Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Hearing this, King Gold could no longer restrain himself, and shouted, “Are you following the fundamental scripture, or are you following yourself? Everything you say is right, and you still talk about truth and falsehood, purity and turbidity, right and wrong, hypocritical and shameless!”

Xun You Shan ignored his anger and instead recited with a pious expression, "Pity me, the people of this world, for the many sorrows and troubles!"

"What?" King Gold didn't hear clearly, but subconsciously had a bad premonition and casually asked.

Suddenly, the surroundings turned dark, and countless demonic shadows appeared, surrounding King Gold, Chai Laoqi, Zhao Shijie, and the two Dharma transmission envoys, Qi and Hou. They continuously emitted sharp howls and mournful cries, as if the world was spinning, and in an instant, everyone had entered the realm of demons.

"Demonic illusions! Quick, recite the Asura Hidden Killing Sutra to break this trapped formation!" King Gold roared.

The other four also reacted, each opening their mouths to recite obscure words, forming sound waves that blocked the howls of the countless demonic shadows.

Zhang Yuanjing, who was standing further away, saw the initial changes in the arena most clearly.

That somewhat timid and cowardly Zhou Kewen, when no one was paying attention to him, suddenly raised his hand and threw out an oversized talisman, half a foot long and three inches wide. Immediately, he exploded, turning into a pool of bright red blood, which flowed into the talisman.

The talisman absorbed the blood, shook, and transformed into countless demonic shadows, completely obscuring the three-zhang area around King Gold.

All of this happened within a single breath. The five Saint Core realm demonic cultivators were all staring at Xun You Shan, completely ignoring the talisman and Zhou Kewen, who had turned into a pool of blood.

Although Zhang Yuanjing saw this change, he didn't have time to warn them.

Because, at the moment the talisman appeared, Xun You Shan charged towards him, his aura becoming very obscure, but definitely not at his original realm. Chai Laoqi and the two Dharma transmission envoys, Qi and Hou, who were in front of Xun You Shan, seemed to be completely unable to see him and didn't make any attempt to stop him.

The Thick Earth Art sword in Zhang Yuanjing's hand flew up, and he was about to use the Earth Defense technique when Xun You Shan, with lightning speed, threw a dark object at Fire Crow Daoist, then shouted "Heaven and Earth Reversal" and frantically stirred his hands, with countless red lines flying and entangling him.

He only felt a burst of dizziness before appearing in an unfamiliar place. Under his feet were complex array patterns, with giant rocks on three sides and a gap on one side. Xun You Shan was standing in front of the gap, sneering coldly.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanjing guessed the other party's strange methods—using a secret technique that combined a teleportation array with demonic cultivation techniques to instantly lock onto him, activate the teleportation array, and forcibly teleport him to a pre-arranged location.

"What do you want to do!" Zhang Yuanjing took two steps back, cautiously on guard, and shouted.

Xun You Shan stood with his hands behind his back, his face solemn, and uttered two powerful words: "Exterminate demons, defend the Dao!"

At this moment, three people jumped onto the giant rocks on the three sides, all of whom were Saint Core realm demonic cultivators, their cultivation levels all in the mid-stage.

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked, the hairs on his back stood on end, and he felt a great crisis.

He had already noticed that the array patterns under his feet could prevent him from using the Earth Escape technique to enter the ground. The three giant rocks and three demonic cultivators meant that he could only break through from Xun You Shan in front of him.

This person, who was originally only at the mid-stage of the Saint Core realm, now had an aura that was clearly at the late stage. Moreover, the strength he had just displayed was far greater than that of an ordinary late-stage cultivator.

At this time, if he released the Yang Refining Umbrella, he could defeat the four of them. However, in the turbid environment of the Barren Death Zone, it was very difficult to replenish spiritual power for the Yang Refining Umbrella, so he would avoid using it if possible.

More importantly, he was not very clear about Xun You Shan's arrangements in this place. If there were ambushes on the outside, once he used the Yang Refining Umbrella and was seen, he would lose the element of surprise.

The four demonic cultivators did not give Zhang Yuanjing more time to consider and attacked at the same time.

Xun You Shan in front did not use any demonic treasures, still waving his hands, and several long spears made of red silk threads stabbed towards his vital points without any embellishment.

The other three demonic cultivators, holding dark and shiny halberds of uniform style, attacked his head from above.

In the narrow space, there was nowhere to hide. Zhang Yuanjing pointed his hand and the Thick Earth Art sword was placed in front of him. A circle of yellow qi wall moved around his body. Immediately, the Origin Stone expanded and merged with this yellow qi wall, forming the strongest Earth Defense technique.

With several "bang bang" sounds, the red spears were ineffective and the halberds were blocked, failing to break through the defense of the earth wall.

Xun You Shan said contemptuously, "So you're proficient in earth techniques," and his offensive didn't diminish, but he took the time to cast a spell towards Zhang Yuanjing's feet. The array patterns on the ground suddenly flashed, and then similar lights moved inside the three giant rocks. A simple trapped formation was instantly formed, blocking Zhang Yuanjing's lower, left, right, and rear directions.

At this time, Zhang Yuanjing could barely resist the four people's attacks with his Earth Defense, but Xun You Shan's actions undoubtedly made him more careful.

This person was obviously a demonic cultivator who was very familiar with Taoist earth-type spells, and some methods could not be used lightly during a fight.

"His turtle shell is thick, don't hold back, we don't have much time!"

Xun You Shan roared in a low voice, and the magic seal in his hand was like a mountain. The red light in the sky turned into a volcano, pressing down on the earth wall, and pure earth spiritual power continued to dissipate, like splashing yellow dust.

