Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

“I’ve come here to take all the people of this tribe out. You two, gather them all at the mountain gate now.”

"I'm going to Yanzhou to investigate the situation now. After I return, I'll lead my people away!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

"Uncle Cheng'an, there are many clansmen here. Do you have a way to take them all away?" Lu Jinglin asked with great surprise.

"I recently acquired a secret realm in the endless void, and I will use it to take my people away."

After giving a brief explanation to Lu Jinglin and the other man, Lu Cheng'an headed straight for Yanzhou.

The space surrounding the Burial Ground of Immortals was not very large. Lu Cheng'an used his spatial folding technique and quickly arrived in Yanzhou.

"The spiritual energy concentration in Yanzhou has indeed increased, but the death energy here is also more concentrated than in other places!"

Upon arriving in Yanzhou, Lu Cheng'an immediately sensed the changes in the region.

He frowned deeply, pondering the ancient cultivators he had seen buried in the Immortal Burial Ground, trying to find the reason for the changes in the spiritual energy of Yanzhou.

"The ancient cultivators buried in the vast desert had their spiritual veins sealed away, and they relied on the power of those veins to survive for so many years!"

"The spiritual energy concentration in Yanzhou has increased, and it is also accompanied by death energy. Does this mean that a high-level cultivator died in the Vast Sea Desert, and the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins he sealed dissipated into Yanzhou, causing Yanzhou to give birth to two fifth-order spiritual veins!"

Once the idea popped into Lu Cheng'an's mind, he felt that his guess was very likely true.

If the dissipated spiritual energy alone could create two more fifth-order spiritual veins in Yanzhou, then the level of the collapsed spiritual vein must be more than just sixth-order. The spiritual veins in the Hanhai Desert that dissipated spiritual energy were very likely seventh or eighth-order spiritual veins.

"If that's the case, then this high-level spiritual vein should be deep within the Vast Sea Desert. It's possible that not only Yanzhou was nourished by this spiritual vein, but ancient cultivators in the Vast Sea Desert may also have received nourishment from this spiritual energy!"

As Lu Cheng'an pondered, his figure appeared on the edge of the vast desert. After hesitating for a while, he entered the desert directly.

He wanted to see if any ancient cultivators in the vast desert had been resurrected. These ancient cultivators might not have many cultivation resources left, but they did possess many precious scriptures.

Previously, Lu Cheng'an had obtained many precious books from the ancient cultivators he had killed, which greatly enhanced the Lu family's foundation.

"With my current strength, I am confident that I can escape even if I encounter a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm. The ancient cultivators buried on the outskirts of the Vast Sea Desert are mostly at the Nascent Soul Realm. As long as I am careful, I should not encounter any ancient cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm!"

Lu Cheng'an's feet were surrounded by swirling clouds. He entered the vast desert at a slow pace, riding the clouds above the desert and carefully observing its conditions.

Time passed slowly, and three hours quickly went by. By then, Lu Cheng'an had already ventured thousands of miles into the vast desert.

Perhaps influenced by that dissipated spiritual energy, the vast desert now has a bit more vitality than before.

"You were one of the cultivators who entered this place before. I never imagined that after so many years, your cultivation would have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Third Brother, there's no need to waste words with this little guy. Let's join forces to suppress him, and when Master wakes up, we can seize his body!"

…………

Suddenly, the yellow sand below Lu Cheng'an churned and a fierce wind raged. An extremely terrifying power surged out from the desert below, and in an instant, an array enveloped Lu Cheng'an.

"A top-grade fifth-tier trapping and killing formation!"

"Four ancient cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

A cold look appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face, and he instantly understood his current predicament.

The four ancient cultivators who surrounded and killed him must have come from the same sect, and this fifth-grade trapping formation was jointly presided over by the four of them.

These four individuals had all reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage, and the power they unleashed with that fifth-tier top-grade trapping and killing formation was far beyond the Nascent Soul stage.

However, they underestimated Lu Cheng'an, believing that he could not escape their control, so their attitude was relatively casual.

After Lu Cheng'an realized the situation of the four ancient cultivators, he immediately used the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal to attack one of them.

These ancient cultivators lived much longer than Lu Cheng'an, and they were probably all prodigies before entering the Burial Ground of Immortals.

However, there are differences even among geniuses, and Lu Cheng'an's strength surpasses theirs.

