Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 303 Seeking Tao
Heaven's punishment will temper the righteous.

Red flames leaped in the furnace, and a dark golden sword blade, about one finger long, hung above it. Pure golden lightning emerged from the broken part, which was extremely dazzling. A ball of red fire appeared at the tip of the sword, mixed with mottled blood.

A Taoist child stepped out from the red fire, weighed the sword with two fingers condensed from spiritual fire, and finally touched the ball of red fire, silently sensing its nature.

"[Li Younan Flame], its color is red, born from the blood of the heart of the Dan Bird after its death. Unfortunately, this purple palace spiritual fire has been taken away, and the remaining remnants are only at the foundation-building level."

Wen Guang smacked his lips, then flicked the sword blade to listen to the sound.

"[Divine Light], [Xuan Yong Spirit Embers], [Pure Desire Stone], and [Heavenly Yang Gold]. Uh, this is a bit difficult."

The fire spirit had its little face drooping, and with a casual finger movement, red fire slowly licked the sword edge. The golden thunder fluctuated, sending out layers of ripples, and even the mottled red fire was extremely resistant.

"Wen Guang, Wen Guang, don't be depressed. Master is about to come out of retreat. Have you finished practicing your banner?"

A shout interrupted his thoughts. Wen Guang smiled slightly, but after coming out of the furnace, his face became serious again as he looked at the young man in white robe who was waiting on the side.

"You should call me Master Chef, Cheng Yan, do you still have any sense of respect for the elderly and the young?"

Wang Chengyan ignored him completely and glanced at the furnace. Seeing the golden lightning bursting out of it, curiosity filled his eyes.

"What are you refining, a divine thunder weapon?"

He walked straight forward, riding the wind to the edge of the furnace, and took a look inside. He saw a dark golden sword blade, with divine thunder bursting out and fire burning slowly, which looked extremely extraordinary.

"A sword blade. The Purple Gold Temple asked us to recast it. They want a foundation-building magic sword." Wen Guang sighed softly, "This is the remnant of the Purple Mansion Spirit Sword. Although its essence has been lost, with it as the basis, we should be able to forge a top-level foundation-building magic sword."

Wang Chengyan became interested. He looked at the sword blade and carefully identified the spiritual material used for forging it.

"But is there a difficulty? Since we already have a broken blade, wouldn't it be easier than casting it out of thin air?"

"What do you know? This sword was forged in the West Sea. It must have been nurtured by magical powers, and then it killed a fire monster. After it was broken, its physical properties changed and it can no longer be restored to its original state."

Wen Guang's face was serious. He took out a large rolled-up yellow banner from the lapis lazuli treasure rack, placed it on the ground, and spoke while looking at it.

"The key is this ball of fire, which landed on the sword's edge. The essence was taken away, and the rest was mixed with blood and dirt, which conflicted with the divine thunder and was difficult to separate. Tell me, how can we reforge it?"

Wang Chengyan now urged the fire in the furnace, took out the sword blade, and observed it silently.

The dark gold sword's blade broke evenly, and inside it was a crystal-like structure. Bits of golden lightning splashed on the sword's edge, and the blood in the crimson fire seemed to be flowing, dripping onto his hands.

His heart suddenly trembled, as if he could not hear any sound from the outside world. Only the red blood was dripping, and he felt an indescribable burning sensation.

He heard the sound of the sea crashing in his ears, and he suddenly raised his head. He was no longer in the main room. Before him was an endless sea and gusts of hot wind.

In front of him was a cultivator wearing a purple-gold Taoist robe, a moon-shaped cape and a star-shaped scarf, standing on the sea. Golden divine thunder gathered together to form the shape of the Big Dipper, which seemed to be some kind of formation, secretly in line with Tianshu.

"[Fight to the Death]"

The Taoist raised his sword and pointed it forward. The sword was dark gold, gorgeous and majestic, with the mysterious pattern of the Big Dipper on it, and the sword energy was mighty.

The clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the red fire was so vast that it blocked out the sky. The red feathers were surrounded by red light. A red bird as big as a hill appeared, bringing up a sky full of fire and rushing down.

The golden divine thunder exploded, and together with the fire, it evaporated all the sea water within a radius of dozens of miles, turning it into a cavity.

Wang Chengyan only felt that his body and soul had disappeared completely in an instant. The last thing he saw was a dark golden sword blade that had cut into the heart of the Dan Bird, bringing out dripping red blood that spilled into the sky.

"Cheng Yan? Cheng Yan!"

The pure air in his spiritual altar rolled up, and the seal script of [Yefu Forges the Sword] disappeared. He came back to his senses, with a layer of fine cold sweat on his body and his teeth chattering.

Wen Guang stood aside, slowly transmitting gentle magic power. His face was slightly gloomy and filled with concern.

"what happened?"

Wang Chengyan was stunned for a moment before he replied softly:
"nothing."

After saying this, he looked at the broken sword blade again, his eyes burning with anger as he said in a daze:

"I understand, Wen Guang, Beidou, it's Beidou."

Wen Guang's face darkened slightly. He put the sword back into the furnace, waved his sleeve and swept Cheng Yan out of the room, handing him the large yellow banner.

The door slammed shut, and Wen Guang's voice came from behind.

"Don't refine the weapon yet. The [Benevolent Heart Banner] is already refined. Prepare it. If your uncle Fayan comes out of retreat, send it to him immediately."

Wang Chengyan wiped his face and looked at the large yellow banner in his hand. He was curious and stared at it blankly, but the seal characters did not change at all and everything was calm.

In his mind, he was still thinking about the Big Dipper formation that the Taoist was stepping on. It was exactly the same as the one on the spirit sword. It was obviously some kind of weapon formation.

Sky blue. Xu Xuan sat in the hall, silently comprehending the volume of "The Outline of Heavenly Punishment". A year had passed since the last demon slaying, and it was autumn again.

The Dali Thunder Tribe has been quiet recently, and he is not needed. The Tianlei Temple has neither good nor bad incense sales, but he doesn't take it too seriously. Occasionally, on a whim, he rides on the clouds to drive the wind and bring rain, which is considered to be fulfilling his duty.

Now his magic power and Taoism have reached the peak of foundation building, and even his dragon body has begun to retreat. The results will be available in ten years at most.

As for the human body, Xu Xuan tapped lightly on the jade table in front of him. After a year, he had gained a lot of insights into the sword art of the [Jie Fa] lineage, but the [Si Tian Jie] belonging to [Yuehe] was still a mess.

"The Golden Elixir Method emphasizes the unification of the three elements, transforming them into a holy fetus. Therefore, when building the foundation to the Purple Palace, the three elements are united. The Qi Sea, Juque, and Niwan fields merge into one, refining true gold, which is the supernatural power."

"The ancient method is also known as the [Ascension Dao System]. It emphasizes the connection between heaven and man. Through practice and understanding, one can directly comprehend the Daluo Heaven and elevate one's life."

“Thus, the Purple Mansion realm is called a True Man in the modern world, and was often called a Celestial Being in ancient times.”

Tiantuo explained in a low voice at this time, and Xu Xuan just felt a headache listening to it. To be honest, he was not good at Taoism. If it came to fighting, he would naturally be at the forefront of the foundation building stage, but if he talked about these Taoism theories, it would be a bit difficult for him.

"This so-called method of ascension is too obscure. The Golden Elixir Method is at least based on the immortal foundation, which is transformed into supernatural powers. There are traces to follow, and we can just follow them step by step. This Dao Gang records that everyone has different perceptions, so the method of breakthrough will be different."

"You still need to sense the Daluo, how can I, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, sense it?"

Xu Xuan sighed lightly. Even though the ancient methods were more magical and the breakthroughs were faster, and there were even stories in ancient times where mortals could achieve supernatural powers in one day, it was really too difficult to comprehend at the moment.

