Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Before Lu Cheng'an could recover from the shock of the Thousand Autumns Pagoda suddenly appearing in front of him, he heard the urgent voice of the Elder Jinian coming from inside the pagoda.

Before that, what he saw was the slightly illusory figure of the old man, who transformed into a stream of light and rushed into the Thousand Autumns Tower.

"I will sacrifice myself to become the spirit of the Thousand Autumns Tower. Young friend Lu, quickly merge your essence and blood into the Thousand Autumns Tower, and I will do my best to help you take control of it!"

After hearing what the old man said, Lu Cheng'an was once again shocked by the information he had received.

However, Elder Ji Nian did not give him much time to think, and told Lu Cheng'an to make a decision immediately.

"Given Elder Ji Nian's abilities, he has no reason to deceive me!"

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Cheng'an fused his own blood essence into the Thousand Autumns Tower. Then he felt an extremely terrifying pressure descend upon his body.

This pressure almost crushed his physical body and primordial spirit at the same time, but whenever his physical body and primordial spirit were close to collapse, an extremely powerful force nourished his physical body and primordial spirit, preventing them from completely collapsing.

However, this caused Lu Cheng'an immense pain, far exceeding the tribulation he had overcome when breaking through to a higher realm.

Lu Cheng'an didn't know how long he had endured this level of pain. After he gradually got used to this inhuman torture, two streams of light suddenly emerged from the Thousand Autumns Tower.

These two streams of light were composed of pure fire energy and time energy, and they enveloped Lu Cheng'an's body as soon as they appeared.

Lu Cheng'an already had a deep understanding of the Great Dao of Fire and the Great Dao of Time. Now, he has completely merged into these two Great Daos, and his understanding of them is rapidly improving.

While Lu Cheng'an and Elder Jinian were struggling to control the Thousand Autumns Tower within the Burial Grounds, outside the Burial Grounds, super powers such as the Xuan Chen Sect were thrown into great chaos due to the sudden disappearance of the Thousand Autumns Tower.

"Shi Yu, what are you saying? How could the Thousand Autumns Tower suddenly disappear? Are all the people from your Xuan Chen Sect useless?"

"What exactly is going on? Shi Yu, are you sure you're not joking?"

"The Thousand Autumns Tower is crucial to our next plan, and we cannot afford any mistakes. Shi Yu, are you sure the Thousand Autumns Tower has disappeared?"

…………

Shi Yu is a young man who looks very ordinary. He comes from the Xuan Chen Sect and is one of the five cultivators in the sect who have survived the four major heavenly tribulations.

The reason why the Thousand Autumns Tower, this immortal artifact, was placed in the Xuan Chen Sect was not because the Xuan Chen Sect was the most powerful sect in the Xuan Chen Realm, but because of Shi Yu.

This is because the Great Dao that Shi Yu comprehended is the Great Dao of Time. Among all the Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm, only he can unleash the power of the Thousand Autumn Tower.

After the demonic cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm were wiped out, super powers such as the Xuan Chen Sect planned to use the power of the Thousand Autumn Tower to cultivate talented cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm so that they could grow up quickly and cope with the upcoming attacks from the demonic cultivators.

The demon army has now reached the outskirts of the Xuan Chen Realm. The Tribulation Realm experts from super powers such as the Xuan Chen Sect have all left the outskirts of the Xuan Chen Realm to resist the demon army's attack.

The previous invasion by demonic cultivators had a great impact on the Xuan Chen Realm, and even after so many years, this impact has not been eliminated.

This influence has resulted in the Xuan Chen Realm never producing a Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivator who has overcome the sixth level of the Heavenly Tribulation. Currently, the cultivators with the highest cultivation levels among the super powers of the Xuan Chen Realm, such as the Xuan Chen Sect, have only overcome the fifth level of the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, among the demon cultivators outside the Xuan Chen Realm, there are those who have survived the sixth level of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Each time a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending Realm overcomes a major tribulation, their strength will be greatly enhanced. Currently, there are no cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm who have overcome the sixth major tribulation, which puts them at a great disadvantage when facing demonic cultivators who have overcome the sixth major tribulation.

Currently, the cultivators of the Xuan Chen Realm are only able to gain some advantage in their attacks against the demon cultivators by relying on their geographical advantage. However, if the stalemate continues for too long, and the demons send out more powerful cultivators, then the advantages that the Xuan Chen Realm currently possesses will completely disappear.

Now, super powers like Xuanchen Sect have placed a large part of their hopes on the Thousand Autumns Tower, since it is a celestial artifact crafted by immortals from the Immortal Realm and possesses extremely powerful strength.

During this time, Shi Yu devoted all his energy to the Thousand Autumns Tower. He is now able to activate the power of the Thousand Autumns Tower, but he never expected that the Thousand Autumns Tower would suddenly disappear.

