Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 537 Peacock
Luo Tong Zhang Di, the Southern Peacock Kingdom.

This place is quite large, near the sea, and ranks third in area among the twelve places of India, only below the Ten Wonderful Places and the Sacred Place of Reincarnation.

Now, the Peacock has established a kingdom, becoming a demon dynasty. All humans have been turned into slaves, and even immortals are now the Peacock's subordinates, deprived of their freedom.

The capital was located in a place called Tiancaiyuan, where colorful rays of light often passed through the sky. In the center of the city stood a series of magnificent and solemn palaces, whose style was very different from that of India. Instead, they had a style reminiscent of ancient Taoist immortals and were mostly made of bronze.

In the central palace, colorful lights flowed and clouds surged. From the main hall came melodious music, and pairs of beautiful men and women were dancing, their naked bodies causing rainbows to intertwine and change constantly within the hall.

On both sides were numerous Rakshasa, Yakshas, ​​Asuras, and demons, most of whom had strange, ferocious, and majestic appearances. They were feasting and enjoying themselves.

Kong Xuan, seated on the main seat, smiled as he looked down at the scene below. His extremely powerful radiant divine power was gathered around him, indicating that he had already broken through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

This Peacock Kingdom ruler has an extremely long history of cultivation and profound abilities. His Five-Colored Divine Light is renowned for its power.

Their bloodline is exceptionally noble, with ancestors who had achieved the Golden Core stage. Although not Great Sages, they still elevated the Peacock to the ranks of the most prestigious races. Furthermore, their clan has connections in both the Immortal and Buddhist paths, ensuring their survival to this day.

Although the clan has lost all its Golden Core techniques, it is still considered a top-tier Purple Mansion power, after all, nominally, the one in charge of this territory is in charge of it.

Kong Xuan smiled and drank wine repeatedly, but in his heart he was thinking about the current situation of that person, who was in seclusion and rarely gave instructions.

This great Asura holds the position of Rahu, and with his cultivation, he is qualified to ascend to it. This ritual is the most stable and has no hidden dangers, since it is connected to the ultimate fire.

But his delay in taking the throne suggests he has higher ambitions, something others may not know, but Kong Xuan certainly does.

This great Asura seems to have obtained something from the Xia Dynasty, not just a solar crystal seed, but a complete secret inheritance involving the Golden Crow son, leading directly to the Golden Throne.

His silence over the years was precisely because he was desperately seeking an opportunity to enter the path of immortality.

Throughout his cultivation, Kong Xuan has always harbored the desire to regain his Golden Rank and restore the glory of the Peacock Clan. His ancestors once produced a Golden Core cultivator of the Rainbow Clouds Dao, who attained the rank of Junior Master, but perished during the transition from the Yin to the Zhou Dynasty.

Later, the peacock clan had no choice but to wander among the immortals and monks in search of a way to survive, until they retreated from the Central Plains and came to this foreign land, where they established a demon kingdom.

'Now that the Earth element is about to rise, bringing great fortune and auspicious omens, this is my opportunity.'

Kong Xuan pondered silently, a smile gradually spreading across his face. He glanced to his side and casually asked:

Where did Kong Zhao go?

Beside the throne stood a dark-skinned monk with a pointed mouth and long face. He wore a bright red robe, radiating brilliance and surrounded by true fire, indicating that he had already reached the Vajra realm of vow power.

It was Bao Chi, the former spirit of Bi Fang, who was enlightened by that evil golden crow. Now, thanks to the pure land of the Peacock Clan, he has achieved the Vajra position.

"Your Majesty, Prince Kong Zhao recently visited the Li Kingdom to pay homage to the immortals."

"Let him return. The cave in the South China Sea is about to open. Let him go and gain some experience this time."

Kong Xuan's tone was deep and profound, but Bao Chi, standing beside him, was slightly taken aback and simply said:

"The South China Sea Heavenly Pool is the territory of Mu Youdu. The country offended him in the past. If Your Highness were to run into him again, I'm afraid you would not be able to withstand his sword."

"That's exactly what we wanted him to do to mend the relationship."

Kong Xuan smiled slightly and said calmly:

"Let's send an envoy to Tianchi to pay respects to this Dragon King and present him with some spiritual items in order to make peace. After all, he comes from the Dragon Court and values ​​his reputation. We can give him some support and also find out about the situation in the South China Sea."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Bao Chi spoke respectfully, but when he saw the peacock staring intently at him, he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Kong Xuan ignored Bao Chi's change in expression and spoke calmly:

"This matter is entrusted to you. Select a spiritual item from the national treasury and send it to Bing Huo, saying it is a tribute to his wife."

"I will obey your orders, sir."

Bao Chi dared not disobey the order, but he was terrified.

He was once a prominent demon, and he thought that by being reborn as a demon and climbing the tree of the Golden Crow, he could secure a good future.

