Ninety-two, Road saves Red Cloud

  Xun Daozi left Wuyi Mountain and traveled along the edge of Hongyuan, where he gained insight. In the "Ti Dao" method of Yuan Shi, there is a method called "Cha Wu". Before this, Xun Daozi had not paid much attention to it, as his practice was mainly focused on "Shou Jing", and he had twice achieved great benefits through "Zuo Wang". However, he rarely actively used the "Cha Wu" method.

  In the beginning, 'Ti Dao' (Body of the Way) and 'Chá Wù' (Investigating Things) are two methods that can be discussed together. All things in the world are transformations of the Way, so they can embody a kind of operation of the Way and hide the traces of the Way. By observing all things in the world, one can understand the operation of the Way, extract the traces of the Way, and achieve the purpose of 'Ti Dao'.

  Xun Daozi had not previously had a deep understanding or experience. This time, stepping into the vast wilderness, observing along the way and pondering, he gained a lot of insight, deeply agreeing with Yuan Shi's words on 'embodiment of the Tao' and 'investigating things'. Therefore, he did not hurry back, but instead cultivated his practice in the vast wilderness.

  In the blink of an eye, it was over a thousand years, and he had actually sensed a little clue about the Dao mark of the Great Luo True Immortal Realm. He had found direction to comprehend the Dao mark of the Great Luo True Immortal Realm. This was truly a great harvest, you know that even a veteran like Fumeng Lamp had joined the Xuanmen Sect and received guidance from Yuanshi Tianzun before barely touching on the clue of the Great Luo True Immortal Realm's Dao mark. Now, Xun'er was really on the same starting line as Fumeng Lamp, a great expert of the Primordial Chaos.

  This time, Xun Daozi didn't need to rush back, and continued to wander in the vast wilderness with the three-eyed Snow Lion Beast and the Jade Qilin. Over a thousand years, the Jade Qilin finally stepped into the Taiyi realm, and its strength increased greatly. Xun Daozi tailored a cultivation method for it, just like he did for the three-eyed Snow Lion Beast and the Jidou Beast, but made some adjustments according to the Jade Qilin's characteristics, making the method more suitable for it. The refinement of its physical body was inevitable, but not as extreme as the Jidou Beast, and slightly stronger than the three-eyed Snow Lion Beast. However, in terms of refining its divine soul, it couldn't compare to the three-eyed Snow Lion Beast's cultivation method. After all, the three-eyed Snow Lion Beast had a naturally superior divine soul compared to the Jidou Beast and the Jade Qilin. Xun Daozi also taught it many other divine techniques, allowing it to practice according to its own characteristics.

  One man and two beasts in the vast wilderness, leisurely strolling, what a delightful joy.

  On this day, he was walking along a mountain range when suddenly a fierce surge of magical power appeared in the air. Immediately afterwards, a fiery red shadow shot towards the mountain range at lightning speed, with two beams of light hot on its heels.

  In the blink of an eye, the crimson figure in front had fallen to the ground not far from Zhen Daozi. Zhen Daozi raised his eyes and looked over, and it was a Taoist wearing a large red Taoist robe, who was stumbling towards him with one hand on his chest.

  Xun Daozi fixed his eyes on him, and the Taoist priest was indeed the Red Cloud Old Ancestor he had seen before. At this time, the Red Cloud Old Ancestor no longer had that cheerful appearance, his fiery red hair and beard were disheveled, with bloodstains around his mouth, his Taoist robe was untidy, and the large red gourd on his back was gone.

  The light of pursuit in the air has arrived, and suddenly a bright big bell crashes towards the red cloud old ancestor on the ground.

  Just as the giant bell was about to strike Hong Yun's ancestor, a long sword flew in and tapped the bell with its tip. "Clang!" A loud crash echoed through the air as the bell was knocked aside.

  A loud shout in mid-air: "Who is causing trouble?"

