Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 727 Rain

maritime.

Golden lightning flashed across the distant sky, and rolling purple lightning once again dominated the sea area. Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, sheathed his sword, and returned it to his scales. At this moment, the entire area of ​​ten thousand miles was covered by endless purple lightning.

The great swamp churned, dragons and snakes lay dormant, and his supernatural powers gradually calmed down. Although they had fought many times, his injuries and the speed at which his magical power recovered far exceeded that of his opponent, and Xi Hai was ultimately defeated.

'Divine Thunder Speed. This Xi Hai is not yet perfect.'

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment. It seemed that the other party had mixed in a demonic divine power. It was not the purest Divine Thunder Five Methods, but its speed had reached an extremely terrifying level, ranking first among the Purple Mansions he had ever seen.

Of course, I wonder how Tian Shu, who cultivates the orthodox divine thunder, will far surpass this Xi Hai once he reaches perfection.

At this moment, a shimmering blue light appeared in the distance, emanating wood energy. It was the Azure Dragon King of the Cave giving a signal. Xu Xuan's heart stirred, and he stepped into the Void, then headed towards the Sea of ​​Rebirth.

After a long time, the scenery at the edge of the Panhai could be faintly seen. There were still many traces of supernatural powers remaining in the void. Flowers and plants were scattered, and yellow mud dripped down. Dark black light slowly emerged from it, revealing an old man in black robes.

"Your Majesty."

Hou Ni walked out, holding a very conspicuous beast horn in his right hand. It was like jade, radiating a bluish-green light. It was the horn that he had plucked from the body of [Canbi], one of Xi Hai's men.

This remnant of the jade was originally a one-horned wood dragon, cultivating the Yi Wood element, and was in the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm. It had quite a reputation, but now its most precious jade horn had been plucked off, its blood dripping and scattered across the void, turning into flowers and plants.

“That remnant of the jade is useless. I took the spiritual artifact and used the Subduing Earth technique, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of his Yi Wood.”

Hou Ni spoke calmly and composedly. He possessed two spiritual artifacts bestowed upon him by the Dragon Court: the mid-grade Purple Mansion [Yellow Spring Rain Cauldron] and the low-grade Purple Mansion [Qianhuo Obedience Talisman].

The first one is an earth-taming artifact, specifically designed to subdue the wood element, while the second one can command the ferocious beasts in the mountains. This wood dragon, however, is a creature that dwells in the mountains, making it perfectly suited for control.

"This time we have truly become enemies with Na Xihai, but this lineage has always been hostile to Mingze."

Xu Xuan did not take the matter to heart. The conflict between Donghan and Nanming was irreconcilable. Since Yuanhan Dragon Lord wanted to become the only being with a dragon form, he could not sit idly by and watch Renlong obtain proof.

The storm hasn't really started yet, perhaps because the chaos hasn't subsided. But once the Yanghu Dragon King is born, it's highly likely that the Dragon Lord will have to take action himself.

He looked towards the distant Panhai Lake and the towering Jianmu tree.

'Will this Heavenly Dragon Lord intervene then? And whose side will he be on?'

They traveled onward, heading straight for Panhai, and finally came to the border of Mengzhou. The purple light flew away and entered the palace, where they arrived at Daoxian Palace.

"Go and check on Mu Province. This is a good opportunity to bring him back to the South China Sea for a while."

Xu Xuan gave the order to Hou Ni, who was beside him, to make preparations, while he himself stepped into the side hall and saw the Azure Dragon King of the Cave sitting in the main seat.

The other party seemed to be activating supernatural powers, observing something with extreme seriousness. The Jia wood energy was vast and boundless, filling the area.

"how?"

Xu Xuan spoke first, seemingly casually, but he was asking about the situation on Tian Tuo's side. Right now, he couldn't go into seclusion or anything like that, and since he couldn't communicate with the human body, he couldn't contact Tian Tuo either.

The distance is too great, and even the seal script has been lost. For now, we can only ask the Azure Dragon King of the Cave for news of him.

"Already acquired by Duobao."

Dongqing stood up to express his gratitude and continued:
"This time, we are indebted to the Dragon King. Not only did that Qingyuan Zhenren escape danger, but he also had another opportunity and has the chance to attain enlightenment."

Xu Xuan's pupils narrowed slightly, but he only said:
"I have little connection with the matter of Yuanmu, but I would like to ask you, senior, what is your view on Renshui?"

“It will not be easy for Mingze to prove Ren water again.”

Dong Qing shook his head, his voice low and somber.

"Ren seizes Kan in winter, Kan takes the clear and turbid, Gui rests on the Yu sound. These three water virtues are intertwined and cannot be untied by one person even with great ability. I think we need to exert our efforts at the same time."

"Why?"

"Let's verify this together, and each of us will recover our losses."

A divine light gradually appeared in Dongqing's eyes, and even the aura of the Jia wood in the hall became increasingly dense, with overlapping green leaves isolating it from the outside world.

"Kan Water is supported by Mu Wu with all his might, while Gui Water is under the control of the First Dao lineage. The former may be willing to cooperate with Ming Ze, but the latter will definitely not want Ren Kan to be restored to its original position."

"Why?" Xu Xuan asked, puzzled.

"The true ruler of this path is still in power."

