Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 222 Guyue
The desert dissipated, leaving only the void.

The broken void gradually healed and stabilized, and the black and white energies of life and death gushed out and moved in rotation.

When Xu Xuan opened his eyes, he saw a dark world. All around him were black and white, with no other light. He came to his senses later and looked inside himself. His body was intact and his spirit was as usual.

Still alive, or rather, resurrected from the dead.

Large patches of mottled black and gray are entangled. Looking to the west, as far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of water and fire, surging against each other. The cold and hot energies are entangled and inseparable, and the mood of solemnity and finality slowly arises and disappears.

Xu Xuan felt that before this scene, his flesh and blood and magic power were suppressed and atrophied, and perhaps only half of his Taoist magic remained.

In the illusory water and fire is a jade platform, which is completely white and has a total of nine steps. On it are images of feathered creatures, rising clouds, riding dragons, and riding cranes. Fairy light is rising and the sound of Taoism is continuous.

"True Qi magical power, [Ascension Platform], rising in broad daylight, returning to life and death, and there is also a Taoist magical power that is Shaoyin?"

A muffled sound was heard, and Tiantuo spoke softly, as if nothing was wrong.

Just as Xu Xuan was about to ask a question, he saw a bronze sword box slowly descending from the sky. A crack had opened up, and vast energies of life and death poured out, interweaving to form this world.

A pure white figure appeared on the stage, with a round mirror condensed from clouds behind him. The bronze sword case pointed in the distance, and the thousands of feet of water and fire shattered. The jade stage gradually turned into nothingness, and the figure condensed from the pure white mysterious light also began to disintegrate.

"This is?"

Xu Xuan was confused. The scene before him was too bizarre. No matter how hard he tried to think, he could not figure it out.

A vast white light surged, and an illusory world emitting boundless pure white mysterious light slowly appeared from the horizon, connecting with this ascension platform.

Thousands of fine veins seemed to emerge from behind the pure white figure, connecting to the illusory world on the horizon. The vast energy of life and death swept over, and his figure was shattered and then restored.

Next to the bronze sword case, a cloud of white mist rose, with dripping ink in it, transforming into the two words "Yuan Gong", lifting the sword case up and temporarily closing it a little, gradually reducing its power.

"Leaving Song and Yue Jue, what a big battle."

The pure white figure spoke slowly at this time, his voice indifferent.

"King Lanshan, since you won't kill me directly, why don't you come out and see me?"

The earth trembled a little, and then a fire was seen rising from the east and spreading down. In the fire, there was a branch of a precious old tree with leaves like emerald jade. Half of the branches and leaves had been burnt and withered, and smoke was spreading.

A majestic and deep voice slowly came from the fire, and the red fire shook.

"Is it King Lingyou? Or some immortal messenger?"

"Why make such a distinction?"

Lingyou looked aside and said softly:
"I have practiced Taoism for a hundred years, and from beginning to end, my true self has remained the same."

"Who did the Liao Kingdom send? The twelve [Heavenly Sacrifice Spiritual Lights] that were attached to my body have dissipated. I think someone took them away."

From the north, an iron-gray gas surged out and transformed into a Dharma body with a beast appearance and wearing heavy black armor. When it spoke at this time, its voice was dull and a little hoarse.

"Xiao'e greets His Majesty. The Emperor has already paid his respects. The Celestial Sovereigns of the Shaoyin Realm do not wish to interfere in your affairs, so we will escort you back."

"Shaoyin in heaven does not plot against the state. I wonder whose will it is that the king descends to the mortal world this time?"

The voice of Tiehui Dharmakāya was cold and stern, but Lingyou laughed and said softly:
"So it's General Harsh. You're not in the capital, but you've come here. I'm not some banished immortal. As for who's behind this, you might as well go to the ancestral temple and take a look. You'll understand."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. The time has come. Please be on your way."

The iron-gray Dharma body and the scarlet fire dissipated at the same time, the black and white qi covered the sky and the sun, the bronze sword box opened little by little, and the two ink characters "Yuan Gong" next to it dimmed.

The illusory shadow pressed down at this time, and the two sides collided in chaos. The surging energy of life and death enveloped Xu Xuan. When he came back to his senses, neither Lingyou nor Yuan Gong could be seen.

The black and white energies seemed to settle down and gradually condense in the sky, transforming into many bird and insect seal characters, and scriptures appeared.

