Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing listened in silence for a long time. The truth was too convoluted and involved super sects too deeply, making it hard for him to believe.

“The direct lineage of the Farmer School has been away from Jixia Academy for hundreds of years. If they return, can they persuade Nascent Soul stage combat power to help us? After all, there is also a super force behind the Abyss of Heavenly Demons,” Zhang Yuanjing asked after a long while.

Tong Tianfu stroked his smooth chin and said, “That’s not really a problem. Since the Abyss of Heavenly Demons hasn’t made their identity clear, why should Jixia Academy care? As for whether the direct lineage of the Farmer School can persuade the higher-ups of the academy, that’s certainly not certain, but it’s still a way, and we have to try. Moreover, I believe that as long as the direct lineage of the Farmer School does its best, it will likely succeed!”

“Oh? Why is the Real Person so sure? I wonder what kind of figures this direct lineage still has?” Zhang Yuanjing asked.

From what Guo Yuanmeng said, and the vague words of Su Yuanxiao, he had already guessed that the person from the direct lineage of the Farmer School was Su Yuanxiao.

“The direct lineage of the Farmer School still has several outstanding figures, two of whom you have met.”

Tong Tianfu sighed softly and said quickly, “One is your Shuntian Qi, Uncle-Master Shu, and the other is her disciple, Su Yuanxiao. Your Uncle-Master Shu, originally named Su Yuqi, is the direct granddaughter of the last Real Person of the direct lineage of the Farmer School. She has extremely high aptitude but was unwilling to learn the Farmer School’s spiritual plant techniques. With Real Person Pan’s permission, she entered my Xuantian Sect to cultivate and practice Xuantian techniques.

“Su Yuanxiao is the granddaughter of Su Yuqi’s elder brother and is the most talented descendant of the direct lineage of the Farmer School in spiritual plant techniques. Although she also entered my Xuantian Sect, she mainly practices the direct lineage techniques of the Farmer School. Real Person Qi valued her aptitude and allowed her to practice my Xuantian Sect’s techniques. Her cultivation progress is not very fast, not because her aptitude is poor, but because she is distracted by using both.”

Zhang Yuanjing suddenly realized, “No wonder Junior Sister Su likes to cultivate spiritual plants; it turns out it’s because of her cultivation techniques.”

“That’s right. On this point, Yuanjing, you can talk to her. Back then, Yuan Kui had you practice the Thick Earth Sect’s techniques. I don’t know if it was intentional or a lucky coincidence? Now it seems to be just right for contributing to the sect. Haha!” Tong Tianfu said, suddenly laughing.

Zhang Yuanjing didn’t know what he meant, but he didn’t dare to guess, so he explained, “Back then, Senior Brother Yuan Kui saw that my cultivation progress in the sect’s earth-based techniques was too slow and worried that I would die before reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, so he had me switch to the Thick Earth Sect’s techniques. This technique is indeed suitable for my cultivation. Without this technique, where would I be today? I would probably have turned into a pile of yellow earth long ago.”

Tong Tianfu said meaningfully, “Yes, Real Person Pan and Real Person Qi are indeed outstanding figures of their generation, with deep foresight and long-term planning, burying their chess pieces early on. If not, I would have no way to seek external help today!”

Zhang Yuanjing couldn’t miss the hidden meaning in his words. He thought to himself: Unless I see Senior Brother Yuan Kui, I can’t guess whether the matter back then was intentional or unintentional. However, whether intentional or unintentional, what Senior Brother Yuan Kui did must have been for his sake, and not to use him to do anything.

So he changed the topic, “I wonder if Uncle-Master Shu and Junior Sister Su are willing to return to Jixia Academy to seek help for my Xuantian Sect?”

“Of course! They have received great kindness from my Xuantian Sect, so in this time of crisis, they should naturally contribute,” Tong Tianfu said as a matter of course. “Moreover, for their lineage, returning to their ancestral land is also their heart’s desire. The direct lineage of the Farmer School is not just your Uncle-Master Shu and Junior Sister Su.”