The ones questioning Shi Yu now are Li Duheng of the Li Clan, Shui Muyun of the Wanfa Sect, and Zhao Lingfeng of the Feixian Sect. All four of them have survived the four major heavenly tribulations.

"I am quite certain that the Thousand Autumns Pagoda has disappeared, but I feel that its disappearance was as if it was being pulled by some force!"

Shi Yu frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "The Thousand Autumns Tower was originally a celestial artifact crafted by the ascended immortals of the Thousand Autumns Sect. Back then, the Thousand Autumns Sect wanted to deplete the essence of the Xuan Chen Realm to activate the Thousand Autumns Tower, which is why they were completely sealed away."

"When Li Fuyang, the sect leader of Qianqiu Sect, was sealed away, he had already successfully passed through the sixth Heavenly Tribulation and reached the Pseudo-Immortal Realm."

"I suspect that the disappearance of the Thousand Autumns Pagoda is related to Li Funian. What do you think?"

Shi Yu's gaze fell on Li Duheng, because Li Funian of the Thousand Autumns Sect also came from the Li Clan of Immortals.

“There has been no unusual activity in the sealed land for so many years. Even if Li Funian is still alive, he wouldn’t deliberately choose this time to make a move, would he? What benefit would he gain from doing so? Does he really want the entire Xuanchen Realm to perish with him?” Shui Muyun frowned.

“I also think it’s highly likely that Li Fuyun was behind it. As for whether it is true or not, we’ll find out once we enter the sealed area!” Li Duheng said coldly.

"The sealing of the Forbidden Land was set up by our respective sects' predecessors. Unless the sealing is destroyed, cultivators of our level have no chance of entering the Forbidden Land."

"This matter is beyond our control. We need to inform the sect leader immediately and seek their opinion!" Zhao Lingfeng said in a deep voice.

The sect leaders of super powers such as the Flying Immortal Sect have all survived the five major heavenly tribulations. They are now outside the Xuan Chen Realm, doing their best to resist the attack of the demonic cultivators.

The Thousand Autumns Pagoda is one of the few well-preserved immortal artifacts in the Xuan Chen Realm, and they must find it!
Zhao Lingfeng's suggestion was agreed upon by Shi Yu and the other two. They temporarily suppressed the news and asked Shi Yu to leave the Xuan Chen Realm as soon as possible to tell the cultivators of Xuan Chen Sect and other sects who had survived the five major heavenly tribulations.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware of what was happening in the outside world. He had already entered the Thousand Autumns Tower and had almost become one with it.

The Thousand Autumns Tower is a celestial artifact involving the Dao of Time; the flow of time inside the tower is completely different from that outside.

Lu Cheng'an has now entered the central area of ​​the Thousand Autumns Tower. He is surrounded by a dense flow of the Dao of Time and the Dao of Fire, and within these two Dao powers, there are also wisps of silvery-white energy.

Lu Cheng'an has now entered a state of enlightenment. The Dao of Time, the Dao of Fire, and those silvery-white streams are being absorbed by his body, which is also rapidly improving his cultivation.

Not far from Lu Cheng'an, the figure of the old man reappeared. His body had become much more solid, and he had now completely become the spirit of the Thousand Autumns Tower. "No wonder the ancestor instructed that the Thousand Autumns Tower would be a treasure to protect the Xuan Chen Realm. It turns out that when the power of the Thousand Autumns Tower is fully activated, it can connect to the Immortal Realm and intercept the immortal energy there!"

Upon sensing the presence of the immortal energy, the old man in his twilight years exclaimed softly.

Immortal energy is the same as spiritual energy; it exists in the immortal realm, but its quality is many times higher than that of spiritual energy.

"The ancestor forged the Thousand Autumns Pagoda back then, and the immortal energy appearing in the Thousand Autumns Pagoda now is not even the lowest quality immortal energy!"

The Elder Ji Nian was extremely ancient. When he reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm, the Xuan Chen Realm had not yet experienced any trouble.

At that time, the cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm still had contact with the immortals of the Xuan Chen Realm who had ascended to the upper realm, so Elder Jinian also had a relatively deep understanding of the immortal realm.

For example, the quality of immortal energy is divided into several levels. Higher-level immortal energy is more conducive to the improvement of a cultivator's cultivation level. However, not everyone can obtain this quality of immortal energy.

The immortal energy that the Thousand Autumns Tower is currently intercepting is not of the lowest quality, but its grade is not particularly high either.

Even so, the fact that the Thousand Autumns Tower could intercept the immortal energy of the celestial realm still greatly surprised Elder Ji Nian.

"The Thousand Autumns Tower intercepts not only immortal energy, but also spiritual energy from the immortal realm. The spiritual energy from the immortal realm is also nourished by immortal spiritual energy, and its quality is far superior to that of the spiritual energy within the Xuan Chen Realm."

