I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 567 Sapling

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past three years, a series of major changes have occurred in the Chixiao Sea area.

First, the leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect, True Man of Blazing Fire, and two Supreme Elders failed in their tribulations and died. True Man of Melting Kite succeeded him as the leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect and took charge of the overall situation.

Not long after, the Xuanfu Sect merged into the Chixiao Sect, and the Nascent Soul cultivator Ji Wufeng became the Supreme Elder of the Chixiao Sect.

Not long after Ji Wufeng became the Supreme Elder of the Crimson Cloud Sect, news spread that Yuanji had successfully transcended his tribulation.

In a short time, Canglan Palace rose to prominence, becoming a veritable Nascent Soul power in the Chixiao Sea Domain.

Moreover, the Crimson Cloud Sect also regarded Yuanji as a guest elder of the Crimson Cloud Sect.

After that, all forces in the Crimson Sky Sea that had been plundering and trading merfolk were severely punished, and those who committed the most heinous crimes were even exterminated.

In a short time, the Merfolk became a powerful race in the Crimson Sky Sea, and no one dared to bully or covet them anymore.

These are all earth-shattering events that have occurred on the surface of the Crimson Sky Sea.

In reality, many important disciples of the Qingyuan Sect secretly switched their allegiance to the Chixiao Sect, the most important of whom were Xiao Hongyi and his son, and Lu Ziying.

Beizhenlushan, Ren Xiaoyao's side, is a road leading from Qingyuan Sect to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

But you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

If Ren Xiaoyao's base in the Earthly Immortal Realm runs into trouble, wouldn't all the Qingyuan Sect disciples who go there afterward be walking into a trap?
Coincidentally, the Chixiao Sect also had some foothold in Nanzhen Jishan.

If some of the Qingyuan Sect disciples were secretly transferred to the Chixiao Sect and went to Nanzhen Jishan as disciples of the Chixiao Sect, that would naturally be another path to ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

In this way, it can be considered as providing double insurance for Qingyuan Sect's future path to the Immortal Realm.

The Crimson Cloud Sect was founded on fire-based martial arts, and Xiao Hongyi and his son were also skilled in fire-based martial arts, making them a perfect fit for the sect.

Lu Ziying, naturally, followed suit.

All three concealed their identities as Nascent Soul cultivators, first joining the Crimson Cloud Sect as disciples recruited by Rong Yuan and another Supreme Elder.

After some time has passed, he will pretend to have survived the Heavenly Tribulation and become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In this way, they became Nascent Soul cultivators who were legitimate disciples of the Crimson Cloud Sect.

Later on, they could rightfully take the positions of Supreme Elder, or even Sect Leader, not only gradually transforming the Crimson Cloud Sect into a branch of the Azure Origin Sect, but also using the Crimson Cloud Sect as a route to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

The mastermind behind this plan was, of course, Xia Daoming.

However, the one who started it all is no longer with the Crimson Cloud Sect or the Azure Origin Sect, but is now in a volcano deep within the Nightmare Sea.

This crater looks no different from other craters on the surface, but there is a very powerful seal deep beneath it.

If this seal had been placed before Xia Daoming obtained the great opportunity of the Dragon Clan Palace, he definitely wouldn't have been able to break it.

But it should be able to be broken now.

After careful observation and study, Xia Daoming drew his sword and went out.

The blade of this sword has layers upon layers of dragon scales, hence it is called the Reverse Scale Sword.

With the Reverse Scale Blade in hand, Xia Daoming took a deep breath. The boundless sea of ​​blood surged, and his primordial spirit in the Yellow Court opened its mouth and spewed out rolling magical power, which flowed into the Crimson Palace of the Blood Sea through the Human-Earth Mystic Pivot, and together with the surging blood and qi, it entered the Reverse Scale Blade.

The layers of dragon scales on the blade seemed to come alive, standing upright one by one.

