Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"It's been a long time since I've seen Fellow Daoist Lu. Congratulations on your breakthrough to the Perfect Nascent Soul stage!"

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an, Jiang Li's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile, and she quickly went to Lu Cheng'an's side.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jiang, on breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled respectfully and said directly, "I came to the Endless Void specifically to seek Fellow Daoist Jiang's help. Not long ago, I received news that Zhao Wuji and his son Zhao Tianlin were preparing to settle in Qian Yuan Prefecture, where our Lu family is located. They..."

"Does Fellow Daoist Jiang know of Zhao Wuji and his son? Could you please help our Lu family protect that mountain gate?"

Lu Cheng'an told Jiang Li in great detail about what his family was going through, while carefully observing Jiang Li's reaction.

He was certain that Jiang Li knew about the existence of Zhao Wuji and his son, and that Jiang Li and Zhao Wuji and his son definitely had some old grudges.

"Zhao Wuji, Zhao Tianlin, I was just looking for them!"

A cold smile appeared on Jiang Li's face: "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Lu, I was seriously injured and chased here before. Zhao Wuji and his son were involved in this, and the mastermind behind it is Ban Yao's master, Daoist Qiushui!"

"Qiushui Daojun's cultivation is at the late stage of the Dao Integration stage. She has an old grudge against my master, Linyuan Daojun. Her attempt to kill me behind my back was mainly to take revenge on my master!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, there is no need to worry about Zhao Wuji and his son. After I have completely taken over this waterway secret realm, I will leave from the endless void with you. At that time, I will personally finish off Zhao Wuji and his son."

"However, after leaving the endless void, Fellow Daoist Lu would be best off not to have any further contact with me. Otherwise, given Daoist Qiushui's nature, there is a very high chance that she will attack you!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation has now broken through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm. I told you before that I discovered a region in the endless void that might give birth to a Fire Spirit. I may not have time to go with you to capture the Fire Spirit. Now I will tell you the location of the Fire Spirit."

As Jiang Li spoke, she took out a jade slip from her storage ring and continued, "This jade slip records the possible location of the Fire Dao Spirit. When Fellow Daoist Lu has time, you can go and find it on your own. With Fellow Daoist Lu's strength, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for you to seize the Fire Dao Spirit."

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Jiang!" Lu Cheng'an said sincerely, and then immediately put away the jade slip.

He now has a Fire Dao Spirit in his Dao Domain, along with its companion beast.

However, this Fire Dao Spirit was born in the Netherworld. Although it also contains the power of the Fire Dao, this power of the Fire Dao is wrapped with some attributes of the Netherworld.

After Lu Cheng'an's cultivation advanced from the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the perfect Nascent Soul realm, the power of the Fire Dao Spirit had an increasingly greater influence on Lu Cheng'an's Dao Domain power.

Lu Cheng'an now senses that the fire spirit originating from the Netherworld might have some negative effects on him.

Perhaps because he has only had the Fire Dao Spirit for a relatively short time, the negative effects have not yet manifested.

However, he had a feeling that if this situation remained the same when his cultivation level broke through to the Void Refinement Realm, then a huge problem would definitely arise when he broke through to the Void Refinement Realm.

This time, he came to the endless void to find Jiang Li not only to resolve the matter of Zhao Wuji and his son, but also to inquire about the location of the Fire Dao Spirit that Jiang Li had mentioned before.

Before Lu Cheng'an could even speak, Jiang Li had already told him the news.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, is there anything I can help you with in taking over this waterway secret realm?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a smile.

"No need for that. Fellow Daoist Lu mainly cultivates the Dao of Fire. If you lend a hand, it's very likely to make me busier and busier!"

Jiang Li smiled slightly and said, "I have now reached the final stage of taking over this waterway secret realm. It shouldn't be long before I can completely take over this waterway secret realm."

After exchanging words with Lu Cheng'an, Jiang Li re-entered the secret waterway.

Lu Cheng'an did not enter the waterway secret realm, but waited outside Black Ruins Lake for Jiang Li to completely take over the waterway secret realm.

Although Jiang Li had reached the crucial moment of completely taking possession of the waterway secret realm, it would still take him quite some time to do so.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Jiang Li still hadn't emerged from that waterway secret realm, which proved that Jiang Li still hadn't taken possession of it.

Meanwhile, in the endless void, in Qian Yuan Prefecture, Zhao Wuji and his son had already arrived.

The group that came to Qianyuan Prefecture this time included not only Zhao Wuji and his son, but also Ban Yao, who was about to become Zhao Tianlin's Daoist partner, as well as cultivators at the Refinement Realm from the Jin Yan Sect and two other families within the prefecture.

