Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

at the same time.

Not far from Lingxiao Mountain where the old patriarch Ling Yunhong was in seclusion.

There is a special spiritual mountain.

The lava inside is extremely powerful, and its aura has reached the quasi-fourth level. Even if a Jindan cultivator touches it casually, he will probably be injured.

But even in such a dangerous place, there are a large number of living creatures.

They look like humans, but their entire bodies are made of lava.

These are the rare volcanic spirits in this world. They are the companions of the spiritual volcano here, and they are of the same lineage as the spiritual volcano here. They prosper and decline together with each other.

In addition, these volcanic spirits can also absorb the lava produced by the spiritual volcano as nourishment to improve their cultivation.

It is for this reason that in the deepest part of this quasi-fourth-level spiritual volcano, there are many golden elixir flame spirits, and even a golden elixir-perfected flame spirit.

But besides this, there is also a female cultivator here.

This person has a particularly delicate face and skin whiter than snow. She is wearing a Ling-style Taoist robe that dances with the turbulence of the surrounding lava. She is not affected by the lava, but instead highlights her plump figure.

The most important thing is that although this person looks young, his cultivation has reached the perfect level of foundation building, and like the spirits of the surrounding volcanoes, he can transform the surrounding lava into his own nourishment.

Moreover, those volcano spirits had no hostility towards her.

And this moment.

This female cultivator also noticed that the old patriarch was trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage in Lingxiao Mountain not far away.

She immediately opened her eyes, flew up, left the lava, stood on the cliff on the side of Linghuo Mountain, and looked out at Lingxiao Mountain, revealing a touch of strangeness.

"Judging from the current state of Grandmaster Guan Yunhong's breakthrough, he should be doing well..."

Then, her spiritual thoughts moved, and countless volcanic spirits in the entire Linghuo Mountain, including those golden elixir spirits, quickly rushed out of the lava and arrived beside her.

"Be alert all around. If there are bad guys who disturb my ancestor Yun Hong from his retreat, I will kill them right away."

The female cultivator's words were full of coldness.

Upon hearing this, the volcano spirits all showed excitement, as if they were expecting bad guys to appear. They were like vicious wolves, ready to pounce and kill at any time, and they looked like they were submitting to the female cultivator who had completed her foundation building.

For a moment, the female cultivator stood among them with a sense of majesty, like an empress, commanding thousands of fire spirits.

"Qing Meng, your group of flame spirits have achieved great cultivation. A few years ago, there seemed to be only a few golden elixir flame spirits here, but in the blink of an eye, there are already seven or eight of them. The speed at which these flame spirits improve their cultivation is quite fast."

At this time, Ling Pengcheng, the family's Nascent Soul who was originally stationed in Lingxiao Mountain, landed next to the female cultivator. He looked at the huge number of fire spirits here, and a hint of surprise appeared on his brows.

"Junior Qingmeng greets Grandmaster Pengcheng."

"As for the fact that these flame spirits can cultivate so quickly, it's mainly because the family spent a lot of resources to upgrade the Fire Spirit Mountain here to the quasi-fourth level, making the lava power contained in the volcano several times stronger."

"Indirectly, the cultivation speed of the flame spirits here will naturally be faster. However, it is a pity that these flame spirits are made or destroyed by Linghuoshan Mountain."

"As those flame spirits were promoted to the Golden Core Realm, the lava power they needed on a daily basis also increased. However, their numbers were also large. Gradually, as there were more Golden Core demon spirits here, the cultivation speed of all the demon spirits also slowed down."

"In fact, it may be difficult for a Golden Core demon spirit to appear in the future. As for the Golden Core Perfection demon spirit, it will also be restricted by the Spiritual Fire Mountain, and it will be difficult for it to impact the Nascent Soul on its own."

Ling Qingmeng said with a hint of helplessness.

She was the cultivator with fire-attributed spiritual roots who appeared in the family decades ago.

In addition, she possesses a special spiritual body, the Flame Fusion Body, which can refine the fire of heaven and earth and turn it into her own, with extremely powerful effects.

It was precisely because of this that she had reached the state of perfect foundation building at the age of only twenty-something.

In fact, if she had not tried to consolidate her foundation and refine a special fire-type golden elixir, she would have entered the golden elixir realm years ago.

Under all circumstances, she is considered the leader of the younger generation even within the Ling family, which is full of talented people.

The family attached great importance to her, and even because of the special nature of her spiritual body, the family had spent a lot of resources over the years to improve the spiritual volcano.

Originally, the grade of this volcano was only at the middle level of the third grade, but now it has directly reached the quasi-fourth grade, improving two small realms.

The power of the lava contained in it has also been greatly enhanced.

This is also one of the reasons why Ling Qingmeng's cultivation has improved so quickly in recent years.

