Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The human race's base was located northeast of the Pillar of Heaven, occupying two of the seven low mountains in the Savage Mountains. Relying on these two mountains, they established a large formation, garrisoning over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators and thousands of Core Formation cultivators, with as many as twenty thousand Foundation Establishment guards.

In stark contrast, the demon race's base was located in the northwest, with the northern mountain and the two western mountains as its core area. In reality, low-level demons were distributed in all directions: west, south, and east.

The arena for the two races was set up directly north of the Pillar of Heaven, standing on a flat valley floor between the two northern mountains. The slopes of the two mountains facing the arena had been transformed by both races into various pavilions or cave dwellings, serving as places for viewing and cheering.

When Zhang Yuanjing arrived outside the human race's base, the battle in the arena had already ended. Only a Taoist with a jade-like face and an otherworldly temperament was sitting cross-legged on it, recovering his energy.

He emerged from the foot of the mountain slope near the human race's grand formation and flew towards the westward-facing gate.

The human race's gate was very conspicuous, a tall paifang (archway) with the three large characters "Seven Cities Alliance" engraved on it.

Before the paifang stood two towering stone pillars, each personally guarded by a Nascent Soul cultivator. One of them was the Fire Crow Taoist, and he recognized the other as Huo Linyin of the Yin Xiang Sect, whom he had seen outside the First Demon Suppression City.

"Yuanjing is here!" The Fire Crow Taoist leaped down from the stone pillar, looking at Zhang Yuanjing from afar and asking with a smile.

Huo Linyin did not act presumptuously and also landed on the ground, standing with a smile.

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and nodded to the Fire Crow Taoist, then bowed to Huo Linyin: "Zhang Yuanjing of the Xuan Tian Sect greets True Person Huo."

Huo Linyin quickly returned the salute and said with a smile: "It's been over twenty years, and little friend Zhang's demeanor is even more outstanding than before. It seems you are about to become one of us!"

Zhang Yuanjing quickly said humbly: "True Person, you flatter me. This junior may seem to be only one step away from the next realm, but this step is like a chasm. It is still too early to think about crossing it."

Huo Linyin smiled and said: "Perhaps that is so for others, but little friend is a direct disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect. Breaking through and advancing is certain to succeed. In recent decades, True Person Yuan and True Person Hu of your sect have successively ascended to the True Person realm, greatly shocking the various sects in the Southern Domain. The profound foundation of the Ten Great Sects is not something ordinary sects can compare to!"

The Fire Crow Taoist asked: "I wonder when that Golden Cicada Great Demon will give up chasing Yuanjing?"

Zhang Yuanjing casually replied: "It only chased for less than ten thousand miles before stopping." Then he asked: "When did you seniors defeat the four demons?"

"Soon after you lured away the Golden Cicada, we injured one demon and killed another. The remaining two demons fled in panic, so we traveled smoothly all the way here."

Huo Linyin praised from the side: "Fellow Taoist Yuan and the others really took the initiative and gained the upper hand. Before even arriving here, they had already killed a Great Demon, boosting the morale of our human race and greatly pleasing the Hall of Affairs."

The Fire Crow Taoist chuckled and said: "It was just killing a Great Demon in the early stage of transformation. It's not worth mentioning in the Hall of Affairs."

Huo Linyin smiled mysteriously: "Fellow Taoist, you don't need to be modest. This is a different time. At this critical juncture, let alone killing a Great Demon, even if a Central or Southern Domain cultivator wins a match on those small arenas, it can be publicized."

"Small arenas?" Zhang Yuanjing was a little puzzled.

Huo Linyin said: "They are temporary areas demarcated for Core Formation cultivators who have not reached the Great Perfection stage, or Foundation Establishment cultivators, to challenge the opposing same-level demons. This is also a battle that the many cultivators and demons of the two races have gradually initiated out of boredom, and it is very beneficial for training disciples."

Zhang Yuanjing nodded: "I see."

"Let's go, let's enter the camp." The Fire Crow Taoist gestured to a team of Core Formation cultivators guarding the gate behind him.

A Core Formation cultivator in the late stage held a jade disc and shone it on Zhang Yuanjing. Seeing that the jade disc showed no anomalies, he softly ordered: "Open the formation gate!"

