Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 259 Yaokong
In front of the hall.

Hengguang has fully recovered at this time. After years, this ancient spiritual sword finally showed its edge. Golden and red fire burned in the sky, breaking through the star map. Xu Xuan silently sensed it and felt that this spiritual sword was at least mid-grade Purple Mansion, and it was also due to wear and tear. If it was complete, it would be of high-grade level.

He looked at the Taoist Kong Le in front of him, his gaze fixed on the Chen River in the other's hand. Now he had the Purple Mansion Spirit Sword in his hand, but it could only protect himself. If he were to kill Kong Le and take back the Chen River, he would have to face the entire Purple Mansion Formation, which was not something that the Foundation Establishment could withstand.

His eyes were dim and he seemed to have regained some consciousness. The sword of Chenhe in his hand kept ringing, echoing with Hengguang. A ray of starlight quickly flew out from the hall behind Xu Xuan and landed on Chenhe.

"The essence of Chenhe."

Xu Xuan tightly gripped the magic sword in his hand. If Chen He also revived and Kong was unable to kill him with the sword, the situation would be extremely bad.

"It's the [Zhou Xiang Gold], which was found by the True Lord in an old palace in the Great Zhou Dynasty while he was searching for the Fengxuan relics. The Tianchen Gui also has the same origin. Legend has it that they were both brought across the boundary by Tiandu."

Wen Guang emerged from the spiritual sword, his figure became more solid. With the nourishment of this spiritual sword, his realm instantly rose to the late stage of foundation building, and the spiritual fire on his body became more condensed.

Xu Xuan looked up into the air intently, and saw the starlight on the Chenhe Sword flowing, appearing illusory and uncertain. Instead, the momentum of this ancient sword gradually declined, until finally, there was no fluctuation at all, as if it did not exist.

The sky was filled with starlight, the Three Enclosures and the Twenty-Eight Mansions appeared, and a star map descended from the sky. The [Lingxian Tianxingtu], this spiritual weapon was unfolded at this time, cooperating with the purple palace formation of the entire mansion, completely isolating Taixu.

Even Tiantuo could not observe the external situation at this time. The starlight changed and moved according to the celestial orbit. Taoist Kongluo stood under the starlight, and the bloodstains and scars on his body gradually faded away.

His eyes were much clearer, and the old face turned to look at Xu Xuan and spoke slowly.

"Are you Wen Fufeng's disciple?"

"That's right, Junior Xu Xuan."

Xu Xuan replied loudly, feeling confused and wondering if it was Kong Du who was talking to him at this moment.

"Come up and talk."

Kong Lu's voice was low, and the dark Milky Way around him reappeared, one end of which was connected to the star map above. Starlight was mixed in the Milky Way, and a green wooden spirit raft appeared, shrouded in gray mist.

"This is the [Pan Xing Cha], it seems to be the orthodox version of the Sky Sword."

Xu Xuan let out a light breath, and at this moment, he rode the thunder and landed on the spiritual raft. His face was expressionless, and he summoned Chen He, who turned into a ray of starlight, pulling the spiritual raft towards the star map in the sky.

"Senior, what are you going to do?"

Xu Xuan's face darkened and he asked in a low voice.

"I'll take you to see how the True Lord traveled to the outer world in the past."

The sound was dull, like the scraping of bark, but it sounded like thunder to Xu Xuan's ears. Looking upwards, he saw the stars rotating and the fire of Bing rushing. In an instant, the two of them entered the star map.

The star raft floated above the Milky Way, surrounded by twinkling stars. Xu Xuan had a feeling that he was now in the [Lingxian Tianxingtu], not the real starry sky.

Looking up, one can see the stars of the Big Dipper in the distance, seven appearing and two disappearing. Suddenly, a red star comes running from the southern sky, with infinite light, carrying thousands of golden-red fires, and goes straight into the Big Dipper, falling into Yaoguang's right Bi, and disappears in a flash.

"This is [Heng Yi offends Dou]. The star that corresponds to the position of Heng Guang Zun is [Heng Yi]. In ancient times, the sun had three auxiliary stars, namely Ying Bing, Li, and Zhen. [Heng Yi] is one of them."

"When this star is in existence, the days are long and the nights are short. Light from the sky falls to the ground and turns into fire, producing infinite light without the need for firewood."

Kongluo had a somewhat emotional look on his face and spoke in a leisurely tone as he looked up at the Big Dipper above.

"You practice the Way of Thunder. The first four stars of the Big Dipper are 'Divine Thunder', and the last four are 'Thunderbolt'. Should you know this?"

"Junior understands."

Xu Xuan gradually had some guesses in his mind at this time, but he didn't dare to speak lightly. Even Tiantuo kept silent at this time. As for Wen Guang, since he entered the star map, the fire spirit has been silent again, and no one knows why.

"The Big Dipper is seven visible and two invisible. When the Thunder Palace is in place, the left assistant and the right assistant are in the corresponding position of the Thunder Metal, which is in charge of the God of Thunder."

Blue starlight gradually emerged from Kong Lu's eyes. As his voice rang out, Xu Xuan's Qi Sea gradually became transparent, and the silver-white calamity pool slowly turned, with lightning hidden in it.

"Do you know what the ancient name of the star Youbi, which Hengyi used to depart, was?"

The voice was low, but Xu Xuan's heart sank. He looked up at the Big Dipper and said softly:

"[Tianpeng]."

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel horrified, but saw that the body of the Taoist Kong Le in front of him quickly dissipated and turned into a ball of starlight. He was wearing a silver-gray Taoist robe, and his aura continued to rise, far exceeding the foundation-building level.

