Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#75 - Chapter 75: Source Stone

The tunnel was about two meters wide and ten meters high. Luminous pearls were embedded in the ceiling every few dozen meters, stretching straight for hundreds of meters, the end of which was a dark abyss, leading to an unknown destination.

Zhang Yuanjing walked along the tunnel, the walls on both sides were dark cyan, perhaps containing secret chambers within.

Reaching the end of the tunnel, there was no path forward. A circular formation was on the ground, a teleportation array. He stepped into the array, the array patterns flashed, and a puff of green smoke erupted, teleporting him to a magnificent hall.

This hall was about fifty meters wide and over forty meters deep, with the same layout as the previous hall, also oriented north-south, with another doorway on the north side, where a towering black jade gate stood.

Dozens of dark, massive rocks were placed in the hall. These rocks were of similar size, mostly five or six meters in diameter, with a dozen slightly larger ones, seven or eight meters in diameter, and the largest five were ten meters in diameter.

Zhang Yuanjing stared blankly, not understanding why the Thick Earth Sect collected so many massive rocks.

He walked forward, found a large rock, and examined it repeatedly, but found nothing peculiar.

At this moment, the Thick Earth power within him surged like a tide, as if shouting madly. It turned out that what had been stirring the Thick Earth power all along, making it so desperately crave, was this thing!

"Could this be the Primal Earth Stone mentioned in the Thick Earth Art? It's also... too big!" A thought suddenly popped up, making him quite expectant.

He gently stroked the large black stone with his hand. The stone surface was rough, covered with fine pores, and occasionally showed signs of weathering, without any traces of carving, as if it was naturally formed.

He walked past one large black stone after another, slowly comparing them, and gradually noticed something special, which was that this object was unidentifiable.

The so-called unidentifiable meant that its hardness, density, material, internal structure, etc., all seemed to be shrouded in a kind of mist, difficult to perceive and identify. Even if something was occasionally gained, it would change again upon retesting, not like the previous appearance.

He also searched the entire hall inch by inch, without finding any stone carvings, golden books, jade scrolls, or other things used to record words, unable to determine what these large black stones were.

The internal space of his storage bracelet was only eight meters square, which could only hold one large black stone. If the large black stone was extremely heavy, it might crush the internal restrictions of the storage bracelet, causing it to disintegrate.

Zhang Yuanjing walked around the hall a dozen times, and suddenly slapped his head, realizing: since the Thick Earth power was so eager for this thing, he could completely use it to determine what it was. According to the Thick Earth Art, the Primal Earth Stone was used to assist earth-attribute cultivators in cultivation and fighting.

So, he found the smallest black stone, pressed his palm on it, and channeled the Thick Earth power into it.

As soon as this Thick Earth power entered the stone, it was led into a chopstick-thick channel, slowly meandering inward. This channel was like a human body's meridian, winding and twisting, as if entangled with something.

Before long, the Thick Earth power entered a half-foot thick large channel, which was like the human body's main meridian, connecting countless small channels. The originally considerable mana immediately turned into a thin thread, barely detectable in the large channel.

Zhang Yuanjing's thoughts turned, and he stirred up all the mana in his dantian, continuously inputting it along the previous route. This Thick Earth power was strong and vigorous, and soon rushed into the "main meridian", engulfing the previous mana and continuing to roll forward.

After about a quarter of an hour, a pond appeared in front of this large channel, filled with light yellow earth power, which was circulating and rotating, creating a vigorous wind. The Thick Earth power wanted to rush into it in one go, but was repelled by the light yellow earth power.

Zhang Yuanjing trembled all over, and the hand attached to the stone almost fell off.

He quickly stabilized his mana, manipulated the Thick Earth power to crash again, and the light yellow earth power actually transformed into a ferocious giant bird, pecking at the Thick Earth power, directly shattering it, and then opening its mouth to suck it in.

