Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 186 Saint
The wind and rain were raging, knocking at the door of Juzhen Palace. The sky was dark and the sunlight was not visible.

Qionghe's words lingered in Xu Xuan's heart, causing him to feel a pang of gloom. He stared at the other person, his face calm, his tone deep:
"So what if my last name is Feng?"

Qiong He lowered her eyes. The wind and rain blew from outside, making her brows furrowed. She seemed to be thinking, and said hesitantly:

"The Feng family is the descendant of the ancient Holy Emperor. One of the nine manifestations of Xuan Qi is [Fu Yi]. The emperor came from Zhen, and his light is as bright as the sun and the moon."

Upon hearing this, the immortal foundation [Jiang Lei Ze] in Xu Xuan's body was moved, and lightning rolled up. The water in the lake surged, as if there were footprints of an adult, ancient and vicissitudes.

He heard clearly that the other party mentioned Xuanqi, and his heart was shocked. He only said softly:

"What are the Nine Manifestations of Mysterious Qi? Could you please explain it more clearly?"

Qiong He had never thought that the other party would ask about this matter, and was a little confused, but he still explained:

"In ancient times, the Dao would manifest itself, creating living beings. These beings were born in harmony with the Dao. At that time, there was no distinction between Purple Mansion and Golden Elixir, and all were called sacred. Things like Da Sui, the 'True Fire,' and Lei Ze, the 'Thunderbolt,' were either born from human blood or manifested directly from heaven and earth."

"[Fu Yi] is the manifestation of the Mysterious Qi, born knowing it, combining yin and yang, emerging from the Great Suiyan, and taking Feng as its surname."

Outside the hall, the wind and rain were strong, thunder was heard, and lightning was running, which made Xu Xuan silent for a while.

"If that's the case, then the so-called Fu Yi dragon and snake body is the image of that saint, and does he have the Feng bloodline?"

"wrong."

Qiong He slowly raised her head, her expression was solemn and dignified, the remaining childishness on her face disappeared, and her tone was nostalgic and heavy.

"He is a saint, a human being, not some so-called immortal or demon. The transformations of dragons and snakes, the formation of yin and yang, are the true nature of the human race. He has a great wish to restore humanity and would never wish to create another race."

"If success is achieved, everyone will be Fu Yi's body. Why should we submit to the immortals, demons, and devils?"

Xu Xuan sighed softly, his gaze seeming to pass through the bluestone table in front of him and look at the dragon-snake half of Qionghe.

"Now that there are no gods, it seems that this matter has not been accomplished?"

Qiong Hetou lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice with a slightly sad tone:

"That's right. Only a few descendants of the tribe remain. Their bloodlines are occasionally revealed, but none of them are pure."

"'Blood Qi' was polluted and turned into evil. Important figures died, their positions were stolen, and humanity was no longer prosperous."

Xu Xuan's heart was touched. In his immortal base, lightning flashed brightly, purple and white intertwined, turning into a vast scene.

"Now that many sects in Li Country still exist and the demons are weak, how can humanity not flourish?"

When Qiong He heard this, he looked over, sneered, and said in a deep voice:
"Although monks and mortals may appear similar in appearance, they are two distinct categories, a distinction far deeper than that of nationality, race, or tradition."

"Qi-refining regards fetal breathing as a slave, while foundation-building regards refined qi as blood and food. As for the Purple Palace, one can transform with a thought, and the Dharma body can be free to act as a man or a woman at will. It is not uncommon for one to transform into a monster."

"What the Emperor seeks is the prosperity of humanity, but not this kind of situation where the upper and lower are treated as pawns, and the upper and lower are treated as enemies. Mortals are as lowly as weeds, and can be trampled on at will by immortals, demons, and devils."

Xu Xuan thought for a moment and said:
"There are also righteous ways that take it as their responsibility to protect the people, but they cannot be generalized."

