Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"It wasn't smooth sailing. The location of that secret realm was extremely well hidden, and it took me a long time to find its true location."

Lu Chengan sighed and said, "The water element in the secret realm is abundant, but it has also given birth to many powerful ancient void beasts. As you two know, I have been studying the power of fire. The ancient void beasts in the secret realm all use the power of water, which is extremely effective against me. I am no match for them at all. It took me a lot of effort to leave that secret realm safely!"

Lu Cheng'an did not tell Tianyun Shangren the truth about the situation in the secret realm, and Jiang Li's condition was still very problematic.

Before Jiang Li's cultivation breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm, his existence should be kept secret from others as much as possible.

"It's good that Fellow Daoist Lu has returned safely. That's how it is in the endless void. Although there are many opportunities, there are also many dangers." Venerable Tianyun said with a smile.

Neither of them suspected Lu Cheng'an; the secret realm had been discovered by their sect's predecessors years ago.

If that secret realm is safe, the predecessors of their two sects would have already obtained the treasures within.

After Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren inquired about Lu Cheng'an's situation, Lu Cheng'an proposed to leave through the endless void.

The two, Tianyun Shangren and his companion, did not raise any objections. Their main purpose in entering the Endless Void was to accompany Lu Cheng'an in searching for some opportunities within it.

Now that Lu Cheng'an has taken the initiative to return, they naturally have no other objections.

Black Ruins Lake is not close to the boundary passage, and there are still many dangerous places in between.

Lu Cheng'an and his two companions were not too unlucky. They did not encounter any further dangers on their return journey and successfully reached the boundary passage, returning to the Xuan Chen Realm from the endless void.

Jinding Mountain.

"This trip to the endless void has been quite fruitful. All the spirit wood has been handed over to Yonghui. These spirit woods are all of the fifth grade, while Yonghui's cultivation is still at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage!"

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly when he thought of Lu Yonghui's cultivation level.

Lu Yonghui's cultivation level improved at a fast pace, but the Lu family was in dire need of high-level spirit plant masters, which is why Lu Cheng'an felt that Lu Yonghui's Nascent Soul realm cultivation was somewhat insufficient.

"Once Yonghui has settled those spirit trees, the clan will need to do everything in its power to help him break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

After considering his options, Lu Cheng'an took out a crimson fruit from his storage ring. This fruit was a top-grade fifth-tier Vermilion Fruit that he had obtained from the endless void.

There were only two ripe fifth-grade vermilion fruits on that top-quality vermilion fruit tree, and he picked both of them.

"I wonder to what extent these two top-grade fifth-tier Vermilion Fruits will improve my cultivation?"

Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell on the Vermilion Fruit in his hand, and then he swallowed it, quickly refining the abundant energy contained within it.

Time flies when you're cultivating; more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

"As expected of a top-grade fifth-order spiritual fruit, these two Vermilion Fruits have saved me a hundred years of arduous cultivation."

"It's a pity that spiritual objects like the Vermilion Fruit are too rare. Even with Demon Hunting Points, you can't get them. Otherwise, you could break through to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm in a short time!"

"Ningyu and Jingkun have successfully broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Once they return to their families, I need to go back to the Burial Grounds of Immortals to bring Chengping out!"

Shi Ningyu and Lu Jingkun had already left Jinding Mountain, and they each went to spiritual places like Huodao Lake to break through their cultivation levels.

Shi Ningyu had already reached the bottleneck of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. After entering the spiritual land, her cultivation successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Jingkun still has some time before breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but news came not long ago that his cultivation had also successfully broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Entering such a spiritual land is quite difficult. After Shi Ningyu and Lu Jingkun successfully broke through their cultivation levels, they did not leave immediately, but continued to consolidate their cultivation and comprehend the power of the Great Dao in the spiritual land.

However, the deadline for them to enter the sacred land is fast approaching, at which point they will have to leave.

After thinking it over carefully, Lu Cheng'an took out the jade slip containing the Fire Mulberry Dao Yuan Technique.

The Fire Mulberry Dao Yuan Technique is similar to the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique. Lu Cheng'an has only studied this technique briefly. This technique has a stronger amplification effect on Dao Domain power than the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique.

However, the Fire Mulberry Dao Yuan Technique is quite difficult to cultivate, and like the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique, it requires the assistance of Fire Mulberry Spirit Wood.

Lu Cheng'an does not currently possess any Fire Mulberry Spirit Wood, and his current understanding of the Fire Mulberry Dao Yuan Technique is insufficient to successfully cultivate this secret method.