Chenhe let out a long sword sound, and around him, various stars, star tracks, and the Milky Way appeared. The human figure formed by the starlight slowly spoke:
"Have you guessed who I am?"

Xu Xuan saluted solemnly at this time, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice:
"Meet Master Yaokong."

"No need to be polite."

The starlight surged endlessly in the silver robe, and Yaokong's true voice was revealed, which was a clear young man's voice.

"It's a pity that after waiting for all these years, the right time came, but the wrong person came."

The starlight was surging endlessly. Xu Xuan was sitting opposite the real person in front of him. He seemed to see many illusory scenes of time changing passing by him.

"Why aren't you [Feng Xuan]?" Xu Xuan was silent for a moment, but only replied softly:
"If it really came from the [Fengxuan] sword art, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of others by now."

Yaokong sighed at this time, and the changing scene of time around him stopped. He summoned Chenhe and gently stroked the sword.

"Chen He has already told me about what happened over the years. As for you, it's a good thing that you have your own destiny."

After he finished speaking, Yaokong waved his hand, took Hengguang and placed him side by side with Chenhe.

"I will take these two spiritual swords, send them to Beidou, and hand them over to the True Lord. I cannot give them to you for the time being."

Xu Xuan did not feel any regret in his heart, but felt a lot more relieved. If he really had to deal with these two spiritual swords, it would no doubt be like a child carrying gold through a busy city. With his foundation-building cultivation level, he would not be able to stop them.

"May I ask the True Lord, where is he now?"

Before Xu Xuan finished speaking, Yaokong shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Hengguang is indeed without a ruler, but the True Lord is still here. Although he was known for killing demons and dying, his plans were not so simple."

"My Lord sacrificed his golden throne at the cost of [Hengyi Punishment] and followed the path left by the Immortal Lord Tianpeng, escaping into the outer realm. According to past calculations, these two spiritual swords should have been returned by someone who followed the Xuanjian Vein."

"Now it's you who comes."

Yaokong sighed and said slowly:
"Even if it's not what you expected, it's enough that you've made it this far."

Xu Xuan listened silently, his mind awash with questions. He wanted to ask this former Great Shu master: how much time had passed? What was his plan?

"I am the afterimage left behind when Yaokong first achieved magical powers. Leveraging the magic of the cosmic light, I have been preserved to this day, ready for future events. When the Chiming Mansion fell, I had a vague feeling that my mansion wouldn't be hidden for long. Now, it has indeed been opened."

"May I ask, Immortal, are you and Patriarch Chi Ming back now?"

Xu Xuan was a little at a loss for words, but the human figure formed by the starlight just waved its hand and sighed:

"He died a long time ago, don't worry about him."

Yaokong chuckled a few times, as if mocking himself, and said softly:

"I wanted to tell you more, especially about the past of Great Shu, but you and I are both too weak now. If we knew some things, the consequences would be beyond the ability of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to bear."

"If you have anything else to ask, as long as it doesn't involve Dashu, I'm willing to discuss it. Time is running out."

Xu Xuan's expression darkened at this moment, and he said:

"When I was practicing thunder magic, was it related to Hengming Fighting?"

"There's a part of it. After all, the two stars intersected, and they collided with the star named by the Immortal Lord Tianpeng. There might be some reasons behind it, but it's not the main reason. I think you should go to the North Sea more often."

Yaokong lowered his voice a bit, and seemed a little afraid, but Xu Xuan's mind turned, and he immediately thought of many people, including the two True Lords of Zhenlei, especially the venerable True Lord Shangyu, who seemed to have some connection with the immortal talisman in his body.

Xu Xuan looked forward, but saw that Yaokong's figure was becoming more and more illusory, with two spiritual swords hanging quietly beside him. He knew that time was running out, so he hurriedly asked the last question.

"True Lord, why did you abandon your golden throne and head for the Long River of Cosmic Light?"

He looked at the starlight figure in front of him with a firm gaze. Yaokong was silent for a while, then said softly:
"Go look for someone."

"I wonder who it is?"

"Fengxuan Palace, the first generation Palace Master, one of the Nine Manifestations of Xuanqi, the Sword Immortal."

Xu Xuan's heart sank, but he saw Yaokong Zhenren stand up. His body made of starlight became more and more illusory, and two spiritual swords surrounded him. At this time, his voice sighed and said softly:

"You are quite good. In the past, you would be worthy of the position of the head. If my senior brother saw this, he would be very happy."

"The Tianchen Gui was originally left to others. You can take it out and use it to gain more benefits for your own path. Achieving the Purple Palace is the most important thing. Everything else is in vain."

"All the immortals, including Taizhen and Fuchen, are not to be trusted. As for Taiping Mountain, the Lu family can visit, but the Qing family must be on guard."

"Wen Guang has an extraordinary origin. He was enlightened by a True Lord in the past. Although he has some very real skills, you don't have to worry. Just use them with confidence."

"Only by achieving the Purple Palace early can the clouds be cleared and the sun be seen."

Yaokong's figure slowly dissipated and turned into a ball of pure starlight. He carried two spiritual swords and rushed into the sky, pointing towards the Big Dipper.

"Kong Jian and Da Chi are one family, so remember that."

The stars of Beidou and Youbi were bright, and the two magic swords disappeared into the vast void in a flash. Xu Xuan fell from the starry sky, and the [Lingxian Tianxingtu] shook. He returned to the mansion, but found that the Taoist's body was gone.

The purple palace formation of this mansion began to collapse, and a vast golden wind rose from the void, lifting Xu Xuan up. A young man in golden clothes with a smile on his face was waiting for him.

The golden wind surged endlessly, Xu Xuan sensed it silently, the clear air still confused his mind, he could only curse secretly.

'unlucky.'