"The Yue Jue Sword Book is about to manifest."

There was uncontrollable excitement in Tiantuo's voice, and he reminded Xu Xuan in a low voice.

Suddenly, two people appeared in front of him: a man in a feathered robe and a woman in a crimson skirt. They were Liu Qi and Gongsun Xi.

Liu Qi's face showed a look of relief. He waved his finger and scraped off the flesh and blood with the ink words engraved on his face. Then he quickly returned to normal. From today on, he was completely free from the title of a slave.

"I'll go ahead and won't wait for you two."

Gongsun Xi was calm and composed, smiling, and a circle of silver rope appeared in her hand. She threw it upwards, and the silver rope shot straight up into the sky and disappeared into the black and white air in the sky. There were countless scriptures around it.

She held the precious rope and rose up, quickly disappearing. Liu Qi, who was standing beside her, wanted to grab the rope and follow her up to the sky, but the silver rope broke in her hand in an instant and disappeared without a trace.

Xu Xuan on the side also tried to ride the wind, but his whole body showed no reaction and he could not leap. At this time, Xu and Liu Qi were the only two people left in this area.

"You have no sword intent, so how did you get in?"

Xu Xuan's eyes were serious. The person in front of him was not proficient in swordsmanship, so he should not be chosen.

"Who knows? However, if I kill you and borrow your sword intent, I can also obtain the sword book." Liu Qi's eyes were gloomy, his feathered clothes fluttering, and his murderous intent was not concealed at all. He said in a low voice:
"Among those who have cultivated the sword spirit, you are the only one I can kill."

"Only by retrieving the sword book can I survive. Let's see who lives and who dies today."

He slowly offered a talisman that exuded a murderous aura. On it were written four ancient characters, which read [定锁止锋]. A sense of confinement emanated from it, suppressing Xu Xuan's sword intent.

"Be careful, this person is strange. This talisman is specially used to restrain swordsmanship and is exclusive to Shaoyin. I'm afraid King Lingyou has some connection with this lineage."

Tian Tuo gave a low warning. Xu Xuan looked at the other person with an unfriendly look, and murderous intent gradually rose. This person relied on this talisman to target him many times. He was also angry, but at this moment he still asked:

"Does he still have Purple Mansion skills?"

Xu Xuan asked in a low voice, but heard Tian Tuo say in a deep voice:
"There's only this one spiritual talisman. I haven't seen anything else in the Purple Mansion yet. However, this immortal base is a bit strange. Just like the spiritual protection, it seems to be connected to somewhere."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan activated the Tribulation Pool and hung it above him. The Yang Sha Yin Hun and Shen Xiao thunders turned into the sun and the moon. The remaining righteous thunder turned into a purple river in the sky, all hidden in the Thunder Pool.

A set of purple-black dragon scale armor slowly emerged from his body, with cloud and thunder patterns on it, and a sword rack behind it. It was the Thunder Armor that [Ze Guang] had refined earlier.

He activated his Zelong body, coordinated his qi and blood, climbed to the late stage, and lightly shook the Dan Thunder. The opponent saw that his swordsmanship was restrained and thought he could be bullied, so he used magic to deal with him.

White thunder and black fire rose from the sword, and a large talisman fell, evolving into a black and white sword wheel, slashing down with a bang. Liu Qi's face was gloomy, and he blocked with the silver-white sword in his hand. Countless white feathers fell, protecting him layer by layer.

The black and white sword wheel broke through layers of white feathers, and its power gradually ceased. Liu Qi picked it up with a sword, and his expression relaxed a little, but he saw two disasters of thunder and fire appearing at the same time, with thunder falling from the outside and poisonous fire from the inside.

Liu Qi's heart sank, and his expression became more serious. He pinched the magic formula, and the sound of Buxu was heard. The feathery clothes on his body glowed, and then his figure flashed and he avoided the thunder and fire.

"This feathered robe is extraordinary, as it is a method of using true Qi to escape disaster and avoid calamity."

Tiantuo's voice came from the sea of qi. Xu Xuan looked at the person in front of him. The feathered man instantly lost his lock on the Thunder and Fire Talisman Sword, giving people the feeling that it did not exist.

Liu Qi's eyes were gloomy, and he brushed his fingers across the long sword in his hand and began to make hand gestures. Then he saw cold water and dry fire surging, intersecting into one meridian, and overturning down. The two feelings of cold and dry heat alternated, and the luster of Xu Xuan's Zeguang armor instantly dimmed.

