At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

The Five Palaces of Taiyuan are located under the Golden Summit of Emei. These are five caves opened up based on the Taiyuan Cave Heaven, a place full of spiritual energy, hence the name of the Five Palaces of Taiyuan. According to the leading disciples of the Emei School, there are at least a thousand stone rooms in the five caves of Taiyuan for practitioners to use.

Among them, Taiyuan Cave Heaven is the most important place of inheritance for Emei Sect. It has a profound heritage and contains countless secrets. It is not a place suitable for outsiders to live in. Therefore, even though Qingcheng Sect is the first sect to arrive in Emei, it can only choose one area among the remaining four prefectures to set up camp.

Yu'e Zhenren found a place with the most abundant spiritual energy in Shangyuan Cave for the Qingcheng Sect team, and then disappeared like a ghost. No one knew whether he was looking for old friends from Emei Sect to reminisce or discuss important matters. The stone chambers in Shangyuan Cave vary in size, but they are all quite neat and clean. Su Rui could not tell the difference between the stone chambers, so he lived next to Zhang Beiyang and Yuan Ning, and each of them picked an empty stone chamber to live in.

Seeing that Mount Emei was still relatively calm and there would not be any war in the next two days, Su Rui built a small auxiliary formation in the stone chamber to practice the "Nine Cuts Golden Elixir Magic Method" and immediately started a new round of practice.

He made hand gestures and muttered something. Mysterious runes flew out of his hands like dancing butterflies and fell into the small formation. As the runes continued to merge, the small formation began to make a buzzing sound and exuded a mysterious aura.

The spiritual energy in Shangyuan Cave is three times thicker than that in Xuanmiao Temple of Jinbian Cliff of Qingcheng Sect. Su Rui took a deep breath, feeling the rich spiritual energy around him. He closed his eyes and began to practice his skills with all his strength.

As time went by, Su Rui seemed to merge with the surrounding spiritual energy. In his Dantian, the golden elixir with seven dan halos was running rapidly. Su Rui's mind moved, and he did not hesitate to use the "Nine Cuts Golden Elixir Magic Method" again and cut towards the golden elixir. This cut was like a thunderbolt, with unparalleled power.

However, this time the self-cutting was not as smooth as before. After the golden elixir was attacked, it just trembled violently, but no cracks appeared. Su Rui endured the dizziness and once again used his mind to turn into a knife, and chopped down the golden elixir that was spinning around in his dantian...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and when he pushed open the heavy stone door again, a strong aura emanated from him like a volcanic eruption. The golden elixir in his dantian, which originally had only seven dan halos, had now turned into nine dan halos!

Su Rui was filled with endless emotion. He had never thought that his luck would be so good. During this period, he cut off his own golden elixir twice, just because he had nothing to do and wanted to speed up his cultivation. However, unexpectedly, this action brought such a huge gain.

A top-grade golden elixir that cuts out nine halos means that the practice of "Nine-cut Golden Elixir Magic Method" has reached its peak, and then one can directly move on to the next stage - the practice of nurturing the Nascent Soul in the golden elixir.

However, this step requires the consumption of a large amount of natural materials and treasures to stimulate the changes in the golden elixir. Restraining the indescribable joy in his heart, Su Rui walked out of Shangyuan Cave Heaven with brisk steps. He was surprised to find that Taiyuan Five Palaces had become more lively than ever before.

When looking outside the mountain, although it was still quiet there, the perceptive Su Rui had already sensed a strong atmosphere of tension, as if foreshadowing a shocking war that was about to break out.

Just as he was secretly thinking that this decisive battle might begin within the next one or two days, something unexpected happened - a large patch of blood-red clouds suddenly appeared in the western sky.

Almost at the same moment, the skies in the east, south, and north each presented completely different and bizarre scenes. In the east, a rain of swords poured down like a waterfall, and each sword flashed with colorful light, like a huge rainbow extending from the distant horizon; the sky in the south was occupied by a ball of emerald green flames with golden sparks, and the pale green flames seemed to indicate that some kind of evil force was coming from the void with a gloomy and terrifying ghost cave; as for the sky in the north, thick black clouds rolled, like a huge black curtain, ruthlessly swallowing up the surrounding light.

Faced with such an astonishing change, how could Su Rui not understand what it meant? There was no doubt that the evil demons that besieged the Emei Sect were already within reach!

The strange phenomenon came as fast as lightning, especially the blood cloud, which was like teleporting. In the blink of an eye, it floated to the edge of Mount Emei and quickly dyed half of the sky of Mount Emei a shocking red. Although it was far away, Su Rui could still vaguely see the blood cloud flowing like blood, with the shadows of gods and demons and bursts of roars coming out of it. What was even more unbelievable was that he actually smelled a strong and pungent smell of blood.

"Could it be that someone really moved the Netherworld Blood River here?" Su Rui thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel that this possibility was very high.

At the same time, colorful lights, green fires, and black clouds coming from the other three directions also occupied half of the sky. The colorful lights reflected the images of sword immortals dressed in tight clothes and fluttering belts. Just by standing in the air, they stimulated the innate Gengjin Chi Lei Sword Evil in Su Rui's body and automatically deployed defense. Su Rui felt familiar with the appearance of several sword immortals. After a little thought, he immediately remembered that they were the Wutai Mountain disciples he had seen in the magic cave.

Su Rui was very familiar with the figure revealed in the golden green fire. It was the long-lost Master Bai Gu and his disciples. And the one standing above the black cloud was an old man who looked like a mummy. His skin was blue, his eyes were mostly white, and he had fangs in his mouth. He looked like a zombie.

"The Blood God Cult, the Southern Demon Cult, Mount Wutai, the Xuanyin Cult, and some others have not yet arrived. This time, so many demonic forces are besieging Mount Emei. The scene is really grand!" True Man Yu'e had come to Su Rui's side at some point, looking up at the surging blood river, green fire, sword light, and black clouds in the sky, raised his eyebrows and shouted coldly.

Su Rui came to his senses and looked around, only to find that he was surrounded by disciples from various sects. Su Rui even saw familiar faces in the crowd, such as Shi Chaoyun from Kunlun Sect and Guo Yiming from Laoshan Sect, and even saw a few monks with big bald heads. It seemed that during the two days of his retreat, the support teams from the major righteous sects had also arrived here.
