Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#28 - Chapter 28 Four Bears
Back in the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, Xiao Yousong said he was going to report to the Grand Elder and disappeared for more than ten days.
During this time, only Cheng Shuangfeng, along with two Qi Refining disciples, accompanied Zhang Yuanjing on tours of the scenic spots of Jade Emperor Mountain, hosting a lavish banquet every three days, bringing out all kinds of mountain delicacies and spiritual objects from Xue Wang Mountain as if they were free, for him to enjoy.
Zhang Yuanjing had actually thought it through. Since even Core Formation cultivators couldn't delve deep, why should he be so persistent, making things difficult for the Ten Thousand Laws Sect?
It would be better, as Senior Brother Yuan Cang said, to wait here for two or three years. If Junior Brother Yuanxi still didn't return, he would report to the sect that he had 'fallen in a dangerous place,' which would be considered completing the mission.
Therefore, Cheng Shuangfeng didn't mention it, and he didn't urge him, putting on an attitude of 'since I'm here, I'll stay,' focusing on enjoying the food and appreciating the scenery.
On the morning of the seventeenth day, Xiao Yousong, who looked rough but was shrewd inside, finally appeared.
He knocked on the door of Zhang Yuanjing's bedroom, and said with a face full of smiles, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, have you been comfortable these days in my Ten Thousand Laws Sect? Are you satisfied with Junior Brother Shuangfeng's hospitality? I've been busy with urgent matters in the sect, and only now have I had time to see you. Please forgive me!"
Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "It's okay. Sect Leader Xiao is in charge of a sect with tens of thousands of disciples. Not to mention urgent matters, even ordinary things must be overwhelming! You should be busy with what you need to be busy with. I'm doing well here, with Fellow Daoist Cheng leading me to tour Jade Emperor Mountain. It's very pleasant!"
"That's good, that's good! It's good that Fellow Daoist Zhang is satisfied!"
Xiao Yousong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a look of relief on his face, and then said seriously, "I must also inform you that after we parted that day, I immediately reported the matter of you investigating the location of your sect's Wang Yuanxi to the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder didn't reply immediately, but said he was going to take a look in the mountains."
"A few days later, the Grand Elder returned. He told me that the gray fog in Xue Wang Mountain had indeed changed, and the confusing effect was stronger. With his strength, he could only go about two thousand miles deep, and he couldn't go any further. The Grand Elder also said that your sect sent Fellow Daoist Zhang here to find out about Wang Yuanxi's situation, whether he was alive or dead, and if he was dead, why he died."
"He suggested that you might as well go to the edge of Xue Wang Mountain from time to time to test it with the Truth-Seeking Disc. If, after half a year or a year, Wang Daoyou's position remains unchanged, then it can be basically determined that he has fallen. In this way, when you report to the sect, you will have solid evidence, and you can naturally complete the task smoothly. What do you think of this method?"
Zhang Yuanjing originally thought that Xiao Yousong would try to deceive him with empty words, and he was prepared to go along with it and let the matter drop. He didn't expect this person to be so clever, actually coming up with such a way to deal with it. Of course, it might really be the Grand Elder's idea.
But, in any case, it showed that they were really attentive, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He immediately nodded and said, "This method is very good. I will start to implement it tomorrow. However, this will require me to bother your sect for a long time!"
"It's okay, it's okay! It's an honor for my sect to have Fellow Daoist Zhang stay in my sect for a long time. How can it be considered bothering us!" Xiao Yousong immediately put on a flattering smile.
Zhang Yuanjing suddenly felt that this kind of Xiao Yousong actually looked quite pleasing to the eye.
After that, Zhang Yuanjing went to the edge of Xue Wang Mountain every ten days, looking at the valley where Wang Yuanxi disappeared from afar, and using the Truth-Seeking Disc for a test. After half a year, after nearly twenty tests, the results remained unchanged.
