Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 39 Incarnation
Xu Xuan and Yang Yuanxin agreed on everything and decided to meet in Chonghua County, and then they were about to leave.

[Dongyuan] is not a place to stay for a long time after all. Xu Xuan said goodbye and Yang Yuanxin saw him off.

Sitting on the white jade platform, a white light flashed, and then he left this world and returned to the ancient road. At the other end was a bright blue portal, which was the place where consciousness returned.

Yang Yuanxin stood at the foot of the stone mountain, watching Xu Xuan walk away from the peak with a look of envy. Even she was not qualified to use the several roads on the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, a man came behind the woman in red dress. He looked somewhat like her, with red feathers on his temples and a captivating aura. He was clearly a high-level cultivator in the late foundation-building stage.

"Yuanxin, how true is what this Longzi said?"

The man was dressed in a dark ochre-red robe, looking elegant and noble. He looked in the direction where Xu Xuan left and asked in a low voice.

Yang Yuanxin on this side saw the newcomer and said with a smile:
"Brother Yuanyi, we finally found a good candidate this time."

Yang Yuanyi seemed uneasy, frowning and asked:
"It's been a long time since anyone has walked in the Great Ming Marsh. However, his [Xuan Yin Ni Scale] is real, but the color of the scales is different. It's really strange."

"If they are really from the Dragon Court, how dare we provoke them?"

Yang Yuanxin seemed to be somewhat confident, so he came over and said softly:
"I've tried to investigate. It's most likely the bloodline of some lord who's been away. I'm afraid he hasn't even entered the Dragon Court many times, so his knowledge is limited."

"But with his help, we can also connect with the masters of Damingze. They are also interested in [Surge Tribulation Heaven], so it's a good opportunity to join forces."

Yang Yuanyi seemed somewhat convinced, but still advised:
"We must ensure that this matter is foolproof. The [Surge of Heavenly Tribulation] fell without any warning, and the clan had no plan. We are missing the key to enter."

"Then let the elders of the clan take a look and make a definitive conclusion."

Yang Yuanxin agreed and looked at the jade platforms at the top of the stone mountain in a daze.

On the other side, Xu Xuan regained consciousness and arrived at the Juzhen Palace.

This trip took a lot of time, but I gained a lot and got a lot of information. The skills were secondary. The most important thing was to understand Chi Yunnan's plan.

"Tian Tuo, what do you think?"

Xu Xuan here intends to ask this old monster to see what to do next.

"This matter is not as difficult as you think. It is not a dead end. Otherwise, why are the families in Dajingyuan still forbearing? They would just self-destruct one by one."

Tian Tuo became serious for once, and said in a low voice:
"According to Yang Yuanxin, ancient Shu was defeated by demons."

"As the saying goes, 'The king dies for the country.' When the king dies, the subjects can surrender or flee."

"After you establish your foundation, Qing Ling will definitely raise an army again, but he won't necessarily kill you all. He just needs to hold out for a certain period of time and finish this scene."

After hearing this, Xu Xuan felt relieved. What he was thinking about now was how to avoid the disaster of demons after building his foundation.

"So, I'm basically safe before I build my foundation?"

"Not necessarily. Aren't there witches and sorcerers targeting you? This is really troublesome."

Tiantuo was unusually dejected. The situation in this place was indeed a mess and it was difficult to see clearly.

"The most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of your technique. It must be at least of the fourth rank or higher. Otherwise, with your current immortal foundation of the third rank technique, how can you even dream of seeking the Purple Mansion?"

"In a month, we will be going to Shanyan City. How can we hide our journey from the demons in our physical body?"

Xu Xuan asked what he cared about most. If he revealed his true identity, he would probably die on the spot.

Tian Tuo said in a low voice:

"Monsters can transform into humans, and humans can also transform into monsters. Normally, this kind of transformation can only be fully mastered by the Purple Mansion, but you possess the seal script and the Mysterious Dragon Luck, so I can use some tricks to achieve it."

"I have a secret technique called [Six Paths of Rebirth]. I originally had the idea of reincarnation and cultivation, so I specifically sought it out. Now, with the luck of the Mysterious Dragon, you can carve out an external body."

Xu Xuan's eyes lit up and he asked:

"But the method of incarnation."

"How can it be so simple? The outer body you cut out is just an artifact. Your spiritual consciousness can enter and control it, which is like multitasking at best."

"What should I prepare?"

"For this month, you will first practice the [Jade Blood Heavenly Heart Technique] until your blood and energy are full. I will pass this secret technique on to you, and you will study it while I see how I can create this outer body so that it can be concealed from others."

