Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 621 Demonic Thunder
The Xuan Pavilion stands tall.

The long river, its waters shifting between clear and turbid, meandered onward, while bursts of silver and blue lightning occasionally erupted in the sky, stirring up wind and rain and obscuring the white sunlight streaming down from above.

In the distance, golden lightning flashed, and a figure stood atop the clouds, with disheveled hair, holding an electric mirror, and wearing a golden thunderbird ghost robe that reeked of blood.

"The six things of the Thunder Palace are talismans, incantations, qi, qi, secret techniques, and mechanisms. All thunder magic can be included in these. This was passed down in the Daoist Compendium of the Thunder Palace."

His tone was low and languid, as if he were speaking to someone. Gradually, a faint blue flame began to ignite beside him, and a woman dressed in a silver-white Taoist robe stepped out from it. It was none other than Wei Peibai.

"I suppose you, Fu Chen, understand these things better than I do."

"Naturally, I know that all the calamities of the world are contained in the [Primordial Myriad Calamities], and all kinds of thunder magic are recorded in the [Daoist Dharma Compendium]. The Heavenly Thunder Immortal once cultivated this path and was known as the ultimate thunder magic in the world."

Wei Peibai seemed to be moved and continued:

"Huiyuan means the collection of all laws, but it also means the beginning and the origin. Whenever a thunder law is added to the world, this scripture will automatically include it without any omissions."

The man in the golden robe looked intently at the Xuan Pavilion ahead.

"My lineage of Thunder Control, also known as the [Demon Thunder Control], is a divine thunder path that incurs divine wrath and annihilation. Regardless of good or evil, it will exterminate them all. Consuming its essence is harmless; it's just that modern cultivators don't understand this path! It is the true lineage of thunder magic."

Wei Peibai did not answer. She looked at the person beside her, her eyes showing a hint of pity.

The divine lightning, which can also be called demonic lightning, is not some later-added evil, but a characteristic that truly exists within this lightning.

If the use of earth-based thunder to exorcise evil is in accordance with the righteousness of heaven and earth, then divine thunder is an even more terrifying and horrifying form of evil, using violence to control violence and evil to subdue evil.

The Chi Lei Dao is the ancient lineage of the Demon Thunder Dao, namely the Chi Shi Demon Thunder Dao Dao. It even produced a Divine Thunder True Lord in ancient times and received guidance from the Demon Ancestor Qi Yong.

Several ancient demon ancestors each had their own deeds, but the most famous was Qi Yong, who held a position equivalent to a celestial lord. He even created the so-called "Dao Oath" on his own, an extremely profound celestial technique that required prior approval before granting a position.

This is also the reason why the Blood Qi position changed drastically in an instant. Even the Thunder Palace, which monitors the world, did not react in time. It should be noted that the influence of a True Lord on the position is mostly traceable, but the change based on the Dao Oath is difficult to predict.

However, the Thunder-Controlling Path only grasped a few rudiments of the [Great Dao of Demonic Thunder Control]. If it were a true ancient demonic thunder cultivator, their power would be far more terrifying once they made a move.

"Back then, Tianye participated in the destruction of Leigong and lost his ancestor, but he still gained a lot of benefits. At least during the Zhou and Xia dynasties, he was above everyone else."

Lingming's tone held a hint of madness. He took a deep breath and simply said:

"I shall take the Daoist arts of the Thunder Palace!"

His face was a sickly red, and his internal organs were experiencing alternating hot and cold energies, which could dissipate in an instant.

"I have fulfilled my mission here. From now on, your Chi Lei Dao and I, Fu Chen, will have no further connection."

Wei Peibai exhaled lightly, flipped his hand and took out a bronze statue of a god riding a dragon and circling the sun. Several ancient characters were written on the base: "Dongjun".

“The spirit of Dingji Mountain perished in the South China Sea. I’m afraid the [Yunmeng] Divine Token has already been taken by that dragon seed. This [Dongjun] Divine Token is a compensation from our sect’s elders to you, fellow Daoist.”

“Ling Jing, he’s certainly willing to spend that much.”

The golden-robed Taoist's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He did not refuse and directly took away the Eastern Lord's Divine Token. Including the [Xiangfei] he had obtained before, he now had enough confidence.

With a flash of sparks, Wei Peibai's figure disappeared and left the place.

Lingming gazed quietly at the bronze statue in his hand, faintly sensing the heat of the sun emanating from it, which made the divine lightning within his body more active.

"Divine Court."

He seemed to be deep in thought, and first carefully placed the bronze statue inside his inner world to suppress it.

Ancient fake elixirs were roughly divided into several categories.

The first tier naturally consists of those below the Gold rank, possessing both life and health, but lacking official position. Among them, the most prestigious are the immortals of the Taiyin and Taiyang, even more powerful than some orthodox True Lords of certain Daoist traditions, and can be called "Divine Lords." They are also the best among the Moon Goddess and Sun Officials.

Such figures possess cultivation and are fully alive; they merely borrow a position. For example, the ancient Sun Palace's [Fu Ri Shou Xuan Shen Jun] once had the feat of forcefully slaying a Water Virtue Golden Core cultivator, which demonstrates his power.

The second category consists of those whose lives are incomplete and who can only borrow from outside, relying on methods such as witchcraft and the power of wealth. Their cultivation depends entirely on the bestowal of their superiors, and they are called "attendants." Once the bestowal of their superiors is gone, they are left with nothing.

To be honest, the divine systems established in both India and Chu were only at the second level, and they were only able to achieve this with the support of the [Beast Lord] and [Taiyi] respectively.

