Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 172 The Divine Jade Sect Ruins Open

After leaving Wuling Island, Lu Cheng'an returned to his family first.

He has been away from his family for a relatively long time this time, and the Lu family has undergone considerable changes.

For example, Lu Wenjing failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm!

Lu Wenjing was the first cultivator after Lu Wenhua to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining. After so many years of cultivation, his cultivation level also successfully broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The Lu family still possesses a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, Pure Flame Azure Milk, which Zhu Yan obtained during a volcanic eruption in the Burning Flame Mountains.

In order to get Lu Cheng'an to help her find the Earth Core Fire Jade in the Burning Flame Mountains, Zhu Yan voluntarily gave this Foundation Establishment spiritual item to Lu Cheng'an.

This is a fire-attribute foundation-building spiritual item, but Lu Wenjing cultivates a metal-attribute technique, so this foundation-building spiritual item is not suitable for him to use.

Because Tianyan City is not very peaceful right now, and the Lu family has not been able to contact Lu Chengyue, who has entered the Desolate Ancient Sect, for a long time, after Lu Wenxing discussed it seriously with Lu Wenhua and other Foundation Establishment cultivators, he finally decided that Lu Wenxing would take Lu Wenhua to the Desolate Ancient Immortal City.

The Ancient Desolate Immortal City is the largest immortal city within the Ancient Desolate Sect. Here, not only is it possible to exchange for Foundation Establishment spiritual items, but it is also possible to purchase Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

Lu Wenxing took Lu Wenjing to the Desolate Ancient Immortal City with the intention of replacing the Pure Flame Azure Milk with a metal-attribute Foundation Establishment spiritual item suitable for Lu Wenjing to consume, so that Lu Wenjing could directly break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City.

Lu Wenjing's accumulation of knowledge was not shallow, but cultivators also need a certain amount of luck to break through their realm.

Clearly, Lu Wenjing was not so lucky. Even though he used a Foundation Establishment spiritual item to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he still failed.

However, Lu Wenjing's situation was relatively good. Although he failed to break through his cultivation, he did not suffer any particularly severe backlash.

He's still relatively young, and if he takes good care of himself and recovers, he still has a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

However, Lu Chengbo, Lu Jinglin and others have grown up since then, and Lu Wenjing's wealth is not abundant. This time, in order to exchange for the Foundation Establishment spiritual item in the clan, he has already spent all his wealth and is in debt.

Even if he successfully recovers, it will be extremely difficult for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm again with the help of a Foundation Establishment artifact.

Lu Wenxing didn't stay idle during Lu Wenjing's cultivation breakthrough; he was trying to find a way to contact Lu Chengyue.

Previously, the Lu family and Lu Chengyue had left behind communication devices, but after Lu Chengping's accident, the items that the Lu family had kept to communicate with Lu Chengyue were lost along with Lu Chengping's death.

Lu Chengyue was a disciple of Master Kushi, so it wasn't particularly difficult for Lu Wenxing to inquire about Lu Chengyue in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City.

After spending some money, Lu Wenxing quickly established connections, enabling the Ancient Sect cultivators of the Ancient City to contact Lu Chengyue.

Lu Chengyue has relatively much freedom within the Desolate Ancient Sect; she can travel to the Desolate Ancient Immortal City at any time.

However, Lu Wenxing waited in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City for more than half a month before he finally saw Lu Chengyue, who arrived late.

This wasn't because Lu Chengyue was deliberately keeping Lu Wenxing hanging, but because she was in seclusion breaking through her cultivation level.

Lu Chengyue has been a disciple of the Desolate Ancient Sect for more than two years, and her cultivation has now broken through to the third level of Qi Refining. Such a cultivation speed is nothing short of rapid.

This is the foundation of the Nascent Soul sect. Although Lu Chengyue's talent in cultivation is not particularly high, she is the personal disciple of a Golden Core True Person from the Desolate Ancient Sect. With such a background, her cultivation speed has far surpassed that of cultivators from smaller forces who have higher cultivation talent than her.

Of course, besides the training from the Ancient Desolate Sect, there is another very important reason: Lu Chengyue is extremely compatible with the cultivation technique he practices, the Spring and Autumn Scripture.

For this reason, she was increasingly valued by the True Man of the Dead.

"Lu Chengyue greets the clan leader!" Upon seeing Lu Wenxing, Lu Chengyue immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

She showed no disrespect to Lu Wenxing whatsoever, even though she had joined the Ancient Desolate Sect and become a disciple of a Golden Core cultivator.

