Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 213 Retreat
After several months, Ming crossed the sea and landed on land.

Gray and ancient palaces stand in groups, various monsters walk through them, and snake people in soft armor patrol among them. The whole place is peaceful.

The sky was covered with misty clouds, and a cyan-gold warship was suspended in the sky, with a large golden-red flag standing on it. Surging red fire swept down, and the demon generals surrounding it kept throwing various spiritual objects into it.

An old cultivator with white hair and beard was in charge at this time, ordering the foundation-building cultivators of Qinglu and Yanyu guards to jointly activate the [Bingyang Flag] to sacrifice and refine this treasure ship.

The aura of this old cultivator revealed that he was already in the late stage of foundation building. He was none other than Yang Yanxiang. In the past, when Xu Xuan entered the cave, this old cultivator had received him several times. Although the bloodline of this old fire crow was impure, his skills in refining equipment were quite high. Yang Yuanxin was asked to transfer him here to use the joint training method to refine this treasure ship.

Most of the spiritual objects Xu Xuan had obtained in recent days were put into the Mingguang warship. He even took action personally, taking advantage of the geographical location to refine this treasure ship. Now Mingguang is gradually recovering its former grade and returning to the Purple Mansion level.

Inside the main hall, Xu Xuan sat on a throne carved from black stone, with Yang Yuanxin and Lu Lian sitting on his sides. Xia Yin, dressed in colorful clothes, was leading a group of water creatures below, waiting for orders.

Xu Xuan looked at the wife of the Qing Hu lineage and said in a deep voice:

"Are there any forces in Tianchi who can redeem those people who were captured?"

"Both the [Da Nan En Temple] and the [Yao Chen Sect] have sent people to redeem the remaining monks and the withered Taoist priests by exchanging spiritual objects and magical instruments. Only Yaksha and the Youjing lineage have remained silent. I'm afraid they've been abandoned."

"In that case, demote these Yakshas into slavery and send them to mine on the seabed."

Xu Xuan smiled and looked at the leader of the coral shark tribe, Lan Yan, below, and said in a deep voice:
"Lan Yan, from now on, you, Shan Jiao, will be in charge of the mining business in Minghai. These Yakshas will be under your care."

The blue smoke below immediately stepped forward, the waves lifting the dark blue fish body, and said:
"Shan Jiao will definitely live up to your trust."

Lan Yan's voice was mournful, causing the various tribes below to show some emotion. After all, these former Nanming people had lived a very miserable life over the years, and now someone was speaking for them, so they were all very emotional.

The head of the toy girl is still hanging on the Taoist gate outside the palace, and is spat on and insulted day and night for people to vent their anger. Lu Lian even took out a magic medicine to keep Ying Qian alive. This was the first time Xu Xuan had seen such a cruel method.

"Now that all tribes have settled down, please disperse."

Xu Xuan looked down and ordered Xia Yin to take this group of survivors to different places in Minghai, each to perform their duties.

At this time, Yang Yuanxin's red eyes were bright, and it seemed that he wanted to say something. Lu Lian beside him understood and said goodbye first, leaving only Xu Xuan and Yang Yuanxin in the hall.

"Old man, I'm afraid we have to leave the South China Sea."

Yang Yuanxin's voice was low, but it was like thunder exploding in Xu Xuan's ears. He lowered his eyes and said,
"What's the matter?"

"Seeking gold."

"how long?"

"The shortest is fifty years, the longest is a hundred years."

Yang Yuan felt a little depressed, and the red feathers on his temples dimmed a lot. Xu Xuan was puzzled and said in a deep voice:
"Old man, you still have a long life ahead of you, why are you in such a hurry?..."

Xu Xuan felt a little regretful. This old Crow King had helped him a lot, but now he was on a road that was very dangerous. It was inevitable that he sighed.

"The Great Xia Yang family's master came from Dongyuan and met the old master. He said that he wanted to obtain the golden throne. During this hundred years, he asked the old master to go to Yanggu for seclusion."