Zhang Yuanjing himself felt as if he had been hit by a heavy object, spitting out blood and flying backward, falling to the ground. He endured the severe pain, quickly got up and sat cross-legged, circulating his energy to heal his injuries.

After half an hour, Zhang Yuanjing opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood, and his whole body's aura finally stabilized.

He opened his eyes and looked at the hall full of large black stones, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This probing attempt allowed him to know that he could indeed communicate with the large black stones using his cultivation method, but this communication was not easy, and the large black stones seemed to have a will, with a strong sense of rejection towards external earth power.

He pondered for a moment, thinking that not all of the forty-odd large black stones would reject him! So he decided to try communicating with other stones. Of course, he couldn't be as reckless as before. If the large black stone showed any resistance, he would withdraw his mana and try another stone.

Zhang Yuanjing chose another black stone that was more than five meters in size and input his mana again. The internal structure of this black stone was no different from the previous one, except that the "meridians" were slightly thicker. The Thick Earth power flowed slowly, and soon entered the stone's "main meridian", following it, and before long, he saw a pool of earth spiritual power in the distance. This earth spiritual power was slightly different in color from the previous stone, it was dark yellow, slightly dark.

He stirred up the Thick Earth power and rushed up, but the dark yellow spiritual power pool seemed to create an invisible high wall, which blocked the Thick Earth power with just one block. Knowing that things could not be done, he did not hesitate and directly withdrew his mana.

In the next half hour, he tried twenty-five large black stones, none of which succeeded. These large black stones either blocked casually, or stirred and collided, or actively attacked. No matter what method, they blocked his mana outside the spiritual power pool, preventing it from entering.

There were a total of forty-two large black stones in this hall. From the smallest, to more than five meters, more than six meters, more than seven meters, more than eight meters, and more than nine meters, he had tried several of each.

The earth spiritual power contained in these stones within the same size range was similar. For example, those less than five meters were light yellow, more than five meters were dark yellow, more than six meters were dark yellow, more than seven meters turned golden yellow, more than eight meters were crimson gold, and more than nine meters were purple gold.

Of course, if these large black stones were compared to living people, different large black stones had different wills and personalities, some were gentle, some were violent, some were arrogant, and so on.

The larger the black stone, the thicker its "meridians", and the smaller the mana he input. Therefore, the more he tried larger black stones, the "weaker" the resistance Zhang Yuanjing encountered. When he reached the nine-meter black stone, the spiritual power pool simply disdained his Thick Earth power, and no matter how it penetrated or impacted, it could not enter at all.

As for the ten-meter black stone, Zhang Yuanjing felt that the chances were slim, but he just treated it as a dead horse and tried it anyway.

He found a ten-meter black stone, and without caring so much, he stirred up all the mana in his body and poured it all over.

The "meridians" in this stone were as thick as sea bowls, and his Thick Earth power moved in it, but it was just a small long snake, surrounded by emptiness.

When it reached the "main meridian", it was already the size of a bucket. Compared to it, the Thick Earth power was only like a small earthworm, twisting and moving forward in it. After moving for about half an hour, he finally arrived in front of a mysterious yellow light cluster.

This was a sea of spiritual power, with brilliant light, dazzling in all directions.

Zhang Yuanjing's Thick Earth power felt a little closeness from the mysterious yellow light cluster, so he tried to move forward a few inches. The mysterious yellow light cluster suddenly glowed and radiated a mysterious yellow light, shining on the Thick Earth power.

The Thick Earth power stopped immediately when it was illuminated by this light, and no matter how he urged it, it would not move at all.

A wisp of mana separated from the sea of spiritual power, rushed over quickly, circled around the Thick Earth power, and gently waved, bringing out a gust of wind, pushing it far away, and then leisurely returned to the mysterious yellow light cluster.

Zhang Yuanjing was immediately discouraged and had to withdraw the Thick Earth power, slumped to the ground, at a loss.

