Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Inside the cave, a cacophony of shouts, screams, and roars merged into a deafening wave of sound, piercing the ears of Zhang Yuanjing and Daoist Fire Crow.

A scene of tens of thousands of people engaged in a frenzied battle, strewn with severed limbs, flowing with fresh blood, and filled with flying arrows, unfolded before their eyes.

Total chaos! The six factions were mixed together, slaughtering each other. The Candle God Sect members, in groups of three to five, or as many as dozens or hundreds, huddled together, led by some low-level commanders, fighting against all opposing forces.

Both of them paled slightly, realizing that the reason Candle Dragon could create such a powerful illusion was not only because Zhang Yuanjing had provided a large number of anti-Qi stones, but also because this melee provided a large amount of blood and souls!

This ancient strange insect completely disregarded the lives of tens of thousands of people, even though these people were its fanatical believers! Or perhaps, it was venting its resentment towards the handsome monk on these innocent believers.

"Find Zhang Xuan first! Quickly!" Daoist Fire Crow reacted quickly and said to Zhang Yuanjing.

"There!" Zhang Yuanjing pointed to a corner near the Black Water Pool.

Zhang Xuan was standing close to the edge of the Black Water Pool, with the unconscious Left Divine Envoy at her feet.

Around her were Chang Guangming, Quan Youxuan, and two Saint Core Realm demonic cultivators, battling against White Dharma King, Qi Feng, and two Saint Core Realm demonic cultivators under the Right Divine Envoy.

Surrounding these people was a crowd of up to two thousand sect members, arranged in simple formations, charging and killing each other.

"Telepathically tell her to activate the Candle Shadow Art and connect with the remaining consciousness of the Candle Dragon!" Daoist Fire Crow looked down at the Black Water Pool, where streams of black and yellow torrents gurgled from the bottom of the pool. "The Three Lives Water is already rising. If we delay, I'm afraid she won't be able to absorb much!"

At this moment, everyone in the arena seemed to be in a frenzy. Except for some sect members near the edge of the Black Water Pool, no one noticed the sudden appearance of the two Divine Grace Envoys.

Even those who noticed the two envoys did not know who to report to, nor did they have the spare time, as they were constantly engaged in intense fighting. Of course, without orders, no one dared to attack them.

"Zhang Xuan, it's me! Don't stand there in a daze, quickly use the Candle Shadow Art to merge with the divine beast!"

Zhang Yuanjing transmitted his voice. Zhang Xuan trembled suddenly, looking around. In the chaos, she did not find the "Daoist" near the pool.

"By the Black Water Pool, look to your right!" Zhang Yuanjing anxiously pointed, and seeing her looking over, he quickly added, "Quickly, don't ask questions, do as I say. The sooner you merge, the sooner you'll have a chance to stop this chaotic battle and save more sect members!"

"Daoist!" Zhang Xuan's voice was tearful. Although she was strong and had many tricks up her sleeve, she was at a loss in the face of such chaos. Seeing Zhang Yuanjing at this moment, she couldn't help but recall the feeling of dependence from back then, and she felt a little more at ease, but also a little weaker. "Daoist, Master Lu… he suddenly fainted for some reason!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing felt a surge of displeasure in his heart, and then urged, "Don't worry about that now, quickly merge with the Candle Dragon. Only when you obtain the power of the Sect Leader can you deal with the current crisis!"

Zhang Xuan obediently nodded, stopped transmitting her voice, and sat down cross-legged on the spot, beginning to circulate the Candle Shadow Art.

As soon as she began to meditate and practice, all the Saint Core Realm demonic cultivators around her understood, and immediately shouted in unison, "Protect the Saintess!"

Subsequently, the sect members fighting nearby, whether from the Left Divine Envoy's faction or the White Dharma King and Right Divine Envoy's faction, all shouted "Protect the Saintess" and attacked their opponents even more frantically.

Zhang Xuan turned a deaf ear, forcibly calmed her mind, and quickly circulated the Candle Shadow Art.

