Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 740 Xia Lin
Southern Capital.

In the vast void, countless golden lightning bolts appeared. A Xuan Seal as large as a mountain landed here, echoing the Heavenly Pivot and proclaiming the Xuan Punishment. The magnificent divine lightning connected with countless incense offerings.

Dark clouds surrounded the area, and the wind and thunder roared. Heavenly soldiers and warriors sat guard here, each holding a flag and responding to the divine light. At the very top, two figures stood on the platform.

A man clad in a silver robe embroidered with thunderclouds, carrying a long sword on his back, exuded an aura as deep as the ocean. Silver and black lightning crisscrossed behind him like beams and pillars, sensing the impending calamity.

Xu Xuan silently observed the scene before him. It seemed that the Thunder Department was refining a secret treasure in preparation for the battle against the Desecrated Hill. This matter required the Thunder Divine Power to oversee, so naturally, he needed to contribute.

Beside him stood an old man clad in golden thunder armor and wearing a black helmet. His face was aged, his eyes sharp, and his divine thunder aura was condensed to the extreme. His life force resonated with that [Battle Pivot Punishment Seal].

The old man's cultivation had increased again, seemingly through some secret method. He had already cultivated the fourth supernatural power. Although his aura was strong, it gave people the feeling of a raging fire burning fuel.

"The Divine Thunder Calamity will be completed in three years, and the war is not far off."

Wei Hua's voice was full of energy and carried an extremely deep killing intent.

At the center of the array formed by the numerous celestial soldiers below, there stood an extremely mysterious golden pillar, surrounded by a sea of ​​divine lightning, with a magnificent and violent aura rising and surging.

It was a calamity orchestrated by the ancient Dou Shu Yuan, known as the "Calamity of Heavenly Slaughter," and was on par with the "Calamity of Slaughter" from the Divine Thunder.

However, this divine lightning calamity is now enhanced by the [Dou Shu Shang Fa Seal], refined by the Thunder Department, and forged by the divine power of the entire nation, transforming it into something even more powerful.

Xu Xuan secretly estimated that even a cultivator with perfect supernatural powers would not dare to withstand this divine lightning calamity head-on; the slightest carelessness would result in the annihilation of both body and soul.

"Divine Thunder. [Dou Shu Shang Fa Seal] is indeed profound and has many uses."

He was slightly moved. The lightning seal behind him was the core of the Thunder Department's construction, supporting many heavenly soldiers and warriors. It could draw upon lightning, and now it also had the power to bring about calamities. It was truly extraordinary.

"This is one of the few remaining magical treasures of the Thunder Palace, so it is naturally extraordinary. It's a pity that the sword is not here."

Wei Hua's tone was slightly regretful as he looked down at the Golden Thunder Pillar.

"Could it be a magic treasure of the Xuan Shu lineage?"

Xu Xuan was slightly tempted. He knew that many things in Yongjie Heaven had flowed into the hands of the Song family, but those two magic treasures had escaped and were taken by Xiao Liao.

"That's right, it's that [Haoji], a magic weapon forged for [Tianji Shenlei Xuanshu Zhenjun], an absolute killing weapon."

Wei Hua continued slowly, saying:
"When the calamity first broke, this item fell into the hands of the Northern Liao. But it was ultimately the work of that Heavenly Pivot Sword Immortal. Without his instruction, the Xiao family could not have taken it away."

Xu Xuan was moved and immediately asked:

"I've heard many rumors about whether this person is the reincarnation of a true lord."

"The situation is more complicated than that. Since you are a cultivator of the She Lei, it's hard to guarantee that you won't run into this person. It's best to prepare in advance."

Wei Hua's gaze deepened, revealing a rare sincerity.

"Remember, this is a conflict of faiths, not a war between two countries. Even if he is not in Liao and you are not in Li, there is still a conflict over the shrine's path to enlightenment."

Xu Xuan silently noted it down, without too many doubts. He had already considered this matter, and Wei Hua was merely making it clear now.

