Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 645 Questioning the Corpse
Mountain top.

Bai Jun's momentum gradually subsided. The "Fengshe Order" had been wiped out and could not be rebuilt for a while, but it did not cause much damage to his combat strength. If the fight continued, the outcome would be hard to say.

As the nominal master of the Great Li Divine Path, he now sees someone who can truly threaten his position, and his feelings change slightly.

"Raiden Department."

Among the various divine departments in the country, only the Mountain and Thunder Departments possess magical treasures for suppression; even the Fire Department does not have such an honor, which demonstrates the status of these two departments.

"I have imprisoned the Wenyao under the temple. It cannot be moved lightly. I will only give you a moment to question it."

Bai Jun acted decisively, turned and left, instantly disappearing into the light of the earth, leaving no trace.

Xu Xuan sheathed his sword, descended on the wind, and was still pondering the previous battle.

He had just seen it clearly; the wound on Bai Lin's neck was also separated by the boundary of the Wu Guang, not touching the inner realm, so it was difficult to harm his life and was quickly peeled away.

'Earth (戊) can avert calamity, but it cannot avoid disaster.'

Xu Xuan's mind stirred slightly. Calamities and tribulations are clearly divided within the Thunder Palace lineage. Some lineages are better at avoiding calamities but not at avoiding tribulations, such as True Qi and Wood, while Earth is the opposite.

'The Three Calamities' Inner Decree states: We are still missing a Ding Fire artifact. If all else fails, we'll have to ask Dou Yan.'

He made up his mind, but then he saw the precious light of the Gen Earth pierce through the sky and land in front of him.

An old Taoist priest in a light yellow robe stepped forward. Qu Ling was leading the Wen Yao, and the golden-white chain in his hand shone brightly.

"If you have any questions, please ask. However, I will be taking Fellow Daoist Wei back in a moment. If we disobey the orders of the Mountain God, we will face dire consequences."

"it is good."

The old Taoist priest adopted a very humble attitude, and Xu Xuan did not want to make things difficult for him.

Although we haven't been able to take Rang An away yet, if we can resolve the matter by questioning him, there's no need to continue arguing with Bai Jun.

Qu Ling made a hand seal, and the golden-white chain in his hand loosened. A true spirit jumped out from the Wenyao. It was a man in a blue-yellow Taoist robe. He was refined and scholarly. It was none other than the Rang'an Zhenren, Wei Xiuwen.

The other party cultivated the Earth element and was once a high-ranking figure in the Qingwu Dao, but now he has been humiliated like this. It is truly a testament to the unpredictability of life.

"please."

Qu Ling was very pragmatic and immediately left, not intending to wait on the sidelines.

Rang An looked flustered, his soul light trembling. When he saw the sword-wielding Taoist in front of him, his eyes narrowed and his face showed a hint of fear.

"Lord Xu, what business do you have with me?"

Why do you think so?

Xu Xuan stared straight at him, lightning flashing and gathering on the other's true spirit, a profound aura of tribulation about to descend at any moment.

"My lord, what happened back then was orchestrated by Wei Zhaojia. I—"

Rang An looked fearful, but he still had some confidence in his heart. He guessed that the other party would not kill him directly. On the contrary, with Qingwu Dao surrendering to Liao, he, as the only remaining Yun Tu Zhenren in Da Li, had his own value.

"I have come to you today to ask you two questions."

The silver runes appeared out of nowhere, crisscrossing and pressing down on Rang An's true spirit, making it appear even lower.

"You know the power of my supernatural abilities, which allow me to discern truth from falsehood. If you deceive me, in addition to carrying this temple on your back, you will also be subject to constant punishment by thunder."

"I don't dare."

Rang An had regained his composure by this time, and it must be said that he had even begun to ponder the other party's demands and how he could use them to improve his situation.

The split of Qingwu Dao was orchestrated by Ji Huo Zhenren, the ancestor of the Wei family, who ordered him to defect to Dali and submit to the emperor as a sign of good fortune.

However, things were a bit beyond his expectations. At first, he was somewhat pleased to be transferred to the Divine Department. After all, it was extremely difficult to seek the Dao in the Earthly Realm, and it was even more difficult to cultivate his own supernatural powers. If he could entrust his life to the Divine Path and receive the promotion from the Fire of Departure, it would be a stroke of good fortune.

But of all people, I ended up with this Bai Lin!
He had long anticipated Bai Jun's brutality. The so-called benevolent beasts and auspicious omens were viewed from the perspective of the Daoist tradition. The metal-type creations had no humanity at all, so how could they be benevolent?

Even though Wei Xiuwen possessed the Wenyao fortune, which could be considered an auspicious omen, how many lives had he taken and committed sins over the years? But this did not hinder his cultivation of supernatural powers, as long as he did not make any mistakes in the direction of the Daoist tradition.

