Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 323: The First Manifestation of Xuanqi

Red cloud.

Thunderclouds stretching for miles rose and changed, silver snakes ran, and heavenly sounds symphonied. This strange phenomenon lasted for a long time and finally turned into a thundercloud. The thunder inside was intertwined into a calamity pool, and all kinds of thunder were born inside, hanging in the sky.

Xu Xuan landed beside the crowd in an instant, and with a light breath, the entire Tianlei was filled with a warm purple light, and the nature of thunder and lightning that gave birth to all things was revealed. Everyone's injuries recovered instantly, as if they were reborn.

He glanced around and found that many people were missing. His spiritual sense quickly covered the entire Qingwei area, and the lightning searched for the remaining living people. Finally, he found a dozen people in the ruins.

Among them was Wang Chengyan. When he opened his eyes, Wang Qiyun had already rushed forward and helped his son up.

"Where is your great-father?"

Wang Chengyan's eyes suddenly dimmed, he shook his head and said nothing. Wang Qiyun found it hard to accept this reality, he choked a little but couldn't speak.

Xu Xuan looked at the scene, and a surge of indescribable emotions just surged in his heart, but in an instant, his supernatural powers spontaneously operated to stop it, so as to maintain this state of mind without joy or sorrow.

The rainstorm stopped and the golden clouds in the sky dispersed. He felt that the strange phenomenon shrouding the red clouds had ended, and the scroll of Taoist map had been put away.

The clear air in his Qi Sea moved, and he suddenly felt something. In his sea of consciousness, he saw the figure of a Taoist priest in a green robe running. It seemed that he was above the desert in Tianshui, leading a strange sheep-beast with dark yellow eyes and a golden snake coiled on its horns.

In just a moment, he sensed two extremely familiar auras. Without changing his expression, he looked at the people present. When his eyes fell on Liu Xingfang, the disciple immediately stepped forward and waited for his orders.

"Calm everyone down, I'll be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xuan's figure disappeared into the void, leaving only the sound of thunder.

It was the first time for him to walk in the void with his Purple Mansion body. With the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, his speed was extremely fast, which surprised Tiantuo. In just a few breaths, he reached above Tianshui.

Several gazes were cast at this place at once, but he seemed unaware of them and gently raised his hand. Wei Fengnian, who was flying below with the help of talismans, was immediately stopped. Countless thunders came out of thin air and pierced his body, causing him to wail and fall into the clouds, and was captured by Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan stepped out, summoned the sheep and the snake, and activated his magical powers. The grave sheep gradually transformed into a human form. Xu Fayan opened his eyes, saw the newcomers, and immediately understood the situation.

"Master."

The little brocade-scaled snake couldn't transform back, which made Xu Xuan feel depressed. He was about to ask the Taoist in green robe something.

At this time, the void was broken open, and the green and yellow Dharma light of Yuntu flowed. A Taoist priest in sand-yellow robes walked out from it. His eyebrows and eyes were the same as those of the Taoist priest Dihuang, but he had a sense of righteousness.

"I am Wei Xiuwen of the Qingwu Dao [Rang'an]. Fellow Daoist, that's enough."

His tone was calm, as if he had already made a lot of concessions. He held a red pen in his hand, and Li Huo was raging.

There were all kinds of strange phenomena around this person. The crops were abundant and the granaries were full. Green and yellow lights lifted up a red flying fish with a pair of wings, a white head and a red beak. Its body was spotted with gray spots and it cried like a phoenix.

"It's a Wenyu, one of the creatures created from the earth."

Tian Tuo saw the other party's origin and instantly understood why he came to find Xu Fayan.

"Return my disciple to his original form."

Xu Xuan held the sword and spoke in a low voice, while the Rang An Zhenren said coldly:

"You mean this [Cloud Ringed Jade Snake]? Its life has been completely changed, how can it be restored? You are just a little Qi Refiner, what do you want to argue with me about?"

Hearing this, Xu Xuan's face showed no joy or sadness, he just raised Wei Fengnian's sword. The Taoist Dihuang was looking at the person who suppressed him and was almost in disbelief.

Lightning surged, and all the restrictions planted in Wei Fengnian's body were immediately broken. His flesh and blood were charred by the silver lightning, and he howled miserably.

"It's you--"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Xuan had already activated the [Six Paths of Transformation], and made the green locusts on the opponent's body manifest. The Taoist's body quickly changed and turned into a green insect, landing on the tip of the sword.

"stop!"

Rang An shouted loudly, saying:

"You've just broken through, your realm is unstable, and your sword will hasn't been refined into supernatural power. Do you really want to fight?"

He revealed his cultivation level. Although it was just a magical power, combined with Wen Yuyun's luck and a set of spiritual weapons, it was far more than just a magical power. Naturally, he had the confidence to suppress the opponent.

Xu Xuan said nothing and handed the green worm to the person behind him. Xu Fayan took it with deep disgust in his eyes. [Xuan Yang Yi Yuan Ding Guang] changed, and the worm instantly turned into a pile of flying ash.

He raised his head at this moment, his yellow eyes dim, staring only at the real person Rang'an.

