Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 681 Everyone has their own plans
Heaven, Qingluan Palace.

Hong Jing walked slowly into the hall and looked up at the young immortal general who was sitting high above the main seat. His expression was complicated, but also mixed with a bit of admiration.

He always felt that Qingluan was stubborn and her ideas seemed very different from those of ordinary people. To put it bluntly, it was as if she had a problem with her brain.

But it was not until he returned from Shenxu Mountain that Hong Jing suddenly realized why Qingluan was able to wield a fourth-grade immortal seal.

The other party actually pulled out the thread from the tangled mess and followed this thread to find out some truth. It was simply terrifying.

"I went to Shenxu Mountain and was received by the Peak Master Muyang of Zhen Peak."

"After many days of chatting, I brought these things back."

Hong Jing walked up the long steps and handed over the jade slip in his hand: "You are right. The young man called Shen Yi is not the heir cultivated by Shenxu Mountain since childhood. To be precise, Shenxu Mountain may have known him for about the same time as us."

"How could they tell you about this kind of thing?" Qingluan remained calm.

"Normally, matters within the sect are not disclosed to outsiders. However, Shen Yi's title of Peak Master was not obtained legitimately. He stole it from a disciple of Shenxu Mountain, so there was a rift between the fellow disciples."

Hong Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you worried that we might fight against each other and use our swords to kill people, so you made up this lie? There's no need to worry about it. After all, I'm not stupid."

As he spoke, he looked at the jade slip: "Inside this is the information about Shen Yi that the Muyang Peak Master ordered the disciples of Shenxu Mountain to go to the outside world to investigate."

"This person seems to have appeared out of thin air. Even if the Immortal Sect were to investigate, they would not be able to find any traces."

"But what's coincidental is that the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva was giving a lecture in Heshan, and Ye Lan brought Shen Yi to attend the lecture, which means that the two of them at least stayed in Great South Continent for some time. In addition, Shen Yi was able to arrive in Baji Valley at such a timely speed. The place where he usually lives is very likely in the nearby large mansions centered on Xishan Prefecture."

Hong Jing made a casual move and a topographic map of Great South Continent appeared on the table.

He lightly tapped one of the mansions with his fingertips.

Jianyang Prefecture.

"What we found in Shenxu Mountain is related to this place. Because of the impending catastrophe, many immortal sects have evacuated from the Great South Continent, and one of them is related to Shenxu Mountain."

"According to that lineage, around the time when the Bodhisattva was giving his sermon, a large number of cultivators of unknown origin suddenly appeared in Jianyang Prefecture, and took letters of recommendation from the Earth God to join the various immortal sects."

"I saw that the time was right, so when I came back, I asked my men to check it out."

Hong Jing waved his hand slightly, and heavenly soldiers and generals came out from outside the hall. Some of them held heads in their hands, and some escorted dusty prisoners. There were a large number of them, with different identities, including disciples of immortals and boys serving the God of Land.

"It's difficult to investigate one person, but it's much easier to investigate a group of people. Where did they come from, why did they gather in Jianyang Prefecture, and how did they get the recommendation letter?"

“That road made up of these people is one of the reasons why.”

Hong Jing pointed at this group of old friends that the East Dragon King had cultivated for many years, and his voice became much more indifferent: "The place where their road leads to is called Hongze."

The moment the word "Hongze" came out of his mouth.

Qingluan raised his eyes slightly, and this subtle movement instantly added a hint of murderousness to the immortal general's temperament.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

Even the heavenly soldier who had just taken off someone's head didn't dare to breathe at this moment.

"What are you going to do?"

Hong Jing broke his silence. This matter involved Hong Ze, and it reminded him of his nephew Shi Renxian who had "forgotten" the letter:
"Then Peak Master Muyang said that if the Immortal Court needs it, he will definitely help with all his strength."

Hearing this, Qing Luan shook his head and said calmly: "As long as the disputes between the mountain gates do not violate the laws of heaven, the Immortal Court will not participate."

Hong Jing nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

Not participating can also be regarded as a default.

"What about us?"

"Send Qian Qing to Hongze to investigate."

Qing Luan slowly stood up and looked down at the mortal world: "I will accompany you."

As soon as the words fell, there was already some weirdness in the eyes of the silent crowd.

General Qianqing was transferred out of the Imperial Stables. Within a short period of time, he made several great achievements in succession. It was even heard that he was favored by the Zhengshen Sect. Just when his future was bright, General Qingluan wanted to take action against him!

"This... that Qi Feng Xingxiu just transferred that person from your command. It has only been a short time. It won't be easy for you to transfer him back."

