Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 708 Involved in Danger
Granted to the Immortal Division.

"Heavenly Emperor."

Yelü Tan knelt down, filled with fear. Judging from the other party's descriptions, he must be an extraordinary person, and it was even highly likely that he was a Shaoyang Golden Core cultivator from the Mingxian Dao!
'Is he the first Lesser Yang Lord? Impossible. It's already been said that he's a lower-level immortal of the Eastern Duke, and the Lesser Yang Immortal Lord's other name is "Eastern King Duke." Then this green boy must be a very important figure in the Lesser Yang's subordinate position.'

His mind raced as he carefully recalled what the celestial official on the throne had just said.

'His contribution to the completion of Donghua means he was active until at least the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's highly likely he had dealings with that True Immortal of Donghua, the ancestor of the Wang clan.'

Yelü Tan, being well-versed in classical texts, quickly filled in the background information for the person the other party had mentioned.

This is an ancient immortal of terrifying seniority, probably the first-generation disciple of Shaoyang Immortal Lord. He was active from the Earthly Era to the Human Era, spanning the Yu, Yin, and Zhou dynasties. He is a great figure on par with [Xuanhao] and [Xuanye].

'No, this great figure, who has witnessed the decline of Donghua since ancient times, is likely hiding something. This celestial official is probably not in good health, and may even be avoiding the Lesser Yin Master!'

He suddenly felt that he had grasped something, and the reason why this celestial official had brought him here was—Xu Xuan, the Great Departure Tribulation Sword Immortal.

This person is unusual; this is an arrangement by the Donghua Daoist lineage! And the reason why Yelü Tan was refused entry must be because he violated a taboo, perhaps because of the trivial matter of probing bloodlines?

impossible!
There must be a deeper reason.

'You demons of pleasure, you have brought me ruin!'

Yelü Tan understood in an instant: how could he, a mere sorcerer with no hope of attaining enlightenment, possibly provoke such a supreme immortal?

It must have been Leyu Motu who secretly made a move and angered the higher-ups, and Yelü Tan was the unlucky guy who stepped into the trap in place of Motu!
'【妙牝】, wait for me to go back.'

His mind calmed down, he looked up and said respectfully:
"The Great Dao of Mingxian is known to all. Since Your Excellency has summoned me here, there must be a reason for it. Yelü Tan has long admired the Dao of Immortality, but he regrets his humble origins and has been forced to practice this barbarian heretical path."

The shaman knelt on the ground and respectfully performed the ritual of three kowtows and nine prostrations according to the Taoist rites.

"I beg you, sir, spare my life. I have a use for you. That Land of Delightful Desire is still restless; it needs someone to keep an eye on it."

Tian Tuo's gaze darkened slightly, realizing that the Liao people had largely believed him, and the desired effect had been achieved.

This wasn't a title he made up. The first Shaoyang Master was also known as the "Eastern King Duke," and he had many disciples. Among the famous ones were "Qing Tong," who cultivated the Shaoyang Sub-position; "Fu Xuan," who ascended to the Yuanmu realm; and "Tai Su," whose lineage was unclear, as well as other great figures.

Among them, the one called "Qing Tong" is the most mysterious. Some say that he is the reflection of the Shao Yang Master, and he looks like an infant, making him extremely mysterious.

The founding patriarch of Donghua is also said to be a reincarnation of an immortal lord. He often appears in the world in the form of a young man and is extraordinary. In the late Zhou Dynasty, he founded the Donghua Sect and ascended to immortality.

He had considered using names like "Quan Yang" and "Jian Sui," who were more famous in ancient times, but that would easily be seen through by this person. Therefore, he pretended to be a most mysterious Shao Yang True Immortal.

"You are an extension of the [Myriad Evil Beasts Magic Appearance], and now that you know my great secret, do you think you can go back so easily?"

The divine body of Yelü Tan below suddenly stiffened, his heart filled with trepidation.

'He actually knows the name of the True Lord's Dharma Image. He's definitely no ordinary person.'

He had no choice but to kowtow again:
"My lord, you have erased my memory."

"Except for memories. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Tian Tuo's tone turned cold, his golden eyes blazing as he stared down:
"The 'Ling Sa' path nurtures and transforms evil spirits, turning them into beasts, merging the myriad into one, and one into the myriad. If other supernatural powers erased memories, it wouldn't be a problem, but you are different!"

