Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"What do you think of these two Divine Grace Envoys? What are their origins?" After pondering for a long while, King Gold sighed and stopped talking about Right Envoy Jin and White King, asking about Fire Crow Taoist and his group.

Old Seven Chai pondered for a moment and said, "This subordinate believes that these two Divine Grace Envoys have no special origins and are just Taoist cultivators who accidentally got caught in the Netherworld Cave. I think the King has the same judgment, including Chang Guangming, Lü Yang, Qi Feng, and those Dharma Transmission Envoys. The Vajras and Arhats are harder to say, but anyone with a little knowledge can understand.

"Why? Because there has never been a real Divine Grace Envoy! The Divine Grace Envoys of the past were nothing more than two types. One was deliberately arranged by the Cult Master, either to promote divine power and strengthen the faith of the followers, or to deal with Divine Envoys or Kings who had ulterior motives. These Divine Envoys were mostly powerful Taoist cultivators or demonic cultivators, all helpers the Cult Master found from outside.

"The other type is those who accidentally get caught in the Netherworld Cave. In the history of our Divine Cult, there have been at least three instances. The most recent one, five hundred years ago, wasn't it the old ancestor of Seven Stars Cave? This person had some ability and was arranged to kill Earth Demon Beasts, and he stubbornly persisted for nearly ten years before his spiritual power was exhausted and he died.

"The earlier one was two thousand years ago, when two beautiful female cultivators were caught, but they were only Foundation Establishment cultivators, and were eventually seized by the Cult Master of that generation!

"The earliest one was the old ancestor of the Star Moon Sect, True Man Kuiyin. At that time, his strength was at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation realm. He was powerful and had many methods. The Cult Master at the time did not dare to insult him lightly, but treated him with courtesy, inviting him to jointly annihilate the Earth Demon Beasts. Later, he lent him Mount Xuanyin, and that's how the Star Moon Sect came to be.

"So, King, this subordinate believes that these people were also accidentally caught. Chang Guangming clearly knows this and immediately went to curry favor, just to disrupt your plans!"

King Gold frowned and said, "Chang Guangming seems to be full of bad ideas, just wanting to use these people to disrupt my plan? We are just taking the opportunity to offer some treasures so that Lord Candle Dragon can recover his strength and increase the difficulty for the Cult Master candidates to fuse. This plan can be sent through normal means without going through the Netherworld Cave sacrifice."

Old Seven Chai shook his head, "King, it's not that simple. At this time, no matter what you offer, the Left Envoy may not really let Lord Candle Dragon eat it. According to the rules of the Cult, the Left Envoy serves Lord Candle Dragon, and the Right Envoy teaches the divine techniques. Without the Left Envoy's offering, no matter how good things are, they won't reach Lord Candle Dragon's mouth.

"However, if it comes out of the Netherworld Cave, it's different. It contains the will of the Upper God. If the Right Envoy and you propose it together, the Left Envoy won't dare to stop it in front of the congregation of the main altar. Now, with the Divine Grace Envoys, naturally the Divine Grace Envoys have the final say. Therefore, Chang Guangming is keeping a close eye on these people, not giving you a chance to remedy the situation."

King Gold was silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "Actually, I, Old Gold, also thought of these things, but I still had some wishful thinking. Your analysis has made me give up on this idea. Alas, with this, there is no way to ease the situation. Either it's like the Left Envoy, creating a Cult Master, giving everyone another master to rule over them, their life and death determined by her; or it's like Right Envoy Jin and Old White, killing the Left Envoy and controlling Lord Candle Dragon. The final result is unpredictable, and it might even break up the Divine Cult!

"Fortunately, fortunately, Old Seven, you came up with such a trick, using the matter of expelling the Earth Demon Beasts to bind the Divine Grace Envoys here. No matter how long it can be delayed, at least there is still a chance to think of a comprehensive solution."

Old Seven Chai chuckled, "King, there is no need to worry so much. In fact, there is a simple way, which is to use this time to persuade these two Divine Grace Envoys to act according to our will. This is even better than our original plan!"

