Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Although this ancient tree surpasses Lu Cheng'an in skill in woodworking, its current condition is extremely poor.

Although the ancient tree used the power of death to attack Lu Cheng'an, the power of death and annihilation had a greater impact on the ancient tree.

This means that the ancient trees cannot exert their full power!
Under the Dao Fire Finger, the power of the Wood Dao burned fiercely. Although the power of death and silence was also affected, the speed at which this power dissipated was far slower than that of the power of the Wood Dao.

After observing in the shadows for a while, Lu Cheng'an once again unleashed his Dao Fire, sweeping out the surrounding wood Dao power.

The two Dao Fire Finger strikes frantically consumed the wood Dao power accumulated within the tree trunk, and suddenly the balance between the wood Dao power and the deathly still power within the tree trunk was broken.

The two forces began to collide violently, producing a series of explosions.

A smile appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. He summoned the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell and then took out the Azure Nether True Yang Lamp. Using these two treasures to clear a path, he quickly rushed out of the tree trunk.

Impacted by the Dao Fire Finger, the wood Dao power and the deathly stillness power within the ancient tree trunk became completely unbalanced.

The power of death surged, constantly impacting the wooden energy within the tree trunk, causing the ancient tree's condition to deteriorate.

However, the ancient tree reacted immediately after sensing that Lu Cheng'an was preparing to escape from its origin.

A bluish-brown chain shot out and swept towards Lu Cheng'an's body.

The forces that make up this chain are quite peculiar, containing two mutually repulsive forces: the power of wood and the power of death.

However, when these two forces are combined, they also unleash an extremely terrifying power.

Previously, Lu Cheng'an was pulled into the trunk of the ancient tree by this force.

After feeling this power again, a solemn expression appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face.

With a flick of his finger, a Dao Fire Finger Imprint quickly condensed and slammed into the bluish-brown chain.

With a loud bang, the fiery finger mark and the bluish-brown chain vanished at the same time.

Lu Cheng'an was overjoyed, but dared not hesitate at all, and continued to charge out of the tree trunk.

After sensing that Lu Cheng'an continued to flee, Gu Mu wanted to continue to condense the cyan-brown chains to block Lu Cheng'an.

However, condensing that bluish-brown chain consumed a lot of its energy, and the collapse of that bluish-brown chain had also greatly affected the ancient tree.

The power of wood and the power of death within its body were already on the verge of going out of control, and with the collapse of that bluish-brown chain, these two equally powerful forces, the power of wood and the power of death, completely spiraled out of control.

Lu Cheng'an vaguely sensed the condition of the ancient tree, but he did not waste time checking it. Instead, he quickly rushed out of the tree trunk.

He didn't know the origin of this mysterious ancient tree, but he was certain that it was definitely a Nascent Soul stage being under normal conditions.

Even though the ancient tree is in extremely bad condition and its strength has been greatly weakened, he is still no match for it.

At this moment, the ancient tree had no time to pay attention to Lu Cheng'an; it was doing its best to suppress the violent, lifeless power within its trunk.

Once the power of death erupts fully within the tree trunk, the ancient tree will be completely eroded by this power, and then it will face true death.

Without the ancient tree blocking his way, it became much easier for Lu Cheng'an to escape from the tree trunk.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an left the ancient tree and re-entered the secret realm.

Perhaps due to the condition of the ancient tree, the power within the secret realm has become extremely unstable, and even the space itself seems on the verge of collapse.

A shadow fell over Lu Cheng'an's mind. After quickly determining his location, he sped off in the direction where Lu Chengzhuo and the others were.

Lu Chengzhuo and the others were in the central area of ​​the secret realm. When Lu Cheng'an found them, they were unconscious and had been simply sealed in the soil dozens of feet underground.

They were sealed by the power of wood and the power of death, but this seal did not cause any harm to Lu Chengzhuo and the others; it only kept them unconscious.

Lu Cheng'an quickly examined the seal and found that he could not break it in a short time.

Considering the unstable environment of the secret realm and the powerful ancient trees, Lu Cheng'an used the surging clouds beneath his feet to envelop the unconscious Lu Chengzhuo and the other three in the clouds, and then took them away from the secret realm.

