Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 606 The Position of Guangmu
Cave heaven.

The mountains were layered and the forests were lush. Mysterious blue light from the Jiamu tree fell from the sky and shone on a thunder chariot below. Purple lightning coiled like dragons and snakes, pointing directly at a blue Taoist palace in front.

The ruins of the entire cave are arranged in a ring, with thirty-six palaces, twenty-four pavilions, and twelve mysterious towers, progressing layer by layer until the very center is the Jianmu spiritual root.

The thunder chariot stopped, its supernatural powers dissipated, and Bo Chang respectfully landed to the side, saying only:

"Kings."

Xu Xuan, dressed in a deep purple dragon robe, stepped out. His jade-like dragon horns were crackling with shimmering purple currents, and the reverse scale on his neck exuded a majestic and murderous aura.

"Go out into the surrounding area and seize the opportunity to obtain more spiritual items using your supernatural powers."

He glanced at Bo Chang beside him, but did not intend for him to follow closely, since it was a battle between those at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm and above.

This subordinate can't get involved, and those in the early Purple Mansion stage won't be blind enough to stumble upon him. It's better to separate them and let him use his supernatural speed to take more things. [As the Law Decrees] is perfect for this kind of situation.

"Yes!"

Bo Chang accepted the order, and the spiritual artifact on his back emitted a faint light. The [Deep Sea Flag], as a Purple Mansion spiritual artifact of the Wenyou Dao, was somewhat useful for concealment, which was just right for his actions.

With a flash of lightning, Bo Chang retreated and headed east.

Xu Xuan stood alone, his aura emanating from him, looking at the magnificent ancient Taoist palace before him. The words "Qichao" were written on its black plaque, and there seemed to be a flowing light of black and red wood inside.

'Hiroki?'

At this moment, he remembered the matter related to Ming Ying. In the ancient Tianye Dao lineage, besides the masters of the Jiamu lineage, there seemed to be a Golden Core cultivator of the Guangmu lineage, who was the [Qianqi] True Lord who was killed by lightning.

The one who could transform Guangmu into a tree that fears thunder in one fell swoop, causing such a profound impact, is most likely a True Lord of the Fruit Position.

There seemed to be a magical light changing in the sky. Many immortals saw the ancient Guangmu Taoist Palace and seemed to be moved, but after seeing the figures standing in front of the gate, they all retreated.

【Long Mu You Hai Ming Long】

This Dragon King was infamous and a demon sword immortal even rarer than a Golden Core cultivator. No one dared to provoke him, which made Xu Xuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

It went so well.

Upon seeing this, he walked into the palace. As soon as he entered, a surging, incessant light of the Guangmu tree struck him, threatening to turn his dragon body into wood. However, Xu Xuan merely raised his hand, mimicking the action of beating a drum.

Boom!

Five interconnected thunder drums manifested, and wind and thunder began to gather on the purplish-gray drumheads. The [Heavenly Drum Renewal Sound] erupted with a roar under Fenglong's blessing, completely washing away the remaining Guangmu energy.

【Zhentianqu】is the righteous sound of the beginning of heaven and earth and the harmony of all things. It has the wonderful effect of thunder, sensing enemy opportunities and healing injuries. However, anything in the world with flaws will be shaken along the flaws by this thunder and end up collapsing.

In other words, this supernatural power is quite afraid of the Daoist tradition of sealing away and storing gold by using the Wutu (戊土) which is free from leakage.

The light of the vast wood was now difficult to resist and was swept away, revealing the true appearance of the Dao Palace.

In the center is an altar made of black and gold precious wood, on which is enshrined a deity, a slender Taoist priest wearing a black robe and riding a blue crow. Below is engraved his name, "Guangzhi Anchao Qianqi Zhenjun".

On the altar were three mysterious decrees, all carved from black wood, each about the size of a palm, and engraved with the words "Dense Forest," "Nest Palace," and "Tiger Root," respectively.

'This corresponds to the gold position?'

Xu Xuan raised his hand, and lightning flashed as he tried to seize the three Xuan tokens.

The two tokens, 【Nest Palace】 and 【Yin Root】, fell into his hands without any hindrance, each possessing its own mysteries. However, the remaining token, 【Dense Forest】, remained firmly attached to the altar, completely unmoved.

