Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

“Yuan Jing, what are your impressions of your trip to the Hengduan Mountains?”

After Zhang Yu left, Tong Tianfu's opening question caught Zhang Yuanjing off guard.

He pondered for a moment and said, “Above, there are turbulent winds and clouds; below, there are surging undercurrents.”

Tong Tianfu was slightly moved and asked, “What do you mean?”

Zhang Yuanjing said, “Turbulent winds and clouds naturally refer to the rising spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Spiritual objects are frequently appearing in the Hengduan Mountains, making it a place of great contention. The human race fights with the demon race, and there is infighting within each race. It is as if heaven and earth have thrown out a piece of fat meat, attracting countless tigers and wolves to come forward!”

Tong Tianfu nodded and asked, “What do you mean by surging undercurrents?”

“This specifically refers to the conspiracy against my Xuantian Sect,” Zhang Yuanjing said in a deep voice. “As the general trend changes drastically, the one behind the Abyss of Heavenly Demons has not shifted his target because of this and is still secretly plotting against my sect.”

“Do you already know which sect it is?” Tong Tianfu sighed softly, as if there were endless sorrows that were difficult to relieve.

“If there are no changes, it should be the Tiandao Sect of the Central Region!” Zhang Yuanjing said decisively.

“Can you feel the pressure?” Tong Tianfu suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly. “Receiving Tian Cong's message from the Hengduan Mountains is truly like experiencing both ice and fire! Hearing that he successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, I was overjoyed and wanted to dance for joy. Learning that the one who has been plotting against my sect is the Tiandao Sect, it is like falling into the abyss of profound ice, and even my thoughts almost froze! What are Yuan Jing's feelings?”

Zhang Yuanjing hesitated and said, “This disciple does not have such strong feelings. Previously, when the Real Person was talking, didn't you also guess that it was very likely the Tiandao Sect? Why are you so worried?”

“Guessing is guessing, after all, I still harbored some僥倖. To be honest, I would rather the force behind the Abyss of Heavenly Demons be the Jixia Academy than the Tiandao Sect. The Tiandao Sect's deterrent power in the Central and Southern Regions is too great. If a Deity Transformation cultivator from that sect were to attack recklessly, I am afraid that no sect in the Southern Region would dare to say a word for us!”

A thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Yuanjing's mind. Since Tong Tianfu had also suspected that the force behind the Abyss of Heavenly Demons was the Jixia Academy, why did he still ask him and Shu Tianqi and Su Yuanxiao to seek help there? Was he taking a gamble?

He always felt that Tong Tianfu's actions and plans were far-reaching and not as simple as they seemed on the surface, but unfortunately, he knew very little about the Jixia Academy and could not make any conjectures.

“Do Deity Transformation cultivators not care about the rules set in the past?”

Tong Tianfu shook his head: “That also depends on the time. If it were normal times, the super sects would restrain each other, which could still be restrained. Now the situation has changed drastically, and the sects are all attracted to the pillar of the gods in the Hengduan Mountains, so how can they care about the survival of a declining great sect. Especially since the human race has to compete with the demon race for the pillar of the gods, there must be a Deity Transformation cultivator sitting in the rear. At this time, which sect would offend a Divine Venerable who is a pillar of the human race for the sake of my Xuantian?”

Zhang Yuanjing exclaimed: “Has the Deity Transformation cultivator of the Tiandao Sect already arrived at the Hengduan Mountains?”

“That's right!” Tong Tianfu said in a low voice, “The pillar of the gods has appeared in the world. This is a rare sight that is hard to come by in ten thousand years, representing a great opportunity. Even Deity Transformation cultivators cannot help but be tempted!”

Zhang Yuanjing asked: “I wonder what kind of opportunity it is that can attract Deity Transformation cultivators to come down?”

Tong Tianfu said: “Besides breaking through the realm and restarting the great path, what other opportunity can make them leave the mountain in person! It is said that the pillar of the gods connects to small worlds outside the sky, and these small worlds may be ancient relics, hiding treasures of flying immortals, or they may be newly born small worlds that can be used for Deity Transformation advancement.”

“Deity Transformation advancement! How big is that small world!” Zhang Yuanjing blurted out.

“I don't know how big it is. However, even if there is only a tiny bit of possibility, Deity Transformation existences will not give up,” Tong Tianfu said. “For a Divine Venerable standing at the pinnacle of the world, there is nothing more important to them than opening the shackles of heaven and earth.”

Zhang Yuanjing said: “If this is the case, will Deity Transformation cultivators fight each other? This time, the demon race in the Hengduan Mountains has an additional Deity Transformation cultivator. How will the Divine Venerable of the Tiandao Sect deal with it?”

