Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#693 - Chapter 692: Mountain Crack (4600 words)
Zhang Yuanjing waited for several days, but was unable to enter the Six Yang Mirror because the surrounding dense forest was filled with many demon beasts, mostly only at the Qi Activation Realm, but sufficient as eyes and ears. Among them, there was also a two-foot-long beast called the Ear Listener Beast, which lay on the ground, listening to movements in the ground.
Such a formation indicated that a great demon capable of transformation had entered the Six Yang Mirror, and was likely of high status among the demon race.
With the Sky Cover in hand, it went without saying that he could deceive the Ear Listener Beast, but he did not know if there were strange beasts hidden in the ground, so he did not rashly sneak in.
He hid on a hill on one side of the basin, looking down from a high position, only to see the Six Yang Mirror covered by a cloud of yellow, with sand rolling in the cloud, and light flames flowing horizontally. From time to time, bursts of light yellow mist rose from below, merging into the yellow cloud.
Where the Six Yang Mirror bordered the surrounding dense forest, raging winds howled, and sand and stones flew, but these winds, sands, and stones only moved around the Six Yang Mirror, and did not dissipate into the dense forest.
Zhang Yuanjing estimated that the Six Yang Mirror did not occupy a large area, about a hundred miles in radius, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with curved left and right sides. The inside was obscured by yellow clouds, making it impossible to see the terrain. But with this size, as long as he revealed his presence, he would not be able to escape the divine sense coverage of the great demon capable of transformation.
However, he was also quite puzzled. Since this place was recorded on the Spirit Martial Mountain's secret map, it must be a treasure land highly valued by both demons and humans, and it was also very close to the Demon Suppression Five Cities. There should be human cultivators coming here to seek opportunities, so why was there no fighting in the Six Yang Mirror and surrounding areas, especially the battles between Nascent Soul cultivators and great demons capable of transformation, which would create a great commotion? There shouldn't be no signs of it.
While he was pondering, he suddenly saw a golden light pass over his head and fall directly into the yellow cloud above the Six Yang Mirror. From below, a green light also broke through the yellow cloud and came up to meet it.
"Brother Ji? It's you!" A feminine voice came from the night sky, faintly carrying a hint of surprise and regret.
"Hahaha, Brother Lu, long time no see! It's just that Old Ji is lucky. I recently obtained a 'Cloud Comforts Ten Thousand Miles' escape technique, otherwise, how could I have arrived here before you!" The person who came out of the Six Yang Mirror had a rather majestic voice, full of pride in his tone.
Zhang Yuanjing broke out in a cold sweat. The aura of those two people was too strong, much stronger than Ling Xiao he had seen. The golden figure passed over his head. Although he did not feel their divine sense, there was no doubt that at such a close distance, this person could not have failed to notice him.
Fortunately, this person had their own enemies and couldn't be bothered with him.
Looking from afar, two golden and green light clusters floated in the yellow cloud, facing each other two hundred feet apart. There was clearly a blurred figure in each light cluster, but they were surrounded by clear light and mist, and layers of ripples spread around, making it impossible to see their faces and figures.
He sighed in his heart, knowing that the opportunity here was no longer available to him. However, he did not immediately escape, but watched the situation in the yellow cloud from the hill.
The Lu surnamed cultivator in the golden light pointed below and asked, "Since Brother Ji arrived here first, I wonder if you have already obtained the opportunity?"
"Not yet!" The Ji surnamed cultivator in the green light laughed, "The fortune of heaven and earth is obtained in heaven, sought in oneself. The act of seeking may not be obtained, but if you don't seek, you will definitely have no chance. Brother Lu can come here, it seems that you have the same plan as me!"
The Lu surnamed cultivator nodded and said, "That's right. Our sects are not like the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Spirit Martial Sect, whose mountain gates are based on super spiritual acupoints. Even if we don't seek earth-grade spiritual objects, we can still rely on the spiritual acupoints to advance. This earth-grade spiritual object is the only hope!"
He sighed and suddenly changed the topic, asking, "Brother Ji, what do you think the thing in this Six Yang Mirror is?"
