Chapter 289: Thirty Years of Cultivation

Heisha and his son knew that the situation in the ancient Huangzong was not good. As a cultivator in the ancient Huangzong, Lu Chengan must have been affected.

Especially after so many years, Lu Chengan had never entered the Nether River again.

Now there were less than two years left before their sixty-year appointment, and Heisha and his son were extremely worried whether Lu Chengan could go to the Nether River as promised.

After seeing the content of the message from Heisha and his son, Lu Chengan immediately passed the message to them, telling them that they would arrive at the Nether River as promised.

Although Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu had used the Yinming Soul-breaking Needle to severely damage the Nascent Soul of Tianhuang Zhenjun, the crisis of the Lu family was not resolved.

Tianhuang Zhenjun's Nascent Soul was severely damaged, but it would recover sooner or later.

When he attacks the Lu family next time, he will definitely be careful.

By then, if the Lu family still has no Nascent Soul cultivators to help, there is only one possibility of destruction.

Therefore, Lu Chengan values ​​the Yinyue Soul Ganoderma that will be born in the Netherworld River Region more than Heisha and his son.

If he successfully obtains the Yinyue Soul Ganoderma, he will have a better chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"After more than 30 years of hard practice, my cultivation has now reached the peak of the Golden Core Perfection Realm. If I can successfully obtain the Yinyue Soul Ganoderma from the Netherworld River Region, I can directly return here to retreat and break through the Nascent Soul Realm!"

A solemn look appeared on Lu Chengan's face. Even if his journey in the Netherworld River Region was not smooth, he would still have to take the risk of breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm when he returned from the Netherworld River Region.

His physical body, mana, and soul have now reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm. Even without the help of the Nascent Soul Spirit Object, he has a certain chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

More importantly, after more than 30 years, the power of the Fire Yuan Secret Realm has been completely exhausted and collapsed five years ago.

The spirit veins and fire veins of Wuling Lake absorbed so much power from the Fire Yuan Secret Realm that they successfully bred a fourth-level spirit vein and fire vein one year after the collapse of the Fire Yuan Secret Realm.

After the fourth-level spirit veins and fire veins were bred, several extremely precious fourth-level treasures were also bred in them.

Moreover, these fourth-level treasures are also very useful to Lu Chengan, which can assist him in practicing the fourth-level magical powers and refining the fourth-level life magic weapon.

After the fourth-level spirit veins and fire veins were bred, the power of the spirit energy, fire energy, fire evil and fire poison of Wuling Lake became more and more intense, and it was still spreading outward.

Lu Chengan didn't know to what extent this spread would increase, so he sent a message to Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping to come to Wuling Lake.

He needed to use the power of these two people to seal the power of the fourth-level spirit veins and fire veins of Wuling Lake, so as not to attract the attention of the outside world.

In recent years, Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping have also been practicing with great concentration, and their cultivation has also improved a lot.

Especially Lu Jingkun, who was promoted to the late Jindan stage before Lu Chengping.

Lu Jingkun's cultivation talent is top-notch. If Lu Chengan didn't have the help of the plug-in, his cultivation talent would still be a certain distance away from Lu Jingkun.

Lu Chengping's talent is also not ordinary. Although his current cultivation is still in the middle Jindan stage, he is not far from breaking through to the late Jindan stage.

In addition to Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping, the cultivation of Lu Wenxing and others in the Lu family has also improved significantly, among which Lu Wenxing's cultivation has even broken through to the middle Jindan stage.

The Lu family also added two Jindan realm cultivators. One of these two Jindan cultivators is Lu Jingkun's Taoist partner Jiang Hongmian, and the other is Lu Chengbai, a native cultivator of the Lu family.

Lu Chengbai is one of the first batch of new cultivators cultivated by the Lu family after moving to the vicinity of the Fenyan Mountains.

Lu Chengbai's cultivation talent is not top-notch. At first, Lu Wenxing and other senior cultivators of the Lu family only thought that Lu Chengbai had the talent to cultivate to the foundation-building stage.

However, after Lu Chengbai broke through to the foundation-building realm, his performance became more and more stable.

Although his progress in cultivation was relatively slow, he was steady and did not encounter too many difficulties.

Even the breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm was the same. He prepared for a long time and finally broke through to the Golden Core Realm with the power of the Golden Core exchanged from the clan.

Lu Chengbai's talent in cultivation was relatively ordinary, but his talent in alchemy was relatively excellent.

He initially followed the alchemist Lu Wenmei of the Lu family to learn alchemy.

Lu Wenmei was an old man of the Lu family. She was the only first-class alchemist in the most difficult period of the Lu family.

However, her subsequent performance was very mediocre. Although she broke through to the foundation-building realm, she ultimately failed to cross the Golden Core Realm.

The lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator is limited, just over 200 years old.

