Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

“I’ve been to the outer void once, and it’s much more dangerous than the Xuan Chen Realm.”

“You are only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and your strength is still too weak. I do not want you to venture into the outer void.”

“A great war will inevitably break out between the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture and Qianyuan Prefecture. Once the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture are completely wiped out, I will go with you to the six major towns to seek opportunities,” Lu Cheng’an said solemnly.

"Don't worry, my husband, I won't put myself in danger just to improve my cultivation!"

Shi Ningyu chuckled softly and said, "However, after I finish refining the remaining Fire Deer Pills, I still want to travel around and see what the Xuan Chen Realm is like!"

"That's certainly possible, but you must be careful."

"Before you leave, I will forge a few secret treasures for your self-defense," Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an wanted to refine two main types of secret treasures. One of them was the Teleportation Bead, which he refined based on his spatial folding supernatural power.

Of course, the teleportation bead can't teleport as fast as he can with his supernatural powers, but it should still be able to teleport 200,000 miles at a time.

This surpasses that of many cultivators who have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

Shi Ningyu currently only has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so she should not encounter any cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

Another secret treasure is the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl, which Lu Cheng'an deduced based on his own cultivation of the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal.

According to his deduction, the power of the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire released by the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl is stronger than that of his Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal.

If a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm is unprepared, they will also be severely injured by the power released by the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl.

Lu Cheng'an has successfully deduced the two secret treasures, but he has not yet refined them. He is very confident that he can refine these two secret treasures.

Shi Ningyu will not leave for the time being. After Lu Chengan made arrangements with Shi Ningyu, he left Shi Ningyu's cave and summoned Lu Chengzhuo and other Nascent Soul cultivators to the council hall for a meeting.

Lu Chengzhuo and the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family are also busy. After Lu Jingkun completed the construction of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array, he still needs to spend a lot of energy on the subsequent arrangement of the mountain gate.

Lu Chengzhuo and other cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages are currently busy with these matters.

They spent a lot of time on this. Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators are not slow at doing these things, and now they have basically completed the construction.

Lu Cheng'an summoned Lu Chengzhuo and the others to the council hall not for these matters, but for the affairs of the immortal cultivation sects in the Demon-Slaying Land.

"The protective array around the family's mountain gate is complete. I'm preparing to summon cultivators from the True Water Sect and other Nascent Soul sects..."

"Chengzhuo, I'm leaving these matters to you. Make sure the cultivators from the True Water Sect and other Nascent Soul sects arrive in five days," Lu Chengan said very seriously.

Lu Cheng'an summoned cultivators from the True Water Sect and other Nascent Soul sects for two main reasons: first, to declare the Lu family's status in the Demon-Slaying Land; and second, to have cultivators from the True Water Sect and other Nascent Soul sects contribute their talents so that the Lu family could begin mining the various mineral deposits in the Demon-Slaying Land.

The land of demon-slaying has abundant mineral resources, including two fifth-tier spirit mines, eleven fourth-tier spirit mines, thirty-two and thirty-three-tier spirit mines, forty-eight second-tier spirit mines, and seventy-nine first-tier spirit mines.

After Lu Jingkun used the purification magic array to convert all the demonic veins in the Demon-Slaying Land into spiritual veins, he instructed Lu Chengzhuo and other Nascent Soul cultivators to use these two purification magic arrays to convert the demonic ores.

Over the years, all the first, second, and third-tier magic mines have been converted, and half of the eleven fourth-tier magic mines have been converted. Only the two fifth-tier magic mines have not yet been converted.

While some physically strong mortals can mine first and second-tier ore, once the quality of spirit ore reaches the third tier, it is no longer something that low-level cultivators can mine.

In addition to being more difficult to mine, spirit ores of the third rank and above are also filled with all sorts of harmful substances.

Even cultivators at the Qi Refining stage cannot withstand such harmful substances for long periods of time. They need to take pills every now and then or meditate on their own to expel these harmful substances from their bodies.

Ordinary people simply cannot do this; if they stayed in a spirit mine of level three or higher for an extended period of time, they would have no chance of survival.

But whether they are ordinary people or low-level cultivators, this is something the Lu family currently lacks.

Lu Cheng'an is now meeting with people from Nascent Soul sects such as Zhenshui Sect and Lingjian Sect because he wants to borrow some manpower from them.

When these Nascent Soul sects moved to the Land of Demon Slayers, they also brought with them a large number of low-level cultivators and mortals.

If these Nascent Soul sects cannot provide the Lu family with enough mortals and low-level cultivators, Lu Cheng'an plans to seek help from the Yin Hua Sect.

