Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 520 Clear Rain
Taixu.

A pure silver bolt of lightning shot through the sky with overwhelming force.

After traveling for a while, Xu Xuan had already left the territory of Yizhou. Looking into the distance, he saw that Qishan Mountain had been rebuilt, soaring into the clouds, with its radiant light rising.

"The foremost sacred mountain in the southwest is comparable to Mount Tai in the Central Plains."

He thought to himself that if the Earth element were to be reaffirmed in the future, it would be either at Mount Tai or Mount Qi.

"This is nothing. In ancient times, there were countless immortal mountains and mystical peaks like these. If it weren't for several wars that caused the heavens and earth to collapse and the sun and moon to slant, leaving only one-tenth of the entire world intact, even those with the Purple Mansion's ability to travel through the void would find it difficult to come and go."

"At that time, even the Golden Elixir could be displayed in the world and walk among people."

Tian Tuo's tone grew solemn as he continued to comprehend the [All-Yang Dao Seed]. Its golden-white light shone brightly, and the Lesser Yang Qi spread out, shining as brightly as the sun and moon.

The old demon continued:

"If the Chaotic Heaven created by the sages were to return, this world would be even more expansive and stable, and the Golden Core cultivators would have even more room to maneuver."

Xu Xuan's heart sank. If this were truly the case, the situation would likely be even more difficult. Today, even the Yin Judge had to intervene and search; what if more anomalies emerged in the future?
The esteemed lords are absolutely willing to personally take action to kill a displeasing Purple Mansion cultivator. It is precisely because of this caution that they are considered Golden Core cultivators.

"The conflict between Liao and Li must be pursued thoroughly and cannot be avoided. Only in this way can we gain the tolerance of all the Golden Core cultivators."

Currently, taking advantage of the Xun wind to travel through the void, after half a day, one can see the scenery of the Chiyun County in the distance. The two spiritual mountains, Tianji and Luoqing, surround the Lishui River, creating a peaceful scene.

He landed suddenly and first scanned the area with his spiritual sense. Seeing that the formation of the Heavenly Fire Platform was still stable, he felt much more at ease.

By bestowing upon someone a seal script, one can remotely sense the other's life force. If one is ruthless enough, one can even directly control the true spirit with pure energy, which is quite domineering and even somewhat resembles demonic methods.

Xu Xuan had never paid attention to this mystery before, but the faint sense of Zhengyi Metal nature he felt at this moment made him somewhat interested.

He first took out a black jade thumb ring, which was the mustard seed obtained from killing the Demonic Sea of ​​Hatred. It contained most of the demonic cultivator's wealth and even his inheritance!

A dark blue jade scroll landed in his hand. As for the restrictions within, they had already been lifted by Tian Tuo. The light of his magic condensed into several ancient characters surrounded by demonic energy, which read "The Scroll of Turbid Transformation and Hateful Water".

This book contains three methods for cultivating supernatural powers: [Hidden Clouds], [Birth of Hatred and Turbidity], and [Falling Rain].

“Rain from the sky is clear, while sediment in the pond becomes turbid. When it encounters the sun, it transforms into qi, rises, and returns to its clear state.”

Xu Xuan silently pondered. Now that he had the Purple Mansion Technique, the change in the clarity and turbidity of Gui Water should be related to [Clear Rain Falls] and [Hate and Turbidity Arises]. However, both of these supernatural powers were damaged, losing their clarity and turbidity, and their mystery was greatly reduced, but they could still be cultivated.

Within this demonic scroll lies the "Qingxu Heavenly Rain Dao Technique," a method for breakthrough and an advanced version of the [Praying Rain Dance].

This method was shown to Tian Tuo, and it is a legitimate method of the immortals. I don't know where this demonic path collected it from. It has five grades and is quite mysterious.

With a firm resolve, Xu Xuan took out a drop of clear Xuan Dew, a spiritual object left behind by the fall of the Sea of ​​Hatred, which was a [First Dawn Dew].

As a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, the phenomenon of Henhai's fall should have been more widespread, and the spiritual object should not have been reduced to just one drop. However, he was a demonic cultivator, and his entire essence was almost completely destroyed by the lightning punishment, leaving him with very little.

The last remaining drop of dew had already been cleansed of demonic energy by the heavenly punishment, making it truly wondrous. In addition, there were two spiritual artifacts within this mustard seed: the Gui Water Jade Sword and the Blood Qi Demon Pool. The former was only of low grade, while the latter was of mid grade.

"As expected, they're demonic cultivators from overseas; they're nothing special."

Xu Xuan examined the spiritual items and found that most of them were Gui Water spiritual essences, totaling three. The most valuable one was a spiritual water called "Rootless Rain," which had another use: supporting the foundation of immortality.

"Once I find Pingxiu to refine another pill, Si'an can go prepare to break through to the Purple Mansion. She has the blood of the Yan Dynasty emperor flowing in her veins, which must be mysterious."

Xu Xuan is only guessing at the moment. Since his mother's surname is Feng, she must be connected with the Yan Dynasty's imperial family. If this bloodline is pure, its nobility is no less than that of a noble race, and it is close to the bloodline of a Great Sage.

