Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 460 Seeking mystery
The Dao Realm.

The clear air circulated, and the mysterious wind blew, carrying the words of demons into the wind, causing Xu Xuan's heart to surge with excitement. The two of them were at the edge of the sky, where they could see the celestial officials and goddesses coming and going below.

"She Lei is the primordial thunder, which is the manifestation of the primordial Qi of the Thunder Ancestor. 'Primordial' means first or initial, hence morality is established first, and all self-cultivation follows, which must be followed."

"Since we have the [Primordial Thunder], we can also seek the [Mysterious Thunder]. If others talk about these things, they are just dreaming and empty talk. Even the Golden Core stage is not enough. Only immortals have a chance."

“But you are different. You have received the blessing of Taiqing and the dragon body, which is a mysterious incarnation.”

Tian Tuo's eyes shone brightly, and his tone gradually became excited. Even with his level of cultivation, he was deeply moved when talking about such an important matter.

"If one could reside in the thunder in the form of a dragon, and ascend the earthly thunder in a single instant in human form, by leveraging the intent of [synthesis], and with the aid of this immortal stele, perhaps there would be an opportunity to obtain the 'Mysterious Thunder.'"

"Once that happens, there will be a chance to escape, and it might even be the path to immortality."

Xu Xuan was stunned by the old demon's almost insane idea; he still knew nothing about the Golden Core realm.

The so-called pursuit of the profound is far too vague, and even the pursuit of gold is uncertain, yet Tian Tuo has already thought of this.

"The prerequisite for this is that a dragon's body can ascend to the [Jianhe] realm, and a human body can cultivate to the Purple Peak, or even seek the Society. This step alone is probably extremely difficult."

He was not swayed by the prospect described by Tian Tuo, but instead began to seriously consider the intricacies of the matter. He could not see clearly the Golden Core, but he already understood the schemes within the Purple Mansion.

"The matter of the Thunder Palace is not only being guarded against in the heavens, but the lords of this realm also do not want it to happen again. However, they do not want the Thunder Palace to truly lose its chance of returning. Maintaining the status quo is the only way to keep the heavens in check."

Tian Tuo's voice grew colder, and he continued:

"As long as the Thunder Palace Immortal Lord has not truly perished and still has a chance to return, the heavens will always be much more cautious in their actions, even with immortals in charge."

"The attitude of [Xuanhun] on the Zhenlei position is still unknown, but the great ones in the Immortal Heaven are plotting divine thunder to control this path. Naturally, some Golden Core cultivators in this world are dissatisfied and want to elect a Zidian of the Shelei to counterbalance this."

"If one can follow the general trend of the world, there is always an opportunity to seek a position. As for the dragon's body, one must seek to achieve [mutual harmony], and even in the future when one ascends to a position of power, one can take the initiative."

At this moment, Xu Xuan remembered the "Book of Suspended Heavenly Thunder" and immediately discussed the matter in detail with Tian Tuo.

"True Lord Xuanhun, what is your intention in using this method?"

Tian Tuo's gaze grew increasingly gloomy. He had read this Taoist book but had gained no insight into it.

“This sir is different from the foot. He may be seeking a way to escape. This will naturally be a great help to you. First seek the position of honor, then the position of fruition, and only when you completely control Zhen Lei will you have the means to seek the profound.”

"Those in the highest position can be promoted to higher ranks, but those in the lowest ranks cannot."

Xu Xuan's heart stirred. This Xuanhun True Monarch must be one of the best among the Golden Core cultivators. His position in the Golden Core realm is extremely secure. If he doesn't want to, probably no one in the world can take his place.

'This Thunderclap Fruit position is probably not easy to hold; there must be hidden dangers. Otherwise, why would this lord bother to escape?'

Xu Xuan had a variety of thoughts. If the method of the Immortal Heaven's plan to use Thunder was to firmly control Shen Zhen, then [Xuan Hun], as the oldest among the Golden Core cultivators, would be untouchable. However, a newly promoted True Monarch was a different story.

"However, there is one more thing. If Heaven, in order to seek peace, were to simply kill these Purple Mansions that have the potential to seek divine intervention, shake the heavens, and establish the celestial order, wouldn't that be more convenient and less strenuous?"

This matter weighed heavily on Xu Xuan's mind, like a dark cloud, but Tian Tuo only sneered:
"A temporary halt only brings temporary peace. It's better to eliminate future troubles permanently. After all, that person is a Celestial Lord. Does He really just do nothing and wait outside?"