As soon as Zhang Yuanjing heard this, he knew that he must have persuaded the direct lineage of the Farmer School, including Shu and Su.

“Real Person summoned me here to explain this matter in detail, presumably there is an assignment arranged for me to do?”

Tong Tianfu nodded, but he didn’t immediately say how to do it. Instead, he first took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhang Yuanjing, “Take a look at this letter first.”

Zhang Yuanjing took the jade slip and gently touched his forehead to it. Instantly, a few hundred words flashed into his mind. The heading was—“Chu Tianxiong of the Abyss of Heavenly Demons presents this letter before Real Person Tong.”

The content was very simple. It stated that the Abyss of Heavenly Demons had come east across tens of millions of miles only to obtain the Flying Immortal Token or to find out about the whereabouts of the person who knew about the token. If the Xuantian Sect could hand them over, they would immediately retreat and never cause trouble.

If they were unwilling to hand them over, they would do everything in their power, using all their strength to achieve their goal! The writer used plain language, but the determination and threat within were clearly written on the paper, sharp and undisguised.

“This letter was sent to the Intercepting Yuan Hall by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the sect more than three years ago. He had already been controlled by evil magic. As soon as he put down the jade slip in front of the hall, he fell to the ground and died. This action is not only sending a letter, but also a naked threat,” Tong Tianfu said in a deep voice, his expression slightly cold, and a few more traces of killing intent unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

After reading the letter, Zhang Yuanjing had a guess in his mind and said solemnly, “What does the Real Person need me to do? Please instruct me.”

Tong Tianfu suddenly fixed his burning gaze on Zhang Yuanjing’s eyes and said with sincerity, “Yuanjing, although the Abyss of Heavenly Demons has repeatedly threatened and forced my Xuantian Sect to hand you over, I have never had this thought. Back then, the sect did not hand over Tiancong, Tianwan, and Tianwu, and today it will naturally not hand you over. If the Xuantian Sect has to rely on handing over its disciples to the enemy to survive, then it has no need to exist, because it can’t even protect its own disciples, so how can it continue to exist!”

He paused slightly and continued, “Letting you see Chu Tianxiong’s letter is not to put pressure on you and make you voluntarily sacrifice for the sect. Rather, it is to prompt me to make a decision, a very dangerous decision for you, which is to have you go to the Hengduan Mountains and attract the Abyss of Heavenly Demons and the combat power behind it there. Well, even including that Nascent Soul Real Person from the Thick Earth Sect. Originally, I was going to wait and see the results of Tiancong’s negotiations with Lingwu Mountain before deciding whether you or I should go. Now, no matter what the result is, let you go to the Hengduan Mountains first.

“Once you go to the Hengduan Mountains, the power behind the Abyss of Heavenly Demons will not rush to send a Nascent Soul cultivator to my sect, but will instead attack you. In Monster Suppression City, in order to maintain the face of the major sects in each domain, no one will dare to take action. However, once you leave Monster Suppression City, you will face multiple dangers.

“The Abyss of Heavenly Demons is one aspect, those Nascent Soul cultivators who covet your innate spiritual treasure are another aspect, and then there are the Transformation Stage demon beasts. I know very well that this is extremely unfair to you, so I had this idea long ago, but I have been hesitant. It wasn’t until I heard Yuanqing say some time ago that you safely escaped from the siege of two Nascent Souls that I made up my mind to tell you this decision!”

After saying that, Tong Tianfu looked straight at Zhang Yuanjing, waiting for him to speak.

Zhang Yuanjing had already considered this matter, so he was not surprised, nor was he angry or disappointed. If he were the only Nascent Soul in charge of the Xuantian Sect, he would probably make the same decision. Many times, determination is one thing, but action is another. There is no other reason, just not enough strength.

He nodded lightly and said calmly, “Real Person doesn’t need to worry, I will go to the Hengduan Mountains. However, I don’t understand, why did you tell me about the direct lineage of the Farmer School?”