The only problem is that the Yin Hua Sect is quite far from the Demon-Slaying Land, making it more troublesome to bring low-level cultivators and mortals to the Demon-Slaying Land.

After receiving Lu Cheng'an's orders, Lu Chengzhuo and the other Lu family cultivators immediately took action.

Although Lu Cheng'an and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lu family had not yet met the cultivators from the True Water Sect and the Lingjian Sect, they had come into contact with Lu Chengzhuo and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lu family.

Lu Chengzhuo had contact information with Nascent Soul sects such as the True Water Sect.

Lu Chengzhuo immediately sent a message to the cultivators of the Nascent Soul sects, including the True Water Sect, instructing them to all come to Golden Cauldron Mountain within five days, as the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family wanted to see them.

The cultivators of the Nascent Soul sects, such as the True Water Sect, were extremely uneasy after receiving Lu Chengzhuo's message.

It has been a long time since they moved to the Land of Demon Slayers. Their lives there are better than outside, and the strength of their respective sects has been steadily increasing.

They had been worried that the Lu family would be difficult to get along with, but after the Lu family moved into Jinding Mountain for so long without asking them to do anything, they gradually settled down.

They suddenly received a message from Lu Chengzhuo saying that a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Lu family wanted to see them, which immediately made them very nervous.

After sending messages to these Nascent Soul sects, Lu Chengzhuo began setting up Golden Cauldron Mountain with the cultivators of the Lu family.

This was the first time the Lu family had received guests after moving into Jinding Mountain, so they naturally had to make careful arrangements to avoid being looked down upon by others.

Before the deadline mentioned by Lu Cheng'an arrived, cultivators from the Nascent Soul sects, including the True Water Sect, all arrived at Golden Cauldron Mountain.

They were arranged by Lu Chengzhuo to be settled at Yingke Peak in Jinding Mountain, awaiting Lu Chengan's summons.

Once all the Nascent Soul cultivators had arrived, Lu Cheng'an did not make things difficult for them.

After meeting with the cultivators from the True Water Sect and other Nascent Soul sects, he clearly expressed his intention to have them send some manpower. Upon hearing Lu Cheng'an's order, these Nascent Soul sect cultivators completely relaxed.

This task is not difficult to complete; it just requires some effort.

Lu Cheng'an did not waste too much time on these Nascent Soul sects. After meeting with the cultivators of these Nascent Soul sects, he told them to go back and do what he asked of them as soon as possible.

Lu Cheng'an stopped monitoring the situation and handed it over to Lu Chengzhuo.

After meeting with cultivators from the True Water Sect and other Nascent Soul sects, Lu Cheng'an left Golden Cauldron Mountain and entered the Yin Hua Sect.

Lu Cheng'an entered the Yin Hua Sect mainly to use the sect's interdimensional passage to enter the Netherworld.

Lu Cheng'an had mentioned this matter when he asked Tianyun Shangren for the Fire Deer Pill. This time, after entering Yinhua Sect, he naturally did not encounter any obstacles and quickly entered the Netherworld through the interdimensional passage.

The exit of the Netherworld through the Two Realms Passage is located in Qingluo City. After Lu Cheng'an came out of the Two Realms Passage, he soon met the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

After exchanging pleasantries with the Green-Faced Ghost King, Lu Cheng'an took out the piece of mid-grade fifth-rank Yin-Yang Profound Iron.

“A Void Refining faction in the mortal realm held a trade fair, and I obtained this piece of mid-grade fifth-rank Yin-Yang Profound Iron at that trade fair. I wonder if it meets Fellow Daoist Green Face’s requirements?” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an secretly sensed the cultivation aura of the Green-Faced Ghost King. He was somewhat shocked because he discovered that the Green-Faced Ghost King's cultivation was improving extremely rapidly, and he was probably not far from breaking through to the late stage of the fifth rank.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu. This Yin-Yang Profound Iron is useful to me, extremely useful. With the help of this Yin-Yang Profound Iron, I am confident that I can break through to the late stage of the fifth rank within twenty years!" The Green-Faced Ghost Emperor laughed loudly.

Over the years, he had been searching for the Yin-Yang Mystic Iron, but the Netherworld was not as rich as the mortal world, and he had not been able to obtain it even after a long search.

There had been no news from Lu Cheng'an for a long time, and he had already prepared to give up. Unexpectedly, Lu Cheng'an entered the Netherworld at this time and brought him such good news!

"Then congratulations in advance to Fellow Daoist Green Face on your breakthrough in cultivation!"

