Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Although Tiannan Immortal City was built by Chaotian Sect, as the northern gateway to the Southern Domain's cultivation world, it is the first city for cultivators from the Central, Northern, and Eastern Domains to enter the Southern Domain. Therefore, the cultivators stationed in the city come from various major sects in the Southern Domain, not just Chaotian Sect.

Three hundred miles away, Zhang Yuanjing put away the Wind-Riding Carriage. The group summoned their flying swords and flew low towards the Vermillion Bird Gate, located in the center of the southern city wall of Tiannan Immortal City.

The other cultivators they saw were doing the same. This is the rule of the Immortal City: anyone flying high near the city is considered a provocation. Once the city's guardian formation is activated, even Nascent Soul True Lords must retreat.

The closer they got, the more astonishing the pressure from this magnificent Immortal City became. Even Fire Crow Daoist felt somewhat suppressed.

"Yuanjing, if Zhenyao City is anything, then this Tiannan Immortal City is one too, and the first one at that. Only such a majestic city can withstand the siege of countless demons!" Fire Crow Daoist exclaimed.

Zhang Yuanjing was about to reply when an old Daoist, flying past from behind a hundred feet away, loudly responded, "Fellow Daoist is right. If Tiannan City falls into the hands of the demon race, wouldn't the five Zhenyao Cities in the mountains lose their rear? The importance of this city is no less than those five Zhenyao Cities. Well, in this old Daoist's opinion, it's probably even more crucial."

This old Daoist was dressed in a gray robe, with a gaunt face, high cheekbones, and small eyes as sharp as an eagle's. His cultivation was not low, already in the late stage of Core Formation, his aura deep and solid, showing that the cultivation technique he practiced was quite superior and had been honed in this realm for a long time.

Fire Crow Daoist was only showing the cultivation of the late stage of Core Formation at this time. However, in the eyes of this gray-robed old Daoist, the cultivation of this red-faced Daoist in front of him was much stronger than his own, and he could not see through its depth at all.

Fire Crow Daoist smiled and said, "What Fellow Daoist said is exactly what this poor Daoist thinks. This city has great formations and restrictions all over the walls, so it must be a place of war, with a sharp and exposed aura, far from what ordinary Immortal Cities can compare to!"

The old Daoist nodded repeatedly, revealing a knowing smile, cupped his hands, and said, "This old Daoist is Qu Yizhong from Lan Yue Valley, may I ask for fellow Daoist's esteemed name?"

Fire Crow Daoist returned the salute: "This poor Daoist is Yuan Baiyan from Xuantian Sect, I have met Fellow Daoist Qu."

"Xuantian Sect? Qu is acquainted with Fellow Daoist Hu Tiancong from your sect, but I have never heard of fellow Daoist's name. Fellow Daoist is neither from the 'Tian' generation nor the 'Yuan' generation, which is quite different." Suspicion appeared in Qu Yizhong's eyes, and he obviously did not believe Fire Crow Daoist's words.

Fire Crow Daoist's cultivation was only in the late stage of Core Formation. He smiled and explained, "This poor Daoist joined Xuantian Sect halfway through, so I am considered a guest elder, so I was not assigned a generation."

After speaking, he pointed to Zhang Yuanjing beside him, "This is a Xuantian cultivator of the 'Yuan' generation."

Zhang Yuanjing cupped his hands and saluted: "This poor Daoist is Zhang Yuanjing, I have met Senior Qu. Lan Yue Valley is famous throughout Tainan, I have long admired your name, it is truly an honor to meet Senior here!"

Lan Yue Valley is one of the top ten sects in the Southern Domain, and is the sect located furthest south, very close to the South Sea where sea demons run rampant. Don't let the poetic name of this sect fool you, it is a sect that advocates fighting, especially constantly fighting with sea demons. The cultivators in the sect are all surrounded by killing intent. This Qu Yizhong is probably often traveling north, so he is much gentler.

Qu Yizhong returned a salute, looked Zhang Yuanjing up and down, shook his head, and said bluntly: "Qu knows several Core Formation cultivators from Xuantian Sect, all of whom are from the 'Tian' generation. I didn't expect that there would now be a 'Yuan' generation cultivator who has advanced to the late stage of Core Formation. Your sect is indeed deeply rooted!"

