Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Above the vast, endless mountains, the flying ship glided like a phantom, sometimes within the violent gusts of wind, sometimes just beneath them.

Flying within the violent gusts placed a significant burden on the flying ship. Unless there was a perilous area that could not be bypassed, the flying ship mostly traveled beneath the gusts. When encountering towering peaks, it would pass around them.

The distance from Tiannan City to the First Demon Subduing City was about five million miles. At the speed of an inter-domain flying ship, it would take twenty-five to thirty days. If it encountered a large number of demon beasts, the time would be even longer.

"Yuanjing, if there are any unexpected events on this trip, I will leave the ship to deal with them. You will be in charge of everything inside the flying ship," Fire Crow Daoist said to Zhang Yuanjing and the others as they sat at the front of the flying ship. He turned his head to look out the window and quietly transmitted his voice, "The most important person to watch out for on this ship is Hao Sanding. He was sent by Zuo Dacheng to operate the ship, so he must have control of the ship's core mechanisms and even possess secret methods. Of course, we can't be blinded by appearances. The so-called illusion within reality, reality within illusion, this person may just be a decoy to attract our attention, and the real key figure may be someone else."

Zhang Yuanjing had obviously considered this as well, nodding in response, "I will definitely keep your words in mind, Senior. Many people on this ship come from major sects and have Nascent Soul Realm experts backing them. I don't know what kind of methods they have been given. If they suddenly launch an attack in this confined space, it will be truly difficult to deal with. I will definitely pay close attention and not give them any opportunities!"

He paused slightly and continued to transmit his voice, "I have a Connate spiritual treasure in hand, so controlling the situation on the ship shouldn't be too difficult. However, it is extremely dangerous for you to fight a great demon alone in these towering mountains, isolated and without support. I wonder how you plan to escape?"

After returning to the Xuantian Sect, Zhang Yuanjing, with Tong Tianfu's permission, entered the core area of the great spiritual cave in Tianque Mountain and placed the Refined Yang Umbrella into the spiritual cave to nurture it for more than half a year, finally awakening the umbrella. Once Zhang Umbrella awoke, the recovery speed of the Refined Yang Umbrella accelerated greatly. In just a few months, it was mostly restored.

Fire Crow Daoist waved his hand, "I have comprehended the Myriad Beast True Fire, so I still have some chance of winning against demon beasts. If I encounter a great demon above the mid-stage of Transformation, I will use fire遁 to escape. It's only a few million miles, so I'm not afraid of running out of mana."

"But what if you encounter a great demon with a very fast escape technique, Senior?"

"No need to worry. Fast escape speed doesn't mean they are good at tracking. I always have ways to deceive the heavens and cross the sea!"

The two exchanged silent words, but their divine senses did not relax their observation of the inside and outside of the flying ship at all. Hao Sanding and several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators sat at the rear of the ship, responsible for operating the flying ship, occasionally speaking in low voices, with nothing unusual to be seen.

Of the remaining three hundred plus cultivators, many were talking, and some were exchanging voices, making it difficult to determine who was problematic.

For the first three days, occasional flying creatures shot out from the mountains below, but their strength was weak and they could not even see the tail of the flying ship. Starting from the fourth day, many Demon Core Realm avian demons began to appear, some intercepting from the front, spitting flames, pouring venom, throwing giant rocks, or simply using their giant wings to strike, but they were all bounced away by the array power on the surface of the flying ship. The flying ship flashed past without slowing down in the slightest.

The people in the ship were also talking and laughing as usual, without any reaction, obviously accustomed to this.

Seven days later, as the flying ship passed through several steep peaks nearly ten thousand feet high, the number of Demon Core Realm flying creatures suddenly increased, exceeding a thousand, a dark mass like black clouds pressing down on the city, rushing towards the flying ship one after another.

Some with very fast escape speeds even chased after the flying ship, attacking its tail.

Someone shouted, "Manager Hao, these mere demon birds are so arrogant. Why don't you show them some color?"

Hao Sanding was probably familiar with this person, scolding with a smile, "Where are we even at? Will you replenish the spirit stones if we use them all up!"

That person said with a strange laugh, "Your City Lord's Mansion's flying ships are so expensive, taking one trip costs half of my life's savings, yet you are so stingy, allowing the birds to attack the ship without doing anything!"

His words resonated, and several Core Formation Realm cultivators began to jokingly and sarcastically stir up trouble.

Hao Sanding glanced at Fire Crow Daoist, and seeing that he had no reaction, he whispered an order to a person beside him. Without seeing any action from this person, a strong force suddenly erupted, and a ball of bright flames suddenly spurted out from the tail of the flying ship, burning several demon birds that were chasing very closely, causing sparks to fly and screams to be heard. The flying ship, taking advantage of this force, leaped forward, broke away from the flock of avian demons, and shot towards the side of the dangerous peak.

The few people in the ship laughed heartily, and the rest of the cultivators also showed relaxed smiles.

"Quickly raise the flying ship!" Fire Crow Daoist suddenly stood up and shouted violently.

Hao Sanding trembled and shouted to the people beside him, "Quick, raise the bow of the ship!"

These people were dedicated to operating the ship and had already been tempered a thousand times. Before Hao Sanding could finish speaking, they had already controlled the array devices in their hands, urging the flying ship to rush upwards.

However, before the flying ship could leap into the violent gusts, a huge force struck the side of the flying ship.

"Boom!"

The flying ship shook violently, and the people in the ship swayed, many of them exclaiming in surprise. The flying ship rolled to the side, and no matter how the operators manipulated it, they could not turn it back.

"Hahaha, it's actually the City Lord's Mansion's flying ship, and it's fully loaded. Old Bear has caught a big fish this time."

A deep and somewhat rough voice came from above the flying ship. Everyone looked up and saw a white bear with wings on its back, its limbs thick and its head hideous, but its actions were no different from humans.

"It's the White Bear King!"

"It's that killer again!"

"It's okay, with Yuan Zhenren here, it won't be able to act presumptuously!"

Fire Crow Daoist's divine sense shot out like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into the White Bear's eyes. The White Bear, not willing to be outdone, widened its red eyes, its body bursting with killing intent.

"No wonder you're so presumptuous, so there's a Nascent Soul Realm expert! Hmm, Old Bear hasn't eaten a human cultivator's Nascent Soul in at least a hundred years, I almost forgot its taste! You've come at the right time!"

Fire Crow Daoist smiled coldly and ordered in a low voice, "Open the hatch!"

At this time, the flying ship had already fallen below a thousand feet, and the number of avian demons gathering from all directions was as many as several thousand. Several operators had already controlled the flying ship, but without orders, they did not dare to drive the flying ship to forcibly escape.

Hearing the Zhenren's order, the expressions of several people relaxed slightly, and they immediately acted according to the order, opening a hatch near Fire Crow Daoist from the inside.

Fire Crow Daoist flashed out of the flying ship and rushed towards the numerous avian demons that were besieging him.

"You flat-feathered beasts, all of you get out of Old Bear's way. Old Bear wants to personally behead this human Nascent Soul!"

The White Bear King shook the wings on its back, accelerated, and rushed towards Fire Crow Daoist. In his hand, he did not know when a black spear had appeared, the tip of the spear glowing with green light, like a small snake swirling around.

Fire Crow Daoist waved his hand, sacrificed the Xuan Iron Great Gourd, and sucked towards the flying creatures filling the air. Immediately, more than a hundred Demon Core Realm avian demons were swallowed into the gourd.

The remaining avian demons were both shocked and angry, some fleeing backwards, and some roaring and gathering into a group, fiercely rushing towards Fire Crow Daoist.
