Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost King's caves are both located in the central area of ​​Qingluo City. Although Qingluo City was severely damaged by the ghosts of Wanhe Palace using the Dragon Jade Profound Yin Dharma Ship, the core area was minimally affected.

Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost King's cave dwellings were completely unaffected.

After returning to his cave, Lu Cheng'an immediately took out a pill to restore his mana and began to recover his depleted mana.

His internal magical power was not severely depleted; he only activated divine abilities such as the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal and did not engage in prolonged combat.

However, being in the Netherworld, the world was filled with Netherworld energy.

He talked with the Mystic Monster for so long, but neither of them recovered the slightest bit of their depleted magical power.

Time passed slowly, and more than a month went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Green-Faced Ghost King finally emerged from the cave, and his injuries had basically healed.

At this point, he immediately sent a message to Lu Cheng'an, inviting him to the cave to discuss the follow-up matters.

"How is Fellow Daoist Qingmian doing now? Has your injury fully recovered?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Lu. My injuries have healed!"

The Green-Faced Ghost Emperor smiled faintly and said, "I was able to kill Zi Shuang and Xue Yun this time thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu's help. Fellow Daoist Lu, please accept my bow!"

He was indeed able to kill Zishuang and Xueyun thanks to Lu Chengan's help; otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to severely injure Xueyun with the Purple Yin Thunderfire Pearl.

After that, Lu Cheng'an also restrained the Yin Hua Sect's Mi Yin Old Monster, preventing him from helping Zi Shuang and Xue Yun at all.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmian is too kind. I only helped with a small matter. Fellow Daoist Qingmian was able to kill Zishuang and Xueyun because of his own formidable strength!" Lu Chengan said with a smile.

The Green-Faced Ghost King was indeed strong, far surpassing Zi Shuang and Xue Yun, who were at the same level, but there was still a significant gap between them.

This was still in the Netherworld. If it were in the mortal world, killing the Green-Faced Ghost King would be an easy task for him.

“I have something to tell Fellow Daoist Qingmian. I learned some information from Old Monster Miyin. The reason why Yinhua Sect sent Old Monster Miyin into the Netherworld to help Zishuang and Xueyun is because Zishuang and Xueyun made a deal with Yinhua Sect. They are willing to share the Taixu Divine Fruit with Yinhua Sect.”

"However, the Yin Hua Sect has not yet learned the exact location of the Tai Xu Divine Fruit from Zi Shuang and Xue Yun. We learned from Jin Feng, a fourth-tier ghost from Wanhe Palace, that the Tai Xu Divine Fruit grows in the Wujian Wasteland, but we do not know exactly where the Wujian Wasteland is."

Lu Cheng'an looked at the Green-Faced Ghost King and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Green-Faced know where the Boundless Wasteland is?"

"The Wasteland of No Return is a secret realm in the southwest of Wanhe Palace. Only those who have reached the fifth level of cultivation can enter it. That secret realm is mainly controlled by the Earth Nether Sect. Wanhe Palace only has two slots to enter the Wasteland of No Return!"

The Green-Faced Ghost King frowned deeply and continued, "Now that I have destroyed the Wanhe Palace, those two spots for entering the Boundless Wasteland may not necessarily fall into my hands!"

The Earthly Netherworld Sect is a sect in the Netherworld, and its power far surpasses that of the Myriad Rivers Palace and the Azure Luo City.

The Earthly Nether Sect has a late-stage fifth-order ghost guarding it, making its strength extremely terrifying, far surpassing that of forces like the Myriad Rivers Palace and Azure Luo City.

The reason why the Earthly Nether Sect allocates some slots to fifth-order ghosts like Zishuang and Xueyun is because the Boundless Wasteland is extremely dangerous and is inhabited by a large number of high-order Nether Beasts.

The fifth-tier ghosts of the Earthly Nether Sect alone are no match for the high-tier ghosts in the Boundless Wasteland.

We are currently in the period when the Wasteland of No Return is open, and each opening of the Wasteland of No Return lasts for ten years.

Zi Shuang and Xue Yun had previously entered the Boundless Wasteland, where they discovered the Tai Xu Divine Fruit.

However, the place where the Taixu Divine Fruit grows is guarded by a mid-stage fifth-order Shadow Flying Tiger, so Zishuang and Xueyun are no match for that Nether Beast.

Neither of them dared to tell the Underworld Sect this secret, because once the news was leaked, they would never have another chance to obtain the Taixu Divine Fruit.

After much deliberation, they finally decided to invite cultivators from the Yin Hua Sect to enter the Boundless Wasteland to help them seize the Tai Xu Divine Fruit.

The Yin Hua Sect has a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in charge. Even if their strength is reduced after entering the Netherworld, with their help, killing that mid-stage fifth-tier Shadow Flying Tiger should not be a difficult task.

