Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Lu Cheng'an's Jinggu Seal was several times more powerful than that of Suigu Zhenjun, and its effect on the Blood-Mane Hun Tian Niu was also enormous.

Under the Jinggu Seal, the Blood-Maned Sky Bull remained motionless for a single breath.

In this state, it naturally cannot avoid the attacks of Nascent Soul cultivators such as True Lord Lieyang.

A series of loud booming sounds rang out as a violent explosion occurred where the Blood-Maned Sky Bull was located.

Various colored lights surged and roared, while the air currents containing violent power surged and spread outwards continuously.

Fortunately, the space where this spatial rift was located was extremely solid, and it was not affected in any way even after being attacked by this force.

Although the Bloodmane Celestial Ox Outer Armor was extremely powerful, it still developed cracks when it withstood the fierce attack of True Lord Blazing Sun without being activated.

Unfortunately, the attack power of Nascent Soul cultivators like True Monarch Lieyang was still slightly lacking, and this round of attacks did not cause fatal damage to the Bloodmane Celestial Bull.

On the contrary, this injury made the Blood-Maned Sky Bull extremely frenzied. After it broke free from the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal, a blood-red light emanated from its two horns.

It is preparing to launch the most powerful attack it possesses.

However, Lu Cheng'an did not give it that chance.

Lu Cheng'an has cultivated the Jinggu Seal divine power to perfection, and he can use this divine power in an instant.

He did not continue to use the Quiet Ancient Seal on the Blood-Mane Heavenly Bull in order not to make the Nascent Soul cultivators like True Lord Lieyang feel wary.

He had been keeping a close eye on the changes in the Blood-Maned Celestial Ox. When he sensed that the Blood-Maned Celestial Ox had broken free from the control of the previous Still Ancient Seal, he immediately cast the second Still Ancient Seal.

The Tranquil Ancient Seal is a divine power involving the power of time, which is an extremely terrifying force.

When the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal descended upon the Blood-Maned Celestial Bull's body once more, the attack it was halfway through was forced to stop.

The Nascent Soul cultivators, including True Lord Lieyang, were somewhat shocked by the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal, but they did not waste any time and once again unleashed their most powerful attacks, bombarding the Blood-Mane Heavenly Bull.

After this round of attacks, the blood armor covering the Blood-Maned Sky Bull's body was completely shattered, and the attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators such as True Monarch Lieyang truly landed on its physical body.

This caused extremely serious injuries to the Blood-Mane Sky Beetle.

After a breath, the Blood-Maned Sky Bull broke free from the control of the Tranquil Ancient Seal once again. At this moment, the Tranquil Ancient Seal cast by True Monarch Suigu landed on the Blood-Maned Sky Bull.

Before the power of the Ancient Stillness Seal unleashed by True Monarch Suigu dissipated, Lu Cheng'an unleashed the power of the Ancient Stillness Seal for the third time.

Before the Nascent Soul cultivators, including True Lord Lieyang, could even react with surprise, they launched another attack on the motionless Bloodmane Heavenly Ox.

Although the Blood-Mane Celestial Bull was extremely powerful, it didn't even have a chance to retaliate against the Jinggu Seal, a special divine power involving the power of time.

After the third round of attacks, the head of the Blood-Maned Sky Bull was directly severed by the Blazing Sun True Lord. This chaotic creature, with its extremely strong vitality, completely lost its life after its body convulsed violently.

Because of this Blood-Maned Celestial Bull, there are no other chaotic creatures in this spatial rift.

After Lu Cheng'an and the others killed the Blood-Maned Hun Tian Niu, they resolved all the crises in this spatial rift.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, we owe you a great debt of gratitude. Otherwise, we would not have been able to kill the Blood-Mane Heavenly Bull so easily!" True Monarch Lieyang laughed loudly and quickly came to Lu Cheng'an's side.

When True Monarch Suigu used the Tranquil Ancient Seal before, he had not yet felt how powerful this divine power was.

However, after witnessing the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal unleashed by Lu Cheng'an, he realized the terrifying nature of this divine ability.

Even a powerful chaotic creature like the Bloodmane Sky Bull had a moment of stillness.

When Nascent Soul cultivators clash, the outcome can be decided quickly, let alone in a single breath, or even in an even shorter time.

"Fellow Daoist Gao, you flatter me. I only played a supporting role!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled modestly and said, "The reason we were able to successfully kill the Blood-Mane Sky Bull is because of the full effort of Fellow Daoist Gao and your team."

Lu Cheng'an was not just being modest; he did indeed only play a supporting role in slaying the Bloodmane Sky Bull.

Although the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal was formidable, it only kept the Blood-Maned Sky Bull still and did not cause any damage to it.

They were able to kill the Blood-Maned Sky Bull because of Nascent Soul cultivators like True Lord Lieyang.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please don't be modest. You deserve the greatest credit for slaying the Blood-Maned Sky Bull!"

