Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 462 Tushan

The vast emptiness ripples gently.

A man emerged from the darkness, a seven-foot tall, imposing figure, dressed in an earth-yellow Taoist robe, with a halo of divine light behind him—it was Xu Hei!

As a newly promoted Purple Mansion True Person, he had an excellent opportunity to make friends with the Nine-Tailed Demon Qiu Jin, so he naturally arrived earlier than the other True Persons. He wandered through the Great Void and soon crossed the ancient Shu lands, entering the northern grasslands.

After an unknown amount of time, a mountain suddenly appeared ahead. Its color was dark blue, and it faintly carried the meaning of the Purple Mansion Forbidden Array, extending into the void and forming a cliff.

As Xu Hei stepped out of the void, the Qingqiu Mountain became even clearer, brimming with vitality, with many foxes lying around it.

Some of them have mixed fur and have not yet transformed, clearly belonging to the lowest level of the nine-tailed foxes. Occasionally, a few pure white foxes walk by, all of them haughty and arrogant, like nobles among the crowd.

As Xu Hei appeared, a young woman with fox ears, dressed in a red and white robe resembling that of a court lady, came forward to greet him: "Master, you have come from afar. Please enter the Qingxuan Hall and be served tea."

In her arms she held a fox with bright silver and snow-white fur, as smooth and warm as jade, its two tails hanging down leisurely.

"Lead the way." Xu Hei remained silent, allowing Fang Qing to see everything in the Nine-Tailed Fox territory through his perspective.

After walking for a short while, they came to a palace, which was covered with silver foil and shimmered with silver light. The steps were paved with beautiful jade and decorated with silver patterns, which looked like flowing mercury.

"Taiyin's affinity for silver is indeed well-deserved." Xu Hei sighed inwardly and walked into Qingxuan Palace.

The hall was enormous. Even though he arrived very early, several True Immortals of the Purple Mansion had already arrived before him, sitting cross-legged and chatting.

One of the female cultivators, dressed in a gorgeous Taoist robe with a slit that went all the way up to her thighs, revealing two ivory-like legs, had a wooden sword hanging at her waist. She was none other than Master Suqing!

She saw the lady's radiant light roll past, and a True Person entered the main hall. She immediately greeted her: "Yi Suqing of the Heavenly Horn Gate greets this fellow Daoist. You cultivate the Female Earth Dao, are you from the White Bone Dao?"

"Indeed, I am Xu Hei, Daoist name An Yuanzi. I greet you, fellow Daoist..." Xu Hei said irritably.

When Su Qing returned to the outer sea, she entered the Tianjiao Sect and disappeared for many years. When she reappeared, her cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and there was a faint Dao Foundation gathering in her dantian, indicating that her foundation was extremely solid.

This woman was, after all, a reincarnated being, and had consumed a powerful elixir made of gold. Upon returning to the Heavenly Horn Sect, she was suspected of receiving guidance from some being, and her cultivation naturally progressed by leaps and bounds.

Furthermore, she was quite familiar with the Temple of No Forms of All Beings, and upon seeing the radiant light emanating from the "Lady," she knew that someone from this path had descended.

"So it's An Yuanzi. Why isn't the White Bone Dharma King here this time?" Su Qing asked.

"How could I, a mere early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, possibly know the Dharma King's meaning?" Xu Hei smiled bitterly.

"Not bad... Let me introduce you. These are all fellow Daoists from the outer seas." Su Qing smiled and led Xu Hei to her own little circle, introducing them one by one.

One of them is a Fire Virtue Purple Mansion, entirely crimson with burning fire patterns, and with a golden belt hanging from its waist. It is a Purple Mansion that fled from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the outer sea, and calls itself "True Man of Peony Fire". It cultivates [Purple Fire]!

"Not Hou Xia?" Xu Hei was genuinely curious about this.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but the Later Xia dynasty was closely related to a certain lord. After that lord's death, the Later Xia dynasty immediately ceased to exist..."

From then on, the northern part of the Dayi Xuanmen area was restored to the name of Northern Zhou, but the southern part did not have Southern Wu. Instead, a Yun family was supported and a state named "Yue" was established! Therefore, it was called the land of Southern Yue, only much smaller than Southern Wu in the past..." Another female cultivator from the Purple Mansion explained with a smile.

Her features were delicate, and her smile was gentle, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

But for some reason, several Purple Mansion True Persons nearby seemed to be avoiding it.

Even Su Qing secretly reminded Xu Hei: "This woman claims to be 'Gushe Mountain Man'... Her supernatural abilities are unpredictable and mysterious, seemingly able to hear people's thoughts and see through their supernatural powers, therefore even a Purple Mansion True Person is unwilling to get too close."

"I see, thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist." Xu Hei thanked him solemnly, and then asked, "May I ask what the background and origins of the demon king who broke through in the Nine-Tailed Clan this time?"

'

"The Nine-Tailed Clan is mainly composed of foxes, and among the foxes, the 'Tushan Clan' is the most prestigious. The one who is about to break through is one of the nobles named 'Tushan Qi'... He cultivates the [Heart Moon] lineage, which combines Yin and Yang. In terms of profound mystery, it surpasses even the Metal and Fire Clans. However, it has always been rare. The authority of Yin is kept secret by the demon race, and the authority of Yang is only held by the Great Snow Mountain and the Hehuan Sect," explained Master Suqing.

"The Taiyin Daoist system is mysterious and unpredictable. The search for gold in the future will surely be extremely exciting." Xu Hei smiled slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Qi Refining Channel.

Yunzhou Continent.