At the same time, as the spiritual volcano here becomes stronger, the lava power it produces can also assist more family weapon refiners and alchemists in refining spiritual objects.

It can also breed stronger demonic spirits to protect the Lingxiao Mountain not far away.

It can be said to be the best of all three.

……

As Ling Qingmeng and Ling Pengcheng chatted.

The old patriarch Ling Yunhong, who was in seclusion in Lingxiao Mountain, a fourth-level spiritual mountain not far away, had also reached the critical moment of breaking through.

As he continued to mobilize his spiritual power to cleanse the golden elixir in his body in a special way, the golden elixir had gradually transformed into a small human figure, who looked as if they were carved from the same mold as him.

"The shape has been formed, and now it's time to inject the spirit into it."

The old patriarch Ling Yunhong felt the condition of the golden elixir in his body and his brows became more solemn. Then, he separated one third of the soul in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The process was extremely painful, just like half of the body was cut off.

Even though the old patriarch Ling Yunhong had experienced the baptism of five or six hundred years, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

But he was relieved, and even though he knew it would hurt, he did not give up on splitting his soul.

By the time this matter was successful, he was covered in cold sweat.

He did not dare to be careless and quickly transferred that one third of his soul into the human-shaped golden elixir.

A strong feeling of rejection followed.

But the old patriarch Ling Yunhong has been practicing secret techniques diligently over the years and has already condensed his spiritual awareness to an extremely strong level.

In addition, the several Nascent Soul spiritual items that were taken previously had amplified the power.

His spiritual awareness is enough to rival that of a mid-Nascent Soul stage expert.

As his mind moved, a huge amount of spiritual consciousness suddenly poured out, directly suppressing the golden elixir and one third of the soul, making it unable to move.

During the time they were merging together, no unusual movements occurred.

Soon, the two objects merged smoothly.

There was a hint of spirituality in the eyes of the human-shaped golden elixir.

At this time, this human-shaped golden elixir can also be called a false infant. After it has experienced the baptism of thunder, it will turn into a real Yuanying.

The Nascent Soul is also the second life of a cultivator.

Even if a cultivator's body is destroyed, as long as his Nascent Soul is not destroyed, he can refine a new body.

In fact, this Nascent Soul possesses considerable strength.

"The Nascent Soul was condensed on the fifth day of the spiritual energy tide. This speed is quite good."

The pale-faced old patriarch Ling Yunhong felt the fake baby in his body and felt extremely satisfied.

Then, he used the great power of heaven and earth that could be mobilized by cultivators when they were trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage to refine this false infant.

As time went by, the foundation of this fake baby became stronger and stronger. In the blink of an eye.

The twelfth day of spiritual energy tide ended.

An extremely large thundercloud gradually appeared in the sky above Lingxiao Mountain, as if covering the entire sky.

It was filled with terrifying black thunder.

The thunderclouds had been brewing for a long time, and then a huge thunder roared.

A huge bolt of lightning split the dark clouds and fell from the sky, its power almost matching the full-strength attack of a cultivator who had reached the Golden Core stage.

But before the thunder could hit the old patriarch Ling Yunhong, it was blocked by a powerful fourth-order intermediate-grade mountain protection formation on Lingxiao Mountain.

Although the subsequent thunders became stronger and stronger, they were still blocked by the powerful formation.

With this matter over.

The thundercloud in the sky also transformed its remaining energy into nectar, spreading across the earth.

However, it was as if a huge invisible hand appeared in this world, directly gathering all the nectar into a cave in Lingxiao Mountain.

Finally, it merged into the body of the old patriarch Ling Yunhong.

As a sound of breaking sounded, the fake baby in the body of the old patriarch Ling Yunhong seemed to have been baptized, sublimated, and reached an extremely high level...

An extremely powerful aura suddenly emanated from the body of the old patriarch Ling Yunhong.

“Is this the Nascent Soul stage?”

The old clan leader Ling Yunhong slowly opened his eyes, feeling the powerful Nascent Soul in his body, and a few ripples appeared on his weather-beaten face.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Thinking back to the hundreds of years of practicing Taoism.

During his Qi training period, he had the support of his family and only needed to practice hard without having to worry about anything else. It was also the most relaxing period of his early years.

But as his cultivation became higher and higher, he reached the state of perfect Qi training, and then he began to plan with his family to build the foundation. The process was extremely thrilling and he went through many great disasters before he succeeded.

He also became the only foundation-building person in the family at that time, and had a lot of additional burdens on his shoulders.

Moreover, because he had entered the foundation-building stage, many forces surrounding the family had become resistant to the family, and some even took action in secret to prevent the family from continuing to grow and threatening them.

