the other was Huo Tiantong.

The methods used by the two were both quite powerful minor magic, but their means were singular. Shu Tianqi specialized in the Wildfire Burns All technique, burning half of the cliff into a dark red, while Huo Tiantong specialized in the Water Overflows the Heavens technique, sometimes with torrents surging, sometimes with mist steaming.

The two confronted each other tit-for-tat, head-on, with great momentum and extreme danger.

A look of doubt appeared in Zhang Yuanjing's eyes.

With Shu Tianqi's status, Huo Tiantong had always affectionately called her 'Junior Sister Tianqi' when he saw her, praising her recent cultivation progress and increasingly charming appearance, trying his best to curry favor. How could he be fighting her desperately like this?

Even if they encountered some great opportunity, they could completely discuss it. Why resort to such extreme methods?

Zhang Yuanjing's appearance did not attract the attention of the two.

They seemed to be concentrating on fighting, ignoring everything outside.

However, judging from their expressions, they seemed completely unaware of Zhang Yuanjing's arrival.

Zhang Yuanjing thought that when he flew up to the high cliff from outside the forest below, he had not found these two people in his divine sense before crossing the giant rock.

This shows that there must be a mystery hidden here, either capable of blocking the detection of divine sense, or a phantom scene.

After thinking for a moment, he still focused his divine sense and slowly swept across the flat ground.

When his divine sense landed on the innermost side, a huge crystal stone suddenly appeared in his eyes.

This stone had a restrained but not scattered luster, and a condensed but not leaked aura. As soon as his divine sense touched it, he felt a majestic power running through it, and mysterious sounds spreading from it. A thought immediately arose in his mind—possess it, refine it!

Zhang Yuanjing subconsciously took a step and walked towards the crystal stone.

However, as soon as his foot landed on the flat ground, Huo Tiantong and Shu Tianqi, who were fighting, both looked at him and scolded in unison: "How dare you covet the strange stone, courting death!"

Immediately, a ball of fire suddenly sprang up from the ground, like a flood sweeping across the wilderness, rushing towards Zhang Yuanjing.

In the sky, a silver river hung upside down, like a training descending from the sky, pouring down on Zhang Yuanjing's head.

Zhang Yuanjing shook his body, burrowed into the ground, quickly escaped dozens of feet, and reappeared on the ground, already not far in front of the crystal stone.

This stone was more than three zhang high, crystal clear, and seemed to contain endless spiritual power. The closer he got, the more refreshed he felt.

When Zhang Yuanjing disappeared into the earth, Huo Tiantong and Shu Tianqi did not seem to know where he was. Seeing the enemy disappear, the two fought again.

When Zhang Yuanjing reappeared, the two immediately stopped and chased after him like crazy.

Zhang Yuanjing turned around blankly, and slapped out four palms in succession. Immediately, four earth walls rose up with a rumble, blocking Huo and Shu outside.

Then, he turned around and walked forward, taking a few steps to the bottom of the crystal stone, and stretched out his right hand to touch the huge crystal stone.

However, just as his palm was about to touch the crystal stone, the umbrella jade in front of his chest surged with a coolness, rushing straight up to his sea of consciousness, causing him to pause involuntarily.

His consciousness did not know why he had to stop. However, it was this stop that changed the crystal stone in front of him.

A bloody face emerged from it. At the place facing his hand, there were insect-like mouthparts, wriggling up and down, preparing to enjoy the delicious food sent to his mouth.

Zhang Yuanjing's whole body shook, and cold sweat soaked his clothes. He immediately took two steps back and completely woke up.

He shouted loudly, covering several zhang around him with Raging Sand, and at the same time used the Flying Stone technique, dropping dozens of large stones from the sky, like raindrops, smashing on the crystal stone.

"Boom, boom boom boom... crash!"

The crystal stone could not withstand this violent attack and soon shattered into a pile. Only a ball of pure spiritual power remained, ten times larger than what he had obtained from killing those cotton-like people before.

He took it into his hand and was about to deal with Huo and Shu when a gust of wind blew from nowhere, blowing away his Raging Sand technique and Huo and Shu together.

At this time, he realized that hundreds or thousands of jade steps had risen from the center of the flat ground, leading straight to the sky, disappearing into the thick clouds.

He did not immediately climb those jade steps, but sat cross-legged and circulated the Thick Earth Transformation Technique, absorbing the ball of pure spiritual power into his body and refining it slightly.
