Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The tallest cultivator spoke first, "Senior Brother Qi, those insects clearly don't come from a proper source. It's better not to use them."

The round-faced cultivator rolled his eyes, "Senior Brother Chi, you don't have any rare insects, so of course, you think it's better not to use them. But we all have one, and they're truly useful in battle, even stronger than ordinary magical artifacts. Plus, we don't need to divide our attention and magical power to control them; it's like having an extra combatant. With such a powerful tool, why wouldn't we use it? As for what the Real Person said, of course, we should take it seriously. Senior Brother Qi, my idea is to find an opportunity to get rid of Lin Huan and seize his secrets for driving, raising, controlling, and using insects. That way, we'll naturally solve the problem."

A gaunt Daoist said, "Junior Brother Jin is right. Rare insects are just a special kind of demonic insect. If you don't raise them properly, there's a risk of being backfired. But if you raise them well, they're a great help. This Lin Huan deliberately entered my Tianmo Abyss, and I don't know what his purpose is. I've been observing him for over a decade. This person lives in seclusion and keeps company with poisonous insects all day long. He just seems to have a strange personality. But the more he's like this, the more suspicious he is. It's best to take him down as soon as possible!"

After that, several other people echoed, agreeing with this proposal.

Qi Xuyang pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let's handle it this way. Junior Brother Jin, this matter will be handled by you and Junior Brother Xue. However, you must obtain the secret method of using rare insects to control demon birds and master it as soon as possible. The Xuantian Sect may attack in a day or two. Remember, don't let the news leak out and let those vassal cultivators know."

The round-faced cultivator stood up and replied, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother Qi, this matter will be foolproof!"

Qi Xuyang waved his hand, "Everyone, go and do your work!"

The people stood up, bowed to Qi Xuyang, and left.

Qi Xuyang sat in the main seat, pondered for a long time, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards a door on the side and rear.

This was a wooden door, as black as iron, with intricate patterns carved on it, and light waves flowing from time to time.

Qi Xuyang took out a jade pendant, this pendant was shaped like a flower petal, and each petal was a different color, some dark and some light.

He placed the jade pendant on the wooden door, and a flower made of light flames appeared on the pattern there, exactly the same shape as the jade pendant.

The jade pendant and the light flame flower completely matched, and after a while, they merged into one, and then there was a "bang" sound, and the wooden door popped open, revealing a tunnel with hazy yellow light.

Qi Xuyang strode forward, walking unhurriedly. At the end of the tunnel was a stone room, the door tightly closed, emitting a shimmering white light, and in the middle on the right, there was a half-foot long and two-inch wide lock hole.

Qi Xuyang took out a key made of some unknown material from the storage bracelet, inserted it into the lock hole, and then gently twisted it, and then heard a crisp "click" sound, and the door opened.

He walked into the room and closed the stone door.

Inside the stone room, there were many iron cabinets on all sides, and in the middle was a foot-high stone platform, the base inlaid with dozens of spirit stones, but on the side facing the door, there was a groove, and the inside was empty.

Qi Xuyang flipped his hand and took out five middle-grade spirit stones with vigorous spiritual energy, walked forward, and buckled them into the groove.

In an instant, the colors were dazzling, and a cloud of light rose from the stone platform, gradually turning into the outline of a person.

Then, a voice came from the light, "Xuyang, why are you looking for me?"

"Disciple greets Master!"

"Alright, no need to be polite, speak quickly if you have something to say."

"Master, Han Rangyuan, Junior Brother Han, has met with misfortune!"

"Hmm—why did it come to this?"

"Perhaps the Xuantian Sect cultivators came to the door, broke into Junior Brother Han's cave, and killed him."

"Perhaps? How can such a statement be explained to your Uncle Yu?"

"Disciple is investigating—"

"The person is dead, what's the point of investigating! Don't worry about this matter for now, take care of dealing with the Xuantian Sect first!"