"If cultivators refine this spiritual energy for cultivation, their cultivation will be much easier!"

The old man observed that the Thousand Autumns Tower intercepted high-quality immortal energy relatively slowly, requiring a long interval to intercept even a wisp.

The speed at which it intercepts lower-grade immortal energy is somewhat faster, while the speed at which it intercepts spiritual energy is much faster, with spiritual energy constantly surging into the Thousand Autumns Tower.

Once these spiritual energies enter the Thousand Autumns Pagoda, they are rapidly compressed by the spiritual energy released by the pagoda.

These spiritual energies were first compressed into mist, then condensed into spiritual liquid, and finally solidified into spiritual crystals.

These spirit crystals are formed entirely from extremely pure spiritual energy, and also contain a trace of immortal spiritual energy.

If these spirit crystals were to flow into the outside world, even cultivators who had survived four or five major tribulations would scramble for them.

After all, immortal spiritual energy is too important for cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending Realm. The reason why no cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm can overcome the sixth Heavenly Tribulation is suspected by the Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivators of super forces such as the Xuan Chen Sect.

After all, when nothing happened in the Xuan Chen Realm, super powers like the Xuan Chen Sect had stable channels for obtaining immortal energy.

After the emergence of the Xuan Chen Realm, the stable channels for obtaining immortal energy within super powers like the Xuan Chen Sect were all cut off.

Since entering the Burial Ground of Immortals, the old man Ji Nian has never left, and he is unaware of the current situation in the Xuan Chen Realm.

Back then, the Thousand Autumns Sect also had a stable channel for obtaining immortal spiritual energy, but that channel could only intercept the lowest grade of immortal energy in the immortal realm, and it would take a long time to intercept even a wisp of it, far slower than the Thousand Autumns Tower.

That is why the old man was so shocked when he saw the Thousand Autumns Tower intercepting immortal energy.

Inside the Thousand Autumns Tower, Lu Cheng'an frantically refined the power of the Great Dao of Fire, the Great Dao of Time, and Immortal Qi, and his cultivation level was rapidly increasing.

He originally only had the cultivation level of the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, but as time went by, his cultivation level quickly reached the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, the perfect stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and even broke through to the Dao Integration Realm!

Only then did Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level begin to improve at a slower pace.

Time flows much slower in the central area of ​​the Thousand Autumns Tower than in the outside world. Lu Cheng'an has been cultivating in seclusion in the central area of ​​the Thousand Autumns Tower for more than a thousand years, but only a few days have passed in the outside world.

Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level ultimately stopped at the Perfection of the Dao Integration Realm. At this point, even with the power of the Thousand Autumns Tower, it would be extremely difficult for him to improve his cultivation.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an also woke up from that state of enlightenment. After experiencing the changes in himself, a look of fear appeared on his face.

"Young friend Lu, what's wrong?" The old man asked in a deep voice when he saw Lu Cheng'an suddenly show a look of fear after waking up.

During Lu Cheng'an's cultivation, Elder Jinian stayed by his side the whole time. He knew clearly that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had advanced from the early stage of the Void Refining Realm to the perfect stage of the Dao Integration Realm.

This is something to be happy about. Lu Cheng'an might feel surprised after sensing the change in his cultivation level, but definitely not the fear he is experiencing now.

“Senior Li, I only have one thousand years left to live!” Lu Cheng’an said in a deep voice.

He had a lifespan of over 40,000 years when he was in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

His cultivation level has now directly reached the Perfection of the Dao Integration Realm from the early stage of the Void Refining Realm. By crossing the major realm of the Dao Integration Realm, his lifespan will increase even more.

But now he only has a thousand years left to live, and his tens of thousands of years of life have just vanished!

These cultivators work hard not only to gain greater strength, but also for another very important reason: to gain a longer lifespan.

Originally, his lifespan was supposed to far exceed that of cultivators at the same level, but now his thousand-year lifespan might not even be a fraction of that of cultivators at the same level.

"Young friend Li only has one thousand years left to live!"

A look of surprise appeared on the old man's face, then he seemed to realize something and quickly said, "Young friend Lu's loss of lifespan may be related to the Thousand Autumns Pagoda!"

The old man suddenly remembered what happened after Lu Cheng'an entered the Thousand Autumns Tower. After becoming the spirit of the Thousand Autumns Tower, he could help Lu Cheng'an control the tower.

However, he absolutely did not have the ability to use the power of the Thousand Autumns Tower to raise Lu Cheng'an's cultivation from the early stage of the Void Refining Realm to the perfect stage of the Dao Integration Realm.

Perhaps Lu Cheng'an's ability to become the master of the Thousand Autumns Tower wasn't due to his own merits, but rather because of Lu Cheng'an himself. (End of Chapter)
