Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 637 Continued
South China Sea, sky.

The brilliant and dazzling crimson aurora faded away, the roar of the dragon echoed through the heavens and earth, and a body that blotted out the sky could be faintly seen weaving through the dark clouds, pressing down on the vast sea and causing huge waves to surge.

At the edge of the Yu Hai, the dragon tree had completely merged with the roots of the Jianmu tree, the two merging and soaring straight up to the infinite heights, their branches and leaves extending into the void.

The shimmering blue light of the sun shone brightly, nourishing the vast golden forest below. Blue divine crows flew through the forest, their mournful cries like the sobs of a woman.

"What a devastating blow! I have lost my lord!"

In the distance of Yu Hai, a tall woman dressed in a green wooden armor stood on the sea, black flames scattered on half of her arm, occasionally exploding, yet her face possessed an extraordinary calmness.

The bird perched on my shoulder sang with a passionate, plaintive cry.

Guang Su felt the supernatural powers within her body begin to be activated in a way beyond her comprehension, as if a change was taking place, allowing her to glimpse the faint traces of immortals in the sky.

Dragons fight.

The aurora spanning the heavens and earth is but a few ripples it creates; the crimson orb-like lights, like conch shells, churn and move with the dragon's body rising into the universe.

Sunrise in broad daylight dispels everything.

A sound like something breaking was heard, and a large, red, six-pointed star could be seen falling from the sky, heading straight into the East China Sea, stirring up towering waves and carving a deep rift in the sky.

The solar magic weapon from the ancient Tianye lineage suddenly unleashed its power, causing the endless dark clouds covering the South China Sea to dissipate, and streaks of white light to appear on the tens of thousands of miles of sea.

Guang Su took a deep breath, and saw that the green tree was becoming more and more magical, reaching straight into the sky, with no top in sight. It seemed to be continuing to grow, merging with the Jianmu tree in the green leaves and sky.

'The Jianmu Tree Continues.'

The entire South China Sea gradually stabilized, with countless strands of azure qi and golden light rising from the trees, creating a peaceful scene. Various supernatural powers gradually emerged from the void at the edge of the Yu Hai Sea, gazing up at these trees.

A faintly visible Azure Dragon appears in the eastern sky, carrying a star and falling upon the Jianmu tree, exuding the grand aura of the Jia wood element.

A Taoist priest dressed in a green robe appeared, standing in the Yu Hai, stepping into the air. On his calm and serene face, three scars surrounded by crimson light could be faintly seen.

He smiled and with a flick of his finger, the injury vanished.

The surrounding seas trembled violently, and many supernatural powers that had not had time to retreat revealed themselves, all their gazes fixed on that Taoist, some with fear, some with reverence, and some with dread.

A vast aura of merit descended upon the world, and the Jianmu tree had fully recovered, reaching the highest point, thus stabilizing the world and making the vast sea as solid as a rock.

The Taoist priest spoke, and his voice resounded throughout the area.

“Jia Guangcheng, I am here to borrow your way.”

The golden character "闲" (leisure) appeared atop the Jianmu tree, while a divine and majestic azure dragon coiled in the sky, stirring the great star. All the supernatural beings present looked surprised, as if they had realized something, and they all focused their attention, not daring to miss a single detail.

But the Taoist priest did not stop. His status was still changing, causing the South China Sea to tremble and the heavens and earth to resound. The Jianmu tree behind him was like a celestial ladder that pierced through the heavens and earth, beginning to draw something from the Great Luo.

"For all time."

His voice suddenly rang out, followed by bursts of dragon roars, and an immortal aura manifested on his body, unmoved by the passage of time.

"Ling Yun."

An extremely lofty and majestic aura descended, further elevating the figure, forcing the surrounding supernatural beings to look up to this Taoist.

"Transform into lightning".

Purple lightning, like a winding dragon, fell from the branches and leaves of the Jianmu tree behind them and flowed into the sea, making the lightning energy in the sea even more vigorous.

