Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"Cheng'an, how have you been these past years? Have you ventured into the cultivation world? We were all so worried about you!"

"What are your plans next? Do you intend to leave the family again?"

…………

After Lu Cheng'an returned to the Lu family, Lu Wenxing, Lu Wenhua and others immediately began to inquire about Lu Cheng'an's situation over the years.

Their faces were filled with concern. Lu Cheng'an hadn't been away for a particularly long time in recent years, but he had gone to an unknown place, so they couldn't help but worry.

"I've been doing well these past few years. I helped the Green-Faced Ghost King deal with the ghosts of Wanhe Palace, and then I entered the mortal world through the interdimensional passage of Wanhe Palace... How has the clan fared during the years I've been away?"

Lu Cheng'an recounted his experiences over the years in detail. When Lu Wenxing and the others learned that they had been living in the so-called Burial Ground of Immortals, they were all somewhat upset.

Because they could clearly sense that the cultivators outside the Burial Ground did not regard them as true people of the Xuan Chen Realm.

Of course, they didn't remain depressed for long, because Lu Cheng'an said he could take them out of the Burial Ground of Immortals.

“After you left, the family has been developing steadily over the years, with the number of cultivators at the Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refining stages increasing rapidly.”

"It's not just our Lu family; the strength of cultivation sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect is also steadily increasing. But now we all face a problem. The number of new cultivators is increasing, but cultivation resources are fixed. Our family is doing well for now, but sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect are already showing signs of resource shortages!"

"We currently face no threats, but the number of cultivators will undoubtedly increase again, leading to a shortage of cultivation resources in the future, including for our Lu family!"

When Lu Wenxing talked about this matter, a deep look of worry appeared on his face.

There are currently no major wars in any of the states, which has led to a situation where the rate of increase in the number of cultivators far exceeds the rate of loss.

"Don't worry about that. Once I find a stable passage to leave the Burial Immortal Land, I will bring all the late-stage and perfect Nascent Soul cultivators from each state away from here!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The consumption of cultivation resources by a cultivator in the late or perfect Nascent Soul stage is enormous, far exceeding that of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.

If Lu Cheng'an takes these high-level Nascent Soul cultivators away, the shortage of cultivation resources in the Burial Immortal Land will be greatly alleviated.

Lu Wenxing smiled and nodded, saying, "Not long after you left the family, Chengping and Jingkun used the spirit vein bead you brought back to cultivate the fourth-order spirit vein of Sun Mountain into a fifth-order spirit vein. Ningyu successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm sixteen years ago. However, Ningyu's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm was not particularly smooth. After breaking through, she has been in seclusion to consolidate her cultivation and has not left her cave until now..."

After Lu Wenxing finished explaining Shi Ningyu's situation, he then talked about the situations of the other cultivators in the Lu family.

For example, Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, and were only one step away from breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

Originally, Lu Jingkun also wanted to try to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, but after seeing Shi Ningyu break through to the Nascent Soul realm, he felt that his own accumulation was somewhat insufficient, so he did not try to break through again.

Although Lu Chengping was much older than Lu Jingkun, his talent for cultivation was slightly inferior to Lu Jingkun's, and he was even less confident in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Besides Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun, Lu Chengyao, Lu Yonghui, and others have also improved their cultivation levels.

However, Lu Cheng'an's absence from the family this time was not long, and these people's cultivation levels did not make much progress.

After learning about the family's recent situation, Lu Cheng'an took out the fifth-order spirit vein bead, the pure yang spirit-condensing pill, and materials containing spatial power.

"These are fifth-tier spirit vein beads, just like the ones I brought back from the Vast Sea Desert. However, these fifth-tier spirit vein beads are even better than the ones I brought back from the Vast Sea Desert. There are four in total. Brother Chengping and Jingkun will integrate them into the spirit veins of Sun Peak, Moon Peak, and Jupiter Peak."

Lu Cheng'an directly handed the four fifth-order spirit vein beads to Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun.

Taiyin Peak and Taiyang Peak are the core of the Lu family's mountain gate. If a fifth-order spiritual vein is cultivated in these two spiritual peaks, it can nourish all the spiritual peaks of the Lu family.

Suixing Peak is the location of the Lu family's medicinal herb garden, where a large number of medicinal herbs are planted.

Lu Yonghui's cultivation level is currently at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. In recent years, he has not spent much time on cultivation, but has been painstakingly nurturing the Five Elements True Essence Lotus and Earth Soul Tree that Lu Chengan brought back from the Netherworld.

