Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 734 Victory
West Sea, Bai Cang.

The rocky hills stand alone, while the island is surrounded by clusters of rocks.

The azure lightning bolts, like birds flitting about, moved incessantly, their rumbles faintly audible. Above this sea, numerous cultivators clad in azure robes moved about, keeping the entire area within their control for tens of thousands of miles.

Bai Cang is considered a relatively important hub in the Western Sea. Heading west, one can enter the Phoenix Scale and Juku continents. Heading south, one can reach the Wumiao Sea and many immortal paths. As for heading north, there are many demons, all the way to Shendu.

A sliver of light appeared in the void atop the mountain, and swirling yellow sand revealed a lean young man in a black robe. After surveying the scene, he gained some understanding of Bai Cang's current situation.

"Junior brother!"

A loud laugh came from the palace on the mountaintop, and scorching golden flames shot out from it, descending in front of Xu Fayan. Who else could it be but his senior brother Xiaowen?
"I received the sect's secret message long ago, knowing that you had become a supernatural being. Only after seeing you today can I feel at ease."

Liu Xiaowen was still wearing his black robe with crimson clouds, his eyes gleaming. After seeing his junior brother's extraordinary abilities, he was somewhat alarmed.

It wasn't anything else, it was just that it was too much like a demon, even giving him the feeling that what was in front of him wasn't Xu Fayan, but a living grave sheep.

"After years of seclusion, you have finally attained supernatural powers. From this day forward, Bai Cang's affairs will be handed over to me. Senior brother, you may return to the mountain to take charge."

Xu Fayan spoke in a low voice, first entering the main hall on the mountaintop with his senior brother, where they took their seats and handed over various matters to reassure Bai Cang.

"Since you are to take charge of this place, there are a few things I need to tell you."

Liu Xiaowen frowned slightly and said:

"The Western Sea is near India, the Golden Crow has emerged, and the Great Xia has been re-established. It is a land of demons and monsters on earth, driving immortals and monks, and dividing the land into various prefectures. We should be careful."

The first thing he mentioned was India. Although this place used to be full of demons, it was nothing like the situation it is now. Before, there was the power of Sumeru to maintain order and prevent too much turmoil, but now...
"It's natural."

Xu Fayan nodded slightly, his yellow eyes gleaming, as if he were pondering the existence of this demon dynasty.

"Shangxiao has always been on good terms with our temple. Bai Cang's safety is now thanks to the protection of the Qizhe Celestial Altar. We should visit each other more often in the future to continue our friendship."

Liu Xiao seemed somewhat regretful, and only said:

"Unfortunately, the one in charge of Qingchen is no longer the Qingyuan True Person. This person is a remarkable individual who left to cultivate supernatural powers a few years ago. Now, it is his master, the Zhouyou True Person, who is in charge. This person can also be described as highly respected, but he is, after all, a high-ranking cultivator from an immortal sect, and not easy to get close to."

He had a deep impression of that Qingyuan Zhenren. There were few people in the world who acted like him. He didn't even seem like a member of a celestial sect, but rather like a rogue cultivator. He was ruthless and fast in his attacks.

Previously, this master wanted to use Panlin, and the sect had already negotiated with Qinghua, but the other party was late in arriving, and no one knew what had happened.

'This person is probably not far from reaching the third level of supernatural power.'

Liu Xiaowen's heart stirred. Among the cultivators he had seen, the one with the most talent was undoubtedly this Qingyuan Zhenren, who had almost no bottlenecks in breaking through to supernatural powers.

"Then there is Douyan Mountain. That Master Pingxiu is an old friend of my master. If you need alchemy, you can go to him and pay the normal price. Apart from that, there is nothing else. However, two demons died in Bai Cang back then, Xiu Han and Ren. Now there are many water-element spiritual objects of these two paths within a radius of ten thousand miles. Although they are not at the Purple Mansion level, they are still rare among Foundation Establishment cultivators. We need to carefully send people to collect them."