With a smile on his face, True Lord Lieyang looked at Lu Cheng'an and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you can choose one high-grade fourth-rank spiritual item, one mid-grade fourth-rank spiritual item, and two low-grade fourth-rank spiritual items in addition to the spiritual items you obtained from the spatial rift. You should have no objections, right?"

Lord Lieyang did not feel threatened by Lu Cheng'an, after all, as Lu Cheng'an said, the Jinggu Seal could only be used as an auxiliary divine power.

Lu Cheng'an can only unleash his full power with the help of powerful cultivators.

It was for this reason that True Lord Lieyang decided to give Lu Cheng'an more spiritual items.

If he knew Lu Cheng'an's true strength, he would probably regret the decision he made.

True Monarch Qiongmiao and True Monarch Wanying exchanged a glance and then nodded in agreement.

Their relationship with Lu Cheng'an was closer than that of Haoyang Sect. Now that True Lord Lieyang was offering Lu Cheng'an benefits, they would not object, whether it was because of Lu Cheng'an or because of True Lord Lieyang.

Since True Monarch Qiongmiao and True Monarch Wanying had no objections, the matter was settled.

"Lu Cheng'an thanks all fellow Daoists!"

Lu Cheng'an bowed to Lieyang Zhenjun and the other Nascent Soul cultivators to express his gratitude, but did not refuse their kindness.

He currently lacks the materials to refine Lu Chengping's natal magic weapon, as well as the materials to upgrade his own magic weapon to the fourth-tier superior grade.

The more fourth-tier spiritual items obtained from this spatial rift, the better.

“Then it’s settled. We’ll first plunder all the spiritual objects that have been nurtured in this spatial rift, then leave quickly and distribute them when we get back!” said True Lord Lieyang.

Although the space within this spatial rift is stable, it's not a place to linger. It would be best for them to leave as soon as possible.

Neither True Monarch Qiongmiao nor True Monarch Wanying had any objections to this.

Lu Cheng'an and the others then quickly began searching for any spiritual objects that might have been born within the spatial rift. The spatial rift itself was quite large, but the area capable of nurturing spiritual objects was relatively small.

More often, it's the kind of area where the Blood-Mane Sky Beetle lives.

Although the spiritual energy in such an environment is still abundant, it lacks the ability to nurture spiritual beings.

Lu Cheng'an and the other Nascent Soul cultivators moved extremely fast. An hour later, they had searched the entire spatial rift and then left the spatial rift under the guidance of True Monarch Wanying.

After emerging from the spatial rift, they headed directly towards the Haoyang Sect, where they would distribute the treasures they had obtained within the spatial rift to the Huanggu Sect.

Haoyang Sect, Council Hall.

After arriving at Haoyang Sect, Lu Cheng'an and his group went directly to this place.

"Aside from the corpse of the Blood-Maned Sky Bull, these are all the spiritual items we obtained from the spatial rift. We need to exclude the Infant Transformation Grass, the Void Jade Milk, and the Azure Spirit Liquid. Among the remaining spiritual items are fourth-tier top-grade spiritual items..."

Lord Lieyang quickly inventoried all the spiritual items he had obtained from the spatial rift.

The reason why the three spiritual items, namely, the Nascent Soul Grass, the Void Jade Milk, and the Azure Spirit Liquid, are excluded is because all three are spiritual items that assist in the condensation of the Nascent Soul, with the Nascent Soul Grass being the most valuable among them.

The Nascent Soul Grass can be used to refine the fourth-grade low-rank Nascent Soul Pill. This pill is far more effective than other spiritual items in assisting the formation of the Nascent Soul.

Two mature Nascent Soul Grasses were born in this spatial rift. If these two Nascent Soul Grasses are refined properly, they should be able to produce six Nascent Soul Pills.

In the past, the Nascent Soul Grass obtained was always given to the alchemists of Medicine Spirit Valley to refine, since the alchemists of Medicine Spirit Valley had higher refining skills.

However, if you ask the alchemists of Yaoling Valley to refine the Nascent Soul Pill, you will have to pay the cost of refining at least one Nascent Soul Pill.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, as we discussed before, you can first select the fourth-tier spiritual items assigned to you, and then we will distribute them uniformly later!" True Monarch Lieyang said with a smile.

As previously stated, Lu Cheng'an could prioritize selecting one high-grade fourth-tier item, one mid-grade fourth-tier item, and two low-grade fourth-tier spiritual items.

This number isn't large, considering how much they gained from that spatial rift.

Excluding the corpse of the Blood-Maned Sky Bull, they obtained a total of five top-grade fourth-tier spiritual items, twenty-four high-grade fourth-tier spiritual items, forty-eight mid-grade fourth-tier spiritual items, and sixty-three low-grade fourth-tier spiritual items from the spatial rift.

"Thank you all, fellow Daoists. Then I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

Lu Cheng'an laughed loudly, and then began to select the spiritual items he needed.

