Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 296 Dao Gang
In prison.

Dan Ting and Tian Xun stood in the center with their sword and pool. The sword intent spread out and they shuttled up and down. Above the prison were thousands of silver needles of lightning, which, connected by the sword intent, turned into seal characters.

"To judge the heavenly calamities, to record the good and punish the evil, is the purpose of the calamity command. Before the Xuan Huang is judged, the law is already established, which is the secret of the beginning of thunder. All those who seek the truth and the Tao, and who seek to ascend to heaven, follow this path."

"[Jie Fa] wields the sword, cleansing the foul atmosphere, exorcising demons and slaying evil. [Yue He] creates life, saves life and death, and brings prosperity to all things."

Xu Xuan silently looked at this Taoist outline, which mainly recorded the many secrets of [Sijie Tianfu], among which the secrets of [Jie Fa] and [Yuehe] were mentioned.

'Of the two Dao veins, [Jie Fa] was developed by ancient sword cultivators and belongs to the Dao of Sword. It is the manifestation of the killing and destruction of robbery. As for [Yue He], as mentioned above, it is the manifestation of the dual nature of thunder and lightning.'

If he had a clear understanding in his heart, he would roughly understand the significance of this honorable position, which is the unity of the two intentions of thunder destruction and rebirth.

Zhen thunder is responsible for life, She thunder is responsible for destruction, which is similar to the principles of yin and yang, life and death. That is why they can be unified under the extraordinary [Flying Sword of Life and Death].

What follows is a dense record of the Thunder Department's laws, involving many rules and regulations for governing heavenly tribulations. There is also discussion of the way of cultivation, but there is no division of realms, until the secrets of the Golden Position.

The immortal foundation in Xu Xuan's sea of qi was trembling more and more. If he felt it, he would realize that this outline was too mysterious. It did not involve the distinction between the foundation-building and purple mansion realms at all. It started with talking about the gold position, which was really shocking.

"The Thunder Palace was manifested in the ancient times. At that time, inner alchemy was not yet popular. Breakthroughs were very different from today. They focused on comprehension. Although it was possible to break through to the Purple Palace, it was more difficult to comprehend."

Tiantuo's voice rang out, causing Xu Xuan's heart to sink. Yes, he had forgotten the most important thing before. The Thunder Palace was too ancient, and many of its inheritances were too different from those of today.

The inheritance of Doushuyuan has been modified by Xuanshu Dao, so there is no difficulty in practicing it today. However, the records in this prison are the most original essentials for practicing the immortal way.

"This is the ancient immortal way, where enlightenment is the most important principle. It's too difficult to comprehend it." Tiantuo sighed. "It's just the Thunder Palace's orthodox method, but I think it has many mysteries."

Xu Xuan said nothing, silently comprehending the "Outline of the Heavenly Punishment of Sijie", trying to use thunder to heal the mysterious phenomena in his body and make the inner scene complete.

The immortal in his body was extremely close to the [Si Tian Jie]. Just based on his Taoism, he had already reached the extreme point of She Lei, and was only one step away from success. Now he could only bite the bullet and try.

This old place of Sijie Mansion is undoubtedly extremely beneficial for comprehension. If the opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to come across it again. Xu Xuan did not hesitate and tried to recreate the scene of Sijie in the past in his body based on the records on this Dao Gang.

"[Mind Pool]"

He whispered a command, and the [Pool of Tribulation] appeared, located in the middle of the Qi Sea. It was silver-white in color, and lightning burst out. The old Tribulation Laws were being engraved on it bit by bit by Xu Xuan, and a rumbling sound of Taoism was heard.

This thunder pool became more and more mysterious, appearing on its own, and connected to Xu Xuan's life. Layers of lightning poured down from it, tempering his soul and body, refining all the yin impurities, and achieving pure yang.

"【Immortal Slaying Punishment】"

The sword intent was born, and an ancient, vicissitudes of life execution platform fell into the sea of qi and thunderclouds. A gray immortal edge hung above it, serving as a guillotine. Below it were immortals, demons, and monsters. The blood of many creatures flowed, and the murderous intent was fierce.

The two mysterious images returned to their positions, and under the restraint of Sijie Daogang, many strange phenomena occurred, constantly expanding the inner scene in Xu Xuan's Qi sea.

"[Nine Heavens Prison]"

In the sea of qi, thunderclouds split apart, and the nine layers of the sky appeared. There were all kinds of prisons and punishments, and the power was overwhelming, which echoed the thunder prison where Xu Xuan was.

Three mysterious images, this is already the fifth level, but Xu Xuan still feels that the inner scene has not been fully revealed, there is still something missing, there is still one mysterious image!
He carefully comprehended the principles of Taoism and tried many mysterious phenomena, such as weapons, thunder spirits, etc., and manifested them one by one, but they were all rejected by this inner scene.

"No, no, what is it?"

Just one step away from completing [Si Tian Jie], and then one can try to break through using the ancient immortal way's methods according to the records in this volume of Dao Gang.

He was thinking hard when he heard the sound of the Dan Ting sword pointing directly above the Thunder Prison.

"Yes, this prison was built with the intention of [Yuehe], and above it is [Si Tianjie]!"

Xu Xuan suddenly understood and looked towards the top. Sure enough, among the layers of lightning, he saw the Thunder Pool, the Immortal Guillotine, the Heavenly Prison and other symbols. And in the deepest part, there seemed to be something hidden.

He raised the Tianxun Lei Chi with one hand, and Dan Ting returned to the pool, instantly transforming into two purple and white flying swords, the size of a palm, carrying a cold sword intent, which were the [Flying Swords of Life and Death].