At this time, he was already sure that Wang Yuanxi must have fallen there, but he didn't know why his body was well preserved and could always be captured by the Truth-Seeking Disc.
The rest of the time, in addition to dealing with the enthusiastic hospitality of Xiao Yousong and others from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, he used the Nine-Leaf Yellow Dawn Grass to practice his Kung Fu. The Thick Earth Nourishing Qi Technique quickly reached the eighth level, reaching the highest level that could be cultivated in the current realm. At the same time, he also cultivated the seven-leaf Yellow Dawn Grass into nine leaves.
He calculated that he had been out for two years, so he used the Ten Thousand Laws Sect's sound transmission formation to send a message to the Palm Profound Hall, briefly reporting the results of the investigation into Wang Yuanxi's disappearance. The reply from the Palm Profound Hall was to continue testing!
Obviously, this was Lin Yuancang telling him not to rush back to the mountain.
So, Zhang Yuanjing continued to stay on Jade Emperor Mountain, with a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every ten days, eating until his mouth was full of oil and his cultivation greatly increased.
On the Xue Wang Mountain side, he changed it to a monthly test, just to make a show.
After another half a year, the Palm Profound Hall suddenly sent an instruction through the Ten Thousand Laws Sect's sound transmission formation: after confirming Wang Yuanxi's situation, return to the mountain gate as soon as possible to report.
This instruction was a bit inexplicable, and it was obviously contradictory to the previous instructions. Zhang Yuanjing didn't know why, and it was inconvenient to ask through the Ten Thousand Laws Sect's sound transmission formation, so he bid farewell to Xiao Yousong and prepared to return to Tianque Mountain immediately.
Xiao Yousong smiled and said, "Don't rush, don't rush! Your sect's Palm Profound Hall said to return to the mountain to report after confirming Wang Daoyou's situation, but it didn't tell you to return immediately. Stay for a few more days, and it won't be too late to leave when you're really urged!"
Zhang Yuanjing had been eating, drinking, and living for free in the Ten Thousand Laws Sect for a year, so he was embarrassed to stay any longer and insisted on leaving.
Xiao Yousong also said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, half a year later, it will be my Ten Thousand Laws Sect's once-in-twenty-years sect competition. At that time, there will be about dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators from different cultivation schools and hundreds of Qi Refining disciples from different schools competing in the form of a ring. At the same time, it will also be an internal exchange for mutual reference."
"Most of these cultivation methods are crude and low-grade, so they definitely won't catch your eye, but they have the advantage of being numerous and having their own characteristics. It's still good to take a look. Why don't you watch it before you leave!"
In this way, Zhang Yuanjing was left behind by Xiao Yousong again and continued to stay in the Ten Thousand Laws Sect.
In the following months, Jade Emperor Mountain obviously became lively. Every day, dozens or even hundreds of cultivators flew into the mountain from all directions on various flying swords.
The Ten Thousand Laws Sect has always opened its doors to accept people, regardless of their wisdom or foolishness, regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, from the three religions and nine streams, and from unorthodox sects. Therefore, there are many disciples, several times more than the Xuantian Sect, which is among the top ten sects in the Southern Region.
A month before the start of the competition, the mountain was even more lively. Every day, there were endless streams of cultivators going to the Myriad Manifestations Peak and the Myriad Laws Hall to handle affairs and to the Myriad Laws Building to borrow and return secrets, turning a place of quiet cultivation into a bustling city like the secular world.
Zhang Yuanjing was overwhelmed by the noise. Under Xiao Yousong's arrangement, he moved out of the Wanbin Building and lived in a separate courtyard near Xue Wang Mountain. Because all the Foundation Establishment deacons were busy with the competition, Xiao Yousong only arranged for two Qi Refining disciples to serve him.
This place is on the easternmost side of Jade Emperor Mountain, and it has always been a place for Ten Thousand Laws Sect disciples to rest and replenish supplies before heading to Xue Wang Mountain. In the past, this place was also crowded and noisy. But these days, because the sect competition was imminent, it became deserted.
