"Just who is this Lu Cheng'an? His strength is even greater than that of the Purple Horned Demon!"

"Now I truly believe that the Demon-Summoning Sect was destroyed by him. The Demon-Summoning Sect Master's strength was no match for Purple Horn Yuan Demon!"

…………

The surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators all turned some of their attention to Lu Cheng'an, mainly because they were curious about him and because the strength he displayed was somewhat too overwhelming.

"Kill this newly arrived Nascent Soul cultivator!"

While fighting the White Wolf King, Yuan Shui Old Mother let out an angry roar. She quickly cast a spell, and at that moment, a golden hairpin on her head flew out and instantly pierced towards Lu Cheng'an.

This golden hairpin is a top-grade fifth-tier magical artifact, and it's also a magical artifact that excels at sneak attacks.

After the Old Mother of Yuanshui made her move, the demonic cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, including the Demon Child with Yin Pattern, also unleashed their own techniques to bombard Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an had been keeping a close eye on the situation of demonic cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, such as Yuan Shui Laomu. Before he went all out, he had considered that it would provoke Yuan Shui Laomu and other demonic cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm to target him.

He reached out to grab Tianyun Shangren, and at the same time used the space folding divine power, instantly disappearing in front of the group of Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the strength you displayed this time is too great. You will probably face targeting from the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture!" Venerable Tianyun said helplessly.

He was extremely shocked. The strength that Lu Cheng'an had displayed had actually attracted the simultaneous attacks of demonic cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm in Qian Yuan Prefecture.

"The Demon-Summoning Sect was destroyed by my hand. The demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture will definitely be able to trace it back to me. At that time, I will also face their targeting!"

Lu Chengan smiled faintly and said, "Qingyunzi wanted to send me to the Fire Lake of the Golden Flame Sect for cultivation. He must have called me to the Cloud Sea Sect to see if my strength is worth the investment."

"I've really made a name for myself now, and I think I've met Qingyunzi's expectations!"

"That's for sure. If even this can't meet Qingyunzi's requirements, then no one in the three states of Mengyuan can meet them!"

"After Fellow Daoist Lu enters the Fire Lake of the Golden Flame Sect, I believe it won't be long before your cultivation breaks through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. At that time, with Fellow Daoist Lu's strength, even if you encounter the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture, you certainly won't have to be afraid!" Venerable Tianyun said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet he is able to kill a demonic cultivator at the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

If Lu Cheng'an's cultivation were to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, then cultivators at the perfect Nascent Soul realm might not be a match for him.

Lu Cheng'an and Tianyun Shangren are now hundreds of thousands of miles away from Yunhai Sect. Although the strength of the demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, such as Yuanshui Laomu, is extremely formidable, their attacks cannot possibly affect a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles.

"Withdraw from the mountain gate!"

Qingyunzi shouted, glancing at the furious Yuanshui Old Mother and the other Nascent Soul cultivators, and in a very good mood, he gave the order to retreat.

The cultivators, including Qingyunzi, retreated quickly. This was not the first time they had done this. In just a short while, the cultivators from the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture had all returned to the gates of Yunhai Sect.

At this moment, the protective array of the Yunhai Sect's mountain gate was fully activated, isolating all demonic cultivators outside the mountain gate.

The Cloud Sea Sect's mountain-protecting formation is a top-grade fifth-order formation. Although both are top-grade fifth-order formations, the Cloud Sea Sect's mountain-protecting formation is far stronger than the Demon-Attracting Sect's Ten Dragons Ringing the Sky Formation.

Initially, the Old Mother of Yuanshui led the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture in a full-scale attack on the protective array of Yunhai Sect.

Although they failed to break through the Yunhai Sect's protective formation, they did cause significant damage to it.

Therefore, Qingyunzi led the cultivators from the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture to leave the Yunhai Sect's mountain gate and fight against the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture. Although they were no match for the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture, they reduced the damage to the mountain-protecting formation.

If the protective array of the Yunhai Sect is destroyed, the Yunhai Sect will be in an extremely dangerous situation.

After Qingyunzi led the group of cultivators back to the mountain gate, this time Yuanshui Laomu did not order a retreat, but instead launched a full-scale attack on the protective array of the Yunhai Sect's mountain gate.

This was not the first time such an attack had been launched. The demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture were not strong enough to break through the protective array of the Yunhai Sect's mountain gate. After causing some damage to the Yunhai Sect's protective array, they had to stop their attack.

Because their magical power is severely depleted, they may be in danger if the attack continues.

