Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 634 Leisure

The cave trembled, and a sliver of sky opened.

The central Jianmu tree underwent a mysterious transformation, sprouting streaks of green scales. The once dense and seamless green leaves gradually dispersed, allowing the light of the Lesser Sun to descend and nourish all the trees.

The azure light of the young sun stretched across the sky, condensing into the character "仙" (xian, meaning immortal) – meaning "leisure".

Idle, wood in the doorway.

The entire cave began to revive, the formation was rebuilt, and the immortal light shone brightly. Meanwhile, the supernatural powers below became increasingly chaotic, fighting over the various immortal objects and unleashing their true power.

A gentle breeze stirred, and azure light spilled down. Tian Tuo did not act rashly, but instead concealed himself and looked at the immortal character in the sky.

'It's not the original form from the [Eastern Extreme Profound Brightness Sect]. But to imitate it to this extent, only an immortal could do it.'

Xuanxian is the essence of Shaoyang governing the Wood element. It is neither a thing nor a tool, neither real nor substantial, and cannot be spoken of or described. Even the Golden Elixir cannot comprehend it; only immortals can comprehend it.

Such a commotion was most likely created by the Heavenly Dragon Lord, who used Shaoyang as a catalyst to achieve the supreme status of Jia Guang, borrowing this seemingly mysterious immortal trace.

Which esteemed person was capable of entering the Eastern Xuanming Sect, comprehending the Xuanxian, and ultimately passing it on to Tianyu?
Tian Tuo's mind raced. If his guess was correct, it was very likely that it was the ancient immortal Jian Sui. It was even possible that Tian Yu had escaped the calamity of Tian Ye's destruction because of Dong Hua's favor.

So what was the purpose of the esteemed officials of Donghua at that time?

The Shaoyang lineage definitely has a deep-seated plan for the Wood element, and the Tianyu Dragon Lord who is suspected of returning is very likely to have inherited this will and is carrying it out today.

Tian Tuo's gaze fell upon the remnants of the Jianmu tree. Nourished by the radiance of the Lesser Sun, the tree showed signs of regrowth, causing the entire cave to begin to revive.

'The ancient nature of Jia wood is to face all yang, being close to both the sun and lesser yang, but its complete devotion to the sun was formed after the ascension of the Immortal Xuan Ye.'

'The sun, being the pinnacle of Yang, naturally causes the Jianmu tree, which receives the sun's influence, to grow to its apex and then find it difficult to grow further. Perhaps by following the path of Lesser Yang, it could be restored?'

His mind raced as he looked around, only to see that there were twelve celestial objects enshrined in the wooden building, belonging to the Taiyang, Shaoyang, Sanjia, Erguang, Yiding, Yixiao, Zhen, Yiyi, and Yuan.

There were a total of twelve immortal artifacts, each radiating spiritual light. The Chaos Thunder Pool, which represented Zhen Lei, had already been snatched away by a dragon shadow, and no one dared to stop it.

Tian Tuo focused his mind and, setting aside the schemes among the True Lords, the fact that these twelve immortal objects could be used to suppress the formation was astonishing, regardless of their monetary value or their very status.

"Given the current situation, taking one route and then retreating is already the limit."

If he were to cultivate another supernatural power, he would have the ability to defeat all the heroes. However, he is currently only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and he is still somewhat powerless in the face of so many supernatural powers.

Xiaolei or Yuanmu?
In an instant, Tian Tuo made his choice and charged straight at the celestial object surging with azure lightning. He did not hesitate at all. After witnessing the confrontation between Jiang Li and the dragon seed, he had already made a plan.

Even though he was a top-tier immortal talent, he was definitely a follower of that Bi Mo Zhenren in seeking the Dao, and his own unusual nature had at least attracted the attention of the dragons.

Whether or not someone can attain the Heavenly Thunder Fruit position, and whether Bi Mo can actually achieve it, are the real factors that determine his path in the Dao.

