Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 410 Demon Hunter Ranking

The mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator did not choose to self-destruct his primordial spirit, but his primordial spirit was also severely damaged. Faced with the combined attack of Tianyun Shangren, Biluo Yuanjun, and Li Yuan, his primordial spirit was instantly shattered.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you alright?" Li Yuan asked with concern, looking at Lu Cheng'an's pale face.

After helping Tianyun Shangren kill the mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator, Li Yuan stopped attacking those Nascent Soul demonic cultivators and quickly went to Lu Cheng'an's side.

Because Lu Chengan's situation is not good right now.

Lu Cheng'an's face was as pale as paper, blood kept spilling from his mouth, and his aura had weakened to the extreme, as if he had suffered a very serious injury.

All of this was naturally staged by Lu Cheng'an, since he had previously told Biluo Yuanjun that he would suffer a severe backlash after making this move.

"Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry, I'm not in any immediate danger!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly and said, "However, the backlash from forcibly using the Tranquil Ancient Seal at the end was quite severe, and I may need to recuperate for a long time!"

"Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Lu, but the main purpose of this mission is to eliminate that demonic cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

Li Yuan looked at Lu Cheng'an with an apologetic expression and said earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Lu, rest assured, once we deal with these demonic cultivators, the sect will definitely do its best to help you heal your injuries!"

Helping Lu Cheng'an recover from his injuries will certainly come at a price, but compared to killing those Nascent Soul demon cultivators, this price is nothing.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the power of Lu Cheng'an's Ancient Seal. This divine ability had a huge impact on cultivators at the same level as Lu Cheng'an.

Together with Lu Cheng'an, they managed to kill three demonic cultivators at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Otherwise, the sect leader wouldn't have sent a telepathic message asking Lu Cheng'an to help kill that mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator.

If the sect leader had spoken earlier, Lu Cheng'an wouldn't have suffered such a severe backlash, and he wouldn't be in such dire straits now.

While Lu Cheng'an and Li Yuan were talking, Tianyun Shangren and Biluo Yuanjun were still attacking those Nascent Soul demon cultivators.

There are now very few Nascent Soul cultivators left, mainly because the two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Red Cherry Yuanjun and Purple Cloud Ancestor, killed them too quickly.

"Fellow Daoists, let's join forces and wipe out all the demonic cultivators here!"

After killing the last Nascent Soul demon cultivator with a single blow, Hongying Yuanjun began to target the demon cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm.

The Pure Water Illusion Demon brought a large number of demonic cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm from Qian Yuan Prefecture, but unfortunately they were unable to join the battle against Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, during the battle, the Nascent Soul cultivators, including Hongying Yuanjun, each expanded their Dao Domains, completely sealing off the space of Black Crow Mountain. The demonic cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm stationed on Black Crow Mountain did not even have a chance to escape.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators, including the Pure Water Illusion Demon, have been slaughtered. The demon cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage in Black Crow Mountain have no chance of escape.

The Nascent Soul cultivators, including Hongying Yuanjun, released their Dao Domains. They didn't need to do anything else; they simply relied on the power of their Dao Domains to suppress and kill the demonic cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm.

Soon after, all the demonic cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage died!

With the loss of fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators, including Jing Shui Yuan Mo, plus the exposed mid-Nascent Soul spy Xu Lu Qing, Qian Yuan Prefecture has lost sixteen Nascent Soul cultivators this time, a truly devastating loss!
There are also quite a few cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm. The death of these demonic cultivators will definitely have a significant impact on Qian Yuan Prefecture.

After the demonic cultivators of Black Crow Mountain were wiped out, Hongying Yuanjun ordered a retreat back to Black Rock City.

"This battle was a great victory. We killed fifteen Nascent Soul demon cultivators and seventy-six Spirit Nascent Soul demon cultivators... Fellow Daoists, please go back and recuperate on your injuries. We will summarize the gains of this battle and make follow-up arrangements in three days!" Hongying Yuanjun said in a deep voice.

Before entering Blackrock City, Hongying Yuanjun made some simple arrangements.

Although they killed fifteen Nascent Soul demon cultivators, Li Yuan and other Nascent Soul cultivators also suffered some injuries.

Furthermore, Hongying Yuanjun and Zixiao Laozu needed to discuss some matters privately, so they did not directly discuss the gains from this battle.

The cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect and the Tian Shi Sect still have many unresolved questions, but since Hong Ying Yuan Jun made this arrangement, they did not inquire further.

Let's wait three days and then Hongying Yuanjun will surely tell them the whole story.

Lu Cheng'an then returned to the Yin Hua Sect's base in Black Rock City with the cultivators from the Yin Hua Sect.

