Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 641 Position A
Southern Capital.

Faint silver lightning began to appear in the sky above the void, crisscrossing and motionless, outlining the shape of a portal, from which thunder could be heard from time to time.

inside the door.

A sea of ​​silvery-white lightning churned in the air, while countless runes crisscrossed in the void above, forming the foundation for the existence of this small secret realm.

On the dark-colored Taoist platform, a person sat in meditation.

The Big Dipper gradually brightened, fixing the sky, while the black law hung below it, as if sensing the impending calamity and continuously descending, echoing the entire secret realm.

Xu Xuan silently sensed the changes in the supernatural power within his inner vision. The [Extinction of Fate] technique had been nurtured to its peak, and now it only needed one more [Thunder Oath] to reach perfection.

In ancient times, when the Thunder Palace bestowed punishments, it would first announce the crime, then state that it was acting on behalf of Heaven to carry out the punishment, and finally execute the offender.

An oath is a covenant and a promise; it is a way of communicating with the community to ascertain the righteousness of one's actions in inflicting punishment.

Once a cultivator achieves enlightenment, they gain the recognition of heaven and earth, and their every move exudes righteousness. Often, by activating this supernatural power, they can instantly reduce their opponents to the status of being abandoned by heaven and earth, or to rebellious and wicked villains.

The most obvious example is the Heavenly Thunder. This method emphasizes the connection between heaven and man, but once one is struck by this supernatural power, its effectiveness is greatly reduced.

Xu Xuan got up and began to make an oath according to the records in the "Northern Dipper Thunder Oath Scroll", taking his life as collateral to Heaven and Earth and the laws of the Earth and Thunder as witnesses, gradually perfecting his supernatural powers.

His aura grew increasingly magnificent and majestic, like a radiant deity sitting high in the heavens, while his own life began to merge with the heavens and earth, even merging with the same laws and regulations.

"To reverse Yin and Yang is punishable by death."

“Disrespecting the Five Elements shall be punished.”

"Those who defy the laws of Heaven shall be punished."

“Now I will carry out the divine punishment. Those who use it will be rewarded before the gods, and those who abandon it will be executed on the execution platform.”

At this moment, his life was rapidly connecting with the entire secret realm, becoming extremely important and vast. Every word and action of his had the profound power to influence heaven and earth, and within his inner realm, a celestial altar was gradually forming, located beneath Thunder City.

Below the altar, there was a strange sight of a king making an oath, with all the armies following him, while above the altar, there was a faintly visible divine statue, holding a sword and a bell, with three heads and six arms.

The Thunder Oath is fulfilled, and supernatural powers are perfected!
Xu Xuan took a deep breath, and at this moment he silently sensed the changes in the mystical phenomena within his body.

The Big Dipper, which was previously cultivated, is the foundation of the [Extinction of Life] combat technique. It has wonderful uses such as enhancing the body, breaking laws and bringing down calamities, and increasing killing power. It is most adept at dealing with methods such as substitution and prolonging life.

The Heavenly Altar, transformed from this thunderous oath, is the core of destroying destiny. With its own righteousness, it carries out heavenly punishment, not only directly reducing the opponent's destiny but also causing them to fall into a state of evil and rebellion, making them unapproachable by heaven and earth.

Moreover, if thunder magic is used, this altar can further elevate its status, even risking its own life to fight to the death to kill the enemy.

Xu Xuan suddenly stood up, and the world before him became extremely clear, fixed by crisscrossing celestial laws. If anyone tried to activate their divine power again, they would be seen through in an instant and even knocked down.

He looked at the black law with lightning-fast eyes.

A finger-length, dark black scripture floated in the air. Activating supernatural powers, it seemed to have connected with something and began to sense it.

The silver sea of ​​lightning began to tremble and churn, surging across the sky. As the runes were parted, Xu Xuan seemed to see countless celestial palaces, divine platforms, thunder pavilions, and thunder halls, faintly revealing the imposing power of the ancient Thunder Palace.

