Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The gourd's upper belly had a circumference of about a hundred zhang, and the inside was empty. Apart from the few wisps of Nihility Power that had entered through the gourd's waist, there was nothing else.

Zhang Yuanjing advanced dozens of zhang, reaching the center of the gourd's belly. He unleashed the full power of his divine sense, crossing the gourd's waist and extending it into the gourd's lower belly.

The gourd's lower belly was filled with Nihility Qi, and nothing else could be seen. His divine sense continued forward, probing more than two miles, reaching the bottom of the gourd. There, it was blocked by a rock wall, with only a corner having a gap through which Nihility Qi rolled in.

He stretched his divine sense towards this gap, but it was blocked by the dense, impenetrable Nihility Qi, unable to advance even an inch, making it impossible to explore what lay behind the rock wall.

The Mustard Seed Space relic he suspected, if it really existed, must be behind the rock wall.

However, he dared not go any further.

The lightning power gathered at the gourd's waist was likely a method prepared by this world to prevent the intrusion of Nihility Qi. If he crossed that point, it was hard to say that it wouldn't trigger a reaction from the lightning power and strike him with a bolt of lightning.

With his current strength, he couldn't withstand such terrifying heavenly might.

Moreover, he couldn't stay here for long. Just now, that bolt of lightning that generated spiritual power must have originated from here. He was far away, so he wasn't affected. Now, he was only fifty zhang away. If heavenly lightning struck, he definitely wouldn't have time to escape.

He also believed that even if Wu Yuankui had really fallen to this place, he must have already found a way to leave and wouldn't be trapped here.

"Zhang San, have you discovered that gray shadow?"

"Reporting, Master, there is no trace of it here."

"None? What about in the cave on that side?"

"There are many traces of demons active there, and Zhang San cannot distinguish whether it is among them." Zhang San said, suddenly warning, "Master, a demon is hiding in the Nihility Qi and sneaking over here. Should we kill it?"

Zhang Yuanjing quickly stopped him: "No. There is lightning power swirling here, and a slight carelessness will trigger a killing intent. Open your protective power and prevent it from getting close."

With Zhang San's reminder, Zhang Yuanjing then paid attention to the movement at the gourd's waist.

This place was about fifteen or sixteen zhang long, ten zhang high, and four to five zhang wide. The Nihility Qi that poured in from below was only a few zhang away from the lightning power accumulated above, but apart from the mutual stimulation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the Nihility Power, the lightning power remained stable and was not affected by the agitation of the two Qi below.

"What exactly enters that would cause the lightning power to descend?" A question popped into Zhang Yuanjing's mind.

At this moment, his divine sense, through the cover of the two Qi below, discovered that on the rock layer in the middle of the gourd's waist, there were several dark stones, two of which were slightly larger, about the size of a fist, and the rest were only the size of pebbles, and some were even only the size of a fingernail.

He focused his divine sense on the two fist-sized black stones, and recalling the books he had read, a word suddenly flashed in his mind - Void Sky Stone!

The Void Sky Stone is a strange object from the void, specially used to resist lightning tribulation. It is the strongest tribulation-crossing object known to cultivators in this world so far.

This object is very rare, and if it occasionally falls from the sky, it will be discovered by nearby cultivators. Ordinary cultivators cannot keep it, and it is usually taken into the possession of powerful sects.

When a cultivator goes from Core Formation to Nascent Soul, they must experience the first lightning tribulation. Although relying on powerful magic weapons can also resist the lightning tribulation, if there is a Void Sky Stone, they can get great benefits from the lightning tribulation and enhance the foundation of the Nascent Soul's cultivation and fighting skills.

There are at least tens of thousands of Core Formation cultivators in this world. Anyone who wants to break through to Nascent Soul wants to get a Void Sky Stone for future use. Therefore, the competition for Void Sky Stones is very fierce, and many struggles between large sects often arise because of this.

