Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After traveling for about a hundred miles, Zhang San reported, "Master, it's a mixed battle between two groups of demonic beasts. Each side has over a dozen Core Formation realm beasts, and the rest are Spirit Awakening realm. The strongest are at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation realm."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing immediately relaxed and asked, "Did you see any Great Demons? What kind of demonic beasts are they?"

Zhang San seemed to be a particularly cautious person, always leaving room for himself when speaking, "Reporting to Master, I didn't see any Great Demons, but Zhang San's spiritual sense only reaches within a hundred miles. I don't know about anything further away."

He paused slightly and continued, "Among one group of demonic beasts, the leader is a monkey demon. The leader of the other group is a wolf demon. The remaining demonic beasts include tigers, pigs, bears, pythons, and some insect beasts. It's very chaotic."

"A monkey demon?" Zhang Yuanjing's heart stirred. "Besides this Great Perfection monkey demon, are there any other monkey demons?"

Zhang San said, "There are a few others. Hmm, three are in the Core Formation realm, and five are in the Spirit Awakening realm."

While speaking, Zhang Yuanjing had already approached the battlefield to within thirty miles. This distance was enough for demonic beasts to clearly distinguish the scent of those approaching. However, the wind in this canyon was blowing in all directions, making it difficult for the demonic beasts to smell him.

He extended his divine sense and scanned the battlefield in the chaos. Sure enough, hundreds of demonic beasts were tearing at each other. Even the Core Formation realm demonic beasts, without special talents, were engaging in physical combat without any fancy moves.

Those monkey demons were indeed of the Gu Monkey race, with long, pointed faces and calls like partridges. They were agile and ruthless, and they were not afraid of physically strong demonic beasts in combat at the same level.

According to the White Elephant King, there were several demonic beast groups with the greatest power in the Hengduan Mountains, all possessing Transformation Great Perfection cultivators, who were also the main force in this opportunity competition. Such groups were vast in number, with definitely hundreds or thousands of Core Formation realm existences, and not too few with Great Perfection cultivation.

Clearly, for places like Jade Cloud Mountain, which had Transformation Great Demons, the Gu Monkey race would definitely send those of equal strength to deal with them. But for places like Wind Thunder Gorge, where there were no Great Demons suppressing them, they would send Core Formation realm Great Perfection cultivators to lead the search. Of course, this was also an opportunity for these demonic beasts. If they found a suitable Rank 5 Profound-grade spiritual object, they might be able to break through to the next realm.

After two groups of demonic beasts fought fiercely for half an hour, the Gu Monkey side gradually gained the upper hand. They originally belonged to the same force and had practiced methods of coordinated warfare. It was not obvious at first, but over time, they divided and surrounded their opponents, killing them one by one.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the leader of the other side began to retreat. The other Core Formation realm demonic beasts were also quite alert and followed him in retreat. The situation on the battlefield changed drastically, directly turning from a balanced stalemate to one side collapsing and scattering, while the other chased after and pursued.

The Core Formation realm Great Perfection wolf demon had a strong escape technique. With a few flashes, it disappeared into the messy pile of boulders. Some of the other Core Formation realm demonic beasts were surrounded and killed, while others were lucky enough to break through the encirclement.

The Gu Monkey side chased for ten miles before withdrawing their troops and returning. However, the Great Perfection Gu Monkey guarded a stone crevice and did not pursue. After all the demons of its side returned, it opened its mouth and made a few "goo-goo" sounds, then burrowed into the stone crevice. Among the beast group, two Gu Monkeys and several armored, long-horned earth dragon beasts also entered the stone crevice. The remaining demonic beasts dispersed and surrounded the stone crevice tightly.

Zhang Yuanjing released the blood worm and had it search for a path through the rocks to investigate that place. However, after the blood worm circled around several times, it could not find a way to approach the stone crevice from below. If it went over the ground, it would definitely be discovered by those demonic beasts.

"Zhang San, use your spiritual sense to investigate what that Gu Monkey is doing in the crevice!" Zhang Yuanjing had no choice but to let Zhang San act as his eyes and ears.

