Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The Haoyang Burning Flame Scripture also introduces the process of condensing a Nascent Soul Domain, and the Nascent Soul Domain condensed by this technique is also of the fire attribute.

Lu Cheng'an's focus was on the Fire Domain, which is why he spent a considerable amount of time studying the Haoyang Burning Flame Scripture.

Besides the Haoyang Burning Flame Scripture, the Haoyang Sect also includes other fifth-order cultivation techniques, some of which also possess fire attributes.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an stayed at Haoyang Sect for a relatively long time, a full fifteen years.

His strength has greatly improved during this period.

The fire domain he had condensed did not expand again, but remained only twenty feet in size. However, it now truly possessed the power that belonged to that twenty-foot range.

Moreover, Lu Cheng'an also mastered a secret technique called Haoyang Divine Chain.

This secret technique requires the power of the Fire Domain to be used. Once the cultivator is entangled and imprisoned by the Haoyang Divine Chains, the fire power contained within the Fire Domain will follow closely and instantly invade the imprisoned cultivator's body.

This secret technique is recorded in the Haoyang Burning Flame Scripture, and it is the only secret technique that Lu Cheng'an can cultivate.

Lu Cheng'an has an extremely high talent for cultivating fire-attribute supernatural techniques. He has now cultivated the Haoyang Divine Chain technique to the minor completion level.

The reason he didn't cultivate this secret technique to a deeper level was because he didn't have that much time.

After leaving Haoyang Sect, Lu Cheng'an went to the last Nascent Soul sect in Qing and He states, the Desolate Ancient Sect.

Although the Ancient Desolate Sect now has a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, the Ancient Desolate Sect's foundation is still relatively shallow compared to other sects.

Moreover, Lu Cheng'an had long ago obtained the Ancient Scripture, one of the sect's most treasured techniques.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an's stay at the Desolate Ancient Sect was relatively short.

The only thing that interested Lu Cheng'an about the Ancient Desolate Sect was their research on the Dao of Time. However, after examining various ancient texts of the Ancient Desolate Sect, Lu Cheng'an discovered that their research on the Dao of Time was quite superficial.

Lu Cheng'an only stayed at the Desolate Ancient Sect for two years. After leaving the Desolate Ancient Sect, he did not return to the Lu Family Mountain Gate, but went directly to Taizhou, where the Sacred Heart Sect was located.

Although the Sacred Heart Sect has never produced a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, it has produced a powerful cultivator like the Sacred Heart Ancestor, who reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

This Nascent Soul sect has a rather profound foundation.

The most powerful figure in the Sacred Heart Sect, the Sacred Heart Ancestor, has died. Although True Monarch Shengyang has reached the Nascent Soul Perfection realm, there is still a significant gap between him and the Sacred Heart Ancestor.

Moreover, given Lu Cheng'an's current strength, even if the Holy Heart Ancestor were alive, he would not be able to stop Lu Cheng'an.

Not long after, Lu Cheng'an appeared outside the gate of the Sacred Heart Sect.

He did not directly attack the Sacred Heart Sect, but instead slightly revealed his aura outside the sect's gate.

In a short while, True Lord Shengyang flew out of the Sacred Heart Sect's mountain gate. Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an outside the sect's mountain gate, he nervously went to greet him.

Decades have passed since Lu Cheng'an killed the Butterfly Demon King. Although this news was not deliberately publicized, it was still known to Nascent Soul forces such as the Sacred Heart Sect.

The Sacred Heart Sect, which had the most connections with the monsters of the Hong'e Mountains, was the first to receive this news.

They were all extremely shocked when they learned that the culprit who killed the Butterfly Demon King was Lu Cheng'an, an unknown Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, they did not doubt the authenticity of the news, because they knew that the Butterfly Demon King had indeed been killed.

Therefore, after that, the Sacred Heart Sect further reduced its power, fearing that the culprit who killed the Butterfly Demon King would turn against the Sacred Heart Sect.

They waited and waited, but Lu Cheng'an still hasn't made a move against their Sacred Heart Sect.

The cultivators of the Sacred Heart Sect, including True Lord Shengyang, had already relaxed, but they did not expect Lu Chengan to come to the Sacred Heart Sect at this time.

"Chen Nian greets Fellow Daoist Lu. May I ask what brings you here?" Although Chen Nian was very nervous, he still wore a kind smile on his face.

"I want to see all the items related to the Nascent Soul Realm that your Sacred Heart Sect has treasured!" Lu Cheng'an said calmly after glancing at True Monarch Shengyang.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Lu, please follow me into the sect!" Saint Yang True Monarch breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led Lu Cheng'an into the Desolate Ancient Sect's mountain gate.

