Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 339 Ming Yi
The eye of the sea at the extreme point of the South China Sea.

[The Holy Land of Great Salvation] is closed, with pure white spiritual light flowing from all directions, as thick as ointment, piling up on the sea surface, cutting off contact with the outside world and preventing people from spying.

Outside this water-transforming light, there are many cultivators riding the wind, wearing moon-white Taoist robes with patterns of green bamboo and golden carp. Each of them holds a formation flag and a compass to stabilize the Dharma light here.

The void was broken open, revealing a corner of brocade with a heavy purple dragon pattern, and then a half-dragon, half-human figure stepped out from it.

The jade horn is crystal clear, surrounded by lightning debris, and the end has nine branches, shaped like a crown. The reverse scales on the neck emit a mysterious light, and the sharp aura is breathtaking.

Where he stood, the sea water gradually turned deep purple, and thunders rose up like dense branches and vines in a forest.

The successive thunders made the monks outside the holy land look sideways, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment. When many monks saw that it was a dragon-type Zifu, most of them had strange expressions and did not dare to look directly at him.

Xu Xuan gazed into the distance, and through the thick water-transforming magic light, he could faintly see the Lingshan Taoist temple and ancient monasteries. Their structures were between those of immortals and Buddhists, and were not of the same kind as the Dali Immortal Path.

"This sea eye is the dojo of Yuanmu, the only place in the South China Sea where the golden elixir is located."

He stood quietly outside, his supernatural aura revealed, and then he saw a female cultivator in a moon-white cloth skirt walked out from the group of cultivators. She was surrounded by green tassels and held a jade bottle in her hand, with a new bamboo stuck in it.

Although the other party was at the foundation-building stage, his water-transforming technique was quite refined, and he was obviously a core successor, which made Xu Xuan look at him sideways.

"Greetings to the Dragon King of the Abyss Sea. I am An Youyu, the humble servant. I am currently in charge of the outer territories of the Great Universal Salvation Holy Land. I wonder what brings you here?"

An Youyu has a gentle demeanor, a soft voice, and has reached the late stage of foundation building. Facing a Dragon King and a Sword Immortal, even the Holy Land dare not neglect him.

A purple light flashed in Xu Xuan's eyes, inadvertently revealing a bit of the sinister aura unique to dragons and snakes, which put An Youyu under even greater pressure.

The woman just lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at the other party, but she had already recalled many ridiculous things about the dragon in her mind. In addition, she had a grudge against the dragon, so she didn't know why the other party came to her house?

One who lived nearby was Guangyu Longzi, who was notorious and had single-handedly made the already bad reputation of the dragon clan even worse.

"I heard that something had changed in your sect, and I was worried, so I came here. I wonder what the change is?"

An Youyu frowned slightly, but replied respectfully:

"Reporting to the Dragon King, I am currently battling with the Northern Liao [Pure Land of Great Bliss and Desire] across the vast void. Within the holy land, Mara has revealed himself, and the demons are causing chaos. We have sealed it off with formations, and no one can see it easily."

"Now, only the Purple Mansion is habitable in the Holy Land. All those who have built their foundation and practiced Qi have moved out and are obeying orders outside."

Xu Xuan looked at the light that turned into water, and could vaguely sense the fierce battle inside. The changes in the magic light of the heavenly demon made him feel the pure energy in his body.

"Nanhai Zifu, eighty to ninety percent of them have entered the formation. Is the situation really that critical?"

"[The Pure Land of Great Bliss and Desire] is actually in Northern Liao. How could it possess such magical powers that it forced your sect to seek assistance?"

Xu Xuan was surprised, but he spoke in a rather impolite manner, with a bit of dragon-like arrogance.

An Youyu's voice remained respectful. Holding the jade bottle, he raised his head and said, "My Lord, you don't know that this is the largest sea eye in the South China Sea, connecting to the Guixu. If no one suppresses it, the entire South China Sea will be destroyed. I have been guarding it all along."

"Back then, [True Lord Cihui Pudu] perished while pacifying Guixu, and was reborn into two bodies."

"In the past few years, in order to suppress the Sea Eye, many Purple Mansions have been lost in our sect. Now, the Great Immortal [Miao Lin] is in charge alone, and the ancestors rarely respond."

