Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"The information should be correct. The secret realm that Cheng Zhuo and the others discovered should be located above Wanlin Peak. Something must have happened, otherwise I would have been able to sense the entrance to the secret realm!"

A solemn expression appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. His current strength was immense; when his Nascent Soul power was unleashed, it was enough to cover most of Wanling Peak.

He had already searched Wanling Peak thoroughly, but he still hadn't found the secret realm where Lu Chengzhuo and the others were.

"First, send a message to the clan leader to inquire about more details of that secret realm and to find out about Cheng Zhuo and the others!"

Lu Cheng'an wasted no time. After quickly sending a message to Lu Wenxing, he continued searching for the location of the secret realm on Wanling Peak.

"Could something really have happened? We haven't received any messages from Cheng Zhuo and the others for quite some time now!"

Lu Wenxing's expression changed drastically after seeing the content of Lu Chengan's message.

He quickly thought about it and realized that he had not received any news from Lu Chengzhuo and the others since they started cultivating in the secret realm.

In just a few short years, Lu Wenxing never felt anything was amiss.

After all, Lu Chengzhuo and Lu Jingkang, the two siblings, were both at the Golden Core stage, and they were accompanied by Lu Jinglin and his sister, who were at the Nascent Soul stage.

After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Lu Wenxing immediately sent a message to Lu Cheng'an, telling him in detail what he knew and asking him what to do next.

After sending a message to Lu Wenxing, Lu Cheng'an used his methods to capture several cultivators who had entered Wanlin Peak.

The interior of Wanlin Peak is extremely dangerous, and cultivators who dare to enter this place are basically at the Golden Core stage.

Lu Cheng'an captured cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of the Golden Core realm, and most of them came from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Lu Cheng'an did not appear to ask questions, but instead used the Soul Searching Technique to investigate what had happened at Wanlin Peak recently.

Lu Cheng'an's Nascent Soul power was extremely strong, and the Soul Searching Technique he used was also extremely sophisticated.

It can be done without anyone noticing, and will not cause any harm to the cultivator whose soul is being searched.

Those Golden Core cultivators whose souls were searched by Lu Cheng'an only felt it, but they didn't know that their souls had been searched.

"Nothing unusual has happened at Wanlin Peak in the past few years, so the secret realm where Cheng Zhuo and the others were must have disappeared without a trace!"

Lu Cheng'an frowned deeply. The secret realm of Wanlin Peak was discovered by Lu Chengzhuo and the other two by chance, and the entrance was opened by Lu Jinglin and Lu Jingxiu, both Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Since that secret realm appeared on Wanlin Peak, it couldn't have just disappeared into thin air!"

A cold and stern expression appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. He then directly expanded his fire domain and began to probe the spatial fluctuations around Wanlin Peak.

The secret realm is a special space formed by spatial fluctuations. If Lu Cheng'an had a deeper understanding of the Dao of Space, he might be able to find the spatial fluctuations left behind when that secret realm existed.

Now that he has released the Fire Domain, he will be able to enhance his perception of the power of the surrounding space.

After searching around Wanlin Peak for five days, Lu Cheng'an finally discovered traces of the existence of that secret realm.

He then followed the trail and tracked it to the border between Hezhou and Heiyuan.

Why would the secret realm of Wanlin Peak suddenly appear in this place?

Once Lu Cheng'an sensed the location of that secret realm, he didn't hesitate at all.

He leaped into the air and appeared directly beside the once-sealed secret realm.

Lu Cheng'an didn't know exactly what had happened; he only sensed that the secret realm had been completely sealed off, and there was no longer an entrance.

Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for ordinary cultivators to enter the secret realm.

But this was not a difficult task for Lu Cheng'an, because Lu Cheng'an was strong enough and he also had some knowledge of the Dao of Space.

After Lu Cheng'an appeared less than ten feet away from the secret realm, he secretly activated the power of the fire domain and released the power of space, bombarding the secret realm space in front of him.

Lu Cheng'an could sense that the space of this secret realm was not particularly sturdy, and with his strength, he was capable of destroying the space of this secret realm.

If he were to use brute force to destroy it, it would directly cause the entire secret realm to collapse, and everything in the secret realm would be destroyed.