Within the divine power, a figure dressed in purple robes stepped out. Xu Xuanlong's eyes were calm and composed. At this moment, the aura on his body was extremely strong. Even without his activation, the lightning around him still brought with it wisps of chaotic energy.

“The result is proven by the Venerable One.”

A figure with a bluish-gray aura emerged beside him, and the aura of the sorcerer god seemed to become increasingly active.

"This is the [Elucidation of the Dao]."

Jiu Cang's voice echoed softly. This ancient demon seemed to be sighing. Her supernatural powers changed constantly, as if she were worshipping, and she gradually became tainted with a trace of Jia wood energy.

“The Dao is inherent within it, and I come to elucidate it, not to borrow it, nor to seek it, but to prove it in one breath, just like the ancient immortals who attained enlightenment, so that the Great Dao bows down.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan raised his head and heard the Taoist priest chanting again.

"Tianye".

Endless green leaves obscure the sky, yet gaps allow the sunlight to filter through, causing vegetation to flourish and creating a vibrant spring scene.

At the top of the Jianmu tree, the golden character "Xian" suddenly shattered, as if countless green bamboos fell from the sky and took root in the sea, while the primordial wood energy soared into the sky.

The Taoist priest held a wooden ruler in his hand, as if issuing a decree.

“Horn returns.”

A series of clear and melodious sounds rang out between heaven and earth, calming the fire and reducing dryness, high but not shrill, low but not sluggish, making all the supernatural beings present feel invigorated and their livers nourished.

A blue-green dragon rose from the Jianmu tree, landed in the eastern sky, and ruled over all the stars, with a bright blue star between its horns.

The fruit position of Jia wood is [leaf ash].

"I, Tianyu, will expound the Dao today."

The wind and clouds shifted, and thunder roared. At this moment, the Taoist spoke, revealing his true name. Blue scales faintly appeared on his face, shifting between a human face and a dragon's head.

“The sound of the horn of the Yuan Dynasty is returned to the Jia wood, and the Jian wood is re-erected, thus forming the ladder to immortality.”

“I follow the grace of the sun, receive the nurturing of the lesser yang, and live forever, nurturing vast forests. The earth element is called the leak-free, and the wood element is also restrained by it.”

Before Him appeared something that was a green wooden immortal tower surrounded by Yang Hua, floating and sinking, communicating with the Ye Cang star above, and finally being swallowed by the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Heaven.

"Jia (甲) represents the upper part of Yuan (元) and the lower part of Guang (广). It can serve as the foundation for Yuan wood and the rise of Guang wood. From this point on, Jia wood will flourish throughout the world, serving as a ladder between the immortals and the Yang wood."

The Taoist's voice resounded between heaven and earth. The Jia wood radiance underwent wondrous transformations, and His status had been elevated. The Azure Dragon of the Eastern Heaven descended in a spiral, and He rode the dragon and ascended into the heavens.

"Congratulations, True Lord."

Then, shouts of respect were heard, and the divine power bowed. The Jianmu tree in the direction of Yu Hai also took flight, the vast sea churned, and finally transformed into a line of blue light and disappeared into the eastern sky.

"Tianzhou, if you do not arrive at the Battle of Wanqu, I will destroy your cultivation."

A chilling sound arose, and once again, a crimson band of light rose into the sky from the direction of the East Sea. Countless twisted dragon and serpent bodies could be faintly seen within it, and a furious roar came from within as it plunged into the heavens. The South Sea trembled and churned endlessly.

"It all depends on the outcome of the match between these gentlemen."

Jiu Cang continued in a low, melancholy tone:
"From now on, the position of Jiamu has a master. However, this lord still uses the title of Dragon Lord and does not use the name of Immortal Dao. It is probably because he has no intention of re-establishing Tianye."

