Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 448 Chronicles
Taixu.

The soft, white light of the millet soil illuminated all directions, shining everywhere and seeing everything. Just by manifesting here, it caused many purple palaces to appear from the void, unable to hide.

"What a profound and mysterious lineage."

Xu Xuan's supernatural powers activated spontaneously, yet there was a subtle resistance. The nature of the Earthly Thunder was as if it had been stimulated, and the Heavenly Laws were about to manifest.

The Five Virtues have always been subordinate to Yin and Yang, but this mysterious element of Earth can subtly rival the Four Symbols and even restrain the Earthly Thunder.

"That's natural. Earth element inherently suppresses other lineages, not to mention the two Earth elements of Wu and Ji, which are divided among the state."

"The Earth element of the Earthly Branch '戊' is indestructible, without any flaws, and possesses a complete nature. It combines offense and defense, making it a first-rate and powerful lineage. In terms of comprehensiveness alone, only the Yin and Yang can compare to it. The Earth element of the Earthly Branch '己' has the wonder of being a historian. Hidden in blessed lands, it is an even more first-rate immortal lineage."

Guang Su sighed, but Lu Yu, standing beside him, laughed:

"The Jia Wood Divine Power of the Qinghua Immortal Sect is directly countered by the Wu Earth, and it is also part of the Immortal lineage."

"It's not so much about restraint, but since the fall of Shu, I've been able to compete with this principle by utilizing the properties of things. If it's about fighting against external forces, then Earth is still the better choice."

This Qinghua Sect disciple cultivates Guangmu in his Purple Mansion, rather than Jiamu, which gave Xu Xuan some reason to speculate.

When the State of Qi was in power, the leader of the Wood Virtue Sect was the Yin Guang Palace. At that time, a branch of the sect was the Qing Hua Temple, which was the immortal sect.

The Great Li replaced the Qi, and the Li burned the Guangmu tree, while Qinghua Temple took this opportunity to advance to the Immortal Sect. With a Golden Core cultivator in charge, there were probably many exchanges of benefits involved.

It's even possible that this sect betrayed its superiors to gain its current status, but such things can only be speculated upon and should never be spoken of lightly.

Xu Xuan turned his gaze to this secret realm, where the mysterious light of the Earth element flowed erratically. He sensed it with his spiritual sense and found the location of Liu Xingfang and Zhao Xia.

At this time, Liu Xingfang acquired two more ancient magical artifacts, namely the Wutu Yuezhong (戊土岳钟) and the Qingqi Baozhu (清气宝珠). Both were ancient magical artifacts with extraordinary power. Right now, he and Zhao Xia were working together to compete for spiritual water in a dark and secluded Longyi Hanze (龙仪寒泽).

This body of water corresponds to the "Gathering Cold Lake," as it is water in the approaching winter, not yet frozen. It is yin water born from the yang of the Ren family. Although it is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, its abundance makes it a popular target for many cultivators.

"Your sect has a well-established lineage. This person cultivates both thunder magic and swordsmanship; he must be the son-in-law of the Wu family?"

Looking down, Lu Yu saw that the swordsman below was exceptionally skilled, possessing an extremely pure nature of thunder, just like the True Immortal Bijie beside him.

"Exactly."

Xu Xuan knew that the Wu family and the Shiyi Dao were connected, and he told them frankly.

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"The Great Red One Observation was passed down to Feng Xuan, and was transmitted by the True Lord Tian Bing Zhao Yuan Heng Guang. It obtained the Feng Xuan Sword Dao, the orthodox lineage of Bing Fire. The Feng Xuan Dao emphasizes pure cultivation, and the sword is drawn not for good or evil, but for the sake of the Dao.

"This path and the [Kalpa Method] are two extremes. They are almost completely detached from worldly affairs, and what they seek is the profound and the Dao. Fellow Daoist Xu, within this sect, are you prepared to continue this lineage, or will you focus on cultivating the Thunder God?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan was subtly moved. Currently, within the Dao Realm, there is the [Supreme Pavilion], which contains the complete inheritance of Feng Xuan's Dao, up to the Golden Core stage.

