Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 707 Qing Tong
The Great Crimson Heaven Realm.

The golden sun hangs high in the sky, surrounded by red clouds, shining brightly. This is the moment when [Hengyi] shines upon the grotto heaven, and another star, [Shuangfu], waits to rise.

A pure aura surged, and a mysterious wind blew.

A golden-white carriage pulled by nine dragons passed through the air, with a deity holding the reins. Behind the carriage was an extremely long silver lightning chain, which bound a man dressed in a witch's robe.

Looking at this celestial realm, Yelü Tan felt that his eyes could not reach its edge, and it seemed to be endless.

Above the clear air and white clouds, there are heavenly palaces and mystical halls, with immortal pavilions and Taoist towers scattered about, surging with mysterious energy and echoing with the rumbling sounds of Taoism.

'What kind of celestial realm is this? Its scale is so magnificent that it can be considered a realm in itself!'

Yelü Tan was no fool; he had visited the Tianxuanyuan of the Qingchong Demon Land, the Yixin Fajie of the Huayan, and the Canyitian of the Xuanmi Demon Land!

Even the Nian Kingdom where he resided was part of a grotto-heaven built by the Liao Emperor, and that Shangling Heaven was known as the most expansive in the north.

But all these grotto-heavens combined probably can't compare to this one celestial realm. Just the area that this carriage has taken him through is conservatively estimated to be the entire Liao Dynasty.

Ahead was a floating island, bathed in the golden-white light of Lesser Yang. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be layers upon layers of spiritual flowers, which looked remarkably like some kind of top-grade Lesser Yang spiritual object recorded in ancient books!

There are so many!

This sea of ​​flowers is actually the transformation of Tian Tuo's previous incarnation's Dao fruit. At its core is only one flower, the [Wonderful and Stern Spiritual Flower]. However, the strange phenomenon created by the combination with the pure Qi is incredibly real. As long as you are in this cave, no one can see the truth!
The carriage landed, and Lingji, bound by a silver lightning chain, was unable to move. His face slammed hard onto the white jade road, causing him to cry out in pain.

The golden and white flower fields on both sides swayed gently, emitting a mysterious light that shone on him.

Ling Ji slowly raised his head, but the silver lightning chains on his body suddenly tightened, scorching his skin black and causing him to scream in agony. He hurriedly lowered his head to stop the lightning punishment.

'A weapon of the Thunder God, imbued with the aura of the Thunder Palace—what kind of place is this?'

At this moment, he was completely terrified. As one of the top three ancestral spirits in Liao, a figure of the Yelü clan's ancestor level, he had even seen the Emperor's true face.

The [Myriad Evil Beasts Magic Image] hadn't frightened him, but the scene before him truly terrified him.

At the end of the white jade avenue was a celestial palace, its mysterious light flowing and yang energy surging, with several eye-catching characters written on the golden plaque.

【The Immortal Grant Division】

If Yelü Tan saw this name elsewhere, he would only think that it was a presumptuous act by a minor cultivator who did not know his place. How could the word "immortal" be used so easily? Especially the more taboo word "bestowing immortality"!
It should be known that in this world, there are only two immortals: one who resides high in the Celestial Realm, in the Lesser Yin position, and the other who governs the Blessed Land, cultivating in the Ji Earth.

"Wait a minute. That person just said this is the Celestial Realm, could it be the Shaoyin Realm?"

However, he immediately rejected this idea, knowing that the Shaoyin Realm would not house the sun and moon, much less a Hengyi, a Binghuo Venerable, would be placed here.

His mind raced through the names of various sects, pondering which one might be able to create such a heavenly realm.

But the divine being pulled on the silver lightning chain, instantly dragging him to the gate of the Immortal Ascension Office. Yelü Tan was charred black all over from the lightning, looking extremely disheveled.

"Apart from when I was chased by my uncle and jumped into the dry, rocky river, I, Yelü Tan, have never suffered such humiliation!"

He felt a surge of anger and resentment.

But the lightning chains binding him were released, and the jade-clad deity beside him grabbed him by the neck, lifted him up, threw him forward, and coldly said:

"Go in and be questioned by Lord Hou. If you lie, you won't be spared! Ha, it's just that you're lucky, little witch, that you didn't run into any officials from the Thunder Palace coming to supervise you."

'Thunder Palace!'

Yelü Tan's last bit of anger dissipated. He never imagined that this place could actually be related to the Thunder Palace. The methods of this sect are so ruthless that if one fell into their hands, being annihilated would be a mercy.

Yao Lu, the leader of the Guiyi Demonic Path, was like that. He was set on fire and burned until the fall of the Zhou Dynasty. If the Thunder Palace hadn't collapsed, he could have been burned indefinitely!
The reason he knew so much was because the Demon Lord's daughter's second reincarnation was in Fengdai, where she had connections with his Yelü family elders, and that's how he obtained the [Reunion Bloodline Plate].

