Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Three days passed, and Zhang Yuanjing finally confirmed that his opponent intended to fight a war of attrition. He couldn't help but smile wryly at himself; the formation he had spent half a day setting up was completely ignored.

Thinking about it now, he realized that his initial plan was somewhat wishful thinking. A Core Formation cultivator in his prime would naturally hold firm in his cave. How could a few Foundation Establishment cultivators in the middle and late stages dare to attack forcefully? Perhaps they could eventually win, but the attackers would inevitably suffer some losses. Who would be willing to be the stepping stone?

In fact, now that he had identified the enemy and found the tracking mark, he could have simply relied on his Earth Evasion technique to escape.

However, the key issue was whether a Core Formation cultivator was following them. If Pei Yunxiu's master, Immortal Fire Phoenix, was also nearby, he wouldn't be able to go to You Tu Mountain even if he escaped Yu Mountain Marsh. He didn't want to give up on finding the rare earth unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, he could also wait here, and everything would be fine as long as Ape Thirteen woke up.

However, time was the biggest problem. The time for Ape Thirteen to wake up was uncertain. If he wasted too much time and it didn't wake up, then forget about obtaining the rare earth, he wouldn't even make it to the Immortal City in time.

He decided to take the initiative and test the waters.

On the fourth day, he refined away the tracking mark in the scale armor, put it into his storage bag, and then burrowed into the ground, hiding and waiting for the seven to arrive. At the same time, he took out the Profound Crystal Axe and began to pour in mana, accumulating energy.

The moment the tracking mark disappeared, Deng Yunfei immediately noticed. "Daoist Zhang has broken the tracking mark!"

His voice wasn't loud, but all the cultivators in the neighboring caves heard him clearly. Several figures flashed out, following Deng Yunfei, who had already darted out half a mile, towards Zhang Yuanjing's cave.

Still several miles away, the divine senses of the four late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators had already penetrated the simple formation, scanning the cave dozens of times.

"He's gone?"

"There's no sign of anyone hiding!"

"It doesn't look like there are any other hidden formations either!"

"Could he have escaped in another direction?"

Deng Yunfei immediately shook his head in denial: "Impossible. If he traveled through the mountains, it would have attracted the attention of the demon beasts."

The others looked to the sky, but there was no unusual activity.

"Should we search the cave?" Jiang Yongqian's eyes turned to the two rogue cultivators.

Xu Shijian and Long Yuantu ignored him.

"Could it be a lure?" Tong Zhigang quickly interjected.

Deng Yunfei nodded quickly: "It's a bit strange. If Daoist Zhang could hide and leave, he could have simply abandoned the scale armor and left silently, without making such a move. He shouldn't be lacking such a mid-grade spiritual artifact."

"It could also be a feint!" Pei Yunxiu sneered, pointing at Jiang Yongqian with her jade-like finger. "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you and I will go and investigate!"

Jiang Yongqian nodded proudly, glancing disdainfully at Xu Shijian and Long Yuantu.

A fierce glint flashed in Xu Shijian's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Long Yuantu chuckled and turned to Deng Yunfei, saying, "If Daoist Zhang is hiding somewhere, the first to be attacked might be us. We can't be careless!"

Deng Yunfei was stunned, then immediately nodded, taking out a yellow spiritual talisman from his hand.

Tong Zhigang hesitated for a moment, then also took out his mid-grade spiritual artifact, the Kaiyang Sword, and looked around vigilantly.

Only Guo Yunfei wore an arrogant expression, not taking Long Yuantu's words to heart.

The five stopped thirty feet away from Zhang Yuanjing's cave.

Pei Yunxiu and Jiang Yongqian didn't stop, each summoning a high-grade flying sword, one fiery red and the other silver-white, and struck directly at the simple formation outside the cave. With a few "crackling" sounds, the formation dissipated, revealing a half-丈 high doorway. The two swords shot out red and white rays of light, instantly shattering the one-尺 thick stone door, then shot into the ground of the cave, stirring up a pile of gravel.

"Is there really no one here?" A hint of surprise appeared on Jiang Yongqian's cold face.