Rang'an's eyes were cold and he tore off his disguise. The righteousness on his face was gone. Just as he was about to say something else, a sword light mixed with thunder came towards him.

The magical powers were activated, the spiritual weapons were activated, and the light of the earth covered the entire desert, pressing down like a landslide or tsunami. However, the silver-white sword light slashed out without any hindrance, thunder was generated, and clouds gathered in the sky, gradually turning into a heavenly punishment.

The sword intent was slashed out, combining with the supernatural power. Every thunder in the sky contained pure sword intent to break away disasters. [Si Tian Jie] was completely integrated with it, giving rise to new wonders.

Only at this moment did Rang'an show a look of genuine surprise. Even for a sword immortal to break through, there must be a process of refining the sword intent into supernatural powers before the magical sword intent can be truly born. How could the other party do that just after a breakthrough?

He had no choice but to activate a precious curtain, on which were painted three beasts: the red pig, the spotted ray and the green locust, which were exactly three of the four symbols of Yuntu. A misty green-yellow light rolled up, and scenes of war, famine and other scenes appeared, hiding his figure within.

Xu Xuan silently comprehended the magic of sword intent. The [Direct Interpretation of the Hebi Sword] in the Fengxuan Sword Classic did not require any cultivation of intent. After breaking through the magical power, he could naturally integrate it and create something magical.

[Bijie] is the sword of punishment, so it is unavoidable and untouchable. If [Tianshu] is the fastest sword in the world, then this sword intent inherited from Leigong is unavoidable and will hit the target as soon as it comes out.

Rang'an's figure appeared among the various images of the earth, and was easily captured by Xu Xuan. The sword intent cut through his body without any hindrance, and the protective light of the law was broken. At the same time, the heavenly calamity that had been accumulating above for a long time descended.

Lightning spread, and the sand and stones in the desert, after being baptized by thunder, have turned into some kind of pure white crystal, which contains thunder properties.
In a deep pit stretching for several miles, the silver thunder dissipated, Rang'an's body was shattered, and his true spirit was protected by the treasure curtain, but it was also cut into pieces by the sword intent. Only a wisp remained, fleeing to the north.

Xu Xuan held the sword and was about to attack again, but at this moment he heard a voice coming from his heart, like the collision of metal and stone.

"Destroying his Dharma body is enough. There's also Wei Zhaojia from Qingwu Dao who's already here. If the two of them join forces, you won't get any good results."

The voice was quite familiar, and Xu Xuan knew who it was instantly. It was the master of the Cangjin Dao from Tifeng Mountain, [Rusu]. The other party's voice was cold, but it revealed a hint of kindness.

No sound was heard after that. Xu Xuan did not show any abnormality. He used his supernatural powers to calm the thunder in the desert, and then stepped into the void with his disciples.

"Congratulations, Master, on achieving supernatural powers."

Xu Fayan's voice was respectful, his expression unremarkable, the emerald snake entwined around his wrist. Within a few breaths, the two of them were back at the mountain gate. Seeing that everything had settled, Xu Xuan ascended to the heavens, only to find the vast void empty, devoid of a single soul. The previous Immortals had long since departed.

A golden wind rose, and a golden-robed immortal came running from afar. He looked elegant and noble, yet also had a bit of a dandy air. He carried a golden-scaled black sword on his back. He was none other than Wanjin Zhenren of the Taizhen Sect.

Xu Xuan looked at him without saying a word, which made Wan Jin feel uneasy. However, he still said:

"Fellow Daoist, if you can achieve supernatural powers, then I won't have worked in vain."

As he spoke, he lifted up his left sleeve. On his Dharma body, numerous blood-black scars had already appeared, burned by karmic fire and corroded by the Wu light. He continued tentatively:
"I, Tai Zhen, had no choice but to do this. I put in a lot of effort to protect several core disciples of your sect, and used my Tai Zhen Qi to make up for it."

"As for Qi Refining and Fetal Breathing, you can't blame my Di Family for gathering enough human blood for the sacrifice. The number is indispensable."

As he spoke, he lightly tapped, and a burnt incense stick suddenly appeared from above the Tianli. The energy of Gengjin spread out, faintly connecting with the foundation-building people in the sect.

Xu Xuan communicated with Tiantuo in his heart and confirmed that what Wan Jin said was true. No wonder when the Basilisk was rampant before, several foundation-building cultivators in the sect were seriously injured, but they did not die. It can be said that the core was saved.

He looked at the man, was silent for a while, and finally thanked him. He could clearly distinguish between all kinds of gratitude and grudges. There was nothing to blame for Wan Jin's efforts.

"The northern part of Dali is mostly ruled by my Taizhen and Qinghua sects. Now Chiyun is also under the jurisdiction of my sect. If you achieve the Purple Mansion, you can take charge of this place."

Wan Jin's expression relaxed a little. Seeing that the other party was willing to communicate, this was a good thing. He had spent a lot of money to light a [Gengwu Lingxiang] in advance to protect Xu Xuan's sect and to settle the previous grudges.

