Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 332 The Big Picture
In the vast sky, the fragrance of incense and gold diffuses.

Xu Xuan stepped into the sacred path, and silver thunder surged and changed constantly. The God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning, as well as the heavenly soldiers and immortal generals, saw him coming and all bowed down in submission and were extremely respectful.

In front of him was the Punishment Seal on the Dou Shu. This magic weapon from the Thunder Palace penetrated the void, like a mountain suspended in the air, with the scenes of the three realms of heaven, earth and man all on it. Divine thunder surged, for the Teng Snake, for the gods, for all kinds of swords, axes and halberds. The slightest hint of murderous aura made Xu Xuan's body feel cold.

Only after truly breaking through the Purple Mansion did he realize the power of this magic weapon. Even though it was protected by the divine position and the Thunder Seal had not yet revived, it was still so powerful.

If Zi Fu of the Thunder Department did not return and was slightly touched by the aura, his body would have collapsed and his soul would have been shattered. At this time, only a golden body of divine thunder remained on the Thunder Seal, standing in the middle, representing the human world.

"I've met senior."

Xu Xuan greeted him. He had already inquired about the identity of the person in front of him. He was one of the two Purple Mansions of the Xuan Lei Department and the actual master. His Taoist name was [Weihua], Song Yuanxing. According to his seniority, he should be the son of Taizu and should be about four hundred years old.

The other party is of a very high generation and deserves the title of senior.

"The Heavenly Thunder Envoy has achieved the Purple Palace. My Xuan Lei Department was going to send someone to congratulate him, but we were busy with other matters and were delayed."

Weihua's figure emerged from the golden body, lifted up by divine thunder. He now came walking in the air, wearing a golden armor with mountain patterns, and thunder condensed on his phoenix-wing helmet. His face was blurred and could not be seen.

Golden and white thunder surged around the two of them, and their magical powers were activated, spontaneously covering themselves. Weihua's voice sounded a little old, but full of energy and quite majestic.

"I invited you here to discuss your promotion. Since you have already achieved the Purple Mansion and the position of Heavenly Thunder Messenger, it would be a bit of a waste of your talent."

Xu Xuan listened quietly. If he hadn't asked for the skills, he naturally wouldn't have wanted to get too entangled with the Xuan Lei tribe. But the other party had obviously anticipated this and wanted to tie him to the Dali Lei tribe even more.

"There is a position of [Xuan Fa Lei Pan] that needs to be held in the community. It is just right for you to take this position. You will also be the leader of the Five Directions Thunder Envoys and have the power to mobilize the troops of my Thunder Department."

As he spoke, Weihua lightly tapped, and saw the golden energy of incense falling from the void, the power of faith condensed, and a certain great force was added to Xu Xuan, making his supernatural powers more and more smooth.

"After all, it is by imitating the Thunder Palace that the priesthood in the Mysterious Thunder Department can actually improve the supernatural power."

Xu Xuan understood clearly that the Xuan Lei Shen Department was built to carry the fortune of the country of Dali. Even though the country of Dali was not as powerful as Dazhou in terms of distance, and not as powerful as Dafeng in terms of proximity, it was built to pacify the troubled times, so the effectiveness of the Thunder Department was naturally extraordinary.

"God of Thunder, come and fetch the divine weapon and hand it over to the Thunder Judge."

As he spoke, he saw the Thunder Messenger from before step forward. Xu Xuan used his magical powers at this time to see the other person's appearance clearly. He was of burly build and had a military aura, but his face was covered in bloodstains and his facial features were completely dissolved, which was extremely horrifying.

This person came forward riding on thunder, holding a purple lightning spirit drum in his hand. On it was a Kuiniu and mysterious wind and thunder patterns. The aura of merit was diffused. It was very different from a spiritual weapon and seemed to be more independent.

"This [Kui Zhen Tian Yin Drum] is a divine artifact. It holds incense and is purified by the energy of merit. It is similar to the precious artifacts of Buddhist cultivators, but its magical uses far surpass them."

"When activated, it only consumes Shinto faith. It requires a divine position to use. Even if you are at the foundation building stage, you can use it to fight against the Buddhist Vajra."

"Now that you are the Judge of Thunder, you can summon a [Mysterious Punishment Guard] and impart your faith power to activate this device."

Xu Xuan took the drum with a normal expression. After a slight perception, he found that the power of this thing was constant. The power of this thing was not much different between those in the early and late stages of Purple Mansion. Even those in the foundation-building stage could still exert most of its effectiveness.

But the most crucial use is to allow the envoy who has established his foundation to be almost regarded as a Vajra of Vow Power. This is the essence of the Dali Thunder Tribe, and Xu Xuan understood it clearly.

