Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Jiuxiao Sect, Welcoming Peak.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul Perfection and Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators of the Nine Heavens Sect, the Nascent Soul Perfection and Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators of the Heavenly Fire Sect, as well as the Heavenly Blade True Monarch and the Blood Blade True Monarch, have all gathered here.

Lu Cheng'an wanted to see the core texts of their three sects, so after a brief discussion, they decided that the three sects should make the decision together.

Because Lu Cheng'an is currently still at the Welcoming Peak of the Heavenly Fire Sect, they decided to hold their discussions at the Nine Heavens Sect instead of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

"You all know what Lu Cheng'an means. Now tell me your opinion: should we let Lu Cheng'an see the core classics of our sects?" True Monarch Tianhuo sighed softly.

"Sect Master, the scriptures concerning the Nascent Soul realm are the core secrets of the sect. Although the Vast Sea Desert is currently quite dangerous, it may not actually be so dangerous in the future. I don't think we should agree to Lu Cheng'an's request so easily!"

“However, what Lu Cheng’an said makes some sense, and his own strength is too formidable, so we can’t directly refuse him. Our three sects have more than one book on the Nascent Soul realm, so I think we can give him some less important ones!”

…………

Perhaps the danger of the Vast Desert has not yet truly manifested, and the cultivators of the three sects of the Heavenly Fire Sect have not felt a real threat.

More than half of the cultivators from the three sects of the Heavenly Fire Sect did not want to agree to Lu Cheng'an's request.

The cultivators from the three sects who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, including True Monarch Tianhuo, also held this view; otherwise, True Monarch Tianhuo would have agreed immediately.

After three days of serious discussion and analysis, they finally decided to agree to only half of Lu Cheng'an's demands.

They would give Lu Cheng'an some unimportant texts about the Nascent Soul realm collected in the sect, but they would not allow Lu Cheng'an to access the texts that involved the sect's core secrets.

After reaching a conclusion, the Nascent Soul cultivators, including True Monarch Tianhuo, did not waste any more time.

After they had each compiled the books they had given to Lu Cheng'an to read, they returned together to the Welcoming Peak of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

Upon seeing the scriptures given to him by Nascent Soul cultivators such as True Monarch Tianhuo, a cold smile immediately appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face.

"If you don't agree to my demands, you don't need to try to fool me with this garbage!"

After casually placing a jade slip down, Lu Cheng'an felt the clouds surging beneath his feet, instantly lifting his body away from the welcoming peak of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

This result was within his expectations. The Heavenly Fire Sect and the Nine Heavens Sect were extremely powerful and still possessed a very strong foundation.

Although True Monarch Tianhuo and the others were no match for Lu Cheng'an, if they hid within the mountain gate's protective formation, Lu Cheng'an would be powerless against them.

Therefore, after learning the intentions of the three sects of the Heavenly Fire Sect, Lu Cheng'an did not forcibly attack them, nor did he accept the scriptures they offered.

The scriptures brought out by the three sects of the Heavenly Fire Sect were indeed related to the Nascent Soul realm, but Lu Cheng'an had already read many of them.

The contents of the remaining unread books were all empty talk and of no use to Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an's reaction caused the expressions of Tianhuo Zhenjun and the others to change drastically. They did not expect Lu Cheng'an to leave directly, without even intending to trade or negotiate with them.

"Lu Cheng'an has left just like that. What should we do next? Should we try to win him back?" Tian Dao Zhenjun asked in a deep voice.

"No need. No matter how strong Lu Cheng'an is, he's just a Nascent Soul cultivator. Relying on the sect's protective formation and its resources, we can still kill him now!" True Monarch Tianhuo said coldly.

"If the situation in the Vast Desert is truly as Lu Cheng'an described, then even if Lu Cheng'an comes to help, it won't change the final outcome!"

"As for his claim of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, how could it be so simple? Otherwise, with our resources, how could we not have cultivated any Nascent Soul cultivators all these years!"

Huang Xiaozhenjun frowned slightly, let out a helpless sigh, and ultimately said nothing more.

Although he had a bad feeling, he also felt that what True Lord Tianhuo said was right.

Breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm is extremely difficult for Nascent Soul cultivators. Even though Lu Cheng'an's current display of power suggests he may very well break through to the Divine Transformation Realm, there is still a high chance he will fail.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware of the thoughts of Tianhuo Zhenjun and the others. After leaving Tianhuo Sect, he left Yanzhou and sped back to his family.