After all, Taizhen had never directly targeted this person, but was just helping out and was involved in it, so there was still room for mediation.

Xu Xuan saw Wan Jin's injuries from the fire and the spiritual incense, and said:

"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, what is the attitude of the Song family?"

Wan Jin saw the other party talking about this matter, his expression became a little serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"I was just about to talk to you, fellow Taoist. The Song family will naturally tolerate you as long as you stay in the Xuan Lei Division. But Fu Chen is different. You have just made a breakthrough and already have a grudge against this family. Counting this time, isn't it another layer?"

"Master Ling Jing is a sinister person with a bad reputation. You will understand later that it was he who ordered the killing of Chong Yangzi in your temple."

Xu Xuan's heart sank. No matter whether the other party was from the Jindan Xianzong or not, if it was really this person who gave the order, he would kill him and report it to the Ji Shimen.

"What Fuchen wants is to seize Bing's light, which means that you should sever your ties with Fengxuan. However, as long as Hengguang doesn't appear, this family, in order to maintain their safety, may suspect that you possess the power of a True Lord."

"Taizhen has always been at odds with Fuchen, and my master has a deep grudge against Lingjing. Fellow Daoist, you might want to think more about the relationship. In the final analysis, Taizhen has no conflict with your sect."

Wan Jin's words were quite sincere. Considering his origin from the Immortal Sect, it was rare for him to be so humble. It was also because Xu Xuan's sword was too terrifying. He had just broken through and killed Rang'an, who was transformed from Wen Yu.

This is the Shelei Sword Immortal, and he broke through using ancient methods. You should know that the Lei Palace inheritance is mostly ancient techniques, and its power is far greater than today's. The other party's future is naturally limitless.

"I understand what you said, fellow Daoist."

Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and now he understood the cause and effect. In the end, Fu Chen was under the greatest pressure.

Wan Jin hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and continued:

"I have another question today, could you please answer it?"

Xu Xuan nodded, and saw Wan Jin's face darken a little. He sacrificed the golden scale, and the Gengjin magic light illuminated the place. He activated his supernatural powers, locked the two of them in, and was very careful.

"When you broke through, did you sense that master from the North Sea?"

He seemed extremely apprehensive and even dared not to mention the honorific name lightly, but Xu Xuan knew who he was talking about.
True Lord Xuan Hun, the second owner of the Zhen Lei fruit position, can be said to be the oldest among all the True Lords. Now he lives outside the sky with Lei Ze, and the North Sea is his temple.

"Some special destiny has descended, seemingly a remnant of the Great Shu Heaven Sacrifice."

He did not tell the whole story, but told it half-truthfully. He said that he became a celestial being by borrowing the luck from the heaven sacrifice, and that was why it was manifested in the scroll.

Wan Jin's expression calmed down a bit, still a little puzzled, but he did not ask any more questions. He dispersed his magical power and said,

"If you, Daoist friend, hold a Dharma assembly and rebuild the mountain gate, I will definitely come to visit you and we can discuss it in detail then."

His words were quite meaningful. He only mentioned himself, but did not represent the Taizhen Sect. Xu Xuan thanked him, and then saw that this Wanjin Zhenren had left and disappeared in a flash.

At this time, there was peace in the void. After Xu Xuan's magical power was initially formed, the strange feeling of being in charge of the heart of the sky dissipated. Various emotions surged up, but he swallowed them all.

He carefully took out a ball of fire, which turned golden and red, and inside it was a soul sleeping quietly.

Returning to the mountain gate, he looked at the ruins. A hundred or so disciples had already started rebuilding, cleaning up the corpses, and excavating the relics. He showed up, and these people looked at the brilliance of the magical powers, gradually forgetting the previous disasters, and seemed to be able to see a bright future in the lightning.

In the sea of qi, the clear air surged and met with the heavenly palace. The ancient stele was manifested from the realm of Tao at this time and hung in the inner scene created by the supernatural power.

Xu Xuan's mind was trembling. Tiantuo also walked out of the sea of flowers at this time, watching the ancient stele completely manifest from the clear air.

The whole body is made of white jade, and it is as tall as a person. The originally wordless stele finally changed with the surge of clear air, and two words slowly appeared on it.

【Taiqing】.

On the bluestone at the base of the ancient monument, there is a fierce sword energy, which is exactly the same as [Tian Bing] and [Chong Yang], but more mysterious, unrestrained, not within the five elements, and free from yin and yang.

On the bluestone, there is a line of words engraved, which is the origin of the sword energy.

"This is the first manifestation of Xuan Qi, existing before the creation of the world."

Tiantuo looked at the ancient stele with his golden eyes shining brightly, lost in thought for a long time. It was not until today that he truly guessed the origin of this thing. It was indeed the manifestation of Xuanqi, and even ranked first.

Xu Xuan suddenly felt a great fear in his heart. He remembered what the Chaos God who lived in Lei Ze said when he broke through.

"Borrowing the beginning to seek mysteries."

As he pondered these words, a deep chill arose in his heart, even dispelling all his sadness and anger. Only a sense of doubt remained, lingering in his heart.

"I am Xu Xuan."
