The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 384 - 169: Invitation from the Heavenly Master Mansion and the Predestined Ultimate Calamity (Please Subscribe)_3

But what did Wei Yuan go to Dragon Tiger Mountain for?

Xu Qing felt that things were getting increasingly interesting.

The tone of Old Heavenly Master’s letter seemed like there was a matter he needed help with, while the Chaotian Temple Master dispatched a disciple, to return to Zhili Province to visit relatives and then ascend Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Wait a minute...

Xu Qing suddenly thought, did Wei Yuan really return to Zhili Province just to visit his relatives?

It’s more likely that he was re-establishing contact with Duke Wei, and there must surely be a scheme of the Chaotian Temple Master for Dragon Tiger Mountain. Because nominally, the Chaotian Temple Master is the State Preceptor, but the actual leader of the Taoist community is still the Heavenly Master Dao of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Emerging from the Quanzhen Dragon Gate Sect, the Chaotian Temple Master is now in power. Could it be that he doesn’t wish to revive the glory of Quanzhen Dao, once the largest sect in the world?

So, at this time, the great ceremonial offering at Dragon Tiger Mountain actually concealed such a fierce dragon and tiger contest.

Xu Qing suddenly realized that the current heir to the Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain running away from the mountain with the Demon Fox was very thought-provoking and not as simple as the rumors in the worldly society...

Regardless, one must be strong to forge iron.

After Xu Qing understood some of the key points, he did not start to arrange his plans but decided to complete another major task first.

Now that he had cultivated the Purple Emperor Dragon Armor to protect his Divine Soul, and realized that he was not easily influenced by the illusions of the Heart Demon, he had new plans.

To refine the Primordial Essence remaining in the Red Moon relics.

Primordial Essence is what a cultivator, inhales and exhales from the transformation of heaven and earth, the mystery of the sun and the moon, refining into pure Essence Qi.

It is the essence within Essence Qi.

Had Red-haired Yan Kong not been forced to head to Wutong Courtyard and resorted to using the Red Moon relics to suppress the Divine Soul of the Old Wutong Tree, he might have already used the Primordial Essence within to restore his condition from the battle at Golden Ray Monastery.

During the time at Xuantian Treasure Vault, naturally, he would not have feared Xu Qing.

For Red-haired Yan Kong, one misstep led to a chain of errors.

But Red-haired Yan Kong could not have anticipated that Xu Qing, aided by the immense Divine Soul of the Old Wutong Tree, would have the last laugh.

Xu Qing, although confident that his current state was sufficient to refine the Primordial Essence within the relic without worrying about the evil energy, was still very cautious as he took out the Red Moon relics from the Jade Box.

He removed the Sealing Demon Talisman placed by the Chaotian Temple Master.

He had to admit that the Temple Master indeed possessed Great Magical Power; after all, the Sealing Demon Talisman he provided Feng Wu could suppress the Red Moon relics.

Xu Qing knew that he still had a long way to go to reach the level of these Old Masters.

Keep striving, keep fighting!

Soon, Xu Qing dispelled his distractions and began to use his Divine Soul Power to draw out the Primordial Essence from the relic.

As the Primordial Essence was drawn out, Xu Qing indeed felt the evil energy surge out with it, trying to invade his Sea of Consciousness.

How dare a mere shadow of evil act unruly?

Although Xu Qing reckoned he was not afraid of the Heart Demon, he did not act overly confident.

Directly within his Sea of Consciousness, he visualized the outline of the Destruction Ming King.

In the void of the Sea of Consciousness, sutras seemed to appear, with the themes of destruction and annihilation spreading out.

One could see this destructive mindset in Xu Qing’s Sea of Consciousness, even more terrifying than the influx of evil energy, while at the same time, a vertical eye on the Destruction Ming King’s brow emitted golden light, sweeping away large swaths of evil energy.

On the other side, deeper layers of evil energy hid within the Primordial Essence, seemingly indistinct from the evil energy itself.

But as they entered Xu Qing’s Divine Soul, the Purple Emperor Dragon Armor emerged, dazzling with starlight, completely vaporizing the evil energy within the Primordial Essence.

