"Lu Cheng'an!"

"This is impossible! How could the person who attacked us be Lu Cheng'an!"

…………

When the Golden Bee Demon King and other fourth-tier demon beasts saw Lu Cheng'an appear, they exclaimed in surprise, shouting that it was impossible.

They had previously investigated Lu Cheng'an's situation, and Lu Cheng'an was at most a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

The cultivator who attacked them before was so powerful, how could it possibly be Lu Cheng'an!
However, some fourth-tier demonic beasts quickly realized what was happening. They continued to beg Lu Cheng'an for mercy, claiming that the Butterfly Transformation Demon King had ordered them to come, and that they dared not disobey the Butterfly Transformation Demon King's orders.

"My main purpose in coming here is for you. Once you've read this Dharma text, you'll understand why I've come!"

The Butterfly Demon King gave Lu Cheng'an a deep look, then let out a helpless sigh and handed him a blue-gold illustration.

The catalog was made of some unknown material, and it was covered with dense text.

Lu Cheng'an quickly looked through the contents of the catalog and immediately understood what it was.

The catalogue records a heretical method called the "Borrowing Fortune Method," in which the cultivator whose fortune is borrowed suffers extremely severe torture during the process until their soul is completely destroyed.

The method of borrowing luck also has great hidden dangers. After a cultivator successfully borrows luck, their fortune may be extremely prosperous for a short period of time.

However, the luck borrowed is not truly one's own, and many years later, one is very likely to suffer the backlash of the borrowed luck, thus ending up in an extremely miserable state.

The Demon Queen of the Butterfly Transformation couldn't think about anything else now. She only wanted to successfully borrow Lu Cheng'an's fortune and break through to the fifth rank with the help of her peak luck.

As for the backlash many years later, we'll talk about that after he successfully breaks through his cultivation level.

After seeing the Borrowing Fortune Technique, Lu Cheng'an knew exactly what the Butterfly Demon King was up to.

"I have not hidden anything from Fellow Daoist Lu. I am willing to serve you as a slave. Please spare my life!" the Butterfly Demon King said gently.

Monsters have extremely long lifespans; even now, the Butterfly Transformation Demon King still has a lifespan of over a thousand years.

Therefore, the Butterfly Demon King did not want to die at Lu Cheng'an's hands; only by living could there be hope.

Lu Cheng'an ignored the Butterfly Demon King. A ball of flame emerged from his palm, which enveloped the diagram containing the method of borrowing luck and instantly burned it into nothingness.

Only then did Lu Cheng'an's gaze fall upon the Butterfly Demon King. The Butterfly Demon King's reaction made Lu Cheng'an realize that it was an extremely terrifying demon beast.

Moreover, the Butterfly Demon King's strength was too overwhelming, and it was only at this moment that he truly harbored murderous intent towards the Butterfly Demon King.

Lu Cheng'an did not hesitate. After his killing intent surfaced, he directly released the fire domain he had condensed, which instantly encompassed the Butterfly Demon King.

When he was in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, his Fire Domain was only ten zhang in size.

As his cultivation level broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage, the range of his Fire Domain also increased, now expanding to fifteen zhang.

The Butterfly Demon King's reaction was extremely sharp; she sensed Lu Cheng'an's murderous intent the instant he showed it.

She didn't know what prompted Lu Cheng'an to want to kill her, but she reacted quickly nonetheless.

Her azure wings fluttered gently behind her, causing ripples to appear in the surrounding space, which were about to engulf the body of the Butterfly Demon King.

However, in an instant, the body of the Butterfly Demon King was covered by the fire domain, and the space that was about to be expanded by the Butterfly Demon King was instantly restored to its original state.

"Domain? How could a Nascent Soul cultivator like you possibly possess the power of a domain!"

The Butterfly Demon King exclaimed in surprise, as every power Lu Cheng'an displayed far exceeded her expectations.

The domain is a power unique to Nascent Soul cultivators; how could Lu Cheng'an, a Nascent Soul cultivator, possibly master it?

Lu Cheng'an naturally wouldn't explain to the Butterfly Demon King how he condensed the fire domain. After covering the Butterfly Demon King's body with the fire domain, he pushed the power of the fire domain to its limit, continuously pressing down on the Butterfly Demon King's body.

Lu Cheng'an was invincible in the Fire Domain, not to mention that the Butterfly Demon King had suffered extremely serious injuries.

Now, the Butterfly Demon King is completely powerless to resist the overwhelming power of the Fire Domain.

Her body was slowly shattering under the pressure of the fire domain's power.

After this situation lasted for an hour, the Butterfly Demon King was completely annihilated by Lu Cheng'an in the Fire Domain.

