Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Three days later, inside the right hall of the Heyuan Palace.

Yuan Zhilin looked dejected: "Senior Brother Zhang, can my master return safely?"

Zhang Yuanjing patted him on the shoulder: "Junior Brother Yuan, rest assured, Senior Huoya will definitely be fine."

"But, but he is still being held by the Jixia Academy."

"The Jixia Academy will never harm him before they get what they want." Zhang Yuanjing said with certainty, "Moreover, I also have two Yuanying cultivators from the academy as hostages. Exchanging two for one, I don't think they will be unwilling!"

Yuan Zhilin's expression brightened: "Is what Senior Brother said true?"

Zhang Yuanjing glared at him: "Of course it's true! The people have already been handed over to True Person Hu for imprisonment. Don't let your imagination run wild. Cultivate well in this hall and improve your cultivation as soon as possible, lest Senior Huoya be unhappy when he returns to the mountain and sees that you have made no progress!"

Yuan Zhilin responded submissively. Although he still called Zhang Yuanjing 'Senior Brother,' this person was already a Yuanying True Person after all, and his words were different from before. Most of the time, he could only listen.

"Go, you, Jinglong, and Zhengyi should find a few rooms to live in in the hall. If you need anything, tell Zhengkai and Zhengji as soon as possible."

Under Hu Tiancong's persuasion, Zhang Yuanjing still followed the sect's tradition and chose a hall as his residence and cultivation place, which was the Heyuan Palace.

His several disciples all had residences on Tianque Mountain and were not allowed to live on Zhenxing Peak according to the rules. On the other hand, Yuan Zhilin and the others, along with Zhong Bixing, were not restricted and could live directly in the hall.

Now that he was a Yuanying cultivator, his disciples also rose in status. When Zeng Yuanhui came to pay his respects, he directly proposed to have his disciples assist in managing the sect's affairs. He originally refused, but when he heard that Hu Tiancong's disciple, Ju Yuanzhan, was already serving as a steward in the Zhangxuan Hall, he agreed. In the end, it was decided that Huo Zhengkai and Han Zhengji would go to the Zhangxuan Hall to take up positions.

"Brother Zhong, how have you been recently?" After dismissing Yuan Zhilin, Zhang Yuanjing asked Zhong Bixing, who was standing quietly to the side.

In the Hengduan Mountains, since he stepped onto the arena, he had not been able to say a word to this iron-tower-like man, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Zhong Bixing said: "Reporting to True Person, I am very well. After returning to the sect, True Person Tong and True Person Hu both care about me very much. I lack nothing, and I can read all the sect's books that Jindan cultivators are allowed to read."

Zhang Yuanjing sighed helplessly. This Zhong Bixing was too stubborn. Seeing that he had broken through to Yuanying, he refused to call him 'brother' as he had in the past, and he also refused to call him 'Senior Brother Zhang' like Yuan Zhilin.

He nodded and said, "I know you are obsessed with swordsmanship, but my Xuantian Sect does not specialize in swordsmanship. After the sect's affairs are settled, I will take you to places like Hidden Sword Valley and Lanyue Valley to visit and learn from others, so as to innovate."

"Thank you for your kindness, True Person!"

"Brother Zhong, please call Zhengkai and the others in," Zhang Yuanjing said.

"Master, you've finally summoned us!"

Before anyone was seen, their voice was heard first. Zhang Yu, wearing a light yellow dress, trotted in and walked to Zhang Yuanjing. She respectfully bowed first, and then stood there gracefully, looking at him with resentment.

Zhang Yuanjing glared at her and said, "You're so old, and you're still so rash!"

Zhang Yu pouted her lips, but she didn't dare to argue with her master. She rolled her eyes and asked with anticipation, "Master, you won't be going far away again this time, will you?"

Zhang Yuanjing was about to speak, but he was speechless when asked this question. Fortunately, Huo Zhengkai and the others had all walked in.