The Core Formation cultivators each took out a silver token from their waists and waved it towards the thick fog between the paifangs. With a flash of silver light, the thick fog split in two, revealing a stone path a zhang wide.

The Fire Crow Taoist took the lead, while Huo Linyin simply made a gesture of invitation. Zhang Yuanjing followed the Fire Crow Taoist, stepping onto the stone path and entering a magnificent square.

The square was bustling with people coming and going. Near the entrance, there were also two teams of Core Formation guards. On each side were pavilions, the specific situation inside could not be seen, but most likely there were Nascent Soul cultivators guarding them.

"Look, Yuanjing, the mountain ridges on both sides are cultivator residences, uniformly built by the Hall of Affairs. I chose a pavilion in the middle of the eastern hillside." The Fire Crow Taoist pointed to a mountain ridge a hundred miles away, resembling a crouching tiger.

Zhang Yuanjing pointed to the mountain ridge directly north of the square and asked: "Has this mountain been completely occupied?"

The Fire Crow Taoist shook his head: "Not yet." Then he lowered his voice: "The Hall of Affairs and the Ten Great Sects of the Central Domain are stationed here, so the various sects of the Southern Domain have gone to the eastern mountain, including Spirit Martial Mountain." He also transmitted his voice: "Tang Zhaoyang specifically instructed me to choose a place in the middle of the mountain ridge, saying it would be convenient for him to bring people over to visit."

Zhang Yuanjing smiled lightly and said two words: "Eastern Domain?"

The Fire Crow Taoist nodded.

"This True Person is really impatient!" Zhang Yuanjing sighed softly.

"It doesn't matter. It's good to meet him." The Fire Crow Taoist said meaningfully.

The two summoned their flying swords and flew towards the mountain.

On the eastern mountain, the pavilions were spaced slightly farther apart, especially towards the top of the mountain. Often, there was only one mansion within a ten-mile radius, with stone walls outside, halls and pavilions inside, and trees, grass, and flowers to conceal it. All kinds of designs showed the methods of cultivators.

The courtyard occupied by the Xuan Tian Sect covered an area of seven or eight miles, with two halls in the middle, pavilions on both sides, a gatehouse in front, and a hidden cave dwelling in the back. Corridors were built between the various places, introducing flowing water and protecting it with flowers and plants, greatly embodying the meaning of creation.

The two landed in front of the courtyard, and Huo Zhengkai, who had been waiting for a long time, opened the door from inside, greeting his master loudly and then paying respects to the Fire Crow Taoist.

His actions also caused everyone in the house to come out.

A female cultivator dressed in a white dress, with a pretty face, leaped down from the south pavilion, smiled at Zhang Yuanjing, and said: "Senior Brother Yuanjing, this little sister has been waiting for you in the Hengduan Mountains for almost thirty years, and today I finally see you!"

This female cultivator was Su Yuanxiao, who was waiting for Zhang Yuanjing to meet up in the Second Demon Suppression City and go to the Eastern Domain together.

Zhang Yuanjing looked deeply at this playful female cultivator and said with a smile: "It's been over twenty years since we last met, Junior Sister Su's demeanor is still the same, and her cultivation has increased greatly, truly gratifying!"

Su Yuanxiao was stunned. There was nothing wrong with these words, but she felt that something was wrong. It wasn't that the words were wrong, but that the person speaking them seemed to have changed.

She reacted quickly, a cunning look appearing in her eyes: "Senior Brother Yuanjing's words sound like he is mocking this little sister! In less than thirty years, Senior Brother has jumped from the middle stage of Core Formation to the Great Perfection stage, but this little sister has only consolidated her realm in the early stage of Core Formation, and is still some distance away from breaking through to the middle stage. How can I compare!"

Zhang Yuanjing laughed: "Junior Sister Su's foundation is solid. It may be a little slower in the early stage, but it will be smoother later. With the direct inheritance techniques of my Xuan Tian Sect, if you reach the Great Perfection stage of Core Formation in the future, you will surely be the leader among your peers!"

Su Yuanxiao giggled: "It's been a long time since I've seen Senior Brother Yuanjing. It seems like your mouth is smeared with honey! With you saying this, I won't hold the thirty years of waiting against you."

At this time, a gentle but somewhat serious voice came from behind Su Yuanxiao: "The delay in time may not be a matter of concern, but the matter of assisting the direct lineage of my Farmer family to return to the academy must still be taken into account!"