"Master, there are strong spiritual energy fluctuations below, like signs of intersecting spiritual veins."

Zhang San's spiritual sense was different from the divine sense of cultivators, which was connected to the power of the soul. It mainly relied on the fluctuations of spiritual energy to judge movements, so it was easily affected and unable to accurately determine the situation.

"Are there any spiritual objects?"

"There are six or seven plants. Among them, one is of very high quality, almost comparable to the big lotus pod that Master picked."

That was a Rank 5 Profound-grade spiritual object. Zhang Yuanjing thought to himself.

He thought for a moment and decided to remain still.

After a quarter of an hour, the Core Formation realm Great Perfection Gu Monkey emerged from the stone crevice and led the group of demonic beasts to continue deeper into the canyon.

Wind Thunder Gorge was tens of thousands of miles long, stretching along a majestic mountain range running east-west. In the middle of the mountain range, it cut through the mountain range from south to north and then continued to extend westward. Therefore, the section passing through the mountain range was the core area of Wind Thunder Gorge. There, hurricanes were like knives, and heavenly lightning was like rain, making it an extremely dangerous place where few demonic beasts dared to pass through.

Zhang Yuanjing followed far behind, relying on Zhang San to guide the way, following the Gu Monkey race and its group of demons. Along the way, they occasionally encountered some demonic beasts, but they were all scared away by the Gu Monkey demons.

The Gu Monkey group searched stone crevices and caves all the way, moving very slowly, but they did find many Rank 4 Profound-grade spiritual objects. The Gu Monkey carried a storage pouch, and it put any spiritual objects it obtained into it.

Five days later, at ten thousand miles into the canyon, a group of demonic beasts appeared again ahead. The leaders were two Core Formation realm Great Perfection demonic beasts, one of which was the wolf demon from before, and the other was a colorful python. The two sides directly started fighting, killing until blood flowed like a river and beast corpses littered the ground. But in the end, the Gu Monkey side was still stronger and defeated its opponent again. This time, the Gu Monkey leader did not let the enemy escape and stared fixedly at the python, chasing it all the way until it finally killed it, even swallowing its inner core. The wolf demon relied on its innate talent to escape again.

More than a month later, the Gu Monkey group arrived at the fractured part of the mountain range. Less than ten miles away, thunderclouds gathered, and lightning flashed, even in broad daylight. The demons were all intimidated by the power of thunder and dared not move forward. The Gu Monkey leader was also somewhat afraid, but it still made several "goo-goo" sounds and summoned two Gu Monkeys and two wolf demons from the demon group, ordering them to follow it and enter the mountain gorge together.

As soon as the Gu Monkey leader left, the remaining demons immediately retreated until they were more than twenty miles away from the valley before stopping.

Zhang Yuanjing put Ape Thirteen into the spirit beast pouch, left the canyon from the side, and used earth escape to tunnel to a mountain ridge on one side of the valley.

Beneath the mountain ridge, he could hear the sound of thunder above from afar, and even lightning directly struck the mountain ridge, causing earth and rocks to fly, and broken trees to catch fire.

He found a gentle slope and emerged, only to see the thunderclouds right above his head, seeming ready to unleash lightning at any moment, causing his hair to stand on end and cold sweat to break out.

At this moment, a flash of lightning seemed to streak across his eyes and fall into the valley below, making a "crackling" sound, followed by thick smoke.

Before the valley, the Gu Monkey leader and the four demons hesitated, their bodies tense, their ten eyes watching the process of thunderclouds generating electricity without blinking, trying to find a flaw in them so they could rush into the valley in one fell swoop.

After half an hour, the Gu Monkey leader probably felt that it had a grasp of the situation. It suddenly took out five black tree branches, each as thick as a bowl and about ten feet long, from its storage pouch. It first distributed them to the four demons, and then, holding one itself, raised it above its head, called out a few times, and suddenly rushed into the valley.

At this time, it was precisely the moment when the old lightning had dissipated and the new lightning had not yet formed.

However, as soon as the Gu Monkey leader broke into the valley, another bolt of lightning fell from above without warning, striking the black tree branch raised by the Gu Monkey.
