Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 181 Returning
Walking on Fengyan Mountain, Xu Xuan's mind gradually became heavy. He thought of a figure waiting for him at the door, and a feeling of guilt and uneasiness gradually spread in his heart.

"Do you feel guilty towards your junior sister?"

Tiantuo seemed to sense Xu Xuan's mood and whispered something.

"None of your business. You're the one who forced me to agree to this. Even if I don't agree to this marriage, can Fire Crow still drive me away?"

Xu Xuan was confused and wanted to speak, but Tian Tuo just laughed strangely and continued:

"It's not the same thing. Guangze's will is actually for me to see. Since you are acting in Mingze's name, you must also bear the consequences of Longting. Since he said so, I think he has considerations."

"You've been using the name of Dragon Court for a long time. It's best to agree to this, but use the power of Fire Crow."

"Love between men and women is nothing compared to so-called magical powers. Just fool them and drag them to your Purple Mansion. You can go wherever you want. How dare anyone in the world force a Purple Mansion Sword Immortal?"

Xu Xuan's mind gradually became heavy. He felt that this was not right. The path of immortality should be free and unfettered. Now there was such calculation of interests. Was there any immortal spirit or true love in it?

Yang Yuanxin, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned his head, facing the sunlight, with a serious expression, and said softly:
"Do you really want that?"

Xu Xuan looked at that face, not knowing how to answer. Yang Yuanxin lowered his eyebrows slightly and said softly:

"I have understood these things since I was a child and have no complaints. But now that I have made this decision, I will treat it with sincerity."

"I hope Youdu will not blame my father and brothers. They may be a little aggressive, but they have no intention of harming you. If you truly do not wish, my clan will definitely protect you."

"Your cultivation now depends entirely on your own. I respect you. You can make your own decision on this matter. I will support you no matter what. I will intercede with my father and brother."

Her voice was steady, as if she had made up her mind, and also carried a sense of relief.

"If you really have concerns and just think this marriage is fake, I will follow your wishes. After all, you have someone you love and are destined to achieve great things."

Yang Yuanxin said this in a low voice, her self-esteem almost fell to the ground, her eyebrows drooped, her body trembled a little, and her former bright and cheerful spirit was gone.

"That's not the case. I understand the implications of this matter, and I would never vent my anger on you."

Yang Yuanxin nodded slightly, raised her head again, and forced a bright smile.

Xu Xuan sighed softly. As long as he achieved the Purple Palace, everything would be easy. He could decide the matter on his own then. The main issue was Mingze. He wondered what Guangze Dragon King meant.
Soon they arrived in front of the [Qiyaku] and landed in the center of the Fengyan Mountain formation. Yang Yuanyi took out the formation plate and flicked it lightly. Then he saw a red treasure house below open, and a white elixir with a clear aura slowly emerged from it.

"This is the [Qingling Shenyi Pill], a secret of Daxia, only available to the direct descendants of the Golden Crow. It is a magical elixir of the "Qingqi" aura. If taken when breaking through to the Purple Mansion, it will increase your lifetime chance of breaking through to the next level by 30%."

"The method of refining this pill has been lost, and my clan only has two left. One is for my brother, and the other is for you to achieve supernatural powers."

Xu Xuan took the elixir, but Tiantuo in the Qi Sea only said softly:
"Qingqi Lingdan is indeed rare. It seems that Huo Ya is determined to help you break through the Purple Mansion and has invested a huge amount of money."

"You are now in the middle stage of foundation building. In about 20 to 30 years, you will be ready to break through to the Purple Mansion. Once you achieve this, you will have more methods to use."

Xu Xuan said nothing. He took the precious pill and said softly:

"Thank you, nobleman."

Yang Yuanyi lowered his eyebrows and said:

"My people will probably leave for the South China Sea in two or three years and leave the country. If you have any concerns now, it's best to resolve them as soon as possible."

