Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Fellow Daoist Qu, have you ever heard of the 'Sword Holder'?" Zhang Yuanjing asked Qu Yizhong beside him in a low voice.

The group traveled east along the deep ravine.

According to Lin Yu, there were many lakes 100,000 miles east of Bishi Mountain. Passing through there and then heading north would make it easier to hide their tracks and prevent the Black Crow King from following them. Qu Chongyi, Lu Xiangkun, and others agreed with this suggestion.

Fire Crow Daoist readily accepted the suggestion and immediately ordered the Bijing Suanni beast to scout the way ahead. Lin Yu, Lu Xiangkun, and the other seven Core Formation cultivators warned on both sides. He led a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the middle and personally escorted Hao Sanding. Zhang Yuanjing, Qu Yizhong, and Yuan Shisan brought up the rear, carefully heading east.

"Sword Holder?" Qu Yizhong was slightly stunned. He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Qu has never heard of this name."

Zhang Yuanjing was slightly disappointed, but not surprised, because Yu Zhiyins, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, didn't know either. He then said, "Does Fellow Daoist know if there is a sword named Fuluo in Hidden Sword Valley?"

Qu Yizhong nodded immediately: "Qu knows this. Among the seven great swords of Hidden Sword Valley, there are three swords that are most worthy of praise, and Fuluo is one of them. It is said that this sword is known as 'It does not cry out, but when it does, it startles the world'. It needs to be nourished in a large spiritual cave for ten years before it can unleash a sword strike. The longer it is nourished, the greater its power. But if it is not nourished, it is no different from an ordinary flying sword."

"Has this sword always been held by Hidden Sword Valley cultivators?" Zhang Yuanjing asked again.

Qu Yizhong pondered and said, "Qu is not sure about this. Except for the seven great swords, the other swords in Hidden Sword Valley are not unsellable. If you can come up with a bargaining chip that Hidden Sword Valley is interested in, I don't think Hidden Sword Valley will refuse the transaction."

"Has Fellow Daoist ever heard of anyone using the Fuluo Sword in recent years?" Zhang Yuanjing pressed.

Qu Yizhong still shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. However, it is also possible that someone made a move, but no one saw it. If the opponent is unprepared for a powerful weapon like the Fuluo Sword, I'm afraid they will hardly escape death."

Zhang Yuanjing nodded silently. It was difficult to say whether the Core Formation cultivator wearing a hat came from Hidden Sword Valley. At that time, this person used Hidden Sword Valley's unique escape technique, 'Sword-Drawing Displacement', which made Yu Zhiyins believe that he was a Hidden Sword Valley cultivator. However, it was hard to say that this move was not a deliberate misdirection.

Hidden Sword Valley is on good terms with the Xuantian Sect. Zhang Yuanjing knew something about this sect and knew that the sect's Real people always focused on forging swords and cultivation, and rarely participated in sect disputes. The disciples in the sect rarely left the valley to travel. The 'Sword Holder' deliberately directed the dispute to Hidden Sword Valley, and he didn't know what his purpose was.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanjing stopped talking and looked preoccupied, Qu Yizhong wisely didn't ask any more questions.

The road in the deep ravine gradually narrowed, eventually becoming a dangerous path suspended on a stone cliff, with a rushing stream below. The several Core Formation cultivators guarding on both sides flew up with their flying swords and went to the mountains on both sides, using the cover of the trees to investigate.

Before long, the group left the deep ravine and entered the mountains. Demons and beasts gradually appeared in the mountains. They tried to avoid them as much as possible. If their tracks were discovered, the Core Formation cultivators would take turns to capture or kill them, taking away all the corpses and cleaning up all the auras.

The journey was peaceful, and they traveled 30,000 to 40,000 miles east. A river dozens of feet wide appeared at the foot of the mountain ahead.

"Real person, this river is called Emerald Jade, and it flows into that lake area." Lin Yu said, pointing to the river as Fire Crow Daoist stepped forward.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is very familiar with the geography here. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into it!" Fire Crow Daoist laughed.