Xu Xuan silently raised his hand, and a bolt of gray lightning burst forth from his palm, its power greatly increasing, even growing at a visible speed, causing Jiu Cang beside him to show some apprehension.

The resounding vibrations continued for miles around.
-
"Her supernatural powers have changed?"

Near the Black Pond of the Western Sea, a man dressed in a black robe of wind and thunder stood firmly, holding a blue Taoist book in his hand, radiating a mysterious light, and exuding extraordinary power.

"【Stupid Horn】has gone and risen to Jia Wood, incorporating 【Cracked Jia House】into one. Now, Yuan Wood has returned to 【Playing the Jade Flute】, but its power has not been diminished, and its status has even been raised higher."

Tian Tuo looked puzzled. The Qingyuan Yiyang Book, as an ancient Taoist artifact, had its own wondrous uses and could even sense the changes in the Five Wood Divine Powers. At this moment, it showed signs of change.

"Tianyu Chandao, removing the Jiaoyin, isn't that a bad thing for Yuanmu?"

At this moment, Tian Tuo was slightly surprised and doubtful. The supernatural power of "Stupid Horn Raising" could activate the horn sound to heal injuries and cure diseases, and it could also evolve evil roots to kill enemies and break laws. It was an extremely powerful supernatural power.

【弄碧箫】 can control music, and can even use position to borrow the tone of Jia wood, and has many more vocal variations. It can also invite the phoenix to come, make all birds pay homage, and nurture Mount Taihua, and grow sword bamboo.

This supernatural power has the wonder of being close to true qi and the metal element, and carries the lofty and grand spirit of ancient immortals. It even removes the last bit of evil from the original wood, leaving only the righteous virtue of bamboo, like the nature of a gentleman.

Tian Tuo felt as if something tangible was vibrating within his inner vision. With a thought, a spiritual sword made of green bamboo was released.

The originally damaged cyan-gold sword body began to repair itself rapidly. Now that it was fully repaired, the sword rang out like a phoenix, and bursts of primordial wood energy made the sword's power grow even stronger.

【Green Bamboo】

The true name of the sword slowly appeared on its blade. In terms of killing power alone, this ancient treasure made of primordial wood was even superior to the [Eastern Azure Sun Branch] in Tian Tuo's hands.

However, it can only be used in conjunction with swordsmanship to unleash its full power.

Tian Tuo slowly gripped the sword. If it were merely used as a Daoist tool for casting spells, it wouldn't be as effective as the Xuanzhi in his own hand. However, this spiritual sword combined the two natures of Qian and Yuan, allowing cultivators of Yuan Wood, Qian Metal, and Shao Yang to wield it and unleash its power.

He also possessed a scroll of the "Qingxian Xuanjun Sword Manual," which was at least a sixth-grade item. If he were to cultivate sword qi and combine it with this sword manual and his spiritual sword, he could roam freely within the Purple Mansion, let alone be sent by a sword immortal.
'She Lei isn't suited for this kind of thing; that kid can forget about it.'

After a moment's thought, Tian Tuo suddenly remembered something: the [True Yang Dao Seed] in his hand had already been refined, while Xu Xuan still had a [Complete Yang Dao Seed].

Theoretically, this item could create a Shaoyang cultivator, but there has been no suitable candidate in the mountains over the years, so it has remained vacant.

'No, we need to hurry and get him to act. Find someone with talent in swordsmanship. Once they join Donghua, they'll be invaluable.'

He made a note of this matter, and then looked up at the distant sky, trying to see something, but all he could see was endless wind and thunder, which pressed down on the South China Sea and made it churn.

Tian Tuo sighed and was about to retreat when he sensed something and slashed backward with his sword.

A burst of golden light erupted, locking the sword's gleam. An old man in brocade robes emerged from the void, smiling broadly as he looked on.
"What a wonderful feeling! I think you have a bright future in cultivating the Lesser Yang realm."