The cultivators at the Refinement Realm from the Golden Flame Sect and the other two families were not there for Zhao Wuji and his son. After all, only Zhao Wuji among the father and son had reached the Refinement Realm, and even then, he was only at the early stage of the Refinement Realm.

The reason why the cultivators at the Refinement Realm from the three families of the Golden Flame Sect came to Qianyuan Prefecture was mainly because of Ban Yao.

Ban Yao was born into the Xuan Chen Sect, and her father's cultivation had reached the peak of the Refining Void Realm.

Such strength already places them among the top cultivators in Lizhou.

Ban Yao's background is not only that. In addition to her father's cultivation reaching the peak of the Refining Void Realm, she also has a master who is in the late stage of the Harmony Realm. Such a background cannot help but make the cultivators of the three states of the Golden Flame Sect take it seriously.

"Fellow Daoists Ban and Zhao, this is the location of the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate. Are you three satisfied with what you see?" Li Zhuyun asked with a smile.

The cultivator at the Refinement Realm that the Golden Flame Sect sent this time was Li Zhuyun, who was in the middle stage of the Refinement Realm. The reason why the Golden Flame Sect sent Li Zhuyun was because he was quite familiar with the Lu family and the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate.

"This place is alright, I guess!"

Ban Yao quickly surveyed the area inside the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate, then frowned and said, "The spiritual energy here is still quite abundant, but why is there not a single spiritual object growing in such a place? Has this place been plundered by cultivators?"

“Fellow Daoist Ban, you may not know this, but this place was originally the mountain gate of the Yuan Shui Demon Sect. The demonic energy here is very strong. The demonic energy here has only recently been purified, so no spiritual creatures have been born here yet!” Li Zhuyun explained with a smile.

Ban Yao glanced at Li Zhuyun indifferently; she was not entirely satisfied with the answer.

Even though the demonic energy within the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate has just been purified, the abundance of spiritual energy means that there will still be spiritual beings present here.

However, since Li Zhuyun's cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Void Refining Realm, even if he intentionally showed favoritism, she would no longer hold it against him.

"I see!"

Ban Yao glanced at Li Zhuyun indifferently and then said nothing more.

Li Zhuyun breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ban Yao's reaction.

The demonic energy within the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate was painstakingly purified by the Lu family cultivators, and now it has been forcibly seized by Zhao Wuji and his son, causing the Lu family a great loss. If Ban Yao were to cause further trouble for the Lu family over such a trivial matter, the Lu family would truly be in deep trouble.

Zhao Wuji and his son were fairly satisfied with the situation inside the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, except that there was no sixth-order spiritual vein inside the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate.

Zhao Wuji's cultivation level is at the early stage of the Void Refining Realm. If he wants to cultivate smoothly here, he still needs to cultivate a sixth-order spiritual vein within the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's mountain gate.

Cultivating a sixth-order spiritual vein is much more difficult than cultivating a fifth-order spiritual vein, and it also requires a large amount of resources.

Zhao Wuji and his son did not discuss these matters with Li Zhuyun and the other Void Refinement Realm cultivators from Lizhou. After they settled down inside the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, Li Zhuyun and the other Void Refinement Realm cultivators from Lizhou wisely left.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, what do you think Zhao Wuji and his son's purpose is? Given their relationship with the Xuan Chen Sect, why would they come to a small place like Qian Yuan Prefecture?" Qian Sanyuan frowned.

Qian Sanyuan is a cultivator in the Refinement Realm of the Lingxu Sect in Lizhou. His cultivation level is the same as Li Zhuyun's, both in the mid-stage of the Refinement Realm.

"Fellow Daoists, please avoid too much contact with Zhao Wuji and his son. Their presence here, along with Ban Yao, may be related to internal conflicts among the Xuan Chen Sect cultivators. If we get involved, we will definitely suffer heavy losses!" Hu Yunxin said in a deep voice.

Hu Yunxin is a cultivator at the Refinement Realm of the Hu Clan of Yuqiu in Lizhou. Her cultivation level is also at the mid-stage of the Refinement Realm.

The Yuqiu Hu Clan is the weakest of the three Void Refinement Realm forces in Lizhou, with a total of five Void Refinement Realm cultivators.

However, the Hu clan of Yuqiu has close ties with the Qinghua Sect of Dongji Prefecture. Although the Hu clan of Yuqiu is the weakest, they are the most well-informed.

"Thank you for informing us, Fellow Daoist Hu. We know what to do!"

Li Zhuyun and Qian Sanyuan's expressions changed drastically. They never expected that Zhao Wuji and his son would have such a purpose in coming to Qianyuan Prefecture.

