Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 616: Honglu Zhenren, Liuding Sacred Fire (3K monthly ticket required~)

Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

In the quiet valley, Gao Yang sat cross-legged on a protruding boulder on the cliff wall. Below the valley were Audleyville and the two-headed golden lion Jinfeng.

Audleyville looked up at Gao Yang from time to time, then lowered his head to flirt with Jin Feng.

Gao Yang opened his eyes, and the comprehensive network panel unfolded in front of him.

In three days, thanks to the help of the Phoenix Blood Purple Cloud Pill, his injuries have now fully recovered.

During these three days, because he was recovering from his injuries, he did not have time to check the network prompts.

Gao Yang opened the notification message on the comprehensive network, and immediately two lines of golden messages appeared in front of him.

"Network Tip: The character has met the relevant conditions for promotion to Legend. Please choose whether to promote to Legend?"

"Network Tip: The character refuses promotion, and the current level remains unchanged."

Gao Yang looked at the time and found that these two messages were sent three days ago.

He understood that these two pieces of information should have been the promotion triggered by his killing the Great Sun Golden Crow Yu Yuan, when his energy and spirit had reached their peak.

At that time, he rejected it without much hesitation.

Compared with this sudden promotion, Gao Yang would rather accept the foundation accumulated bit by bit through his own efforts and then get promoted.

He had no regrets at all for giving up this opportunity to become a legend.

A legend who is promoted hastily is never a good thing.

That means that all the foundation he has accumulated over such a long time has been wasted, and he has no way of predicting what it will be like after the promotion or what his potential is.

Unlike the legendary promotion mission he is currently carrying out, because of its extremely high difficulty, Gao Yang can be sure that if he completes all the conditions of "The Only God of War" and is promoted to a legend based on this, he will definitely be very strong.

Even if he were placed in the legendary class, he would be a strong man, not a weakling who could be crushed by any legendary professional.

Don't think this can't happen. The gap between legends is often much larger than the gap between the extraordinary and ordinary.

After closing the comprehensive network panel, Gao Yang stood up directly.

As he moved, the two giant beasts in the valley cast their eyes towards him.

Gao Yang looked at the golden wind below, sighed slightly in his heart, and then his fighting spirit surged, and he immediately flew out of the valley.

Not long after, he arrived in front of a cave, which was the cave of Elder Li Ren.

Gao Yang stood outside the cave. Not long after, the formation outside the cave dissipated, and Elder Li Ren appeared in front of Gao Yang.

Seeing Gao Yang, Li Ren smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist Gao, have you recovered from your injuries?"

Gao Yang nodded and replied with a smile, "It's all fine now, Senior Li Ren."

"Then how about we go find Elder Xuanye now? The question about your merits has been resolved."

Gao Yang naturally would not refuse Li Ren's proposal, as he came here for this very reason.

The two walked side by side and soon arrived at the Human Alliance Hall.

In the Alliance Hall, Elder Xuanye was on the first floor of the hall at this time. When he saw Gao Yang and Li Ren, a smile appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Gao, Fellow Daoist Li."

"Elder Xuanye." Gao Yang bowed.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Gao, you came here this time for the purpose of meritorious service." said the great elder Li Ren on the side.

"Of course the old man knows," Elder Xuanye said as he flew towards the top floor of the Human Alliance Hall.

"This old man has already reported this to Master Honglu, the current leader of the Honglu Sect within our sect. Master Honglu is very interested in Fellow Daoist Gao and said that as long as your injuries are healed, you can come to him at any time."

Gao Yang was a little surprised by the other party's good attitude. After all, he was a Taoist immortal, a legendary powerful man.

As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the top floor of the Human Alliance Hall. After entering a room, they found a teleportation array inside.

"This formation leads directly to our Xuanmen Dao Sect. Uncle Honglu is also practicing in the sect right now." Elder Xuanye stood on the teleportation formation and said to Gao Yang and Li Ren.

Li Ren smiled as he stepped onto the teleportation array. He looked at Elder Xuanye beside him and said, "It's been many years since an old man like me has visited the Dao Sect elders. This time, I'm going to visit with Elder Xuanye. Do you mind, Elder?"

"Haha, that's not true, Fellow Daoist Li. The Spring and Autumn Sword Pavilion and my Xuanmen Dao have always been on good terms, so it's natural for us to communicate more."

Gao Yang nodded slightly to Elder Li Ren before stepping onto the teleportation array.

The three of them stood on the teleportation array, and Elder Xuanye directly activated the teleportation array. As the light of the teleportation array flashed, the three of them disappeared in an instant.

The spatial fluctuations dissipated, and when they subsided, Gao Yang was already in a towering hall.

This hall is simple and natural, and exudes a sense of harmony and nature everywhere.

"This is my Xuanmen Dao teleportation hall. Please follow me." Elder Xuanye did not waste any time. He took out a communication talisman from his storage bag and activated it, then led the two of them towards the depths of Xuanmen Dao Sect.

The pavilions and towers along the way, as well as the fairy mist, really fit Gao Yang's imagination of the immortal sect.

As the three of them continued to go deeper, Gao Yang sensed powerful auras, either actively or passively. This made him feel a little depressed, as there were indeed quite a few powerful people in the Xuanmen Dao.

