Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After discussing with Zhang Yuanjing, Fire Crow Daoist ultimately chose the conservative approach: postpone the great battle with the Earth Demon Beast for one to two years, make full preparations, help the North Three Altars' followers win two more satisfying victories, completely win over the allegiance of these 100,000 followers, and then go to the main altar to seize the opportunity.

Zhang Yuanjing and the other were still arranged by Gold Dharma King in his high-rise building, each with a practice room for their cultivation.

Because Zhang Yuanjing needed to refine pills, Gold Dharma King also provided a special pill refining room, complete with restrictions, so that once opened, there was no need to worry about being spied on by others.

The Heavenly Fire Flowing Gold Grass and Glazed Wood, which are needed to refine the Molten Gold Tempering Pill, were relatively difficult to cultivate. The last time he opened the furnace to refine pills, both had been exhausted. Therefore, he spent half of his time each day cultivating these two spiritual plants, and the remaining time was spent practicing with the Molten Gold Tempering Pill or entering the ground to temper his bones with the Sky Pillar Art and the black mud substance.

Both had the effect of tempering the body, and doing them simultaneously complemented each other, and the more he cultivated, the better the effect, and the effect on the divine soul gradually became apparent.

As for Ape Thirteen and the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, they were also released to devour and refine the black mud substance in the room. The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was fine, but Ape Thirteen felt suffocated, but Zhang Yuanjing had strict orders, so it dared not act rashly.

Fire Crow Daoist also remained calm, and except for occasionally dealing with Gold Dharma King, he spent the rest of his time cultivating in his room. He continued to take the Molten Gold Tempering Pill, pushing his cultivation slowly and arduously towards the Great Perfection realm.

Soon, nearly a year had passed.

That day, Lan Xianyu suddenly visited, went straight to the top floor, and knocked on Fire Crow Daoist's door. Gold Dharma King and his few confidants were all absent, only two Dharma Transmission Envoys accompanied her. Their expressions were slightly awkward, but they couldn't stop this woman.

Fire Crow Daoist's heart stirred, knowing that this one probably had something important to say, so he smiled and said, "Altar Lord Lan has come here specially, is it to seek this Envoy to discuss the secrets of the Daoist school? I happen to be bored, it's good to have Altar Lord Lan to talk to!"

Seeing his meaningful expression, Lan Xianyu knew that this old Daoist had probably already seen through her purpose, so she laughed heartily like Gold Dharma King, "Thank you, Righteous Envoy Fire, for your kindness. Xianyu has many questions and wants to ask you for advice."

"Then please come in."

Fire Crow Daoist did not avoid suspicion and let Lan Xianyu into the room, then looked at the two Dharma Transmission Envoys, "Would you two like to join us?"

The two looked at each other, and one shook his head and said, "Altar Lord Lan is seeking advice from Righteous Envoy Fire, we will not disturb you."

Fire Crow Daoist nodded slightly and closed the door, but not tightly.

He invited Lan Xianyu to sit down, and the two began to talk about the formation techniques of Daoist cultivators. However, this was only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, the two were still talking through voice transmission.

"Righteous Envoy Fire, although I have some doubts about your identity, judging from your actions after arriving at the North Three Altars, you have always stood on the side of the Divine Sect. Although I am Gold Dharma King's younger sister and belong to the North Three Altars faction, I am not a narrow-minded person. The good or bad of the North Three Altars is closely related to the rise and fall of the Divine Sect. Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided to report some situations to you."

"This Envoy is all ears!"

"My elder brother, Gold Dharma King, may not support the two Envoys going to the main altar."

"Oh, why is that? This Envoy observes that Gold Dharma King is a man of his word. Since he has agreed, how can he change his mind?"

"Although my brother has expressed his loyalty to the Venerable Envoys in front of the followers, that does not mean that he is willing to protect the Venerable Envoys to the main altar to heal the inherited divine beast. Because, if Left Divine Envoy successfully supports the Sect Leader, he, and me, and many people in the North Three Altars, will definitely suffer, and may even lose their lives."

Fire Crow Daoist's expression became serious upon hearing this.

Lan Xianyu's visit seemed to be concealing it from Gold Dharma King, but in reality, she was here to act as his lobbyist.

Moreover, these siblings' interests were intertwined and their lives were connected. Lan Xianyu's words represented the position of Gold Dharma King's faction and needed to be treated with caution.

Immediately, he asked in a deep voice, "Why is this? Could it be that Gold Dharma King has a feud with Left Divine Envoy?"

Lan Xianyu pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Our Lan family and Left Divine Envoy's faction have indeed had grudges for a long time. Back then, after the previous Sect Leader disappeared, the Candle God Sect still had four Incarnation Realm demon cultivators, who respectively controlled the main altar, the Dharma Transmission Altar, the North Three Altars, and the South Three Altars, occupying the inheritance and identities of the Left and Right Divine Envoys and the Gold and White Dharma Kings. At that time, the Left Divine Envoy and Gold Dharma King were from the same sect, and the two factions joined forces to lead the affairs of the Divine Sect.

"Later, Right Divine Envoy used treacherous schemes to buy off spies, sow discord, causing Left Divine Envoy and Gold Dharma King to part ways, and the Divine Sect fell into a state of division. The four factions each controlled one side, and the struggles continued, with serious internal friction. After the disciple of that generation's Left Divine Envoy took over, he was particularly hostile to Gold Dharma King's faction, and tried every means to suppress them, and the conflict between the two factions became increasingly acute.