However, if he successfully obtains the Fire Mulberry Spirit Wood, he will be able to cultivate this secret technique to a high level in a short period of time.

Two years after Lu Cheng'an began practicing the Fire Mulberry Dao Yuan Technique, Shi Ningyu and Lu Jingkun returned to Jin Ding Mountain at the same time.

"Jingkun, now that your cultivation has broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, are you confident in dispelling the demonic energy within the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate?" Lu Cheng'an inquired.

The demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture have been wiped out for a long time, and yet the Yuanshui Demonic Sect's mountain gate has never been occupied by any immortal cultivation forces.

Besides the fact that Lu Cheng'an had made arrangements with the cultivation forces of the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture, there was another very important reason: the number of demonic veins within the Yuanshui Demon Sect was too large, and ordinary cultivation forces were not capable of resolving the demonic veins within the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate.

Lu Cheng'an had not taken any action before because Lu Jingkun was focused on breaking through his cultivation level.

Lu Jingkun is a fifth-order spirit array master, and the power of Lu Jingkun is the main reason why the demonic veins within the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate were neutralized.

"Uncle Cheng'an, don't worry. I am now confident that I can set up a top-grade fifth-tier purification magic array. As long as I have enough time, I am sure I can dissolve the demonic veins within the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate!"

Lu Jingkun smiled confidently and said, "Uncle Cheng'an, are you planning to bring Uncle Chengping out of the Burial Ground of Immortals? I wonder when Uncle Cheng'an plans to make his move. If I can get Uncle Chengping's help, I can set up the purification magic array much faster!"

Lu Chengping's cultivation had already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and his talent in array formation was also quite good; he was already a fifth-order spirit array master.

After he emerges from the Burial Ground of Immortals and meets Lu Jingkun, their skills in array formation will undoubtedly improve further.

“I do intend to bring your Uncle Chengping out of the Burial Ground of Immortals. Now that there are new cultivators in the clan at the Nascent Soul stage, they can take your Uncle Chengping’s place and guard the Burial Ground of Immortals!”

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "Later, select some people from your clan and head to the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate as soon as possible. It has been a long time since the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture were wiped out. If we don't take any action, the people from sects like Yun Hai Sect might have something to say!"

"I will head to the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate shortly. However, the materials needed to set up a fifth-tier top-grade purification magic array may be incomplete. I'm afraid we'll need to ask the Yun Hai Sect or other sects for help!" Lu Jingkun said.

The Yuan Shui Demon Sect possesses a vast number of fifth-tier demonic veins. To completely purify the demonic energy there, more than one top-grade fifth-tier purification magic array would be needed. Materials for setting up top-grade fifth-tier purification magic arrays are not uncommon, and Lu Jingkun did not possess a complete set of such materials.

"I have collected two sets of materials for refining a fifth-grade top-quality purification magic array, most of which were provided by sects such as the Cloud Sea Sect."

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "Check if there are any problems with these materials used to set up the fifth-order top-grade purification magic array. If there are no problems, after I bring your Uncle Chengping out of the Burial Immortal Land, I will refine these materials into array flags for setting up the array."

The Xuan Chen Realm provides resource support to cultivation forces that occupy demonized lands, as was the case when the Lu family occupied Jin Ding Mountain.

Although the Lu family's strength has greatly increased, they can still enjoy resource support.

After learning that the Lu family wanted to seize the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, cultivation forces such as the Yunhai Sect began to inquire about the kind of assistance the Lu family needed.

At that time, Lu Cheng'an asked cultivators from sects such as Yunhai Sect to help him find materials to build a fifth-order purification magic array, and he has made considerable progress over the years.

In addition to the two sets of materials for refining a fifth-grade top-quality purification magic array, there are also four sets of fifth-grade high-quality materials and five sets of fifth-grade mid-quality materials.

After Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun made their agreement, Lu Cheng'an handed over all the materials to Lu Jingkun.

Afterwards, Lu Jingkun selected some people from his family to go to the mountain gate of the Yuanshui Demon Sect.

After Lu Jingkun left, Lu Cheng'an took Shi Ningyu back to his cave. After a deep conversation, Lu Cheng'an took Lu Jinglin and his sister Lu Jinglin away from Jinding Mountain.

Lu Jinglin's cultivation has successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, but Lu Jingxiu's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm was not as smooth as Lu Jinglin's; her first attempt to break through ended in failure.

