Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Yanzhou's resources are limited. Since the Hanhai Desert swallowed up the territory that originally belonged to the Tiandao Palace, the cultivation environment in Yanzhou has continued to deteriorate little by little.

Without sufficient cultivation resources, there will naturally be no larger number of Nascent Soul cultivators.

The strength of the two Nascent Soul sects, Tianhuo Sect and Jiuxiao Sect, has been increasing slowly. Originally, they could have plundered resources from other places.

However, ever since they learned that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, they completely gave up on such a idea.

If they stay obediently in Yanzhou, things might change in the future.

However, if they were to plunder resources from Qing and He prefectures, given Lu Cheng'an's ruthlessness, he might simply wipe them out.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect, including True Monarch Heavenly Fire, were extremely uneasy upon seeing Lu Cheng'an arrive.

They were unsure of Lu Cheng'an's true purpose in coming to the Heavenly Fire Sect.

"The problem of the outward expansion of the Han Hai Desert has been resolved. From now on, you must pay close attention to the situation of the Han Hai Desert. If there are any unusual developments in the Han Hai Desert, immediately inform the Lu family!"

"We will humbly obey the instructions of our predecessors!"

The Nascent Soul cultivators, including True Monarch Tianhuo, were deeply shaken. They had not expected that Lu Cheng'an would actually step in to help them solve the problem of the expansion of the Vast Sea Desert.

Lu Cheng'an ignored the reactions of Tianhuo Zhenjun and the others. After giving instructions to the Nascent Soul cultivators of Tianhuo Sect, he left the sect's gate in an instant.

Not long after, Lu Cheng'an returned to the Lu family's mountain gate and then summoned Lu Chengping to his cave.

"Brother Chengping, I just returned from the Vast Desert. I killed a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm there!"

"A cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm?"

"How could there be a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm in the vast desert!" Lu Chengping exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Chengping, don't forget, the world we are in is called the Burial Ground of Immortals. The Vast Desert is the real Burial Ground of Immortals, where countless powerful cultivators are buried!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed and said, "That Nascent Soul cultivator was in very poor condition, and it took me a lot of effort to kill him. Now, those high-level cultivators buried in the Vast Desert may be having problems, and they will definitely revive one after another."

Lu Cheng'an frowned deeply, his gaze falling on Lu Chengping. He said in a deep voice, "Those high-level cultivators are at least at the Nascent Soul stage. Now, there must be Nascent Soul stage cultivators left to guard the Burial Immortal Land. I want Brother Chengping to stay and oversee the Burial Immortal Land for a few more years."

Although there are fifth-order spiritual veins within the family's mountain gate, it doesn't hinder Lu Chengping's cultivation; however, it is still not as good as the outside world.

“I haven’t suffered any loss by staying behind at the family’s mountain gate, Cheng’an. Don’t feel bad about it. Besides, it’s what I should do.”

Lu Chengping smiled faintly and said, "I will keep a close eye on the situation in the Hanhai Desert. If any unusual activity occurs in the Hanhai Desert, I will inform you immediately!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Chengping, to take care of the clan's affairs!"

After Lu Cheng'an explained the situation in the vast desert to Lu Chengping in detail, Lu Chengping left Lu Cheng'an's cave.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an took out the treasures he had obtained from the vast desert one by one.

A sixth-grade low-quality golden long arrow, a fifth-grade high-quality magic seal, and a storage bracelet.

The golden arrow and the magic seal were already quite valuable, but what really interested Lu Cheng'an was the storage bracelet.

This storage bracelet was the storage artifact of that middle-aged man. During his peak, his cultivation was at the perfect Nascent Soul stage. Since he was qualified to enter the Burial Immortal Land, he must have had quite a few good things on him.

Of course, Lu Cheng'an most wanted to obtain some ancient texts from the storage bracelet to learn more about the Burial Ground of Immortals.

The storage bracelet still contained the divine sense seal left by the middle-aged man, but with his death, the power of the divine sense seal he left behind was greatly weakened.

Lu Cheng'an spent two hours gradually wearing away the divine sense seal in the storage bracelet, and then he couldn't wait to take out all the items in the storage bracelet.

"They're all ancient texts and jade slips!"

A look of surprise appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. The storage bracelet had a lot of space, but it didn't contain many things, only ancient books and jade slips.

There are many ancient books and jade slips, nearly ten thousand in number.

Lu Cheng'an was overjoyed. These ancient texts and jade slips were more important to him and the Lu family than any other treasures.

Lu Cheng'an quickly scanned through the ancient texts and jade slips. When he saw the contents recorded in them, a pleasant smile appeared on his face.

