Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 651 Taixuan
Sichuan, the Great Ridge.

This place is located at the junction of Yi and Yong, thousands of miles away from Qishan, the number one immortal mountain in Shu. It is also home to many heretical sects, and the number of people practicing witchcraft, ghosts, and swordsmanship far exceeds that of other places.

Daling occupies a key location leading out of Shu. In ancient times, it was of paramount importance for the Central Plains to control the southern barbarian tribes. Therefore, it was well maintained and had spiritual structures built around it. It was even transformed into a blessed land. However, it was destroyed when the Dali Kingdom was established.

In the mountains, there is Mount Taixuan.

This mountain is the second most sacred mountain in Sichuan. Now it belongs to Qiuqing Sect and covers an area of ​​nearly a hundred miles. It is located at the spiritual core of the mountain range. The spiritual energy within it is far richer than that of ordinary immortals, enough to support the cultivation of five or six supernatural beings.

Sunlight streamed down, illuminating the various peaks of the mountains. From a verdant peak to the east, a surge of azure light from the Jia wood emanated, pulsating and crackling, producing streaks of purple lightning.

The energy of supernatural powers flowed endlessly. Inside the cave on the peak, a young girl was meditating. She was dressed in a golden and emerald robe and had an excellent appearance, but there was a hint of arrogance between her brows and eyes, making it difficult for people to feel any closeness to her.

"[Yang Xufen] It's done!"

Xiao Dianqing's expression softened considerably, revealing a genuine joy. She had spent a full twenty years comprehending this divine power, during which time either the mystical phenomena collapsed or the divine power dissipated, and it was only today that she had truly achieved it.

This is mainly due to the favorable timing. With thunder and lightning raging across the land and the wood element reviving, it is a perfect opportunity for her to cultivate this supernatural power, making it an excellent path to success.

She made a trip to Qingye Kongtian and gained a lot of benefits. In addition, that fool surnamed Du from Huayin Mountain offered her tributes, and he sent her a lot of precious pills, which is why she broke through so quickly.

【Yang Xu Fen】is a magical technique that can transform wood energy and borrow the power of thunder. It can also be used to pay homage to the yang and cultivate wood nature.

With the changes in the South China Sea, this supernatural power can now not only increase the power of Jia wood by using the sun, but also has some mystery in using Shaoyang to grow and repair.

It should be noted that although the physical body of a Jiamu cultivator is extraordinary and can be described as tough, it is extremely troublesome to repair and requires time to heal. However, the situation has improved now.

She took a step out, leaving the cave, and headed straight for the highest point in the mountain.

The higher one goes, the stronger the sunlight becomes, with crimson clouds rolling endlessly, seemingly burning with flowing flames, while at the top of the mountain stands a dilapidated blue palace.

A golden plaque with the inscription "Feng Xuan" hangs in front of the palace gate, depicting the changing images of the sun and moon.

Xiao Dianqing hesitated slightly, stopping in front of the lapis lazuli-cast gate. His gaze lingered on the ancient sun and moon patterns, until finally a calm and composed male voice came from inside the palace.

"Come in."

She pushed open the door and entered the main hall, where she saw a golden-red palace.

Above it, countless rays of light seemed to surge endlessly, and a circular sundial could be faintly seen hanging on the roof, communicating with the sunlight and finally condensing into streams of Bing fire essence, which were sent down below.

Inside the hall was a jade table with an apricot-yellow banner on top. The divine energy flowed around it, seemingly connected to the depths of the void.

A hand gently stroked the black flag, and the divine aura was instantly obscured, enveloped by the wood element.

Behind the table sat a man with long, dark hair, narrow eyes, and a handsome face. He wore a magnificent gold and jade robe and was holding a Taoist book in his hands, reading it carefully.

Huan Biao, a True Man of the Qiuqing Sect who had recently achieved the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, had already cultivated four Jia Wood Divine Powers and was not too old, so he had a good chance of breaking through to the Five Laws.

"You've mastered your supernatural abilities quite quickly. How much did Du Shaosi give you in return?"

"Master, this..."

"Don't blame me for not warning you, the man surnamed Du is a fool, but he has a good mother. Yu Sui is an extremely shrewd person. Do you think you can lead his son by the nose?"

Huan Biao's gaze remained fixed on the scroll, his words flat, as if he were just mentioning it casually, without showing much concern.

"He brought the elixir himself, but I didn't ask him for it."

Xiao Dianqing's expression remained unchanged, but her tone was somewhat affected. She was still concerned about the identity of that Grand Alchemist. If she really flattered Du Shaosi too much, Huayin would hold her accountable, and things would be difficult to say.

"If you are willing to reconcile with him, choose a day to prepare gifts and become Daoist partners, it would be a wonderful story."

Huan Biao, seated on the throne, put down the scroll in his hand. On the seal were several ancient characters: "Spring Sun Mystic Ginseng".

The great master turned his gaze over, his voice remaining calm and composed, showing no sign of emotion.

"If you look down on him, don't bother with him. You two have already attained supernatural powers and are of noble status, not bound by the etiquette of mortals, but you still need to care about the opinions of the immortals."

"The disciple understands."

Xiao Dianqing's words were ambiguous, but she did not answer directly. She naturally looked down on Du Shaosi, who had mental deficiencies, but considering Hua Yin's background, she was not unwilling to compromise herself.

If she agrees to this, then, putting everything else aside, that Grandmaster Alchemist Yu Sui should send over a top-grade spiritual pill.