The Butterfly Demon King is a more powerful being than the Chaos creature Bloodmane Sky Bull, but she is not a Chaos creature, and the power in her corpse does not benefit Lu Cheng'an in increasing his Fire Domain.

However, Lu Cheng'an managed to extract a fourth-tier top-grade material from the corpse of the Butterfly Demon King.

This top-grade fourth-tier material is the wings of the Butterfly Demon King. These wings contain natural spatial runes, which can be used to refine special types of spatial magic treasures.

Lu Cheng'an felt that if he could thoroughly study the spatial runes on the wings of the Butterfly Demon King, his understanding of the Dao of Space would definitely be deepened.

Apart from the pair of wings, the materials in the corpse of the Butterfly Demon King were relatively ordinary; the most valuable item was probably the Butterfly Demon King's flesh and blood.

After all, she was a fourth-order perfect realm demon beast, and the energy contained in her flesh and blood was extremely abundant.

If used to cultivate fourth-tier spiritual herbs, it can allow some special types of spiritual herbs to mature in a short period of time.

After Lu Cheng'an absorbed the power of the Fire Domain, he dismembered the corpse of the Butterfly Demon King in front of the Golden Bee and other demonic beasts.

The Golden Bee Demon King and other fourth-tier demon beasts watched this scene with horror in their eyes. They were terrified that they would be Lu Cheng'an's next targets for dismemberment.

After dealing with the corpse of the Butterfly Demon King, Lu Cheng'an turned his gaze to the Golden Bee and other fourth-tier demon beasts.

"Considering that you were driven by the Nine-Colored Wind Butterfly, I will spare your lives for now!"

"Thank you for sparing our lives, sir. We are willing to obey your orders from now on!"

Upon hearing that Lu Cheng'an wouldn't kill them, the fourth-tier demonic beasts, including the Golden Bee, breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately expressed their gratitude to Lu Cheng'an and then began to curry favor with him.

Lu Cheng'an remained unaffected by the flattery from the fourth-tier demonic beasts, including the Golden Bee, and continued, "Now you return to the Hong'e Mountains, collect all the third-tier and higher-grade spiritual objects in the Hong'e Mountains, and then send them to the Lu family."

"I'm giving you five days. If you can't handle this matter within five days, then you won't be alive!" After leaving these words, Lu Cheng'an returned directly to the Lu family's mountain gate, ignoring the fourth-tier demonic beasts like the Golden Bee.

These fourth-tier demonic beasts still have the Pure Yang True Fire Seal he left inside them. If they dare to disobey his orders, even if they escape the territory of Qing and He states, he can take their lives directly.

"Uncle Cheng'an, you're back safely. Where are the Butterfly Demon King and the other fourth-tier demon beasts from the Hong'e Mountains now?"

"Cheng'an, did you fight those fourth-tier demonic beasts? Were you injured?"

…………

After Lu Cheng'an returned to the Lu family's mountain gate, Lu Jingkun and other Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators from the Lu family surrounded him and began to inquire about the situation of the Butterfly Transformation Demon King and other fourth-order demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains.

After all, Lu Cheng'an's notification to them was too urgent, and they didn't even know what had happened.

Shi Ningyu also looked at Lu Cheng'an with a worried expression, wondering what Lu Cheng'an had done on his trip.

Moreover, Lu Cheng'an's absence was too brief, leading Shi Ningyu to suspect that the Snow Crane Demon King had sent false information.

In fact, the fourth-tier demon beasts, such as the Butterfly Demon King, did not target the Lu family.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry. I've already killed the Butterfly Demon King, and I've suppressed all the remaining fourth-tier demon beasts!"

After Lu Cheng'an finished speaking, Lu Jingkun and the others immediately doubted their ears.

What kind of existence is the Butterfly Transformation Demon King? Even if Lu Cheng'an's cultivation has broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, it would be impossible for him to kill the Butterfly Transformation Demon King.
"These are the wings I took from the Butterfly Demon King. They should be able to be refined into a special type of spatial magic weapon!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly, took out the wings he had taken from the corpse of the Butterfly Demon King, and showed them to Lu Jingkun and the others.

"Jing Tong, this is the flesh and blood of the Butterfly Demon King. Use this flesh and blood to cultivate the fourth-tier spiritual plants on Sui Xing Peak!"

After removing the wings of the Butterfly Demon King, Lu Cheng'an also removed its flesh and blood and handed it over to Lu Jingtong for processing.

Lu Jingtong and the other Lu family cultivators had never seen the true form of the Butterfly Demon King, but they could sense an extremely terrifying aura from the pair of wings and flesh that Lu Cheng'an had taken out.

Only a demon beast of the level of the Butterfly Demon King could exude such an aura.

