I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 186: Reaching the Fifth Level
As soon as the word "Nanming" came out, Lu Wujiu felt as if he was dislocated in time and space.

He even subconsciously checked the Yin Talisman bestowed upon Master Nanming, the Yin Talisman that responded to him from afar in the Land of Nine Paths, and finally confirmed that the blurry figure condensed from flames in front of him was not the previous Master Nanming.

Is this the case of Li Gui meeting Li Kui?

Otherwise, given the status of Nanming Zhenren, why would he reveal his identity as soon as they met?
Lu Wujiu's thoughts raced as he looked at the flaming figure before him and asked:
"Who is Taoist friend?"

"You practice my Fire God Way, but you don't know who I am. Who taught you the Fire God Way?"

Lu Wujiu did not answer, but asked:
"How can the Fire God Dao prove that you are a senior of the Fire God Dao?"

A faint smile clearly appeared on the face plate made of flames:

"You have cultivated to the fourth level of Dao, but you only have a body of the Fire Element. Such a body cannot contain more divine fire. This is the method of cultivating the Blazing Brilliant Body, which can help you reach the fifth level. Otherwise, if you force your cultivation with your Fire Element body, you will not be able to escape the danger of the body's collapse."

As soon as the words were spoken, a spark came.

Lu Wujiu took it doubtfully, and after checking it to make sure there was no trap, he was shocked as his mind swept over it.

As he had already achieved the fourth level of cultivation in the Way of the Fire God, he could naturally tell at a glance that this blazing body was the advanced version of the body of the Fire Element.

This method uses the cultivated fire to cleanse the body, further strengthening the body's ability to accommodate the divine fire.

It seems simple, but it contains the principles of the five elements and can be used to apply to other situations.

In other words, no matter what kind of divine fire a Fire God cultivator is practicing when he is in the second, third, or fourth level, he can find the corresponding method of practice from this blazing body.

The True Man Nanming is indeed harboring evil intentions!

Lu Wujiu sighed in his heart. He thought that with the oath as a guarantee, Master Nanming would at most hide some secrets. Unexpectedly, this guy still took advantage of the loophole and cheated him.

Of course, he had no good intentions and had a backup plan.

Amidst his thoughts, Lu Wujiu bowed and said:
"So you are Senior Fire God Dao. I apologize for any offense I have caused you. To be honest, I once met a man who called himself Nanming Zhenren. It was he who taught me the Fire God Dao. I wonder what your relationship is with him?"

"What did you say? There's another person claiming to be the True Man of Nanming?"

"Exactly!"

The flaming figure fell silent for a long time, then said, "Where is this? What year is it now?"

Lu Wujiu said, "I hope you will understand that the cultivation method of a Blazing Body cannot prove your identity."

The flaming figure waved his hand without thinking, and another spark of fire floated over. Lu Wujiu took it, but saw that it contained a lot of information about the God of Fire.

A portion of it, Lu Wujiu had already obtained from the Nanming Zhenren;
Another part is unknown.

Comparing the two, this person's identity is self-evident.

"I apologize for any offense I've caused you, senior!"

"No problem, no problem. Tell me quickly, what year and month is it now?"

"This is the land of the Nine Paths..."

Lu Wujiu did not hide anything and briefly mentioned the information about the nine lands, and the flaming figure became more and more silent.

After a long pause, he sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Immortal Nanming you met was a wisp of my obsession. So he should be a spirit without a form, soulless, parasitic on something else, is that right?"

Lu Wujiu bowed and said, "Senior, your foresight is as good as a god. I admire you."

"It's just common sense. If you were truly as foresighted as a god, how could you have ended up like this?"

"Practicing cultivation is inherently against the will of heaven. A few setbacks may be the very tempering of the great path!"

"You are good at comforting people. Where did you go after I became obsessed with finding you?"

"He has been reincarnated!"

"Reincarnation? This is probably just reincarnation, right?"

"No, I have cultivated a method called the Netherworld Reincarnation, which allows me to retain my memories and reincarnate!"

"Oh, could you show me?"

Lu Wujiu nodded, raised his hand, summoned a Yin Lu, and then imitated this person's method to condense a fire and write a message.

After examining it, the flaming figure sighed, "This scroll is quite profound, but it's such a waste of time."

As he spoke, Lu Wujiu clearly felt his seriousness:

"What's your name?"

"Replying to the senior, I am Lu Wujiu, the junior."

"Lu Wujiu, without disaster or loss, is a good name! Because you have awakened, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"Please give me your instructions, Senior."

"Although my body has died, my spirit remains. The power of this skull is at my disposal. I will help you ascend to the fifth level, and you will then use the power of the fifth level to reshape my body. How do you do that?"

As he spoke, the flaming figure waved his hand, and the flames in the skulls at his feet immediately swirled up, turning into a huge vortex of flames, spinning wildly.