It is highly likely that Lu Chengzhuo and his group are still in the secret realm, so Lu Chengan did not use brute force to destroy it, but instead activated the spatial power to forcefully break open an entrance.

"Humph!"

"This secret realm is indeed unusual!"

Lu Cheng'an let out a cold snort. He felt that after the spatial power he released cut through the secret realm space, it was immediately resisted by a force.

The force blocking him was not weak; it should have the strength of a Nascent Soul Perfection Realm cultivator!

Lu Cheng'an did not back down. He pushed the power of the Fire Domain to its limit and unleashed the divine power of the Suspended Mirror Shattering the Sky Divine Light.

The Suspended Mirror Shattering Sky Divine Light is a spatial-type killing and attacking divine power. Lu Cheng'an has only cultivated this divine power to the Great Perfection level.

However, this supernatural power causes extremely serious damage to space!
A dazzling silver-white light shot out from Lu Cheng'an's palm and then directly into the secret realm space ahead.

The moment the power of the Mirror Shattering the Void Divine Light touched the secret realm, the power within the secret realm immediately resisted it.

However, the resistance it possessed was significantly weaker than the divine light of the Mirror Shattering the Void.

A moment later, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, the space struck by the silvery light shattered.

In an instant, under Lu Cheng'an's control, the shattered space formed a portal about ten feet high.

Without hesitation, Lu Cheng'an slipped into the portal.

Behind the portal lies the inner space of the secret realm.

Upon entering, Lu Cheng'an immediately sensed a strong aura of deathly stillness within the secret realm.

However, what one sees in the secret realm is an endless expanse of verdant ancient trees, as if they contain boundless vitality.

Lu Cheng'an pushed the power of the Fire Domain to its limit, then released his Nascent Soul power to search for Lu Chengzhuo and the others.

At the same time, a sliver of blood-red light appeared at Lu Cheng'an's fingertips. He quickly cast a hand seal and instantly detected Lu Chengzhuo's exact location.

"Cheng Zhuo is in this secret realm, and he is not in any immediate danger!"

Lu Cheng'an used a bloodline tracking technique. The closer the bloodlines of the cultivators, the stronger the effect of this technique.

Although the environment within the secret realm was extremely strange, Lu Cheng'an felt slightly relieved after confirming that Lu Chengzhuo and the others were not in mortal danger. He did not waste any time, but instead followed the guidance of the secret technique and flew directly towards the location of Lu Chengzhuo and the others.

The secret realm is not small; the entire realm is covered by lush ancient trees.

The place Lu Cheng'an entered was not the central area of ​​the secret realm. When he followed the guidance of the secret method to the place where Lu Chengzhuo and others were, he saw the increasingly thick and lush ancient trees.

These ancient trees contain abundant energy, but they are not ordinary spiritual plants.

"These ancient trees remind me a lot of the sand demons of the vast desert. Could this secret realm also be a method left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator after his death?"

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly. The thought had just crossed his mind when he sensed something unusual about the ancient, verdant tree below.

With a rustling sound, crystalline green light spots emerged from the endless forest, intertwining to form a green net that enveloped Lu Cheng'an's body.

Lu Cheng'an silently sensed the power surging from the green net, then pushed his fire domain power to its limit. A surge of flames erupted from the fire domain and collided with the green net in an instant.

"This green net contains the power of wood, this secret realm must be related to Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Lu Cheng'an's face was cold and stern. The wood element power contained in the green net was not weak, but it was far inferior to the fire element power of the desert that gave birth to the sand demons.

Even so, Lu Cheng'an was still unable to shatter the green net by relying solely on the flames generated within the fire domain.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an quickly brought out the Azure Nether True Yang Lamp, a secret treasure that he had just refined.

The Azure Nether True Yang Lamp is about the size of an ordinary lamp, and it is covered with mysterious flame runes.

Many of these flame runes were automatically generated by Lu Cheng'an during the refining process, and much of the power of these automatically generated runes came from the Azure Netherfire.

After Lu Cheng'an summoned the Azure Dark True Yang Lamp, wisps of bluish-gray flames surged out from it.

These bluish-gray flames quickly merged with Lu Cheng'an's fire domain power, forming an even more terrifying flame.

With a deafening roar, the green net formed by countless green light spots broke apart after being continuously burned by the flames, turning into specks of green light and dissipating.

