Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

The yellow mist in the air grew thicker, icy and bone-chilling. Fire Crow Taoist floated in the air, flying about five feet above the ground. Zhang Yuanjing hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.

Xing Guanghan imitated him, adopting the same strange posture. It was indeed less uncomfortable than standing upright in the air.

As for Golden Dharma King and Chang Guangming, they reveled in the turbid air, feeling refreshed and joyful, and wouldn't care about a little chill.

The journey to that place was over twenty-one hundred miles, which, for cultivators of the Core Formation stage, was only about half an hour.

However, the occasional emergence of Yin monsters and flying zombies greatly slowed their speed. Fear and vigilance towards Transformation Realm demonic creatures also made them cautious, carefully exploring and daring not to fly too fast.

Along the way, they also encountered several patches of strange soil bubbling with air. Without the Thick Earth Transformation Cauldron, Zhang Yuanjing naturally lost interest. Although he could refine turbid air, he had no way to utilize this kind of soil soaked in Three Lives Water. Fire Crow Taoist assumed that Lord Divine Cauldron no longer needed this item and didn't care either.

"How many flying zombies is this already? They're so weak, it's really boring!" Golden Dharma King said listlessly, scratching his messy hair.

The strength of flying zombies was difficult to determine in terms of realm. For cultivators who couldn't break through their defenses, they were roughly equivalent to mid-to-late Core Formation stage.

However, for cultivators skilled in attacking, they were at most early Core Formation stage. Golden Dharma King had easily chopped down more than a dozen flying zombies and had long lost interest in them.

"At least thirty or forty!" Xing Guanghan added. His spear was incomparably sharp and had killed many flying zombies, but some of its luster had dimmed.

Fire Crow Taoist shook his head, saying with some doubt, "Strange, why have the flying zombies become so numerous, while the Yin monsters are becoming fewer and fewer?"

They were still about two hundred miles away from that large pit. But the demonic creatures encountered along the way were mostly flying zombies, and Yin monsters were almost nowhere to be seen.

"Perhaps we've reached the flying zombies' nest!" Chang Guangming said.

The last time they came, there were very few Yin monsters and flying zombies. This time, it was so different. Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing both guessed that this might be related to that large pit.

The group traveled while conversing, occasionally stopping to observe. After another short while, they arrived near the large pit in Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing's memory.

"Look, that's—a grassland?" Golden Dharma King, with his thick skin and abundant magic power, was flying at a height of three zhang above and suddenly shouted, seemingly having seen something.

"Grassland? Old Gold, are you seeing things!" Chang Guangming also raised his flying device and looked in the direction Golden Dharma King pointed. "It's really green. Hmm, further away, there's a black and yellow color, does it look like Three Lives Water?"

Golden Dharma King suddenly accelerated, quickly darting out more than ten miles. The other four quickly caught up.

"It's a lake, a lake of Three Lives Water!" Golden Dharma King shouted excitedly.

At this time, Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Taoist, who were below, also used their magic power to protect their bodies and rose to a higher altitude, looking into the distance.

"It's really a lake, the pit from back then has actually become a lake!" Fire Crow Taoist said with emotion.

"It seems to have grown much larger, almost twenty li in diameter!" Zhang Yuanjing said in surprise. "Around it, there seem to be demonic plants, hmm, some look like that Nether Soul Grass!"

Golden Dharma King's eyes shone brightly: "Taking these demonic plants back would be enough for the Sect Leader to use! This is a blessed land for our Divine Sect!"

The group quickly flew closer to the large lake. The lake was indeed filled with Three Lives Water, and the dense turbid air filled the air, surpassing even Candle Shade Valley.

Around the lake, there was a ring of green plants several miles wide, like a meadow surrounding the lake. They were born from turbid air and grew by absorbing Three Lives Water. Among them were many high-grade demonic plants.

However, what greatly surprised Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing was that on the meadow closer to them, there were seventy or eighty flying zombies prowling around, seemingly guarding their territory.

On the opposite shore of the lake, there were more than a hundred white, shadowy figures, wandering aimlessly like souls. The two sides each occupied half of the meadow, neither invading nor provoking each other.

When they were about ten miles away from the side of the meadow, the flying zombies suddenly stirred, and then more than thirty of them rushed towards the five.

"Hmm, attrition warfare, Old Gold likes it!"

Perhaps seeing so many good things, Golden Dharma King was exceptionally excited. Without even greeting the other four, he rushed forward with his large saber.

"This old fellow!" Chang Guangming muttered, quickly following. This wasn't three flying zombies, but thirty, and they wouldn't be easy to kill.

After a half-hour of fierce fighting, the five killed seventeen flying zombies, and the rest retreated.

The fifty or so flying zombies who had been watching from the rear now abandoned their guarding of the territory and swarmed up.

