Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 338: White Lotus Assembly

Dong Qi never trusted Devil Cultivators, let alone the sudden appearance of a Blood Devil sect expert like Gao Xian.

He didn't believe a single word of Gao Xian's promise.

However, being bound by the Blood Devil Locking God Curse, Dong Qi had no choice but to temporarily play along in order to stay alive.

Dong Qi brought Gao Xian to the Stone Archway, hoping to try his luck and see if they could encounter the Red Stone Perfected Being.

This Gold Core expert from the Yin Demon sect was said to have a special admiration for the White Lotus Sect's Sect Leader, Fan Qingxia. The Stone Archway was closest to the White Lotus Mountain, making it convenient for him to visit Fan Qingxia and show his affection.

Therefore, the Red Stone Perfected Being liked to stay in the Stone Archway whenever he had nothing else to do.

Although the Red Stone Perfected Being was lustful, he was still a Gold Core Perfected Being. No matter how powerful that person in black clothes was, they were only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Dealing with a Foundation Establishment cultivator as a Gold Core Perfected Being was as easy as crushing an ant.

As long as the Red Stone Perfected Being captured Gao Xian, the Blood Devil Locking God Curse on him could be lifted.

Dong Qi and the Red Stone Perfected Being didn't have much of a relationship, but as fellow cultivators of the same sect, there was a sense of camaraderie.

It was unlikely that the Red Stone Perfected Being would go out of his way to help him, but it shouldn't be difficult for him to lend a hand.

Dong Qi believed that his chances of survival would be higher if he continued to rely on the Red Stone Perfected Being. Waiting for the other party's mercy and pity would only lead to a frustrating death.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, although his combat power was not strong, his willpower was quite resilient. He would do his best to take the initiative.

As long as the Red Stone Perfected Being was present, he had a seventy to eighty percent chance of surviving.

As for the Spiritual Weapon he mentioned, it wasn't just empty talk.

The two of them rode the Green Wood Flying Boat into the Eastern Wasteland and encountered a powerful Golden Winged Flying Eagle halfway, which almost overturned their flying boat.

Gao Xian activated the Blood God Banner, which scared away the flying eagle.

Dong Qi was quite knowledgeable about formations and could tell at a glance that the Blood God Banner was at least a Rank Three Magic Treasure, and it might even be a Spiritual Weapon.

It wouldn't hurt to exaggerate a bit. If the Red Stone Perfected Being obtained a Magic Treasure, would he blame him for speaking out of turn?

Dong Qi stood in the hall and explained Gao Xian's situation in detail.

He concluded, "That person is in the inn."

"Oh, go and bring him here," the Red Stone Perfected Being said as he emerged from the back of the hall. He wore a black and red Magical Robe, with a pale face like paper. His face was long, with raised eyebrows and triangular eyes, giving him a fierce appearance.

He was tall and his sleeves fluttered in the wind. If one didn't look at his face, he had a somewhat elegant and free-spirited demeanor.

Dong Qi swallowed his saliva. He had originally wanted to persuade the Red Stone Perfected Being to go to the inn with him, but when he was swept by the other party's gaze, his nervous blood froze, and the words on the tip of his tongue were forcibly swallowed.

He replied in a deep voice, bowed, and backed out of the hall.

The bald man beside him had already stood up. He respectfully asked in a low voice, "This guy is cunning and cannot be fully trusted."

The Red Stone Perfected Being sat down on the chair with an air of superiority. He disdainfully said, "A cultivator from the Blood Devil sect dares to come here. Even if he dies, it would be in vain. Let this kid have his own calculations. If he doesn't have any Spiritual Weapon Magic Treasures on him, let him know how powerful I am."

As a dignified Gold Core Perfected Being, Red Stone had lived for four hundred years and naturally could see through Dong Qi's little schemes.

He didn't care about these things. Everyone had their own calculations, as long as they brought benefits to him.

In this courtyard, he had set up a Nine Yin Demon Blade Formation. Although the defensive ability of this formation was average, when fully activated, the extremely condensed Nine Yin Devilish Qi would transform into sharp blades that attacked from all directions, displaying great power.

Even a Gold Core Perfected Being of the same rank would find it difficult to escape when fighting him within this formation.

As a Gold Core Perfected Being, even if he didn't master formations, he should at least carry a well-refined formation flag to be able to set up simple formations to protect himself at any time and place.