There seemed to be a fire in Qionghe's eyes, and his voice was filled with anger as he said in a deep voice:
"Unless everyone can practice cultivation, then no matter how kind the immortal path is, it will only be charity. Before, when the blood and energy were not obvious, they were of little use, so the families were willing to pretend. Now that the blood and energy are growing stronger, everyone's true colors will be revealed."

"Blood and Qi, are there any changes?"

Xu Xuan asked in a low voice, but Qiong He's expression changed slightly, not wanting to mention the matter anymore, and said instead:

"Your sect has the bloodline of Fu Yi. I sensed it during the Wuhuang battle. I have been avoiding Shu Chun for the past few years. Now I have found an opportunity to come to you."

"So, what exactly do you want?"

Xu Xuan's eyes darkened as he looked towards Qiong He, only to hear him whisper:

"I want to see her. If it's possible, if her bloodline is pure, I can lead her to her ancestral land and seek guidance."

"Also, I intend to relocate the three tribes that previously followed me, totaling a thousand people, to Qingwei. The [Ji Xiang] transformed by Shuchun most enjoys human sacrifices, so I intend to rescue the people of these three tribes."

Qionghe paused, suppressed his anger, and said softly:

"After you move here, you can govern as your people. I will never interfere."

Xu Xuan thought for a moment after hearing this and said:

"I can recruit people, but I need to make some plans. Jiangbei has been in turmoil lately, so we can't act rashly."

Qiong He lowered his gaze slightly, said only "good", and slowly stood up. His nimble dragon-snake half-body stood up, his red scales gleaming, and he whispered:

"Now, take me to see her."

Tiantuo's voice sounded in Xu Xuan's Qi Sea. The old demon listened for a long time and finally spoke at this moment.

"Let them meet. They can't avoid it. If we prepare early, we can gain the upper hand."

Xu Xuan stood up, and Qiong He behind him wrapped himself in the gray robe again. The two of them rose up with the wind, sweeping away the wind and rain.

On the Caiyun Peak not far away, the pines and cypresses sway in the wind, as if calling.
-
Inside the Mingsi Palace, Wen Si'an quietly looked at the so-called tribesman in front of him, a mixture of hope and fear rising in his heart. Cold incense burned in the palace, and the fragrance lingered.

She took the elixir given by Xu Xuan and practiced hard. Now she had reached the eighth level of Qi training and her brows were slightly furrowed.

Her senior brother had already told her the whole story, and she seemed to have a sudden realization, as if she was about to remember something, but she knew nothing.

At this time, Qiong He took off his grey robe, revealing his frail body. His red dragon-snake tail coiled up, and he looked at Wen Si'an with complicated eyes. He felt a sense of closeness in his heart, and his blood was touched. He whispered:
"Her bloodline was sealed."

When Xu Xuan heard this, he understood. He remembered what he saw in reincarnation. When Wen Sian was young, he was half dragon and half snake. Later, when his master's wife disappeared, this strange phenomenon disappeared.

At the moment, neither of them mentioned Wen Sian's mother. Xu Xuan naturally would not mention it. He still remembered what happened at the Dixin Pond before, so he naturally would not touch this taboo.

"Since it is the bloodline of an ancient saint, is there anything magical about it?"

Xu Xuan asked in a low voice, the [Fu Yi Qu] recorded in the [Jade Blood Heavenly Heart Technique] did not have a detailed discussion, and it seemed to have a blessing for fighting.

Qiong He lowered his eyes and said softly:

"It's naturally extraordinary. My bloodline is not pure, but this half of my body is manifested after practicing the Blood Qi Orthodoxy. It can already bless the Dharma body, which is equivalent to a noble species. My progress in practice is extremely fast, and there are no bottlenecks at all."

Wen Sian and Xu Xuan looked at each other. Qiong He looked very young, almost like a girl, but he was already in the late stage of foundation building. If his appearance had not changed, his cultivation speed would be truly amazing.

"If it's pure blood, then it's equivalent to what the ancients called a Dao body, with every part of its flesh and blood possessing innate magical powers."

