Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 700 Luo Cang Dao Zang
Heavenly Punishment.

Dark clouds gathered, and thunder roared like the sea. At the very center, the Thunder Pool shone with divine light, its silver and black colors intertwined, as if a new phenomenon was emerging, with lightning constantly falling.

The drizzling rain pattered on the top of Xuanlei Peak, spreading from the small thunder swamp at the very top, flowing down to the eaves of the Great Crimson Palace, and dripping to the ground.

The void shattered, and silver light scattered.

Xu Xuan landed in front of the Great Crimson Hall, scanned the area with his spiritual sense, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He realized that Wen Si'an had returned earlier, but he didn't know why she had left again.

As he stepped into the hall, he saw a secret letter, shrouded in dark blue light, on the table.

Xu Xuan opened it and saw only a line of delicate handwriting on the top. It read that there was a change in the southern border, with witches and demons invading the territory. Jin Du needed to be guarded, so he could not wait in the mountains for long.

'Southern Xinjiang?'

A thought flashed through his mind. He knew that the southern border was full of demons and sorcerers, and there were many small kingdoms, most of which were not very powerful. The largest of them was the Dali Kingdom, which was a descendant of the ancient Dian Kingdom and was also known as the Nanzhao Kingdom in ancient times.

This country originally obeyed the orders of the Heavenly Poison Sect. Logically speaking, a country with such a close relationship as Dali should not have any turmoil.

He put the letter away and sighed slightly.

Shan Zhongxiao is also not here; he has gone to take care of Bai Cang overseas. Now that there is turmoil in Shendu, the Western Sea will also be in turmoil. Although Shangxiao is protecting them, a Zifu is needed to be stationed there year-round.

As for Xingfang, he was ordered by Lei Bu to go and clear out the battlefield, which was also to increase his own fortune.

There was new activity on Misty Peak. The dark energy covering it was gradually seeping into the sand and dust, and a faint aura of supernatural power was emerging from the peak. It was likely that Fa Yan would not be far from leaving seclusion.

"Fayan has left the pass again. The current state of the mountain sect is far from sufficient to support us. However, since I have been granted the title of Marquis, I can continue my expansion towards Tianshui."

Today, Tianshui County covers Baihe, including the Jiamu Spirit Land [Panlin] marked by a drop of Panzhang's blood, the vast [Qinghu], and the [Dayou Wilderness] beyond Wucheng.

Logically speaking, as the Marquis of Tianshe, he has the right to dispose of these spiritual sites! Moreover, the Tifeng Mountain in Tianshui has always been on good terms with its fellow disciples, so they shouldn't have any objections; they just need to share some of the profits.

Xu Xuan made up his mind and immediately felt that he had a solution.

'If there were a blessed land or a secret realm, there would be no need to go to such lengths.'

Thinking of this, he felt that the Louguan Sect's foundation was unfathomable. No wonder the previous generation was able to support three great cultivators at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, making them arguably the number one immortal cultivator below the Golden Core realm.

He then took out the Twin Peaks Mystic Mountain, and with his spiritual sense, he refined it slightly. Immediately, many mysteries about this artifact emerged.

【Suwei Mountain】

The spiritual treasure created by combining "Gen Earth" and "Yuan Wood" is a crucial artifact for protecting the Dao, preserving oneself, and assisting in the cultivation of the mysteries. It corresponds to the Gen Earth divine power "Su Qi Wei," which is the superior position of "Heng Yue He," and the Yuan Wood divine power "Bai Mu Miao."

"High mountains stand tall and imposing, deep and stable, with movement and stillness both restrained, and their coordinates perfectly defined; this is the 'Gen Earth' element."

Tian Tuo continued leisurely:
"As for wood, it is hard and knotty, belonging to the pine, cypress, bamboo, and catalpa trees, and is thus considered 'primary wood'."

This magical treasure is extremely mysterious. It is not limited to combat. It can manifest as a mountain to suppress an area, or it can be stored in one's inner world to greatly increase one's magical power.

