Born with immortal seed

Chapter 389 Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan

The Faxiang School's proactive approach to exorcising demons stems from two main reasons. Firstly, the lineage of the Deer-Riding Arhat has a long-standing tradition of exorcising demons and protecting the Way.

Secondly, since the Tianhe Sword Sect lost the Jiahai Zijin Beam, the Faxiang Sect was able to take on the responsibility.

It seems like a thankless task with a hefty price to pay.

However, as long as they succeed in the end, the Faxiang Sect, as the leading sect, will instantly gain a great deal of prestige.

The power of public opinion and prestige is such that it's not that useful, but it's also something we can't do without in many situations.

The Dharma Aspect Sect aims to surpass the Unborn Sect and become the true number one sect in the Northern Region; however, the outcome will be difficult to determine on ordinary paths.

Only by seizing opportunities in such unexpected events can the image of the Faxiang School subtly surpass that of the Wusheng School.

“What kind of person is the Peak Master of Heavenly Punishment Peak? He would not act lightly... The leader of this team is Fellow Daoist Meng Kang, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage, and Wuji Boat will also be traveling with them.”

The Arhat riding the deer raised his white eyebrows and looked towards the boundless Zengguang Immortal City.

The fourth-order grand formation is interconnected, and no matter which angle the attack is launched from, it will have a chain reaction.

The offensive was largely neutralized, and even if any residual power remained, it would be dispersed by the restriction.

"I have heard of the Nine Chapters of Heavenly Laws of True Lord Meng in the Southern Region. Its power is unparalleled... But that scoundrel Du Heng is hiding in the Immortal City and using the power of the formation. Can a single True Lord possibly defeat him?"

Blood God Child had fought against a Grand True Monarch in the late Nascent Soul stage before, back when he had not yet refined and subdued the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword.

Facing the Great True Lord, he could only parry. In the end, he only managed to escape unscathed by using the unique properties of the Hundred Fiends Blood Sea Great Technique, which allowed him to transform into thousands of blood shadows.

However, the situation is different when you have a fifth-tier flying sword.

He didn't think that the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator he had encountered that day would be able to gain an advantage again.

If Blood God Child could do it, there's no reason why Du Heng, who possesses a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure and has refined a True Demon Avatar, couldn't.

Moreover, Du Heng did not take the initiative to attack, but simply stayed at home to defend. No matter how strong Meng Kang was, he was still not strong enough to break through Zengguang Immortal City.

"Don't worry, the Wuji Boat is the top-tier warship of the Morality Sect, a weapon of conquest. It has a fourth-order formation and dozens of offensive and defensive restrictions, making it a mobile mountain gate... Moreover, the Tai Su Dao soldiers of Tianfa Peak will definitely accompany us in the campaign against the ancient demons."

The Arhat Riding a Deer had dealt with the Daode Sect for hundreds of years and was very clear about the meaning represented by "one person, one boat".

"The ancient demonic heritage of Burial Immortal Valley is a major concern for the Moral Sect. If the Tai Su Dao Army doesn't come out in full force, at least half of them will come... Moreover, Fellow Daoist Meng has brought out the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, one of the Five Treasures of Tongtian. With this treasure to hold the line, that's enough."

"Is it the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan that can collect all the fireworks in the world and melt all things in the world?"

Blood God's eyes twitched, and his fingers tightened around the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword.

"That's right, with this supreme demon-subduing treasure in hand, what is the True Demon Saint Body!"

The Arhat riding a deer flicked his prayer beads, his words revealing his unwavering faith in the Daode School of Taoism.

Fire in the air, fire in the stone, fire in the wood, Samadhi fire, and fire in the human world—it is said that five fires are refined together, but in reality, there are dozens of true fires, and several heavenly fires are combined into one.

Only then, when the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan is unleashed, can one see hundreds of flames soaring into the sky, all in one color, with crimson clouds filling the heavens.

The precious fan is also adorned with the true feathers of seven divine birds: the phoenix, the blue luan, the crane, the peacock, the golden crow, the swan, and the owl.

These are all made from the true feathers of fifth-order divine birds, and there are even two particularly dazzling true feathers that come from birds at the Void Refinement level.

As a top-grade spiritual treasure, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan has a distinguished record of victories and established a formidable reputation every time it appears, which is why it was included among the Five Treasures of Heaven.

