I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 608 News of True Fire
News of the Battle of Tiegu Ridge spread like wildfire, quickly reaching the county seat.

Inside the City God Pavilion in the prefectural city.

After hearing the report from the scout, the pavilion master and his staff looked at each other in astonishment, seemingly unable to believe what they were hearing.

After a while, the pavilion master suddenly looked up and laughed loudly.

"Haha! I, the Pavilion Master, have misjudged her! This Xingyi is even more outstanding than I imagined. In such a short time, not only has she made rapid progress, but she has also dared to destroy several evil lairs in a single battle. The True Immortal behind her is truly remarkable; not only is he powerful, but he also dares to act recklessly!"

The scholar smiled slightly and said, "My lord, isn't this exactly the situation you've been hoping for? The more powerful and unscrupulous her backer is, the more trouble she'll stir up. Perhaps she can really overturn the established forces of one or two prefectures."

The pavilion master stroked his beard and laughed, thoroughly enjoying himself.

At the same time, many large and small forces in the county town that enjoyed the offerings from those demon caves and evil lairs also received reports one after another.

Cang Shunyi, the third master of the Cang family, was also among them.

These people were understandably shocked and furious upon hearing the news.

However, no one acted like Cang Shunyi did in the past, immediately sending people or personally coming to confront him!
Instead, they all remained inactive.

After all, those demon caves and evil lairs that were destroyed were merely unimportant peripheral appendages to them. At most, their offerings were cut off and their eyes and ears were lost. Although this was infuriating, it did not cause any real damage.

For them, the biggest problem with the destruction of their peripheral vassals was the loss of face and the challenge to their authority.

This is something they cannot tolerate.

However, Xingyi's performance was astonishing, and the fact that Cang Shunyi had been defeated by her behind-the-scenes person in one move had also reached their ears, making them somewhat wary. They wanted to observe and investigate further before making a decision.

Ideally, someone could help scout ahead and explore the way!
Therefore, after receiving the news in the county town, things appeared calm on the surface with no reaction, but undercurrents were actually surging.

Each family secretly sent out spies to keep a close watch on the Yujian area, waiting for the right opportunity.
-
However, the six directions of the land present a completely different scene.

The news caused a sensation.

The fierce demons and evil cultivators, terrified at the mere mention of his name, fled far away overnight.

The people spread the news and cheered wildly.

Incense burned brightly in front of the temple, and people knelt down to pray.

A man, accompanied by his elderly mother, wept and kowtowed, his voice trembling as he said, "Thank you, Lord Si Tu, for protecting this region and bringing peace!"

Some children in the streets and alleys imitated the "water tornado demon," waving wooden sticks and shouting, as if that battle had been passed down as a myth.

Moreover, even more people from the surrounding areas migrated to the six directions of the Jade Stream and the other six places.

The number of worshippers surged after that, and the temples of the six directions were filled with rosy clouds and the aroma of sandalwood.

The Yujian Zhitu Temple was particularly prosperous, with incense burning like a well.

In the main hall, Xingyi's primordial spirit sat upright, with the chieftain's jade seal hanging above her head.

A faint shadowy figure appeared behind her, flickering like a candle flame in the wind. It was the appearance of her original physical body, but it no longer existed.

When she appears in public, it is merely a manifestation of her primordial spirit, not her true physical body.

The power of incense continuously flowed from the jade seal, slowly sinking into the top of the primordial spirit.

As the power of incense continued to flow in, the illusory figure behind the primordial spirit gradually became clearer and more real.

However, it still looks quite different from truly solidifying and forming a real body. But Xingyi remained calm and composed, her mind as still as a deep well.

With such a large supply of incense offerings, as long as we persevere, it's only a matter of time before the true form is restored.

apse.

Xia Daoming was surrounded by immortal stones and was meditating with his eyes closed.

Xingyi cleared out five demonic lairs and evil caves in the Qidi, seizing a considerable amount of immortal stones and nourishing items, relieving his immediate crisis. In a short time, he no longer had to worry about his cultivation needs.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

For a true immortal who spends hundreds or thousands of years undergoing a tribulation, or even 10,800 years to activate the Yin Fire within their body and prepare for their tribulation, a year is but a fleeting moment, utterly insignificant.