When Yang Yuanxin talked about this, the atmosphere in the palace became a little quiet. Xu Xuan naturally understood which branch of the Yang family of Great Xia she was talking about. The eldest son of the Golden Crow was reincarnated as a human being and was known as Emperor Zhu Ci. He passed down another branch of the Yang family. The surname Yang of the Fire Crow was derived from the Golden Crow.

This branch still has traces today. The green lion in Panheng Cave mentioned it back then. It should be the same as the Suzaku luck of the Dali Song family. The bloodline of the family has the Golden Crow luck, and now this is the only branch of the Golden Crow left.

"Is there still a True Lord in charge of this branch?"

Xu Xuan's eyes moved slightly. This kind of imperial clan might still have golden elixirs in the world, otherwise how could they have escaped the reckoning.

"There should be, but I don't know how many there are. Only the elder of our clan entered Yang Valley when he was young. According to what he said, there may be a True Lord of the Sun Path."

Yang Yuanxin tried to lower her voice as much as possible. Her lineage had great respect for the Golden Crow, so she naturally didn't dare to speak carelessly.

Xu Xuan understood that the Sun was an extremely powerful sect, and the True Lord of this sect was definitely not an ordinary person, but he was hiding in a valley, and he didn't know why.

"Old Master, are you seeking the fruit position or the following position?"

"Neither. What I seek is the honorable position of [Eternal Light]."

When Yang Yuanxin mentioned this, Xu Xuan's heart was suddenly moved. What kind of Taoist sect did his sect belong to? It was founded by the great master Binghuo, a disciple of the master Hengguang.

Now that the Fire Crow was demanding a higher position and occupying the position of the ancestor, he couldn't help but have some worries in his mind, but they disappeared in an instant.

"If the Demon King Shangguang could take this position, it would be better than letting someone else take it."

At least this demon king has been friendly to him so far, and Xu Xuan even risked his life to obtain the essence liquid for him. If the other party can really achieve it, it will be a great thing for Xu Xuan.

"I wonder what's so special about the Venerable Position? How does it compare to the Fruition Position and the Secondary Position?"

Xu Xuan finally asked about this matter. Venerable Hengguang and Venerable Hehe, the golden elixirs of these two paths were deeply related to him. Even though he had asked Tiantuo before, many parties were vague about it. Now he could ask Yang Yuanxin.

"This is an ancient secret, and I'm not entirely clear on it. Not every path possesses this honored position. Only paths that are close to each other can perhaps produce this position of gold." "Bing Fire is the fire closest to the Sun, hence the position of [Eternal Light]. If we really want to discuss it, [Eternal Light] is Bing Fire, but it also possesses the authority of the Sun."

"If the Fruition True Lord gives his permission, Hengguang can transfer to the Sun Follower Position, or ascend to the Bing Fire Fruition Position."

Yang Yuanxin continued in a low voice:

"For example, among the Five Thunders, in ancient times, She Lei was the most respected, with Zhen Lei and Shen Lei assisting it. When approaching She Lei, a respected position would be born. If Zhen Lei [洊合] or Shen Lei [执劫] occurs, they all have this magical effect."

"The position of honor is the key to the connection between the various sects. The previous Hengguang Zhenjun was born in the [Fengxuan Palace], and is a member of the Xuanqi Dharma lineage, directly inheriting the Yin and Yang, and is extremely extraordinary."

Xu Xuan understood what he said and continued:
"So, wouldn't your esteemed True Lord possess several Daos? True Dragon also possessed Ren and Han waters. What do you think?"

"It's not the same thing. It can't be considered as possessing multiple Daos. It's just a proof of closeness to the Daos. If we really want to discuss it, the power and status may be higher than that of the average Jindan, but it's still far less than this level."

Yang Yuanxin smiled lightly and continued:

"The True Dragon combines all the gold positions of the Ren and Han waters, covering all aspects. The Honored Position is just the point where the two lines intersect."

Xu Xuan's mind raced. No wonder there was such an immortal base as the Jie Xin Chi. It was probably because he was in the position of [Yuehe] and was walking among the Zhen Society.

"This position has many ways to retreat. If the fruit position falls, one can either retreat to another path or take a further step forward."

"A few years ago, news arrived that the previous Hengguang Zhenjun had passed away. I, Fire Crow, cultivate Bing Fire and am close to the Golden Crow. It would be most appropriate for the old man to ask for the position of honor."

