I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 641 Entering Qionghua County

Yansha County is an oasis nestled in the boundless desert.

At the summit of a misty, ethereal mountain in the west of the city lies the Right Commandant's Mansion of Ji Wufeng.

As soon as Xia Daoming returned to his residence, he immediately went into seclusion to refine the Six Ding Divine Fire and began to nurture the tenth divine weapon.

After settling Xia Daoming in, Ji Wufeng took the corpse of the Blood Demon to the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner's Office to report his success and request credit.

Soon after, Ji Wufeng returned to the manor.

"Brother Ji, you have rendered a great service this time. The Inspector General will surely reward you handsomely, won't he?" Rong Yuan greeted him with a smile upon his return.

Ji Wufeng shook his head, his expression grim: "Not only was there no reward, but I was also reprimanded for abandoning my post."

"That Bloodthirsty Demon committed such a heinous crime, and you risked your life to lead people to capture him. You were simply fulfilling your duty. How can you be charged with dereliction of duty? This is outrageous!" Rong Yuan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Ji Wufeng's eyes were cold and sharp as he said in a low voice, "Actually, I had long expected this day to come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

"What do you mean?" Rong Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Ji Wufeng raised his hand to gesture for Rong Yuan to sit down. The two sat facing each other before he slowly spoke: "We are all ascended from the lower realm. In the eyes of the native Earth Immortal Realm, we are ultimately outsiders."

At first, they wanted to use our strength to serve them and to help them achieve success, so we tried our best to win them over and cultivate them.

But once our cultivation level increases and our merits become greater, threatening their position, they will inevitably try to suppress us.

You are currently only a patrol officer, with a cultivation level of seven stages. There are still the left and right judges between you and the City God, so you cannot threaten the City God's position yet. Therefore, you cannot sense it for the time being.

But I am different. I am not only a Right Commandant, but my cultivation has also reached the Eighth Stage, just one step away from the Ninth Stage. The Inspector General already harbored some wariness and fear towards me.

With the master's help, I killed the infamous Bloodthirsty Demon. His guard has been raised, which is why he didn't hesitate to break off relations and use this opportunity to suppress and warn me!

"I see!" Rong Yuan nodded in understanding, but then sneered, "The Inspector General is probably secretly pleased with himself right now, having ruthlessly suppressed you and made you understand that you would have no future without him. It's just a pity that his cleverness has backfired!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wufeng coldly smiled and said, "That's right. If I hadn't met the master, who took advantage of my coming from the lower realm and having no backing, and was helpless against me, forcibly embezzling my merits and withholding the Heavenly Court's rewards from me, I'm afraid my cultivation would have been delayed, and I would have been suppressed by him for a long time."

With the Master around, why worry about a lack of cultivation resources, or about not being able to glimpse deeper into the Great Dao? Not to mention that the position of a high-level True Immortal is guaranteed, even the once unattainable position of Golden Immortal is not impossible to attain as long as one follows in the Master's footsteps.

"Hmph, if the Inspector General hadn't deliberately suppressed me, I might have still held onto some old friendships. But with today's unclear rewards and punishments, and the inability to distinguish right from wrong, this camaraderie between colleagues ends today!"

"Brother Ji is absolutely right. The elixir bestowed upon you by the Master for suppressing the Blood Prison Scholar is enough to significantly boost your cultivation. Once the Master emerges from seclusion and offers further guidance, you will likely reach the Ninth Ascension Realm and join the ranks of high-level True Immortals in no time. At that time, not only will the Inspector General be unable to suppress you, but even the City God will not dare to do so!" Rong Yuan said.

"Our reunion with you, sir, is an incredible stroke of luck for both of us, and we should cherish it!" Ji Wufeng said in a deep voice.

Rongyuan nodded emphatically.
-
Xia Daoming, who was in seclusion, was completely unaware of the turmoil outside.

