Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 677 Instructions
Yan Hai.

This sea is located south of Zhuya. If you want to enter Tianchi, you must pass through this place. In the sea, there is a tall and mysterious red mountain that adorns the islands. You can often see winged creatures flying around.

The sea was calm and still, with faint golden-red flames flickering on the mountain peaks. As the eclipse gradually faded, order began to return to the entire Fengyan Mountain.

The void above the mountain peak suddenly shattered, and lightning flashed by in an instant. Two figures, a man and a woman, descended on the wind and arrived in front of Bingyang Palace.

The doors of the crimson hall were wide open, and a man stood by the side. He was an old cultivator in a crimson robe, his feathers were not pure red, and he looked fearful. His cultivation level was already at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

"This old minister greets both of you!"

This demon is none other than Yang Yanxiang, a fire crow born from a collateral branch. Its bloodline is not pure, but it was once a confidant of the Flame Demon King and handled various affairs in the clan for many years, so its status was not low.

Xu Xuan still remembered him somewhat, but he didn't say much at the moment, instead looking at the person beside him.

Yang Yuanxin took a step forward, and with a slight movement of her magic, lifted the old fire crow in front of her, saying softly:

"Brother, how many troops did you take to the Western Sea? What did you bring with you? Did you give any instructions?"

Her tone revealed a hint of urgency, because if one looked towards the westernmost point, one could see a malevolent light soaring into the sky and the black sun setting, which seemed to be the direction of Sindhu.

"The King led four Foundation Establishment cultivators and three thousand elite Feather Guards from my clan, taking away the [Wei Ri Feng Yan Ge] and the [Tian Yang Wu Huo]. He forbade us to let the news leak out, so he used magic to seal off the mountains and seas, and Feng Yan was only opened today."

Yang Yan had regained his composure and spoke respectfully, recounting everything that had happened.

"As per His Majesty's decree, the Fengyan Palace will now be temporarily managed by Noble Lady Yingling. There are items left by His Majesty in the Bingyang Palace. Please, Your Excellencies, enter."

Yang Yuanxin's expression turned solemn, as if something extremely heavy was suddenly pressing down on her, causing her to sigh involuntarily.

"You may step back and stabilize the clan."

Yang Yan respectfully accepted the order, but before leaving, he looked back anxiously.

"The tribe has experienced much turmoil in recent years. King Huiming's temperament is unpredictable and he is not like before. Many tribesmen are hoping for the noble lady's return to take charge."

"There's no need to talk about this anymore."

A hint of seriousness crept into Yang Yuanxin's expression. She looked westward and said softly:
“My brother has never changed from beginning to end; he cares far more about the future of the clan than I do.”

Yang Yanxiang was slightly taken aback, said no more, and respectfully withdrew, but a sense of desolation rose in his heart that he could not suppress.

Back then, when our ancestor recovered from his injuries and removed the talisman, our clan was once blessed with a powerful demon at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm. The clan was at its zenith, and even the Void Spirit Palace was destroyed by the Fire Crow. Hua Yuan Zhenren of the Longevity Temple was killed and fled overseas.

But now our clan has also come to a remote overseas place, and the Purple Mansion has left one after another, losing its former glory.

The palace gates were wide open, and dark spirits stirred within.

Yang Yuanxin took the lead and led Xu Xuan into the hall. There they saw a drop of crimson blood sealed with a murderous light on the table. The blood shone brightly and occasionally transformed into a red crow that flew around.

"This was left by my father."

Her heart skipped a beat. She knew that Dao Yan had completely disappeared after saying he was in seclusion, and had not even told her where he was in seclusion. Now, however, there was a drop of his blood here.

If the crimson blood were stimulated, flames would rise and transform into a man dressed in a crimson-gold royal robe, seemingly using some kind of celestial light as a means of manifestation.

“My beloved daughter Yuanxin.”

He spoke at this moment, his gaze fixed straight ahead, but not looking in Yang Yuanxin's direction, as if it were merely a pre-preserved scene.

"Father."

Yang Yuanxin's expression was solemn as he looked ahead.