Its mysteries are fivefold: [Receiving Heaven] - dispelling fog and riding the wind to generate magical power; [Simple Position] - expanding spiritual veins and building mystical abodes; [Gateway] - blocking and protecting the body, isolating the inside from the outside; [Shifting the Extreme] - absorbing array formations and moving with the terrain.

And the last one, which is also the most miraculous use, is called "Jun Jie," which enhances the magic and artifacts that activate the Earth and Wood elements, and even the cultivation of supernatural powers and spells!
If Xu Xuan were to activate the [Azure Dawn Nurturing Jar], he could only use one divine technique. However, if he were to combine it with the [Plain Mountain], he could unleash three techniques. The same principle applies to [Great Wind Shaking Xun Fan] and [Mount Tai Gazing at Spring]!
This magical treasure is far more important to the sect than any other magical artifact; it is something powerful enough to suppress the sect's foundation.

The power of a single elemental position, combined with the [Qingtian Xuanyu Grand Array], can continuously enhance the spiritual veins around the Crimson Cloud, and after several decades, this place will be transformed into a spiritual land of extremely high quality!
The so-called sacred land is actually composed of three elements: spiritual veins, spiritual energy, and spiritual vitality.

The size and direction of the spiritual veins determine the extent and shape of the entire spiritual land, while the attributes of the spiritual energy determine which lineage is suitable for cultivation in this place. When the spiritual veins and spiritual energy meet, they generate spiritual energy, which is what cultivators use in their daily lives.

"As expected of the Imperial family, they can easily produce such a precious treasure."

Xu Xuan found this [Suwei Mountain] increasingly pleasing to the eye. He first absorbed it into his inner world and felt that the world within it was vast, with mist rising and winds blowing, and the ability to contain and absorb spiritual energy had increased.

[Received from Heaven]

Even the twin peaks of this treasure mountain trembled, with white deer descending and green oxen standing tall, causing his somewhat damaged inner landscape to slowly repair itself and stabilize its foundation. This mountain was able to repair the inner landscape as well, which was clearly the credit for the construction of the Xuan Palace by the [Suwei]!
Xu Xuanzhen was somewhat reluctant to leave this sacred mountain within his sect. Even for the Zifu, which had no sect or faction, this mountain was still something that could save its life!

It should be known that damage to the inner realm is the most difficult to repair, often involving profound phenomena and supernatural powers. A single misstep can cost one's life. This is also the reason why the tribulations he has are so powerful, as they can pierce through the physical body and penetrate directly into the inner realm.

This [Suwei Mountain] was built with its interior scenery constructed as part of the landscape, so calling it a treasure is no exaggeration.

This one item alone is enough to make his life on the frontier worthwhile, and the remaining Xuanhuo and Leidan are even more precious and hard to find in the world.

With his mind calmed down, he flipped his hand and lifted up a magnificent palace filled with malevolent light and filth.

【Moyuan Divine Fiend Palace】 This spiritual artifact is of the highest grade. It was forged to be carried around, hence it possesses the profound mystery of "mustard seed Mount Sumeru". If fully activated, it could cover the entire crimson cloud, yet it can also be stored in the palm of your hand as it is now.

"This is something from the ancient [Moguang Chenyuan Daodao]. It should be a malevolent energy channel other than [Heisha], located in the north."

After recognizing his origins, Tian Tuo said leisurely:
"This artifact is mixed with abyssal evil and filled with filth. It cannot be activated by thunder. You cannot use it, otherwise it will result in mutual damage."

Xu Xuan had anticipated this. He figured that Fa Yan could control this thing in the future, and it would be perfect for landing in the Great You Desert in the north, saving him the trouble of building palaces and halls.

With a slight tremor, he caused many things to fall from this malevolent palace.

First came a long, black iron mace with a coiled dragon design, surrounded by billowing black flames. Its imposing presence and malevolent aura were palpable, clearly indicating it was a deadly weapon.

The handle bears an inscription that reads: "Made by King Zhao of Da Feng for use in anger."

"A vessel for the emperor?"

Xu Xuan sensed that this thing was extremely powerful, but it was very picky about one's physical body, soul, and lineage. If one was not a cultivator of supreme fire, one would probably suffer a lot if one wanted to control it.