Huan Biao's gaze was deep and unfathomable, as if he had already seen through his disciple's thoughts, but he said nothing more. He simply lit the black flag on the table in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"This is a token sent by the Divine Department. You will place it in the great formation later, which will signify the establishment of the name of this place, Nanyue."

Xiao Dianqing accepted the apricot-yellow divine banner, his expression subtly shifting, as if filled with doubt. "Why didn't the Di family choose Qishan, but instead picked our Taixuan sect?"

"Qishan is too complicated. So many people died back then, and it's also the place where Kunwei Heaven fell. If we want to rearrange it, we'll have to get the True Lord to take action."

When Huan Biao spoke of this matter, his tone finally showed some fluctuation.

"When our ancestor entered Shu, he lingered between Qishan and Taixuan. He eventually chose this place, wiped out the Wang family who were stationed here, and established my Dao. However, we thought that the ancient Shu Dao lineage had been extinct, but we did not expect that a new one would rise today. This is quite difficult to deal with."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dianqing immediately understood; she had long harbored this concern as well. She replied:

"Within that Great Crimson Realm, there is a Sword Immortal presiding over it. If we wait until he reaches the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm..."

This has been the sect's concern in recent years. They have witnessed the emergence of a True Person of the Earthly Thunder, who is even a Sword Immortal, who has made great contributions on the frontier battlefield and can be considered a close advisor to the Emperor.

Now that the opponent has mastered three supernatural powers, plus sword intent, even her master might not be able to suppress him.

"Mount Tai Xuan is the foundation of our sect's prosperity and cannot be easily abandoned. Although the Jie-Breaking technique is powerful, it is constrained by the border front and has no time to attend to the Shu region."

Huan Biao's gaze gradually narrowed, and he said calmly:
"Now that Jiamu has been revived and the Immortal Ladder has been rebuilt, our sect can also be subordinate to you, following the example of Qinghua. From today onwards, we will prepare to go to the South China Sea to see if we can meet that person."

He was considering joining the ranks of that Heavenly Dragon Lord, and this new master of Jia Wood should not refuse the assistance of a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. After all, he should be the one with the highest cultivation level in the world of Jia Wood.

Only the [Cracked Armor House] is missing, but this supernatural power has changed and is not easy to cultivate.

"Master is going to sea?"

Xiao Dianqing looked somewhat surprised. The prosperity of the sect was ultimately due to the presence of this late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. If he went to sea and there was no one to oversee it, leaving only her, a mere early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, the situation would be dire.

"If you need anything, just activate the token. From now on, you will be in charge of the mysterious cave within the gate for cultivation."

Huan Biao stood up, holding a blue Sun and Moon Mystic Token with the words "Harmony" engraved on it. The token exuded Dao energy, and he handed it to Xiao Dianqing.

Upon receiving this order, Xiao Dianqing's face showed a hint of unease, but he quickly composed himself and simply said:
"Master, rest assured, I will manage the affairs of the sect well and live up to your trust."

Huan Biao smiled slightly and said nothing more. He didn't care much about Qiu Qing's future, nor did he have any expectations for his disciple.

After all, he saw the supernatural power after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. If it weren't for the spiritual objects produced by the mysterious cave in the sect, Xiao Dianqing would never have been able to achieve the Purple Mansion stage.

'Qiuqing, Nanyue, ah, I will not get involved in the conflict between Liaodong and Liaoning.'

Huan Biao did not reveal the truth. Since Mount Taixuan had been chosen as the Southern Sacred Mountain and had received many benefits from the imperial family, it was also considered to have been incorporated into the divine path. If a war broke out on the border in the future, it might be implicated.

He traveled overseas, ostensibly to seek the Dao, but his true intention was to avoid disaster. As a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, he had his own insights into the situation.

'However, it will be tough on Guiqing.'

Huan Biao rose and stepped into the void, saying nothing more, only hearing farewell voices behind him.

In the main hall of the palace, only Xiao Dianqing remained standing, still holding the Xuan Token in her hand, making her somewhat dazed.

"The Mysterious Cave, is it truly under my control now?"

Although this was a great joy for her, and even made her temporarily forget about her master's departure, her gaze turned to the Blazing Fire Banner.

"Shinto."

Once this flag is set, it will confirm Tai Xuan as the Southern Mountain, and the entire mountain gate will be under the control of the Great Li Divine Path, which will have both advantages and disadvantages.

As her mind calmed down, she stepped into the void and threw the flag into the great formation, causing the entire Tai Xuan Mountain to connect with the endless incense smoke.

Golden energy surged, yet countless rays of light faintly emanated from it, exuding a divine and majestic aura. A crimson flying fish with two wings emerged from within, carrying a temple on its back.

Xiao Dianqing was slightly taken aback. Before he could react, he saw the flying fish heading straight towards Qishan, with layers of brownish-yellow earthen light dragging through the void.

There seemed to be some kind of creature in the temple, which chilled her to the bone, and she hurriedly retreated from the void.

At this moment, riding the wind, looking towards the Shu region, a vast and mighty mysterious light of Wuji was emanating, the earth's energy was churning, and the mountains began to tremble in unison.

Five-colored light soared into the sky, like an imperial canopy, and a black bird descended, its melodious song audible for miles around.

'A black bird?'

Xiao Dianqing's mind raced. Having cultivated in Shu for many years, she naturally understood the significance of this totem. It was the totem of the Shu royal family, and this totem could be traced back to the Yin Dynasty. At that time, the Yin king cultivated the position of Wutu and also held the position of Huozhu.

"This location is Longyang County, which is the territory of the Wei family?"