At this moment, Dao Yan waved his large sleeves, a flash of crimson light, and said in a solemn voice:

"If you see this blood, there will be a change in the Western Sea. Your elder brother, who embodies 'Dry Yang,' is sealed beneath the Golden Crow. He should now be considered separated from my Fengyan lineage. The Golden Crow, the great being of the Mingyi position, intends to rebuild the Demon Dynasty, a feat that defies the world. If he fails and faces retribution, he will surely perish."

"Now that you are in charge of Fengyan, bring it into the Heavenly Pool. If you succeed in the west, there will be a time for blood relatives to recognize each other. If you fail, then do not get involved anymore and quietly guard the Dragon Court."

"The old master has mastered the Five Methods of Bing Fire and achieved inner unity, but he has already lost the opportunity to cultivate again. Although I don't know how Heng Guang sought it, back then, Master Xi Hua attained it by using the Four Bing and One Tai!"

“The words of the Golden Crow cannot be entirely trusted. I am now exploring the secret realm in the Great Void to seek the remnants of the divine elixir. Even if the old master cannot obtain the position, there will still be a way out.”

He explained these things one by one, paused slightly, and then said:
"Tianchi, Youdu, do not directly interfere in the affairs of the Demon Dynasty. Only by acting in accordance with the times can you succeed—"

The crimson glow gradually dimmed, and the sound of the flames vanished abruptly, leaving only wisps of crimson flames lingering in the hall.

Yang Yuanxin bowed respectfully, her crimson eyes gradually calming, her golden-red feathers shining brightly, and an aura of decisiveness emanating from her.

"From this day forward, Fengyan will be completely under the control of the Dragon Court and will be subordinate to it. Also, do not interfere directly in my brother's affairs."

She spoke softly, looking at Xu Xuan.

"Establishing a Celestial Dynasty is a taboo subject of the Immortal Path, not to mention that if a Demon Dynasty fails, it will inevitably be dealt with by the combined forces of the Immortals and the Shamans."

“Now your clan is divided into three paths, each with its own purpose. Since you are undertaking a great undertaking, you should have no regrets.”

Xu Xuan's tone was serious, indicating that he understood Yang Yuanxin's meaning.

Now that Fengyan has been completely brought under the jurisdiction of Tianchi as a subordinate, it can be seen as a way of subtly distancing themselves from the affairs of the west, as long as things appear acceptable on the surface. If that second son of the Golden Crow can truly rebuild the Heavenly Dynasty and ascend to the celestial throne, Yang Yuanyi, as his subordinate, will undoubtedly reap considerable benefits, leading to the prosperity of the Fire Crows. However, if he fails, he will face retribution.
The current leader of the immortal path should be the Lesser Yin Path, which is the lineage of the ancient Zhongyin Yin lineage. With immortals presiding over it, can this level of immortal path truly tolerate the affairs of the demon dynasty?
"I heard from Senior Daoyan that if you, sir, seek the Dao, your supernatural powers will—"

He hesitated slightly, after all, Heng Guang was closely related to him. He knew that there was a Dao beacon of Heng Yi Star in his inner vision, and who knew that the True Lord might return one day.

"Since one seeks respect, it is mostly the way of the Four Ones."

Yang Yuanxin continued, her voice filled with worry:

"The nature of Bing Fire is heavenly light, a great furnace, and blood fire. Therefore, in ancient times, it had three subordinate positions. [Heng Guang] was held by the early king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and at that time it was still a subordinate position."

"The Demon Lord Xi Hua replaced Bing Yang Yuan with Kun Yu Ming and obtained a Golden Virtue Treasure, which is why he transformed Heng Guang into the Venerable One."

"There are such changes."

Xu Xuan felt certain that if Yang Yuanxin's words were true, there was indeed a chance for him to change from a subordinate position to a position of honor, and it seemed that the Heavenly Dragon Lord had done something similar before.

The position that once represented the forest of broad trees has now probably become the most prestigious position between Kai and Hiro.

At this moment, he recalled what Tian Chi had said about the Yan Dynasty. When the True Lord Heng Guang attained enlightenment, it caused dissatisfaction in the court and led to many impeachments.

'Yes, the Great Yan Dynasty replaced the Xia Dynasty, with the Bing Fire element as its emperor. How could it easily allow this ray of sunlight to face the sun?'

These events allow one to deduce some of the ancient sage's plans, and even give him some clues about what will happen next.