With the protection of a formation, a cultivator's spells and supernatural powers would receive a tremendous boost.

The enemy would be suppressed by the formation, and all aspects would be greatly affected.

The difference between them would be too great.

Perfected Being Hongshi has lived for several hundred years, so he naturally knows the power of formations and is cautious enough. Wherever he resides, he will set up formations to protect himself. It is also because of this that he will not easily leave his lair for trivial matters.

Although Dong Qi is also a cultivator of the same sect, Hongshi does not trust him when he takes the initiative to ask for his help.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Hongshi doesn't need to explain his calculations to his subordinates.

After a while, there was a commotion outside. Hongshi looked up and saw Dong Qi bowing humbly and leading a man in black clothes.

The man had long eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, and he was handsome but had a cold expression. His magic power was solid, and the three strands of his life essence were faintly connected, indicating that he was a cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The black clothes on this person looked like they were of Rank Three, including his shoes, belt, and other magical items, all of high quality.

Hongshi became somewhat interested. This Foundation Establishment cultivator seemed to have some good things on him.

After Dong Qi led Gao Xian to the hall, he quietly stepped back to Hongshi's side and said in a deep voice, "This is Perfected Being Hongshi. You should kneel and pay your respects."

Before entering the courtyard, Gao Xian had already sensed the aura of a Gold Core. He was not surprised but delighted. Dong Qi was quite capable to be able to find a Gold Core Perfected Being.

To put it bluntly, with his current strength, as long as he didn't encounter a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he could easily kill anyone.

He was a person who followed rules, and as long as others didn't provoke him, he wouldn't take the initiative to attack.

Thanks to Dong Qi's thoughtfulness, he had brought a Large Gift Bag with a Gold Core Perfected Being.

Gao Xian glanced at Dong Qi and showed a hint of approval in his eyes.

In Dong Qi's opinion, Gao Xian's gaze seemed a bit too complicated. What did it mean? Why did it feel like there was some goodwill behind it?

Hongshi, too, didn't quite understand Gao Xian's gaze, but these details were not important.

He asked Gao Xian, "What are you doing at Tieyuan Mountain?"

At the level of Gold Core, it was easy to kill people and extract their souls, but it was impossible to extract memories and emotions from the soul.

For Devil Cultivators, the soul was like the body, possessing a stable form of power.

Manipulating the soul was like cutting open the body to eat meat, which was something that the demonic sects loved to do.

However, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would find it difficult to manipulate the soul.

Hongshi was somewhat curious about why this Foundation Establishment cultivator was looking for Tieyuan Mountain. Perhaps it was for treasure or something else.

Before taking action, it was best to clarify as much as possible.

Gao Xian asked in return, "Do you know about Tieyuan Mountain?"

Hongshi smiled, "I do know about Tieyuan Mountain. It's on the outskirts of the White Lotus Sect."

Because he was particularly concerned about the White Lotus Sect's Sect Leader, Fan Qingxia, he had heard her complain about the constant harassment from the monkey demons of Tieyuan Mountain, which was very troublesome.

If Fan Qingxia found it troublesome, it meant that the monkey demons of Tieyuan Mountain were quite powerful.

Hongshi noticed that Gao Xian did not show any signs of surrender. Cold light flashed in his triangular eyes, and the Gold Core on his forehead stirred, releasing a surge of sinister demonic energy.

The demonic energy rolled like black smoke, spreading throughout the hall in an instant.

The Nine Yin demonic energy was cold and poisonous, capable of easily freezing one's blood, even solidifying their magic power and soul.

Gao Xian had been waiting for this moment. He pretended to be hypocritical and said, "No grievances, no grudges. Perfected Being, do you really want to attack me?"

Hongshi laughed, "As a Gold Core, I can kill whoever I want, why would I need a reason?"

He then lectured in an old-fashioned manner, "Kid, you're also a cultivator of the demonic sect. There's no need to pretend to be innocent."

As he spoke, he unleashed his Nine Yin demonic palm, and the black smoke transformed into a giant palm that fiercely grabbed towards Gao Xian.

Using Qi Gathering as a palm strike was a common method for high-ranking cultivators to bully lower-level cultivators.

However, Hongshi's Nine Yin demonic palm was not a simple Qi Gathering manifestation. It possessed changes such as coldness, toxicity, confusion, and law-breaking.

Even for a Gold Core cultivator of the same rank, the Nine Yin demonic palm posed a great threat.