Pei Yunxiu rotated her flying sword, firelight radiating everywhere, burning the stone chamber, which was only three 丈 square, until it was filled with black smoke. The stone walls cracked with fine lines under the intense heat.

At this time, the two were still ten 丈 away.

"Go in?" Jiang Yongqian asked.

"You stay here, I'll go!" Pei Yunxiu was fearless, driving her sword forward.

Jiang Yongqian's eyes flickered slightly, then his flying sword accelerated, following closely behind.

Now that the opportunity had arisen, Zhang Yuanjing didn't care that the Profound Crystal Axe hadn't finished accumulating power. He immediately cast a spell into the formation plate, and then five streams of spiritual power connected, and a large formation, covering a ten-丈 radius and filled with white mist, emerged, trapping Pei Yunxiu and Jiang Yongqian inside.

Pei Yunxiu and Jiang Yongqian had profound cultivation and powerful combat strength. When they suddenly encountered danger, they remained calm and composed, without any panic. Each chose a weak direction and attacked with all their strength.

This Reverse Five Elements Locking Yuan Formation was not strong because it had no formation base as its foundation. However, Zhang Yuanjing used mid-grade spiritual stones, and the formation started extremely quickly. Although the two had keen eyes and found the key points, their attacks were not enough to block the connection between the formation plate and the formation flags. After a few breaths, the formation power flowed smoothly. Unless it suffered continuous and violent bombardment, or the spiritual stones were exhausted, the formation would not stop.

"Danger, stand your ground, don't move!" Long Yuantu shouted at the top of his lungs when he saw the large formation rise. At the same time, a white bone thorn appeared in his hand, the tip of the thorn flashing with a ghostly blue light, which was quite strange.

Pei Yunxiu and Jiang Yongqian were from two different groups, and they were not related, so naturally they had no interest in rescuing them. Deng Yunfei subconsciously moved closer to the two when he heard this. Guo Yunfei and Tong Zhigang, however, raised their flying swords and rushed towards the formation.

Long Yuantu said angrily: "Idiots! Can you two break the formation!"

However, the following was calm. Guo Yunfei and Tong Zhigang successfully swept to the front of the formation, communicating with the people inside while bombarding the formation from the outside with their spiritual artifacts.

Long Yuantu was puzzled. He raised his eyes and saw Deng Yunfei beside him. He suddenly felt uneasy and immediately took out a low-grade, mid-grade Vajra Talisman.

Deng Yunfei was terrified by his gaze. He didn't understand what his strange glance meant. Just as he was about to ask a question, a giant axe suddenly emerged from under his left foot, slashing upwards diagonally, instantly cutting him into three pieces. Then, with a spin, it slashed at Xu Shijian below.

Long Yuantu roared and retreated a few steps, activating the Vajra Talisman in his hand at the same time. A layer of golden light covered his body, and the ghostly blue gas had already spewed out from the long thorn in his hand, shrouding the place where the giant axe flew out.

Xu Shijian reacted just as quickly. With a flip of his right hand, he sacrificed a three-inch copper token to meet the giant axe that was slashing towards him. At the same time, his left hand threw a low-grade, mid-grade stone wall talisman, following closely behind the copper token.

The ghostly blue gas released by Long Yuantu's white bone thorn was very strange. It was not only cold and pressing, but also faintly revealed a poisonous aura. Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense detected it and immediately teleported behind Xu Shijian, rushing out of the ground at the same time. He also hid the Yin Wind Saber in the air. The ghostly blue gas, when it touched the ground, instantly condensed into a pale white fire, burning the soil and rocks with a sizzling sound.

At this time, the copper token sacrificed by Xu Shijian turned into a yellow net, trying to catch the Profound Crystal Axe. However, the giant axe, after Zhang Yuanjing's accumulation of power, had reached its limit, and it was by no means something that ordinary defensive spiritual artifacts could resist.

With two "嚓嚓" sounds, the copper net cracked, and the giant axe smashed into the earth wall built with spiritual power, making a loud "boom". The giant axe flew backwards, spinning rapidly in the air, turning its head and slashing towards Long Yuantu.

