Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 226: Seeing the Monument
cloud.

The golden clouds spread out, the water in the Kan River overflowed, and the stubborn lion returned at this time, accompanied by a young Taoist priest, who was wearing a neat blue robe, with a thin face, bright eyes, and a deep look.

This person is Yingliu Taoist, the current eldest brother of Guishou Peak. He is already in the late stage of foundation building and has strong magical powers. Seeing Xu Xuan beside Lu Guanhe, his eyes moved slightly and he said calmly:

"Junior brother has returned. I believe he has retrieved the [Qianjin Military Manual]?"

"Nothing went wrong, and it was retrieved safely."

Ying Liu was just asking and didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer. He turned to look at Xu Xuan without saying a word. After taking a look, he saw the man in the dark Taoist robe with the pattern of red bird flames and clouds, and his eyes shifted.

"Is this the abbot of Dachi Monastery, Fellow Daoist Xu Xuan?"

"Exactly."

Xu Xuanqi had just left Shengyun Peak. Stimulated by the sword energy in the mountains, the sword intent in his body was faintly dissipated, very sharp, and his pupils appeared slightly silver-white.

"Since you are a sword immortal, you can naturally go to the Shengyuan Monument."

Ying Liu looked at Lu Guan, nodded slightly, and said:

"However, it just so happens that our peak's Immortal Master has gone to the West Sea to visit friends, and we don't know when he will return. I'm afraid we can only ask Immortal Master Qingyue to open the Immortal Monument."

"He just returned from killing monsters in southern Xinjiang. You can go and ask him."

Ying Liu hesitated for a moment and said softly:
"When will Immortal No Doubt return to the mountain? If he comes, I believe the immortal tablet will be easily opened."

"My father has now obtained the [Qianjin Military Book] and wants to cultivate his supernatural powers. He has temporarily borrowed Taizhen's Yangjin Extreme Land to cultivate. It is not advisable for him to return to the mountain."

When Lu Guan talked about this, his voice became colder, but Ying Liu sighed and said:

"[Dui Yuantian] recently sent his magical power down, hoping to see the True Man Wuzhi. He waited for a long time, but now he has returned."

"My father is aware of this matter, but he is busy with other things and rarely sees me."

Lu Guan shook his head slightly, looked at the stream below the peak where golden energy was gushing out and sword light was shining, and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will go find Master Qingyue first to see about the monument opening. I will visit you later."

Yingliu just smiled, said nothing more, and turned to head towards Guishou Peak.

Xu Xuan was listening at the side, but he felt that the veins of Taiping Mountain Gate seemed a little complicated. When Ying Liu and Lu Guan mentioned the person who came from Dui Yuantian, their expressions became a little cold and unnatural.

"Friend Xu, this monument requires divine power to open. Since Immortal Chan Wei is not here, we have no choice but to seek Immortal Qing Yue. Would you be willing to go?"

"Of course it's fine, you can also see more of the magical power."

Xu Xuan smiled, thinking about what Lu Guan had said before, but felt a little confused. He said that Taiping Mountain used this immortal tablet to clarify the sword veins and determine the source, which should be a matter of one sect. But now it seems that the only one who really cares about it is the lineage of Master Wuzhi.

Lu Guan looked at the platinum cloud beside him and shouted softly. The stubborn lion leaped up, shook its body, and grew against the wind. It became as big as a hill and landed beside the two of them.

Lu Guan went up, looked at Xu Xuan, and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist, please come up. True Man Qingyue's residence is filled with golden evil winds, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach. Only by riding this stubborn lion can you avoid some physical pain."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan rode the wind and flew up. The golden lion had a broad body. The two men were standing on its back, with platinum clouds surging around them. Xu Xuan felt that the golden lion had no flesh and blood, but rather looked like a golden essence.

Seeing Xu Xuan's confusion, Lu Guan smiled and said:
"The stubborn lion is a creature from the [Cloud-Crushing Sky Gold] mine. Its nature is stronger than gold. It was accepted by my great grandfather and later received the secret enlightenment of the Taoist Master Rusu of Tifeng Mountain. It has become what it is today."

"I see."

But when mentioning this Immortal, Xu Xuan began to feel some doubts. He didn't know the origin of the Immortal's help in obtaining the "Xiao Yao You" and he immediately asked:

"I wonder what level of cultivation this Rusu Master has? The Tibetan Gold Dao is rare."

Hearing this, Lu Guan seemed to be in the mood to talk and thought for a while:
"This Immortal's whereabouts are mysterious, and as for his cultivation level, ordinary people don't know, but he shouldn't be in the late Purple Mansion stage, and should be between the second and third supernatural powers."