"In ancient times, there was a heavenly court that provided support for those who ascended to heaven. Since most fruit positions have owners, Daluo is easily susceptible to this influence, so there's still a chance for success." Tiantuo said softly, "The most crucial thing now is that She Lei has no owner, and it's even been intentionally hidden."

"Even if you use the Golden Elixir method to break through, it is extremely difficult. What do you think the reason for the Great Li Thunder Tribe to kill the demon is to help Song Shiming achieve his goal and help him achieve the Dao Zheng and break through."

"It is impossible to obtain [Si Tian Jie] once it falls into the hands of Qilin. Even if I use the dragon body to find a way, the origin of the technique cannot be explained. Right now, the only thing I have is this scroll of Dao Gang."

Xu Xuan was determined and said in a deep voice:

"This is also the only chance to quickly break through the Purple Mansion. If it is the Golden Elixir method, first refine the spiritual objects, then merge the Dantian, and then refine the upper, middle and lower parts, and finally achieve supernatural powers. Even if you are fast, it will take seven or eight years."

"If I can sense the 'communal thunder', does that mean I have a chance?"

Tiantuo sneered at this time, his tone merciless.

"The Shelei hasn't appeared in recent years. Even though my blood energy is at its peak right now and there are some signs of it appearing, it will probably take a hundred years. Can you afford to wait?"

Xu Xuan said nothing, but just activated the immortal talisman in his body. The ancient characters [Xuan Yi He Zun Wei] flashed with lightning, purple and white intertwined.

"[Yuehe] is a gathering of community shocks, a glimmer of hope after the destruction of thunder. Can I borrow this thunder power to see the fruit of community thunder?"

Tiantuo laughed even harder at this time, as if Xu Xuan had told a huge joke.

"I think you are confused. There is such a saying, but it is only accessible to those with great supernatural powers. You are only at the foundation building stage, and you haven't even figured out the changes in the immortal foundation and supernatural powers. Trying to think about the golden position and the Dao fruit is like an ant trying to shake a tree."

"uncertain."

Xu Xuan's voice was flat at this time, without any emotion, he just said in a low voice:

"I have a great master beside me, isn't he? Am I right, the Little Saint Tiantuo?"

The sound in the Qi Sea fell silent for a moment, and Tiantuo no longer laughed mockingly. After a while, the old demon slowly spoke, with a hint of loss in his tone.

"When I was alive, I could naturally help you understand this change. When it comes to Taoism, even the most powerful of the Golden Elixir lineage cannot compare to me. But now, I am only a remnant of my soul."

"but."

The old demon's voice suddenly became high-pitched again, with a hint of pride, and his laughter was very sinister.

"With this immortal scroll, you have a lot to offer. As an ancient celestial being of the Shelei sect, and a sword cultivator, if you truly achieve success, your importance in the Dali Divine Dao is self-evident."

"As long as Bei Liao puts enough pressure on you and that Tian Shu Sword kills enough people, Da Li will pay more attention to you. That will be your chance to escape."

Tiantuo has calculated on behalf of Xu Xuan that the ancient celestial beings were superior to the current Zifu in terms of Taoism, not to mention the Shelei Dao. Once achieved, the combat power would be comparable to two magical powers.

The sword intent can withstand a magical power with extremely strong killing power. In this way, as long as Xu Xuan breaks through with the method of ascension and replenishes his spiritual weapon, he can protect himself even when facing the middle stage of Purple Mansion.

This already gives us enough say in the Dali Immortal Dao, and things will be much easier then.

Xu Xuan concentrated his mind and looked inward at the immortal scroll. This was the basis for his practice of the method of ascension. No matter how much the Song family planned, they would never have expected this.

Outside the hall, there was a sudden sound of the earth's veins shaking. The clear air in Xu Xuan's sea of qi leaped up, and above the immortal scroll, Xu Fayan's name instantly rose up, and a muddy yellow light of Dharma rose.