The other party's words had a different meaning. In ancient times, the changes in the orthodox tradition were mostly characterized by a decline followed by a revival. However, the position of the leader of this revival is worth considering.

'He's asking me whether I want to change my Dao lineage and go to Shelei.'

Xu Xuan could see clearly that although the She Lei was powerful and could allow one to roam freely within the Purple Mansion after mastering it, it involved too many things and almost none of them ended well.

The Venerable Suzheng of Fengdai met his demise, and the First Dao even began to comprehend the method of seeking immortality through the altar. How could they not want to cultivate the orthodox methods of the Thunder Palace?
I'm afraid they won't dare to repair it.

"Within our sect, we still take Bing Fire as the orthodox element. The next person to take charge of the sect will be my first disciple, who will cultivate the orthodox Bing Fire method. However, no one can achieve the profound and subtle methods of Xuan, and the lineage has been broken."

"As for She Lei, it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and I'm afraid it will not be passed down."

His voice deepened slightly as he took the opportunity to state his position: once he and Xingfang had settled their differences, there was no need to pass the matter on.

Lu Yu nodded slightly, understanding the other party's meaning, and did not ask any further questions. This True Man of the Tribulation Removal was indeed a smart man, and it was good that he understood the dangers of this lineage.

The vast emptiness was filled with soft, white light, which gathered and dispersed, illuminating the many hidden Purple Mansions within. Xu Xuan glanced at them and recognized almost none of them; they were probably all True Persons from the South.

“I have manifested, fellow Daoists. I shall take my leave first.”

Lu Yu's gaze sharpened, and she activated her supernatural powers. Countless emerald feathers drifted down, scattering among the blue clouds. The clear and pleasant sound resonated throughout the place, gathering all things and possessing the wonder of concealing life and calming the mind.

Supernatural power, [Gathering Feathers].

Lu Yu turned his gaze to the ever-changing light of the Earth above, and there seemed to be an ink pool flowing beside him. He lightly picked up a brush and made a stroke of ink.

As the image of the Green Pond Ink Pool gradually stabilized, the figure of the First Daoist True Man gradually merged with the soft white light of the Earth, becoming one with it.

Supernatural powers, [Lutang Ink].

These two supernatural powers were incredibly profound and could draw in the Earthly Branches, instantly allowing Lu Yu to escape into them and head towards this patch of mysterious Earthly light.

Most of the other Purple Mansions were unable to enter this area of ​​light because they did not know the proper method. Xu Xuan and Guang Su tried several times but could not enter, so they had to give up.

"Master Luyu is fully prepared. This dish made of Earth should be his."

Guang Su sighed, but then saw fire rising in another part of the void. A man in a crimson Taoist robe strode in, his appearance heroic, with the light of summer and the light of dawn changing around him.

"It is Zhu Xia Zhenren of the Song family."

Xu Xuan naturally recognized this person; they had dealt with each other quite a bit in the past. Now, the other party had also achieved the Purple Mansion realm and possessed both the Li Fire and Divine Powers, making him quite extraordinary.

Song Shiyi rode the Li Fire, and the light of Chongming attached to it changed. Surprisingly, it also connected with this fluctuating Ji Earth Xuan Light and disappeared into it.

"It seems the decision has been made between these two."

Xu Xuan looked around and saw that it was Song Shi and Shi Yi fighting. Most of the Purple Mansions lost their desire to try and instead looked at the secret realm that was rapidly collapsing.

The original formation gradually dissipated, and the mansion was gradually exposed to the cultivators. Many cultivators from overseas were already eager to make their move and wanted to participate in the battle themselves.