The space within the secret realm has become somewhat unstable, making it easier for Lu Cheng'an to leave than to enter.

"This is the vast desert!"

"That ancient tree is indeed related to the sand demon of the Vast Desert!"

After leaving the secret realm, Lu Cheng'an confirmed that he was no longer in Wanfeng Forest in Hezhou, where the secret realm was originally located, but in the vast desert.

The environment of the vast desert is very easy to see, and Lu Cheng'an had entered the vast desert before.

For some unknown reason, the original secret realm was moved directly from Hezhou to the Hanhai Desert, which puzzled Lu Cheng'an and made him feel that the Hanhai Desert might be more dangerous than he had imagined.

Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell on Lu Chengzhuo and the others. He then suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, urged the cloud beneath his feet, and quickly left the area of ​​the Vast Sea Desert.

He has only glimpsed a corner of the secrets of the vast desert, and from this corner, one can see what kind of dangers are hidden within the vast desert.

If he were alone, he could still explore, but now he is with Lu Chengzhuo and others who are still in danger, so he must leave the dangerous place of the Vast Desert.

Lu Cheng'an did not encounter any danger during his departure from the Han Hai Desert. After entering Yanzhou, he did not disturb the cultivators of the Jiuxiao Sect and Tianhuo Sect. Instead, he found a secluded place and quickly built a simple cave dwelling.

"During the time I was trapped in the secret realm, the clan leader and the others were almost driven mad with worry!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. After he came out of the secret realm, the communication device he carried kept ringing.

After seeing the message from his clansmen through the communication artifact, he realized that during the time he was trapped in the secret realm, the cultivators in his clan all thought that he had also met with an accident.

After a brief sigh, Lu Cheng'an sent messages to the cultivators in his clan, informing them that he had safely returned from the secret realm with Lu Chengzhuo and the others.

Without wasting any time, he led Lu Chengzhuo and the others into the cave and began to try to break the seals on their bodies.

"That ancient tree's use of the power of wood is far superior to my use of the power of fire. If conditions permit, I would like to have another match with it!"

After sensing the power of wood contained within the seals of Lu Chengzhuo and the others, Lu Cheng'an couldn't help but sigh softly.

Although his journey to the secret realm was extremely dangerous, the gains were also enormous. While the power of wood and the power of death within the tree trunk were constantly impacting the fire domain he had condensed, he also used this opportunity to greatly deepen his understanding of the way of fire.

The reason he was able to do this was largely due to the insights he gained from the power of wood within the tree trunk.

Lu Cheng'an was able to condense a fire domain at the Nascent Soul stage because of his physique, physical attributes, and exceptional comprehension.

During this period, he was not given any guidance by cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Although the power of wood within the ancient tree trunk was attacking him, it was also like a Nascent Soul cultivator demonstrating the application of the power of the Great Dao.

Although the process was fraught with danger, it was also a rare opportunity for Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an controlled the power of his nascent soul to enter Lu Chengzhuo's body, carefully observing the seal formed by the power of wood and the power of death within Lu Chengzhuo's body.

This seal is not particularly complex; it is only because the seal's power is composed of the power of wood and the power of death that it is difficult to break.

If a cultivator cannot utilize the power of the Great Dao, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking this seal.

Lu Cheng'an had already mastered the power of fire. After studying the seal within Lu Chengzhuo's body for five days, he figured out a way to break the seal.

Inside the cave, Lu Cheng'an released his Fire Domain, and the power of the Fire Domain enveloped Lu Chengzhuo and the others.

Afterwards, under Lu Cheng'an's control, the power of fire entered Lu Chengzhuo's body. This power of fire split into wisps of fire, which slowly seeped into the seals within Lu Chengzhuo and the others.

This was a very slow process, and Lu Cheng'an was extremely careful because any unexpected event could endanger the lives of Lu Chengzhuo and the others.

Whether it's the power of wood, the power of fire, or the power of death, all three are extremely advanced.

Even Lu Jinglin and Lu Jingxiu, who had the highest cultivation levels, were only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Even the slightest leakage of the power of the Great Dao can cause irreparable damage to their physical bodies.

Six days later, Lu Cheng'an withdrew the fire domain, which was still only thirty-five feet wide, and quietly waited for Lu Chengzhuo and the others to wake up.

