I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 663 Revisiting Biya Ridge

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

Xia Daoming stopped preaching, glanced at Zhu Qiluo who was in meditation, then gave some instructions to Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan before riding his Cloud Mane Leopard away from the Right Commandant's Mansion and heading towards Biyuan County.

Xia Daoming learned the true location of Nine Flame Mountain and was eager to go there immediately, but he also knew that the size of a single state in the Earthly Immortal Realm was far beyond his imagination. Moreover, the Earthly Immortal Realm had a special environment with great gravity and spatial resistance. Not to mention for True Immortals, even Golden Immortals would find it quite time-consuming and exhausting to cross a single state. Furthermore, there was Suiyuan State between Xuanyue State and Chijiang State, and he didn't know how many unexpected dangers he would encounter along the way. He had to make thorough preparations before going to Xuanyue State and could not rush things.

Biyuan County is located in the northern part of Chijiang Prefecture, while Suiyuan Prefecture and Xuanyue Prefecture are also located in the north of Chijiang Prefecture.

Xia Daoming then decided to go to Biyuan County first to resolve some potential problems, and then go into seclusion to cultivate the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Divine Weapon, while also trying to further improve his Qi Refining cultivation.

Water is much milder than fire.

The process of nurturing divine weapons begins with true water and then true fire. The interplay of yin and yang, the fusion of water and fire, the mutual support of yin and yang, and the correspondence between them, in a continuous cycle, is the most reliable approach.

Of course, one can use real fire first and then real water, but fire is fierce and volatile, making this method much more difficult.

What is not feasible is that the same element cannot be used continuously, either true fire or true water, as this would lack the balance and harmony of yin and yang.

Xia Daoming's first ten divine weapons form five groups of water and fire. If he can first cultivate a true water divine weapon, that would be the safest course of action.

Unfortunately, the Three Lights Divine Water was hidden in the powerful Chijiang Dragon Palace, which was guarded by a Golden Immortal.

Given Xia Daoming's current strength, it would be even more unwise to obtain the Three Lights Divine Water first and nurture a divine weapon.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Xia Daoming decided that he would rather spend more time and energy refining the Nine Heavens Profound Fire to nurture a divine weapon and improve his cultivation. In this way, whether he went to Xuan Yue Prefecture or sought the Three Lights Divine Water in the future, he would have more power to protect himself.

When he arrived, Xia Daoming was not in a hurry. He rode the Cloud Mane Leopard, traveling by day and resting by night, enjoying the scenery and customs of the Immortal Realm along the way.

However, it has been almost two years since he left Biyuan County, and Xia Daoming is somewhat worried about it, so he traveled day and night to return this time.

Fortunately, the Cloud Mane Leopard followed Xia Daoming and consumed not only dragon meat but also many immortal pills. Now it is completely different from before. Its four legs can run through the air like lightning, and its body is surrounded by rosy clouds and mist. It is majestic and has the demeanor of a celestial beast.

Traveling day and night for seven or eight days, you only need to rest once.

Less than a month later, Xia Daoming arrived in Luochuan County.

Biya Ridge is located in Luochuan County.

Remembering that it was thanks to the Azure Feather Fire Crow clan that they brought news of the Nine Heavens Profound Fire of Reincarnation Valley that they had made such a great gain on this trip, Xia Daoming decided to make a trip to Azure Crow Ridge halfway through the journey.

Returning to this place, Biya Ridge is quite different from what I remembered.

The peaks were ablaze with crimson light, and the True Fire Palace, bathed in the glow of the crimson flames, appeared even more magnificent.

The Fire Crow Clan is bustling with cultivators, clearly indicating a significant increase in their numbers in recent years.

Xia Daoming is now the revered lord of the Qingyu Fire Crow clan, and the clan's leaders naturally recognize him.

Upon seeing Xia Daoming arrive, he immediately stepped forward to greet him while sending a message to the Crimson Fire Crow Mother.

Soon, the Crimson Fire Crow's mother led the clan elders out of the True Fire Palace to greet them.

Upon entering the Palace of True Fire, one finds towering pillars of flame, and the hall ablaze with light.

Xia Daoming sat cross-legged atop the central crimson crystal fire pillar, flanked by the Crimson Fire Crow Mother and the clan elders.

Xia Daoming's gaze swept over the crowd, and his eyes revealed approval.

Back then, when he taught them, Crimson Fire Crow Mother was only at the Fourth Ascension Realm. Her son, Flame Feather, who now serves at the Jade Stream Temple, is only at the Second Ascension Realm. The rest are all at the First Ascension True Immortal or Void Immortal Realm.