After Yuan Shui Laomu led the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture to retreat, Qing Yunzi sent a message to Tian Yun Shangren, inquiring about the situation of Tian Yun Shangren and Lu Cheng'an, and telling them that the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture had retreated and they could return to Yun Hai Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture have already retreated. Should we return to Yunhai Sect now?” Tianyun Shangren asked.

"The demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture retreated so quickly!"

Lu Cheng'an looked surprised, then asked, "Is this how the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture always attack?"

Master Tianyun nodded and said, "The demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture are indeed stronger than us now, but they are not yet able to break through the defense of the Yunhai Sect's protective array. Therefore, the stalemate continues. Battles like today break out every now and then, but neither side suffers too many casualties!"

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly and said, "Let's go back now!"

Lu Cheng'an wasted no time. He and Tianyun Shangren used their spatial folding abilities to quickly return to the gates of Yunhai Sect.

After the two appeared above the Yunhai Sect's mountain gate, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yunhai Sect immediately flew out and brought Lu Cheng'an and the other person into the Yunhai Sect's mountain gate.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is Fairy Huanxu from the Cloud Sea Sect, with a cultivation level of late-stage Nascent Soul!"

"Fellow Daoist Huanxu, this is Fellow Daoist Lu Cheng'an, whom I told you about before. The Demon-Attracting Sect was destroyed by Fellow Daoist Lu!"

Master Tianyun smiled and introduced Lu Cheng'an and Fairy Huanxu to each other.

Lu Cheng'an and Fairy Huanxu smiled and nodded in acknowledgment before entering the council hall of the Cloud Sea Sect together.

At this moment, the council hall was already filled with many cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, and Qingyunzi and White Wolf Emperor, both at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, were seated in the main seats.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is indeed as Tianyun and Fellow Daoist Wanshi described, and is even much more powerful than they described!"

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an and the other two arrive, Qingyunzi's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile, and he promptly stood up from his seat.

"Sect Master, you flatter me!" Lu Cheng'an smiled modestly, cupped his hands slightly, and looked at the surrounding cultivators with a smile, saying loudly, "Lu Cheng'an greets all fellow Daoists!"

After the Nascent Soul cultivators around Lu Cheng'an returned the greeting, Qingyunzi personally arranged for Lu Cheng'an to sit down, and then told everyone about Lu Cheng'an's glorious deeds.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture already knew that the Demon-Attracting Sect had been destroyed by Lu Cheng'an. However, at that time, they were still skeptical, thinking that Lu Cheng'an might have used some special means to destroy the Demon-Attracting Sect.

But at this moment, there was no need for Lu Cheng'an to say anything more. Lu Cheng'an had already demonstrated his formidable strength to them in his previous battle with the Purple Horned Demon.

The Purple Horned Demon's cultivation level is at the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and there are very few cultivators in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture who can defeat him.

Moreover, the scene of Lu Cheng'an easily escaping with Tianyun Shangren when facing the combined attack of Yuan Shui Laomu and several other demonic cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm was even more shocking to them.

"The main reason I invited Fellow Daoist Lu here is to send him to the Fire Lake of the Golden Flame Sect for cultivation. With the help of the superior conditions of the Fire Lake, I hope that Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation can be raised to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible!" Qingyunzi said with a smile.

The moment Qingyunzi's voice fell, a look of astonishment appeared on the faces of the surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators.

They were all familiar with the Fire Path Lake of the Golden Flame Sect. Although they were all cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, it was not an easy thing for them to enter the Fire Path Lake to cultivate.

Now that Qingyunzi is saying he wants to send Lu Chengan to Huodao Lake for cultivation, they are naturally envious.

They quickly understood why Qingyunzi did this. Lu Chengan was strong enough that once his cultivation broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it would be equivalent to having an additional Nascent Soul realm cultivator in the three states of Mengyuan.

They are currently being suppressed by the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture, but if Lu Cheng'an's cultivation breaks through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, then they can at least fight the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture to a draw.

If Lu Cheng'an's cultivation breaks through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in the future, then they will be able to turn the tables and destroy the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture.

Lu Cheng'an is already able to defeat cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm with his current cultivation level of mid-stage Nascent Soul. When he breaks through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm, there will probably be no one in the Nascent Soul realm who can rival him.

“Sending Fellow Daoist Lu to cultivate in the Fire Dao Lake is a good thing. If he can obtain the Fire Jade Lotus Root, that would be even better. At that time, Fellow Daoist Lu’s cultivation will probably break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm very soon!” the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses said with a smile.

