Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 242 Dead Wood
The thriving forest is now withered.

The once lush trees were now all dead, with a golden sheen on them. Their roots were locked deep underground, splitting the spiritual veins into pieces, making it difficult for the spiritual energy to manifest.

Xu Xuan was riding the wind, and the magic light was terrifying, but everyone in the sect had been prepared and entered the untied boat in an instant. Protected by Liang Yong, they only suffered minor injuries.

"The Wu family perished just like that."

The process was so fast that it could even be said that Wu Heyong was the one who facilitated it. The gray light seemed to be from Guangmu, and it was mainly aimed at Zhuolin and the land, not at hurting anyone.

As for the sacred mountain of the Wu family, it was now covered with dark roots that drained away all the spiritual energy. The mansions and pavilions on it all collapsed, leaving no part intact.

"Master, I've sent someone to check, and nothing is left."

Liu Xingfang rode the wind forward, his voice hesitant.

"It seems Wu Heyong has already made up his mind to abandon the Wu family. Naturally, he won't leave anything for us. Even the spiritual land will be destroyed."

Xu Xuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned to look at the man in green robe.

"Your name is Wu Qinghe?"

"My Lord, this is the name."

Wu Qinghe's pupils were wide open at this time, and two lines of blood and tears actually flowed out of his eyes. He looked only thirty years old, but his cultivation was already at the seventh level, and building a foundation was inevitable.

"What are your plans now?"

Xu Xuan was very clear-headed at this time. He knew why he kept this man. It was because he wanted to enter the scroll in the future and re-enact the battle of the fall of Shu. That was why Wu Heyong did not touch him. Xu Xuan naturally understood this reason.

"I only wish to kill Wu Heyong, eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, to avenge my people."

Wu Qinghe looked over, feeling as if he was biting pig iron between his teeth.

"You're just practicing Qi, how can you seek revenge?"

Xu Xuan looked at the other party, but saw that Wu Qinghe was silent at this time. After a long pause, he said:

"If you want this place to return to normal, I might be able to help."

Xu Xuan's eyes turned serious when he heard this. Zhuolin was an excellent spiritual land, suitable for the growth of spiritual trees. It was a pity that it had become like this.

"My clan's orthodoxy is Guangmu Yidao. I wonder if you are familiar with it?"

Xu Xuan shook his head. No one had ever practiced this Taoist school, and it was rarely heard of. Even the people of the Wu family mostly practiced the Jia and Yi woods. The Wu Qinghe in front of him practiced something like the Guang wood.

"This tree is upright and strong, making it suitable for nesting, tools, and shelter. The Great Qi Imperial Family is a tradition of cultivation. Now, with the King of Qi, this path is undergoing changes, so few people practice it."

Wu Qinghe continued:
"Qi was a state ruled by immortals, and the Emperor's family was also born in the Guangyin Palace. There was a True Lord of Guangmuyi Dao in charge. Later, they were attacked by the Lihuo and conquered by Dali."

"The Qinghua Sect in Youzhou is a former branch of the Guangyin Palace. It emerged with the help of Qi Po Lixing and is now one of the seven sects."

"What connection does this have with the situation here?"

Xu Xuan frowned slightly, but saw Wu Qinghe said anxiously:

"It was the death of the True Lord that caused the burning of Guangmu, which has continued to this day, leaving it in a half-dead, half-alive situation. The techniques and secrets have changed a lot over the years, making it difficult to find an accurate method of practice."

"Wu He used the [Golden Flow Formation of Strong Branches] to sweep across this area with the light of the vast wood. The dead wood was so strong that it merged with the spiritual veins, blocking the spiritual energy and ended up like this."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan had some guesses in his mind. This place indeed had an aura between life and death. He had practiced the [Sword Solution of the Two Qis of Life and Death], so he was naturally familiar with it.

"So, do you have a solution?"

Xu Xuan asked in a deep voice, what is really valuable to the Wu family is this thriving forest, which is suitable for growing spiritual trees. It is a pity that it has been destroyed by Wu Heyong.

"My Lord, I practice the orthodox method of my clan, the fifth-grade 'Cultivating the Heavenly Gods' Sutra'. The immortal foundation I have achieved is [Ji Chou Mu], which is a living pivot of Guangmu. I am good at repairing and combing it, which can help this place recover."

