Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 731 Punishment

Heavenly Punishment, the main hall.

Xu Xuan sat in meditation, the thunder dissipated, and within his inner vision, mystical images gradually condensed, with wisps of chaotic energy surging and shaping according to his will.

The [Hunxuan Yanxiu Zhenjue] is a wonderful method that uses the primordial chaos energy to create mystical phenomena, which can significantly reduce the time required to cultivate supernatural powers. And now, the spiritual energy of that [Jueqian Xing] has already been gathered.

The fourth supernatural power has been cultivated.

In the battle at Baihe, he further perfected his She Lei aura, and with the help of the Heavenly Talisman Black Law, the speed of his She Lei cultivation increased again.

With a thought, I sank into the inner world.

Xu Xuan rode the wind and instantly arrived in the Great Crimson Heaven. He traveled all the way to the Immortal Appointment Office and came to a green alchemy room next to it.

Upon entering, mystical flames rise, and the alchemy furnace vibrates.

That ginseng-sheep-shaped earthen furnace finally came in very handy. As a furnace with balanced yin and yang, which prefers dry fire and has the virtue of nurturing, it was an excellent alchemical furnace.

Tian Tuo had changed into a white-gold robe, and from who-knows-where he took a feather fan, he was blowing on the alchemy furnace while chanting incantations.

Xu Xuan took a closer look and frowned deeply.

【Yinque Qingshuang】, 【Guanghan Yuegui】, 【Tianbing Yanguang】, and even 【Shangyang Baojin】 were all sent into the alchemy furnace. It didn't look like alchemy, but rather like weapon crafting.

"You...can you really master this?"

Tian Tuo has been in this pill-making chamber for over a year, taking the Azure Flame and the resources produced by the cave. Today, he claims he is about to complete the pill.

"The [Tao Xuan Chong He Dan Fa] is formed by extracting Yin and Yang energies. Therefore, any spiritual object that is tainted by Yin and Yang nature can be made into Qi and combined with Xuan Qi, thus achieving success."

The old demon seemed confident and accelerated the activation of the [Great Wind Shaking Xun Fan] in his hand. Rolling Xun winds surged in, making the Azure Flame even stronger.

Muffled sounds came from the alchemy furnace, which suddenly exploded. The light of the sun and the moon shone through, causing Xu Xuandu's expression to change. He urged his pure energy to stabilize.

Tian Tuo was prepared. Wisps of dark blue energy descended and merged into the furnace, and six gleaming blue pills appeared, their texture like metal, resembling some kind of magical artifact.

"This is?"

His eyes showed some doubt as he slowly said:

"I'm refining the [Great Elixir of Yin Transformation into Yang], so why isn't it black and white, with a substance like clouds?"

All six precious pills fell into his hands, emitting a blue light, seemingly like some kind of matching spiritual artifact. The old demon picked one up, stared at it for a while, and then handed it to Xu Xuan.

"you first."

Xu Xuan frowned, feeling that this old demon was probably unreliable. He had wasted several of his most precious Yin-Yang spiritual treasures, and the thing he had refined was simply...
He refused immediately, but Tian Tuo, seeing this, steeled his resolve and swallowed one whole.

The pill, which resembled a blue iron pellet, entered the mouth, instantly causing the old demon's expression to turn somewhat ominous. Golden-white light of the Lesser Yang flowed and changed within his body, and muffled thunderous sounds resounded within his physical form.

Boom!

A sound like something exploding rang out, causing the old demon's physical body to shake, but it persevered. Then, wisps of azure light rose up, nourishing its body and increasing its power.

"If a cultivator at the highest level of fire takes this pill, its effects will be even better."

He was somewhat dazed by the series of explosions of Yin and Yang energy within his body. He opened one hand, revealing five pills remaining, and offered one to Xu Xuan.

Although Tian Tuo was highly skilled in magic, his alchemy was a complete mess. The five pills were pitted and uneven in size, and looked terrible.

Xu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then took one, closed his eyes, and swallowed it.

This thing was like a block of iron and lead, falling straight into the inner realm. Then it seemed to be ignited, constantly exploding and vibrating. Even the Purple Mansion was somewhat unable to withstand it.

After a final, earth-shattering roar, Xu Xuan slowly stood up. The surging Yin and Yang energies nourished his life force, continuously increasing his Dao power.

Even the mystical phenomena within the inner landscape are rapidly taking shape, faintly revealing the changes of day and night and the implementation of laws. 【Si Tian Jie】is the authority of the Thunder Palace, acting as the agent of heavenly punishment; 【Tai Chu Xu】is the law and decree, the heavenly constitution and thunder order; 【Jiao Jue Ming】is the killing by the Big Dipper, eradicating life. These three supernatural powers can be summarized as heavenly tribulation, law and decree, while 【Jue Qian Xing】is even more mysterious, representing the implementation of laws.

