Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 142 Remaining Faith
Everything was still, and the surroundings seemed to slow down extremely, as if the spells, spiritual fire and white water were all paused.

Fan Qingzhu and Liang Yong tried their best to hold Luo He back, giving Xu Xuan the opportunity to strike with his sword.

The trajectory of the magic power and the timing of the spell manifestation are all in his heart. Xu Xuan's eyes are clear, he stands with constant light, the sword body is bright, and the thunder and fire are dazzling.

In the thunder pool above, heavenly soldiers condensed from thunderclouds in the sky fell down, somewhat illusory, and merged with Xu Xuan's figure. The sword energy and lightning that had been accumulated for a long time were all contained in the sword body.

Xu Xuan's mind was clear, and his energy and spirit reached the peak. Thunder from the Tribulation Pool rained down to protect him.

Then, cut straight down.

Hengguang carried the sword energy and soared out as if he had a spirit. Countless spells were dissolved when he encountered it. Layers of lightning rushed down, and he went against the trend and moved forward unhindered.

The true meaning of the Thunder Palace's punishment was contained in the sword, locking Luo He's golden body, leaving him with no escape.

There was fear in the eyes of the Luohe statue. He only felt that the opponent's sword energy had changed, and its power increased, cutting at the extremely tiny part of his spell, shattering the true meaning of it.

'He wants to cut me where I am wounded.'

As this thought came to his mind, Luo He's heart trembled, and he frantically urged the golden silkworm to move. The strong power of incense gathered in his chest, turning this place into the color of pure gold.

The sword energy went straight down, and Hengguang's [Mirror Return] took effect, splitting into two sides, and then fell on the chest of the statue. The surging lightning exploded, and the misty sword energy shuttled back and forth, like chiseling a formation, and directly broke the golden silkworm.

The aroma of incense became stronger, the golden light was bright, the sword energy came to cut, and the incense was actually weakened. Purple thunder followed, and twelve great thunder lights followed. The sword energy opened the way and cut through.

Cracks gradually appeared on the golden silkworm. Luo He's expression changed. The opponent's sword could actually reduce incense. He had never seen it before. It came at an extremely fast speed. Purple light flew out, followed by Tianyin, and the golden silkworm on the chest was broken.

A huge sword wound was torn on the chest of the statue. The sword energy flowed unsteadily, strangling the power of the surrounding incense, making it impossible for Luo He to repair his body.

Golden blood poured down like rain, the snake-like hair on the statue moved ferociously, and in the chest cavity, a ray of magnetic divine light broke through the restraints, and the same magnetic field combined, and heavy pressure fell, suppressing the golden body and shattering it into pieces.

Luo He's physical body fell out of it, and the golden body was broken. His breath became extremely weak, and all the spells around him dissipated.

"If it weren't for this injury, it would have been a tough fight."

Xu Xuan retracted his magic sword, took a deep breath, and attacked again. Liang Yong beside him also mobilized his magic power, and purple lightning and black fire intertwined, instantly shattering the opponent's body.

But the witch's head was still intact. Although he was weak at the moment, he actually spoke:

"Good trick, today I"

Before he could finish his words, Xu Xuan drew his sword again and slashed fiercely, not wanting to listen to the other party's words. Liang Yong understood what he meant and poured out the black and gray [Alum Fire], blowing up the remaining flesh and blood.

On the remaining head of Luo He, the expression changed, and he opened his mouth and spit out two words condensed from black spells. An extremely unwilling look appeared on his face, and then his flesh and blood quickly withered and turned into ashes.

The black characters grew longer in the wind, and the surrounding poisonous insects quickly crawled out of the ground and scurried around. The black spell rose again, but it was different from the previous one. It enveloped everything around it, and there was no light anymore.

Greed, ignorance, anger, arrogance and doubt arose in everyone's heart. Only then did Xu Xuan see clearly what these two words meant.

【Yuanxie】

An extremely terrifying magical power surged within him, but fortunately it was not directed at the three of them, otherwise they would have died on the spot.

"How did Luo He get what Zifu left behind?"

