Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

It took Mao Zhengfeng more than a month to complete the Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array. After the array was formed, the spiritual energy nurtured in the sixth-order spiritual vein was drawn out by the Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array and continuously dissipated outward.

If this continues, the grade of this sixth-order spiritual vein will drop until all the spiritual energy contained within it is completely depleted.

The spiritual energy in this sixth-order spiritual vein has begun to thin out. Even without the Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array, the grade of the spiritual vein will slowly decline.

The Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array will accelerate this process, and it won't be long before the Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array's grade drops to the fifth level!
After setting up the Light Flood Spirit-Draining Array, Mao Zhengfeng quickly left the location of the sixth-order spiritual vein and returned to Lu Cheng'an's side.

“Fellow Daoist, I have completed the Light Flood Spirit Dissipation Array. Judging from the current situation, it will take about five years for that spiritual vein to drop to the fifth rank!” Mao Zhengfeng said with a frown.

If the power of the Light Flood Spirit-Draining Array is fully activated, Mao Zhengfeng is confident that he can reduce the grade of that sixth-order spiritual vein to fifth-order within half a year.

However, this would inevitably alert Xia Ang.

"It will take five years!"

Lu Cheng'an glanced at Mao Zhengfeng, then quickly formed a magic seal in his hand, sealing Mao Zhengfeng completely once again.

Five years is not a short time; it's enough for him to do a lot.

Lu Cheng'an glanced at Xia Ang's hiding place, then flew away from the Vast Desert and quickly returned to his family's mountain gate in the Hong'e Mountains.

"Let's suppress them under this sacred peak first, and then deal with this matter after we've evacuated all our clansmen!"

Lu Cheng'an left the completely sealed Mao Zhengfeng in an inconspicuous spiritual peak inside the family's mountain gate. He then placed multiple layers of seals on Mao Zhengfeng and the spiritual peak to ensure that Mao Zhengfeng would not escape after he left.

After doing all this, Lu Cheng'an called Lu Jinglin and his sister to his cave.

"Have all the clansmen been summoned back to the mountain gate?" Lu Cheng'an asked.

"As instructed by Uncle Cheng'an, I have summoned all three hundred million mortals, three hundred and sixty thousand Qi Refining cultivators, twenty thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, one thousand eight hundred Golden Core cultivators, and one hundred Nascent Soul cultivators to the family's mountain gate!" Lu Jinglin replied.

Although the Burial Grounds of Immortals pose a threat due to the ancient cultivators buried in the Vast Desert, the states of Qing and He have remained very peaceful in recent years, with no wars or conflicts occurring.

The Lu family is now the most powerful cultivation force in the entire Burial Immortal Land, so the speed of its development is extremely fast.

The Lu family now has 300 million mortal members!
Ordinary people are the foundation of cultivators, because cultivators are born from ordinary people. The more ordinary people there are, the more cultivators will be born.

"Take me to see them now!"

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly, and soon went with Lu Jinglin and his sister to the place where the Lu family's mortal clansmen and Lu family cultivators were located.

Because of Xia Ang, Lu Cheng'an wanted to leave with his clansmen from the Burial Immortal Land as soon as possible.

At that time, no matter what happens in the Burial Ground of Immortals, he will no longer have any worries.

The members of the Lu family had all been summoned to the mountain gate by Lu Jinglin and his sister, who also told them what Lu Chengan was going to do next.

Therefore, after seeing these members of the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an did not offer much explanation. He simply activated the power of the secret realm within the Dao Domain to bring the clansmen from the mountain gate into the secret realm.

Lu Cheng'an first recruited ordinary members of the Lu family. The number of ordinary members of the Lu family is enormous, exceeding three hundred million.

However, the power contained within these mortal beings was extremely weak. Even if all of them were combined, they would not be as powerful as Mao Zhengfeng, a cultivator who had previously reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an had already verified this before, so he wasn't particularly surprised.

After Lu Cheng'an gathered the mortal clansmen into the secret realm, he activated the power of the secret realm to envelop the Qi Refining cultivators in the clan, and then gathered all 360,000 Qi Refining cultivators into the secret realm.

The power within a Qi Refining Realm cultivator is significantly greater than that of an ordinary person, but the amount of power contained within them is still not much.

Even after these 360,000 Qi Refining Realm cultivators entered the secret realm, they still did not put any pressure on Lu Cheng'an.

The Lu family has over 20,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators and over 1,800 Golden Core cultivators.

The power contained within the bodies of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages is far greater than that of cultivators at the Qi Refining stage. After Lu Cheng'an brought all the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stage cultivators in his clan into the secret realm, he felt some pressure, but fortunately, he had not yet reached his limit.