He had already released the seals from Lu Chengzhuo and the others. Although the seals had not caused them any harm, their bodies were inevitably weakened after being unconscious for so long.

Although the seals on their bodies have been lifted, it is impossible for them to wake up immediately.

"As things stand, the larger the Fire Domain is not necessarily better. Before I break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, maintaining the current size of the Fire Domain is just right!"

Lu Cheng'an felt the power of his fire domain. Although the range of the fire domain had shrunk by nearly half, its power had not diminished at all.

On the contrary, because his understanding of the Way of Fire has deepened, the power of the Fire Domain has been greatly enhanced.

Although his fire domain had expanded to over sixty zhang before, it was not very stable at that time.

This is also the main reason why the Fire Domain showed signs of collapse when he faced the impact of the power of wood and the power of death within the ancient tree trunk.

The fire domain has now been compressed by nearly half, but it has become more solid.

"Unfortunately, I still know too little about the Nascent Soul realm!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. If he could learn more about the Nascent Soul realm, the power of the fire domain he condensed would definitely be even more formidable.

Just as Lu Cheng'an's thoughts were scattered, Lu Jinglin and Lu Jingxiu, the two Nascent Soul cultivators, slowly regained their senses.

"Lu Jinglin and Lu Jingxiu greet Uncle Cheng'an and thank him for saving their lives!"

"We two have failed in our duties, and we beg Uncle Cheng'an to punish us!"

Both Lu Jinglin and Lu Jingxiu were Nascent Soul cultivators, and after regaining consciousness, they immediately understood what had happened.

They were cultivating in seclusion in the secret realm when they were suddenly attacked by a force.

The power was too strong; they had no power to resist. They simply lost consciousness after sensing the power within their bodies and only woke up now.

They didn't know what happened after they lost consciousness, but their mission at the time was to ensure the safety of Lu Chengzhuo and the other two, which was their dereliction of duty.

"It's not your fault. There's an ancient tree in that secret realm that's comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even I almost fell victim to its ambush!"

Lu Cheng'an looked at Lu Jinglin and his sister with gentle eyes. Their strength was far inferior to that of the ancient tree. If he were to blame them for dereliction of duty, he would be making things difficult for them.

"You were unconscious due to the seal imposed by that ancient tree. I recently removed the seal from your bodies. Do you feel any discomfort now?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a smile.

He has already examined Lu Jinglin and the others, and can basically confirm that they do not have any problems at present.

However, he was a little worried that there might be areas he couldn't detect, so he needed to confirm with Jinglin and the other person before he could feel at ease.

Lu Jinglin and Lu Jingxiu had just regained consciousness and hadn't even had time to check their physical condition before they began to apologize to Lu Cheng'an. However, they didn't feel any discomfort in their bodies.

Upon hearing Lu Cheng'an's question, they quickly answered him and then began to check their own physical condition.

"Reporting to Uncle Cheng'an, we found no abnormalities in our bodies!" Lu Jinglin and his companion replied immediately after their examination.

“You’ve just regained consciousness, so focus on resting and recovering until Cheng Zhuo and the other two are fully awake!” Lu Cheng’an said.

Lu Chengzhuo, Lu Jingkang, and Lu Jingle are all at the Golden Core stage. Their strength is far inferior to that of Lu Jinglin and his sister, so they have not yet regained consciousness.

Two hours after Lu Jinglin and his sister regained consciousness, Lu Chengzhuo and the other two slowly woke up.

As usual, Lu Cheng'an inquired about the health of Lu Chengzhuo and the other two, and only after confirming that they were all fine did he feel completely relieved.

"Jinglin, Jingxiu, you two rest here a bit longer, then take Chengzhuo and the others back to the family later. I have some things to take care of in Yanzhou now!" Lu Chengan said.

The fact that the secret realm was moved from Hezhou to the vast desert made Lu Cheng'an feel puzzled and worried.

Yanzhou is the closest place to the Gobi Desert, and they are quite familiar with it.

Next, Lu Cheng'an planned to find cultivators from the Nine Heavens Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect to tell them about the secret realm and ask them more questions about the Vast Sea Desert. (End of Chapter)
