Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Inside the ruins of the Divine Jade Sect.

After killing Sha Zehan, Shi Ningyu was taken to the true inheritance ground of the Divine Jade Sect. There, she saw the treasures for condensing the Nascent Soul and the cave where she could cultivate in seclusion to break through.

As for the other treasures in the inheritance site, she did not examine them. Instead, after collecting the treasures that had condensed her Nascent Soul, she went directly into the cave to prepare to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Shi Ningyu had long been prepared to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. After entering the cave, she simply adjusted her breathing for a while, and then activated the power of the Nascent Soul treasure to try to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Although Shi Ningyu's accumulated knowledge was not as profound as Lu Cheng'an's, the difference was not significant.

Moreover, the treasure she used to condense her Nascent Soul was better than the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom, so her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm was extremely smooth.

It took Shi Ningyu nearly a month to achieve this breakthrough.

After successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, she did not immediately leave her secluded cave, but instead began to consolidate her newly achieved cultivation.

This was something she and Lu Cheng'an had agreed upon beforehand.

Once her cultivation breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, she doesn't need to rush to leave the Divine Jade Sect ruins. She wants to stay within the ruins and improve her strength as much as possible.

However, Shi Ningyu had only been in seclusion in her cave for less than two days when she felt that the entire Divine Jade Sect ruins were teetering on the brink of collapse, as if they were about to crumble at any moment.

At this moment, Shi Ningyu dared not continue her seclusion to regulate her breathing. She immediately rushed out of her secluded cave and began to plunder the treasures in the Divine Jade Sect's inheritance grounds.

The strength of the Divine Jade Sect is quite different from that of the Burning Flame Sect, and the treasures in the inheritance ground are also not as many as those of the Burning Flame Sect.

Shi Ningyu didn't have time to check what treasures were in the Divine Jade Sect's inheritance site. After quickly looting it, she rushed out of the Divine Jade Sect ruins.

Outside the Shenyu Sect ruins, True Monarch Hanli and True Monarch Jingge had been keeping a close eye on the situation inside. The moment Shi Ningyu rushed out of the Shenyu Sect ruins, they noticed her.

The moment Hanli Zhenjun and Jingge Zhenjun spotted Shi Ningyu, they didn't waste any words and immediately attacked her.

Lu Cheng'an had been keeping a close eye on the situation inside the Divine Jade Sect ruins. After sensing that Shi Ningyu had come out of the ruins, he immediately sent a message to True Monarch Dahuang and then took action to block the attacks from True Monarch Hanli and True Monarch Jingge.

The attacks from Hanli Zhenjun and Jingge Zhenjun were both rapid and fierce. Shi Ningyu had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and had not even become familiar with the power of the Nascent Soul realm yet.

Faced with the attacks of Hanli Zhenjun and Jinge Zhenjun, he hastily summoned a dark yellow shield.

This is a low-grade fourth-tier defensive magic weapon called the Six Harmony Shield.

This defensive artifact is of very high quality and its defensive power is extremely strong.

However, Shi Ningyu had not yet had time to refine this fourth-grade low-level defensive magic weapon. She could only activate it simply and could not unleash its full power.

But that's enough!
After Shi Ningyu summoned the Six Harmonies Shield, it quickly blocked the attack of Jin Ge Zhenjun.

The attack launched by Hanli Zhenjun, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, was blocked by Lu Cheng'an using the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm technique.

"Lu Cheng'an!"

Hanli Zhenjun's gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an, and he called out Lu Cheng'an's name directly.

Previously, Lu Cheng'an had killed the Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Tianhuang Zhenjun, which attracted the attention of the Nascent Soul sects in Qingzhou and Hezhou.

They had all sent people to inquire about Lu Cheng'an, which is why Hanli Zhenjun called out Lu Cheng'an's name directly at this time.

"I don't care what your relationship with her is, if you know what's good for you, leave immediately and I might spare your life!" Han Li Zhenjun said coldly, his brows furrowed.

She knew that Lu Cheng'an was quite powerful, but she didn't take him seriously.

After all, her cultivation level was at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, which was a level higher than Lu Cheng'an's. No matter how strong Lu Cheng'an was, he could not possibly be her match.

She was willing to let Lu Cheng'an leave because of the Sacred Heart Sect.

"Ningyu, are you alright?" Lu Cheng'an glanced at Hanli Zhenjun indifferently, not taking the threat of this mid-Nascent Soul cultivator seriously.

He flew to Shi Ningyu's side and asked about her condition.

"You are seeking death!"

Lu Cheng'an's disregard completely enraged Han Li Zhenjun, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. A strong killing intent appeared in her eyes, and she then summoned an ice tower.