"You still need to be careful outside. If you encounter any problems, use that true feather. Father and even the old man will intervene."

Xu Xuan responded softly, then said goodbye to Yang Yuanxin, decided on a time to meet again, and flew away on the wind.

As soon as he left Fengyan Mountain, Xu Xuan, standing in the clouds, felt a little nervous and asked in a low voice:

“How many people are looking at me now.”

"About ten Purple Mansions are watching you with their magical powers. You have achieved the Sword Intent and are a demon. Many immortal ways probably want to eliminate you as soon as possible. Mingze Dragon Court has a great reputation, but they can't take action. These immortals are worried about the Fire Crow."

"How to go?"

Xu Xuan's mind sank, but Tiantuo chuckled and summoned the decree written by Guangze Dragon King. The mysterious light surged, breaking through the void in an instant and dragging Xu Xuan inside.

This place looks like Taixu, but there is also a strong light of Ren water, which extends into a road, embedded in the deepest part of Taixu, separated from the outside world, and no one can peek in.

"Where is this place?"

Xu Xuan was confused. He vaguely felt that this place seemed to be some kind of teleportation route, related to Mingze.

"[Mingze Heavenly Road] was opened up in the vast void by Renshui Dragon Lord. Ever since Mingze withdrew from the world, this place has been deserted. Your father entrusted you with the authority to travel through this land."

"The Dragon Court is increasing its bets on you, even intending for you to inherit Mingze's legacy." "This is a path opened up within the abyss by the Golden Core, a substitute for teleportation. It originally corresponded to the entire Li Kingdom's water system. Now it's severely damaged, with only the Li River remaining. I'm afraid it will dissipate after a few more uses, but it can still save lives."

Tian Tuo continued to explain in a low voice:

"The Renshui Dragon Lord landed from the South China Sea. Guangze asked you to go. I'm afraid there must be some cause and effect."

"As expected, it's time to repay what you borrowed. It's time for the Dragon Court to collect its debts."

Xu Xuan sighed softly, and Tiantuo activated the magic decree, causing Xu Xuan to silently appear from the bottom of a small stream in Luoqing, turning into a black carp, and swimming downstream to the retreat cave.

After returning to his physical body, Xu Xuan exhaled lightly. The clear air in his qi sea remained still, and everything was calm. It seemed that this heavenly road was indeed hidden.

As his mind moved, the immortal talisman in his sea of qi felt something, and he seemed to be able to vaguely see countless lightning bolts falling from the void, slowly heading towards the human world. The fate of many people who practiced thunder magic gradually changed.

"You should retreat first and practice this [Great Thousand Heart View]. I will try to forge the fate of the Thunder Palace and borrow the status of the immortal tablet to make it look real."

Tiantuo didn't hesitate to display a spell, which had no grade and was some kind of extremely unique method of cultivating the mind.

Xu Xuan looked at it carefully. He found that this magic was developed by ancient immortal cultivators who could not bear the hardship of seclusion. Their original bodies resided in spiritual places to cultivate, but their spiritual consciousness could be separated, wandering in the outer world, doing two things at the same time.

This is not a technique of splitting oneself into two parts, but rather a technique of relying on a spiritual place and controlling it. It is like treating the body as a puppet and the mind can enter it at any time.

"Spiritual Land, Is the Heavenly Palace in the Sea of Qi feasible?"

Xu Xuan's mind turned, and he tried to place his mind on the Heavenly Palace. The clear air came slowly and connected directly to the [Taiqing Dao Realm]. His mind was as one, ignoring the obstacles and changing as he pleased.

"The dragon body is in seclusion at the Fire Crow's place until he reaches the Purple Mansion. As for the so-called marriage, we will postpone it if possible. If not, we will see later."

Xu Xuan was wearing the black jade bracelet with dragon pattern on his hand. After a little trial, the [Hunyi Wujiu Xuanlei] was differentiated, driving the immortal base, the [Jianglei Ze] returned to the dragon body, and the [Jie Xin Chi] was still in the original body.

