Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

“Fellow Daoist Lu, you have killed the Nascent Soul cultivator Tianhuang Zhenjun, who was supported by the Sacred Heart Sect, and you also have many grudges with the Azure Lion Demon King of the Hong'e Mountains. If the Sacred Heart Sect and the demon beasts of the Hong'e Mountains really launch an attack, your Lu family’s situation may not be good!” Kushi Zhenjun said with a serious expression.

Now the Lu family has two Nascent Soul cultivators, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, and is no longer an unknown Golden Core force.

With the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains launching attacks on the cultivation forces in Qingzhou and Hezhou, the Lu family will definitely be included in the Sacred Heart Sect and the Hong'e Mountains' plan to eliminate them.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lu's plans are next? Would you like to bring your clan's cultivators to my Ancient Desolate Sect to seek refuge?" True Monarch Kushi asked.

This was not the idea of ​​Master Kushi alone, but a decision made by the four Nascent Soul cultivators of the Desolate Ancient Sect after discussion.

The Lu family is still extremely powerful. If we can recruit Lu family cultivators into the Desolate Ancient Sect, then they will have a better chance of dealing with the attacks from the Sacred Heart Sect and the Hong'e Mountains.

The Ancient Desolate Sect is far more powerful than the Lu family, but they still lack the confidence to withstand the attacks from the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Fellow Daoist Chen, but my Lu family has been operating in the Burning Flame Mountains for hundreds of years, and we really cannot easily abandon our foundation there. I want to hold on to it a little longer!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly and said, "If our Lu family really can't withstand the attacks from the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains, we hope your sect can provide us with protection!"

Lu Cheng'an was quite surprised. He did not expect that the Ancient Desolate Sect would want their Lu family to give up their sect's foundation and directly join the Ancient Desolate Sect.

This was not a bad idea, but after thinking it over quickly, he felt that leading his people into the Ancient Desolate Sect also posed significant risks.

The cultivation of True Monarch Qiongmiao of the Ancient Desolate Sect has broken through to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm. The number of Nascent Soul Perfection Realm cultivators in Qingzhou and Hezhou is extremely small.

Although the information about Qiongmiao Zhenjun's true cultivation level has not yet been leaked, once he fights with the demonic beasts of the Sacred Heart Sect and the Hong'e Mountains, Qiongmiao Zhenjun's true cultivation level will definitely not be hidden.

At that time, the Ancient Desolate Sect will inevitably face a major attack from the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains, and the situation of the Ancient Desolate Sect may be even more dangerous.

Moreover, as he said, the Lu family has been in the Burning Flame Mountains for hundreds of years. If he leads his clansmen into the Desolate Ancient Sect, it would mean abandoning the Lu family's foundation built over hundreds of years.

Of course, Lu Cheng'an's decision to reject the Ancient Desolate Sect's offer at this time was mainly due to his confidence in his own strength.

Although his current cultivation level is still at the early stage of Nascent Soul, he has already cultivated the Returning Origin Fire Fiend Seal and other divine abilities to the perfect level. Relying on these perfect divine abilities, his strength is far beyond that of a Nascent Soul cultivator at the early stage.

He currently lacks experience fighting against mid-stage or late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but he believes that mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators might not be his match, while he is confident he can escape from the clutches of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Although the strength of the demonic beasts of the Sacred Heart Sect and the Hong'e Mountains is formidable, the number of cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage and the perfect Nascent Soul stage is also limited.

Their main targets will definitely be Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect, and they may not be able to spare much manpower to deal with the Lu family.

"Fellow Daoist Lu can rest assured on this point. The gates of my Ancient Desolate Sect are always open to Fellow Daoist Lu!" True Monarch Kushi said with a smile.

He wasn't angry; this outcome was actually within their expectations.

He had a certain understanding of Lu Cheng'an's character, and so far, neither the Sacred Heart Sect nor the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains had launched an attack on the Lu family.

If Lu Cheng'an were to so easily agree to abandon the Lu family's centuries-old foundation and join their Desolate Ancient Sect, that would be truly strange to him.

After skipping over this matter, Lu Cheng'an inquired about the situation of Sui Gu Zhenjun.

He had previously heard that True Monarch Suigu had broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage because of his inspiration.

A considerable amount of time has passed since then, and perhaps the cultivation of True Monarch Suigu has already broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

The cultivation method practiced by the Ancient Lord of the Years was also the Ancient True Scripture, a cultivation method involving the power of time. Lu Cheng'an also handed over the cultivation method of the Ancient Seal of Stillness to the Ancient Desolate Sect.

If True Monarch Suigu's cultivation successfully breaks through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage and he successfully cultivates the Jinggu Seal, then True Monarch Suigu's cultivation will be greatly enhanced.

