Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

When they were about two miles from the central area, Chang Guangming took the lead in descending towards a wide road paved with white stone slabs below. The representatives of the other five parties followed suit.

Zhao Shijie turned his head and said softly to Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, "Two envoys, please walk on foot to show your piety!"

The two had no objection and followed behind the six, landing on the white stone road.

The guards and followers in the rear had already descended and stopped more than twenty zhang behind the eight.

At this time, as many as a thousand followers had come upon hearing the news. They followed silently, making no sound except for the slight rustling of their clothes in the wind as they flew. The gazes they cast at Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing clearly revealed some reverence or curiosity.

Chang Guangming abandoned his previous relaxed posture and became unusually serious. He stepped aside, made a respectful gesture to Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, and the other five also retreated to the sides.

"Please, honored guests, go first!"

He only addressed them as "honored guests" and not "divine envoys," which was clearly intentional.

The white stone road led directly to the tall stone house engraved with the black dragon totem, but there were three guard posts along the way, each guarded by a Sacred Core Realm demon cultivator leading ten Foundation Establishment Late Stage demon cultivators.

Fire Crow Taoist nodded casually to the six, stepped forward, unhurried, calm, and composed. Zhang Yuanjing lagged behind by half a step, looking relaxed, but his spiritual mind in the niwan palace was highly tense, ready to respond at any moment.

After the two had walked ten zhang, the six behind them stepped forward to follow. As they moved, the followers behind them also followed. The previous guards, however, remained in formation, standing solemnly and no longer moving.

Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing quickly reached the first guard post. The leading Sacred Core Realm demon cultivator cupped his fist in salute and then signaled the ten guards behind him to open the road. The two nodded slightly in response and quickly passed through the guard post.

After a few breaths, the six behind them and the thousand or so followers also passed through the guard post smoothly. Obviously, these guards had received orders and did not obstruct them.

Sure enough, the latter two guard posts were the same. Once Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing approached, they would automatically open the road and let them pass.

On the south side of the tall stone house was a yellow wooden door fifteen chi high and one zhang wide.

At this moment, the wooden door creaked and then slowly opened, and a person walked out from within. He was tall, with white hair, a thin face, a kind smile, and eyes like a deep pool, with a brilliant light flickering within, like the stars in the night sky or the candlelight in the darkness, making people become immersed.

"Greetings, Left Divine Envoy!"

While Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing were stunned, the six behind them and the thousand or so followers shouted in unison. The tone of the followers was clearly full of respect and love.

"No need for formalities!" The Left Divine Envoy's smile grew even more intense, and he waved his hand to the crowd like an elder in the family. Then, he looked at Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing. "You two must be the honored guests from the Youming Cave. Please come with me. This is the Candle Dragon Hall, a place dedicated to the worship of Lord Candle Dragon. Hmm, the six of you come along too!"

He spoke very casually, but his words had a power that made people obey.

Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing did not dare to haggle over the form of address, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, then quickly stepped forward and followed behind him.

The space inside the Candle Dragon Hall was extremely large. What came into view was a huge stone statue more than ten zhang high. The three zhang below was a wide base, and above was a black dragon rising into the air. Its body was slanted, with its tail on the side below the stone base, and its head raised high above.

Its four feet were in the air, its expression was passionate, slightly painful, its beard and hair were all stretched out, and it seemed to be fighting hard. Looking up from below, a sense of oppression arose spontaneously, making people feel a little awe.

There were no windows in the hall. Dozens of long candles as thick as a baby's arm were hung on the four walls, and the flames illuminated the stone house brightly. This hall was about fourteen or fifteen zhang high, and its length was only twenty zhang or so, so it should only be the front hall.

"Guangming, Hongyi, and the rest of you, wait here. If there are any results, Lord Candle Dragon's statue will give some revelation."

The Left Divine Envoy's expression became serious, no longer the smiling appearance he had before. He knelt down and bowed to the black dragon statue.

Then he said to Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, "Two honored guests, Lord Candle Dragon has been sleeping in the Nine Yin Abyss. The entrance to the abyss is in the back hall. Of course, we don't have to go deep into the abyss, as it's difficult for ordinary cultivators to survive there. Now, Lu will take you two to the back hall. If Lord Candle Dragon approves of your identities, he will transmit a message to me, or directly make a revelation on the stone statue outside. If not, he will remain asleep."

Fire Crow Taoist was experienced and worldly-wise. As soon as he heard this, he felt that there was some deep meaning in it, but he didn't want to ask, so he nodded.

The Left Divine Envoy smiled easily again and walked slowly towards a doorway on the left side of the black dragon statue.

Passing through the doorway was a dim bedroom with a simple wooden bed covered with a thin mattress. At the foot of the bed was a two-chi square low table with a thick book with a red cover and yellow characters on it.

Behind the low table was a dark tunnel, and at the end of the tunnel seemed to be a stone door.

"This is where Lu lives. It's a bit simple, and there are no chairs, so I can only ask the two of you to stand and talk." The Left Divine Envoy turned around, facing Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, with a smile on his face as before. "The six outside can't hear our conversation. Before going to the back hall, Lu wants to ask you two a few questions, please forgive me."

Fire Crow Taoist first glanced at Zhang Yuanjing, then said to the Left Divine Envoy, "I wonder what the Left Divine Envoy wants to ask?"

The Left Divine Envoy said, "The two of you are determined to come to the main altar, I wonder what you are here for?"

Fire Crow Taoist said without hesitation, "Of course, it is to heal Lord Candle Dragon and help my divine sect to revive!"