The azure branch landed in his hand, the yang insects breathed, and wind and thunder roared. Tian Tuo no longer held back, and with the help of this ancient spiritual treasure of primordial wood, he charged straight into the center of the battle, sweeping across all directions.

Azure lightning surged, within which seemed to contain a crescent-shaped talisman, carrying an aura completely different from the thunder magic of the heavens, and closer to the way of the Thunder Palace.

'This is a celestial thunder artifact from the Northern Society lineage, left behind by the True Lord!'

With his extensive knowledge, he naturally recognized the origin of the talisman. However, the characters on the talisman were obscured by the lightning, making them somewhat difficult to see, but this was enough to arouse Tian Tuo's doubts.

'It shouldn't have been left by Tianye, but rather placed there by someone else. This place is the Heavenly Thunder's Punishment, is it?'

Regardless, this Thunder Talisman is of great significance to the sect, as it can provide valuable insights for True Person Bi Mo, so it cannot be overlooked.

The wind and thunder howled, and the green flowers surged, gradually engulfing the scene.

far away.

The sun's illusory white light burst forth, and the man in the golden robe stood firm, his spirit sword swaying lightly in his hand, driving back the cultivators. The sword intent, as brilliant as the sun, slashed down from the sky, accompanied by a burst of illusory white fire.

Boom!

The road ahead was cleared, and no one could stop him anymore. At the last moment, the Sun Sword Immortal finally unleashed his full power, and ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators were no match for him.

Even in terms of sheer killing power, those in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm would have to be wary and wouldn't dare to take a single blow from his sword, not to mention that he also possesses a boundless solar fire.

[Da Yu Ping Yi Huo]

Li Shangmi, his golden robes billowing, walked through the air. The "Imperial Light Heavenly Crown Sword Technique" in his hands radiated boundless power. Countless streaks of white light burst forth with the sword intent, and anything that touched them was instantly incinerated.

He looked ahead and saw a golden light coming from the sky, echoing him and entering his body, causing his third supernatural power, which had been hesitant to move, to faintly respond.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist. With this item, the path to the Great Dao is within reach."

A burst of light emanated from beside him. Si Wenchuan looked over with a strange expression, and he finally found the sword immortal he had separated from.

Li Shangmi frowned slightly. For some reason, he vaguely sensed a change in the other person's demeanor.

"Have you found the essence of the Dao?"

He knew that the other party had entered this grotto-heaven in search of ancient artifacts belonging to the Zhengwei Dao lineage. The two had separated because of this, and now that Si Wenchuan had reunited, he wondered if he had gained anything. "I did not find it, but I did gain something else."

Si Wenchuan's lips curled into a gentle and respectful smile, as always, which reassured Li Shangmi somewhat.

“A drastic change is about to occur in Qingye. Having obtained this item, it is time for me to depart. You—”

"Let's go together."

As the sun rose in golden light, it carried the two away. Li Shangmi was never greedy, only taking what he needed. However, the changes in the cave had exceeded expectations, and it was not advisable to stay any longer.

He took one last look at the place, glancing at the deep purple dragon shadow, and vaguely saw the chaotic energy on the other party. His heart sank.

'As expected, this is the legacy of that one from the North Sea. I, following the mandate of the Immortals, am to suppress this Dragon King?'

He wasn't afraid at all; what he was worried about was whether his own lineage would be destroyed under the oppression of the various officials. But now, Zhongyang Mansion actually had no choice.

As for the position of Golden Core, there's no need to even think about it. The Book of All Suns Looking at the Sun only contains four supernatural powers, and one has always been missing. Isn't that the will of the Heavenly Lord?
The golden flames roared and disappeared into the distance; the two figures vanished in an instant.

The sound of thunder rolled in, and Xu Xuan unleashed his power, heading straight for the several wooden objects that were used to suppress evil spirits. Since no one was blocking his way, wouldn't it be foolish of him not to take them?