"?"

He became suspicious and reached out to take it again, but the Xuan Token seemed to have taken root, as if it had become one with the entire altar. With the strength of his dragon body, moving mountains and filling seas would not be difficult, but he could not move it at the moment.

Xu Xuan suddenly felt a sense of alertness. He looked up and saw that the statue of the immortal Qianqi seemed to have changed position, its head lowered slightly, and it was looking right at him.

A faint pain came from his hand. The Maolin Xuanling had sprouted the heads of many serpents at some unknown time and bit him. At the same time, Shaoyang evil energy rose up, eliminating yin and opening yang, causing the originally deep purple thunder to gradually turn into golden divine thunder.

The thunderous sound shook the earth, shattering the order.

The order of the dense forest seemed to have come to life, transforming into a dragon and disappearing into the distance, causing Xu Xuan to frown slightly and form some guesses in his mind.

'A dragon-like creature?'

At this moment, he recalled what Tian Tuo had once told him: many trees intersect in Guang, thus forming a forest, but there should be no dragons or snakes in the image of Guang trees.

As the three Xuan Orders were taken away, the entire Dao Palace began to shake violently. The statue of Dao Qianqi Zhenjun seemed to become scorching hot, with sparks of fire rising up and burning, turning it into ashes in an instant.

The two Xuan tokens in Xu Xuan's hand also changed, seemingly connecting with the Guangmu position in the outside world. The characters on them began to distort, eventually becoming [Ai Chao] and [Shen Guang].

'The palace was robbed, hence the sorrow—this is the work of that Demon Lord Panmi. And the connection between [Yin Gen] and [Shen Guang] is quite interesting; doesn't it subtly point to the present-day True Lord Guangmu?'

Xu Xuan had always been suspicious of Yin Guangdian's background, but now there were some clues. It was highly likely that Shen Guang Zhenjun had ascended to the throne after being the Venerable One.

As the statue of the immortal Qianqi turned to ashes, a vermilion flame emerged from the altar, transforming into a celestial bird, resembling both a sparrow and a crow, with six tail feathers and a golden-red body.

Purple Mansion Fire! Xu Xuan's heart swelled with excitement. As the fire of the manifest world, the Fire of Li is not good at refining pills and creating artifacts, but it is extremely powerful in combat and cultivation. It has the wonder of burning away external evils and protecting one's true nature.

With the Taiqing Stele protecting his mind, he didn't really need this item. But if he were a fire-element cultivator, he would naturally crave it.

The [Crimson Origin Fire-Clearing Technique] that Fire Crow had given him in the past had already taken shape. This Purple Mansion Fire was not very useful to him, so he had Yang Yuanxin take control of it early on, which was perfect for refining objects.

The current flame is of even greater value, even guiding the sun. It is clearly transformed into the beautiful Heavenly Sparrow on the [Heavenly Vermilion Axe], the son of the Golden Crow, who occupies the position of the Flame of Departure.

Without hesitation, he summoned the [Heavenly Separation Vermilion Axe]. The flames instantly returned to it without any obstruction, causing the power of this fire-infused spiritual treasure to rise once again.

The wondrous power of that [Delusion] soared even higher. Xu Xuan hadn't noticed it before, but now, as his mind became heavier and more resolute, the flames on the Great Axe burned even brighter.

'Yang wood is the element of Jia, and Yin wood is the element of Yi. If there is a wood virtue that is balanced between Yin and Yang, it should be Guangmu! This also explains why other wood virtues are easier to connect with this path.'

Xu Xuan's mind raced. Today's Guangmu wood could not be described as balanced in yin and yang, but rather as wood that had been burned by the heat, that is, dead wood or hard wood.

He took out the [Lament Nest] token in his hand and carefully examined its nature. He felt that the wood was like metal and stone, standing in autumn. If he were to examine it more closely, it was closer to Lesser Yin, which was different from the [Dense Forest] token that was closer to Lesser Yang.

"Guangmu, I'm afraid it holds considerable significance for you True Lords of Wood Virtue. In fact, it should have been a central tree, flourishing into a dense forest, as powerful as true fire and thunder, not fallen to its current state."

