Chapter 411 Returning to the Yin Hua Sect

"Qingyunzi's cultivation is about to break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!"

Master Tianyun and the others exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that Hongying Yuanjun would release such explosive news again.

Qingyunzi is the sect leader of Yunhai Sect in Yunhai Prefecture, and also the most powerful human cultivator in both Yunhai Prefecture and Mengyuan Prefecture.

It is extremely difficult for Nascent Soul cultivators to break through to the next realm. Even though Qingyunzi was the strongest, Tianyun Shangren and the others did not expect that Qingyunzi could break through at this time.

"Both the Yunhai Sect and the Wanlei Sect originated from the Shenxiao Sect in the Central Divine Continent. Qingyunzi has now established some connections with the Shenxiao Sect. In addition, the demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture are very powerful. So the Shenxiao Sect traded a Leiyuan Pill to Qingyunzi to help him break through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm!" Hongying Yuanjun explained.

Both Lei Yuan Dan and Tian Yang Shen Dan are pills that help Nascent Soul cultivators break through to the next realm. However, Lei Yuan Dan is a pill that helps Nascent Soul cultivators in the late stage break through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm. It is also a top-grade fourth-rank pill, and its value is much higher than that of Tian Yang Shen Dan.

"The Ten Thousand Thunder Sect and the Cloud Sea Sect actually originated from the Divine Firmament Sect. This is truly remarkable!" the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder exclaimed in amazement.

The Divine Firmament Sect is a first-class sect in the Central Divine Continent, second only to super powers like the Profound Dust Sect, which created the Demon Hunting Ranking.

Although these Nascent Soul cultivators are called patriarchs and ancestors in their respective sects, they are nothing in a sect like the Divine Firmament Sect. After all, there are three realms above Nascent Soul: Void Refinement, Dao Integration, and Tribulation Transcending!

"So you don't need to worry about the Yuan Shui Demon Sect's retaliation. Even if Xuehe's cultivation successfully breaks through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, the strength of the demonic cultivators in Qian Yuan Prefecture still cannot crush us, and Xuehe may not even be able to break through successfully!" Hong Ying Yuanjun said with a smile.

Although demonic cultivators cultivate faster, they also face greater difficulties in breaking through realms, and their mortality rate is much higher than that of normal cultivators.

If Blood River fails to break through, then Qian Yuan Prefecture will lose another cultivator at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

If Qingyunzi can successfully break through, their strength will surpass that of the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture, and they may even be able to launch a counterattack against the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture.

"If what Sect Master Yun said is true, then Qian Yuan Prefecture can indeed be relieved of its worries for the time being!"

Master Tianyun smiled slightly and asked, "Sect Master Yun, do you know when the Demon Hunting Ranking will be fully unveiled?"

The moment Tianyun Shangren's voice fell, the gazes of Wanshi Laoren and the others instantly fell on Hongying Yuanjun.

They also knew about the Demon Hunter Ranking, and if they accumulated enough Demon Hunter Points, they could exchange them for the treasures they needed.

Fifth-tier pills like the Heavenly Yang Divine Pill might not mean much to a power like the Divine Firmament Sect, but they are priceless treasures to them.

If the Demon Hunter Ranking is truly released, the strength of these people will definitely increase significantly.

"The Demon Hunter Ranking!"

Lu Cheng'an's heart stirred slightly, and his gaze instantly fell upon Bi Luo Yuanjun.

This was something Yin Hua Sect had never mentioned to him, but just from the name, one could tell that it was a treasure designed for demonic cultivators.

The fact that Biluo Yuanjun and other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect are so eager to kill Nascent Soul demon cultivators must be related to the Demon Hunting Ranking.

Lu Cheng'an did not conceal his vision, so he was quickly noticed by Biluo Yuanjun.

Biluo Yuanjun and Lu Cheng'an exchanged a glance, and Biluo Yuanjun gave Lu Cheng'an a slightly apologetic smile, but did not say anything more.

Lu Cheng'an did not ask any questions at this time, but continued to listen to Hongying Yuanjun recount the news about the Demon Hunter Ranking.

"According to Fellow Daoist Zixiao, the Demon Hunter Ranking will be released in at most two months. The demonic cultivators we killed in Black Crow Mountain will definitely be included in the Demon Hunter Ranking. You don't need to worry about that. At that time, you can use Demon Hunter Points to obtain the treasures you want!"

Hongying Yuanjun smiled faintly and said, "Although the Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators such as Jingshui Huanmo are extremely important to the Yuanshui Demon Sect, they are not as good as Xuehe, who is about to break through to the Perfect Realm. Now, the Yuanshui Old Mother is focusing her main energy on Xuehe's breakthrough. Before Xuehe's breakthrough is completed, Qianyuan Prefecture will not send any more of its cultivators away."

