Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Two Nascent Soul cultivators flew from the nearby mountains, circled in the sky a few times, found nothing, and then flew away on their swords.

Several hours later, Zhang Yuanjing emerged from a hidden mountain forest tens of thousands of miles away, flying swiftly northeast close to the ground.

More than ten days later, he landed his sword beside a calm lake. The area was shrouded in mist and the scenery was pleasant, making it a good place to rest.

Yu Hanyan appeared from the crystal bead. She had no interest in admiring the scenery on the lake and said worriedly, "Senior Brother, that remnant soul is insidious. He deliberately created a false impression, making people think that you and I killed Qin Laodao. This is very detrimental to you and your sect. That Xuanjing Palace Real Person is also one of the stewards of the Seven Cities Alliance's Enforcement Hall—"

"Enough!" Zhang Yuanjing waved his hand, interrupting her. "The tree desires tranquility, but the wind will not cease. Although I don't want to cause trouble, I can't stop it from coming to my door. Why is it that cultivators from Burning Sun Mountain and Xuanjing Palace can repeatedly seek trouble with me, but I have to swallow my anger? It's simply because they are strong and I am weak! I have decided that I will not return to the Immortal City until I reach the Nascent Soul stage!"

Yu Hanyan nodded, "That's good. If Senior Brother has Nascent Soul cultivation, those large sects won't be able to manipulate you at will!" She stretched out her soft, beautiful palm and revealed the silver lotus flower: "This item will be very useful to Senior Brother!"

Zhang Yuanjing looked into her eyes, sensing her affection, and couldn't help but smile, "Junior Sister is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, so you could also use this item. Why do you insist on giving it to me!"

A trace of sadness flashed in Yu Hanyan's eyes, and she said, "Has Senior Brother not heard of the special nature of my Nine Cold Valley's cultivation method?"

Zhang Yuanjing said, "Yes, I have heard something about it. Your sect's cultivation method often freezes in profound ice during breakthroughs. If successful, you break out of the ice. If not, you are eternally frozen. Is that really the case?"

Yu Hanyan nodded, "That's right. This time, Hanyan is breaking through her cultivation method, but her realm has not been raised simultaneously, so I came out to travel."

"Does this mean that Junior Sister is going back to the sect to cultivate in seclusion to break through the cultivation method to the Nascent Soul realm? Can it be done by relying on spiritual objects alone, without the cultivation method?" Zhang Yuanjing still had a glimmer of hope.

"In my Nine Cold Valley, the cultivation method is the foundation of all cultivation. If the cultivation method doesn't break through, no matter what kind of spiritual object, it will not be enough to help break through the realm. Only when the cultivation method rises to the next realm, but the cultivation realm has not broken through with it, then spiritual objects can be used." Yu Hanyan smiled, "If Hanyan breaks through the cultivation method, but her cultivation has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, I will naturally come to find Senior Brother and ask Senior Brother to fulfill his promise to search for spiritual objects all over the world!"

Zhang Yuanjing asked, "Is Junior Sister going to return to the sect now?"

Yu Hanyan was silent for a few breaths, and nodded, "Yes!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"The Pillar of Heaven appears, and there may be great changes in the world. Hanyan should break through her realm as soon as possible."

Zhang Yuanjing sighed softly, "Junior Sister and I met by chance, but we immediately felt like old friends. I didn't expect that we would have to part so soon!"

A charming look flashed in Yu Hanyan's eyes, and she suddenly asked playfully, "Does Hanyan resemble one of Senior Brother's old friends?"

Zhang Yuanjing did not avoid the question and admitted frankly, "Junior Sister is intelligent and guessed correctly. However, it is only the appearance that is similar. In terms of temperament and personality, you are completely different. Because of your cultivation method, Junior Sister initially seemed frosty, but in reality, you are cheerful and generous, making it easy and pleasant to get along with you. I heard that the cultivators of your sect all have the practice of refining their hearts in the mortal world. I wonder if Junior Sister's companionship with me is also for this purpose."

