Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 688 Seeking the Cry to Save from Suffering, Slaying Demons with the Sword
The sea area surrounding Cuixia Palace immediately descended into chaos, and everyone seemed to have found an opponent.

Seeing that the primordial spirits directly launched an attack, the Yin spirits and Golden Core cultivators who had come to provoke them due to past grudges were not to be outdone. They each made their own merciless moves, either activating the evil treasures they had painstakingly sought that could affect their Dao heart and true spirit, or helping the Northern Demon Sect True Man to launch a strong attack on the Emerald Cloud Palace Immortal Formation.

In the blink of an eye, the scene had become extremely tense and heated, and the inheritance of Cuixia Palace seemed to be on the verge of collapse!
Xu Xuan had already activated his outer core, seemingly transforming into a demon king of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan, poised to strike.

Generally speaking, even a True Person of the same level would have a hard time breaking through a celestial array at the Yuan Shen level. However, with many unorthodox practitioners assisting that True Person from the Northern Demonic Sect, Palace Master Lou Zishan felt the pressure increase sharply in just a few breaths, and her heart sank rapidly.

From the void, various insidious and vicious methods were transmitted, constantly interfering with Qingwei's efforts to see through the illusion and gather her true spirit, attempting to make it impossible for her to break through the barrier of life and death.

Whether Qingwei achieves enlightenment or not will directly affect the fate of the Cuixia Palace lineage. Therefore, with the karmic tribulations accumulated over many years erupting, even with extensive preparations, Lou Zishan doesn't hold out much hope.

The scene before him made him feel disoriented and despair arose. On his Yin Spirit, which had been perfected for many years, black spots that looked like mold gradually appeared.

As if sensing something, the Flowing Cloud Hermit, while holding back the Green Lotus Immortal, shouted in a voice as loud as thunder, "Junior Sister, wake up!"

"What a treacherous demon! What ingenious magic!"

Lou Zishan regained her composure and her resolve was restored, but her Yin spirit was still affected. Even with the power of the Xuanming Flying Star Hairpin to freeze her thoughts, her strength was still weakened by 30% invisibly!
The elder of the Northern Demonic Sect, Huaiyin Sanren, sneered sinisterly: "Without the immortal array and magic treasures, you would have been at my beck and call in just a few breaths!"

Lou Zishan gritted her teeth, then ignored Huaiyin Sanren completely and focused solely on operating the immortal array.

In just a dozen or so breaths, the auspicious energy and mist between heaven and earth not only did not decrease but increased, and the laws of nature became more and more active, as if they were about to reach a certain peak.

This also means that Li Qingwei has successfully broken through the illusion and merged with the true spirit, almost completing this step and possessing the conditions to break through the barrier between life and death.

It was at this moment that the Second Calamity True Man of the Eastern Demonic Sect, who had been secretly observing for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and uttered a kind of ancient and desolate fall, word by word. As a result, all the filth, depravity and bloodshed in the world seemed to manifest as a seemingly real and illusory Heavenly Saint Demon Realm, which was reflected in the hearts of every living being in the Cuixia Palace Sea.

Aside from the prepared Huaiyin Sanren, even Heishui Xuanshe and Lüping Zhenren were inevitably affected, with all their negative thoughts being amplified and detonated, amplifying this "Heavenly Saint Demon Realm".

Deep within the Cuixia Palace, Li Qingwei had just merged with her true spirit and seen her true nature when she seemed to feel the call of a sacred immortal realm, wanting to throw herself into it.

Unbeknownst to him, his persistence and desire for the Dao and for immortality were magnified into greed.

Fortunately, after the fusion of the true spirit, it was the time when his Dao heart was at its clearest and firmest, and he immediately noticed the abnormality.

After all, the fundamental barrier between life and death has not yet been shaken, so where would the backlash from heaven and earth come from, or the illusion of the void!
The golden light shines brightly, and evil spirits are driven away.

The magnificent nine-story golden pagoda, which possessed divine power to deter evil spirits, directly tore apart the "Heavenly Saint Demon Realm," interrupting the spellcasting of Elder Wuyan of the Eastern Demonic Sect.

"The profound origin of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi. Through countless eons of cultivation, I have attained divine powers. Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme. My body is enveloped in golden light, invisible to the eye and inaudible to the ear. Encompassing Heaven and Earth, nurturing all living beings..."

Xu Xuan's body was imbued with seven-colored magical power, which was both alluring and righteous, and he chanted incantations. He lifted the golden pagoda and smashed it down with a crash, catching Venerable Wuyan off guard and causing him to stumble.

Faced with a second-level demon, Xu Xuan had no choice but to use all his strength to chant divine incantations to bless the golden pagoda, and only with the hidden power of the Seven Treasures Golden Banner could such an effect be achieved.

Otherwise, even if the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda were formed by inheriting the great power of the Xuanmen Golden Light Divine Mantra, it would still be difficult to contend with a Second Calamity True Man.