Seeing that the giant axe was very powerful, Long Yuantu didn't dare to resist it head-on. He immediately dodged, waved his hand and cast a few spells into the white bone thorn. The long thorn trembled for a while, and suddenly emitted a ghostly blue light, shooting directly at Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing frowned slightly, and did not dare to confront this light head-on. He activated the Divine Travel Boots under his feet and moved more than ten 丈 away, avoiding the first strike of the ghostly blue light. However, before he could make a move, the light suddenly turned and attacked him again.

At this time, the giant axe that Long Yuantu had dodged circled out and slashed at Xu Shijian again. After several rotations, the giant axe became even more powerful, and its speed was more than 30% faster. Xu Shijian was secretly startled, waved his hand and sacrificed a long ruler, which was green all over and glowing, and several vines rushed out from it, entangling the giant axe. At the same time, he used the escape technique and swept towards Long Yuantu's side. He was still uneasy and threw out another low-grade, mid-grade stone wall talisman, blocking it behind him.

The giant axe roared, and the sharp axe blade easily cut off the vines, chasing Xu Shijian like a gust of wind, hitting the stone wall talisman behind him. There was only a loud "bang", the stone wall trembled violently, and then turned into nothing.

Xu Shijian was momentarily distracted by this, and his feet gained some strength. His mind quickly calculated what else he had in his storage bag that could block this axe.

At this time, Guo Yunfei and Tong Zhigang, who were attacking the formation, came to help. Two flying swords struck directly at Zhang Yuanjing's head and neck.

These two hesitated slightly when Zhang Yuanjing suddenly attacked, before turning their heads to attack Zhang Yuanjing.

These two swords, one yang and one yin, one like a fire phoenix and the other like starlight, one fierce and the other swift, were quite extraordinary. They arrived at the same time as the ghostly blue light emitted by Long Yuantu's bone thorn, making it a little difficult for Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing pointed his finger at the hidden Yin Wind Saber. The saber was the first to move, flying out like lightning, beheading Xu Shijian, who was mentally unstable, with one strike. Then he waved the Soul Binding Hoe, knocked away the faster Starlight Sword, and then dug back, binding the Fire Phoenix Sword. He condensed the power of the thick earth in his left hand and stroked the desperately struggling Fire Phoenix, revealing the original shape of a two-尺 three-寸 bright red flying sword, and immediately put it into his storage bag.

At the same time, the ghostly blue light hit Zhang Yuanjing's chest, creating a few clusters of pale white flames on his Taoist robe, immediately burning the blue Taoist robe he was wearing on the outside into ashes, and a nauseating stench filled his body.

Zhang Yuanjing held his breath, stirred up his mana, and protected his whole body, while controlling the Profound Crystal Axe to chase and kill Long Yuantu, ignoring the white fire on his body.

Xu Shijian's short and shrill scream at the moment of his death startled the three.

Originally, Long Yuantu was overjoyed when he saw the enemy in the white fire, burning fiercely. He thought he could destroy this great enemy and get the treasure alone. Who knew that after burning a Taoist robe, the fire burned in vain, but it could not hurt Zhang Yuanjing at all. He was immediately disappointed and had the intention of retreating. Then he saw that Xu Shijian, who was only stronger than himself, was beheaded, and a 丈-long axe was killing him, and its power was amazing. Where could he hold on? He immediately took out a cyan talisman and slapped it on his body, speeding up and fleeing back the way he came.

"Low-grade, low-grade Wind Control Talisman!"

Zhang Yuanjing glanced at his somewhat bloated and embarrassed figure, muttered a sentence, and couldn't help but shake his head. At this time, the golden light on this person was still there, and the Yin Wind Saber could not do anything to him, and the Profound Crystal Axe could not catch up, so he could only let him escape.

So he cast a spell, and the Yin Wind Saber slashed at Guo Yunfei, while the Profound Crystal Axe slashed at Tong Zhigang.

At this point, the situation was completely under his control, so there was no need to worry. The Reverse Five Elements Locking Yuan Formation on the other side, even if it was continuously bombarded by two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, would have no problem maintaining it for half an hour. And the Core Formation cultivator that he had always worried about had not yet appeared.