"The Tantai family was the commander of the Qi State Armory, responsible for storing weapons, and therefore practiced the art of storage. Back when Dali replaced Qi, this family joined the Qi State early. Coincidentally, the armory was abolished, and they lost their positions. So they turned to the path of immortality and entered the Tianshui Blessed Land to practice."

"This Purple Mansion, which existed a hundred years ago, was destroyed by the Liao people. According to the rules, if there is no supernatural power in charge, they must move out of the blessed land."

Speaking of this, Lu Guan sighed. After all, it is a blessed land in Tianshui, and it is no worse than the sacred land in Taiping Mountain.

"So, this True Man Rusu is the Taoist seed of the Tantai family, who achieved supernatural powers in times of crisis and revived the inheritance?" Xu Xuan asked softly, seemingly thinking about something.

"No." Lu Guan shook his head, platinum clouds flowing around him. "This immortal is not from the Tantai family, but a set of armor in the Great Qi Spiritual Treasury that has spiritual power and has achieved supernatural powers."

"This armor broke through the formation on its own and was struck by thirty-six heavenly thunders, instantly achieving supernatural powers. True Lord [Yingli] personally issued an order allowing it to enter the cave heaven once. From then on, Tifeng Mountain had another True Lord Rusu."

When Xu Xuan heard this, his doubts grew even stronger, and he said:

"I wonder what the origin of this armor is?"

"It's been so long that no one knows about it. However, the Tantai family must know about it. After all, they have guarded this armor in the Qi Palace for generations."

Xu Xuan temporarily suppressed his doubts. Tifeng Mountain seemed to have some connection with his family, but it was not the Tantai family, but this True Man Rusu. If he wanted to understand it clearly, he would probably have to know the origin of this armor.

"Come to think of it, the True Lord [Yingli] that Daoist friend mentioned earlier, is that Li Taizu?"

When Lu Guan saw Xu Xuan asking about this, he smiled and said:
"That's right. He couldn't call himself the emperor, so he issued a decree for the immortals to be called the True Lord. When Dali gained the kingdom, many of the immortals contributed to it. This True Lord said, 'I have gained the world and will rule it together with the other immortals. This is the True Lord.'"

"During the Qi Dynasty, the Central Plains had not yet been unified, and the Qi Emperor was only at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm. At that time, several kingdoms coexisted, and both immortals and mortals were in chaos. When Taizu destroyed Qi, he was still at the Purple Mansion realm, and he swept through Wu and Yue, annihilated Liang and Chu, and achieved the Lihuo realm."

"Since Feng's death, a thousand years have passed, and finally a Jindan has become emperor and re-established the country."

Xu Xuan was surprised to see that Lu Guan highly respected this True Lord.

"It seems that this True Lord Lihuo is indeed a first-class figure in the world, who can restore order and pacify the chaotic world." The surging golden evil spirit in front of them interrupted their conversation. A steep and isolated peak appeared before them. There was no grass or trees on the peak. The mottled golden evil spirit enveloped half of the peak. A cold and fierce wind blew like a thousand swords.

At this time, the stubborn lion urged the platinum clouds beside him, and the vigorous and endless energy enveloped them. The platinum clouds condensed into thick golden walls, protecting the two of them.

Xu Xuan silently felt that every golden evil and strong wind on the edge of the peak had the power of a foundation-building attack. Hundreds of them fell, and it would be quite troublesome even for him to break through. Ordinary foundation-building cultivators couldn't even think of getting close.

The stubborn lion walked very slowly, heading towards the isolated peak little by little. Xu Xuan silently felt the aura of this place. Unlike the previous Shengyun Peak, the golden energy here was more violent, corroding the rocks and soil beyond recognition.

"I wonder how many supernatural powers are in charge of your mountain?"

Xu Xuan was curious. After seeing him today, it seemed that Master Qingyue was the only one left in Taiping Mountain.

"Among the four Purple Mansions of Taiping Mountain, excluding my great-grandfather, Master Chanwei is a recent breakthrough. The remaining two are practicing Duijin, Master Qingjing is at the peak of Purple Mansion, and Master Qingyue is at the middle stage."

"Great Master Qing Jing cultivates in the cave all year round and rarely goes to the mountains, so the ones in charge are my grandfather and this Master Qing Yue."

As they were talking, the stubborn lion had reached the top of the mountain. Lu Guan let the golden lion leave and walked to the top of the mountain with Xu Xuan.

On the dark brown and ferocious rocks, a magnificent palace stands in the air, which is seven rooms wide. It is silver-white in color, with rolling golden tiles and a mighty strong wind as the base. On the solemn gate made of gold and iron are two images of a golden roc crossing the sea and a precious cicada flapping its wings.

Lu Guan stood outside the palace gate and said in a low, respectful voice:

"Lü Guan from Shengyun Peak and Xu Xuan, the Great Red, have come to pay their respects to Master Qingyue."

