Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Inside the multi-storied ship, the hall was spacious, the furnishings luxurious, and the lights bright.

Ge Yang sat at the head of the table, his white eyebrows knitted together in a frown: "Everyone, one after another, Xuan Tian Sect's Core Formation cultivators are emerging, seemingly well-prepared, and confronting us head-on. Let's discuss how we should respond!"

A young, gaunt cultivator stood up and said, "Senior Brother Ge, allow me to go out and eliminate these three first. Then we can naturally figure out what Xuan Tian Sect is planning."

Beside him, a tall cultivator laughed: "Junior Brother Qu, if you go out and start killing indiscriminately, Xuan Tian Sect's backup plans will naturally be exposed, but then we won't be able to launch a surprise attack on Ink Bamboo Manor."

The gaunt cultivator retorted: "Judging from the current situation, Xuan Tian Sect has long been prepared. A surprise attack on Ink Bamboo Manor is already impossible. It's better to kill these three Core Formation cultivators first and see their reaction."

Across from him, a middle-aged cultivator in a red Daoist robe said: "I think Xuan Tian Sect is still probing, probably trying to figure out if there are any other Core Formation cultivators in this ship. This undoubtedly shows that our strategy of coming north in the ship, showing ourselves openly to the enemy, has successfully deceived Xuan Tian Sect. Their spies must have been watching us all the way, not seeing anyone leave midway, and assuming that all the cultivators are hidden in the ship!"

"Our sect's people were always hidden in the ship, surely there isn't another group!" The gaunt cultivator said with a grin, "Senior Brother Ji, how many Core Formation cultivators do you think Xuan Tian Sect has sent this time?"

The middle-aged man in the red robe said: "So far, Xuan Tian Sect has only sent out early-stage Core Formation cultivators, and judging by their aura, they are all inexperienced newcomers. If there are any Core Formation cultivators who haven't appeared yet, there should be at least one mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, or even two. As for late-stage, there probably aren't any. How many late-stage cultivators does Xuan Tian Sect have now? Two? Or three? Unless they know for sure that Senior Brother Ge is here, they wouldn't send late-stage cultivators."

The tall cultivator chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Ji, what you said isn't entirely accurate. If Xuan Tian Sect knew that Senior Brother Ge was here, they wouldn't send Core Formation cultivators. Tong Tianfu himself would have to come."

Apart from Ge Yang, the others all laughed upon hearing this.

Ge Yang, at the head of the table, coughed lightly and said, "It's unlikely that Xuan Tian Sect would send a True Lord. Tong Tianfu must guard the mountain gate to prevent Tian Mo Abyss from taking advantage. For the past ten years or so, Tian Mo Abyss has been strangely quiet, and it's rare to hear any news of them west of Tian Que Mountain. Junior Brother Ou, you took a trip near that Shumi Mountain, didn't you find any Tian Mo Abyss cultivators?"

A young cultivator with a face like jade, sitting on the outer side of the table, stood up and said, "Reporting to Senior Brother, I not only investigated around Shumi Mountain, but also went a million miles west, and didn't find any signs of Tian Mo Abyss cultivators. I did catch some rogue cultivators and interrogated them. They only said that Tian Mo Abyss seemed to have retreated to a very distant place."

Ge Yang snorted softly: "Forget it, those sneaky, hiding fellows can't be trusted. They probably suffered a loss at the hands of Tong Tianfu and retracted their claws, waiting for us to charge into battle for them!"

He paused slightly and continued: "The top priority is to capture Ink Bamboo Mountain, especially Ink Bamboo Manor. Master Cai said that it is a crucial point affecting the flow of the spiritual veins. The old ancestor of this Ink Bamboo Manor is probably also a master of formations. He saw the peculiarity of this place at a glance and decisively established his mountain gate here, probably thinking of intercepting the veins and gathering spiritual energy to create a spiritual cave."

"Senior Brother Ge's meaning is to directly attack Ink Bamboo Manor?" The middle-aged cultivator surnamed Ji asked.

"That's right. If Xuan Tian Sect hadn't noticed, we could have planned it slowly. Since they have already sent Core Formation cultivators over, we might as well seize it by force. As long as we occupy it, and then ask Master Cai to set up formations to cut off the spiritual veins, even if Tong Tianfu personally comes to attack, he will return defeated!"