"Go inside and await the celestial official's judgment!"

The jade-green deity seemed dissatisfied and kicked Yelü Tan in the back, instantly causing the sorcerer to spit out a mouthful of foul blood, which was then wiped away by golden light.

"You scoundrel, how dare you defile the immortal abode of the lord!"

The Jade God roared and kicked the sorcerer again.

This time, Yelü Tan dared not spit out blood. He swallowed it down and begged for mercy repeatedly, but the divine being grabbed him and threw him into the main hall.

boom!
Yelü Tan felt as if all the bones in his body had been shattered into powder. He could only lie on the white jade floor and barely lift his head to see the scene inside the hall.

This magnificent hall has nine rooms, with white jade covering the floor and adorned with bright gold, and the four walls are dark blue.

The hall was brightly lit, and on the green wooden throne sat a man dressed in a golden and white immortal robe, leaning against the throne with his hand supporting his chin.

This man was extremely handsome, like a celestial being. His eyes shone like the golden sun, making people dare not look him in the eye. His Shaoyang energy was slightly revealed, as deep and unfathomable as the sea, so Yelü Tan could not see through his strength at all.

Purple Palace or Envoy?

Yelü Tan was filled with apprehension, but he did not speculate that it was at the level of a True Lord. After all, he had met more than one great person and naturally knew the high status of these Golden Core cultivators.

Based solely on his intuition, he could tell that the person before him was definitely not a Golden Core cultivator, but also certainly not an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator.

'This feels somewhat familiar...'

Yelü Tan felt strange and extremely puzzled.

He cultivated the Lesser Yang, possessed an almost immortal appearance, and was also born with a pair of golden eyes. This was just like the Heavenly Demon he had heard of before, namely the Heavenly Monk Little Saint who came out to walk when Qi Li was standing!

But the other party should have died long ago. How could he still be alive, and even come to this celestial realm to become some kind of celestial official!
Yelü Tan dared not think too much. His gaze passed over the young man on the throne and fell on the murals at the back of the hall, where he was even more taken aback.

The grass and trees are lush and green, the sun rises in the east, and a blue deer stands in the center with golden and white stripes. Black flowers bloom on its back and wooden horns, golden butterflies surround it, and yang insects cling to it. It seems that wind, thunder, wood and fire are leaping under its four hooves.

Shaoyang Celestial Beast!

Yelü Tan no longer doubted the authenticity of this place; only the most advanced Golden Core cultivators could depict such a realistic Lesser Yang True Form. 'Could this be Donghua?'

His mind raced, but at that moment a surge of auspicious energy from above descended gracefully, making his body look brand new and instantly healing his injuries.

"【Shangjin Chongyi Muling Zhenjun】, how dare his lower-ranking shaman trespass into the Heavenly Realm and violate the majesty of my Dao? Tell me, how did you get here?"

The man on the throne spoke slowly, and as soon as he uttered his words, Yelü Tan was greatly alarmed.

The other party actually addressed him by the title of True Lord! And even in front of him, the ancestral spirit of the Liao Kingdom!

His Yelü Tan can already be regarded as part of the [Ten Thousand Evil Beasts Magic Image], and together with the other two Great Ancestral Spirits, they can all be regarded as extensions of the True Lord's Dharma Image in the human world. This is also the fundamental secret of the [Heavenly Wolf Spirit Golden Edict Method].

If this were outside, and someone dared to address him by his honorific title, countless evil spirits would instantly descend and devour the offender.

But now there is not a single unusual phenomenon, and the man even mentions the name of the True Lord without any respect, and there is a hint of questioning.

'What is this person relying on? Or is there some powerful figure here? No, there must be someone powerful. How could a grotto-heaven of this level, maintained so perfectly, not have a Golden Core cultivator?'

Yelü Tan's mind raced, and he knelt down to reply:
"Xiao Xiu is from the Yelu clan of the Diela tribe. His humble name is Yelu Tan, and his Taoist name is Lingji. When he was calculating his bloodline, he accidentally brought his true spirit to this place."

He had already realized his own condition. If he guessed correctly, it should only be his true spirit that had been sent to this cave heaven, and the other party had not transferred his physical body as well.

Even so, Yelü Tan's true spirit was connected to the Emperor, and it was truly terrifying that he was captured like this.

"Tell me the details, and I will make my own judgment."

The man on the throne spoke in a slightly cold tone, and the light of the Lesser Yang changed, suppressing Yelü Tan so much that he could not muster the slightest thought of resistance. He simply recounted his previous experiences one by one.

The atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat somber.

Tian Tuo frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

'The Land of Delightful Desires is really scheming; they're even testing bloodlines now.'