The flying sword slashed out and soared into the sky, stirring up the thunder above. A thunderous roar came from it, and the scene of an object appeared.

It has a dragon head, a deer body, an ox tail, horse hooves, two horns on its head, and is completely black. Its four feet are stepping on white lightning and black fire. It is extremely majestic, hidden in the layers of lightning. At this time, the beast slowly opened its eyes and looked at it indifferently.

"[Mo Qilin]"

The last mysterious image was completed, the inner scene was complete, and the [Si Tian Jie] was accomplished. The greatest benefit was the birth of another mysterious image, this [Mo Qilin], the spirit of She Lei. If one uses the [Si Tian Jie] to achieve supernatural powers, one can transform into such a spirit beast, which is extremely magical.

"The method for breakthrough already exists. Although it is an ancient method and difficult and obscure, it is sufficient. I have some confidence in using it to develop a magical power."

Xu Xuan was certain that since he had the immortal foundation of [Si Tian Jie], there must be a corresponding method of inner alchemy practice, but now he had no time to look for it. Since there was an ancient method, according to Tiantuo's words, it might not be impossible to give it a try.

Feeling the scene inside the Qi Sea, Xu Xuan's momentum surged. He took a last look at this Thunder Prison, turned around and walked away. At this moment, a ray of blood suddenly appeared in the originally empty Thunder Prison and shot out.

"Zi Mansion!"

The aura of supernatural power level pressed down and instantly locked Xu Xuan's limbs and bones. Silver thunder violently surged in his inner scene and Mo Lin roared, but neither could stop the invasion of blood light.

Even Tiantuo had not anticipated this sudden change. He roared and was about to attack, but the blood light went straight into Xu Xuan's meridians, bypassed the qi sea, passed through the twelve floors, passed the jade gate and went straight to the spiritual platform.

"?"

Seeing this, Xu Xuan and Tian Tuo Fan Dao calmed down and let the blood rush up. If the other party attacked his physical body, it would be really difficult to deal with him. He actually went to the spirit platform and asked for spiritual consciousness.
The blood light was slightly stunned, and seeing that the Dharma body seemed to have given up resistance, it immediately fled towards Xu Xuanlingtai, and then crashed into the curtain formed by the condensed clear air.

The clear energy was turbulent. Xu Xuan had never seen such a violent reaction from the ancient monument in the Qi Sea. He even stretched out the Daoxuanqing energy, rolled it up, restrained the blood light, and bound it directly into the Qi Sea, suppressing it fiercely.

In the sea of qi, Tiantuo sneered and descended from the thundercloud. He looked at the blood light, which was suppressed by the mysterious qi at this time, losing all its magic and no longer changing.

"Xuanqi!"

A cry of surprise came from the blood light, Tiantuo nodded slowly, and then a pure white light rose from his hand, with the images of the sun, moon and stars below, merging into a chaotic cave.

"My fellow Daoist, someone is already here."

Tiantuo chuckled, and a black unicorn fell from the thundercloud. With a long roar, the cloud-like whiskers wrapped in black fire on its neck fluttered and landed beside the blood light suppressed by the dark green energy. It was Xu Xuan.

"Kirin?"

Another voice rang out from the bloody light, with a hint of doubt. The Dharma light in Tiantuo's hand became more and more terrifying, and the chaotic hole slowly turned. He grinned and said:

"Tell me, who are you? I'll tell you if I've ever heard of you. If you don't tell me the truth, with my skills in concocting souls, you won't want to know."

But the blood light remained silent, and eventually dimmed little by little. Silver-white lightning rose from it, extinguishing it in an instant.

Tiantuo wanted to stop it, but the process was extremely fast. In the end, the lightning dissipated, leaving only a little ashes, nothing left.

"What a pity! I should have asked about this thing to see if there is any ancient method of blood qi."

Tiantuo picked up the ashes without any disgust. He took a light suck and swallowed them directly. Xu Xuan frowned and looked at him with disgust.

"Are you really Zifu? I have some doubts."

The old demon was not ashamed, but laughed strangely:
"Making the best use of everything. For cultivators of the Blood Qi Path, their memories and souls are refined into their bodies. If I examine them, I might be able to make some inferences about their origins."

"I didn't ask you to swallow it, but you're still disgusted with it?"

Tian Tuo swallowed all the ashes that the blood light had turned into, closed his eyes, and said softly:
"A high-ranking cultivator of the Guiyi sect, a blood-qi cultivator who lived long enough, a figure from the early days of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

But then Tiantuo's expression changed rapidly, becoming somewhat ugly. He opened his eyes, his golden pupils gleaming, and said hesitantly:
"No, that bloody light just now is everything this Blood Qi cultivator has. His life is in it, nothing else can escape."

"The female demon that Song executed earlier was placed there later. It wasn't the work of the Thunder Palace!"

Tiantuo looked solemn, with a hint of worry in his tone, and said in a low voice:
"No wonder there's something a bit strange about the golden nature. That female demon is no ordinary person and cannot be judged by common sense."

Xu Xuan sighed lightly, and was also confused, but the situation was unclear, so he could only reply:
"After all, with the Song family and Emperor Taizhen here, the situation should still be under control."

He slowly stepped out of the prison, returned to the thunder chariot, and drove towards the territory where the heavenly soldiers were stationed. However, when he looked beyond the darkness, all he saw was a pile of corpses and blood flowing everywhere, falling into the depths of the void.

All the heavenly soldiers were killed.