The Left Divine Envoy's expression remained unchanged, but the tone of his voice became a little playful: "Could it be that the two of you really think you are divine grace envoys? Lu knows much more about what happened to those divine grace envoys in the history of the divine sect than you do!"

Fire Crow Taoist smiled cheekily: "As long as the divine sect recognizes them, aren't they all your sect's divine grace envoys! Why should the Left Divine Envoy care about these!"

The Left Divine Envoy said calmly: "If the two of you don't tell me the truth about the purpose of this trip, I can guarantee that you will definitely not get Lord Candle Dragon's approval. At that time, what awaits the two of you will be the most tragic torture of the divine sect!"

"Oh, the Left Divine Envoy is so confident?" Fire Crow Taoist asked back.

The Left Divine Envoy ignored him and said lightly: "You don't have much time, if you are willing to waste it like this, Lu doesn't mind."

Fire Crow Taoist pondered in silence, hesitating for a moment.

Zhang Yuanjing suddenly asked: "May I ask the Left Divine Envoy, was the assassination of the two of us by Dong Changfeng and Xun Youshan instructed by you?"

The Left Divine Envoy looked at Zhang Yuanjing in surprise, and then smiled: "Well asked. Whether you believe it or not, I must say that the assassination of Dong Changfeng and Xun Youshan has nothing to do with me. Of course, I am not sure who is behind the scenes."

Zhang Yuanjing asked again: "Then, does the Left Divine Envoy hope that we will heal Lord Candle Dragon, or not?"

The Left Divine Envoy laughed loudly: "I didn't expect you young man to be so interesting! Not bad, not bad! To tell you the truth, whether Lord Candle Dragon is healed or not makes little difference to me, anyway, there are advantages and disadvantages!"

Zhang Yuanjing said: "Not even a slight inclination?"

The Left Divine Envoy said: "If I have to choose, I would rather choose not to heal!"

Zhang Yuanjing sighed regretfully: "We came here to discuss a matter with the Left Divine Envoy on the condition of healing Lord Candle Dragon."

"What's the matter?"

"We will heal Lord Candle Dragon. After the sect leader ascends the throne, he will give priority to promoting the Golden Dharma King to the Avatar Realm if his strength is sufficient."

"Impossible!" The Left Divine Envoy denied it outright, "Even if Lord Candle Dragon must be healed, I will not agree to this condition."

At this time, Fire Crow Taoist interjected and asked: "Since the Left Divine Envoy doesn't want to heal Lord Candle Dragon, why propose holding a Nirvana Sacrifice?"

The Left Divine Envoy glared at him sharply: "You don't need to know this!"

Then he said to Zhang Yuanjing: "Okay, I understand your purpose, this is impossible. You go back and tell that Lan roughneck that he doesn't have the fate to become an Avatar in this life, let him give up this idea, don't daydream! Lu is not interested in digging up those old rotten grains, and will not deal with him, let him put his heart in his stomach, and be his Golden Dharma King, guarding the north for the divine sect."

"You haven't seen Lord Candle Dragon, and the statue outside will not show any revelation. I will tell them that Lord Candle Dragon is too weak and cannot wake up now, and cannot identify the identities of the two honored guests, which must be left to after the Nirvana Sacrifice. In this way, you can safely withdraw from Candle Yin Valley."

"Lu is also thinking of you, that you have cleared more than 100,000 Earth Demon Beasts for the divine sect in the North Three Altars, which can be regarded as benefactors of this sect, so I will not care about today's matter and spare your lives. After you go out, leave the desolate and dead zone quickly, this place belongs to our demon cultivators, belongs to the Candle God Sect, not a place for you Daoist Qi refiners to come."

Although the Left Divine Envoy only showed a slight anger, the dim room immediately became extremely oppressive, and Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing immediately had the feeling of facing a prehistoric beast.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads slightly, knowing that it was unwise to conflict with the deep-minded Left Divine Envoy, at least in this place. Therefore, the two lowered their heads in agreement, while calculating in their hearts how to persuade the Golden Dharma King to face this situation after leaving the valley.

The Left Divine Envoy was still in front, and the two were behind, quickly leaving the simple hut and returning to the spacious and bright front hall.

When Chang Guangming and the other six saw the three of them coming out, they first saluted the Left Divine Envoy, and then bowed to Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing with different expressions and sang in unison: "Believer Chang Guangming (Gao Hongyi, Qi Feng, Zhao Shijie, Hui Yunhai, Shi Jianting), greetings to the two divine grace envoys! Congratulations to the Supreme God for eternal life, thank you envoys for the blessing!"

Among the six, Zhao Shijie was the only one with a happy face. Chang Guangming, Gao Hongyi, and Qi Feng were all a little confused, while Hui Yunhai and Shi Jianting, the two Foundation Establishment Realm demon cultivators, seemed quite surprised.

Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing were at a loss and looked at the Left Divine Envoy in front. However, the Left Divine Envoy was facing away from them. The two only saw his broad shoulders trembling slightly, but they could not see his expression.

"Hmm, has Lord Candle Dragon's statue given a revelation of approval?" The Left Divine Envoy's voice was steady and gentle, without any emotional fluctuations.

Chang Guangming nodded and said: "Yes. Just before you and the two divine grace envoys came out, the statue emitted a yellow light, turning into four large characters 'The Envoys are Genuine'. All six of us saw it clearly."

The Left Divine Envoy chuckled, turned around, and said respectfully to Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing: "Believer Lu, greetings to the two divine grace envoys! Congratulations to the Supreme God for eternal life, thank you envoys for the blessing!"

Looking at the Left Divine Envoy's pious face, Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing only felt the hairs on their backs stand on end, and a chill rose in their hearts that was difficult to suppress.