Hong Jing was a little hesitant. Even though the Three Immortals Sect and the Bodhi Sect were already very powerful now and were no longer what they used to be, he could only be a small follower helping the righteous gods.

However, as the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, the Orthodox God Sect still has some influence in the hearts of ordinary cultivators, and they dare not offend it easily.

"Then force it."

There was no room for negotiation in Qingluan's voice, and until this moment, it finally revealed some of the spirit of a celebrity in the Immortal Court.

"Got it...I'll do it right away."

Hong Jing was silent for a moment, then bowed and left obediently.

Although he is not an immortal general under Qingluan, his current attitude is obviously no longer just to help or make friends, but more like doing errands for her.

Many things in this world are actually based on results.

If Bi Ma Wen is really fine, Qing Luan is just a fool and out of his mind. It is better for me to stay away from him as soon as possible.

But if you really guessed it right.

That only proves that Immortal General Qingluan is meticulous, brave, resourceful, and worthy of reliance.

Judging from the evidence we have now, there is a 90% chance that the other party is the latter.

Such a person must have a place in the great catastrophe!
……

The sixth peak of the Bi Hai Shen Xu Mountain.

"Dad! Did the Immortal Court reply?"

In the Peak Master's Hall, Liu Ruifeng rushed over nervously and excitedly, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, is that kid surnamed Shen a wanted criminal of the Immortal Court? I know that there are not so many geniuses who are born once in a lifetime. They have all these abilities but are unknown. It's obvious that he has something to hide!"

"What a Ye Lan! Shenxu Mountain treated her well and gave her the important position of Peak Master. This bitch repaid the mountain gate in this way. She secretly hid the wanted criminal of the Immortal Court and brought him back to the mountain gate, letting that kid be the master of Danfeng. This is clearly an attempt to drag the entire Shenxu Mountain into the water."

"If it weren't for my father's understanding of justice, I'm afraid we would still be in the dark when the heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded the Blue Sea!"

Liu Ruifeng became more and more excited as he spoke, and he almost saw the glory of himself when he was in charge of Danfeng again.

However, Taoist Mu Yang looked at the letter in his hand in silence.

The reply letter from Immortal General Hongjing was somewhat vague and the content was extremely brief.

Although Mu Yang had never worked in the Immortal Court, he was quite knowledgeable about the affairs in heaven. If Shen Yi was really a wanted criminal of the Immortal Court and his charges had been proven, then the higher-ups would definitely not have this kind of attitude.

Now it seems that the other party was at most involved in something, and was not the mastermind. The Qingluan Immortal General's attention was not on this person at all.

This is far from what Taoist Mu Yang expected.

Which genius from the immortal sect has not made mistakes? Moreover, to be more precise, Shen Yi's status today is no longer that of a young genius, but a truly well-known and influential great cultivator.

This little thing alone is not enough to bring this person down.

"..."

Liu Ruifeng saw that something was wrong, so he came over to take a closer look at the contents of the letter. The excitement and joy on his face gradually faded away, and he stood there in a daze.

It was all in vain!
"Hehe——" He clenched his fists. Just as Liu Ruifeng was filled with disappointment, he saw his father carefully folding the letter and said calmly: "Heaven has not directly said that he is innocent."

If nothing is said directly, it means there is still room for maneuver.

The young man surnamed Shen was like a rootless duckweed. Apart from Ye Lan, he didn't have anyone he knew in Shenxu Mountain.

"What if the Immortal Court arrests him and takes him back for interrogation?"

"What if he put up a great resistance during the arrest and was killed on the spot?"

Mu Yang asked back a few questions in a low voice, his eyes became colder and colder, and he murmured: "Rui Feng, opportunities can't just sit and wait for them. Many times, you have to do things yourself. It's enough to have an excuse and a reason."

"father……"

Liu Ruifeng was stunned for a long time, and finally realized what his father meant, and ecstasy appeared on his face again.

"According to the date, it's about time for those two to come back to make pills for Master." Taoist Mu Yang stood up and walked out of the hall.

"I'll go with you!" Liu Ruifeng followed with big strides. If he couldn't see the bitch die with his own eyes, even if he became the peak master, he couldn't dispel the resentment and uneasiness in his heart.

Taoist Mu Yang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Ruifeng grew up in Shenxu Mountain and has never been out to gain experience. His character is too pure and naive. It is time for him to grow up.

……

The rich fragrance of elixir gradually faded away in the courtyard.

Instead, there is a new fragrance that is so mouth-watering that you can't wait to swallow it in one gulp.

