I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 563 Entering the game
Master Liehuo's gaze lingered on the precious carriage for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

But in the blink of an eye, he returned to normal, cupped his hands in greeting to the precious carriage, and then turned around and led his men to fly towards Crimson Cloud Immortal Island.

As the Crimson Sky Immortal Island drew ever closer, True Immortal Liehuo thought of Lanxi behind him, his eyes revealing a complex mix of anticipation, greed, and solemnity.

He held his millennium birthday banquet ninety years ago, and his disciple Bai Xuzi died ninety-three years ago.

Given Bai Xuzi's shrewdness, it was impossible for him to knowingly ask for a mermaid woman in front of Lan Xi, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone have any improper thoughts about her!

Furthermore, the most renowned magical artifact of Canglan Palace is the Mermaid King's Silk, while the magical artifact that Lanxi used to chase down Huoxuan Zhenren was a large sword. This sword is clearly much more powerful than the Mermaid King's Silk. Even with the resources of the Chixiao Sect, they do not possess a magical artifact of this level.

In the past ten thousand years, the most powerful figures produced by Canglan Palace were only at the late Nascent Soul stage. Now, besides Lanxi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, there is another Nascent Soul cultivator in the carriage, and all the accompanying cultivators are late Nascent Soul mermaids...

Upon closer examination of this information, the ancient cultivator, Master Liehuo, easily deduced that Canglan Palace must have obtained a great opportunity.

Otherwise, how could their strength have increased so dramatically in such a short period of time!

In spiritual practice, besides relying on one's own conditions, there is another crucial factor: opportunity!

With good luck, even people with average conditions can soar to great heights!
True Man Liehuo is already a second-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. According to the normal procedure, his next step should be to relinquish his position as sect leader and head to Nanzhen Jishan.

However, there are many powerful figures in Nanzhen Jishan. Even with his cultivation level, if he went to Nanzhen Jishan, he would have to obey other people's orders and enter the dangerous Demon Refining Abyss to accumulate merit. How could that compare to the prestige and freedom in the Chixiao Sea?

Therefore, if possible, Master Liehuo would like to stay in this vast Crimson Sky Sea for a few more years.

However, the external environment is deteriorating, and the longer he stays outside, the greater the danger he will face when he undergoes the three tribulations in the future.

Unless, he gets a great opportunity.

That's a different story, of course!
And now, Lanxi's arrival is a great opportunity.

However, Lanxi is a Nascent Soul cultivator who has survived two Heavenly Tribulations in her physical body, and there is also a Nascent Soul cultivator who has undergone one Tribulation in the treasure carriage. The combined strength of the two is naturally extraordinary.

Even though they were led to Crimson Sky Immortal Island, which had powerful formations and was overseen by a master, True Man Liehuo remained solemn and dared not be careless or relaxed in the slightest.

Although Crimson Sky Immortal Island is called an island, it is actually as vast as the Great Xuan Domain.

The mountains and rivers are majestic and magnificent, and the island has many spiritual places for cultivation. Many spiritual herbs and fruits grow in the mountains and forests.

In the center of Crimson Cloud Immortal Island lies a vast, misty lake.

In the center of the lake is an island.

The island has towering peaks that reach into the clouds, shrouded in mist and rising with a purple aura.

Looking into the distance, the clouds and mist rise and fall, and the islands and peaks in the lake appear and disappear. Occasionally, the golden light of palaces and the glow of treasures shine through, making it truly like a fairyland.

This island is called Xianxiao Island, and it is the core stronghold of the Chixiao Sect.

It is also the place where the Supreme Elder of the Crimson Cloud Sect cultivates in seclusion.

Only Nascent Soul disciples at the elder level are qualified to set foot here.

Like the previous patrolling protectors, even though they were Nascent Soul cultivators, they were not qualified to set foot on Immortal Cloud Island.

Soon, Lanxi and her group arrived at Xianxiao Island with True Person Liehuo.

Seeing that Lanxi and her group had no suspicions and followed him all the way to Xianxiao Island, True Man Liehuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Palace Mistress Lanxi, I feel deeply ashamed about the suffering of your people. On the way here, I have been thinking about how to explain this to you."