Countless white feathers appeared and slashed down with vast clouds, surrounding Xu Xuan tightly and making Ze Guang tremble wildly.

Xu Xuan held the sword in one hand and transformed thirty-six silver-white thunderbolts, which he slashed out with [Great Shock Prayer Thunder Light]. The thunderbolt light rolled and an angry sound was heard. With the other hand, he held up the thunder pool and violently turned it upside down. The thunderbolt light evolved into three scenes and poured down.

Water, fire, white feathers collided with the lightning and were completely annihilated. Only ten breaths had passed since the two men fought. Xu Xuan activated the [Jade Blood Heart] and slowly recovered his magic power.

Liu Qi, however, looked as usual, and attacked again without stopping. His magic power showed no sign of weakening, and his magic became more and more powerful, using all kinds of techniques.

The thick, dark yellow earth energy surged out, and the light of Gen earth shone, forming a canopy that hung above Liu Qi. Then came the wailing sounds of witches and ghosts, and black spells condensed into clouds that surrounded his body.

The power of Bai Yu, Shui Huo increased again, each one was comparable to a full-strength attack from the late stage of foundation building. The thunder pool in Xu Xuan's hand exploded, and vast lightning rushed down, confronting the opponent's various spells.

Liu Qi's magic power seemed to be endless. He kept casting various spells to suppress Xu Xuan's thunder pool.

"What's with this guy's magical powers?"

Xu Xuan was puzzled. The other party had so many methods and profound magical powers that it was almost impossible for someone at the Foundation Establishment stage to achieve this. What's more, this person cultivated True Qi, so how could he use so many other Taoist techniques?

Liu Qi's eyes were cold at this time. He shouted softly, and the images of the sun, moon and stars appeared. They gradually merged and condensed into one, turning into a pure white mysterious light, and the surrounding void collapsed and merged.

"【Tai Su Hua Jing Dao Guang】, how could this person know this magic? Retreat quickly!"

Tiantuo roared. Xu Xuan had also seen Tiantuo use this method. It was extremely mysterious and far exceeded any magic he had seen. Now it was manifested in the hands of a foundation-building cultivator, which made him a little dazed.

Xu Xuan activated the Thunder Armor, but he could not escape from this place. Liu Qi's pure white light had already hit him, and Yan Dao Taixu was shattered into pieces, with a power comparable to that of a sword.

Lei Chi stepped forward to block it, and Xu Xuan, seeing that there was no escape, turned around and slashed out with a black and white sword wheel to collide with the mysterious light.

The silver-white calamity pool shattered into pieces, and the sword wheel transformed from thunder and fire dissolved in an instant. The mysterious light rushed over and broke the thunder armor in an instant, and all the flesh and blood on Xu Xuan's body was immediately dissolved.

"No, it's not the real Taisu Light, it's just an imitation, otherwise you would be seriously injured right now."

Tiantuo spoke softly, and Xu Xuan urged his blood and energy to slowly repair his injuries.

At this moment, many words in the sky changed, and a sword intent that could change life and death emerged. The sword-locking talisman that Liu Qi had sacrificed suddenly dimmed.

Xu Xuan felt that the sword intent had returned and could be used again, so he drew his sword immediately and activated the Heart Pool of Tribulation again. The surging thunder poured down, and the thunder of tribulation turned into a fairy guillotine, a heavenly prison, and a code of law, suppressing Liu Qi.

The situation changed, Liu Qi's face changed, the Dharma light rushed over again, Xu Xuan slashed Dan Ting, the vast sword light fell, and the pure white Dharma light was split in an instant, and the sword intent emitting the breath of punishment surrounded it.

The sword intent of life and death in the sky was no longer visible at this time, and the sword-locking talisman exerted its power again. The strange vision created by Xu Xuan with the sword intent and thunder magic disappeared in an instant, and the pure white light in Liu Qi's hand surged and hit his heart.

In the sea of qi, the sword box in the cave felt something and began to vibrate wildly, sensing the connection with the sword above. Xu Xuan focused his mind and activated the sword box, sensing the sword intent in the sky.

In the sea of qi, the two energies of life and death converged, as if they came from the same source as the black and white energies outside the sword box. At this time, they poured into it, and the name of the sword intent slowly emerged from the box.

[Xuanpin Life and Death Sword].
