My Optimized Immortal Life

Earth Fire Abyss.

This place is somewhat similar to the Sky Dome Valley where Chen Qing cultivated all the way to the perfection of his foundation building in Song State. Both are places with rich earth fire. However, the difference between the two is that the Earth Fire Abyss is not like the Sky Dome Valley, where the earth fire veins are formed by three-colored spiritual flames. The earth fire veins here are surging up from tens of thousands of miles underground, and have been endless since the records of Linxian Pavilion.

The underground fire gushed out from the ground and emerged on the surface. The scorching heat made it difficult for most trees to grow, and the land became dry and cracked.

This place is the lowest in terrain and is surrounded by surrounding areas, making it difficult to be disturbed by the outside world. In addition, the rising ground fire has made this place look like this for a long time.

Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin were walking in the Earth Fire Abyss. They had entered the Central Region several days ago, and then Chen Qing took Xu Lingxin to Luoying Sect.

Han Qiu Shui naturally had no objection to the joining of Xu Lingxin, a late Jindan cultivator. She could see the relationship between Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin at a glance, so she felt relieved.

Chen Qingdu has already brought his Taoist partner to Luoying Sect, so there is no need to worry about it anymore.

After Xu Lingxin joined the Luoying Sect, Chen Qing brought her to the Dihuoyuan to see what the environment there was like.

Although the area around the Earth Fire Abyss appears extremely desolate due to the high temperature, this place has been managed by the Chiyu Sect for decades, and the layout of the center is still quite good.

Because the Earth Fire Abyss here was taken away by Chen Qing from True Lord Chiyu, most of the arrangements here were not moved away. Only the disciples of the Chiyu Sect and some key things were removed.

A river of underground fire slowly flows out from the central area, passes through the river channel built by the monks of the Red Feather Sect, and then flows back into the underground. Dozens of small buildings have been built along the banks of this section of the river of underground fire, and under each small building there is a specially drawn underground fire.

These small buildings are all weapon refining rooms specially built by the Chiyu Sect. With the help of the earth's fire veins, the sect's weapon refining elders and disciples can refine magical weapons and spiritual weapons here, which can not only enhance the sect's foundation, but also be used for trading.

For the Chiyu Sect, Chen Qing's seizure of the Earth Fire Abyss was like cutting off their source of income.

That True Lord Chiyu will come looking for him sooner or later, but Chen Qing is not worried. In terms of strength alone, the three True Lords Chiyu combined can barely fight with him. Once he refines the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan with the Purple Extreme Divine Fire Iron and helps the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan to become a fourth-level spiritual treasure, even if he is a Nascent Soul cultivator, Chen Qing feels that he will not be easily defeated.

After looking around, Xu Lingxin frowned, with a hint of regret on her face.

"There is a vein of earth fire here. The fire spiritual energy is too active, and other spiritual energies are suppressed. It is not suitable for my cultivation."

Hearing this, Chen Qing smiled.

"I don't practice here all the time, and there are so many underground fires here. Sect Master Han will definitely arrange for the weapon-refining elders or disciples to come here to refine weapons. If I want to use this place as a cave, it will definitely be impossible. Besides..."

He embraced Xu Lingxin, held her in his arms, and then spoke.

"I can't bear to leave Lingxin alone on Qixia Peak."

Xu Lingxin smiled and let Chen Qing hold her.

The two of them rose into the air, and only after they were high enough to overlook the entire River of Earth and Fire did Chen Qing nod.

This place was originally covered by a formation, but unfortunately the Chiyu Sect dismantled the formation before withdrawing, otherwise Chen Qing would have taken the formation for nothing.

He waved his left hand, and hundreds of formation flags fell from the sky, surrounding the entire River of Earth and Fire along with dozens of small buildings. Then, an extremely condensed Nascent Soul magic power spread out, connecting all the hundreds of formation flags. His spiritual consciousness surged, outlining formation patterns in the void, connecting the formation flags to each other, forming a formation light curtain.

After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, Chen Qing found it several times easier to arrange the third-order formation than when he was in the Core Formation stage. Now, he could arrange the formation that covered the Earth Fire Abyss with ease.

The light curtain of the formation rose up, completely covering the river of earth fire, and then slowly disappeared, absorbing all the rich fire spiritual energy between heaven and earth, sealing it off, making this place no longer magical.

Seeing this, Chen Qing nodded.

"After setting up this formation, we can resist any attack unless it comes from a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage. It can also be used to protect us from some demonic cultivators or independent cultivators."

When the formation was completed, Chen Qing's mission was over, and he and Xu Lingxin returned to Luoying Sect.

Chen Qing had no interest in the position of the leader of Luoying Sect. Xu Lingxin was even more indifferent to the position of leader due to her childhood experiences. Therefore, Han Qiu Shui still served as the leader, and the main hall of Luoying Sect still belonged to him.

Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin naturally stayed on Qixia Peak, but he asked Han Qiu Shui to send people to rebuild a courtyard, and he and Xu Lingxin sat in it.

Di Jian, Chen Qing's direct disciple, completely took over the courtyard where Chen Qing used to live.

After the two returned to Qixia Peak, they saw Han Qiu Shui coming to the door. Chen Qing welcomed her in, and then listened to her talk about an important event concerning Chen Qing.

"Chen Gongfeng, you are now a Nascent Soul True Sovereign and have led the Luoying Sect to the fourth-tier sect. This has attracted the attention of several surrounding sects and families. I wonder if you could report a Nascent Soul Ceremony to consolidate the Luoying Sect's status and promote cooperation with the surrounding sects."

After listening to what Han Qiu Shui said, Chen Qing thought for a while and spoke.

"In that case, let's report a Nascent Soul Ceremony. It will also facilitate the development of the Luoying Sect and provide me with support."

Seeing Chen Qing's happy agreement, Han Qiu Shui looked happy, stopped bothering him, and left quickly.

After Han Qiu Shui left, Xu Lingxin looked at Chen Qing and asked in confusion.

"My husband never revealed his strength before, whether he was at the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stage. He kept it hidden. Even if he occasionally showed his strength, it was only when no one was around. If he showed it now, I'm afraid it would bring disaster."

Chen Qing's face was calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Hearing this, he looked at Xu Lingxin, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Ling Xin, I'm already a Nascent Soul now. Even in the Central Region, I'm a rare high-level cultivator. Showing my strength will help me gain a foothold in the Central Region. After all, this isn't the Song Kingdom. There's no demonic invasion here, so hiding my true cultivation level doesn't make much sense."

Hearing this, Xu Lingxin nodded.

"Since my husband wants to show off his strength and intimidate the villains, using the Nascent Soul Ceremony is indeed a good method to quickly gain a foothold. However, by then, there should be cultivators from the Linxian Pavilion arriving."

After saying this, Chen Qing also nodded.

He was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage in the Central Region, which meant that there was one more Nascent Soul cultivator in the Central Region. Even the Linxian Pavilion would try to win over cultivators of this level, so there would definitely be cultivators from Linxian City present at the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

This is also an opportunity.

If Chen Qing wants to be promoted to the God Transformation Realm, relying solely on the Luoying Sect is definitely not enough. If he can borrow the power of the Linxian Pavilion, it will definitely be much better than fighting alone.

With this in mind, Chen Qing began to look forward to the upcoming Nascent Soul Ceremony.

The news that Luoying Sect held the Nascent Soul Ceremony and was promoted to the fourth-level sect also spread in the surrounding areas, attracting the attention of many sects and forces.
