Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing also stood up and respectfully said, "Please ask, Martial Uncle."

Yu Tianwan glanced at Yu Yingfeng, who was seated at the lower position, smiled, and said, "It was also when Fellow Daoist Yingfeng returned that he told me about encountering a Core Formation cultivator from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons and being rescued by you. He mentioned that you seem to have a magical treasure that can forcefully capture strange insects. Is that so?"

Yu Yingfeng glanced at Zhang Yuanjing somewhat awkwardly, wanting to explain a couple of things, but he didn't know how to start.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't mind, nodded, and said, "This disciple does indeed have a magical treasure that can capture and imprison strange insects, but whether it is effective against all strange insects, this disciple is still unaware."

Yu Tianwan was overjoyed upon hearing this and said loudly, "As long as it can deal with strange insects, then it is a sharp weapon. Yuanjing, you don't know, in the past ten years or so, some Core Formation cultivators from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons have somehow raised one or two strange insects each, and when they are suddenly released, they are often impossible to defend against. These strange insects are very different from the usual demonic insects or spiritual insects. When they move, the spiritual energy fluctuations are very small, and they all have some unique talents. They are not the usual kind and are very difficult to deal with. This old Daoist has encountered them a few times and has a headache."

Zhang Yuanjing was stunned and asked, "Are these strange insects so powerful? Even you, Martial Uncle Yu, have no way to deal with them?"

Before Yu Tianwan could speak, Jin Tianwu couldn't help but interrupt, saying, "More than just powerful, they are simply a scourge. I ran into them once while on patrol. The other side had three Core Formation cultivators, all with a kind of strange insect. When they cooperated, there was no way to defend against them. If my escape technique wasn't good enough, I would have almost been done for."

After he said this, the other Core Formation cultivators also spoke up, stating directly that these strange insects were difficult to deal with.

Yu Tianwan waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop making noise, and then said to Zhang Yuanjing, "If it's a one-on-one fight, as long as you are careful, and run if you can't win, it's not a big deal. But if it's a multi-person battle, once the cultivators from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons release strange insects to hide and ambush, the battle situation will often deteriorate rapidly. Even if you want to escape, it depends on your methods and luck. Most of the dozen or so Core Formation Daoists who have fallen in recent years are related to this. To guard against these strange insects, the elders in the sect have racked their brains and put a lot of effort into talismans, arrays, and magical treasures, but the effect is not obvious. With strange insects as their support, the cultivators from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons have become more and more arrogant in recent years. On the contrary, our people have to be extra careful when patrolling outside. If something is wrong, they must immediately escape to avoid being entangled by the strange insects and unable to escape."

Since Zhang Yuanjing first saw the strange insects at Yin Tianfu's place, he only felt that they were very strange, but he didn't feel that they were so powerful.

At this time, seeing everyone, including Yu Tianwan, talking about the insects with fear, he couldn't help but become cautious. So he asked, "I wonder what Martial Uncle is preparing for this disciple to do?"

Yu Tianwan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I am preparing to gather all the Core Formation battle power of Flowing Cloud Immortal City and fight a battle with the Abyss of Heavenly Demons. At that time, the other side will definitely drive a large number of strange insects. Yuanjing will take the opportunity to destroy the insects, as many as you can. If we can remove the threat of the other side's strange insects, we may be able to take advantage of the situation and achieve a great victory."

Lu Tianying, who had been sitting quietly and listening, brightened his eyes, stood up, and praised loudly, "This idea is good. We should fight a battle with the Abyss of Heavenly Demons. Otherwise, if we are trapped in the city all day long, how can we defend this Flowing Cloud City!"

Most of the other Core Formation cultivators remained silent, carefully considering whether this plan was feasible.

Min Tianzhuo asked, "Senior Brother Yu, can you explain in more detail?"