All of this was an illusion, but Xu Xuan, through the Black Law, truly felt the aura of countless calamities condensed, which made his life tremble and his supernatural powers resonate. The two calamities reacted the most violently, rapidly activating and surging, their power greatly increasing.

However, this sensation quickly dissipated, the black law fell, the light dimmed, and it returned to Xu Xuan's inner vision, while the power of the two calamities increased again.

The Tribulation of the Big Dipper has a texture similar to lead and mercury, and is dark blue all over. It flows endlessly, and if even a little bit of it touches the body, the protective aura, or even the means of substitution and life extension will show signs of being broken.

The tribulation of exile is like thick soil, constantly multiplying. Its color is dark black. Once it falls into the inner realm, it will rapidly grow and spread, filling the opponent's inner realm without any gaps, while simultaneously sensing the heavenly tribulation.

This is a calamity, specifically designed to target cultivators. It is extremely difficult to eliminate and can even harm one's life.

"Black Law, if we can't sense that aura anymore, does that mean we've been rejected?"

Xu Xuan originally intended to summon that black law again to sense the calamity, but every time he tried to activate it, it would instantly disconnect, forcing him to temporarily abandon the idea.

"The Thunder Palace has three laws, which are divided into black, white, and green. Among them, the black law has the greatest power and the heaviest killing force. It is also the key to activating immortal artifacts and is the most important for status."

Tian Tuo's voice suddenly rang out, sounding somewhat weary.

“Cultivators of the Northern Thunder lineage not only have the method to cultivate the Black Law, but also the secret ritual to gain the approval of the Thunder Palace. Only by combining the two can they sense the past calamities.”

"Calamities are used by the ancient Thunder Palace to rectify the world and cleanse evil deeds; tribulations are used to temper true cultivators and punish evil spirits, specifically to deal with cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan put away the Black Law and slowly strolled around.

"So, the only thing I lack now is the approval of the Thunder Palace and this secret ritual. Otherwise, I could have learned from the ancient Thunder Palace cultivators and sensed this immortal artifact."

"That's natural. The proper name for [Myriad Calamities] is [The Primordial Thunder-Controlling Myriad Calamities Temple], which is the fundamental instrument of the Temple Thunder. It is also called the Dao Proof and is on the same level as the [Eastern Extreme Profound Bright Gate] of the ancient Mingxian Daoist lineage. It is said to have the power to command heaven and earth, suppress all immortals, and rectify the Great Dao." Tian Tuo's tone quickened considerably when he thought of this matter.

"Speaking of the struggle in the South China Sea, the two Dragon Lords, the one of whom is Jiamu, may have been able to attain enlightenment because he obtained the destiny of the [Eastern Extreme Profound Brightness Gate].

Xu Xuan's mind stirred, and after a moment's thought, he realized that he had discussed the matter of Qingye Kongtian in the South China Sea with Tian Tuo several times when the dragon body was in seclusion.

"The practice of self-respect is the way of enlightenment. One day, he ascended to the Jia wood position, causing the Jian wood to be rebuilt. But whether this is good or bad is unknown."

"His connection with [Xuanxian] indicates that it is a scheme of the Shaoyang lineage, and it is very likely that it is passed down from Mingxian to Donghua. It may even be related to that Jian Sui Ancient Immortal."

Thunder rumbled and roared in unison.

"However, Donghua has declined to such a state now, and it is unknown what attitude this Dragon Lord holds."

Tian Tuo remained cautious and would never reveal his identity. Even after becoming a True Lord, he would continue to conceal his true identity.

"The intervention of that person from Beihai to help Tianyu achieve enlightenment might explain something."

Xu Xuan recalled what he had seen at the time and was shocked. This was probably the first time that True Monarch had made a move in a thousand years, and it was for Tian Yu. However, the entanglement between them was quite difficult to understand.