"No need for such formalities. How have you been in the Desolate Ancient Sect these past two years? Have you encountered any trouble? If you need any help from the clan, just let me know!" Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

“I’ve been doing well in the Desolate Ancient Sect these past two years… I used the communication talisman that Brother Chengping left me to send a message to the clan, but I don’t know why I haven’t received a reply?” Lu Chengyue said with a frown.

She sent a message to her clan, mainly to inquire about her mother and brother, but her message seemed to disappear into the ocean without a trace.

Lu Wenxing's face turned serious. He said in a deep voice, "It's not that the clan deliberately didn't reply to you, but that the clan lost the communication device with you."

After you and Chengfeng entered the Desolate Ancient Sect, Chengping stayed in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City for another month. After leaving the city, he was ambushed by cultivators from the Spirit Gu Sect and kidnapped, completely severing ties with his family!

"How could this happen?" Lu Chengyue exclaimed in surprise, this was completely unexpected.

In the past two years, she has been in the Desolate Ancient Sect and has gained some understanding of the Golden Core forces within its territory.

She knew that the Spirit Gu Sect was a Golden Core sect, and there were currently five Golden Core cultivators in the sect. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was the sect leader of the Spirit Gu Sect, Liu Miaozhen, whose cultivation was at the late Golden Core stage.

The methods of the Linggu Sect cultivators are extremely strange, and the sect's cultivators are skilled in using Gu worms.

Although Liu Miaozhen was at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, even cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core realm did not want to fight her.

Because if you are not careful, you may be targeted by her.

"This brings up an old story!"

Lu Wenxing sighed softly, not hiding Lu Chengping's past entanglements with the Linggu Sect.

"You don't need to worry about these things. If Chengfeng continues like this, you don't need to pay any more attention to him. Just focus on your cultivation in the Desolate Ancient Sect!"

Lu Wenxing sighed softly, then smiled and said, "This is what your mother prepared for you, along with a letter she wrote to you."

Upon seeing what Lu Wenxing was holding, Lu Chengyue's face immediately lit up with excitement, and even her eyes turned slightly red.

She had never left her mother before, but this time she left for such a far place, completely cutting off contact with her mother and brother.

Although she is quite mature, she still experiences intense longing for her mother and younger brother at times.

"Thank you, patriarch!"

After carefully putting those items into her storage bag, Lu Chengyue expressed her sincere gratitude to the clan leader. Then she took out some things from her storage bag, which she had prepared for her mother and younger brother.

"Please, clan chief, take these things to my mother and younger brother!" Lu Chengyue said. "I will give them the things after I return, so you can rest assured!"

Lu Wenxing smiled and said, "These were prepared by Chengfeng's parents for Chengfeng. If you have the opportunity to pass these things on to Chengfeng, I will stay in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City for a while. If Chengfeng has anything to pass on to his parents, try to bring it to me."

Not long after, Lu Chengyue returned to the Desolate Ancient Sect with great joy.

After carefully reading the letter her mother wrote to her, Lu Chengyue was completely relieved.

After that, she handed over the things that Lu Chengfeng's parents had given him to Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng's parents, like Lu Chengyue's mother, were ordinary people, and the things they brought were also ordinary things. They were of no use to cultivators like Lu Chengyue and Lu Chengfeng, and could only alleviate their longing for each other.

Lu Chengfeng has undergone a great change in the Desolate Ancient Sect in the past two years. After seeing the items his parents brought him, he did not feel happy at all. Instead, he complained that his parents were useless and could not help his cultivation in any way.

After hearing Lu Chengfeng's complaints, Lu Chengyue became even more disappointed in him and made up her mind that she would no longer provide him with any help in the future.

After parting ways with Lu Chengyue, Lu Wenxing sighed deeply, feeling extremely disappointed with Lu Chengfeng's performance.

After all, before Lu Chengyue and Lu Chengyue entered the Desolate Ancient Sect, they had high expectations for Lu Chengfeng, but now Lu Chengfeng and Lu Chengyue have completely reversed their expectations.

"What cultivators value in their cultivation is not only talent, but even more importantly, their character!"

Lu Wenxing sighed softly. No wonder a Nascent Soul sect like the Desolate Ancient Sect values ​​the character of its cultivators so much.

Lu Wenxing waited in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City for another month, during which time he did not see Lu Chengfeng make any move.

After Lu Wenjing failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, Lu Wenxing did not linger in the Desolate Ancient Immortal City. He directly took Lu Wenjing away from the Desolate Ancient Immortal City and returned to his family.

Lu Wenxing and his companion encountered no danger on their return journey and successfully returned to their family.