"We owe our lives to Fellow Daoist Lu, who helped us kill four Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators!"

Master Tianyun looked at Lu Cheng'an with a smile, and then asked with concern, "How are your injuries, Fellow Daoist Lu? I have two Green Wood Replenishing Pills here, which can help you recover from your injuries!"

Master Tianyun took out a jade bottle from his storage artifact, inside which was the Green Wood Replenishing Pill.

The Green Wood Replenishing Pill is a low-grade fifth-order healing pill, considered a rare and precious healing pill.

These two Green Wood Replenishing Pills are quite valuable. If Lu Cheng'an hadn't helped Yin Hua Sect so much this time, Master Tianyun wouldn't have given him two at once.

"Aoki Buyuan Dan!"

A glint of light appeared in Lu Cheng'an's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, Sect Master. I will accept this pill!"

Lu Cheng'an knew about the Qingmu Buyuan Pill, a healing pill. This healing pill was very valuable and had excellent healing effects, so its price was naturally not cheap.

Master Tianyun offered him the Green Wood Replenishing Pill to heal his injuries, and he certainly wouldn't refuse.

Although his injuries were all faked, it didn't stop him from accepting these benefits.

"Before I fought the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture, Fellow Daoist Xuanxu said that as long as I performed well, once the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture were dealt with, the sect would find me the blood essence of a fifth-grade low-level fire-attribute demonic bird."

As Lu Cheng'an spoke, his gaze fell on Xuanxu Daoist, and he continued, "Now that all the demonic cultivators of Black Crow Mountain have been wiped out, I wonder when the sect can help me find the blood essence of a fifth-grade low-level fire-attribute demonic bird?"

The value of the blood essence of a fifth-tier low-grade fire-attribute demon bird is not as high as that of the Green Wood Replenishing Pill; it's just that the blood essence of a fifth-tier fire-attribute demon bird is relatively rare.

"Don't worry about this, Fellow Daoist Lu. There is a fifth-tier early-stage Yangyan Dragon Sparrow in Tianyao Mountain in Jinhua Prefecture. He is a fifth-tier early-stage fire-attribute demon bird. I will try to get a drop of his essence blood from him. He will definitely not refuse," said Venerable Tianyun with a smile.

Jinhua Prefecture is a territory occupied by demonic beasts, and Tianyao Mountain is a demonic force within Jinhua Prefecture. The Yangyan Dragon Sparrow is merely one of the fifth-tier demonic beasts of Tianyao Mountain. Now that Mengyuan Prefecture, Yunhai Prefecture, and Jinhua Prefecture are jointly resisting the attack of the demonic cultivators from Qianyuan Prefecture, it is no longer a difficult task for Master Tianyun to exchange a drop of essence blood from the Yangyan Dragon Sparrow.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sect Master!"

After expressing his gratitude to Master Tianyun, Lu Cheng'an took the initiative to return to his cave to heal his injuries.

After Lu Cheng'an left, the four Yin Hua Sect cultivators, including Tianyun Shangren and Biluo Yuanjun, gathered around him and began to discuss the matter.

"Sect Master, the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal Divine Ability that Lu Cheng'an has cultivated is too formidable. If one cannot break free from the control of this divine ability during battle, death is certain!"

Li Yuan looked thoughtful and continued, "Could we trade this divine ability with Lu Cheng'an? If we learn this divine ability, it will greatly enhance our strength."

Li Yuan, in cooperation with Lu Cheng'an, killed two demonic cultivators at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His understanding of the Quiet Ancient Seal was quite profound.

He was well aware of the terrifying power of the Jinggu Seal, which is why he had such thoughts.

After glancing at Li Yuan, Master Tianyun did not answer the question directly, but instead looked at Biluo Yuanjun.

"Biro, what do you think of Li Yuan's proposal? Should we trade the Jinggu Seal divine power with Lu Cheng'an?"

Biluo Yuanjun looked thoughtful. After a moment of silence, she said in a deep voice, "According to the sect leader, this Jinggu Seal involves the Dao of Time, but the Dao of Time is extremely difficult to comprehend. Even when the sect leader obtained a stele containing the power of time, he did not have a deep understanding of the Dao of Time."

"The power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal is very strong, but this also proves that in order to cultivate this divine power, one must have a relatively deep understanding of the Dao of Time."

"But our understanding of the Dao of Time is too shallow. Even if we exchange the Tranquil Ancient Seal for the divine power from Lu Cheng'an, it will be difficult for us to cultivate it successfully."

"Moreover, if we approach Lu Cheng'an at this time to trade the Jinggu Seal, it will inevitably cause Lu Cheng'an to have bad thoughts. If he leaves our Yinhua Sect and becomes a guest elder of another sect, that would be bad!"