If he cooperates with Qiongmiao Zhenjun, who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, he may be able to severely injure a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm and kill a cultivator at the late Nascent Soul realm.

After all, the power of the Ancient Stillness Seal is to freeze time. Even if the Ancient Stillness True Monarch only freezes a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage or the perfect Nascent Soul stage for a moment when he uses the Ancient Stillness Seal, then the Qiongmiao True Monarch will have the opportunity to kill or severely injure the cultivator affected by the Ancient Stillness Seal.

"I must thank Fellow Daoist Lu for this matter. My master's cultivation has now successfully broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. My master has also begun cultivating the Tranquil Ancient Seal that you mentioned, and has now reached the minor completion stage!"

When Kushi Zhenjun mentioned this matter, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"My master was just mentioning Fellow Daoist Lu a while ago, wanting to study the Jinggu Seal supernatural power with Fellow Daoist Lu!"

Ku Shi Zhenjun is also cultivating the Jing Gu Seal, a divine power. Even though he has studied the Sui Gu Zhen Jing for many years and has a very profound foundation, cultivating the Jing Gu Seal is still very difficult. He has only cultivated this divine power to the entry level.

The Jinggu Seal is a divine power that Lu Cheng'an comprehended from the Suigu True Scripture, so his understanding of this divine power is definitely deeper than theirs.

If they were to study the Quiet Ancient Seal divine power together with Lu Cheng'an, they might be able to cultivate it to a higher level.

Lu Cheng'an's purpose in coming to the Desolate Ancient Sect was not only to refine the Withered Wood Staff at the invitation of True Monarch Kushi, but also largely to work with True Monarch Suigu to comprehend the divine power of the Quiet Ancient Seal.

He has already cultivated the Jinggu Seal to the great perfection level, and after communicating with the Suigu True Monarch, he may be able to cultivate this divine power to the perfect level.

With this divine power involving the power of time, he would be more confident in killing a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Therefore, when he heard that True Lord Kushi suggested that he and True Lord Suigu should study the divine power of the Ancient Seal of Stillness together, he immediately agreed.

"My master is currently cultivating the Tranquil Ancient Seal in his cave. I'll take you to him now!"

After Lu Cheng'an agreed, Ku Shi Zhenjun immediately took Lu Cheng'an to Sui Gu Zhenjun's cave.

Lu Cheng'an could see the importance of the Jinggu Seal, and the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Desolate Ancient Sect also knew its importance.

Therefore, after Sui Gu Zhenjun's cultivation broke through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, he devoted all his time and energy to cultivating the Jing Gu Seal, a divine power.

Unfortunately, this divine power involving the power of time is extremely obscure and difficult to understand. Even though True Monarch Suigu has a very profound foundation, he has only cultivated this divine power to the minor completion level so far. A moment later, Lu Cheng'an, led by True Monarch Kushi, entered True Monarch Suigu's cave.

Sui Gu Zhenjun's cultivation has now broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. However, he was quite polite to Lu Cheng'an and expressed his sincere gratitude to him after meeting him.

After all, a large part of the reason he was able to raise his cultivation to the mid-Nascent Soul stage at this time was due to Lu Cheng'an.

With the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains about to attack, time is of the essence.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun quickly got down to business and began exchanging their experiences in cultivating the Jing Gu Seal.

Although True Monarch Suigu has only cultivated the Jinggu Seal to a minor level, his understanding of the power of time far surpasses that of Lu Cheng'an.

After communicating with True Monarch Suigu, Lu Cheng'an's understanding of the Jinggu Seal did not deepen much, but his understanding of the power of time deepened considerably.

Understanding the power of time is the foundation for cultivating supernatural arts and techniques involving the power of time, such as the Tranquil Ancient Seal. Now that Lu Cheng'an's understanding of the power of time has deepened, if he digests the gains from his exchange with True Monarch Suigu, his understanding of the Tranquil Ancient Seal will also deepen further, and he may even be able to cultivate it to the perfect state.

After communicating with Lu Cheng'an, Sui Gu Zhenjun gained the opposite insights from Lu Cheng'an.

His understanding of the power of time did not deepen much, but he gained a deeper understanding of the Ancient Seal of Stillness, mainly because Lu Cheng'an had cultivated the Ancient Seal of Stillness to the point of mastery.

Lu Cheng'an's understanding of the Jinggu Seal supernatural power was much deeper than that of Suigu Zhenjun.

Besides exchanging insights on the cultivation of the Jinggu Seal, Lu Cheng'an also inquired about the cultivation experiences of Suigu Zhenjun and Kushi Zhenjun at the Nascent Soul stage.

