I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 664 Returning to Jade Valley

"This is for you, take it yourself. Yan Ling is now working for me in Yujian, how could I possibly shortchange him?" Xia Daoming said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Fire Crow Mother was stunned for a moment, then her whole body trembled, and she hurriedly knelt down again to express her gratitude.

Xia Daoming smiled and casually gave away another storage ring.

This storage ring contains only ordinary cultivation resources, but in large quantities, enough to elevate the overall strength of the Azure Feather Fire Crow clan of Azure Crow Ridge to a new level.

Xia Daoming's foundation in the Immortal Realm is currently very shallow, so he needs to cultivate his subordinates with great effort.

He had just made a great harvest from this trip to the Valley of Reincarnation, with a lot of cultivation supplies that he didn't need. He decided to use some of them to train his men.

The Crimson Fire Raven Mother held the storage ring, and when she probed it with her divine sense, her hands holding the ring trembled uncontrollably.

Such a wealth of resources!
The industries accumulated by the Qingyu Fire Crow Clan over generations are nothing compared to these resources!

"Master, this, this..." Crimson Fire Crow Mother stammered, feeling extremely uneasy.

The Azure Feather Fire Crow clan really hasn't done much!
But the master gave so much more than I could ever ask for!
She felt unworthy of it!
Little did the Crimson Fire Crow Mother know that her master had harvested the wealth carried by hundreds of True Immortals in the Valley of Reincarnation, a large portion of whom were mid-level True Immortals, and even several of whom were high-level True Immortals.

What has been revealed so far is only a very small portion.

"Only by developing Biya Ridge properly can we better gather intelligence for me!" Xia Daoming waved his hand to interrupt.

"This servant will certainly not disappoint Master's high expectations!" Crimson Crow Mother knelt down and kowtowed, tears streaming down her face, deeply moved.
-
When the Crimson Fire Crow Mother was moved to tears, Zhu Qiluo, far away in the Right Commandant's Mansion of Shayan County, also shed tears.

She slowly rose to her feet, and a powerful aura emanated from her, causing the runes in the hall to appear and flicker incessantly.

It was clearly the aura of an eleventh-level true immortal.

The ninth to twelfth stage is the realm of high-level True Immortals.

Each breakthrough is far more difficult than the lower or middle levels.

Zhu Qiluo had already reached the peak of the Tenth Assembly a thousand years ago, but there was an unbreakable barrier between the Tenth Assembly and the Eleventh Assembly.

No matter how hard she tried, and even though she consumed countless elixirs and fruits, including the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit, she was always just a little short of it, and she could never take that step.

It wasn't until Xia Daoming, as a reward, specially taught her the Way of Fire.

The seemingly impenetrable barrier collapsed with a deafening roar.

She finally grasped the true meaning of the eleventh level and even glimpsed a trace of the mystery of the twelfth level.

Seven days after Xia Daoming left, she awoke from her meditation and was then faced with a tribulation.

The calamity ignited from within, threatening to burn away her soul, body, internal organs, and limbs.

However, she had already grasped the true meaning of the eleventh stage of the Dao from Xia Daoming, and being a person with a refined soul and a firm Dao heart, she ultimately survived the tribulation without any major dangers.

"Master is only at the sixth level of the Dao, but how come his understanding of the true meaning of the Dao of Fire is even more profound than that of the Ancestor, reaching the essence of the matter?" Wiping away her tears, Zhu Qiluo felt both doubt and endless awe.

"Congratulations, Fairy Zhu!" Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan, who were protecting her outside, sensed Zhu Qiluo's powerful aura and entered the hall together, their faces beaming with joy as they cupped their hands in congratulations.

"Thank you both for protecting me these past few days!" Zhu Qiluo bowed and thanked them, not daring to be arrogant or negligent.

She is currently only a servant of the master, while the two people in front of her are his fellow disciples and juniors.

Zhu Qiluo was perfectly clear about who held more or less importance in the master's heart.

"We're all on the same side, Fairy Zhu, there's no need to be so polite!"

"Has the master already left Shayan County?"

"The master left after you entered meditation."

"Did the master give any instructions before he left?"

"The master instructs you to closely monitor the movements of the Chijiang Dragon Palace and report any significant news immediately!" Zhu Qiluo was utterly shocked upon hearing this!