"That would be best. After killing Du Heng, I still need to find the Core Formation cultivator who devised the trap to lure my junior brother into... If they know what's good for them, they should end their own lives as soon as possible, so that I won't find them and make their lives worse than death."

The Blood God Child gazed northward, his eyes filled with an intense, unyielding crimson.

"I hope you will not implicate others and commit further killings."

The Arhat riding the deer put his hands together in prayer and chanted a Buddhist mantra.

"A mere grain of rice, its light is insignificant; how dare it bully my doorstep!"

The remaining warships of the Faxiang Sect bombarded the walls of Zengguang Immortal City with wave after wave of lightning cannon fire, finally eliciting an angry roar.

A thousand-foot-tall demonic figure stood tall, striking down with a palm that stirred up endless waves.

The warships were like a few small boats adrift on the sea, ready to capsize at any moment. Their defensive barriers were as fragile as paper in the face of the giant hand, and the entire ship groaned in agony as it was being crushed.

The Arhat riding the deer quickly threw out the Buddhist beads in his hand, which transformed into twelve halos. Within each halo were countless novice monks chanting scriptures and offering devout prayers.

The halo barely held back the giant hand, but five more demonic dragons emerged from between its five fingers, writhing their bodies and spewing demonic flames at the warship.

The Pagoda-Bearing Arhat and the Flower-Holding Arhat exchanged a glance. The pagoda flew out and covered the warship, while the other man's wheel flew out and slammed a demonic dragon to the ground.

Another giant hand slowly rose, and various mysterious lights from the immortal city's formation fell upon it.

Just by pretending to take a picture, there was already a sense of impending storm and dark clouds looming over the city, causing the twelve apertures to drop several feet.

Without uttering a word, Blood God Child slapped the Avici Hell Demon Sword in his bosom, and a flash of blood light cleaved the giant hand in two.

The demonic shadow in mid-air let out a painful howl, casting a venomous glare, before its Heavenly and Earthly Demonic Body gradually dissipated.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Otherwise, we would have lost several more Buddhist boats."

The Arhat riding the deer flew back, casting a envious glance at the blood-red longsword.

The power of a fifth-tier flying sword is terrifying.

In a normal confrontation, he was confident that he could maintain a 50/50 chance against the Blood God Child.

But the addition of a fifth-tier flying sword to the battlefield was enough to change everything, and he didn't have the courage to use his protective Buddhist light to receive a blow from a fifth-tier flying sword.

A fifth-tier flying sword that can be freely controlled is a deadly weapon that even Nascent Soul cultivators would avoid at all costs.

Blood God Child nodded slightly, a piercing pain shooting through his fingertips. He glanced down and saw that only he could see the countless blood lines connecting his ten fingers to the Avici Hell Demon Sword.

The essence and blood in his body are flowing into the sword through these blood lines as a reward for the fifth-tier flying sword being unsheathed.

Meanwhile, behind him, a blood-red river hidden in the void was continuously supplying him with fresh blood, inexhaustible in its source.

However, with each transformation of the Blood River, the bloodstains under the Daoist robe on the back of the Blood God Child deepened by one line, becoming so thick that they seemed to be dripping with blood.

After this attack, the remaining warships of the Faxiang Sect retreated another hundred miles.

Only a few Nascent Soul True Monarchs were left to monitor Du Heng's movements, rendering the already flawed blockade of Zengguang Immortal City ineffective.

With twelve city gates situated in all directions, how could one possibly seal off the Immortal City without an army of hundreds of thousands of cultivators and a sufficient number of high-level cultivators?

The Faxiang School simply stopped wasting its efforts and kept an eye on Du Heng, waiting for the arrival of the Moral Army.

……

In the Cold Crow Gorge, several Qi Refining disciples were climbing a treacherous peak hand in hand.

The rock face is loose, and any foothold could be a cracked rock; a single misstep could result in a fatal fall.

All of them were only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and were outer disciples of the Qingfeng Sect, having only been disciples for a short time.

"Everyone be careful, use your canes to probe the way... If you encounter danger, don't panic. Use the flying talisman in your sleeve to fly briefly."

One of the disciples, who looked more experienced, began to teach loudly.

"Those who have died from falls in the past were all so disoriented that they didn't even have time to use their life-saving talismans. Everyone, please remember this!"

Within the Cold Crow Gorge, there are several such teams, each with its own responsibilities, working to quickly grasp the situation of this third-tier spiritual vein.

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators served as leaders, flying through the air to record the terrain of Cold Raven Gorge and observe the surrounding area.
