Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 38 Da Mingze

[Dongyuan] is a world opened up by ancient great saints, and is the place where the spirits of monsters reside.

Just as the sky is divided into regions, the area where Xu Xuan came from corresponds to several counties near Dali Chiyun.

Just as he was about to walk out of the original stone mountain and pass through the door to enter, the voice behind Xu Xuan forced him to stop.

Turning around, he saw a woman wearing a peach-red skirt and apricot-yellow waist. She was pretty and had no signs of being a demon, except for a few red feathers growing by her ears.

"This is a Fire Crow, also a noble species, but far inferior to me."

Tiantuo was still commenting, but Xu Xuan didn't know how to respond and was very panicked.

The woman opposite did not say anything when she saw the green dragon in front of her. She just thought that the other party was a person with a strange temper. However, since he came from the top road, he must be of a bloodline with a long history and invaluable value.

Her lineage was in charge of this ferry crossing, and seeing that Xu Xuan was somewhat mysterious, she came to try to make friends with him.

"Stop talking. How should I answer?"

Xu Xuan saw that many monsters around him were looking at him curiously, and it was obviously not appropriate to leave at this time.

"You said you were from Damingze and your name was Mu Youdu, and she understood."

Tian Tuo's words sounded very confident, and Xu Xuan replied:

"My name is Mu Youdu, and I'm from Damingze. What can I do for you, fellow Taoist?"

After saying that, Tiantuo in Xu Xuan's body used some kind of magic to make a piece of scales on Xu Xuan's neck emit a strong dark Yin light.

The woman in the red dress opposite was stunned. The inverse scales exclusive to Damingze couldn't be more real. She immediately became more respectful and said softly:
"So you are a noble descendant from Mingze Dragon Court. This lineage lives in seclusion in caves and few people come out to walk. It is truly fate that I meet you, fellow Taoist."

"My name is Yang Yuanxin. This ferry crossing in Liguo is now under the care of my clan, Bingri Fengyan Ya, so I have a few more questions."

Xu Xuan just nodded, with lightning lingering between his jade horns and his green scales emitting bright light. There was no demonic aura on his body, but instead he looked mysterious and otherworldly.

Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Yang Yuanxin on the opposite side thought that he had offended him, so he stepped forward with a smile, the red feathers on his temples moved slightly, and handed over a red jade token.

"Fellow Daoist Youdu, when you go out, you will reach Shanyan City, which is my family's territory. Bring this [Xingyan Order] and enter, and someone will come to greet you."

"I have business to attend to, and will be here soon. Then let me show my hospitality."

After saying this, Yang Yuanxin personally escorted Xu Xuan out of the Black Wood Taoist Gate. This person was interested in making friends, so he smiled and asked Xu Xuan to come over next time and that they must get together again.

'I finally got away with it.'

When Xu Xuan went out, he still felt his heart beating non-stop. When Yang Yuanxin came over, a big demon looked at him.

He was probably Yang Yuanxin's elder. If he wasn't at the Purple Mansion stage, he was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Just one glance at him made Xu Xuan feel a mountain of pressure.

"What's the origin of this Damingze? Will there be any trouble if we use their banner?"

The accidental transmission just now made Xu Xuan understand Tiantuo's unreliability. He immediately remembered this key point, fearing that he would be held accountable in the future.

"You can use this family's name without worrying about it. No one will come after you. They might even be eager for someone to use the Damingze name to do things."

Tiantuo assured him that he was very familiar with the Daming Lake and would never make a mistake.

As for how credible his words were, Xu Xuan remained skeptical for the time being.

When I went out, I saw a pale wilderness with dead trees and weeds, and gusts of mournful wind. Not far away was a city, completely black, with a city gate that looked like a beast's mouth wide open, deep and ferocious.

"Why did you come to this place?"

Xu Xuan was a little confused. Although he came here to get some information, when he finally arrived, he found himself in darkness and had no idea where to go.

