Chapter 560: Secretly Plotting Against Fellow Sect Members, Supreme Sect Master

Hong Hong Xuesheng received the talisman from the Dragon Palace and couldn't sleep at night, feeling extremely worried. He secretly thought: "Today is not like the past. My great plan is in the middle of plotting. If I am dispatched by the Dragon Palace at this time and lose this backbone to sit in command, how can other disciples block the peeping of those old monsters of the Elder Sect?"

"If my calculation is ruined, it is a matter that endangers the Dao path!"

It turned out that the power struggle within the Long-Lasting Sect was extremely fierce. Hong Hong Xuesheng was able to become this Sect Master because he was one of the youngest among the Long-Lasting Sect members who achieved Soul Transformation.

Besides him, the Long-Lasting Sect had two other Soul Transformation Supreme Elders, whose strength was not inferior to Luo Zhen.

It was just that those two Supreme Elders usually closed their doors to practice, intending to seek Nascent Soul longevity, and did not intervene in secular affairs, only letting the few Elders under their command use the prestige of the two Supreme Elders to restrain Hong Hong Xuesheng, the Sect Master.

He did not know that the divine incarnation he cultivated was part of Brother Qian Chen's incarnation. He only thought that this divine prohibition was really his own sudden realization, and in his expansion, even his own foundation had shifted towards this.

By associating with one faction and suppressing another, he could maintain balance.

But after he obtained those two supreme treasures and simultaneously refined the immortal vine gourd with the help of the spirit pearl and treasure mirror, his arrogance grew day by day. Coupled with the fact that he had recruited cronies on a large scale to collect vow-power in recent years, he had already aroused dissatisfaction from both factions, and now there was a faint trend of joining forces to deal with him, the Sect Master.

Hong Hong Xuesheng could imagine with his feet that if he, the Sect Master, left, the rush for quick success over these years would be met with backlash.

"Other times would be fine! At most, endure for a while..."

Hong Hong Xuesheng's face was calm, just looking at his few true disciples.

Seeing them each with their own calculations in their hearts, he knew that without him, this backbone to sit in command, these people would probably start fighting before the two Supreme Elders made a move!

"Now that my Divine Dao Dharma body is about to be refined and the fruit of Nascent Soul longevity is in sight, this Dragon Palace and Penglai dispatch involves a great deal. According to my investigation, it should be related to the legendary Return to Ruins Illusion Sea. I don't know how many overseas Soul Transformation cultivators are moved."

"Such a situation is unpredictable. If I don't improve my strength, it's hard to say..."

Thinking of this, a strong unwillingness rose in his heart: "If I had another sixty years, perhaps I could refine that Divine Dao incarnation into a Yang Spirit incarnation. In that case, why would I fear those two old things? It's just that at this juncture, such a thing happened!"

Brother Qian Chen in the gourd could now faintly sense his inner voice, and immediately smiled slightly. That's right! I chose this node specifically to launch it!

"Time waits for no one!"

Hong Hong Xuesheng sneered coldly, and had already made a decision in his heart.

The group of disciples below were not lacking in Nascent Soul realm figures. Seeing this, they only thought it was because of their behavior that they had aroused the Master's dissatisfaction.

But Hong Hong Xuesheng waved his hand to close the restrictions in the pavilion and said: "Before I leave, I have things to entrust to you. Those two Supreme Elders will inevitably make a move after I leave. At that time, you should unite as one and protect the Dharma lineage I have set down from being shaken..."

The disciples below naturally promised one after another, not mentioning it.

A few days later, the Supreme Elder Xia Zhenyan came to the hinterland of the sect leisurely. Seeing Hong Hong Xuesheng, he did not show much respect, only saying lightly: "Why did the Sect Master call me?"

After speaking, he passed on a piece of Dharma formula, led the crowd to the immortal vine gourd, and said: "After contemplating the Pot Heaven divine ability, this immortal vine gourd has been refined by me into a magic treasure. Today, you and I will work together to refine it into a cave heaven. In the future, when I leave, you can also rely on this treasure to contend with those two Supreme Elders!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The eldest disciple, at the late Nascent Soul stage, with a great Dharma body, asked cautiously: "Master, although this magic treasure is exquisite, how can it contend with a Soul Transformation True Person? Even with the help of several junior brothers, the disciple doesn't have this confidence!"

