Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"How is it, Senior Brother Hou? Is there anything unusual about that pit?" Lu Dingyi inserted the five long spears into the formation barrier, took a breath, and asked with a slightly nervous expression.

Hou Nanpeng was silent for a few breaths before saying, "There's nothing unusual at the moment. I just don't know if breaking this grand formation will trigger any changes."

Lu Dingyi frowned and said, "Senior Brother Hou is worried that the pit is connected to the secret realm below?"

Hou Nanpeng nodded: "The Xuan Yuan Secret Realm must be connected to that pit. Back then, the Void Demon World was sucked into the outer void from within, which is why the current Xuan Yuan Secret Realm exists. That black pit is the mark left here after the Void Demon World disappeared. The two must be connected, but they are hidden very deeply and difficult to detect."

Lu Dingyi pointed below and asked, "Then, are we still breaking this grand formation?"

"Break it! Of course, we have to break it! Even if there are accidents, they will probably happen in the secret realm first. When that time comes, as long as we react quickly, we can escape," Hou Nanpeng said decisively.

Lu Dingyi shook his head: "Senior Brother Hou, that Zhang Yuanjing is also below. What if this person is lost? How will we explain it!"

Hou Nanpeng gave a wry smile and said, "How could I not have thought of this? But even if we capture this person, what can we do! The Flying Token is probably not on him anyway."

Lu Dingyi said anxiously, "But at least we can give an explanation to the Supreme!"

Hou Nanpeng was silent for a moment, then sighed: "The Supreme is currently in seclusion, and everything is being handled by that one. Wasn't Du Fuming sent by him? Junior Brother, we don't have much time left. It's good if we can achieve merit, but don't force it if we can't. At the very least, don't end up like Senior Brother Ling, sacrificing yourself and implicating so many others to fall together."

Lu Dingyi's eyes turned cold, and a mocking expression appeared on his face: "Those people usually live in luxury, wherever they go they are surrounded by people who flatter them, thinking that attacking the Xuan Tian Sect is as easy as turning their hands, and they point fingers at every turn. Then, just let them come!"

Hou Nanpeng waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Although we didn't get the Flying Token, we have occupied the Heavenly Demon Abyss after all. According to the Supreme's previous instructions, as long as we manage the Heavenly Demon Abyss well, we will always have a share of the hard work, and no one can take it away!"

He paused slightly and said to Qin Guangzhi, who had been silent all along, "Junior Brother Qin, take action too. Break the grand formation as soon as possible and go down to capture people."

Qin Guangzhi responded, and immediately sacrificed two scimitars. With a wave of his hand, the two knives transformed into two rotating shadows, slashing at the formation barrier.

Compared to the five long spears, the commotion caused by these two knives was much smaller.

However, since Qin Guangzhi was a demonic cultivator, his mana was refined from turbid energy. As soon as the two knife shadows came into contact with the grand formation, they emitted a "crackling" sound. The turbid energy clashed fiercely with the spiritual energy, and the formation's power was quickly削去a layer.

The Xuan Yuan Hall's grand formation suddenly encountered this danger and immediately mobilized its formation power on its own, filling the weak points.

As a result, the defense against the five long spears weakened somewhat. The speed at which the five spears penetrated gradually increased.

Hou Nanpeng seemed oblivious to the movements in front of him, only vigilantly watching the direction of the black pit, occasionally looking around, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After more than half a day, suddenly a soft "bang" was heard, as if something had been broken open.

Hou Nanpeng lowered his head and saw that among the five long spears, the one in the center had completely penetrated the formation barrier and rushed into the space below.

Immediately, the remaining four spears also pierced through the grand formation one after another.

Five huge holes, emitting orange-yellow light on the formation barrier, continuously spread, and soon connected into one piece, turning into a gap of about ten and a half feet in size.

Hou Nanpeng said: "Junior Brother Lu, you stay here to guard, don't let the grand formation repair itself, and also guard against Tong Tianfu from attacking. Junior Brother Qin, let's go in and capture people!"

Lu Dingyi hurriedly said: "Senior Brother, please wait. The area below is too calm. I don't know if Tong Tianfu is lying in ambush inside, suddenly attacking!"

"Tong Tianfu is a meticulous planner, and wouldn't resort to such a risky move. In this kind of closed place, if we surround him, even if he has the Heavenly Thunder Halberd in his hand, he can only injure one person at most, but he will have to leave his life behind!"

Hou Nanpeng smiled, concentrated his divine sense to carefully examine all the houses in the Xuan Yuan Hall, and couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise: "Everyone is gone. It seems they have all hidden into the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm. No wonder it's so quiet. This Zhang Yuanjing is a decisive person!"

Lu Dingyi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this: "If there are changes in the secret realm, searching it might be a little dangerous!"

Hou Nanpeng pondered and said: "Junior Brother Lu, maintain the grand formation here and don't cause any more damage. As long as there are no major changes in spiritual energy, that black pit shouldn't undergo any changes."

Then he said to Qin Guangzhi: "Junior Brother Qin, let's go directly to the secret realm to find people."

He flew into the gap in the grand formation and went to a pavilion behind the Xuan Yuan Hall. Upon entering the pavilion, there was a tunnel that sloped downwards, directly to the bottom of the lake.

The two moved extremely quickly and soon reached the end of the tunnel, which was a ball of blue light, like flowing water.

Hou Nanpeng stopped in front of the water waves, took out a jade seal from his Sumeru Ring, suspended it above his head, turned his head and said to Qin Guangzhi: "To prevent accidents, Junior Brother Qin, also prepare your defensive spiritual treasures."

Qin Guangzhi was stunned, a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. He flipped his hand and took out something that looked like a black mud block.

Hou Nanpeng took a step forward and passed through the blue light. In just an instant, without any discomfort, he entered another space.

His first action was not to look at the world in front of him, but to activate the jade seal, turning it into a ball of white light, sealing the top of his head.

After that, he looked forward.

Under the gray sky were vast plains and continuous mountains, with trees, grass, flowers, vines, tigers, leopards, rabbits, and foxes. The spiritual energy was very rich, but it seemed a little oppressive.

Looking further into the distance, it revealed unusual dangers. There were dark clouds pressing down, flames soaring into the sky, or misty rain, and one could also hear the sound of mountains collapsing and strong winds sweeping.

Qin Guangzhi stood behind him and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Hou, the space here is a bit abnormal. It seems that the news the disciples in the abyss heard is not accurate."

Hou Nanpeng shook his head and said: "Perhaps it was affected by breaking the formation. The Xuan Yuan Hall's protective grand formation is connected to the secret realm. Just now, it was forcibly attacked by Junior Brother Lu's Five Tyrant Flying Dragon Spears, I'm afraid it has triggered changes in the secret realm. Let me ask Junior Brother Lu how the situation is outside."

He took out the sound transmission jade and sent a message. After a few breaths, he received a response.

After listening, he smiled and said: "The black pit has not changed, so it seems that the sealing formation we established is still working. Junior Brother Qin, have you discovered which direction the Xuan Tian Sect cultivators went?"

Qin Guangzhi pointed to several mountains in the front right and said, "If I haven't misjudged the aura, there are nearly two hundred people, all heading to the land behind those mountains. The time won't exceed two hours."

Hou Nanpeng sneered: "This person is quite clever. As soon as he saw that the grand formation could not be defended, he led the people into this place. However, where can he hide in a mere low-level secret realm!"
