Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 711 Dao Struggle
Huaizhou.

The Jianghuai region borders the ancient Changlang Plain to the north of Lizhou and faces the first Buddhist temple in Dali—the Hanging Temple. However, since the immortals and Buddhists are different, the two have no interaction.

To the west, it extends to the Guanzhong Plain in Yongzhou, separated by numerous mountain ranges, such as the Dabie Mountains, Bailing Mountains, and Xiaoshan Mountains, as well as the endless Qinling Mountains.

The former Bai Yi Zhenjun, wielding his sword, traveled westward from Fulongtai in Zhangjun, Huaizhou, breaking through mountains and passes, leading his army into Yong, and finally storming into the capital of Dafeng, Changning, causing the great river to be stained with blood and the fields to be filled with white bones, in order to obtain the Geng position.

If you go south, you will reach the land of Wu and Yue, which is divided into the Wu family and the Taiping family. Then you will reach Jian, which is the location of the Fuchen Immortal Sect’s [Daiye Blessed Land], where the sun and moon do not shine, only the starlight shines.

Mount Muwu is extremely far from Shangxiao, located in southern Chu. It rarely enters the world and occupies a small area. However, it stands alone by the Yunmeng Marsh beside the Yanjiang River, preventing outsiders from touching it.

Tingjun, [Xuanjun's Blessed Land].

The wind was clear and the air was fresh. The mountains were lush and green. Twenty-four sacred mountains stretched endlessly. Faint blue lightning could be seen in the sky for thousands of miles around, rushing through the clouds and harmonizing the wind and rain.

The four prefectures of Huaizhou all follow the thunder of the heavens, and the most central prefecture, Tingjun, is the location of the Shangxiao Mountain Gate, a blessed land called [Xuanjun].

At the center, one can see a towering, verdant sacred mountain, with a blue moon hanging high above it, sometimes transforming into a large talisman. From time to time, one can see cultivators dressed in sky-blue and dark green robes riding the wind between the peaks.

The magnificent Xuan Palace, built of green wood, sits atop the peak, surrounded by white clouds. On either side of the jade gate are inscriptions, exuding a vast and mysterious aura: "Shangxiao Xuandu" and "Yiyang Miaodao". At the very top, a plaque made of black wood bears the three characters "Tiandu Palace".

Among the Great Li Immortal Sects, apart from the Fu Chen, Mu Wu, and Tai Zhen families, the most powerful is Shang Xiao, which far surpasses Tai Ping and Qing Hua.

This sect was established in Fengdai by Qingxiao Zhenjun under the Qingyuan Yiyang Dao lineage. It carries a lot of the foundation of the Qingyuan Dao lineage and can even be traced back to Donghua.

Tiandu Palace, side hall.

Pale silver clouds drifted and gathered at the top of the palace, while a thin layer of frost covered the long white jade table below. Behind the table, a man leaned against a green wooden chair.

This person had very faint features, yet possessed an ethereal, otherworldly aura. He wore a dark blue robe embroidered with wind and thunder, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist. Beside him, strange phenomena such as the mixing of lead and mercury and the collection of mysterious seeds manifested.

He was staring intently at a small purple-gold censer on the table, a vermilion flame flickering beneath it, causing the precious water inside to boil and billow white steam.

"Master-uncle!"

The palace door was pushed open, and a young man strode in. He had a golden-white yin mark between his eyebrows, which was extremely mysterious. His aura of wood virtue shone brightly like the sun and was as warm as spring.

It was indeed Tian Tuo.

The old demon's expression was quite enthusiastic, but in his heart he was disgusted. He thought that as a dignified celestial demon and a true cultivator of Donghua, even the Bi Mo True Person should call him senior.

How did we end up having to call others "elders" every day?

"Hey, be gentle, you might disturb my medicine furnace."

The man on the wooden chair sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Sitting in this side hall is none other than True Person Bigu, who is also the current Lord of Qingting Mountain and is in charge of the entire Xuanjun Blessed Land. True Person Bimo, as the sect leader, is often in seclusion and rarely appears in public.

When Tian Tuo returned this time, he first went back to Bi Yun Tian, ​​and as expected, he did not see the sect leader.

However, the True Person Bi Mo had left him a section of the [Taiyuan Green Branch] long ago, and gave him other instructions, only telling him not to stay in the Western Sea, and even more so not to get involved in the war.

