I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 681 Suiyuan Prefecture

"So that's how it is! The Chijiang Dragon Palace is a branch of the Hanyuan Sea Dragon Palace. Speaking of which, I have a grudge against them. Sooner or later, I will destroy them!" Xia Daoming nodded, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

For a mere True Immortal to claim that he would destroy the Chijiang Dragon Palace, which is guarded by Golden Immortals and has countless experts under his command, is simply the height of arrogance. If anyone else had said this, it would have been considered extremely presumptuous.

But when Xia Daoming spoke, Tong Li and the other two believed him without a doubt, and looked at him with nothing but awe!
"By the way, Daoming, tell me about your situation. Do you have any news about other fellow disciples?" Zhongli Shuyun asked.

Xia Daoming briefly mentioned what he could say, including Xingyi, Ji Wufeng, and Rongyuan.

Although there was no news of Yue Huang and the others, the three were still delighted to hear news of their three old friends.

"What are their current cultivation levels?" Zhongli Shuyun asked curiously.

“Xingyi is the fifth gathering, Jiwufeng is the ninth gathering, and Rongyuan is the eighth gathering,” Xia Daoming replied.

"Those three are really lucky, they've all already reached the mid-to-high level True Immortal realm!" Zhongli Shuyun and the other two were both happy and envious upon hearing this.

In fact, the three of them were the direct descendants of the Qingyuan Sect. They received special training in the lower realm back then. Although they were behind the three at the beginning, their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds and they were no less than the three.

Especially since Xingyi only managed to transcend her tribulation after sacrificing herself, and Rongyuan also transcended her tribulation by sacrificing herself, their conditions for ascension were not as good as theirs.

Unlike the three women, who all ascended to immortality through physical means.

Moreover, the three of them possessed alchemy and weapon crafting skills, enabling them to be self-reliant upon arriving in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Compared to many lower-realm cultivators who ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm, their starting point was considerably higher.

In fact, in just over three thousand years, Zhongli Shuyun has reached the sixth level of the Immortal Realm, Tong Li has reached the fifth level, and Luo Mu has reached the fourth level. Compared to other cultivators from the lower realms who have ascended to the Immortal Realm, this speed is already extremely astonishing.

This is not only related to their exceptional talent, but also largely because they can earn a continuous stream of cultivation resources through their alchemy and weapon crafting skills.

Unexpectedly, Ji Wufeng and his two companions made even more astonishing progress than they did!

"The three of them have indeed had great opportunities, especially Ji Wufeng and Rong Yuan, who have had several great opportunities, so their cultivation has made several major breakthroughs."

"But you are all very impressive. Relying on your own abilities, you have not only established a firm foothold in the Earthly Immortal Realm, but also cultivated to this level in just over three thousand years." Xia Daoming could see the subtle thoughts in the three of them and said with a smile.

"Senior Brother, stop praising us. Back in the lower realm, we couldn't even come close to you. Now the gap is even bigger!" Tong Li naturally understood Xia Daoming's intentions and gave him a sidelong glance with a smile.

"Haha, I was just lucky!" Xia Daoming laughed, then flipped his hand and took out three Reincarnation Vermilion Fruits.

"What is this?" The three of them asked in surprise, their eyes lighting up at the extraordinary appearance of the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit.

"This fruit is called the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit. If Luo Mu takes it, he should be able to directly step into the mid-stage True Immortal realm. As for you two, Aunt and Senior Sister Tong, if you take it, you should be able to break through your current realm."

"Anyway, it will take some time to reach Cangzhe County. You can take advantage of this time to consume this fruit and break through your cultivation level," Xia Daoming explained.

"What? You can break through your current realm directly!" Upon hearing this, all three of them widened their eyes, their faces showing disbelief.

The three of them each possessed a skill that provided them with considerable income and wealth, but such a rare fruit was still far beyond their means to purchase.

“That’s right!” Xia Daoming smiled and nodded, handing the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit to the three of them.

"This is too precious!" Zhongli Shuyun and the other two looked at the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit offered to them and hesitated to accept it. "We're all family, what's so precious about it? The most important thing now is to improve your cultivation as soon as possible so that our Qingyuan Sect can truly establish itself in the Immortal Realm. Only then can our scattered disciples reunite soon and stop being bullied."

With the vast Qingyuan Sect developing, and searching for our fellow disciples, as core disciples of the Qingyuan Sect, you wouldn't want to place all the burden on my shoulders alone, would you?
"Furthermore, as you just saw, I looted the entire wealth of the Third Prince's residence in the Chijiang Dragon Palace. Although this Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit is rare and precious, it cannot compare to the treasures of the Third Prince's residence," Xia Daoming said.

"In that case, thank you very much, Elder!" Zhongli Shuyun and the other two bowed slightly and accepted the Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit.
-
A month later.

A celestial boat flew to Cangzhe County.

Yanling and his three companions were already waiting in Cangzhe County.

After the two groups met in the county town, Xia Daoming did not linger but set off that same day to fly away from Cangzhe County.

Yan Ling and his three companions remained in charge of operating the immortal ship and conducting reconnaissance missions, while Xia Daoming and his three companions simply focused on cultivating in the ship each day.

The Third Prince of Chijiang Dragon Palace is able to oversee the vast Chijiang River region outside the city. His status, position, strength, and wealth are unmatched by any other prince of Chijiang Dragon Palace.

These past few days, Xia Daoming took stock of his gains. Even though he had the experience of making a fortune in the Reincarnation Valley, he was still taken aback.

Aside from the absence of extremely rare immortal herbs like the Nine Heavens Mystic Grass, the harvest from this trip was far greater than that from the Valley of Reincarnation.

In particular, dragons place greater emphasis on strengthening their qi and physique compared to humans.

The Crown Prince's residence contains many high-quality natural treasures that can enhance one's health and physical strength.

In the path of Qi Refining, Xia Daoming no longer needs to take elixirs or spiritual medicines. He only needs to hold a high-grade immortal stone every day and continuously absorb the pure immortal power from it.

However, in the path of body refinement, one still needs to consume large amounts of rare and precious natural materials every day to enhance qi, blood, and physical strength, so as to continuously strengthen the boundless blood sea and the power of divine weapons.

The rare and precious materials collected in the Crown Prince's palace are just what he needs.

Of course, the most suitable thing for him to strengthen his blood and body was the blood of the half-ancestral dragon and the essence of the true dragon contained in the dragon corpse he took before he left.

However, since they were still within the territory of Chijiang Prefecture, Xia Daoming dared not easily take out those dragon corpses to refine the two types of dragon blood using the Wenwu Fire.

With things being tense right now, it would be troublesome if the process of refining were to leak information and be detected.

However, Xia Daoming had just broken through to the thirteenth level of the Ancestral Dragon Body not long ago, so he was not in a hurry to break through now. He would first use other natural treasures to replenish qi and blood to slowly strengthen his physique, and then take half of the Ancestral Dragon Blood and True Dragon Essence Blood when the time came.

The journey is long, and time flies.

Xia Daoming and his three companions spent their days cultivating on the boat, occasionally stopping in county towns along the way. Before they knew it, another three years had passed.

On this day, after more than six years, Xia Daoming and his group finally flew across the territory of Chijiang Prefecture and entered the territory of Suiyuan Prefecture.

After crossing Suiyuan Prefecture, one arrives at Xuanyue Prefecture.

　That concludes today's update.
