Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 370 Fun
The Dao Realm.

Xu Xuan returned to his position, and with a thought, he landed back in the hall from that void. His previous exploration had already revealed many secrets to him.

'Unfortunately, we can only see the general outline; we can't see the specific locations of these grottoes.'

Ancient grotto-heavens were often hidden in the vast emptiness, and no one had been able to find them even after tens of thousands of years. Even for a true sage, it was extremely difficult to determine their location.

However, the Guandao Hall truly offers a panoramic view of the heavens, looking up at the Great Luo and down at the Great Void, even overlooking the Sumeru Buddha Land and the Lesser Yin Immortal Heaven, which is truly wondrous.

'Even magical treasures probably don't possess such power.'

He was now certain that the former owner of this realm must have been an immortal or higher, but he didn't know why he had fallen to his current state.

Within the Dao Realm, all was at peace. He walked out of the Dao Guan Hall and stood before the Heavenly Stele.

The stele records many lineages of Taoism. Previously, a new lineage called "Dry Yang" was added, which is the opposite of "Cold Yin". At this time, no other changes have occurred.

Xu Xuan turned his gaze to the Ancestral Qi and the Four Symbols. There was only one name on the stele, nothing else. As for the Five Virtues and the Nine Qi, they were clearer, and some of their images could be seen. Most of them were familiar to Xu Xuan and had prominent lineages in the world.

'If the lineage changes in the future, this stele can be used to ascertain the situation.'

This Dao Realm has already produced quite a lot, including Taiyin and Xuanqi spiritual objects, which can already supply the needs of a cultivation sect. However, we need to think of a way to sell them.

With a thought, he returned to the outside world, settled the two demons, greed and lust, and now had some free time to look at the things Mu Xu had refined: a spiritual object and a spiritual essence.

The [Azure Merchant Cloud Gold] of Gui Water is a rare spiritual object in the Gui Water category. It has the wonderful effect of purifying the mind and spirit, and is free from worldly defilement.

He planned to keep this item, in case Wen Si'an needed a Purple Mansion spiritual object to break through in the future, he could use this Cloud Gold.

The remaining spiritual essence is rather ordinary; it is the [Soaring Wind] of the Pure Qi path, which can enhance the speed of flight. Xu Xuan himself has no need for it, but he can refine the [Unmoored Boat] within the sect to advance its rank. This matter can be left to Wen Guang.

'Warm Light'

Xu Xuan thought of the fire spirit and his heart stirred slightly. He was now close to cultivating the [Crimson Origin Fire], which was a Purple Mansion Fire. If Wen Guang swallowed it, he should be able to recover to the level of Vajra of Wish Power.

Reaching this level not only improves combat power, but most importantly, it allows him to deal with these mysterious spiritual objects, and his weapon-refining skills also improve.

The only problem is that [Crimson Fire Elimination] belongs to the Fire Crow lineage. When refined by gentle light, it will inevitably reveal some characteristics, which will be noticed by others.

If it is to be transformed with Xuanqi, one needs to have a sufficient understanding of Bing fire. Transforming foundation-building spiritual objects is naturally simple, but spiritual objects in the Purple Mansion have already merged with supernatural imagery. Various changes require a high level of corresponding cultivation.

'If this path doesn't work, let's see if we can obtain another Purple Mansion Fire for Wen Guang to refine.'

Xu Xuan felt somewhat troubled. Among the five spiritual objects, the spiritual fire should be the most valuable. It's not that it has any more wonders than the other spiritual objects, but both alchemy and artifact crafting have demand for it, so its value naturally increases.

The fire crow only gave him a small flame at first, and it took various opportunities over the years to cultivate it. Otherwise, how could he have obtained a Purple Mansion Spirit Fire?
However, if Wen Guang recovers, he will be a top-notch help. If he does not have the methods of the Tai Zhen Sect at that time, Xu Xuan also wants to teach this Fire Spirit a seal script so that he can enter the Dao Realm and refine weapons, which will make things much easier.

A sound came from outside the hall, interrupting Xu Xuan's thoughts. He saw a woman in a white dress walk out from the doorway. Her eyes were like autumn lakes, she wore a green jade magic sword, and her demeanor was cold and aloof.

"Si'an".

Xu Xuan nodded slightly upon seeing the newcomer. Wen Si'an glanced at him and said only:

“I recently received news that someone in the north seems to have seen traces of Qionghe, but for some reason, they have not come to see me.”

"Qionghe, has this person returned?"

Upon hearing this name, Xu Xuan recalled the agreement they made years ago. Unfortunately, of the three tribes of barbarians who migrated to Qionghe during the chaos of the time, only a thousand remained.