The adults have now lost their response. It is said that the land of Yunmoga has been taken over by a demon king from overseas, and the Pira who was possessed by him has also disappeared.

He had long heard of the Dragon King's fearsome reputation; many Purple Mansions had fallen at his hands, let alone a mere Vajra of Wish Power like himself. If he were to accidentally anger the Dragon King, he would likely be slain with a single sword strike. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!"

Kong Xuan gave a reprimand, and Bao Chi, upon receiving the order, immediately withdrew.

On the throne, Kong Xuan stared at the spot where Bi Fang had left, his expression gradually changing. He always felt that there was something strange about the other party, and now it was a good opportunity to send him to Tianchi to handle this matter.

If it works out, that would be best. Even if it doesn't, if the Dragon King really kills him with a single sword strike, it won't be a loss.

After all, it is only a Vajra of Vow Power. As long as the [Heavenly Cloud Pure Land] of the clan still exists, and with the support of the vow power of this country, it is very easy to create another one.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart. He sensed something coming from afar, carrying a fiery aura that made his heart tremble, with a hint of immortality, as if it were calling out to him.

"This news came from where the Great Asura was in seclusion. Something has changed here."

Kong Xuan seemed to be deep in thought. Even though he was already in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm and his elder brother was in the third stage of the Bodhi realm, the peacock still had to rely on the prestige of this great Asura.

There's no other reason than that the [Rahu] wielded by the other party could unleash power far beyond imagination in the land of Sindhu, enough to place him among the top-tier supernatural beings.

If this person is willing to make a firm decision and completely refine it, they could also achieve sainthood.

The aura emanating from afar now possesses a touch of immortality, blending with the essence of the sun, leading Kong Xuan to some speculations.

'The people sent by the Golden Crow clan have met with Fu Zhang and had some private discussions. I wonder what their plans are.'

When Yang Chongzhou arrived here, his elder brother Hua Yu was so surprised that he came to greet him. However, the Golden Crow only wanted to see the barrier and entered that secret place. What was discussed there was unknown to the Peacock.

The success in overturning the barrier now is probably due to the methods of the Yang family.

'Could it be that the Golden Crow is also willing to help this Great Asura? But the position of the sun has always belonged to the Golden Crow; how can it tolerate others ascending to it?'

Kong Xuan found the matter increasingly complicated, as it had already exceeded the control of the Peacock Clan. However, if that Fuzhang truly ascended to the Golden Throne, the Peacock Clan would undoubtedly benefit greatly, and might even be able to establish connections with the Golden Crow.

'I'd better go and see this sir.'

With a firm resolve, he activated his supernatural powers and instantly rode the wind away from the place, leaving only a phantom formed by condensed rosy light behind. The numerous demons beneath him remained completely unaware, continuing to drink and make merry.

The Peacock King fled northwards, traveling for a long time until he reached the border of the Luo Tong Barrier, where he saw a towering demonic mountain with black flames rising from it.

The heavy fire barrier blocked the way into the mountain, and even with his cultivation level, it was not easy for him to force his way through.

Many temples stand on this mountain, enshrining the great Asuras of Indian history, all of whom were very famous figures.

The location of that guardian was prominently situated on the mountaintop, residing in the temple that once represented Rahu.

Kong Xuan activated a secret technique, opening up the void and revealing a path.

The rosy light surged, carrying him toward the summit of this "Mountain of Non-Heaven." Many of the temples he saw along the way had been destroyed, with only a few still responding.

As for the mountaintop, there are only two temples. In the past, only the Rahu Temple was still intact, but today the Yanhan Temple next to it is strange, with black light spreading and burning wind howling.

"The temple responded? How is that possible!"

He was shocked and looked puzzled.

The Drought-Suppressing One was an ancient demon god of Sindhu, the embodiment of drought. He once fought against Indra, but was later killed. This should have been a divine position long ago, its rituals vanished, so how could there be any response?

Before he could think further, another sensation came from the solemn Rahu Temple ahead. As the nature of fire changed, a muddy yellow water and fire gradually appeared in the temple.

This object resembled water yet was burning, resembled fire yet was flowing, and countless Taoist voices echoed from within, finally landing in his hand.

Kong Xuan put the item away and recognized its origin.

This is the Sanskrit word for water and fire, corresponding to the position of the great beast. It can be expressed through words and is rarely seen nowadays. It is most favored by Buddhist practitioners.

The chaotic sounds from the water and fire gradually coalesced, allowing him to hear clearly that among them was:
"Send it to Heavenly Lake, send it to Heavenly Lake"

Kong Xuan's expression hardened slightly. Seeing the strange phenomenon at the Rahu Temple dissipate, he took his leave, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

Sending it into the Heavenly Pool would be handing it over to Mu Youdu.