With that [Fu Yi Xuan Hu] seal script, over the years, Wen Si'an's bloodline has been purified, making him comparable to the former Yan Dynasty imperial family!

This is destiny, this is intention, which gives one a greater sense of security when making a breakthrough.

"As for the remaining cultivation techniques, I can personally visit Jianshan to request them for Xingfang. As for Qingwu Dao, there will be an opportunity when the war begins."

Xu Xuan's thoughts shifted slightly. The method for breaking through the [Heart of Calamity Pool] should be available at Mount Jian, but the matter of She Lei is of great importance and requires careful planning.

As for the technique of [Hidden Grave Embryo], if Qingwu Dao really can't master it, then he can only go to find the Qingyang Ruins or the White Fox, but he needs to find a good excuse.

As the lightning in the hall shifted, Xu Xuan silently sensed the divine power within his body. The [Dou Dipper] was continuously receiving the blessing of the Po Jun, which was sufficient to bear the weight of the Dharma Body.

The spiritual object in Xu Xuan's hand is enough to cultivate three vertical and horizontal paths, and to cultivate this Dharma body to a minor level.

"It's a pity that if Jin Xing hadn't suddenly appeared, he could have collected all the spiritual items in Zhongyue."

However, even achieving minor success would likely require a great deal of time and effort to cultivate, not to mention that his physical body is still in a state of disrepair and he needs to borrow land from the Earth Lung Mountain to repair it and practice the [Pure Ritual Empty Embryo Technique].

"Before that, we need to settle the rest of the matters."

With a thought, he scanned the mountains and found a faint echo.

A short while later, a rumble of thunder was heard outside the main hall, and the man in blue robes descended on the wind and entered the hall.

Liu Xingfang's heart pounded. He had heard of the changes in Yizhou and, through news from Tifeng Mountain, learned that his master had been injured by the Yin Fire.

Only now did he sense it and see the familiar figure seated there. He felt much relieved and quite excited, quickly stepping forward and respectfully saying:

"Master!"

This period was extremely difficult. The sect's Purple Mansion was unresponsive, and there was even a risk of its demise, causing panic among every member. Although Liu Xingfang had the ability to sense the seal script and knew that his master was still alive, his condition was unknown, and he was still worried.

"I have been seriously injured and will probably need to go into seclusion for about ten years. Before that, I need to settle some things."

Upon hearing Xu Xuan's words, Liu Xingfang below felt a chill in her heart.

"I will obey my master's orders."

"With Ti Feng in the north, Xiang Jian in the south, and Zi Jin in the west, our mountain gate is relatively safe. The only one we need to be wary of is the person coming from the southeast."

Xu Xuan spoke in a deep and serious tone, slowly saying:

"From this day forward, you shall hang the [Kui Zhen Tian Yin Drum] bestowed by the Thunder Department above the formation, which will allow the many heavenly soldiers in the Heavenly Thunder Shrine to patrol."

"The divine way is about to rise, and you also hold a position in the Thunder Department. Make good use of this relationship. When I am not here, the Thunder Department will probably come looking for you again. Be careful and do not act rashly."

"Yes."

Liu Xingfang spoke solemnly, though he was unaware of the meaning behind his words. With the rise of the Great Li Divine Path, the prestige of the Thunder Department's position far surpassed that of the past.

"As for the cultivation method, I will go to the North Sea to seek it out after I leave seclusion, and I should be able to obtain it."

Xu Xuan's gaze shifted, and silver lightning surged around him, as if sensing something arose:
"Shelei is not an easy place to go. You must be determined. If you are unwilling to do it, there are other ways."

"In this life, I only wish to cultivate the sect in order to seek the Dharma!" Liu Xingfang's tone was solemn, and his answer was resolute, without any hesitation.

"it is good."

Xu Xuan sighed, then said:

"She Lei needs to enter the world, to slay demons, and to uphold the righteous law. If you have this wish, you can follow me on the battlefield to hone your skills and seek the thunder and the sword."

"How is Shu Han doing? Will he be back in the mountain soon?"

"A letter came from the Wu family saying that Shu Han is exceptionally talented and has been valued by the Grand Master. He will need more time and should return in three years. At that time, he will be sixteen and should have already reached the Qi Refining stage."

"If Shu Han returns, we can prepare to cultivate the orthodox methods of our sect."

Xu Xuan's tone was profound and had a hidden meaning.

Among the youngest generation in the sect, only Shu Han can be considered outstanding and can be cultivated as a seed of the Purple Mansion. His seal script can even be passed down to the Purple Mansion level, similar to Fa Yan and Xing Fang.

"On behalf of Shu Han, I thank you for your guidance and support."

Liu Xingfang immediately understood and was thrilled.

He naturally understood his master's meaning: Shu Han was to be cultivated as a core member and would definitely be taught seal script.

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment, then took out a Black Wood Mystic Nest and bestowed it upon the recipient.

"This is the [Gathering Nest], a spiritual artifact of the Guangmu Dao. Although it is of low grade, it still possesses a wondrous power that can be controlled, and is called the [Gathering Beasts]."

