Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The Holy Heart Ancestor is extremely powerful, stronger than both the Blazing Sun True Monarch and the Heavenly Sword True Monarch, who are both at the Nascent Soul stage.

If he were to launch a frenzied revenge, even True Lord Lieyang and True Lord Tianjian might perish.

After the Sword Inquiry True Monarch's voice fell, the Nascent Soul cultivators, including the Blazing Sun True Monarch, all fell silent.

They could all foresee this situation, but none of them could make a decision.

Because the price to be paid to prevent the Holy Heart Ancestor from breaking through is too high, even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm with the strength of True Lord Blazing Sun might face mortal danger.

Suddenly, True Lord Lieyang's gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an. He thought of the power Lu Cheng'an had unleashed when he used the Ancient Seal of Tranquility.

The Bloodmane Sky Bull, a chaotic creature, possesses immense combat power. True Lord Lieyang believes that even the Holy Heart Ancestor's strength may not surpass that of the Bloodmane Sky Bull.

However, since they were able to kill the Blood-Mane Sky Bull by relying on the power of the Quiet Ancient Seal used by Lu Cheng'an, could they also kill the Sacred Heart Ancestor by relying on Lu Cheng'an's divine power?
Lu Cheng'an was very perceptive, and he immediately noticed when Lieyang Zhenjun's gaze fell on him.

His mind raced, and he quickly guessed what Lord Lieyang was thinking.

He didn't actually want to attack the Holy Heart Ancestor at this time, because he felt that the Holy Heart Ancestor's chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm were extremely slim.

Moreover, the Sacred Heart Ancestor is not a chaotic creature, the Blood-Maned Sky Bull. The Sacred Heart Ancestor's combat power may be weaker than that of the Blood-Maned Sky Bull, but his methods are definitely stronger.

Although the power of the Jinggu Seal is quite formidable, it may not be enough to kill the Sacred Heart Ancestor.

If the Holy Heart Ancestor had not died, and he had revealed that he possessed the divine power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal, he would have been targeted relentlessly by the Holy Heart Ancestor.

He is now confident that he can fight against the Holy Heart Ancestor, but the strength of their Lu family is still too weak.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an did not want to reveal his true strength at this time.

As Lu Cheng'an was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard the voice of True Lord Lieyang.

“I think we can take action against Ancestor Sacred Heart now and stop him from breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. Moreover, the risks we take are actually not that great. Some time ago, Fellow Daoist Lu and I together killed a chaotic creature, the Bloodmane Heavenly Bull…”

After expressing his meaning, True Lord Lieyang told the group of Nascent Soul cultivators in Hezhou about how they had killed the Blood-Mane Heavenly Bull.

At this moment, the gazes of the Nascent Soul cultivators, including Sword Inquiry True Monarch, all fell upon Lu Cheng'an, as this news far exceeded their comprehension.

They were very familiar with Lu Cheng'an, the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, thanks to his status as a fourth-tier weapon refiner.

These Nascent Soul cultivators from various Nascent Soul sects had all sought out Lu Cheng'an to refine fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures.

However, True Lord Lieyang told them that Lu Cheng'an also possessed a powerful divine ability called the Tranquil Ancient Seal, which surprised them quite a bit.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, may we now demonstrate the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal?" True Monarch Wenjian asked with a smile.

Although Lord Lieyang has spoken of the power of the Jinggu Seal, it would be best to see it for oneself.

“Of course, that’s possible. I just wonder which fellow Daoist would like to cooperate with me?” Lu Cheng’an asked with a smile.

He would naturally not refuse if it was just a demonstration of the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal.

Moreover, he believed that even after he demonstrated the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal, there would still be Nascent Soul cultivators who would be unwilling to take the initiative to attack the Sacred Heart Ancestor.

“I will cooperate with Fellow Daoist Lu!” said True Monarch Wenjian.

"That's offending!"

Lu Cheng'an didn't say much. After glancing at True Monarch Wenjian, he directly used the Tranquil Ancient Seal to envelop True Monarch Wenjian.

The Tranquil Ancient Seal is a divine power that does not have any harmful ability; it only renders the opponent unable to move for a certain period of time.

To break this supernatural power, the only option is to rely on a power that also involves the power of time.

If the Tranquil Ancient Seal is used in conjunction with the Thousand-Year Seal, the power of both of these divine abilities will be enhanced.

At this point, the Tranquil Ancient Seal will cause some damage to the opponent's physical body, and this damage is caused by the power of time, making it difficult to recover.

The Sword Inquiry True Monarch was prepared, but when he sensed the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal, he still felt the stagnation of time around him.

He then focused all his efforts on dispelling the power of the Jinggu Seal, and it took him more than half a breath to dispel the power of the Jinggu Seal that enveloped him.

"Fellow Daoist Lu's Tranquil Ancient Seal technique is indeed extraordinary!" After dissolving the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal, True Monarch Wenjian felt a chill run down his spine.