Gao Xian saw the situation clearly. With his current cultivation level at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, although he possessed the powerful Vajra Staff, he couldn't directly unleash its full potential.

When facing the Gold Core cultivator from the Demon Sect, he had to rely on the Blood God Banner.

Having killed two Gold Core cultivators from the Yin Demon Sect, Gao Xian had a good understanding of the various techniques employed by the sect.

The long Blood God Banner appeared out of thin air. Gao Xian held it in his hand and waved it, causing the Blood Qi to transform into a giant palm that clashed with the incoming Nine Yin Demon Palm.

A trace of anger flashed across the face of the Perfected Being named Hong Shi. This arrogant kid not only dared to resist, but also dared to confront him head-on!

He should consider his own worth!

Annoyed, Hong Shi increased his magic power by two points. The Nine Yin Demon Palm visibly grew larger and thicker, exuding an even colder and more bone-chilling Yin Qi.

Dong Qi, who was watching from the side, became extremely anxious. He was afraid that Hong Shi would kill Gao Xian with a single palm strike.

However, he knew his place. It wasn't his turn to interfere with Hong Shi's actions. If he spoke up, it might only further enrage Hong Shi and result in both of them being killed!

The bald man, on the other hand, showed a disdainful expression. In his eyes, Gao Xian was like an egg striking a rock.

The black and red giant palms collided, creating a tremendous roar. The black and red mist surged and impacted in all directions.

The furniture in the room, such as the tables and chairs, shattered into pieces from the impact. The ceiling and walls collapsed with a loud crash.

The intense impact of the magic power sent Dong Qi and the bald man flying out. Although the two Foundation Establishment cultivators were unharmed, they were greatly shocked.

What shocked them even more was that Gao Xian, who had activated the Blood God Banner, remained motionless. It seemed that he was evenly matched with Hong Shi in this clash.

Hong Shi couldn't sit still either. He suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming with cold light. "Rank Three Spiritual Weapon, impressive!"

The guy on the opposite side wielding the Blood God Banner wasn't surprising, but the grade of his Blood God Banner was particularly high.

Hong Shi couldn't understand. No matter how powerful the Blood God Banner was, how could a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Gao Xian fully unleash the power of a Spiritual Weapon like the Ruyi Scepter?

Gao Xian calmly looked at Hong Shi and didn't rush to make a move.

With such a suitable opponent, it was a good opportunity to test the abilities of his Tai Xuan Divine Image clone.

This clone, Integrated Union Blood Devil, could manifest permanently. It was precisely because of this that it was extremely compatible with the Blood God Banner and could be controlled at will.

With just this Blood God Banner, he was enough to contend against a third rank Gold Core cultivator.

Hong Shi also became serious at this moment. He formed hand seals and activated the Nine Yin Demon Blade Formation.

The formation flags inserted in all directions responded to his divine sense and transformed into large black runes.

The gathered Nine Yin Demon Qi condensed into sharp blades that rotated and slashed towards Gao Xian.

Gao Xian waved the Blood God Banner, and the Blood Qi surged like a fiery cloud, completely submerging him.

The rotating black blades fell into the sea of fire, creating cracks before being swallowed by the flames.

Thousands of black blades descended rapidly, but they couldn't break through the layers of fire.

Instead, the house was eroded by the flames, leaving large hollow spaces, as if it had been burned through by Yin fire.

Hong Shi was truly shocked this time. He couldn't break through the opponent's Blood God Banner with his formation?

He didn't dare to be careless anymore and activated his own Nine Yin Banner.

With this Rank Three High Grade Magical Item in hand, Hong Shi's confidence soared.

He then continuously activated various spells, such as the Nine Yin Soul Snatching, Nine Yin Soul Devouring Transformation, and Magic Qi Breaking Divine Bullet...

What frustrated Hong Shi was that no matter what spell he activated, he couldn't break through the layers of blood clouds.

The bald man, who was watching the battle from a distance, also showed a hint of nervousness. Although he couldn't understand the various changes in the battle, he could see that Hong Shi didn't have the upper hand.

Dong Qi's face turned even uglier. Gao Xian is unexpectedly so powerful. This is trouble!

Even if Hong Shi can win, he doesn't have the strength to capture Gao Xian. Either he goes all out to kill the opponent, or the opponent escapes...

Regardless of which outcome, it is extremely unfavorable for him.

Dong Qi is feeling a bit regretful now, but at this moment, whatever he thinks has no impact on the overall situation.