"If it were normal, the Great Immortal could suppress the Sea Eye with his magic weapon. However, the Northern Liao Demon has been coveting our sect for a long time. Whenever the Sea Eye riots, they often come to harass us. Therefore, we need the Purple Mansions of all families to come here to help."

Xu Xuan understood and couldn't help but feel some admiration for this sect. He had also heard of Guixu, which connected the two seas in the southeast and was the place where all the water in the world converged. It was extremely dangerous. He didn't expect that this family was suppressing it.

"I'm here to see Senior Daoyan. Please send a message for me, asking him to come here."

An Youyu accepted the order and did not dare to delay. He activated the jade bottle, and the clear water flowed, bypassing the layers of stacked water-transforming magic light.

After waiting for a long time, I saw the layers of jade-like Dharma light fluctuating, red fire flashed, and the magical power changed, and the shape of a fire crow appeared behind the light curtain.

An Youyu and other cultivators present retreated, not wanting to get involved in the affairs of the dragon seeds and the fire crows, for fear of offending these two.

The fire crow formed by the red flame trembled slightly, looking somewhat unreal. Chi Tong looked at it and saw Dao Yan speaking in a low voice.

"Youdu?"

Daoyan's eyes lit up. He had heard rumors before that Minghai's supernatural powers had broken through, and he knew that the dragon son had been born. Now that he saw it in person, he felt much more at ease.

【Jiang Lei Ze】is of the fifth rank, and has an extremely ancient origin. It is the talisman of the first master of Zhen Lei, and also has the appearance of a dragon.

Among the five methods of thunder and lightning, this one is the most suitable for the dragon species to break through. Moreover, with the Qingqi elixir, the breakthrough will naturally be worry-free.

The sword intent is a rare killing weapon in the Purple Mansion. In terms of power alone, only some sixth-grade spells can be compared to it. The pure-blooded dragon's body is also extremely powerful. Just based on these two things, even he would be a little afraid.

Xu Xuan told him everything that had happened recently, mainly Yang Yuanyi's breakthrough and Mu Wude's request for a meeting.

"Senior, when can you return? Yuan Yi's Demon Refining has not yet been completed. I'm afraid you need to go and take a look."

"He has been trapped in the Refining Demon Realm for many years, and I don't have any good solutions. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere in breaking through the Purple Palace. The most I can do is help him maintain his luck for a few minutes."

Daoyan seemed a little helpless. "Right now, I'm maintaining the formation, slaying the demonic nature, and stabilizing the Sea Eye. If I want to return to the mountain, it will probably take several months."

"Mu Wude's Dao name is [Wu Yan], he lives in Dapei Mountain in the West Sea, and practices [Drought is Cruelty]. Has he come here again? He sent monsters to Chonghua to ask for the skills back then, and now he's here again."

Xu Xuan's mind was slightly moved. It seemed that Mu Wude had asked to meet Huo Ya a long time ago, just for the matter of martial arts.

"I didn't want to have any contact with him. After all, my clan is close to the Yang family of Yanggu, and we are descendants of Emperor Zhuci. However, Mingshe's Dao was diverted, so he turned to cultivating the Dao of the Demon Lord Gaoyang. There are some taboos."

"Back then, the Demon Lord [Gaoyang] took advantage of the Sun's departure and the evil spirits of Bing Day to try to establish another Daoist lineage. Even though he failed, he left behind several techniques to serve as substitutes for Bing Fire."

"If [Bing Yang Yuan] doesn't cultivate evil spirits, and follows the intention of the sun setting in the west and falling into the abyss of the earth, it will become [Ming Yi Hui]. It belongs to the same lineage as [Han Wei A] and is a derivative of Bing Fire. You saw this Ming Snake. If he is really from Mingze, he must have the Purple Mansion skills of [Ming Yi Hui]."

"Breakthrough is the most important thing. There's no need to be shy about anything now. Exchange the technique with Wu Yan and give it to Yuanyi in his retreat cave. It's up to him to decide which path to take."

Xu Xuan agreed, but saw the light of the demon behind Taoyan become brighter, and many demons rushed out from the cracks in the void.