The Purple Emperor Dragon Armor is a Divine Skill that protects the Divine Soul; since the evil energy is harmful to the Divine Soul, it is naturally cleansed instinctively by the armor.

However, within the Primordial Essence, the Red Moon’s Devil Thought illusions remain deep-rooted.

But without the support of negative energy, these Devil Thought illusions are like rootless duckweed.

Under the first wave of assault, they couldn’t even shake Xu Qing’s thoughts, quickly dissipating like smoke and clouds.

Overnight, before the dawn, Xu Qing once again sent out his Divine Soul, to the summit of Zhong Mountain, resembling a faintly visible Azure Dragon, opening its mouth to welcome the first strand of Purple Qi from the morning sun.

This was entirely different from Martial Arts’ Frog Hooking Skill.

It was a feeling of comfort arising from the depths of his soul, his thoughts drifting, and a sense of overlooking the worldly society naturally emerged.

Moreover, after Xu Qing absorbed the Primordial Essence to strengthen his Divine Soul, and then refined the Purple Qi, he clearly felt that the Purple Qi obtained was purer.

"It’s a pity that my Divine Soul’s Purple Mansion has not been established; otherwise, nourished by the Innate Qi, consolidating the Divine Soul, and fortifying the Purple Emperor Dragon Armor, someday my Divine Soul could transform into an almost real Azure Dragon, overlooking the world like a deity."

From this thought, Xu Qing wondered if those legendary dragons were the transformed Divine Souls of cultivators?

Because the shape of a dragon obviously resembles a patchwork of Exotic Beasts, it doesn’t seem to have grown naturally.

Moreover, a Divine Soul becoming substantial, almost like a physical body, transforming into a True Dragon and soaring through the Nine Heavens, seems more reasonable than a flesh-and-blood True Dragon.

After Xu Qing’s Divine Soul ventured out and collected Purple Qi from Zhong Mountain, he quickly returned home.

With his current Divine Soul Power, being out in broad daylight had no effect on his Divine Soul.

Moreover, he could actively absorb sunlight, covering the surface of the Purple Emperor Dragon Armor with a layer of scorching Taiyang Fire Qi.

If he continuously refined it with his Divine Soul, it would become the legendary Taiyang True Fire.

He thought to himself, if he went through Possession and Soul Splitting, refining nine fire dragons, wouldn’t it be like the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover in the deification novels?

As his Divine Soul grew stronger, he discovered that some of the Magical Treasures and Divine Skills described in the novels of his previous life could also be realized through the advancement of the Divine Soul and Martial Arts.

This is truly being an immortal among mortals.

"Immortals reside in high places, yet it is not an unfounded fantasy. To desire to wander to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, one must have a solid foundation in the worldly society." Xu Qing, while his spirit floated freely, still chose to stay grounded in reality.

Hence, in the following days, Xu Qing diligently practiced his Divine Soul and refined the Essence Qi from the Red Moon Relics.

The power of his Divine Soul continued to grow.

And the Purple Emperor Dragon Armor also became more substantial in the process of refining Purple Qi day by day.

Time came to the beginning of July, his father-in-law had already left South Zhili and went back to the Capital to serve as one of the Six Department Inspectors.

"The middle of July is the Ghost Festival, uncle has called us back to worship the ancestors." Feng Wu took her first Ghost Festival after marrying into the Xu Family very seriously, and had already communicated with the Zhou Family to make preparations in advance.

Xu Qing nodded.

After the Xu Family of Jiangning was exterminated, the family graveyard had fallen into disrepair.

It was only in these past two years with the help of Li Gongpu and his wife that it was taken care of and refurbished.

He had already refined all the Essence Qi from the Red Moon Relics, his Divine Soul had grown significantly, and indeed there was no need to stay in Yingtian Prefecture any longer.

As for the Junior Master Brother Wei Yuan, mentioned by Feng Wu, who was supposed to arrive in South Zhili at the beginning of August, there was no need to hurry for now.

Immediately after, the couple set off to return to Jiangning Prefecture.

On the way back, Xu Qing observed that the Qi Fortune Little Snake inside the bronze mirror was continuously emitting black Qi,

"Could there be some danger?"

The cicada senses the wind before it blows.

Xu Qing became even more vigilant.
