Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 818: Leaving the Sect, the Demon God Seals
After "Taoist Lingxu" uttered a few words softly, he just picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, but Li Xuanyi beside him took it first.

"Master, you activated the sect token this time, aren't you really just here to call me back?"

Seeing the confusion on Li Xuanyi's face, "Taoist Lingxu" smiled slightly, then put away the fishing rod in his hand and walked to a simple thatched hut not far from the shore.

"It's been windy and rough lately, so it's not easy to catch a big fish. I haven't had a good fish in a while."

As "Taoist Lingxu" spoke, he brought out a large iron pot from the straw shed. Li Xuanyi simply rolled up his sleeves, walked skillfully to the stream, and began to process the big fish that had just been caught.

Both of them were dressed rather simply. At first glance, if others didn't pay attention, they would have thought they were a father and daughter who had been fishing at the seaside for many years.

After a long time, a delicious fish was brought to the stone platform next to it, and there was also a pot of delicious fish soup.

When Taoist Lingxu smelled the delicious and fresh fish, a look of joy instantly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

“The color is delicious, and the fish meat must be cooked directly from the sea to retain its fresh taste.

People like Liu Yang are so dull-witted that no matter how much I teach them how to cook, they just can't get the hang of it. Every time I waste the good ingredients I find!
After all these years, you are still the one who wins my heart the most. Not only have you inherited my martial arts skills, but your spiritual cooking skills are also becoming better and better than mine.

I just don’t know how many chances I will have to taste the delicious spiritual food you cook in the future.”

After some praise, "Taoist Lingxu" poured himself a full bowl of the fragrant fish soup, with an indescribable look of satisfaction on his face.

"Master, please don't blame me. I have been in seclusion for the past few years and have just come out of seclusion with some success. I came to visit you as soon as I received the news."

Seeing that his master "Master Lingxu" was still satisfied with his cooking skills after decades of not seeing him, Li Xuanyi showed a slight joy on his face, and took out the spiritual tea he brought from the side and started to boil it.

It was not until "Taoist Lingxu" had almost tasted all the fish in the bowl that Li Xuanyi took the initiative to pour him a cup of fragrant spiritual tea.

"Master, my cultivation has now broken through to the late Jindan stage. There are indeed many matters in the clan that need my help. Xuanyi may not be able to return to the sect often to serve you in the future."

"I hope Master will forgive me and allow me to leave the sect from now on!"

The "Lingxu Taoist" who had just picked up the spiritual tea heard Li Xuanyi's words. After a pause, he put down the tea bowl in his hand and replied softly:
"After all, your Li family is a Nascent Soul family with a history of ten thousand years. It's not like they need you to help them deal with everything! Could it be that Gu Yunshan has reached a point where there is no one else available and needs to snatch you, a girl, from an old man like me?

Although the master cannot directly interfere in the affairs of other sects in Nanzhou, he still knows a few people outside who can have a say.

Girl, if you really have been wronged, you might as well tell this old man. At worst, I can go and see them again at the cost of my old face."

Seeing that "Taoist Lingxu" looked at him calmly, Li Xuanyi immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "Master, you misunderstood me. It's all family matters. I have nothing to feel wronged. You don't have to worry about this little thing of mine.

I am still an outer disciple now, so even if I leave the sect it won't have much impact. I will definitely come back to see you when I have some free time in the future."

After hearing Li Xuanyi's explanation, Taoist Lingxu's face gradually darkened, and his eyes revealed a gleam of brilliance that was rarely seen on his face.

"The reason why Master asked you is because he wants you to speak out. You don't really think that I don't know anything just because I stay on the island every day, do you?"

Seeing the change on Taoist Lingxu's face, Li Xuanyi was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Master, I know you are doing this for my own good.

But I have already thought about this matter.

I know the sect's rules, and I don't want this to affect the sect, so please don't make things difficult for me."

"Have you really thought it through?"

"Yes! Some things must be faced eventually. I don't want to live under the protection of others all my life. Maybe one day, when I have the ability to change everything, I can come back here."

"Girl, just think it over for yourself!"

After hearing Li Xuanyi's explanation, "Taoist Lingxu" said nothing more. He stood up, waved his hand, took out a scroll and handed it to Li Xuanyi, and then said to him:
"This is the complete Taixu Sword Technique that I have deduced. It is enough for you to practice directly to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. Regardless of whether you are in the sect or not in the future, I will still recognize you as my disciple."

Li Xuanyi, holding the bamboo slips tightly in his hand, couldn't help but feel confused for a moment, and hurriedly bowed to "Master Lingxu".

"Xuan Yi, thank you Master for your teachings!"
-
Two months later, another unnamed boat came outside "Yuxuan Island" and slowly docked beside a reef near the island.