Only some Qi Refining cultivators who were not interested in the competition were still stationed here, preparing to find their fellow cultivators and try their luck together in Xue Wang Mountain.
Zhang Yuanjing occasionally went to Xue Wang Mountain to take a walk in addition to meditating and practicing his skills every day. He didn't want the two Qi Refining disciples to accompany him. He just flew around on his flying sword and came back. The scene of the gray fog actively chasing him that day left him with lingering fears, so he didn't dare to go deep into the mountain.
This day, he finished his exercises and walked out of his bedroom, crossed the courtyard, and pushed open the gate of the separate courtyard, running into four cultivators head-on.
"Brother, you've worked hard for decades and finally advanced to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Why don't you want to participate in this competition? I heard that the rewards are generous. The winner can get three bottles of high-grade Spirit Gathering Powder and a high-grade spiritual weapon! Twenty years ago, that Willow Demon Woman only won half a move against you by relying on her higher realm. This time, if you take her down, won't you..."
A short, fat cultivator was talking excitedly, his voice rough and his saliva flying everywhere. When he saw Zhang Yuanjing, he stopped abruptly and froze in place.
Zhang Yuanjing glanced at them. These four were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, one tall and three short, and they all looked generally rough and fierce. The voice of the short, fat cultivator who was speaking sounded a little familiar. However, in a hurry, he didn't investigate it carefully.
Just as the four were stunned, he nodded as a greeting, brushed past them, and went straight in the direction of Xue Wang Mountain.
After Zhang Yuanjing walked away, the short, fat cultivator who had spoken halfway said stutteringly, "Boss, that, that person, is, is the Foundation Establishment cultivator who escaped from the soil in that mountain!"
Another short, fat cultivator also said, "I also think he looks a bit like him, but I'm not sure if it's him. Third, are you sure? Don't get it wrong! Since this person has appeared here, he's probably a cultivator from the sect. However, he looks a bit unfamiliar. I haven't seen him much."
The tall cultivator shook his head and said in a shrill voice, "No. There are three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect, and there's no such person. Unless he's a recent addition."
The third short, fat cultivator, who had been silent all along, said in a low voice, "Boss, you guys follow him and see where he's going. I'll go ask someone to see what this person's background is."
The tall cultivator hummed, looked up and scanned the courtyard. In the huge courtyard, only a few Qi Refining cultivators were gathered in a corner chatting idly. He nodded towards the courtyard, signaling the third short, fat cultivator to inquire about the situation.
He also told the other two short, fat cultivators to follow him out of the courtyard gate and into a dense forest outside the courtyard.
"Third, you go and take a look first. Your eyesight is good and your hearing is strong. Go and confirm if it's that person. Remember to follow from a distance, don't let him notice!"
"Third" had a fierce look in his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't let him run away this time!"
After saying that, he trotted away, summoned his flying sword, and hurried towards the direction Zhang Yuanjing had left.
After a cup of tea, the third short, fat cultivator returned and said in a low voice, "Boss, that person is a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xuantian Sect, named Zhang Yuanjing. He seems to be a confidant of Wu Yuankui! We, we, are we still going to do it? Maybe he's not that person!"
Another short, fat cultivator exclaimed in a low voice and asked in a dry voice, "Fourth, are you sure you're not mistaken? How did he get involved with the Xuantian Sect's sect leader!"
They were all Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, so they naturally knew the weight of the words "Xuantian Sect" in the sect. It could be said that if they dared to show even a hint of disrespect to the upper sect, they would immediately be removed from the sect, and might even be killed by the Core Formation elders to feed the spirit beasts.
A look of solemnity also appeared on the tall cultivator's face. He pondered for a long time, his expression changing uncertainly. Finally, a fierce look flashed in his eyes:
"No matter what his background is, since he got that thing, we can't let him go! Let's go, let this so-called upper sect cultivator see the power of our Cloud Four Bears!"