"The matter of Thunder Palace will inevitably be decided by the next generation of Thunder Dao Golden Core cultivators. Whether it will be restored, destroyed, or the status quo maintained depends on the struggle among the cultivators."

Xu Xuan's mind gradually cleared, as if the clouds had parted and he had gained a clear understanding.

"One must first ascend to the Throne of Thunder in dragon form, then attain the Fruit, and finally use human form to strike the Righteous Position of the Earthly Thunder, in order to seek the Profound Thunder." He had a deep understanding of the changes in the Metal position between Thunder and Thunder, and after a moment's thought, he simply said:
"The position of [Jianhe] connects to the Shelei, and this golden position is feared by many. If the dragon body seeks [Huoshan], there will naturally be less resistance, but if it seeks [Jianhe], it is absolutely impossible without the support of a great person."

"If one seeks gold through the dragon's body, one must use the appearance of seeking [Huo Shan] to deceive the cultivators, and ascend to [Jian He] at the last moment. However, if the thunder does not appear and one ascends to [Jian], one will perish. How can one then prove it?"

Tian Tuo's eyes brightened slightly, and he chuckled. Seeing that Xu Xuan could instantly guess the key to the matter, he was quite satisfied.

"The position of the Director of Robbery is truly divided into the position of the Earthly Thunder [Punishment and Release] and the Sword Dao [Robbery Method]. As for [Transformation and Integration], although there are theories about it, no one has been able to prove it until the birth of the True Lord of Transformation in the North Sea."

"Do you know how he attained enlightenment when the Thunder God was all alone, accomplishing a feat that no one in the Thunder Palace could achieve?"

"What methods are used?"

Xu Xuan had many thoughts in his mind. As Tian Tuo had said before, the path of She Lei was strictly guarded. How did Shang Jian attain the supreme status of She Zhen?

"He was able to achieve this because, firstly, he was lifted up by the chaos. This Golden Core cultivator, with his own strength, was able to suppress all kinds of conflicts of interest within the Daoist lineage. His methods were close to those of an immortal, thus creating an opportunity for this Supreme True Lord to attain the Dao."

"Secondly, there is the metal element. When Shang Jian was a Purple Mansion, he obtained a metal element, a unique metal element that had never appeared in the world before."

Tian Tuo looked at Xu Xuan, his golden eyes clearer than ever before. His voice raged across the world, like the chanting of demons, echoing from every direction.

"【Mysterious Unity of Nature】".

Xu Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. The celestial talisman that had transformed into the Thunder Tree was shaking violently, and a line of ancient characters formed by lightning was faintly visible.

"The profound Qi and the wondrous Dao, Yin and Yang interact, thunder without blame, [the profound one unites the supreme position]."

He looked at the thunder tree in the distance, and now he understood where his entanglement with Shang Jian lay. He murmured:

"So that's how it is. It's always been here."

Tian Tuo began to laugh wildly, unrestrainedly, his golden eyes shining brightly, like two great suns rising, filling the space with the golden-white light of the Lesser Yang.

"This is cause and effect. In the past, Shangjian attained enlightenment through this very nature. If you do the same thing today, the outcome is still unknown."

"If you were to attain enlightenment in the future as a dragon, and you were to produce this golden essence from Shangjian, it would be enough to terrify all cultivators. Whether you succeed or not, the great figures in heaven would also be filled with fear."

"Even if you gentlemen are highly skilled in calculation, you certainly cannot calculate 'Mysterious Qi,' you cannot calculate 'Taiqing,' and you cannot calculate the whereabouts of this golden essence, therefore—"

"I can't predict you!"

Within the Dao Realm, pure energy circulated, and the Lianhe Thunder Tree rose into the sky, its purple and white lightning swirling like dragons and snakes, its life force and the intent of destruction shifting uncertainly.

Xu Xuan silently looked at the thunder tree formed from gold, which was the only path to the Thunder God Temple in this world and the key to whether the Thunder Palace could reappear in the future.

"I don't seek society, I don't seek earthquakes, I will take it all."

"Seeking the profound."

His voice was drowned out by the rolling thunder.

Within the Dao Realm, pure energy surged ceaselessly, and many celestial officials and maidens who were carrying out their duties stopped and looked in alarm at the purple and white lightning in the sky.
