Chapter 974: Heavy Fire (112) (Extra update 310 for the Silver Alliance of 'Little Finger Hook')

The True Person in golden-white robes sat in the mountains, hands forming seals, protecting his Qi sea. One by one, Mingyang Heavenly Light divine abilities were pouring in under the guidance of his fingers, sinking into it.

The Heavenly Gate divine ability in the Qi sea was brilliant, polishing and suppressing a treasure as round as a Golden Core. The long-term grinding made the divine abilities on this treasure flicker, constantly decaying.

I don't know how long it had been, but finally, Heavenly Light was seen falling. The treasure as round as a Golden Core shook violently, and the various light colors protecting it retreated. The surrounding Heavenly Light immediately swarmed in like crazy, pouring into it, dyeing it the golden color of Mingyang! "Finally refined!"

Li Xieming's heart shook, joy surged up, and sure enough, various messages poured into his mind.

【Heavy Fire Two Mingyi】! He suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand, and that spirit treasure as round as a Golden Core appeared in his palm. It was deep red all over, with circles and rings of golden threads entwined around it, condensing into five rings of color. Li Fire circled, emitting a scorching aura.

'Li Fire spirit treasure! A Li Fire spirit treasure quite related to Xuan Si!'

His heart moved, and the miraculousness of 【Heavy Fire Two Mingyi】 surged into his heart in an instant. There were actually five divine abilities!

The first was 【Li Ming】, which was the Li light of this object in the grotto-heaven. It was known as Li light being staggered and thick as the East Sea. It could cover illusions and colors, shroud a side, and have the effect of confusing and binding. The range was extremely wide, much larger than the jade ruler 【Shichuan】 at Li Xieming's own waist. As long as the magic power was sufficient, it could even expand continuously, shrouding a place.

Although this 【Li Ming】 didn't have much influence on Li Zhouwei, that was because it was broken by 'Jun Daowei'. An ordinary True Person falling into it would definitely have to spend quite a bit of effort, feeling bound hand and foot.

The second was 【Chongguang】, which was also an extremely special fighting method. The speed was extremely fast, with the power of repulsion and sweeping. Once hit by the light, the power of light separation would sound, constantly pushing and moving the enemy.

And 【Chongguang】 could increase its power by relying on the Li Fire that the owner put into it. Although it could only put in one type of Li Fire, as long as it was put into it, 【Chongguang】 would have the characteristics and power of this type of Li Fire, and its plasticity was extremely strong.

'Now I can only put in 【Red Pheasant Rushing Li Flame】, which should be more spiritual and refine all metals. If I find a Li Fire famous for its power in the future, such as 【Tianxing Li Rain】... the power can go up another level!'

These two divine abilities were comparable to the greatest divine ability of a spirit artifact, but they were only auxiliary means of 【Heavy Fire Two Mingyi】. The true power was concentrated in the divine ability 【Xuan Grab】! The five layers of golden threads surrounding 【Heavy Fire Two Mingyi】 were cast from 【White Day Clear Pivot Gold】, refined for a hundred years in 【Jin Wu Bright Flame】, refined to be incorruptible, indestructible, and never scattered or lost. Once 【Xuan Grab】 was unfolded, the five layers of golden threads would descend from the sky, each turning into a light.

This light could disperse magic spells and lock weapons, with infinite miraculous uses. It only feared He Water. If the Li Fire cultivation was extremely high and one practiced the relevant orthodoxy, one could use it for more changes... Even when the orthodoxy was completed and the cultivation was extremely high, once 【Xuan Grab】 was unfolded, the magic body could exchange positions with these five layers of golden threads at any time, which was even more mysterious.

Even for a person like Li Xieming whose orthodoxy was not quite the same, just relying on the ability of 【White Day Clear Pivot Gold】 to be incorruptible, indestructible, and never scattered or lost was enough to be powerful! The remaining two divine abilities, one was 【Dao Gong】, which was a divine ability to assist in the cultivation of Li Fire and True Fire, which could be considered a treasure for preaching, and the other was 【Qun Guang】.

Once the 【Qun Guang】 divine ability was displayed, it would stir up the spirit objects in 【Heavy Fire Two Mingyi】, descending brilliant light to suppress strange Daos and grind away evil spirits...

But what made Li Xieming embarrassed was that the so-called suppression of strange Daos by the 【Qun Guang】 divine ability seemed to also have an effect on the current Zifu Golden Core Dao... He was the owner of the spirit treasure, so it didn't matter, but if he was fighting with a fellow Daoist, the display of the 【Qun Guang】 divine ability would also be a troublesome matter.