After confirming that Lu Chengan, Lu Chengzhuo, and the others were out of danger, Lu Wenxing and the other Lu family cultivators resumed their work on building up the family.

When Lu Cheng'an returned to his family, he did not hide his whereabouts. After Lu Jingkun and other cultivators of the Lu family noticed that Lu Cheng'an had returned, they consciously put down their work and went together to find Lu Cheng'an to ask about what had happened in the secret realm.

"That secret realm in Hezhou is extremely dangerous. Not long after I entered the secret realm..."

Lu Cheng'an's explanation to the Nascent Soul cultivators in the clan was much more detailed, but this news also made Lu Wenxing and other cultivators in the Lu family feel extremely worried.

"What's the deal with that ancient tree in the secret realm? I have a feeling it's deliberately there to lure you in!"

"I feel the same way. Otherwise, why would it only seal off Cheng Zhuo and the others without harming their lives?"

…………

“I have the same feeling. That ancient tree seems to be luring me into the secret realm. If it refines my physical body, it should be able to gain considerable benefits!” Lu Cheng’an said.

This was not his guess, but rather the information that the ancient tree itself revealed at the time.

"I have already escaped from the secret realm with Cheng Zhuo and the others, so you don't need to worry about this anymore!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled calmly, then said very seriously, "Jingkun, Chengping, you should put aside the matter of building the family's protective mountain formation for now, and focus on cultivating and improving your cultivation. I'm worried that there will be another disturbance in the Vast Sea Desert!"

Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping have spent a long time working on the Lu family's protective mountain formation, and now the formation is basically complete.

The Lu family is currently the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivator in the three states of Qing, He, and Tai. Even without the protective mountain formation, the cultivators in these three states would not dare to attack the Lu family.

If the Lu family is still attacked under such circumstances, even if the Lu family's protective mountain formation is completed, it will not change the final outcome.

The main reason for this is that Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping's cultivation levels are slightly lower, and their skills in spirit arrays are also lacking.

If their cultivation levels reach the Nascent Soul Perfection realm and their spirit array skills reach the peak of the fourth-tier top grade, then the mountain-protecting array they build can truly protect the safety of the Lu family.

Not only Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping, but Lu Chengan also made other cultivators in the clan devote their energy to cultivation.

After the Lu family sect moved to the Hong'e Mountains, the cultivation resources they occupied increased significantly.

The Hong'e Mountains contain abundant mineral resources, including large spirit stone mines.

Lu Jingkun had already explored all the mineral deposits in the Hong'e Mountains, and these deposits were now being mined. The Lu family didn't have many cultivators involved in mining, as the main force behind the mining was the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains.

The Lu family did not kill the demonic beasts in the Hong'e Mountains, but instead had powerful fourth-tier demonic beasts such as the Golden Bee Demon King manage the lower-tier demonic beasts.

After the Lu family moved their mountain gate to the Hong'e Mountains, Lu Jingkun began mining the mineral deposits he had previously discovered in the Hong'e Mountains.

At that time, the Lu family assigned the Golden Bee Demon King and other demon beasts to be in charge of this matter.

Demonic beasts with cultivation levels of three or higher are already as intelligent as human cultivators, and mining is not a difficult task for them.

The mineral deposits in the Hong'e Mountains not only supply the needs of the Lu family, but also bring them a very large fortune.

Within the Lu family's mountain gate, several fourth-order spiritual veins have been cultivated.

The spiritual energy released by these spiritual veins made the spiritual energy concentration at the Lu family's mountain gate extremely high, enough to supply the cultivation needs of all the cultivators in the Lu family.

Therefore, the Lu family no longer needs to worry about cultivation resources. The ancient tree that appeared in the Vast Desert, comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, made Lu Cheng'an feel extremely worried.

After careful consideration, he instructed the cultivators in his clan to temporarily set aside other matters and focus on improving their own cultivation.

“We will all listen to Uncle Cheng’an. It just so happens that the sect’s protective formation is now basically completed!” Lu Jingkun said.

The Lu family cultivators did not raise any further objections to Lu Cheng'an's arrangements.

After recounting the events that had occurred within the secret realm to the Lu family cultivators, Lu Cheng'an returned to his cave to continue his secluded cultivation.