"I have something I'd like to ask you, senior."

He looked at Wei Hua beside him, and seeing the other nod, he asked, "The Imperial family told me that your ambition is not to establish a Celestial Dynasty or pacify Liao, but only to make the Li Fire flourish. Senior is also a descendant of the Emperor, what is your opinion?"

"To bring peace to all directions and unify the country is the ambition of many in the clan. At least I, and the princes who are away, think so."

Wei Hua spoke in a deep, aged voice:

"It's hard to say what the future holds. However, it's not that Your Excellency is absolutely certain that you will not establish a Celestial Dynasty. Everything depends on how things develop in the future. If you can elevate the Li Huo through the Supreme Immortal Path, that would be the best outcome, as you could become a Celestial True Person. But if you cannot attain the Path of an Emperor, that is not impossible either."

He openly shared this secret with those around him, without holding back much.

"There is only one thing that can be confirmed: pacifying Liaodong and dispersing the demons will be beneficial to both the immortal path and the common people. There have been several instances in ancient times where foreign tribes have entered the Central Plains and caused chaos, not to mention something like the Ling Sa, which is absolutely impossible to assimilate."

"Even if the Great Li is not restored in the future, it will surely be the lineage of the immortals in the Central Plains that will inherit it, and it is absolutely impossible for these foreign races to inherit it."

Wei Hua seemed to look down on other races, drawing a very clear line between them.

"And what about Great Xia?"

Xu Xuan's gaze grew more somber, as if he harbored doubts.

"Has the Imperial Family considered this matter? The demons have established a kingdom, wreaking havoc in foreign lands and poisoning the people. If they were to take advantage of the Central Plains' vulnerability to seize power in the future, the calamities of the world would likely begin with the conquest of Liao."

He didn't have any objection to the conquest of Liao, but he was afraid that Li Song would really do something like burning people and burning himself, and that he would take advantage of the great fire of Li and the burning of the vast wood to escape, while the Central Plains would fall at this time.

Xu Xuan didn't think there was much of a chance that this Emperor Li could succeed, after all, he had offended all the True Lords of Wood Virtue and made too many enemies.

If the Song Dynasty collapses at that time, and both countries are weakened, the Xia Dynasty, which is eyeing the country from afar, is most likely to benefit.

"The Sword Immortal of the Tribulation-Slaying Realm has a far-sighted vision and a heart for the world; it is rare to see someone like you. Rest assured, there are people who will handle this. The demonic forces are no longer a threat. Whether it is a dragon or a crow, once they cross the line, they will only face certain death."

He continued, with a pointed remark:

"Don't worry about those things. Let's think about how to survive first. She Lei is not easy to repair."

The old man's voice was filled with emotion. He shook his head and retreated back onto the enormous lightning seal, transforming into a golden lightning-formed avatar.

"Dragon, Crow"

Xu Xuan's heart stirred slightly. If the Dragon Clan was plotting to become a true dragon, following the old path, then the Golden Crow seemed to have completely turned to that Jiao Yang, supporting his new proof.

'Ren Han can make plans. But regarding the position of the Sun, without permission, I'm afraid the Golden Crow can forget about even touching it.'

He stopped thinking about these important world affairs. Wei Hua was absolutely right when he said, "Preservation comes first. If you die, all talk is meaningless."

'Xieqiu, I'm afraid we'll have to face off against that Feng Yan. I wonder if Dusheng is there, and perhaps there's also a Miaopin.'

Xu Xuan suddenly felt a headache coming on. The Water Transformation Demon Path was notoriously difficult to deal with, and the foundation of the Delightful Desire Demon Land was even more profound. If they were to come out in full force, they could really stop the Li Kingdom.

The situation on the battlefield is determined by these great cultivators. If we want to conquer Xieqiu and completely drive Leyu back, we will probably need two more people with perfect supernatural powers, in addition to that Beiyin Zhenren.

Who will the Song Dynasty send?