"But it can already be considered a good divine ability..."

Li Xieming thought to this point, his heart already secretly shocked:

'No wonder True Person Element years ago could roam freely just by relying on a 【Xinyou Luze Seal】, and even cultivators at the Zifu mid-stage feared him. This ancient spirit treasure is really powerful... He combined life divine abilities and body divine abilities... Who would want to provoke him intentionally...'

What's more, the 【Xinyou Luze Seal】 was still something of the ancient feathered snake, rumored to even have the qualifications of a magic treasure. 【Heavy Fire Two Mingyi】 was estimated to be a few points worse.

His thoughts had not yet dissipated, and his spiritual sense was cast into 【Heavy Fire Two Mingyi】. He wanted to examine it carefully, but he was slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, what crashed into his mind was a vast, mysterious, and complex long-form Dao discourse!

This object actually contained a legacy, called 【Nanli Food-Taking Method】, which was actually an ancient orthodox immortal Dao method of breathing!

This was not any Zifu Golden Core Dao, nor any Heaven Fetus Witch Talisman, but the most authentic and orthodox immortal Dao 【Breathing and Nature-Nurturing Dao】 cultivation technique legacy.

This was tens of thousands of words, golden books and Xuan seals, mysterious and infinite, explaining the Li Fire Great Dao, resonating and combining with heaven and earth to seek miraculousness—this seeking of miraculousness was a yellow crown, seeking to the body was a True Person, seeking to the position was a True Monarch Feathered Scholar. There wasn't even half a word about fetus breathing, Qi refining, or Zifu! Li Xieming read it over and over, and his heart suddenly became clear: 'Sure enough, it is the orthodoxy of that little Wang Jianxian of yesteryear!'

That little Wang Jianxian years ago said it very clearly. The Yinghua Wang family practiced the 【Breathing and Nature-Nurturing Dao】, and the 【Zifu Golden Core Dao】 that now calls itself the immortal Dao and the orthodox demonic Dao of the North are the same path in their eyes, both are evil paths...

'It is actually the method of ancient immortal cultivators. No wonder it needs to be recorded with a spirit treasure!'

Li Xieming was secretly happy at first, and his heart moved for a moment!

'I heard that the threshold for this immortal Dao is quite high, but if any junior in my family can practice it, and then match it with this spirit treasure, wouldn't they have the power of an ancient immortal cultivator!'

He was eager to move, but after tasting it slightly, he suddenly felt something was wrong, frowned, and his heart was secretly shocked:

'What is all this...'

Li Xieming, a dignified Zifu, with divine abilities added to his body, having cultivated for a hundred years, read the preface, but only understood half of it! 'How can this be practiced?!'

No matter how low Li Xieming's cultivation was, he was still a Zifu! Even if he didn't practice Li Fire, Mingyang and Li Fire were close, and Li Jiangqian's 【Tianli Rize Scripture】 was easy to read and had quite a harvest... Reading this method, the difficulty was even more difficult than the 【Houshu Golden Book】!

"【Houshu Golden Book】 is equally difficult. From the perspective of Zifu, it is more difficult because of its complexity... But this 【Nanli Food-Taking Method】 is difficult because of its mystery, obscure to a terrifying degree!"

He was dumbfounded for a moment, not expecting that the rumored high threshold meant this. He could only awkwardly put away his thoughts, his heart full of doubts:

"How can it be like this? I'm afraid there is some omission here... No matter how difficult the cultivation technique is, it shouldn't be difficult to this extent. What kind of genius would be able to truly walk this path?"

"In this way, it is not suitable for my family to practice... Maybe someone who can achieve Zifu Golden Core Dao can become a Foundation Establishment figure, but practicing this technique might waste a lifetime and achieve nothing... Even those who can achieve Zifu might not be able to practice this technique well! In the end, it would harm people instead."

Li Xieming's thoughts rested slightly. After looking at it carefully, he secretly paid attention.

In 【Heavy Fire Two Mingyi】, there was not only the 【Nanli Food-Taking Method】, but also the words left by the previous owner!

This person called himself True Person Lu of the Southern Brilliance of the Douxuan orthodoxy, born during the Great Liang period, practicing the Li Fire Dao, and was also a Great True Person with complete divine abilities.

What was more important was that this person did not mention Wanling Heaven, but called himself a cultivator of the 【South Fire Heaven Mansion】!

'【South Fire Heaven Mansion】?'