"Greetings, Master (Uncle-Master, True Person)!"

Huo Zhengkai, Han Zhengji, and Zhang Zhengjun naturally called him 'Master,' Zhou Zhengming called him 'Uncle-Master,' and Pan Zhengyu called him 'True Person.'

Zhang Yuanjing looked at the cultivation levels of the few people and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Not bad, you haven't been lazy these years. I won't be stingy with rewards!"

"Thank you, Master (Uncle-Master, True Person)!"

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and pointed at Pan Zhengyu, saying, "Zhengyu, you have followed me for decades, and I have seen your hard work. If you are willing, I will accept you as my disciple."

Pan Zhengyu trembled all over and quickly knelt on the ground, prostrating himself and shouting loudly, "Disciple Pan Zhengyu greets Master!"

He was extremely excited, and the four words "Greetings, Master" were almost shouted out with tears in his voice.

Zhang Yuanjing stood up, walked forward, pulled him up from the ground, and said with a smile, "Alright. You are all my disciples, including Zhengming, and you are all the same."

He beckoned and called Zhengming to his side, and said earnestly, "If Senior Brother Yuankui doesn't return for a day, you will be my direct disciple for a day. When Senior Brother returns one day, you will be his eldest disciple."

Zhou Zhengming had gone through years of precipitation and was no longer the frivolous person he used to be. He bowed and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your love, Uncle-Master. This disciple will definitely work hard in cultivation and live up to Uncle-Master's expectations! When I see Master in the future, I will not be ashamed of him accepting me as his first disciple!"

Zhang Yuanjing patted him heavily on the shoulder, turned to face the others, and said, "During this period of time, you should come to the hall for half a day every day, and I will sort out your cultivation methods and explain your doubts."

"Yes, thank you, Master (Uncle-Master)!"

At this time, Zhang Yu turned lightly, walked to Zhang Yuanjing, and said softly, "Master, listening to you, it seems that you won't be staying in the mountain gate for long?"

Zhang Yuanjing turned his eyes and glared at her. Zhang Yu looked at him without fear and did not give in at all.

Huo Zhengkai said, "Junior Sister Yu'er, don't be rude!"

He said to Zhang Yuanjing, "Master, you guarded the arena in the Hengduan Mountains for more than ten years and defeated dozens of fierce demons. Disciples were fortunate enough to see your great power. Junior Brother Han, Junior Brother Zhang, and Junior Sister Zhang did not have the chance to see it. Why don't you tell them about it and let them know your prestige!"

Pan Zhengyu also said, "Yes, Master. Especially when you won the arena of the two races and took advantage of the situation to become a True Person, we all failed to witness it with our own eyes, which is a great regret. We still want to hear you tell us about it!"

"Haha!" Zhang Yuanjing laughed heartily, "On the arena, it's just some fighting, there's nothing to talk about. However, I did have some insights when I broke through the realm, which I can share with you, which will be quite beneficial to your future cultivation."

He looked at Zhang Yu and smiled, "Especially you, Yu'er, True Person Tong has high hopes for you, hoping that you can break through the realm with the upper method. This time I broke through to Yuanying in the Hengduan Mountains, but I achieved it with the middle method. Although it is still far from the upper method, it can also serve as a reference for you."

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Yuanjing with aggrieved eyes and wanted to ask again, but Zhang Zhengjun behind her pulled her.

Zhang Yuanjing swept his gaze across the faces of the disciples and said in a deep voice, "There has been a major change in the Hengduan Mountains, which will trigger the situation in the world. Next, the Southern Region, or rather, my Xuantian Sect, will face a great war. Some things do not require your participation. You only need to concentrate on cultivation and improve your cultivation as soon as possible. As a Yuanying True Person, I naturally have my duties, and I will have to travel around in the future. However, since the battlefield is on Tianque Mountain, I will naturally have to guard it here. You can come to this Heyuan Palace at any time."