"In that case, how should it be solved?"

Wen Sian frowned, feeling aggrieved. It was not because of the other party's words about the mysterious bloodline, but because she had a vague feeling that she had forgotten something, which was related to this matter.

"If you are building your foundation, I will use a secret method to lead you to an ancestral land. Once you gain recognition, you will be able to unlock it."

Qiong He's voice was also somewhat hesitant and uncertain. She had never seen such a sealing method before. After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Xuan and said softly:
"Could you please bring my three divisions here? By then, the gods under Shuchun will try to stop us, and I'm afraid we'll need Sect Leader Xu to stop us."

"Shuchu won't take action?"

Xu Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly. Now that Wu Huang had fallen into the hands of the Song family and was under the control of this wizard, the other party would obtain the status of a god and achieve a golden body. He was probably very close to the realm of supernatural powers.

"He has fallen into the divine path of Taixu. Although he has opportunities, it is difficult for him to move around in the real world. Only when the Conferred God is complete can he manifest."

"Currently, Shuchu relies on two of his subordinates who are at the foundation-building stage, one demon and the other, known as the left and right divine messengers. They are blessed with divine power. Although I can fight against them once or twice, I am not sure I can take them away."

Qiong He sighed. With her cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, she was naturally not afraid of the other party, but she had to take into account the people from the three departments, which made it difficult to protect them all.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Xu Xuan was confused. He was still in the middle stage and his sword intent had not been revealed. Why did the other party come after him?

Qionghe looked at it and said in a deep voice:

"Your sect is quite upright. At least the people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment, without any oppression."

"The immortal foundation you cultivated carries the nature of 'She Lei'. This tradition suppresses ancestral spirits, destroys altars and temples, and imposes the heaviest punishments. Although the prohibition of obscene sacrifices can be attributed to 'Divine Thunder', 'She Lei', through the ancient laws of heaven, can still restrain incense and the way of the gods."

Xu Xuan understood after hearing this.

"Divine Thunder" takes killing and divine power as its ultimate goal, and is dedicated to destroying all spirits and obscene sacrifices. "Zhen Thunder" operates according to the order of heaven, and is born and circulated. It comes from yin and yang and is the most ancient. "She Thunder" brings disaster and punishment, and has a measure of birth and death, and acts according to the law. From the immortals in the heavenly palace to the emperors on earth, no one dares to disobey.

"I can promise you this, but..."

Xu Xuan's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice:

"I will help you extradite the people from the three tribes. There will be a war in Jiangbei later. I need you to help me protect the mountain gate for a while. You only need to stay within the formation and there is no need to go out to kill the enemy."

"Is it the Lotus Temple?"

Qiong He was obviously not a person who kept a low profile on news, and he had long noticed the changes in Jiangbei.

"That's right. With the departure of Changsheng Temple, Chiyunbei is almost turning into a Buddhist land. Sooner or later, our sect will have to confront this place. Have you thought about it and whether you still want to move people here?"

Xu Xuan didn't want to hide anything and directly explained the pros and cons.

"Shuchun is a sinister man. There were nearly ten thousand people following me in the Qingque, Yuhua, and Xiangli tribes. He held a blood sacrifice, and now there are only a thousand left."

"Moving elsewhere? Not to mention the so-called barbarians you guys, even those ordinary people, do other immortals treat them as human beings?"

The fire in Qionghe's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and he said angrily:
"As long as you move the people from the three tribes here, I will help you."

"Okay, let's swear on this."

Xu Xuan and Qiong He swore an oath to heaven and set a date. According to what the other party said, they should take action at the beginning of spring next year. At that time, Wu Huang would hold a sacrifice ceremony and see if the situation was relaxed.

Qionghe stayed in Caiyun Peak during this period. She seemed to have many things she wanted to discuss with Wen Sian.

The wind and rain outside the hall gradually stopped, and the sun shone down on Caiyun Peak. The Dixin Pond on the halfway point of the peak was rippling with green waves, reflecting the trees.
