The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror

The Southern Seven Constellations are also known as the Vermilion Bird Seven Stars.

Xu Qing referred to this divine skill as the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, belonging to the Seven Stars of the Vermilion Bird. After his Purple Mansion was created, the Xuantian Visualization Method opened one of the three Divine Soul Hidden Veins, the Heavenly Market Emperor Meridian, and thus connected with the Vermilion Bird Seven Stars.

The proficiency of his Vermilion Bird Seven Stars was certainly not comparable to the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber, but after invoking the Southern Seven Stars, the faint image of a Vermilion Bird Divine Bird emerged from Xu Qing's Divine Soul, absorbing the star power of the Southern Seven Stars, like a small sun within the Weiyang Divine Fog, burning the divine fog.

At this time, Teacher Kong had replaced the Yang Family Head in issuing orders, instructing the skilled archers among the barbarian soldiers to shoot arrows coated with the fresh blood of fierce beasts into the Weiyang Divine Fog.

These arrows had special talismans, combined with blood killing, which were highly effective against the Divine Soul.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing invoked the Southern Seven Stars and released the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, creating a break in the Weiyang Divine Fog before the arrows could reach, transforming into a serpentine dragon to smoothly escape.

"The Weiyang Divine Sword is indeed formidable. I kindly ask Yang Xuanweishi to keep it safe as I will retrieve it in three days."

In the void, Xu Qing's laughter echoed, like rolling thunder, crashing into the military camp.

Teacher Kong was astonished, "This man is Xu Qing."

He did not expect Xu Qing's divine skills to be this powerful, able to use the Divine Soul to escape in front of the army and elude the Weiyang Divine Fog.

How infuriating.

Had Teacher Kong known it was Xu Qing, he should have waited until Xu Qing penetrated deeper into the camp before taking action, for then, even if Xu Qing were a Ghost Immortal level Yin God, it would have been difficult to escape the blood killing aura of the army.

Teacher Kong quickly regained composure, addressing the Yang Family Head: "Sir, do not worry. This Weiyang Divine Sword is an ancestral treasure of the Zhuge family. Back then, even Cao's army of a hundred thousand was covered by the divine fog for half a day. Even though Xu Gongming escaped this time, he could not dispel the divine fog, showing that their divine skills are nothing extraordinary."

The Yang Family Head nodded. As long as he was within the army, no matter how powerful the opponent's Dao Skill Divine Power was, he was not afraid, especially with the Weiyang Divine Sword in hand.

However, Xu Qing's words lingered, stating he would come to retrieve the sword in three days, leaving him slightly anxious.

…

…

In the city of Juzhou, Xu Qing opened his eyes.

Su Lianqing: "Master, how are things?"

Xu Qing smiled: "The Weiyang Divine Sword is indeed formidable, no wonder Master Xiong Chan instructed me to obtain it on this trip."

Although he used the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire to open a breach in the Weiyang Divine Fog, he also recognized the power of the Weiyang Divine Sword, truly remarkable, capable of exerting significant power even within an army.

With this divine artifact in hand, it would certainly impact the old demon of Black Mountain.

Su Lianqing: "Master, since the Weiyang Divine Sword is so formidable, it might be difficult to break through, right?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Go invite Brother Feng over."

"Yes."

Soon, Feng Qintian arrived upon hearing the news.

Xu Qing explained the details of the Weiyang Divine Sword, saying: "In the battle three days later, if they activate the Weiyang Divine Fog, it would be difficult for us to resist. After contemplating, only Thunder Skill can break it. At that time, I will need Brother Feng to protect me."

He had a peach wood sword and had learned the method to guide Heavenly Thunder at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The peach wood sword being of thunderstruck wood was perfect for guiding heavenly thunder.

At that time, using the Golden Light Spell as a foundation, the peach wood sword as a medium, and guiding heavenly thunder, it would naturally break the Weiyang Divine Fog.

As for the timing set three days later, it was precisely because Xu Qing calculated the timing; there would definitely be a heavenly thunder then, making it a good opportunity to draw thunder.

However, once it rained, the army would be stuck in the mud, making battle quite arduous.

But this was fair; the Yang's barbarians would face the same.

Moreover, the Purple Thunder Cannon had already been transported here, and just before the heavy rain, guiding heavenly thunder along with the Purple Thunder Cannon's attack, even disregarding its lethality, its mere might would terrify the barbarian soldiers.

This was to attack their minds first.

It could be said that although Xu Qing did not use any extraordinary schemes, he had strange devices and skills.

And through his prior observations, he found no particularly formidable presences in the opponent's camp, merely a bunch of small fry.

Teacher Kong naturally did not expect himself to be grouped among the minor annoyances by Xu Qing.

This was because Xu Qing's standards were now so high that even refining internal masters barely caught his attention.

Teacher Kong was only insightful but his strength was just adequate.

The only thing Xu Qing feared was the army's blood killing aura, capable of unsettling a Ghost Immortal level Yin God, making it difficult to perform Dao Skills, let alone his current Divine Soul, which was only slightly stronger than that of a typical possessed Divine Soul Master, not reaching the Ghost Immortal level.

In war, the Martial Saints still had greater influence, charging and breaking through with unstoppable force.

Yet Ghost Immortals could reincarnate, a feat beyond Martial Saints.

Moreover, one-on-one, a Ghost Immortal and Martial Saint could vie intricately.

If equipped with a powerful magic artifact, a Martial Saint could possibly be worn down by the numerous techniques of a Ghost Immortal.

Of course, an unfortunate Ghost Immortal could also have their Divine Soul shattered upon being captured by a Martial Saint in this process.

Thus, most immortals avoid fighting, letting their steeds do the hard work, valuing their precious lives.

Xu Qing's skill of invoking heavenly thunder with a peach wood sword through the Golden Light Spell bore a remarkable resemblance to the legendary "Divine Sword Thunder" of sword cultivators.

However, "Divine Sword Thunder" could be deployed anytime, anywhere without regard to timing or location.

Moreover, "Divine Sword Thunder" was a secret of the Shangqing Sect.

In current times, only the Lao Mountain's Upper Qing Palace might have the heritage.

Even now, whether there was anyone in Lao Mountain's Upper Qing Palace able to perform it remained uncertain.

…

…

Time quickly passed, and Xu Qing's side prepared adequately for the military expedition.

Though called an army, they actually outnumbered the Yang's barbarians, and these official soldiers, after some time of reorganization, only had better discipline, their actual combat ability being quite unclear.
