I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 695 Langming County

Xiao Hongyi naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with Xia Daoming, but when he scanned his storage ring with his divine sense, he couldn't help but shudder, his eyes glazed over for a long time before he gradually recovered.

"Thank you, Daoming!" Xiao Hongyi patted Xia Daoming's shoulder heavily.

"Why are you being so polite with me, sir!" Xia Daoming said with a smile.

Xiao Hongyi smiled, then sat cross-legged and began to take medicine and cultivate.

Over the years, he has been doing the arduous task of supplying fire, which has greatly depleted his immortal power, and he urgently needs immortal pills and medicines to replenish and enhance it.

At this moment, a red light shone on Xia Daoming's chest, and True Lord Lihuang slowly walked out, bowed slightly to him, and then stood at the stern of the boat, looking around to observe the surroundings.

Xia Daoming, like Xiao Hongyi, sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.

The harvest from Mount Lieyao this time far exceeded his expectations!

The gains from Reincarnation Valley and the Third Prince's Palace of Chijiang Dragon Palace are insignificant compared to this.

This harvest is crucial for the transformation and growth of the fire sycamore.

The transformation and growth of Huo Wutong are closely related to the transformation and growth of Xia Daoming.

Through various fortuitous encounters in the Xuanhuan Realm, the withered tree sprouted tender leaves and roots, eventually becoming a sapling.

This is the first transformation and growth of the Fire Phoenix Tree.

This time, the fire sycamore finally grew from a sapling into a towering tree.

This is its second transformation and growth.

Its second transformation and growth has brought tremendous changes to Xia Daoming's physical health, physique, and the Crimson Palace Divine Weapon.

The Crimson Palace Divine Weapons are still missing one final type of true water; no matter how they change, they still cannot break through to a higher realm.

However, in the path of Qi Refining, Xia Daoming had already stepped halfway into the Tenth Stage. If he were to take advantage of the Fire Phoenix Tree's opportunity for growth and transformation, once he touched it, it would inevitably lead to a tribulation.

Therefore, Xia Daoming had been suppressing it, even severing the connection between the human and the earth, to prevent the life force of the fire source absorbed by the Fire Phoenix Tree from flowing into the Yellow Court, for fear of triggering a calamity and being unable to truly conceal the leakage of his inner energy, which would be noticed by the Golden Immortal of Lieyao Mountain.

Now that he is far away from Lieyao Mountain, Xia Daoming naturally has no more scruples.

Sitting cross-legged, the mystical pivot of heaven, earth, and humanity is fully opened.

The mysterious vitality that the Fire Phoenix Tree draws from the world of ancient trees fills the Crimson Palace world, flowing back and forth in the Purple Palace, Crimson Palace, and Yellow Court, following the mysterious pivot of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The ancient tree is a branch from the innate Fire Phoenix Tree. The Flame Sparrow Demon Clan of Lieyao Mountain has prospered for generations because of this branch, with many Golden Immortals emerging from it.

Now, almost all the fire-source vitality in this branch has been absorbed by the Fire Phoenix Tree. One can imagine how surging the mysterious vitality released by the Fire Phoenix Tree is now.

Moreover, even more profound Daoist sounds resounded in the Crimson Palace, echoing through the Mysterious Pivot of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and reverberating in the Purple Palace and Yellow Court.

While the Purple Mansion showed little change, the primordial spirit seated in the Yellow Court was undergoing changes at a visible speed.

Not only did it grow taller and more solid, but it was also surrounded by immortal energy, and its eyes revealed a wisdom that could see through the mysteries of heaven and earth.

The celestial ship had only been flying for half a day when it quietly came to rest in a desolate valley.

After staying in the desolate valley for a day, the fairy boat took off again.

At this time, Xia Daoming had already passed the tribulation and become a Tenth-Rank True Immortal.

Fifteen years later.

A celestial vessel appeared in Langming County, Suiyuan Prefecture.