"Real person is joking. Lin has been wandering around the Hengduan Mountains these years. In order to search for natural treasures, I have been to many places, so I know a little more about geography." Lin Yu explained with a smile.

"Well, cultivation is not easy, and opportunities are rare. Fellow Daoist Lin dares to go deep into dangerous places, so I think you will always gain something." Fire Crow Daoist said casually, then turned to Zhang Yuanjing and said, "Yuanjing, let the Suanni beast travel east along the north bank of the river. If you find anything, return in time."

The group moved forward along the river. At first, everything went smoothly, but after 5,000 miles, demons and beasts appeared frequently, especially a kind of long-horned python.

Although there were few pythons in the demon core realm, this demon was good at hiding, hiding under tree branches, with only a slight aura. It was difficult to detect without carefully examining it with divine sense. When the pythons attacked, the cultivators had no difficulty dealing with them, but the commotion was not small, and they were afraid of being discovered by other demons and beasts in the distance.

After traveling thousands of miles, the Bijing Suanni beast suddenly turned back.

"Senior, the Suanni beast said that there is a mountain hundreds of miles away in front of us. The mountain is full of long-horned pythons, including silver-horned pythons and gold-horned pythons. The gold-horned pythons are all demon core realm in strength. It feels that there are even stronger demon pythons in the mountain." Zhang Yuanjing said, pointing to a mountain peak rising by the river at the bend of the river ahead.

Fire Crow Daoist frowned and asked Lin Yu, "Fellow Daoist Lin, are there python demons here?"

Lin Yu's eyes were a little evasive, and he said hesitantly: "Back, back to Real person, that mountain is the nest of the horned python demon. Lin doesn't know if there is a transformed demon. I have heard some fellow Daoists say that there may be, or there may be a great demon in the mountain."

"Why did you suggest we take this path?" Fire Crow Daoist asked in a cold voice.

At this time, Lu Xiangkun said in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't want to pick the red ling fruit, do you!"

As soon as the words "red ling fruit" came out, the expressions of several Core Formation cultivators in the field, except for Zhang Yuanjing, were all refreshed, and their eyes turned to Lin Yu in unison.

Facing the many fiery gazes, Lin Yu nodded calmly.

"What is red ling fruit?" Fire Crow Daoist's eyes became very stern as he looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu didn't dare to look at Fire Crow Daoist's eyes, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Back to Real person, red ling fruit is a kind of spiritual fruit that is symbiotic with python demons. The high-grade ones can reach the fourth rank of the Xuan grade. The fruit contains majestic spiritual power and python demon venom. This venom is of the fire attribute. After fusion with spiritual power, the toxicity is缓和, and the fire attribute tends to be violent. After taking it, it can help the golden core of the middle and late stage Core Formation cultivators, far better than ordinary pills."

Fire Crow Daoist snorted coldly and asked sharply: "You led me to take this detour, do you want the old Dao to pick the red ling fruit for you?"

Lin Yu quickly denied: "Real person misunderstood! Lin absolutely doesn't mean that. Lin just, just wants to ask Real person to help investigate and see if there is really a transformed demon in the demon python mountain. If there is a great demon, Lin will give up. If not, then Lin doesn't need Real person to take action, Lin will go to the mountain to pick it myself, whether I live or die is up to me."

The other cultivators, including Yao Zhanyi and Xun Fang, who had previously mocked Fire Crow Daoist, all showed eager expressions, but they were afraid of the Real person's anger and did not dare to express it.

Fire Crow Daoist glanced at the several late-stage Core Formation cultivators, frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on Qu Chongyi. He had a plan in mind.

He said calmly: "Go forward first. If there is a transformed demon, the old Dao will let you detour."

A look of joy flew across Lin Yu's face. He bowed to the end and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you Real person for your consideration. Lin will never refuse any dispatch from Real person!"

The other Core Formation cultivators also looked excited and bowed to thank him.