Xu Fayan agreed to everything, saw his senior brother off, and watched as the crimson flame in the void disappeared. Only then did he leave the palace and look out to sea.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he immediately summoned two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Meet the real person."

Standing in front was a tall man, dressed in a golden robe, carrying a long spear on his back, with rugged features. He was none other than Qi Zhengyi, the Divine Thunder Foundation Establishment cultivator of the sect who had been based overseas for a long time. He had received the news early on and knew that Elder Fayan was now in charge of the overseas affairs.

'Has he really become a supernatural being?'

Qi Zhengyi was puzzled and somewhat incredulous that another Purple Mansion cultivator had joined the sect. However, it wasn't his own Senior Brother Liu, but rather this extremely aloof Senior Brother Xu, which was a bit of a pity.

As he was pondering this, he saw a pair of yellow eyes looking over, like those of a demon.

"What's the problem?"

The young man in black robes spoke in a low voice, which carried a hint of coldness, making Qi Zhengyi, who was standing to the side, feel dazed, as if his own thoughts had been overheard.

This is precisely the mystery of the [Youyang Sacrifice].

Both of them were given the script and were not on guard. This earth-containing supernatural power is a combination of body and mind. As long as the other party stands on the ground, it can see into their mind and hear their thoughts.

"What brings you here, Master?"

A somewhat lazy voice sounded from behind. Kong Kong was dressed in a white robe, with a rapier at his waist. His figure was extremely blurry, as if he was about to disappear into the underworld at any moment.

"Investigate the area within a radius of 100,000 li around Bai Cang to see which Purple Mansions exist. Be wary of immortals, shamans, demons, and monsters."

Xu Fayan did not try to hide anything, but simply gave the order to send the two Foundation Establishment cultivators to take a look first. If there was any news, he would go in person.

Although he has only mastered one divine power at the moment, the [Nether Sheep Sacrifice] is one of the most core divine powers of the Earth-Nourishing Realm, with many profound mysteries, and can almost be used as two powers.

Even so, killing a Purple Mansion demon is extremely difficult, since he doesn't yet have the means to seal the Void, and for now he can only proceed slowly.

Kong Kong'er's gaze sharpened slightly, but she remained silent, seemingly guessing the thoughts of the person before her. She and Qi Zhengyi, who was beside her, accepted the order and retreated. Xu Fayan watched the two Foundation Establishment cultivators leave, and with a thought, the light of the earth-embedded structure flickered. He then saw that the island below was gradually expanding, constantly multiplying and wriggling outwards.

According to the "Mysterious Book of the Netherworld," the most important immortal object in the Earth is the "Sprouting Soil," which is said to be able to continuously multiply once it falls into the mortal world, until it fills the entire world.

Gentu has the ability to move mountains and fill seas, while Yuntu allows these islands to grow on their own until they are connected. At this rate, he can create a continent in thirty years if he stays here.

'When you start practicing magic'

He pondered silently. There were many wonderful methods in the [Mysterious Book of the Netherworld], but one of them, [Xiang Gui Yun Shou Xuan Guang], caught his attention the most. It was a wonderful technique involving the five paths of concealing taboos and transforming truth.

However, it requires five corresponding spiritual items, which are difficult to find.
-
Duobao.

Amidst a grove of green trees and a gentle breeze, a man rose from a high platform. His black robe, adorned with wind and thunder, seemed to scatter numerous azure blossoms. Behind him stood a solitary temple.

As his thoughts shifted, five distinct spiritual roots appeared in the White Wood Temple: Azure Gold Bamboo, Twilight Grass, Tender Peach Tree, Dragon Scale Green Wood, and a vast Golden Black Forest.

With a flick of his finger, Tian Tuo saw a layer of gloomy twilight descend upon them, obscuring the light and isolating them from all directions, somewhat resembling the concept of "twilight without knowledge."

