Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"We were lucky. When the Green-Faced Ghost King and I entered the Five Elements Secret Realm, we were the first to discover the Fire Dao Spirit. There were no other cultivators present at the time, and we obtained the Fire Dao Spirit smoothly with almost no trouble," Lu Cheng'an explained with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an did not explain that the Fire Dao Spirit was actively attracted. This was not because Lu Cheng'an did not trust Shi Ningyu, but because the matter was too surprising, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"The Green-Faced Ghost King encountered some trouble when he tried to seize the Wood Dao Spirit, but fortunately he succeeded in the end. Now he has returned. I think with the Green-Faced Ghost King's abilities, once he refines the power of the Wood Dao Spirit, it shouldn't be long before he breaks through to the sixth rank!"

In the Netherworld, the highest cultivation level a cultivator can reach is the seventh rank. If the Green-Faced Ghost King's cultivation can break through to the sixth rank, then he will be among the top cultivators in the Netherworld.

Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost King had a very close relationship. The stronger the Green-Faced Ghost King was, the better it was for Lu Cheng'an.

This is also why Lu Cheng'an spared no effort in helping the Green-Faced Ghost King seize the Wood Dao Spirit.

"I will go to the Golden Flame Sect later to cultivate diligently in the Fire Lake of the Golden Flame Sect, and strive to break through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

This was a plan he had devised after obtaining the Fire Dao Spirit.

The fire spirit he obtained was somewhat special; not only did it enter his Dao domain, but it also had a companion beast.

This meant he couldn't forcibly refine the Fire Dao Spirit, and the environment of Fire Dao Lake was more suitable for him to do so if he wanted to rely on the power of the Fire Dao Spirit to quickly improve his cultivation.

"My husband, you can focus on your cultivation. I will take good care of the clan's affairs!"

Shi Ningyu smiled slightly and said, "Jingkun and Brother Chengping have been setting up purification magic arrays at the gate of the Yuanshui Demon Sect. Now, the two fifth-grade top-quality purification magic arrays have been completed. They have sent a message saying that in at most another fifteen years, they will be able to purify all the demonic energy inside the gate of the Yuanshui Demon Sect!"

The demonic energy inside the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate was too dense. Even though Lu Jingkun and other fifth-tier spirit array masters used the power of their fifth-tier purification magic arrays to purify the demonic energy there, it still took a very long time.

"Fifteen years isn't too long. I will strive to break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage within fifteen years. At that time, I will rush back and move the family's mountain gate to the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate together with the other cultivators in the clan," Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an did not stay at Jin Ding Mountain for too long. After making arrangements with Shi Ningyu, he set off directly from Jin Ding Mountain towards Jin Yan Sect.

The Golden Flame Sect has a cultivator at the Refinement Realm, so even though Lu Cheng'an is currently very strong, there is still a huge gap between him and the Golden Flame Sect.

However, because Lu Cheng'an had previously demonstrated his talent and strength to the cultivators of the Golden Flame Sect at Fire Lake, and because it was Lu Cheng'an who led to the complete annihilation of the demonic cultivators in Qian Yuan Prefecture, Lu Cheng'an is now highly regarded by the Golden Flame Sect.

The Golden Flame Sect also hopes that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation can break through to the Refinement of Void realm. The stronger Lu Cheng'an is, the more pressure the Golden Flame Sect will be able to alleviate.

Therefore, after Lu Cheng'an sent a message to the cultivators of the Golden Flame Sect saying that he wanted to enter the Fire Path Lake for a period of seclusion, he quickly received the Golden Flame Sect's consent.

The distance between Lizhou, where the Golden Flame Sect is located, and Mengyuanzhou is not far. Lu Cheng'an's speed in using the spatial folding divine power is faster than that in using the teleportation array. Therefore, after leaving Jinding Mountain, he did not choose to use the teleportation array, but instead traveled directly using the spatial folding divine power.

Lu Cheng'an had already made arrangements with the cultivators of the Golden Flame Sect before setting off, so he did not rush to the Golden Flame Sect's mountain gate, but went directly to Fire Path Lake.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Fellow Daoist Lu. I'm afraid your cultivation level is not far from breaking through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm!" Elder Xinyan said with a smile.

"I traveled to the Endless Void some time ago and obtained a spiritual item there that could improve my cultivation. That's why my cultivation level improved rapidly in a short period of time."