"Of course it's for the whereabouts of your technique."

Tian Tuo smiled sinisterly and said mysteriously:
"This [Dongyuan] is not like the Dongtian, and you can't bring any real objects here, but information from various families is circulated here. Even if [Zhenlei] is rare, you can still find some traces of it."

Xu Xuan didn't expect that this old demon was so thoughtful, so he continued to ask:
"You said this place is well-informed, but where should we go now?"

Tian Tuo was a little impatient and said in a deep voice:
"See that token in your hand?"

"The Fire Crow gave you this item. Someone will come to greet you when you enter the city."

After saying this, Tiantuo urged Xu Xuan to enter the city.

The city gate was old, with countless scars of swords and weapons, traces of thunder and fire, and a lot of blood that had dried up and accumulated into a dark red color. The two words "Shan Yan" above the city gate looked a bit dazzling under the light of the sun and the moon.

"If this land is not spiritual, how could there be war?"

Xu Xuan looked at the traces on the city wall, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Although they are spiritual creations, these cities are not based on the real world."

"This Shanyan City is in Dali. You just haven't heard of it. It's a sacred place for the demon race, ruled by the Fire Crow. Although they are now on good terms with the immortals, they fought a great war there in the past."

Tiantuo said in a surprised tone that Xu Xuan should hurry into the city without any delay.

Entering the city, it is not much different from an ordinary city, except that the shop owners and pedestrians have become all kinds of monsters.

The [Flame Order] emitted a glow, and indeed, an old servant came forward and respectfully led Xu Xuan to a treasure building and into an elegant pavilion.

This place is called [Qiyu Tower], which is the private property of the Fire Crow lineage in this city. It can be called a treasure land.

Xu Xuan entered and sat inside. It was a quiet little pavilion, without any noise.

I don't know how long it took, but Yang Yuanxin finally showed up. When he entered, he smiled brightly, but it was hard to tell how much of a calculation he had in mind.

Xu Xuan could see clearly that the other party probably wanted something from him, which was why he was so enthusiastic.

Yang Yuanxin first said:

"Brother Dao, what brings you here? My place is quite remote."

Tian Tuo said to Xu Xuan:

"Just tell him you want to try to complete your cultivation technique and ask him if he knows the whereabouts of the immortal foundation cultivation technique, the [Ripping Heart Pool]."

[Pool of Tribulation] is the immortal foundation that Xu Xuan achieved through practicing the "Zhen Yao Questioning Spirit Method", but no one knows what the higher immortal foundation of this method is called.

Xu Xuan asked according to Tiantuo's instructions. Yang Yuanxin on the opposite side seemed to be thinking about something and whispered:

"I heard that most dragons practice the three paths of [Spiritual Thunder], [Gui Water], and [Han Water]. It's rare to see you practicing [Thunder]."

Tiantuo asked Xu Xuan to pretend, and Xu Xuan acted as if he had something to hide, and Yang Yuanxin opposite him seemed to understand something.

"I see that although this person has the [Xuan Yin Ni Scale], he is undoubtedly from Damingze, but the scales are green, not gray. Could it be that he is the offspring of some adulterer who was promiscuous and cannot cultivate the true teachings, so he has to take some lesser paths?"

Yang Yuanxin's fiery red pupils flashed, and he seemed to have figured out the origin of the other party. No wonder this person, although he took the most ancient and noble road, had difficulties coming to this remote place.

At that moment the woman said:

"Excuse me for being frank, but Brother Dao is in a bit of a dilemma because of his background?" Xu Xuan was not sure what to say, so he could only nod and agree.

Yang Yuanxin on the opposite side had already determined Xu Xuan's identity. He was a dragon son with impure blood, who was ostracized by the main lineage and whose martial arts were difficult to find. But after all, he was born in Damingze, and his status was noble, far superior to hers.