Tong Tianfu laughed loudly: “How can Deity Transformation cultivators fight in person! With the spiritual energy of this world, if Deity Transformation cultivators fight a battle, before they can even determine the winner, their respective vitality will be exhausted, and it will take many years to recover.”

He paused and continued: “Moreover, the demon race has not been able to produce a new Deity Transformation cultivator. With the appearance of the pillar of the gods, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth has been depleted, which is no longer enough to support the appearance of another Deity Transformation cultivator. Therefore, news has come from the Hengduan Mountains that the great demon of the demon race who obtained the earth-grade spiritual object and had a perfect transformation has failed. Not only did he fail to achieve Deity Transformation, but he also suffered heavy damage due to the tyranny of the earth-grade spiritual object, destroying his foundation.”

Zhang Yuanjing sighed: “The demon race not producing a new Deity Transformation cultivator is naturally good news for the human race and the Southern Region, but it is not so beneficial for my Xuantian Sect! The Deity Transformation cultivator of the Tiandao Sect will not have to worry too much when dealing with my sect.”

Tong Tianfu said: “Everything has two sides. If the demon race produced two Deity Transformation cultivators, the Southern Region would have to completely rely on the Deity Transformation cultivator of the Tiandao Sect for protection, which would also be extremely unfavorable to my sect. The current situation is slightly better.”

Zhang Yuanjing nodded silently. Unless they had their own Deity Transformation cultivator, in this situation, they would still be at the mercy of others.

Seeing that he was silent, Tong Tianfu smiled and said: “Deity Transformation cultivators are still quite worried about personally attacking a certain sect. My Xuantian Sect has three magical spiritual treasures. If he takes action, he cannot say that he can retreat unscathed. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not take action personally. Therefore, what we have to deal with now is the Seven Cities Alliance's Deacon Hall.”

Zhang Yuanjing raised an eyebrow: “Fighting with the demon race?”

Tong Tianfu was surprised: “How do you know?”

Zhang Yuanjing said: “Tang Zhaoyang of Chaotianmen, does the Real Person know him?”

“Tang Zhaoyang?” Tong Tianfu's eyes suddenly became sharp. “He contacted you?”

Zhang Yuanjing nodded: “When I came out of Tiannan City, he caught up with me and talked about the fight with the demon race, asking me to stay in the Immortal City and not leave.”

Tong Tianfu smiled slightly: “He didn't attack you?”

“This disciple hid in the soil and did not come out to meet him,” Zhang Yuanjing said. “Judging from the Real Person's tone, this person seems to have some problems?”

Tong Tianfu snorted softly and said: “I can't say that there is a problem, but this person is sophisticated and skilled in handling people. He is well-connected in various major sects and forces in the Central and Southern Regions. He also maintains a close relationship with my sect on the surface, but he has never spoken for us in the struggle between my sect and the Thousand Swords Sect. Therefore, this person cannot be trusted, and Chaotianmen cannot be relied on as a strong ally!”

“In this case, his special pursuit to persuade me to return may have other plans? Could it be that he has already taken refuge in the Tiandao Sect?” Zhang Yuanjing asked suspiciously.

“Taking refuge may not be the case, but he may have been bought off with heavy profits.” Tong Tianfu walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. “This person is a speculator who will never tie himself and Chaotianmen to any faction to serve others. Yuan Jing, if you meet this person again, you must be careful and deal with him cautiously, neither offending him nor being deceived.”

“This disciple understands,” Zhang Yuanjing nodded.

Tong Tianfu smiled: “I am relieved that Yuan Jing acts cautiously. What did Tang Zhaoyang want you to do in the fight with the demon race?”

“He said that the human race and the demon race would each select a group of Core Formation or Demon Core Perfection cultivators to fight one-on-one or in a melee, but he only said that it was the Deacon Hall's idea and that they would have to gather all the cultivators and fight a few battles with the demon race before proposing this idea. Has an agreement been reached now?” Zhang Yuanjing said slowly.

Tong Tianfu nodded: “That's right. However, it is not the previous idea, but a arena set up under the pillar of the gods, where Core Formation cultivators and Demon Core demons搶擂, and whichever side occupies the longer time wins!”

As soon as Zhang Yuanjing heard this, he frowned: “Doesn't this mean that many Core Formation cultivators will die!”

Tong Tianfu sighed: “This battle concerns the needs of Deity Transformation cultivators and the expectations of many Nascent Souls. No matter how many Core Formation cultivators die, it is worth it! Moreover, major sects from various regions have to rush to the front. If it is discovered that any sect's Core Formation Perfection cultivators have not participated, the Seven Cities Alliance's Deacon Hall will take action to sanction them. That is why I am so anxious to find you! Yuan Jing, you have to go there!”

“When will it end?” Zhang Yuanjing asked in a deep voice.

“It started two years ago and will last for twenty years!”
