Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"Clan leader, my husband's cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

"Fellow Daoist Shi, Cheng'an's cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

Upon receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, Shi Ningyu and Lu Wenxing immediately emerged from their respective caves, eager to see each other and share the good news.

Because Lu Cheng'an said in the message that he only told Shi Ningyu and Lu Wenxing about his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

After a while, Shi Ningyu and Lu Wenxing's excitement gradually subsided, and they began to discuss who to tell about Lu Cheng'an's breakthrough in cultivation.

After some discussion, the two decided to tell the Golden Core cultivator of the Lu family, as well as Shi Ningyu's grandfather Shi Mingxin, the news, as Lu Chengan had suggested.

The remaining cultivators should wait until Lu Cheng'an returns to his family before making any decisions.

After making their decision, Lu Wenxing and Shi Ningyu immediately parted ways.

After returning home, Lu Wenxing summoned the Golden Core cultivators of the Lu family and told them the good news.

After returning, Shi Ningyu went to her grandfather Shi Mingxin's cave and told him that her grandfather Lu Chengan had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Although Lu Cheng'an has not returned to the Lu family since his breakthrough in cultivation, Shi Ningyu and the others know that Lu Cheng'an is consolidating his cultivation and practicing supernatural abilities in the underground lava river of the Burning Flame Mountains, so there is no need to worry about Lu Cheng'an's situation.

Shi Ningyu also began to calm down and cultivate, preparing for her next breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

The time remaining before the opening of the Divine Jade Sect ruins is not long, and Shi Ningyu is now fully prepared.

Lu Cheng'an's cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. As Lu Cheng'an's Daoist partner, Shi Ningyu has given her greater confidence in the upcoming competition for the inheritance of the Divine Jade Sect.

Time flies when you're cultivating, and nine years passed quickly.

For the past nine years, Lu Cheng'an has never left his cave dwelling at Wuling Lake, where he has been diligently cultivating.

After nine years of arduous cultivation, his cultivation level was completely consolidated, and the semi-real rune in his nascent soul was completely transformed into a real rune.

During this time, Lu Cheng'an did nothing; the transformation of the rune was a natural process.

This is because Lu Cheng'an's previous accumulation was quite substantial. If he wanted to transform the remaining illusory pattern in his nascent soul into a solid pattern, he would need to work hard to improve his nascent soul power, which would take a long time.

For the past nine years, Lu Cheng'an has devoted most of his time to cultivating the two supernatural abilities: the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm and the Earth Flames Myriad Killing Body.

Because he had already cultivated these two simplified minor divine abilities, cultivating the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm and the Earth Flame Myriad Forms Body at the divine ability level was relatively much easier.

Now, nine years later, he has cultivated both of these supernatural abilities to perfection.

Lu Cheng'an had only recently mastered the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm and the Earth Flames Myriad Manifestations Body to perfection when he received a message from Que Yun.

The Lu family still monitors the situation in the Yunling Mountains through demonic beasts such as Queyun. Previously, the evil cultivators in the Yunling Mountains were very well-behaved and basically never left the Yunling Mountains area.

Now, those heretical cultivators have come out in droves, including the Nascent Soul Realm True Monarch, Heavenly Locust.

Clearly, after so many years of recuperation, the injuries on Tianhuang Zhenjun's nascent soul have fully healed, and he is eager to seek revenge against the Lu family.

After receiving the message from Queyun and other demonic beasts, Lu Cheng'an instructed Queyun and the other third-tier demonic beasts to lead Lu Chengyao and the others back to the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an then wasted no time and quickly left Wuling Lake, speeding towards the direction of the Lu family.

Although Lu Cheng'an has not yet cultivated any supernatural-level escape techniques, his speed when using the minor supernatural technique, Star Flame Concealment Technique, with his Nascent Soul cultivation is many times faster than that of someone at the Golden Core stage.

The Lu family and the Burning Flame Mountain Range were not far apart. Lu Cheng'an left from the Five Spirits Lake and returned to the Lu family's mountain gate in no time.

Before returning to the Lu family's mountain gate, Lu Cheng'an had already sent a message to Lu Wenxing and other cultivators of the Lu family, informing them that the Heavenly Locust True Monarch of the Yunling Mountains might now take action against their Lu family, and that they should prepare in advance.

Therefore, when Lu Cheng'an returned to the Lu family's mountain gate, he saw Lu Wenxing and Shi Ningyu leading a group of cultivators from the Lu family's mountain gate waiting for Lu Cheng'an to return.

Among these cultivators, Shi Ningyu and Lu Wenxing were the leaders. They wore faint smiles on their faces and showed no concern whatsoever for the upcoming attack from the evil cultivators, including the Heavenly Locust True Monarch.

This is because they know that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.

