Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The spiritual energy in the underground magma river is extremely rich, and the cultivation resources are also very abundant.

However, such an environment is only suitable for Lu Cheng'an to cultivate in, which is undoubtedly a great waste. Therefore, Lu Cheng'an thought of transferring the spiritual energy in the underground magma river to the family's mountain gate.

During the five years that Lu Cheng'an spent cultivating in the underground magma river, Lu Jingkun, Lu Chengping, and other spirit array masters of the Lu family were also working hard to improve the grade of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array.

After spending so much time, they have successfully upgraded the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array to the fourth-order low-grade.

The upgrade of the Lu family's protective mountain formation brought them immense benefits.

Besides the main functions of Starry Stream and Starry Chart for offense and defense, the upgrade of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array also increased the spiritual energy concentration in the Lu family's mountain gate by half.

Lu Jingkun paid special attention to Suixing Peak, which was designated as a spiritual herb garden by the Lu family. As the grade of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array improved, a fourth-order spiritual vein spontaneously emerged on Suixing Peak.

After this fourth-order spiritual vein took shape, Lu Jingkun implanted many spiritual objects into Suixing Peak. Almost at the same time, Suixing Peak gave birth to a second fourth-order spiritual vein.

In addition to the fourth-order spiritual veins, two third-order wood veins and one fourth-order earth vein have also been nurtured within the Suixing Peak.

The wood and earth elemental energies released by the wood and earth veins are extremely beneficial to the growth of spiritual herbs. It's just a pity that the spiritual herbs planted by the Lu family on Suixing Peak are still relatively new, and there is not a single spiritual herb that has reached the fourth rank yet.

Otherwise, it might have given birth to a fourth-order wood vein this time.

The reason why Suixing Peak was able to nurture a fourth-order earth vein at this time was because Lu Jingkun scattered a large amount of spiritual soil into Suixing Peak.

Of course, the most important reason is the cultivation technique Lu Jingkun practiced, the Earthly Jade Book. He himself can gather the energy of the earth veins, which makes it much easier to nurture earth veins.

Later, at Lu Jingtong's request, Lu Jingkun set up a large number of auxiliary spirit arrays on Suixing Peak to help the spiritual herbs grow better.

Lu Jingtong's cultivation level is currently at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. His cultivation talent is not particularly outstanding. The reason he has reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm is inseparable from the resources his family has allocated to him.

This is because Lu Jingtong is the only third-tier spirit plant master in the Lu family, and his talent in the field of spirit plants is extremely outstanding.

Unfortunately, Lu Jingtong's talent for cultivation was very limited. Even though the Lu family was willing to spend a lot of resources to nurture him, the probability of him breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm was still very slim.

The Lu family has now discovered a promising talent in the field of spiritual plants. This person is named Lu Yonghui, and he is a cultivator of the Yong generation.

He was younger than Lu Yongming and Lu Yongzheng, and he was naturally more compatible with spiritual plants.

After embarking on his cultivation journey, he began practicing the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Technique, a wood-attribute technique that suited him perfectly, making his cultivation extremely smooth.

Lu Yonghui is not yet thirty years old, but his cultivation has already broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and he is also a second-tier top-grade spirit plant master.

Lu Yonghui's talent surpasses Lu Jingtong's in both spiritual plants and cultivation, which is why he is being nurtured by the Lu family.

He has been following Lu Jingtong ever since he began cultivating.

Lu Jingtong is a Golden Core cultivator and a third-tier spirit plant master, so he can still teach Lu Yonghui.

The four genius cultivators of the Lu family, Lu Ruiying, Lu Yongming, Lu Yongzheng, and Lu Yongyuan, are slightly older than Lu Yonghui. Among them, Lu Ruiying is the oldest, and her cultivation has now successfully broken through to the Golden Core realm.

The remaining three, including Lu Yongming, had all reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection realm. Judging from their talent, they would be able to break through to the Golden Core realm soon.

The Lu family is not lacking in spiritual objects that can help Foundation Establishment cultivators break through to the Golden Core realm.

The Five Elements Spirit Clams cultivated by Qingzhu and Chiliu of the Spirit Clam Clan have reached a considerable scale, and can produce a Five Elements Spirit Pearl every few years.

Even if the Lu family did not have a suitable second-order perfect realm demon beast to refine the Golden Core, the Five Elements Spirit Pearls were more than enough for the Lu family's Foundation Establishment perfect realm cultivators to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Now, the environment of Suixing Peak has become extremely suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs. In addition, with the cultivation by Lu Jingtong and other spiritual plant masters of the Lu family, the maturation time of the spiritual herbs has been shortened by several times.

