Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

“The matter is already like this, let's not dwell on the past. Let's talk about what to do now.” Qi Tianxiang stopped Wu Yuankui, who still wanted to inquire, and said to Hu Tiancong, “Tiancong, you speak first.”

“If the strength of the otherworld demons continues to increase, then we can only choose to cooperate and first kill that Nascent Soul Stage late-stage otherworld demon. Of course, we must negotiate the conditions, a win-win situation is the best. However, demonic cultivators are unpredictable, and we need a way to restrain them.” Hu Tiancong's expression was slightly solemn, and his tone was somewhat erratic when he spoke, showing a lack of confidence.

“What method of restraint?” Qi Tianxiang asked again.

“Can the True Person's Five Thunder Sky-Opening Talisman threaten Ling Xiao?” Hu Tiancong asked.

“Late-stage Great Cultivator, and he won't just stand there and let you hit him. It's difficult!” Qi Tianxiang shook his head.

“Then it's more difficult to handle. We can ask Ling Xiao to swear that he won't attack us in the 'Mustard Seed Space', but if he doesn't agree, there's nothing we can do.” Hu Tiancong spread his hands.

“It depends on whether the Sky Demon Abyss is determined to get what they said.” At this time, Yu Tianwan interjected.

“We don't know if they are determined to get it, but we are determined to clear the 'Mustard Seed Space', and they know that. This is very disadvantageous to us!” Hu Tiancong said.

“There is also a way to peek into Ling Xiao's true thoughts.” Yu Tianwan took two steps forward, but his eyes looked at Zhang Yuanjing.

Wu Yuankui understood what he meant. With a wave of his hand, he sealed Zhang Yuanjing's five senses.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't expect that his respected True Person and uncles, and his always close Sect Leader Senior Brother, would all think that he had betrayed the sect and were guarding against him as an internal traitor. A deep pain welled up in his heart, but he was speechless and could only close his eyes and endure.

“Thinking about the Sky Demon Abyss forces infiltrating around my Tianque Mountain, it has been going on for thousands of years. Based on this, if they have been working for this 'Mustard Seed Space', it means they attach great importance to it. In this way, when negotiating with them, we can use the strategy of playing hard to get.

“Our cooperation with them is limited to killing this late-stage Nascent Soul otherworld demon. After killing the demon, we will part ways and not interfere with each other. Whoever finds the 'Mustard Seed Space' first depends on each party's luck. If we encounter the Hou Tu Sect people, we can deal with them separately.”

Yu Tianwan stood in front of Qi Tianxiang, speaking eloquently, appearing confident, “If the other party agrees, it means they have no determination to obtain it, because with the growth rate of the otherworld demons here, once we all enter the 'Mustard Seed Space', the time when the otherworld demons grow to the point of triggering heavenly tribulation will be out of control, and the 'Mustard Seed Space' may collapse at any time due to the destruction of the Void Demon Space.

“Therefore, if Ling Xiao is determined to obtain it, he will definitely propose conditions to keep True Person and him in the Void Demon World to constantly kill the growing otherworld demons. At this time, we can ask for a sky-high price and bargain on the spot to obtain a condition that is beneficial to us.”

“This method is very good!” Hu Tiancong took the lead in praising, “However, if the other party has no determination to obtain it, then we must try to persuade Ling Xiao to stay in the Void Demon Space to kill demons. Otherwise, our goal may not be achieved!”

Qi Tianxiang signaled Zeng Tianshou and others to speak quickly if they had anything to say. They all expressed their agreement with Yu Tianwan's opinion. Only the youngest Jin Tianwu asked, “If Ling Xiao is unwilling to stay in the Void Demon Space to kill demons, but insists on entering the 'Mustard Seed Space', what do we do?”

This question seemed ordinary, but it pointed to the weakness of the Xu Tian Sect cultivators. If the Sky Demon Abyss people fail, they will at most not get something. But if the Xu Tian Sect people fail, the foundation of the sect will be damaged, and it will inevitably decline in the future. Compared with the two, it is obvious that the Xu Tian Sect cannot afford to lose more.

Wu Yuankui's eyes widened, and he said decisively, “Of course, we have to take a gamble. There is no foolproof plan in the world. Rather than letting people seize our weakness, it is better to fight with our backs to the water and let fate decide!”

Qi Tianxiang pondered for a moment, and finally said, “Everyone's concerns and thoughts are reasonable. I will talk to Ling Xiao first. No matter what the result, everything will ultimately depend on strength. Therefore, we must always be prepared for the worst.”

He then used his magic power to speak to Hu Chou's location: “True Person Hu, please ask Mountain Lord Ling to come here for a while!”

After a dozen or so breaths, a gentle but majestic voice came: “True Person Qi, nice to meet you. I am Ling Xiao from Sky Demon Abyss.”

Ling Xiao's location was less than a mile away from Qi Tianxiang. As early as when Ling Xiao entered Qi Tianxiang's five-mile range, the two had already locked onto each other with their divine senses. The two sides' auras were connected, and if they got too close, conflict would be inevitable.

Ling Xiao chose a very aggressive distance, giving Qi Tianxiang great pressure. However, Qi Tianxiang did not show weakness. He stood upright, his aura bursting forth, like a tiger crouching on a giant rock, ready to pounce.

“Mountain Lord Ling, nice to meet you. Qi is being polite!” Qi Tianxiang cupped his hands and casually arched them, speaking in a flat tone.

“True Person Qi, Ling saw you using thunder magic to destroy demons from afar just now. Although it was tens of miles away, I still felt the amazing power. The Xu Tian Sect is indeed worthy of being a great sect with ten thousand years of inheritance, which makes people admire it.”

“Mountain Lord Ling is too kind. It is also the love of the ancestors who passed down such a technique, so that future generations can rely on it.”