He never expected to capture the true spirit of this great shaman. This was the ancestral spirit directly connected to the Shepherd Emperor, no ordinary person. If not handled properly, there could be serious problems.

"No matter what, offending my Dao is a capital offense, unless your True Lord personally comes to plead with the higher-ups on your behalf."

He knew that Yelü Tan had been stationed at the sacred mountain for many years and was very knowledgeable. He was not a stupid person. Right now, he had to completely convince him and not let anyone see through his mistakes.

"The Emperor—True Lord is currently resisting the radiance of the Blazing Fire and cannot act rashly. Moreover, the Golden Core will not come to beg the Immortal Official for mercy because of a mere cultivator like myself."

Yelü Tan looked alarmed. His guess was indeed correct; this celestial realm actually had an owner, and the owner must be someone of immense power.

"The mortal realm is in turmoil, and war has broken out. I, in the celestial realm, have also heard of it. Back then, the two lords, 'Ling Sa' and 'Li Huo,' fought each other, causing quite a stir. Do you know what the outcome was?"

Tian Tuo spoke in a low, melancholic tone, questioning the other party.

"This"

Yelü Tan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Back then, when the two emperors were fighting against each other, they agreed to a battle. They fought in the Great Heavenly Palace, a ruin in the desolate ancient Heavenly Court. At that time, the Heavenly Lotus Supreme Light and Wish Venerable of the Rebirth Path secretly ambushed them, took the World Honored One's treasure, and secretly attacked the Li Taizu, causing Li Guang to be damaged."

"This enraged the True Lord of Blazing Fire, who, wielding the Blazing Fire Dao Certificate, stormed into Liaotian. Emperor Muling was no match for him and had to retreat temporarily."

This was a truly shameful affair of the Xiao family, known only to their most elite group, who dared not speak of it. But now that it was being spoken of, Yelü Tan felt a sense of satisfaction.

"This great being above the fire took [Guangyuan Venerable] out of the White Lotus Pure Land and burned him until only his head remained. In the end, [Panmi] True Lord stepped forward and persuaded him to leave."

The seated Tian Tuo appeared calm, but his heart was in turmoil, and he was far from composed.

That Emperor Taizu was so powerful that he crushed the Northern Liao Emperor and the Venerable One of Rebirth.

Both the path of rebirth and the path of enlightenment have the foundation of the World-Honored One, and there is more than one Venerable One. Moreover, if one holds the sacred implements left by the World-Honored One, one is definitely not much different from a proper Golden Core True Monarch.

In terms of age, this True Lord Li Huo is probably much younger than him.

He Tiantuo began his cultivation after his death, and only formally emerged into the world when Qi Li came into being. By the time of his death, he had been a thousand years old, and at that time, the world was in chaos, with various countries rising up.

That person, Li Taizu, had only just begun to show his talent and had little reputation. He would not have caught Tian Tuo's eye. Yet, the other party had not even been a True Monarch for a thousand years, and already possessed such divine power. It was truly astonishing.

Tian Tuo pondered silently, looking outside.

At this moment, a silver lightning bolt was already waiting outside the main hall. It was Xu Xuan's mind. He entered the cave the moment the spirit sacrifice broke in and informed Tian Tuo to handle the situation first.

"I do not concern myself with human warfare, but your trespassing into the celestial realm is a capital offense."

Tian Tuo looked down at the spirit sacrifice, his tone turning cold, as if harboring murderous intent.

"My lord, spare my life! I had no intention of offending the Heavenly Realm; it was the Delightful Desire Demon Realm that framed me!"

Yelü Tan was terrified. He had chosen to abandon the possibility of seeking gold and instead go to Nianguo, which showed that he was afraid of death and could even abandon the path. Now that he saw that the other party intended to kill him, he was naturally afraid.

"However, it's not impossible that I might spare your life. Do you know what kind of place this is, or whose abode this is?"

Tian Tuo spoke leisurely, already having thought of what kind of background to find for this place.

"Please enlighten me, celestial official."

Yelü Tan knelt down, pressing his face to the ground, showing utmost respect and daring not to offend in the slightest.

At this moment, Tian Tuo spoke, his voice solemn. The black deer behind him seemed to sense this and was about to leap down from the mural.

"The Xuanming Immortal Gate is where He sought the Dao. The Eastern Heavenly Realm owes its existence to His construction. The so-called 'Prime Minister of Peace' and 'Immortal of Fangzhu' are all His aliases. The dragons of the Eastern Sea submit to Him, and the Ten Kings of Hell address Him as 'Supreme.' He is the Lord of Lesser Yang, the Immortal of the Eastern Lord."

"People only call him 'Qing Tong Tian Jun,' have you heard of him?"