However, Lu Cheng'an did not relax at all, because the green net was just an attack released by the ancient trees below. Although he destroyed the green net, it did not cause any damage to the ancient trees.

And that was exactly what happened. Almost the instant the green net collapsed, sharp, sword-like green leaves shot out from the forest below.

The dense green leaves formed a green ocean, instantly covering most of the sky.

These leaves are filled with rich wood elemental power, and each leaf contains an extremely terrifying power.

For a cultivator at the normal Nascent Soul stage, this leaf containing the power of the Wood Dao would be enough to take their life.

Lu Cheng'an reacted quickly, activating the power of the Fire Domain and the Azure Nether True Yang Lamp once again.

All the power of the Fire Domain was channeled into the Azure Nether True Yang Lamp, a secret treasure. In an instant, wisps of bluish-gray flames rose up, meeting the green leaves that were sweeping towards Lu Cheng'an's body.

These bluish-gray flames not only contain the power of the Fire Domain, but also the power of the Azure Netherfire.

The Azure Nether Flame was originally a low-grade fifth-order flame. After Lu Cheng'an refined it into the Azure Nether True Yang Lamp, its power was not weakened. On the contrary, with the blessing of the Azure Nether True Yang Lamp, this secret treasure, its power was greatly enhanced.

Now that the Azure Nether True Yang Suppressing Lamp, a secret treasure, has been blessed by the Fire Domain, the power of the Azure Nether Flame has risen once again.

Moreover, the Azure Netherfire originates from the Netherworld, and the power contained within this flame is more harmful to cultivators in the mortal realm.

Although the green leaves released by the ancient trees in the secret realm also contain the power of wood, this power of wood is relatively scattered.

After being impacted by the flames emanating from the Azure Nether True Yang Lamp, the wood elemental power contained within them was instantly neutralized, and the originally green leaves turned scorched yellow in an instant, finally dissipating into a spark of fire.

The bluish-gray flames filled most of the sky, and in an instant, the green leaves that had swept towards Lu Cheng'an disappeared without a trace.

The bluish-gray flames did not dissipate; under Lu Cheng'an's control, they roared and burned the ancient trees below.

At the same time, Lu Cheng'an also summoned the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan.

The Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan, this magical artifact, has also been upgraded to the fourth-tier top-grade level, and it also contains fire attacks.

With a gentle wave of the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan, seven-colored flames spread out, following the previous bluish-gray flames as they swept down into the forest below.

Although these ancient trees contain extremely powerful energy, the previous attacks have also greatly depleted them.

Now, facing Lu Cheng'an's fierce attack, they are finding it difficult to withstand.

The azure barrier formed on the canopy of these ancient trees held for only a moment before being shattered by the surrounding raging flames.

Then the flames swept up and instantly covered the huge canopies of these ancient trees.

These flames contain the power of fire, and when the ancient trees are affected by this power, the faint wood element within their trunks disintegrates in an instant.

Without the support of the power of wood, these enormous ancient trees could not withstand the burning of the surrounding flames, and their lush canopies were soon engulfed in raging flames.

The fire spread rapidly, covering several miles in just a few breaths.

Lu Cheng'an stared solemnly at the raging flames below. He didn't believe that anything in this secret realm would allow the fire to continue spreading.

Suddenly, accompanied by an angry roar, the ancient green trees surrounding the flames withered and vanished in an instant, turning into specks of bluish-yellow light.

In an instant, the secret realm that was originally covered by lush ancient trees became completely bare, and all the ancient trees disappeared at the same time.

However, Lu Cheng'an's expression did not relax at all, because he felt an extremely terrifying aura emanating from the depths of the secret realm.

"That is……"

Lu Cheng'an looked at the enormous ancient tree, which was over a hundred feet tall, with a look of shock on his face.

The trunk of that huge ancient tree was extremely thick, but the leaves in its crown were extremely sparse, with only a pitiful few hanging on the branches.

These few scattered leaves are as green as jade, and a layer of bluish-green mist surrounds them.

Lu Cheng'an sensed an extremely rich power of wood energy from it.

The enormous ancient tree was rapidly approaching Lu Cheng'an, its thick roots surging out of the soil and churning the ground beneath it.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous ancient tree was only a few miles away from Lu Cheng'an. (End of Chapter)