After saying this, Tiantuo passed on a secret technique to Xu Xuan, and then he remained silent.

[Six Paths of Rebirth], the grade of this secret technique is unknown, but it must be very precious since it can make a great demon of the Purple Mansion pay so much attention to it.

"When the mind thinks, sorrow and joy follow the heart, and the results are determined by one's own actions. All living beings are like this. If you want to know the results of the next life, you must look at the causes of the previous life."

This secret technique involves Buddhism, which surprised Xu Xuan a little. The blood-colored Mandragora flower of Tiantuo's incarnation has a profound connection with the visions in the Pure Land of Buddhas. I don't know what kind of entanglement this old monster has with Buddhism.

Xu Xuan had doubts and asked Tiantuo, but the other party always answered that he had lost his memory and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

"Now, I should study this secret technique carefully and cultivate the [Jade Blood Heavenly Heart Technique] to a small degree of success. This will give me something to rely on when I go to Shanyan City in a month."

After making up his mind, Xu Xuan began to practice in seclusion.

Liu Xiaowen has been very busy these days as Shuanghui Peak needs to be taken care of, and this matter is completed with the help of Senior Brother Chiyu.

There have been no major disputes in recent years, just some minor frictions, and they have been fighting with the Black Wind Valley and Lotus Temple, but have not made any rash moves.

When everything was ready at Shuanghui Peak, Liu Xiaowen moved into a courtyard and had his own residence.

When Liu Xiaowen heard that his senior brother had a child, he used his savings of many years to go to Qinglifang in Dajingyuan and buy a top-grade jade pendant for fetal breathing. It has the wonderful function of warming and nourishing the bones. Although the effect is not great, it is also carefully selected as a gift.

"Now is the time to practice the secret techniques in the 'Heavenly Fire Eternal Light Sutra'."

Currently, Liu Xiaowen has only learned the [Chen Hui Shang Qi Fa Guang]. After he refined his Qi, the Fa Guang turned red, which could confuse the mind and increase the strength of the troops, but it was still insufficient for direct combat.

The secret technique he was going to practice now was called [Harsh Tiger Fire Appearance]. [Bing Fire] was the way of majesty, which was in harmony with the superior position. However, this secret technique borrowed the meaning of the king being unjust and the world in turmoil, forming the appearance of a harsh tiger, which had the wonderful effect of swallowing essence and eating air, breaking laws and disrupting order.

If he were to fight with someone, this secret technique would be able to break the magic light and disrupt the energy. Liu Xiaowen could then take the opportunity to display his sword power and use the [Great Sun Fire] to attack directly.

He had a vague sense of the changes taking place around the mountain gate. If Lotus Temple were to move into Chiyunnan, they would have to go through Dachi. The Black Wind Valley had been plagued by intrusions and was even now commanding demonic creatures. A formation had been set up in the area bordering Dongmi, and he was in charge.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaowen activated the [Great Sun Fire] in his body, and a golden flame ignited from his finger.

This spiritual fire can evolve as his cultivation level increases, and its power far exceeds that of the Earthly Evil Fire.

Now Liu Xiaowen practices in the sunlight. With the seal script [Yang Sui Jiang Huo] on his body, he is close to the sunlight and can worship the sun directly to practice like the monsters and demons. Now his cultivation progress is far better than before.

[Fire Tiger Fang] is now somewhat unusable as a magical tool for fetal breathing, but this magic sword has been used for a long time and is very handy. He plans to refine this magic sword again and upgrade it to the lower level of Qi Refining.

He achieved Qi Refining and returned to Baigang once. Liu Shengshui took some of the elixirs he sent, and although he didn't fall ill, he was so old that he barely recognized Liu Xiaowen. Aging—this feeling was so real and yet so illusory. Every time he returned to Baigang, several elders passed away.

On my own mountain gate's side, most of the elders are getting younger and younger as their cultivation improves.

"Master used to look middle-aged, but now he has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, looking much younger. Once he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, he will probably be able to regain his youthful appearance."

This is the difference between immortals and mortals.

Putting these thoughts aside, Liu Xiaowen concentrated on practicing this secret technique. He would go to the horse-tying trail soon to see if he could have more tricks to be more confident.

Dajingyuan, Liu family.

Qing Yun was looking at the [Qingyu Willow] in a daze. She didn't know how many years had passed since she came here from Yuliu, and she had gradually adapted to human life.

She sat lazily on the bluestone chair in the pavilion, wearing a simple blue cloth dress, like a fisherman's wife, but the twisting of her waist gave her a charming charm.