He never mistreated these barbarians, recruiting many into his sect and educating them. Now they are considered a force in the mountains.

As for Qionghe, he is of the Fuyi bloodline and is a relative of Wen Si'an. It was agreed that he would lead Wen Si'an to the ancestral land when she reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Now that Wen Si'an has reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he has finally found a trace of her.

“Her identity is secretive, and perhaps there are reasons she cannot speak of. I have already sent someone north to see if we can obtain any further news of her.” Wen Si’an was quite concerned about this relative, and Xu Xuan nodded, entrusting the matter to her. The two talked for a short while, and just as Wen Si’an was about to leave, Xu Xuan stopped her and asked in a low voice:

"I happen to have something to ask you today."

Wen Si'an looked somewhat puzzled, but still stood still and simply smiled:
"What is it? Please speak frankly, Senior Brother."

This scene reminded Xu Xuan of the past, and he felt a pang of emotion. The past seemed like yesterday.

"Do you possess the heart of a supernatural being?"

He spoke calmly, without putting any pressure on the other party. Xu Xuan had not thought about this before, but now that he had a Gui Water spiritual object, all that was left was the cultivation method.

The Purple Mansion Technique of 【Prayer Dance】 belongs to Shang Yang and is also recorded in Yunlu Sect. If we go to search for it, there will still be some clues. Xu Xuan naturally had this thought.

"Supernatural powers are difficult to achieve. For now, I will do my best for the sect while still in the Foundation Establishment stage. If one day I am required to achieve them, I will naturally give it a try."

“If we’re talking about talent, Fayan is the one who truly has the potential to reach the Purple Mansion realm. Senior brother, you should plan more for his path to enlightenment; that’s the right way.”

After Wen Si'an finished speaking, he took his leave. Xu Xuan's mind stirred slightly. If it was true that someone in the sect could achieve the Purple Mansion realm, Fa Yan would have the greatest chance.

In terms of destiny, talent, cultivation, and even temperament, this disciple is an excellent choice. What he lacks now is a spiritual object and a cultivation technique.

Xu Xuan's mind stirred, and silver lightning flashed in his eyes, indicating that he had already figured out where to get it.

Qingwu Dao, a famous earth-nourishing immortal sect in Dali, was the one that ambushed his disciple back then. He would never forget such a grudge. The [Rang'an] True Person of this sect had only recently broken through and was not a force to be reckoned with. Xu Xuan had his physical body removed, leaving only a trace of his true spirit to escape.

The remaining True Person, Wei Zhaojia, is a senior mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator with considerable skill. However, Xu Xuan has no intention of backing down. Once Wei Zhaojia has cultivated another divine ability, Xu Xuan will definitely come to him with his sword and give him a good sparring match.

The hall fell silent again. Xu Xuan took out the Taoist book and was about to study the scriptures when he sensed two auras emanating from the mountain, indicating that someone had broken through.

A furious and violent roar, accompanied by a booming black fire, came from a side peak. The faint sound of a man's howl could be heard; it was Liang Yong, the protector who had already broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Immediately following, another aura emerged, extremely subtle, emitting a faint light. It lurked in the mountains and traveled all the way to the front of the hall, where it stopped without entering. It remained under Xu Xuan's spiritual perception from beginning to end.

Kongkong'er, this "ancient person" who came from the Blessed Land of White Paper, was perhaps competing with Liang Yong, and at the same time broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He was walking in the Netherworld and had just arrived in front of the palace.

Xu Xuan looked over, and a flash of silver lightning revealed Kong Kong'er's figure, making it impossible for her to hide any longer.

"I've seen the real person."

Kong Kong'er looked somewhat embarrassed. His face was originally quite noble, like that of a scion of a noble family, but it seemed out of place given his thieving behavior.

"Guardian has broken through to the late stage; may I ask what brings you here?"

Xu Xuan's gaze darkened slightly. His attitude towards Kong Kong'er was quite complicated. After all, her background was too shocking. She was from the First Blessed Land and a chivalrous knight-errant of the court, just like a character from a storybook.

However, this person was truly capable and had contributed a lot to the sect. Together with Liang Yong, one openly and the other covertly, they were the main force of the sect, and many affairs were handled by the two of them.

"Reporting to the Master, I recently heard that the sect is sending someone to the Western Sea, and I'd like to go with them. I wonder if that would be approved?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan only asked:
"Why did the Dharma Protector volunteer for this task?"

Kong Kong'er raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. A cold wind blew through the hall, the dim light dimmed, and ink gradually spread around him, making him seem as if he were not of this world.

There's no other reason, it's just...

He spoke at this moment, his voice hoarse and low:

"It's just for fun."
