Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing stored the two enormous beast corpses into his Sumeru ring and left the swamp first.

The great battle here had created quite a stir, attracting several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Xuan Tian Sect. When they saw it was Zhang Yuanjing, they hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't recognize many of them. He smiled and nodded, then flew towards the inner part of the secret realm.

Finding a secluded spot at the foot of a mountain, he moved the two beast corpses out and released Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast.

"Ape Brother, will you eat this beast?"

Ape Thirteen's eyes showed disgust as he conveyed mentally, "No, no, I won't eat this thing! This beast has a foul stench. I feel sick just smelling it!"

Zhang Yuanjing was stunned. He carefully sniffed, but besides the usual fishy stench of a demon beast, he didn't smell anything unusual. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Where does this beast have a foul stench? It's no different from an ordinary demon beast."

"It does, it does! It's very stinky! Yuanjing, you can ask the Suanni Beast and you'll know!" Ape Thirteen took two steps back, shaking his paws with a look of disgust.

Zhang Yuanjing was dumbfounded, so he had to ask the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast.

This magnificent exotic beast walked forward a couple of steps, extended a front hoof, and pointed at the late-stage demon beast's fleshy瘤 on its forehead, making squeaking noises.

"The Suanni Beast says the stench comes from the fleshy瘤. I can't tell, but it's stinky anyway!"

Zhang Yuanjing took out a flying sword and tapped the fleshy瘤 a few times. The fleshy瘤 made a dull sound, like wood.

However, when he thrust the sword forward, the long sword bent into an arc, unable to pierce the fleshy瘤 at all.

He retracted his sword and saw that there wasn't even a mark on the fleshy瘤. It only turned slightly pale where the sharp edge had pressed against it, and it returned to its original blood-red color after a few breaths.

He then examined the early-stage beast's fleshy瘤 and poked it with his long sword. It was much softer than the late-stage beast's fleshy瘤.

So, he channeled his mana and pushed the long sword forward. The sword tip trembled and then pierced into the fleshy瘤.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast immediately jumped back, and Ape Thirteen was so frightened that he retreated several steps.

Zhang Yuanjing turned his head and glared at them, then pushed the sword further in. He immediately felt emptiness, as if he had pierced into an empty sac.

But soon, an extremely strong repulsive force emerged, pushing the long sword outwards.

This force had nothing to adhere to; it seemed to be generated within the empty sac, perhaps a kind of gas.

Zhang Yuanjing guided the mana from his dantian into the sword, adding force to push the sword forward.

The fleshy瘤 was quite large. When the long sword had sunk in halfway, it pressed against something hard, unable to advance any further.

He increased his force again, and the long sword forcibly drilled into the hard thing, but this object immediately generated a repulsive force that surged into the sword, shattering his mana in one fell swoop and heading towards his palm along the long sword.

A look of surprise appeared in Zhang Yuanjing's eyes. He immediately circulated his mana, injecting it into the long sword and colliding with this repulsive force, shattering it.

This time, he sensed that this repulsive force was quite like a single-attribute spiritual power, and he immediately had a guess in his mind. He retracted the long sword and quickly retreated several feet.

His movement was only to prevent accidents, but it was too sudden, immediately scaring the two beasts. They actually turned around and ran.

Zhang Yuanjing laughed and scolded, "It's just a kind of spiritual energy. What's there to be so afraid of!"

Then he ignored the two and turned his attention to observe the crack on the fleshy瘤. The expected gas explosion did not occur. Only a strand of condensed gas emerged from it and slowly dissipated in the air.

He saw clearly that this was indeed polarized spiritual power, but compared to that produced in the swamp, it was much purer and also had some spirituality, obviously after preliminary refinement.

He released the Source Stone and asked if it needed to devour this gas.

The Source Stone did not answer him, but instead directly approached the fleshy瘤, absorbing the gas emanating from within into its body.

After a while, it conveyed its thoughts, seemingly disliking eating in this way and not enjoying it.

Zhang Yuanjing laughed, picked up his long sword, walked up to the beast corpse, inserted the sword from the bottom of the fleshy瘤, and then used his mana to move it around, cutting the fleshy瘤 off the demon beast's forehead. He lifted his sword and slapped it away, revealing the hard object inside.

This was a cluster of five-colored glittering crystals, made up of crystal stones. Each crystal stone was not large; the largest was only the size of a broad bean, while the smaller ones were only like mung beans. Each crystal stone had only one color, very pure, and emitted a powerful aura.

This was actually a crystal condensed from polarized spiritual power!

It should be known that polarized spiritual power is a single-attribute spiritual power. Because of its singularity, it is very fierce and difficult to stabilize. Even as a gas, it is often in a state of tyranny, so how could it be condensed into a crystal!

Previously, he and Fire Crow Daoist had obtained a Fire Essence Stone and a Water Essence Stone underground in Whiteleave Mountain. That was because single-attribute spiritual power had integrated into the original spiritual vein, causing the spiritual vein to mutate, before they were formed.

But this demon beast, relying on its own body, after absorbing single-attribute spiritual power, could actually condense it into a crystal, which was simply unbelievable.

He suddenly regretted a little that he shouldn't have killed both demon beasts. Even if he had left one behind to investigate the reason, wouldn't it have been more beneficial?

While he was thinking, the Source Stone had already swallowed all of these crystals.

Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast slowly approached.

Ape Thirteen stared at the beast corpse with the fleshy瘤 cut off, twitching his nose and sniffing hard, conveying mentally to Zhang Yuanjing, "Yuanjing, this beast has had its fleshy瘤 cut off, and indeed it no longer has a foul stench. Hmm, not only is it not stinky, it even smells kind of fragrant!"

As he spoke, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Zhang Yuanjing waved his hand and quickly stored the other beast corpse into his Sumeru ring.

Seeing that the Source Stone had been standing still since swallowing the polarized spiritual power crystal, he put it into his body.

Then, holding his long sword, he said unhappily, "If you want to eat this beast, wait until I dissect it and check it."

He turned the beast over so that its abdomen faced upwards, inserted the sword into the area where the head and abdomen met, and then dragged the sword along the soft spot, quickly cutting open the beast.

Inside were bloody organs, but other than that, it was very clean. There were no remnants of limbs from cultivators or other demon beasts.

He turned out the beast's organs one by one and looked at them carefully, but he didn't see anything strange.

Then he moved his gaze upwards, falling on the beast's head and neck. This beast was a Demon Core Realm demon beast, and it must have an inner core. If it wasn't in the abdomen, it could only be in the head or neck.

Compared to the belly, places like the head and neck were more delicate and couldn't be cut open indiscriminately to avoid damaging the inner core.

So, he gradually cut away the beast's mouthparts from the outside, and from there, he picked out the contents of its head one by one. Finally, near the fleshy瘤 on the forehead, he dug out a white, hazy, oval bead, about the size of a walnut. Aura flowed on it, sometimes contracting and sometimes expanding, still possessing spirituality.

Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast were devouring the beast's organs with great relish. As soon as this bead came out, the food in their mouths immediately lost its fragrance. They both widened their eyes and stared blankly at the bead, large globs of saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly flipped his hand and put away the inner core, saying, "I still have a use for this thing now. If you want to eat it, wait until I've looked at it."
