Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 235 Sword Hidden
In Chiming Mansion.

Xu Xuan was a little dazed. When he came to his senses, he wanted to tell Tiantuo what he had seen before in his mind, but he couldn't say it out loud no matter what. Even if he wanted to express it in words, he still couldn't.

"That person only told me, is this a legacy method, or is the True Lord still there, hiding it from view?"

Xu Xuan's mind raced. It would be best if he could discuss this matter with Tiantuo. He was knowledgeable and should be able to see some clues, but he couldn't say anything now.

[Hengguang] is an honorable position, formed by the meeting of "Bing Fire" and "Sun". It is the key to the connection of the Taoist tradition. If you advance, you can ascend to the Bing Fire position, and if you retreat, you can transfer to the Sun position.

Recalling [Hengguang], Xu Xuan thought of the Shangguang Demon King, who went to Yanggu to seek this position. If there was someone in the position, wouldn't he be seeking his own death?

"Golden Crow has a True Lord of the Sun Path, so he should be able to see the situation, but that True Lord Hengguang is not an ordinary Golden Elixir. This matter..."

How did Zhenjun Hengguang, a sword immortal, a founder of the Xuanqi Taoist school, and even the third-generation master of Fengxuan Palace, fall?

The previous two generations of Palace Masters must have also been at the first level of the Golden Core Realm. What were their identities? Were these two still alive when Hengguang passed away?
Since it is the Fengxuan Sword Lineage, there must be a True Lord of Sword Dao. Since it is called Fengxuan Palace, it must be this person who founded it. Then who is the second generation Palace Master? There is still no news about it.

Xu Xuan only felt that these old events were shrouded in a layer of fog. He could occasionally glimpse a few shadows in the fog, but he could never see the whole picture clearly.

The Kingdom of Shu was established a long time ago. Although it was not unified, it could be considered a Jindan Immortal Dynasty. It was probably founded before the reign of Emperor Feng of Xia. At that time, Fengxuan Palace was still there, and the two immortals Chi Ming and Yao Kong were ordered to go down the mountain to help unify the country.

After the fall of Shu and the death of the two Immortals, Hengguang showed no signs of taking action. I think Fengxuan Palace had already disappeared by then.

Shu was destroyed by a group of monsters. If you think about it carefully, there are many doubts. Even though Shu was a small country and not as unified as Zhou and Xia, which was a true heavenly dynasty, it still had several golden elixirs in charge.

Emperor Wu Tu, Divine Thunder Xuanshu, and Huodu Yuanwu, these three lineages have been confirmed to be in Shu. With these three true masters of the fruit position, even the dragon race would find it difficult to conquer Shu, let alone the other monsters?
Xuanshu Immortal Sect perished due to the disaster left by the underworld. According to Tiantuo, the underworld should be broken and difficult to interfere with the human world now. However, they directly attacked the cave heaven and caused the death of Xuanshu Zhenjun.

Which force is responsible? It can’t be the underworld, right?

Xu Xuan was extremely confused. This matter naturally had nothing to do with the current Li Song. At that time, the Song family was still in Tianshui, which was a purple mansion fairy clan. Although they were planning Wu Tu now, the demise of Shu would not fall on the Song family.

He calmed down and slowly let go, letting the ashes created by the jade tablet in his hand dissipate.

After leaving the Qihai Pavilion, the preciousness of this treasure pavilion lies in the various light balls that gather energy, which require the support of the Zifu formation. Even if they are taken out now, they cannot be used.

There was misty white air around him, and the white jade under his feet was transparent. There were golden rays of light on the roof of the palace. Xu Xuan continued to walk inside and saw two large halls, one black and one white, named [Stop the Devil] and [Seek the Truth]. They had collapsed, leaving only a few broken bricks and tiles.

Xu Xuan searched for a long time before he found the plaque with the name of the temple inscribed on it. The spirituality in it had been sucked away and turned into an ordinary object.

"What a pity! The Dai Qi uses the devil to refine the heart, while the Zhen Qi seeks the truth and sees the nature. The methods used are extraordinary. To be able to open these two halls for disciples, I think the requirements for the sect's style and character are extremely high."

When Tiantuo's voice sounded, Xu Xuan just sighed. He felt a headache just thinking about it. If he really achieved the Purple Palace, how would he get the things back in the palace? This would be a difficult task.

Even though Wan Jin had said that some immortal sects would return spiritual objects, it would probably be a minority. Xu Xuan was heartbroken. All the properties in the sect now were probably only worth a fraction of what Yizhu had stored.

The white mist in front seemed to dissipate a lot, revealing a sky bridge, about a hundred feet high, going upwards, with rainbows surging below.

Walking along the bridge and reaching the top, there was a broken void in front of him, with golden red light shining brightly. Xu Xuan looked forward and saw a Yang Sui as huge as a mountain, with many residual spiritual fire auras on it, like hundreds of rivers flowing back to the core.

At the core of Yang Sui, there is a pure light, falling from an infinite height. It is not a spiritual object, but the remnant of something, engraved in the void, like a full sun, causing the Hengguang Sword to ring incessantly, as if weeping and complaining.

"This is the [Heavenly Fire Mu Ji Ming Jing], the location of the fire vein in the palace. All the Bing fire in the world is contained in it, and the Zhen and Li fires follow it. The [Eternal Bright Zun Guang Xuan Yan] and [True One Treasure Combined Refining Fire] that Wen Guang mentioned are taken from this Ming Jing."

"What is this light at the core?"

Xu Xuan was confused and asked Tiantuo. He couldn't figure out what kind of spiritual fire this was. If it was eternal, always bright and self-luminous, there would be no need to burn external objects.