The other Nascent Soul disciples behind were cursing in their hearts: "Damn it! Although you, Kuiming, are the eldest brother, the Master didn't give you the power to command us on weekdays! We are all on equal footing. Now that the situation is bad, you want to take advantage of the Master's lack of confidence to ask the Master to grant you the power to restrain us. How can we let you succeed?"

Just about to open their mouths to stop him!

Unexpectedly, Hong Hong Xuesheng didn't grant this treasure or the power to punish his disciples, but sneered: "How can you know the power of the immortal vine gourd left by the Xie Xie Zushi?"

"In the past, Xie Xie Zushi Qiongming used this immortal vine gourd to defeat the Dragon Palace's Nascent Soul Dragon King. This gourd was grown on the same vine, and the fire that nurtured it exceeded that of the one the Xie Xie Zushi had. It was born by gathering the essence of the immortal vine!"

"After this gourd was picked, the immortal vine would die! After being refined into a magic treasure, it can contend with Soul Transformation. What's strange about that?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes on the gourd became different, not expecting this gourd to be so strong.

Kuiming took the opportunity to scold: "Sixth Junior Brother, you damaged the immortal vine behind the Master's back, cultivated dozens of branches, stole the essence of the immortal vine, and nurtured dozens of spirit gourds. What crime is this?"

The sixth junior brother hurriedly called out 'ten thousand deaths', kowtowing for forgiveness.

Hong Hong Xuesheng's face twitched slightly, because the reason why the sixth disciple was so bold was not others, but he himself had instructed it, in order to pull relations with the Supreme Elder Xia Zhenyan and the Xia family.

Among the three Soul Transformation figures of the Long-Lasting Sect, he, the Sect Master, had contacts with Penglai and had long been given a talisman by Penglai, finding a backer.

In the past, the annexation of Qiongquan by the Long-Lasting Sect was hinted at by Penglai and instigated by him.

And that Supreme Elder Xia Xia Zhenyan was supported by the Dragon Palace, representing the forces within the Long-Lasting Sect that leaned toward the Dragon Clan. This was why Hong Hong Xuesheng intervened to liquidate the Divine Dao forces invested as Sea-Patrolling Generals within the Long-Lasting Sect, which triggered their fierce reaction.

And the other Supreme Elder, Elder Nangong, had the oldest qualifications, but was an old monster who had seen the founding ancestor, Changliu True Person. He was the most stubborn and conservative of the Long-Lasting Sect. Even after Qiongquan merged in, it was this Supreme Elder who secretly protected them.

Hong Hong Xuesheng often used this point to divide the two Supreme Elders, preventing them from joining forces to contend with him, the Sect Master.

He naturally looked down on the dozens of spirit gourds, but he knew that Supreme Elder Xia Zhenyan was the most protective of his own family descendants, while Supreme Elder Nangong valued the Dao lineage inheritance of the Long-Lasting Sect the most.

Such collusion with the Xia family descendants and damage to the immortal vine spiritual root made the attitudes of the two Supreme Elders diverge, making it impossible for them to stand together on this matter. For a while, it might not have made the two leave each other, but over a long time, it became what it is today—Hong Hong Xuesheng pulled in the Xia family to restrain the Nangong Supreme Elder faction and sat firmly on the Sect Master's throne!

But how could he have expected that he had just damaged the immortal vine spiritual root when he accidentally obtained two great opportunities, peeked at part of the inheritance of Qiongming True Person, and refined the immortal vine gourd into his own life-bound magic treasure!

For this, he didn't know how many good things he had consumed from his private treasury to compensate for the immortal vine's vitality.

With a sense of shame from a clumsy mistake, Hong Sect Master scolded his sixth disciple a few times, and finally revealed the matter lightly, ordering a group of disciples to sit cross-legged beneath the immortal vine and gather their own magic power and true essence to bless Hong Hong Xuesheng.

He cast one talisman after another, falling onto the immortal vine gourd, continuing to refine.

The gourd mouth emitted hazy light, swallowing the talismans, and after being refined by the Divine Dao incarnation within, they turned into talismans like green cloud qi. These cloud talisman characters circled and refined into a piece...

