Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 489 The Mystery of Qingyi
Below Ciyang Slope, inside the cave.

The light of the hidden gold gradually subsided, and the mercury-like clouds churned and swelled. Xu Xuan's appearance changed to that of a young man, and his aura improved considerably, but his white hair had not yet returned to normal.

'The body that nourishes treasures and dispels calamities is the Dharma body of the Jin Fan Dao lineage. I wonder what its connection is with the Duobao Palace?'

Xu Xuan then thought of that Master Baoqiu, who had left a very deep impression on him. His cultivation and refinement were far superior to many Purple Mansions in Dali.

But the external tremors interrupted his thoughts. He saw the dark energy outside the cave gradually condense, swirling up and transforming into a black crow, wailing and wailing, before flying into the cave and finally dissipating into the mercury-like clouds.

Xu Xuan's golden body sensed something, and the sun's light between his brows pulsed intensely, a feeling of grief gradually welling up in his heart.

What kind of unexpected event has occurred?

He then looked at Wei Shuang beside him, whose robes fluttered in the autumn wind, and gestured for Xu Xuan to follow him out first.

As the two stepped out of the cave, they saw dark shadows swirling beneath the loess plateau, while above, the sun shone brightly, creating a stark contrast between light and darkness.

"Guanzhong was the capital of the Xia dynasty in the past, and this place called [Ciyangpo] also has a history."

Wei Shuang sighed with emotion, saying:

"This place involves the two Golden Crows, Zhu Ci and Jiao Yang. The events of the past still resonate today."

"The Ten Golden Crows are different from the Dragon Lords who were differentiated from the True Dragon. They were not born with golden cores. They ascended to the throne in turn after the Great Xia Dynasty was unified, thanks to the wonders of the Immortal Dynasty. Even though they hated each other deeply and killed each other severely later, there was still a sense of kinship between them."

Upon hearing this, Tian Tuo secretly echoed his sentiment, only sneering:

"As you Dragon Lords are born with golden cores, how you view the dragons around you is another matter entirely. How much affection you have for them is anyone's guess."

At this moment, Xu Xuan and Wei Shuang had already taken off on the wind, and were able to take in the entire view of Ciyang Slope. The separation of the dark energy and the sun was quite mysterious, which made the Heavenly Eye between the eyebrows of this She Lei Sword Immortal even more painful.

"When Crown Prince Zhu Ci ascended to the throne, he was reincarnated as a human, which aroused dissatisfaction among many demons. They secretly resented him, saying that he had given away the foundation of the demon dynasty to the immortals for nothing."

"At that time, among the ten Golden Crows, only the first two had attained the Golden Core stage. When the Demon Lord of Jiaoyang heard the rumors, he took action for his brother and suppressed the most troublesome one, Tianxiao, almost eating him alive."

When talking about these old stories, Wei Shuang showed a hint of emotion.

"Legend has it that when Jiaoyang returned, he realized he had broken the law and stayed in this place to await the divine emperor's punishment. It was Prince Zhu Ci who came here and relieved him of the punishment. This place was then called Ciyang Slope, meaning to ask the sun to relieve the punishment. Even now, there is still a sense of remembrance."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan was deeply moved. Having spent many years in Fire Crow Mountain, he knew quite a bit about the Golden Crow and sighed:

"I never imagined that these two lords had such a past. But later, it was this demon lord who was the first to rebel, which led to the Ten Suns patrolling the sky."

"That was after Immortal Emperor Yu Yi abdicated. With the Sun Fruit position above him and the opportunity to ascend to immortality right before his eyes, what does brotherly affection matter?"

Wei Shuang's tone carried a complex emotion, seemingly sarcastic.

Tian Tuo then burst into a strange laugh, his voice unrestrained, and he knew far more about these old stories than Wei Shuang.

"When Jiaoyang was born, the earthly evils raged, the light did not shine, black fire rose into the sky, and cries of resentment echoed to the heavens. All the cultivators came to advise him, saying that it was an ominous sign and that it would be best to let Emperor Yuyi get rid of it as soon as possible."

"It was Zhu Ci who knelt before the Sun Palace, begging to spare this brother's life. But in the end, it was proven that he was wrong. The foundation of the Immortal Dynasty was destroyed in an instant, all because of this 'compassion'."

Xu Xuan, however, did not largely agree with Tian Tuo's statement, and only said in a deep voice:

"Demons are ultimately inferior to immortals. Although the God Emperor is noble, he is still only a Nascent Soul cultivator. There was no shortage of such figures in the immortal path at that time. In the end, we still need this True Lord Zhu Ci to mediate the conflict."

Tian Tuo didn't quite agree with these words, but he didn't refute them at the moment, and simply remained silent.

Wei Shuang led Xu Xuan back towards the Earth's core, gazing towards Guanzhong in the distance, and sighed:

"I don't know if it's fate or not, but the killing of fathers and brothers existed in the Xia Dynasty, and it became extremely cruel in the Fengdai Dynasty."

Xu Xuan didn't know how to answer, so he and Wei Shuang escaped into the void. After a short while, they returned to the Earthly Lung Mountain and entered the Mysterious Tower Chamber.

As the purple aura circulated, Guan Quan appeared. Seeing the changes in Xu Xuan, he was slightly surprised and simply said:

"Has Sword Immortal Xu succeeded in cultivating a body to eliminate calamities?"