This ice tower is called the Frost Nether Ice Tower. It is of the middle grade of the fourth rank and is the natal magic weapon of True Monarch Hanli.

After Hanli Zhenjun summoned the Hanming Ice Tower, the surrounding temperature dropped instantly, and water vapor condensed into ice flowers that fell from the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Han Li, please don't be angry. Why don't you let this go for my sake?"

Just as True Monarch Hanli was about to make his move, a laugh came from afar. As the laugh subsided, a middle-aged man dressed in a gray-blue robe appeared in everyone's sight.

"Xu Tao, does your Ancient Desolate Sect intend to interfere in this matter?" True Monarch Hanli looked at Xu Tao with icy eyes, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

Xu Tao is the real name of the Great Wilderness True Lord. His cultivation level is also at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and his strength is even slightly stronger than that of the Cold Li True Lord.

Moreover, the Great Wilderness True Monarch comes from the Ancient Wilderness Sect, and is far superior to Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu.

The Great Wilderness True Lord nodded slightly and stood beside Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, clearly expressing his meaning.

He had come at Lu Cheng'an's invitation, so naturally he had to stand on Lu Cheng'an's side.

"Xu Tao, our Ziyang Sect will remember this matter. We hope you will not regret the decision you made today!"

After threatening True Monarch Dahuang, True Monarch Hanli said no more and left the Divine Jade Sect ruins with True Monarch Jin Ge.

The Great Wilderness True Monarch watched Han Li and the other person leave, then calmly withdrew his gaze.

He didn't take Han Li's threat to heart; the Ziyang Sect was only slightly stronger than their Huanggu Sect.

If their sect leader successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul Perfection realm, their strength will surpass that of the Ziyang Sect.

At that time, the Ziyang Sect will probably have to worry that they will cause trouble for the Ziyang Sect.

"We must thank Fellow Daoist Xu this time, otherwise my wife and I would not know how we would have escaped!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're too kind. Actually, I didn't do anything!" True Monarch of the Great Wilderness smiled slightly and said, "I would also like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Lu on your wife's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm. She has hope of achieving immortality in the future!"

"Now that the sect leader has reached the crucial moment of breaking through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm, I cannot leave the sect for too long. We shall take our leave now, and we shall meet again after the sect leader's cultivation has broken through!"

The Great Wilderness True Monarch cupped his hands slightly. He was not lying; he was indeed anxious to return to his sect.

Currently, the defenses of their Ancient Desolate Sect are relatively weak, with only two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, True Monarch Kushi and True Monarch Suigu, remaining at the sect's mountain gate.

If they were to be attacked by the Sacred Heart Sect during this period, it would be highly likely to affect their sect leader's cultivation breakthrough.

However, they had been concealing the news of their sect leader's breakthrough in cultivation. It was only when they traded a fourth-tier water-attribute cultivation technique with Lu Cheng'an that they revealed this information to him.

If the news of their sect leader's breakthrough in cultivation had not been leaked, their Ancient Desolate Sect should not have been attacked by the Sacred Heart Sect.

"Then congratulations in advance to your sect leader on your successful breakthrough in cultivation!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

A moment later, the Great Wilderness True Monarch swiftly left the ruins of the Divine Jade Sect and returned directly to his sect.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu also did not linger at the Shenyu Sect ruins. After the Great Wilderness True Monarch left, they both rushed back to the Lu family.

When Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu left, the ruins of the Divine Jade Sect were completely destroyed.

This is because Shi Ningyu broke through to the Nascent Soul realm within the Divine Jade Sect ruins, consuming too much of the ruins' power. As a result, the remaining power of the Divine Jade Sect ruins could no longer support this massive ruin.

After returning to the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu entered the cave together.

"Ningyu, what happened to you in the ruins of the Divine Jade Sect? Was the process smooth?" Lu Cheng'an asked quickly.

"After entering the ruins of the Divine Jade Sect, I first encountered the traps set by the Divine Jade Sect... I was not injured throughout the entire process, so don't worry, Brother An!"

A smile appeared on Shi Ningyu's face. After briefly telling Lu Cheng'an what she had done in the Shenyu Sect ruins, she took out all the inherited items she had obtained in the Shenyu Sect ruins from the storage bracelet she carried with her.

“Brother An, I packed all these things in a hurry and haven’t had time to organize them yet. Can you help me organize them now?” Shi Ningyu said.

The inherited artifacts left by the Divine Jade Sect are similar to those of the Burning Flame Sect, but the Divine Jade Sect's inherited artifacts are more complete.

After carefully sorting through the items, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu discovered that there were a total of nine fourth-order cultivation techniques in the Divine Jade Sect's inheritance.

Of these nine fourth-tier cultivation techniques, two can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, two can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and the remaining five can only be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Early to Mid Stage.