This news shocked Xu Xuan. He knew that Shi Yi's Golden Core was extremely mysterious, and his title and deeds were rarely known. Even the time when he attained enlightenment and disappeared was unknown.

Please explain in detail.

Xu Xuan's mind became more serious, and he was even more interested in investigating the origins of the Beginning Path, since this sect was also related to She Lei and came from the Northern She Dao lineage.

"This involves the ancient story of the Water Virtue. The ancient master of Kan Water was called [Hidden Crossing], and his position was that of an immortal. He presided over [the Black Winter Yuan Dao]. In ancient times, Xi Yuan transformed into the Five Yuan Dao, which should be in Kan, Dui, Gen, and Li Yuan, among which Gen Earth is the one. [The Earth Yuan Dao of the Position] also has another name, called [Suppressing Yuan], which is the most powerful, followed by the Kan Water lineage."

"This Master Yindu established his Dao at Kanyuan Mountain, but perished very young, killed by the sun. After his death, his body transformed into a white ape, regained his position, and presided over this Dao, known as Tianhuai."

Dongqing first explained the origins of the Kanshui lineage, and even mentioned the lineage of the ancient Xiyuan. The present-day Zhenyuan Temple was originally part of the Xiyuan lineage.

"As for Gui Shui, it is controlled by an extremely ancient wandering immortal, known as Zuo Song. He once guided the ancient human emperor and saint king. The lineage he established is called Qingyu Township, located between Jing and Yu, on the south bank of the Xiang River."

Xu Xuan had long heard of this immortal's name, but he did not expect it to be so ancient, even predating the Human Emperor.

"This great man departed early. After all, the longer one holds a position, the more Heaven dislikes one, until there is no way to advance further. Reaching the highest position would be a constraint for Him. Therefore, this immortal departed when Emperor Xuan unified the land, relinquishing his position."

Dong Qing spoke with a touch of emotion, and continued:
"In Qingyu Village dwell His many disciples, all practicing ancient immortal arts, controlling clouds and rain, sweeping away dust, and renowned for their benevolence. Continuing to preside over this path are two great figures: His first disciple, Xiyin, holding the Gui Fruit position, and His junior sister, Xiyu, holding the Gui Water position."

"The position of Gui Water, is it the position of Kan?"

"good."

Dong Qing's tone changed slightly, as if he also had a deep memory of this Xi Yu Zhenjun.

"The Kan water flows into a trap, yet it does not lose its faith. Therefore, it possesses supernatural powers such as [lacking in heavy trap] and [sincere heart]. It is most capable of moistening downwards. The authority of this True Lord of Drizzling Rain is that rain falls from the sky, moistening all things. It is also falling, and it is also moistening. Therefore, it is revered."

Xu Xuan frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"If that's the case, how did this person bring the purity and turbidity of Gui water into Kan water? Even if He changed the position of metal and moved to Kan, He should only have gone to sit in the position of Kan water flowing downwards."

"That's how it should have been."

Dongqing's voice carried a hint of solemnity and deep emotion.

"However, the True Lord Xiyin died at Kanyuan Mountain of the Kanshui lineage. It was Tianhuai who killed him."

"This white ape is an extremely powerful demon, a celestial being who has turned evil. It is one of the top Golden Core cultivators in the world. The only remaining one, True Monarch Xiyu, wanted revenge, so he devised a wicked plan."

"What method is it?"

"He performed the work of shifting the path, and honored the Kan direction. But what he brought with him was not only his own life, but also the Gui water position certificate. At the cost of his own life, he sent this thing into the Kan fruit position."

"Such methods exist?"

"He brought in not the proof of honor, nor the proof of fruition, but the proof of subordinate position, representing the proof of subordinate position of purity and turbidity, and sent this subordinate position into the Kan water! So the white ape was immediately affected by the turbidity and ascended, but the nature of Kan was difficult to maintain, and it could not be moistened down, so it died, and the True Lord Xiyu naturally also perished along with it!"

Dongqing's words were filled with deep emotion; he simply said:
"In this way, only the [Winter Turtle] sitting in the subordinate position was left in Kan Shui. It was targeted and swallowed by Tianhui Dragon Lord. Otherwise, with the existence of the Kan Shui Golden Core, there would still be some possibility of separating Kan and Gui."

"Really."

Xu Xuan felt that this matter was truly a mess. If the Heavenly Darkness Dragon Lord hadn't swallowed the Winter Turtle, things might have been simpler.

But there was one more thing that Dongqing didn't mention.

"May I ask, how did that True Lord of the Beginning Path ascend to the Gui River?"

"Naturally, it borrowed from Yu Yin. You should know that Ren represents lakes and marshes, but Gui can also represent ponds. Both have the function of gathering and gathering. The original Dao was evolved from the [Jie Guan] of the Northern Society Daoist lineage."

"The master of their lineage, Cheng Zaifeng, was the abbot of the Jiejie Temple at that time, with the Taoist name [Xu Ling]. After attaining enlightenment, he was incorporated into the Taoist lineage passed down from the former [Qingyu Township]—[Kongyu Palace]."

Dong Qing's tone grew increasingly solemn as he continued:

"There are rumors that this Xu Ling Zhenjun is the reincarnation of that Xi Yu Zhenjun, and that he looks exactly like this ancient Gui Shui Zhenjun."
