Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing hadn't anticipated that Wen Zaidao's earth遁術 (earth escape technique) would be so advanced, allowing him to move freely even in the soil six hundred zhang deep, and still have energy to spare.

He had obtained the true inheritance of the ancient Hou Tu Sect, and originally thought he had an absolute advantage in cultivation methods, making escaping with his life no problem. Who would have thought that Wen Zaidao, after all, was a Nascent Soul cultivator; even if he practiced incomplete techniques, it would be enough to match him in earth escape.

What's more troublesome is that above ground, there is also a Nascent Soul cultivator constantly watching his movements. Even if he speeds up his escape, he can only shake off Wen Zaidao at most, but cannot escape from Lu Dingyi's divine sense.

He certainly couldn't really escape to Tianque Mountain. Millions of miles would require several rests even when flying in the sky, let alone escaping in the deep earth.

Five days later, Zhang Yuanjing made the Source Stone return to its round shape, trapping him inside, and stopped moving in the soil. Completely still.

For Wen Zaidao, this change came extremely suddenly, making him suspicious.

Although he didn't know how long a Core Formation cultivator who practiced the complete Earth Splitting Art and the complete Hou Tu Skill could last in the deep earth, based on his own situation, he estimated that Zhang Yuanjing would be exhausted in at least ten days, or even fifteen days.

Therefore, he suspected that this was a trick played by Zhang Yuanjing to lure him closer so that he could use some mysterious means.

He didn't know why Zhang Yuanjing would play such a flawed and obvious trick, but since he was sure it was a trap, he would naturally not act rashly. So he stopped ten zhang above Zhang Yuanjing and carefully observed.

Lu Dingyi on the ground, seeing this, naturally began to urge Wen Zaidao to act again. Wen Zaidao simply pretended not to hear and sat down in the soil in a cultivation posture, beginning to meditate and recover his mana.

Lu Dingyi was furious, and he bombarded Wen Zaidao with sarcasm, wishing he also knew earth escape so he could drill down and capture Zhang Yuanjing.

Wen Zaidao remained unmoved.

His Nascent Soul realm was hard-earned. When he passed through the space channel of the Mustard Seed Space, he was drawn by some kind of power of heaven and earth and did not directly return to the East Victory World. Instead, he was stranded on a giant rock outside the realm.

He wandered around in the outer space, chased by extraterrestrial demons like a stray dog, and was almost eaten by the demons several times. Fortunately, he was lucky and finally found an entrance, from which he drilled in, while the many demons behind him were all killed by the heavenly thunder that descended from above.

He was very close and was affected by the power of the thunder, leaving his body broken, but he was constantly repaired by the newly generated spiritual energy, which directly brought him to the Great Perfection of Core Formation and broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The whole process was full of danger, and every breath was spent on the verge of life and death. If he couldn't withstand the destruction of the thunder power even once, he would turn into ashes.

At the critical moment of life and death, the solid foundation he had laid down through years of hard work played a key role, and the heavy advantage brought by the earth skill was also an important factor for him to withstand it. Under many coincidences, he actually withstood the annihilation of the thunder power, broke through and stood up, and unexpectedly laid the foundation for the Nascent Soul in one fell swoop.

The result was of course gratifying, but only those who have experienced it personally know how difficult and how lucky it was. If he could choose, he would never choose such a path to promotion.

Time passed little by little in extreme boredom. Lu Dingyi on the ground also calmed down and stopped wasting his breath urging Wen Zaidao.

Wen Zaidao calculated the time and, on the eleventh day, slowly approached the boulder below, holding the yellow bead.

When he was five zhang above the boulder, he concentrated and listened carefully. At first, he couldn't hear any sound. It wasn't until he completely focused his divine sense on the boulder that he heard extremely weak and faint breathing.

Is he in deep sleep? Or is he exhausted? Wen Zaidao couldn't tell.

What he was most worried about was that Zhang Yuanjing would rather die than be captured, so he hid in the soil and relied on some secret method from the Hou Tu Skill to maintain a trace of life, trying to resist stubbornly. This might be a feasible method, but if his cultivation was insufficient, it would damage his life instead.