"I haven't been here for decades, but there hasn't been much change. I don't know if I'll have the chance to see Master this time!"

Looking at the "Yuxuan Island" in front of him which was still exactly the same as it was decades ago, Song Qingming, who was standing at the bow, couldn't help but smile. He was already looking forward to meeting his fellow disciples whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Just as Song Qingming was thinking about it, the sky above the "Yuxuan Island" which was originally clear suddenly changed, and a black fog appeared, covering the entire area of ​​the island.

This strange phenomenon in heaven and earth immediately alarmed the nearby seabirds and flying fish, and they all began to flee quickly into the distance.

“This is demonic energy!”

Seeing everything happening on the "Yuxuan Island" in front of him, Song Qingming's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly threw a bag of spirit stones to the boatman beside him.

It then transformed into a streak of green light, flew directly to "Yuxuan Island" and landed on a flat ground on the east side of the island.

Taking out a round green jade plate in his hand, Song Qingming quickly passed through the large formation set up by the sect outside the mountain and came directly to the "Taixu Gate" located above the island.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Song Qingming saw several beams of light flying hurriedly from a distance. When he got closer, he found that they were Liu Yang and several other Jindan fellow disciples.

"Hey! It's Junior Brother Song who's here."

"Hello, brothers. I have just arrived on the island. Where are you going?"

"Junior Brother Song, the seal that seals the demon god in the back mountain has loosened again. We are preparing to go and help strengthen the seal. Junior Brother has just arrived. Why don't you go with us to help!"

"Just follow my brother's orders!"

When Song Qingming first came to "Taixu Gate", he encountered the harassment of the demon illusion here. He also knew that there was a demon from the upper realm who broke through the realm tens of thousands of years ago and was sealed on the island.

Upon hearing that the leakage of demonic energy was caused by the loosening of the demon god's seal, Song Qingming nodded in response, and then followed Liu Yang and others to a canyon on the back mountain of the island.

As he approached the depths of the canyon, Song Qingming saw a ball of demonic energy rising into the sky from the valley.

The density of this demonic energy was several times more refined than the skills used by the demon cultivators that Song Qingming had encountered before. Before they even came into contact with it, everyone felt a chill coming towards them.

Seeing this, Song Qingming and others cast spells to activate the protective spiritual light, forming a protective shield in front of them before continuing to fly into the valley.

Soon, Song Qingming and his companions arrived at a stone platform and saw their fourth senior brother Zheng Xingyun, who was casting a spell to strengthen the seal, as well as many "Taixu Sect" disciples.

Because there are not many people coming, and many fellow disciples in the sect will be in seclusion for years to practice, this is the first time Song Qingming has seen most of them.

There were four stone platforms in the canyon, standing on the mountain walls on both sides, and there were seven or eight people sitting on each platform.

There was also a person standing in the air above their heads. Except for the fourth senior brother Zheng Xingyun, the aura emanating from the other three people had obviously reached the Nascent Soul stage.

These Nascent Soul cultivators were casting spells to fuse the magic power of the many Golden Core cultivators below and pouring it into four huge bronze tripods floating in the air in front of them.

As for the four huge bronze tripods in the middle, each one was several feet wide and high. The pressure emanating from them made Song Qingming feel extremely pressured just by looking at them. He quickly turned his gaze to the side and felt a little better.

"My fellow junior brothers, I have almost enough manpower here. Please go to Junior Brother Lin and the others to help."

After hearing a word shouted by a square-faced man above, Song Qingming and his companions hurriedly separated, landed on several other stone platforms, and began to cast spells to help everyone stabilize the huge seals under the four bronze tripods.

In this way, everyone was busy from the afternoon until dark, and the evil energy coming out from the depths of the canyon below gradually became sparse.

After another half hour, when the demonic energy in the canyon gradually died down, everyone, under the leadership of several Nascent Soul cultivators, put away their magic power.

"The seal of the demon god has been stabilized. Thank you for your hard work, fellow apprentices and nephews!"

After the huge bronze tripod in front of him calmed down, the square-faced man with the highest cultivation level among the four Nascent Soul cultivators turned around and bowed to everyone.

Through the introduction of Liu Yang who had just stood next to him, Song Qingming had already learned that the square-faced man who was speaking was none other than his eldest brother Fu Jinglong, one of the dozen or so direct disciples of his master "Master Lingxu".

His cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and he is currently the one with the highest cultivation among the dozens of "Taixu Sect" disciples present.

The other three people beside him are the third senior sister Mu Bingyun, the fourth senior brother Zheng Xingyun, and the eighth senior brother Duan Youde. All three of them have reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Hearing the polite words from the eldest brother, everyone present hurriedly bowed and saluted in return.

Before everyone left the place, a beam of light suddenly flew out from the depths of the canyon and landed in mid-air. It was the master "Taoist Lingxu" that Song Qingming most wanted to see on this trip.