The White Wood Temple is the most powerful command ability, and he has obtained five rare spiritual roots. If he wishes, he can borrow power from other Wood elements and directly activate the divine power, just like ancient cultivators.

Therefore, as long as he has a deep enough understanding of the other Wood elements, he can be regarded as an ancient cultivator of Jia Wood, Yi Wood, etc. He will not be hindered much in practicing other Wood element spells, and the power can reach up to 70% or 80%.

It can even create changes similar to other Wood-elemental supernatural powers, but the requirements for cultivation level are incredibly high, and it must be supported by the most top-level spiritual root.

"Judging by the time, it's time for me to leave."

With a calm mind, Tian Tuo continued on his way, bidding farewell to the golden and bronze creatures one by one. In an instant, he arrived at a golden peak, where he saw the True Man Bao Qiu.

"senior!"

He let out a loud shout, descended on the wind, and laughed:
"I have been a great disturbance in your area for a long time. Considering the time, it is time for me to leave today. I have come to express my gratitude."

Seeing that the other person was about to leave, Baoqiu didn't stop them, only saying:
"If you wish to come again in the future, the method is the same; simply recite 'Duobao' three times at Qiuhai."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared in the distance. Countless platinum rays of light emerged from a sacred land in the south.

This radiance condensed into one, transforming metal and stone, and then saw steeds galloping, the earth rising high, the noble, bright and pure golden radiance connecting like a city wall, rising into the sky, transforming into countless great crimson, turning like mirrors, and then into heads.

Victory is the head of all things, the circle of heaven, the line connecting autumn and winter, and the dulling of yang metal. It is said that Dui governs harvesting and Qian governs ripening fruit; the former prefers deficiency and the latter prefers fullness, all of which follow this principle.

Tian Tuo was also momentarily stunned by this magnificent supernatural phenomenon, but he did not know which high-level cultivator of the Duobao lineage had broken through and possessed such a vast spectacle.

This strange phenomenon did not dissipate and continued to rise. Various strange phenomena appeared in the Qianyang Heavenly Circle, including the formation of the complete Yang, the rotation of celestial bodies, and changes such as vigor and freedom.

The five methods are perfected.

Finally, a terrifying sword intent rose into the sky, perfectly perfect and complete, like the sun. Eventually, this strange phenomenon dissipated, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in a platinum robe.

This man had a slender face, a radiant aura, slightly white eyebrows, and carried a platinum diamond-patterned longsword on his back. The aura of perfect gold and jade slowly manifested on his body.

Taiping Mountain, undoubtedly, belongs to the sword immortal, Lü Zhao.

On the golden peak, Tian Tuo's gaze gradually turned serious, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. This sole cultivator of the Pure Yang Sword Path must be connected to Dong Hua.

The opponent possesses five supernatural abilities, all of which are of high rank, suggesting they are aiming for a higher level of cultivation. Their appearance in this treasure-filled grotto-heaven carries an even more special meaning.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on the perfection of your supernatural powers!"

Bao Qiu offered his congratulations first, his voice tinged with a smile, when he saw the Victorious Golden Sword Immortal descend gracefully from the heavens.

"Thank you for your help. I will repay you in the future. However, I need to return to the mountain gate now and I am afraid I cannot stay any longer."

"Just right."

Bao Qiu smiled slightly and looked at Qing Yuan beside her.

"This is Qingyuan Zhenren from the Shangxiao Immortal Sect. He also wishes to return to Li. You may accompany him."

"Shangxiao?"

Lu Zhao's eyes held a hint of doubt. After a brief look, he saw that the cultivator was an extremely young Yuanmu cultivator who already possessed three supernatural abilities, which was quite astonishing.

"Having met you, fellow Daoist, why don't we travel together?"

Tian Tuo spoke in a low, melancholic tone, yet his gaze seemed to pierce through the Duobao Cave Heaven, reaching all the way to the far east.
