Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 229 Sword Pool
inside the vessel.

The Yangyang furnace opened, and Wen Guang crawled out of it, with a flattering face, and said in a low voice:

"Master, you have arrived. I was wondering why the weather is so clear and bright today. Even the evil energy of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner has subsided a lot."

"Dan Ting, Dan Ting? Dan Ting! Come out quickly, the Sect Master is here, why are you hiding?"

Wen Guang looked into the furnace and called out repeatedly, then he saw the sword spirit fly out of the furnace, turning into a thunder bird, chirping, and landed on Xu Xuan's shoulder, its purple eyes bright and innocent.

Wen Guang below was speechless. Apart from being unable to speak, Dan Ting's intelligence was no different from that of an ordinary person. Yet, he actually took the initiative to show goodwill. His spiritual power was so abundant that it was comparable to that of a purple mansion spiritual weapon.

Xu Xuan flicked Dan Ting off his shoulder with a curved finger. The thunderbird cried mournfully and lay on the ground, motionless.

Wen Guang smiled and said softly:

"Master, this soul flag was originally intended to be suppressed in the Sword Pavilion on Baiwei Peak. It was Chengyan's idea. I tried to stop him several times, but failed. I was forced to do so."

"These items are stained with demonic energy and should be destroyed. Cheng Yan said that they should be used for refining, so..."

Cheng Yan, who was standing aside, was sweating coldly at this moment, his eyes were wide open. He was born smart and handsome, with the same appearance as Shen Shu's portrait, except that his eyes were like Wang Xiwei and Wang Qiyun, very big, and when he stared, they were like stars.

Xu Xuan waved his hand and took the soul flag. The flag was about half a person's height, black in color, and triangular in shape. Six flag tails fluttered slowly, and blood and demonic energy surged.

Xu Xuan has released all the souls, but only some of them can return to their bodies, and most of them dissipated with the wind. This banner is notorious and is almost synonymous with the devil.

Of course, although the Wu family calls themselves the devil, they are actually practicing Qi, and their origins can be traced back to ancient times, which is more noble than ordinary immortal ways.

The quality of this banner is quite good among the ancient magic tools. Xu Xuan estimated that it is probably only slightly inferior to [Xi Yan] and [Sun and Moon Twin Scenes]. If there are enough souls in it, its power will continue to increase.

However, this method is against the harmony of nature, so Xu Xuan is unwilling to use it. He wants to kill the enemy with one sword. This kind of torture of the soul and treating people as tools is not in line with his swordsmanship.

The few magical instruments left by Ci Hai were all imbued with the aura of the Heavenly Demon. If ordinary cultivators used them, they would easily suffer backlash. When Wang Chengyan took out the magical instruments, Xu Xuan was really a little angry. He stared at them and said in a deep voice:

"Chengyan, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Wang Chengyan seemed nervous, glanced at Wen Guang, and said softly:
"Bring me that sword."

Wen Guang understood and immediately took out a long sword. The handle of the sword was shaped like a red lotus, spewing out bright red and purple-black fire, which condensed and did not dissipate, turning into a narrow blade.

"Uncle Master, please look."

He changed his address. Xu Xuan sighed and, for the sake of Senior Brother Qiyun, he didn't deal with this junior for the time being. He took the fire knife and looked at it carefully.

"It's the Karma Fire Ring Blade used by Ci Hai, but now it has a different appearance."

Xu Xuan held it and sensed it silently. The demonic energy in the sword was restrained and turned into an illusory colorful treasure, hidden in the center of the fire blade, and did not dissipate.

He swung his sword and saw a red light falling, accompanied by the roars of demons and ghosts, and the fire of karma burned, with a terrifying power.

"How did you achieve this?"

Xu Xuan was a little frightened. The evil spirit was difficult to get rid of. He had tried to cut it with sword intent before, but it would destroy the magic weapon, so he had to give up.

Now this fire knife still has demonic energy in it, but it has been condensed into a demon seed, not dissipating at all, and can be used against the enemy. After being re-refined, the fire knife has reached the level of an ancient magic weapon.