Xu Xuan was shocked and suspicious. This was undoubtedly written by Zifu. Luo He got this spell with the help of Tiandu Mountain. Could it be that this spell was obtained?
Fan Qingzhu, who was standing nearby, had a pale face, and Liang Yong beside him also looked shocked. Xu Xuan held the sword and took a deep breath. At this time, the spell had not yet shown its power, for some reason.

Hengguang hummed softly, and the black spell above was affected and gradually dissipated, condensing on the ground and turning into a black pill. The magical power dissipated, and everyone walked out of the darkness, and all the poisonous insects around disappeared.

Luo He's blood gradually gathered beside the pill and condensed into a few short lines of blood words.

"Give me a pill, and there will be no more cause and effect."

Xu Xuan stepped forward, looking thoughtful, and turned around. Liang Yong and Fan Qingzhu beside him ignored the pill and the blood words, and even had confused eyes, gradually forgetting what happened before.

'So that's how you suggest it.'

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xuan picked up the black pill, and the blood words below immediately dissipated. He felt that some connection was broken, and his body and mind felt much more relaxed.

Now he roughly understood why Luo He chose to settle down near Dongmi. This magical power drove the wizard to contact him all the way just to convey this message.

"The purpose of Tiandu Mountain is to draw a clear line and end cause and effect."

Xu Xuan didn't know how effective the other party's behavior would be, but if he didn't take it, the other party might become suspicious of him, and he didn't want to get entangled with this family.

Liang Yong and Fan Qingzhu were still stunned where they were, as if they were affected by the magical power. Their eyes slowly regained clarity. Xu Xuan put away the precious pill. There was a record of its effectiveness on it, and he could know it with a little perception.

[Zhuo Yin Sheng Yuan Pill] is indeed a purple mansion-level elixir, taken from the turbid Yin Qi in the earth, inclusive and nourishing, it is a life-saving elixir. For those who are building the foundation, as long as there is still a breath left, taking it can immediately recover from injuries, which is almost like adding an extra life.

"It's a very precious elixir. I'll wait until Tiantuo wakes up and let him take a look at it."

Xu Xuan waited for a while before Liang Yong and Fan Qingzhu came back to their senses and looked at Luo He's remains.

"The master's swordsmanship is so superb that he broke the opponent's golden body with just one sword."

Fan Qingzhu smiled and congratulated him, seemingly completely oblivious to what had happened earlier. Liang Yong beside him was also amazed. "This is a magical power."

Xu Xuan looked at the two of them, his expression normal, and said with a smile:

"Now that the Luo River has been cleared, let's see what spiritual objects are hidden here."

He waved his hand casually, and his magic power surged, and he took the mustard seed object from the other party, and also collected the remaining spiritual objects and magic weapons on his body.

Luo He was in the late stage of foundation building after all, and his family was quite wealthy. He had four spiritual objects for foundation building alone, and they were of quite good quality. Unfortunately, three of them were from the witch sect, and they were just bone fragments and insect bodies, making them a bit troublesome to use.

The remaining spiritual object was something Xu Xuanze couldn't identify. It was a ball of golden gas mixed with incense, placed in a bottle. It was overflowing with spiritual energy and its origin couldn't be seen.

A top-grade white bone dagger for foundation-building, and the remains of the golden silkworm, which could be a foundation-building magic weapon after a little refining. The rest were some miscellaneous items, and Xu Xuan accepted them all.

He did not find the method of practicing the [Divine Language of Chaos], but he did find a volume of the art of killing curses, but it was only of the third grade.

[The Spell of the Altar to Sacrifice Disasters] was the spell that Luo He had used before to cast spells and kill people from a distance. Xu Xuan took a quick look at it and found that it contained a lot of barbarian characters, making it extremely obscure and difficult to understand.

'Only Fayan is willing to comprehend this.'

Put away the scroll of spells. The power of this spell is average, but it is unique in its unpredictability. It can be used effectively with Luo He's immortal foundation. If used by cultivators from other paths, the effect will be less.

After searching for a while, I found a yellowed torn page. It was nothing special, just ordinary, but the words on it were interesting, as if they were taken from a letter.

"Fellow Daoist Huayuan, you are now in Li Country. The position of 'Tianlu' will soon return. The superior wants to start things and re-establish the rules and regulations. You should cultivate Wu, Ji, Ren, and Kan, and make them the masters of mountains and rivers. You can live in a place, then cultivate disasters and blessings, follow the witch, and follow the heavenly officials, and you will also be free."