Apart from Lu Wenjing's failed cultivation breakthrough, there were no major changes among the other cultivators in the Lu family.

After gaining a brief understanding of his family's situation, Lu Cheng'an did not linger in the family and headed directly to the Dan Ding Sect.

At this time, Shi Ningyu had already made preparations for departure. After Lu Cheng'an arrived at Dan Ding Sect, Shi Ningyu first introduced the situation of the Shenyu Sect ruins to Lu Cheng'an.

"The ruins of the Divine Jade Sect are located at the border between the cultivation worlds of Qingzhou and Hezhou. At our current speed, it will take us about two months to reach the ruins..."

This time, Shi Ningyu gave Lu Cheng'an a more detailed introduction, and also talked about her competitors.

Shi Ningyu has three competitors: Sha Zehan, Kuang Qinglu, and Huo Xiang.

Sha Zehan is the only male cultivator among the four Nascent Soul successors of the Divine Jade Sect. He also has the highest social standing among the four, being a cultivator from the Ziyang Sect in the Hezhou cultivation world.

Both Kuang Qinglu and Huo Xiang came from Golden Core sects. Kuang Qinglu came from Tianshui Sect in Hezhou, while Huo Xiang came from Wanqiu Sect in Qingzhou.

However, they did not reveal their true identities and were unaware of each other's origins.

The Shenyu Sect ruins are located at the border of the Qingzhou and Hezhou cultivation worlds. Shi Ningyu and the other three disciples need to travel to this area to enter the Shenyu Sect ruins, but they do not need to gather in one place.

After giving Lu Cheng'an a detailed introduction to the Shenyu Sect ruins, Shi Ningyu didn't waste any more time. She immediately led Lu Cheng'an from Dan Ding Sect to the location of the Shenyu Sect ruins.

Shi Ningyu and Lu Chengan have both reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Perfection realm. Their strength is extremely formidable, and ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfection realm cultivators are no match for them.

The ruins of the Dan Ding Sect and the Shen Yu Sect were located far apart. The two deliberately concealed their whereabouts while traveling, and the journey went quite smoothly without encountering any danger.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Shi Ningyu also brought Lu Chengan to the place where she had entered the ruins of the Divine Jade Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the cave I used when I entered the ruins of the Divine Jade Sect. The conditions are rather simple, so please don't mind!" Shi Ningyu said with a smile.

This is a simple underground cave dwelling, which Shi Ningyu personally carved out when she was in the Qi Refining stage.

The underground cave is not particularly large, and Shi Ningyu has set up more than one second-order spirit array inside, so it remains unchanged to this day.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, rest assured, I don't care about the environment where I rest!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Shi Ningyu, asking, "But I wonder when exactly the Divine Jade Sect ruins will open?"

"It should be within this month, but I can't be sure of the exact day!"

Shi Ningyu's gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an, and she said in a deep voice, "Once we enter the Divine Jade Sect ruins, Fellow Daoist Lu must not trust anyone except me!"

"Fellow Daoist Shi, you can rest assured, I will not be bewitched!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The cave dwelling that Shi Ningyu carved out was not very large, but because it was close to the opening of the Shenyu Sect ruins, Lu Cheng'an and the other person did not make any further changes to the underground cave dwelling.

The two of them stayed quietly in the cave, waiting for the Shenyu Sect ruins to open.

Time passed slowly, and more than half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the jade talisman carried by Shi Ningyu suddenly emitted a warm, jade-colored spiritual light.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please prepare yourselves. The Divine Jade Sect Ruins have opened, and we will soon be teleported into them!"

Shi Ningyu spoke in a deep voice, her gaze falling on the jade talisman she carried.

At this moment, the jade-colored spiritual light emanating from the jade talisman became even brighter, and the jade-colored spiritual light first enveloped Shi Ningyu's body.

At this moment, Shi Ningyu quickly cast a spell, and the jade-colored spiritual light enveloping her body immediately dispersed, encompassing Lu Cheng'an's body as well.

Once the jade-colored spiritual light completely enveloped Shi Ningyu and Lu Cheng'an's bodies, Lu Cheng'an immediately felt a pulling force surging around him.

A moment later, the pulling force disappeared from Lu Cheng'an's body, and the jade-colored light that had enveloped Lu Cheng'an and the other person also disappeared. At this moment, Lu Cheng'an and the other person were no longer in the underground cave where they had been before, but appeared in a cave completely built of spirit jade.

A shimmering jade light emanated from the surrounding spiritual jade. After entering the cave, Shi Ningyu silently sensed it and realized that this was the place where the Divine Jade Sect ruins would test her for the first time.