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for Elder Xin Yan's help, which allowed me to enter the Fire Path Lake to cultivate."

The only person Lu Cheng'an had any dealings with in the Golden Flame Sect was Elder Xin Yan, a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. It was Elder Xin Yan's help that allowed him to enter the Fire Path Lake for cultivation so smoothly.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is too kind. You previously led the cultivators of the three states of Mengyuan to annihilate the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan State, which also provided great assistance to my Golden Flame Sect!"

"Besides, you paid a fee to enter the Fire Path Lake for cultivation this time, so I didn't actually help you much!"

Elder Xinyan smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu, the Xuan Chen Realm may be about to become turbulent. You should strive to improve your cultivation!"

"May I ask Elder Xinyan what might happen in the Xuan Chen Realm next?" Lu Cheng'an asked quickly.

"I don't know much about it either, but I heard from the sect's Grand Elder that the demonic cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm might make some unusual moves!"

Elder Xin Yan frowned deeply and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, your cultivation talent is outstanding and your strength is formidable. I hope that your cultivation can be improved further. This will not only greatly enhance your ability to protect yourself, but also provide more assistance to our Golden Flame Sect."

The Golden Flame Sect highly recognizes Lu Cheng'an's strength, after all, Lu Cheng'an had previously annihilated the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.

If Lu Cheng'an's cultivation were to break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, then there might be no cultivator in the Nascent Soul realm who could be his match.

The demonic sect that the Golden Flame Sect faced was the Blood River Demonic Sect, whose strength was far greater than that of the Golden Flame Sect.

If the demonic cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm were to make any unusual moves, the Golden Flame Sect would face a great threat.

Lu Cheng'an is extremely powerful. If his cultivation can successfully break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, then he can indeed provide assistance to the Golden Flame Sect.

"I still have matters to attend to in the sect and cannot stay at Fire Lake for too long. I have already made arrangements with the cultivators in the sect who are guarding Fire Lake. Fellow Daoist Lu, please go directly to Fire Lake to cultivate now!" Elder Xin Yan said with a smile.

Elder Xinyan's main purpose in coming to Huodao Lake was to see Lu Cheng'an.

He wasn't lying; he did indeed have some sect affairs to handle and couldn't stay here for too long.

"Elder Xinyan, you are so kind as to make this special trip for me!"

Lu Cheng'an watched Elder Xin Yan's departing figure, then turned and entered the Fire Path Lake.

Elder Xinyan had already made arrangements. After entering the Fire Path Lake, Lu Cheng'an was led by cultivators arranged by Elder Xinyan to a fire spring with extremely rich fire power. This was the cultivation place that Elder Xinyan had arranged for Lu Cheng'an.

"Since I obtained the Fire Dao Spirit in the secret realm, I haven't had a chance to properly observe what's special about it. Now I finally have the time!"

Lu Cheng'an sat cross-legged beside the fire spring, forming a hand seal in his hand, and quickly immersed his mind in the Dao Domain.

Within the Dao Domain, the Fire Dao Spirit still resides on that fifth-grade top-quality Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood. In fact, both the Fire Dao Spirit and the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood naturally carry the power of the Fire Dao.

Now, the Fire Dao Spirit resides atop the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood, and the Fire Dao power they originally carried seems to be merging. Lu Cheng'an silently senses this change, while simultaneously urging the power of his own Dao Domain to merge with these two Fire Dao powers.

He has now given up on the idea of ​​integrating the Fire Dao Spirit into his own Dao Domain.

The Fire Dao Spirit may have come from his special physique, but if he tries to forcibly refine the Fire Dao Spirit, it will inevitably provoke the Fire Dao Spirit's resistance.

The fire spirit in his Dao Domain is not only a fire spirit, but also has a powerful companion beast.

If the Fire Dao Spirit resists, its companion beast will definitely launch a desperate attack.

With Lu Cheng'an's current strength, forcibly suppressing the companion beast of the Fire Dao Spirit is not a particularly difficult task.

Lu Cheng'an didn't want to do that, because he wanted to try to get the Fire Dao Spirit's companion beast to do things according to its instructions.

If he can do that, he will have another powerful henchman at his disposal.

Lu Cheng'an is not currently working towards that goal. He is simply observing the fire elemental power contained within the fire elemental spirit, hoping to quickly improve his understanding of the fire elemental.

Cultivation knows no time; five years passed in the blink of an eye.

