I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 687 Familiar Aura
Yue Huang was already exceptionally talented, and he had honed his skills at the Eleventh Realm for over a thousand years. However, he suffered from a lack of guidance on the true meaning of the Golden Immortal realm, and it was as if he was groping in the dark, unable to find the right path.

Xia Daoming had already opened his Purple Mansion, and his divine consciousness in the Purple Mansion could use the Fire Phoenix Tree as a bridge to communicate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Over the years, his understanding of the Great Dao has deepened day and night, far surpassing that of a Golden Immortal who had just attained the Great Dao and whose golden body was just beginning to form.

However, his cultivation period was too short. Even though he absorbed the immortal power from the immortal stones day and night, it was still far from enough to reach the Golden Immortal level, which is why he failed to enter the Golden Immortal realm.

However, the Dao he comprehended was indeed beyond what a Golden Immortal in the Condensation Realm could achieve.

With his meticulous instruction, Yue Huang soon felt the gate to the vast world of Golden Immortals slowly opening towards him, and a ray of light shone in through the slowly opening crack, dispelling the darkness that had been shrouding him.

In just a few days, Yue Huang felt as if he had been enlightened, his mind was clear and his body felt comfortable, and his cultivation level improved without him even realizing it.

He is now fully confident that if he has another one or two thousand years to accumulate enough immortal power, he will be able to enter the Twelfth Ascension Realm.

If one has good cultivation resources, perhaps several hundred years would be enough.

Because he had already comprehended the Dao, his physique was strong enough to withstand powerful immortal energy.

All that's missing now is the accumulation of immortal power!
Just as Yue Huang was immersed in the Great Dao, confident that as long as he accumulated enough immortal power, he would be able to step into the Twelfth Assembly Realm, Xia Daoming quietly stopped teaching him the Dao.

Haste makes waste, and excess leads to deficiency.

Yue Huang, after all, did not open up the Purple Mansion, nor the Crimson Palace, nor the Fire Phoenix Tree.

In just a few days, Xia Daoming had already imparted too many profound principles to him.

At his level, it's very difficult to directly cross the Twelve Realms of True Immortals and truly comprehend the secrets of Golden Immortals. It's already rare enough to be able to glimpse and comprehend even a little bit of the secrets of Golden Immortals.

Yue Huang stood up and bowed to him solemnly.

"Master Uncle, you mustn't, you mustn't!"

Xia Daoming quickly stopped him.

“Learning knows no order of precedence; the accomplished are teachers. In fact, apart from the beginning when we old guys could offer you some guidance, it was actually you who cultivated and guided us afterward. In a sense, you should be the teacher, and we should be the disciples and juniors.” Yue Huang said with great emotion when he saw Xia Daoming’s obstruction and did not insist on bowing.

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me!" Xia Daoming waved his hands repeatedly.

"You!" Yue Huang smiled and pointed at Xia Daoming, then said seriously, "I've heard all the truths I needed to hear. If I listen any more, I won't be able to understand them. Tomorrow I will transfer the Immortal Inn and set off for Langming County in Suiyuan Prefecture."

"Uncle-Master, there's no rush. I have some good things here that might help you reach the Twelfth Ascension Realm before returning to Langming County," Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"What!" Yue Huang was shocked upon hearing this, almost unable to believe his ears.

After comprehending the Great Dao, he was mentally prepared to cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Twelfth Assembly Realm within a thousand years, or at the very least, within two thousand years.

But now, Xia Daoming actually said that he might be able to help him reach the Twelfth Assembly Realm before returning to Langming County. How could this not shock Yue Huang to the extreme?

Xia Daoming smiled slightly as he looked at Yue Huang's discomposure, then took out a Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit, as well as some other excellent elixirs and medicines suitable for directly enhancing immortal power, which he had obtained from the Third Prince's Palace and other talented disciples such as Tuoba Gang.

"The Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit!"

"Taihua Immortal Herb!"

"The Elixir of Ascension to True Immortality!"