The Ancient Desolate Sect is, after all, a Nascent Soul sect with a long history. Currently, there are still powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection realm in the sect. Their understanding of the Nascent Soul realm is definitely stronger than Lu Cheng'an's.

True Monarch Suigu and True Monarch Kushi did not hold back, and explained their understanding of the Nascent Soul realm to Lu Cheng'an in detail.

Lu Cheng'an possesses the inheritances of two Nascent Soul sects, the Burning Flame Sect and the Divine Jade Sect. These inherited texts contain the insights of Nascent Soul cultivators from these two sects regarding the Nascent Soul realm.

However, the contents of the classic texts are not as good as the oral accounts of real Nascent Soul cultivators.

After communicating with True Monarch Suigu, Lu Cheng'an gained a deeper understanding of the Nascent Soul realm.

After that, Lu Cheng'an did not stay at the Desolate Ancient Sect for long and returned directly to the Lu family.

After returning to the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an did not immediately enter the cave to cultivate in seclusion. Instead, he told Shi Ningyu in detail about his gains in the Desolate Ancient Sect and had an in-depth exchange with her.

Shi Ningyu advanced to the Nascent Soul realm later than Lu Cheng'an, but her cultivation talent was higher than that of Sui Gu Zhenjun and Ku Shi Zhenjun.

She was also Lu Cheng'an's cultivation partner. After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu had a deep exchange, the two sparked even more inspiration.

Afterwards, Shi Ningyu returned to her cave to focus on cultivation, while Lu Cheng'an summoned Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun to his cave.

Both Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun are currently at the Golden Core Perfection stage, and they are both top-tier third-order spirit array masters.

Both of them have great talent in spirit arrays, but they have not become fourth-level spirit array masters due to limitations in their cultivation.

However, now that the two of them are working together, they have upgraded the Lu family's protective mountain formation to the fourth-grade low level.

The Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array was originally a fifth-order array. After the Lu family upgraded the array to a fourth-order low-grade array, they were able to unleash part of its true power.

Although the Lu family's Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array is only of the fourth-grade low level, once fully activated, it is difficult for ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivators to break through its defenses.

If these two break through to the Nascent Soul realm, given their talent in spirit arrays, they will probably become fourth-tier spirit array masters in no time. At that time, the power of the Lu family's protective mountain array will definitely increase.

Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun are both extremely powerful, especially Lu Jingkun who has cultivated the Earthly Jade Book technique.

If his cultivation successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, the chances of the Lu family surviving the attacks from the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains will greatly increase.

After deliberately revealing his identity as a fourth-tier low-grade weapon refiner, Lu Cheng'an inquired about information about assisting in the condensation of Nascent Soul spiritual objects from the Nascent Soul sect of the Desolate Ancient Sect.

However, the results were not satisfactory. Currently, the Ancient Desolate Sect and other Nascent Soul sects do not have any extra spiritual items for condensing Nascent Souls, and they also have no information about any spiritual items for condensing Nascent Souls.

Lu Cheng'an felt that it was unlikely that the Nascent Soul sect cultivators, such as the Ancient Desolate Sect, were lying, because, as these Nascent Soul sect cultivators said, they had consumed all the spiritual items that aided in the condensation of the Nascent Soul in recent years.

As a result, Lu Cheng'an could only place his hopes of obtaining condensed nascent soul spirits on the Netherworld ghosts such as Black Sand.

Lu Cheng'an did not sever ties with Heisha; his main purpose was to inquire about Heiyang's situation.

However, after all these years, Hei Yang has never returned to the Nether River.

Now, even Black Sand thinks that Black Sun might have failed to break through to the fourth tier.

However, because Lu Cheng'an had previously attacked Luo Sheng and other ghosts, even though there was still no news from Hei Yang, Luo Sheng and the other ghosts had not attacked Hei Sha again.

The news from the Netherworld River also disappointed Lu Cheng'an. If Hei Yang really failed to break through to the fourth rank, then his path of obtaining condensed nascent soul spiritual objects from the Netherworld would be blocked.

Although Lu Cheng'an has not yet obtained any information about the condensation of the Nascent Soul spiritual object, he cannot slow down the speed at which Lu Jingkun and the other person's cultivation improves.

He has summoned Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping to his cave dwelling to instruct them on their cultivation.

Both Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping possessed exceptional talent in cultivation, and after receiving meticulous guidance from Lu Chengan, they both made significant progress.

Next, they only need to focus on cultivation for a period of time before they can attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

After instructing Lu Jingkun and Lu Cheng'an, he closed his cave dwelling and began to digest his gains from the Desolate Ancient Sect. (End of Chapter)
