Chapter 182 Plotting to Obtain a Golden Core Stage Cultivation Technique (Please Subscribe!)

"What are Fellow Daoist Lu's plans next? The only sect that has the Golden Core cultivation method for the Earth Flame True Scripture you cultivate is the Burning Flame Sect. Should I step in and force the Burning Flame Sect to hand over the Golden Core cultivation method for the Earth Flame True Scripture?" Shi Ningyu asked with a smile.

Shi Ningyu could sense that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had not improved at all, which was because Lu Cheng'an lacked the Golden Core chapter of the Earth Flame True Scripture.

Both the Dan Ding Sect and the Lu family are located within the territory of the Tian Yan Sect. Now that she and Lu Cheng'an have both broken through to the Golden Core realm, they will definitely be targeted by the Tian Yan Sect in the future.

Moreover, monsters from the Hong'e Mountains will be moving into the Fenyan Mountains. Only by rapidly increasing their strength can she and Lu Cheng'an withstand the impact from these two directions.

Now that she and Lu Cheng'an have joined forces to severely injure Chongxu Zhenren, they have already incurred the enmity of the Tianyan Sect.

Even if we attack the Heavenly Flame Sect's mountain gate and force them to hand over the Golden Core stage cultivation method of the Earth Flame True Scripture, we won't be afraid of offending the Heavenly Flame Sect any further.

"The Golden Core stage cultivation method of the Earth Flame True Scripture obtained by the Heavenly Flame Sect is also incomplete. It does not contain the minor supernatural abilities and the methods for refining natal magic treasures. Even if I force them to hand over the Golden Core stage cultivation method of the Earth Flame True Scripture, I will not be satisfied!"

A faint smile appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I have found the ruins of the Burning Flame Sect in the Burning Flame Mountains. Next, I plan to explore the ruins. I should be able to find the subsequent cultivation methods of the Earth Flame True Scripture there!"

I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Shi to accompany me into the ruins of the Burning Flame Sect. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shi would be interested?

The ruins of the Burning Flame Sect have never been opened. Although they contain a great many treasures, they must also be extremely dangerous.

Lu Cheng'an is now inviting Shi Ningyu to join him in order to share some of the risks with her.

Moreover, his main purpose in entering the Burning Flame Sect ruins was to obtain the subsequent cultivation methods of the Earth Flame True Scripture. Even if he obtained other treasures in the Burning Flame Sect ruins, he would not have any conflict with Shi Ningyu.

"The ruins of the Burning Flame Sect!"

Shi Ningyu looked at Lu Cheng'an with some surprise. She hadn't expected that Lu Cheng'an would have such a wonderful encounter.

"I am willing to enter the Burning Flame Sect ruins with Fellow Daoist Lu, but I wonder when Fellow Daoist Lu plans to enter the Burning Flame Sect ruins?" Shi Ningyu asked with a smile.

The Dan Ding Sect is very close to the Burning Flame Mountain Range, and they are quite familiar with the Burning Flame Sect, the Nascent Soul sect that was previously established in the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

The Burning Flame Sect was extremely powerful. At its peak, the sect had more than a dozen cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, and even two cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage.

However, the Burning Flame Sect was also destroyed at its peak.

At that time, the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm cultivator of the Burning Flame Sect, True Lord Burning Sun, wanted to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm. However, he was hindered by evil forces and demonic beasts during his breakthrough and ultimately failed.

That great battle caused severe damage to the ley lines of the Burning Flame Mountain Range, and the spiritual veins that the Burning Flame Sect was about to cultivate to the fifth rank collapsed directly.

With the collapse of this spiritual vein, which was about to become a fifth-order spiritual vein, the spiritual energy of the Burning Flame Mountain Range became disordered, which completely affected the earth veins of the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

This, in turn, causes the earth's fiery energy beneath the veins to surge violently, a terrifying force of heaven and earth.

After the earth's fire energy surged, the Burning Flame Mountain Range collapsed on a large scale, and magma erupted, directly covering the entire Burning Flame Mountain Range.

The Burning Flame Sect's mountain gate was located at the center of this riot. Even Nascent Soul cultivators could not withstand that powerful force, and the originally powerful Nascent Soul sect was directly engulfed by this catastrophe.

The magma covering the Burning Flame Mountains did not subside until a hundred years later. Originally, the Burning Flame Mountains had many fourth- and third-tier spiritual veins, but after that catastrophe, only some first- and second-tier spiritual veins remained.

It wasn't until many years later that the spiritual veins of the Burning Flame Mountains began to slowly recover, and gradually, third-tier spiritual veins began to emerge.

However, given the precedent of the destruction of the Burning Flame Mountains, even though there are now third-tier spiritual veins in the Burning Flame Mountains, no human Golden Core cultivator dares to establish a mountain gate there.

The main purpose of the third-tier demonic beasts from the Hong'e Mountains entering the Burning Flame Mountains is to hinder the development of the Heavenly Flame Sect and weaken the cultivation forces within the Ancient Desolate Sect, not to live in the Burning Flame Mountains for a long time.