"Meet the Master!"

"There's nothing to do down there, come back with me!"

After glancing at everyone present, "Taoist Lingxu" quickly waved his hand, then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Seeing this, everyone followed behind "Taoist Lingxu" and soon arrived at a hall in the front gate of the mountain. After arriving at the hall, "Taoist Lingxu" turned around and slowly spoke to the many disciples in front of him: "Tens of thousands of years ago, the true devil came to the world and broke through the world, causing my Huayang world to suffer a demonic disaster, and countless lives in the entire Xiuxian world perished.

Afterwards, our Taixu Sect ancestors joined forces with the human and demon races from all over the world, and asked for help from the great beings of our human race who had ascended to the upper realms. Only then did we finally drive the ancient true demon out of the realm and wipe out its many followers.

After the great war to destroy demons, although most of the demons were killed, there were still some remnants of real demons left in the Huayang Realm.

Even if these true demons from the upper realm die, their bodies will not decay or be destroyed, and their souls will still be revived. The ancestors have tried many methods, but for a while they were still unable to completely destroy the demon's body.

Therefore, our human ancestors had no choice but to set up a large formation, sealing these true demon bodies in places with abundant yang energy in the five continents and four seas, and using the vital energy of heaven and earth in this world to slowly destroy these ancient true demon bodies.

It is for this reason that our ancestors of Taixu Sect set up the Tianding Suolong Formation in the valley, sealed a true demon's body here, and have guarded this island and the seal for generations.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, most of the demons sealed in this world have been killed by our ancestors with the help of the Demon Suppression Array. Only this true demon in the back valley has survived the death, and not only has it resisted the power of the array, but has also recovered a lot of its strength over the years.

The seal of the demon has become increasingly loose recently. I'm afraid the formation set up by our ancestors back then won't be able to trap this demon for much longer.

I have called all of you back here because I want to draw on your strength to completely resolve this matter during my lifetime so as not to leave any major hidden dangers for you in the future.

Your master is going to set up another large formation soon, and then cast a spell to strengthen the seal of the formation in the valley. Even if you cannot kill the demon completely, at least you can seal him for a while longer, so as not to cause too much hidden danger to you.

I believe that even if I am no longer around, you will be able to continue to guard the great formation in the valley for the sect and prevent the true demon from having another chance to wreak havoc on the world."

"Disciple, please obey your master's orders!"

After hearing his master "Taoist Lingxu"'s story, Song Qingming finally understood the reason why the sect suddenly activated the token to summon back so many disciples. It was to refine a high-level demon-killing formation to strengthen the seal of the demon god in the valley.

Although he could help the sect kill the true demons from the upper realm, regardless of whether Song Qingming was a disciple of the "Taixu Sect" or not, this was his bounden duty as a righteous cultivator.

However, strengthening the seal of the demon god is something that cannot be accomplished in a day or two. I don’t know how long it will take before I have the chance to return to the Floating Cloud Mountains.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming was excited, but he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

After "Taoist Lingxu" said these words, he quickly waved his hand and dismissed everyone. Song Qingming also followed everyone out of the hall.

Not long after walking out of the hall, Song Qingming immediately stepped forward to stop Liu Yang, took him to a relatively secluded place, took out a storage bag and handed it to the other party.

"Senior Brother Liu, this is the spiritual stone I borrowed from you last time in Lei Yuan Sea. I wanted to come to you after I got back, but something happened at home and I was delayed for a while. I hope you don't mind."

"Junior Brother Song, you are too polite. These spirit stones are just external things. There is no need for you to keep worrying about them. I will accept them."

Liu Yang took the bag of spirit stones handed to him by Song Qingming and took a look at it. He saw that there seemed to be a little more in it than what he had borrowed originally. When he was about to return it, he was stopped by Song Qingming again.

"Brother, you helped me out in the emergency, so I should do this. Just treat it as inviting you to drink a few more cups of spiritual tea. Don't be too polite to me.

By the way, Senior Brother Liu, I asked you to come here. I have another question. I would like to ask you to help me solve it. "

Hearing that Song Qingming still wanted to ask him something, Liu Yang immediately smiled and said:

"Junior Brother Song, you are asking about Senior Sister Li! Senior Sister did come here two months ago, but she left after staying for a few days. She didn't tell me when she would come back next time.

The last time I saw Senior Sister Li, she seemed to be worried about something. Master didn't allow me to ask about her affairs, and I don't know if Senior Sister Li had encountered any problems at home.

Otherwise, when Junior Brother Song has a chance to meet Master alone in a few days, you can ask Master about it and let me know while you’re at it! "

"Ah! Senior Sister is back. Okay, I will definitely ask Master when I have a chance to see him."

