Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing sank into the earth nearly seven thousand feet deep, swallowing a mouthful of the bone-refining black mud to resist the immense earth power surging from all directions, while using it to temper the bones throughout his body.

At this moment, he was completely isolated by the thick layers of earth, unable to hear any movement on the surface.

Half an hour later, Fire Crow Daoist sent a voice transmission: "Yuanjing, that shapeshifting wild man values the spiritual fruits growing in the ground very much. No matter how this old Daoist provokes it, even if I expose myself, it only passively endures and doesn't leave the spiritual fruits even half a step. This old Daoist has scattered flames all over the sky, and anything approaching those vines is cleared away by its invisible power. Even with a strong attack from the Ruin-Universe Sword, it would rather suffer the blow than come up into the sky to fight this old Daoist.

"From the looks of it, those spiritual fruits must be exceptionally rare. This old Daoist will go find Qu Chongyi and the others. After settling them down, I'll return here. No matter what, we must lure this wild man away to give you the opportunity to pick the spiritual fruits."

Zhang Yuanjing naturally had no objections and, after replying, focused on his cultivation.

More than half a day passed before Fire Crow Daoist sent another message: "Yuanjing, that shapeshifting great demon has summoned more than a dozen demon core realm wild men, four of whom are at the great perfection stage of the demon core realm. Do you still want to try to seize those spiritual fruits?"

Seeing Fire Crow Daoist inquire in such a way, it was clear that he was quite interested in those spiritual fruits, so Zhang Yuanjing replied, "It's fine. As long as it's not a shapeshifting great demon, I can deal with them all."

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the voice transmission jade in his storage bracelet vibrated again.

Zhang Yuanjing picked it up and pressed it to his forehead, only to hear Fire Crow Daoist say urgently, "Yuanjing, the shapeshifting great demon has ascended into the sky. This old Daoist is engaged in a fierce battle with it. This demon is fighting desperately, and this old Daoist can only hold on for a while. Act quickly!"

Zhang Yuanjing activated 'Sky Concealment' to cover his body, then silently moved towards the surface. When he was a hundred feet from the ground, the sounds of battle in the sky were already clearly audible. The great demon was roaring hoarsely, its aura like a rainbow, while Fire Crow Daoist was fighting all over the place, but he didn't dare to stray too far. From time to time, he had to forcibly withstand the invisible energy attacks of the demon, which consumed a great deal of energy, and his breathing gradually became heavy.

Zhang Yuanjing slowly moved upward along hundreds of tree roots. With the power of 'Sky Concealment,' the demon core realm wild men guarding the rocks around the spiritual fruits naturally couldn't detect him.

However, the shapeshifting great demon in the sky might be paying attention to changes on the ground from time to time. Although its divine sense wasn't as good as a nascent soul cultivator of the same realm, it was definitely not something that could be compared to the golden core level.

Foot by foot, Zhang Yuanjing gradually approached the ground. He didn't dare to use his divine sense to observe the battle in the sky, relying only on sound to judge the situation.

When he was about five feet from the ground, all the tree roots converged into a tuber about ten feet in size, exuding a fragrance and erupting with spiritual energy from time to time, forming waves of spiritual tides.

Zhang Yuanjing bypassed this object and saw a deep green grass stem as thick as a bowl protruding from the top of the tuber. His divine sense penetrated the ground along this stem and saw a pile of vines coiled on the ground like a large coiled snake.

Near the top of the vines, there were three spiritual fruits hanging. One was shaped like a cherry, deep red and dripping, and seemed to emit a rich aroma. The guarding wild men would occasionally turn their eyes to this fruit, swallowing saliva incessantly. One was similar to a plum, completely emerald green, with a delicate color, and the surface seemed to have tiny snakes swimming on it. As soon as his divine sense touched it, he felt as if he had been pierced by a sharp object, which was quite painful. One was as round and large as a melon, half green and half yellow, and seemed to contain a special power.

Zhang Yuanjing was greatly surprised. He had never seen or even heard of a plant that could produce three completely different spiritual fruits from one vine.