The Ji surnamed cultivator pondered for a moment and slowly said, "It can illuminate flaws in the soul, most likely a high-grade spiritual weapon, such as a divine power spiritual treasure. However, this place has been formed for many years, and countless cultivators and demon beasts have patronized this place, but none have found that spiritual treasure. It seems that this thing either does not exist, or it is incomplete and weak, and can only manifest once every many years."
The Lu surnamed cultivator smiled and said, "If that's the case, why would Brother Ji come here? With Brother Ji's background, you can inherit a divine power spiritual treasure no matter what. What's the use of getting another one!"
The Ji surnamed cultivator laughed loudly and said, "Brother Lu, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet. There is another possibility. This barren mountain was dropped from outside the sky, and has its own magical aspects. Illuminating the soul is only one of its uses, or even the most ordinary use, and its true magical aspect lies in the fact that it is not of this world!"
The Lu surnamed cultivator sneered and said, "Brother Ji, there are only the two of us here, why speak so vaguely? What exactly is its true magical aspect? Please explain clearly."
The Ji surnamed cultivator shook his head, "Why don't you speak first!"
The Lu surnamed cultivator said proudly, "According to my speculation, this so-called Six Yang Mirror is just six pieces of extraterrestrial gold stones."
The Ji surnamed cultivator chuckled and said, "Extraterrestrial gold stones? Where does this name come from? Brother Lu says I'm vague, but I think you're deliberately mystifying."
The Lu surnamed cultivator didn't care about his sarcasm, and asked, "Then please, Brother Ji, tell me, what is this?"
The Ji surnamed cultivator said word by word, "Of course, it is an extraterrestrial meteorite."
The Lu surnamed cultivator looked at his serious appearance, thinking he could say something new, but unexpectedly it was the most ordinary "extraterrestrial meteorite" four words, and immediately felt both annoyed and amused, and said, "If you don't want to say it, why put on an 'I already know everything' look!"
He straightened his expression, "No matter what you call it, it's an opportunity for both of us. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still rising, but it won't be long before it reaches its peak. It seems that if there are any changes, it will be within a few months. Why don't we wait and see if there are any other fellow daoists coming over, and then decide how to determine the winner!"
The Ji surnamed cultivator nodded and said, "That's right. Let's clean up these dirty things to avoid interfering with the birth of heaven and earth's fortune."
The Lu surnamed cultivator laughed and said, "Then let's take our midline as the boundary, the east belongs to me, and the west belongs to you!"
Hearing the previous few sentences, Zhang Yuanjing had already used the earth escape technique, covered with the "Sky Cover" ancient treasure, and hid deep in the ground nearly seven hundred feet.
"Eh!" The Lu surnamed cultivator looked down and didn't see the figure on the hill, and said in surprise, "That Core Formation cultivator disappeared under my nose!"
The Ji surnamed cultivator sneered, "That place is for you to clean up, don't leave any omissions, in case you and I are both injured in the future, wouldn't that cultivator become the fisherman!"
The Lu surnamed cultivator said proudly, "Even if you and I only have one breath left, it would be enough to crush him like an ant. This person was lucky enough to escape, how dare he come here again!"
His figure flashed, the golden light faded, revealing a handsome young face with red lips and white teeth, but his eyes were deep and revealed vicissitudes. When walking and looking around, his demeanor was dignified and majestic.
He moved across the sky and landed on the hill where Zhang Yuanjing had stayed before. His divine sense condensed like a cone and stabbed fiercely into the ground.
This divine sense cone easily penetrated the layers of soil and drilled straight into the ground five hundred feet deep. It was suppressed by the powerful earth force before stopping its momentum and slowly stopping at five hundred and fifty feet.
He snorted lightly, shook his arms, and released more than a dozen flying swords, which flew into the mountains and fields. After a while, screams were heard from all over the place, echoing in the empty mountains and fields, shrill and terrifying.
The Lu surnamed cultivator walked leisurely, as if viewing the scenery of the mountains and forests, with a comfortable and relaxed look.
On the other side, the Ji surnamed cultivator condensed countless green leaf-like swirling qi, which drilled into the mountains, rivers, forests, stones, and all places where demon beasts could hide, wantonly slaughtering them.
