I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 576 Nirvana Sacred Flame
this day.

While diligently circulating his qi and blood energy and true essence within the cave, Xia Daoming not only nourished and tempered the Crimson Palace Divine Weapon and the Yellow Court Primordial Spirit, but also sent wisps of qi and blood energy drifting towards the Fire Phoenix Tree.

"Crash!"

The branches and leaves of the fire sycamore swayed, absorbing all the drifting blood and true essence.

The fire sycamore trees of today have changed considerably compared to ten years ago, showing signs of becoming quite lush and leafy.

The life force it exudes becomes increasingly pure, rich, and powerful.

Although the fire sycamore tree has changed a lot, it is still just a sapling and is still a long way from growing into a towering tree.

However, Xia Daoming was already very satisfied.

There is a Tree of Life planted on Crimson Island within his body. It seems to be absorbing his blood and true essence every moment, but the life force it emits is also nourishing his divine weapon, primordial spirit, and physical body every moment.

Moreover, each leaf of the Fire Phoenix Tree contains ancient patterns that contain the mysteries of the Great Dao, and when the branches and leaves sway, Daoist sounds resonate within his body.

Those ancient patterns and Daoist sounds were of great benefit to his understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"Not bad!"

Feeling the changes happening to the Crimson Palace Divine Weapon, the Yellow Court Primordial Spirit, the muscles and bones, and the Fire Phoenix Tree every moment, Xia Daoming opened his eyes with satisfaction, preparing to leave seclusion, gather with his family and fellow disciples, and give a lecture.

In these short ten years, with the help of the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal of the Divine Weapon Tribulation and the Fire Phoenix Tree, he comprehended many of the true meanings of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

He must pass on these profound truths of the Great Dao before ascending to the Immortal Realm.

This is one of the greatest treasures he left to the Qingyuan Sect, and it is the capital that will enable the Qingyuan Sect to continuously cultivate Nascent Soul cultivators in the future.

Just as Xia Daoming opened his eyes and prepared to leave the seclusion, suddenly, the branches and leaves of the small fire sycamore sapling rustled without wind, as if the Great Dao itself was echoing.

The tree trunk trembled in the next instant, and a booming sound, like a bell tolling in the heavens, startled the entire universe.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of crimson light burst forth from the heart of the sapling, instantly creating a magnificent crimson glow.

Within that crimson light, a breathtaking phenomenon suddenly appeared—

Within, the world collapsed, all things fell silent, leaving only a deep and boundless darkness, like the primordial chaos before the creation of the fire realm.

In the depths of endless darkness, a blazing fire slowly rose, its crimson flames like a rosy cloud, condensing and refusing to dissipate. Within the firelight, an ancient divine bird flapped its wings as if about to take flight, its feathers like the blazing sun, its form like a phoenix rising from the heavens, surrounded by a supreme aura of burning through life and death, of rebirth and renewal.

"The Sacred Flame of Nirvana! That is the Sacred Flame of Nirvana!"

Xia Daoming was filled with excitement and his blood was boiling.

"Where is it? Little Wutong, can you sense its location?" Xia Daoming's voice trembled, filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

Ever since the sapling absorbed the Southern Bright Fire, it has become spiritually connected.

Between a person and a tree, they can communicate simply with each other using their spiritual senses.

The branches and leaves of the parasol tree spread out, turning northward.

An even more astonishing and magnificent scene emerged from the crimson light.

The vast ocean is dotted with islands.

In the depths of that vast ocean lies endless darkness.

That is the place where the Nirvana Holy Fire is located, but it is not clear which sea area it is in.

However, when Xia Daoming's gaze fell on the edge of the scene, a place that seemed extremely far from the Nirvana Sacred Flame, he was greatly shocked.

The scenery there was already very blurry; only a towering mountain could be seen faintly.

"That, that's Beizhenlu Mountain! The Nirvana Sacred Flame is actually in Beizhenhai!"

Xia Daoming was overjoyed.

Then, he immediately left the pass.

Just as he was about to step out of the cave, eager to return to Beizhenhai immediately and then rush along the direction sensed by the phoenix tree, he inexplicably felt a pang of heart palpitation, as if he had caught something. His raised foot hovered in mid-air, and then he withdrew it.

