Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 632 Construction

Jianmu (建木).

A colossal, azure-green tree rises to the sky, its lush branches and leaves obscuring the heavens. Above it hangs a bright sun, illuminating the area, yet a crimson band of light extends from its base, creating a stark contrast.

Twelve wooden buildings, radiating celestial light, formed a circle, like an array, echoing each other from afar. Inside, there seemed to be endless celestial light accumulating, indicating an extremely high status, and ordinary supernatural powers could not get too close.

A bluish-gray aura of the sorcerer god dissipated, supporting the two. At this moment, Jiu Cang continued:
"Gao Xu felled the Jianmu tree, even before Xuan Ye. However, with the abilities of that Immortal Xuan Ye, if he wanted to continue the Jianmu tree, it wasn't that he couldn't, but that he wouldn't."

"Why?"

Xu Xuan was puzzled, but he didn't know what Ye Xian was planning. If Jianmu were to be completed, wouldn't that be more beneficial to Jiamu?

"It is said that Gu Che asked his master at that time, and the answer he received was: 'When the three energies are about to depart, Yin and Yang will not be manifest. The severing of the Jianmu tree is also for the sake of all living beings. If I were to complete my cultivation, it would only make future generations more chaotic and the world more devastated.'"

Jiu Cang spoke in a low, melancholic tone, which only deepened Xu Xuan's confusion.

"At this time, the ancestral energy was about to depart, but later the Three Pure Ones also manifested, the reason is unknown."

"The realm of Immortal Lord has already transcended the fruit position. Even if one abandons the position, it will not harm oneself. Not to mention the Dao Venerable who is formed from the Three Qi, whose methods have reached an unimaginable level."

When this matter was brought up, Jiu Cang dared not speak rashly, and only continued:

"Now, of the four elements of Yin and Yang, three are hidden and one is revealed, leaving only Lesser Yin. This method is a method of stagnation and cessation, which is the opposite of Lesser Yang's growth and expansion. In ancient times, with Lesser Yang present, the five elements were established, which was naturally beneficial, but today, it is hard to say."

Her words were loaded with meaning, but Xu Xuan had a vague idea.

'Since Shaoyang can establish the [Eastern Pole Mysterious Bright Gate] to expand the heavens and earth, wouldn't Shaoyin be able to sever the heavens and earth? And if we establish the [Five Stops] now, in conjunction with Shaoyin, what effect will be achieved?'

Xu Xuan had many thoughts, but since it involved the matter of Shaoyin, neither he nor Jiu Cang dared to discuss it in depth. At this moment, they both looked at the Jianmu spiritual root and the surrounding Twelve Immortal Towers.

Strands of celestial light rose into the sky, breaking through the white light. Xu Xuan glanced inside and saw something of extremely high status manifesting various strange phenomena.

'This has already surpassed the realm of the Purple Mansion, and is even approaching the Golden Core stage.'

Xu Xuan's mind raced, and he continued gazing into the distance.

He then saw a celestial tower with purple currents flowing and chaotic energy spreading. There seemed to be something inside that caused his supernatural powers to tremble. The chaotic god statue he had obtained in the past manifested from the thunder swamp and responded to his presence.

The surrounding supernatural fluctuations are growing stronger, and the entire Azure Leaf Sky is beginning to shake, as if it is being shaken by something. From the high heavens, gusts of wind and rain are gathering, accompanied by continuous thunder.

The sky above seemed to crack open, and countless azure lightning bolts surged down, scattering across the area. They clashed with the bright sun, causing the yin and yang energies to become disordered, and the spiritual energy of the entire cave began to change.

The Jianmu tree trembled, faintly emitting a dragon's roar. Its lush branches and leaves gradually dispersed, revealing the twisted and sinister bodies of dragons and snakes clinging to it. Countless dragons and snakes opened their mouths, spewing spiritual lightning, which converged into a dazzling band of light.

This strange phenomenon lasted only a moment before dissipating, the branches and leaves covered it again, and the dragon and snake disappeared. However, the spiritual energy within the entire cave had gradually stabilized, approaching the Lesser Yang stage, and the vegetation began to grow.

"This is?"

Xu Xuan sensed something was amiss. It seemed as if the entire cave-heaven was being manipulated, and the Yin energy suppressing the daylight was unclear whether it was Tian Ye's doing or something else entirely.
"The immortal talisman left behind by True Monarch Tianting, who held the Heavenly Thunder Fruit position and was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, was the only one with such means to suppress Tianye's solar magic treasure [Bai Jing]."

Jiu Cang made no attempt to conceal anything and casually told Xu Xuan all these ancient secrets.

"This lord's original name was [Dongting]. He was a disciple of the Immortal Lord Tianpeng. He was in charge of the Nine Heavens Palace in the [Northern Thunder Palace], in charge of wind, rain, drought and flood, and the killing of ghosts and spirits. All matters involving possession, reincarnation, and transformation were under his jurisdiction. He could even overstep the authority of the [Netherworld].