Wang Chengyan saw that the Sect Master was making a move, and his heart relaxed a little. He said softly:

"I consulted the Lotus Temple's scriptures and found a method for refining Buddhist treasures. It uses the power of will. When you concentrate it, it produces a seed of will, which then produces miraculous effects. After reading it, I felt that will and demons are both empty thoughts, and their natures are similar."

"So, through Wen Guang's methods, the demonic energy in the magic weapon was condensed into demonic seeds, which condensed and did not disperse. The main body of this fire knife is made of [Red Lotus Karma Fire] mixed with demonic energy, supplemented by several precious irons."

"Now, I will condense all the demonic energy within it, and then refine it with the newly acquired [Minor Netherworld Poison Fire], blending it with the power of warm light to form this sword. With one strike, it will draw forth karmic fire and ghostly flames to burn the body, defile the spirit and shake the soul."

Xu Xuan's heart moved, and he asked about Tiantuo first.

"Is there any harm in doing this?"

"Of course there are harms. This magical weapon is powerful enough. It's not like no one has thought of using the method of the Heavenly Demon. Some even used the Heavenly Demon as a weapon spirit to refine an incarnation, but they all abandoned it later."

"Why?"

"If it erupts, the harm will be enormous, especially for a magical instrument that is so vital. If the internal formations and physical properties are damaged and demonic energy enters the body, it will be no joke."

"There is no hierarchy among the demons. If one's mind is corrupted, they will emerge endlessly from the void."

"In that case, this magic knife is useless, isn't it?"

"No, you have seal script, so you are not afraid." Tian Tuo said in a low voice:

"I previously opened a demon crossing in your body. The pure energy there can suppress the demonic nature. With the seal characters here, these things are nothing to be afraid of."

"Since you have a magical weapon, why not use it? Find someone who is suitable and let him take it. If the situation is really critical, you can also self-destruct to lure the demon out of trouble."

Xu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he temporarily gave the fire knife to Wang Chengyan, explaining the pros and cons. He only allowed him and Wen Guang to touch these magic weapons, and no one else was allowed to touch them.

"How are you going to refine this Ten Thousand Souls Banner now? Let me make it clear that capturing human souls is taboo."

Looking at the big banner in his hand, Xu Xuan was somewhat tempted. If he could refine it again, it would definitely be an excellent magic weapon.

Cheng Yan was about to speak when Wen Guang came from behind, with a Thunderbird perched on his head. The Fire Child said in a low voice:
"Master, Fayan Zhenchuan came here a while ago and wanted to refine a talisman pen. When he saw this banner, he liked it very much. If you let him take it, I will refine it according to the Yuntu Miaodao."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan made up his mind that it would be appropriate to let Fayan hold the banner, but its function needed to be changed. He couldn't continue to collect souls.

"Tell me, if you let him hold it, how are you going to refine it?"

Wen Guang had already rushed in front of Cheng Yan with an expression of wanting to take credit, which made the young man in white robe behind him feel helpless.

"I've already thought about it. Yuntu has the nature of gathering bones and collecting souls. The Soul Banner method is the result of the combination of Daiqi and Wenyou. Both are close to Yuntu."

"So we came up with a compromise. We refined a few Zhouchen spiritual objects and, following the recipe for mustard seeds, expanded the space. We then used the method of containing earth to hide living creatures. While its power was significantly reduced, it was much more legitimate and could capture poisonous insects, demons, talisman weapons, and so on."

Xu Xuan nodded slightly and said:
"First, practice according to this method. Fayan is about to establish his foundation. He is not good at swordsmanship, so magic weapons are a problem. This banner will be prepared for him."

After speaking, Xu Xuan pondered for a while and said softly:
"Remember, you have to refine it normally. It's best if it's a righteous magical weapon or a secret treasure of the immortal family. Don't let others see that it's the Ten Thousand Souls Banner at a glance."

Wen Guang smiled knowingly. Then he looked outside and saw a flaming crane. He was a little surprised and said softly:
"It's Liaozai Crane. Where did this fire spirit come from?"

