Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 428 A Fury of Water and Fire

Ren Hai.

In the main hall of Qinghe Palace, the light of the sea flickered and purple currents surged. The dragon on the jade throne slowly opened its eyes, its gaze fixed on the west, lost in thought.

'Qing Hongdao.'

As he was thinking about this immortal path, he saw the void shatter open, golden lightning cascading down the ground, and a man in bronze armor stepped out from it. He was composed, his eyes flashing with lightning, and he had the air of a general. It was none other than Bo Chang from the Purple Mansion sent by Mingze.

This Tengshe descended from the cave abyss with his divine soul, and later recreated his physical body with the help of blood and qi. He possessed decent divine thunder magic and could be considered a close minister and general cultivated by the Tianhui lineage for Xu Xuan.

He stepped forward, holding a shrunken jade pool of water in his hands. Inside was a raging black flame that occasionally transformed into arrows and venomous snakes—this was the [Great Wrathful Beast Flame].

"Your Majesty, this supreme fire has been brought."

Bo Changsheng was extremely respectful. Xu Xuan, sitting on the jade throne, nodded slightly and allowed him to go out first and put down the supreme fire in the jade pool.

Xu Xuan flipped his hand and took out a jade slip. The above text was in Sanskrit, and the Chinese translation next to it read "The Threefold Water and Fire Refining Method," which was given to him by the Dragon Girl Ashe.

After opening the jade slip, he sensed it slightly and felt an imperceptible aura faintly falling on it, similar to the dragon molt he had seen before.

'Adults, turn it over.'

He had some suspicions at this point. The Dragon Maiden Ashe had previously said that the method of mixing water and fire had been lost, but then she took out this object. It was probably not her intention.

Rather, it was at the behest of the Dragon Lord that this secret manual of the [Beast Lord] ritual was handed over to Xu Xuan, implicitly suggesting that he should refine it into a combination of water and fire.

The Three Ranks of Water and Fire are the three stages of transformation of the Great Heavenly Water and Fire. They should be expressed in words, reflected in thoughts, and manifested in the eyes, in accordance with the true Dharma.

At this time, he had already prepared many spiritual items needed to regulate water and fire, all of which were at the Foundation Establishment level, involving Gen Earth, Zhou Chen, Supreme Fire, Transformation Water, Pure Qi, Blood Qi, and even the most important Taiyin and Taiyang.

Xu Xuan flipped his hand and took out a Cold Moon and a Yang Stone. The former was the [Plain String Cold Moon] obtained from Mingze, and the latter was the Sun Crystal obtained from Kong Zhao. He flipped through the Daoist Canon and found that this item should be the [Dao Wang Hong Yang].

This precious stone is indeed valuable, but compared to the [Sun Crystal Seed] from which it was extracted, it is insignificant.

The Sun Crystal Seed is one of the most precious spiritual objects in the Purple Mansion of the Sun system. It can even help people achieve enlightenment. When the ancient Fire Virtue True Lord attained the same position as the Sun, he relied on this object.

"If what Pingxiu said is true, the one who adds 'constant light' to the Bing fire must be a Daoist master, a noble immortal, and according to the timeline, should have existed before the King of Chu."

Xu Xuan's heart stirred. Bing could not be separated. In ancient times, the fire of separation was tightly controlled by demons. Zhuque became an immortal and was known as the Great Sage, on par with Kunpeng, Jinwu, and Zhenlong.

However, the image of Bing Fire has not produced any great saints. It is likely that the demons above it perished long ago, unable to advance further, and their positions fell into the hands of humans.

His mind was gradually calming down. He cut off the moonlight and sunlight from the cold moon and the yang stone respectively, as spiritual objects for the foundation of the yin and yang paths.

With a gentle lift of his hand, he arranged the array according to the records of the refining method. The eight spiritual objects were then lifted up and rotated in turn to form a divine ring, corresponding to earth, water, wind, fire, space, sun, moon, and sacrifice.

Xu Xuan then threw the [Great Wrathful Beast Flame] into the divine ring, along with the Water Jade Pool.

"【Great Wrath of Heaven】, its palm produces little growth but destroys much. It is near the end of the primordial era, so the further the calamity goes, the more the water and fire produced by the 【Beast Lord】 will lean towards fire, and the greater its power will be."

As he recalled the text of this alchemy method, his heart stirred. Ding Fire could be called Calamity Fire, a term used in the immortal path, specifically designed to burn immortal cultivators. Like the She Thunder, it was a calamity that would afflict one's life.

The tribulation fire mentioned by Shi Xiu is the ultimate fire, which corresponds to the tribulation of heaven and earth. Therefore, it is violent and restless, and always has the intention of collapsing and destroying. Therefore, the longer time goes on, the more the water and fire generated by refining the [Beast Lord] will become stronger and weaker.

Xu Xuan took out a white fish that had only its tail left. It was the first thing he had obtained, the "Transforming Essence Water," which, in the words of the Sindhu, should be called the "Elixir of Immortality," a holy product for healing and prolonging life.