The demon king's expression grew serious. "You'd better be careful. Most of the Purple Mansions in the South Sea have already come here. Immortal Miao Lin has issued a decree in the name of the adults. Fighting is forbidden in the South Sea at this time. There is no need to worry about Tianchi.

After he finished speaking, he turned into red flames and burned all the evil light that spread for several miles behind him.

The water-transforming magic light rose again, completely covering the scene in the sea eye. Xu Xuan's eyes sank slightly, and then he stepped into the void and left this place.

"It seems Daoyan intends to use Mu Wude's request to see him to dissuade Yang Yuanyi from cultivating his evil spirits and let nature take its course. This, however, is not the orthodox way of the Fire Crow Clan." Xu Xuan sighed. [Bing Yang Yuan] isn't suitable for a direct breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, but it's very powerful in the Foundation Establishment realm. Yang Yuanyi had practiced this technique back then to fight in the Cave Heaven, but now he was stuck in the breakthrough.

If one really wants to switch to cultivating [Ming Yi Hui], the path will be much darker. How can it compare to the grand path of orthodox Bing Fire?

"[Ming Yi Luo Sha] is a divine omen for Jin Wu's second son, Gao Yang. The magical power [Ming Yi Hui] must have been born from the misfortune he encountered. If his rebellion had succeeded, the world might have been about to establish another Daoist lineage."

Xu Xuan now knew more about this person's deeds and felt even more wary.

Heading towards Fengyan Mountain, he looked through Taixu at the direction of Tianchi and sensed it slightly. Sure enough, there were only one or two magical auras. It seemed that most of the Zifu had also gone to the holy land.

After crossing the Ming Sea, they saw Feng Yan, but saw Yang Yuanxin waiting outside early. At this time, Yu Feng stepped forward and greeted Xu Xuan back to the mountain.

"What did the King Father say when we went there this time?"

Yang Yuanxin frowned slightly. With her father away and her brother in seclusion, the burden fell on her, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Xu Xuan told her what he had seen during this trip, and Yang Yuanxin could only sigh:

"The issue of the Holy Land concerns the entire South China Sea. Even with Immortal Miaolin holding the magic weapon, the situation remains the same. It seems the pressure from the [Pure Land of Great Bliss and Desire] is even greater."

“If they really let it break the Sea Eye Formation and connect it to Guixu, this sea area will no longer be safe to live in.”

"Since two high-ranking cultivators are here, we can rest assured. After all, the Great Universal Salvation Holy Land is a Jindan Dao lineage, and it won't collapse so easily."

Xu Xuan consoled him with a few words, "Now it's best to contact Mu Wude as soon as possible and exchange the [Ming Yi Hui] technique for him, and also find a way out for your brother."

"This [Wu Yan] Demon King has probably already heard about my brother's immortal base. He's so anxious to contact me now, I'm afraid he's already waiting for a good price."

Yang Yuanxin sighed and took out a letter. Xu Xuan took it and it was a reply from Mu Wude.

"[Wu Yan] has long admired the Minghai Dragon King. We are both from Mingze, and seeing a pureblood, I should submit."

This series of words were all compliments and courtesies, and he was extremely humble. It was not until the end that he mentioned the real business. He only said that he was injured in practicing his supernatural powers and could not leave the spiritual land at the moment. If Xu Xuan needed him, he could come to Dapei Mountain in the West Sea to meet him.

Finally, he tactfully mentioned that he wanted to exchange for the martial arts technique and hoped to meet a direct descendant of the Fire Crow.

"He's quite smooth, and the timing is perfect."

Xu Xuan casually destroyed the secret letter. It was obvious that Wu Yan had been planning this for a long time. He was probably waiting for the opportunity when Yang Yuanyi was in seclusion and Tao Yan was not around to ask for the martial arts skills.

"In that case, let's go to the West Sea, you and I, and see what this snake is up to. Great Immortal Miao Lin has issued a decree prohibiting fighting, and with the [Great Universal Salvation Holy Land] stepping in, no one in the South Sea dares to disobey. Furthermore, with Master Fei Xiang in charge, there's nothing to worry about."

Yang Yuanxin nodded, feeling a little anxious. His brother's condition had been getting worse these days. The dark evil was condensed and would not dissipate, and it was difficult to connect the day and the sun. It seemed that it was a luxury to achieve supernatural powers with the Binghuo Zhengfa. He could only turn to [Mingyi].

