Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After about fifteen minutes, the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast emerged from the hillside, bringing back a message: there was a thatched hut on the mountaintop, with no one inside, nor any unusual items. Its scent ended inside the hut, and it couldn't find any other exit.

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around, only to find that the path they had come from was completely gone, leaving only a vast expanse of white. It blocked even divine sense, and from within came faint roars, as if hiding some peerless ferocious beast.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was also startled, its green eyes filled with confusion.

Zhang Yuanjing turned and glanced at Yuan Zhilin and the others, sighing inwardly, but calmly said, "Let's go, let's go to the thatched hut on the mountaintop."

The mountain was very tall, but ordinary, except for the patch of flat ground at the very top and the solitary thatched hut standing on it, creating a unique artistic conception.

The thatched hut was only about ten feet high, and no more than twenty feet in length and width. The thatch on the roof was not completely withered and yellow, and the occasional hint of green indicated that the house was not built long ago.

The thatched hut had no windows, only a wooden door. Branches of varying thickness were woven together with bamboo strips, leaving many gaps in the middle, through which one could see the entire interior of the house.

Inside the house, there was only a table and a chair, with writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table. Apart from that, there was nothing else. The table, the chair, the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone were all ordinary objects, but they were neat and new, and must have been placed there not long ago. They were spotless.

"Suanni Beast, did you enter the house?" Zhang Yuanjing asked in a low voice.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast shook its head and cried out a few times.

"It said it felt something strange in the house and didn't dare to enter. But there is indeed all of its aura that has dissipated since entering the valley," Ape Thirteen explained using divine sense.

"Did it smell the aura that we previously emitted?" Zhang Yuanjing asked again.

"The Suanni Beast said that it could occasionally smell it when it was in the valley, but now it can't find any trace of it."

Zhang Yuanjing nodded, turned to the others, and said, "I understand the meaning of this, which is somewhat different from what I originally thought. This is a good thing, at least you should be safe while in the formation."

These words were spoken without beginning or end, and the few Foundation Establishment cultivators were a little confused.

Zhang Yuanjing continued, "In fact, whether we broke through the stone wall just now or not, we would have arrived here, just at different times. Now it seems that this thatched hut is mostly used to identify people. Don't look at it as just one room, in reality, it is impossible for us to enter at the same time, or rather, even if we enter at the same time, we will be in different thatched huts.

"After each person or demon beast enters, they will be copied by the white paper. The person who set up the formation will use this painting to identify the identity of the person. You are not the people he is looking for, so you will most likely not be in danger, and may even be teleported to a safe place."

As a disciple of Fire Crow Taoist, Yuan Zhilin knew a little about the situation and immediately asked in surprise, "Is the person who set up the formation looking for Senior Brother Zhang?"

"That's right. This formation will only leave me behind and let you go. I think, if there was no accident with the Black Crow King, according to Hao Sanding's arrangement, all the cultivators in the flying boat, after being screened by this formation, except for me, the rest would eventually gather in a certain place and re-board the flying boat to leave," Zhang Yuanjing said calmly, "The gathering place should be relatively safe. But people's hearts are treacherous and unpredictable. Please, Brother Ape, also enter the thatched hut alone and go to the gathering point with the five of them."

When Ape Thirteen heard that he was going to be separated from Zhang Yuanjing, he was a little unwilling and clamored with his divine sense, "Yuanjing, since the person who set up the formation is deliberately trying to capture you, he must be difficult to deal with. Let me follow you, I can help at a critical moment!"

When the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast saw its anxious appearance, it probably guessed what it was saying, and its mouth suddenly split open, making several cries like a human laughing.

"Brother Ape, the opponent is very strong, not to mention bringing you along, even bringing a hundred of you like this would be useless. Bringing the Suanni Beast is to find your traces, not to fight against a strong enemy," Zhang Yuanjing explained.

Yuan Zhilin said anxiously, "What kind of opponent is it? A Nascent Soul cultivator? Senior Brother Zhang, how will you escape? Can you find my master first before engaging this person?"

In his haste, he asked several questions in a row. The others also showed their concern. Especially Zhang Yuanjing's eldest disciple, Huo Zhengkai, wanted to say something but stopped, just not wanting to interrupt Yuan Zhilin, his uncle-master.

"It's okay, I have my own way to escape. You must remember, after leaving this maze, gather in a safe place and don't wander around. There are dangers lurking in the Hengduan Mountains, or perhaps a major event is about to happen!"

It was uncertain whether the Black Crow King's choice to ambush in front of Bishi Mountain was a coincidence or intentional. But the matter inside was probably not simple.

After explaining the situation to the others, he let Ape Thirteen enter the thatched hut first.

Ape Thirteen had always been bold and dared to act, and was not afraid of even the strongest enemies, but faced with this silent, unremarkable hut, he seemed a little restrained, and every move could be described as cautious.

He gently opened the wooden door, looked inside several times, and then looked back at Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing nodded and pointed inside, signaling him to enter.

Ape Thirteen's ugly face collapsed, and he tiptoed in.

When his whole body disappeared into the house, he was immediately gone without a trace. The thatched hut was still the same as before, without any changes, and the wooden door opened by Ape Thirteen was still swaying slightly.

"Master, has Uncle-Master Ape been teleported away? Or is there an unexpected danger?" Huo Zhengkai finally couldn't help but ask before Yuan Zhilin.

Zhang Yuanjing had a divine soul connection with Ape Thirteen and could only sense that the Golden-Backed Great Ape was in the thatched hut and had not encountered any danger.

He shook his head and said to Huo Zhengkai and the others, "He is in the house, and there is no danger. Now, another person goes in. Who will go in first?"

Liu Jinglong, who had been very calm and only watching and not speaking, took a step forward and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, let me go."

Without waiting for Zhang Yuanjing to speak, he lifted his foot and walked towards the half-open wooden door. He arrived at the door in a few steps, and without looking much, he took a step forward and rushed into the house.

The moment he stepped into the house, his whole person also disappeared.

At this time, Zhang Yuanjing could still clearly feel that Ape Thirteen was still in the house. That is to say, he and Liu Jinglong were in the house at the same time, but they did not see each other, and even did not have the slightest influence on each other.

"Another person go!" He ordered softly.

Huo Zhengkai stepped forward and quickly entered the house, also disappearing.

The moment his whole body disappeared into the house, the thatched hut clearly changed, seeming to "grow" a little taller.

A few breaths later, when Mei Zhenyi was preparing to enter the house, Zhang Yuanjing suddenly felt that Ape Thirteen had disappeared from the thatched hut.

At this time, it was only a little over twenty breaths since he entered the thatched hut.

His departure was silent, and the thatched hut did not show any changes in aura because of it.

The ingenuity of this great formation was almost comparable to several Xuan Tian Sect secret formations known to Zhang Yuanjing.

He let Pan Zhengyu and Yuan Zhilin also enter the thatched hut. After their figures completely disappeared, he collected the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast into his spirit beast bag and slowly walked into the house.