Xu Xuan waved his hand, letting Yanyu in. The Fire Crane retracted its body and entered. Seeing Wen Guang, it suddenly trembled and whispered:
"I've met my lord."

"Bah, what sir? If you call me that, where does that put the headmaster?"

Wen Guang became anxious and quickly stopped Yan Yu. He had been staying on Huangqi Peak and this was the first time he saw this fire crane. He didn't know that it didn't know the rules.

Xu Xuan smiled and told Wen Guang the origin of Yan Yu, and asked this Fire Crane to help in the forging room in the future. After all, it was a fire spirit of the sixth level of Qi Refining, similar to Jiao and Wen Guang, both of whom were spiritual beings inspired by true fire.

Now Xu Xuan has found out that the Earth Fire Wu Yuan Tree is the true fire spiritual root. Liao Zai is one of the three messengers of Bifang, but he is close to Ding Fire. No one knows why.

After these things were settled, Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Dan Ting.

"Danting, why don't you show your true form?"

There was a hint of embarrassment in the eyes of the Thunder Bird at this moment. It unwillingly transformed into a Thunder Peng and fell into the furnace. Then a gray magic sword appeared, and the lightning and sword lights intertwined.

Below Dan Ting, there was a silver-white thunder pool, on which were carved images of heavenly soldiers and generals, Lei Gong and Dian Mu, blue bird spirit dragon, thunder ghost and electric snake, etc. It was complex and ancient, with yin and yang lights inside, one was Shengjin Yanghua, the other was Taiyin Hanhui, which were harmoniously integrated.

"Well, Master, I have worked hard."

Xu Xuan summoned the magic sword and the thunder pool. He felt something in his heart. This thunder pool vaguely resonated with his immortal base. It was exactly the image of the [Calamity Pool]. The aura left by Qing'e and Wushizhi's fight in the past had merged into one, as if it were one, and the magic was born naturally.

Dan Ting returned to the Thunder Pool and merged with the lightning. The sword intent in the pool was fierce, and the various colored thunders turned into heavenly swords, surging continuously with terrifying power.

"This is?"

He looked at Wen Guang and felt that Dan Ting and this thunder pool were like one. Once they were integrated into the pool, each bolt of lightning could turn into a heavenly sword. Xu Xuan controlled it as if it were a slash with Dan Ting.

If one exerts all his strength, the sword light will fall like rain, and thousands of thunder swords will come out at the same time, all with the power of Dan Ting's slashing.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, when you brought this magic sword back, it was impacted by the aura of the Purple Mansion, and it produced two spiritual lights. One is the [Qian Yang Zheng Guang] of Shengjin, and the other is the [Guang Han Yuhui] of Taiyin. They are fighting and entangled with each other, making it extremely difficult to recast."

Speaking of this, Wen Guang's face showed some pride, and he continued:
"So I changed my method and used the twelve spiritual objects in our sect, including the [Huangqi Ze Stone] and [Wuwei Platinum], and the [Taiyue Sacrificial Soil] that the Sect Master had given me earlier as the core to create a Thunder Pool."

"I smelted the Danting and melted it into the pool. I controlled the thunder and transformed it into a sword. Now there are six thunderbolts in the pool. The master can manifest them at will. He can use as many magic swords as he wants."

Xu Xuan looked towards the thunder pool, and with a thought, a silver-white long sword appeared, with [Fixing Soul Tribulation Light] as its main component. The intention of tribulation and punishment spread out in all directions, and the laws of law lingered around.

The rest of the thunder gathered and dispersed, and the Dan Thunder sometimes merged into one, and sometimes became six, moving as it pleased. Especially after it merged into one, its power was far greater than before. The sword body turned dark black, the Sky Peng flapped its wings, and wind and thunder raged.

Xu Xuan's mind moved again, and with the two thunders of Zhenshe as the command, they turned into two magic swords, black and white, and Danting turned into a sword pool. He could change the swords at will, and there was no need to create the two swords of life and death.

The black and white flying swords moved slowly, and Xu Xuan was very satisfied. Now there was only one problem that troubled him, how should he seek the little hope of life after the thunder was extinguished?