These two spiritual plants have a very high potential, but they also have a great demand for spiritual energy, and there are certain requirements for the quality of the spiritual energy.

The Jupiter Peak is the peak with the most abundant spiritual energy besides the Taiyin Peak and the Taiyang Peak, but it still cannot fully meet the needs of the Five Elements True Essence Lotus and the Earth Soul Tree.

When the Lu family wanted to cultivate a fifth-order spiritual vein, Lu Yonghui requested that the fifth-order spiritual vein be cultivated on Suixing Peak first, but this was rejected by Lu Wenxing and other Nascent Soul cultivators.

When Lu Yonghui heard that Lu Chengan was going to cultivate a fifth-order spiritual vein on Suixing Peak, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

He was extremely excited at that moment. If Lu Chengan hadn't had something else to say, he would have jumped up to thank him.

"These five are Pure Yang Condensing Spirit Pills, breakthrough pills used to help cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage break through to the Deity Transformation stage. The Deity Transformation stage is a very important stage, and I do not recommend using Pure Yang Condensing Spirit Pills to break through to the Deity Transformation stage unless absolutely necessary!"

After taking out the Pure Yang Concentrating Spirit Pill, Lu Cheng'an looked at Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping.

Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping both have good cultivation talent, and they have both condensed their Great Dao Domains at the Nascent Soul stage.

Based on this, even without taking the Pure Yang Concentration Pill, there is a great chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an had inquired about the effects of the Pure Yang Concentrating Spirit Pill. It does indeed increase the chances of a Nascent Soul cultivator breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm, but it will also damage part of the cultivator's foundation.

In the Xuan Chen Realm, there are not many Nascent Soul cultivators who can condense a Dao Domain at the Nascent Soul stage. These Nascent Soul cultivators who condense a Dao Domain generally do not use external aids when breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage.

Lu Cheng'an didn't buy the five Pure Yang Concentration Pills for Lu Jingkun and his group. The Lu family also had some cultivators who lacked talent. Once their cultivation reached the threshold of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, these pills would come in handy.

"Cheng'an, don't worry, Jingkun and I will consider it carefully and will not use the Pure Yang Condensing Spirit Pill to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm lightly!" Lu Chengping said in a deep voice.

Lu Yonghui and the others looked at the Pure Yang Concentrating Spirit Pill in Lu Cheng'an's hand with curiosity. The cultivation world outside must be much more prosperous than the Burial Immortal Land where they were.

Lu Cheng'an has only been gone a short time, yet he has already acquired so many good things.

They hoped that Lu Cheng'an could find a stable passage to leave the Burial Ground of Immortals as soon as possible, and they also wanted to go out and see the world of cultivation.

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly, then handed the five Pure Yang Spirit Condensation Pills to Lu Wenxing to handle. "These are materials for building a teleportation array. If Chengping and Jingkun have time, they can study them and see if they can build the teleportation array!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He obtained many materials containing spatial power from the spatial turbulence at the border of Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture. These materials were of considerable value.

However, Lu Chengan did not sell it, as this type of material is relatively rare.

Once Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun's cultivation levels break through to the Nascent Soul realm, these materials can be used to construct a fifth-order teleportation array.

Lu Cheng'an did not give all of these materials to Lu Chengping and Lu Chengping, but only gave them a portion to study.

"Brother Chengping, Jingkun, the most important thing for you two right now is to work hard to improve your cultivation and break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible. Only after your cultivation breaks through can you provide me with assistance!"

A serious expression appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face: "Although the cultivation world outside the Burial Immortal Land is more prosperous, it is also extremely dangerous. Now, nearly half of the Xuan Chen Realm is occupied by demonic cultivators... Even if we really find a passage to the outside world, I will only send some Nascent Soul late stage or perfect stage cultivators and Deity Transformation stage cultivators from my clan to the outside world!"

The Burial Ground of Immortals may also harbor great dangers, but before the dangers of the Vast Desert fully erupt, the Burial Ground of Immortals is still relatively safe compared to the outside world.

After giving instructions to the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an went to Shi Ningyu's cave.

"My husband, you're back!"

A look of joy appeared on Shi Ningyu's face. She quickly walked up to Lu Cheng'an and hugged him tightly.

Lu Cheng'an quickly embraced Shi Ningyu, and the two remained in this position for a long time before Lu Cheng'an asked gently, "I heard from the clan leader that you encountered some problems when you broke through to the Nascent Soul realm? What happened at that time? How is your physical condition now?"

