Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

While Zhang Yuanjing and the others were briefly confronting Fire Crow Envoy in the sky, the two flying zombies below did not leave or fly up to attack. They remained standing at the bottom of the ravine, glaring with their green eyes, baring their fangs, and roaring in provocation.

Golden Law King found it somewhat amusing. He immediately drew his long-handled, thick-backed broadsword again, saying, "I'll go have some fun!" He plummeted like a boulder falling off a cliff, swinging his broadsword at one of the flying zombies.

Fire Crow Daoist and Chang Guangming were unable to stop him in time and had to call Zhang Yuanjing and Xing Guanghan to descend together. Xing Guanghan, quick in action, had already brandished his ink-black spear, thrusting it like a blue dragon probing the water, directly at the other flying zombie.

The steel-boned and iron-muscled flying zombie, intimidated by the Golden Law King's imposing aura, dared not meet the attack head-on, retreating repeatedly while screeching.

The other flying zombie had not anticipated Xing Guanghan's spear to be so swift. Its swinging fist was useless as the spear tip grazed its elbow and pierced in like a venomous snake, puncturing a half-inch deep black hole in its neck. Immediately, black liquid flowed out. The flying zombie clutched its neck, wheezing heavily, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground.

Golden Law King landed, sweeping his broadsword horizontally, knocking down the flying zombie that was charging forward, intending to launch a sneak attack. Then, he flipped the blade over and slammed the back of the blade onto the zombie's head, directly burying its skull into the mud. He followed up with three more consecutive blows to the same spot, caving in the back of its head before stopping.

Fire Crow Daoist joked, "These flying zombies ran into their nemesis with you two. Their iron bodies are nothing more than clay sculptures!"

Zhang Yuanjing also said with a smile, "When Fire Envoy and I came here years ago, we faced two flying zombies as well, and it took a lot of effort. We were nowhere near as efficient as you two. It's like chopping vegetables!"

Golden Law King laughed triumphantly, "Old Jin might not have much else, but his strength is passable. Right, Old Chang? If it were your little flying sword, it probably would only tickle these monsters!"

Chang Guangming chuckled, "Tickling can also kill monsters!"

Fire Crow Daoist pointed at the Xuan Tian gourd above his head. The gourd descended above the two flying zombies, lowered its mouth, and released a suction force, easily sucking them into its belly. Then, he laughed and said, "This envoy will take advantage and collect them to burn as firewood!"

With his current cultivation level, refining two flying zombies was naturally very easy.

Subsequently, he took the lead and entered the cave, striding quickly forward in the dark along the long tunnel. The other four followed behind him, ceasing their laughter and quietly surveying their surroundings.

The air suddenly became cold, and the temperature plummeted. After traveling about two miles, some dim yellow light appeared ahead. Passing through the light, they exited the tunnel and entered a dimly lit space.

As it was decades ago, there were mountain walls on both sides and soil overhead. Dozens of feet away, everything appeared as black shadows tinged with yellow light. The dark cyan earth underfoot extended into the darkness ahead—this was the so-called Nether Soil.

Golden Law King and Chang Guangming took a deep breath and removed the aura-isolating clothing they were wearing. Golden Law King let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Finally, there's turbid Qi. Wearing that thing was suffocating Old Jin. Hmm, this turbid Qi is a bit weak."

Here, there was no spiritual Qi in the air, replaced by mixed and impure turbid Qi.

Fire Crow Daoist fanned himself on the head and turned to ask Zhang Yuanjing, "Yuanjing, do you feel that it's colder here?"

Zhang Yuanjing nodded, "It is colder." He then pointed to the yellow mist above and said, "The color of this mist is also much deeper."

Chang Guangming asked from the side, "What's wrong? Did you two Envoys discover anything unusual?"

Fire Crow Daoist said thoughtfully, "There have been some changes compared to more than a decade ago, but I can't say what's different. Let's go further in and take a look. Fortunately, the Three-Life Water is located near the edge of the Nether Soil."

After traveling for several miles, the turbid Qi in the air gradually thickened. Golden Law King and Chang Guangming felt like fish in water, their expressions becoming relaxed.

Zhang Yuanjing circulated the Thick Earth Transformation Art, silently refining the turbid Qi without any discomfort.

Fire Crow Daoist and Xing Guanghan felt an increasingly strong suppression, and they had to mobilize ten percent of their magic power to resist it in order to walk normally. However, compared to the oppression brought by the turbid Qi in the Barren Death Zone, this was nothing.

At this moment, the sound of rushing water finally appeared to the right of the group. They moved sideways and saw a four-to-five-丈 wide river channel between the mountain wall and the Nether Soil. Black and yellow water rolled forward, and the place from which it flowed was hidden deep within the Nether Soil.

"It really is Three-Life Water!" Golden Law King exclaimed in surprise.

Chang Guangming also had a shocked expression, muttering, "It's a river! How much Three-Life Water is this!"

Golden Law King, Chang Guangming, and Xing Guanghan all swept their divine senses over, but they were all blocked by the water surface, unable to probe the situation underwater. However, without a doubt, there must be an underground river beneath the Nether Soil, and it must be wider and deeper than the one above.

"Is there enough water here?" Fire Crow Daoist stared at the riverbed, his brows furrowed, and asked in a low voice.

Chang Guangming nodded repeatedly, smiling and saying, "As long as the water source is constant, it will definitely be enough. We can come back to collect it later!"

Golden Law King laughed heartily, "My Divine Sect will no longer have to worry about running out of Three-Life Water! You two Envoys are simply my sect's lucky stars!"

Zhang Yuanjing noticed the solemn expression on Fire Crow Daoist's face and immediately asked, "Senior, is something wrong?"

Fire Crow Daoist's eyes revealed a hint of doubt, "I feel like the water level has dropped a bit, but I didn't observe it carefully back then, so I might be mistaken!"

Chang Guangming pondered for a moment and said, "Three-Life Water comes from the deepest part of the earth, and the amount of water may decrease or increase due to unexpected reasons. There's no need to worry about that."

Fire Crow Daoist revealed a look of realization, "If that's the case, then it's fine. I'm just being overly cautious! Hehe!"

At this moment, Golden Law King shouted, "I'll collect a bag first to see the quality!"

With that, he took out a neatly folded "Flow-Gathering Bag" from his bosom, unfolded it, and then untied the mouth of the bag, blowing a breath into it. The Flow-Gathering Bag immediately swelled up, as if it were filled with mud and sand.

Then, he chanted a mantra and pointed at the bag, and the sound of "whooshing" wind rang out. A mass of invisible airflow rushed out of the bag, directly into the river, stirring up the water flow, which immediately coiled back like a water dragon and drilled into the bag. For a time, only the sound of rushing water could be heard, and an unknown amount of Three-Life Water was drawn into the bag.

"Old Jin, there seems to be a lot of mud and sand in this water!" Chang Guangming stared at the water dragon for two breaths and suddenly said.

"Yeah, there's a bit too much!" Golden Law King looked disappointed.

"Too much mud and sand? Why is that?" Fire Crow Daoist asked in astonishment.

Golden Law King shook his head, "How would Old Jin know? The Three-Life Water that comes from the Nine Yin Abyss is very pure. I don't know why the water here has so much mud and sand attached to it."

Chang Guangming said, "Old Jin, stop taking water for now. Let's walk forward. This is where the water emerges, so it's normal for there to be more mud and sand. After flowing for a distance, the mud and sand should settle down."