Moreover, three of the five cultivation techniques that can be cultivated to the early to mid-stages of the Nascent Soul realm overlap with the cultivation techniques inherited by the Burning Flame Sect.

There is only one fifth-order cultivation technique that can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm, and that is the Divine Jade True Scripture that Shi Ningyu cultivates.

Besides cultivation techniques, there are also a large number of supernatural abilities and various arts of immortal cultivation passed down. Some of these overlap with the inheritance of the Burning Flame Sect, but there are also quite a few that do not overlap, which greatly enhances the foundation of the Lu family.

In addition to these ancient texts, there are also numerous treasures such as elixirs, spirit stones, talismans, and magical artifacts. The quantity of these items far exceeds that of the Burning Flame Sect, but their quality is not as high.

Lu Cheng'an found the complete Star Flame Concealment Technique and the materials for upgrading the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan from the fourth-tier materials inherited by the Divine Jade Sect.

The various treasures in the Divine Jade Sect's heritage are basically all useful to Shi Ningyu. The Divine Jade True Scripture's Nascent Soul Chapter records three supernatural powers: Jade Soul Immortal Light, Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm, and Divine Jade True Body.

Cultivating these three supernatural abilities also requires the assistance of precious materials, and these materials are all within the inheritance of the Divine Jade Sect.

The materials needed to upgrade Shi Ningyu's natal magic treasure, the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, can also be gathered from the inheritance of the Divine Jade Sect.

Moreover, it can directly upgrade the grade of this magic weapon to the fourth-tier superior grade.

After organizing the inheritance of the Divine Jade Sect, Shi Ningyu returned to her cave and went into seclusion to cultivate again.

She had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and hadn't even had time to fully consolidate her cultivation. Next, she needed to consolidate her cultivation before starting to cultivate her supernatural abilities and quickly improve her combat capabilities.

After Shi Ningyu went into seclusion, Lu Cheng'an also left the Lu family again and headed towards the Desolate Ancient Sect.

This time, he mainly expressed his gratitude to the Ancient Desolate Sect, and at the same time told the Ancient Desolate Sect about the secrets of the Ancient Desolate Scripture and the supernatural power of the Ancient Stillness Seal.

When Lu Cheng'an came to the Ancient Desolate Sect this time, he met all the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect except for True Monarch Qiongmiao.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with the three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ancient Desolate Sect, he told them about the Ancient Desolate Scripture and the Ancient Tranquil Seal, a divine power.

"The Ancient Scripture is one of the inherited techniques of our Ancient Desolate Sect. How could it possibly be a supernatural power!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, is there a problem with your comprehension of the Ancient Scripture? How come you're treating the cultivation technique as a supernatural power!"

…………

Ku Shi Zhenjun and Sui Gu Zhenjun exclaimed in surprise. They were currently cultivating the Sui Gu True Scripture and were unwilling to believe that the cultivation method they were practicing was actually a divine power.

The Great Wilderness True Lord looked at Lu Cheng'an with equal astonishment. He had not expected Lu Cheng'an to say something so outrageous.

However, he did not speak. The Sui Gu True Scripture was the inherited cultivation method of Sui Gu Peak, and he was not particularly familiar with this cultivation method.

Lu Cheng'an did not argue with Ku Shi Zhenjun and the other person, but said with a smile, "This is the Jing Gu Seal, a divine power that I comprehended from the Sui Gu True Scripture. Fellow Daoists, you can take a look and see if there is any problem with this divine power that I have comprehended!"

Ku Shi Zhenjun and Sui Gu Zhenjun accepted the jade slip from Lu Cheng'an with some skepticism. After examining the contents of the Jing Gu Seal recorded in the jade slip, their expressions changed several times.

They had been cultivating the Sui Gu True Scripture for much longer than Lu Cheng'an, and their understanding of the Sui Gu True Scripture also surpassed Lu Cheng'an's.

The reason they hadn't noticed anything unusual about the Sui Gu True Scripture before was because they had never suspected that there was anything wrong with the cultivation method they were practicing.

However, Lu Cheng'an has now clearly pointed out the direction to them and told them the cultivation method of the Jinggu Seal.

When they reflected on the Ancient True Scripture they had been practicing, they discovered that there might indeed be a problem with the cultivation method they were practicing.

The expression on True Monarch Suigu's face changed several times before finally settling on Lu Cheng'an. He said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I express my sincere gratitude to you. If it weren't for you, we might still be continuing our erroneous cultivation!"

The moment Sui Gu Zhenjun finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Lu Cheng'an.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, this is absolutely unacceptable! I only discovered it by sheer luck!" Lu Cheng'an quickly helped Sui Gu Zhenjun up and said hastily. (End of Chapter)