Saint Yang Zhenjun had been investigating Lu Cheng'an's situation. He knew that Lu Cheng'an had been spending the past few years at Nascent Soul sects such as Haoyang Sect, borrowing their classic texts on the Divine Transformation realm, clearly preparing to break through to the Divine Transformation realm.

He originally thought that with Lu Cheng'an's strength, he would destroy their Sacred Heart Sect and then seize all of their Sacred Heart Sect's resources, including those classic texts related to the Nascent Soul realm.

He hadn't expected Lu Cheng'an to be so polite and not to attack their Sacred Heart Sect.

This has far exceeded their expectations, so what more could they want?

A moment later, True Lord Shengyang led Lu Cheng'an into the Scripture Pavilion of the Sacred Heart Sect, and opened the entire Scripture Pavilion to Lu Cheng'an free of charge.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sacred Heart Sect had no objections to this.

In addition, True Lord Shengyang did not hold anything back; he handed over all the items related to the Nascent Soul realm that his sect had collected to Lu Cheng'an.

The Sacred Heart Sect has collected many of these items, a large portion of which originated from the Sacred Heart Ancestor.

Unfortunately, items related to the Nascent Soul realm were extremely rare in the cultivation world they inhabited. Even after searching for many years, the Holy Heart Ancestor had not collected any valuable items.

All they managed to collect were some incomplete or damaged items.

After Saint Yang Zhenjun handed these items to Lu Cheng'an, Lu Cheng'an showed great interest in them.

Because Lu Cheng'an sensed the power of the Dao from these items, similar to the broken sword fragment containing the Dao of Metal that he obtained from the Butterfly Demon King.

However, such items are still quite rare. Only one item contains the power of the Great Dao of Fire, and that power is very weak.

Besides these items, the Sacred Heart Sect also has many books on the Nascent Soul realm.

More importantly, it contains the Sacred Heart Ancestor's deductions about the Nascent Soul realm, as well as his insights on failing to break through to the Nascent Soul realm before his death.

This is of great value to Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an stayed at the Sacred Heart Sect for a relatively long time, not leaving until fifteen years later.

By this point, Lu Cheng'an, a Nascent Soul sect leader from Qing, He, and Tai prefectures, had visited all of them, a task that had taken him decades.

During this period, his cultivation level barely improved, but the range of his fire domain expanded to twenty-four zhang. In addition, the books he had read over the years allowed him to accumulate an extremely rich foundation.

His accumulated strength has not yet manifested itself. When his cultivation breaks through to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm and he attempts to break through to the Deity Transformation Realm, his accumulated strength will be revealed.

After leaving the Sacred Heart Sect, Lu Cheng'an went straight back to the Lu family's mountain gate.

He did not return to his cave to cultivate in seclusion, but instead inquired about the family's situation from the clan leader.

Several decades have passed since he left Medicine Immortal Valley. During this time, Shi Ningyu has asked the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines to refine the Nascent Soul Pill.

The old man of ten thousand medicines maintained the same level of skill in refining Nascent Soul Pills as before. This time, he helped the Lu family refine two batches of Nascent Soul Pills, producing a total of eight pills.

While the Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines was refining the Nascent Soul Pill, Shi Ningyu was also watching from the side.

Once the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines had refined the Nascent Soul Pills, Shi Ningyu sent a message to Lu Jingkun, asking him to come and take the eight Nascent Soul Pills back to the clan and give them to Lu Wenhua and other cultivators at the Golden Core Perfection stage to use in an attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Shi Ningyu will remain in Medicine Immortal Valley to learn alchemy from the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines.

Because of Lu Cheng'an, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines was extremely polite to Shi Ningyu. He did not charge any fees for helping the Lu family refine those two batches of Nascent Soul Pills.

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines did not have a bad impression of Shi Ningyu, because Shi Ningyu was indeed very talented in alchemy.

Shi Ningyu stayed in the Medicine Immortal Valley for ten years. When she left, her alchemy skills had greatly improved, and she was quite confident in refining fourth-grade top-quality pills.

However, her cultivation level was still at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Refining fourth-grade top-quality pills was extremely taxing on her mana. Even with Shi Ningyu's foundation, it would be difficult for her mana at the mid-Nascent Soul stage to last until the refining of fourth-grade top-quality pills was finished.

In addition, given the scarcity of materials for fourth-grade top-quality pills, Shi Ningyu naturally wouldn't choose to attempt to become a fourth-grade top-quality alchemist at this time.

After leaving the Medicine Immortal Valley, Shi Ningyu returned directly to the Lu family's mountain gate and began her secluded cultivation.