The appearance of the ancient tree in the secret realm made him feel a sense of urgency; he needed to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, if all the strange creatures in the vast desert were to revive, it would be difficult for him to protect all the cultivators in the Lu family.

After Lu Cheng'an went into seclusion, Lu Jingkun, Lu Chengping, and other Lu family cultivators also stopped what they were doing and announced that they would go into seclusion to cultivate.

However, the various household affairs of the Lu family still needed to be handled by someone, and this matter was handled by Lu Wenxing.

After Lu Wenxing broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, he had already exhausted his potential.

It wasn't short a time since he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, but his cultivation progress was extremely slow, and he didn't know when he would be able to break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

He has now given up on continuing his cultivation and instead devotes his main energy to handling family affairs.

With Lu Wenxing, a Nascent Soul cultivator, handling the family's affairs, no problems arose even though Lu Cheng'an and other mid-to-high-level cultivators of the Lu family were all in seclusion.

Time passed slowly, and three months went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the spiritual energy on Mount Suixing surged, and the spiritual energy of Mount Suixing and its surroundings frantically converged towards Lu Yonghui's cave.

This is an unusual phenomenon caused by Lu Yonghui's cultivation level about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Long before Lu Cheng'an went to that secret realm, Lu Yonghui had already been in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

After such a long period of effort, he has finally reached the final step and begun to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Yonghui hadn't been cultivating for very long, but he had a very high talent for it.

His cultivation method was the same as Lu Jingkun's, the Earthly Jade Book. Lu Jingkun had given him guidance many times, which greatly reduced the problems he encountered in his cultivation.

"This fluctuation of spiritual energy is coming from the Star of Years Peak; it means Yonghui's cultivation is about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

"Yonghui has a very solid foundation, so his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm should be relatively smooth!"

…………

Lu Jingkun and the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lu family who were in seclusion soon sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy on Mount Suixing. They all knew that Lu Yonghui was in seclusion on Mount Suixing, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The spiritual energy fluctuations on Suixing Peak are so intense right now, there's only one possibility: Lu Yonghui is currently attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

They had great confidence in Lu Yonghui, but also some concerns.

Because Lu Yonghui's master, Lu Jingtong, died while trying to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Yonghui is currently the most talented spirit plant master in the Lu family. If Lu Yonghui fails to break through to the Nascent Soul realm this time and ends up like Lu Jingtong, then the Lu family may not be able to rise in the field of spirit plants for a long time.

Lu Cheng'an also sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations of Suixing Peak, but he did not leave his cave. Instead, he continued to focus on improving his cultivation.

It took Lu Yonghui a total of six days to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Six days later, the strange phenomenon on Suixing Peak disappeared, and the Lu family gained a new Nascent Soul cultivator.

Lu Yonghui received a message from Lu Wenxing shortly after his cultivation breakthrough.

Besides inquiring about Lu Yonghui's health and cultivation level, Lu Wenxing also asked when Lu Yonghui would be able to finish consolidating his cultivation.

Because there are still some things that Lu Yonghui needs to handle.

On the day Lu Cheng'an returned from the Nether River, he brought back not only the Azure Nether Flame and treasures to aid in the condensation of the Nascent Soul, but also a seedling of a fourth-grade low-rank Earth Soul Tree.

The seedlings of the Earth Soul Tree are of a high grade of fourth rank, and it is not an easy task to successfully transplant such a spiritual plant.

When Lu Cheng'an returned to his family, Lu Yonghui was already in seclusion preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

At that time, in order not to disturb Lu Yonghui's cultivation, they did not tell Lu Yonghui about this matter.

The seedling of the Earth Soul Tree is currently under a sealed environment to preserve its vitality as much as possible, waiting for Lu Yonghui's cultivation breakthrough to yield results before transplanting this spiritual plant.

Nearly a year has passed, and Lu Yonghui's cultivation has successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. Lu Wenxing couldn't help but want to tell Lu Yonghui about transplanting the Earth Soul Tree.

After seeing Lu Wenxing's message, Lu Yonghui quickly replied to Lu Wenxing.

His breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm this time was without any setbacks. After successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, his foundation remained extremely solid, and it wouldn't be long before he was able to consolidate his cultivation at the Nascent Soul realm.

After truthfully informing the clan chief of his situation, he quickly received a reply from the clan chief. (End of Chapter)