This person's mind contains the Earth Method Eight Secrets that their Wen family has dreamed of for thousands of years. It is close at hand and easily obtainable. If he is careless and allows this person to court death, the Earth Method Eight Secrets will no longer be known and will no longer be obtainable.

However, this situation may also be a false appearance created by Zhang Yuanjing. Back then, this person used this trick to kill the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Sky Demon Abyss in Cu Mountain!

He hesitated for a moment and decided to take another look.

Lu Dingyi saw Wen Zaidao's actions above and thought he finally couldn't help but take action to capture someone. Unexpectedly, this person went down a few zhang and stopped moving again.

He laughed in anger and transmitted his voice, saying, "Real Person Wen, could it be that cultivators who practice earth skills are all like this Zhang Yuanjing, with the nickname 'Mole Taoist'?"

Wen Zaidao knew that this person had looked down on him from the beginning, so he ridiculed him again and again. He sneered in his heart, but he didn't show any annoyance, only replying, "This person is here, there is no difference between catching him sooner or later. Let's wait a few more days!"

Lu Dingyi was choked by these words until the veins on his forehead throbbed, and he cursed hatefully, but he was helpless.

Three days later, the boulder where Zhang Yuanjing was located was still motionless.

Wen Zaidao, seeing this, did not feel relieved, but became even more suspicious, because Zhang Yuanjing's actions were too abnormal. If he couldn't last long in the deep earth, he shouldn't stop moving and seek his own death.

Wen Zaidao would never believe that a cultivator would deliberately put himself in a desperate situation and let himself die when he still had hope of escape.

Therefore, he always felt that Zhang Yuanjing, hidden in the stone, must still be unharmed, and was staring at him with two eyes full of murderous intent, waiting for him to take the bait.

Therefore, even after five days, he still remained motionless, just waiting for Zhang Yuanjing to reveal a flaw.

Two days later, as he expected, Zhang Yuanjing, seeing that he had not been fooled, lost his patience and began to escape at a rapid speed, shuttling like a sword even at a depth of more than six hundred zhang.

Wen Zaidao was both proud and surprised, and hurriedly tried to catch up, but found that he couldn't keep up at all. He quickly went up fifty zhang and accelerated his pursuit in the ground at more than five hundred zhang.

Lu Dingyi on the ground was almost going crazy, flying forward while cursing, "Two vermin! It's really hateful!"

Zhang Yuanjing ran for two days without stopping. At first, he was still at a depth of more than six hundred zhang, but later he felt that his mana couldn't take it, so he moved upwards, gradually rising to more than three hundred zhang. Naturally, his speed was only faster than Wen Zaidao.

Wen Zaidao finally dispelled his doubts and knew that this was Zhang Yuanjing's true speed of escaping in the soil, half a point faster than his Nascent Soul realm. The situation where he had been moving slowly in the ground and was quickly caught up by him was actually just a deception.

He wasn't worried. With Lu Dingyi locking on above, no matter how fast Zhang Yuanjing ran in the soil, he couldn't be faster than Lu Dingyi.

Moreover, the faster Zhang Yuanjing escaped, the greater the consumption. After more than twenty days of patient competition, he didn't believe that Zhang Yuanjing had much mana left to use.

After another day, Zhang Yuanjing's speed gradually slowed down. Suddenly, he drilled down again, all the way to six hundred and fifty zhang, before stopping and remaining motionless, just like before.

Wen Zaidao was a little dumbfounded, not knowing what Zhang Yuanjing was up to. Did he still have the mana to withstand the strong pressure in the deep earth?

This stop lasted for ten full days. On the eleventh day, Zhang Yuanjing began to accelerate his escape again and quickly rose to a depth of three hundred zhang.

After running wildly for three days, Zhang Yuanjing repeated his old trick and sank into the depths of six hundred and fifty zhang again, stopping and remaining motionless.

"Real Person Wen, don't you understand yet? He has clearly cultivated a secret technique that allows him to replenish his mana quickly in the soil. If you let him continue like this, are you going to catch him in Tianque Mountain? If you don't take action again, Lu will not accompany you to waste time like this!"