“You are the extension of that True Lord in the human world, a part of his existence. He will definitely notice your abnormality, and you know this best.”

'really.'

Yelü Tan knew he couldn't get past this hurdle; the other party was extremely shrewd, and even had a far greater understanding of the "Ling Sa" lineage than others.

"Then what do you mean, sir?"

"Open your mind and let me do as I please. Completely surrender your true spirit to my Dao, and I will have the means to erase your memories, preventing others from prying into them, so that I may have a use for you in the future." Tian Tuo's tone was deep and cold.

He wanted Xu Xuan to bestow an empty seal upon Yelü Tan, not to save his life, but simply to conceal the anomaly.

"it is good"

Yelü Tan no longer had any will to resist. At the center of his brow, it seemed as if a thousand evil spirits were struggling and writhing, and iron-gray light burst forth and swirled, seemingly faintly connected to an even more sinister and sacred Dharma image.

All evil gathers, all beasts lurk. That terrifying Dharma image is hidden in the Great Luo, representing all kinds of spirituality, evil spirits and monsters in the world. It is constantly changing, and no words can describe its shape.

"How ugly."

Tian Tuo was slightly moved. At this moment, he could see the [Myriad Evil Beast Magic Image], but the other party could not find any trace of this cave heaven.

The so-called rank is something that can be observed from above but is difficult to look up to from below. The rank of this immortal heaven has far exceeded the Golden Core level. It is not in the Great Void, not in the Great Luo, not in the present world. Even the Heavenly Emperor cannot say exactly where it is.

The pure energy suddenly descended, without condensing into a seal, but it merged seamlessly with Yelü Tan's life without any obstruction, and even the [Myriad Evil Beast Magic Image] was completely unaware of it.

Yelü Tan's movements suddenly froze, as if he had been frozen, losing all ability to think and observe, while behind him, thunder slowly descended.

Xu Xuan stepped forward, squatted down, and began to observe the Yelü altar.

"How to do?"

"Could it be that you've forgotten it?"

Tian Tuo raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Xuan.

"The Taiqing Stele can be manipulated to a preliminary extent, but this is the first time we've done it this way. However, the stele's mysteries are increasing daily, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Xu Xuan sighed. In the past, he would directly use his pure energy to cleanse the true spirits that were taken in, and then the immortal tablet would automatically allow these people to generate memories without any doubt.

But this is the first time I've ever actively tried to delete or alter my memories.

"You can give it a try, but it's best not to kill it directly."

Tian Tuo looked down at Yelü Tan, who was frozen in place, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"If we can control him instead and grant him the Void Seal, we should be able to secretly reconnect with him and thus remotely control the situation in Liao, and even get a glimpse of that Shepherd Spirit Emperor."

Xu Xuan's mind stirred slightly, but he still had some doubts.

"That emperor will probably notice something amiss."

"Even if they notice, so what? You've already dealt with the two demonic figures. There's already a Yuanjun watching you. Adding another Muling Emperor won't make a difference."

Tian Tuo continued leisurely:
"That emperor will only notice that this person is unusual, but he will not be able to find the reason. The worst outcome will be that he will kill Yelü Tan as a means left behind by some great man."

“But if the Northern Liao emperor had not killed this person, he could have brought the true spirit of Yelü Tan back again. Although there might only be one chance, it would be enough to glean some information.”

Xu Xuan was considering whether Tian Tuo's plan was feasible. Should he leave Yelu Tan in the cave and use the pure energy to wash away his memories and turn him into a celestial official, or should he use some means to let him leave?
If it is the former, Yelü Tan must be dead in the eyes of outsiders. His true spirit is gone and his life has been scattered. The addition of a celestial official of the Ling Sa lineage in the cave heaven is of limited use.

The latter method, of course, involves severing the other party's memories and then imparting the script, so that the plan can be made gradually later. However, it is highly likely that the Shepherd Emperor will notice something amiss, which is risky.

"We should proactively seek change. If we can influence Yelü Tan, we might have the means to intervene when the war against Liaodong comes to a close."

Xu Xuan made up his mind, looked at Tian Tuo, and nodded slightly.

"Perhaps it's worth the risk."