Lu Wenmei had suffered some serious injuries in her early years. Although she had been carefully treated later, it still had some impact on her lifespan.

In the third year after she turned 200, she passed away in the cave of Taiyang Peak.

This is the second old man in the Lu family who passed away!

The Lu family held a very grand funeral for Lu Wenmei, and Lu Wenxing also passed a message to Lu Chengan.

In the early years, Lu Wenmei was also very caring for Lu Chengan. When such a rare old man in the Lu family passed away, Lu Chengan would naturally not even miss the funeral.

However, Lu Chengan did not stay in the Lu family for too long. After attending Lu Wenmei's funeral, he continued to return to Wuling Lake to practice in seclusion.

After all, his progress in cultivation is related to the survival of the Lu family, Danding Sect and Jinyuan Sect. If he cannot break through to the Nascent Soul Realm before Tianhuang Zhenjun recovers, then all of them will die tragically at the hands of Tianhuang Zhenjun.

The first old man to pass away in the Lu family was Lu Wensheng, who was the oldest cultivator in the Lu family, but he had been dead for more than a hundred years.

Unlike Lu Wenmei, who never married and had children in her life, Lu Wensheng still had two extremely outstanding descendants.

The two descendants of Lu Wensheng are the twin brother and sister Lu Jinglin and Lu Jingxiu, who are slightly younger than Lu Chengbai, but have better cultivation talent than Lu Chengbai.

However, the path of this brother and sister is not smooth, especially when Tianhuang Zhenjun attacked the Lu family, the brother and sister suffered extremely serious injuries, which greatly delayed their breakthrough to the Jindan realm.

Now the brother and sister have reached the perfect foundation-building realm, and they are also confident of breaking through to the Jindan realm.

Jiang Hongmian's situation is quite special, she is Lu Jingkun's Taoist partner.

Her cultivation talent is not even as good as Lu Chengbai, but she has a tenacity that many people do not have.

Lu Jingkun was attracted by this tenacity and became a Taoist partner with Jiang Hongmian. Jiang Hongmian also relied on this tenacity to go from a casual cultivator to the current level.

Lu Jingkun exchanged a Jindan for Jiang Hongmian from the clan early on. After Jiang Hongmian was ready, she used the Jindan that Lu Jingkun exchanged for her to break through the Jindan realm.

Jiang Hongmian did not disappoint Lu Jingkun's expectations and successfully broke through to the Jindan realm with the power of the Jindan.

In addition to the two newly added Jindan cultivators Lu Chengbai and Jiang Hongmian, the Lu family also has a lot of cultivators in the Qi Refining and Jindan realms.

There are also many talented cultivators among these newly added cultivators, such as Lu Yongzheng and Lu Yongyuan.

The cultivation methods of these two people are the same as Lu Chengan's Earth Flame Sutra, and the speed of their cultivation progress is relatively fast.

However, these two people are still relatively young, and they are still in the Qi Refining realm.

On the other hand, Lu Ruiying and Lu Yongming have been practicing for decades. Now they have broken through to the foundation-building stage, and it is certain that they will break through to the golden elixir stage in the future.

Lu Yongming practiced the Earth Flame Sutra, and he practiced the weapon method.

His talent in weapon refining is also quite good, only slightly worse than Lu Chengan.

Lu Ruiying practiced the Earth Book Jade Book. She did not practice the way of spiritual array like Lu Jingkun, but turned to practice spiritual plants.

Lu Ruiying is naturally sensitive and close to various spiritual plants. The Earth Book Jade Book also has a unique advantage in cultivating spiritual plants.

The Lu family also has a spiritual plant master inheritance. If Lu Ruiying concentrates on practicing this way, she will definitely become a third-level or even fourth-level spiritual plant master in the future.

The Lu family has continued to develop rapidly in recent years, but the strength of the Jinyuan Sect and the Danding Sect has declined instead of improving.

This is mainly because they are trapped in the mountain gate of the Lu family. It is relatively difficult to obtain cultivation resources, and they cannot recruit new cultivators into the sect.

Although the cultivators of the two sects feel extremely anxious, they have no way to do anything.

Now the evil cultivators such as Tian Huang Zhenjun still stay in the Yunling Mountains and have not left. Even though those evil cultivators have not attacked them again in recent years, they dare not leave the sphere of influence of the Lu family.

Because they know very well in their hearts that the reason why those evil cultivators dare not attack them is because they are afraid of the power of the Lu family.

If they leave the sphere of influence of the Lu family, those evil cultivators will definitely not sit and wait for death.

The Huanggu Sect has been in a closed state for these years and has not managed the evil cultivators in the territory too much.

The injuries of the two Yuanying cultivators, Qiong Miao Zhenjun and Sui Gu Zhenjun, have recovered, but they are still incomparable with the Shengxin Sect.