Fire Lake, beside the fire spring where Lu Cheng'an cultivates.

"For the past five years, I have been studying the Fire Dao Spirit. It was indeed the right choice not to forcibly refine the Fire Dao Spirit before. Now, the Fire Dao Spirit has been integrated with my Dao Domain."

"This fire elemental spirit is in my Dao Domain, constantly enhancing the power of my Dao Domain, and it can also enhance my understanding of the power of the fire element."

"The current range of the Dao Domain has reached 1,996 zhang, and it is only 4 zhang away from reaching 2,000 zhang!"

The Dao Domain of two thousand feet is a threshold. Generally, only when a cultivator's cultivation breaks through to the Refining Void Realm can their Dao Domain cross this limit.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary cultivators; those with exceptional talent are often able to cross this threshold at the Nascent Soul stage.

Jiang Li, whom Lu Cheng'an encountered in the endless void, possessed a Dao Domain of over 2,300 zhang at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

"This four-zhang range isn't very large, but it will be extremely difficult to expand it further. It's very likely that only by raising one's cultivation to the perfect Nascent Soul realm can this breakthrough be achieved!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. In the past five years, he had expanded his Dao Domain at a relatively fast pace by relying on the power of the Fire Dao Spirit.

However, it seems that he has reached a limit now. Even with the power of the Fire Dao Spirit, it is now difficult for him to further increase the range of his Dao Domain.

"If I try again and expand my Dao Domain to two thousand feet before my cultivation reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, then once my cultivation reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, my understanding of the Dao of Fire and the expansion of my Dao Domain will definitely be even greater."

After considering it over, Lu Cheng'an suppressed his desire to improve his cultivation and instead continued to comprehend the power of the Fire Dao Spirit.

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

"The Dao Domain has finally reached a range of two thousand zhang!"

Beside the fire spring, a clear look of joy appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. It had taken him five years to increase the range of his fire domain by four zhang.

However, after experiencing the changes brought about by the expansion of his Dao Domain to two thousand feet, he felt that all his efforts over the past five years had been worthwhile.

"No wonder many cultivators can only break through the two-thousand-zhang barrier in their Dao Domain when they reach the Refinement Void Realm. This is because, in addition to having a deep understanding of the power of the Great Dao, cultivators also need the power to control such a large Dao Domain!"

Lu Cheng'an can now feel the immense power contained within his own Dao Domain, but this powerful Dao Domain has brought him some burdens.

If he were to activate the power of his Dao Domain to fight now, it would cause him great depletion.

With his current cultivation level, he simply cannot sustain a battle for too long.

Of course, if he were to unleash the full power of his Dao Domain to fight others, although he could not fight for too long, there would be very few cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm who could defeat him.

"Now that the Dao Domain has reached two thousand feet in size, there's no need to continue focusing on increasing its power. Instead, I need to work hard to raise my cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!"

Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level didn't improve much in the past ten years, but his understanding of the Dao of Fire deepened considerably, allowing his Dao Domain to reach a range of two thousand feet.

This is extremely beneficial for his cultivation to break through to the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

It can be said that the barrier that was preventing Lu Cheng'an from breaking through from the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the perfect Nascent Soul realm has now been completely broken. Lu Cheng'an only needs to cultivate step by step, and his cultivation will soon be able to break through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm.

After considering it over in his mind, Lu Cheng'an took out a pill from his storage ring, swallowed it, and began to work hard to improve his cultivation.

The pills that Lu Cheng'an took were of the highest grade of the fifth rank. These were specifically designed to help cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage improve their cultivation, and their medicinal properties were relatively strong.

This kind of pill is very difficult to refine. Although Shi Ningyu's pill refining skills have reached the fifth-grade top level, she still cannot refine a pill of this quality.

The pills that Lu Cheng'an is currently taking were obtained from the Demon Hunter Ranking using Demon Hunter Points.

Not only is the Fire Path Lake rich in fire energy, but its spiritual energy is also extremely abundant, making it an ideal environment for cultivators to practice.

Cultivation knows no time; seven years passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Cheng'an has been cultivating in the Fire Path Lake for seventeen years, but his cultivation has not yet broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, which is somewhat different from the time Lu Cheng'an originally estimated.

At the same time, the Golden Flame Sect.

"Supreme Elder, you must be joking. You want me to inform the Lu family cultivators to move out of the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate?" Elder Xin Yan exclaimed in surprise. (End of Chapter)