There is only one monster like the Butterfly Demon King in the Hong'e Mountains!
"I will obey the Supreme Elder's decree. I will make good use of this flesh and blood to cultivate a mature fourth-order spiritual plant as soon as possible!"

Lu Jingtong became extremely excited when he heard that Lu Chengan was going to entrust him with the processing of such precious flesh and blood.

He seemed to see an opportunity for himself to break through to the Nascent Soul realm!
Lu Chengan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping.

“I have already taken control of the fourth-tier demonic beasts such as Golden Bee and Rainbow Cloud. Now the demonic beasts in the Hong'e Mountains are no longer a threat. Next, you two will have to work harder to intercept the spiritual energy of the Hong'e Mountains and transport it into the family's mountain gate,” Lu Chengan said in a deep voice.

The Hong'e Mountains are extremely far from the Lu family. Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingkun are both currently at the early Nascent Soul stage. With their current abilities, it would be extremely difficult for them to intercept the spiritual energy of the Hong'e Mountains and channel it into the Lu family's mountain gate.

"We'll do our best!" Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun exchanged a glance, then gave each other a wry smile.

They knew the exact location of the Hong'e Mountains, but it was too far from the Lu family's mountain gate, and they felt that it would be difficult for them to do so with their strength.

"If you find it difficult, you can actually think of it another way!"

Seeing Lu Jingkun and Lu Cheng'an's reaction, Lu Cheng'an said with a smile, "Jingkun, you should have mastered the Divine Power of Driving Mountains by now. With the Mountain-Driving Whip, you should be able to activate the spiritual peak containing the fourth-order spiritual vein."

“Our Lu family’s mountain gate is too far away from the Hong’e Mountains. If you can develop a spirit array to relocate the entire family’s mountain gate, we can simply move the mountain gate to the Hong’e Mountains.”

In fact, Lu Cheng'an had this idea long ago. The cultivation resources in the cultivation world they lived in were limited, and reaching the Nascent Soul Perfection realm was the end of cultivation.

If he wants to advance further, he can only leave this place and go to a more prosperous region.

If he were to enter a new cultivation region alone, he would certainly encounter many hardships.

If the entire Lu family, including their mountain sect, were moved to the new cultivation area, his power would greatly increase.

Lu Cheng'an still had some confidence in Lu Jingkun, after all, the Earthly Jade Book he cultivated possessed the method of driving mountains away.

If he and Lu Chengping were to study this subject more diligently, they would still have a great chance of success.

"Move the family's main gate to the Hong'e Mountains!"

When Lu Jingkun and the others heard Lu Cheng'an's crazy idea, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

“The Hong’e Mountains cover an extremely vast area. Although the number of spiritual veins contained within them is scattered, it far exceeds the number of spiritual veins in our Lu family’s mountain gate. If we were to gather all these spiritual veins into our Lu family’s mountain gate, we would have the hope of nurturing a fifth-order spiritual vein!” Lu Cheng’an said in a deep voice.

His main purpose in doing all this was to cultivate a fifth-order spiritual vein. If the Lu family's mountain gate could successfully cultivate a fifth-order spiritual vein, his probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in this cultivation world would be greatly increased.

It would be easier if they then led their clansmen to other prosperous cultivation worlds.

"Uncle Cheng'an, don't worry, I will definitely be able to figure out a way to relocate the family's mountain gate!" Lu Jingkun assured him earnestly.

After hearing that Lu Cheng'an wanted to cultivate a fifth-order spiritual vein, he understood Lu Cheng'an's purpose and would do his best to help Lu Cheng'an achieve it.

"There's no need to rush this matter. The spiritual energy in the underground magma river of the Burning Flame Mountains is still plentiful. We can wait until the spiritual energy in this area is completely extracted before moving the family's mountain gate to the Hong'e Mountains!"

The Spirit Interception Array is, after all, only a low-grade fourth-order spirit array, and its speed of intercepting spiritual energy is relatively slow.

Even after all these years, the spiritual energy of the underground magma river has still not been completely extracted.

The fourth-order spiritual vein that the Lu family has cultivated in their family mountain gate over the years is not only due to the spiritual energy of the underground magma river, but also half of it is due to other resources invested by the Lu family.

After Lu Cheng'an finished discussing the matter with Lu Jingkun, he asked Lu Wenhua to briefly explain it to the clansmen, and then he took Shi Ningyu back to the cave.

"Brother An, how strong are you now?" Shi Ningyu asked.

She knew Lu Cheng'an was very strong, but she didn't know that he was really strong enough to easily kill beings like the Butterfly Transformation Demon King.

The Butterfly Demon King was already the most powerful being in their cultivation world. Lu Cheng'an's easy slaying of the Butterfly Demon King meant that Lu Cheng'an had become the most powerful, and perhaps the only, being in this cultivation world. (End of Chapter)