Neither side of the battle pays any attention to Dong Qi and the bald man.

The intense battle has destroyed many surrounding buildings with its overwhelming magical power, and the earth-shattering sound has alarmed the cultivators of the Stone Archway.

Despite the tremendous sound, no one dares to come closer to watch the excitement. On the contrary, some people feel that the situation is not good and are retreating to avoid being affected.

Gao Xian, relying on the Blood God Banner and the Perfected Being of the Red Stone, has been entangled for a while. He has also noticed that the opponent only uses a few moves.

Although the cultivators of the Demon Sect cultivate quickly, they are limited by their cultivation methods and have few spells they can practice.

Gao Xian doesn't want to wait any longer. His magical power is not as strong as the opponent's, and dragging it out will only be disadvantageous for him.

He activates the Blood God Banner, and the Divine Child made of blood shadows rushes straight towards the Perfected Being of the Red Stone.

The Perfected Being of the Red Stone also activates the Nine Yin Banner to counter it, and the two shadows, one black and one red, entangle each other.

At this moment, Gao Xian raises his hand and activates more than ten points of emerald light.

The Emerald Blood Yin Thunder Bombs are one-time magical treasures left behind by a cultivator at the Gold Core late stage of the Blood Divine Sect.

According to the Blood God Sutra, the Emerald Blood Yin Thunder Bombs need to be refined with the cultivator's Blood Essence and guided to contain the Yin Thunder within.

These one-time magical items have tremendous power, but they are extremely complicated and troublesome to make, and they also consume a large amount of the cultivator's Blood Essence, making them extremely vicious.

Gao Xian obtained these Yin Thunder Bombs for free, so naturally he doesn't feel any heartache using them.

The Perfected Being of the Red Stone realizes that something is wrong and quickly uses the Nine Yin Banner to wrap himself in layers of black qi.

But this time, he is a bit too slow. Gao Xian's Emerald Blood Yin Thunder Bombs precisely target the gaps in his magical power circulation. Gao Xian's Divine Sense is much stronger than that of the Perfected Being of the Red Stone, so he systematically bombards the Yin Thunder Bombs.

The first three Emerald Blood Yin Thunder Bombs explode with emerald thunder light, blasting a large hole in the Nine Yin Banner. The following ten Emerald Blood Yin Thunder Bombs rush forward.

Before the Perfected Being of the Red Stone can resist, they explode heavily.

The emerald Yin Thunder is fierce and treacherous. When they all explode, the Perfected Being of the Red Stone is left dizzy and covered in injuries.

Following closely behind are the Blood God Blades, which continue to fall in succession. By the time the seventh blood-colored arc-shaped blade light falls, the Perfected Being of the Red Stone's protective magical items are all shattered, and his body is torn apart by a single blade.

The Blood God Blades are extremely corrosive and can corrode magical power even more terrifyingly than aqua regia. In the blink of an eye, the Perfected Being of the Red Stone is corroded into a pool of filthy blood.

The bald man and Dong Qi are both terrified when they see this, and without thinking, they turn around and run.

The blood-colored arc-shaped blade light cuts through the air and chops the two Foundation Establishment cultivators into four pieces.

In the midst of the rolling blood light, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators quickly turn into filthy blood and are absorbed by the Blood God Banner.

Gao Xian flicks his sleeves and collects several storage bags and intact magical items.

Of course, the storage bag of the Perfected Being of the Red Stone is the one he is most interested in.

Erasing the Divine Sense imprint on the storage bag, Gao Xian first sees dozens of High Grade Spirit Stones inside, as well as many magical items, spiritual objects, and so on.

After organizing them, Gao Xian finds an invitation letter inside.

The invitation letter is from the White Lotus Sect, inviting the Perfected Being of the Red Stone to participate in the White Lotus Conference...

Gao Xian holds the invitation letter in his hand and can't help but think of the bald, barefoot beauty, Fan Lingzhen, and her blooming white lotus flower.

So, this White Lotus Conference should not be very serious!

Thinking of this, Gao Xian becomes somewhat excited.

He has found a very good reason for himself. The Perfected Being of the Red Stone said that Tie Yuan Mountain is within the territory of the White Lotus Sect, so this is a good opportunity to inquire about the situation of Tie Yuan Mountain.

If there is a chance, he is willing to discuss the Dao with the fellow daoists of the White Lotus Sect...