Li Xieming was no stranger to this name, and even most Yue people knew this name. Years ago, located in the south of Yue, the famous 【Yishan City】 of the Qingchi Sect was cast by the 【South Fire Heaven Mansion】! 'True Person Lu of the Southern Brilliance of the Douxuan orthodoxy... also means that the 【South Fire Heaven Mansion】 is also the Douxuan orthodoxy. Later, this mansion disappeared... Lu lived in the 【Wanling Heaven】 which was also Douxuan, which can be considered reasonable...'

After all, a Li Fire Great True Person with complete divine abilities could already call himself the first-class in the world, and he wouldn't suffer anywhere, even Wanling Heaven would welcome him.

This passage was not long, only a few sentences, introducing the background, and the tone at the end actually became low:

"My Xuan Si Heaven and Earth, there is nothing that does not follow, and the country is against the Dao, leading to this. Now I should lower my heart and follow, dwelling in the Xuan distance... but I am called an Upper Sect, governing the world with the majesty of Tianwu, correcting the four directions, still acting as the second of the Thunder Palace, but it is just a banquet in the tomb!"

"This year, this venerable one seeks the Li position. If I succeed, I will revive South Fire, and there will still be a breath left. If things don't go well... then there will be no more light..."

"Those who take my Mingyi, practice when Wanling Heaven falls!"

Li Xieming read it several times and sighed secretly: "Lu... is also a sensible person... It seems that the Wanling Upper Sect still can't let go of the status of the Thunder Palace and is unwilling to compromise. Over the years, they have still been cleaning up the mess around them, wanting to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, offending quite a few people, and also making various families have a sense of vigilance."

He raised his hand lightly, and the spirit treasure turned into a stream of light and rose, falling into his Qi sea. Only then did he see the jade plaque in the mountains shaking, obviously reporting something.

But he saw Li Jianglong coming up, quite respectful, followed by Ding Weijian, kneeling down at the steps like a golden mountain collapsing and a jade pillar falling.

He said respectfully: "The matter arranged by the Lord half a year ago has not yet been settled. We have sent people to the Shahuang Kingdom three times, but there is no news of the True Person. It is said that he hasn't returned for many days..."

Li Xieming had a spirit object jade ring in his hand, and the most suitable owner was this True Person Zhusheng of the Shahuang Kingdom. He had asked someone to ask early on, but he didn't expect that he couldn't see the person himself.

"No matter..."

So he calculated with his fingers, and more than half a year had passed. He swept a glance at Ding Weijian below, found that he didn't know how long he had stayed in Foundation Establishment. Although he was complete, he had no next step to take, so he sighed secretly and asked: "Have there been any messages these days? How is the lake?"

Li Jianglong said respectfully:

"Reporting to the True Person, the river bank is still in turmoil. Buildings are constantly falling on 【Zhuo Sha Ling】, and it has now turned into a ruin... There has been no news from the North for many days, I don't know what they are waiting for, only a few monks come down from the wilderness from time to time, and Jiangxia is guarding it."

Li Xieming focused slightly and asked:

"How is the Mushroom Forest Plain?"

This man had been managing the family for a long time and had never had any problems, and was very skilled in everything. He understood what he was saying and hurriedly said: "The Qingchi Sect has no reaction at all, and has been shrinking its influence..."

"Hmm..."

Li Xieming pondered for a while, looked down at him, and asked with a smile:

"How is Suihuan now?"

Among Li Zhouwei's children, only Li Jianglong had an eldest son, because he was born during the time of the North-South fighting and the expedition of various cultivators, so he was called Li Suihuan. Because it was a name Li Xieming gave, he still remembered it. At this mention, Li Jianglong immediately knelt down: "He has already been tested, has spiritual apertures, and is practicing fetus breathing, but he has some talent..."

"Good!"

Li Xieming had just obtained the 'Chongguang Huoming Scripture', which could be taken out generously for practice, and it also came with spirit energy, so he laughed and said: "Your father obtained an ancient cultivation technique in the grotto-heaven, which is the Li Fire path, and has its own merits compared to your brother's cultivation technique. Since it happened to be a coincidence, just point him to practice it!"

"Thank you, True Person!"

Li Jianglong had a pleasantly surprised look. Li Xieming arranged it happily, and gave the two good cultivation techniques obtained in the grotto-heaven, but saw this man kneel down again, kowtowing: "This junior's cultivation has reached the time, and I was prepared to go into seclusion to break through to the middle stage, but after tossing and turning for a few years, I finally had the opportunity to see the True Person... I wanted to ask..."

Li Xieming nodded secretly. Li Jianglong had indeed spent quite a bit of time on the lake over the years, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned his name or bestowed cultivation techniques. Now that he heard this, he laughed:

"Do you have any figures to recommend?"