“True Person Qi, there is no need to be modest. I see that this technique has the power to shock the heavens and earth and make ghosts and gods cry. This time, to kill the otherworld demons, we will have to rely on the True Person to exert more effort!”

“Mountain Lord Ling is too humble. Qi is just a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Dealing with one or two middle-stage Nascent Soul otherworld demons is beyond my ability. Before and after, I had to set up formations, use spirit talismans, and lure the enemy before I had that one-hit kill. If I were to do it again, Qi would not have much confidence. As for dealing with late-stage Nascent Soul otherworld demons, I still have to rely on Mountain Lord Ling's thunderous methods. Qi can only cheer and assist from the side.”

Seeing that Qi Tianxiang's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood, and he did not reveal whether his demon-slaying method was thunder magic or thunder talisman, Ling Xiao stopped probing and said straight to the point:

“True Person Qi is joking. If Ling really had thunderous methods, I wouldn't be entangled with that late-stage otherworld demon. Of course, I will do my best to deal with that demon, but True Person Qi also knows the strangeness of the otherworld demons, especially the late-stage Nascent Soul otherworld demons. The ability to sneak, infiltrate, and escape is fundamentally improved compared to the otherworld demons below the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Ling may be able to wound it, defeat it, and drive it away, but I cannot kill it.

“No matter how badly this otherworld demon is injured, it can make a comeback after three or five hours, and its strength is even greater. Therefore, Ling will wound and trap the enemy, and True Person Qi will accumulate strength and use a sure-kill blow to completely kill this otherworld demon. True Person Qi, what do you think?”

Qi Tianxiang was still calm and composed: “Mountain Lord Ling's arrangement is very appropriate, Qi will definitely cooperate fully!”

Ling Xiao smiled: “True Person Qi is straightforward, then let's rest here for a while and wait for that otherworld demon to come to our door!”

Qi Tianxiang cupped his hands and said: “Mountain Lord Ling, Qi and his party are weak and outnumbered. If that late-stage Nascent Soul otherworld demon suddenly attacks us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend against. Therefore, I would like to ask you to retreat a few miles, and Qi will set up a formation for his disciples to prepare for the unexpected!”

Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he secretly thought that this person, who leads a sect, is indeed meticulous in his thinking. He deliberately did not talk about the specific cooperation between the two sides, just to leave loopholes, and take the opportunity to weaken the other party's strength when the otherworld demon came. It would be best to kill the otherworld demon and the Xu Tian Sect cultivators at the same time to eliminate future troubles. And Qi Tianxiang's move was undoubtedly to guard against his hand. He smiled and said: “That's natural. True Person Qi, please proceed!”

This time entering the Void Demon World, Qi Tianxiang almost swept away all the thunder talismans accumulated in the sect, leaving only a few powerful attack talismans for the defense of the mountain gate.

He brought a total of six low-grade earth thunder defense talismans. He had already used three to deal with the middle-stage Nascent Soul otherworld demon before. Now, to deal with the late-stage Nascent Soul otherworld demon, the remaining three may not be enough. Therefore, to ensure safety, he ordered everyone to set up the previous Three Talents Formation again, and distributed the middle-grade gold thunder, fire thunder, and earth thunder talismans to everyone, explaining the methods of cooperation and use.

These middle-grade thunder talismans are naturally great weapons for dealing with otherworld demons below the Core Formation stage, but for Nascent Soul stage otherworld demons, multiple talismans must be used together to have the effect of injuring the enemy.

The arrangement took more than half an hour. After Ling Xiao retreated, he did not know where he was, and had not spoken.

Yu Tianwan said in a low voice: “True Person, now I don't know where the rest of the Sky Demon Abyss people are. If Ling Xiao holds us back and the others go ahead to find the 'Mustard Seed Space', I'm afraid they will take the lead.”

Qi Tianxiang shook his head: “If that's the case, we will have to risk being attacked and killed by that late-stage otherworld demon. I don't think he is such a reckless person.”

Hu Tiancong interjected: “Should we discuss with Ling Xiao how to cooperate in the 'Mustard Seed Space'?”

Qi Tianxiang said: “We can discuss, but he must propose it first.”

Yu Tianwan interjected: “True Person, Ling Xiao didn't mention this at all just now, which shows that his sincerity in cooperating with us is not enough for the time being.”

“Not enough for the time being?”

“Yes, that is to say, he will weigh whether to cooperate and how to cooperate based on the results of this battle.”

“Tianwan is indeed our resourceful star, he grasped the essence of the problem at once. When I talked with Ling Xiao just now, I was only guarding against him setting traps, but I didn't think of this level.”

“True Person, you are too kind. It was also Senior Brother Tiancong who mentioned the 'Mustard Seed Space' that made me think of this problem.”

Wu Yuankui, who had been listening, couldn't help but said: “Master, uncles, waiting like this is too passive. When the otherworld demon suddenly attacks, how the situation will evolve is not under our control. If there is an unfavorable situation, it is difficult to guarantee that Ling Xiao will not have any crooked thoughts. I suggest that Master, you stay here, and the rest of us set off first to find the 'Mustard Seed Space'.”

Qi Tianxiang's face turned cold and he snorted: “I said just now that Ling Xiao wouldn't risk letting the others set off first, they still have Nascent Soul cultivators. How can you few Core Formation cultivators deal with powerful otherworld demons! It's simply nonsense!”

Yu Tianwan laughed and said: “True Person, Yuankui's idea is not bad. We might as well tell Ling Xiao this and test his reaction.”

Qi Tianxiang said: “If he doesn't object, then what?”

Yu Tianwan chuckled and said: “That's easy, we few can walk for a while, and then say that we encountered a powerful otherworld demon blocking the way, and then retreat back. What can Ling Xiao say!”
