Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

"There is no way to go further in the cave, and it seems that the eight hundred linked caves are not all connected." Tie Zhixin said.

"It turns out that the cultivators in the family who entered the eight hundred linked caves are all in the early stage of Qi Refining, and they have not explored so deeply." Zhang Meng said on the side.

"This two-headed swallowing sky python has such a strong body, it must have swallowed the ten thousand year old stone milk, but we have been looking for it in this cave for such a long time and haven't found it. What's going on?" Zhang Xuan also felt very strange.

Fan Zhiyi said: "The ten thousand year old stone milk may have been eaten by this two-headed swallowing sky python. The monster beast has no idea of ​​long-term development. It will consume all the cultivation resources immediately after finding a little bit."

"It should be like this," Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement, "The eight hundred linked caves are thousands of miles in radius. Now we have explored a thousand miles. The explored area is not 40%, but 30%. What do you think next?"

"There is no way ahead. I mean, we will explore this much." Fan Zhiyi said.

"My idea is the same as that of Fellow Daoist Fan. There are more than 300 caves of various sizes in the thousand-mile area we have cleared, which is enough to serve as shelters for the current cultivators in Fairy Cat Valley." Tie Zhixin also agreed.

"I also agree to return to Fairy Cat Valley as soon as possible. There is only one set of third-level defense formations there. It is still too dangerous without a foundation-building cultivator." Zhang Meng, as the most senior elder among the elders of each clan, also expressed his opinion.

Seeing that everyone agreed to return to Fairy Cat Valley, Zhang Xuan said, "Let's return to Fairy Cat Valley as soon as possible, recuperate for a while, and then transfer some cultivators here to continue exploring the caves that have been cleared."

"Okay."

Everyone directly teleported back to Fairy Cat Valley through the positioning array.

"Boom--"

"Boom--"

"Boom--"

With loud noises, the entire Fairy Cat Valley was shaking.

"Master, you are finally back." Zhang Sanqian almost cried when he saw Zhang Xuan coming back.

"Uncle Sanqian, what was that sound just now? Why was it so loud?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"During the five days when the temple master was away, the third-level locust would attack the third-level defense formation from time to time. The high-grade spirit stones were consumed very quickly. Now there are only eight high-grade spirit stones left."

"What a close call!"

Zhang Xuan thought that leaving 50 spirit stones would be more than enough.

I didn't expect Ping Tianhou to be so shameless that he actually attacked the defense formation himself.

"Fortunately, I came back in time. If I came back a day later, I'm afraid the defense formation would be broken." Zhang Xuan was a little scared.

He took out another 50 high-grade spirit stones from the storage bag.

"Uncle Sanqian, you use these high-grade spirit stones first."

"Okay."

"In addition, pick out all those who are in the early stage of Qi training and under 20 years old in our temple street."

"How..."

"Transfer some people to the secret realm of Xianmao Cave first."

"Has the shelter over there been cleaned up?" Zhang Sanqian looked overjoyed.

"Cleaned up."

"Great, I'll prepare it right away."

Soon, the fire seeds selected by the old strong branches of each tribe and the Great King Fort were ready.

This is the first batch of cultivators transported to the secret realm of the Fairy Cat Cave. There are about 5,000 people in total, of which only 300 were selected by Temple Street.

"You are the fire seeds we left behind. When you arrive at the Eight Hundred Linked Caves, you must practice diligently to strengthen the power of our human race!" The clan leader Zhang Yuhuai, who has become a ghost, said to this group of cultivators who are about to be transferred.

Originally, Zhang Xuan wanted the old clan leader to be transferred together.

But the old clan leader disagreed and vowed to live and die with the Fairy Cat Valley.

Unable to persuade him, Zhang Xuan had to follow him.

The foundation-building monks used the teleportation array to protect this group of fire seed cultivators and teleport them to the secret realm of the Fairy Cat Cave.

After these young cultivators came to the Eight Hundred Linked Caves, they were all very nervous.

After all, this is a damp and dark underground, which is completely different from the original Fairy Cat Valley.

Next, the sphere of influence of the cave began to be divided.

The ten clan elders and branches of Zhangjiaji and the King's Castle of Iron Heart all participated in the discussion of the division of spheres of influence.

Nearly 20 foundation-building monks from the King's Castle participated in the task of cleaning up the eight hundred linked caves, and took away 80 of the 300 caves.

The remaining 220 caves were divided up by the ten clan elders and branches.

Among the ten clan elders and branches, Zhang Xuan made the greatest contribution.

He borrowed the third-level defense formation, took out the top-grade spirit stone, used the third-level forbidden formation to break the ban, used the third-level thorns to block the forbidden holes, and killed the two-headed swallowing sky python in the process of cleaning the cave.

Every step here depends on him.

It can be said that without Zhang Xuan, it would be absolutely impossible to succeed.

However, there are few people in the temple street where Zhang Xuan is located, and he can't occupy too many caves.

"Then I will choose the cave of the two-headed swallowing sky python's nest." Zhang Xuan said.

The nest of the two-headed swallowing sky python is the largest of the three hundred caves, with a length and width of dozens of miles.

The area of ​​this cave alone is equal to the area of ​​the other 30 caves combined.

In addition, there is a huge spiritual lake in this cave, with an unformed spiritual vein, rich spiritual energy, and abundant spiritual fish and shrimp.

It can be said to be the best cave.

Everyone is convinced and agrees with Zhang Xuan's choice.

And Zhang Xuan occupies fewer caves, leaving more caves for other elders and strong branches to live in. Everyone is very grateful for Zhang Xuan's choice.

After settling the 300 people in Temple Street, the foundation builders teleported away.

When leaving, Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered that his third-level thorn shelter was still outside the Eight Hundred Linked Caves.

"This shelter is on the edge of the Fairy Cat Cave Secret Realm, and it is also a good place to live. It can be used as a backup for the cave."

Zhang Xuan plans to build a small teleportation array between the third-level thorn shelter and the Spirit Lake Shelter.

In case of an accident in the cave, these fire seed monks can also be teleported to the third-level thorn shelter in time.

Among the monks transferred this time is Zhang Sandou.

Zhang Sandou is now at the fifth level of Qi Refining and has reached the middle stage of Qi Refining. In theory, he should not be among this batch of fire seeds.

However, Zhang Xuan took into account that the eldest son of Uncle Sanqian had died, and the second son was stationed in the third-level demon bear shelter.

The third son must not have any more accidents.

So he used the privileges of the temple master to transfer Zhang Sandou here.

Of course, another important reason for him to do this was that this batch of cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining lacked combat experience and needed a person with outstanding strength to lead, so he arranged Zhang Sandou to come.

Of course, Zhang Sandou was not very happy to be arranged here.

He felt that the temple master looked down on him.

Zhang Xuan enlightened him, and Zhang Sandou's depressed mood was relieved.

Zhang Xuan handed a flag of the small teleportation array to Zhang Sandou.

He planned to take the other flag to the third-level thorn shelter in person.

Once the Linghu Shelter was in trouble, he could use the flag to teleport directly to the third-level thorn shelter.