These Shengxin Sect did not attack the Huanggu Sect, but launched a fierce attack on other Yuanying forces in Qingzhou and Hezhou.

Many cultivators from the Shengxin Sect and the two Yuanying Sects were injured. It is unknown how many cultivators in the Qi Refining, Foundation Building and Golden Core realms died in the battle, and even cultivators in the Yuanying realm almost died.

In recent years, these Yuanying sects seem to be a little tired of fighting, and the number of battles is gradually decreasing. The Yuanying cultivators have not taken action much.

But this does not mean that the Shengxin Sect has given up its original plan, but is waiting for an opportunity.

This opportunity is naturally the Butterfly Transformation Demon King in the Hong'e Mountains.

The news that the Butterfly Transformation Demon King is about to return has been circulating for decades, but until now the Butterfly Transformation Demon King has not returned to the Hong'e Mountains.

However, for a fourth-level perfect demon king with a long life span like the Butterfly Transformation Demon King, decades of time is indeed a blink of an eye.

Now the Shengxin Sect has received accurate news that the Butterfly Transformation Demon King may return to the Hong'e Mountains within the next ten years.

Therefore, the Holy Heart Sect slowed down its attack on the Yuanying forces in Qingzhou and Hezhou. They planned to wait until the Butterfly Demon King returned, and then unite with the monsters in the Hong'e Mountains to destroy all the Yuanying forces in Qingzhou and Hezhou in one fell swoop.

This news came from Lu Chengyue!

Lu Chengyue's current cultivation has broken through to the Jindan realm. In addition, she was taught by the Yuanying cultivator of the Ancient Sect, True Lord Ku Shi, so she knew more about this news than other cultivators.

Now Lu Chengyue is not only worried about the Lu family, she is also worried about the future of the Ancient Sect.

The Ancient Sect, a Yuanying sect, ranks last among the Yuanying forces in Qingzhou and Hezhou.

Once the Butterfly Demon King returns to the Hong'e Mountains, the Holy Heart Sect will unite with the monsters in the Hong'e Mountains to launch an attack, and the Ancient Sect will be in danger of being destroyed.

The Lu family also feels worried about these things, but they are not particularly worried.

The monsters of the Holy Heart Sect and the Hong'e Mountains are naturally targeting Yuanying Sects such as the Ancient Sect, and they may not take the small Jindan forces of the Lu family seriously.

What the Lu family has to face now is Tianhuang Zhenjun, a cultivator in the early Yuanying stage.

After Lu Cheng'an sat in the cave and thought for a while, he passed a message to Shi Ningyu, briefly telling her about his trip to the Netherworld River Region.

Shi Ningyu knew that Lu Cheng'an's trip to the Netherworld River Region must be extremely dangerous. Not to mention what he would encounter in competing with the Netherworld ghosts in the Netherworld River Region for the Yinyue Soul Ganoderma, just crossing the Yunling Mountains was not an easy task.

Now the evil cultivators such as Tianhuang Zhenjun have already hidden in the Yunling Mountains, and Lu Cheng'an and Tianhuang Zhenjun have a deep hatred.

If Tianhuang Zhenjun finds Lu Cheng'an's trace in the Yunling Mountains, he will definitely kill Lu Cheng'an himself.

Although Shi Ningyu knew that Lu Chengan's trip was extremely dangerous, she did not persuade Lu Chengan not to go to the Nether River Region.

Because this trip was related to Lu Chengan's chance to break through the Nascent Soul Realm, even if he had to encounter greater danger, Lu Chengan had to try it.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, Shi Ningyu was the only one who knew that Lu Chengan left the underground magma river and went to the Nether River Region.

In recent years, Lu Chengan has been practicing in the underground magma river and rarely returned to the Lu family.

He is now heading to the Nether River Region, and the cultivators in the Lu family's mountain gate did not notice anything unusual.

If Lu Chengan wants to go to the Nether River Region, he must pass through the Yunling Mountains. This is the only way.

The Yunling Mountains and the Lu family's mountain gate are tens of thousands of miles apart, which is not far for Lu Chengan.

After he left the Fenyan Mountains, he used the Star Flame Hidden Escape Technique to hurry on his way.

This magical power also has the function of hiding his whereabouts, so he galloped all the way without revealing his whereabouts.

"These evil monks are really hateful!"

Lu Cheng'an's body was hidden in a cloud of mist. He looked at the desolate and decaying scene below, and a strong murderous intent emerged in his eyes.

The place below was originally the place where the gate of the Divine Sword Sect was located. It was originally a very prosperous area, but now it is a desolate scene.

Not only are there no human monks, but there is not even a single plant or tree. There is only a layer of yellow soil without a trace of life.

Lu Cheng'an is very familiar with this kind of scene. These are all caused by the black-striped sky locusts. (End of this chapter)