Unfortunately, they were too greedy. They wanted to use the power of the Yin Hua Sect to kill the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor before obtaining the Tai Xu Divine Fruit, but in the end, they were killed by the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

“Old Monster Miyin is currently on the Dragon Jade Profound Yin Dharma Ship outside Qingluo City. He is still waiting for your news. Tell him what you know about the Boundless Wasteland as soon as possible, and then we’ll see what the Yin Hua Sect behind him means!” Lu Cheng’an said.

The Taixu Divine Fruit can enhance the primordial spirit power of Nascent Soul cultivators and accelerate their cultivation advancement.

Although Lu Cheng'an also wanted to obtain this Taixu Divine Fruit, after learning about its growing environment, he knew that his chances of getting it were extremely slim.

He wasn't particularly insistent on this, after all, his cultivation had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please come with me!" the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor invited with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an immediately agreed and left Qingluo City with the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor, soon entering the Dragon Jade Profound Yin Dharma Ship.

The Dragon Jade Profound Yin Dharma Ship is a top-grade fourth-tier treasure, but this kind of Yin treasure can only be used in the Netherworld, and only ghosts can activate it. It has no effect on Lu Cheng'an.

The Dragon Jade Profound Yin Dharma Ship belonged to the Wanhe Palace. Now that the two fifth-tier ghosts of the Wanhe Palace have been killed by the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor, the Dragon Jade Profound Yin Dharma Ship has also fallen directly into the hands of the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

"How have you been lately, Fellow Daoist Miyin?"

Upon seeing the Mysterious Sound Old Monster, Lu Cheng'an immediately greeted him with a smile.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lu Cheng'an asked the Green-Faced Ghost King to give the Old Monster of Lost Sound another briefing on the situation in the Wasteland of No Return.

After speaking, the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor smiled and looked at the Bewitching Old Monster, saying, "This is the jade talisman I obtained from Zi Shuang and Xue Yun to enter the Boundless Wasteland. As long as the jade talisman is refined, one can enter the Boundless Wasteland. If your sect agrees to the conditions I have proposed, you can send a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to enter the Netherworld and accompany me into the Boundless Wasteland to pick the Tai Xu Divine Fruit."

After telling the old monster of the Lost Wasteland about the situation there, the Green-Faced Ghost King also put forward his own conditions.

The Yin Hua Sect needs to send a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to accompany him into the Boundless Wasteland, and the obtained Tai Xu Divine Fruit will be divided 50/50.

This was only a transaction concerning the Taixu Divine Fruit. As for the subsequent cooperation between Qingluo City and Yinhua Sect, it would have to wait until the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor had consolidated the remaining forces of Wanhe Palace before further discussions could take place. Upon hearing the conditions proposed by the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor, the Old Monster of Miyin frowned deeply.

"The Wasteland of No Return is a secret realm in the Netherworld, and the true ruler of this secret realm is the Earthly Nether Sect!"

The old monster of the Miyin muttered to himself, "The strength of the Earthly Nether Sect is even stronger than that of our Yinhua Sect. The sect has a ghost in the late stage of the fifth rank guarding it."

Although the Taixu Divine Fruit is precious, its grade is only the fifth-grade low-level.

This treasure is most effective for cultivators in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm. While it may have some effect on cultivators in the middle stages of the Nascent Soul realm, the effect is less pronounced.

The reason why the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator of Yin Hua Sect agreed to the conditions of the two ghosts from Wanhe Palace was that they did not know that this matter was related to a force like the Netherworld Sect of the Underworld. Otherwise, they would never have agreed to the invitation from the two ghosts from Wanhe Palace.

The effects of the Taixu Divine Fruit are not so obvious for mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, so they naturally wouldn't risk entering the Netherworld for a low-grade fifth-tier Taixu Divine Fruit.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I will return to the sect and tell the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator there about what happened!"

"But you shouldn't have too high hopes. The Taixu Divine Fruit is only a fifth-grade low-level treasure. This kind of treasure is not very useful to mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. The mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in our sect may not be willing to venture into the Netherworld!" Old Monster Miyin said truthfully.

When cultivators from the mortal world enter the underworld, their strength is greatly weakened, making them more vulnerable to danger.

"Fellow Daoist Miyin, please go back. Whatever the outcome, we can accept it!"

"However, I will ask Fellow Daoist Miyin to wait a few more days. I will go to Wanhe Palace with you later!" said the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

The Purple Frost Ghost Emperor and the Blood Cloud Ghost Emperor were killed by the Green Face Ghost Emperor, and Shang Tong and other elites of the Wanhe Palace were all on the Fei Xuan Yin Dharma Ship. At present, the Wanhe Palace does not have any powerful forces to guard it.

The Green-Faced Ghost King originally wanted to take over the power of Wanhe Palace as soon as possible, but he did not take action because his injuries were too severe.