Xu Xuan took a deep breath and walked out of the Dao Palace.

He rose into the air on the wind and saw a Daoist palace not far away, radiating a brilliant light. It seemed that something extremely rare had been born in the palace, attracting the attention of various cultivators.

Xu Xuan also spotted a familiar face, none other than Yang Yuanyi.

This patriarch of the Fire Crow lineage is incredibly brave and his cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm. His progress is so rapid that it is almost impossible for a demon to achieve.

The terms "Ming Yi Hui," "Han Wei Nue," and "Kang Yang Fen" are actually more accurately described as "dry Yang" rather than referring to Bing Fire.

At this moment, Yang Yuanyi was besieged and attacked, resulting in chaos. Several immortals attacked him, while Xu Xuan sensed the sneaky Tian Tuo on the outside, who was spying on him with Liu Xiaowen.

This old demon is very shrewd and never acts rashly. He used some extremely profound magic to shield his and Liu Xiaowen's auras, seemingly from the Shaoyang sect.

If Xu Xuan hadn't sensed the location of the two by using the seal script, he definitely wouldn't have been able to detect it.

He turned his gaze to the direction where Yang Yuanyi was. There were two immortal cultivators attacking him, both of whom were at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm. Apart from one who was cultivating the Metal element, he was very familiar with the other one.

The highest good is the way of virtue, and the greatest good is the way of goodness.

This cultivator at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm in the Kan Water realm is quite formidable in combat. Furthermore, the Kan Water realm now exhibits both clear and turbid variations, giving him a significant advantage in combat at the Purple Mansion stage.

He also possessed something that compelled Xu Xuan to draw his sword: the Great Flame Horn Furnace from the sect, a high-grade spiritual artifact of the Bing Fire type, which this Taoist used to deal with the Fire Crow.

He summoned a bronze divine spear, which transformed the surrounding clouds to conceal his form. It was the [Cloud Dream Guardian Divine Spear] given to him by Jiu Cang, which could help him hide his movements.

As they drew closer, the connection between him and Tian Tuo became increasingly stable, with pure energy flowing between them, and they could even communicate simply through their divine senses via the Dao Realm.

The two reached a consensus in an instant.

Great Flame Horn Furnace!

There could be no better time than now. Xu Xuan's dragon form has ample reason to act, not only to help the Fire Crow, but also because of the karmic connection to the Shangshan Path's plot to seize the South China Sea in the past.

Even if he were to kill Guangshan with a single sword strike, no one could say anything about it.

The goal is simply to make the performance more convincing.

A thin mist spread silently, and Xu Xuan hid within it, ready to make his move. But as he watched, he sensed something was amiss.

How could this brother-in-law be so incredibly brave?

Tianchi and Fengyan have had little contact in recent years, and his relationship with Yang Yuanyi is not as close as before. After all, the other party's personality has changed drastically, but how come his fighting skills are so advanced?
Xu Xuan conservatively estimated that the opponent was at least a very strong mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, and that he was currently fighting two opponents at once, but was only slightly at a disadvantage.

Guangshan seemed to sense something was wrong, and summoned a stream of water that changed from clear to turbid, flowing upstream, filling the sky, and striking the clouds and mist in this direction.

"Who's spying on me!"

With the concealment of Yunmeng Guard's Divine Spear broken, Guangshan was on high alert. Just as he turned the wooden sword in his hand, a thunderous sound rang in his ears, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Purple lightning condensed like dragons and snakes, and a majestic dragon aura rushed towards him. He looked closely and saw a dragon in a purple robe step out and slowly pull a long sword from its neck.

'not good! '

Guang Shan's mind raced. He disregarded the fact that Zi Fu was still resisting Yang Yuanyi's attack and was about to escape by riding the Kan Water. However, a thunderous formation suddenly descended from the sky, with the five thunderbolts intertwining and reaching a perfect state.

Three celestial generals charged forward, forming a battle array and displaying banners. They seemed to have used some wondrous technique from the Thunder Palace, and heavenly tribulation descended upon him, scorching his entire body and extinguishing his magical light.

"grown ups!"

He let out a mournful cry that echoed throughout the cave, but what rushed towards him was a magnificent sword intent, like a turbulent swamp, pressing down on his life.
