Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 444 Taiqing
Fuzhong.

As the clear and expansive energy transformed, the pavilions and halls on all sides began to shine with brilliant light, and the sounds of bells and tripods resounded throughout the area.

The celestial sculpture in the center has a clear flow of energy and changing light, while the Heavenly Eye between the eyebrows is constantly pulsating, sometimes shining brightly like the sun, and sometimes pitch black, with all light disappearing.

Below, countless skeletons struggled, bull-headed and horse-faced figures walked, a chilling wind blew, and a dark, black thorn pierced through the air, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Each time this piercing beam shot out, it condensed into a deep, ghostly light, its power terrifying, almost reaching the limit that the Foundation Establishment realm could achieve.

Even the "Foolish Tiger," who had previously fought fiercely against numerous heroes and enjoyed a great reputation in Yan, was in mortal danger after taking this piercing blow, despite his body being as strong as metal.

Yinniang stood firm like a rock in the storm, her sword brimming with the energy of the vast ocean, and with a casual slash, she wiped out the eerie light from the spot where she stood.

The pure light of true qi surged, governing earth, water, wind, and fire, condensing into a cloud banner that stood behind her, constantly emitting mysterious light to resist the thorn of the Netherworld Ghost.

The power of their attacks continued to rise, seemingly without end.

Now, they have almost reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment realm. If the two of them were to come out now, the entire Foundation Establishment realm combined would probably not be enough to kill them.

Kongkong'er's face was grim as he emerged from the ghostly wind. His robes were somewhat disheveled, as they had been struck by earth, water, wind, and fire, and black blood flowed from them.

"Stop! Stop!"

He put away the [Du Yin] in his hand, his face somewhat distressed, staring at the ancient sword in Yin Niang's hand, its clear light gleaming, its pine-like patterns and ice-like texture, the vast energy flowing on the sword, sweeping away all ghostly light.

【Ancient Water】, a famous sword from the Feng Dynasty, was once sacrificed to a dragon king of the East Sea. It possesses the true Qi of the vast water and is the most powerful in terms of magic and can restrain the evil spirits of the underworld.

What the other party has now is a replica of the blessed land, but it is not much different from the real thing. It is just sealed at the Foundation Establishment level, but its wonders are still there.

"You took this sword and cultivated the [Immaculate Body] back then, it seems you were deliberately trying to deal with me and Jingjing'er. Even his Rainbow Body cultivation was countered."

Kong Kong'er's tone was resentful. The [Du Yin] in his hand was also transformed from his old killing weapon, but it was insignificant compared to the opponent's spirit sword.

"It's good that you understand. If I were to cultivate [See True Martial], you would suffer even more today."

Yinniang sheathed her sword, a beautiful smile appearing on her face. The aura between the two, which had almost reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment stage, gradually dissipated, returning to normal.

Kongkong'er simply lay down on the ground, as if giving up the struggle, looked up at the changing clouds in the sky, and whispered:
"What are you waiting for to achieve supernatural powers? Gongsun Xidu has already reached the Purple Mansion realm, cultivated back to the [Xihe] realm, and borrowed the [Yuejue] realm, enabling him to use two sword intents."

"With the mutual support of Kan and Li, and the blessing of Li fire, her achievements in this life will surely far surpass those of us."

Yinniang paced slowly, glancing at the blue Taoist book in the immortal statue's hand. Seeing that it was still there, she shook her head and whispered:

"I'm just waiting for this cave to descend, so that it will be easier for me to act when I'm in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"As for Gongsun, she was originally destined to be connected with the Yuejue Sword Clan. She received the teachings of the White Ape in the past, and was destined to be an important figure in the struggle between Li Liao and stir up the world's affairs."

"What you and I are involved in is nothing more than a 'shrine rivalry' and a 'chou seizing the sun' situation. Where would we find such an opportunity?"

She spoke softly, while Kongkong'er, standing beside her, did a somersault and sat on the ground, looking somewhat helpless.

"You still want to compete with me for the inheritance of Qingyuan Temple? Fuchen is not without the Dharma Body Technique, and Ding Huo's Dao Manifestation Body is still there."

Yinniang's face remained calm and composed; she simply said:
“It’s not as simple as just a Dharma body. Don’t you know where this great man is in the celestial realm? He only left this one lineage in the mortal world, and the meaning is already very clear.”

"Fu Chen wants to establish contact with the Immortal Heaven and make arrangements in advance, so he naturally has to give it a try."

Kongkong'er lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression. He only said in a deep voice:

Don't tell me these things.

His voice grew softer and softer until it became indistinct, and his entire body, like melting ink, began to merge with his shadow.

"you?"

Yinniang was slightly taken aback, but immediately reacted, riding the white clouds and rushing towards the immortal statue in an instant.

Beside the blue Taoist book, a ghostly breeze rose, and from it emerged a large hand formed from ghostly clouds. Due to the changes in the netherworld, it was formless and invisible, and in an instant, it took away the scroll of Taoist books.

As the pure energy circulated, the immortal statue turned to ashes, but the scroll of Taoist scriptures became even more wondrous, revealing several ancient characters.

"Qingyuan Miaodao Xuantan"

Kongkong'er was overjoyed. Looking at Yinniang chasing after him, he grinned and said loudly:

"I am a thief who never lingers, so please don't see me off, Nie Yinniang."

A captivating aura emanated from behind, filled with the light of true qi, with earth, water, wind, and fire rotating, wielding martial arts to vanquish demons, and a tortoise and snake intertwining their necks. A beam of white light rose from the north.

"【Xuanwu Subduing Demon Light】!"

As soon as this energy manifested, Kongkong'er fell from the Netherworld.