This time, the Heavenly Locust True Monarch once again led the evil cultivators to attack the Lu family. Even though Lu Cheng'an is no match for the Heavenly Locust True Monarch, he will definitely be able to withstand the attacks of the Heavenly Locust True Monarch and the evil cultivators with his Nascent Soul cultivation.

The cultivators, including Geng Qiuhuai, were unaware that Lu Chengan's cultivation had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. They were extremely alarmed when they learned that the evil cultivators, such as Tianhuang Zhenjun, might launch another attack on the Lu family.

Therefore, upon seeing Lu Cheng'an, they immediately couldn't help but ask him if he could withstand the attacks of the evil cultivators, including the Heavenly Locust True Monarch, this time.

"Fellow Daoists, don't worry. Last time we were able to repel the Heavenly Locust True Monarch's attack, and we will definitely be able to do it again this time!"

Lu Cheng'an looked at Geng Qiuhuai and the others, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The reason why evil cultivators like Tianhuang Zhenjun are so powerful is because of Tianhuang Zhenjun, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, without the Heavenly Locust True Monarch, the power of the other evil cultivators would be relatively ordinary.

Lu Cheng'an will deal with Tianhuang Zhenjun, and those evil cultivators at the Golden Core realm under Tianhuang Zhenjun will need to be dealt with by Geng Qiuhuai and other Golden Core cultivators.

Although Geng Qiuhuai and the other Golden Core cultivators still felt somewhat worried, they gradually relaxed after seeing the confident smile on Lu Cheng'an's face.

They didn't know what Lu Cheng'an's trump card was, but since Lu Cheng'an dared to say that, they couldn't help but believe him.

After all, as Lu Cheng'an said before, they were able to withstand the attacks of evil cultivators like Tianhuang Zhenjun before, so they can definitely do it this time as well.

Shortly after Lu Cheng'an returned to the Lu family from the Burning Flame Mountains, Que Yun and other third-tier demonic beasts led Lu Chengyao and other beast tamers of the Lu family back from the Burning Flame Mountains.

No sooner had the demonic beasts, including Queyun, entered the Lu family's mountain gate than an extremely oppressive aura surged forth from afar, howling as it swept towards the Lu family's mountain gate.

Geng Qiuhuai and the others from the Lu Family Mountain Sect were very familiar with this aura; it was emanating from True Monarch Tianhuang.

As the oppressive aura released by True Lord Tianhuang surged forth, an extremely fierce aura followed suit.

This fierce aura was comparable to that released by True Monarch Heavenly Locust, and it was even more difficult for Geng Qiuhuai and the other cultivators to adapt to. Upon sensing this fierce aura, the expressions on Geng Qiuhuai and the others changed several times.

They did not sense the owner of this fierce aura, but the strength of this aura was comparable to that of the Heavenly Locust True Monarch, so the cultivator emitting this aura must also be at the Nascent Soul stage.

At this moment, Geng Qiuhuai and the others couldn't help but look at Lu Cheng'an. Previously, only the Nascent Soul cultivator, True Monarch Tianhuang, had made a move, but now there were two Nascent Soul cultivators. Could Lu Cheng'an still withstand them?

"This aura should be emitted by the early-stage fourth-order Black-striped Sky Locust Queen Bee, which is being raised by True Monarch Sky Locust. Fellow Daoists, there's no need to worry; I will handle them!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly, showing no sign of panic.

Because he already knew he would be facing a combined attack from the Heavenly Locust True Monarch and the fourth-stage early-stage Black-striped Heavenly Locust. Although they both had combat power at the early-stage Nascent Soul level, he did not feel afraid.

The Heavenly Locust True Monarch's strength is extremely mediocre. Even with the help of the Black-Striped Heavenly Locust at the early stage of the fourth rank, his strength has not improved much. Lu Cheng'an is confident that he can fight two against one.

"I'll handle the Heavenly Locust True Monarch and the early-stage fourth-order Black-striped Heavenly Locust. As for the remaining evil cultivators at the Golden Core realm, I'll leave them to you fellow Daoists!"

Lu Cheng'an's gaze swept over Geng Qiuhuai and the other Golden Core cultivators. The moment his voice fell, his body transformed into a streak of fiery red light and instantly rushed out of the Lu family's mountain gate.

"Fellow Daoist Wenxing, Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation level..."

A look of excitement appeared in Geng Qiuhuai's eyes. He had some guesses in his mind, but he found it hard to believe.

Lu Cheng'an's cultivation has only been at the Golden Core stage for a short time. Could it be that his cultivation has really broken through to the Nascent Soul stage now?
Lu Wenxing discerned Geng Qiuhuai's meaning, but he did not answer directly. Instead, he smiled slightly at Geng Qiuhuai.

At this moment, how could Geng Qiuhuai not understand Lu Wenxing's meaning? It was true that Lu Chengan's cultivation had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.