Of course, she hoped that her brother would practice the correct Dharma. The set of exercises in the Fire Crow Clan could directly lead to enlightenment.

King Bingyang of ancient Xia used this to seek gold. Even after his death, he left behind a ray of [Red Yuan Jie Fire], which gave birth to a new Bing Fire for the heaven and earth.

Not to mention that Lord Shang Guang is still breaking through in Yang Valley, relying on the Golden Crow. If the direct descendants of the Fire Crow follow the Mingyi path, it would naturally be a taboo.

Otherwise, my father should have exchanged the skills with Mu Wude long ago. Why wait until now? Isn’t it because he has some expectations for his brother?

"Western Sea."

Xu Xuan's heart was beating fast. The place he had chosen to move his clan to was right in the West Sea. Now was the opportunity to go and take a look.

"If you are going, you must prepare a spiritual weapon. The [Five Demon Life-devouring Halberd] is already being prepared. This weapon belongs to the dead Qi and has been sealed for a long time. Once it is used, it will require a period of rituals and refinement. You can wait for the spiritual weapon to revive before setting off."

Yang Yuanxin's eyes sparkled as she spoke of this matter. Together with Xu Xuan, she flew down from the clouds on the wind and landed on the main peak, arriving at the place where the Demon King Shangguang had been in seclusion in the past.

"Do you still remember this place?"

The Bing Fire transformed, and the red flames rose. The remaining magical power exuded a terrifying aura, and one could vaguely see the profound Taoism of the owner of this place.

"The old man's residence."

Xu Xuan was silent for a moment, and saw in the cave, there was a bronze altar of ancient structure. The light of the sun god and the red flames of Binghuo were intertwined, and it was awe-inspiring.

A spear and a halberd hung above the bronze altar.

The gilded Sky Spear hangs in the center of the altar, with both the sun and the Bing Fire element, and is engraved with the divine black Dao pattern. The terrifying Bing Fire magical power is condensed on the spear, connecting the entire Fengyan Mountain formation.

[Wei Ri Feng Yan Ge], a Bing Fire spiritual treasure, is the life weapon of the Shang Guang Demon King, and it is the embodiment of the life practice of this old demon king.

But the old demon king left the precious spear in the mountains and took away the [Tianwu Xunyang Bottle] instead, which made Xu Xuan feel a little worried. This spear was used to suppress the formation, but it could not be moved rashly.

As for the other halberd, it was made of bronze and engraved with five demonic patterns. There was a dark blue demonic light rising from it, and it was filled with murderous aura.

[Five Demons Life-devouring Halberd] is a mid-grade spiritual weapon of the Qi sect, with extraordinary power. It is currently in the process of being refined.

Xu Xuan took the halberd, grasped it, felt the various evil qualities in it, and suppressed them with thunder.

The true forms of the five demon heads were revealed, and demonic light surged. The halberd was about to backfire on its owner, and it hit Xu Xuan's consciousness, but it encountered the pure air that appeared on its own, and it surrendered instantly and stopped moving.

"Well, this weapon is extremely fierce. It will take a lot of effort to subdue it."

Before Yang Yuanxin could finish his words, he saw Xu Xuan holding the magic spear and manipulating it as if it were his own arm, instantly gathering all the magic light into it.

"It doesn't matter."

Even though Xu Xuan was not proficient in halberd techniques, he could now activate Lei Ze's Dharma body to take charge and use it.

"When I first saw that wrathful figure transformed from thunder, it also had three heads and six arms, each holding a magical instrument. This must be the right path."

The three heads and six arms of the Jade Blood Heavenly Heart Technique can activate multiple spells and spiritual weapons. As long as the magic power is sufficient, it can be activated at will.

Now he has the Hengyue Seal and the Daiqi Demon Halberd, two spiritual weapons. Even without the Purple Mansion Spirit Sword, he believes that he has no rivals in the early stage of Purple Mansion.

"Go to the West Sea and you can do whatever you want."

He clenched the magic spear in his hand, with murderous intent emerging in his eyes. The dark green magic light trembled slightly under the purple thunder.