The Tu Shan clan... the nine-tailed fox... stood before a cave dwelling, gazing at the bolts of lightning.

At this moment, the endless thunderbolts transformed into swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, crashing down with a deafening roar!

However, before they could even get close to Fang Qing, they were completely blocked by the Heavenly Treasure "Mysterious Thunder Drum".

Even more so, bathed in bolts of lightning, this heaven-reaching treasure shone even brighter, as if it had undergone a baptism.

"Is the Yuanlei Cave open?"

Could it be that the once-in-a-millennium Yuan Lei Secret Realm is about to open ahead of schedule?

"Quickly inform the Ancestor! We will reward you handsomely!"

The nearby cultivators were filled with excitement and awe when they saw the lightning that had always surrounded the cave being activated.

Transmission talismans flew everywhere, and soon after, a Nascent Soul cultivator directly tore through the void and arrived.

After all, this Yuanlei Cave was originally just the place where a Nascent Soul cultivator of Thunder Law passed away, but after several cultivators mistakenly entered, they discovered that it actually connected to a Thunder Secret Realm!

Many of the spiritual items produced there are even quite effective in reducing the power of heavenly tribulation!

This led many Nascent Soul cultivators to enter the treasure hunt. Although the casualties were heavy, over the thousands of years, there have always been many lucky ones who obtained many treasures.

Among them was even a Profound Thunder Sacred Fruit, which was rumored to be quite beneficial for breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, this Yuanlei Secret Realm is vaguely known as the number one opportunity in Yunzhou Tianlu.

But at this moment, even though there were still hundreds of years before the secret realm opened, for some unknown reason, the lightning formation was activated prematurely. The great cultivator's face was filled with greed as he stared at the vast lightning, his eyes filled with excitement: "Could it be... that the secret realm is already unstable and is about to shatter?"

"If that's the case, it truly is the best opportunity to obtain those precious treasures!"

His divine sense was all-pervasive, and he detected no danger whatsoever.

But what he saw was a young man in black robes, who was looking at the sky full of lightning with great interest.

A cyan lightning bolt appeared around the opponent, greedily devouring the lightning descending from the sky, as if it were an ocean embracing all rivers.

"Has this person reached the level of a deity?"

The great cultivator inwardly groaned, just as Fang Qing below casually ordered, "Get down!"

"yes!"

His expression changed, he concealed his escape light, and knelt down in front of Fang Qing, saying, "Greetings, Senior."

"Do you recognize Tianyin?" Fang Qing asked casually.

"I am young and naturally recognize Tian Yin. Although he is a great cultivator, he is of despicable character and is resisted by many old monsters. Just then, the cultivation world in the East Sea suffered a great change, so he formed the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce and went to the East Sea to carry out his thieving schemes under the guise of doing business. We all gave him some support with the idea of ​​sending away a plague god."

"Later, I heard that the man died at the hands of the leader of the Myriad Stars Alliance, which was truly gratifying..."

This young cultivator clearly recognized Fang Qing, and spoke with great caution, even trembling slightly.

"I see. No wonder no one in Yunzhou has sought revenge since Tianyin's death." Fang Qing shook his head.

Of course, it's also possible that Zhan Hongxiu's strength is too terrifying, so much so that even Tianyin Shangren's cronies wouldn't dare to touch her.

"This time, you see the secret realm opened ahead of schedule, so you want to get a share of the profits?" He looked at the young cultivator with a half-smile on his face.

"I wouldn't dare. With a senior here, this junior is only willing to guard the gate for you," the young cultivator hurriedly replied.

"Haha, you're quite clever." Fang Qing spread his five fingers, and the lightning in the sky seemed to come alive instantly, flowing erratically under his will. "Manipulating the lightning spiritual power between heaven and earth?" The young cultivator was taken aback, then saw that the Thunder Forbidden Land that had hindered his family for many years seemed to have welcomed its master, with countless lightning creatures prostrating themselves and voluntarily opening the gate to the secret realm.

Whoosh!

A portal of lightning appeared, and behind it, one could vaguely see mountains, trees, pavilions, and towers.

Fang Qing scanned the area, activating the Jade Thunder Technique to sense it, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face: although it was related to [Mysterious Thunder], the Golden Position was not here. He then looked at the young, powerful cultivator: "Since you've come, it must be fate. Come with me to explore this secret realm..."

The young cultivator secretly groaned. Exploring a secret realm with a Nascent Soul Venerable was surely going to make him cannon fodder!

But seeing Fang Qing's smiling gaze, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. "Since Senior has given the order, this junior will naturally obey," the young cultivator gritted his teeth and said.

"Very good." Fang Qing nodded.

This person was able to cultivate to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so naturally he had a certain destiny; he was destined for greatness.

According to the experience of the Dao of Qi Cultivation, when exploring such secret realms, bringing a few Fate Stones is always a safe bet.

"Hmm, this secret realm is quite interesting. It not only doesn't reject Nascent Soul cultivators, but it also doesn't reject Deity Transformation cultivators..." Fang Qing smiled slightly. Although there were no Golden Realm cultivators in this secret realm, there were items that had been touched by the aura and karma of the Golden Realm, just like the 'Mysterious Thunder Drum' and the 'Myriad Thunder Palace Diagram'.

Once he has collected numerous causal items, who can he choose for the [Mysterious Thunder] Gold Position? As for secret realms, that's not a problem either. After becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, combined with his own Void Power, he already has the ability to destroy secret realms on his own.

It was only because this secret realm was sensible that Fang Qing didn't mind shaking it down, causing many treasures to appear directly in the world.
