Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Five million miles west of Tianque Mountain, a range of mountains stood like halberds, resembling a forest of spears piercing the sky.

A towering peak in the center stood out from the rest, rising above the sea of clouds and pointing straight towards the heavens. This peak was the renowned Huan Yue Mountain.

This mountain was imposing on all eight sides, with treacherous terrain all around. Birds and beasts were rarely seen, and only cultivators could ascend to its summit. At sunrise and when the clouds cleared, one could take in a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.

The reason this perilous mountain was named "Huan Yue" (Moon Washing) was due to an ancient legend that a female immortal once descended upon its peak, holding a plain silk ribbon and dancing in the moonlight.

Throughout history, countless people had climbed this mountain in search of immortal traces and hidden treasures. However, today, it was occupied by cultivators from the Heavenly Devil Abyss, who felled trees, broke ground, and built hundreds of palaces and pavilions, creating a noisy commotion and completely disrupting the tranquility of this sacred place.

Lu Dingyi stood with his hands clasped behind his back on top of a pavilion, gazing into the distance with a desolate look in his eyes.

A Core Formation cultivator with white hair and beard ascended the pavilion. It was none other than Qi Xuyang, the current Elder in charge of the Heavenly Devil Abyss.

"Real Person, a report from the front lines states that multiple strongholds of our sect within a million miles west of Qing Tian Peak have been destroyed, and five Core Formation cultivators have perished. According to Junior Brother Qu, who went to investigate, those strongholds were forcibly breached. The cultivators inside didn't even have time to escape. The one who attacked might be, might be a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Lu Dingyi's eyes flashed, but he ignored Qi Xuyang's words and instead asked, "Have you found out the whereabouts of Real Person Du? If he has fallen, how did he die?"

Qi Xuyang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Our strongholds near Flowing Cloud City have all been lost. The hidden agents in the city cannot transmit information in time. Although we have sent people out, it may take some time to reconnect with them."

Lu Dingyi snorted, "How much longer? You retreated in a panic without even figuring out the situation, resulting in a complete rout and losing decades of effort in a single day. Now, even the hidden agents can't be contacted! It's laughable!"

Qi Xuyang lowered his head, not daring to argue.

"Forget it, the responsibility for this matter lies primarily with Du Fuming. He's been in the sect for too long and has become complacent, probably thinking that the Southern Domain is just a remote corner and no great figures can emerge from it. As a result, he doesn't even know which hand he lost his life to!

"Tong Tianfu is at Shumi Mountain, who is at Cu Mountain? Can the Xuan Tian Sect suddenly produce a Nascent Soul cultivator? I think it's most likely a late-stage or Great Perfection Core Formation cultivator, wielding a mystical treasure, who launched a sudden attack. Du Fuming wasn't prepared, so even if he didn't die, he was seriously injured and is probably hiding in some remote corner to recover!"

Lu Dingyi spoke with disdain and a hint of anger, coldly stating his speculation about Du Fuming.

Qi Xuyang dared not respond, but simply stood with his hands at his side, waiting for instructions.

Lu Dingyi said a few words, felt bored, and stopped talking, instructing:

"In a few days, Real Person Chu and Real Person Qin should arrive. Go and prepare for their welcome. Real Person Chu has always been particular, and he has been recuperating in the Devil Abyss all these years, so his temperament has become a bit strange. Consider everything carefully in arranging his residence, belongings, and serving disciples, and don't leave anything out! As for the Qing Tian Peak area, withdraw all the people back and leave a million miles of territory as a buffer. Next, the battlefield will not be here, but in the Hengduan Mountains!"

Several days later, a flying chariot came from the west, streaking across the sky like a meteor, piercing through the sea of clouds, and landing on the summit of Huan Yue Mountain.

Lu Dingyi, along with a dozen Core Formation cultivators, had been waiting here for a long time.

"Senior Brother Chu, it's been decades since we last met. Your demeanor is even more impressive than before!" Lu Dingyi said with a smile, addressing the first white-haired cultivator who stepped out of the Wind-Riding Chariot.