Chijiang Dragon Palace is far superior to Danxia Mountain in terms of both its own strength and background.

How could Zhu Qiluo not be alarmed that a mere immortal was required to keep a close watch on the movements of the Chijiang Dragon Palace?
"Very well, I will keep a close eye on and investigate the news about the Chijiang Dragon Palace!"

However, Zhu Qiluo's shock was quickly replaced by excitement!

This kind of master is a true prodigy!

That's why Zhu Qiluo is worthy of following her!

Zhu Qiluo did not stay in Shayan County for long. The next day, she rode a celestial eagle and soared through the sky, returning to Danxia Mountain in Qionghua County.

Upon returning to Danxia Mountain, Zhu Qiluo headed straight for the Old Ancestor's Cave at the back of the mountain.

"You've broken through! Good, good! As expected of the descendant I, Zhu Chixuan, have high hopes for!" Zhu Chixuan saw through Zhu Qiluo's cultivation level at a glance and said with a look of joy.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, I have not only broken through, but I have also glimpsed a trace of the mysteries of the Twelve True Immortals!" Zhu Qiluo said.

The Zhu family has more than just Zhu Qiluo as a prodigy.

They wouldn't place all their hopes for cultivating the Golden Immortal on Zhu Qiluo alone.

In fact, the Zhu family has at least ten prodigies like Zhu Qiluo.

Zhu Qiluo knew very well that if she wanted to stand out among the family's prodigies and gain more support from the family, she needed to show her abilities instead of hiding them.

"Is this really true!" Zhu Chixuan was deeply moved.

At this age, Zhu Qiluo has reached the eleventh level of cultivation. Among the Zhu family's outstanding young talents, she can only be considered mediocre.

However, if one has just entered the eleventh stage and already glimpsed a trace of the secrets of the twelfth stage, then it will be a completely different story!

This means her chances of becoming a Golden Immortal have greatly increased.

Seeing that the patriarch was moved, Zhu Qiluo felt secretly pleased, but even more so, she felt gratitude and awe towards Xia Daoming.

In fact, the Zhu family had good relations with several Golden Immortal factions. In order to better cultivate their descendants, the Zhu family patriarch would take turns opening altars and giving lectures with the Golden Immortals of those factions, allowing their respective outstanding disciples to come and listen to the teachings.

But the Dharma is not passed on to six ears, and the Way is not passed on to non-humans.

No matter who opens the altar to impart knowledge, they all have selfish motives and cherish their own knowledge. They will not sincerely pass on their knowledge. What they transmit are nothing more than some seemingly profound but actually false doctrines. The truly useful ones are only a few words hidden in them.

If you can understand and apply the knowledge to other situations, that's your skill; if you can't, you can't blame the Golden Immortal Ancestor.

After all, they are not his own children, so how could he possibly pass on the true Dao?
Xia Daoming, however, was different.

During those two days, what he taught directly pointed to the origin of the Fire Dao, and was as valuable as gold and silver. It instantly solved the problem that had puzzled Zhu Qiluo for many years, and allowed her to vaguely see a light that pointed directly to the Golden Immortal Path.

"How dare this junior deceive the ancestor!" Zhu Qiluo bowed and said.

"Alright, then I'll test you!" Zhu Chixuan said seriously.

Then Zhu Chixuan and Zhu Qiluo began to discuss the Dao of Fire.

Regardless of what he didn't know, in this discussion, Zhu Chixuan not only discovered that Zhu Qiluo had indeed glimpsed a trace of the secrets of the Twelve True Immortals, but also that her understanding of the Dao of Fire had even given him some inspiration.

The next day.

News has spread from the back of Danxia Mountain that Zhu Qiluo has been designated as the direct successor to the patriarch's mantle.

This means that although Zhu Qiluo is several generations removed from the ancestor in terms of bloodline, she is his disciple in terms of status. The family's resources should be given top priority to Zhu Qiluo, and all efforts should be made to help her embark on the path to becoming a Golden Immortal.
-
Just as Zhu Qiluo gained the favor of the patriarch and rose to a higher position in the family, Xia Daoming arrived at Yujianqi after a long and arduous journey.

　That concludes today's update.