"This spiritual artifact can absorb the energy of the Guangmu tree and can be used to raise beasts and insects. Although its effectiveness has been reduced due to the influence of the Yimu tree, it is still sufficient for spirit beasts at the Foundation Establishment stage."

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment. He originally intended to keep the red centipede in his hand inside, but this creature was still connected to the inscription "Five Poisons in One Body" and had not yet been dealt with, so it was not appropriate to show it to others.

"We can let the fire crane in the gate enter this nest first, so that its bloodline can be nurtured and it can break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. In addition, it can also accommodate two beasts, which can be raised to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. You can plan it."

"Xingfang understands."

Liu Xingfang, with a respectful expression, put away the nest.

This magical artifact may not possess any special combat abilities, but it is sufficient to nurture three late-stage Foundation Establishment spirit beasts within the sect, all with long lifespans.

As for the Qi of Guangmu, there is plenty in Zhuolin Forest, so there is no shortage of resources. However, choosing which spirit beasts to use is something worth considering.

"Now that the Earth element is about to rise, we should carefully cultivate any suitable candidates within our family and take advantage of the opportune time and place."

Xu Xuan gave his final command and then vanished in a flash of lightning, leaving only Liu Xingfang in the hall.
His expression was solemn, as if he were deep in thought.

It was getting dark outside, and a gust of wind and rain began to fall.
-
Caiyun Peak, Mingsi Hall.

Outside the hall, a light rain fell, and the clouds and mist were dim. Inside the hall, a woman could be seen sitting quietly, dressed in a simple white dress, her face serene and beautiful, yet also aloof. Her immortal foundation had been perfected, and her nature of Gui water was undergoing transformation.

It was Wen Si'an.

On the pearwood table in front of her lay a short jade sword, inscribed with the words "Rain Thoughts".

The void suddenly shattered, and Xu Xuan emerged from within. The two looked at each other, and Wen Si'an immediately stood up, slightly worried, and said:

"Senior brother."

"nothing."

Xu Xuan currently only needs to repair his physical body; his life is safe and his supernatural powers are intact. The golden man has managed to hold him back from his severe injuries, and his flesh and blood have begun to heal.

Even now, even after removing this golden body, he can walk normally, but his supernatural powers are difficult to use.

"The Kunlun Mountains of Shu have completely collapsed, and all the imperial family's legacy has been taken away by others. It is likely that they will rebuild the Wutu, and the time afterward will not be peaceful."

Upon hearing this, Wen Si'an's eyes darkened slightly as he looked out over the mountain and simply said:
"We are located near the border and cannot remain uninvolved."

Xu Xuan then took out the scroll of "Qingxu Tianyu Dao Jue" and solemnly said:
"I entered the cave and beheaded a demon, obtaining this cultivation manual from him. I can study it carefully. As for the spiritual objects and elixirs, they have all been taken care of, so there is no need to worry. I just need to wait for the breakthrough."

Wen Si'an nodded slightly, accepting the scroll of Daoist manuals, his tone softening:
"Over the years, the storms of life have borne the brunt of my senior brother's burdens. His absence has caused some chaos within the sect. I too wish to seek supernatural powers, both for the sake of the sect and for the sake of..."

She fell silent in the end, but gently stroked the spirit sword on the table, only saying:
"The scene of this sword being delivered in the past is still vivid in my mind, and I also remember it now that thunder is hanging high in the sky."

"Even though my senior brother has reached the Purple Mansion realm, he still often teeters on the brink of life and death for the sake of the sect. If I were to seek supernatural powers, my fate would also be uncertain."

Xu Xuan was filled with emotion, the events of yesterday still vivid in his mind.

The memory of forging swords at the foot of Tianqing Peak is now clearer, while the battles and killings during the Foundation Establishment stage are all blurry.

"When it comes to seeking supernatural powers, there is no easy way. You have the advantage of bloodline, so you should have less to worry about."

His tone was gentle, but he was deeply moved.

If Binghuo's return is truly related to the Yan Dynasty imperial family, Wen Si'an might be involved due to his bloodline. Only by achieving supernatural powers as soon as possible can he take the initiative.

"It's not about worrying about these things."

Wen Si'an looked straight at him, his gaze calm and composed.

"You should study this cultivation technique first. If you want to break through, you need to transform your immortal foundation into [Clear Rain Falling], which requires elixirs. You can ask that True Person Pingxiu from overseas to refine it."

Xu Xuan's heart stirred, and he simply said:

"I'll leave first, you—"

"Senior brother, it's getting late and the rain is heavy. Why don't you stay a little longer and leave when the rain stops?"

Wen Si'an spoke calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, yet he seemed quite serious, leaving Xu Xuan at a loss for words.

"it is good."

After a long time, night had fallen, and the wind and rain outside the palace gradually intensified, pressing down in a dark and oppressive atmosphere.

The gates in front of the hall were closed, and a lamp flickered inside, illuminating a gleaming golden body that had been removed from its statue, casting a swaying shadow.

Within the Dao Realm, pure energy circulated. Tian Tuo had been firmly suppressed, bound tightly, and his six senses sealed. The old demon cried out in unwillingness:

"You ungrateful wretch—"