But for Xia Daoming, this year was a crucial year for him to enter the Three Realms True Immortal realm.

Over the course of a year, by recklessly absorbing the immortal energy from the immortal stones, he finally faintly touched upon the upper limit of the immortal power required to step into the Three Realms True Immortal realm.

But the immortal stones I have are about to run out!

"Strange, Xingyi wiped out several caves a year ago, so why hasn't anyone come looking for trouble yet? If someone comes to their death, I might as well rob them of their money..."

Xia Daoming stared at the jade box, which was gradually emptying, and muttered to himself, his eyes flickering.

That year, as his understanding of the various forces in Biyuan County deepened and his strength increased, he no longer had as many concerns as he had at the beginning.

Of course, Biyuan County is full of hidden talents, and some of these forces have connections to the Upper County. If they come to him, Xia Daoming would be happy to rob them of their wealth, but no matter how confident he is, he would not easily take the initiative to go to the county to show his skills and cause big trouble.

As he was muttering to himself, Xia Daoming's mind stirred, and he looked toward the palace gate.

The palace doors opened by themselves, and Xingyi led the weary Cui Baisong inside, where they bowed respectfully.

"What is it?" Xia Daoming raised an eyebrow.

"Reporting to Master Xia, this humble servant has obtained information about the True Fire of the Sun!" Cui Baisong said, bowing.

"The true fire of the sun?!" Xia Daoming's eyes gleamed. "Quickly, tell me, where is it?"

Cui Baisong hurriedly replied, "This humble servant was ordered by Lord Si Tu to travel to Yuntai County to search for traces of True Fire and True Water. On the way, I overheard two True Immortals talking about a demon immortal in Biya Ridge of Luochuan County, known as the Crimson Fire Crow Mother. She is at the level of a Third-Assembly True Immortal, but she relies on her ancestral True Fire of the Sun to destroy Fourth-Assembly and fight Fifth-Assembly, which is extremely terrifying! This humble servant dared not judge its authenticity lightly, but since it is a clue to the True Fire of the Sun, I rushed back to report."

After saying that, he looked at Xia Daoming uneasily, his expression both anxious and expectant.

"Good! This is a great achievement, I'll remember it!" Xia Daoming was in high spirits.

“However, that Crimson Fire Crow Mother is very powerful! Moreover, Luochuan County is not only a central county with many True Immortal experts, but it is also separated from Biyuan County by Yuntai County, which is far away. Even if you know this news, sir…” Cui Baisong was both happy and somewhat uneasy upon hearing this, and carefully reminded him, as if he was afraid that Xia Daoming would not know the implications.

"The True Fire of the Sun is of great use to me. Now that I have news of this fire, I must personally go to Luochuan County to meet the Crimson Fire Crow Mother." Xia Daoming waved his hand to interrupt Cui Baisong.

Xingyi and Cui Baisong were shocked to see that Xia Daoming, who clearly knew that the Crimson Fire Crow Mother had the terrifying strength to destroy a Four-Assembly True Immortal and fight a Five-Assembly True Immortal, still decided to go to Luochuan County to meet the Crimson Fire Crow Mother without hesitation.

"Is there any other information about the Crimson Raven Mother, such as her conduct and background?"

“Reporting to Lord Xia, those who discussed the Crimson Fire Crow Mother along the way were all True Immortals, and I didn’t dare to approach them to inquire further. Later, I specifically sought out people in Yuntai County to inquire, but the Crimson Fire Crow Mother was far away in Luochuan County, and with my cultivation level, the only people I could inquire with were some mid-level Nascent Soul cultivators. Their knowledge was limited, and they didn’t know anything about the Crimson Fire Crow Mother,” Cui Baisong replied, bowing.

"It's alright. I'll go to Luochuan County myself and find out then." Xia Daoming nodded slightly, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

　That concludes today's update.
