Han Clan Immortals: I have a hundredfold energy-gathering bottle

Han Jieliu made no attempt to conceal anything, and the appearance of this water mansion before everyone was quite eye-catching.

"With such imposing presence, this flag must be some kind of Foundation Establishment treasure. This Han Jieliu truly lives up to his reputation as someone from a superior sect; he's certainly had many opportunities..."

Yuan Chengju observed from a distance with his divine sense, biting his lip slightly.

Upon seeing several puppet-like figures appear in the mansion and entangle all of his uncles and elders who were at the mid-stage, his expression changed even more.

In the past two days, he was overjoyed to suddenly see the ancestor who had broken through to the late stage and emerged from seclusion, thinking that his family was about to prosper.

Then they suddenly heard that the ancestor had given an order for the family to raise an army and march eastward, so they immediately went to the outskirts of the Han family.

Now, we see Han Jieliu employing a variety of methods, single-handedly changing the course of the war between the two families.

The events of the past few days have been more dramatic than what I have experienced in the past ten years in Huananling.

Seeing that Han Jieliu had such skills, Yuan Chengju was able to entangle three mid-stage cultivators from the Yuan family all by himself.

He sensed something was wrong, feeling that his plan was about to change, and looked towards the old ancestor on the mountain.

This ancestor of his, Yuan Yingtuan, was his grandfather. He had met him many times before Yuan Yingtuan went into seclusion and received instruction in cultivation from him.

Although he used to appear aloof and indifferent, and rarely concerned himself with clan affairs, he was never as strange as he is now.

Seeing his own son in danger, he remained silent and did not tell anyone, simply watching from afar.

"Although I had heard that my family's 'Chang Gui Zuan Sha Jing' would affect a cultivator's mind, I never expected it to be so terrifying. This change in temperament... is like being possessed."

"If we abandon our clan members like this, is this Yuan Yingtuan on the mountain really the same ancestor of our family? Why is he sending his troops here to press against the Han family? I don't understand."

Thinking of this, Yuan Chengju had a strange and inexplicable thought that made him feel as if he were on the verge of death.

The old patriarch of the Yuan family on the mountain was no longer his father, but was driven by something strange in his body, like a demon.

It was something he cultivated himself, something he knew and willingly gave birth to; it was the very essence of this ancestor.

Could this deviation in cultivation be what people call "going astray in cultivation"?

"Going astray in cultivation"... Yuan Chengju had heard this term before, in a classic book that had been passed down from the north.

The term "fire deviation" refers to a cultivator mistakenly taking the "fire-raising" path among the five paths of the "fire virtue".

The name of this path is "Ju" (举), which means to burn from the bottom up to the top, disturbing the mind and emotions; it is the fire in the heart.

Because it is the most intensely stimulating to the mind and nature, and the most captivating to human emotions, it can cause great transformations and changes in a cultivator.

Therefore, even if one is not a fire-element cultivator, one still has strange tendencies related to the inner fire.

If one's inner fire is stirred during cultivation and is mistakenly drawn into the mind, it will cause the cultivator's emotions to change, their behavior to become unwise, and their personality to become eccentric.

Therefore, this practice of "raising fire" is mostly practiced by monks, Buddhists, and Taoists from the north because it connects with one's mind and nature.

The terms "going astray" and "becoming possessed" are even listed together. It is said that this "fire-raising" is also related to the most taboo method of becoming possessed in Buddhism and Taoism, and interacts with "cultivation of evil spirits".

According to the book, the Buddha and the Dao were established by three people in the past: the Supreme One, the Most Powerful Lord, and the Most Enlightened One, and were known as the Three Great World-Honored Ones.

Although the three individuals lived in different eras and held different positions of authority, they are often recorded together, suggesting that they jointly established this Buddhist and Taoist doctrine.

Later, demons emerged from immortals and were released, causing chaos in the world, to the point that no one wanted to talk about them anymore.

Therefore, these secrets were not mentioned in the book that came from the north; they were only briefly mentioned.

The main topic is the so-called "possession by demons".

Besides the Buddhist and Taoist explanations, cultivators of immortality also encounter the phenomenon of falling into demonic possession.

If one cultivates a lineage such as "He Sha" or "Tu De," or is associated with demonic paths, it is easy to be lured into demonic ways.

Just like his current grandfather...

Yuan Chengju was very perceptive from a young age, able to discern many things from the smallest details.

Realizing this possibility, he gently took a few steps back.

But seeing that no one in the family had noticed, he found himself in a dilemma, feeling a pang of sadness and fear, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

On Jianzhu Mountain, Han Chiting and Han Jinwei saw Han Jieliu take action, using the Water Mansion to restrain the three mid-stage cultivators of the Yuan family, and they each had their own expressions.

Han Jinwei had witnessed Han Jieliu's puppetry techniques before, so he wasn't surprised.

Now that there are two more mud figures, he only thought that Han Jieliu hadn't used his full strength when he fought him.

Han Chiting, standing to the side, was deeply shocked. Looking at Han Jieliu in the Water Palace, whose power and prestige were overwhelming, and who was dressed in indigo robes, he could only think...

"If my Han family survives this battle, I will make sure Xiao'er becomes a disciple of Jieliu."

Seeing Han Jie take action, the two members of the Han family did not remain idle either.

Han Chiting headed towards Yuan Chenggu in the distance, a Qi Refining early stage versus an early stage.

Han Jinwei held his sword in mid-air, the sword feather half-unsheathed, its aura ready to be unleashed with a simple gesture.

He quietly observed Yuan Yingtuan in the distance.

He saw Yuan Yingtuan close his eyes and meditate again after shattering the Han family's grand formation, remaining in place.

It seems that the life and death of the elders and children in the family have no effect on him.

But Han Jinwei dared not underestimate it, and thought to himself.

"The Yuan family's martial arts are indeed strange and unpredictable. Although I had noticed that Yuan Yingtuan had a strange personality before, it was never to this extent. After breaking through to the later stage, he has become completely disregardful of other people's lives."

"The Yuan family has a history with the Zhuang family. They were like tigers and accomplices. The Zhuang family's book, 'The Scripture of Severing Ties with the Tiger,' was inherited by my family. It is related to their book, 'The Scripture of Gathering Evil Spirits and Accomplices,' and even their immortal foundation is there..."

Since ancient times, the courier has been a follower of the tiger. The Yuan family is a courier who gathers evil spirits, but the Zhuang family's methods mean severing ties with the tiger and refusing to be implicated.

Connecting the two, Han Jinwei felt he had guessed something.

Not long ago, the Yuan family was still planning to allocate manpower to the market.

Then suddenly they marched in and today they have entered our territory.

Such a contradiction suggests that it was not a pre-planned scheme, but rather an action suddenly requested by Yuan Yingtuan.

"Yuan Yingtuan has brought his troops here, creating such a grand spectacle. Could it be that he is seeking some kind of symbolism to prepare for foundation building...?"

Thinking of this, Han Jinwei's heart stirred slightly, and he was about to remind Han Jieliu of something when he saw a sound coming from his water mansion.

Yuan Yingmu, a member of the Yuan family, was currently fighting against a snake-dragon clay figure and had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Seeing that no matter what moves he used, he could not destroy the thing in front of him, and his magic power was also greatly depleted, he was trapped in the water palace.

Feeling fear, he drew his magical artifact in preparation for fleeing.

But the green-scaled demon seized the opportunity, its body swelled up, and it swept across, severing his left hand that was holding the magic weapon.

Before Yuan Yingmu could even cry out in pain, Ni Si was already close at hand, exuding a stench of evil, and crushed his white-haired head in one swift motion.
