Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 560 Ye Yi
Luo Qing.

The [Heavenly Fire Illuminating Sun Formation] was activated, and flames soared into the sky, protecting this place. A crimson figure appeared on the mountain peak, and a mysterious platform was offered up in his hand. The radiance of the Spring Equinox emanated, stabilizing the mountain.

The northern sky and water were tinged with a hazy gold, flowing endlessly, with the power of vows surging like rainbows, and the sound of chanting could be heard from afar.

Liu Xiaowen frowned deeply. How could he not recognize that thing in the north?
This is truly a Pure Land!
The so-called Pure Land is a place where all wishes gather. In the past, Lotus Temple had a half-finished "Little Lotus Pure Land", which caused considerable torment to the monks.

The radiant light of this Pure Land to the north is tens of millions of times greater than that of the Little Lotus Pure Land. The righteousness of its vows and the profundity of its Dharma are beyond his comprehension, though they stir his heart.

“He is definitely a figure of the Bodhi Vehicle, and the power of this Pure Land is extremely rare.”

Liu Xiaowen's mind grew increasingly heavy. The foundation of the Northern Sect was mostly in the Pure Land, and as this Pure Land unfolded in full, the cultivation levels of the people who were stationed there were also rising rapidly.

A burst of lightning flashed, and the man in blue robes rode the wind, his expression solemn. He simply said:

"Senior brother, what should we do now?"

"First, let the common people and cultivators go south, cross the Jade Stream, and go straight to Guyang to avoid disaster."

After a moment's thought, Liu Xiaowen felt that the safest course of action was to retreat south.

After all, the Jade Stream Mountains are in between. If that pure land is crossed, it would be considered as touching the Southern Immortal Path, and someone would come to stop it. Those who stay in the mountains might also be affected.

Liu Xingfang nodded slightly, agreeing with the decision, and then rode away on the wind, preparing to relocate some of his direct subordinates and lower-level cultivators to the south.

Liu Xiaowen's mind grew increasingly heavy, and he had already guessed that Xu Xuan had contacted him through the pure energy to warn him. So Liu Xiaowen made a decisive move and activated the formation. However, he soon saw the pure earth pressing down on him.

"Master went to the frontier to push for the northward advance; something must have happened."

Just as he was pondering this, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred on the Dajing Plain to the south of Luoqing. The light of the black and red broad trees could no longer be suppressed and soared into the sky, as if it had been inspired.

"This is?"

Liu Xiaowen's mind cleared up slightly. He naturally knew about the strangeness on Dajing Plain. This place was originally where Emperor Shu Wang had completely perished. Later, it was chosen by the last crown prince of Daqi and turned into a tomb.

Prince Ye Lingxiao of Qi, a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator of the Guangmu Dao, took advantage of the destruction of Qi to flee to this place with a bunch of spiritual objects. He hid his body using a secret method, and even Li Song searched for it for a long time without finding it.

As for the items in the tomb, they had already been taken away, and according to the speculation from the door, it was naturally done by the Song family.

In response to the changes in this Guangwu land, the sect specially invited Master Guangsu of the Qinghua Sect. Logically, everything should have been fine, but now another unexpected event has occurred.

"Is it related to this Pure Land?"

His thoughts raced, and he instantly grasped the key point. However, his mind gradually calmed down as he stared intently at the golden-glowing land to the north.
-
Tianshui.

The former Tianshui Lake has been completely moved away, but traces left by the Demon Refining Tower can still be seen. Wisps of demonic energy permeated the bottom of the lake, but now they have all been smoothed out by a burst of color.

One by one, small demons draped in monks' robes appeared out of thin air, staggering into this land of enlightenment, and began chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures. Countless ordinary people, practicing embryonic breathing and qi cultivation, were all illuminated by this light of enlightenment and were all converted, entering the Pure Land.

Golden lotuses bloom, colorful clouds sway, and warriors and heavenly kings turn prayer flags and raise precious banners while chanting scriptures, causing the radiant light to sway and auspicious clouds to rise.

Mingying's Dharma form sat cross-legged in the land of Buddha, growing ever taller and reaching into the clouds. The ordinary people below looked up but could not see its top.

This Dharma image has a compassionate expression, a face as smooth as jade, lips painted with gold lacquer, and is draped in a golden-red kasaya. The lower half of the body, which is seated cross-legged, is like a wooden carving, with a blackish-red color, and roots extending out, deeply rooted in the nine-grade lotus platform offered in the Pure Land.

He began to mobilize the karmic forces of cause and effect in the Pure Land without reservation, and with this power, he understood all the endless Dharma teachings. His golden vows flowed like the tide, heading south.

Beside him was a sacred mountain surging with golden energy, where various golden figures and bronze beasts could be seen moving about. The great formation was activated, and a sense of panic filled the air.

Ming Ying ignored Ti Feng Mountain; he had not come here for this immortal path at all, but for other purposes.

The fiery flames ripped through the void and crashed down. Song Shiqing was furious. The Heavenly Bright Axe in his hand changed its brightness twice, and the fiery nature of the flames erupted as it slashed into the Pure Land.

Unmoved by the manifested form of Mingying, he raised his hand and offered up a Mani jewel that emitted infinite brilliance. It spun leisurely, revealing a hazy golden mist that stopped the fire.

"May all sentient beings in the ten directions, with sincere faith and joy, find that in this degenerate age, my path is easy to follow, relieving suffering and distress with boundless light."