"In this generation of Left Divine Envoy, his character is quite fair, and he prioritizes the overall situation of the Divine Sect in everything he does, and has done many things to ease the conflict. My elder brother has a relatively normal relationship with him. However, after all, the human heart is unpredictable. This generation of Left Divine Envoy is far-sighted and alleviates the conflict, perhaps only for a certain goal. Once the goal is achieved, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, settling accounts after the autumn harvest. Therefore, my elder brother is worried that after the new Sect Leader takes office, he will rely on the Left Envoy, and the North Three Altars will probably be in danger."

Buying off spies and sowing discord! Fire Crow Daoist shook his head secretly, thinking that things were not that simple.

He had seen too much infighting in his life. Conflicts, no matter how big or small, always involved interests, the conflicts of interest of one person, a group of people, or a faction, accumulated over time, and in the end became irreconcilable. Once ignited by a small incident, it would be out of control.

If it was just being instigated, just a misunderstanding, after thousands of years, it would have been forgotten. How could Gold Dharma King, this boor, still be brooding over it and worried about it today.

"Then, what are your brother and sister's plans?" Fire Crow Daoist asked calmly.

Lan Xianyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Venerable Envoys, I wonder where you are from? If, if you two were accidentally caught in the Netherworld Cave, then there is no need to go to the main altar. The affairs of the Candle God Sect have nothing to do with you two. Rashly getting involved in it will not only bring no benefits, but also put your lives in danger. After the monster extermination operation is over, my brother and I will prepare a generous gift and escort the two Venerable Envoys out of the country."

Fire Crow Daoist knew that saying any more nonsense about divine grace envoys descending was simply insulting the other party, so he nodded with a smile, "Altar Lord Lan is right, Zhang Deputy Envoy and I were indeed accidentally caught in the Netherworld Cave. However, we are not irrelevant people, but have come to your sect to look for someone."

Lan Xianyu's two small eyes stared at the white-haired, red-faced old Daoist in front of her, and solemnly asked, "Who?"

Fire Crow Daoist put away his smile and said solemnly, "A woman, surnamed Zhang, named Xuan, whose most significant characteristic is that she has cultivated your sect's inherited technique, the Candle Shadow Art!"

"Holy Maiden!"

"That's right, according to what your brother and sister said before, it is your sect's current Holy Maiden!"

Lan Xianyu's rough face was full of surprise, and she couldn't speak for a long time, and even forgot to discuss formations as a cover.

Fire Crow Daoist remained calm as usual, took over her words, and began to introduce how to arrange the trapping formations in the Daoist school in general.

Lan Xianyu took this opportunity to calm her thunderous mood and turn her thoughts to consider how to respond.

However, in the end, she only said one sentence, and asked him to allow her to discuss it with her elder brother before replying to Righteous Envoy Fire.

A few days later, Gold Dharma King, looking travel-worn, went straight to the top floor to visit the two Divine Grace Envoys.

Before Gold Dharma King could speak, Fire Crow Daoist went straight to the point and said, "Dharma King, you know our origins, you are a straightforward person, and I don't want to beat around the bush. Let's talk frankly and openly. If we can reach an agreement, we will continue to cooperate. If not, we will break up and go our separate ways, without interfering with each other. What do you think?"

These words made Gold Dharma King a little confused. He had already discussed countermeasures with his sister, but at this time, he was suppressed by Fire Crow Daoist's aura and felt a little guilty. He stammered, "Righteous Envoy Fire, what do you want to talk about? I, Old Gold, am a little confused and didn't understand!"

"Of course, it is to go to the main altar to heal your sect's inherited divine beast and help Deputy Envoy Zhang's disciple, Zhang Xuan, ascend to the position of Sect Leader!" Fire Crow Daoist stared straight into Gold Dharma King's eyes, his aura fierce and his tone aggressive.

"That, that Zhang Xuan, is Deputy Envoy Zhang's disciple?" Gold Dharma King was taken aback, looked at Zhang Yuanjing, who was sitting aside and smiling without saying a word, and stammered as he spoke.

"That's right, your sect's Holy Maiden, the woman brought to the main altar by Xing Guanghan of Crimson Blood Valley, is Deputy Envoy Zhang's disciple. Xing Guanghan knows about this, and Gold Dharma King can seek him to verify it in the future. I wonder if Dharma King is willing to help us?" Fire Crow Daoist pressed on step by step, not giving Gold Dharma King any chance to breathe.

Gold Dharma King laughed dryly twice, avoided the important and dwelt on the trivial, and said, "This, this is really a coincidence. The Netherworld Cave brought the two of you in, perhaps it is really the arrangement of the gods! I, Old Gold, have said it, I will obey the orders of the two Divine Grace Envoys, and I have no second thoughts."

Fire Crow Daoist sneered, "Gold Dharma King, you have always been a straightforward person, why bother being so evasive and timid! What is the feud between you Lan family and Left Divine Envoy's faction? Is there any possibility of resolving it, or what kind of guarantee is needed to be willing to go to the main altar to help us heal the inherited divine beast? You might as well make it clear, so that we can make a plan, lest everyone guess and scheme, and complicate things instead!"

The expression on Gold Dharma King's face changed uncertainly. After hesitating for a long time, he finally widened his copper bell eyes and said in a rough voice, "Since Righteous Envoy Fire said so, I, Old Gold, will not hide anything. I will make things clear to the two Divine Envoys face to face, and I also ask the two Envoys to understand Old Gold's difficulties and not force me too much."