However, he did not take any more Nascent Soul cultivators from his clan into the secret realm. Instead, he took in cultivators from the Spirit Clam Clan, the Mineral-Eating Spirit Clan, and other clans into the secret realm.

Their numbers are not large, and only a few have reached the fourth rank.

Even if they were all taken into the secret realm, it wouldn't put too much pressure on Lu Cheng'an.

"The secret realm can only accommodate a limited number of people. You will all come with me to the Nether River Region, and I will take you away directly!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

The Lu family has quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators; currently, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Burial Immortal Land sect has reached just over a hundred.

Nearly half of these Nascent Soul cultivators were promoted later in their cultivation, and many of them possessed exceptional talent.

Before Lu Cheng'an obtained the secret realm, he had led the cultivators of his clan into the Netherworld and then to the Xuan Chen Realm.

Now that his cultivation has broken through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm, the Green-Faced Ghost King has occupied the three places of Yanluo Palace, Zijin Valley and Luofeng City in the Netherworld, and his status in the Netherworld is getting higher and higher.

Now that Lu Cheng'an has led the Nascent Soul cultivators of his clan into the Netherworld, he basically doesn't need to worry about any unexpected situations.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family naturally dared not question Lu Cheng'an's decision. Led by Lu Cheng'an, they left the family's mountain gate and headed towards the Nether River.

Lu Cheng'an summoned a spaceship, a small magical artifact spaceship, which reached the fifth-tier top grade and could accommodate a hundred people.

If this top-grade fifth-tier magic weapon spaceship were to be fully activated, its speed would be comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The number of Nascent Soul cultivators who accompanied Lu Cheng'an to the Nether River region reached over a hundred. Since it was inconvenient for Lu Cheng'an to use his spatial folding ability to travel, he brought out this fifth-grade top-quality magic weapon spaceship.

The area surrounding the Burial Ground of Immortals was not vast. Lu Chengan fully propelled his fifth-grade magic weapon spaceship to travel, and it did not take long for him to reach the Netherworld River Region.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family also knew some of the clan's secrets, and they were not unfamiliar with this Netherworld River region.

"The Netherworld lies beneath this Netherworld River. Keep this bead with you; it can help you resist the invasion of the Netherworld's energy!" Lu Cheng'an reached out and grabbed, and the dense pure Yang Heavenly Fire condensed into a fire bead, turning into specks of spiritual light that fell into the hands of the Lu family's Nascent Soul cultivators.

Previously, when he led the cultivators of his clan into the Netherworld, he needed to refine magical artifacts to resist the invasion of Netherworld energy, but now he doesn't need to go through that trouble.

He could use the fire pearls he casually condensed with pure Yang Heavenly Fire to resist the invasion of Netherworld Qi, and the effect was even better than the magic artifacts he had specially crafted before.

"The Netherworld is unlike any other place; it is extremely dangerous. Once you enter the Netherworld, you will obey my orders in everything you do!"

After giving some instructions in a deep voice, Lu Cheng'an put away the magical flying ship and then took the lead in entering the Netherworld River.

The Netherworld River is also inhabited by Netherworld spirits such as Hei Yang's younger brother, but the gap in strength between them and Lu Cheng'an is widening.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an specifically instructed that unless he specifically summoned them, these ghostly beings living in the Netherworld River Basin did not need to show themselves on their own.

Although the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family had heard of the Nether River Domain, this was their first time entering it, and they were quite curious about what was happening inside.

However, they dared not do anything out of line, and closely followed Lu Cheng'an's footsteps as they dived down into the Netherworld River.

The passage between the two realms below the Nether River has now become very stable. Lu Cheng'an was the first to pass through the passage and enter the Nether River City below.

He did not allow Lu Jinglin and the others to enter the Netherworld directly; he needed to ensure its safety first.

When he left the Netherworld, the Green-Faced Ghost King had just killed cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm from Yanluo Palace, Zijin Valley, and Luofeng City.

It hasn't been long since he left the Netherworld, and he's worried that something dangerous might happen in Qingluo City again.

After entering Youhe City, Lu Cheng'an immediately sent a message to the Green-Faced Ghost King, and then inquired about Hei Yang's current situation in the Netherworld.

Hei Yang's cultivation has reached the fifth level, and there are quite a few cultivators in Youhe City who have reached the fourth level. Youhe City's strength is not weak now.

When Lu Cheng'an left Youhe City, he instructed Hei Yang to keep an eye on the situation in Qingluo City and the vicinity of Youhe City.