It is unknown who made the first move, but water and fire pierced the sky, and supernatural powers changed, causing this secret realm to collapse completely. Xu Xuan and Guang Su both used their supernatural powers to bring back their own Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Liu Xingfang and Zhao Xia landed in the clouds, still somewhat dazed. As for Kongkong'er, she was nowhere to be seen, but Xu Xuan wasn't too worried.

"Master."

Xingfang stepped forward, his voice filled with joy, clearly indicating that he had made a considerable gain. He then handed the [Taiyue Wangchun Terrace] back to Xu Xuan.

"You may leave with this Protector Zhao and wait outside." Xu Xuan's voice deepened, and he instantly reached a consensus with Guang Su beside him. The two gave a few instructions and then used their supernatural powers to send the two away from this place and land in Langzhong County.

Currently, many Purple Mansions are engaged in combat, no longer peaceful as before. This secret realm collapsed too quickly, causing these Purple Mansions to lose their leisurely preparations and directly take action.

"Each goes their own way."

Guang Su muttered a sentence in a low voice, then rode the black and red magic light and fled to the side.

A blue crow flew out from her shoulder, spread its wings, and let out a series of shrill and strange cries. Then, a powerful light, as hard as metal and stone, flowed around it, repelling those around it.

Those from the Immortal Sect and the Purple Mansion cannot be treated with ordinary standards. Guang Su possesses at least two spiritual treasures, enough to contend with a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. Given his status, all the cultivators retreated.

"Ji Suyun!"

A loud shout came from the void, and a richly dressed man riding black fire rushed over. He had a stern demeanor and, disregarding the other party's identity, began to fight Guang Su.

Guang Su's gaze grew cold. Upon seeing this person, he said in a deep voice:
Changsun Yi

"This is a private matter for my sect; fellow Daoist, there's no need for you to come and offer assistance."

Guang Su whispered, stopping Xu Xuan from drawing his sword and stepping forward. She and the Purple Mansion cultivator who had reached the level of fire were locked in a fierce battle, each using their own methods, and for a time no one dared to approach.

As the silver lightning pulsed, Xu Xuan's gaze swept across the area and instantly spotted a pool of ever-flowing pure qi, condensed like water, which resonated subtly within his body with the "Mysterious Talks on the Pure Source."

Several Purple Mansions were vying for this pool of pure Qi when Xu Xuan rode away on lightning. Black and white lightning surged, and an extremely sharp sword intent was slightly revealed. The few who were still fighting fled at the sight of him.

One of the men, dressed in black robes, cultivated blood qi and commanded a group of blood-winged, black-patterned creatures.

He was surrounded by demonic energy, possessed a powerful physical body, and wielded a blood-red thorn. Every time he made a move, he would repel many people in the surrounding area.

Just as he was about to obtain the pool of pure energy, the demonic cultivator had a smug look on his face. But when he turned his gaze, he saw black and white lightning surging in from all directions.

The Blood Qi Purple Mansion vanished in an instant, as if it had seen a ghost, abandoning even the spiritual objects.

'Blood Qi. '

Xu Xuan's mind stirred slightly. This person seemed to be a cultivator from the Great Li, but he cultivated the Blood Qi Demonic Path. How could he have managed to blend into this group of immortal cultivators?

However, with the Heavenly Law already established, the power of the Thunder God to restrain Blood Qi has become increasingly formidable. Not to mention a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, even if a Blood Qi Purple Mansion cultivator with four supernatural powers were to come, Xu Xuan would find it effortless.

He gathered this pool of pure energy, sensed it slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

【Qing Hong Bao Qi】is precisely the pure Qi needed for cultivating the Taiqing Dharma Body.

The cultivation of this Dharma Body requires a great many spiritual items, which is difficult for Xu Xuan to master with his current wealth. This can be considered as making up for a deficiency.

Just as he was about to search again, the light of the Earthly Branch in the sky began to tremble. First, a burst of fire fell, and then Song Shiyi activated his supernatural powers and escaped in an instant, seemingly having suffered a great loss.