Because he found thirty-two cultivation methods for reaching the Nascent Soul stage and six cultivation methods for reaching the Void Refinement stage in these classic texts.

Of the thirty-two cultivation techniques that can be practiced to the Nascent Soul stage, twelve can be practiced to the Perfect Nascent Soul stage.

Of the six cultivation techniques for the Void Refinement Realm, two can be cultivated to the early stage of Void Refinement, two to the middle stage, and the remaining two to the late stage and the perfect stage of Void Refinement, respectively.

The cultivation technique that can be practiced to the point of perfect refining emptiness is called the Yellow Earth Suppressing Mountain Scripture. This technique is also the supreme technique of the Huang Yuan Sect.

That middle-aged man was from Huang Yuanzong. He was one of the six Nascent Soul cultivators who had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm in Huang Yuanzong at that time.

Of Huang Yuanzong's six cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, three died in battle, while the remaining three were buried in the Burial Ground of Immortals.

For some unknown reason, the middle-aged man recovered prematurely, and the current situation of Huang Yuanzong's two remaining Nascent Soul stage cultivators is unknown.

The middle-aged man practiced the Yellow Earth Suppressing Mountain Scripture, and the yellowish-brown magic seal he offered up was the Mountain Suppressing Treasure Seal, a natal magic treasure recorded in the Yellow Earth Suppressing Mountain Scripture.

The main attack method of this magical artifact is to suppress and bombard with overwhelming force, and its power is extremely strong.

Besides these cultivation methods, the classic texts also contain many supernatural abilities, including twenty-four supernatural abilities for the Nascent Soul stage and four supernatural abilities for the Void Refining stage.

These supernatural abilities are not among the supernatural abilities attached to those cultivation techniques; each of these supernatural abilities is extremely powerful.

One of the four Void Refinement Realm divine abilities is a fire-attribute divine ability called Star Flame Void God Seal.

This supernatural power is extremely powerful, but it is also extremely difficult to cultivate.

This divine ability also requires the cultivator's Dao Domain power to activate it, and cultivating this divine ability also requires the assistance of meteorite stones.

Meteorites are energy stones left behind after stars shatter; they are rare and extremely precious. The stronger the meteorite used to cultivate the Starflame Void God Seal, the more powerful the Starflame Void God Seal will be.

The Starflame Void God Seal is a divine ability of the Refining Void Realm. The meteorite stone required to cultivate this level of divine ability must be at least of the sixth-grade low quality. Lu Cheng'an does not yet have the ability to cultivate the Starflame Void God Seal.

The storage bracelet contains a wide variety of books, including not only those on cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, but also those on weapon crafting and alchemy, each forming its own system.

Among them, the highest-ranking inheritances are spiritual plant inheritance and talisman crafting inheritance, both of which reach the sixth rank.

In addition, the quality of the inheritances in alchemy, weapon crafting, etc. is also quite high, basically reaching the fifth-order top grade.

"If the cultivators buried in the Burial Ground of Immortals slowly recover, it might be a good thing for me and my family!"

After Lu Cheng'an withdrew his mind from the ancient texts, a faint smile appeared on his face.

The cultivators in the vast desert were of extraordinary origin, and they had collected quite a few ancient texts.

If we kill them before they recover their strength and obtain the various classic texts and inheritances they have collected, it will definitely be able to quickly enhance the Lu family's foundation.

"However, this is also extremely dangerous. The Huang Yuan Sect cultivators who have been revived this time have all reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. The next ones that will be revived may be those at the Void Refinement stage!"

Lu Cheng'an is currently only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he already has some difficulty dealing with cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. If he were to face a cultivator at the Void Refinement realm, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.

"Let's take it one step at a time. If all else fails, we'll reveal our true origins and ask high-level cultivators from the Xuan Chen Realm for help!"

The Burial Ground of Immortals is both a threat and a tremendous opportunity for the Lu family.

The Burial Grounds have not yet posed a threat to the Lu family, so Lu Cheng'an does not want to expose the situation of the Burial Grounds to the outside world.

Moreover, the Lu family all originated from the Burial Immortal Land, and he was unsure how the cultivators of the Xuan Chen Realm would react if they knew their origins.

If they were treated like the cultivators in the vast desert, their situation would be dangerous.

After a moment, Lu Cheng'an suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and began to organize those classic texts.

Lu Cheng'an made two copies of this part of the classic texts. One copy was left in the family's mountain gate in the Hong'e Mountains, and the other copy he planned to put in Jinding Mountain.

He planned to store this first copy separately to avoid any unexpected situations.