The strength of these four ancient cultivators was somewhat inferior to that of Lu Cheng'an, so the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal naturally had a great impact on them.

The ancient cultivator attacked by Lu Cheng'an lost control of his body instantly after being attacked by the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal.

At this moment, a streak of fiery red light shot out from behind Lu Cheng'an and quickly rushed into the body of the ancient cultivator.

This fiery red light was formed by Lu Cheng'an's "Golden Sparrow Born from a Sea of ​​Fire" divine power. This time, Lu Cheng'an once again mobilized the full power of the Dao Domain.

The ancient cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm didn't even have a chance to scream before Lu Cheng'an shattered his physical body and broke through his primordial spirit with the Fire Sea Golden Sparrow Divine Power.

That top-grade fifth-tier encirclement formation requires the combined efforts of these four ancient cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm to unleash its full power.

Now, Lu Cheng'an has swiftly killed one of the ancient cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, which can be considered as breaking a small part of that top-grade fifth-rank encirclement formation.

"This kid's strength is beyond our expectations. Let's join forces and suppress him as soon as possible to avoid any accidents!"

The leading ancient cultivator let out a cold shout and quickly attacked Lu Cheng'an.

They all comprehended the power of metal, and the supernatural abilities they practiced were all the same. The fifth-order top-grade formation was also a metal-attribute encirclement and killing formation.

Relying on the power of that formation, the strength of those three ancient cultivators was greatly enhanced.

With a thought, Lu Cheng'an released the companion of the Fire Dao Spirit in the Dao Domain, letting it deal with one of the ancient cultivators.

After refining many late-stage and perfect-stage Void Ancient Beasts, the companion creature of the Fire Dao Spirit has increased its power significantly, now surpassing many cultivators at the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

At least Lu Cheng'an felt that the four ancient cultivators who had reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage were no match for the fire-elemental spirit companions.

The moment Lu Cheng'an released the companion of the Fire Dao Spirit, he once again unleashed the Thousand Water Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal, attacking one of the ancient cultivators. The remaining three ancient cultivators were already on guard against Lu Cheng'an's strange attack methods. When the Thousand Water Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal landed on the ancient cultivator, they encountered some resistance, which made him realize the true nature of the divine abilities Lu Cheng'an was using.

"Be careful, senior brothers! This kid is using the Thousand Autumns Sect's time-manipulation technique, and he has cultivated it to a very high level!"

The moment the ancient cultivator's voice fell, he was inevitably affected by the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal, losing control of his body and primordial spirit.

Lu Cheng'an did not miss this opportunity. As a streak of fiery red light flew out from behind him, he relied on the divine power of the Golden Sparrow Born from the Sea of ​​Fire to kill another ancient cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

That top-grade fifth-tier encirclement formation required all four of them to unleash its full power. Now that two of them have been killed, the top-grade fifth-tier encirclement formation has been largely destroyed.

One of the remaining two was attacked by the companion of the Fire Dao Spirit. He was no match for the Fire Dao Spirit and was completely overwhelmed by it.

The remaining ancient cultivator glanced at Lu Cheng'an, then his body surged with golden light as he prepared to disappear back into the vast desert below.

Lu Cheng'an's strength far exceeded their expectations. He easily killed two of their companions within the formation and even released a peculiar firebird comparable to a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

He knew perfectly well that they were no match for Lu Cheng'an, and if he stayed any longer, he would surely be killed by Lu Cheng'an as well.
However, Lu Cheng'an did not give him that chance. In an instant, Lu Cheng'an unleashed the two supernatural powers, the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal.

The cultivator already knew that Lu Cheng'an was using the Qianqiu Sect's time-based divine ability, but although he knew the details of the ability, he had no way to resist it.

He only held on for a moment before his physical body and primordial spirit were controlled by the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal.

A moment later, as a streak of fiery red light swept through the ancient cultivator's body, his physical body and primordial spirit were destroyed at the same time.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell on the last ancient cultivator, who was currently being entangled by the companion of the Fire Dao Spirit.

There is a certain gap in strength between him and the Fire Dao Spirit Companion. If the fight lasts too long, he will definitely not be a match for the Fire Dao Spirit Companion.

However, he has only been fighting the companion of the Fire Dao Spirit for a short time, and he has not yet suffered any injuries.

After Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell on the ancient cultivator, he immediately used the two divine abilities, the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal.