'That Bi Mo... is probably not far from seeking gold.'

Tian Tuo smiled slightly, looked at the Jade Bone Immortal in front of him, and said:

"Since the Daoist Duobao sent someone to invite me to that cave, saying that he would give me the body of the [Xiaojing], I'm afraid there's something else he needs from me."

"What does Grandmaster Uncle think?"

As expected, Lou Jintongzi came to Jianghuai earlier, delivered a secret letter, and left. He said he wanted to invite Qingyuan Zhenren to the cave, not only to discuss the matter of the [Xiaojing Zuanti], but also other important matters.

Tian Tuo originally wanted to ask his master, Zhou You, but Zhou You had already entered the Western Sea and was quite far away. Now he could only consult with this Jade Bone Immortal.

After all, this Bigu was also a great cultivator of the Four Divine Powers. Although he cultivated "Xin Metal", his cultivation was quite high. He was also quite accomplished in alchemy and talisman making.

The flames beneath the Purple Gold Furnace ceased, and the Vermilion Bird Yang Fire was carefully stored away by Bigu.

A hint of deliberation appeared on his otherwise ethereal face, and he changed the subject, saying:

"You mean there's also a 'Yuanmu' cultivator in that grotto-heaven who wants to see you?"

"good."

Tian Tuo's gaze sharpened slightly, and he already had a guess in his heart.

"I'm afraid they'll need to ask you for the cultivation method."

Bi Gu spoke leisurely, and immediately guessed what was going on, continuing:

"【Duobao Palace】was established by the 【Changji】True Lord of the Hidden Gold Path. The ancient and famous 【Jin Fan Sect】 was a branch of this path."

"Jin Fan. This is the immortal path that cast the golden statue for the Great Xia Dynasty. In other words, the Duobao lineage is at least from the Xia Dynasty onwards. Its longevity is probably only comparable to the Fu Chen family in this world."

Although Tian Tuo had heard rumors about this path before, he did not know much about its origins. He was somewhat surprised to learn about it today.

The title of this True Lord Changji is extremely mysterious; he had never heard of it in his previous life, and only direct descendants of immortal sects would know it. "Although this path does not appear in the world, its profound foundation is unparalleled in the world. It encompasses more than one lineage and has no sectarian bias."

Bigu shifted her gaze slightly and said:
"The techniques in the 【Qingyuan Yiyang Book】 cannot be easily passed on, as it is the most advanced inheritance of Yuanmu. However, if it is a technique of a lower level, there is room for negotiation."

"You should consider this carefully yourself, and it would be best to see if it might cause a conflict."

He had a hidden meaning. In Bigu's view, he was an indisputable seed of the Golden Core stage. Whether it was his talent, temperament, cultivation speed, or even destiny and Dao nature, he was extremely rare in the history of Shangxiao.

It could even be said that even the current sect leader was not as good as Ruan Yuan at the same age.

Whether one can obtain wealth depends not only on oneself, but also on the situation and those on the same path. If someone else gets there first, then no matter how talented one is, one can only seek another position.

Tian Tuo understood perfectly, and simply said:
“With Yuanmu protected, Guo, Cong, and Zun all in their positions, there should be few disputes. This time, it is probably because the Duobao lineage wanted to inform them in advance to avoid any disputes.”

“Indeed, this way of doing things leaves room for maneuver and treats people kindly. It is best for me, Shangxiao, not to antagonize them. If you go in, you should think it over carefully.”

Bigu gave a few instructions, which the junior acknowledged, and then took his leave, disappearing into the void.

In the vast emptiness, the wind howled.

Tian Tuo now holds a gold ingot radiating autumnal light, which faintly points towards the East Sea. The location of the Duobao Dao lineage is the outer sea of ​​the East Sea, called the "Autumn Sea," which is very close to the newly completed "Pan Sea."

If you want to enter the Autumn Sea, the fastest way is naturally to go directly across the East Sea, but that's no different from suicide. If you accidentally enter the Dragon's territory, you'll die no matter who you are.

Back then, the True Man Wanxu of the Taizhen Immortal Sect had just attained supernatural powers, crossed the Vermilion Cliff, and entered the First Sea, which led to him being relentlessly pursued by the Dragon King of the First Sea.