However, it is undeniable that the Burning Flame Sect is extremely powerful, and Shi Ningyu is very interested in exploring the ruins of this sect.

She has now successfully broken through to the Golden Core realm by relying on the Nascent Soul inheritance of the Divine Jade Sect, but she has not truly obtained the Nascent Soul inheritance of the Divine Jade Sect.

If she could gain something from the Burning Flame Sect ruins, she would be more confident in defeating Sha Zehan, who came from a Nascent Soul sect.

"Once you recover from the backlash, I'll take you directly to the Burning Flame Sect ruins!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The backlash that Shi Ningyu suffered this time was not serious; she only needed a few days of recuperation to recover.

Therefore, she did not leave Chiyan Mountain.

After arranging a cave dwelling for Shi Ningyu, Lu Cheng'an summoned the cultivators of the Lu family and briefly explained the attack by True Person Chongxu. He also mentioned that he would be leaving the family for a period of time.

Lu Cheng'an was not worried that Chongxu Zhenren would attack their Lu family again. He and Shi Ningyu had already shown their formidable strength to the cultivators of Tianyan Sect. If Tianyan Sect dared to attack their Lu family and other cultivators of Danding Sect, they would face their fierce retaliation and punishment from Huanggu Sect!
The Ancient Desolate Sect is the superior sect of the Lu Family, the Heavenly Flame Sect, and the Pill Cauldron Sect. Normally, the Ancient Desolate Sect does not interfere in the struggles between the major cultivation forces within its territory.

However, if a Golden Core cultivator causes trouble at the gates of the Ancient Desolate Sect, the Ancient Desolate Sect will not stand idly by.

The Ancient Desolate Sect still values ​​the Golden Core cultivators within its territory, after all, they still have the formidable enemy of the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains.

With an additional Golden Core cultivator within the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect, they will have a greater chance of dealing with attacks from the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains!
After making arrangements with the cultivators in his clan, Lu Cheng'an returned directly to his cave.

His cultivation has now been completely consolidated, and he plans to take advantage of the time while Shi Ningyu is recovering from the backlash to refine the Mount Sumeru Seal once again.

The attack power of the third-grade low-level Mount Sumeru Seal is quite impressive. Previously, Lu Cheng'an only performed a simple refinement and could not truly unleash the power of this magic weapon.

He didn't know what dangers he might encounter in the Burning Flame Mountain Ruins, so naturally he had to work hard to improve his strength.

Shi Ningyu recovered very quickly; she was fully recovered in just three days.

Lu Cheng'an successfully refined the Mount Sumeru Seal in these three days. He and Shi Ningyu did not waste any time and set off directly from Chiyan Mountain towards Wuling Island, where the Spirit Clam Clan was located.

Lu Cheng'an and his companion did not want to alert the enemy, so they did not reveal their Golden Core cultivator aura, thus avoiding causing panic among the demonic beasts and spirit race cultivators within the Burning Flame Mountains.

Lu Cheng'an led Shi Ningyu through the underground passage of Fire Locust Mountain into the Lava River, and then followed the Lava River towards Five Spirits Island, where the Spirit Clam Clan was located.

Although the temperature in the underground magma river is extremely high and it is filled with dense fiery energy, it will not have a significant impact on Golden Core cultivators.

Of course, such an environment is also quite harsh for Golden Core cultivators. Prolonged exposure to such conditions will inevitably affect their cultivation. Lu Cheng'an and his companion moved quickly, speeding through the lava river and soon arriving at Five Spirits Island, where the Spirit Clam Clan resided.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, this island is called Five Spirits Island, the home of the Spirit Clam Clan... I will now take you into Five Spirits Island!"

As Lu Cheng'an spoke, he led Shi Ningyu towards Wuling Island.

After entering the Five Spirits Lake, Lu Cheng'an released his aura, allowing the Spirit Clam Clan to monitor all movements within the lake.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an was detected by the cultivators of the Spirit Clam Clan after entering the Five Spirit Lake.

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu landed on Five Spirits Island, the third-order spirit array surrounding the island withdrew on its own, allowing Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu to enter smoothly.

"Chi Liu greets Senior Lu and congratulates you on condensing your Golden Core, which brings you hope for immortality!"

As soon as Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu landed on Five Spirits Island, Chi Liu led the cultivators of the Spirit Clam Clan to welcome Lu Cheng'an.

Among them was Lingxuan, who originally had no good feelings towards Lu Cheng'an!

After Lu Cheng'an broke through to the Golden Core realm, he was no longer on the same level as Ling Xuan and Chi Liu, who were second-tier spirit clams. Naturally, Ling Xuan also changed her attitude towards Lu Cheng'an.

"No need for such formalities. I was able to break through to the Golden Core realm so quickly thanks in no small part to the help of your Spirit Clam Clan!"

Lu Cheng'an laughed and said, "You all disperse. Chi Liu, take me to find Fellow Daoist Qing Yi!"

