Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"So, the Three-Life Water is here? I can't tell. It's almost identical to the blessed landscapes of the Daoist mountains! If I didn't trust you as the Envoy of Divine Grace, I, Old Jin, would think this is a demon-subduing trap!" Golden Dharma King looked at the lush, spiritual mountains before him, joking heartily.

After crossing the Thunderous Hell Mountains, awed by the might of the heavenly thunder, he and Chang Guangming instinctively felt fear, remaining cautious and not daring to speak loudly. Now that they had finally reached their destination, they relaxed at once.

"If it weren't so, this place would have been found by the Divine Sect long ago, how could it have remained hidden until now!" Fire Crow Daoist stroked his short beard and laughed.

Chang Guangming also nodded in agreement: "Looking at the aura of this place, I estimate that any scouts sent by the Divine Sect wouldn't give it a second glance. If the two Envoys hadn't confirmed it, I, Chang, would never have believed that the Three-Life Water was here."

Fire Crow Daoist suddenly sighed: "The world is vast, and full of wonders. If I hadn't experienced it myself, this old Daoist wouldn't have known that there was a path through the Thunderous Hell Mountains, let alone that such a magical and magnificent place existed within the mountains! To be honest, this time, I especially want to thank Daoist Xing for generously gifting us this opportunity, which is akin to opening up a new world for us!"

Xing Guanghan hurriedly said modestly: "No, no, I wouldn't dare, Fire Envoy is too kind. At most, it's just seeing a different scenery, I wouldn't dare call it an opportunity, let alone opening up a new world! If Fire Envoy, Vice Envoy Zhang, Right Divine Envoy, and Green Dharma King can gain something, then I, Xing, will have no regrets!"

"Alright, Old Xing, you old fellow, you're already quite old, why be so coy! Once we retrieve the Three-Life Water, and the Sect Leader elevates me and Old Chang to the Avatar Realm, your secret realm for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage can be opened. If fate is on your side, and you truly become a Nascent Soul True Person, then you'll be impressive, wherever you go, you'll be surrounded by followers and flattery, just don't forget the Divine Sect's kindness then!" Golden Dharma King said with a laugh, his voice rough.

Fire Crow Daoist's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he restrained himself and said nothing.

Xing Guanghan said with a wry smile: "Achieving Nascent Soul is not that easy! Left Divine Envoy told me that in the past ten thousand years, dozens of people have entered that secret realm, but only one obtained the opportunity, the rest all perished within. I, Xing, also have little lifespan left, so I want to give it a try, and make one last gamble. If I am truly fortunate enough to achieve Nascent Soul, I will naturally still follow the Divine Sect's lead, and the Holy Sect Leader's lead!"

Golden Dharma King rolled his eyes and waved his hand: "As long as you don't become ungrateful and repay kindness with enmity like that Kui Yin True Person, it's fine. A Nascent Soul True Person should naturally have the status and freedom of a True Person, the Divine Sect will not restrain you. Alright, let's not talk about your affairs, please lead the way, Envoys, it's important to quickly retrieve the Three-Life Water."

You're the one who brought up the topic! Zhang Yuanjing muttered inwardly, stepping forward on his flying sword. The other four also activated their flying artifacts, following behind him.

Along the way, except for the occasional flock of birds that foolishly attacked, and were easily collected by Fire Crow Daoist with his Profound Heaven Gourd, everything went smoothly, and they soon arrived above the deep ravine.

Pointing to the large hole at the bottom of the ravine, which was several dozen feet in circumference, emitting green smoke, and resembling the gaping mouth of a beast, Zhang Yuanjing said: "It's right here, going down from here, you can enter the underground Nether Soil, without going deep, you can see the Three-Life Water."

Golden Dharma King casually glanced around, shook his head and said: "There's just some yin and cold aura, I really can't feel the presence of any turbid energy. It's indeed very hidden, no wonder the Divine Sect's scouts couldn't discover it."