With a thought, the two immortal bases were able to connect through the [Taiqing Dao Realm]. They could exchange and merge even though they were far apart, and even practice with both bodies at the same time. His practice speed was much faster.

"There's no need to worry about the splitting of the immortal base affecting your strength. You can take it back at any time. Even if one side is in danger, you can use the [Taiqing Dao Realm] to take back the immortal base."

Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. His cultivation had now reached the middle stage of foundation building. He should also consider how to break through to the Purple Palace. Once he was ready to break through, he would need to go into seclusion for at least five years, and as long as ten or twenty years.

During this period, the immortal base is in the process of changing, and once it is broken through, it will have almost no power to resist.

"We should train a few more foundation-building cultivators in our sect. Otherwise, before the Purple Mansion takes action, a few foundation-building cultivators will disrupt my retreat."

Xu Xuan's mind sank as he began to review what he had gained so far. This time when he entered the Heaven of Tribulation, he had obtained a great deal of provisions, spiritual objects, and magical instruments, but it would still take some thought to use them now.

First, there is the magic weapon, the [Ginseng Sheep Furnace] of the first level of the Purple Mansion, which is of the earth-containing element. I am afraid it will be useful to Fa Yan.

As for the ancient magic weapons, the three sets of armor, [Earth Desolation], [Sky Rain] and [Wu Guang], the [Golden Bird Scissors] and [Earth Evil Tower] on Nan Xiu's body, the [Divine Law Mirror] carried by Luo Shunfu, and Xi Ming's [Golden Autumn] magic sword and [Fallen Light Sky Net].

Xu Xuan threw all these ancient magic tools into the pure air, and with the help of the immortal stele, they were shattered and decomposed into the most primitive spiritual objects. He gained a lot and only needed to recast them.

Next were the items on An Xianhui's body, the Taoist robe, the large bow and the golden cup, all of which were excellent ancient magical instruments. Xu Xuan thought about it for a moment, and temporarily suppressed them with clear energy, without crushing them, and prepared to trade them through the dragon body.

Among the opponent's mustard seeds, in addition to some elixirs and food supplies, the most valuable thing is the spiritual fire. There are two true fires at the foundation-building level. Xu Xuan was delighted. This can be fed to the fire spirit Wen Guang who is refining magic weapons, allowing him to directly break through to the foundation-building level and refine magic weapons.

As for the many Ding fires used by the other party, Xu Xuan did not see them. He thought they were stored in the Qi sea.

There are also four Purple Palace Spirit Pills, two of which are [Sky Blue Divine Embryo Pills] which can purify the immortal base and are the most precious.

There were still quite a few spiritual objects and elixirs left, and Xu Xuan collected them all. These were enough for him to cultivate all the way to the Purple Mansion, and there was still a lot left over. If he gave them to his disciples to use secretly, they should be able to help him build a lot of foundation as soon as possible.

Xu Xuan calmed down. According to his calculations, once the dragon body passed away, he would use the excuse of seclusion to avoid seeing anyone.

As for the so-called marriage, when I reach Zifu and enter Mingze, I think I can meet the Dragon King and ask him clearly to see what the Dragon Court is planning.

'Purple Palace.'

Xu Xuan muttered to himself that only by achieving supernatural powers could he have freedom. He had already made up his mind that when the time comes, he would take the sect overseas, away from this place of trouble. It would be difficult for other sects to monitor him anymore, and he and Tiantuo would have plenty of ways to expand the sect.

"Only by achieving the Purple Palace and leaving the sight of other cultivators can one safely use some secret methods."

'Even this old demon will be reincarnated.'

Xu Xuan calmed down and focused on practicing [Daqian Xinguan]. This spell could not create a clone with its own intelligence, but it could be controlled remotely with the mind, which was enough. Unless trouble occurred on both sides at the same time, there would be almost no loopholes.