“You can’t place too much hope in that True Lord. Although His methods are advanced, if we follow the records in the Shangxiao, His condition is probably different from that of the other True Lords. We can’t judge him by ordinary standards.”

"You do not understand that person."

If Tian Tuo had given any warning, Xu Xuan would have been fully aware of the matter.

If that True Monarch Xuanhun has no hidden dangers, why doesn't he follow his path more widely, establish a wider lineage, and carry out his own plans? You should know that, given the current situation, there are probably very few Golden Core cultivators who can compare to him.

However, this one stays in the Thunder Swamp outside the heavens and rarely descends to the mortal realm, which is enough to show some signs.

He could have directly given orders to the dragon's body, but He always gave ambiguous instructions and never showed any human-like behavior, which made Xu Xuan somewhat puzzled.

If Xu Xuan wishes to attain enlightenment, he must have a sufficient understanding of that Xuanhun Zhenjun before he dares to seek his help.

How can we get more information?

Xu Xuan's eyes shone brightly. He suddenly stopped at the edge of the platform, where a vast sea of ​​silver lightning churned before him.

"That Dragon Lord of Jia Wood!"

He suddenly spoke, having made his decision.

"The connection between the Tianye Dao lineage and Zhenlei is extremely deep. In fact, Gucha was on good terms with Tianhuo and even sought the Dao from Xuanhun. Furthermore, the Dragon Lord of Jiamu received assistance from Zhenlei, so they must have some understanding of each other."

"Perhaps, I can use my dragon form to actively contact that Dragon Lord."

"This is far too risky. The East Sea is extremely hostile to that person. If you make contact, I'm afraid..."

"Does the East Sea really have a friendly relationship with me? Apart from the Hao Xuan Dragon King lineage, and because of the Fire Crow, the rest of the dragon species, regardless of whether they are Han Ling or not, probably all want to take my life."

Xu Xuan's tone grew increasingly serious as he continued:
"Now, interactions between people in the Purple Mansion are no longer of much help to me. Only by speaking through the Golden Core can I get a glimpse of the road ahead."

"Jia Wood, the time is ripe!"

His heart was filled with excitement, but he decided to take the risk. If he simply followed the steps to cultivate supernatural powers, even if he had the ability to transform, would he really be able to achieve the Golden Core in the end?
It wasn't that he doubted the cultivation level of that Xuanhun Zhenjun; on the contrary, after the incident in the South China Sea, he was certain that this great man in the Zhenlei position was among the top in the world.

However, this person seemed to have no humanity whatsoever, like a completely Taoist deity.

This was not his guess, but a deduction based on various signs. The [Heart-Gathering Cauldron] was hinting at something, and the characteristics of the Chaotic Thunder were completely constant, meaning there were no strange changes.

His mind gradually calmed down. Now that he was in human form, he should search for cultivation methods to achieve supernatural powers, while in dragon form he should try to connect with the Golden Core, especially that Heavenly Dragon Lord, who might be the key to his enlightenment.

The lightning within the secret realm grew increasingly chaotic and trembling, and this relic showed signs of depletion. Xu Xuan pushed open the portal behind him, took a step out, and returned to the Southern Capital Void.

Ahead, a celestial soldier clad in golden armor awaited. Upon seeing Xu Xuan, he immediately obeyed the imperial decree and respectfully said:
"Lord Xu, His Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace."

'Heavenly Chi'

Xu Xuan's mind stirred slightly. He still remembered the other party's subtle probing, and he might still have to rely on His Majesty's methods for his next Thunderclap Technique.

Ahead lay a sacred path formed by incense and golden energy, leading directly to a vermilion imperial palace. The radiant light of the fire was intense, and there was a faint aura of dead wood being burned.

"Yes, Jia seized Guangyi. Since Tianyu has attained enlightenment, he took away Guangmu's Shaoyang nature, extinguishing its last bit of life force. Guangmu... now there should be a conclusion."