  Xun Daozi recalled the 'Heart Protecting Sword' and said in a loud voice: "Xun Daozi has seen two fellow Taoists!"

  The man in mid-air hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "The Eastern Emperor of the Demon Clan is handling matters here, so please don't interfere with unrelated people!"

  Upon hearing that the one blocking him was Xun Daozi, the usually proud and arrogant Dong Huang's tone became much more gentle. This was naturally because Xun Daozi was a disciple of the great sage Yuan Shi.

  Xun Daozi had not yet spoken, when a figure in a long, colored robe appeared in the air. The man was wearing a huge eagle hook nose and his robes were somewhat disheveled.

  The man raised his hand and said, "Fellow Taoist, we have some unfinished business with Hongyun. Please don't interfere!" As he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

  Xun Daozi's heart couldn't bear the calamity that had befallen Hong Yun Lao Zu. He recalled their first meeting, when Hong Yun gave him two fire dates and his bright laughter left a good impression on Xun Daozi. Although they hadn't interacted much since then, watching Hong Yun fall before his eyes was something he couldn't bring himself to do. If that were to happen, it might become a knot in Xun Daozi's heart, and his path of cultivation would likely come to an end, with no further progress to be made.

  Then, taking advantage of the time to speak, Xun Daozi suddenly appeared standing beside Hong Yun Laozu, and with a bow to the empty air, said: "Xun Daozi has some past connections with Hong Yun Daolong, I hope that Dong Huang, the demon master can spare him this once!"

  At this time, Hongyun Old Ancestor was holding on to salute Xun Daozi and said: "Fellow Taoist, hurry up and leave, don't get involved!" This is because Hongyun Old Ancestor saw that Xun Daozi's cultivation was only at the level of Daluo dispersing immortals, and he couldn't deal with Donghuang Taiyi and Yao Shi Kunpeng, so he let him go. At the same time, he turned his head to face Kunpeng in the air and shouted: "Just because of a 'Hongmeng Purple Qi', you ambushed me and wanted to put me to death? If you want 'Hongmeng Purple Qi', come at me!"

  Kong Xuan and Tai Yi, who were already in the Da Luo scattered immortal realm, felt shocked, thinking that this was a trick of the Yuanshi Saint. On one hand, they had some apprehensions in their hearts, on the other hand, they wanted to obtain the 'Hongyun Purple Qi' from Hongyun Laozu even more.

  Kun Peng then spoke again to Xun Daozi: "Please ask the Taoist friend to leave, today I must settle with Hong Yun!"

  Xun Daozi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't leave Hong Yun Daozhang behind, so please forgive me!" As soon as he finished speaking, the 'Huxin Sword' was already summoned in his hand, facing the Kunpeng in the air, standing alone.

  Kunpeng and Taiyi were furious in their hearts, if not for the consideration of Yuanshi Saint, they would have killed him long ago. Unexpectedly, he still didn't know what was good for him and insisted on taking charge. At this moment, the two exchanged a glance, deciding to teach Xundaozi a lesson. Although Xundaozi now had the Daoist cultivation of Daluo Sanxian, it was still not enough in the eyes of old-timers like Kunpeng and Taiyi.

  Immediately, Kunpeng drew out a large black halberd and swung it down at Xun Daozi with a casual motion. In his mind, this one blow would be enough to knock Xun Daozi to the ground.

  Xun Daozi saw the big halberd coming down, raised his long sword in his hand, and the cold light on the sword swallowed and spat out, instantly meeting the falling halberd.

  "Boom!"

  The giant halberd was knocked back, and a hint of surprise flashed in Kun Peng's eyes. The giant halberd struck down again, accompanied by a loud crashing sound that shook the air, its power much greater than the previous strike.

  Xun Daozi's face tightened, his long sword quivered, and he transformed into a cluster of sword flowers to meet the great halberd.

  No sound was made, and one by one the sword flowers in front of Da Ji gradually shattered, but Da Ji still did not fall.