King Gold's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "How to persuade them? That Chang Guangming is not easy to deal with!"

Old Seven Chai snorted softly, "It's nothing more than delay, pull, push, and block. Delay, of course, is to delay time. When these so-called Divine Grace Envoys are helpless against the Earth Demon Beasts, the followers will naturally no longer admire them so much. In this way, without that layer of halo, they will naturally know how powerful we are. At that time, we can win them over, using both coercion and inducement, giving them everything they deserve. These two are in the territory of our Candle God Cult, looking around, not to mention reinforcements, they don't even know which direction to run. It will definitely be easy to handle them.

"At the same time, push Chang Guangming out. He is the incense master of the main altar, and it is always against the rules for him to stay here for a long time. If he wants to take these people away, we will mobilize the followers to stop him. How dare Chang Guangming act tough! With so many measures taken together, what else can these people do except obediently listen to the King!"

In the next few days, "Righteous Fire Envoy" led Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Taoist, running around, inspecting the buildings and mineral veins destroyed by the Earth Demon Beasts, checking the situation of the killed followers, comforting the injured, and leading everyone to pray to the Candle God, busy fulfilling their duties as Divine Grace Envoys.

This was also due to Chang Guangming's guidance.

His suggestion was to first put on a good show, establish a friendly image in the hearts of more followers, and at the same time learn more about the Earth Demon Beasts, strive to annihilate a batch of Earth Demon Beasts in a short period of time, give the followers an explanation, and then leave this place immediately.

Of course, after discussing with Zhang Yuanjing, Fire Crow Taoist naturally adopted some of it and had other plans.

According to the information learned, the place where Earth Demon Beasts appear most frequently is the station of Cold Spring Altar in the North Three Altars. This place is a canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing an abyss on one side, covering an area of dozens of miles. In the valley, near the hidden place where the two mountains on the north side meet, there is a deep pool, extremely cold, called Nine Nether Cold Spring, which is an important place of the Candle God Cult. The Cold Spring Altar is named after guarding this place.

Because this cold pool is full of turbid air and the valley is full of green plants, it is very suitable for demonic cultivators to live in. Therefore, there are many followers living in this valley. Half of the more than 100,000 followers in the North Three Altars live here, so the frequency of Earth Demon Beast attacks on this place is also very high. Therefore, Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing decided to use this place as the first choice for gathering and annihilating Earth Demon Beasts.

On this day, they camped and rested on a hillside near the mountain on the east side of the valley. Accompanying them were Chang Guangming, as well as King Gold's confidants, Altar Master Liu Zhongzhu of Netherworld Altar, Altar Master Zhao Shijie of Cold Spring Altar, as well as three Dharma Transmission Envoys, and one hundred Foundation Establishment realm followers.

At midnight, Zhang Yuanjing set up an isolation formation, and then used Earth Escape Technique to drill into the ground.

He wandered aimlessly. Several hours passed, and he searched the soil layer within a few miles and more than two hundred feet without seeing any living things.

After diving to below two hundred feet, he immediately made a discovery in his spiritual sense. At a depth of nearly two hundred and forty feet, there was a four-foot-long, pointed-horn monster with a slender body, pitch black, exuding a strong bloody smell, with its eyes half-closed, as if dozing off.

Zhang Yuanjing approached a few feet, and the monster woke up from its slumber, revealing two emerald-like eyes, and a pair of small, semi-circular ears, shaking rapidly.

This monster is not strong. Judging from its aura, it is only a Blood Refining realm demonic monster. However, its hearing is very sensitive. Even if Zhang Yuanjing concealed his movements with the Soil Separation Technique, it still heard some sounds.

However, it did not run away, because there were many companions of it in the soil, and it was normal to hear some sounds.

As Zhang Yuanjing slowly approached, this beast showed some doubts. Its round and thick nose twitched, as if it had noticed something unusual. Suddenly, it turned around and ran backwards.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanjing immediately chased after it, no longer concealing his movements.