Lu Cheng'an continued his cultivation in the underground lava river. He received a message from Lu Jingkun, informing him that the family's protective mountain array had been successfully upgraded to the fourth-grade lower level. However, he was unaware of the changes that had occurred within the family's mountain gate as a result of the upgrade.

The underground lava river, Wuling Lake, is located in the cave where Lu Cheng'an is cultivating in seclusion.

The dense fire evil, fire poison, fire elemental energy, and spiritual energy in the Five Spirits Lake frantically gathered around Lu Cheng'an. These forces intertwined around Lu Cheng'an, slowly forming an extremely special field.

This situation has lasted for more than a month. The four forces, which were originally just simply condensed together, have now achieved a wonderful balance and perfectly merged together.

"Is this a domain controlled by a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Lu Cheng'an silently sensed the special power that enveloped him for nine zhang, and found that this power was very similar to the Nascent Soul Realm recorded in the ancient books.

Domain is a unique power possessed by Nascent Soul cultivators.

This power is extremely strong and can easily destroy a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The main force constituting the domain is a certain Great Dao power comprehended by Nascent Soul cultivators.

After a Nascent Soul cultivator breaks through to the Deity Transformation realm, the Nascent Soul will transform into the Primordial Spirit. After the Primordial Spirit takes form, there will be an opportunity to have close contact with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

At that time, the primordial spirit cultivator's understanding of various great Daos will rapidly improve, thus gaining the foundation to condense the divine transformation realm.

While researching how to resolve the fire evil and fire poison of the underground magma river, Lu Cheng'an unknowingly grasped a trace of the essence of the Great Dao of Fire.

Moreover, he also has a certain understanding of the Dao of Space, which is why he was able to condense a domain similar to that that only a Nascent Soul cultivator could condense.

The Dao of Space is an essential power for Nascent Soul cultivators to condense their domains.

When a Nascent Soul cultivator breaks through to the Deity Transformation realm, their understanding of the Dao of Space will also improve rapidly in a short period of time.

Lu Cheng'an's understanding of the Dao of Space came entirely from the Suspended Mirror Sect, a Nascent Soul sect with a profound understanding of the Dao of Space.

Of course, what Lu Cheng'an has condensed so far is only the rudimentary form of a domain, and the power of this rudimentary domain is still very weak.

Lu Cheng'an silently sensed the power of the domain he had condensed, and he found that under the domain he had condensed, all his powers had been greatly enhanced.

If other cultivators enter his domain, their strength will be weakened.

Of course, the domain he has currently condensed is only nine zhang in range, making it impossible to encompass cultivators of the same level as him within it. The domain he has created so far can only provide a certain boost to his combat power; it doesn't offer much else.

"What I have now formed is a Fire Domain. Before, I was unable to deal with the fire evil and fire poison in the underground lava river, but now I can absorb all the fire evil and fire poison in the underground lava river into my domain."

Lu Cheng'an made some plans in his mind, then he opened up the Fire Domain and began to absorb the surrounding fire evil, fire poison and fire elemental energy.

Although what Lu Cheng'an has just formed is only the rudimentary form of a domain, its power is still extremely strong.

The fire elemental energy, fire poison, and fire essence in the Five Spirits Lake were extremely concentrated, but after Lu Cheng'an absorbed them continuously for a month, the fire elemental energy and fire poison in the Five Spirits Lake had become extremely diluted.

The fire elemental energy released by the two fourth-order fire veins was also greatly reduced.

Lu Cheng'an felt that if he continued to absorb without restraint, the grade of the two fourth-order fire veins would eventually be reduced.

A fourth-order fire vein can give birth to a fourth-order fire-attribute spiritual creature every once in a while, but Lu Cheng'an felt that the spiritual creatures given birth to by the fourth-order spiritual vein were far less important than his domain.

Therefore, after only a slight hesitation, he continued to use his domain to absorb the power of fire evil, fire poison, fire elemental energy, and spiritual energy in the Five Spirits Lake.

However, by this time, the range of fire evil and fire poison absorbed by his domain had already exceeded that of the Five Spirit Lake.

As the domain absorbs more and more power, its power also increases, but the domain's range does not expand and remains within nine zhang.

Lu Cheng'an felt that this was related to his understanding of the Dao of Fire and the Dao of Space. His current understanding of the Dao of Fire and the Dao of Space only allowed him to condense a domain with a range of nine zhang.

Once his understanding of these two great principles deepens further, he may be able to condense an even broader domain.