Zhang Yuanjing's heart stirred. He took out the fine particles obtained from refining the alien demon with the Yin-Yang Creation Furnace and compared them carefully. It was indeed the same thing.

This meant that the alien demon actually carried a void object similar to the Void Sky Stone, but the quantity was very small and insufficient for use.

However, little by little, if a large number of alien demons were refined, the resulting amount would be enough for use when breaking through to Nascent Soul.

He looked at the two fist-sized Void Sky Stones again. If these stones were produced by the thunderous killing of alien demons, then those alien demons must be of a very high level, at least at the Deity Transformation Realm.

He recalled that in the Void Demon World, several Nascent Soul True Ones had said that if a Deity Transformation Realm alien demon appeared in the Void Demon World, the will of heaven and earth would definitely use the power of thunder to forcibly clear the Void Demon World, regardless of the consequences.

The situation here may be similar to that. Once an alien demon of the Deity Transformation Realm or higher tries to break into the gourd's belly, the gathered lightning power will strike down and kill it.

The difference is that this place is a real place in this world, unlike the Void Demon World and the Mustard Seed Space, which are interlayer spaces between the spiritual world of heaven and earth and the void outside the sky. Even if heavenly thunder descends, it will not cause the space to shatter and the gap in the heaven and earth, causing a large range of leakage of the spiritual power of heaven and earth into the void outside the sky.

This gourd-shaped cave is undoubtedly intentionally formed by heaven and earth to prevent the invasion of Nihility Qi, and when danger occurs, to descend heavenly thunder to protect the safety of the realm.

How to get the two Void Sky Stones? Zhang Yuanjing's mind flashed through one thought after another.

The first thing he thought of was Earth Escape Technique, but he quickly rejected it. At the gourd's waist, the spiritual power in the ground surged upwards, conflicting with the Nihility Power above, and the Qi was very chaotic. If he went to get it from the ground, he would have to rush into this chaotic Qi, and it was hard to say what kind of danger it would cause.

Then he thought that it would be better to let the Source Stone take it, but this thing had already developed spiritual consciousness, just like a life, and he couldn't bear to let him take the risk, so he decided to use the Jade Spirit Snake.

He hung the Yang Refining Umbrella above his head, asked Zhang Shi to carefully guard against the alien demon's attack, and then sacrificed the Jade Spirit Snake, infused it with mana, transformed it into a cyan long snake, and drove it to fly towards the two Void Sky Stones.

At first, it was normal. When this cyan long snake entered the gourd's waist and was agitated by the two Qi, it began to sway from side to side, unable to stabilize its body at all, let alone get close to the Void Sky Stone in the center of the chaotic Qi area.

Zhang Yuanjing tried several times, and consumed a lot of mana, but he was still unable to make the cyan long snake accurately land within three feet of the two stones.

Out of desperation, he could only take back the Jade Spirit Snake, summon the Source Stone, explain the danger inside to Zhang Shi, let him pass through the ground, and must adapt to the upward rushing force of the spiritual energy in the ground before he could come out of the ground to take the two Void Sky Stones, and he must be fast, and immediately shrink back into the ground after taking them, and must not stay even for a moment.

Zhang Shi still had the vigor of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, and proudly agreed, then drilled into the soil and went to the gourd's waist.

Zhang Yuanjing's Qi was connected to Zhang Shi, and their thoughts were the same. When he escaped to the ground below the two Void Sky Stones, he felt the surging momentum of the spiritual energy rushing upwards below. The Source Stone could not stabilize its body at all, and it was swaying from side to side even in the soil.

However, to Zhang Yuanjing's surprise, although Zhang Shi's spiritual consciousness was just born, he was quite clever. Using his control over the power of the earth, he used the force to swing, and accurately went to the bottom of the two stones, then quickly rushed out, swallowed the two stones into his body, and drilled back into the soil, moved horizontally for dozens of zhang, and left the area where the spiritual energy was surging.