He couldn't react for more than half a breath. If he had been attacked during that time, he would have been severely injured or even killed.

"Fellow Daoist Zhai, you flatter me. The influence of the Tranquil Ancient Seal on you is much weaker than that on the Blood-Mane Heavenly Ox. I don't know the exact strength of the Holy Heart Ancestor, but I imagine the influence of the Tranquil Ancient Seal on him will be even smaller!" Lu Cheng'an sighed softly.

After sensing the time it took for True Monarch Wenjian to dissolve the Jinggu Seal, True Monarch Lieyang's expression changed slightly.

In terms of combat power alone, the Blood-Maned Sky Bull is definitely stronger than the Sword Inquiry True Monarch, but when it comes to dissolving the Ancient Seal of Stillness, it is no match for these Nascent Soul cultivators.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware of the Holy Heart Ancestor's strength, but he was well aware of it.

The Holy Heart Ancestor is far more powerful than the Sword Inquiry True Monarch, so the Tranquil Ancient Seal will definitely have less impact on the Holy Heart Ancestor.

“Fellow Daoist Lu is right. The effect of the Tranquil Ancient Seal on the Blood-Mane Celestial Ox is greater than that on Fellow Daoist Zhai!” True Monarch Lieyang said with some helplessness.

"The Tranquil Ancient Seal that Fellow Daoist Lu used should be a divine power involving the power of time, right? Do you all remember that the Holy Heart Old Monster also has a magic treasure called the Thousand Autumn Lamp? This magic treasure is also a treasure involving the power of time!"

The old man of ten thousand medicines swept his gaze over everyone and continued, "If the old monster of the Holy Heart were to activate the power of the Thousand Autumn Lamp, Fellow Daoist Lu's supernatural powers might not have any effect on him."

"Don't forget the Nine-Colored Wind Butterfly and other demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains. If we attack the Holy Heart Old Monster, the Nine-Colored Wind Butterfly might not stand idly by!"

The Nine-Colored Wind Butterfly is the Demon King who has transformed into a butterfly, and her strength is even a notch above that of the Sacred Heart Ancestor.

"Elder Yao, if the Holy Heart Old Monster's cultivation successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, it won't be good for the Nine-Colored Wind Butterfly, will it?" True Monarch Youshui frowned and said.

True Monarch Youshui replaced the Purple Sun Sect, which had been destroyed by the Sacred Heart Sect. The power he created did not exist in the form of a sect, but rather in the form of a family, similar to the Lu family. After all, True Monarch Youshui and the other two Nascent Soul cultivators were husband and wife, father and sons.

"No, if the Holy Heart Old Monster's cultivation successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, he will probably do his best to help the Nine-Colored Wind Butterfly break through to the fifth rank. After all, this area we are in is really not suitable for Nascent Soul realm cultivators to live in!" Yao Lao said in a deep voice.

Once the Holy Heart Ancestor successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, he will definitely try to leave his current location.

Although the outside world of cultivation has more resources, an outsider like the Holy Heart Ancestor would certainly not have any advantage in competing for cultivation resources.

However, if the Butterfly Demon King's cultivation level breaks through to the fifth rank, then when he joins forces with the Butterfly Demon King, the competition will be much greater.

It's likely that the Holy Heart Ancestor has already contacted the Butterfly Demon King, since if he fails to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, the Holy Heart Sect's strength will be greatly weakened.

Although True Lord Shengyang's cultivation had broken through to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, there was still a considerable gap between his strength and that of Ancestor Shengxin.

"I believe the chances of the Holy Heart Old Monster breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm are extremely slim. We don't need to risk his life at this time!" Yao Lao said in a deep voice.

"I think Elder Yao is right. If we hinder the Holy Heart Monster's breakthrough at this time, it will definitely provoke his crazy revenge!"

The face of True Monarch Wanying was solemn. He glanced at True Monarch Lieyang and the others, and continued, "Leaving aside whether the Demon King of Butterfly Transformation will help the Old Monster of Sacred Heart, it will be no easy task for us to break through the Sacred Heart Sect's protective formation!"

If they want to prevent the Holy Heart Ancestor from breaking through, they must break through the Holy Heart Sect's protective formation.

This would require them to have strength far exceeding that of the Sacred Heart Sect, and they don't seem to possess such power.

After Elder Wanyao and True Monarch Wanying spoke, True Monarch Youshui and True Monarch Qiongmiao also expressed their opinions, as they were also reluctant to attack Ancestor Shengxin at this time.

They shared the same opinion as Elder Wan Yao and True Monarch Wan Ying: they felt there was no need for them to take action against Ancestor Sheng Xin.

After all, the probability of the Holy Heart Ancestor breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm is extremely slim. If they attack the Holy Heart Ancestor at this time, they may pay an extremely heavy price.