'If that True Lord Hengguang is plotting for the position of the Sun? Is not occupying the position of honor beneficial or detrimental to the Bing Fire fruit position?'

Xu Xuan's mind stirred slightly. He remembered Wen Guang's explanation of the [Eternal Bright Profound Flame]. This spiritual fire, representing the position of Eternal Light, was connected to the position of the Sun's Radiant Light.

'Feng Xuan, cultivates the principles of Yin and Yang.'

He had many guesses in his mind. If the true lord of Hengguang was actually plotting to take the position of the sun, that would make sense. But if this lord were to take the position of the sun, would the [Hengguang] of Bing fire change back to the subordinate position?
Xu Xuan didn't say much at the moment, but looked at Yang Yuanxin and said only:
“I sent Mu Wude to represent the Dragon Court to guard the land of Sindhu. If he still remembers me as his king, he can go through him to find out the situation and see what has happened in Sindhu.”

He certainly didn't choose him randomly. Mu Wude was originally a pawn that the Dragon Court had given to Jinwu, so how could Xu Xuan not use him?

"I think things might not be good over there in the West Sea."

Yang Yuanxin looked over with a heavy tone.

"If it were the Yang family of Yanggu, perhaps they would still hold onto some old feelings. But that Jiaoyang Him personally initiated the Ten Suns' Celestial Patrol, devoured his own blood relatives, imprisoned them for a thousand years, and killed at least two Golden Core cultivators. The Path of Mingyi is a tyrannical ruler, and my elder brother is under his command."

"Now all we can do is wait."

Xu Xuan sighed, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"If that person wants to establish a dynasty and take charge of India, the amount of the Sun Golden Pill is naturally sufficient. However, if he wants to ascend to the immortal position, he will probably have to confront the great figures in the immortal path head-on."

He talked with Yang Yuanxin for a while and made preliminary plans for the future. At present, Feng Yan has returned to the Dragon Court and will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Western Sea. They will wait and see how the situation changes.

Yang Yuanxin will stay in Fengyan for a while to stabilize the clan and will not return to Tianchi for the time being.

Xu Xuan then stepped into the Great Void and entered the Heavenly Pool. He needed to carefully prepare for the next steps and cultivate his fourth divine power. There was no time to waste.

Upon entering the Heavenly Pool, he sensed a somewhat familiar aura. He saw a dark light rushing towards him from the edge of the pool and landing in front of him.

It was a burly man clad in heavy maroon armor, his body covered in red scales—none other than Mu Wude.

"Your Majesty! Something has happened in the Western Sea."

He seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, and upon seeing Xu Xuan return, he immediately stepped forward, knelt down, and paid his respects.

"Wu Yan, you've finally remembered me. Tell me, what's happened in the Western Sea?"

Xu Xuanlong's eyes shifted slightly, and a captivating pressure descended, the vast aura of his divine power almost suffocating the demon before him.

"This is the army of Jinwu. They invaded India, unified the southwest, and have now re-established the Great Xia. However, they only allow demons to enter the court and specialize in killing immortals. The land of Yunmojia has also fallen into their hands."

Mu Wude never mentioned how he was ordered to come, and Xu Xuan didn't ask any questions either; the two maintained a tacit understanding.

'They've established a dynasty so quickly?!'

Xu Xuan's heart stirred slightly. He looked at Wu Yan and continued to ask:

What's the situation over there now?

"Your Majesty, from Jinglian to Yunmo, the entire area has turned into a great abyss, containing tens of millions of demonic corpses and puppets, all under your control, including many noble beings of the Purple Mansion level."

Mu Wude dared not conceal the truth and respectfully said:

"Currently, the army is led by two demon kings at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm: one is Yang Yuanyi, the Fire Crow, and the other is Yang Chongzhou, the Golden Crow. There is also a Great Asura at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, who is said to be an ancient demon god who has been reborn and entered the Purple Gold realm. His title is [Hanhan].

"A Great Asura at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm is more than capable of sweeping away India."

Xu Xuan's thoughts stirred slightly, and he suddenly remembered another important figure, Fu Zhang, who had spoken with Jin Wu back then and would probably also join Jiao Yang's ranks.

"Sindhu's fall is a foregone conclusion. Unless Xumi intervenes, no one can stop it."