Zhang Yuanjing said modestly: "Senior is too kind, but it is not as good as the emergence of talents from Lan Yue Valley."

Qu Yizhong smiled and asked, "Are you two here in Tiannan City to defend the city? Or are you going to several Zhenyao Cities to handle errands?"

"Defend the city? What happened here?" Zhang Yuanjing was stunned and asked in confusion. Before heading north, True Man Tong only said to get to the Second Zhenyao City as soon as possible, but did not mention anything else.

Qu Yizhong said in surprise: "This matter was announced more than ten years ago, your sect should also know about it, right?"

"More than ten years ago?" Zhang Yuanjing suddenly realized, "So it's this matter. My sect's Uncle Master Hu Tiancong arrived at the Second Zhenyao City that year, but I don't know how it is related to Tiannan City again?"

Qu Yizhong said: "Oh, Fellow Daoist Hu has come to Hengduan Mountain, I must pay a visit! As for the matter of defending the city, it is nothing more than the demon race harassing the roads and trying to attack the city. This often happens, but this time the scale is large and the duration is long, and there are groups of demons harassing Zhenyuan and Tiannan cities, so Zhenyao City requires each sect to send more people. Most of the people in this old Daoist's sect are fighting in the South Sea, so only this old Daoist came alone. If you two are going to Zhenyao City, you need to be careful, this road is not peaceful!"

The three chatted for a few words, and the group arrived in front of the Vermillion Bird Gate in the blink of an eye.

This gate was both tall and wide, capable of accommodating dozens of people side by side. There were guards in blue robes stationed at the entrance, and the leader's cultivation was already at the early stage of Core Formation.

Above the gate, seven white beads the size of dragon eyes were inlaid, constantly releasing gentle ripples, scanning the crowds passing through the gate.

"Senior, these are Seven Star Evil-Repelling Beads, which are specially used to identify demonic energy and cultivation. Below Nascent Soul, all are invisible. Even Nascent Soul cultivators can be identified," Zhang Yuanjing said in a low voice.

Qu Yizhong said with a smile on the side, "You only need to show your sect's identity jade token to pass unimpeded!"

The group followed behind the crowd, about to enter the gate, when suddenly a stern voice shouted from above the city gate: "Which cultivator dares to fly over the city, quickly lower the flying chariot, or you will be killed without mercy!"

The group immediately stopped, turned around, and looked up, and saw a silver flying boat flying like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it had broken into the hundred-mile range of the Immortal City.

At this time, mist condensed on the Vermillion Bird Gate, and a terrifying aura was born inside, ready to be released.

There was no response from the flying boat at first. Perhaps seeing the changes in the city's guardian formation and feeling the pressure, a vigorous voice said, "I am Zhou Tianbao from Burning Sun Mountain. We are here to assist in defending the city. Why does Tiannan City treat reinforcements who have traveled hundreds of millions of miles like this?"

"I don't care who you are, anyone who dares to violate the rules of the Immortal City is an enemy! Quickly lower the flying boat and accept the inspection of the city guards!" The person on the city head was extremely angry, his voice full of killing intent.

"Treating guests like this, I am not willing to defend this broken city!" The vigorous voice said rather unhappily.

Despite these words, the flying boat still stopped and slowly landed on the ground.

Four people jumped down from the city head, one was a late stage Core Formation cultivator, and three were middle stage Core Formation cultivators. The four stood in front of the flying boat, ordered the people in the boat to come out, and took out tokens that could prove their identity.

The people in the boat were silent and no one showed up.

Under the order of the leader, the four Core Formation cultivators simultaneously sacrificed their magic weapons, ready to attack.

At this time, a figure flew down from the city wall, and before landing, he had already transmitted his voice to the late stage Core Formation cultivator among the four. The late stage Core Formation cultivator's expression changed upon seeing this person. After a moment, he gave an order, and the other three reluctantly put away their magic weapons and returned to the city wall with this person on their flying swords.

Afterwards, the silver flying boat disappeared, and several people appeared from it. The latecomer spoke a few words with one of the old men among the few, and then led them eastward.

"It really is Zhou Tianbao from Burning Sun Mountain, still as arrogant as ever! Hmph, let's see if the heavens can protect you in the future!" Qu Yizhong muttered a few words, took out a token, and led the way into the gate, "Let's go, let's enter the Immortal City!"