"The Immortal of Thunder Palace"

Xu Xuan felt something, but then he heard Jiu Cang continue speaking:

“The Thunder Palace was established by the Thunder Ancestor and wields the power to oversee the world. There are two sovereigns and three immortals in the palace, and as for the Golden Core, there are many more, including not only thunder but also wind and fire.”

"Two immortal lords, may I ask who you are?"

Xu Xuan's gaze shifted slightly. He only knew of the Heavenly Canopy Immortal Lord, but he didn't expect that there was such a person in the Thunder Palace.

"The Thunder Palace dominates the world, its position comparable to Yin and Yang, naturally it has its own strength. It has two rulers, [Tianpeng] and [Tianqiong]. The former is in charge of the Heavenly Tribulation of Thunder, the latter's Dao lies in the transformation and deduction of the illusory." "The transformation and deduction of the illusory, is that the illusory Qi?"

"Exactly."

“The Void Qi, which evolves into the Mysterious Void and oversees the heavens and the celestial bodies, is inherently extremely adept at divination. Although it has now been renamed the Celestial Sphere, its method of divination is still based on this principle.”

The thunder in the sky grew increasingly terrifying, almost like a blue ocean filling the sky, and beneath this vast expanse of thunder, dark red candlelight gradually rose, twinkling like stars.

A candle flame flickers beneath the thunder.

Xu Xuan and Jiu Cang remained silent for a moment, both captivated by the magnificent scene. However, Xu Xuan had other thoughts on his mind.

'Fu Chen's Golden Core was indeed guided by Tian Ting, and this sect's arrival must have a plan. However, the reason for their collision with the dragon faction is unknown.'

After a moment's thought, Xu Xuan looked at Jiu Cang beside him.

Behind this demon king is the great man representing the wind disaster, who even has a past connection with Tianhuo Dragon Lord, which means that he is very likely the Golden Core cultivator of the Ancient Thunder Palace.

Within the Thunder Palace, all the She Lei were purged, but the remaining figures may not have perished, and some may even still exist today. And what is the attitude of that True Lord Yuan Yan towards Tian Ting?

These various schemes were intertwined, making it difficult for Xu Xuan to understand them. For now, he could only wait quietly to see when the core area of ​​this grotto-heaven would open.

Around the twelve immortal towers, numerous relics also appeared, emitting precious light, attracting some overseas Purple Mansions to compete for them. However, many high-level Purple Mansion cultivators with Golden Core backgrounds did not make any rash moves, quietly waiting for something.

At this moment, Xu Xuan sensed the presence of the seal script and vaguely perceived the location of Tian Tuo, but he did not show any unusual behavior.

In the distance, a gust of wind seemed to surge and disperse. A young man dressed in a black robe of wind and thunder stepped forward, waving a green wood branch in his hand to knock down the magical light behind him.

Upon arriving here, Tian Tuo's gaze was immediately drawn to the twelve immortal towers. With his ability to sense things, he was naturally able to perceive the extraordinary nature of the things within.

However, for some reason, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Of those twelve celestial towers, three are the most wondrous: Ding Fire, Yi Wood, and Zhen Thunder. They echo the heavens from afar, radiating celestial light.

'No, this building is—'

His brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say much. He noticed Xu Xuan's location, but he didn't dare to use the seal script to communicate. He simply used the light of the Yuan Wood Dharma to cover himself and slowly took out three Foundation Establishment spiritual items from the mustard seed.

【Sick and old candle dust】, 【Stealing life flower】, 【Great earthquake pool water】.

These three magical objects each displayed their unique abilities: fire ignited in the dust, blood flowed from the flowers, and lightning reflected on human faces, causing Tian Tuo's mind to gradually calm down.

He seemed to remember something and took out two more Foundation Establishment spiritual items from his hand, one a precious pearl and the other a spiritual pearl.

Tian Tuo crushed the pearl. The Vast Water Pearl remained unchanged, transforming into azure waves that receded. The Spirit Thunder Pearl, however, turned into a serpent, biting his tiger's mouth tightly, causing his flesh to become disordered and sprouting new flesh.

He lowered his head to cast a spell, intending to use the Yuanmu Divine Power to repair it, but at that moment a chill arose in his heart.

The surrounding world darkened in an instant, and all was silent.

Tian Tuo dared not raise his head, remaining in a bowed position as if petrified.

Countless rays of light and crimson currents erupted ahead, causing a burning pain in his eyes and his entire body.

A colossal being lurked in this darkness, its body formed from countless grotesque pieces of flesh and spiritual lightning.

Countless brilliant crimson rays of light swept across the heavens and earth, sweeping everywhere, and then transformed into swaying, round beams of light, like conch shells.

A solemn yet slightly respectful voice rang out.

"Lord Jiansui, you are well."