"Thank you, Kamibō."

Xu Xuan already had a plan in mind. The Tianlei Temple could originally support thirty-six heavenly soldiers. After the Chiyun Demon Rebellion, it was already full. Now he could summon the divine guards, so it was just right for Xingfang to take charge.

"They are sending gifts. It seems the Thunder Department really wants to win me over."

He was certain that this Thunder Drum was far more important than any other spiritual weapon. If he had to leave the mountain for any reason, the cultivators could protect themselves with this drum and the help of the Purple Mansion Formation. Wei Hua smiled calmly and spoke at this moment, looking at the Divine Thunder Messenger who was serving beside him with a rather kind attitude.

"You can step back first."

The other party responded and left without saying a word.

Xu Xuan was a little curious. Now he was the leader of the five thunder envoys. Most of the people in Zhen, Xiao and Ling knew his origins, as well as the Yin Leishan, Shangxiao Sect and Dali Danniao lineage. Only this divine thunder envoy knew nothing about the situation.

"I wonder where this person was promoted to the Shinto path?"

He sounded doubtful. The Five Directions Thunder Envoy was an extremely important position. Dali obviously intended to select five promising people from the Purple Mansion and grant them honorary positions so as not to delay their cultivation.

The two of them were standing on the thunder at this time, watching the changes in the incense in the void, faintly revealing the scenes of the human world. Weihua sighed lightly, as if he remembered something, the divine thunder changed, and weapons clashed.

"You can call him Li Zu. He was originally a general of my Dali border army. Unfortunately, he ran into the witch of the Northern Liao Pure Land of Great Joy and Desire, and was stripped of his face and true name by the light of Mara."

"Now, thanks to the incense from the Thunder Department, I can move around like a normal person."

"The Pure Land of Great Joy and Desire, I wonder what kind of doctrine it is? It's so perverse."

Being able to steal the face and real name, even Master Weihua seems to have no way to cure it. This method is quite horrifying. Xu Xuan has no idea about the immortal way of Bei Liao, so it's a good opportunity to ask.

"This is the dojo of the True Demon Bodhisattva, also known as the Great Joyful Heaven. He is the condensation of the demonic nature of water, and is at the level of a golden elixir. He corresponds to the Holy Merciful Yuanmu at the extreme point of the South China Sea."

"Speaking of which, this group is currently operating in the territory close to the Six Prefectures. It's possible that Lei Pan will have to fight with them in the future."

Xu Xuan felt a little worried when he heard this. After all, it was a sect of the Golden Core level. If it really went south, and it was a demonic sect, what would happen?
"There's no need to worry too much. Now that the Divine Way has been established, Dali is no less capable than Northern Liao." Wei Hua spoke firmly, his aura rising. "Our dynasty is not building the Divine Way for personal gain. If the Northern Liao alien race were allowed to move south, all the people of our country, except for a few immortal sects, would be enslaved and at their mercy."

"The Emperor has the ambition to bring peace to the world, so he swept away the chaotic world and established Dali. Otherwise, after opening up the cave, he could just establish a sect and govern a clan. Why bother?"

"Xu Xuan, I know you have resentment towards the Di family, but my Thunder Department was not established just for the Song family. You should know that in these years in the border areas, the most deaths have been among the Dulihuo cultivators."

Wei Hua's voice was sincere, and he seemed even older at this moment. The divine thunder was dim, and his white hair was faintly visible.

"Governing a country is no child's play. Most of the time, in order to consider the overall situation, some people have to be sacrificed. Even in the Zifu of my own Song family, there are people who are willing to die."

"You may think the imperial court is cold and harsh, but it is the one who truly supports the Dali territory and protects the people."

Wei Hua spoke in a solemn tone, the golden air of incense and candles in the sky fell, and many voices of prayers came from the mortal world, all chanting the name of Dali.

"It is still my Dali Song family, not this group of immortals."

Xu Xuan had a calm expression, neither happy nor sad, as he looked at Wei Hua. This leader of the Xuan Lei Department was having a genuine heart-to-heart talk with him, touching upon the overall situation, yet it was difficult for him to respond.

"I can distinguish between gratitude and resentment. I will do my best to help the Thunder Department, but I will never forget Chi Yun's matter in my life."

The silver thunder dissipated, and Xu Xuan's figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only the silver thunder piercing the sky.

Wei Hua was silent for a while, and the divine thunder dissipated. Under the armor was an old face with white hair and beard, and a serious gaze.

Just for a moment, he had an illusion. He felt that the person in front of him seemed to be standing at the same level as the [Dou Shu Upper Punishment Seal]. No, even higher, overlooking the entire Dali Lei tribe.