There were still sixteen large black stones in the hall that he had not tried, but regardless of size, they were not accepted. He vaguely understood the reason, fearing that it was because his cultivation was too low to impress these giant stones.

However, he thought again that the earth spiritual power in the ten-meter black stone was mysterious yellow in color, similar to the Thick Earth power, and had a sense of closeness and fusion. If he had a chance, it would probably be on these few black stones.

With this thought, he calmed his mind, meditated and adjusted his breath, nourished his spirit and mana, and chose another ten-meter black stone to pass mana into.

This time, the mysterious yellow qi sea in the stone seemed to be very interested in the Thick Earth power. It separated a wisp of qi, circled around the Thick Earth power several times, somewhat moved, but seemed hesitant.

Zhang Yuanjing was secretly anxious, and unconsciously urged the Thick Earth power, making it move forward a little. The mysterious yellow qi sea did not have any reaction.

He was overjoyed, and when he mentioned the cultivation method, he stirred up the mana and pushed the Thick Earth power towards the mysterious yellow qi sea. The mysterious yellow qi sea was still hesitating, not preventing it, let alone attacking, and just let the Thick Earth power rush in.

As soon as the Thick Earth power entered the qi sea, it was like a kite flying in the sky, a fish leaping in the abyss, doing whatever it wanted, and being everywhere, and like entering the mother's womb, getting the nourishment of innate qi, with vigorous and endless qi all over the body.

The mysterious yellow qi sea, after getting the integration of the Thick Earth power, seemed to come alive, with a few more points of spirituality, not as rigid as before.

At this time, a divine thought suddenly appeared in the mysterious yellow qi sea. This divine thought passed through the Thick Earth power, turned in an instant, and entered Zhang Yuanjing's sea of consciousness.

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked, and a mass of information appeared in his mind. He did not dare to open it all at once, but slowly refined it. This was the explanation about these black stones.

This stone was the Primal Earth Stone, a well-known creation wonder since ancient times, born from the essence of earth spirit, and is the purest thing of earth spiritual power. It can evolve into all earth-attribute spiritual objects in the world, and can also be transformed into unique and unique soil through the influence of a special environment.

The most magical thing is that this thing can be used as a cultivator's natal magic weapon and grow with the cultivator.

In ancient times, most of those who practiced earth-attribute cultivation methods would find this thing as an auxiliary object for practicing.

By the middle ages, this stone was relatively rare, and most cultivators who found this thing used it to refine weapons. Only the Thick Earth Sect, because of the reason of the cultivation method, preferred to use this thing as a heritage spiritual object.

This stone is extremely precious, and only disciples in the Thick Earth Sect who have broken through to the Jindan stage and have been established as true disciples can be awarded it. However, this stone has spirituality, and if it is to be used as a magic weapon, it must be chosen by itself.

Zhang Yuanjing was only in the Foundation Establishment realm, but because his cultivation method broke the restrictions and was promoted to the higher level of Thick Earth Transformation Art, the Thick Earth power he cultivated was already at the same level as the mana of the Jindan cultivator. Although the quantity was less than one percent of the Jindan cultivator, he still got some opportunities and successfully obtained the recognition of a Primal Earth Stone.

This Primal Earth Stone needs to be used in conjunction with the cultivation method, and the Thick Earth power that Zhang Yuanjing has cultivated can already control the Primal Earth Stone without any obstacles.

With a thought, he issued a magic formula, and the Primal Earth Stone quickly shrank, and soon it was only the size of a dragon's eye.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the Primal Earth Stone into his lower dantian, placing it in the Thick Earth power to nurture it.

According to the divine thoughts in the Primal Earth Stone, this stone needs to be nurtured by the cultivator with his own mana for decades before it can be used as easily as an arm, and the longer the nurturing time, the greater the power. With Zhang Yuanjing's late Foundation Establishment cultivation, he is not yet able to control this stone to fight the enemy.