"So Senior Brother knows everything." Yu Hanyan gently stroked the blue silk on her forehead and smiled sweetly, "However, Senior Brother's character and actions also make Hanyan admire you. Hanyan's Faceless Bead is not only good at identifying aura, but also at sensing the wickedness of people's hearts! All the way south, no matter who I met, they all had intentions of peeping, only Senior Brother is open-minded and truly treats Hanyan as a Junior Sister, so Hanyan also treats Senior Brother as a Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit in his chest, and a state of mind he had never experienced before arose spontaneously. He laughed loudly, "To be understood by Junior Sister is the greatest joy of my life!"

Yu Hanyan's beautiful eyes flowed with brilliance, and she quietly looked at Zhang Yuanjing, but did not speak.

Zhang Yuanjing and she looked at each other, their eyes clear, but full of all kinds of emotions.

"Senior Brother, how is your old friend now?"

"Hmm, why do you ask about this?"

"Can't I ask?"

"That's not it. It's just that times have changed, and old friends are gone. Mentioning it again will only add to the sorrow."

"Listening to Senior Brother's words, it seems like you have regrets?"

"Back then, one of my most respected senior brothers advised me that if I had a thought and couldn't restrain it, then I should be bold and do it, without asking about success or failure, but only seeking to express the thought. But I hesitated and focused on success or failure before acting, so I missed the opportunity. Later, when I thought about it, it was always difficult to let go!"

"From what Hanyan has seen, Senior Brother is decisive in killing, and doesn't seem like someone who is so indecisive?"

"If Junior Sister knew my past stories, I'm afraid you would turn around and leave, ashamed to know such a person!"

"Pfft, Senior Brother is being modest, but don't belittle yourself like that. Hanyan will never be mistaken!"

"The past me is me, and the past me is also not me! Meeting Junior Sister has allowed me to untie my last knot, and from now on, there will be no obstacles to reaching the Nascent Soul realm!" The aura in Zhang Yuanjing's body surged, stirring up the clear mist on the lake like a flying dragon, giving rise to a mysterious rhythm.

Admiration flashed in Yu Hanyan's eyes, and she praised, "Senior Brother's Daoist skills are profound, and have reached the ultimate realm. You can be called the Supreme in Great Perfection! Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is only a matter of a thought!"

"There's no rush for this matter. I'll escort Junior Sister for a while." Zhang Yuanjing smiled.

Yu Hanyan pondered, "The Pillar of Heaven has appeared, and I'm afraid that all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the world will gather in the Hengduan Mountains. This place is already a place of great contention, so we need to leave as soon as possible. Therefore, we might as well part ways here. Hanyan will go north, and Senior Brother will return south. We'll meet again when we have the chance in the future!"

She handed out the silver lotus flower again, "Please accept this, Senior Brother!"

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head, "If that Pillar of Heaven really connects to the small world, then even without this lotus flower, there will be a way to enter. When Junior Sister breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I will naturally enter with Junior Sister! Junior Sister, please keep this flower!"

Yu Hanyan helplessly withdrew her palm and said, "Then let it be as Senior Brother says."

Immediately, she took out a small silver short sword and said, "The sword is named Yuqing, and it was used by Hanyan when I first entered the Core Formation stage. I give it to Senior Brother as a memento!"

Zhang Yuanjing reached out and took it, gently stroking it, and felt a myriad of emotions. Then he took out a large axe and handed it to Yu Hanyan, saying, "This is my commonly used magic weapon, and it is named Pojian. It has repeatedly slashed powerful enemies. Please don't dislike it for being too rough!"

Yu Hanyan couldn't help but smile, "Hanyan will automatically treasure anything that Senior Brother gives me, how could I dislike it."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said no more.

Yu Hanyan danced lightly, her white dress like snow, surrounded by clear mist, her figure gradually disappearing in the beautiful dance, leaving only the crystal bead spinning non-stop.

Zhang Yuanjing said in a deep voice, "Junior Sister, please return north with peace of mind. I will naturally investigate the whereabouts of that Senior Luo Yuanhao for you."

The crystal bead swayed in place a few times, slowly rose into the air, and flew away to the northeast.

"Senior Brother, take care!"