This news shocked Geng Qiuhuai, but he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He was well aware of Lu Cheng'an's strength; Lu Cheng'an had previously been able to withstand the attacks of True Monarch Heavenly Locust when he was at the Golden Core stage.

Now that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, even if True Monarch Tianhuang brings the early stage of the fourth rank Black-Striped Locust, Lu Cheng'an will definitely be able to stop him.

The gate of Lu Family Mountain is a hundred miles away.

Lu Cheng'an gathered fiery red energy beneath his feet, his gaze coldly fixed on the evil cultivators, including the Heavenly Locust True Monarch.

"Lu Cheng'an, you're quite lucky to have survived!"

When Tianhuang Zhenjun saw Lu Cheng'an suddenly appear in front of him, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Then he sneered, "So this time you know you can't resist, so you've come here to die willingly?"

Although Heavenly Locust True Monarch spoke of Lu Cheng'an with great contempt, he was actually extremely cautious.

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an appear, he immediately summoned the fourth-grade low-rank Heavenly Infant Bowl that he had finally obtained.

The Heavenly Infant Bowl is the magical artifact that Heavenly Locust True Lord obtained to defend against his nascent soul; it is an extremely evil artifact.

Because crafting this magical artifact requires the use of the celestial infant energy from a large number of newborn infants, and once the celestial infant energy is extracted, the infants will die immediately.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware that True Lord Tianhuang possessed a magical artifact like the Heavenly Infant Bowl, which protects the Nascent Soul. The instant True Lord Tianhuang's voice fell, he raised his hand with lightning speed and directly unleashed the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm technique to attack the enormous early-stage fourth-order black-striped Heavenly Locust beneath True Lord Tianhuang's feet.

At the same time, he also used the secret technique of Great Sun Golden Flame to attack the Nascent Soul of Heavenly Locust True Monarch.

Lu Cheng'an did not deduce the Great Sun Golden Flame Divine Soul Secret Technique to enhance its power.

However, now that he is using this secret technique with the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, the power of this secret technique has been greatly enhanced.

The Great Sun Golden Flame, a secret technique of extreme Yang, is extremely effective against the Heavenly Infant Bowl, an evil magical artifact.

In the sea of ​​consciousness of True Lord Tianhuang, after the Heavenly Infant Bowl was attacked by the Great Sun Golden Flame, a fine crack quickly appeared.

However, it blocked Lu Cheng'an's Great Sun Golden Flame attack and did not cause any damage to Tianhuang Zhenjun's nascent soul.

However, the situation of that early-stage fourth-tier black-striped locust was much worse.

The individual strength of the Black-striped Sky Locust is not particularly strong. What makes this insect terrifying is its astonishing reproductive ability and its terrifying rate of improvement.

Heavenly Locust True Monarch and his subordinate, the early-stage fourth-tier Black-Striped Heavenly Locust, never expected that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation would break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Therefore, when Lu Cheng'an unleashed the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm technique to attack the early-stage fourth-tier Black-Striped Heavenly Locust, the locust was caught completely off guard.

With a deafening roar, a massive palm print wreathed in flames slammed into the body of the early-stage fourth-tier Black-Patterned Sky Locust.

At this moment, the terrifying power contained within the palm print poured out, directly slamming the early-stage fourth-tier Black-striped Sky Locust down to the ground below, creating a crater tens of feet deep.

At the crucial moment, this black-striped locust released a defensive barrier—its awakened innate demonic art, Black-Striped Iron Armor.

This sorcery is not weak; if activated at full power, it is comparable to the power of a low-grade fourth-tier defensive magic weapon.

However, the power of the Perfected Realm Divine Power, Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm, was too terrifying. Even though the early-stage fourth-tier Black-Patterned Sky Locust released the Black-Patterned Iron Armor demonic technique, it still failed to block the attack of Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm.

The terrifying power contained within the palm print shattered the black carapace covering the Black-striped Sky Locust's body, and strands of dark red blood gushed out from these wounds.

In an instant, the body of the early-stage fourth-order black-striped locust burst into flames from the inside out.

This is the follow-up power of the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm, and also the manifestation of Lu Cheng'an's Fire Virtue Spirit Body controlling flames.

Mastering flames increased Lu Cheng'an's fire-attribute divine power by several times, and also provided strong sustained damage.

The raging flames burning around the early-stage fourth-order Black-striped Sky Locust were not ordinary flames. These flames contained a rich concentration of fire evil and fire poison, which Lu Cheng'an had refined over many years.

Unless there is a specific countermeasure, it is very difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage to withstand this kind of fire evil and fire poison attack.

"Impossible! How could you possibly break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

Heavenly Locust True Monarch exclaimed in shock and anger; he never expected Lu Cheng'an to break through to the Nascent Soul realm at this time. (End of Chapter)
