Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 255: Cosmic Light Flow Rate

Fuzhong.

Dispelling the gray air, Xu Xuan walked forward alone, guided by the constant light, bathing in the starry sky.

There was a sudden turbulence in the void. First, dark red Yin fire covered the surroundings, and then golden scale sword energy cut off the five-colored poisonous light. The power was so great that it could be sensed even without the help of Tiantuo's secret technique.

"A fight started?"

Xu Xuan's eyes were dim. To him, this was barely good news. The more chaotic the situation was, the more chances there were to disrupt the situation.

"I wonder if the True Lord has any tricks up his sleeve."

It was probably inevitable that Yaokong's mansion would be discovered. According to what was seen in Chi Ming Mansion in the past, these two spiritual swords contained mysteries, which might be related to the whereabouts and life and death of Zhenjun Hengguang.

Xu Xuan naturally did not want to be involved in such things, but since they were things left by his ancestors, he had to take them seriously. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he still wanted to keep the two magic swords. Even if they were not in his hands, he would not let others take them away.

"You should have some tricks up your sleeve, otherwise, what are you expecting from me, a Foundation Establisher?"

Once the two spiritual swords are revived, Zifu will certainly not be able to sit still. "Binghuo" is good at refining weapons, and these two spiritual swords were forged under the instruction of the True Lord. Just based on this point, they must be extraordinary.

For a being like this at the Jindan level, every move he makes is in the direction of heaven and earth.

The True Lords of Jia and Yi Wood can easily create the Purple Palace Spirit Root, and if the True Lord Heng Guang has the intention to refine a weapon, even if the deity does not take action, this intention will become the greatest help in creating the weapon.

The void was still at this moment, and the gray air under his feet stopped fluctuating, allowing Xu Xuan to come back to his senses. The starlight in front of him dimmed, and a treasure tower in a mixture of ochre and yellow appeared from the drifting gray air.

This building is about a hundred feet high and is made entirely of some kind of ochre-yellow spiritual wood. Xu Xuan took a closer look and found that it was made of Wu Earth. The entire building was made by refining various Wu Earth spiritual objects into one, and even exuded the aura of the Purple Palace.

The door of the tower is tightly closed, with ochre feather and precious bird patterns on it. Next to it stands an ancient bluestone stele with the words "Zhanheng Tower" inscribed on it.

There are a few lines of inscriptions below the stone tablet, emitting wisps of earth light, and it still looks like it was newly engraved.

"When the emperor first ascended the throne, in remembrance of Fengxuan's contributions, he bestowed upon him a Zhanxuan Tower to draw in the aura of Kunwei Taiheng."

"In the twelfth year of Taiheng, Prince Wei Yi came to visit and met the Immortal. He was here to worship the mysterious Dao. He observed that the Dao's laws were shifting, and there was a sign of mountains collapsing and crumbling. The Immortal regarded it as a bad omen, so he closed the tower."

When Xu Xuan looked at it, he immediately understood the origin of the treasure tower. It was originally given by the Emperor of Shu. The Shu Kingdom did not seem to have a long history, probably only about three or four hundred years. After all, the two Purple Mansions, Chi Ming and Yao Kong, existed from the time their dynasties were founded until their demise.

He was just lost in thought when he heard a shock in the building. The light of Wu Earth flickered, and a sound like a war drum was heard, then disappeared in an instant. This sound seemed to have a demonic quality, causing Xu Xuan's blood to flow backwards and his magic power to become disordered.

The situation improved after Yufeng moved away from the building, and the sound like a war drum never came again.

"This is?"

He asked Tiantuo in his mind, and felt that it might be some kind of spiritual weapon that showed its power at this time.

"Is it alive?"

Tian Tuo's voice was filled with doubt and uncertainty, and he just said in a low voice:

"There are no records of the founding and fall of the Shu Kingdom. Few people know the methods of this imperial family. It is best not to provoke them."

The Zhanheng Tower was still emitting a mixture of ochre and yellow Dharma light at this time. The earth energy condensed at the bottom of the building, and the shadow of the mountain root appeared, merging with the entire mansion.

Hengguang's sword was ringing non-stop at this moment. He sensed something and a wisp of red fire shot out, transforming into the face of a Taoist child, who asked in confusion:
"Zhanheng Tower? This isn't something bestowed by the Shu Kingdom's imperial family, but a rare Wu Earth Spiritual Artifact."