Now, the Crimson Fire Crow Mother has reached the Fifth Realm, and the other elders present have also made breakthroughs.

"It seems you all have quite good talent, and you've been diligently cultivating yourselves all these years without ever slacking off," Xia Daoming praised. "We owe it all to your teachings and guidance, Master. Otherwise, we wouldn't have achieved what we have today!" Crimson Fire Crow Mother quickly replied humbly, her gaze towards Xia Daoming filled with gratitude and awe.

Her son naturally sent back messages regarding Xia Daoming's behind-the-scenes activities in Biyuan County.

Moreover, Crimson Fire Crow Mother clearly remembered that when he came to Azure Crow Ridge, he was only at the Third Stage of the Realm, but now, only a few years later, he has already reached the Sixth Stage.

Such a speed of cultivation is simply astonishing, far beyond her reach!
Xia Daoming smiled noncommittally, then said, "Your clan helped me find out about the Nine Heavens Profound Fire of Reincarnation Valley, which was a great service. So I made a special trip to your Jade Raven Ridge on my return."

"Congratulations, Master!" Upon hearing this, the Crimson Fire Crow Mother and the elders all showed expressions of joy and bowed to offer their congratulations.

More than a year ago, when Yan Ling was ordered to deliver the message about the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, they were very worried, fearing that the message would lead to great danger for Xia Daoming.

Fortunately, Xia Daoming returned safely, and their hearts were finally at ease.

As for the Nine Heavens Profound Fire and such, Crimson Fire Crow Mother and the elders dared not think too much about it.

After all, the Valley of Reincarnation is extremely dangerous, and this fire is extraordinary. How could one possibly obtain this fire simply by entering the valley?
However, after hearing Xia Daoming's words, everyone realized that he had actually succeeded in obtaining the Nine Heavens Profound Fire!

How could I not be pleasantly surprised?

"Besides the Nine Heavens Mystic Fire, I also obtained some other good things on this trip to the Valley of Reincarnation. You all deserve a reward for your meritorious work in gathering intelligence!" Xia Daoming said with a smile.

As they spoke, a brocade box flew toward the Crimson Fire Crow Mother, and several pill bottles flew toward the clan elders.

"Thank you so much for your generous reward, sir!" Everyone knelt on one knee and presented the flying gift with both hands.

The brocade box naturally contained the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit, while the pill bottle contained the immortal pills he had confiscated, which could help illusory immortals rebuild their true bodies and help low-level true immortals break through their realms.

"Taiyuan Rejuvenating Pill!"

"The Elixir of Rejuvenating Bones!"

"Heavenly Origin True Essence Pill!"

"Purple Profound Realm Breakthrough Pill!"

The elders, who were quite knowledgeable, opened the elixir bottle and, upon seeing the elixir inside, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they exclaimed in astonishment.

These are the elixirs they've always dreamed of, but unfortunately, they're extremely expensive, so they dare not even dream of them!
To my utter surprise, the master's casual gift was such a miraculous elixir!

Of all the people, only the Crimson Fire Crow Mother looked at the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit in the brocade box in her hand, feeling both surprised and confused.

To her delight, this celestial fruit was undoubtedly extraordinary; however, she was perplexed because, given her limited knowledge, she had no idea what this fruit was or what its effects were!

“Since you all recognize these elixirs, I won’t explain further. As for the elixir in your hand, Chi Huo, it is the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit from the Valley of Reincarnation!” Xia Daoming said.

"This, this is the legendary Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit that can directly help low-level True Immortals break through several realms and help mid-level True Immortals directly break through one realm!" Upon hearing this, Crimson Fire Crow Mother was stunned.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Fire and the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit are known to the Crimson Fire Crow Mother in the Valley of Reincarnation.

She never expected that Xia Daoming would not only pick the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit in the valley, but would also be so generous as to bestow such a divine fruit upon her!
"This fruit is too precious, this servant cannot accept it!" After a while, the Crimson Fire Crow Mother finally came to her senses and hurriedly knelt down.

"Without your information, this fruit would not exist! Besides, this fruit is mainly effective for low- to mid-level True Immortals, so it's not particularly valuable. Just take it." Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"It's not particularly valuable!" The Crimson Fire Crow Mother was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses again and said cautiously, "Then may I give this fruit to my son, Flame Feather? He is currently at the Third Assembly Realm. Perhaps if he takes this fruit, he can cross the threshold of the middle stage and become a Fifth Assembly True Immortal."

　That concludes today's update.