Chi Liu glanced cautiously at Shi Ningyu beside Lu Cheng'an. She was very curious about Shi Ningyu's identity, but she did not dare to ask.

The aura emanating from Shi Ningyu was the same as that of Lu Cheng'an, clearly indicating that she was also a Golden Core cultivator!

After Chi Liu carefully agreed, he immediately led Lu Cheng'an and the other person towards the spiritual spring where Qing Yi was.

After sensing the third-order spiritual vein on Five Spirits Island, Shi Ningyu couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

This Five Spirits Island, located deep within a lava river, is indeed a treasure trove for cultivating immortality. Not only does it possess third-tier spiritual veins, but it also boasts numerous spiritual springs.

She noticed that more than one member of the Spirit Clam Clan was capable of breaking through to the third rank, but they were all suppressing their cultivation, which seemed rather strange.

Lu Cheng'an told Shi Ningyu about the Spirit Clam Clan, but he didn't tell Lu Cheng'an about the entanglement between the Spirit Clam Clan and the Heavenly Flame Sect, which is why Shi Ningyu had this question.

Although Five Spirits Island is quite large, Chi Liu and Lu Cheng'an moved extremely fast, and they arrived at the Spirit Spring where Qing Yi was in no time.

"Congratulations on condensing your Golden Core, Fellow Daoist Lu! Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Lu, as I need to suppress the entrance to the Burning Flame Sect ruins and cannot personally greet you!" Qing Yi said with a smile.

She was quite surprised that Lu Cheng'an had broken through to the Golden Core realm in such a short time, but she was also very happy.

The higher Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level, the happier she became!
After all, she had signed a soul contract with Lu Cheng'an, so she wasn't worried that Lu Cheng'an would go back on his word.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with Qingyi, Lu Cheng'an introduced Shi Ningyu to her.

“Fellow Daoist Qingyi, this is Shi Ningyu. She will be entering the Burning Flame Sect ruins with me. You should have no objections, right?” Lu Chengan asked with a smile.

“I have no objection. The Burning Flame Sect ruins have never been opened, and I don’t know what the situation is inside. It would be good for Fellow Daoist Shi and Fellow Daoist Lu to go into the Burning Flame Sect ruins together so that they can look out for each other!”

Qingyi spoke softly, "This is a map of the Burning Flame Sect's interior. However, the Burning Flame Sect's mountain gate was destroyed back then, so I don't know how useful this map is anymore!"

A splash of water rose from the spiritual spring where Qingyi was, and a jade slip emerged from the water and was delivered to Lu Cheng'an's palm.

This map was passed down by the cultivators of the Spirit Clam Clan, and it shows the sect structure of the Burning Flame Sect before the incident.

"When does Fellow Daoist Lu plan to enter the Burning Flame Sect ruins?" Qingyi asked.

“We are about to enter the Burning Flame Sect ruins. Fellow Daoist Qingyi, could you please open the entrance to the Burning Flame Sect ruins now?” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please wait a moment. I will open the entrance to the Burning Flame Sect ruins now!"

The moment Qingyi's voice fell, a dazzling blue spiritual light surged around her, intertwining to form various magical seals, revealing an extremely extraordinary phenomenon.

At this moment, the spring water where she was located gushed forth, and the surging water lifted Qingyi's huge body. At this moment, a scorching aura surged out from the spring water.

The scorching aura carried a rich fire elemental energy and fire evil energy, which contained extremely terrifying destructive power.

After these fire elemental energies and fire evil energies burst forth, the azure spiritual light emanating from Qingyi's body became even more intense. However, she seemed to be unable to control these powers, and the azure spiritual light gradually showed a blood-red hue, with strands of spiritual blood continuously flowing out from Qingyi's tightly closed clam shell.

Clearly, opening the entrance to the Burning Flame Sect ruins was not an easy task for Qingyi, and she had to pay a considerable price for it.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyi, is there anything I can do to help you?" Lu Cheng'an asked in a deep voice after sensing Qingyi's increasingly weak aura.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please help me dispel those fire elemental energies and fire evil energies!" Qingyi said weakly, but she was still trying to open the entrance to the Burning Flame Sect ruins.

Without wasting any time, Lu Cheng'an quickly cast a spell after Qing Yi's voice fell, and the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire spread out.

The pale blue Pure Celestial Fire instantly transformed into a raging sea of ​​fire, engulfing the bubbling spring water.

At this moment, the fire elemental energy and fire evil energy surging in the spring water were all absorbed by the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire!

The Pure Glazed True Fire is Lu Cheng'an's Golden Core True Fire, which inherently requires refining fire elemental energy to enhance its power.

However, after Lu Cheng'an broke through to the Golden Core realm, he did not have time to refine the fire elemental energy to enhance the power of the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire.

Now, it's incredibly simple for Qingyi to ask Lu Cheng'an to help resolve the fire elemental energy and fire evil energy in the spring.

The Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire refines the fire elemental energy and fire evil energy extremely quickly. After the fire elemental energy and fire evil energy in the spring water disappear, the pressure on Qingyi gradually decreases.