Various divine fires also gradually stratified during the vortex motion.

Seeing this scene, Lu Wujiu's pupils suddenly shrank.

He was well aware of the power contained in this head, and he could control it at will. The power was not as strong as that of the top five armored soldiers, but it was better than that of the top five armored soldiers.

The question is, with this power, does he still need him to reshape his body?

Without making any noise, Lu Wujiu bowed and asked:
"May I ask how this junior can help you rebuild your body?"

"This is the method of reshaping. You should first carefully comprehend it."

Another spark of fire floated over. Lu Wujiu took it, scanned it with his mind, and was suddenly surprised.

This is truly a method to reshape the body!

The reason why the fifth level of cultivation is required is because the higher the cultivation level of the person performing this method, the stronger the divine fire contained in the reshaped body.

It is indeed a win-win situation for both parties.

Lu Wujiu's thoughts turned to another, and he bowed and said, "Since you trust me, I will definitely help you."

"Excellent! If you have nothing else to do, let's start now?"

"it is good!"

Lu Wujiu nodded, then sat cross-legged with an excited look on his face and began to practice in silence.

As he breathed in and out, a wisp of flame emerged from the swirling and layered divine fire and continuously flowed into his body.

His cultivation level, which had just reached the fourth level, also continued to rise.

At this moment, Lu Wujiu once again experienced the pleasure of inhaling and exhaling the innate Yuan Qi and rapidly improving his cultivation.

This is countless times faster than how he extracts flames from the chaos flames!
It seemed like a moment, or even a hundred years. He let out a long breath, his breath was as hot as flame, and his cultivation had reached the fourth level of perfection.

Next, it’s time to temper the blazing body.

At this point, no external force can help. He can only rely on himself to use his own flames to cleanse his body bit by bit.

A blazing flame rose from the Dantian, flowing through the body along the eight extraordinary meridians, forging stronger meridians, and then gradually seeping into the body along the meridians. Stars grew from the flesh and blood, like iron filings that had been hammered a thousand times on an anvil, gradually coating the flesh and blood with a layer of golden brilliance.

At this moment, Lu Wujiu seemed to have turned into a flame, with the pores all over his body wide open and steam rising like a branding iron.

All the various kinds of Qi cultivated in the body have been repelled by the flames and have shrunk into the Dantian.

Time passes by bit by bit in the process of tempering.

"Clap clap clap!"

Suddenly, Lu Wujiu shook his body, and the sound of crisp bones came from inside his body.

"Wonderful! The bones sing like shattered jade, and the blazing body is complete!" The original Nanming gave a cry of praise.

Lu Wujiu slowly opened his eyes, which were like molten gold, with a golden glow flashing across them. After a while, they gradually returned to normal.

He took a deep breath and exhaled. The air that passed through his lungs, eroded by the blazing body, emitted a heat that was three-tenths as hot as burning the world.

"Thank you for your help, senior!"

"You're welcome, but do you still need to consolidate your realm?"

"No, I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"Hehe, this Fire God has always been as solid as a rock and as fierce as the wind. Even though you are from a small world, you are not inferior to the heroes of the Middle Earth."

"Senior is so complimentary!"

Lu Wujiu said politely, closed his eyes again, and breathed out flames. This time, he would sprint to the peak of the small world, the ultimate desire of the Xuanmen monks in the Nine Dao Lands - to reach the fifth level!
He took a deep breath, and his mind swept through the more than ten kinds of flames in his skull, and selected the "Golden Crow Sun Flame".

It is said that this fire was picked from the Nine Heavens Golden Crow, and no one knows who picked the first generation of fire. Just a little bit is enough to produce an endless supply of the most rigid and yang flames.

It is extremely rare and even harder to find something that can nourish fire.

Now that there is the nurturing Golden Crow Yangyan in the Flame Skull, he naturally cannot be polite.

As a breath of golden crow sun flame entered his body.

His body immediately became like a red-hot iron, emitting extreme heat waves.

Under this stimulation, runes appeared on the robe on his body, as if it was under attack.

Nan Ming himself did not lie to him. If he had not cultivated a blazing body, this breath of Golden Crow Sun Flame, even if it did not burn his body, would still cause him to feel greatly stressed and he would not dare to continue practicing.

Now his body is like an extremely heat-resistant material. Although it is burned red, its properties remain unchanged and it is full of toughness.

With the continuous supply of Golden Crow Yangyan, the bottleneck of the Four Armors gradually loosened, and the sword constructed with flames trembled slightly in the body, as if it might break at any time.

"confused!"

In a trance, a brand new door suddenly opened in front of Lu Wujiu.

Lu Wujiu was like a drowning man who suddenly rushed out of the water. An indescribable sense of relief and release burst out from his body.