After finishing dealing with these ancient texts, Lu Cheng'an did not leave the Burial Immortal Land. Instead, he stayed at the mountain gate, took a Fire Deer Pill, and began to cultivate diligently.

He planned to stay in the Burial Ground of Immortals for a while longer, until the Green-Faced Ghost King was about to make a move against the ghost cultivators of the Black Profound Palace, before entering the Netherworld.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"The quality of the pills refined by the Void Ancient Beast is really good. I have taken two Fire Deer Pills in the past ten years, and my cultivation has improved significantly."

Lu Cheng'an felt the change in his cultivation level and a smile appeared on his face. At the same time, he became even more longing for the outer void.

Although the ancient void beasts in the outer void are extremely dangerous, their corpses are rare treasures for cultivators.

Besides these ancient void beasts, the outer void also gives birth to all sorts of treasures.

These treasures are of very high quality and better than those born in the Xuan Chen Realm, and they are also more effective for cultivators.

It was for this reason that Tianyun Shangren told Lu Chengan that many powerful cultivators from the Xuanchen Realm would enter the six towns in the outer void.

If one performs well in the six towns, one can not only obtain a large amount of cultivation resources, but may also be valued by the major powers of the Central Divine Continent and receive their resource support.

The situation in the Xuan Chen Realm is currently extremely dire. There are ancient void beasts that cannot be eradicated from beyond the realm; within the realm, there are powerful demonic cultivators and the huge hidden danger of the Burial Immortal Land.

If any of these three forces were to suddenly erupt, it could potentially cause a devastating blow to the Xuan Chen Realm.

Therefore, the Central Divine Continent selects outstanding cultivators from the Xuan Chen Realm for training, with the aim of preparing for potential dangers later on.

"Ten years have passed. The Green-Faced Ghost King's cultivation should have broken through to the late stage of the fifth rank. It's time for him to enter the Netherworld!"

After considering his options, Lu Cheng'an summoned Lu Chengping and the clan leader to his cave. After giving them some instructions, he used his spatial folding technique and instantly appeared above the Netherworld River.

The spatial folding technique granted Lu Cheng'an extreme speed, and he arrived at Qingluo City in a short time.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, your arrival is perfectly timed! I was just about to go and find you!"

The Green-Faced Ghost Emperor has now broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His cultivation has been fully consolidated, and he is preparing to make a move against the Black Profound Palace.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Green Face, on your breakthrough in cultivation! You now have a chance to achieve immortality!"

After congratulating the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor with a smile, Lu Cheng'an inquired about the ghost cultivators of the Black Profound Palace.

Previously, the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor had briefly introduced the situation of the Black Profound Palace to Lu Cheng'an. Lu Cheng'an knew that the Black Profound Palace had two Palace Masters, both of whom were at the late stage of the fifth rank. In addition, there were five mid-stage fifth-rank cultivators and eight early-stage fifth-rank cultivators.

The Green-Faced Ghost King asked him to deal with one of the two Palace Masters who were in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Now, Lu Cheng'an wanted to gain some understanding of these two Palace Masters.

"The two hall masters of the Black Profound Palace are the brother and sister Hei Feng and Hei Yu. Hei Feng is stronger and is skilled in wind magic. The two divine abilities he has cultivated are the most powerful. These two divine abilities are Black Fiend Profound Wind and Black Wind Bone-Penetrating Seal. His natal magic weapon is called Black Wind Profound Nether Banner, which can release Profound Nether Yin Fiend Wind, an extremely vicious yin wind."

"Hei Yu's strength is slightly weaker than her brother's. She also cultivates two divine abilities, namely Yinming Hei Yu and Yinshi Hei Yu Seal. Her natal magic weapon is the Hei Yu God-Slaying Seal, which is specifically designed to target a cultivator's primordial spirit."

"In addition, these two siblings also practice a combined attack technique called the Black Wind and Black Rain Annihilation Seal, which is their strongest offensive technique."

When the Green-Faced Ghost King mentioned the Black Wind and Black Rain Heaven-Destroying Treasure Seal, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

This divine ability is extremely powerful; the two siblings once used it to kill a cultivator at the late stage of the fifth rank.

"The Black Profound Palace is so powerful, why is Fellow Daoist Green Face in such a hurry to attack them?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a frown.

The Green-Faced Ghost Emperor had only broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm a few years ago. No matter how powerful he was, it was not an easy task for him to kill the two late-stage Nascent Soul realm hall masters of the Black Profound Palace.

The Green-Faced Ghost King is acting far too hastily right now. (End of Chapter)