Tian Tuo's heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained normal. He sheathed his sword and smiled faintly.
"Who do we have here? It's Senior Baoqiu. May I ask what brings you here?"

At this moment, he was secretly accumulating supernatural powers. If the other party showed any abnormality, he would immediately escape. After all, the deterrent power of a hidden gold master was still quite terrifying, especially for a direct descendant of the Duobao lineage.

"This is the first time since the founding of the Great Li Kingdom that there has been such a great upheaval, with True Lords fighting each other, and even that great man from the North Sea has appeared."

Bao Qiu casually summoned several Purple Mansion spiritual objects, namely a dark red Yin Fire, a blue-green treasure vine, and a deep purple thunder nectar, which were arranged in front of him.

"senior."

Tian Tuo frowned slightly, but then he saw Bao Qiu suddenly withdraw his magic power, and the three spiritual objects began to change.

The thunderous magma churned, and the chaotic energy dissipated, instantly suppressing the yin fire and the radiance of the precious vine. A muffled thunderclap suddenly exploded, as if a thunderbolt was about to strike.

Bao Qiu put away the spiritual items and smiled:
"From this day forward, thunder will rise across the land, bringing great fortune to the Divine Firmament. This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. Does the True Man Bi Mo you speak of not know this?"

"I have been away from the sect for many years, so I don't know what level the sect master's cultivation has reached."

Tian Tuo pretended to be stupid at the moment. He did not know the other party's intentions, so he would not tell the other party about the situation of his sect. But the other party just smiled and took out something.

A divine egg formed from celestial lightning appeared before Bao Qiu, its energy dissipating and its spirituality overflowing. Bao Qiu then spoke:

"The [Sky Essence Body] in my hand was originally the birthplace of the Sky Thunder Spirit. My Dao only accepts the spiritual essence, and the remaining outer shell also has many wonderful uses. If your sect can use it, you can come to my Dao to exchange it in ten days."

'So that's what it was for.'

Tian Tuo turned his gaze to the divine egg. This item undoubtedly belonged to Gu Xiao Lei, and it would come in handy.

"In that case, thank you, senior."

"It's nothing. I hope you will come in person at that time, and I will not bother you any further."

After Baoqiu finished speaking, he stepped into the void and disappeared, leaving Tiantuo alone there.

"The sky has broken."

Tian Tuo gazed upwards with a deep, mysterious look. He saw several hideous cracks in the sky above the center of the South China Sea, within which thunder could be faintly seen bursting forth, thorns tangled, and eerie candles burning.

If it weren't for the continued growth of that Jianmu tree, the entire South China Sea would likely have been destroyed. The current calm in the sea is actually thanks to the Pudu Holy Land located in the far south.

The pure white light of water continued to evolve, repairing the heavens and earth and stabilizing the sea. Tian Tuo was in a daze, and seemed to see a female figure standing between the sea and the sky, wearing a black and white robe, with tears in her eyes, embracing the entire South China Sea.

'Yuanmu.'

The strange phenomenon disappeared in a daze, and the clear energy circulated in Tian Tuo's sea of ​​consciousness, gradually calming his mind.

'Everyone says this person has a compassionate heart, and it's true. If no one were to protect this place, I'm afraid most of the South China Sea would have sunk into the sea eye and fallen into the Ruins of Return.'

Tian Tuo's thoughts changed, he sighed, and headed north. Gradually, he left the sea and passed Zhuya. There, he saw a burst of ten thousand feet of crimson lightning.

Originally, there were many islands in this place, covering a vast area of ​​the sea, with a population of millions of immortals and mortals. But now, they have all melted away under the crimson lightning, turning into twisted, bloody monsters.

Tian Tuo's heart was not greatly disturbed. As a demon, he had killed countless people in his previous life, including evil people and good people, people who deserved to be killed and people who did not.

'The location of the Spirit Thunder Sky Ark seems rather strange; it's highly likely that He stole it.'