Seeing that Song Qingming agreed immediately, Liu Yang immediately smiled and bowed slightly to Song Qingming.

"Well, Junior Brother Song, if you have any news, please remember to let me know. Senior Sister Li has always been so kind to me. If she really has any problems, I should also help her."

Suddenly hearing Liu Yang mention Senior Sister Li Xuanyi interrupted Song Qingming's thoughts for a moment.

Song Qingming, who originally wanted to inquire about the specific time when the sect would set up the demon-killing formation, did not remember this until Liu Yang left. He could not help but shook his head at himself.

However, after living in the sect for a few days, Song Qingming was soon summoned by his master, Taoist Lingxu, as Liu Yang said, giving him the opportunity to inquire about these things.

After greeting his senior brother Liu Yang who was guarding the door, Song Qingming was familiar with the route and soon arrived at the cave on the top of the mountain. He saw "Taoist Lingxu" who was boiling water with firewood in the cave.

"Meet the Master!"

"Haha! You're here."

"I was so busy dealing with that devil a few days ago that I forgot to see you. I just remembered it today. The water is just boiling, come and sit down!"

Seeing that "Taoist Lingxu" with a trace of smoke on his forehead waved to him with a smile, Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward to his side and sat down at the stone table next to him.

After the two of them sat down, Song Qingming saw his master "Taoist Lingxu" holding a kettle in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on him, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

Just as Song Qingming was still quickly thinking about what was wrong with him, "Lingxu Taoist" pointed to the empty tea bowl next to him and said softly:

"Hey kid, you came all the way here, you wouldn't just come empty-handed!"

"Oh! Master, please don't blame me."

Song Qingming, who understood what was going on, hurriedly took out a few bags of spiritual tea, a specialty of the immortal cultivation world in the Floating Cloud Mountains, and placed them on the table respectfully.

Seeing this, the "Taoist Lingxu", who had a stern face just now, regained a smile on his face and slowly made a large bowl of the spiritual tea that Song Qingming brought out.

"Not bad. I haven't had it for decades. I still miss the taste. I guess I'll have to visit you guys if I have the chance in the future."

After patiently sipping the fragrant spiritual tea, "Taoist Lingxu" showed a bit more satisfaction on his face, and then turned his gaze to Song Qingming standing beside him.

"I haven't seen you for decades. Your cultivation has improved quite well. Have you figured out how to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future?"

"Well, Master also knows that my aptitude is too poor.

The fact that I was able to form the golden elixir back then was also due to the skills taught by my master, which gave me the opportunity to come here and join the sect.

Although my disciple's cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Golden Core, the matter of forming a fetus is like a mountain to me, and it is difficult to comprehend. I am afraid it will not be that easy.

This time I came to the sect, I also wanted to ask Master for some advice."

“Although your talent is not as good as many of the disciples in the sect, your understanding of the techniques is no worse than theirs, otherwise you would not have achieved what you have today.

However, as you said, condensing the Nascent Soul is much more difficult than forming the Core. It is not a bad thing that you are aware of this. At least you can see yourself more clearly than those people with better talents in the sect.

You are now an outer disciple. Due to the sect rules, I cannot directly support you in condensing your Nascent Soul, but I can still give you some guidance.

In the Taixu Palace, there are many experiences and classics on forming infants left by the sect’s predecessors. I’ll say hello to Liu Yang later, and you can go in and take a look when you have time.

I've been in the door recently. If you have any questions, you can come here to find me at any time.

If you want to have a baby in the sect in the future, you can also say hello to Xingyun and the others when I am not on the mountain."

"Disciple, thank you Master!"

Upon hearing that "Taoist Lingxu" agreed to give advice on Nascent Soul formation and also agreed that he could strive for Nascent Soul stage in "Taixu Sect" in the future, Song Qingming was instantly overjoyed and quickly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Master, I have another question. How long will it take to set up the formation to slay the demons?"

“The master has been planning this for many years and will be dealing with it within a year at most. Don’t worry, it won’t delay you for long.

However, you must not leave the sect within this year, lest this matter be leaked and cause trouble for those demons outside, which would cause some trouble."

"Disciple understands!"

After getting the accurate answer from 'Taoist Lingxu', Song Qingming felt much better. After chatting with him in the cave for a while, he got up and left reluctantly.

At this time, in a dense forest on the north side of "Yuxuan Island" at the foot of the mountain, a rustling sound suddenly came from the originally very quiet forest.

After a while, a small green snake, whose body color almost blended into the surrounding forest, slowly emerged from the dense forest.

The little green snake poked out its tiny head and looked around cautiously. When it saw that there was no movement, it suddenly accelerated forward and rushed out of the dense forest behind it and came to the coast not far away.

Then, a "splash" sound was heard on the water surface, and the figure of the little green snake quickly disappeared from the spot.