When Yang Yuanxin talked about this, his eyes brightened.

"But once the old man leaves, my father still has to protect Fengyan Mountain. He can't always watch over Minghai. He still has to be careful of the forces in Tianchi."

"Although the Ming Sea is suitable for your cultivation, when it comes time to break through to the Purple Mansion, it would be better to go to Fengyan Mountain. I have sent people to collect some thunder spirit objects and transform the spirit peak. Then you can retreat peacefully."

Xu Xuan sighed softly and said softly:
"My cultivation progress in the Abyss Sea is extremely fast. The spiritual veins of the entire sea area are at my disposal. At this rate, I should be able to attempt a breakthrough in ten years or so."

"It's better to play it safe. Wait until you are confident before you go into seclusion."

Yang Yuan was a little worried, Xu Xuan just said:

"It's better to break through as soon as possible. It's useless to spend time on the foundation-building stage now. Only the purple palace can bring about qualitative changes."

Xu Xuan now believes that he has few rivals in the foundation-building stage. Sitting in the dark sea, he is not afraid of the Vajra of Vows and the incense gods. However, at that time, a ray of magic light from the Chengyu Holy Spirit suppressed him.

Although the opponent had extraordinary background, he was still in the early stage of Purple Mansion. Xu Xuan had no power to resist, which made him gradually understand.

No wonder most of the immortal ways separate the seeds of cultivation from the fighting methods. I'm afraid that the most mediocre Zifu can kill a hundred or so Jindan direct descendants' foundation-building cultivators in one breath, and it will be useless even if he cultivates the sword intent.

"I will be in seclusion starting today, and Minghai will be left to you and Lu Lian to handle."

Xu Xuan looked at Yang Yuanxin with some apology. He had troubled her a lot these days. Now that he was in seclusion, he pushed Yang Yuanxin into the open and felt guilty.

"Just focus on your cultivation. I'm here, no one dares to move, so don't worry."

Yang Yuanxin's red eyes were bright. What she said was true. The day that the Shangguang Demon King left and did not return was an invisible deterrent. No Purple Mansion dared to touch her, even the Jindan Immortal Sect had to think about it.

"I feel much more at ease with you around, but I'm sorry to bother you."

After he finished speaking, Xu Xuan turned into lightning, disappeared into the dark sea, and began to retreat.

The hall was a little deserted for a moment. Yang Yuanxin stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. She grew up in the mountains and had only dealt with some clan affairs. Now she had to lead the entire sea herself, so she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.

My father was busy forming an alliance with Fei Lian and Bai Hu and rarely showed up. My brother was in seclusion trying to break through the Purple Mansion, but because of his immortal foundation, he was stuck at the Refining Demon Level.

As for the old man, even though Yang Yuanxin told Xu Xuan to rest assured, her own doubts did not diminish at all.

The Golden Crow has not had any contact with the Fire Crow for hundreds of years. Even when they went to war with the Void Spirit Palace and Lord Shang Guang was injured, they did not send anyone to inquire about him. But now they are acting quickly and calling on Lord Shang Guang to ask for gold, which makes people worried.

'The most ruthless are the imperial families.'

Yang Yuan always felt his heart beating violently. Although Emperor Zhu Ci, the eldest son of Jinwu, had the word "Ci" in his imperial title, he had rebelled with such cruel methods that shocked the world. He personally cut off the flesh and blood of his own brothers and banished them to the abyss of evil.

At the beginning, Fire Crow judged the situation and always followed the emperor, so that the inheritance was preserved. As for the Song family, they were just speculative and were later liquidated. The throne of [Tianshui] was stripped away, and all nine clans were almost ordered to be executed.

Emperor Zhu Ci has long since passed away, and the Song family is no longer the small clan they once were, but has become the Lihuo Imperial Clan. However, the power of the Golden Crow still remains, and no one dares to offend.

The sky in the hall suddenly brightened. Yang Yuanxin raised his head, his mind calmed down, and he dared not think about these old things anymore.

　I'm too busy, so the update has been pushed to the back. I really can't spare the time these days and I'm exhausted.