Hu Yunxin did not elaborate on the internal conflicts within the Xuanchen Sect. Although Li Zhuyun and Qian Sanyuan were curious, they did not ask too many questions.

Because this matter involves the Xuanchen Sect, a super power in the Xuanchen Realm, it's best for them not to inquire too much about this kind of news, otherwise it might bring them trouble.

After exchanging words, Li Zhuyun and the other two headed towards Lizhou together.

After Li Zhuyun and the other two left the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, Zhao Wuji and his son, along with Ban Yao, entered the depths of the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate.

"Ah Yao, is it really possible that Jiang Li will appear here?" Zhao Tianlin asked, frowning.

"This matter was deduced by my master, so there shouldn't be any problems. Let's wait here for a while and secretly search for Jiang Li's whereabouts. Once we find him, we'll immediately strike and kill him!" Ban Yao said coldly.

Their main purpose in coming to Qian Yuan Prefecture was to find Jiang Li, because according to the information they had, Jiang Li was not far from the boundary passage of the prefecture when she last appeared in the endless void.

Afterwards, Ban Yao's master, Daojun Qiushui, made a special deduction and deduced that after Jiang Li returned to the Xuanchen Realm from the boundary passage of Lizhou, she would most likely appear in Qianyuanzhou.

As for the fact that Zhao Wuji and his son have occupied the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate, it is not something they did intentionally. Rather, they simply needed a suitable place to stay, and the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate was the best choice.

Meanwhile, at the Lu family council hall on Jinding Mountain.

"I just received news from the Golden Flame Sect that Zhao Wuji and his son have entered Qianyuan Prefecture and settled in the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate!" Shi Ningyu said in a deep voice.

After entering the endless void, Lu Cheng'an handed over the magical artifact used to communicate with the Golden Flame Sect to Shi Ningyu for safekeeping.

During this time, Shi Ningyu also kept communicating with Elder Xinyan of the Golden Flame Sect, inquiring about news about Zhao Wuji and his son.

The Golden Flame Sect did not hide this matter from the Lu family. Therefore, not long after Zhao Wuji and his son entered Qianyuan Prefecture, Elder Xinyan sent a message to inform the Lu family of this news.

"They arrived in Qianyuan Prefecture so quickly!"

"It's been a year since Uncle Cheng'an left. I wonder how he's doing now?"

"What should we do now? Should we do something?"

…………

Lu Jingkun and the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lu family began to discuss what the Lu family should do next.

"I have already communicated with the cultivators of the Cloud Sea Sect and other sects. We should not do anything for the time being, and wait and see the attitude of Zhao Wuji and his son before making any decisions!" Shi Ningyu said in a deep voice.

After such a long time, the news that Zhao Wuji and his son had gone to the Yuanshui Demon Sect's mountain gate also became known to the Yunhai Sect and other sects.

They even inquired about the Lu family's situation, but at that time Lu Cheng'an had already entered the endless void, and Shi Ningyu was in charge of contacting sects such as the Cloud Sea Sect.

Zhao Wuji's cultivation level was at the early stage of the Refining Void Realm, far surpassing that of the cultivators in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture.

Now that he has taken up residence in Qianyuan Prefecture, cultivators from the three prefectures of Mengyuan Prefecture should take the initiative to pay their respects to Zhao Wuji, a cultivator at the Refinement Realm.

However, the cultivators from Yunhai Sect and the other three states of Mengyuan Prefecture also had some concerns, because they did not know Zhao Wuji well and they worried that if they visited him rashly, it might displease Zhao Wuji.

Therefore, the cultivators of the three sects of Yunhai Sect held a special discussion on what to do, and Shi Ningyu was also in charge of the discussion for the Lu family.

Before Lu Cheng'an returned from the Endless Void, the Lu family did not want to have any dealings with Zhao Wuji and his son. Therefore, Shi Ningyu's attitude was not to take the initiative to visit Zhao Wuji and his son.

The Lu family now holds a very high position in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture, and their intentions have influenced the decisions of sects such as Yunhai Sect.

After careful discussion, they decided not to visit Zhao Wuji and his son for the time being, as they wanted to check on their situation further.

At the same time, in the endless void of the Black Ruins Lake.

Lu Cheng'an has been waiting here for a year, but Jiang Li still hasn't been able to successfully collect the waterway secret realm.

Lu Cheng'an focused on his cultivation near the waterway secret realm while keeping a close eye on its situation.

As a violent roar suddenly erupted from the waterway secret realm, Lu Cheng'an immediately stopped cultivating and flew away in a direction far from the secret realm.

"With this commotion, Jiang Li is about to successfully claim this waterway secret realm!" Lu Cheng'an exclaimed in surprise. (End of Chapter)