There was silence behind the palace door, no response, as if there was no one inside. After a while, a leisurely voice was heard from the palace.

"This kid Chan Wei is really trying to make things difficult for me. He visits his friends and asks me to do things for him."

Lu Guan listened silently without saying a word. He naturally understood what Master Chanwei meant. Visiting a friend was not a big deal, and his grandfather had already informed him before. Even so, the Master still left. It seemed that he did not want to get involved in this matter.

"After all, it involves Feng Xuan and is related to the Fuchen Sect."

While waiting, he heard the voice from the hall again, sighed, and said:

"Come in."

Lu Guan looked at Xu Xuan and gave a slight gesture, and the two of them entered the hall together. After entering the hall and looking inside, they saw a man in a snow-white robe sitting on the main seat. His hair was like black clouds, his temples were like knife-cut hair, and his eyes were slightly open, like a deep pool, showing no emotion.

"I've seen a real person."

Lu Guan and Xu Xuan saluted together. Zhenren Qingyue responded indifferently and looked at Lu Guan. The golden wind surging in the hall stopped immediately.

"Since it was Brother Wuzhi who asked me to do so, I will naturally open it. However, have you explained the purpose of the Shengyuan Monument to this person?"

"This"

Lu Guan hesitated a little and said:
"It is used to identify the sword veins and also to prove that he is not Feng Xuan's descendant. This is to let the other families know so as to avoid further disputes."

Qing Yue slowly shook his head, stood up, and stood with his hands behind his back.

"The Shengyuan Stele was handed down from Dongtian. The ancestor found it in the Sword Abyss, but it has more than just this use. Once you are enshrined in it, you can know the sword veins before and after, and you can sense it in Daluo. We want to clarify the sword path, but not everyone who has cultivated the sword intent can be included."

"Feng Xuan, Jie Fa, no matter which side it is, once there are still remnants, connecting with the sword intent is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, being a little confused is a good thing."

"When Wen Fufeng came here, he had already verified that Hengguang was not responsive. Now he has his disciple come again. Even if it is not Fengxuan, and he is involved with the Thunder Palace, if there is really any big figure in the sword lineage still alive, it will not be a good thing."

As he spoke, Qing Yue's eyes, like a cold pond, looked at Xu Xuan. Golden evil rolled around him. He said softly:

"You are Wen Fufeng's disciple, right? Do you know how he died?"

Xu Xuan slowly raised his head, his eyes calm and without any abnormality, and replied in a deep voice:

"The Immortal Sect issued an order to kill him."

Qing Yue's arrogance suddenly dissipated, his eyes became clearer, and he smiled:
"In that case, let's go to the Shengyuan Monument and see which sword lineage you belong to."

He laughed loudly, breaking through the void, and a golden wind came, instantly engulfing Xu Xuan and Lu Guanguo, and they fled away in a flash.

In the misty sky, a celestial monument about a hundred feet high stands tall. The body of the monument is white, as if carved from jade, emitting thousands of layers of bright light. The place is filled with fierce sword energy, which repeatedly cuts the sky apart, and all that can be seen is a scene of destruction.

The base and top of the monument are locked by the vast golden energy. There are many sword intentions on it, which are divided into various shapes.

Xu Xuan looked far away and saw that at the highest point was a sword intent that was intertwined with black and white, and the changes of life and death. It was exactly Yue Jue. This sword vein had no inheritance and was isolated, different from the other ones.

Some names were hidden and could not be seen clearly. Xu Xuan glanced over and saw the Feng Xuan lineage. The dark green energy was surging, and the unrestrained sword intent was vast and surging. There were only two lines below, [Hengguang] and [Chongyang].

He looked to the side and saw that next to Fengxuan were the Xiyuan and Taishi lineages. There was only one person under Taishi, Yuhua.

Below Xi Yuan were three honorific names, all covered by golden aura and hard to see clearly. Xu Xuan originally thought that the Undoubted Sword Immortal was among them, but he saw the word "Undoubted" under the inheritance of "Pure Yang" on the side.

As for [Tianshu], it only opened one path, accompanied by pure golden lightning, which was dazzling.

"Use the sword's will and cut it off, and I will know which path you belong to."

Xu Xuan let out a light breath, and Dan Ting was damaged. He put his fingers together to make a sword, and silver-white lightning gathered at his fingertips. Thunder erupted, and the sword light extended like a fairy guillotine. Below, the blood of various creatures flowed out from the void.

A sword slashed towards the heavenly monument, and the sword intent carrying the breath of punishment surged out and landed on the monument.

The name of the sword [Bijie] slowly appeared and extended upwards. Purple and white lightning intertwined, slowly outlining a name.