"If Xuan Tian Sect has ambushed people in Ink Bamboo Manor, it won't be easy to capture!"

"It doesn't matter. At least three Core Formation cultivators have come here, so there will still be Core Formation cultivators left behind in Ink Bamboo Manor, at most one or two. Xuan Tian Sect wouldn't send too many people for a remote Ink Bamboo Manor. As long as there aren't too many Core Formation cultivators defending it, with Master Cai's formation-breaking tools, it won't be difficult to break through the manor's grand formation."

Ge Yang pondered for a moment, then suddenly instructed, "Junior Brother Qiu, this ship is your magical treasure. After we teleport away, you should go to the river, collect the ship, and then go to the opposite bank to assist in the battle. In this way, Xuan Tian Sect will think there are only the four of you, and they will naturally use whatever backup plans they have. If there are only a few of them, you can deal with them yourselves. If there are many opponents, then fight and retreat, and hold them back for an hour or two."

The tall cultivator stood up and replied solemnly: "Senior Brother Ge, please rest assured, I know what to do!"

"Very good. Prepare immediately, activate the Minor Sumeru Teleportation Formation in the ship!"

The tall cultivator responded, turned and walked into the inner room, embedded ten middle-grade spirit stones into a formation base, and placed a bronze-colored spirit talisman in the center of the formation base. As the spirit stones continuously emitted spiritual energy, strands of formation power rose from the formation base and quickly wove into a light and energy net several feet in size.

Ge Yang, along with Ou, Qu, Ji, and others, walked into the light and energy. The auras of the six Core Formation cultivators erupted, causing the light and energy to jump incessantly.

He said softly: "Everyone, use defensive spirit talismans to protect yourselves, hold your spiritual energy steady, and don't panic if you encounter any accidents. I will take care of it!"

Everyone took out spirit talismans, patted them on their chests, and formed protective shields. Seeing this, the tall cultivator inserted a spirit stone into a broken slot under the formation base. The energy connected in an instant, and the entire light and energy net turned into a white light. Ge Yang and the others swayed continuously, and the power of the spirit talismans on their bodies fluctuated sharply, their colors flickering.

"Boom!"

The white light suddenly exploded, but the six people inside had disappeared.

A moment later, about eighty miles away from the multi-storied ship, a formation base hidden deep in a mountain cave suddenly emitted a dazzling light. One, two... six figures flashed out of it, their faces pale. It was Ge Yang and the others.

Ge Yang coughed lightly and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Everyone, meditate for a quarter of an hour to recover!"

He took out a sound transmission jade slip, held it in his palm, and stared at it silently.

Ten breaths later, the jade slip trembled gently. He clenched his palm and pressed it to his forehead. Several sentences came from inside.

"Junior Brother Qiu said that two more Core Formation cultivators have emerged, Jin Tianwu and You Tianwu!"

The gaunt cultivator sneered: "They finally decided to send two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, but it seems they only entered the mid-stage a few years ago!"

The middle-aged cultivator in the red robe frowned and said: "Two mid-stage cultivators have come, Junior Brother Qiu and the others may find it difficult to resist! Xuan Tian Sect's cultivation methods are special, their progress is not fast, but their combat power is quite strong, especially in the later stages, they can learn thunder techniques, which are much stronger than cultivators of the same realm."

The gaunt cultivator said unhappily: "Senior Brother Ji, why do you have to inflate the enemy's arrogance——"

"Alright, now is not the time to argue. Let's set off immediately and attack Ink Bamboo Manor!" Ge Yang waved his hand, interrupting the gaunt cultivator's words, and led the way out of the cave.

The cave was very deep. The group walked for more than ten breaths before finally coming out of the cave. Outside the cave was a lush forest. Leaving the forest, they arrived at a valley. The valley was filled with flowers and buzzing insects, resembling a paradise.

Ge Yang took a few steps towards the valley entrance, suddenly feeling that something was wrong. He turned his head to look to the side and saw a gray-robed Daoist standing behind several small shrubs several miles away, near a steep mountain wall, quietly watching him.

"Fellow Daoist Ge, this humble Daoist has been waiting for you for a long time!"