"My breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm went relatively smoothly, but the final Pure Yang Heavenly Lightning was too fierce. I suffered some injuries while enduring the bombardment of this Pure Yang Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!"

Shi Ningyu sighed softly and continued, "These injuries could have healed quickly, but I didn't finish comprehending the power of the Great Dao in time, which caused me to suffer some damage again!"

"You're taking too much risks. Didn't I specifically tell you that you absolutely must not get so engrossed in comprehending the Great Dao?"

A look of surprise appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. Comprehending the Great Dao was an extremely dangerous thing.

If one cannot extricate oneself in time, the primordial spirit will dissipate directly.

He had specifically emphasized this to Shi Ningyu, Lu Chengping, and Lu Jingkun, who were about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, but he did not expect that Shi Ningyu would make such a mistake.

"I know I was wrong. I was trying my best to stay within my limits, but unfortunately I still couldn't get away in time!"

Shi Ningyu spoke in a low voice, this was her only chance, a chance to catch up with Lu Cheng'an.

She has already started to fall behind Lu Cheng'an, and if she can't catch up in time, the gap between them will only widen.

She felt that her adventure was worthwhile. After successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, the range of her Dao Domain reached 520 zhang.

Although there is still some gap between him and Lu Cheng'an, the gap is not particularly large.

Furthermore, she incorporated the Water Dao, Wood Dao, and Fire Dao into the Dao Domain, which further enhanced the power of the Dao Domain.

For years, Shi Ningyu had been in seclusion in her cave, focusing on healing her injuries and cultivating the supernatural powers of the Nascent Soul realm.

Shi Ningyu cultivates the Divine Jade True Scripture, a technique that can only be cultivated up to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

According to the records of the Divine Jade Sect, the Divine Jade True Scripture is incomplete; the complete Divine Jade True Scripture can be cultivated to the Refinement of Emptiness realm.

Lu Cheng'an had already searched all the explorable areas of the Burial Immortal Land, but he still couldn't find the cultivation method for the Divine Jade True Scripture after the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

There may be a complete Divine Jade Scripture outside the Burial Ground of Immortals, but cultivation techniques of this caliber are very difficult to find.

Lu Cheng'an hadn't been away for long, and he hadn't yet inquired about the Divine Jade Scripture.

Moreover, Shi Ningyu's cultivation had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and the cultivation techniques for the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul realm would be enough for her to cultivate for a long time.

The incomplete Divine Jade Scripture, in its Divine Transformation Chapter, only records one divine power called Jade Transformation and Sky-Slaying Immortal Light.

This is an extremely powerful and lethal divine ability. If a cultivator who practices the Divine Jade True Scripture cultivates this divine ability to the point of mastery, they can kill cultivators of the same level.

This is the description of the divine power by the Jade Transformation Sky-Slaying Immortal Light. As for whether this divine power actually has such power, even Shi Ningyu dared not be sure.

She has been cultivating the Jade Transformation and Sky-Slaying Immortal Light for several years, but she has only cultivated this divine power to the minor completion level. There is still a distance to go before the major completion level.

Lu Cheng'an was able to cultivate a divine ability to perfection so quickly not only because of his good comprehension, but also because of the panel.

"It's good that you're alright!" Lu Cheng'an sighed softly and didn't say anything more.

He knew that Shi Ningyu was also very scared, and if he continued to blame her, it would only make her more upset.

"Husband, where have you been all these years? Have you encountered any danger?" Shi Ningyu asked in a low voice.

“After I enter the Netherworld… I plan to occupy Golden Cauldron Mountain. Next, you and I will go to Golden Cauldron Mountain together. With the strength of the two of us, we should be able to withstand the attack of the demonic cultivators from Qian Yuan Prefecture!” Lu Cheng’an said.

Shi Ningyu's cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. Although it has not been long since her breakthrough, her strength is not weak.

He didn't plan to invest too much in Jinding Mountain, since he wasn't sure if he could hold onto it.

"I will listen to my husband and leave with him, but my strength is still very weak, and I'm afraid I can't help him much!"

Shi Ningyu sighed softly: "I have been cultivating the Jade Transformation and Sky-Slaying Immortal Light recorded in the Divine Jade True Scripture for several years, but even now I have only cultivated this divine power to the minor completion level, and I cannot unleash its true power."

The Jade Transformation and Sky-Slicing Immortal Light technique can only unleash its true power when cultivated to the highest level; otherwise, its power is quite ordinary. (End of Chapter)
