Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Boom!"

Under the continuous attack of tens of thousands of demons, a stone wall in the southwest corner of the water marsh was broken.碎石飞落, huge torrents spewed out from the cracks, quickly collapsing the entire mountain wall.

The water level in the marsh rapidly decreased, exposing the dark roots of the aquatic plants, but the green branches contracted downwards as the water level fell.

The snow fox demon, which had been standing atop the mountain wall, sneered and said in a low voice, "Finally revealing your true colors. Let this king see what you are!"

However, to its astonishment, after the water level dropped by thirty meters, the depth of the water in the marsh was still three hundred meters, as if the water that had just gushed out didn't matter.

It turned its gaze to the silt at the bottom of the water, carefully examining it. After a long time, it said with a solemn expression, "So that's how it is. But this is too huge! It can cover ten miles! How many years have you been cultivating here!"

Several demons in the late stage of the Demon Core realm walked behind it. The leading fox demon, with snow-white fur and a thin body, howled a few times. The snow fox demon turned around and said, "Take the beasts to find large stones, the bigger the better, and throw them all into this water marsh."

At this time, many demons above the Spirit Opening realm had already seen that there was a strange existence hidden here. The light orb had most likely been swallowed by it. It was obviously impossible to snatch food from a tiger's mouth, and it was easy to become a pawn for the transforming demon. Therefore, they all quietly slipped away.

The snow fox demon didn't care. It only grabbed a few greedy Demon Core realm leaders and made them drive the low-level demons to do hard labor.

Half an hour later, tens of thousands of demons carried hundreds of huge rocks, the smaller ones being several dozen feet in size, and the larger ones like a small mountain.

The snow fox demon stretched out a claw, grabbed a huge rock, and threw it towards the water marsh.

"Splash!"

Water splashed, and the sound shook the sky. But all the demons could see clearly that only the top seventy meters of the water in the marsh was shaking, while the bottom was very quiet.

Especially strange was that the boulder stopped sinking when it reached seventy meters in the water, suspended in the water.

"Throw all the stones down!"

With the snow fox demon's order, the beasts threw the large stones they were carrying down.

For a time, splashes sounded one after another, forming a continuous sound. The upper layer of the water in the marsh either splashed out or flowed out from the gap in the southwest corner.

Before long, the water marsh was filled with stones, and there was very little water left in the marsh. A strong fishy smell emanated, making a group of demons unable to bear it. Howls rose and fell, all expressing disgust.

"Roar!——"

A low, long roar came from below the boulders. The intense sound waves vibrated, causing many demons below the Spirit Opening realm to explode and die. Even the demons in the Demon Core realm were a little irritable and uneasy, constantly making low growls.

The snow fox demon stared at the bottom with bright eyes, its brow slightly furrowed. In its opinion, the existence below was hidden in the water, and its form was also like water. It must be a water-attribute cultivator. Being pressed by so many stones, it should have acted long ago. But at this time, it only attacked with sound waves, and did not come out of the stones.

After the sound waves passed, the bottom returned to silence. The existence didn't know what it was afraid of, but it just didn't show itself.

It pondered for a moment and came up with another plan. It called over a few late-stage Demon Core realm demons and instructed, "Find a place with a ground fire pit and help retrieve stones burned by the ground fire. They must be scalding hot. Bring them here quickly."

Zhang Yuanjing had been observing from a distance. With his divine sense, he could naturally recognize that there was a strange object hidden under the water. However, he searched through all the records in his mind and found no mention of it.

When the existence issued a long roar, Zhang San sent a thought, "Master, Zhang San feels the spirit of that thing. It's in a very deep place underground. The light orb from before seems to be hidden there too!"

"Hidden in the ground? Isn't it a water-based object? How did it get into the soil layer?"

Zhang Yuanjing was a little strange, but he acted quickly. He immediately burrowed into the ground, concealed himself with "Obscuring the Sky", and tunneled towards the bottom of the water marsh.

"This Zhang San can't count it either, but only in the soil below can I feel an extremely strong spiritual energy, at least at the Nascent Soul level."

In this way, the thing hidden in the water may be a plant or a spirit monster? Zhang Yuanjing thought to himself. Judging from those branches, this possibility was extremely high. Its roots were in the deep soil, and the water-like part hidden in the water marsh was either its flower and fruit or its stem.

Before long, he approached the bottom of the water marsh. Guided by Zhang San, he dived six hundred feet into the ground. He didn't feel it when he was above, but the deeper he went, the more concentrated the spiritual energy became. At five hundred feet, a huge "ginger" appeared in his divine sense. This was the rhizome of the spirit monster. There were holes the size of bowls on it, constantly breathing in and out. With each breath, a huge amount of spiritual power surged up from below it. With each exhalation, it was like a hurricane passing by, plowing painfully through the deep soil like a rake.

"Where is the light orb?" Zhang Yuanjing asked.

"It's still below. This thing still has a main root, more than a hundred feet long. The light orb is attached to the bottom of the main root," Zhang San replied.

As the two communicated their thoughts, a rustling sound came from the soil, very similar to snakes and beasts passing through.

Zhang Yuanjing had dealt with spirit monsters before, and he knew its methods. This tree spirit had already reached the Nascent Soul level. Although he had "Obscuring the Sky", he naturally couldn't hide it from its spiritual sense if he got too close.

He used the Earth Escape Technique, supplemented by the Earth Dividing Art, and dodged to the side. If he were on the ground, the tree spirit would attack with its branches, and he would naturally not be able to block it. But in the ground, fighting with root hairs, even if the realm was a great realm higher, he would not be afraid.

He had no interest in this tree spirit. But the light orb below was very likely a earth-attribute spiritual object, which was invaluable to him.

"Master!" A childish voice sounded, it was Zhang Shi who hadn't spoken for a long time.

"What is it?"

"Master, the wood core of this tree spirit looks good. Zhang Shi wants to drill into it and swallow it."

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and replied, "Wait until I take the light orb, and then I will let you swallow the wood core. At this time, we still need to rely on this tree spirit to deal with the transforming demon outside."

The snow fox demon was a little afraid of the tree spirit's branches and had not made a move. However, once it found a way to defeat the enemy, it would definitely launch a thunderous attack.

It waited patiently, but it was actually quite anxious. If the existence below had already swallowed the light orb, then its strength might increase sharply at any time. At that time, not only would it not be able to snatch back the light orb, but it might also lose its life here.

The demons who went to the Abyss of Ground Fire to transport fire stones would not be able to return for a while. It decided not to wait like this, but at least to interfere with the tree spirit's refining of the light orb.

"Awoo!"

The snow fox demon shouted loudly, leaped up lightly, and landed above the water marsh. Driven by it, tens of thousands of Demon Core realm and Spirit Opening realm demons all launched attacks on the existence below the water marsh.