Yu Tianwan nodded and said, "This is how I'm considering it. In a few days, let Junior Brother Lu go out, and Yuanjing will follow behind him, hidden in the earth. Junior Brother Lu will first find a lone cultivator from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons and fight him. Even if he can kill him, don't strike a fatal blow. Wait for the other side to call for reinforcements, and then we will send a few more people over, keeping the number and combat power comparable to the other side, waiting for the other side to continue to send troops. In this way, the scale of the battle will be expanded. At the beginning of the battle, if the other side releases strange insects, use talismans and magical treasures to resist them. Yuanjing, don't take action first. When the enemy increases and the strange insects are in groups, Yuanjing will take action with lightning speed, striving to capture and imprison as many strange insects as possible. In this way, if the other side is weak, we will take the opportunity to kill them. If the other side's morale is not diminished, we will gradually withdraw. No matter which one, as long as we kill a few more strange insects, this battle will be considered a success. With such a plan, I wonder if you all think it is feasible?"

Lu Tianying said first, "This plan is gradual and progressive. I think it is feasible!"

Jin Tianwu said, "Senior Brother Yu, such a great battle will definitely alarm the Nascent Soul True Monarchs. The other side has four True Monarchs. How do we defend against them?"

This question, of course, was not that Jin Tianwu had this question, but was asking on behalf of the cultivators of the lower sects.

Yu Tianwan smiled and said, "The purpose is to draw out the other side's Nascent Soul. If the four True Monarchs of the Abyss of Heavenly Demons arrive together, we don't need to do anything, and it will be considered a great achievement. This matter will be handled by True Monarch Tong. We only need to consider the battle at the Core Formation level."

He paused slightly, his expression straightened, and he continued, "Of course, if the True Monarchs insist on attacking us, then everyone can only rely on fate. Whoever dies, accepts their fate!"

These words were unpleasant to hear, but that was the reality. Everyone had nothing to complain about. Unless they didn't participate in this battle and hid far away, otherwise, as long as they stayed in this Flowing Cloud City, they could fall due to the True Monarch's actions.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

After a few breaths, Gu Tianxiao, with a round face and small eyes, said, "Senior Brother Yu, the foundation of your plan lies in Yuanjing's magical treasure being able to forcefully capture strange insects. If the magical treasure's effect is not good, this plan will not succeed. I am not saying that I don't believe in Fellow Daoist Yu, but the matter is of great importance and concerns the lives of everyone present, so we must be cautious."

Yu Tianwan nodded, "Junior Brother Gu's words are prudent. Yuanjing, can you test your magical treasure so that everyone can feel confident."

Zhang Yuanjing said, "The strange insect that was captured last time was refined by the magical treasure. If we want to test it, we need to find a cultivator from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons who has strange insects."

Lu Tianying laughed and said, "This is easy to handle. Just let Yuanjing go outside the city with me, first catch a strange insect back, and demonstrate it to everyone on the spot. Wouldn't that be fine!"

Yu Tianwan said, "That's the only way. But, if you can't ensure that you can take down the enemy, Yuanjing, don't take action, so as not to startle the snake."

Zhang Yuanjing wanted to ask if anyone knew about that Lin Huan, but when he thought about how many people were here and how some people were meticulous, he didn't know what they would deduce, so he dismissed the idea.

With all matters decided, Zhang Yuanjing first followed Yu Tianwan to the back hall and exchanged the broken flying sword spiritual treasure he obtained from the Xue Wang Divine Mausoleum for six volumes of notes from predecessors, all of which were profound insights into the three cultivation methods obtained by comprehending the Fire Crow Daoist.

As for the matter of going out to capture strange insects, although it was said to be simple during the meeting, a lot of preparations still needed to be made when it came to implementation.

Zhang Yuanjing, having nothing to do, first borrowed the sound transmission array in the City Lord's Mansion and sent a message to the Xuan Yuan Hall, stating that he would stay for a few more months to assist Flowing Cloud City in dealing with the cultivators from the Abyss of Heavenly Demons, and would return immediately after the enemy siege was lifted. Then, he found a few large commercial firms in the immortal city, sold some spiritual materials that he didn't need, and purchased the main and auxiliary materials for refining Gathering Spirit Powder, Bitter Yuan Pill, Beast King Pill, and other pills, as well as more than twenty mid-grade spiritual talismans.

On the third day, Lu Tianying sent him a sound transmission, asking him to immediately go to the south gate to meet him.