He devoted himself to refining the Six Ding Divine Fire in seclusion, nurturing the tenth divine weapon.

Three months later.

After Xia Daoming left the pass, he gave some instructions to Ji Wufeng and then quietly went alone to the remote Crimson Flame Desert to undergo the tribulation of the divine weapon.

a few days later.

Xia Daoming returned to the Right Commandant's residence. At this time, Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan were already waiting respectfully.

Xia Daoming patiently taught them and answered their questions.

The two had made meritorious contributions in their early years and were often rewarded by the Heavenly Court with opportunities to listen to the teachings.

However, as their cultivation level increases, especially after entering the mid-level True Immortal realm, their opportunities to listen to the Dao become increasingly rare.

After Ji Wufeng entered the Eighth Realm, unless he accumulated great merit, he would have no opportunity to listen to the profound Dao in the Earthly Immortal Realm, where he had no teacher or mentor.

Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan are both considered exceptionally talented in the Earthly Immortal Realm, but they are not quite gifted beyond measure, far beyond what ordinary people can compare to. Without the opportunity to listen to the profound Dao, they would find it extremely difficult to go far on the path of cultivation.

Reaching the advanced True Immortal realm is considered the pinnacle of one's abilities.

Xia Daoming, however, was completely different. He opened up the boundless sea of ​​blood, built the Crimson Palace with the essence of the four divine beasts, nurtured divine weapons with ancient true fire and true water, and unintentionally revived the withered tree of the innate fire parasol tree. He also opened the passage between heaven, earth, and man and opened the Purple Mansion. Even though his cultivation level is only at the Fourth Assembly Realm, he can understand the profound Dao without a teacher.

This is a genius beyond compare!

Now that Xia Daoming has arrived, he has just solved the problem that Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan are currently facing: no one to teach them or enlighten them.

a few days later.

Xia Daoming went into seclusion again.

Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan followed suit, summoned their subordinates and gave them instructions before going into seclusion to study the teachings of Xia Daoming.

Six months later, Xia Daoming emerged from seclusion again, leaving behind some instructions before riding his Cloud Mane Leopard alone from Yansha County, heading straight for Qionghua Upper County.

A few days later, he entered the territory of Qionghua Shangjun.

Standing atop the majestic mountain, one can gaze into the distance and behold the magnificent landscape and the vast expanse of land.

When he set off from Biyuan County, he was only a Four-Assembly True Immortal, a Nine-Level Divine Weapon, and an Eleventh-Level Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body.

In less than a year and a half, he has already become a True Immortal of the Fifth Assembly, possessed ten layers of divine weapons, and reached the twelfth level of the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body.

With his cultivation level soaring and his combat power surging, Xia Daoming couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and even greater anticipation for his trip to the Valley of Reincarnation.
-
Qionghua Upper County was indeed quite different from the middle and lower counties such as Biyuan, Luochuan, and Yansha.

At first, Xia Daoming didn't feel much, but after a few days, as he went deeper into Qionghua Shangjun, he gradually felt that the power of heaven and earth was obviously heavy. Some immortal mountains where immortal sects or families were located had immortal energy surrounding the mountaintops, which was like a rolling sea of ​​clouds.

Xia Daoming only needed to observe such a place from afar to know that it must be a treasure land for cultivating immortality. One day of cultivation there is enough to be equivalent to several days or even dozens of days in other places.

Moreover, the powerful cultivators they encountered along the way were far superior to those in lower-level counties like Biyuan.

Although I have not yet encountered a Golden Immortal, mid-to-high-level True Immortals, who are rare in the lower and middle counties, are not uncommon in the upper county of Qionghua.

One day, Xia Daoming was walking through a valley when suddenly the sky darkened.

He looked up and saw a black eagle with wingspans of hundreds of feet flying overhead. With a flap of its wings, a hurricane rolled and the valley shook. It was a demon immortal at the twelfth level of cultivation.

　That concludes today's update.