Comparing the two options, they felt it was best not to attack the Sacred Heart Ancestor at this time.

Lu Cheng'an also expressed his opinion, saying that he did not want to make a move against the Sacred Heart Ancestor at this time.

Seeing this, True Lord Lieyang and True Lord Wenjian did not press the matter further.

After all, they shared the same concerns as Lu Cheng'an and the others.

"Since none of you fellow Daoists are willing to attack Ancestor Sacred Heart at this time, then let's wait and see what happens when Ancestor Sacred Heart breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm!" True Monarch Wenjian sighed softly.

Soon after, Lu Cheng'an and the others left the Heavenly Sword Sect one by one and returned to their respective cultivation factions.

After returning to the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an immediately told the three Nascent Soul cultivators in the clan about the results of their discussion at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Uncle Cheng'an, what should we do if the Holy Heart Old Monster's cultivation really breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm?" Lu Jingkun asked with a frown.

“Then I will lead you to surrender to the Holy Heart Old Monster. You two are both fourth-level spirit array masters, and your aunt and I are fourth-level weapon refiners and alchemists, respectively. If we surrender, I believe the Holy Heart Old Monster will definitely not refuse!” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

It is by no means easy to elevate a cultivation technique to the fourth level. The fact that the four Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family have each mastered a cultivation technique to the fourth level is extremely rare.

As long as they are willing to pledge allegiance to a certain cultivation faction, that faction will find it difficult to refuse their surrender.

"You don't need to worry about these things. Our Lu family has only been a Nascent Soul power for a short time, and we don't have any deep hatred for the Sacred Heart Sect. Even if the old monster of the Sacred Heart Sect really breaks through to the Divine Transformation Realm, he may not come after us!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The Lu family is different from Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect; they have never truly formed a deadly feud with the Sacred Heart Sect.

The Nascent Soul cultivator, Heavenly Locust True Monarch, who died at his hands before, was only an outer-layer cultivator trained by the Sacred Heart Sect and could not be considered a true Nascent Soul cultivator of the Sacred Heart Sect.

Moreover, Lu Cheng'an felt that if the Holy Heart Ancestor's cultivation had truly broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, he might no longer take their newly emerging Nascent Soul power, the Lu family, seriously.

However, forces like Haoyang Sect and Tianjian Sect, which have produced Nascent Soul cultivators in the past, may face retribution from the Holy Heart Ancestor.

This is also a major reason why True Lord Lieyang and True Lord Wenjian wanted to prevent Ancestor Shengxin from breaking through.

However, since the Nascent Soul cultivators, including the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines, did not cooperate, and neither did True Lord Lieyang and the other two were able to force the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines and other Nascent Soul forces to take action.

After Lu Cheng'an told Shi Ningyu and the other two the results of the discussion at the Heavenly Sword Sect, Shi Ningyu quickly returned to her cave to cultivate in seclusion, while Lu Cheng'an followed Lu Jingkun and the other two to check on the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array.

When Lu Cheng'an left the family, Lu Jingkun and Lu Cheng'an had already successfully set up the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array.

At that time, Lu Cheng'an was in seclusion in his cave cultivating and did not break out to check on the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array.

The Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array covers a much smaller area; this array only affects the nine main peaks of the Lu Family Mountain Gate.

This spirit array will integrate the spiritual energy intercepted by the spirit interception array from the underground magma river into the spiritual veins of the nine main peaks of the Lu family mountain gate, thereby improving the grade of the spiritual veins of the nine main peaks and giving birth to a greater number of fourth-order spiritual veins.

The grade of the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array will continuously improve as Lu Jingkun and the other person's spirit array skills improve.

According to Lu Jingkun and his companion's plan, once their spirit array skills are sufficient and the number of fourth-order spirit veins in their family's mountain gate reaches a certain level, the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array will be able to fuse these fourth-order spirit veins and cultivate a spirit vein of fifth-order quality.

There are significant differences between fifth-order and fourth-order spiritual veins. Even merging all the fourth-order spiritual veins in the mountain gate into a single fifth-order spiritual vein would be extremely worthwhile.

This is because the spiritual energy nurtured by fifth-order spiritual veins is of higher quality.

If a cultivator refines spiritual energy of this quality for cultivation, it will be more conducive to improving their cultivation level.

The Intercepting Spirit Array and the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array have just been set up, and so far these two spirit arrays have not brought much change to the Lu family's mountain gate.

Lu Cheng'an was not proficient in spirit arrays. After checking the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array with Lu Jingkun and the other person, he told them to temporarily slow down the time spent on the spirit array and spend more time on cultivation.

However, at this moment, Lu Chengping told Lu Chengan some news: his child was about to be born.

Lu Chengping has two Daoist partners, both of whom come from the Spirit Gu Sect and have now reached the late Golden Core stage. (End of Chapter)
