I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 569 Nanming Lihuo
"There's news about the real fire?" Xia Daoming was shocked upon hearing this, his eyes filled with joy.

He already possessed two kinds of true water, but because he lacked true fire, both kinds of true water were useless, thus delaying his advancement opportunity.

The opportunity to advance was delayed, and the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body Divine Power was also delayed.

If it weren't for his three beloved wives and many fellow disciples, and his desire to ascend to the Immortal Realm with his wives, Xia Daoming would have gone to the Immortal Realm first to find the True Fire.

After all, the resources of the Immortal Realm are far superior to those of the lower realm.

Finding true fire in the Immortal Realm should be much easier than in the lower realm.

Now that there's finally news of a real fire, how could Xia Daoming not be overjoyed?

"Yes, it's news from Zhenhuo. Not long ago, Ji Wufeng sent someone back with a message saying that a volcano suddenly erupted deep in the Hanyou Mountains of the Minyan Continent."

Flames and lava shot thousands of feet into the sky, and the ice and snow that had been frozen for thousands of miles around melted, causing a series of massive avalanches.

This matter naturally alarmed the cultivators of the Minyan Continent, who rushed to investigate. Ji Wufeng happened to be leading a group of people in the Minyan Continent at that time, and upon receiving the news, he also immediately went there.

The result was that the lava was not only extremely hot, but also had a faint glow of fire shining up from below, revealing a small, fiery red bird.

The little bird exuded an aura that seemed capable of incinerating heaven and earth, much like the legendary Vermilion Bird, leading Ji Wufeng to suspect that the Southern Ming Fire might be hidden beneath it.

Before Ji Wufeng arrived, he heard that many powerful figures had entered the magma to investigate and see if any extraordinary treasures had appeared. Among them were two Nascent Soul cultivators who had undergone the first tribulation.

As a result, all those who went in disappeared without a trace, never to return. Therefore, Ji Wufeng immediately ordered the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who were with him to send the message back, while he himself remained in Hanyou Mountain to observe how things would develop. "Xiao Hongyi said quickly.

"For a Nascent Soul cultivator to perish, it seems the fire is truly deadly! Ji Wufeng is a prudent person who didn't act rashly but instead sent the message back first. Excellent! He deserves a great reward, and the three who sent the message should also be credited!" Xia Daoming said excitedly after hearing this.

"Of course." Xiao Hongyi nodded and asked, "When do you plan to set off?"

“The matter of the True Fire is of utmost importance, so we must go there immediately. However, I have no idea where the Minyan Continent is in the South Sea. I need someone to guide me so that we can get there as quickly as possible,” Xia Daoming said.

"The sea is vast and boundless. The Minyan Continent is very far from the Chixiao Sea. This is the first time that the three messengers and Ji Wufeng have set foot on the Minyan Continent."

On their return journey, they got lost multiple times and encountered many dangers. In desperation, the three parted ways to avoid delaying their mission. Now, one of them, after a year and eleven months, has finally arrived at Crimson Cloud Immortal Island first.

If he were to lead the way, we would likely get lost and waste time. Therefore, before I came, I immediately instructed Rong Yuan to wait for me on Crimson Cloud Immortal Island.

She is over 2,700 years old this year and has traveled to many places in Nanzhenhai. She has even reached the waters near Nanzhenjishan, but she has never dared to set foot on Nanzhenjishan.

"If she leads the way, we should be able to avoid many detours and reach the Minyan Continent as quickly as possible," Xiao Hongyi analyzed calmly.

"Old ginger is spicier, and Uncle-Master is more thoughtful. Compared to you, I am still far too green." Xia Daoming smiled and flattered him.

"You brat, you're already an Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul Ancestor, yet you're still grinning like an old man. You don't act like an ancestor at all!" Xiao Hongyi glared at Xia Daoming with a smile, but felt a warm glow in his heart.

"Haha, in front of you, my senior uncle, I am just a junior disciple who followed you to the Nirvana Ancient Wilderness Ruins back then," Xia Daoming laughed.

Before Xiao Hongyi could react, Xia Daoming had already created a burst of fire and led Xiao Hongyi towards Chixiao Immortal Island. Before leaving, he didn't forget to send a brief message to Liu Qiaolian and the others through divine sense.

Enveloped in the firelight, Xiao Hongyi, who had originally intended to speak, suddenly became solemn and dignified. He then sat cross-legged and remained silent, allowing Xia Daoming to lead him towards Chixiao Immortal Island.