Biluo Yuanjun had also tried to comprehend the inscription on the stele that Tianyun Shangren had taken out, but she felt that the power of time was too profound. Even though she spent a long time on it, it was of no use.

She was certain that even if they successfully obtained the Jinggu Seal from Lu Cheng'an, they would not be able to cultivate it to a high level.

They had successively killed three early-stage fifth-tier demonic cultivators, and she was certain that this must have attracted the attention of Rainbow Cherry Sovereign and Purple Cloud Ancestor.

These two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators could certainly guess why they killed those three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Next, she was a little worried that Hongying Yuanjun and Zixiao Laozu might extend an olive branch to Lu Cheng'an, inviting him to join their respective sects.

“Biro’s words make a lot of sense. Although the power of the Jinggu Seal is formidable, it involves the Dao of Time. I have been studying the Dao of Time for a long time and I know how difficult it is to comprehend such a great Dao.”

"The Tranquil Ancient Seal involves the power of time, which requires cultivators who cultivate this divine ability to have extremely high comprehension and a sufficient understanding of the Dao of Time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to successfully cultivate this divine ability."

Master Tianyun glanced at Li Yuan and said in a deep voice, "This matter ends here. No one should mention it again!"

"Sect Master, I understand!" Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

Master Tianyun nodded slightly and said, "This time we killed three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and one mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, which should give us five Hunting Points, enough to exchange for a Heavenly Sun Divine Pill!"

The Heavenly Yang Divine Pill is a fifth-grade superior pill. Its main function is to assist cultivators in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in breaking through to the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Master Tianyun's cultivation has reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If he were to take the Heavenly Yang Divine Pill, he would have a high chance of breaking through to the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The Heavenly Yang Divine Pill is an extremely precious elixir, and none of the three states of Mengyuan, Jinhua, and Yunhai have the capability to refine pills of this grade.

"Sect Master, has the Demon Hunting Ranking already been released?" Xuanxu Daoist asked in surprise.

"According to Hongying Yuanjun, the Demon Hunting Ranking has been basically completed, and its power has begun to radiate throughout the Xuanchen Realm!" Tianyun Shangren said with a smile.

The Demon Hunter Ranking is a magical artifact jointly created by four super powers in the Central Divine Continent: the Xuan Chen Sect, the Li Clan, the Wanfa Sect, and the Feixian Sect. If it is successfully refined, the Demon Hunter Ranking can reach the eighth-grade top quality.

The main purpose of the Demon Hunting Ranking is to monitor the entire Xuan Chen Realm. At that time, all cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm will be able to appear on the Demon Hunting Ranking.

Take the previous battle as an example. If the power of the Demon Hunter Ranking had already spread to Mengyuan Prefecture, the situation of Yun Shangren and others killing the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator would have been monitored.

"Even if nothing happens to the Demon Hunter Ranking now, you don't need to worry. Our killing of Nascent Soul demon cultivators has been recorded. When the Demon Hunter Ranking is officially released, we will still be able to obtain Demon Hunter Points based on it!"

"Next, Hongying Yuanjun and Zixiao Laozu should also tell us about this matter, and we will know the answer in three days!"

"You should all go back and adjust yourselves. Let's talk again in three days!"

They paid a price for killing those Nascent Soul demon cultivators, and they need to adjust their strategy.

After discussing the matter, Tianyun Shangren and Biluo Yuanjun returned to their respective caves to adjust their condition.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Master Tianyun led Lu Chengan and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yin Hua Sect toward the Yu Ling Sect's base.

"Sect Master Yun, has Fellow Daoist Zixiao already left?"

"Is the news that Sect Master Yun mentioned earlier about Xue Sha breaking through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm true or false? We slaughtered so many demonic cultivators from Qian Yuan Prefecture at Black Crow Mountain this time. We're probably going to face the Yuan Shui Demonic Sect's furious retaliation. How should we defend ourselves?"

…………

Once all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the three sects had arrived, Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren began to ask Hongying Yuanjun a series of questions.

The answers to these questions are what they desperately want to know. Although they joined forces with the Purple Cloud Ancestor of Yunhai Prefecture to massacre a large number of demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture.

However, this will undoubtedly enrage the Yuan Shui Demon Sect. If the Old Mother of Yuan Shui were to take action herself, they would have no chance of resisting her.

Hongying Yuanjun sat upright in the main seat. She glanced at Tianyun Shangren and the others, and said, "Fellow Daoists must have many questions in their hearts. Today, I will answer them one by one. Fellow Daoist Zixiao left Black Rock City on that day, and it is true that Xue Sha broke through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm..."