An overwhelming rage, seemingly capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, erupted from the Reverse Scale Blade.

The blade flashed, coalescing into an angry dragon.

Cut it off with one knife.

It was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split open.

Cracks spread across the seal.

"boom!"

Another slash came down. The seal shattered.

The terrifying explosive force then surged outwards like a landslide.

The volcano collapsed instantly, sending countless rocks flying in all directions.

An astonishing burst of subterranean fire, carrying scorching red magma, shot into the sky from the seabed.

The sea boiled, the earth trembled, and giant waves surged outwards, unleashing a terrifying tsunami.

At the epicenter of the volcanic eruption, Xia Daoming, his entire body covered in golden dragon scales, stepped into the heart of the volcano, where fiery lava was spewing forth, without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Daoming, who was going against the current, disappeared into the gushing lava on the seabed.

"This, this is innate Ren water!"

Looking at the transparent liquid that lay curled up in the middle of the lava like a fetus, exuding a strong vitality and powerful masculine energy, Xia Daoming's eyes showed an expression of great surprise.

The innate Ren water is one of the true waters.

It is also the purest yang water in the world.

Yin energy nurtures Yang energy.

The ocean belongs to water, with yin energy at its peak and yang energy hidden, nurturing the Ren water.

The sea is like a mother's womb, and Ren water is like a fetus gestating and being born in that womb.

There are rumors that the innate Ren water is formed by absorbing the essence of all the seas and gathering the essence of heaven and earth.

It takes a long time and special circumstances for a single drop to condense.

The innate Ren water here, absorbing the Yang energy of the North Zhenhai Earth Fire and the Yin energy of the myriad seas day and night, has actually taken the shape of a fetus, and it is unknown how many years it has been gestating!

Just as Xia Daoming was overjoyed, he planted the Fire Phoenix Tree in front of the Crimson Palace. Ever since it had appeared in the Demon Refining Abyss and saved his life, the new bark of the Fire Phoenix Tree had aged in several places. The new branches of the Fire Phoenix Tree, which had been undisturbed, suddenly seemed to sense something and began to shine brightly with red light again, shaking incessantly as if trying to break free.

"what!"

Xia Daoming's heart stirred, and he pointed his hand towards his chest, from which a new branch of the Fire Phoenix Tree flew out.

As soon as the new branch flew out, it "whooshed" through the churning magma and then disappeared into the fetus-like mass of innate Ren water.

Once it enters the innate Ren water, the originally wrinkled old bark quickly turns into tender new bark again. Not only that, but very fine roots slowly grow from the bottom of the new branches.

Once the root grows out, the previously dormant buds begin to slowly break open, sprouting new tender branches and leaves.

As these changes proceeded slowly, what was once a bare branch gradually transformed into a sapling.

"This..." Xia Daoming's heart pounded wildly.

No one knew the wonders of the Fire Phoenix Tree better than him.

At that time, it was just a dead tree.

Now, it has grown into a sapling, and even a fool could tell that its future wonders would be unimaginable.

"An incredible opportunity! An incredible opportunity!" Xia Daoming murmured to himself, his lips trembling.

He had thought it would take countless years for this branch to grow.

Even though Xia Daoming kept supplying it with vital energy and pure soil, it was just a last-ditch effort. He didn't dare to hope that it could truly come back to life, help refine demonic energy, or play a role from time to time. If it could, then all his efforts would not have been in vain.

To his utter surprise, by sheer chance, the branch grew into a sapling.

"Hey, leave some for me!"

Just as Xia Daoming was overjoyed, he suddenly realized that the fetus-like mass of innate Ren water was almost gone. He was immediately as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head and exclaimed in shock.

PS: That's all for today's update. I'm going to the hospital for minor surgery today, so I'll be taking a break from updating for four or five days, maybe a few more. The Xuanhuan Realm storyline is almost finished, so I'll use this time to carefully plan the scenarios for the Earthly Immortal Realm.