Their final landing point was a not-too-high mountain. The peak had been shrunk, seemingly flattened by a sword. On the summit stood a massive black stone palace.

What makes this mountain different from other mountains is that it is dark red, as if there is a raging fire burning inside the mountain.

"This is the cave residence of the leader of the Honglu lineage, and also the place where Master Honglu practices." After Elder Xuanye finished speaking, he landed in front of the door of the Black Stone Hall below.

As the three landed, the originally closed door suddenly opened, and a voice as heavy as a mountain and as violent as fire rang out from the hall:

"Since you are here, come in."

Xuanye was the first to step into the hall, while Gao Yang and Elder Li Ren lagged behind slightly.

Entering the Black Stone Hall, Gao Yang's vision was filled with a huge round oven hanging in the middle of the hall.

Directly above the furnace is a hole that is slightly smaller than the furnace. A steady stream of red flames gushes out of the hole and burns the furnace.

Gao Yang could feel that the power of the flame seemed to be no less than the three-legged golden crow's sun fire.

Looking past the huge furnace in the hall, one can see a Taoist priest with a long beard and a black robe. He is sitting cross-legged in the void behind the furnace, watching the three people coming.

Elder Xuanye stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Uncle Master, this is Fellow Daoist Gao Yang, and this is Grand Elder Li Ren of the Spring and Autumn Sword Pavilion."

Master Honglu nodded slightly. Although there was no smile on his face, he was not serious.

"I'm used to the quietness here, please forgive me, fellow Taoists."

Great Elder Li Ren bowed quickly.

After some greetings, Gao Yang felt a little relieved.

And Master Honglu didn't waste any more time. He looked directly at Gao Yang and asked, "I heard from Junior-Martial-Nephew Xuanye that you, Mr. Gao, want to exchange your merits for a move from me. I wonder what kind of elixir you want to refine?"

"Senior Honglu, I'm not trying to refine pills, but I have a problem myself."

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Master Honglu was a little confused, and then he didn't make any movement, and instantly appeared in front of Gao Yang.

He looked Gao Yang up and down, then asked doubtfully, "My dear Gao, forgive my poor eyesight, but I see that you are in good spirits, full of energy, and abundant blood. You don't look like you have any problems."

"Senior Honglu, there's something wrong with my bloodline." Gao Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Master Honglu immediately reached out for Gao Yang's wrist. Seeing this, Gao Yang did not dodge.

A pair of warm, large hands clasped my wrist, and a gentle, restrained energy surged into my body.

After a few seconds, the energy was retracted, and there was a hint of surprise in Honglu Zhenren's eyes.

"Young Master Gao actually has a trace of the blood of an ancient demon in his veins, and it doesn't look like it was born with him. Was it something he actively absorbed later in life?"

"I can't hide it from you, Senior. This was indeed something I merged when I was young." Gao Yang nodded. "I was young and ignorant back then, but now that I've returned to the Void, I've noticed something's amiss, so I've been looking for a solution."

Master Honglu frowned and remained silent.

Seeing this, Gao Yang did not urge him and just stood quietly aside.

After a long while, he finally heard the crisp sound of Honglu Immortal clapping his hands.

Gao Yang looked up and saw Honglu Immortal looking at him eagerly.

"You guys go out first. I want to talk to Gao Xiaoyou alone."

After Master Honglu finished speaking, Xuanye and Li Ren left the black stone hall as instructed.

As the heavy stone door of the Black Stone Hall slammed shut, Honglu Immortal came to Gao Yang with an eager look on his face, his words revealing a hint of excitement:
"My dear Gao, I've seen similar cases like yours in the classics of my Honglu lineage, and there are corresponding solutions."

Gao Yang raised his eyebrows, also a little surprised: "Senior, please speak."

"The world is our furnace, and all living things are our firewood. Your situation can be summed up in one word: refinement!" Honglu Zhenren paused before continuing, "Although the ancient demon blood in your body is of high quality, its quantity is small, while your human bloodline is large in quantity.

As long as you refine the ancient demon blood in your body through continuous refining, your blood will naturally become pure."

"If I do this, can I still retain some of the benefits that this ancient demon blood brings me?" Gao Yang was a little confused, but still asked.

"That's natural. This method only refines the ancient demon blood in your body, but the essence of it will naturally be integrated into your bloodline, and maybe it will be strengthened to a certain extent." Master Honglu looked at Gao Yang as if he was looking at a rare embryo of a magic weapon.

"I heard from my nephew Xuanye that you killed a three-legged golden crow. You can extract its sun blood and use it as a medicine to refine it in my furnace.

Firstly, it uses the Sun's True Blood to activate the blood of the ancient demon within you, and secondly, it uses the Sun's True Blood of the Three-legged Golden Crow to suppress your human bloodline, preventing it from being completely refined during the refining process."

Hearing this, Gao Yang seemed to understand what Honglu Master meant. He looked at Honglu Master in front of him, then at the huge round furnace, and asked uncertainly:

"Senior, do you mean to throw me into your furnace and refine me with that red flame?"

"Of course, don't worry, little friend Gao. I have been in control of the Six Ding Divine Fire for over two hundred years. With my skills, I won't put your life in danger."

Master Honglu patted his chest and made the promise.

Gao Yang listened to his explanation and suddenly felt like Sun Wukong facing Taishang Laojun.