Now that his injuries have healed, he has also confirmed the matter of the Taixu Divine Fruit with the Old Monster of Miyin.

Next, he only needs to make arrangements for the affairs of Qingluo City before he can personally handle the various matters of Wanhe Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmian, there's no need to rush. I will continue to wait on the Dragon Jade Profound Yin Dharma Ship. It won't be too late for me to go back after Fellow Daoist Qingmian's matter is settled!" Old Monster Miyin said with a smile.

After making their agreement, the Green-Faced Ghost King and the Bewitching Old Monster left the Dragon Jade Mystic Yin Dharma Ship.

After returning to Qingluo City, he began to handle various affairs in Qingluo City and arranged for his ghost subordinates to take over the Wanhe Palace's assets.

Lu Cheng'an did not leave the Dragon Jade Profound Yin Dharma Ship; he remained on the ship to continue talking with the Bewitching Old Monster.

Lu Cheng'an did not reveal his true information to the Old Monster of Miyin. He only said that he had accidentally entered the Netherworld and that the Yang Realm where he was located was extremely remote and far away from Mengyuan Prefecture where the Yinhua Sect was located.

Mengyuan Prefecture is the region where the Yin Hua Sect is located. It is bordered by Jinhua Prefecture, Qianyuan Prefecture, and Yunhai Prefecture.

These four states are extremely vast in area and have a large number of cultivators.

Both Mengyuan Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture are territories occupied by human cultivators, but the human cultivators in the two prefectures are somewhat different.

The cultivators in Mengyuan Prefecture are mostly unorthodox cultivation forces like the Yin Hua Sect.

The Yin Hua Sect is famous for its skill in controlling ghosts.

Within Mengyuan Prefecture, there are also two immortal cultivation sects, the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Desire Spirit Sect, each with a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge. Among them, the Desire Spirit Sect is the most powerful.

The Red Cherry Blossom Sovereign of the Desire Spirit Sect is at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. She has been stuck at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm for hundreds of years, and there is a considerable chance that she will break through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yinhua Sect are evenly matched in strength, with six Nascent Soul cultivators in each sect. However, the cultivation levels of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the two sects are somewhat different.

Of the six Nascent Soul cultivators in the Heavenly Corpse Sect, three are in the mid-Nascent Soul stage and three are in the early Nascent Soul stage; however, of the six Nascent Soul cultivators in the Yinhua Sect, two are in the mid-Nascent Soul stage and four are in the early Nascent Soul stage, making the Yinhua Sect slightly stronger overall.

Yunhai Prefecture is full of righteous cultivation forces. There are two cultivation forces in Yunhai Prefecture with Nascent Soul cultivators in charge: Wanlei Sect and Yunhai Sect.

The Wanlei Sect and the Yunhai Sect have a deep entanglement. It is said that the founding ancestors of the two sects were fellow disciples of the cultivation forces of several major states near the Central Divine Continent. Therefore, the Wanlei Sect and the Yunhai Sect have always had a good relationship.

Currently, the Wanlei Sect has eight cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, including one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and five early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Yunhai Sect is even stronger, now having nine cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, including two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, three mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and four early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Jinhua Prefecture is a region occupied by the demon race, and the demon race in Jinhua Prefecture is quite powerful. There is currently a White Wolf King in this prefecture who is at the fourth-order perfect realm.

Qianyuan Prefecture was originally a territory occupied by human cultivators, and it was originally the strongest prefecture in terms of overall strength.

However, Qian Yuan Prefecture has now been occupied by demonic cultivators.

The demonic cultivators are developing at an extremely rapid pace, and now the entire Qian Yuan Prefecture is occupied by the Yuan Shui Demonic Sect.

The Yuan Shui Demon Sect is extremely powerful. Its sect leader, Yuan Shui Lao Mu, is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, the Yuan Shui Demon Sect has four late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, six mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and eight early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Under the leadership of Yuan Shui Laomu, who was at the perfect Nascent Soul stage, the Yuan Shui Demon Sect continued to encroach on the territories of Jinhua Prefecture, Yunhai Prefecture, and Mengyuan Prefecture.

Now, the cultivators of the three states have no choice but to put aside their previous differences and unite to resist the attack of the Yuan Shui Demon Sect.

Even so, they still found it extremely difficult to withstand the attacks from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect.

This is because the White Wolf King's strength is significantly different from that of the Primordial Water Mother.

Moreover, the cultivators of Jinhua Prefecture, Yunhai Prefecture, and Mengyuan Prefecture already had deep divisions. Even though they were forced to unite now, they still maintained a strong sense of distrust towards each other.

Fortunately, the cultivators from all three states, when united, formed an extremely powerful force capable of withstanding the attack from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect. (End of Chapter)