Xu Xuan was very far away from Zhanheng Tower at this time. He looked at Wen Guang and asked softly:

"What is the origin of this thing?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Guang hurriedly replied, "Master, this building was built using [Wangtian Wuhua] and [Jiachun Damu] to draw in the Taiheng Qi from Kunwei Heaven. This Qi is born with the Emperor and has the magical power to shape spiritual lands."

"Back then, my temple also had a similar pavilion called Weitai. According to what the Immortal said back then, if we have enough time, we can use the energy of Taiheng to transform the gate of my temple into a blessed land."

Xu Xuan looked towards the building with a serious gaze, fearing that the voice would sound again. He turned the magic sword and continued to sense the location of the essence.

"How many generations has the Shu Kingdom been passed down?"

He thought about it and asked Wen Guang about it first, but he saw that the fire spirit had some doubts in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he said softly:
"The country has a total of 800 years, with three generations of emperors. The first two were both Golden Core, and the last one was at the peak of Purple Mansion."

What Wen Guang said was different from what Xu Xuan guessed. Zifu's lifespan was 800 years. If we calculate it based on the lifespans of the two immortals, Chi Ming and Yao Kong, the lifespan of Shu Kingdom should be within 500 years.

"Why eight hundred years? Patriarch Chi Ming lived from the founding of his dynasty until the end of his kingdom. Is it because he has a long lifespan, or is it?"

Xu Xuan was puzzled. If True Man Chi Ming was some age when he participated in the founding war, wouldn't his life span be nearly a thousand years if calculated piecemeal? This was the level of cultivation achieved by ancient immortals, and the Kingdom of Shu was founded in the Middle Ages.

"It's the magic of [Kun Wei Tian], but it's hard to talk about. It's somewhat different from prolonging life."

Wen Guang thought hard but couldn't come up with a clear answer. Xu Xuan had no choice but to ask him to talk about a few emperors. Then he heard the fire spirit say:

"The Emperor Gaozu sat on the Wu Earth Fruition Position and was named Emperor Taiheng. After establishing the country, he abdicated and succeeded his son. This emperor was named Jing, as if to prove that he was following the earth virtue."

"Isn't it Wu Earth?"

Xu Xuan was puzzled. Since Emperor Gaozu was the True Lord of the Wu Earth Sect, wouldn't it be best for his son to seek a subordinate position in the same sect?
But Wen Guang shook his head and said softly:

"Emperor Jing of Shu was not the eldest son of a legitimate wife, but a concubine's son. His ascension to the throne was unexpected by the cultivators. When he was young, he concealed his incompetence and cultivated one of the other four lands."

"Emperor Jing and Xuan Shu Zhen Jun of the [Xuan Lei Tian Shu Xian Dao] were friends of life and death. They had once worshipped this Dao as the head of the nation's immortals. However, both of them later passed away, and Taizu did not respond."

"So the Crown Prince hastily ascended the throne, taking the title of Emperor. He practiced the orthodox Wu Tu. As for what happened later, Wen Guang really can't remember. I hope the Sect Master won't ask any more questions."

After saying this, Wen Guang fell silent, as if he was trying to keep secrets. So Xu Xuan stopped asking him about these old things and walked forward to think about the key points.

"I'm afraid the problem lies in the reign of Emperor Jing. If he and True Lord Xuanshu were both here, the Shu Kingdom would naturally be stable. Moreover, Emperor Jing died, so why did Taizu not take care of this matter?"

"The Wu Earth Fruit is hidden in the cave, and now it seems to be ownerless. It seems that the emperor is afraid."

Xu Xuan walked forward slowly. The constant light suddenly stopped and the sword continued to ring. Xu Xuan looked forward and saw that it was still a gray mist. He could not see any difference.

Hengguang was unwilling to move forward, and remained where he was, making clanging sounds.

"What's ahead?"

He saw that Tiantuo didn't say anything and felt puzzled.

"I can't tell either, let me test it a little first."

Xu Xuan's eyes wrinkled slightly, and he turned his hand to gather a ray of lightning, which was then transformed into a silver thunder bird. By activating his own vital energy, he made the thunder bird's eyes lively and it flew towards the vast gray air ahead.

As soon as it entered the front, the Silver Thunder Bird quickly decayed, and the magic structure in its body wore out very quickly. With Xu Xuan's means, this thunder bird should have been able to last for three days, but after entering the gray air, it collapsed in just ten breaths.

"Is this because the speed of cosmic light is different?"

Tiantuo's voice sounded, and the gray air in front dissipated, revealing a starry Taoist platform in the distance. On the platform, there was a jade sceptre with stars engraved on it, which was spinning non-stop.