"Fellow Daoists, you may now discuss who will remain to guard Blackrock City. The rest of you may leave Blackrock City for the time being!"

Old Mother Yuanshui was also worried that the cultivators from the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture would hinder Blood River's breakthrough, so she would not easily leave Yuanshui Demon Sect at this time.

If the Yuan Shui Demon Sect is well-informed, they might be able to find out that Qing Yunzi is preparing to break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if they knew this news, it was of no use, as Qingyunzi did not choose to break through in Yunhai Prefecture.

Master Tianyun and the others had already learned the information they wanted from Lady Hongying, so they did not ask any further questions.

"Sect Master Yue, this fellow Daoist looks quite unfamiliar. Won't you introduce him to us?" the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder asked with a smile, his gaze falling on Lu Cheng'an.

The fact that Yin Hua Sect killed four demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage is highly unusual.

They were quite familiar with the strength of Master Tianyun and others from the Yin Hua Sect. Relying on their own strength, it was impossible for them to kill so many Nascent Soul demon cultivators.

The Yin Hua Sect now has an unfamiliar early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. The fact that the Yin Hua Sect was able to kill four Nascent Soul level demonic cultivators must be closely related to this unfamiliar early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

After the old man of ten thousand corpses finished speaking, the eyes of the cultivators from the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect and the Desire Spirit Sect all fell on Lu Cheng'an, including the Red Cherry Yuanjun.

They were very curious about Lu Cheng'an, this unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, they were dealing with other matters after returning to their sect, and Lu Cheng'an had not left the Yin Hua Sect's headquarters, so they never had the opportunity to inquire about Lu Cheng'an's background.

"This is Lu Cheng'an, a guest elder of our Yin Hua Sect. He is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and practices a divine ability involving the power of time, the Tranquil Ancient Seal. This time, we were able to kill four demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm, all thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu's assistance!" Tianyun Shangren introduced.

Master Tianyun made no attempt to conceal the fact that Lu Cheng'an had made a move at Black Crow Mountain, which was something that could not be hidden.

"Lu Cheng'an greets fellow cultivators!" Lu Cheng'an stood up from his seat with a smile and greeted the cultivators around him.

"Old Ghost Tianyun is really lucky to have recruited such a powerful being as Fellow Daoist Lu!"

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses looked at Lu Cheng'an with a smile and said with a laugh, "Fellow Daoist Lu, why don't you come to my Ten Thousand Corpses Sect? I can double the conditions offered by Old Ghost Tianyun to recruit you!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Gu, but I am already a guest elder of the Yin Hua Sect!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He wasn't very interested in the conditions offered by the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses.

Even if the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses offered better terms, he would not leave the Yin Hua Sect, since only the Yin Hua Sect had a passage connecting to the Netherworld.

"You old devil Wan, do you think I don't exist? You dare to poach my men right in front of me!" Master Tianyun sneered.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren had been fighting for a while, but they suppressed their previous conflicts because of the demonic cultivators. Now, although neither side will fight, they are still trying to annoy the other in various ways.

Although Hongying Yuanjun and the others were somewhat curious about Lu Cheng'an's identity, they did not ask him any further questions.

Not long after, Master Tianyun led Lu Cheng'an and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yin Hua Sect back to the Yin Hua Sect's headquarters to discuss returning to the sect.

“There shouldn’t be any more battles, so Nephew Li Yuan, you should stay in Black Rock City to guard it this time!” said Master Tianyun.

Black Rock City was built on the border between Mengyuan Prefecture and Jinhua Prefecture, and served as the gateway to Mengyuan Prefecture.

If Jinhua Prefecture were to invade Black Rock City, it would inevitably have to bypass Black Rock City.

Even if the demonic cultivators of Jinhua Prefecture do not launch an attack on Mengyuan Prefecture, the three sects of Yinhua Sect must leave a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage to guard Black Rock City.

"I will obey the sect leader's decree!" Li Yuan said respectfully.

After Master Tianyun finished arranging the affairs of Yin Hua Sect, Lu Cheng'an asked, "May I ask what kind of treasure the Demon Hunting Ranking is? Also, when will you deliver the fifth-grade low-level fire-attribute demonic bird essence blood that you promised me?"

Hongying Yuanjun mentioned some information about the Demon Hunter Ranking, but did not provide details.

This is because Master Tianyun and the others already knew about the Demon Hunter Ranking, but what Hongying Yuanjun didn't tell them was exactly what Lu Cheng'an desperately wanted to know.

Lu Cheng'an also desperately wanted to obtain the essence blood of a fifth-tier low-grade fire-attribute demonic bird, as he wanted to cultivate the Fire Sea Sparrow Divine Ability as soon as possible.

His strength is comparable to that of cultivators at the same level, but his attack methods are somewhat limited.

The Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal are not particularly powerful in terms of destructive force. The Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Seal, which he has successfully cultivated, is also extremely powerful, but it is the only divine power he has cultivated so far, making it too easy for him to be targeted.

"The Demon Hunting Ranking is a magic treasure jointly created by the four super powers of the Central Divine Continent: the Xuan Chen Sect, the Li Clan, the Wanfa Sect, and the Feixian Sect. As for the blood essence of a fifth-grade low-level fire-attribute demonic bird, Fellow Daoist Lu, there's no need to worry. I've already communicated with the Yangyan Dragon Sparrow, and I will definitely deliver the blood essence to Fellow Daoist Lu within a month."

Master Tianyun was not angry; in a way, they had tricked Lu Cheng'an this time.

If it weren't for Lu Cheng'an's help, their Yin Hua Sect wouldn't have been able to kill so many Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators.

"Thank you for your trouble, Sect Master!"

After inquiring about these two matters, Lu Cheng'an returned to his cave with Biluo Yuanjun and the others.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yin Hua Sect, including Master Tianyun, still had some matters to attend to and would need a few more days before they could return to the Yin Hua Sect.

Jinhua Prefecture, Yuanshui Demon Sect.

When Yuan Shui Lao Mu learned that Jing Shui Huan Mo and the others had all perished in Meng Yuan Zhou, she was naturally furious.

But just as Hongying Yuanjun said, she no longer dared to send her cultivators to Mengyuan Prefecture.

She already knew that the news of Xuehe's imminent breakthrough to the perfect Nascent Soul realm had been leaked, and that cultivators from Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture were still trying to obstruct Xuehe's breakthrough.

At this point, she could no longer afford to scatter her cultivators; otherwise, if Blood River failed to break through, the losses to Jinhua Prefecture would be even greater.

With the Old Mother of Yuanshui making such a decision, the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture will definitely remain calm for a while until Xuehe's cultivation successfully breaks through.

Black Rock City.

Master Tianyun and the other Yin Hua Sect cultivators stayed for another five days. After they had finished dealing with all their affairs, Master Tianyun left Black Rock City with Biluo Yuanjun and the other Yin Hua Sect cultivators.

This time, instead of using the teleportation array, they boarded a top-grade fourth-tier flying treasure ship belonging to the Yin Hua Sect.

This is because among the cultivators returning from Blackrock City, there were not only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage like Biluo Yuanjun, but also cultivators at the Core Formation, Golden Core, and Foundation Establishment stages.

If everyone were to use the teleportation array, it would result in a huge consumption of energy.

The flying treasure ship is much slower than the teleportation array, but it consumes far less energy.

After boarding the flying treasure ship of the Yin Hua Sect, Lu Cheng'an entered the cave dwelling arranged for him by the Yin Hua Sect.

He had asked Biluo Yuanjun, and she said that even at full speed, the flying treasure ship would take six days to return to Yinhua Sect.

He planned to spend the next six days studying the divine ability of the Fire Sea Sparrow.

Master Tianyun has given him a positive answer; they will be able to deliver the essence blood of the Yangyan Dragon Sparrow to him within half a month of returning to the Yinhua Sect.

Six days passed in the blink of an eye. After the flying ship arrived at Yin Hua Sect, Master Tianyun did not discuss anything further with the Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect. He told Lu Cheng'an and the others to go back to their respective places.

"With my current level of cultivation, I wonder how long it will take to perfect the Fire Sea Sparrow technique?"

"The outside environment is much harsher than I imagined. I was originally thinking of moving the sect to the cultivation world outside, but now it seems that the cultivation world outside is even more dangerous!"

"I don't know enough about the cultivation world outside yet. Next, I need to collect some materials to build a teleportation array."

Lu Cheng'an considered his options. He had many things to do, the most important of which was to find materials to build the teleportation array.

The Lu family has collected classic texts on building fifth-order teleportation arrays, giving Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun a great chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Once their cultivation levels are successfully broken through, given their talent in array formations, there is a high probability that they will be able to construct a fifth-order teleportation array.

He now possesses the passage from the Netherworld to the outside world of cultivation, but this is not secure.

Leaving aside the fact that the Netherworld is unsuitable for cultivators from the mortal realm, the fact that the passage connecting to the outside cultivation world is controlled by the Yin Hua Sect is simply a highly unreliable matter.

If this passage is controlled by the Yin Hua Sect, then all of his secrets could potentially be discovered by the Yin Hua Sect.

"The spatial turbulence at a height of 100,000 feet above the border of Jinhua Prefecture and Yunhai Prefecture... I'll try my luck there once I've successfully cultivated the 'Fire Sea Nurturing Flame Sparrow' divine ability!"

After thinking it over carefully, Lu Cheng'an focused all his attention on the divine power of the Flaming Sparrow in the Sea of ​​Fire.
