Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#176 - Chapter 175 Heavy Obstacles (Happy Holidays to All Goddesses!)

“Senior, going to the Immortal City this time feels like jumping into a whirlpool. This junior doesn't have much lifespan left, so I must go to the Profound Yin Cave. However, senior needs to consider your disciples and shouldn't get involved. Moreover, with Brother Ape's protection, this junior can protect myself in the Immortal City. Please stop here, Senior!”

Zhang Yuanjing thought it over and over again, and finally decided to persuade Fire Crow Taoist to leave.

He took out a jade bottle and said, "This is three Middle-Grade Spirit Enhancement Pills, a thank you gift from this junior for escorting me all the way. Please accept it!"

Since he was a child, he was influenced by Qi Tianxiang and cared most about karma. Although he had many interactions with Fire Crow Taoist, it was only limited to transactions. If he implicated Fire Crow Taoist in the struggle of the six sects, or even caused his disciples to suffer, then this debt could not be cleared.

He had cultivated hard in Zhangjiawan for twenty years. Because he needed to catch Crimsonfin Firestripe Fish, he had to forge a deep karma with Zhang Xuan and his younger sister, and he already felt heavy. He really didn't want to bear more.

Fire Crow Taoist immediately shook his head, not even looking at the jade bottle, and said with a serious face: "The five sects have not yet reached the point of tearing their faces with the Star Moon Sect and fighting each other. Their Core Formation cultivators will not directly intercept and kill the Foundation Establishment cultivators who participate in collecting herbs in the Profound Yin Cave. In that case, this matter can only be carried out in secret.

"This old Taoist is a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. As long as I don't openly confront the five sects, they won't really involve me. No matter what, they have to worry about forcing this old Taoist to the Star Moon Sect, right? Since this old Taoist has agreed to escort you to the Immortal City, I can't give up halfway."

“Senior…”

Zhang Yuanjing was about to say something, but the red-faced Taoist turned his face away, wielded his sword in front, and said resolutely: "If anyone comes, no matter who it is, this old Taoist will deal with it alone. Brother Ape, just protect Yuanjing!"

Ape Thirteen "Awoo, awoo" a couple of times and hurriedly followed. It understood the conversation between the two people, seemingly understanding, seemingly not understanding, confused, but one thing was clear, that is, there were enemies blocking the way ahead, and there was a big fight to be fought, of course, it was blood boiling and extremely excited. As for Fire Crow Taoist asking it to only protect Zhang Yuanjing, and let him fight alone, it automatically ignored it.

After that, the journey went smoothly. The two people and one ape traveled 30,000 miles. Except for a dozen monsters that crossed the canyon, they didn't encounter anyone. The closer they got to the opening of the Profound Yin Cave, the more tense the situation in the Immortal City became. Unless they were in a great hurry, cultivators did not dare to pass through this canyon.

After traveling more than 10,000 miles, just as the canyon was about to end, three groups of escaping light suddenly flew out from a dense forest in front of them like lightning, heading straight towards them. Just looking at the momentum, they knew that they must be Core Formation cultivators.

Fire Crow Taoist sighed softly, knowing that although White Tiger Taoist didn't take action, he still passed the message out. This person obviously did not accept the goodwill he released.

The three Core Formation cultivators who came were at most in the middle stage. Naturally, they could not hurt him, Fire Crow Taoist. Their idea was just to have two people hold him back and one person kill Zhang Yuanjing. It seemed that the most important thing for the five sects was to kill the Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators who did not belong to their forces.

He couldn't help but wonder again: What exactly happened in the Profound Yin Cave?

While Fire Crow Taoist was thinking, the three groups of escaping light arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, stopping a hundred feet away from him, revealing three faces, two men and one woman.

The person in the middle was a middle-aged man in his forties, with deep-set eyes, as thin as wood, disheveled hair, and a sickly face. He was an old acquaintance of his, the old ancestor of the Azure Wood Sect among the two sects and six factions, Shao Fengyang, nicknamed "Sick Old Ancestor", whose cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of the Core Formation Middle Stage.

The old man on the left had a face full of ravines, filled with death, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, like torches in the night sky, and his cultivation was also in the middle stage of Core Formation.

The woman on the right was only in her early twenties, dressed as a female nun in the secular world, wearing a Dharma crown on her head, cloud shoes on her feet, wearing a yellow satin monk's robe, holding a horsetail whisk in her hand, dignified and beautiful, and her cultivation was at the early stage of Core Formation.

These two people were both unfamiliar faces, he had never seen them before.

"Fellow Taoist Fire Crow, congratulations on seeing through the illusions and going one step further, Nascent Soul is in sight!" Shao Fengyang came up and cupped his hands to congratulate him, and a smile that was no better than a funeral was squeezed out on his sickly face.

"Brother Shao, are you mocking me! What Nascent Soul is in sight, with this old Taoist's age, it's more like the grave is in sight." Fire Crow Taoist knew this person very well and knew that he was playing a game, so he replied with a smile.

Shao Fengyang's smile disappeared, he said "Brother Taoist is joking", and he didn't bother to beat around the bush. He pointed to Zhang Yuanjing behind Fire Crow Taoist and asked very seriously: "Is this junior your direct descendant?"

Fire Crow Taoist put away his hippie smile and said with a serious face: "Don't joke, brother, this poor Taoist only has an unpromising collateral descendant, where would I have any direct descendants. However, his relationship with this poor Taoist is indeed extraordinary!"