Besides wanting to raise her cultivation level to the late Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible, she also wanted to try to condense a domain.

The former was alright, but although Lu Cheng'an provided her with some direction for the latter, she still didn't have much of a clue.

During Shi Ningyu's seclusion and cultivation, the eight Nascent Soul Pills were exchanged one by one by Lu Wenxing, Lu Jingxiu and other cultivators of the Lu family who had reached the Golden Core stage.

Having already experienced breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm once, Lu Wenxing's attempt to break through again with the help of the Nascent Soul Pill was much smoother than the first time. He successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm and became the sixth Nascent Soul cultivator in the Lu family.

Afterwards, Lu Jingxiu and the others exchanged Nascent Soul Pills from the family treasury. Lu Jingxiu and Lu Chengyao successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, while Lu Chengmin, Lu Chengbai, and Lu Ruining all failed.

Lu Chengbo was slightly luckier; his situation after failing to break through was similar to Lu Wenxing's, and he was able to fully recover after some recuperation.

Lu Chengbo is a top-tier third-level alchemist, and his wealth is extremely substantial.

The Lu family still has unused Nascent Soul Pills left. Once his injuries have fully recovered, he will still have the ability to replace them with Nascent Soul Pills and attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Chengmin's situation was much worse. Although she did not die, all her cultivation had vanished.

Moreover, her injuries are relatively severe, and even if she recovers, it will seriously affect her lifespan, at most she can only live for another twenty or thirty years.

Lu Ruining's situation was the worst; she died during her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

After Lu Wenxing and Lu Chengyao successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, the Lu family had as many as seven Nascent Soul cultivators, making them the second largest Nascent Soul force after Haoyang Sect.

However, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family are all newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators, and their overall strength is still quite different from that of the Haoyang Sect.

With the increase in Nascent Soul cultivators, the consumption of cultivation resources is also rapidly increasing.

Fortunately, the Lu family's mountain gate has a relatively large number of fourth-order spiritual veins, enough to supply so many Nascent Soul cultivators for cultivation.

Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun, both fourth-tier spirit array masters, have been carefully studying the array that could relocate the entire mountain gate, just as Lu Chengan had instructed.

During this period, they also went to Nascent Soul sects such as the Ancient Desolate Sect to borrow books on spirit arrays and to exchange experiences with fourth-order spirit array masters in these Nascent Soul sects.

Because of Lu Cheng'an, the Nascent Soul sects like the Desolate Ancient Sect treated Lu Jingkun and his companion with great courtesy. After reading numerous books on spirit arrays and exchanging insights on spirit arrays with a fourth-tier spirit array master, the two made significant progress in their understanding of spirit arrays.

Afterwards, the two returned to the family's spiritual array to relocate the entire mountain gate, which was led by Lu Jingkun.

Because Lu Jingkun's natal magic weapon and supernatural powers both possess this ability.

After returning to his family, Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping deduced most of the formation for relocating the mountain gate.

Moreover, after so many years, the spiritual energy in the underground magma river has been greatly weakened by the effect of the spirit-intercepting array.

The two fourth-order spiritual veins of Five Spirit Lake have now both fallen to the third order, and it won't be long before they fall to the second order.

The situation was similar for the two fourth-order fire-attribute spiritual veins.

However, Yinghuo Peak now has three additional fourth-order fire veins.

After Yinghuo Peak nurtured three fourth-order fire veins, each of them could nurture a fourth-order fire-attribute spiritual object every certain period of time.

One of the most concentrated fire veins can nurture the Fire Essence Mother Qi, a fire-attribute spiritual object that helps condense the Nascent Soul.

A large number of spiritual plants were planted on the peak of Jupiter, and with the Lu family investing a lot of resources, the wood elemental energy on this spiritual peak became extremely rich.

When the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array was upgraded to the fourth rank, a third-rank wood vein was born on this spiritual peak.

Now, many years later, two of the third-order wood veins have been promoted to fourth-order wood veins.

These two fourth-order wood veins also give birth to fourth-order wood-attribute spiritual objects every few years, but so far no wood-attribute spiritual objects that can assist in condensing a nascent soul have been born.

After the fourth-order wood vein was nurtured on the Suixing Peak, the pure wood elemental energy released from it nourished the spiritual plants on the peak, greatly shortening their maturation cycle.

In the spirit herb garden on Star Peak, some low-grade fourth-order spirit plants are about to mature.

These are all the results of Lu Jingtong's efforts before he died.

Over the years, Lu Yonghui has fully inherited Lu Jingtong's mantle. His cultivation recently broke through to the late Golden Core stage, and he is now capable of cultivating fourth-grade low-level spiritual plants. (End of Chapter)
