Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The vast marshland was boundless and limitless, with the water and sky meeting above and below, and the misty waves stretching left and right. Within, the landscape was ever-changing, with landmasses and islands rising and falling; outside, countless mountains stood as barriers, and great rivers leaped forth. When a gentle breeze came, ripples spread in layers, and the water glistened; when a gale swept through, mist rolled and surged, and waves crashed against the sky.

“It has been two hundred years since I last came to this Great Water Marsh. The scenery remains unchanged, but the spiritual energy is even more vibrant. It is a good place!” Lu Tianying said, gazing into the distance from the clouds, his expression excited.

Beside him, Yu Tianwan, with his inner aura concealed and his spirit as radiant as jade, stroked his long beard and said in a deep voice, “There are thousands of landmasses and islands in the marsh, but the larger ones are all occupied. Moreover, cultivators often come and go, so it may not be suitable for us to stay. Yuanjing, do you have a suitable place to establish our base?”

Zhang Yuanjing extended a hand and pointed to the continuous mountain range in the east, saying, “That range of mountains is vast and not a place of particularly strong spiritual energy. Perhaps we can stay there temporarily and wait for the future. What do you senior uncles think?”

Lu Tianying said indifferently, “I certainly won’t hole up in one place. The scenery in this great marsh is excellent, and I must enjoy it to the fullest!”

Yu Tianwan laughed and said, “The marsh is vast, with many places to play. It would be good to lead the disciples to train in their spare time.”

Lu Tianying rolled his eyes and said, “Then what’s the point of calling it play! I only care about my own happiness, and I don’t care about the rest!”

Yu Tianwan didn’t say much to him, turning his head to Tu Tianyuan and Huo Tiantong behind him, “Junior Brothers Tianyuan and Tiantong, what are your opinions?”

Huo Tiantong said with a smile, “Naturally, Yuanjing will decide. The place he favors must be good.”

Tu Tianyuan nodded lightly, expressionless, “Mm!”

Yu Tianwan said, “Since that’s the case, let’s go to the eastern mountains to choose a place to establish our base.” He then turned to Zhang Yuanjing and said, “Yuanjing, let’s go east.”

The group descended to the lower ground, joined the other disciples, and headed east along the northern shore of the marsh, traveling hundreds of thousands of miles into the deep mountains.

The group advanced rapidly along the winding mountain road, on the dragon-like mountain ridges.

In the faint morning light, the nearby mountains slowly unfolded like a landscape painting in ink wash. Thin mist gently swirled, like a fairy's veil, drifting with the wind, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing, enveloping the mountains in a hazy atmosphere. The distant peaks loomed indistinctly, as if floating in the clouds, connected to the horizon.

The pines and cypresses in the mountains were lush and verdant, with occasional strands of golden sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves, sprinkling on the bluestone path, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquil mountains.

Passing through layers of mountains and rivers, a cloud-shrouded high mountain rose into the sky, steep in the east and west, gentle in the north and south. Clear springs gurgled at the mountain's waist, flowing潺潺between the verdant forests and flowers, the sound of the water crisp and clear.

Zhang Yuanjing and Yu Tianwan exchanged glances, and everyone nodded in unison.

“Yuanhui, Yuanlu, you go and investigate that mountain first. If there is anything wrong, send a message back in time,” Yu Tianwan instructed. Zeng Yuanhui and Huan Yuanlu responded and left.

The disciples were silent, even the most lively Zhang Yu was walking quietly. Before departure, Yu Tianwan had explained to everyone that they were going to the Great Water Marsh and Starflower Continent for training, requiring everyone to not act ostentatiously and to follow orders. However, these cultivators were all above the Foundation Establishment stage, with clear minds and intelligence, and would not be easily deceived.

Especially Yuan Zhilin and the others, knowing that Fire Crow Daoist was detained, and that the Seven Cities Fierce Enforcers Hall and the Eastern Region Jixia Academy were inseparable from it, vaguely guessed the purpose of this trip.