He selected both of the low-grade fourth-tier spiritual items to help Lu Chengping refine his natal magic weapon, the mid-grade fourth-tier spiritual items to be the main materials for refining the Treasure Qi Returning to Origin Pill, and the high-grade fourth-tier spiritual items to be the materials for upgrading the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell.

After Lu Cheng'an finished making his selections, True Lord Lieyang began distributing the items.

"Following the previous rules, our Haoyang Sect will make the first selection, followed by the Huanggu Sect, Xuanjing Sect, and Fellow Daoist Lu. Once you have finished selecting your shares, the rest will all belong to our Haoyang Sect. I don't think anyone has any objections, right?" True Monarch Lieyang asked with a smile.

There are no restrictions on this selection; apart from spiritual items that assist in condensing the nascent soul, you can choose any item.

For example, among the five sets of top-grade fourth-tier spiritual items, after Haoyang Sect selects one set, the subsequent Huanggu Sect, Xuanjing Sect, and Lu Cheng'an can each select one set, and so on.

This is a rule established by the three sects of Haoyang Sect when they discovered that spatial rift, and it has not changed to this day.

After asking the same questions as before, Lu Cheng'an and the other Nascent Soul cultivators did not raise any objections.

Then, True Lord Lieyang selected a top-grade fourth-tier spiritual item.

Soon after, all the magical creatures were distributed.

At this time, under the supervision of True Lord Lieyang, the spiritual objects that would assist in the condensation of the Nascent Soul began to be distributed.

This time, they obtained a total of three spiritual items from the spatial rift: Nascent Soul Grass, Ethereal Jade Milk, and Azure Spirit Liquid, which are used to help condense a Nascent Soul.

Two of the Nascent Soul Grass plants should be enough to refine six Nascent Soul Pills. If you ask the alchemists in Medicine Immortal Valley to refine them, you will need to pay one Nascent Soul Pill as payment, leaving you with five pills.

Five portions of the ethereal jade milk are earth-attribute spiritual items, suitable only for cultivators practicing earth-attribute techniques.

Four portions of Azure Spirit Liquid. This is a metal-attribute spiritual item, suitable only for cultivators practicing metal-attribute techniques.

The Nascent Soul Pill, made from Nascent Soul Grass, is suitable for all cultivators, and therefore has the highest value.

Of all the spiritual items that Lu Chengping obtained from the spatial rift to aid in the condensation of his nascent soul, the only one suitable for him to consume was the Nascent Soul Transformation Pill, which he cultivated using a wood-attribute technique.

If the Nascent Soul Pill is successfully refined, it will be equivalent to having a total of fourteen spiritual items to assist in the condensation of the Nascent Soul.

As previously stated, Lu Cheng'an could only take one-tenth of it, which meant he would only receive one share.

The remaining deficiencies will be supplemented by other spiritual items from the three sects of Haoyang Sect. In short, they will definitely not give Lu Cheng'an another spiritual item to assist in condensing his nascent soul.

Because the Nascent Soul Pill had not yet been refined, True Lord Lieyang only distributed the Void Jade Milk and Azure Spirit Liquid, and only temporarily to the sects that needed to use these two spiritual items.

Lu Cheng'an naturally did not ask for the Void Jade Milk and Azure Spirit Liquid; he wanted to wait until the Nascent Soul Pill was refined.

"Let's divide the flesh and blood of the Blood-Maned Sky Bull according to the previously agreed-upon proportions!" True Lord Lieyang said casually, showing no particular concern for the corpse of this chaotic creature.

This is because they had previously obtained the corpses of chaotic creatures, and there were similar records in the ancient books collected by Haoyang Sect.

The chaotic creatures did not refine and absorb pure spiritual energy, but rather extremely complex and mixed power.

This causes their physical bodies to be affected by this power as well. If a cultivator like Lu Cheng'an, who is at the Nascent Soul stage, wants to use the corpses of chaotic creatures, he needs to first cleanse the harmful power from their bodies.

This was by no means an easy task for Nascent Soul cultivators like Lu Cheng'an.

Records in the Haoyang Sect's scriptures state that the domain condensed by a Nascent Soul cultivator can relatively easily extract foreign energy from the bodies of chaotic creatures, and this energy can also enhance the Nascent Soul cultivator's domain.

Therefore, some powerful Nascent Soul cultivators would enter the Chaos Space in groups to hunt Chaos creatures in order to enhance their domain power.

Unfortunately, the cultivation area they were in had long been devoid of any trace of Nascent Soul cultivators, making it difficult for them to remove the harmful power from the Bloodmane Sky Bull's corpse.

Seeing the reactions of True Monarch Lieyang and the others to the Blood-Maned Celestial Ox, Lu Cheng'an smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, I would like to study the Blood-Maned Celestial Ox's corpse to see if it can be used to refine magical artifacts and treasures. As compensation, I will no longer participate in the distribution of the remaining four portions of spiritual materials used to assist in the condensation of the Nascent Soul." (End of Chapter)