"boom!"

Endless flames gushed out from his body, burning the robe to ashes in an instant.

At this moment, countless immortal officials in the Immortal Court and the Immortal Palace looked up in shock, only to see the sun in the sky suddenly flash, bursting out with dazzling light, and the rolling heat waves coated the strong wind with a layer of flaming blades, scraping the skin and corroding the bones!
"This is!"

Among the Nine Departments, more than a dozen figures immediately emerged and rushed over.

When they flew towards the Golden Crow, the Golden Crow exploded with a helium flash, and then quickly returned to calm.

When everyone arrived, they saw Lu Wujiu, wearing a flame robe, sitting cross-legged on the flames that could not be approached. His black hair had turned into flames and was floating in the air!

As for the Nanming himself beside him, he was subconsciously ignored.

only because……

"Five Armor?!"

More than ten third and fourth-class cultivators could not take their eyes off Lu Wujiu after seeing him, and were all dumbfounded.

Indeed, Lu Wujiu was emitting the fifth-class cultivation level.

This, this speed of climbing the stairs is too fast!
A year ago, he was still a third-class cultivator, how come he suddenly reached the fifth class?
"call--"

Lu Wujiu exhaled like a sword, quietly opened his eyes, and scanned the surroundings before asking, "What's up, everyone?"

Taiyi Sijun Duan Lan was the first to react. He bowed and said, "Your Highness, we noticed the Golden Crow flashing, so we came to investigate. Unexpectedly, we found that the Heavenly Master had actually reached the fifth rank. Congratulations!"

The monks then reacted and hurriedly bowed in congratulations: "Congratulations, Heavenly Master, for reaching the fifth level!"

Lu Wujiu said calmly, "Congratulations, everyone. I have just reached the fifth rank and need to consolidate my cultivation. Please go back. Once I have consolidated my cultivation, I will drink with you again!"

The monks hurriedly bowed in response and returned to the fairy palace reluctantly.

"With a fourth-class cultivation level, yet having over ten third- and fourth-class subordinates, it's a shame to be born in a small world!"

Upon seeing this, the Nanming master smiled and said with a tone full of appreciation.

The top four cultivation level he mentioned was naturally based on what he saw when he first met Lu Wujiu.

"Senior, thank you!"

Lu Wujiu didn't mention Yin Tianzi, but looked at Nan Ming himself, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The body possession he expected did not happen, which made all the means he had secretly prepared useless.

It’s not that he thinks too badly of people!

If the Nanming Zhenren mentioned by the original Nanming is really a trace of his obsession, then a glimpse of the whole picture can reveal the manifestation of obsession, which is actually the shadow of the original.

He had already experienced this from Zhao Wuji.

As a result, he defended for a long time but did not see the possession of the body. Is it because the environment was very different, so it changed the outcome?

After all, Nan Ming Zhenren had no one to rely on at the time, and his only fire spirit was almost refined into a spiritual weapon by Lu Wujiu;

But now Nan Ming himself controls the power of the remaining skull and is as powerful as a top five master, so it is understandable that he is more calm.

Well, since Nan Ming himself has no intention of harming him, then it is only natural to reshape his body for him as a reward.

Even if Nan Ming himself reshaped his physical body, his strength would only be restored to the fifth level at most, which would not threaten his life and status.

This is probably the fundamental reason why Nan Ming himself proposed to help him reach the fifth level.

"May I ask, Senior, are there any precautions when rebuilding my body? If not, I will rebuild my body myself!"

"Then it'll be hard work."

"Senior, you're welcome!"

Lu Wujiu bowed and immediately took out a bottle of soul water and drank it to restore the energy and spirit that had been lost through hard training. Then he followed the same pattern and began to rebuild his body.

This process is very similar to cultivating the Blazing Body.

The difference is that the Blazing Body is based on the physical body, while reshaping the physical body directly uses the divine fire as the skeleton to concoct the physical body. Although the process is tedious, it is not difficult for Lu Wujiu, who has experience in practicing the Blazing Body.

All you need to pay is a little patience.

Time flows like water.

As he carefully sketched, a body made purely of flames gradually took shape.

"Senior, do you think this flaming body is feasible? Do you want me to refine a new one?"

Lu Wujiu asked, this body was his practice work, some details were not perfect, such as the carving of meridians and muscles.

"It's okay. I've adjusted some of the details myself."

Nan Ming nodded slightly, his figure flashed, and fell into the body of fire. In an instant, the flames changed, and the blurry figure converged and turned into a handsome young man.

Wearing the flaming robe, he looks so dashing!

"How do you feel, senior?"

"Not bad!" Nanming looked at himself and smiled at Lu Wujiu. "But, is there still one thing missing?"

"What?"

"Your Five-Armor Fire!"