After traveling more than ten thousand miles, they gradually approached the foot of that high mountain. At this time, Yu Tianwan stopped, took out a piece of spirit jade, gently touched it to his forehead, and then said to Zhang Yuanjing, “Yuanjing, Yuanhui and the others have sent back a message, saying that there are still Core Formation cultivators active in the mountain, asking how to deal with it?”

Zhang Yuanjing said rather casually, “It’s not surprising that this majestic mountain near Starflower Continent has been taken a fancy to by Core Formation cultivators. Let the two of them drive him away, but don’t reveal their identities.”

Lu Tianying said, “Why not just kill him! If that person leaves the mountain and is unwilling to accept it, he might call his friends and seek revenge, which would reveal our secret.”

Yu Tianwan laughed and said, “That’s okay. After we enter the mountain, we will set up a large array. If that person seeks revenge in the future, we will capture whoever comes. This way, it won’t be considered that we are bullying the weak!”

As they were talking, they saw several sword energies clashing on the peak of the mountain, above the clouds, stirring up the sea of clouds and causing chaos.

The crowd was still hundreds of miles away from the mountain and could not see how many people were fighting, but they all recognized Zeng Yuanhui's methods and knew that he had started fighting with the Core Formation cultivator in the mountain.

Before they could count to ten, the clouds surged, covering up the scene of the battle.

By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, Zeng Yuanhui and Huan Yuanlu had been waiting for a long time. The Core Formation cultivator had naturally been killed by them and fled south.

Yu Tianwan led the Core Formation cultivators to inspect the mountain thoroughly, and found nothing unusual.

The spiritual energy in the mountain was acceptable, and there was a medium-sized spiritual vein underground, with more than a dozen small spiritual acupoints around it. There were many妖兽, and two dangerous places hid妖丹境妖兽, whose strength was not weak. The Xuántiān cultivators did not attack them.

The Core Formation cultivator who had been driven away had only opened up a simple cave dwelling in the mountain, with only a complete alchemy room inside, and all kinds of alchemy materials. It seemed that the Core Formation cultivator was only temporarily staying here to refine pills.

Subsequently, Yu Tianwan and Tu Tianyuan began to set up formations in the area above the mountainside. The other disciples then spread out to lay the foundation of the formation, open up cave dwellings, and build palaces. In less than a month, they had built a wonderful place for cultivating immortality.

Zhang Yuanjing, in addition to teaching his disciples every day, refined the Yishen Pill and the Rongjin Duandan Pill. The Yishen Pill was only given to his disciples and the disciples of Fire Crow Daoist, while the Rongjin Duandan Pill was given to Yu Tianwan, who distributed it according to the situation.

Seeing that the temporary foothold had been built with magnificent momentum and ethereal immortal energy, Zhang Yuanjing was very satisfied. He prepared to go down the mountain to do something and return to Tianque Mountain to report back.

On this day, Yu Tianwan suddenly reported that two Core Formation cultivators had broken into the large array and were trapped by it. Lu Tianying and Huo Tiantong had already taken them down, and asked Zhang Yuanjing for instructions on how to deal with them.

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, “Uncle Yu came to ask, is it because there is someone familiar among these two cultivators?”

Yu Tianwan smiled and nodded, “Yuanjing is right. Among the two, there is indeed someone Yuanjing knows. This person is from the Myriad Dharma Sect!”

“Xiao Yousong?” Zhang Yuanjing immediately thought of a name.

Yu Tianwan said, “That’s the person. After many years, this person’s cultivation has reached the middle stage of Core Formation!”

Zhang Yuanjing was surprised and said, “With this person’s inheritance and aptitude, it is rare that he has crossed several levels in less than a hundred years, from the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Core Formation. It seems that he has obtained a great opportunity.”

Yu Tianwan thought to himself: Compared to you, he is just a small fry, not worth mentioning!

“It must be so, otherwise his chances of even breaking through to Core Formation would be slim! Does Yuanjing want to see him?”

Zhang Yuanjing nodded slightly, “Please ask Uncle to call him in.”