"The Supreme Purity True Essence Pill!"

"..."

Yue Huang, being an eleventh-level True Immortal, naturally possessed knowledge far surpassing that of Zhongli Shuyun and the others. Upon seeing the items Xia Daoming handed him, he once again lost his composure, exclaiming repeatedly in surprise. The Reincarnation Vermilion Fruit and the Taihua Immortal Mushroom, in particular, were extremely precious and rare.

One type has the effect of breaking through bottlenecks even for high-level True Immortals.

One type is so potent that a single plant can be equivalent to hundreds of years of arduous cultivation by an eleventh-level immortal, and its medicinal properties are relatively mild with few side effects.

Speaking of which, this Taihua Immortal Herb is a rare and precious medicine that one of the four water generals under the Third Prince has treasured for many years.

He originally planned to take it at the crucial moment when he was trying to break through to the Twelfth Ascension True Immortal realm.

As a result, after treasuring it for many years and being reluctant to use it, it ended up benefiting someone else.

"Senior Uncle, strike while the iron is hot! Although the chances of reaching the Twelfth Ascension True Immortal realm in one go are slim, we should still give it a try!" Xia Daoming said.

Yue Huang then seemed to wake from a dream and said seriously, "You're only at the Ninth Stage now, you'll definitely need to use these in the future..."

“Uncle-Master, my path is different from yours. In the path of Qi Refining, I don’t need to rely on elixirs or medicines; all I need is enough high-grade immortal stones,” Xia Daoming interrupted.

"Really?" Yue Huang blurted out.

"Of course it's true. When I first arrived in the Earthly Immortal Realm, I had only just stepped into the True Immortal Realm. Now, in less than a hundred years, I am only half a step away from the Tenth Assembly. If I were to take more elixirs and medicines to forcibly improve my cultivation, it would not be a good thing for me."

"It's better to just absorb the pure immortal energy from the immortal stones. Anyway, my meridians and physique are strong, so absorbing a lot every day won't cause any problems. On the contrary, it will make my foundation even more solid," Xia Daoming explained.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t stand on ceremony with you, Uncle-Master! Otherwise, the gap will only widen, and I’ll really be useless as your Uncle-Master,” Yue Huang said.

After saying that, Yue Huang accepted the elixir and medicine.
-
Three months later.

A celestial vessel flew away from Yanyang County.

On the fairy boat, Yue Huang looked back at the gradually shrinking county town, his heart filled with emotion.

Each higher level is difficult to surpass.

It has been decades since Xia Daoming entered the Ninth Stage of the Daoist Realm, but he has not yet entered the Tenth Stage.

The Twelve Ascensions Realm is the final threshold before the Golden Immortal Realm, and it is extremely difficult to cross.

Therefore, even though Yue Huang had a great opportunity this time, in just three months, he still could not cross the chasm between the eleventh and twelfth levels of the realm.

However, Yue Huang knew very well that with this great opportunity, entering the Twelve Assemblies Realm was only a matter of a few years.

As Yue Huang looked back at the city, in the southern part of Yanyang County, a man in a blue robe stood at the foot of the mountain, his golden eyes flashing, looking up at the towering Lieyao Mountain.

"The immortal energy is pure and rich, and the fire elemental power is abundant. It truly lives up to its reputation as the mountain gate of the powerful Flame Sparrow Demon Clan of Xuan Yue Prefecture!" Xia Daoming thought to himself with admiration.

Just then, the Fire Phoenix Tree suddenly burst into flames, its branches and leaves swaying, and the sound of the Dao resounded throughout the entire Crimson Palace.

"What's going on?" Xia Daoming's expression changed slightly.

Unless there are special circumstances, the Fire Phoenix Tree, nourished by the boundless sea of ​​blood, grows quietly and would never cause such a commotion.

"Master, I sense a very familiar and comforting aura." Huo Wutong's long-lost voice rang in Xia Daoming's mind, filled with excitement.

　That concludes today's update.