With his strength as a Core Formation cultivator, once he let go, his Earth Escape speed was much faster than that of the Earth Demon Beast, and he quickly caught up with it, pressed it into the soil with one palm, and then smashed its head with a punch, pinching the two green, gem-like eyes in his hand.

Earth Demon Beasts will condense a magic core in their abdomen when they reach the Saint Core realm. Below the Foundation Establishment realm, there is no magic core, only two eyeballs that have been tempered by turbid air, which are good items. The token to prove the killing of Earth Demon Beasts is the eyeballs of the Earth Demon Beasts.

Zhang Yuanjing continued to wander in the soil below two hundred feet. After half an hour, he found another Earth Demon Beast and killed it.

In this way, by the beginning of Mao time, he was exhausted and only killed twelve Earth Demon Beasts after searching the deep soil of nearly three hundred feet.

After coming out of the ground, he told Fire Crow Taoist about the situation. This old Taoist, who had been practicing for several days and now had a bit of a swindler temperament, was also at a loss. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Let's go ask Chang Guangming."

When the sky was bright, the two found Chang Guangming, who was already standing outside the camp with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, and brought up the problem.

This Saint Core Great Perfection demonic cultivator, the head of the eight great incense masters of the Divine Cult, immediately smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and said, "The two envoys are dedicated to their duties and diligent in their work, always thinking about solving problems for the followers, which is truly heartwarming for us believers, as if we are directly bathed in divine grace, and our hearts are full of admiration and love for the Upper God!"

Then, he changed the subject and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Earth Demon Beasts have always been a significant harm, often rampant and arrogant. The root cause lies in the large number of demons, deeply hidden underground, and scattered. It is extremely difficult to capture and kill them. I know that the two envoys may have Earth Escape techniques, but wanting to use this to kill a large number of demons is just wishful thinking.

"Many intelligent and resourceful people have come from the past Cult Masters of our Divine Cult. How could they not have thought of this idea! After years of attempts, the Divine Cult has also created similar Earth Escape techniques. Most of the Saint Core realm followers will practice it. However, this technique can only allow Foundation Establishment realm followers to dive up to 150 feet, and even Dharma Transmission Envoys in the Saint Core realm can hardly exceed 300 feet. After the Earth Demon Beasts suffered several big losses, they all hid in the soil layers below 200 or 300 feet, and this technique became useless. Therefore, in the recent encirclements and suppressions of Earth Demon Beasts, rare demonic plants are used to lure the Earth Demon Beasts out of the ground, so as to kill them in large numbers."

These days, Chang Guangming followed these "Divine Grace Envoys" around, observing their actions with a cold eye. Seeing that they had nothing special, he expected them to encounter setbacks, and then he would take action, both to teach this "Righteous Fire Envoy" a lesson, letting him know his own weight and not talk nonsense, and also an opportunity to show kindness and win them over, so as to persuade them to go to the main altar with him as soon as possible, in order to delay the situation and cause complications.

Fire Crow Taoist turned a blind eye to Chang Guangming's sarcasm and keenly asked, "What are the demonic plants that Incense Master Chang is talking about? What level is required to attract a large number of Earth Demon Beasts?"

"The so-called demonic plants are similar to the spiritual plants you mentioned, but they are born from the essence of turbid air. For demonic cultivators and demonic creatures, they are natural treasures for rapidly improving their strength. As for the level, similar to the first rank of Xuan grade in spiritual plants, it can attract most Earth Demon Beasts!" Chang Guangming explained a few words and casually asked, "Does Righteous Fire Envoy have demonic plants?"

Fire Crow Taoist said inscrutablely, "This Divine Envoy is just asking. Thank you, Incense Master Chang, for answering my questions!"

After saying that, he didn't ask any more questions, gave Zhang Yuanjing a wink, and the two said goodbye and left, leaving Chang Guangming with an uncertain expression on his face, standing in place, pondering to himself.