However, she has now recovered and has a second chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The people Lu Cheng'an chose to return to the Burial Immortal Land to take charge were Lu Jinglin and his sister.

The Burial Ground is now much calmer than the outside, so Lu Jingxiu can focus on trying to break through to the Nascent Soul realm for the second time after returning to the Burial Ground.

After leaving Jinding Mountain with his brothers Lu Jinglin, Lu Cheng'an went directly to the gate of Yinhua Sect.

Tianyun Shangren and Lu Cheng'an are now very close, and he is now certain that there are problems with Lu Cheng'an's background.

However, the entanglement between Yin Huazong and Lu Cheng'an is now very deep, and the strength that the Lu family has shown so far has surpassed that of Yin Huazong.

Even though he suspected there might be issues with the Lu family's background, he wouldn't use that to cause trouble for Lu Cheng'an.

After arriving at the Yin Hua Sect, Lu Cheng'an and his sister Lu Jinglin exchanged a few pleasantries with Master Tianyun before leading them through the Yin Hua Sect's interdimensional passage into the Netherworld.

"It's been so long since we last met, Fellow Daoist Green Face has improved a lot in cultivation. I'm afraid you're not far from breaking through to the fifth-order perfection!"

After entering the Netherworld, Lu Cheng'an soon met the Green-Faced Ghost King.

A long time had passed since he last saw the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor. During this time, he had raised his cultivation level from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

At that time, the Green-Faced Ghost King's cultivation level was at the late stage of the fifth rank, but now he felt that the Green-Faced Ghost King was not too far from breaking through to the perfect fifth rank.

"This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu's help!"

The Green-Faced Ghost King smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation has also improved a lot, and he has now broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

"A Five Elements Secret Realm has recently appeared in the Netherworld, which has a high probability of giving birth to Five Elements Dao Spirits. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu would be interested in exploring it?"

"The Five Elements Dao Spirit?"

Lu Cheng'an's eyes flickered slightly. Dao spirits were extremely rare. He had just helped Jiang Li capture a water Dao spirit not long ago.

Now, the Green-Faced Ghost King is telling him that the Netherworld might actually give birth to the Five Elements Dao Spirits.

The Five Elements Dao Spirit naturally includes the Fire Dao Spirit, which is of great use to him.

"It is indeed the Five Elements Dao Spirit, but that Five Elements Secret Realm is still closed. When it opens, a large number of cultivators will surely enter it. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu is interested?"

The Green-Faced Ghost King laughed and said, "I have received news that the Five Elements Secret Realm has a cultivation restriction. Those at the sixth level and above cannot enter it, otherwise it will cause the secret realm to collapse, and no one will be able to obtain the treasures in the secret realm."

The Green-Faced Ghost King has now made many friends among the fifth-tier ghost cultivators. However, he has cooperated with Lu Cheng'an many times, and since Lu Cheng'an comes from the mortal world, he trusts Lu Cheng'an more than the cultivators in the Netherworld.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Cheng'an is strong enough.

He hadn't expected Lu Cheng'an's cultivation to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in such a short time. Given the strength Lu Cheng'an had previously displayed, even cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm were probably no match for him.

It will still be some time before the Five Elements Secret Realm opens, but he is confident that he can break through to the fifth-order perfection before the Five Elements Secret Realm opens.

If they enter the Five Elements Secret Realm together with Lu Cheng'an, their chances of seizing the Five Elements Dao Spirit within the realm are very high.

"Thank you for telling me this news, Fellow Daoist Green Face. I will enter the Five Elements Secret Realm with you!"

After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Cheng'an readily agreed.

The Dao Spirit is a rare and precious opportunity. Now that he knows of the existence of the Five Elements Dao Spirit, he will definitely try to seize it.

"I recently obtained a piece of fifth-grade superior Yin-Yang Xuan Iron. I wonder if it will still be of any use to Fellow Daoist Qingmian!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The fifth-grade superior Yin-Yang Black Iron is very valuable, but it has no effect on Lu Cheng'an.

He obtained this fifth-grade high-quality Yin-Yang Xuan Iron from Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren that day, mainly for the sake of the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

Currently, a large number of Lu family members are still in the Burial Ground of Immortals. If something happens to the Burial Ground of Immortals in the future, Lu Cheng'an will need the help of the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor to safely relocate the Lu family members out of the Burial Ground of Immortals.

Therefore, he now needs to work hard to maintain a friendly relationship with the Blue-Faced Ghost King. (End of Chapter)