After the Left Divine Envoy fainted, Chang Guangming immediately led people to surround her, shouting "Protect the Saintess." The White Dharma King's side was not slow either, and immediately approached with more than a thousand sect members, also saying "Protect the Saintess."

On the other hand, the Right Divine Envoy's side was in chaos due to the disappearance of their leader and two incense masters. Only after a long time did the remaining two Saint Core Realm demonic cultivators lead hundreds of people to surround them, and finally merged with the White Dharma King's forces.

Although both sides shouted to protect her, Zhang Xuan instinctively felt that these people all had ulterior motives. In the Candle God Sect, Zhang Xuan trusted no one except the Left Divine Envoy, who treated her like a father, including Chang Guangming, the number one person under the Left Divine Envoy.

Therefore, no matter how Chang Guangming urged her to quickly merge with the Candle Dragon, she ignored him. If he urged her too much, she would use the excuse that the Candle Dragon had not given any instructions.

"Zhang Xuan, listen carefully. The Candle Dragon's primordial spirit has left its physical body and left this realm. However, the Candle Dragon's consciousness still remains. You must use the Candle Shadow Art to connect with its consciousness, completely control the Candle Dragon's physical body, and then enter the Black Water Pool as soon as possible to absorb the Three Lives Water. Only in this way can you quickly gain power and truly become the Sect Leader of the Candle God Sect!"

While watching the reactions of the demonic cultivators around Zhang Xuan, Zhang Yuanjing quickly explained to her the mysteries within the Candle Dragon's physical body.

Zhang Xuan closed her eyes and remained silent, surrounded by black energy. Before long, a black dragon phantom about four feet long appeared behind her and gradually solidified.

This image undoubtedly infected the many demonic cultivators near the Black Water Pool, and they fought even more frantically and bloodily. They all firmly believed that their side was fighting to protect the Saintess and the soon-to-be-ascended Sect Leader.

When two ruby-like eyes appeared on the head of the black dragon phantom, the black dragon "came alive."

It flicked its tail, twisted its body, spiraled upwards, gradually approached the head of the Candle Dragon's physical body, and then plunged its head into it.

After two breaths, fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Xuan's bright white forehead, her face flushed red, and her breathing became rapid.

Her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a painful expression. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood and opened her tired eyes.

"Daoist, a mysterious force is controlling the divine beast's physical body. I am no match for it and was knocked out of its consciousness!" Zhang Xuan transmitted.

"Mysterious force?" Zhang Yuanjing was shocked when he heard this and quickly told Daoist Fire Crow.

"Not the Left Divine Envoy. And definitely not the Right Divine Envoy. It can only be the White Dharma King, or the Azure and Crimson Dharma Kings!" Daoist Fire Crow suddenly remembered the two strangely dressed demonic cultivators under the White Dharma King, and had some doubts, but could not be sure. "Let's not worry about that for now. Ask Zhang Xuan if the mysterious force is controlling the consciousness or somewhere else?"

Zhang Yuanjing transmitted this question, and Zhang Xuan's answer was that the mysterious force seemed to be controlling the divine beast's physical body. When she merged into its consciousness and tried to control the physical body, she was squeezed out.

Daoist Fire Crow pondered for a moment, and said with a sneer, "This so-called mysterious force should be a beast-controlling expert who is skilled in bloodline control, using the Candle Dragon's physical body. Hehe, it's a bit like the Spirit Control Sect's methods, controlling the physical body by controlling the bloodline. Regardless of whether the spiritual beast's soul agrees or not, it will eventually be tamed and driven."

"How do we deal with him?" Zhang Yuanjing asked anxiously.

"After the Candle Dragon's primordial spirit left, the remaining consciousness is too weak, so it cannot control the physical body. To solve this problem, the best way is to strengthen the consciousness!" Daoist Fire Crow said decisively.

"Can the remaining consciousness still be strengthened?" Zhang Yuanjing said in surprise.

"It can be strengthened, because of Zhang Xuan's fusion! And—" Daoist Fire Crow paused, looked at Zhang Yuanjing and said, "We still have something we can use!"

Zhang Yuanjing instantly reacted and blurted out, "Nethergrass!"