A green tree, wreathed in purple lightning, hung silently in the air, its surface covered with dragon scales. It was clearly of the same lineage as the [Great Zhenyang Xutian Root], and even of a higher rank, showing signs of being refined by a True Lord.

Remains from the ancient site.

This item was a treasure of Jia Zhen, which was just what Xu Xuan needed. He drew his sword, cut through the path, and single-handedly overwhelmed the other cultivators, seizing the precious wood.

When he touched the object, he sensed two different auras emanating from it, one close to the armor and the other close to the tremor, and there was even a faint dragon aura.

'The Heavenly Dragon Lord's aura also touched this object.'

Xu Xuan's heart stirred slightly. This piece of thunderwood was of extremely high quality and had many wonderful uses. Just using it to study and comprehend it would be very useful.

He vaguely sensed a familiar aura of the Vast Water, and saw a white iron chariot chasing a beam of light that seemed to have vanished into the sky. The figure fleeing ahead was quite familiar to Xu Xuan.

See turbidity.

The True Person of the Yama Palace had a faint aura of evergreen wood emanating from his sleeves. He had actually managed to take away a magical wood talisman with his early Purple Mansion cultivation, which was quite remarkable.

But the one chasing after them wasn't Chu Hai?
Xu Xuan was willing to help him. If he were in human form, he would have drawn his sword immediately. But in dragon form, he had no reason to help, not to mention that he had given the other party a good beating back then.

Chu Hai is injured. It remains to be seen whether the Yama Palace has any protective measures in place.

Above the grotto, the crack widened further, and countless beams of immortal light could be faintly seen shining through it. Gray lightning pierced the sky, thunder roared, and lightning flashed.

Xu Xuan's supernatural powers became increasingly intense, with the [Thunderous Swamp] being the most active. Divine energy filled his inner landscape, and the Heart Cauldron slowly rose and fell into the swamp, continuously pouring out chaotic energy.

The chaotic lightning flowed throughout the entire Thunder Swamp, and this divine power underwent some indescribable change, which perfectly complemented the changes in the [Qi Heng Xia Lun], making it even easier for Xu Xuan to control the chaotic energy.

He looked up at the sky and seemed to see an endless thunderous swamp, circling and turning, with large stars falling into it and a vast, chaotic energy dissipating.

The True Lord has arrived.
-
The outer perimeter of the grotto.

The lush vegetation grew wildly, the formation was revived, and the sun in the sky had disappeared, leaving only the character "闲" (xián), which emitted a faint blue light.

The brilliance of the Bing fire quickly vanished, and Liu Xiao felt a sense of foreboding. All sorts of strange phenomena indicated that a great change was about to happen here.

Based on his years of travel experience, he knew that this was the time to flee. Whenever there were unusual phenomena in the East China Sea, those who went to watch the spectacle were the ones who died the fastest.

He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with surprise.

A hideous crack appeared above the Azure Leaf Sky, running north to south, reflecting the boundless void. At this moment, the entire cave heaven gradually began to connect with the void, making it walkable.

This celestial paradise was destined to fall.

He walked to the edge of the cave and finally saw the way out. A heavenly gate, radiating a soft white light, was located there. It was strangely shaped and seemed to be made of folded white paper. Outside the gate was a scene of the human world.

A way out.

Liu Xiaowen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he hesitated. However, apart from the Heavenly Gate, the rest of the area was covered by a burst of Jiamu radiance, and the formation was activated, blocking his way.

The tremors in the cave grew more intense, the array behind it revived, and the radiance of the Jia wood soared into the sky with overwhelming power, leaving Liu Xiaowen with no choice but to rush into the gate.

Upon entering, the scenery changed; the original worldly scene quickly dissipated, and he seemed to have entered a stage.

A stage made of yellow mud stands here, with many paper dolls on it. Their faces are like ordinary people, but their bodies are different, with traces of ink flowing through them.

The paper figures of men and women on the stage all looked on with smiles on their faces, busy with their own tasks, as if setting up the venue. When they saw outsiders entering, they all called out to them.

"We have guests. Please have a seat."