He didn't observe too much. He aimed at the positions where the three fruits were growing, retracted 'Sky Concealment,' and suddenly rushed upward. As he emerged from the ground, he grabbed one spiritual fruit in each hand, first picking off the red fruit and the green fruit.

"Roar!"

The shapeshifting great demon in the sky discovered Zhang Yuanjing the moment he emerged from the ground, and immediately roared in anger, abandoning Fire Crow Daoist, his opponent, and pounced towards the ground.

The dozen or so demon core realm wild men guarding the spiritual fruits also reacted, attacking Zhang Yuanjing fiercely with fists and feet.

Zhang Yuanjing waved his hand, and the Yang Refining Umbrella rose silently from his waist. The black umbrella surface suddenly expanded, enveloping all the demon core realm wild men. A deep aura quickly swept through the demons, causing them to fall into confusion.

Zhang Yuanjing grabbed the melon-like spiritual fruit, tore it off with force, and put it into his storage bracelet.

At this moment, a huge force struck the umbrella surface, making a loud booming sound. It was the shapeshifting great demon who didn't have time to get close and released a ball of energy from the air, bombarding the Yang Refining Umbrella.

Under the umbrella, Zhang Yuanjing's ears were ringing, but his mind was not affected. He retracted the Yang Refining Umbrella and instantly burrowed into the earth, quickly diving downwards.

In the sky, Fire Crow Daoist saw that Zhang Yuanjing had succeeded and immediately retracted his spiritual treasures, fleeing swiftly into the mountains on his sword.

The shapeshifting great demon was extremely angry. It punched away the demon core realm wild men, reached out and plunged its hand into the ground under the vines, its several-foot-long arm completely submerged in the earth. It grabbed with force, but caught nothing.

It pulled its arm out, bringing out a large clump of soil. As it was about to reach out and dig again, it saw the exposed green stems of the vines, which had lost their soil cover. After hesitating for a moment, it pushed the soil back, restrained its anger, and lay prone on the ground, listening quietly for movement in the ground.

However, after listening for a long time, there was not a single sound in the ground.

It jumped up and walked more than ten feet down the mountain, then lay down again to listen, but still got nothing.

Still unwilling to give up, it turned to the side of the mountain, dozens of feet away, and listened again, but still without result.

At this time, it remembered the nascent soul cultivator who had lured him to attack in the sky. He stepped into the air and looked into the distance in the direction Fire Crow Daoist had fled. Knowing that it was impossible to catch up with this person, it couldn't help but roar up to the sky, its voice shaking the mountains.

More than ten thousand miles north of Wild Man Mountain, in a stream valley, Fire Crow Daoist was waiting with a group of golden core and foundation establishment cultivators.

Lin Yu and the others couldn't help but be a little surprised by Zhang Yuanjing's strength and methods. They had never imagined that the one who was ultimately lagging behind was not Fire Crow Daoist, the nascent soul true person, but Zhang Yuanjing, who had not been seen to take action much along the way.

Two hours later, Zhang Yuanjing finally appeared at the entrance of the valley. After picking the spiritual fruits and hiding in the ground, he first dived rapidly downwards. When he had sunk to a depth of more than four hundred feet, he used 'Sky Concealment' to cover his body and fled down the mountain. After leaving Wild Man Mountain, he descended another six hundred feet and slowly tunneled out for hundreds of miles. Then, he used 'Sky Concealment' again to protect himself, detoured to the east, then to the north, and finally found a hidden place to emerge from the ground, riding his flying sword to this stream valley.

Fire Crow Daoist laughed loudly and said to the crowd, "Yuanjing has arrived. Let's go to the First Demon Suppression City!"

This stream valley was still two million miles away from the First Demon Suppression City. However, for Lin Yu, Xun Fang, and the others, the area south of the First Demon Suppression City became more and more familiar as they moved north.

Under the guidance of the two, Fire Crow Daoist protected the group of cultivators, bypassing several great demon territories, and along the way, they defeated many demon core realm demon beasts, arriving at the Moon Worship Mountain, one hundred thousand miles south of Demon Suppression City, two months later.