Besides, if a dragon son really came, she was not worthy to go forward to get to know him. But she could make friends with the one in front of her, which would also increase her influence in the clan.

"I'm traveling around just to find this technique to pave the way for the future. After all, my current situation is still a bit embarrassing."

Xu Xuan continued speaking along with Yang Yuanxin's words, his expression melancholy, even the clear light of the jade horns on his head dimmed a little.

"I think that although Brother Dao is from the Dragon Court, he also has difficulties. I am only two hundred years old, so I should be much younger than you. Brother Youdu can just call me by my name."

Yang Yuanxin had never seen a dragon son who was so easy to talk to. The last time she had the honor of meeting one from the East China Sea, the other party didn't take her seriously at all.

Seeing Xu Xuan so kind, she became more certain of the person sitting across from her, who was a perennially frustrated and down-and-out member of the clan. Her words became more intimate, with an intention of winning him over.

"Yuanxin, do you have any information about this? I have been searching for it for a long time. Thunderbolt is rare nowadays. I had no choice but to practice this technique."

"If I don't cultivate this, I'm afraid that some of my peers in the clan will not tolerate me."

Xu Xuan's words were full of hatred. Yang Yuanxin, who was standing opposite him, obviously felt that this was exactly what she had guessed, and immediately comforted him:

"Brother Dao, don't worry. Speaking of the Thunder Dao technique, there has been some movement in the country recently."

Xu Xuan was shocked. He didn't expect to be asked this question. He whispered:

"Yuanxin, you may have some connections. This is my first time away from home, and I don't know the current situation. Could you tell me something?"

The woman in the red dress opposite said coquettishly:

"Brother, don't worry. I'm busy with something here and need your help. It's related to the technique."

Xu Xuan's face was serious, and the scales on his neck were emitting a dark light. He whispered:

"Good sister, just tell me the answer, and I will agree to any request you make."

Yang Yuanxin smiled, came forward and whispered:

"It's a cave heaven. According to legend, it has a connection with the Thunder Palace. It's called [Surge Tribulation Heaven]. It's about to fall."

"There are already several palaces on the outskirts that are about to open. Each family wants to send people in. First, they will send people to practice the skills there until they reach the foundation. When the cave is truly opened, the benefits will be endless."

"If you are interested, I will introduce you to our elders and discuss the matter. If the elders behind you, Brother Youdu, agree, we can come in together."

Yang Yuanxin was a little nervous. There were spiritual objects that her clan must seek in this [Surging Tribulation Heaven], but most of her clan practiced the virtue of fire, so how could they practice thunder? Although they had found some monsters now, they were of no use.

Xu Xuan in front of him has noble bloodline and is at the late stage of Qi Refining. His aura is strong, but his background is a bit sensitive. If he had no background and practiced this way, he would have been captured and trained long ago.

Xu Xuan frowned. He had heard of the cave heaven before. It was something of the golden elixir level. How could he, a Qi-refining cultivator, get involved in it?

There must be a Purple Mansion Demon King among Yang Yuanxin's clan, but behind him is only a half-buried Tiantuo.

"Promise her that I have a way to deal with it. Don't worry, there are a lot of good things in that [Yongjietian]." Tiantuo screamed, and the voice sounded in Xu Xuan's mind.

Xu Xuan had no choice but to follow Tian Tuo's advice. This matter concerned his life, so he hoped that the old demon wouldn't make any mistakes. Then he asked in a deep voice:

"This matter is easy to discuss. My lord is also somewhat interested, but it is inconvenient for him to move around right now. I'm afraid I will have to do it on his behalf."

Yang Yuanxin's face was filled with joy, and he said with a smile:

"Okay, okay. My elder is still traveling and will be back in a month. When he comes, you can come to Shanyan City in Chonghua County. It's just west of Chiyun County, near the border of Qingzhou."

"Then we can prepare to enter the several palaces outside and snatch the scriptures."