"It is the Golden Elixir Spirit Fire, corresponding to the image of the bright Bing Fire. Now it has been taken away, but the light still remains here, always shining."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan was even more surprised, but also felt a little emotional. These core items had been taken away. It seemed that there was indeed no one in the mansion. Along the way, he saw many traces of remaining magical powers. Although Taizhen Sect had dealt with them once, it was not difficult to imagine how chaotic this place was back then.

An inexplicable emotion gradually surged in his heart. He glanced around and saw several torn black Taoist robes with flaming clouds and red fruits on them. The people inside had long since turned to ashes.

Xu Xuan summoned these robes and put them away for the time being, preparing to find a time to bury them. After all, they were his ancestors. Moreover, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but think of the scene when the monster attacked from Yuliu and the door was stained with blood.

"It's exactly the same. What happened yesterday will happen again today." He grasped Hengguang, feeling the pulse of the magic sword. Their auras connected, and their power was self-generated. At this time, the Danting Thunder Bird on his shoulder also fell silent, perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was not right, and dared not move.

Xu Xuan felt that the mansion was shaking. With the help of Tiantuo's secret technique, he discovered that the golden wind outside was changing at this time, only supporting part of the mansion. The road in front of Xu Xuan changed, and only one road remained.

His eyes were focused, and his mind turned. He understood what the Master Wanjin meant. He let him into the mansion this time, probably to let him go to the front.

The road behind him was blocked at this moment, and Xu Xuan had no other choice but to move forward.

The sound of the Hengguang Sword became more and more exciting, and Xu Xuan's sword intent emerged on its own, covering it. The white mist in front dissipated, and the dense sword light was like the sea, connecting with the Taixu and extending out.

Xu Xuan silently flipped through the text of Xiaoyaoyou. This scripture has no name, or rather its name is "Xiaoyaoyou". The method of practice is similar to today's inner alchemy tradition, but also different.

From Qi Refining to Golden Elixir, this is the only way to practice. There is no need to seek other methods. [Xiao Yao You] is the main method. It is necessary to practice many different Taoist methods, including Yin and Yang, water and fire. There is no distinction between the Taoist traditions. They are all unified by the sword intent.

This set of skills continues until the breakthrough of the Purple Palace, but there are no chapters after that.

Xu Xuan obtained the "Taishang Fengxuan Book" from the Taiqing Taoist Realm. It already had the Fengxuan Palace Taoist Canon, but it needed pure energy to unlock it. Xiaoyaoyou was naturally included in it. Now he got this scripture from the Yuejue Sword Vein, but he just saved some pure energy.

"This area is the [Xiaoyao Jianxing Xuanjing], where the sword spirits of the Fengxuan Palace from past generations were originally engraved, but now they have all been taken away."

Xu Xuan held Hengguang tightly, but saw something swimming in the vast sea of sword light. It was as big as a mountain and hidden in the sea. He looked closely and felt that it was extremely blurry, like some kind of black whale.

This thing rose up, broke through the sea of swords, and turned into a roc. It grew taller against the wind, and with a flap of its wings, it covered the blue sky. It circled twice, stirring up the void and causing it to vibrate continuously.

The scales shook across the sea, striking the water three thousand times, turning into feathers and hanging down from the sky, gathering the wind ninety thousand times, everything happened in a flash, the strange phenomenon dissipated, Xu Xuan came back to his senses, and looked at the sea of swords again, it was calm, and Tiantuo did not notice the strange phenomenon at all.

"What kind of creature is this, with scales and feathers?"

Xu Xuan was about to ask Tiantuo, but he saw Hengguang flying away on his own. Light surged on the mirror-like sword, stirring up the entire sea of swords and revealing a virtual scene.

In the middle of the scene was a cave, with starlight surging around it, the void shattered, and the starlight in front of the cave condensed into two words, [Yaokong]. When Xu Xuan saw it, he understood in his heart that it was the spiritual treasure of Kongjianmen.

The cave appeared to be intact and unopened. The view suddenly went inward, passing numerous buildings and various spiritual objects, and arrived under a starry night sky.

Two illusory sword shadows appeared below, condensed from Chenhui and Chihuo respectively, emitting terrifying magical power. Xu Xuan was shocked at the first sight.

Hengguang returned, and the sword continued to ring. It fell into Xu Xuan's hands. A somewhat obscure aura came from the sword, as if urging Xu Xuan to take back the sword shadow.

"So that's how it is. The essences of Hengguang and Chenhe were taken out and hidden in Yaokong Mansion. Now, what my temple and Kongjianmen have in their hands are just empty shells."

Xu Xuan looked at and recalled the two sword shadows, his heart pounding and his life trembling.

He intuitively felt that he must not let anyone else take away the two sword shadows, otherwise he could not imagine the consequences. However, this was the first time he had received such a life warning since he started practicing Taoism.

Just as he was lost in thought, a mighty golden wind suddenly rose from the mansion, swept him back from the void to the peak, and everything returned to tranquility.

Master Wanjin had already left at this time, but in the end, he still revealed his identity, which was a bit of a hint.

"It's a blessing in disguise. I know where the essence of those two spiritual swords is. This thing involves the foundation of the Taoist tradition, and I absolutely cannot let others take it."

Xu Xuan's mind sank, he felt that this might involve the True Lord's plan, and the Kongjian Sect must intervene.

"However, once the essence of the spirit sword is collected, it will become two purple palace spirit swords. Can I really keep these things?"

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan felt confused.

He was not coveting any spiritual weapon, but it involved the foundation of the Taoist tradition. If it fell into the hands of outsiders and some of the True Lord's plans were discovered, his sect would inevitably be implicated.

He sighed lightly and discussed the matter in detail with Tiantuo. Fortunately, this old demon was here, otherwise he would have no way out.

Hengguang was still emitting red flames, the sword was ringing non-stop, and the hall was full of light.