Green clouds connected, faintly turning into restrictions, falling into the gourd and slowly deepening the refinement!

A group of disciples discovered that this gourd restriction was extremely terrifying. Their magic power was consumed by more than half, and the refinement of one layer of restriction allowed the two worlds in the gourd belly to open up several hundred miles.

Being collected into the gourd like this, even Soul Transformation True Persons couldn't escape suppression. It was indeed a strong magic treasure that could contend with Soul Transformation.

Hong Hong Xuesheng just kept urging their magic power to refine that gourd.

The first layer of restriction was fine, borrowing the magic power of these several Nascent Soul and nearly ten Core Formation cultivators, it only consumed more than half of everyone's magic power to refine it. But the second layer of restriction had already squeezed out most of everyone's magic power, and the third layer had people crying out in pain, saying: "Master, the disciple's magic power is shallow, I'm afraid I can't serve anymore, please Master, show mercy!"

Hong Hong Xuesheng just ignored it, only urging their fundamental magic power to form a piece of green cloud sea, and the third layer of restriction was achieved in one go, opening the space in the gourd to a thousand miles in size!

Brother Qian Chen in the gourd borrowed this magic power and refined the Primordial Taiji Gourd to the perfection of thirty-six Heavenly Gang restrictions in one breath, achieving the prototype of a magic treasure before stopping.

At this time, Hong Hong Xuesheng outside had already made a move. His face changed, looking at his dozens of disciples, and sneered: "My magic treasure is just waiting for you to achieve it!"

Eldest disciple Kuiming True Person's face was gloomy: "What does Master mean?"

Hong Hong Xuesheng laughed wildly: "I have spent my heart and blood to cultivate you, and now it is the time for you to repay me!"

"You are two-hearted and have colluded with Xia Xia Zhenyan. How can I be assured of letting you manage the foundation I left behind! It's better to send you all into my Myriad True Spirit Controlling Gourd, and from now on, be loyal to me!"

After speaking, he reached out and summoned, and the gourd on the immortal vine opened wide, emitting chaotic-colored light, sucking all the disciples who were caught off guard and had no resistance into it.

Then Hong Hong Xuesheng urged the Dharma formula, and the gourd turned upside down, causing the two spaces inside to flip, instantly causing the two spaces to turn upside down, and everything returned to chaos.

It was precisely the Primordial Taiji state of the five primordial states—Primordial Taiji, realized by Brother Qian Chen from the great divine ability of reversing yin and yang, where the universe's yin and yang were not yet divided and the primordial chaos was not yet opened.

This was why the gourd was called the Primordial Taiji Gourd!

It was Brother Qian Chen who contemplated the great divine ability of Pot Heaven by Qiongming True Person, borrowed some of the mysteries of the great divine ability of Heaven in the Sleeve, realized the fundamental Dharma principle of the innate Primordial Taiji Pill, and borrowed the ability of the immortal vine gourd, a spiritual root born from the ancient Heavenly Realm that fell into the Earth Immortal Realm, to open up a small world, refining two spaces of yin and yang.

Turning the gourd upside down, when the two spaces of yin and yang were reversed, everything was destroyed, and the qi of yin and yang returned to Primordial Taiji, reappearing the principle of Primordial Taiji in chaos.

Borrowing this piece of chaos in the gourd, Brother Qian Chen could almost use the qi of yin and yang to re-evolve everything.

Whether it was magic treasures, demon beasts, or even heavenly materials, earthly treasures, spirit pills, and wonderful medicines, nothing was impossible.

It itself was a magic treasure-level alchemy furnace, using the restriction method of the gourd left by the Supreme Dao Xie Xie Zushi. As long as one shook the gourd, the spiritual qi inside would be reorganized, and it could use chaos to generate everything.

Reaching out and pouring, it was spirit pills and wonderful medicines generated by chaos.

Brother Qian Chen's incarnation sat on the chaos in the gourd, holding the Profound Yellow Yellow Ruyi, and knocked downward, and those disciples who had been collected were generated again, but this time, their true spirits were thoroughly branded with the gourd's mark, and even the Nine Heavens Reincarnation couldn't take them away!

They had thoroughly become Brother Qian Chen's Dao soldiers!