Li Jianglong replied: "The fifth uncle is gentle and generous, handles heavy things lightly, and is also free and easy, which this junior cannot compare to..."

"That kid?"

Mentioning Li Zhouming, Li Xieming shook his head and laughed:

"He has been managed by Shouyu in recent years, but how can he manage anyone? Don't put your fifth uncle on the fire."

This sentence scared Li Jianglong into lowering his head in cold sweat, saying he didn't dare. Fortunately, this True Person didn't seem to care at all, just sipped tea and pondered: "The wilderness is now considered important, Jiangxia cannot be moved, Little Cui returned to the island, Weijian is not good at internal affairs, there is no longer such a figure who is both civil and military and has prestige..."

"Except for you brothers, the Jiangque generation is strong in yin and weak in yang, and only one Jiangzong is promising. You don't need to entrust him with important tasks for now, just let him lead a position, act on his behalf for a while, and teach him everything in the Ming Palace. It can be considered a test for him."

"This junior obeys!"

Li Xieming's light sentence was enough to cause drastic changes in the politics on the lake, and even concerned the re-handover of power between the two branches. He didn't seem to have any hesitation, and there was still a smile on his face:

"Don't look at his low cultivation now, it's good that he exists."

Li Jianglong nodded repeatedly and retreated quickly. Li Xieming then restrained his smile. In his Qi sea, he had already suppressed the purple-gold thunder mace, quietly staring at the falling gardenia flowers:

''Li Fire' spirit objects and 'Quan Dan' spirit objects are fully prepared, but a 'He Water' spirit object has not yet been identified... In this feast of cultivators, there must be many people looking for these artifact-refining materials, so it should be enough to prepare spirit armor... I have to go to Qize once. Zhouwei has also suppressed the treasure artifacts of the release cultivators, and the quantity is increasing. I can try to ask the Lotus Temple.'

''But now... there are quite a few spirit artifacts on me, and I need to adjust them. It is best to exchange some useful ones back. Spirit artifacts are precious for their quality, not their quantity. My family actually has such days!'

This made him laugh. Just Li Xieming himself, controlling and delaying has 【Shichuan】, walking has 【Ganshan Fu Hai Hu】, attacking enemies has 【True Fire】, 【Li Fire】, 【Bing Fire】, and the newly obtained 【Dushan Dianling Talisman】 is mostly a spirit artifact for protection and inclined to miraculousness, which is already too many.

"These treasures on me are more expensive than my own life. One day when I go out... I don't know how many Zifu will come to surround and kill me..."

He was pondering when he heard a clear voice ringing in the mountains:

"Is the Daoist in the mountains? Kuang Yu has come to visit!"

Li Xieming recognized her voice immediately, knowing she was the one who came to repay the favor of 【Feixuan Luan Stone】, so he stood up to welcome her, saying: "It is really a great honor..."

"Too polite."

True Person Kuang Yu was still in a light green robe, landed in the mountains with a smile, and replied: "I was in a hurry to find Daoist Liao Luo on the way back. He is lucky. He broke into the grotto-heaven for a while, didn't suffer much injury, and also caught quite a few benefits."

So she sat down generously at the stone table in the mountains, took out a white jade box from her sleeve, placed it on the table, and laughed:

"He kept saying he bumped into your family's True Person Minghuang, and was with Yangya. Fearing a misunderstanding, he retreated early... Hearing that he wanted Mingyang, he gave me a 【Jiang Sheng Stone】, which is also a spirit resource..."

Kuang Yu paused and raised her eyebrows: "It's just right for refining spirit armor!"

Li Xieming was startled at first, but soon understood. He had promised Dingyangzi to ask for him from time to time when refining artifacts years ago. It must have been passed on from some True Person. He secretly pondered: 'She should be in the same circle as this Xuanyi and Liao Luo, and even in a similar orthodoxy, different from the Sun orthodoxy, but close to the sun...'

His heart was determined. He opened this jade box. Inside was just a thin piece of jade, brilliant and dazzling, and sure enough, a thick Mingyang aura rushed toward his face, making him receive the item and thank her: "Daoist Kuang Yu has also solved a difficult matter for me..."

Kuang Yu laughed:

"It doesn't matter, it's a matter of mutual benefit, there's no point in thanking each other."

She handled things very generously, which made Li Xieming have quite a good impression. Thinking of that spirit object jade ring, he secretly pondered and asked: "Does the Daoist know Daoist Zhusheng of the Yu Zhen path?"

Kuang Yu nodded with some suspicion and replied:

"Naturally, I know him..."