Liu Qiuci was pruning flowers and trees in the yard. He looked serious and seemed to have a certain demeanor.

"According to the date, the people of Chi Lei Dao should be ready to enter the cave. What are your thoughts?"

Qingyun asked lazily, leaning over to look.

"What do I think? The development of these things has nothing to do with what I think."

Liu Qiuci continued to fiddle with the flowers and plants in the yard, looked at Qingyun who was lazing aside, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't be lazy, come and help."

"No help."

Qingyun's voice was very crisp, like pearls falling to the ground.

"I came from the Monster Mountain. My fellow tribesmen envied me for being able to see the world. I came to you with great joy, thinking I could become a housewife."

"Your first wife has been gone for so many years, I can't come here, and now I'm your maid. My sisters in the clan all laugh at me, saying that I can't even get a man."

After saying this, Qing Yun pretended to cry, forcing Liu Qiuci, who was standing beside her, to stop what he was doing.

"Just as you said, I'll let you marry into the Liu family, and then you'll be a widow?"

Liu Qiuci sat over, about a palm's distance away from Qing Yun, looking somewhat gloomy.

Qing Yun turned around, lying in Liu Qiuci's arms as soft as a boneless person.

"Be a widow? I'm a snake demon. Don't you know the nature of snakes? If you die, I will immediately run back to the mountains and find another handsome man."

"Then I will go to your grave with him, burn incense for you, and show you how much we love each other in front of you, so that you can see that I can be just as happy without you."

Qingyun seemed to be thinking of something funny, and she laughed loudly and freely, revealing a charming and captivating look.

Liu Qiuci looked at that face and felt it was a demon. How many mortals, immortals, and the highest of the immortals, had fallen for that smile. Even the evil ghost with painted skin, there were those who coveted its beauty, willing to indulge in that illusion until death.

He gently stroked the other person's face. Qingyun turned her head and bit his hand lightly, causing a slight sting.

The woman in his arms suddenly stood up, hugged him, and whispered in his ear:
"Liu Qiuci, sometimes I want to swallow you whole."

"Then run towards the East China Sea. I heard that there is the most beautiful scenery in the world. I want to take my first man there to see it."

"When you die, I will ask for your skull and take it to the East China Sea to see the scenery."

Liu Qiuci did not have too many emotions. He had long passed his youth. For the sake of the Liu family, his mind was now more filled with calculations.

Even the feelings of the green snake in his arms were taken into account in his calculations.

Someone came in from outside the courtyard. It was Liu Baiyuan, who was already an adult. He was handsome and had the same elegant demeanor as Liu Qiuci.

The two people in the pavilion separated immediately, feeling a little awkward.

"I've met my father and my aunt."

Liu Baiyuan's way of addressing Qingyun was a little strange, causing Qingyun in the pavilion to turn around and not look at him.

Liu Qiuci responded with a smile and asked:
"Have you arranged to visit Qingwei's Dachi Temple?"

"The people who will go and the gifts we will give have all been arranged. We just need to find a time to leave."

Liu Baiyuan explained the arrangements in detail, which made Liu Qiuci very satisfied. The father and son chatted for a while, and then Liu Baiyuan tactfully took his leave.

"Why do you let him call me aunt? Doesn't this title sound awkward?"

Qing Yun stood up, sounding dissatisfied.

"You took care of this child more when he was young. Wouldn't it make them feel closer if he recognized you as his aunt?"

Liu Qiuci's words were a bit perfunctory, which made Qing Yun's pretty face opposite him look a bit angry.

"When I was little, you always called me mother. Why do you feel alienated now that you've grown up?"

Qingyun sighed a little.

"Don't mention it. You don't know what you taught him. When Bai Yuan was little, he actually wanted to go to Yuliu to play."

When Liu Qiuci thought of this, he suddenly felt a headache.

"What's wrong with Yuliu? Isn't it better than this crappy place of yours?"

"When you die, I will take Bai Yuan to Yuliu. There are many young people in my clan who are waiting to get married. If he goes to that gentle place, he won't want to come back."

Qingyun spoke angrily and lowered his head.

The two of them just sat there in silence.

The sky gradually darkened, and the evening light fell in the courtyard. Qingyun sat closer.

It was midsummer, the chirping of insects filled the air, and night finally fell.

Qing Yun lowered his head, his expression unrecognizable, and said in a low voice, as soft as a mosquito:

"Liu Qiuci, please don't leave, okay?"

The young man in green clothes beside him closed his eyes, seeming to be a little sleepy.