This white-haired cultivator had chiseled features and distinct angles, but his complexion was slightly aged. His phoenix eyes were bright and radiant, and his every move exuded extraordinary grace.

He smiled, "Junior Brother Lu, it's been many years since we last met. Your cultivation has become even more profound. We were both injured by the Sky Thunder Halberd, but your recovery is much better than mine."

Lu Dingyi shook his head, "That's because Tong Tianfu had only just entered the Nascent Soul stage when he attacked, and he couldn't control the Sky Thunder Halberd very well, so I wasn't seriously injured. It was different when he dealt with Senior Brother Hou last time. His injuries were no less severe than Senior Brother Chu's back then."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Qin Guangzhi, the second person to step out of the flying chariot, and asked, "Junior Brother Qin, you escorted Senior Brother Hou back to the Devil Abyss, so you know the situation best. I wonder how Senior Brother Hou's injuries are?"

Qin Guangzhi sighed, "Senior Brother Hou himself said that he cannot fight anyone within fifty years."

There were also six Core Formation cultivators in the flying chariot, all in the middle stage of cultivation. Three were Qi Refiners from the Daoist sect, and three were demon cultivators.

Chu Tianxiong laughed heartily, "The two junior brothers don't need to be pessimistic. The Xuan Tian Sect is, after all, a major sect in this domain, with tens of thousands of years of inheritance. It's not something that can be easily dealt with. Originally, we weren't trying to deal with this sect, but just wanted to enter the Mustard Seed Space to retrieve the token.

"Now we have no choice but to attack their mountain gate, but the purpose of the attack is not to destroy their sect, but for that token! Let's discuss it together and think of a way to force the Xuan Tian Sect to hand over the token or the person who knows the whereabouts of the token, and then we can end this mission!"

Lu Dingyi smiled ingratiatingly, but did not answer his question, but only said, "Senior Brother Chu and Junior Brother Qin have traveled tens of millions of miles. I have already had people prepare a welcoming feast at Immortal Trace Rock. Please!"

"A banquet at Immortal Trace Rock? Wonderful. Junior Brother Lu, you are indeed someone who knows how to enjoy life, it suits my taste perfectly!" Chu Tianxiong's face lit up, and he led the way, "Two junior brothers, let's not talk about mundane matters today, but only admire the immortal traces and drink to our hearts' content!"

Qi Xuyang led people to receive the Core Formation cultivators who had come with the two Real Persons. Chu, Lu, and Qin walked to the giant rock suspended on the side of the dangerous peak, sat down, and talked about the world, discussed the past and the present, while raising their glasses and feasting.

Since the three were cultivators at the Nascent Soul level, they could control their thoughts at will. When they said they wouldn't talk about mundane matters, they really didn't say a word.

After a few rounds of wine, the conversation became more lively.

At this time, Qi Xuyang walked over, respectfully bowed, and said, "Reporting to the three Real Persons, a Nascent Soul cultivator has come down the mountain, claiming to be from the Thick Earth Sect, and wishes to meet with the Real Persons of my Devil Abyss."

"Thick Earth Sect? Which Thick Earth Sect? The affiliated sect of the Xuan Tian Sect?" Chu Tianxiong had participated in the investigation of the Mustard Seed Space back then, and still had an impression of the Thick Earth Sect, so he directly asked.

"It is indeed that Thick Earth Sect," Qi Xuyang replied.

"Oh, this sect still has a Nascent Soul? It seems they have been hiding very well! Moreover, he came just as I arrived today. I'm afraid it's not just a coincidence!" Chu Tianxiong said with a smile, appearing nonchalant.

Lu Dingyi's expression turned slightly cold, and he said, "Since this person dares to come, he must have some reliance. Senior Brother Chu, we might as well meet him and see what he has to say."

Chu Tianxiong laughed, "A Nascent Soul Real Person has come from afar, so we must meet him. By the way, what is his name?"

Qi Xuyang said, "He introduced himself as Wen Zaidao."
