Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#716 - Chapter 715 Light Column

Zhang Yuanjing slipped into the valley, followed the stream into the stone house, leaped up, and landed on the transverse bone where he had stood before.

“I knew you'd be back!” Qin, the old Taoist, said triumphantly from the darkness. “Is Fellow Daoist Zhang willing to accept my terms of trade?”

“Indeed, I accept your terms. Now, I want to break open this bone. Is Shopkeeper Qin ready?”

“So eager?” Old Taoist Qin looked at Zhang Yuanjing suspiciously.

Zhang Yuanjing took out the crystal pearl and held it in his palm.

Old Taoist Qin's expression changed, and he took out a green jade scepter, saying in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Zhang wants to fight? Although you have two rare treasures, you are only at the Golden Core stage. I am confident that I can defeat you!”

“How can I break the bone without fighting!” Zhang Yuanjing showed a mocking smile. “You should step aside. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you get hurt!”

Old Taoist Qin was about to speak when he saw a clear mist suddenly emanating from the crystal pearl. Immediately, a woman in white leaped out, holding a sword, and slashed at the skeleton.

He couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that Zhang Yuanjing was hiding a remnant soul behind him, and it was a stunning beauty!

“Boom!”

A deafening roar exploded in the stone house, and the skeleton shattered in response. Countless bone fragments fell from above like broken stones.

A look of ecstasy flashed in Old Taoist Qin's eyes. He summoned a large pocket, quickly cast a spell, and the pocket became like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowing the bone fragments in the sky.

He focused his divine sense on Zhang Yuanjing, but saw him looking up with his hands behind his back, staring blankly at the scattered bone fragments, without summoning any treasure to collect them. Doubts arose in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that after the woman in white slashed the bone with her sword, she did not disappear. Instead, she slowly landed beside Zhang Yuanjing, and the long sword in her hand was suspended in space, emitting a powerful pressure. An unknown force was constantly being extracted from the scattered bones, all going into the sword.

Old Taoist Qin immediately realized something. He reached out and grabbed a bone fragment. Just as he was about to mobilize his magic power to investigate, the bone fragment softened and turned into a cloud of dust, slipping through his fingers.

He was suddenly shocked and reached out to grab more than a dozen bone fragments in succession. However, as soon as these bone fragments touched his fingers, they immediately turned into powder, becoming completely ordinary, without a trace of spiritual energy.

“Why is it like this! Why?” Old Taoist Qin went from elation to great disappointment. His emotions rose and fell sharply, and he became frantic, questioning Zhang Yuanjing in a stern voice.

At the same time, a dark and gloomy aura emanated from his body, covering Zhang Yuanjing and Yu Hanyan.

Before the two could react, the long sword in the sky suddenly shook, emitting a dragon's roar, like a thunderbolt, falling on the dark aura. A shrill scream was heard, and the dark aura was instantly swept away. Old Taoist Qin was as if he had been hit hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and falling from the air.

As he fell, a dark aura rose from his body again, holding him up, and slowly descending.

At this time, the long sword in the sky had stopped absorbing the strange power from the broken bones. It was pure white, its light like the sun, and its aura was extremely cold, freezing the entire stone room.

Zhang Yuanjing and Yu Hanyan quietly watched the long sword, both feeling a little nervous, wondering what the sword would do next.

The surrounding air became colder and colder. Yu Hanyan was quite adapted to it, but Zhang Yuanjing needed to circulate his magic power to isolate himself from the outside world in order to avoid the invasion of the sword's extremely cold aura.

Old Taoist Qin also calmed down, his two bright eyes staring straight at the long sword.

After a few breaths, the stone house suddenly shook, and a roaring sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami came from outside.

The three were all shocked, not knowing why. They saw the crystal clear long sword above, turned its blade, pointed straight up, and suddenly darted out, shooting out quickly.

“Boom!”

The long sword pierced through the top of the stone house, went straight into the clear sky, and disappeared from the eyes of the three in an instant.

A palm-sized silver lotus flower descended from the sky, swaying and swaying, as if it had eyes, and fell towards Yu Hanyan.

Old Taoist Qin leaped into the air and reached out to grab the lotus flower. A dark aura was rapidly spreading around him, cutting off Zhang Yuanjing and Yu Hanyan's route to come up and compete.

Just as Zhang Yuanjing and Yu Hanyan were about to take action, a sword aura shot out from the swaying lotus flower, and instantly disappeared into the dark aura.

“Bang!” The aura exploded directly, leaving no trace behind.

Old Taoist Qin screamed and fell face down into the water, instantly swept away by the rushing current.

Yu Hanyan reached out and caught the falling lotus flower, staring blankly at it, with a dazed look in her eyes.

“Let's go, Junior Sister! Let's go out and see what's going on!”

Zhang Yuanjing flew up and went straight to the top of the stone house, rushing out through the opening pierced by the long sword.

Above the clouds, a giant sword hundreds of feet long radiated a cold light, and its earth-shattering pressure fell directly on the soaring main peak.

The main peak of Savage Mountain had risen from the ground at some point and was slowly rising into the sky.

Hundreds of monks, whether at the Golden Core stage or the Nascent Soul stage, flew away on their swords, fleeing in all directions, until they left the range of the giant sword's aura, and then chose a place with a wide field of vision, staring at the changes of the giant sword.

Yu Hanyan flew out of the stone house and said, “Senior Brother, that lotus flower——”

“Let's not talk about this, look at the giant sword in the sky!” Zhang Yuanjing pointed to the main peak and said in a deep voice.