Since the Origin Stone was promoted to the third rank, the power of the small spells Zhang Yuanjing cast had greatly increased. At this time, using the Origin Stone's body as the basis for the Earth Defense technique, the defense had actually reached a very high level, not inferior to a high-grade magic weapon.

Although the other three Dharma transmission envoys were attacking with all their strength, they could not threaten this yellow earth wall in a short time.

However, Xun You Shan's strength was obviously superior, and the earth shield was slightly loosened after being hit by a volcano.

Naturally, it was not a solution to be beaten passively like this. Zhang Yuanjing's mind spun rapidly, and he remembered something, so he took it out.

This was a silver plate about a foot in size, with intricate patterns on it, like thousands of flowers and brocades, but also extremely subtle. When held flat, the silver plate was like water and could reflect people's shadows.

It was the Truth-Determining Plate. This object was a high-grade defensive magic weapon, but its specialty was being able to emit magnetic force to interfere with flying swords and magic treasures. If used at full power, it could immobilize the enemy's magic treasures and detain them in the plate.

He threw the silver plate, and magic power poured into it. The object floated above his head, and silvery light like water waves hung down, protecting him within it.

The three demonic cultivators above immediately waved their halberds to poke the silver plate. The silver plate was very light and agile, moving back and forth within three feet, avoiding the attacks of the three halberds.

The volcano transformed from red lines by Xun You Shan was disrupted the moment the silver plate appeared, and finally scattered into a pile of messy threads and disappeared.

Breaking the biggest threat, Zhang Yuanjing took advantage of the moment Xun You Shan was adjusting his methods, waved the Thick Earth Art sword, and used a Wild Sand technique.

He was forcibly teleported to this place, and although he was busy defending against the siege, he also saw the surrounding environment through the scanning of his divine sense.

This was a desert, with sand and gravel rolling on the ground, which was an excellent environment for using Wild Sand.

With the mobilization of magic power, a strong wind suddenly rose, sand and rocks flew, earth and dust were thrown up, ten thousand holes roared, the sky was dark, and sand and dust filled the space around the four of them for dozens of zhang, swaying and sinking, with no trace of human figures.

The Wild Sand technique, which had been strengthened by both the Sand Rolling technique and the Origin Stone, was several times more powerful than before and was already a strange move that cultivators at the Core Formation level could not easily break through.

The four demonic cultivators were very close to Zhang Yuanjing and had giant rocks as a support. Even if their divine senses were blocked, they could roughly determine Zhang Yuanjing's location, but the hurricane carried sand and rocks and constantly washed against the three giant rocks, greatly interfering with their attacks.

Xun You Shan stood between the two rocks and still had a natural barrier. He only needed to release his magic power to resist the wind and sand behind him, but the other three demonic cultivators were high up, completely exposed to the hurricane and flying sand, and the speed of their attacks was greatly reduced.

The formation Xun You Shan set up was only on the bottom and three sides, and the top was open to facilitate the attack of the people above.

At this time, the three people's attacks were chaotic. Zhang Yuanjing seized the opportunity, using the dual protection of the Truth-Determining Plate and Earth Defense, and resisting the three people's halberds, he jumped up, took advantage of the cover of the wind and sand, and jumped out of the encirclement.

"Chase!" Xun You Shan roared, raised his right hand, and did not know what kind of demonic treasure he used, and issued a series of explosions, which actually broke a corner of the Wild Sand formation.

He took the lead and rushed out, and quickly chased after Zhang Yuanjing, who was more than twenty zhang away. The other three followed closely behind and also chased out quickly.

Rushing out of a small sandy area, what appeared in front of them was an endless Gobi Desert, barren and silent, without even the sound of wind.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't have the opportunity to check the environment, so he could only choose a direction and fly away silently.

Judging from the previous teleportation, the duration was extremely short, which meant that this place was not too far from the Nether Altar. After all, it relied on the caster's cultivation technique, and with the strength of a Saint Core realm demonic cultivator, it would definitely not exceed tens of thousands of miles.

However, he had been staying in King Gold's residence for more than a year, and occasionally went out, but only moved around in Nether Valley.

This was King Gold's intention, not to let them familiarize themselves with the terrain, contact the believers, in order to prevent them from escaping his control.

Therefore, he did not know where this place was, and he did not know in which direction Nether Valley was. Looking from the high altitude, because there was often yellow sand in the desert, he could only see the scene a hundred miles ahead, and he did not see any towering mountains and deep valleys, so there were no demonic cultivators active.

He had heard Zhao Shijie say that there were three major harms in the Barren Death Zone: the Earth Demon Beast, the Wild Sand, and the Earth Fire. Demonic cultivators would only gather in valleys without Earth Fire. There, they cultivated demonic plants, raised demonic beasts, practiced demonic techniques, and sacrificed to the Candle God.

This boundless Gobi Desert was most prone to Wild Sand weather, which often lasted for ten days and a half months, and could even last for half a year, scraping the ground for several zhang, taking the boulders to the sky, and blowing them tens of thousands of miles, or even hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Therefore, when flying in the Barren Death Zone, they would choose to fly at an altitude of two to three hundred zhang or more, to avoid being swept into a sudden Wild Sand.

Of course, it could not be too high. In the higher sky, the turbid air was extremely thin, and there were often gatherings and extinctions of turbid air and spiritual energy, causing natural disasters such as sky thunder, flowing fire, and poisonous fog. Once trapped in it, life would be difficult to protect.

In order to seek an opportunity to escape, Zhang Yuanjing only flew in the air at a height of twenty zhang.

He relied on his Earth Escape technique and was not afraid of Wild Sand. On the contrary, if there was a sandstorm sweeping dozens or even hundreds of miles, he could take the opportunity to drill into the ground, avoid the eyes of the four people behind him, and escape the pursuit.