The mystical manifestations of this supernatural power are [Long Steps], [Dharma Gate], and [Punishment and Protection]. Once mastered, it grants the ability to oversee the world and quell all chaos.

Judging by the time, he can probably complete the Xuanxiang cultivation within ten years, only lacking the condensation of divine power! This speed is already terrifying. Although there is a possibility of failure in condensing divine power, Xu Xuan has always succeeded on the first try. Judging by the time, he should be able to complete this [Jiuqian Punishment] within twenty or thirty years.

Once this supernatural power is mastered, it signifies that his "Social Thunder" has truly entered the realm of great achievement, operating harmoniously, just like the convergence of a single breath of thunder, which will bring about various qualitative changes.

'Time is too tight; we must reach the edge of the Five Laws before the final battle, otherwise…'

Xu Xuan had some suspicions in his heart. Tian Tuo had already vaguely told him a lot about what happened in the Chang Su Cave Heaven. Under the protection of the Immortal Stele, the two of them had also discussed it.

Since the lords of Mude have taken action, Li Huo will surely respond, and the war will likely become even more intense. After all, according to Tian Chi, the True Lord Li Huo intends to use the merit of unifying the world to promote Li Huo, burn Guangmu, and thus break through.

He shook his head, deciding not to think about those things for the time being.

Tian Tuo, standing to the side, looked at the remaining four spirit pills in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"This pill is quite effective, but the person taking it cannot be too weak in cultivation, otherwise they will be seriously injured first. It is called the [Mysterious Injury Pill]. Taking one is enough."

Xu Xuan nodded slightly. This pill had too many side effects, and since he cultivated the Thunder God technique, it was difficult to neutralize them. Its effects were not as significant as those of the Heavenly Monk.

'If the dragon's body cultivates its final supernatural power, then it might be able to be subdued.'

He pondered silently. Now, once [Ye Zhaoye] is perfected, he can use his dragon body to cultivate [Self-Cultivation and Reflection], while his second primordial spirit in the Inner Realm Thunder Swamp can condense [Dao Hun Xuan].

In this way, he can change his supernatural powers at any time if he wants.

What was the purpose of She Lei's final supernatural power?

After much deliberation, Xu Xuan realized that the most certain path forward was the Kunlun Qilin. If they could conquer the Desolate Capital, they would open the way to Kunlun and could explore it.

"Since Xu Ming has bestowed upon you the seal script, could it be that the Lesser Yang Receptor Technique has been used?"

He looked at Tian Tuo beside him and asked about this matter. After all, it was a rare immortal technique used by the Shaoyang sect to cultivate cultivators. If it could be used, it would be of great benefit to his own son's cultivation.

Tian Tuo composed himself, shook his head, and led Xu Xuan away from the alchemy room, taking with him the [Azure Profound Fire].

The two arrived at the main hall of the Immortal Ascension Office, only to find a water mirror placed inside.

This water mirror seemed to be formed from pure Lesser Yang light. It was placed flat on the ground, with golden light radiating outwards. Tian Tuo casually pointed and threw the round of Azure Flame into the water mirror.

The mysterious fire suddenly transformed into the rising sun, about to emerge from the sea, and beside it, two spiritual flowers bloomed, resembling auspicious stars, namely [Chengyi Xianhua] and [Miaoyan Linghua].

A ray of sunlight rose suddenly and fell, entering the body of the young man in blue robes who was practicing swordsmanship in the mountains. Some indescribable and mysterious changes immediately arose.

"It's all thanks to this [Azure Flame], otherwise I would be sitting here playing the role of the rising sun."

Tian Tuo took it very seriously, even going so far as to use his past life's spiritual attainment as the basis for his spell.

"What is the effect?"

Xu Xuan looked at the sunrise over the sea with some questions in his eyes.

Tian Tuo, however, showed some displeasure at this question, and simply said:

"You are ignorant, how could you understand my Dongming Body Receptor Immortal Technique? In ancient times, even Golden Core cultivators would beg their disciples to enter the Donghua Body Receptor to forge their Dao foundation. However, the Six-Transformation Profound Flower used back then, combined with the true light of the rising sun, is incomparable to what you see now. But the inscriptions within his body make up for this."

Tian Tuo spoke slowly, his tone tinged with resentment:

"Why? [The Sun and Moon of the Sect], this kid has a deep connection with Shaoyang. He has mastered the Receptor Technique in six years. After that, not to mention anything else, at least in the Great Li, there are few peers who can compare with him."

Xu Xuan, however, had a slight smile on his face and simply said:
"When the Eastern Heaven opens in the future, we will be able to take the initiative. I'm afraid there won't be another Shaoyang cultivator like us in the world."