The leader had a crescent-shaped flame mark on his forehead, and a faint red light flickered on his ink-colored body.

"Yuanjing, use a 'Raging Sands' spell to scatter them!" Fire Crow Taoist quickly said, then turned to look at Golden Dharma King, "Old Gold, you focus on killing that leader, and I will assist you."

As Zhang Yuanjing waved the Thick Earth Magic Sword in his hand, dozens of zhang of rolling yellow sand rushed towards the fifty or so flying zombies, quickly surrounding them.

Compared to Yin monsters, flying zombies were a type of demonic creature with weaker souls but simple and brutal strength. They charged forward through the yellow sand, heading towards the direction they had locked onto, regardless of everything.

After a few breaths, they rushed out from all directions, some close to Zhang Yuanjing and the others, and some further away.

The leader with the flame mark, along with a dozen ordinary flying zombies, happened to appear in front of the group.

Golden Dharma King roared and charged forward, swinging the long saber from his back. Chang Guangming and Xing Guanghan guarded on either side.

Fire Crow Taoist had already summoned the Black Iron Gourd. With a point of his magic, the gourd flew past the three in front and above the dozen flying zombies. Its aura contracted, and in the blink of an eye, it sucked two flying zombies into the gourd.

Then, with a crisp "clang," Golden Dharma King's long saber was blocked by the flying zombie leader's arm.

From the side, Xing Guanghan's spear, like a venomous snake, dodged its other arm and stabbed into its neck.

The flying zombie leader let out a "ho" sound, somewhat stunned by the stab. Golden Dharma King took the opportunity to swing his saber horizontally, heavily chopping it on its neck, knocking it completely to the ground.

The remaining flying zombies quickly came to its rescue. Chang Guangming's silver flying sword released strands of electric light, swirling around the three flying zombies, scaring them into running around with their heads in their hands.

At the same time, an earth prison rose around Golden Dharma King, Xing Guanghan, and the flying zombie leader, separating them from the remaining flying zombies.

Some of the flying zombies punched the walls, some attacked Chang Guangming, and one charged towards Zhang Yuanjing.

The earth prison was very sturdy. Under the punches and kicks of the flying zombies, it rumbled, but stood firm. The flying zombies attacking Chang Guangming and Zhang Yuanjing were taken away by Fire Crow Taoist with his gourd.

After about three breaths, the four walls of the earth prison collapsed, revealing Golden Dharma King, Xing Guanghan, and the flying zombie leader lying motionless on the ground.

The two were extremely powerful, having beaten a flying zombie whose strength was comparable to a Saint Core Realm Great Perfection cultivator to death.

At this time, the raging sand dissipated, and the remaining flying zombies, who had been charging around aimlessly, refound their target, but the leader leading their charge had fallen.

"Aoo! Aoo!" The flying zombies went berserk, their fangs gleaming, their long arms waving, their legs like the wind, vowing to tear the enemies who invaded their territory to pieces.

"Whoosh—" The raging sand rose again, and the grim-faced, fierce-looking flying zombies were once again shrouded in the sky-covering yellow sand, losing their direction.

After half an hour of repeated killing, all the flying zombies were cleared out. The hundred or so Yin monsters on the opposite shore of the lake watched the entire time without taking any action.

Golden Dharma King stretched his neck, scanning back and forth across those seemingly illusory white shadows, and asked in a low voice, "Can we take out so many Yin monsters?"

Chang Guangming shook his head: "Our purpose is to fetch water. Since they aren't coming over, we don't need to bother with them!"

Xing Guanghan said with a solemn expression, "They feel difficult to deal with, more terrifying than this group of flying zombies!"

Zhang Yuanjing fully released his divine sense, carefully searching among the hundreds of white shadows. However, all the Yin monsters were faceless, identical in shape, and had similar auras. He couldn't discern any differences and couldn't identify their leader.

So he said, "Yin monsters seem to be more bizarre than flying zombies. These Yin monsters are gathered together. I don't know if they have any combined power. It's better not to provoke them easily. When the two of you advance to the Transformation Realm in the future, it will be time to clean them up."

Fire Crow Taoist also nodded in agreement.

Golden Dharma King no longer insisted. He was also somewhat frightened by these strange white shadows.

Subsequently, under the protection of Zhang Yuanjing, Fire Crow Taoist, and Xing Guanghan, Golden Dharma King and Chang Guangming cast spells together to collect five million catties of Three Lives Water using five Flow-Gathering Bags. The Three Lives Water in this large lake had been settling for more than ten years and was very pure.

The commotion they made when fetching the water was huge, but the white shadows on the opposite shore only briefly stirred and quickly returned to calm.

However, this undoubtedly made the five of them even more fearful. After taking the water, they didn't even carefully identify the demonic plants on the meadow, randomly digging up a few that looked good and hurriedly left.