He didn't dare to slack off at all. Every time the family made a plan, he would proceed step by step carefully. If he made a mistake, not only he but the entire family would be destroyed.

That was also the time when he was most tired. He spent the whole day thinking about how the family could stand firm among the surrounding big families and accumulate foundation...

Fortunately, not long after, the younger generation of the family, Ling Pengyun and others, grew up and took away a lot of the pressure...

Today, the entire family is extremely powerful, and he doesn't have to worry about anything. He is very free and even came to Lingxiao Mountain to indulge in Taoism and alchemy.

"These hundreds of years have been full of ups and downs."

"But fortunately, Pengyun and others helped."

“Otherwise… I might only be able to build my foundation in this life, and my family today might still be surviving in the cracks…”

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, the old patriarch Ling Yunhong also understood a truth more clearly.

"It is difficult to seek the truth alone, but if we work together, it will be easier. This may be the basis of the family's existence."

The figures of Ling Pengyun and other older generation clansmen kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel at ease.

"In the next few hundred years, it will be my blessing to be able to walk the path with these people."

He slowly stood up and ended his retreat.

……

Ling Qingmeng, Ling Pengcheng and other Ling family cultivators who were watching the old patriarch Ling Yunhong's breakthrough around Lingxiao Mountain were overjoyed when they saw the calamity clouds in the sky slowly dissipating on their own.

"If the old patriarch succeeds, our family will have one more Nascent Soul True Lord, and our family will become even stronger. We can even say that our family has pulled the rest of the Nascent Soul forces further away from the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World... God bless our family, hahahahahaha!!!"

"..."

Ling Qingmeng and Ling Pengcheng, who were on the quasi-fourth-level spiritual mountain, had a close relationship with the old clan leader Ling Yunhong, so they immediately stepped into the fourth-level spiritual mountain Lingxiao Mountain with joy and went to congratulate the old clan leader Ling Yunhong who had just come out of seclusion.

"Congratulations to Grandpa Yun Hong for entering the Nascent Soul stage and enjoying a thousand years of life..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Ling Pengcheng, who was also a Nascent Soul expert, discovered that there was something wrong with the aura of the old patriarch Ling Yunhong.

Although the old patriarch Ling Yunhong has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, his aura is extremely stable. He is not at all like the ordinary cultivators who have entered the Nascent Soul stage, and it is as if he has been practicing hard for more than ten years.

Ling Pengcheng couldn't help but think that the calamity cloud that the old patriarch had caused before seemed to be much larger than the ordinary Nascent Soul calamity cloud.

"Grandpa Yun Hong, could it be that the Nascent Soul you condensed is of extraordinary quality?"

Ling Qingmeng, who was endowed with natural spiritual roots, heard this and his eyes lit up. He immediately looked at the old patriarch Ling Yunhong with curiosity.

"Ancestor, is this true?"

The old patriarch Ling Yunhong said with a bit of relief and regret.

"That's true. By chance, I managed to condense a superior Nascent Soul. It's a pity that I'm still a little short of condensing a special Nascent Soul."

Ling Pengcheng and Ling Qingmeng were suddenly shocked.

A superior Nascent Soul is extremely difficult to condense. At least 99% of Nascent Souls in the world find it difficult to reach this stage.

Moreover, the foundation of the superior Nascent Soul is particularly profound. Once one condenses this Nascent Soul, the future path will be particularly smooth.

There is even a high probability of entering the late Nascent Soul stage, and even a small probability of entering the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

Even those who are at the late Nascent Soul stage are rare figures in this world. There are only a handful of them in the entire Northern Wilderness cultivation world.

Only the major divine transformation forces are more numerous.

"Grandmaster, you are so amazing. When you become rich in the future, please remember to take good care of me, your junior..."

Ling Qingmeng's temperament was still a little lively, and she immediately said to the old patriarch Ling Yunhong with a smile.

Ling Pengcheng, who was also in the Nascent Soul stage, had a little more admiration.

In his early years, although he possessed a spiritual body and even had the help of many Nascent Soul spiritual objects, what he condensed was still just an ordinary Nascent Soul.

He knew very well how difficult it was to condense a superior Nascent Soul.

"I know that you have extraordinary talent, Grandpa. I estimate that with your talent, it won't take long for you to reach a higher level..."

Ling Pengcheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the old clan leader Ling Yunhong couldn't help but look a little happier, but he couldn't help but feel more grateful to Ling Pengyun in his heart.

If it weren't for the primordial essence that Ling Pengyun gave him in his early years, he would never have achieved what he has today.

Of course, his own qualifications and hard work are also major factors.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and the old patriarch Ling Yunhong said goodbye to everyone and returned to the cave again.

He sat cross-legged on a cushion, secretly planning for the future. (End of this chapter)
