Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 500 Suspense
What does "雷" mean?

Yuanjia was born in Kunlun Linshan, and the lineage he received was passed down from Leigong. Even within the palace, there was no definitive conclusion on the Five Virtues and the Yin-Yang theory, or rather, both had their own merits.

The most prominent manifestation of the yin and yang of thunder is the thunderous roar, which is also the essence of the Great Dao of the Suspended Chaos True Lord of the North Sea.

This great being emerged from the Yin and Yang realms, possessing the most outstanding lineage among all the True Lords. According to the clan's records, he is clearly capable of ascending to the celestial realm as a Golden Core cultivator!

In this era when all the immortals have departed from their positions, one immortal is enough to suppress the world.

If this Xuanhun Zhenjun wishes, he might have a chance to rebuild the Thunder Palace.

There was no time to think, for the purple lightning sword light, emanating from a chaotic aura, had already struck him.

He had no choice but to unleash his full power to activate his magical treasures, causing various colors of lightning to surge and collide with them.

Even with the Five Thunder Binding Ring, this chaotic thunder does not belong to the Five Virtues and can only be resolved using Yin and Yang. It would be better to simply respond with the Earthly Thunder.

He gripped the Thunder Mace tightly once more, its surface crackling with black and white thunderbolts of punishment.

A vast and majestic Xuandu Thunder City manifested behind it, with countless celestial laws arising and empowering it to counteract the thunder.

However, the effect of the [Primordial Order] was not as good as before, and the wonders of mutual generation and restraint were only half of what they used to be, which made Yuan Jia's expression freeze.

To understand the principles of mutual generation and restraint of earth and thunder, aside from Yin and Yang, the four symbols, and the two elements of earth and soil, how can any other lineage escape these principles? Shen Zhen only had a few methods to survive and avert calamities, but even he could not escape these principles of mutual generation and restraint.

The chaotic energy lightning that the opponent is currently unleashing is of extremely high rank, capable of even shaking the local lightning and being subject to little restraint!
He had no choice but to forcefully accept it, as black and white lightning crisscrossed and clashed with the purple lightning that was spreading with chaotic energy.

Boom!

A tremendous impact erupted on this platform, and countless bolts of lightning scattered out, sending Yuan Jia flying straight through the stone forest shrouded in wildfire and plunging into the sea.

The superior and the inferior are already distinguished.

Xu Xuan sheathed his sword and looked out at the distant sea.

A majestic and powerful black Qilin parted the sea and emerged from the waves. Purple currents swirled around its body. Although it was injured, its aura did not falter in the slightest and remained perfect. It rode the wind back to the Dao Platform.

Yuan Jia's state was extremely peculiar, as if his supernatural powers and life were entrusted to the heavens and earth, not to his physical body. Therefore, even if he was injured, his power was not diminished.

"This is... the Thunder God Technique?"

Xu Xuan's heart stirred. He had already seen the other party use the [Heavenly Tribulation] and [Primordial Order] before. The wondrous power he was seeing now was probably the Thunder God Technique that he had not yet seen.

[Punishment of Piety]!
Yuan Jia looked calm at this moment. Although he had lost, he was not discouraged. Instead, a fighting spirit rose in his silver eyes.

"The Dragon King is the better one."

He shook his head and smiled, seemingly with a touch of melancholy:

"I have mastered the [Punishment of Divine Punishment]. This supernatural power has a wonderful use: it entrusts one's life to the heavens and earth. As long as the laws of heavenly tribulation do not dissipate, the power of the supernatural power will not diminish. Therefore, unless one dies, one's condition will always remain at its peak."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan was shocked. The use of [Thunder Swamp] to substitute for death was already quite miraculous, but it did not actually replace the cultivator's death; it was merely a means of restoring vital energy.

Once you encounter something troublesome, like the Ding Fire element, even if it recovers, it's difficult to eliminate and hard to deal with.

However, judging from Yuan Jia's description, this [Purification Punishment] does not increase vitality, but keeps the cultivator in peak condition until death, which is incredibly miraculous.

At this moment, Gao Chenfeng came along, holding a section of ancient paulownia wood burning with real fire.

The wood emitted a burst of light, but it was not scorching hot. It transformed into primordial essence and dispersed, allowing the two demons below to quickly recover from their injuries and depletion.

"Thank you, Phoenix Maiden."

Xu Xuan and Yuan Jia thanked each other. Both sides had held back at the end, so their injuries were not serious. Now, nourished by the true fire energy, they had recovered.

As the water shimmered, Dongfang Lanqing descended, her azure eyes gleaming.

Having witnessed the extraordinary power displayed by the Dragon King of the Netherworld, he had many guesses in his mind. How could Dong Han not know that the Chaos Thunder was the lineage of that great man from the North Sea!
It is not bound by the Five Virtues, but transcends Yin and Yang.

This great man's lineage has never manifested in the human world; only the Golden Elixir has witnessed it, allowing cultivators to know its power.

In the world of immortals, there are three Pure Ones, and this Xuanhun Zhenjun is the one worshipped by the Taiqing Xuandao. Some even consider his immortal position to be on the same level as the great beings above the sun and moon in the past!
'My Donghan belongs to the Shangqing Yuandao, and the immortal rank of our ancestors was no higher than theirs.'

Dongfang Lanqing had his own plans. If he had previously harbored some arrogance towards Mu Youdu, after all, there were two Dragon Lords in the sea, and he looked down upon the prodigies of Mingze.

But that won't work now. That lord from the North Sea has probably already chosen this Nether Dragon!
The oldest ruler of our time, the most secure person on the throne, a celestial being—all these accolades are not unfounded. One only needs to look at the North Sea's transcendent position, untouched by any storms, to know this.

"Mingdu's Taoist skills are indeed extraordinary. I wonder how he comprehended them?"

He hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Other schools have discussed using Yin and Yang to resolve thunder, but no matter what they do, they can't create this chaotic thunder. It must have come from the North Sea."

However, Dongfang Lanqing dared not speak frankly. Even with his status and being on the border of the East China Sea, he had to be careful with his words.

"I mastered an ancient technique of the Thunder Palace called the [Thunder Grip Formation], which uses Yang Thunder and Yin Lightning as its solution, and thus I gained some insights."

Xu Xuan spoke calmly, and what he said was naturally true, but he only told part of the story.

While Lei Ju was indeed useful, what truly enabled him to unleash that chaotic thunder was the "Suspended Heavenly Chaotic Thunder Book" hidden within his body, as well as the chaotic stone man and the small thunder swamp that had previously resided within his inner realm. At this moment, the stone man's seven orifices were fully open, and the "Suspended Heavenly Chaotic Thunder Book" naturally fell into the chaotic stone man's hand, with thunder rolling and chaos spreading.

"So it was this spell."

Yuan Jia seemed to be thinking. He knew the effects of this technique, so he naturally didn't believe it. But the other party insisted that he had figured it out from it. What could others do?
The consequences of offending the former True Lord Xin Jin of the North Sea are still fresh in everyone's mind.

Beichen belongs to the Jade Purity Dao, and that Qingyu True Lord is a disciple of an immortal. We don't know what kind of methods he has, but even so, he was killed in the underworld.

Before this, the cultivators only knew that this Xuanhun True Lord had an ancient origin, but they did not understand his power. After this incident, they were truly filled with awe and reverence.

Gao Chen chuckled, breaking the somewhat awkward situation.

She stepped forward, walked to Xu Xuan's side, and said:
"It was just a contest, nothing serious. The Yin-Yang transformation of thunder is similar to my True Fire lineage. If the Dragon King of the Netherworld doesn't mind, you can come to the Western Sea to discuss mysteries with me more often in the future."

"I will definitely visit him later."

Xu Xuan quietly took a step back. This Phoenix Maiden was too close, almost pressed against his chest, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

"After the competition, anyone who starts another fight will be disrespecting me."

The white-robed dragon king spoke in a deep and solemn tone, exuding majesty. He led the demons out of the desolate fire forest, broke through the void, and instantly returned to the Vast Origin Water Palace.

Upon re-entering the palace, Dongfang Lanqing continued the banquet, inviting a group of servants into the hall to present various spiritual items for consumption, including many of which were at the level of Purple Mansion Spiritual Essence.

'Extravagant!'

Xu Xuan sighed inwardly, this banquet was incredibly expensive; even he would feel the pinch if he were to host it.

However, Dongfang Lanqing had only recently acquired supernatural powers and his cultivation was still shallow, yet he didn't even blink an eye at spending so many spiritual items.

Seeing the atmosphere improving, Dongfang Lanqing raised an eyebrow, put down her wine cup, and looked at the demons:
"I am extremely grateful that everyone has come to my Water Palace to offer their congratulations today. I hope we can have more exchanges in the future. The world is about to change, and even my Donghan cannot escape it."

As she spoke, Dongfang Lanqing paused slightly, then said:

"What are your thoughts on the situation on the shore?"

Gao Chen, who was busy urging Xu Xuan to drink, seemed to be deep in thought when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes flickered.

"Our Crimson Phoenix Clan resides overseas and rarely interferes in matters outside the Sacred Mountain of He Yan. What happens on the shore is none of our concern."

Yuan Jia, however, had a different attitude, showing great interest, and said loudly:

"Naturally, we must enter the world and compete. The great war between Liao and Li is precisely where the opportunity lies, and it is my chance to seek the sect. Once all the demonic disciples in the world are killed, the time for me to become thunder will come!"

His words were utterly unrestrained, but Dongfang Lanqing remained noncommittal, turning to look at Xu Xuan and simply saying:

"I wonder how the Dragon King of the Netherworld views the affairs on the shore?"

"I cultivate the Thunderclap Technique and have already received the inheritance, so naturally I have no connection with the people on the shore and will not interfere."

Xu Xuan's words were exactly what he was thinking. The dragon's body residing overseas was the greatest guarantee. Even if the conflict with Liao reached an irreconcilable point, there would still be a way out.

"I see."

Dongfang Lanqing smiled slightly and continued:

"Let's leave aside what's happening on land. The Chaos God is about to fall, and it's in the Western Sea. This is a great opportunity. Phoenix Maiden is closest to us; surely she has her own thoughts on it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan's heart stirred, and he instantly understood what Dongfang Lanqing meant. His expression remained unchanged, maintaining only a perfectly measured curiosity.

"You mean the [Chaos] created by the ancient gods?"

Gao Chen's gaze shifted, and his voice deepened:

"Our clan's leaders have ordered that we not interfere. You, Longwu, should handle this matter."

Her tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation, which made Dongfang Lanqing look somewhat regretful.

"Is chaos about to fall?"

Xu Xuan asked doubtfully, since Dongfang Lanqing had discussed this matter with him before, and there were also signs of it appearing in the Guandao Hall. He thought it would be a good opportunity to find out more information.

"Exactly."

Dongfang Lanqing's tone grew solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"Left behind by the ancient gods who created the world, and after the intervention of two demon emperors and the blessing of many immortals, it is now about to return to this world. In just a few hundred years, it may even make the world wider and the Great Dao higher."

"Leaving aside other matters, some extinct lineages might be able to be revived, and the rare golden positions of many lineages can be tested."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan's mind raced, and he immediately remembered the [Merge] Immortal Talisman within his body.

'If the chaos descends and I seek enlightenment again, the environment will be completely different from that of the former Supreme True Monarch. I wonder if that will be good or bad?'
