Starting with the creation of the Immortal Clan through the compilation of the family genealogy.

Chapter 124 The storm is coming
Sensing an opportunity for a breakthrough, Meng Xihong did not choose an ordinary quiet room, but went directly to the core of the secret realm, next to the top-grade spiritual vein.

The spiritual energy here is so dense it's almost tangible; every breath is filled with a refreshing coolness, and the presence of an old tortoise guarding you makes you feel even more at ease.

Meng Xihong sat cross-legged, using his "literary spirit and integrity" to fully deduce the subsequent techniques of the "Furnace Classic".

His path is one of protection, creation, and inheritance. And creation is the key to his breakthrough!

After a month, he finally completed the deduction of the Yi Jin chapter of the Honglu Jing!

This chapter is also divided into nine levels. The first to third levels are called "Igniting the Furnace", which uses the power of the dantian as a guide to ignite the blood furnace and cultivate the "Furnace True Body", which is comparable to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The fourth to sixth levels are called "True Yang Body Forging," which draws in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, blends it with the true fire of blood and qi, and forges a "Jade Body of Glazed Glass," comparable to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

The moment he deduced the "Jade Body of Glazed Glass" method, the "Five Elements Opening Heaven Scripture" he created within his body suddenly began to operate!
The five-colored Dao foundation within his dantian spun wildly, unleashing a suction force far exceeding the ordinary.

In an instant, the entire superior spiritual vein trembled, and a visible torrent of spiritual energy was forcibly extracted, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy around him, which frantically poured into his body!

The bottleneck was broken in an instant!

The middle stage of foundation building!

His magical power was more than three times stronger than before.

However, the breakthroughs did not stop there!

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Meng Xihong, with a thought, channeled his newly broken-through, incomparably powerful Five Elements magic...

Following the methods of the "Yi Jin Pian" chapter of the "Hong Lu Jing", he transformed into a spark of fire and boldly threw it into his body, which had already reached the peak of body tempering and whose blood and qi were as pure as mercury!
"boom!"

A deafening roar originating from the very soul!

His resilient body instantly transformed into a real furnace!

Qi and blood are the fuel, and magical power is the ignition source.

An excruciating pain, far exceeding any previous body-refining experience, erupted from the depths of every inch of flesh and blood in his limbs.

But he only grunted, his eyes bloodshot, and frantically circulated his internal energy, using this newly generated "furnace fire" to temper himself.

After an unknown amount of time, as the vortex of spiritual energy slowly subsided, the excruciating pain within Meng Xihong's body also receded like a tide.

He slowly opened his eyes, his body shimmering with a divine light, every inch of his skin containing explosive power.

Cultivating both immortal and martial arts, advancing side by side!
Not only did he break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in Qi Refining, but he also successfully entered the first stage of the Yi Jin Jing – Furnace Ignition!
Everything seemed to be moving in the best possible direction.

Even the third son, Meng Yan'an, who was cursed by the demon, had his evil black rune between his eyebrows fade to almost invisible under the nourishment of the body-refining essence flowing in from all directions.

His originally bloodless face gradually regained a rosy hue, and the breath of life grew stronger and stronger.

However, Meng Xihong could never truly find peace in his heart.

This unease did not stem from the sect's clamor, but rather from the deathly silence outside.

Since the founding ceremony, when the Tianyan Sect shocked southern Qingzhou with its thunderous force, several months have passed, and neither the Qinglan Sect, which was publicly humiliated, nor the evil heretics who regard body cultivators as food, have made any move, as if nothing had happened.

This abnormality was like the calm before the storm, oppressive and suffocating.

He knew that the calmer the surface of the water, the more turbulent the undercurrents were.

[Daily Divination, Today's Hexagram: Extremely Inauspicious! Dragons and snakes mingle in the marsh; a tall tree will inevitably attract wind. ...The fortune is moderate; it is advisable to use oneself as bait to seek victory amidst danger; avoid alerting the enemy, as courage without strategy is futile.]

Bad luck!

Meng Xihong's heart sank!
Since he established his foundation, the divination has rarely shown such a clear ominous sign!

This foreshadows an imminent and immense crisis that could threaten the very survival of the entire Tianyan Sect!
"A tall tree will always attract wind..." He muttered these words to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

What was supposed to come finally came.

At the very moment he saw the divination result, He Wen's urgent knocking came from outside the quiet room.

"Sect Master, urgent secret report!" Meng Xihong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately got up to open the door.

He Wen's face was solemn as he handed over a secret letter sent through the highest-level channels.

Meng Xihong unfolded it and his pupils suddenly contracted.

The contents of the secret letter were simple, yet shocking.

Firstly, the infamous Blood God Cult of Qingzhou openly declared that the body refiners of the Tianyan Sect were the world's top "humanoid medicines," and offered a high reward to all Tianyan Sect disciples.

In an instant, all the evil and heretical sects within Qingzhou were stirred up by the news and became restless!
Secondly, the Qinglan Sect sent an envoy with an invitation, earnestly inviting the Sect Master of the Tianyan Sect to the Qinglan Sect's mountain gate to "enjoy tea and discuss the Dao," and to settle the "misunderstanding" surrounding Elder Li's unexpected death.

One is a butcher's knife from evil, the other is a "Feast at Hongmen" from a reputable sect.

Jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards simultaneously bared their fangs.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

The night was as dark as ink, and a cold wind swept through the secret valley, bringing with it a sense of desolation.

Meng Xihong stood at the door of the quiet room, holding the thin secret letter in his hand.

"I see."

After a long silence, Meng Xihong finally spoke, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

He handed the secret letter back to He Wen, turned around and walked back to the quiet room, calmly saying, "Notify Senior Yun Songzi, as well as the heads and deputy heads of the various halls, to come here to discuss matters in a quarter of an hour. Also, have your sister-in-law come over as well."

"Yes, Sect Master!" He Wen accepted the order without the slightest delay and quickly turned to leave.

In the quiet room, Meng Xihong sat down again, his eyes slightly closed, but his mind was racing.

This is the first time such an ominous divination has appeared since he successfully established his foundation.

A sign of "great misfortune" was paired with a "mediocre" fortune.

"Using oneself as bait, seeking victory in danger..." Meng Xihong repeatedly pondered these eight words, a glint of light gradually appearing in his eyes.

This divination is telling him that retreating will lead to certain death.

To break the deadlock, we must take the initiative and put ourselves in the most dangerous position in order to draw out all the hidden enemies and achieve victory in one fell swoop.

Soon, the door to the quiet room was pushed open again.

Yun Songzi was the first to sway in, carrying a half-finished notebook. He started complaining as soon as he entered.

"Hey kid, what are you doing up so late at night? I'm only halfway through writing 'Three Hundred Questions for Admission to Haoran Academy,' which I'm compiling for Yan Wei, and I'm really bursting with inspiration..."

But when he saw Meng Xihong's serious and somewhat frightening expression, he swallowed the rest of his sentence.

He had seen far too many storms in his life, and he could tell at a glance that something serious had happened to Meng Xihong.

Bai Muyun followed closely behind. She didn't say anything, but quickly walked to Meng Xihong's side.

Ji Beichuan and Zhang Xianghua, on the other hand, looked menacing, standing on either side of the door like two door gods.

Ji Beichuan spoke directly, his voice as cold as ice: "Sect Master, who doesn't know their own mortality?"

The last to enter were Zhao Tieshan and Fang Henwan.

These two men, who had spent years living on the edge, possessed a calm and collected demeanor. They stood silently in a corner, their sharp gazes sweeping over everyone present.

Everyone has arrived.