The moment the ancient cultivator was controlled by these two supernatural powers, a flame spewed out from the mouth of the fire-path spirit companion, a flame formed from pure fire-path power.

After the ancient cultivator took the full force of the attack, his physical body and primordial spirit were severely damaged, but he did not die.

After stopping the fire-elemental spirit from launching another attack, Lu Cheng'an quickly formed a hand seal.

A chain shot out from Lu Cheng'an's hand, instantly binding the ancient cultivator's body tightly.

This chain was formed by Lu Cheng'an's spatial sealing technique, which is a sealing technique.

The ancient cultivator has already suffered severe injuries and is naturally unable to break free from the spatial sealing technique.

After sealing the last ancient cultivator, Lu Cheng'an immediately stored the companion of the Fire Dao Spirit into his Dao Domain and then left the Vast Sea Desert.

Lu Cheng'an did not go too far from the Han Hai Desert, but instead entered Yanzhou.

Tell me every detail of your situation!

Lu Cheng'an casually tossed the ancient cultivator to the ground, staring coldly at him as surging crimson flames erupted around him.

These flames contained extremely violent power, enough to threaten the life of that ancient cultivator.

The ancient cultivator felt a sense of fear upon sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from Lu Cheng'an.

He had witnessed Lu Cheng'an's ruthless methods, having already killed three of his fellow disciples. If he displeased Lu Cheng'an, he could be killed by him at any time.

This ancient cultivator had been buried in the Burial Ground of Immortals for so long, so he was naturally not a fierce person. After thinking for a moment, he began to answer Lu Cheng'an's question.

"I am Mao Zhengfeng, from the Jinhua Sect. The three you killed earlier were my fellow disciples..."

Mao Zhengfeng was genuinely afraid that Lu Cheng'an would kill him, so he answered all of Lu Cheng'an's questions without reservation. However, Lu Cheng'an was unsure whether everything Mao Zhengfeng said was true.

According to Mao Zhengfeng, he came from the Jinhua Sect, which was not weak and had several cultivators at the Refinement Void Realm.

Mao Zhengfeng and his three companions were fellow disciples. Their master, Xia Ang, was also buried in the vast desert, but had not yet awakened.

Xia Ang's cultivation level was at the late stage of the Refining Void Realm before his death. There are many cultivators with similar cultivation levels in the Burial Immortal Land.

Besides inquiring about Mao Zhengfeng's situation, Lu Cheng'an also asked Mao Zhengfeng about the reason why these cultivators existed in the Burial Ground of Immortals.

The reason is similar to what Lu Cheng'an found before: the cultivators in the Burial Grounds of Immortals, such as Mao Zhengfeng, are all people whose lifespans are about to run out.

Back then, several powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Realm who were nearing the end of their lifespan joined forces to create the Primordial Breath Burial Spirit Resurrection Array, attempting to live a second life.

Setting up the Yuanxi Rebirth Array requires consuming a large number of high-level spiritual veins in the Xuanchen Realm. These high-level spiritual veins are extremely important to the Xuanchen Realm. Once a large number of high-level spiritual veins are destroyed, it will cause a devastating blow to the Xuanchen Realm.

Therefore, after the actions of these cultivators were exposed, they were met with opposition from other cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm, and Mao Zhengfeng and the others were eventually permanently imprisoned in the Burial Immortal Land.

Although they did not live a second life through the Yuanxi Burial Spirit Resurrection Array, they did rely on this array to prolong their lives and are still alive today.

Lu Cheng'an also inquired about the anomalies in the Burial Grounds. Mao Zhengfeng wasn't entirely clear on this either. He had discussed it with his senior brother, and the anomalies currently occurring in the Burial Grounds were very likely due to the deaths of high-level cultivators deep within the Burial Grounds. This was quite similar to Lu Cheng'an's speculation.

Mao Zhengfeng's cultivation level was too low, and he was not very familiar with many things in the Burial Ground of Immortals. He was unable to answer many of the questions Lu Chengan asked.

"You said your master hasn't woken up yet. If I were to kill him now, would I have a chance to kill him?" Lu Cheng'an asked.

Mao Zhengfeng's master, Xia Ang, was at the late stage of the Refining Void Realm. Xia Ang was also the sect leader of the Jinhua Sect and carried all the sect's inherited scriptures and most precious treasures.

If he were killed, Lu Cheng'an would obtain a great many treasures. (End of Chapter)