At this moment, he still had a complete [Transforming Essence Water], which he had not yet used, keeping it only for emergencies. The little bit he had left could be used to refine water and fire.

He raised his hand and sent the fish tail into the divine ring, activating his magic power to rotate the ring four times.

This imitates the concept of "Yugha" mentioned in the Maya Dharma, where the divine ring rotates four times, representing the four stages of the world's journey towards the end of an era.

Thus, water and fire gradually harmonized, black and white merged, and slowly transformed into a deep blue-black, with peculiar properties, like flowing flames. The surface tended to be stable, but the destructive energy within reached a terrifying level. The merging of water and fire took the shape of a lotus, and then the divine ring symbolizing earth, water, wind, fire, and the sun and moon gradually contracted, transforming into magnificent yet ferocious divine patterns, imprinted within this blue-black water and fire.

【Shāraṇī dāraṇī huā】This fire manifests in thought and is one of the three transformations of 【Mahāṇī dāraṇī huā】in the Purple Mansion. It can transform into various forms such as poisonous snakes, arrows, and lotus flowers. When a thought arises, water and fire fall.

An extremely terrifying power was concentrated within it, far surpassing any water, fire, or lightning that Xu Xuan had ever seen, whether it was the [Great Flame Fusion Fire], the [Purple Heavenly Thunder], or the [Faultless Profound Thunder].

If we were to discuss the most destructive spiritual objects among those of the Purple Mansion rank, this [Wrathful Water and Fire] would certainly be on the list.

'I'm afraid the spiritual fire born at the Fire Fruit level is at most only roughly equal in power to this water and fire.'

Xu Xuanxin sensed something. According to the records in this Water and Fire Refining Method, the Supreme Fire Rank, the [Great Beast] Rank, is even more powerful than the Fruit Rank.

He then put away the blue-black water and fire. He usually stored ordinary water, fire, and lightning in his inner vision and nourished them with his life force, but he stored this [Shuttering Wrath Water and Fire] in his mind.

“Anger can damage one’s mind, and only those with extremely high moral character can subdue it.”

He was reading the records on the jade slip in a low voice, but he had no intention of backing down. He simply swallowed the water and fire in one gulp.

After being absorbed into this water and fire, a surge of anger arose in Xu Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness, causing his soul to waver. Pure energy surged forth, suppressing this strange phenomenon.

A blue-black fire lotus divine mark gradually emerged from between his eyebrows, appearing terrifying and majestic. With a thought, a vast blue-black water and fire arose from the palace, transforming into poisonous snakes, arrows, and various terrifying and destructive scenes, displaying immense power.

"nice one."

Xu Xuan was slightly pleased. This power of water and fire could supplement some of his abilities. Apart from sword intent, the supernatural powers he was currently cultivating were not mainly focused on killing power, so there were still some hidden dangers.

【Zhentianqu】is a proper killing technique. Once mastered, it will have the power of thunderous heavenly drums, which is quite extraordinary. However, he cannot find the scripture right now.

[Cheng Wujiu] After these days of fighting, he has almost reached perfection and can begin the cultivation of the next supernatural power.

'Sword intent is powerful, but supernatural abilities are fundamental.'

There are ways to restrain sword intent, such as Shaoyin Locking Sword and Yuan Magnetic Bending Edge, which are somewhat effective against swordsmanship. He has not yet encountered any masters of these two arts, but he still needs to be wary.

With this combination of water and fire, along with lightning, his killing power remains formidable even without using his sword intent.

This [Shuttering Wrath Water and Fire] is similar in nature to the ultimate fire, but it has more variations, its power has increased considerably, and it requires very little magical power to activate.

Xu Xuan's mind calmed down a bit, and at this moment he thought of the thunder tree that the Immortal Talisman in his Qi Sea had transformed into. [Jianhe] was also a position of honor, and it had something in common with [Great Beast], but it was also different. With the two points corroborated, he gained a lot.

At this moment, the void shattered again, and Bo Chang stepped out from within. Somewhat anxious, he immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, a scaly demon king from beyond the Heavenly Pool requests an audience."

"Who is it? Just say I don't want to see you."

Xu Xuan didn't take it to heart. Ever since he occupied Tianchi and established Haidu, many demon kings from all directions came to see him, mostly asking for benefits, but he declined them all.

Bo Chang paused slightly, his expression changed, and he asked doubtfully:
"Your Majesty, he is a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator with the Four Divine Powers."

"Late stage of the Purple Mansion realm?"

Xu Xuan was puzzled. Besides the stolen text, were there other demonic creatures with such cultivation levels in the South Sea? He immediately asked:

"What is your background, and what is your Taoist name?"

"He is Bai Xuan, the Demon King of Baiqing Cave in the Great Li Dynasty, and a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator of the Cold Yin Dao."

As soon as Bo Chang finished speaking, the mysterious yin light on the jade throne changed, and a deep and majestic voice came from it.

"Bai Xuan? Just invite this demon king in; he's arrogant and conceited."