"Back then, you sent Wei Fengnian to kidnap my disciples and use sorcery to transform one of them into a brocade snake. Do you remember?"

“Of course I remember.” Rang An’s mind raced. With the spiritual consciousness of the Purple Mansion, it was too easy for him to remember everything he had seen. He could recall anything he had seen in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The person being referred to was not the grave sheep, but a woman who practiced Taoism.

"She cultivated the Earth element, and back then she was only at the Qi Refining stage. Do you have any means to turn her back into human form?"

Xu Xuan's eyes blazed, his tone sharp, and a hint of sword intent emanated from him, directly targeting his opponent.

The matter of Zhang Gaoxia is a regret for the sect. Over the years, he has consulted many supernatural beings, but none of them have been able to handle this spiritual change. Now, he can only hope that Rang An can help.

"Earth element, this is not a good situation."

"You're a Purple Mansion cultivator, and you can't even cure a Qi Refining cultivator?"

Thunder surged, threatening to strike at any moment. Rang An, currently manifesting only as a true spirit and cultivating earth magic, was utterly terrified of thunder. He immediately replied:

"I am not trying to deceive you, sir. Other Earth elements are easier to save, but the Earth element of Ji is the most special. Have you ever seen a person with the supernatural power of Earth? Even Foundation Establishment cultivators rarely see them!"

His words were sincere, and under the influence of his supernatural powers, they were not false, which gradually made Xu Xuan stop.

“I am skilled at driving humans into beasts and enlightening spirits. If I want to reverse this process, I also have the means. However, Jitu is a formless earth, which requires the evil energy of the earth to reverse it. The supernatural power required is something I have not yet cultivated.”

"Which earth-based cultivation methods did you practice? Do you have any techniques for them?"

Xu Xuan's tone grew serious, but then he heard Rang An say:
"Reporting to my lord, Wei Zhaojia is wary of me. He only taught me [Year Accumulation] and [Clear Green Dawn], but he did not teach me the other three supernatural abilities."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan frowned. He had been hoping that Rang An could cure Gao Xia and also obtain the Divine Power of the Grave Sheep, but today, upon asking, he found that the other party could not do either.

"You're good for nothing, what use are you!"

As lightning gathered and descended from the sky, a surge of anger rose within him, startling Rang An into immediately bowing down and repeatedly saying:
"My lord, please wait! My lord, please wait! It's not that there's no way!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan stopped and waited quietly for the other party to speak. He wanted to see what else Rang An had to say.

"My Wei clan ancestor was the [Chimo] True Person of the Qingyang Daoist lineage. When Shu fell, she separated from the palace and fled north to establish the Qingwu Daoist lineage, with my Wei clan as its leader."

“And I also have some of the methods of Qingyang Palace.”

Rang An's gaze shifted, as if a ghostly light emanated from it.

"When the first True Monarch of the Qingyang Dao lineage attained enlightenment and obtained the Fruit of Nourishment, he was known as the Desolate End. He buried the corpse of the Taiyou Tomb Sheep in the Dao, intending to refine it into a magic weapon. However, fearing the ancient demon would be resurrected, he abandoned it and stored it in the magic weapon, the Great Desolate Cauldron."

"The Five Methods of Earth Nourishment are the complete Qingyang Dao lineage, which were inscribed on the demon corpse by several True Lords. Among them, four of the techniques correspond to the Four Spirits."

“In ancient times, if someone possessed the destiny of earth, they could directly worship this corpse using secret methods and obtain the most fundamental inheritance, as well as many benefits. This is how I obtained the [Years of Accumulation].

He revealed the profound mysteries, activated the Dharma light, and condensed it into three volumes of Taoist scriptures.

"My lord, both of my cultivation techniques are included here, as is the method of questioning the corpse with true spirit. However, Wei Zhaojia is always wary of me, and I truly do not know about the core of the clan!"

Xu Xuan took the three Daoist books and glanced at them briefly. He found that they were "Che Tu Dian Qing Jing", "Ji Ren Fu Dao Fa", and "Jun Wen You Shi".

Tian Tuo, who was observing from the side, took a look.

"There's really no problem."

"My lord, you can certainly allow me to break through to the next level of supernatural powers before attempting to save him. But could you please forgive my past offenses?"

Rang An dared not make any further demands, only hoping that the other party would not pursue the past. If Lei Bu also targeted him, he would truly have no chance of survival.

"Take care of yourself."

With a flash of lightning, it vanished into the void, leaving only Rang An here. The face of this man from the Earthly Purple Mansion quickly darkened. He looked back at the distant Wu Guang, and seemed to be able to vaguely see the white scale.

'Someday—'

Boom!

A vast expanse of divine light descended from the sky, and the precious temple swiftly reclaimed his true spirit, leaving only a dazed and confused divine ray in the air, letting out a few mournful cries before heading back into the mountains.