She hesitated slightly and explained:

"To be clear with the Daoist, the Three Elements of Qingchi were active in the South Sea in the early years. All three are figures with means, and they have made quite a few friendships. Whether it is my great-grandfather or Qusi Mountain, even before Jingyi Mountain separated from the South Sea, they all had dealings with True Person Element."

"Xuanyi and True Person Qiuhu... also met early in their childhood and are very familiar. I, on the other hand, didn't see much of them while studying in Hengzhu."

"As for True Person Zhusheng, he is closer to True Person Yuanxiu. If the Daoist has any use for him, it is better to use that newly promoted True Person Qinghu."

"So that's it!"

Li Xieming nodded secretly, sorted it out silently, and replied:

"Thank you for your guidance, Daoist!"

Kuang Yu smiled and said:

"The old True Person of Qusi Mountain is still alive. He is good at refining artifacts. If the Daoist still has needs in the future, I can also introduce Daoist Liao Luo..."

Her eyes were bright, she raised her head slightly, revealing the beautiful outline of her side face. Although her voice was light and her tone gentle, one could still hear the solemn tone:

"The sun loses its brilliance, but you and I are on the same rope. Tianwan is affectionate to the immortal Dao and doesn't have too many thoughts of harming people, but there are still Zhangxiao, Baoqing, Jinghai... It's hard to say much about the future, but one must always be prepared."

"It's always good to have more dealings with them."

Li Xieming was slightly startled and nodded quite solemnly, sighing secretly in his heart: 'She also knows quite a bit... After all, she has followed Hengzhu for so many years, and in terms of reason, Hengxing will finally give her some guidance...'

He met Kuang Yu's smiling eyes, poured tea, and raised his cup:

"I will definitely visit!"

Bei Hai.

Dark colors changed, the void shook, gray streamers traveled through the deep Great Void, and in the deep colors, one could vaguely see a star or a half of illusion colors born, as if there were countless huge and terrifying shadows sinking in it, revealing a scale or a claw.

On the sea, there were wind and waves. The pure woman stood quietly in the rain, and the Dragon King on the side had a huge body, a cold face, and said nothing.

"Boom!"

Thunder tore through the night sky, making the heaven and earth white, revealing the red-haired, golden-robed man on the side, whose expression was hard to fathom, and said gloomily:

"Wanling Heaven has fallen."

He held a mirror in his hand, and the color, which was like a crescent moon, blue on top and white on the bottom, was flickering in the Great Void, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear, and one could vaguely see countless ruins and fragments of corpses everywhere inside.

The Dragon King of Beihai beside Daoist Lady Xiangchun had a calm expression, and his voice was hoarse:

"It is indeed empty... Douxuan has no face to speak of, they don't cover it up at all... It is also a demonstration—the dignified Wanling Upper Sect, can be casually fallen to the point where wild dogs on the roadside can snatch meat!"

Dongfang Changmu on the other side gradually became cold, and replied: "It is within expectations. Tianwu is so bright... it can't be considered very decent, let alone the Wanling Sect. The Douxuan orthodoxy is scattered all over the world, each with its own mountain head. Up to now, how many have gathered together."

Lady Xiangchun on the side lowered her head slightly, listening to Dongfang Lieyun ask:

"Who obtained the orthodoxy of Lin Hengjiang?"

Dongfang Changmu shook his head with some doubt and replied:

"I didn't notice, perhaps someone covered it up."

This small episode did not attract the attention of the two. The thunder in heaven and earth became even more intense. Dongfang Changmu whispered: "The layout of various families has reached the time of ending. Bai Lin happens to be in the territory of the Yin Division, and the three parties are entangled..."

"The Yang family has obtained the support of the Yin Division and is determined to win the position of 'True Qi'. The North-South fighting has also cleared the obstacles of Yue country almost completely. That Yang Jinxin is now only missing an east wind..."

His eyes were full of gloom and expectation, even trembling with some excitement. Dongfang Lieyun on the other side also had fluctuations in his expression, slowly closing his eyes: "The entire Yue country is already summer dry firewood, adding one layer of oil after another, only missing a spark... It can stir up a storm in an instant—a storm that subverts the order of the South."

Dongfang Lieyun raised his eyebrows, suddenly opened his eyes, and stared straight at Dongfang Changmu opposite. At that moment, the estrangement of the Dragon clan seemed to disappear, leaving only surging ambition and restlessness that could not be waved away from his heart:

"Success or failure depends on only one step..."

Dongfang Changmu looked bright and replied coldly: "He is an immortal, he won't be wrong."