Wu Qinghe's breathing became unstable and cold sweat gradually appeared on his back. This was his chance to survive, and it all depended on whether the person in front of him believed in him.

"Copy a copy of the exercises, and what happens next will depend on you." Xu Xuan said in a low voice, and asked Liu Xingfang to lead the man away. What Wu Qingshan said might be true, but he probably omitted a lot.

"Guangmu, I'm afraid it's difficult to practice now?"

He asked Xiang Tiantuo in a low voice, the Wu family actually had a volume of fifth-grade martial arts, and they could get it in their hands, so there must be something wrong.

"What he said is clear. I'm afraid that Master Guangmu is not dead yet. He is constantly under the influence of the Lihuo, causing many images and physical properties to constantly change. It will be difficult for him to establish a foundation."

Tian Tuo sighed softly and continued:

"In ancient times, the Guangmu monks were quite well-known for their kindness. They were good at building palaces and halls, and setting up nests and mansions. They were useful to any family. They were also good at fighting, and had a bit of a gold-like nature."

"Now it has come to this, with almost no monks left. However, we still have Gentu, so he can temporarily take over these functions."

Xu Xuan listened silently. According to Wu Qinghe, it would be difficult for ordinary people to practice this Taoism and even refine their Qi. However, he cultivated to the seventh level steadily. He was indeed a genius.

"If this person has established his foundation, his value will be great, but his identity is still a bit sensitive."

Guangmu monks are rare and very useful. Now that he has met one who has some talent in this area, Xu Xuan naturally has the idea of accepting him as his disciple. However, the relationship is a bit complicated and difficult to handle.

"We'll see later. Let's restore the forest first."

Xu Xuan's eyes darkened. What he needed to consider most now was the Kongjian Sect. What attitude should he adopt? Should he attack directly or let Wei Yan come forward to call for action?

With Wu Heyong in charge of the Kongjian Sect, it seems that he will not give in this time. The easier it is for the Wu family to take over, the more uneasy Xu Xuan feels. After all, the other party has almost hidden all their tricks and has never revealed them.

"Wu Heyong is backed by Zhe Du. I've never heard of this great wizard before. It seems he's the one who wants Fu Yi's bloodline and the Void Sword."

Xu Xuan sighed lightly and discussed with Tiantuo in his mind to see if he could figure out some of the reasons.

"If we extrapolate further, these paths do have some connection." Tian Tuo pondered for a moment, his tone dark. "Do you know the origins of True Lord Tian Du?"

"The world's first poisonous insect or something?"

"No."

Tiantuo's voice seemed a little dull, and it echoed in Xu Xuan's heart.

“He came from beyond heaven.”

"If so, then they are the living beings among the stars."

Xu Xuan was shocked, but he heard Tiantuo chuckle and continued:

"It's not what you think. The outer world I'm talking about is from the ancient times, when the [Yuqing Zhouguang Tianchen Avenue] was still intact, and all the stars were within this realm. The so-called outer world is not in the Three Realms, and it's not the same time."

"Legend has it that he came from across the long river of cosmic light. He was one of the most ferocious creatures in ancient times. When Fu Huang first appeared, he happened to see him and pointed out the [Original Poison] fruit position to this creature, allowing him to take root in this world."

"As for the later acquisition of poison by Wu Dao, it is already unknown to the Emperor Fu, and the specific process is difficult to explain, but it is definitely not obtained by force."

When Xu Xuan heard this, he began to feel suspicious. As a disciple of the True Lord Hengguang, why did the True Lord Yaokong practice the Zhouchen Taoism instead of the Binghuo? Moreover, the strange things that happened in the Chi Ming Mansion before made him suspicious.

"True Lord, I'm afraid you're using the magic of Zhouchen to hide from the world."

Xu Xuan had a feeling that this person was still there. After all, there was still some difference between the Golden Position and the True Lord.

"Zhe Du's focus on these two things is probably related to True Lord Tian Du. After all, this is [Tian Du Mountain], not [Shang Wu Mountain]."

Tiantuo's voice came faintly, and Xu Xuan only felt that he seemed to be in control of some veins, but there was still a layer of fog between them, and he could not see clearly.

"Only by entering Master Yaokong's residence can we find out more."

Xu Xuan was determined. It seemed that he had to put all his efforts into the matter of Kongjianmen.

He rose up with the wind, thunder rumbled in the sky, and below him was a dead tree, shining with the light of gold and iron.