After cleaning up the mountains and forests in the outer thousands of miles, the two entered the Six Yang Mirror separately to clean up the demon beasts that had broken into it. Among them, there were many demons capable of transformation, who had previously hidden because they feared the two Nascent Soul cultivators, and of course, there were also those who expected the two tigers to fight each other and perish together.
For a time, under the yellow clouds and in the raging sand, there were many battles.
Zhang Yuanjing hid in the ground, not daring to move. After the two Nascent Soul cultivators entered the Six Yang Mirror, they were more than a hundred miles away from him. However, he still didn't dare to move. Because Zhang San told him that there was a flying sword lurking in the shallow soil directly above. This was left by the Lu surnamed cultivator, who was obviously still suspicious and quietly buried a monitoring method.
With the Sky Cover protecting him, and being in nearly seven hundred feet of soil, Zhang Yuanjing was confident that this sword could not find him. However, if he moved, it would be hard to say. In this deep ground, the earth force was extremely strong. Once he traveled through the soil, the Sky Cover might leak his aura.
It was safest to remain still and avoid making mistakes.
Moreover, those two cultivators must be Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection cultivators, and most likely those who had deduced their daos and secret techniques to the extreme of the realm. Such beings had many profound methods, and perhaps still hid secret moves, but Zhang San hadn't discovered them either.
The battle in the Six Yang Mirror only lasted for an hour. Not a single demon capable of transformation escaped from it.
When the two Nascent Soul cultivators reappeared above the yellow clouds, everything within a thousand miles was as silent as death.
The two exchanged a few words and walked backwards separately, each falling on a hill and beginning to sit in meditation and wait.
The place where the Lu surnamed cultivator sat was exactly where Zhang Yuanjing had stood before. This person put away the previously hidden flying sword, guided his qi and circulated his energy, and his body was filled with spiritual power like rain.
Time passed breath by breath, day by day, and Zhang Yuanjing remained still, his aura not showing a trace of fluctuation.
In the following months, demon beasts occasionally came here, all of which were killed by the two cultivators. However, no more demons capable of transformation or Nascent Soul cultivators appeared.
One day seven months later, a golden light suddenly shot out from below, swept across the yellow cloud above, and broke a gap in it.
A violent wind suddenly arose in the sky, dark clouds filled the air, and the sky quickly darkened.
The Lu surnamed cultivator stood up tall, flew into the air, and golden light spontaneously emerged from his body. He said to the Ji surnamed cultivator, who also came across the sky and was shrouded in green light, "Brother Ji, the fortune of heaven and earth is about to be born. No one else is coming here. It's just the two of us. Let's have a showdown. The winner can easily seize the opportunity. I have long admired Brother's 'Azure Sky Ze Country' technique, but have never had the chance to see it. I'd like to ask Brother for guidance! Please!"
The Ji surnamed cultivator laughed, "All fellow daoists say that Brother Lu's 'Scorching Sun in the Sky' various spells are the extreme of fire-type daos in the world. I have long wanted to see them. However, as this is the depths of the Transverse Mountains, after all, demons run rampant. If you and I fight to the death, the demon race will inevitably pick up the advantage. Let's limit it to three moves, mutually assess the victory or defeat. The loser will leave, and the winner will stay. What do you think?"
"This is exactly what I want. Brother Ji, take the move!" The Lu surnamed cultivator heard this and immediately agreed. At the same time, he raised his arms, and without waiting for his opponent to prepare, he had already made his move.
The golden light cluster surrounding his body slowly rose, like a scorching sun, and hundreds of rays of light shot out, heading straight for the green light cluster a hundred feet away.
The green light cluster expanded instantaneously, turning into several acres of square pond. The water surface moved automatically without wind, rippling in layers. The hundreds of light beams shot into the water and quickly disappeared.
The scorching sun continued to rise, and countless light bullets flew out from it, like birds flying into the forest, falling into the water. "Boom boom boom boom!——", a string of explosions rang out like a string of pearls. The waves of the green square pond vibrated, and countless gaps were exposed from it, as if it was riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse.