After the guests and hosts were seated, Master Liehuo spoke words of shame and explanation, but his face wore a relaxed and contented smile.

It was as if everything was already under his control.

"Oh, I wonder what explanation True Master Liehuo has in store for me?" Lanxi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked. "It would be more appropriate for my great-grandfather to discuss this with you." True Master Liehuo said, standing up and bowing towards the outside of the hall.

The other three Nascent Soul cultivators also quickly stood up.

At that moment, a short, stocky man walked in.

Behind him, a shimmering sea of ​​fire surged, within which a crimson fire tortoise emerged.

With an imposing aura, he was clearly a fourth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Accompanying him in was a female cultivator who had undergone the second tribulation and transformed into a goddess.

"I've met my ancestor!"

The Supreme Elder of the Crimson Cloud Sect and the Fiery True Man in the main hall bowed and paid their respects.

When Yuanji and the other eight late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators saw a fourth-tribulation and a second-tribulation Nascent Soul ancestor suddenly arrive, their expressions changed abruptly.

However, when they saw that Lanxi and Xia Daoming were still sitting in their seats with normal expressions, their expressions returned to normal.

When the short, stocky man saw that Lan Xi and Xia Daoming could remain so calm and composed even when they saw him, a fourth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, a look of surprise and disbelief flashed across his eyes, followed by a look of anger.

However, in the blink of an eye, the short, stocky man's expression returned to calm.

He nodded to Master Liehuo and the others, then slowly walked through the main hall and sat down in the seat representing the master.

"It's been almost a thousand years since I've returned to the Crimson Sky Sea. I never imagined that the Merfolk would produce such a formidable figure as the Palace Master!" After the short, stocky man sat down, he cupped his hands in greeting to Lan Xi and said leisurely.

"You flatter me, fellow Daoist," Lanxi replied with a polite and respectful bow.

"I deeply sympathize with the plight of the Merfolk. But since it has already happened, there is no point in saying anything more."

"The best course of action now is to ensure the true rise of the Merfolk and end their tragic fate of being bullied, kidnapped, and sold forever," the short, stocky man said.

Lanxi remained expressionless upon hearing this, but inwardly she sneered.

She was simply innocent and kind by nature, but she was also extremely intelligent.

Now that things have come to this, how could she not know that Master Liehuo had ulterior motives from the very beginning?

Simply put, with her husband backing her up, she had nothing to fear and allowed the Chixiao Sect to perform, to see what their true intentions were.

"As the saying goes, cooperation benefits both sides, while fighting harms both." Seeing that Lanxi did not respond, the short and stocky man continued, "My Crimson Cloud Sect is the overlord of the Crimson Cloud Sea. My great-grandson, True Man Liehuo, is exceptionally talented and has had many extraordinary encounters. He is only a thousand years old, yet he has already survived two Heavenly Tribulations in his physical body."

The Palace Master of Lanxi Palace has also survived two Heavenly Tribulations at a young age. You two belong to the element of fire and water, so why don't I make the decision for you two to become Daoist partners? This way, you can not only resolve your grudges with a smile and join forces, ensuring that no one will dare to bully the Merfolk in the future, but the fusion of water and fire will also greatly benefit your respective cultivation, and you may even be able to survive three Heavenly Tribulations.

Of course, Palace Master Lanxi could refuse, but this place is a vital stronghold of our Chixiao Sect. Hidden dangers lurk beneath this great lake. If things escalate, while our Chixiao Sect will certainly suffer losses, I'm afraid Palace Master Lanxi and all of you will have to remain here.”

In the end, the short, stocky man smiled, holding a magic seal carved with multiple ancient fiery birds and beasts in one hand and stroking his beard with the other, exuding the demeanor of an elder and wise man.

As the short, stocky man raised the mudra, suddenly a colossal wave surged up in the vast lake outside.

Then, one after another, volcanic peaks rose from the bottom of the lake and spewed flames, which manifested as ancient fire-breathing ferocious birds and beasts.

There are Crimson Fire Turtle, Fire Qilin, Huodou, Bifang...

There were as many as nine heads.

Each one exuded an aura comparable to that of a second-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

　Today's work is now complete.