The two chatted for a while, laughing and talking happily. Suddenly, Xu Xuan remembered something and asked again:
"I was traveling in Li Country and saw something interesting about the Yuliu Mountains. I wonder which sect cultivates here?"

Yang Yuanxin was a little surprised when Xu Xuan asked about this, but still answered:
"That's where snakes live. I heard there are two fairies, Qing and Bai, practicing here. The older one is called Fairy Bai Xuan, who is highly respected and has been in the Purple Mansion for many years. The other one is the Demon King Qing Ling, who is in the early stage of the Purple Mansion. This one is a little more difficult to describe."

"Oh, that's quite interesting. I wonder why this guy seems to have a bad reputation?"

Xu Xuan asked in a fake tone, while Yang Yuanxin beside him whispered:

"I heard that Qing Ling was originally promoted by Fairy Bai Xuan, but later followed the immortal path, and the two sides did not get along."

"The Shu Kingdom survivors in Chiyun are now being herded by the Qingling Demon King, who is driven by the immortal way."

"Speaking of which, the opening of [Surge of Tribulation Heaven] is also somewhat related to this matter."

Xu Xuan was a little excited, but he remained calm and asked nonchalantly:
"These immortals' schemes are so complicated, I've seen so little of them. Could Yuanxin help me clear up my confusion?"

The woman in the red dress opposite said with a somewhat annoyed smile:

"Brother, you are a curious person. Let me tell you about it."

"South of Chinan are the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom. I heard that there are still descendants of the emperor from that time. The true fruit of the [Wu Tu] path was exclusively held by the ancient Shu imperial family. After Shu was destroyed, this fruit position fell into the hands of the [Kun Wei Tian]."

"There were many reasons for the fall of ancient Shu, but in the end, it was us demons who rose up in arms and completely destroyed the country. However, Kun Weitian also disappeared from the world."

Xu Xuan was somewhat moved, vaguely grasping some key points, and asked:
"Yuan Xin is indeed very knowledgeable. He just supports a bunch of old and young people. What does it have to do with this cave?"

Yang Yuanxin on the opposite side looked somewhat smug and chuckled:

"Gather the old and young, and after building the foundation, we can gather the remaining national destiny. Then let the monsters attack again, and imitate the old ways. We can completely destroy the last bit of luck of ancient Shu and shake the Kunweitian."

"Several immortal sects are very interested in [Wu Earth]."

Xu Xuan's heart was in turmoil. He already understood his situation, but he didn't know how to break it. He remained calm and continued to ask:

"So that's what's going on. But what does [Surge of Heaven] have to do with this?"

Yang Yuanxin saw that Xu Xuan asked such in-depth questions, but since both parties were noble, it was okay to discuss these things, so he continued:

"The Wu Earth contains the two thunders, Zhen and Shen. This [Surge Tribulation Heaven] was originally created after the demise of the Thunder Palace. A branch of the inheritance fell into Shu. It was only after the descendants achieved the Golden Elixir that they were opened up."

"Now that Kunwei Heaven is shaken, the first to fall will naturally be Yongjie Heaven, which is deeply connected to Ancient Shu."

Everything became clear. All these things that were once like a mystery were revealed to Xu Xuan in an instant, just because of Tiantuo's operation and Yang Yuanxin's words.

Ultimately, it’s all because of Zifu.

Only Zifu is qualified to see the situation clearly, otherwise he will end up in a daze and commit suicide.

Tiantuo didn't say anything, but Xu Xuan had never longed for Zifu as much as he did at this moment.

"【Surge Tribulation Heaven】, let's see how to overcome the tribulation."

Xu Xuan sighed deeply, then smiled and chatted with Yang Yuanxin, but a flash of lightning appeared on the jade horn above his head, as if it was about to leave his body and fly straight into the sky.

　I'm going home today, I've been on the road, so I'm slow to update, sorry (●●)