The spiritual power of the heavens flowed like water, all gathering into the giant sword. The giant sword's aura rose steadily, and soon reached a certain limit, and the surrounding space seemed to be collapsing under the pressure.

But the giant sword still frantically absorbed spiritual power, without diminishing at all.

“Rumble!”

A low thunderous sound rang above the giant sword, and groups of thunderclouds condensed, forming a dark mass, with lightning moving and flashing inside.

Affected by this, the speed of the giant sword's absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowed down, but it still did not stop.

The thunderclouds were still accumulating, directly covering the entire sky, and the sky quickly darkened, as if night had fallen.

Some monks, fearing that they would be implicated, urged their flying swords to escape to the far distance. However, more monks stopped on the periphery of the mountains and did not move. Such an anomaly indicates that there will be a drastic change in this place. Although the danger is unpredictable, there must be a great opportunity.

“Senior Brother, that lotus flower is a token that can enter some kind of secret realm!” Yu Hanyan said hurriedly.

“What secret realm?”

“I don't know. A wisp of thought is attached to the lotus flower, only saying that you can use this item to enter the secret realm that is about to open, and you can obtain a great opportunity by this.” Yu Hanyan paused slightly, and continued, “However, that thought said that if you want to enter the secret realm, you need… Nascent Soul cultivation!”

Zhang Yuanjing nodded first, then reacted, turned his eyes to look at her beautiful eyes, and smiled: “In this way, I lost the previous bet. I am willing to accept the bet and search the world for strange objects that can be used to form a Nascent Soul for Junior Sister!”

Yu Hanyan softly called out “Senior Brother,” hesitant to speak.

Zhang Yuanjing knew what she wanted to say, and said: “Let's observe the changes in the situation, and when the matter here is over, you and I will find a quiet place to talk.”

Yu Hanyan nodded silently, but a hint of sorrow flashed in her eyes.

The thunderclouds were as black as ink, and the lightning was ready to go. The giant sword seemed to be saturated, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth it absorbed was very little, but it had not completely stopped.

The power of the sword and the power of thunder were both continuously accumulating, and the two restrained each other, maintaining a delicate balance.

The onlookers all had solemn expressions, stagnant breathing, and their bodies were also slightly trembling due to the changes in the general trend of heaven and earth. This is the traction of the aura, and even Nascent Soul monks cannot completely control themselves.

The main peak was still rising, dozens of feet above the ground. A huge pit was exposed below, and the pit was dark and unclear what was hidden.

Zhang Yuanjing threw his divine sense over, but it was like touching a ball of fire, and it was instantly refined, shocking him to quickly withdraw his divine sense, not daring to explore rashly again.

This situation happened to all the onlookers.

“Senior Brother, can your spiritual treasure explore the situation in the pit? Hanyan's pearl cannot sense any spiritual energy.”

“My spiritual treasure, like Junior Sister's pearl, has not detected any spiritual energy fluctuations.”

“Senior Brother, this place is dangerous, it is better to retreat to the distance first.” Yu Hanyan suddenly said.

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head: “Such a scene is rare to see, how can we take the initiative to avoid it. Moreover, now the aura is connected, and a little movement may trigger a drastic change, it is better to wait and see. Don't worry, the power of that giant sword was made by Junior Sister, it will definitely not hurt Junior Sister.”

While speaking, some of the onlookers could not withstand the strong pressure of the general trend of heaven and earth, and suddenly withdrew. With one person taking the lead, many people followed, and in an instant, as many as a hundred people flew away on their swords.

Such a movement immediately attracted the thunderclouds in the sky, and a huge black thunderbolt struck the giant sword in the sky.

The giant sword did not dodge or evade, carrying its accumulated power, and slashed at the mountain below.

“Boom! Boom boom!”

The sound of thunder and the sound of sword strikes sounded at the same time, shaking the sky and the ground with rumbling sounds. The onlookers were struck hard, those with shallow cultivation fell to the ground immediately, those with decent cultivation trembled uncontrollably and their aura plummeted, while Zhang Yuanjing and Yu Hanyan had the blessing of powerful spiritual treasures, so they were comparable to Nascent Soul monks, standing still in this great power.

As for the hundred people who had fled before, although they were farther away from the thunder and the giant sword, without exception, they were pierced by invisible sword energy, bleeding in the sky and falling directly to the ground, seeing their vitality cut off.

The remaining people, no one dared to move randomly again.

The giant sword was hundreds of feet long, and in front of the mountain, it was just a small section, but the sword energy of this sword seemed to stretch for an unknown number of miles, directly covering the north and south ends of the entire mountain. With one sword falling, it slashed from the top of the peak to the bottom of the mountain, forcibly splitting the giant peak open.

What was even more bizarre was that the thunder that struck down from the thunderclouds did not reach the sword body for a long time, but followed the giant sword step by step, falling into the deep pit along with it.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths… After ten breaths, a muffled roar came from the pit. After a while, a seven-colored beam of light shot out from it, straight into the thunderclouds in the sky.

“Boom!”

A loud noise in the sky, like a thunderclap in a flat land, all the thunderclouds disappeared in an instant, and a huge vortex was exposed above the sky, and the seven-colored beam plunged into this vortex at one end, and connected to the depths of the pit at the other end, like a pillar of light supporting the sky.

Once this pillar of light was formed, the spiritual power of the heavens seemed to have found a gap in the flood, and frantically poured into the pillar of light.
