Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 337 Fire Spirit Feeding
In the capital city of Tianyuan, a celestial fire set the sky ablaze, attracting the attention of countless people.

Inside the Seventh Princess's residence, looking up at the sky, Chen Jingshu's inspiration spread. At that moment, through the strange phenomenon of heavenly fire burning clouds, she saw a secret realm that was about to collapse.

"The ancient volcano is about to erupt. This is its last eruption. After this, this volcanic wonderland will collapse."

Through communion with heaven and earth, Chen Jingshu gained a profound understanding.

"With this ancient volcanic eruption, the probability of fire being born in Lingzhen Mountain is extremely high. However, it is not easy to obtain it. Besides me, there are many other people who want this Lingzhen, especially my brothers and sisters."

Turning her gaze away, Chen Jingshu's mind raced with various calculations.

The core inheritance of the Chen family, the Fire Essence Nourishing Spirit True Scripture, comes from this Mountain Fire Secret Realm. This inheritance is very mysterious, containing the Dao of the Purple Mansion, and is a true Purple Mansion Secret Scripture. The entire secret realm is suspected to be the legacy of an ancient cultivator. The spiritual treasure produced here, Mountain Fire, is very compatible with the Fire Essence Nourishing Spirit True Scripture. Using this spiritual treasure to condense the Dao foundation will increase the foundation for nothing.

"During my previous trip to the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm, I was seriously injured. Although my condition has improved considerably after several years of recuperation, there are still hidden dangers."

As she opened her palm and looked at her skin, which faintly shimmered with a jade-like glow, a dark light flashed in Chen Jingshu's eyes.

The power of heaven and earth is not so easy to withstand. Previously, the demonic ape dominated her body and mobilized a large amount of the power of heaven and earth, which caused her to suffer a backlash.

"It's not easy to resolve the backlash from the power of heaven and earth. However, the Fire Essence Nourishing Yuan True Scripture is of extraordinary nature and is suspected to be a branch of a Daoist scripture. If I can obtain the mountain fire and use it to forge a superior Dao foundation, I will have the opportunity to use the wonders of the Dao foundation to resolve this backlash from heaven and earth."

"However, given my current state, even with the help of Abbess Jueqing, it won't be easy for me to seize the Mountain Fire from others. After all, I'm not the only cultivator with a Dao Foundation behind me. Compared to the two at the front, the support behind me is actually the weakest."

With these thoughts colliding, Chen Jingshu calculated her chances of obtaining the Mountain Fire.

"The strange phenomenon has just appeared. It will be some time before the mountain fire secret realm truly collapses. Perhaps I should make a trip to Qingyuan County."

"With the help of the Taiping Sect, my chances of obtaining the Mountain Fire will be even greater."

Turning her gaze southward, Chen Jingshu had a plan in mind.

A large part of the reason she initially courted the Taiping Sect and Jiang Chen was to seize the Mountain Fire. As long as she obtained the Mountain Fire and used it to forge a Dao Foundation of at least the middle grade, both her future path in the Dao and her power in the Southern Jing Kingdom would be guaranteed. After all, the most important thing in this world is still power, and so-called power is just a derivative of power.

While Chen Jingshu was scheming for herself, the rest of the Chen family also got moving. With a history of hundreds of years and deep roots, the Chen family currently has quite a few cultivators qualified to compete for the Mountain Fire. Although the chances for most of them are extremely slim, it is a matter of cultivation, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is necessary to fight for it.

Under such circumstances, undercurrents quickly began to stir within the Chen family, and the eldest prince and the third prince attracted the most attention. These two had the strongest backing and their own cultivation talents were also quite good, so they were favored by many people.

Compared to them, Chen Jingshu is still somewhat lacking in the eyes of many people.

Seeing through this chaos, in a secluded golden hut, a figure quietly opened his eyes. He was clad in a fiery robe, his face was extremely old, and his body exuded an aura of decay.

"After so long, the Mountain Fire Secret Realm is finally about to collapse. Gathering the essence of this secret realm, the spiritual treasures born this time are of better quality than those before."

"With a spiritual treasure, a cultivator has a much higher chance of forging a mid-grade Dao foundation. As for a high-grade one, spiritual treasures are one aspect, but more importantly, it depends on individual talent. It's best to have one, but you can't force it if you don't."

"As for who can obtain it, that depends on their own abilities. After all, what I want is a true seed of the Dao Foundation, not a worthless piece of mud that can't be helped." Crimson flames rose in his eyes, and through the golden furnace, the old man saw the interior of the Mountain Fire Secret Realm.

"The Four Symbols return to their origin, and the Fire Essence nourishes the spirit. I don't have much time left. My body is completely decaying, and I must take that step as soon as possible."

"Fortunately, after so many years of planning, Dao Foundation cultivators have been born in the Earth, Wind, and Fire elements. Only the Water element still lacks Dao Foundation cultivators, but that's not a big problem. The only thing that needs to be considered is the selection of the main medicine."

With a soft sigh, as if he had exhausted his strength, the old man withdrew his gaze.

As his eyes closed again, the light inside the golden furnace dimmed, the intense heat was replaced by a chilling cold.

Of course, outsiders don't know much about the Wildfire Secret Realm, and the Chen family deliberately blocked the news, so the turmoil in the Wildfire Secret Realm did not cause much of a stir in the entire Southern Jing Kingdom.

Meanwhile, in a secluded cave, a vast surge of spiritual energy rose up, and an extremely powerful spirituality permeated the air, stirring up the surrounding winds and clouds.

"Today, I have finally established the foundation for the Dao."

Lu Xuanping opened his eyes within a hidden spiritual vein.

Back in Leshan County, he had a fortuitous encounter, which allowed him to escape from the ruins. However, fearing that the Qingmu family would target him, he immediately fled the four southern counties and entered the territory of the Qu family in the west.

The reason he chose this place was that the four western prefectures were the most humid places in the entire Southern Jing Kingdom, which was conducive to his cultivation of the Calamity Water Mystic Scripture. And as it turned out, his choice was not wrong.

After entering the four western prefectures, his luck seemed to improve. He had several fortuitous encounters and successfully raised his cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining. In a later adventure, he even unexpectedly discovered an unclaimed spiritual vein, which made him truly see the possibility of building a foundation for his Dao.

The only strange thing is that in several adventures, all of his teammates except him died, and he was the only one who benefited.

Under these circumstances, he pondered briefly, decided not to take any further risks, and chose to cultivate in seclusion here.

After such a long period of accumulation, he finally used the Spiritual Treasure Flower as his foundation to build his Dao Foundation and entered the Dao Foundation Realm.

"A mid-grade Dao Foundation is indeed stronger than an ordinary Dao Foundation."

Looking at himself, Lu Xuanping saw the image of his Dao Foundation floating and sinking in his Qi Sea, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although he also used the Flower of Calamity to forge his Dao foundation, he was far superior to the former patriarch of the Lu family.

"With the foundation of my Dao established, I can truly say that I have a foothold in the Southern Jing Kingdom. However, although a mid-grade Dao foundation is not bad, it is not my limit."

"Perhaps for ordinary cultivators, once the foundation of their Dao is established, it is difficult to change. But this is not the case for me. The Four Symbols Returning to Origin Secret Manual gives me the possibility to go further."

A thought suddenly occurred to Lu Xuanping, and he turned his gaze to the outside world, as if he had seen something.
