Lu Changsheng cultivated the Enlightenment Red Coral Tree in his Inner World.
The crimson coral tree emitted a faint red glow, with random Great Dao Laws symbols appearing, mysterious and awe-inspiring.
Observing the Great Dao symbols of the Enlightenment Red Coral Tree, Lu Changsheng briefly entered a state of Path Comprehension.
His understanding of the Great Dao took a step further.
"This is a great item."
Lu Changsheng felt that his comprehension of the Great Dao was infinitely close to the Immortal Realm, with only a thin barrier separating him from it, ready to break through at any moment.
Suddenly, a figure appeared: "Junior Brother, thereâs a serious problem, a serious problem!"
"Zhao, what has made you so flustered?"
The newcomer was none other than Zhao Wuyan.
Zhao Wuyan wiped the sweat from his forehead, hurriedly arriving at Primordial Mountain: "Lin Xuanshuang has been trapped by the Blood Sea Palace! Lin Qinghan sent me to ask you to return to the Holy Land."
"Has the Blood Sea Palace attacked the Holy Land?"
Lin Xuanshuang, a master in the Divine King Realm, being trapped by the Blood Sea Palace, was enough to show that these Blood Sea Palace demons were no ordinary foe.
Zhao Wuyan, panting heavily, said: "No, a group of Blood Sea Palace demons has occupied Zhengsheng Mountain, raising mortals and refining boys and girls, committing all sorts of evils. Lin Xuanshuang went to eliminate these demons but was unexpectedly captured by the opponent using a Demon Bottle. If Lin Xuanshuang hadnât brought a treasured item, sheâd probably have been refined."
"Letâs go."
Lu Changsheng was greatly indebted to the Tai Hua Holy Land, and now that Lin Xuanshuang was in trouble, he certainly wouldnât ignore it.
"Lu, we have a situation in Guanghan Palace, I need to return to the palace."
Xia Ningxue had received a letter from Guanghan Palace.
The Three Realms were in turmoil, demons rampaging, and as the Guanghan Palace Master, Xia Ningxue was also stretched thin.
"Is the matter urgent on your end?"
"I have confidence."
"Since thatâs the case, we will act separately."
Lu Changsheng knew that if he broke through to the Immortal Realm, achieving immortality could ensure eternal companionship.
Lu Changsheng gestured with two fingers, the Longsword unsheathed, and he, along with disciples and Holy Land Elders brought to Primordial Mountain, transformed into streaks of flowing light, shooting into the sky.
Xia Ningxue watched Lu Changshengâs group disappear, her previously calm demeanor now showing some concern: "Hopefully my master is okay. Follow me."
Xia Ningxue led the Guanghan Palace Elders away from Primordial Mountain.
At Taihua Divine Mountain, Liu Yueâer and Lin Qinghan, mother and daughter, were extremely anxious.
With Lin Xuanshuang trapped at Zhengsheng Mountain, while Lin Shiyu, Chu Wu, Qiao Wei, and Daoist Mo Ping were worried that it might be a trick from the Blood Sea Palace to lure them away, they didnât rashly leave Mount Taihua.
Waiting for the return of Lu Changsheng, Shi Niandao, and Zhu Xinguang, these powerful forces, whether to advance or retreat, would have room to maneuver.
"When will Junior Brother return?"
Lin Qinghan held a talisman, able to communicate with Lin Xuanshuang.
With the treasured item protecting Lin Xuanshuang, she hadnât been captured by the Blood Sea Palace.
The talisman transmitted Lin Xuanshuangâs calm voice: "Sister, you donât need to worry overly about my situation. I have this premonition that the Blood Sea Palace didnât intend to kill me directly. It might be just as the Ancestor guessed; theyâre planning to lure us away. Be patient and wait for Lu Changsheng and them to return, then there will be a way to save me."
Lin Qinghan looked anxious: "But what if the Blood Sea Palace loses patience..."
"Theyâve set up a trap; itâs not so easy to give up. Besides, although Iâve been taken into the Demon Bottle, I have the Holy Landâs Mysterious-grade Treasured Item âMystic Bird Jade Pendantâ to protect me. Even if they wish to kill me, they wonât be able to refine me immediately. Now that youâre in charge of the Holy Land, you must prioritize its interests, remain calm in times of crisis."