"I was fortunate to be able to refine this golden body because of the sun's influence; otherwise, I would probably have returned empty-handed."

Xu Xuan activated his Heavenly Eye between his eyebrows, and a beam of purifying sunlight shone forth, causing Guan Quan's gaze to instantly darken, and he even asked with some uncertainty:

"【Clear Light of the Sundial】?" "Exactly."

Xu Xuan did not hide anything; the origin of this ray of solar light was perfectly legitimate and there was no need to conceal it.

The green snake had been in his hands for so long without any problems, which suggests that the cultivators were wary of Donghua and dared not forcibly seize it. Now that he had revealed himself, he was unharmed.

"So that's what the inspiration was; that explains it."

Guan Quan nodded slightly and continued:
"The [Qingyi Xuanji] in my mountain is currently idle and unused. It is a wonderful place for cultivating pure Qi and also has some use in suppressing injuries. Sword immortals can enter it to comprehend the [Qingyi Kongtai Technique]."

"As for this golden man, there's no rush. We can lend him to the sword immortal and deal with it after the matter of the cave heaven is settled."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan felt quite grateful and simply said:
"I have only met you a few times, yet you are so kind as to offer such assistance. It is truly remarkable."

"What is this? It's a bond forged in life and death. Since Sword Immortal Xu has the heart to slay demons, he is a fellow practitioner of our mountain. In the future, we will still need Sword Immortal to deal with that Great Delightful Demon Land."

Guan Quan's tone was solemn, but he did not give Xu Xuan a chance to refuse. He only said that he still needed to recuperate, and then asked Wei Shuang to lead the sword immortal away first.

The two traveled on the wind. Xu Xuan sensed the Earth Lung Mountain but found no trace of other supernatural powers. Somewhat puzzled, he simply said:
"The Louguan sect has a profound lineage; are there any other true masters still alive?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shuang paused slightly, as if recalling something unpleasant, and sighed:

“There is an old master, whose Taoist name is Changyin, who is of very high age and is a great master of the Purple Qi Dao. He has gone to sea to seek immortals and has not returned for many years. The mountain is now under the care of the senior Guan Quan.”

"Senior Guan Quan originally had a disciple who was a seed of the Purple Mansion. He was almost complete when he was secretly harmed by the Demon of Desire and sent to the Demon Land. This is the source of the enmity."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan vaguely sensed the inner landscape and realized that the fairy maiden Huan Yu had transformed into was still within the Dao Realm.

'What should we do?'

Thinking of this matter, Xu Xuan also had a headache. Lust and greed were evil demons who did all kinds of evil and deserved to die, but now that he had been reincarnated and his memories had been altered, they were a bit difficult to deal with.

The two continued on their way. The mountain was rich in spiritual energy. Xu Xuan followed Wei Shuang to a valley on the shady side. This place was quiet and secluded, with a mysterious wind blowing from within. In the valley, a wind-guiding platform was built with jade, and pure energy flowed around it, which was quite extraordinary.

"This is the location of the [Qingyi Xuanji]. It is a special spiritual vein with extremely long pure Qi. It was found by the Changqing Zhenren in the mountains in the past, who moved into the mountains and made it a spiritual place."

Wei Shuang pointed out the location, but Xu Xuan had no mind to listen at the moment. The pure energy within his body surged incessantly, as if he had found a source. The Taiqing Immortal Stele began to react violently, vibrating incessantly.

The Immortal Stele requires this spiritual vein, [Qingyi Xuanji].

He was certain in his heart, but Tian Tuo's voice rang out at an inopportune moment.

“I’ll dig it up for him secretly. I have a way to make sure he doesn’t notice for a while.”

"roll."

Xu Xuan activated his pure energy, assuming a suppressive posture to shut the old demon up and prevent him from making any more noise.

He thanked Wei Shuang again and entered the secluded valley. He felt a refreshing coolness arise from within, and the injury from the tribulation fire in his body was greatly suppressed.

He suppressed the sensations within his body for the time being, waiting to find out the situation here before deciding whether he could replace this spiritual vein. He could not act rashly.

"This altar is also a spiritual artifact, modeled after the divine power [Cooling Platform], which is quite rare."

Tian Tuo spoke in a low voice, afraid of angering Xu Xuan again and suppressing him. However, Xu Xuan ignored the old demon and went straight up to the stage to start regulating his breathing.

With silver lightning surging and his supernatural powers flowing freely, he was able to cut off the Yin Fire and the decline in his lifespan much faster.

As he activated the [Primordial Order] to create restraint, several deep black runes appeared in his inner vision, radiating terrifying power and causing the Yin Fire to dissipate even faster.

"What is this?"

When the Black Law manifested back then, it caused An Xian to change color in regret, and Xu Xuan felt that his supernatural power had grown to an unprecedented level. But now, there is no such vast and solemn Black Law manifesting.

"The Northern Thunder Black Law, the Heavenly Canopy Righteous Law, commands the Immortal Heaven, and governs the Netherworld."

Tian Tuo's voice was low and hesitant, as if he were wary, and he only said in a low voice:
"In the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, countless immortals and gods have perished under this dark law. Even the former Heavenly Emperor Xuanhao was killed by it."