However, no matter how the light bullets bombarded, and how precarious the square pond was, the green light in the very center remained unchanged in color and undiminished in momentum, and the figure hidden in it did not move at all.
"Good technique. Brother Ji, if you can take this move, Scorching Sun Burning the Sky, which I have used with all my strength, this battle will be over!"
What he meant by this was that this move was extremely strong, and it was often disadvantageous to take it head-on, so in past battles, opponents had all dodged it. Now that the two were gambling, if the Ji surnamed cultivator did not agree to his proposal, he would fall into a disadvantage, equivalent to losing a move.
The Lu surnamed cultivator raised his arm and shouted. From the top of his head, a beam of dark red light rushed out, straight into the scorching sun. The scorching sun quickly turned from red to white, broadcasting a blazing aura, and moved towards the sky above the green square pond.
At this time, the green square pond changed again. Countless towering trees drilled out of the water, growing wildly upwards. When the white scorching sun moved over, the dense branches and leaves had already reached its bottom.
As the blazing aura of the white scorching sun continued to fall downwards, these branches and leaves quickly turned into green smoke and disappeared. However, new branches and leaves emerged in an instant, forcibly resisting the blazing aura and preventing it from harming the trees.
This seemed to have become a war of attrition. Whichever side exhausted their mana first would be considered the loser.
Zhang Yuanjing, hiding in the ground, naturally could not see this magnificent and grand fighting scene. Even Ling Xiao's battle back then was far inferior to this. Zhang San could only sense the terrifying and unparalleled aura confrontation, but could not describe the scene to Zhang Yuanjing.
At this time, the scorching sun moved. It fell straight down towards the forest of giant trees. The blazing aura rolled down like water droplets, burning holes everywhere in the dense branches and leaves at the top of the giant trees. The giant trees could not grow new branches and leaves in time, so they could only shrink downwards, pushing the lower branches and leaves up again. In this way, the giant trees continued to lower, as if they were being sawed off from below, section by section.
However, the descent of the scorching sun was also extremely difficult. Every time it fell an inch, it would tremble violently, and at the same time, its aura would drop a level.
The contest of strength between the two sides had obviously reached the point where the dagger was revealed. If the giant trees could not stop the scorching sun, then the person hidden in the green light might be in danger of falling. Conversely, if the giant trees broke the scorching sun, it would have no effect on the Lu surnamed real person a hundred feet away. Therefore, this battle seemed to be that this person had the upper hand.
However, just as the giant trees were about to reveal their bottom, a boundless water curtain with surging waves suddenly rose from below the giant trees, issuing a earth-shattering roar, and swallowed the scorching sun in a roll. The giant trees shrinking under the water curtain grew wildly again, and soon restored their original height. Countless tender leaves and thin branches also emerged from the giant trees, covering the entire sky.
At that moment, the water curtain suddenly twisted, then burst open, and countless fireballs shot out from it. The vast majority slammed into the giant tree forest, while a few deviated from the azure sky and fell into the mountains and fields below.
Explosions echoed continuously within the giant tree forest, and giant trees crashed down one after another. The once impenetrable azure sky was instantly shattered. Then, raging fires blazed on the giant trees, soaring towards the sky.
Just as the two were about to determine the victor, a rumbling sound suddenly emanated from the dark clouds above, followed by an earth-shattering thunderclap. A massive beam of lightning swept across the yellow clouds above the Six Yang Mirror and plunged vertically into the wind and sandstorm.
"Boom!"
Mountains crumbled and the earth split, sending rocks flying. Hidden beneath the yellow clouds and within the sandstorm were six towering yellow boulders. Three sides of these boulders were uneven and jagged, with sharp edges, but each had one side that was as smooth as a mirror. However, under the onslaught of the thunder, all six stones shattered.
Within the rapidly spreading dust and flying stones, six dark golden light clusters flickered intermittently. They seemed to be living things, using the cover of dust to flee in all directions.
The two Real Men stopped upon hearing the sound, each choosing a light cluster and giving chase.
However, neither of them noticed that one light cluster did not flee amidst the flying stones and dust, but quietly burrowed into the ground and hid itself.