The Eastern Lord Divine Decree in his hand was a relic of the Sun God of Chu in the past, and this person actually fell even earlier, long before the Chu-Xia rivalry.

The time when the three sorcerers transformed into immortals was extremely long ago, even before the Zhou Dynasty. When they arrived in the State of Chu, the "Heavenly Inquiry" lineage actually only had one Golden Core cultivator, known as the Divine Sorcerer. He appointed six attendants, each with a divine position, and they barely managed to establish a divine court.

The Divine Court may sound impressive, but in reality, it is far inferior to the Ten Golden Crows, who are ten genuine Golden Core cultivators!

Lingming felt a pang of emotion. The world had changed. Once, witchcraft was all the rage, and even the Human Emperor had to consult the witches. But now, they had all bowed to the path of immortality. At that moment, he keenly sensed a rumble of thunder, and an undisguised dragon's might came from afar. The vast and resounding sound echoed throughout the area, and then a dragon king dressed in purple robes and holding a long sword stepped out.

'Mu Youdu'

Lingming felt a sense of apprehension and couldn't help but retreat a few steps. He had offended this dragon species in the past, and given the nature of dragons, they probably still remembered it.

However, with the speed of divine lightning, he had some confidence to continue competing for the treasures in the pavilion. If all else failed, he could use the two divine tokens in his hand.
As he pondered, he was completely unaware that a strange sense of separation seemed to have arisen between him and the surrounding world. It was as if a breeze was rising and blowing around him, with a hazy, bluish-gray aura surrounding him, forming a gateway.

The mountains and rivers changed, and the gods issued a decree. The ritual of shamanism, originating from the Heavenly Daoist tradition, descended, and he was quickly drawn into the gate, sinking into a hazy bluish-gray aura.

"This is?"

He was shocked, never expecting to encounter such a thing. The whole world was spinning rapidly, and his body was pressed to the bottom of the world, unable to break free.

A howling wind blew in his face. He struggled to open his eyes and found that the world around him had changed. Countless gusts of wind blew ceaselessly in the void, and he seemed to no longer be in the cave.

A woman dressed in a dark blue dress, with gleaming gray eyes, walked out from the strong wind.

"Who are you?"

He roared and tried to use his supernatural powers to escape, but it was difficult.

"As expected of a large order, they are true to their word."

Jiu Cang chuckled lightly, gently raised his hand, and a gust of wind howled in, instantly tearing Ling Ming's body to shreds, causing his life to dissipate, leaving him without even the slightest power to resist.

Lingming, who was in the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, had no power to resist. Two divine statues immediately flew out from his body and landed in the woman's hands. Meanwhile, the golden lightning on Lingming's body gradually revealed a demonic aura as the wind howled.

The golden snake soared into the sky, dancing wildly in the air. The opponent was suppressed under the raging wind, but still managed to stay alive.

Jiu Cang put away the two bronze statues. Apart from the one called "Dong Jun", what remained were a pair of statues depicting falling tears, in the appearance of women, known as "Xiang Fei".

She has now acquired five divine tokens, and only the final one, the [Mountain Spirit], remains to complete her collection.

In the boundless void ahead, a bluish-gray aura spreads, forming a portal. The scene within the Azure Leaf Sky can be faintly seen. With the help of the Xun wind that can flow among the trees, the Great Wind Profound Sky and the Azure Leaf Sky have established a connection.

However, this is limited to allowing her to interact with the group alone.

Through the portal, Jiu Cang quietly observed part of the cave's scenery, as if searching for something. Her gaze first passed over the dragon seed but did not linger there. Instead, she specifically looked for the Wood Virtue cultivator.

'It is not to be seen; the True Lord is watching. It is not something I can spy on.'

She originally wanted to see what the Changsu Demon Palace was up to, but how could someone with the backing of a Golden Core cultivator be so easily tested? She was just trying her luck.

Jiu Cang's gaze suddenly stopped. Now, through this portal, she could only see the outer scenery of this cave. But at this moment, under a mysterious pavilion filled with the scent of wood, she discovered a strange Taoist standing there.

This Taoist priest looked quite young and had an ordinary appearance, but he possessed a transcendent aura. He wore a green robe with dragons, lush forests, and scenes of dawn embroidered on it.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, smiled slightly, and seemed to have noticed Jiu Cang watching him. He gently reached out and pointed.

boom.

The portal created by the Great Wind Xuanqiong suddenly shattered, making Jiu Cang's expression extremely grim. She then stood up and stepped into the Great Void.

'It seems we need to hurry.'
-
Before Lei Ge.

Xu Xuan stopped, intending to take a closer look at the treasure pavilion, but the hazy bluish-gray mist rising in the distance and the strong winds it stirred up distracted him.

'Is this... the Xun wind?'

He was suspicious, wondering if Da Feng Xuan Qiong had made a move. After waiting for a while, he saw that the area was peaceful and there was no further movement.

'That old demon Jiu Cang is just as treacherous as Tian Tuo. He said he was helping, but he hasn't made a move yet. I wonder what he's plotting.'

Xu Xuan did not place any hope on this lineage. He had been in mortal danger when he fought Chu Hai, but the Nine Azure Demon King did not offer any assistance.

If it were someone with the cultivation level of a former celestial demon, they would surely be able to help him out of this predicament, but there was no action taken from the other side.

He then focused his attention and used the seal script to sense the two people, Tian Tuo and his companion, who were hiding in the shadows. They had obviously also discovered this Thunder Pavilion.

The faint aura of supernatural powers emanated from the surroundings, indicating that Xu Xuan was not the only one watching this place. There were probably five or six True Persons in total, ranging from the early to late stages of the Purple Mansion realm.

'They all want to take what belongs to the Thunder Palace.'