The woman behind him looked grim and charged forward with her sword. The aura of [Ancient Water] surged, and the blade sprouted a chilling white scale, as if it were about to transform into a dragon and leap out.

Kong Kong'er was terrified. He was now fully activating his immortal foundation, and five ghosts emerged to help him hide. However, the Dao light carrying the might of the Demon-Slaying Heaven swept over him and forced his whereabouts back out.

"Go!"

The woman behind him presented the sword in her hand. As the ancient sword left his hand, it was instantly surrounded by layers of sky-blue waves and pale white clouds, causing Kong Kong'er in front of him to pause.

The sword transformed into a ferocious and majestic white dragon, its scales and claws flashing, as it pounced down, stirring up gusts of evil wind. "That's enough, you."

At this moment, Kongkong'er was struck on the back by a stream of water. In an instant, it felt as if he had been crushed by a thousand pounds, his bones broke and his tendons snapped, and black blood flowed out.

The Vast Water is the manifest path of this world, the foundation upon which dragons establish themselves. Its power is immense, its nature vast and profound, capable of absorbing magical power. In terms of killing power alone, it can be compared to the ultimate fire.

"Fine, I knew your hands weren't clean."

Yinniang spoke calmly, riding the Hanshui Flood Dragon to attack, while simultaneously sweeping away the opponent with the Demon-Subduing Light, forcing them to be unable to enter the Netherworld again.

"What do you want!"

Kongkong'er was hit again, let out a wail, and hurriedly flew forward to avoid the dragon behind him.

"Passed down to me."

"No."

Kongkong'er spoke decisively, drawing out the [Du Yin] sword with a backhand motion. A surge of Yin energy rose from the sword, transforming into grave soil that absorbed the Han River.

"I've never seen you use the earth-laying spell before."

As Yinniang's voice deepened, the dragon riding the clouds and flowing water became even more wondrous, its white scales shimmering and its wooden horns rustling in the wind.

The dragon opened its mouth, and a ball of true qi light, as white as jade, condensed within, stirring up the earth, water, wind, and fire with terrifying power.

At this moment, neither of them concealed their abilities anymore. Their cultivation levels were approaching the limit of Foundation Establishment in just a few breaths, and there were even signs that they might exceed it.

They all soared into the sky at once, crashing through the Wu Guang, and fell from this secret realm.

From the perspective of many Purple Mansions in the Great Void, they were all staring at the blue Daoist book in Kongkong'er's hand, but most of them wisely looked away after seeing the writing on it.

"Head!"

Kong Kong called out loudly, and thunderclouds surged up, instantly lifting him up.

Xu Xuan moved with lightning speed, protecting Kongkong'er in an instant, while simultaneously unleashing his divine powers to intimidate the other cultivators.

Amidst the swirling eerie flames, a man in a crimson Taoist robe slowly approached, first protecting Yinniang, and the two locked eyes.

"Let him steal it."

Yinniang's tone was calm, showing no sign of joy or anger. An Xianhui nodded slightly and simply smiled:
"You should return to this residence first."

Ding Huo Zifu activated his magic power, and with a flash of yin light, sent him back into the secret realm.

He then turned to look at Xu Xuan on the other side, his brows furrowed slightly, and said coldly:
"Bring it here."

Guang Su stood to the side, seemingly trying to dissuade him, but Xu Xuan turned around and gestured for him to stop.

“It was taken by my family’s protector, fellow Daoist, you are being unreasonable.”

His voice was calm, as if he hadn't cared about the other person's identity at all. He took the Taoist book from Kongkong'er's hand, activated his magic power, and sent the protector back into the secret realm.

"How dare you!"

An Xianhui gently raised her hand, and a golden bow appeared, activating her divine power.

The light in the void dissipated, the sun and moon no longer shone, and all was plunged into deep darkness, with only a pair of dark red pupils opening and closing, and countless eerie flames surging.

Cold comes and heat goes, warmth and coolness change, life has an end, and life has its limit.

[Boiled Human Longevity Decoction]!
Xu Xuan had no more scruples in his heart. His disgust for Fu Chen and the old grudges of his sect filled his heart in an instant, but there was no anger, only a deep and calm feeling.

He slowly drew his sword, and as the [Dan Ting] was unsheathed, silver-white lightning appeared in the void, like swords, beams, and pillars, crisscrossing and conforming to the laws of heaven.

The pale gray sword pointed forward, sword intent arose, celestial laws descended, and the originally bright silver lightning in the void changed, transforming into deep black lightning, surrounded by silver light.

The Yin Fire in the Great Void dimmed, and An Xianhui's expression changed.

A terrifying sense of punishment had enveloped his supernatural powers, causing his originally perfect inner vision to become flawed and subject to the control of lightning.

[Punishing Yin and punishing Yang]!
The Earthly Thunder God is above, beyond the control of Yin and Yang, and beyond the transformation of the Five Virtues. He acts as Heaven's representative to carry out punishments and is in charge of the fundamental principles of Heavenly Calamities.

"Alright, let me ask She Lei for his advice today."

An Xianhui's gaze was gloomy. He activated his supernatural powers, and the Candle Yin Image's eyes opened and closed, changing between hot and cold, emanating a chilling aura.

Xu Xuan remained silent, then swung his sword, unleashing a torrent of lightning in the void, the black lightning swirling around the silver light engulfing the area.

Those present in the Purple Palace retreated hastily, fearing they would be struck by the tribulation lightning and yin fire, which would cost them their lives.

Within his dantian, the blue Daoist book opened on its own, its pure energy surging and manifesting as words.

【The Mysterious Dharma Body of Taiqing】.