'It seems this item belongs to the First Dao.'

Xu Xuan's thoughts shifted, and he looked upwards. The spiritual light of the Gui Water changed, and True Man Luyu emerged from it, his expression quite grim. He then flew away on the wind and shouted at the assembled cultivators:
"Something's happened here, retreat immediately!"

The mysterious light of the Earth element above began to sway, faintly possessing the power to draw everyone into it. Most of the Purple Mansions present were shrewd and knew the gravity of the situation, and they sensed something was wrong, so they all fled.

Guang Su and Changsun Yi, who were fighting in the distance, also stopped and dispersed.

Xu Xuan even rode on lightning, wishing he could sprout wings, and fled straight to the edge of the void. The reason was that a figure was faintly visible in the wisp of earthly light above.

"Dashu"

A long, drawn-out sigh rang out, and a person gradually emerged from the dark light of the Earthly Branch. His face was made of ink, his body of pure Earth, and he wore an ochre-yellow robe of the Black Bird King, a magnificent crown, and golden blood flowed from his eyes.

The Earth element (戊土) possesses supernatural powers and transformations, manifesting as a black bird, a walled city, and a dammed field. It measures the heavens and the earth, performs sacrifices to the five directions, and embodies the will of the people, remaining steadfast for eternity.

The aura of a peak Purple Mansion cultivator was faintly emanating, which stabilized the surrounding void. The radiance of the Earthly Light filled the space, causing people to feel apprehensive.

There were about ten Purple Mansion cultivators present, and none of them could escape. Even the Immortal Sect's Guang Su and Lu Yu Zhenren, and the Emperor's family's Zhu Xia Zhenren, were unable to get away.

From another part of the void, the flow of clear and turbid waters shifted, and a woman carrying a bronze sword case slowly emerged. She had a face as beautiful as a peach blossom and eyes as bright as stars.

Gongsun Xi slowly raised his head and looked at the human figure that seemed to have stepped out of ancient history.

"please."

He summoned the bronze sword box, and a cold light flashed out in an instant. The sword intent changed, causing the [Cave Transformation Sword Box] within Xu Xuan's body, which had been dormant for a long time, to begin to pulsate.

'The more ruthless she was, the more she got what she wanted.'

Xu Xuan's heart stirred. This sword box was an important token of the Yuejue Sword Clan, and it had already fallen into Gongsun Xi's hands.

The figure above activated its supernatural powers, and the Wu Earth, like a city wall and a dike, blocked the sword's attack despite the sword's slashing effect, thanks to Qing Wu Xuan's transformation.

Xu Xuan's gaze sharpened slightly. This power was worlds apart from the sword strike that Yuan Gong used to kill Ling You in the past. Yet, when this sword intent was unleashed, the Cave Transformation Sword Box did not sense it at all.

The sword case is real, but the sword intent is fake.

He instantly discerned the mystery: the sword intent was merely a facade, and the aura it exuded resembled that of the Blessed Land of Blank Paper—clearly a forgery.

Even so, this imitation sword intent in Gongsun Xi's hands was still able to shake the shadow of the Earth element, which was comparable to the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, and its power was extraordinary.

"Chen Weiyi".

Seeing that her attack had failed and the light in the sword case had dimmed considerably, Gongsun Xi immediately revealed the origin of the figure.

It is the master of this place, King Junfeng, who has now used some unknown means to briefly manifest himself by taking advantage of the wonders of this land.

This figure, comparable to the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, slightly turned his head, golden blood flowing in his eyes, looking towards Xu Xuan's location. He only said in a deep voice:
"Shu"

Before he could finish speaking, the figure collapsed instantly, revealing three pages of white paper with flowing mystical light. Lu Yu and Zhu Xia acted simultaneously, each taking one page.

Another page, however, shimmered with a spiritual light and headed straight for Xu Xuan's location, landing in his hand and causing him to look somewhat strange.

"This is?"