But it was fleeting, as if the alchemist also discovered the value of this thing and hurriedly hid it away.

Inside the Shen residence in Jianyang Prefecture.

Shen Yi tried his best to suppress his breath, with a lingering fear in his eyes.

The fragrance of the elixir dissipated because the precious elixir that had been refined by consuming three hundred calamities of the imperial energy golden pill had all entered his stomach.

The new rich fragrance did not mean that he had refined some other elixir.

"..."

Well, barely.

But that elixir is Shen Yi himself.

Perhaps the collection of books left by Danfeng was too rich and comprehensive.

Shen Yi's process of deducing the Taixu Alchemy Dao was smooth sailing.

Counting the remaining six hundred kalpas, plus the three hundred kalpas of imperial energy, a total of more than a thousand kalpas, a loss of about 30%, is enough to help Taixu Daoguo truly reach the fourth level.

At the moment of breakthrough, Shen Yi felt that his entire body was connected to that golden elixir.

The skin, hair, blood vessels, bones, and even the soul, all gave rise to countless dense and invisible threads, which sank into the Taixu Dao Fruit and merged into the golden elixir.

These silk threads are like an eternal furnace, refining the elixir all the time using thousands of methods.

When he broke through to the Dragon-Tiger level previously, he directly transformed a thousand calamities into three thousand calamities.

However, as Taixu Daoguo was one of the top ten existences, the path deduced by Shen Yi from it did not have such an obvious leap.

A thousand kalpas are still a thousand kalpas, and apart from the perfection of the Tao, there is nothing miraculous about it.

And there are disadvantages!

Shen Yi recalled the fragrance that had just emanated from his body. Not only others, but even he felt a little salivating.

If such a human-shaped golden pill were swallowed into the stomach, it would frighten all ghosts and gods.

"It's difficult..."

Shen Yi shook his head and continued to look at the Taixu Golden Pill.

Soon, he discovered something wrong again.

In theory, the fourth level represents the perfection of the changes in the Tao fruit or fruit position. For example, after the fruit position of subduing dragons and taming tigers is formed, there can be no further progress.

Three thousand kalpas is the limit of this fruit position and also its final form.

But at this moment, the furnace in the body is not extinguished, and the Ten Thousand Pill Methods are still evolving on their own. This means that the Taixu Golden Pill has not yet been taken out of the furnace, and it can continue to carry more calamity power!

Perhaps it will be perfect only when all the methods used to refine this pill are exhausted.

Transcending the upper limit, is this the true function of Taixu Dandao?
"..."

As the founder of this method, Shen Yi had no one to ask and could only figure it out on his own.

Now that both the walker and the Qigong practitioner have reached the fourth level, they have the ability to protect themselves even in this vast world.

Going higher, there are only real gods, Buddhas, and immortals left.

He stood up and felt relaxed all over. With the Taixu Golden Pill as an anchor, he traveled through the void and could go anywhere in the world!

Shen Yi walked out of the yard and sent a message to Ye Lan.

Soon, a sword light appeared.

Ye Lan had long noticed the fragrance of elixir wafting from the Shen residence, so she had been keeping an eye on the vicinity. Fortunately, the sweet fragrance soon disappeared.

She did not ask about the pill.

With Shen Yi's talent, and having taken away Danfeng's heritage, it was normal for him to gain something and refine some miraculous elixir.

Moreover, at a time of such great disaster, every improvement of the opponent would be a good thing for Great Nanzhou. If it were exposed, it would be bad.

"But there is something else on your mind. If not, let's go and come back quickly."

Ye Lan glanced outside the mansion. The situation was unstable now, and there might be more troubles as time went on.

It would be better to deal with the matter of Xuyuan Baodan first, so as to avoid being in a hurry later.

"Let's go." Shen Yi nodded his chin.

Although the Taixu Dan Dao can still be improved for the time being, and there is no need to worry about the monster's life span being wasted, it is also good to know about the Daluo Dao Fruit in advance.

At least I can see with my own eyes what the Daluo Immortal looks like, which will also help me prepare countermeasures.

"correct."

Ye Lan seemed to remember something and whispered a reminder: "When you make pills for Ancestor Shenxu, remember to put away the pills you made earlier, or take them in advance."

"..."

Shen Yi was silent for a moment. He wanted to eat, but he couldn't bite his own fingernails.

"Anyway, just be extra careful, but don't worry too much. That time hasn't come yet." Ye Lan forced a smile. When that day really came, Shen Yi wouldn't need to say anything. She would definitely take him as far away from Shenxu Mountain as possible, and it would be best if they never went back.