Lin Xuanshuang, situated amidst endless demonic fire, wore a mystic bird-shaped jade pendant around her neck, with flames flowing from the pendant forming a barrier, shielding Lin Xuanshuang and other trapped Tai Hua Holy Land Elders from the demonic fire.
Lin Qinghan seemed to see Lin Xuanshuangâs circumstances through the talisman, but knowing Lin Xuanshuangâs words were reasonable, she said, "Once Junior Brother returns, Iâll go with him to rescue you, Elder Sister."
"Thatâs right. I need to save True Qi, so I wonât contact you for now."
Lin Xuanshuang ceased activating the talisman, temporarily cutting off contact with Lin Qinghan.
Trapped in the Demon Bottle of the Blood Sea Palace demons, Lin Xuanshuang couldnât draw natureâs spiritual energy from outside, and using the talisman to transmit sound over long distances to Lin Qinghan consumed a lot of True Qi.
Lin Xuanshuang frowned.
To avoid worrying Lin Qinghan and Liu Yueâer, Lin Xuanshuang feigned composure, but her situation wasnât ideal.
The "Mystic Bird Jade Pendant" was a Mysterious-grade Treasured Item forged by the Mount Taihua Goddess who founded the Tai Hua Holy Land, protecting Lin Xuanshuang and others from being refined by demonic fire.
But maintaining the barrier of the Mystic Bird Jade Pendant consumed a significant amount of True Qi.
Within the Demon Bottle, isolated from the outside world, Lin Xuanshuang could only rely on her own True Qi and the Elixir Pills she carried to sustain the drain.
She had already used many Elixir Pills and couldnât hold out much longer.
As Lin Qinghan grew increasingly restless, a group of powerful presences returned to Taihua Divine Mountain, landing in the grand plaza.
Recognizing the familiar presence, Lin Qinghan was overjoyed: "Junior Brother is back!"
"Weâre going to rescue your sister."
Understanding Lin Qinghanâs worries, Lu Changsheng was ready to depart immediately upon returning.
During the return journey, Lu Changsheng had prepared various Elixir Pills, magical items, and talismans.
Lin Xuanshuang trapped by the Blood Sea Palace was in dire straits, and the longer the delay, the more precarious her situation became.
"Iâll go with you. Mother, you stay at the Holy Land and wait for Father to return."
Impatient to rescue Lin Xuanshuang, Lin Qinghan took the Taihua Divine Umbrella, eager to set off.
"Be careful, all of you."
Liu Yueâer was greatly concerned for both daughters.
"Ensure you stay on guard, this could be a perilous trap set by the Blood Sea Palace."
The Ancestor Lin Shiyuâs voice rang in the ears of Lu Changsheng, Lin Qinghan, Shi Niandao, Zhu Xinguang, and others.
"We will."
Recognizing the Blood Sea Palace demons wouldnât be easy to deal with, Lu Changsheng felt there were things that simply had to be done.
Zhengsheng Mountain lay within the Tai Hua Holy Landâs domain, and Lu Changshengâs group, using Sword Flight and Shrinking the Earth to Inches, quickly saw the nine peaks of Zhengsheng Mountain.
Once holy, Zhengsheng Mountain was now shrouded in blood clouds, emitting a nauseating stench as if it were a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Such astonishing blood energy; who knows how many creatures this demon has refined."
Shi Niandao tightened his brows, his expression showing disgust toward the Blood Sea Palace demons.
"Disciple, go and probe."
Lu Changsheng instructed Lu Qinglian to take action.
"Yes!"
With excitement, Lu Qinglian unleashed the Merit Golden Lotus, Nirvana Flames Red Lotus, World-Ending Black Lotus, Purifying White Lotus, and Creation-Blue Lotus, five lotuses surging towards Zhengsheng Mountain.
Soon, a mountain peak of Zhengsheng was consumed by the overwhelming Nirvana flames, countless Blood Sea Palace disciples wailing in agony.
Cultivating Demonic Arts, committing atrocities, bound by karmic obstacles, the Nirvana Flames Red Lotus burned them with karmic fire, one by one, the Demon Sects disciples turned to dust.
"Who dares provoke the Blood Infant Ancestor!"
A dense blood aura erupted from the grand hall of Zhengsheng Mountain, turning the sky into a crimson sea of blood.