"Demon race? No, external alchemy?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Venerable Wuyan's aged face, which was quickly replaced by a cold expression: "Although I cannot see through your true cultivation level, I am afraid you have not yet reached the Golden Core stage, yet you dare to come here to do good deeds?"

"die!"

Like the Grim Reaper demanding a life, the ancient incantation seemed to be branded onto the soul.

Xu Xuan suddenly felt a chill run through his body, a sense of impending death welled up within him, and he felt as if he were about to perish at any moment.

The portal at the top of the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda opened, sucking it in directly. Then, it fearlessly charged towards Venerable Filthy Words again, showing no sign of retreat. In a few breaths, the two clashed several times. Although Venerable Filthy Words clearly had the upper hand, he found it difficult to suppress a single Calamity-level magic weapon.
In the distance, Ling Yangzi, the Immortal of the Wood Mansion in Zifu Prefecture, looked on with curiosity, his hands constantly calculating.

"How strange! This helper from Cuixia Palace was not included in your calculations, fellow Daoist?"

"There seems to be a mist surrounding him, and even with the help of the Mirror of the Spirit Official of the Rabbit Day, I cannot deduce his whereabouts?"

Lingyangzi is a direct descendant of Zifu Prefecture and a True Man of Two Calamities from the Wood Duke Immortal Mansion. He has undergone two tribulations and has the potential to become a Yang God.

The arrival of both the Mao-day Spirit Official's Mirror and the Wood Palace's Pure Yang Magic Treasure (a magic treasure capable of warding off the three calamities) demonstrates the importance attached to this event.

Because Cuixia Palace has been located overseas for many years, its traditions are pure and upright, upholding righteousness and warding off evil, and protecting the Way and eliminating demons, making it one of the righteous paths. If one can become a True Person and advance into the lineage of the Dharma, one can also receive the Purple Palace Talisman and be blessed with good fortune.

Lingyangzi's arrival this time, if not to cover up for Cuixia Palace, is also to test and protect the Dharma.

Of course, in the end, it still depends on Qingwei's determination to truly take this step.

"It's good that this kid is here. Although I don't have the Rift Origin, it would be really troublesome if he and Venerable Wuyan joined forces."

"The purpose of that bald man from beyond the realm is unclear. Perhaps he came to convert the demon, or perhaps he wants to bring a few celestial maidens from the Emerald Cloud Palace?"

"Moreover, it is said that the Palace Master Li of Cuixia Palace and the true disciple of Xuandu Temple also have a predestined relationship, but there may be some changes in the story."

Even as Lingyangzi was pondering, the void underwent a transformation.

Due to time constraints, and with the Venerable of Filthy Words unable to escape after being blocked, a pitch-black sun, exuding a strong sense of destruction and despair, rose into the sky and instantly fell towards the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda. Its terrifying aura made Xu Xuan's heart pound with fear.

"The 'Secret Essentials of the Five Elements of Dark Sun' at the Yang God level? The fundamental divine power of the Dark Sun Annihilation Primordial Spirit..."

"This is Lie Yuanzi from the Western Demonic Sect! These various demonic sects have truly come together!"

Having cooperated with them before, Xu Xuan knew quite a bit about the Four Directions Demonic Sect and quickly identified the people who had come.

Besides Ge Wuhen, the only other person who has cultivated this demonic scripture to this level is Lie Yuanzi!

As the dark sun fell, the power of annihilation of the five elements and all things swept across the land. If it weren't for the Seven Treasures Golden Canopy and Kasyapa's handwritten letter supporting it, the mere Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda at the first level of calamity would have been crippled long ago.

Even so, Xu Xuan's situation instantly became precarious.

A protective treasure of the primordial spirit level transformed into a magnificent nine-colored canopy, enveloping the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda as it spun around as if searching for a chance to escape.

"There are quite a few good things here!"

Seeing that Lie Yuanzi had suppressed the junior from a distance, Venerable Wuyan was overjoyed and felt that he could quickly finish him off.

Reminded by the Seven Treasures Golden Canopy, Xu Xuan, having grasped the thoughts of the Venerable of Filthy Words, hardened his eyes. He allowed the Nine Fragrance Cloud Cover, which could be used several times, to continuously dissolve under the Great Sun of Annihilation. Instead, he forcibly activated the Nine Palaces Golden Pagoda to shock the Venerable of Filthy Words for a moment, and then silently unleashed the Six Paths of Reincarnation in his palm.

The Venerable of Filth instantly regained his composure, sneering disdainfully, "You dare to presume to teach such a trivial skill to an expert..."

An ancient roulette wheel was clearly reflected in his eyes. His primordial spirit and true spirit, which had already survived two calamities, seemed to actively welcome this ancient supernatural power, allowing Xu Xuan to hit his opponent with unexpected ease.

The six realms of reincarnation, the impermanence of life and death, the sound of the wheel turning was sluggish and majestic, as if it came from across endless time, and Venerable Wuyan stood there dumbfounded.