Just as he was about to call for everyone to go down together, suddenly, a cloud of fire rushed out of the hole, rising rapidly, followed by two monsters more than two zhang tall, their bodies as black as ink, their shapes like humans, their heads like beasts, with foot-long fangs hanging from their mouths, chasing after it, roaring "Aooo" towards the sky.

"Little Fire Cloud! It's actually you!" Seeing this cloud of fire, Fire Crow Daoist was first surprised, then laughed loudly, "It really isn't a case of enemies not meeting, to actually run into you here! Don't run!"

In a flash of lightning, the cloud of fire also recognized Fire Crow Daoist, and immediately fled along the cliff face.

Fire Crow Daoist summoned the Profound Iron Gourd, blocking the fire cloud's path.

At this time, Zhang Yuanjing and the other four had already chosen their positions, surrounding the fire cloud.

With no way to escape, the fire cloud had no choice but to stop, then quickly shrank, revealing an old man in a red robe with red hair and a red face. This man had a straight nose, thick lips, and sharp eyes, he was the Fire Cloud Elder who had fought Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing on the south side of Nether Soil Mountain more than sixty years ago.

His cloud of fire had now condensed into a ball about a foot in size, like a super-large red crystal, suspended above his head.

"Not bad, old pal! Looks like you've had some fortuitous encounters too! Such heavy injuries have actually healed, but unfortunately, you'll never have the chance to advance to the late stage of the Core Formation Realm in this lifetime!" Fire Crow Daoist said with a smile that was not a smile, his eyes revealing a bit of mockery.

No expression could be seen on Fire Cloud Elder's red face, his eyes were full of solemnity, glancing at Golden Dharma King, Chang Guangming, Xing Guanghan, and Zhang Yuanjing, he said with a tone of jealousy and resentment: "You old crow, you've actually reached the Great Perfection of the Core Formation Realm! You're truly skilled at calculation, and good at seizing opportunities! Heh heh, heh heh!"

His final laughter was purely a snort from his nose, full of sarcasm and contempt!

Fire Crow Daoist smiled triumphantly: "This shows that I have sharp eyes and know how to recognize talent! It's you, old fellow, you finally managed to get your life back, shouldn't you be hiding in the mountains and enjoying your old age, why did you run into the Nether Soil? Look, you almost got your butt bitten by two flying zombies!"

Fire Cloud Elder ignored his mockery, but pointed to Golden Dharma King and Chang Guangming and asked: "These two have obscure auras, and their realms are difficult to discern, I wonder where these experts came from?"

Golden Dharma King and Chang Guangming were expressionless, and did not answer.

Fire Crow Daoist chuckled and said: "Little Fire Cloud, you're still like this, clearly very afraid in your heart, but always pretending to be confident, unfortunately, you can't hold back your breath, and reveal your timidity after only a few words!

"Let me tell you, with the strength of these two, dealing with you is an easy task for either of them. However, they have other important matters here, and are probably not interested in fighting you. As long as you don't run away, and have a proper fight with me, they won't interfere. How about it?"

Fire Crow Daoist's words also implied to the two demonic cultivators, Golden Dharma King and Chang Guangming, to try not to intervene.

Fire Cloud Elder sneered and said: "More than twenty years ago, I obtained an opportunity, and my injuries basically healed, so I searched for you everywhere. Who knew that when I looked at Upper Qiong Mountain, the place was empty, and no one knew your whereabouts.

"Later, I accidentally caught a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Long Yuantu, and learned from him that this Daoist Zhang went to Nether Soil Mountain to get a kind of strange soil, thinking that you might come again, so I specifically guarded this place for a few years, but didn't wait for you!

"Heh heh, a few days ago, I happened to pass by this place, and on a whim, went to the underground Nether Soil to take a look, but instead ran into you. That's good, old crow, it seems that our grievances must finally be settled. Better to choose the day than to meet it, then let's decide life and death today!"