"Finally, I'm back in Langming County!" Standing at the bow of the boat, Xiao Hongyi looked down at the familiar land and was filled with emotion. Back then, when he left Langming County, he was still lost and didn't know when he would be able to comprehend the true meaning of the Twelve Assemblies of True Immortals and thus have the opportunity to step into the Twelve Assemblies realm.

Now, decades later, when he returned to Langming County, he was not only a True Immortal of the Twelfth Assembly, but also had a solid foundation and powerful immortal energy. He was even comparable to the Protector Shuoting who was stationed at the mountain pass back then.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongyi subconsciously looked at Xia Daoming beside him.

Over the past fifteen years, Xia Daoming not only gave him many excellent elixirs and medicines, and patiently taught him the Dao, but also generously released the fire energy and mysterious vitality of the Fire Phoenix Tree every now and then to nourish and temper his body and help him comprehend the Dao of Fire.

After the Fire Phoenix Tree grew into a towering giant tree, Xia Daoming reached another level in his understanding of the true meaning of the Fire Dao.

In terms of mastering the true meaning of fire, even the Flame Sparrow Clan's patriarch, Chi Que, is far inferior to him.

He personally and meticulously taught and answered Xiao Hongyi's questions. One can imagine what a great opportunity this was for him!
Moreover, the fiery aura and mysterious vitality of the Fire Phoenix Tree released by Xia Daoming were far superior to that ancient tree at the bottom of Guangfeng Mountain!

With these three approaches combined, Xiao Hongyi found that these fifteen years were equivalent to thousands of years of arduous cultivation!

Of course, this was because Xia Daoming had always respected Xiao Hongyi.

If it were any other disciple, Xia Daoming would not have gone to such great lengths, even at the cost of expending the firepower and mystical life force of the Fire Phoenix Tree to help.

"Daoming, Langming County is just ahead. I wonder how your senior uncle and the others are doing now?" Xiao Hongyi said, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Xia Daoming's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are all safe and sound!"

"This place is still far from the city, how can you sense them?" Xiao Hongyi looked shocked upon hearing this.

Xia Daoming nodded slightly.

In just fifteen years, as the Fire Phoenix Tree grew into a towering giant, the Purple Mansion gained many more wisps of purple energy.

The purple aura gathered together, and a blurry face that somewhat resembled his could be vaguely seen in it.

As his Purple Mansion changed, the range of his divine sense that could probe was much larger than before.

Langming is just a lower prefecture with limited territory and thin immortal energy. The divine sense of the Purple Mansion can easily pass through layers of void and sense the aura of Yue Huang and others.

"You are truly unfathomable, so incredibly profound!" Xiao Hongyi exclaimed repeatedly after a while.

Xia Daoming smiled upon hearing this, and was about to say a few words of modesty when he suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There are people fighting about eight hundred miles to the right front. The strength of both sides is not low. They are both mid-to-high-level True Immortals."

“Eight hundred miles to the right front is the territory of the Azure Buzzard Demon. How dare anyone cause trouble on her territory?” Xiao Hongyi looked surprised upon hearing this.

"Is that Cangzhuo Demon very powerful?" Xia Daoming asked.

"She's not that powerful, only at the tenth level of the cultivation realm, but she has some blood relation to the Azure Feather Eagle King of the neighboring Fengche County."

The Azure Feather Eagle King was a True Immortal of the Twelve Assemblies, possessing immense power. Relying on the Azure Feather Eagle King's connection, the Azure Hawk Demon was arrogant and domineering in Langming County, showing little regard for even Xiao Xuan and Lu Ziying.

"Xiao Xuan and Zi Ying were wary of the Azure Feather Eagle King. Although they wanted to get rid of her, they could only endure it and did not send troops to attack her," Xiao Hongyi explained.

"I see. Let's go take a look then," Xia Daoming said.

With that, the fairy boat changed direction and flew towards the right front.

Before long, several mountain ranges appeared ahead, towering into the clouds with steep cliffs and extremely strong mountain winds.

In mid-air, five True Immortals were fighting around a tall and robust woman.

　That concludes today's update.