The sapling is a branch of the ancient divine tree, the Fire Phoenix Tree, which has grown new roots and tender leaves, containing the profound and mysterious essence of fire.

Although Xia Daoming had been unable to advance and break through in the past thirty years because he had not been able to find the true fire, his understanding of the true meaning of fire had become increasingly profound due to the sapling. With a casual flick of his wrist, a wisp of fire would rise up, revealing ancient fire runes floating within, which greatly moved and inspired Xiao Hongyi, who was deeply immersed in it, causing him to become involuntarily absorbed in it.

When Xia Daoming saw Xiao Hongyi sitting cross-legged, quietly studying the ancient runes in the firelight, a knowing smile appeared on his lips.

These ancient flame runes that rose up were naturally his deliberate creation, requiring considerable mental effort, all to lend Xiao Hongyi a helping hand. Crimson Sky Immortal Island was far from Yuanhe Cave, and it would take Golden Core cultivators several months to cross the sea and reach the island.

But for Xia Daoming now, it means nothing at all.

In less than half an hour, he had brought Xiao Hongyi to the center of the lake, the Immortal Island of the Crimson Sky Immortal Island.

Xia Daoming had just landed on Xianxiao Island when Rong Yuan respectfully bowed and saluted.

"This servant greets Master!"

"Have you ever been to the Minyan Continent?" Xia Daoming asked, gesturing for her to stand up.

"Reporting to Master, apart from the Cold Nether Mountains in the northwest, which are covered by ice and snow all year round, the rest of the Minyan Continent is almost entirely a place where fire elemental energy is active. There are many volcanoes and lava lakes, and it is rich in fire-attribute spiritual herbs. This servant cultivates fire-type techniques and has gone to the Minyan Continent several times in the past to seek opportunities," Rong Yuan replied respectfully.

"Alright, take me to the Minyan Continent immediately. If things go smoothly, I will reward you for your service and grant you some opportunities to overcome the third Heavenly Tribulation." Xia Daoming was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Rong Yuan was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed, and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master. This servant will lead the way."

A Nascent Soul cultivator faces a tribulation once every thousand years.

Rong Yuan is over 2,700 years old this year, and she doesn't have much time left to undergo her third heavenly tribulation.

Back then, when the ancestor returned to Chixiao Immortal Island from Nanzhen Jishan, Rongyuan served him at every turn, trying to curry favor with him in hopes of obtaining an opportunity to undergo the third Heavenly Tribulation.

However, the ancestor took it for granted and had no intention of bestowing any opportunities upon her. It wasn't until Rong Yuan cautiously asked the ancestor for guidance that the ancestor stared intently at her primordial spirit incarnation.

That time, Rong Yuan finally understood that the ancestor didn't care about her serving him and flattering him. Instead, he wanted her primordial spirit to make love to his primordial spirit and please him. Only then was he willing to bestow some opportunities to transcend tribulations.

Rong Yuan was secretly ashamed and annoyed by this, and struggled with the decision for many days, but still could not make up her mind.

Later, Xia Daoming appeared out of nowhere and easily killed the ancestor, which directly helped her make up her mind.

She then took up the position of leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect and worked diligently for the Azure Origin Sect for more than 30 years, all in order to make merit and gain an opportunity for reward.

Although the position of sect leader appears noble and prestigious on the surface, without external enemies invading the Crimson Sky Sea, all she can do are trivial matters that the behind-the-scenes bigwigs of the Qingyuan Sect, such as Xiao Hongyi, are unwilling to do, and she cannot accumulate any merit.

Without merit, there is no opportunity.

However, she could not leave her position as leader without permission and go elsewhere to seek opportunities.

As her lifespan drew ever closer, Rong Yuan could only worry in secret, but there was nothing she could do.

Unexpectedly, today, simply leading the master on a journey would be considered a great achievement, granting him the opportunity to undergo three heavenly tribulations. How could Rong Yuan not be overjoyed!
"Let's go. For now, you'll be in charge of the myriad ghosts within this banner." Xia Daoming nodded, reached for his waist, and pulled out a banner.

It was the Banner of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

With a single unfurling of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, it sucked the Molten Kites away.

Then the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner transformed into a large black bird.

Xia Daoming stepped onto the giant bird.

The large bird spread its wings, stirring up a cold, strong wind, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

　That concludes today's update.