Shao Fengyang nodded, as if relieved, and then said: "If this is the case, as long as Taoist brother agrees to let him act according to the instructions of the five sects, Shao will personally beg Elder Lieyangzi to let him enter the city!"

Fire Crow Taoist said "Oh" and stared at the old man and woman on both sides of Shao Fengyang with his dark eyes, and said: "If this old Taoist doesn't agree, is brother Shao going to fight with this old Taoist!"

Shao Fengyang sighed: "If it was before, you and I would be evenly matched, and we could still say we were fighting. Now that Taoist brother has entered the late stage, this little brother can only reluctantly stop Taoist brother a little. However, you definitely can't protect this junior!"

Fire Crow Taoist raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Brother Shao is so confident? This old Taoist doesn't believe it!"

Shao Fengyang pointed at Ape Thirteen with some disdain and sneered: "Does Taoist brother think that this demon ape who only has a body of muscle can protect a Foundation Establishment cultivator under the siege of two Core Formation cultivators?"

Fire Crow Taoist smiled and did not answer. Instead, he pointed to the two people beside him and asked: "Brother Shao, these two fellow Taoists look very unfamiliar, why not introduce them first!"

Shao Fengyang frowned, glanced at him, seemingly puzzled by his stubbornness, and then pointed to the old man on the left and said, "This is Fellow Taoist Chen", and then pointed to the woman on the right and said, "This is Fellow Taoist Lin", and then stopped talking.

Fire Crow Taoist smiled and cupped his hands to greet them, but the two of them had indifferent expressions and no reaction. "These two look quite extraordinary, brother, why don't you introduce their origins?"

Shao Fengyang's eyes flickered and said in a deep voice: "Taoist brother, you don't need to test, they do have origins, but they are not cultivators of the five sects. However, it is definitely more than enough to deal with this demon ape. If you really care about this junior, why not let him join the Foundation Establishment cultivator team of the five sects. Could it be that Taoist brother has already joined the Star Moon Sect?"

Fire Crow Taoist shook his head: "This old Taoist does not belong to any side."

Shao Fengyang pondered for a moment and said: "If Taoist brother does not want to be involved with the five sects, then it is easy to handle. You hand this junior over to me, and I will go and explain to Elder Lieyangzi. Anyway, I will never reveal his origins. In this way, this matter has nothing to do with you. And he joins the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the five sects. Although he has obligations, he can also get the help of the group, and the probability of surviving the Profound Yin Cave is much higher."

Fire Crow Taoist had known Shao Fengyang for many years and knew that he could do what he said. However, he did not believe that the five major sects would treat Zhang Yuanjing kindly.

The so-called joining the Foundation Establishment cultivator team of the five sects and acting together in the Profound Yin Cave is just empty words. How could the five sects trust a rogue cultivator like Zhang Yuanjing who was not from the five sects? They would definitely impose restrictions and drive him arbitrarily. At that time, there would be no chance to survive, let alone the Enlightenment Spirit Pill.

Shao Fengyang thought that Zhang Yuanjing and his Fire Crow Taoist were just a bit related, and protecting him to enter the Profound Yin Cave smoothly would be considered fulfilling his wish. However, his plan was more than that! It's good to have these people blocking the way, which shows the importance of his escorting all the way.

"Yuanjing, ask Brother Ape, if this old Taoist is blocked by that Shao Fengyang, can it protect you completely under the attack of those two Core Formation cultivators?"

In front of the three people, Fire Crow Taoist's lips opened and closed, transmitting the sound to Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing's reply immediately came over: "Senior, this junior has discussed with Brother Ape. If you are trapped by that thin cultivator, it has the confidence to protect me completely. Senior, please do it!"

Fire Crow Taoist was already sure after hearing this. This was also within his expectations. First of all, Zhang Yuanjing is carrying heavy treasures, how could he be willing to be controlled by others, obviously he would never agree to Shao Fengyang's arrangement. Fortunately, he did not hesitate in this regard, otherwise he would have fallen behind.

Secondly, it is the strength of Ape Thirteen. He knew too well what Ape Thirteen's strength was. Even with his late-stage Core Formation strength, he would have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. Saying that it could not protect a Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of two early and middle Core Formation cultivators was purely a joke.

Of course, he should still remind him. Ape Thirteen is a grumpy and impulsive big monkey. What if he only cares about fighting happily and forgets his duty to protect him, then it would be dangerous!

Immediately, he transmitted the sound again: "You tell Brother Ape, no matter what happens to the other party, do not leave you within a three-meter radius. If the enemy releases large-scale attack spells, don't resist hard, step on the flying sword and take you to avoid them."

Zhang Yuanjing replied: "Senior, don't worry, this junior will remind Brother Ape from time to time!"

At this time, Shao Fengyang said loudly: "Taoist brother, how is your consideration? You and I have been friends for two hundred years, you don't know what kind of person I am. If you have any worries, just bring them up, and I will find a way to solve them. I always want to make Taoist brother satisfied!"

Fire Crow Taoist laughed loudly. The laughter was strong, with humor and sadness, like a sad song, moving people's hearts.

Shao Fengyang's expression changed when he heard it, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He shouted in a low voice: "Prepare to attack!"

The laughter stopped abruptly. Fire Crow Taoist stared at Shao Fengyang and said in a deep voice: "Since the paths are different, there will naturally be a day of separation. Let this old Taoist see your methods, Shao Fengyang!"