"Supreme Fire" and "Divine Thunder" are both known for their terrifying killing power, but they can also easily injure the user. However, once one can wield them freely, their power is unmatched by any other lineage.

"If even Xiao Wen can't activate it, then we can only trade it or melt it down and recast it into a weapon."

Xu Xuan himself couldn't use it. She Lei wasn't good at controlling other Daoist techniques, let alone supreme fire. If thunder and fire clashed, it would probably explode in his hands first.

The one that is truly close to the ultimate fire is the spiritual thunder, followed by the shock thunder.

He temporarily put away the iron mace, deciding how to deal with it later.

The remaining magical artifact was a dark blue-green animal hide covered in witchcraft tattoos. Iron-gray clouds of energy flowed and spewed from it, transforming into various evil forms. However, as soon as it fell into Xu Xuan's hands, the animal hide completely lost its movement and emitted mournful cries.

"【Spirit-Gathering Cloth】, a witchcraft artifact of the 'Spirit Sage' path, its grade should be that of a spirit treasure."

Xu Xuan should not use this thing at all, and this witch artifact is probably an important magic weapon of the "Ling Sa" sect. Who knows, it may have been used by that [Shang Jin Chong Yi Mu Ling Di Jun].

He dared not use it; right now, he either had to put it into the [Mystic Transformation Pool] to become a spiritual object, or trade it away.

To be honest, if it could be kept, this thing would be quite useful, as it could gather spiritual energy, subdue evil spirits, and be used by the Purple Palace of the Earth.

Xu Xuan was used to being cautious and knew that witchcraft was unpredictable, so he would never leave such a hidden danger by his side.

The last remaining spiritual artifact was a black fire pill, clearly a substance of extreme fire, yet extremely stable. White saltpeter, yellow sulfur, and black charcoal were refined into one, presenting a murky, dark color.

【Black Toad Fire Elixir】

An ancient artifact of the Fire Dao, its grade is unknown, but its corresponding supernatural power should be [Lord of Nitrogen]?
Xu Xuan couldn't figure out how to use this thing yet, so he just put it away. Then he searched the palace for a long time but couldn't find any spiritual objects, only a few healing pills.

“That’s right. Since this King of Liao is going into battle, it’s enough for him to bring spiritual weapons and pills. He’ll probably leave the rest of the supplies and spiritual items to his descendants.”

He sighed, but he had still preserved most of Tie Sui's physical body, which could be used to extract the most potent fire element when it was sent into the [Mysterious Transformation Pool].

Xu Xuan continued his search and discovered a stone carving covered with black fire and swirling with evil spirits. There seemed to be scriptures manifested on it, but they were obstructed by the obstacles and could not be seen clearly.

"inherited!"

Xu Xuan's heart stirred, realizing that this thing was sealed, but he was not worried. He simply sent the stone carving into his inner world, swept it with his pure energy, and the restriction was lifted.

'The Taiqing Stele is still the most impressive.'

Both he and Tian Tuo looked at the inscription on the stone, and saw that the scripture had manifested, extremely complex, with scenes of black fire exploding, evil obstacles in the sky, the heavens falling, and the earth raging.

"The Three Halls of Fire, the methods of the Fallen Azure Daoist lineage!"

Tian Tuo's voice was slightly solemn. He had also studied the scriptures on fire, but only on the fringes. This was the first time he had ever seen such a complex Daoist canon.

"The Great Heavenly Asura's Wrathful Observation Method [All Asura], The Massive People's Suffering Complaint [Massual Fortune], The Toad Transformation Elixir Scripture [Assistant Nitrogen Lord], The Last Calamity's Remaining Obstacles Merit [Remaining Obstacles]."

Xu Xuan glanced at it and looked behind him, only to find that the complexity of this last divine power far exceeded that of the others, and it was probably the core of the Luo Cang Dao lineage.

"Having mastered the 'Azure Flame Dao Scroll' and completed the 'Flame Sky Collapse' technique, all five methods of 'Supreme Fire' are now complete!"