Lu Cheng'an spent three years absorbing all the fire evil and fire poison power within a radius of 500 miles of Wuling Lake into his own domain.

Although the underground lava river was still scorching hot, the danger to cultivators was greatly reduced.

After absorbing so much fire evil and fire poison, Lu Cheng'an's domain greatly enhanced his own strength.

After he unleashes his domain, all the attacks he releases will be imbued with the power of fire and fire poison.

This power is extremely advanced, after all, it is formed from the condensation of a domain.

Even for cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, it is not an easy task to resolve the infection.

During these three years, Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping, along with other spirit array masters from the Lu family, were also trying to deduce a formation to transfer the spiritual energy from the underground magma river to the Lu family's mountain gate, according to Lu Chengan's idea.

The underground lava river of the Burning Flame Mountains and the Lu Family Mountain Gate are not far apart, only two or three hundred miles.

This is because the Lu family's mountain gate area has expanded again.

However, this is not an easy task. Even though Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping have tried many methods, progress has been slow.

For this reason, Lu Jingkun, like Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, explained spirit arrays and the way of cultivation to the cultivators of his family, thereby sorting out what he had learned over the years.

Not only that, Lu Jingkun also went to Nascent Soul sects such as the Ancient Desolate Sect to exchange insights on spirit arrays with their spirit array masters.

This greatly improved Lu Jingkun's spirit array skills, but there was still not much progress in transporting the spiritual energy from the underground magma river to the Lu family's mountain gate.

Lu Cheng'an originally intended to continue his intensive cultivation in the underground lava river, but at this time he received a message from True Monarch Tianhuo.

"Could it be that Qingzhou has nurtured spiritual objects that aid in the condensation of the Nascent Soul?"

Upon receiving the message from True Lord Tianhuo, a look of joy appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face.

However, after seeing the specific content of the message from True Lord Tianhuo, his brows furrowed tightly.

The message from True Lord Tianhuo was indeed related to the spiritual object in Qingzhou that helps with the condensation of the Nascent Soul, but it didn't mean that they had obtained the spiritual object; rather, it meant that they had encountered some trouble.

"Our only option now is to go to Haoyang Sect!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. After relaying the message from True Monarch Tianhuo to Shi Ningyu, he set off from the Burning Flame Mountain Range and headed directly towards Haoyang Sect.

The Lu family and Haoyang Sect were still some distance apart. This time, when Lu Cheng'an used the Star Flame Concealment Technique to travel, he also applied the power of his condensed fire domain, which increased his travel speed by nearly 100%.

This result made Lu Cheng'an quite happy, as his original strength was enough to fight against a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Now, with the support of the Fire Domain's power, he has the ability to contend with cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

However, he is not prepared to reveal his true strength now, since his current strength is still somewhat weak.

The Nascent Soul Perfection Realm cultivators such as the Sacred Heart Ancestor, the Butterfly Transformation Demon King, the Sword Inquiry True Monarch, and the Blazing Sun True Monarch, who have been famous for many years, can now pose a great threat to him.

Lu Cheng'an can contain the power of the fire domain within his own body and prevent it from spreading, thus making it impossible for other cultivators to detect the fire domain he has condensed.

Soon after, Lu Cheng'an arrived at Haoyang Sect smoothly and was then personally led into the sect's gate by True Monarch Tianhuo, who was waiting at Yingke Peak.

True Monarch Tianhuo led Lu Cheng'an into the Haoyang Sect's meeting hall, where Nascent Soul cultivators from Qingzhou, including True Monarch Qiongmiao and True Monarch Wanying, had also gathered.

Lu Cheng'an was extremely surprised when he saw Nascent Soul cultivators such as True Monarch Qiongmiao and True Monarch Wanying.

All the top Nascent Soul cultivators in Qingzhou have gathered here, but none of them have solved the problem of obtaining the spiritual objects that aid in the formation of Nascent Souls nurtured in Qingzhou. What good solutions could he possibly offer?

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Nascent Soul cultivators such as True Monarch Qiongmiao, Lu Cheng'an sat down at the arrangement of True Monarch Tianhuo.

At this moment, True Lord Tianhuo also began to tell Lu Cheng'an about the troubles they were currently facing.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you may not know this, but the spiritual items used by us cultivators of Qingzhou to aid in the condensation of the Nascent Soul originate from a spatial rift within Qingzhou..."

Because the Nascent Soul cultivators, including True Monarch Tianhuo, would need Lu Cheng'an's help later, he didn't hide anything from Lu Cheng'an and directly told him in detail about the spatial rift. (End of Chapter)