"Yes, Master! Today, the disciple discussed with the junior brothers and decided to make some changes to the original strategy."

Qi Xuyang then described the previously determined battle strategy in detail, and explained it at key points.

"This strategy is feasible, just go and implement it, no need to worry. The key to success or failure is not in Cluster Mountain, but here with me!"

"Yes! Disciple will definitely do my best. However, if the disciple leads the troops to battle, the communication with the Master will need to be entrusted to someone else. I wonder who would be suitable?"

"Just send a message, no need for such a dialogue. Just choose one from your disciples!"

"I wonder if Du Jue is suitable?"

"Yes!"

Above the stone platform, the light disappeared, and the voice was no longer heard.

Qi Xuyang walked out of the stone room, passed through the tunnel, and went to the outside of the wooden door, cast a set of magic formulas, and peeled the jade pendant from the light flame flower.

The wooden door slowly closed, and the light flame flower on the complex pattern also disappeared.

Qi Xuyang took out a piece of spirit jade and transmitted a voice with mana. After a while, a handsome young cultivator walked into the hall and bowed to him: "Disciple Du Jue greets Master."

"Come here!" Qi Xuyang stood at the wooden door and said to the young cultivator.

"Yes, Master."

Du Jue walked behind Qi Xuyang, held his breath, and waited for instructions.

"Do you know what place is inside the door?"

"Disciple does not know."

"Inside is a sound transmission array that can transmit messages to your grandmaster."

"So this is the place! Please give your instructions, Master!" A hint of joy flashed in Du Jue's eyes, and he replied respectfully.

"It seems that you have guessed the purpose of me calling you here."

"Disciple dares not speculate."

Qi Xuyang pointed to the wooden door and said, "To open this door, you must have a token, and there is a set of magic formulas to use the token. I will teach it to you. Whenever I am not in the hall, you will guard outside this door. If there is an emergency, you will report it to your grandmaster. Do you understand?"

Du Jue said loudly, "Disciple understands!"

Qi Xuyang then taught Du Jue the method of operating the jade pendant. Seeing him open the wooden door several times with the jade pendant, smoothly and without hindrance, he led him through the tunnel, into the stone room, and taught him the method of activating the array to transmit messages, before returning to the hall.

Just as he was about to give more instructions, a Jindan cultivator walked into the hall in a hurry, it was the refined scholar.

"Senior Brother Qi, the Xuantian Sect's Jindan cultivators have suddenly accelerated their advance, and are now only half a day away from Cluster Mountain."

"Half a day away? Why are you only reporting it now!"

"The person watching was too far away, and by the time they discovered it, the other party had been gone for a long time. Therefore—"

"Immediately notify all Jindan realm cultivators in the mountain to gather by the lake in a quarter of an hour. Also, tell Junior Brother Jin and Junior Brother Xue not to move Lin Huan for now, but to have him prepare to deploy demon birds at any time!"

"Senior Brother Qi, are we going to take the initiative to attack?"

"Of course, wasn't it already decided?" Qi Xuyang glared, with imposing might, "Go and pass the order immediately, I want to see all the Jindan cultivators in the mountain in a quarter of an hour, if there is one missing, I will hold you accountable!"

The refined scholar was startled and quickly turned and left in a hurry.

Qi Xuyang said to Du Jue, who was stunned beside him, "Guard here, without my order, you cannot leave, and you cannot enter the secret room at will!"

Without waiting for Du Jue to speak, he had already stepped out of the hall.

For a time, only Du Jue was left in the wide hall. After half a quarter of an hour, he heard the outside gradually become noisy, but it soon became quiet again.

He was bored, so he simply sat cross-legged and practiced his exercises.

After an unknown number of hours, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the surroundings were pitch black, as if night had fallen, enveloping him.

However, just a few feet away, there was light shining.

Just as he was about to get up to investigate, he saw countless memory fragments reappearing before his eyes. Then, he felt dizzy and fainted.