"Cang Jin, Bing Huo, and Yuan Mu, all three have their place. If you don't want to devote yourself to the great cause, you can escape Geng and Xin, avoid Jia and Yi, escape to Yun Gen, and join the immortal sect. That's also free."

"When the Five Thunders come, the shock will come from the Pool of Calamity, and the gods will laugh from heaven. Then you can turn to the She Palace. Although it is dangerous, it is the right path."

"Only the two paths of . and . should never be sent to practice, because..."

When Xu Xuan saw the word Huayuan, he was shocked. This letter was for the immortal in Changsheng Temple, so why did it end up in Luo He's hands? The other party called him Fellow Daoist Huayuan. Was it Zifu, or when they were young, still at the foundation-building stage?

What is the Taoist tradition of "Tianlu"? Which two traditions cannot be practiced?

The text in this part of the letter had been erased and could no longer be seen. He turned his gaze to the line that said "Ji Hu Wu Lei" and pondered for a moment, but had no clue.

"Jie Chi and Tian Xiao are two immortals. What's the meaning of moving to Shegong?"

He recalled the Zhou Shi whom he had seen on the [Zhou Tian Ranking] in Tingxin Pavilion before. The foundation of his cultivation was the "Divine Thunder". What was the connection between [Heaven's Smile] and him?
Hua Yuan cultivates the "Geng Jin" energy, but is driven by Emperor Taizhen, and seems to be retreating.

Xu Xuan looked at the words above, his mind becoming increasingly heavy. "Bing Fire" and "Zhen Lei" were both mentioned in this letter. If there was any connection, it would not be good.

"Who is the superior, the Song family?"

He sighed deeply, thinking that this matter could only be discussed after Tiantuo woke up.

He then gave a few instructions, asking Liang Yong and Fan Qingzhu to lead their disciples to occupy this place, prepare manpower, and plan to advance deeper and seize Lingshan.

Xu Xuan rode the wind and rose up. Now that he had occupied this piece of land, it was time to get down to business.

[Pond of Netherworld Poison], he silently recited the name of this fire pool, reviewed the "Complete Record of Fire Poison" in his mind, secretly observed the veins of the earth, and felt the flow of spiritual energy.

There are three fire pools in Wuhuang, all of which are recorded in this volume of "General Record of Fire Poison". These fire pools are all hidden underground, generated by the earth veins and move with them, making them difficult for ordinary people to find.

Following the records, Xu Xuan observed the mountains, rivers and wind directions, and finally locked onto a low hill. The place was unremarkable, but he was sure it was here.

Riding the wind down, he came to the side of this low hill. Xu Xuan took out Dan Ting, and the sword energy surged as he chiseled downwards. With the power of his immortal foundation, he moved at an extremely fast speed. In a short while, he escaped to the depths of the earth veins.

An aura alternating between heat and cold gradually approached. Xu Xuan concentrated his mind and slashed in the tunnel. A cave appeared before his eyes.

This place is connected to an underground river, and there is a small fire pool in the cave. Xu Xuan put away his sword and moved closer to look over. The spiritual fire was burning fiercely, and it was purple-black in color, sometimes hot and sometimes cold.

This is the [Small Underworld Poison Fire]. According to legend, the underworld uses this fire to punish sinners, burning them with alternating hot and cold temperatures, causing extreme pain.

Xu Xuan looked at the pool of fire with envy. There were three flames in it that he could collect. He controlled it with his magic power and touched it with his spiritual consciousness. He felt that it was almost burning along his spiritual consciousness. There were changes in temperature and a pain came over him.

"It can damage spiritual consciousness, so it's a good thing for fighting."

He took out a treasure box that he had prepared long ago and collected the three spiritual fires one by one. The fire in this fire pool was still strong and could still be nurtured, but he didn't know how long it would take.

"Three foundation-building spiritual fires, now we don't have to worry about fire anymore."

Xu Xuan turned and left. Now that this place had been broken, it was time to plan for the several sacred mountains in the center. The Duan and Liu families should also be taking action.

The purple-black fire in the cave ran and dispersed, and there was no sound anymore.

　There will be another one later