"Little Wutong, can you always sense the Nirvana Sacred Flame?"

"can!"

"very good!"

After receiving a positive answer, Xia Daoming immediately issued an order from the Grand Elder, demanding that the core disciples who were away return to the mountain gate immediately.

Having reached his level of understanding and comprehending many profound principles of the universe over the years, a sudden palpitation is definitely not a good sign.

But now that he knew about the Nirvana Sacred Flame, he could never give up! Fortunately, he was powerful enough that even the supervising immortal envoys who guarded the Five Mountains were no match for him, and he also had the Fire Phoenix Tree protecting him. He was confident that he would not be in danger of dying in this Xuanhuan Realm.

It is very likely that something unexpected happened when he was collecting the Nirvana Sacred Flame, which may even have triggered the laws of Heaven, forcing him to leave the Xuanhuan Realm ahead of schedule.

So after receiving a positive answer from the phoenix tree, he decided to first settle all the affairs before going to collect the Nirvana Sacred Flame.

After the Grand Elder issued the order, Xia Daoming ceased his seclusion for cultivation.

He spends his days either playing cards with his three beautiful wives or traveling around the world.

Of course, he also took the opportunity to impart Taoist teachings during their time together, and consulted Ji Wenyue and Liu Qiaolian about alchemy and formations.

Each profession has its own expertise, and Ji Wenyue and Liu Qiaolian are unparalleled geniuses in alchemy and formation.

Even though Xia Daoming's cultivation was profound, he still felt inferior to his two wives in these two areas and needed to humbly learn from them.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The core disciples of Qingyuan Sect, including Zuo Dongge, Xiao Jin, Lu Ziying and others who had gone out, all returned one by one.

After all the core disciples returned.

Xia Daoming opened an altar to impart his teachings.

There is a sequence to learning the Way, and those who attain it come first.

This time, even Zuo Dongge, who is Xia Daoming's master, had to sit next to him and listen to his teachings.

As for elders like Yue Huang, needless to say.

During this sermon, Xia Daoming diligently imparted knowledge and answered questions.

Soon, half a year passed.

This day.

After kissing and embracing his three wives, Xia Daoming left Qingyang Ridge quietly without informing anyone.

same moment.

The Supreme Elder's Residence.

A dignified and beautiful woman, arm in arm with a short old man, silently gazed at the Grand Elder's residence.

Zuo Dongge's swordsmanship has reached a profound level, and he also has a deep bond with his master.

He sensed it the moment Xia Daoming left.

Aren't you going to see them off?

"Since he doesn't want me to see him off, then I won't! Anyway, sooner or later, we master and disciple will reunite!" Zuo Dongge said magnanimously, without a care in the world.

After saying that, Zuo Dongge turned around, casually flicked his sleeve, and brushed it past the corner of his eye.
-
half year later.

North Zhenhai, deep in a certain sea area.

Xia Daoming stood before a spatial rift in the deep sea.

The sacred flame of Nirvana is sealed within this ancient barrier.

Even through the crack, he could clearly sense the disorder and instability of the interior space.

He showed a hint of hesitation.

The power of space is the most mysterious.

Even with his current level of cultivation, he has only just begun to grasp the basics.

Moreover, this barrier is extremely large in scale and is buried deep in the dark abyss. Its complexity far exceeds his imagination and is many levels higher than any spatial secret realm he has explored before.

At the heart of the barrier, the sacred flame of rebirth burned fiercely, its released power maintaining a strange balance with a terrifying force lurking in the darkness. It was this delicate confrontation that constituted the entire spatial system.

Unbeknownst to them, this balance had begun to tilt, causing spatial rifts to appear, which were then perceived by the Fire Phoenix Tree.

Xia Daoming was unsure whether his intrusion as an outsider would completely shatter this fragile balance and cause the barrier to collapse prematurely.

But one thing he was absolutely certain of was that once he collected that sacred fire, the barrier would be destroyed!

As for whether one can survive after the collapse, that depends on one's own fate.

　That concludes today's update.