  Kunpeng's face changed slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the big halberd fell like a mountain from the ninth heaven, smashing towards Xun Daozi.

  Xun Daozi's eyes turned cold, his whole body's Fa Li surged, and the long sword transformed into a huge virtual shadow that welcomed the giant halberd that was smashing down.

  Bang!

  A loud crash, a hurricane raged, dust filled the air.

  Xun Daozi's mouth had a thread of blood at the corner, which was very eye-catching. However, he was now carrying Hong Yun Lao Zu to display the 'shrinking land into inches' divine ability and fleeing in a hurry.

  Kunpeng's old brand is indeed not something that Xun Daozi can contend with at this time. The last blow, however, was enough to inflict a considerable injury on Xun Daozi. He had also assumed that Kunpeng would not deliver a fatal blow, which is why he dared to take three blows from Kunpeng. Even so, the last blow still managed to land and cause some damage. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by that one blow, Xun Daozi rolled up his red cloud and made a run for it.

  Just as he had run away, Kunpeng and Taizhen suddenly realized it and quickly chased after him from behind.

  Kunpeng and Taiyi's speed was incredibly swift, and Xun Daozi carrying Hongyun couldn't keep up. Before long, the two had caught up, Kunpeng's cold eyes flashed, and his halberd transformed into a spear shadow heading towards Xun Daozi.

  Just as the halberd's shadow was about to strike, a yellow light flashed behind Xun Daozi, and a small triangular flag with an apricot-yellow color unfolded behind him, emitting waves of yellow light. The halberd's shadow struck the yellow light, but only created a ripple.

  Xun Daozi's mouth was filled with a salty taste, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. His feet tightened, and in an instant, he traveled tens of thousands of miles.

  Hongyun, who was being carried by Xun Daozi, was weak in breath. Seeing that Xun Daozi was injured, he opened his mouth to let Xun Daozi put him down, but Xun Daozi did not listen and continued to flee desperately.

  Soon, Kunpeng and Taizhen caught up again. The giant halberd emitted a fierce cold light, and they chased after Xunzi once more.

  Xun Daozi felt the enormous pressure of the giant halberd chasing after him, gritted his teeth, and a large, greyish-black seal shot out into the air, smashing violently towards the pursuing giant halberd.

  "Boom!"

  The sky and earth changed color, the void flashed. The giant halberd was smashed to fly away. Xun Daozi spat out another mouthful of blood from his mouth.

  But Kun Peng, who was rushing over in a hurry, suddenly felt a suffocating sensation and slowed down for a moment. However, he quickly caught up again.

  Taiyi, who had never made a move, saw Kunpeng again without success, and he has now rushed to Xun Daozi's back not far away. He suddenly shouted at Xun Daozi: "Put down the red cloud, you leave by yourself, otherwise don't blame me for taking action!" The shout was like thunder, making Xun Daozi, who was running with his head down, almost stumble.

  The red cloud-faced Hongyun, who was being held by Xun Daozi, suddenly struggled free with a fierce cry: "You want the 'Hongmeng Purple Qi'? Take it!" His body's spiritual energy fluctuated wildly as he prepared to use his self-destructive technique, but just then he saw Xun Daozi running back towards him. His heart tightened - if he were to self-destruct now, he would definitely harm Xun Daozi, who had rushed back to save him. His face darkened and he said: "Forget it, forget it... I'll give it to you!" With a wave of his hand, a dazzling 'Hongmeng Purple Qi' appeared in the hands of Hunyuan Laozu.

  Only to see Hongyun Laozu flick his hand, that 'Hongmeng Purple Qi' was thrown into the air, and with a flash of purple light, it broke through the void.

  A figure flashed by beside him, chasing after something. Just then, Kunpeng and Taizhen arrived, only to see someone hiding on the side, already chasing after the "Hongmeng Purple Qi". They didn't even notice Hongyun lying on the ground or Xun Daozi rushing back, as they too rushed in the direction of the "Hongmeng Purple Qi".
