Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 463 Seeking Gold

He accepted the explanation.

Qingqiu.

As the day of Tushan Qi's quest for gold drew closer, one after another, the Purple Mansion True Persons, who were rarely seen under normal circumstances, gathered together.

Xu Hei was only a newly promoted cultivator at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and among the group of True Immortals, he was considered to be among the weaker ones.

Fortunately, the Purple Mansion is extremely prestigious, so no real person is arrogant and incompetent, making enemies at will and deliberately trying to humiliate him.

In reality, once one achieves the Purple Mansion realm, there is not much difference between them and established Purple Mansion early or mid-stage True Persons.

As long as one is focused on escaping, one can always escape from the void, and this is especially deadly for lower-level cultivators.

Unless some great master dislikes Xu Hei... but Xu Hei has a secret background, and no great master would deliberately provoke the karma of the secret realm.

It was dusk.

The world was bathed in golden light, and scattered throughout the void were figures of people.

Xu Hei had greeted Su Qing Zhenren and mingled in the small circle of early-stage Purple Mansion cultivators, which broadened his horizons.

"This time, the Nine-Tailed Demon sought gold, and only one person from the Secret Treasury came; he was the monk from the Great Treasury Temple."

He looked westward and saw five strange golden figures sitting cross-legged in the void, surrounded by a forest of red maple trees and wolves and beasts, all surrounding a man with a short haircut and wearing a red and yellow monk's robe, his clothes as red as blood. It was none other than 'Shou Zang Xuan'.

Apart from that, not a single Dharma Lord descended!

"This... could something big have happened in the Secret Realm? No, that doesn't make sense. If that were the case, the White Bone Path would have informed me... So it means their relationship with the demon race is strained?"

Since the arrival of the esoteric monks in the east, the esoteric Buddhist community has always maintained close ties with the demon race.

For some reason, Xu Hei felt a shadow fall over his heart.

Even though he had already achieved the Purple Mansion realm and was a True Person, he would receive courtesy wherever he went, but he was still completely unaware of the conflicts between these great lineages.

He then turned his gaze away and looked south.

As dusk settled, a blue-faced, fanged corpse sat cross-legged, its massive body resembling a mountain, with numerous figures standing on its shoulders and head.

"Since the Yin Corpse Sect's sect leader died during the attack on Xituo, a new sect leader has been selected? I heard that he is not at the Purple Mansion Perfection level, but he is still at the Great True Person level."

Xu Hei's dark eyes flashed as he saw a figure wearing a bronze mask on the top of the corpse-refining head, who looked very much like the previous Yin Corpse Sect Master. He couldn't help but shrink back.

The White Bone Path and the Yin Corpse Sect are sworn enemies, and the other party is a Grand Master who could potentially cause his demise.

As for Moyun Cliff? With the successive deaths of its sect leaders, it was already showing signs of decline. This time, no Grand Masters came to attend the ceremony; only two Purple Mansion Masters stood in the void.

To the east and north, there were the Purple Mansion and a group of demon kings who came from the territory of the Eastern Taiyi Xuanmen.

Besides sects and independent individuals from the outer seas like Su Qing, the Nine Heavens Fire Palace and the Wu Yue Sword Pavilion also sent their Purple Palace members.

The Nine Heavens Fire Palace must be a flag bearer, with streaks of raging flames stretching across the void.

The Wu-Yue Sword Pavilion sent a great sword immortal, known as the Daoist, who then caused countless golden energies to churn and transform into the shape of flying feather swords.

Just as Xu Hei was observing, the sun gradually set outside, and the world became dark.

A crescent moon, like a hook, casts its cool, clear light, as if mercury were spilling onto the ground.

【心月】 means the rising moon.

Therefore, seeking gold at the time of sunset and sunrise is the most opportune moment...

Xu Hei heard a real person speak.

Before long, a beam of pure white light streaked across Mount Qingqiu like a ribbon, landing on the summit and revealing a young man in white.

His face was youthful, but his eyes held a sense of vicissitude.

The foxes that filled the mountain suddenly revealed their true forms and began to worship the moon.

"I am Tu Shan Qi, and I am here today to seek gold. I am grateful to all of you for coming from afar to witness this ceremony." Tu Shan Qi said calmly, first bowing to the four directions.

As a True Person who has reached the pinnacle of the Four Laws and perfected the Purple Palace, his manners are impeccable. Unlike a Demon King, he is more like a courteous human gentleman.

A rich glow of the "Heart Moon" gathered on its body, conjuring numerous moon marks and shadows, accompanied by other unusual phenomena such as the Toad Official, Osmanthus Blossoms, and Jade Rabbit.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind... The Taiyin Seeking Gold is a rare and grand event, how could I not come?" A flag bearer in the Nine Heavens Fire Palace said loudly.

"Indeed. Never before in history has such a golden age existed; now is the perfect time to seek gold and prove one's path!"

A sharp, piercing sound emanated from the churning golden energy.

"In ancient times, those who sought gold often perished, but only those who succeeded after the Kitchen God's time... This ushered in a great era. Countless old folks have secretly preserved their lives, stubbornly dragging it out until now."

A thought popped into Xu Hei's mind.

It must be said that Tu Shanqi is lucky. At least he doesn't have to kneel down at Luofeng Mountain for ten years like the great demon Suwu did before, only to find a dead end in his quest for gold!

The opponent truly has a chance to reach the [Heart Moon] Gold position!