"No powerful cultivators have appeared near Youhe City. However, after Qingmian killed the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny and other fifth-order perfect realm cultivators from Yanluo Palace, Qingluo City has now attracted the attention of quite a few cultivators..."

The fifth-order perfect realm cultivators like the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny reached this realm much earlier than the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor. Since they were all killed by the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor, they naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators.

However, they were afraid of the terrifying power displayed by the Green-Faced Ghost King and did not do anything.

Moreover, the Green-Faced Ghost King only killed the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny and a few other cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm. Although the strength of the Smoke Palace, Purple Gold Valley, and Falling Wind City was weakened considerably, what remained was still a very powerful force.

For this reason, although Qingluo City, Yanluo Palace, Zijin Valley, and Luofeng City are being eyed by many cultivators, none of these cultivators have taken any action.

With Lu Cheng'an's help, the Green-Faced Ghost King killed the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny and other cultivators, and soon released the cultivators from Yanluo Palace, Zijin Valley and Luofeng City to leave Qingluo City.

After that, he did not rush to take over the territory of the three families of Yanluo Palace, but instead began to cultivate in seclusion.

The Green-Faced Ghost King's cultivation had not been at the fifth-order perfect realm for very long. Even though he obtained the Wood Dao Spirit, it was not an easy task for him to take the opportunity to break through to the sixth order.

Crimson Smoke Witch and other cultivators were able to deduce that he might have obtained the Wood Dao Spirit, but other cultivators might find out about this soon.

The best way to resolve this hidden danger is for his cultivation level to break through to the sixth rank.

Even if he were to leak the information about the Wood Dao Spirit, there would be very few cultivators in the Netherworld who would dare to attack him for it.

Not long after Lu Cheng'an learned about the Netherworld from Hei Yang, he received a message from the Green-Faced Ghost King.

The message from the Green-Faced Ghost King was similar to what Hei Yang had told Lu Cheng'an, but it was more detailed.

The Green-Faced Ghost King assured Lu Cheng'an that he could go to Qingluo City without worry, assuring him that there would be no danger.

The Green-Faced Ghost King has now fully recovered from his injuries. After a life-or-death struggle with the Crimson Smoke Ghost Granny and other cultivators at the fifth-order perfect realm, his strength has now advanced even further.

After receiving the message from the Green-Faced Ghost King, Lu Cheng'an dispelled his doubts.

He once again crossed the interdimensional passage into the Netherworld River, bringing Lu Jinglin and all the other Lu family cultivators into the Netherworld.

Lu Cheng'an did not waste any time. After Lu Jinglin and the other cultivators entered the Nether River region, Lu Cheng'an had Ghost Wood Demon King, Yin Bamboo Ghost King and other cultivators at the fourth-order perfect realm from Nether River City lead the way to Qingluo City.

Even though Lu Cheng'an had already inquired about the current situation in Qingluo City, he was still somewhat uneasy.

This time, he led more than a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators from his clan into the Netherworld. If this news were to leak out, it would definitely cause great trouble.

Yinzhu Ghost King and Ghostwood Demon King are genuine cultivators from the Netherworld. With them as cover, the identities of the Lu family cultivators can be better concealed.

The distance between Youhe City and Qingluo City is not close. In the Netherworld, Lu Cheng'an dared not use the fifth-grade top-quality flying treasure ship, which was too obvious a magic weapon from the mortal world. He could only rely on the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family to travel on their own, which slowed down the journey considerably.

Fortunately, the journey went relatively smoothly. Although they encountered some cultivators from the Netherworld along the way, the presence of cultivators at the fourth-order perfect realm, such as Yinzhu Ghost King and Ghostwood Demon King, provided cover, and the whereabouts of the Lu family cultivators were not exposed.

Lu Cheng'an finally breathed a sigh of relief after secretly leading a group of Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lu family into Qingluo City.

Without wasting any time, he immediately ordered the Green-Faced Ghost King to lead them to the passage between the two worlds.

He would only be completely at ease if he truly led these cultivators from the Lu family away from the Netherworld.

A moment later, the Lu family cultivators, led by the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor, arrived at the location of the interdimensional passage in Qingluo City.

"Jinglin, Jingxiu, you two go through the interdimensional passage back to the mortal world first. If any Yin Hua Sect cultivators ask you about the situation, just tell them that some of your clansmen will leave from here later!" Lu Cheng'an instructed.

Lu Jinglin and Lu Jingxiu had previously traveled through the interdimensional passage, and the cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect were aware of their existence.

Furthermore, Lu Cheng'an believed that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect were all intelligent people and wouldn't ask any questions. (End of Chapter)