Lu Cheng'an chuckled softly and said, "This time when I enter the Netherworld, there is something I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Qingmian for help with. I want to go to Luan Kong Mountain to comprehend the spatial Dao of the Netherworld, and I need Fellow Daoist Qingmian to accompany me."

This was his main purpose in coming to the underworld.

His greatest trump card was the spatial folding technique, but this technique also had a major flaw: it could not break the spatial confinement imposed by cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

To resolve this weakness, he can only enhance his understanding of the principles of space.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator's cultivation level continues to improve, their understanding of the Dao of Space also deepens. This is the main reason why a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Perfection Realm can imprison space.

In particular, the understanding of the Dao of Space will be greatly deepened after breaking through from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and there will also be a huge improvement from the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the perfect Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an mainly focused on comprehending the power of fire; his understanding of the power of space was not particularly profound.

The reason why the Space Folding Divine Power has such formidable power is mainly because of the spatial insights he gained from comprehending the spatial turbulence back then.

His understanding of the Dao of Space is still relatively one-sided, making him more vulnerable to being targeted.

“That’s no problem at all. May I ask when Fellow Daoist Lu plans to travel to Luan Kong Mountain?” the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor asked with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an helped him find the Yin-Yang Mysterious Iron he had been searching for for many years. Not to mention just taking Lu Cheng'an to Luan Kong Mountain, he would agree to even the most outrageous requests from Lu Cheng'an.

"I can go to Luan Kong Mountain at any time. It's up to Fellow Daoist Qingmian to decide when to depart!"

"Then in three days, after I've arranged the follow-up matters in Qingluo City, we'll set off for Luankong Mountain!"

The Green-Faced Ghost King chuckled softly and asked, "Has Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation already broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm?"

"I obtained a treasure some time ago and was lucky enough to break through!" Lu Cheng'an replied with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, your cultivation has broken through this time, and your strength must have greatly improved. Once my cultivation breaks through to the late stage of the fifth rank, I have a favor to ask of you!"

A serious expression appeared on the face of the Green-Faced Ghost King: "The territory occupied by my Qingluo City is too small and the resources are not abundant enough. Over the years, I have been expanding and have also provoked many powerful enemies, but they can't do anything to me."

"Once my cultivation breaks through to the late stage of the fifth rank, I intend to annex one of our rival forces, the Black Profound Palace. The Black Profound Palace has two Palace Masters, both at the late stage of the fifth rank, as well as five mid-stage fifth-rank cultivators and eight early-stage fifth-rank cultivators. At that time, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Lu to help me hold off one of the late-stage fifth-rank Palace Masters."

"I can give Fellow Daoist Lu a treasure to enhance his Dao Domain. This treasure is called the Fire Phoenix Tree, a spiritual tree inhabited by the divine beast Phoenix. I only have a branch of the Fire Phoenix Tree in my possession. If Fellow Daoist Lu places it into his own Dao Domain, there is a considerable chance that it will be revived!"

As the Green-Faced Ghost King spoke, he took out a fiery red tree branch about a foot long, with many natural flame runes on it.

There were three fiery red leaves on the branch, the leaves were made of fire jade and had the same flame patterns as the branches.

The Fire Phoenix Tree is not from the Netherworld; it's just that this branch somehow ended up in the Netherworld.

It was tainted by the aura of the underworld, and wisps of black energy would occasionally emerge from its branches.

When Lu Cheng'an saw the branch, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Just as the Green-Faced Ghost King said, the Fire Phoenix Tree is indeed the mother tree inhabited by the divine beast Phoenix.

It is said that when the Xuan Chen Realm was first created, there was a divine beast called the phoenix, and there were also many rare treasures of heaven and earth, such as the Fire Phoenix Tree.

However, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to diminish, powerful beings such as divine beasts like the phoenix disappeared from the Xuan Chen Realm, and rare treasures of heaven and earth of the rank of Fire Phoenix Tree never appeared again.

Lu Cheng'an had only seen descriptions of the Fire Phoenix and the divine beast Phoenix in ancient books. Although the branch that the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor took out was similar to the Fire Phoenix described in the books, he was not sure if it was the Fire Phoenix.

But one thing he was certain of was that the branch was indeed very valuable and would definitely benefit the enhancement of his Dao Domain power.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmian is too kind. When Fellow Daoist Qingmian's cultivation breaks through to the late stage of the fifth rank and you take action against the Black Profound Palace, you only need to ask a cultivator from the Yin Hua Sect to inform me, and I will immediately enter the Netherworld to assist Fellow Daoist Qingmian."

Lu Cheng'an laughed heartily and directly stored the fire sycamore branch into his storage ring. (End of Chapter)