Although Tian Tuo disliked these long snakes, he couldn't afford to provoke them right now. The safest way was to go around the South China Sea, pass through the Pan Sea, and then go to the Autumn Sea.

"Perfect timing. Let's visit Qinghong and Dongcang to get acquainted with them and maybe we can get something from them."

Once the old demon's mind was made up, he immediately headed towards the South China Sea.
-
Tianchi (Heavenly Lake).

The world was shrouded in darkness, daylight was like night, and not a single ray of light could be seen for tens of thousands of miles around. The entire Heavenly Lake was shrouded in endless night.

The sun, moon, and stars have all faded into darkness, leaving only the deepest, most profound night, a vast and desolate expanse pervading the air. Waves surge, rocks tremble, and the faint roar of a dragon echoes from the sea.

A swift, intense purple light shot up from the sky, stretching continuously, traversing north and south. The surging, erupting purple lightning quickly painted the entire night sky, illuminating everything, only to suddenly darken again, repeating this cycle nine times.

Finally, there was a continuous, thunderous roar, one after another, with waves crashing, rocks collapsing, and thousands of purple lightning bolts like dragons streaking across the sky, bursting forth in an instant and vanishing in an instant.

【Ye Zhaoye】is complete, a single breath is perfectly formed!
All the strange phenomena dissipated, leaving only a dragon-headed man descending from the sky, his royal robes fluttering, his dark purple dragon scales crackling with lightning, and his aura reaching its peak.

After years of seclusion, he finally achieved mastery.

Xu Xuan silently sensed the changes in the supernatural powers within his body. [Ye Zhaoye] constantly echoed [Zhen Tian Qu], the two supernatural powers embracing and responding to each other, one in front and one behind, their power continuously increasing.

As the lightning was completed, the power of the thunderous sound also increased. Now, he could easily turn everything in the entire Heavenly Pool into dust with a single thunderous sound, its power comparable to the [Primordial Collapse] that Hua Gu had used back then.

【Ye Zhaoye】is the most powerful divine ability in direct combat with Zhen Lei. It has the power to illuminate the night and dispel darkness, break restrictions and cover light, as well as the power to cut off the yin of the sky and use the power of Zhen at the extreme.

This supernatural power is effective against Yin Sha, Obscure Light, and other similar phenomena. It can also suppress other paths with a flash of lightning. In a battle of magical light, it often gains a significant advantage. Even Yin light will retreat when it encounters it, and only pure Yang light can prevail.

As for its use in killing, it can gather thunder into one extreme, combine the power of ten thousand layers into a mustard seed, and then unleash it suddenly, just like the wonder of his [Lieque] spirit sword. However, now every strike he makes can be accompanied by this effect.

The [Use of Zhen at the Extreme] technique can be used not only on lightning, but also on thunderous sounds, greatly increasing his killing power.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your supernatural powers have advanced once again, and you are now among the foremost demons of this era."

An old cultivator in a dark black robe rode forward on his yellow mud, his aged face showing a hint of shock.

Hou Ni clearly felt that once this [Night Illumination] was completed, its power and influence would be extremely terrifying for cultivators of the Thunderclap Realm, far exceeding that of a single divine ability.

"It's still a bit short. We can talk about this when the five methods are perfected."

Xu Xuanlong lowered his head, his dark eyes darting around, and said only:

"Did anything significant happen while I was in seclusion?"

Hou Ni's expression turned solemn, and he said respectfully:

"Mu Shenglongzi has made progress in Qi cultivation, and Mu Yulongnu will be close to completion as well."

Xu Xuan nodded slightly. Once Mu Yu had mastered Qi, he would go to Dongcang to bring back Mu Sheng and teach him the seal together. Now that the Weak Water Formation was protecting them in the sea, it would be perfect to keep them hidden.

"There is another matter. The Shan Jian Fa Dao in India has suffered a complete defeat, and all twelve lands have fallen into the hands of the Great Xia. These demons all call him the [Mingyi Emperor]. He has redrawn the boundaries of the land and enfeoffed many kings, including the [Bingyang King], who is none other than Yang Yuanyi of the Fire Crow."

"What about those fast-moving, venomous dragons and snakes?"

Xu Xuan's expression hardened slightly as he inquired about the matter, but he was unaware of the Heavenly Rain Dragon Lord's intentions.

"Among all the kings, there is one called King Yuhe, who is a direct descendant of the dragons and comes from Sumeru."