He chanted scriptures, and golden vows condensed in the heavens and earth like a great sun, with Brahma light flowing down, pressing down and completely suppressing Song Shiqing.

"Please make way."

Ming Ying's tone was somewhat sarcastic. He said that he alone was enough to compete with a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the second level.

By taking advantage of his position in the Pure Land and his ability to widely spread the path of immortality, he has already broken through to the second level.

Even after he unleashed the [Vast Infant Wood Flower Form] using the [Pure Land of Wishes], ordinary late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators couldn't do anything to him. Moreover, his five Vajra subordinates hadn't even all made their move yet. No, it should be four now.

A surge of anger rose in Ming Ying's heart. His most capable subordinate, the "Awakening Lion," had been annihilated by a single sword strike, his soul unable to escape. It should be noted that the difficulty in dealing with Shi Xiu Jingang lay in his ability to return to the Pure Land.

As long as the Great Void exists, even if the physical body is destroyed, these Vajras can reconnect with the Pure Land through their vows and return again. Condensing a physical body is much simpler than the Immortal Path.

Unless one happens to run into the sword intent and also encounter the thunder of the temple that is cutting down mountains, it will be difficult to escape.

Four Vajras manifested together from the Pure Land. The double-headed male and female Vajra had been fully restored, and the power of vows instantly reshaped his Dharma body.

Three Vajra figures emerged beside him: one with a blue face like a demon, one holding a golden thunderbolt, and one riding on black water.

These Vajra warriors took action to help the Pure Land advance southward, and soon they reached the edge of Tianshui, where hundreds of thousands of people were converted.

As the flames reignited, Song Shiqing broke free from the great sun of his vows, his eyes blazing with fury.

Since the Demon Refining Tower rioted and the blessed land was moved, Tianshui's defenses have been greatly reduced. In the past, the enemy probably wouldn't even be able to get in, let alone be converted.

His body had been pierced by the radiant light, leaving dozens of holes of varying sizes, with crimson blood flowing through it. Yet, his supernatural powers resurfaced, and he stood before this pure land, like a bird flying before a large ship.

"These are my Song family's subjects, how dare you!"

Song Shiqing was truly enraged. Holding the Li Axe, his supernatural powers surged, but his spiritual armor instantly fell off, along with the protective aura around him. All his magical power was channeled into the Li Fire Axe in his hand.

"【No retreat from the light】!"

This is a forbidden technique of the Fire Path. When activated, it requires the caster to leave no way out, abandon all protection, and completely rely on a single strike to achieve a fatal blow.

With the added power of the [Heavenly Axe], the power of his strike suddenly increased, shaking the radiant light of the Pure Land. However, it was subsequently pierced by the Mani Jewel offered by the Vajra statues.

Song Shiqing's physical body fell like a kite with a broken string, using his last bit of magical power to escape into the void. Then, Ming Ying's laughter rang out above the sky and water.

This Dharma image began reciting the great vow, saying only:

"I have come to deliver the blood of the Ye family emperor."

This pristine land rapidly shifted southward, soon pressing down to the edge of Tianshui, where the Li River and the sacred mountains on both banks could be seen in the distance.

"The World-Honored One's great vow is immeasurable light."

Ming Ying spoke solemnly, and the Mani Pearl was released at his will, emitting countless rays of light that caused the Li River to churn, while a strange change occurred on the distant Dajing Plain.

The void shattered, and the Qi of the vast wood changed, from which fell a dark coffin made of green wood. It was carved from a forbidden wood and surrounded by the three lights of fortune, prosperity, and longevity, protecting the coffin.

The appearance of the coffin brought boundless joy to the Bodhisattva's face, and the karmic connections within the entire Pure Land deepened.

"You've arrived, Tian Guang. Today is my day to guide you!"

The coffin was gently opened, revealing a corpse inside. The corpse was that of a young man with a heroic appearance, dressed in a black and red robe. His body was not decayed and emitted a blue light, as if he were breathing. Beside him, an extremely powerful Guangmu divine power was condensed.

The corpse of Prince Qi, which the cultivators had been searching for for a long time, was now revealed.

Mingying activated the Pure Land and headed towards the direction of the Crimson Clouds. In an instant, it swept past Golden Robe Valley and crashed hard into the Heavenly Punishment Spirit Mountain, clashing with the flames of Bing Fire.

Liu Xiaowen took a step forward, and golden-red fire condensed in his hand. He activated the [Flame Immortal], and the mysterious fire descended from the sky, like a rain of fire burning towards the Pure Land.

Mingying once again summoned the Mani Pearl, easily blocking the opponent's attack. Golden wish power flowed, beginning to impact this formation.

"This is... the mountain gate that averted calamity?"

He seemed to sense something, and the smile on his face grew even wider. He immediately ordered his four Vajra subordinates to begin breaking the formation.

The disciples of the Thunder Sword Immortal are all bound by fate and karma.

However, Ming Ying did not forget his main task. He activated his magic and made a great vow, which caused the green wooden coffin to break through the air and the body of the last prince of the Great Qi Dynasty to be completely placed in his Pure Land.

Liu Xiaowen's expression grew increasingly grim. The other party had already obtained the wooden coffin, but showed no intention of retreating. Judging from this situation, they would probably continue south.

However, their own mountain gate happens to be blocking this only road.
Ming Ying's jade-carved, gold-lacquered face turned around, dispersing the clouds and plunging the sun into darkness. He then laughed:

"You are also destined for the Dharma. Perfect, let that calamity-repelling one return a Vajra to me!"