Qingyunzi only told Tianyun Shangren about this matter, and Wanshi Laoren only just learned about it.

The relationship between the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses and Lu Cheng'an goes without saying; he hoped that Lu Cheng'an's strength would become stronger and stronger.

He was the one who brought up the Fire Jade Lotus Root. If Lu Cheng'an could obtain the Fire Jade Lotus Root, it would be almost certain that his cultivation would break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in a short period of time.

The Fire Jade Lotus Root is a rare and precious item that aids cultivators in practicing fire-attribute techniques, and there are no side effects to using it for cultivation.

"The Fire Jade Lotus Root produced in Fire Path Lake is not abundant. This kind of thing is extremely rare even in the Golden Flame Sect, so they may not be willing to share it!"

"All Fellow Daoist Lu needs is a fifth-grade superior Fire Jade Lotus Root. It shouldn't be too difficult for the Golden Flame Sect to produce a fifth-grade superior Fire Jade Lotus Root, after all, the Blood River Demon Sect gave the Yuan Water Demon Sect two opportunities to enter the fifth-grade superior Blood Pool!"

…………

After the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses brought up this topic, the Nascent Soul cultivators around him immediately began discussing the Fire Jade Lotus Root.

They were not jealous of Lu Cheng'an. Lu Cheng'an was a cultivator from the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture, and his strength was of no harm to them.

Because if the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture were to be breached by the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture, the losses they would suffer would be too great.

After the Nascent Soul cultivators discussed the matter, Qingyunzi finally spoke, "I will try my best to secure the Fire Jade Lotus Root for Fellow Daoist Lu. The demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture have just launched an attack, and they should not launch another attack for the time being. Without further ado, I plan to send Fellow Daoist Lu to the Golden Flame Sect now!"

"Lu Cheng'an thanks Fellow Daoist Qingyun and all fellow Daoists. I will certainly live up to your expectations and will strive to raise my cultivation to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible, so as to drive out the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture!" Lu Cheng'an smiled as he looked at Qingyunzi and the other Nascent Soul realm cultivators, cupping his hands to express his gratitude.

Soon after, Qingyunzi led Lu Chengan to Jinyan City via a teleportation array.

Golden Flame City is a cultivation city built by the Golden Flame Sect, and it is not far from the sect's mountain gate.

"I have already informed Elder Xin Yan of the Golden Flame Sect that he will check your Dao Domain strength later. You definitely meet the requirements, and Elder Xin Yan will then take you to the Fire Dao Lake!"

Qingyunzi looked at Lu Chengan and said in a deep voice, "Don't think about hiding your strength. The stronger you are, the more the Golden Flame Sect will value you, and the more benefits you can obtain from the Golden Flame Sect!"

The entire Xuanchen Realm needs geniuses right now, since geniuses grow up faster and possess greater strength, which is exactly what the Xuanchen Realm needs most at the moment.

After giving Lu Cheng'an some instructions, Qingyunzi quickly led him to the Golden Flame Sect's headquarters in Golden Flame City, where Elder Xinyan was located.

Elder Xinyan's cultivation level is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and his strength is even greater than that of Qingyunzi.

"Qingyunzi of Yunhai Sect greets Elder Xinyan!"

"Lu Cheng'an greets Elder Xin Yan!"

Upon seeing Elder Xinyan, Lu Chengan and Qingyunzi immediately bowed and paid their respects.

Although both are cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, Elder Xin Yan comes from the Refining Void Sect, the Golden Flame Sect, and his strength is greater than that of Lu Cheng'an and Qing Yunzi, so he is naturally a level above Lu Cheng'an and Qing Yunzi.

"There's no need for such formalities. I've already seen Fellow Daoist Qingyun's message. Fellow Daoist Lu's entry into Fire Lake is easy to discuss; I can agree to it. However, the matter of the Fire Jade Lotus Root is more complicated. I need to see Fellow Daoist Lu's strength before I can make a decision!"

Elder Xinyan was not arrogant; he was quite polite to Lu Cheng'an and the other man.

Elder Xin Yan's gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an, and he said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu, release your Dao Domain and let this old man see your strength!"

Qingyunzi had already discussed this matter with Lu Cheng'an before, so Lu Cheng'an did not hesitate after Elder Xinyan asked him to release his Dao Domain.

After nodding to Elder Xin Yan, he immediately spread out his Dao Domain.

Lu Cheng'an's Dao Domain has now expanded to 1,500 zhang, a range that exceeds that of some late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Dao Domain of the Demon-Summoning Sect Master he had previously slain was not as powerful as his. (End of Chapter)