Tong Zhigang, the Kaiyang Sword, is worthy of being a sword cultivator. Even in the face of the Profound Crystal Axe's fierce attack, he also raised his flying sword to fight. However, the Seven Stars Cave's sword technique is derived from the changes of the stars, so it is biased towards yin and softness, and is good at detours. Frontal combat is not its forte.

Tong Zhigang did not fail to understand this principle, but Zhang Yuanjing's strength was too much stronger than him, and the Profound Crystal Axe was also taking the path of one force reducing ten meetings. His tricks to stop the enemy and disturb the enemy were useless at all. He could only resist hard to slightly resolve the crisis and linger on.

Guo Yunfei was a disciple of a Core Formation cultivator, and she had a lot of spiritual talismans. Two consecutive low-grade, mid-grade Vajra Talismans protected her body, allowing the Yin Wind Saber to return without success. She was very arrogant, and Zhang Yuanjing took away her handy spiritual artifact. Where would she be willing to give up? She immediately threw low-priced, mid-grade attack talismans, such as Golden Sword Talismans, Flame Explosion Talismans, and Stone Bullet Talismans, at him one after another, making Zhang Yuanjing rush around for a while.

Fortunately, his divine sense was strong enough. While dodging the power of the spiritual talismans, he steadily controlled the Profound Crystal Axe and the Profound Yin Saber to force the two of them back, not giving them a chance to breathe and escape.

After five breaths, Tong Zhigang saw that he was no match for him, took out a low-grade, mid-grade Vajra Talisman and slapped it on his body, and wanted to escape with his sword. The Profound Crystal Axe caught up and smashed the golden light on his body with one axe. The remaining power was not exhausted, and he was knocked to the ground. He hurriedly got up, took out another Vajra Talisman to defend himself, and at the same time, the sword light leaped up and rose into the sky.

Zhang Yuanjing smiled coldly, cast a spell and pointed at the Profound Crystal Axe, driving it to slash again. At the same time, the Yin Wind Saber also quietly followed.

Tong Zhigang did not dare to resist the rapidly approaching Profound Crystal Axe head-on, twisted his flying sword, and dodged in embarrassment. The Profound Crystal Axe had accumulated a lot of potential energy after several attacks, but the speed of rotation and attack was not slow. It quickly changed direction and slashed again. Tong Zhigang could only try his best to dodge, but he did not dare to fly away with his sword under the entanglement of the giant axe.

At this time, Guo Yunfei finally knew that she was afraid, used the third low-grade, mid-grade Vajra Talisman, and then used her master's unique skill, the Nirvana Fire Escape Technique, to try to run away. However, the magic formula required for this escape technique was too many, and her soul was a little weaker, so it was very slow to use. Where could Zhang Yuanjing let her escape? He immediately waved his hand and threw out the Dragon Binding Vine, directly tying her up and capturing her alive.

In mid-air, Tong Zhigang was hit again after dodging the giant axe three times, the golden light on his body dissipated, and his body fell down like a kite with a broken string. Before he could use the spiritual talisman again, the long-awaited Yin Wind Saber showed a ferocious face and killed him with one blow.

Although he did not deliberately treat them differently, he was still merciful to the disciples of the Core Formation cultivators. Otherwise, if the Profound Crystal Axe flew out, how many axes could Guo Yunfei's low-grade, mid-grade Vajra Talisman resist!

He picked up the storage bags of Xu Shijian, Deng Yunfei, and Tong Zhigang, and then ejected a few fireballs to burn the bodies of the three.

Looking through the storage bags of the three, Xu Shijian also had a high-grade spiritual artifact, which was also a green long ruler. It was a pair with the green ruler that generated long vines, which was quite extraordinary. Deng Yunfei also had three pounds of Yin Jue Sand that caught his eye. As for Tong Zhigang, this person was good at refining weapons. The storage bag was full of various magic weapons and spiritual weapon semi-finished products, a large number of materials for refining weapons, and some weapon refining secrets and notes.
