Chapter 514: The Direct Path to the Great Vehicle Stage, the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture

Just as the front lines were filled with anxiety and unease, a sudden piece of news arrived, calming everyone's hearts.

A powerful Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had arrived at the Moonbreak Immortal City.

It was rumored to be the ancestor of the Joyful Harmony Sect, who had cultivated the Six Sovereigns Yin-Yang Transformation for over a thousand years, reaching the pinnacle of divine transformation.

This news invigorated everyone's spirits.

The Joyful Harmony Ancestor was no ordinary cultivator. He had almost been recruited by the Divine Transformation Sacred Land's Abyss Sect as a guest advisor, but for some unknown reason, it didn't work out. This failure only further demonstrated the strength of the opponent.

The appearance of such a powerful being in the Howling Moon Mountains was like a stabilizing force, calming everyone's fears.

It could be said that as long as no Divine Transformation Stage ancient demons emerged from the Million Mountain Range, the established territories in the Howling Moon Mountains would remain secure.

Of course!

Some people who knew the inside story made reasonable speculations.

The Joyful Harmony Ancestor, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, had emerged from seclusion and come to the front lines to stand guard, most likely to atone for his sins.

Everyone was aware that the war, from the Moonbreak Immortal City to the decisive battle at Thunder Drum Plain, had been conducted within the bounds of propriety.

The problem arose from the tail end of the campaign against the Great Snow Mountain.

The attack on the Great Snow Mountain was led by the Crane Cloud True Monarch and his Dao companion from the Joyful Harmony Sect.

Now that their disciples had caused trouble and provoked a powerful demon cultivator, the Joyful Harmony Sect had to take responsibility, regardless of how the East Wasteland cultivators in the Divine Transformation Sacred Land handled the situation.

Once this issue was understood, the human cultivators in the Howling Moon Mountains felt relieved.

The previous anxiety dissipated, and various businesses resumed with renewed vigor and competition.

It could even be said that with the disappearance of many Golden Core cultivators, the remaining benefits attracted more people, leading to frequent conflicts and bloodshed.

Ideally, this situation should not have occurred.

However, with the Falling Cloud Sect in disarray and the Joyful Harmony Ancestor keeping a low profile, people became increasingly unrestrained.

...

On Cangwu Mountain, two figures stood side by side, gazing down at the square below.

A man was controlling a True Fire Furnace to refine pills, surrounded by a flock of birds. He worked silently, focused on his task, despite his somewhat displeased expression.

In front of the Day Void Hall, a dark spring flapped its wings, trying to land on the blue-robed woman.

They were very close, but it was as if there was an invisible barrier between them, preventing the spring from flying over.

The dark spring spoke in an unpleasant voice, "Little Qing, let me rest for a bit. Flying constantly is so tiring."

Qingfeng seemed not to hear, her bright eyes fixed on the square below, but without any apparent focus.

The dark spring made a few clucking sounds, and a cloud of black mist descended beneath it. Then, it continued, "Those human cultivators truly don't take our warnings seriously! After you killed and captured them, causing the loss of five Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs, they still boldly roam the Howling Moon Mountains. Don't they fear that the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian might retaliate?"

Qingfeng's expression shifted slightly, and she replied calmly, "You often say that human cultivators are accustomed to being arrogant, don't you?"

Yes, they were accustomed to arrogance!

Every time a war was declared, it was claimed that both risks and benefits coexisted.

And every time, countless people would join, the battles rising and falling without cease.

Why was this?

It was simply because cultivators habitually believed that the benefits outweighed the risks.

Subconsciously, the repeatedly victorious East Wasteland cultivators did not take the demons in the Million Mountain Range seriously.

The dark spring pouted and glanced at the Cross-Reality Hall, which she was temporarily overseeing.

"If you ask me, we should just kill them. Why bring them back?"

Qingfeng spoke softly, "My sister said that she and the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian are not on the same path. I've already helped her by assisting Emperor Tian once, and there's no need to offend the human cultivators further. We'll keep these people here for now, awaiting further developments. If they reach an agreement, we can hand them over without offending the human side."

The dark spring was taken aback.

"Little Qing, I didn't expect you to understand these intricacies."

Qingfeng bit her lip. "After reading so many books, it's natural to understand human affairs."

The dark spring chuckled, "Have you ever considered what would happen if they can't reach an agreement?"

Qingfeng's eyebrows furrowed, and she fell into a dilemma.

After a moment of hesitation, she said uncertainly, "Kill them?"

"I'm afraid it will be too late by then!"

"Uh..."

"Don't worry. I've contacted the Demon Court founded by Emperor Tian in the East Wasteland. They will come and take these people away. Whether it's war or peace, it won't have anything to do with our Cangwu Mountain." The dark spring spoke, its face turning solemn. "Little Qing, remember that the knowledge from books is only the most superficial. To truly understand these principles, you need to experience them firsthand."

Experience firsthand?

A hint of perplexity appeared on the woman's delicate face.

Seeing her struggle and distress, Yuquan once again showed a smile and comforted her, "Forget it, I know you hate these things the most. You just want to focus on cultivation and advance to the Divine Transformation Stage as soon as possible. From now on, don't bother with these matters, leave it to me."

Upon hearing these words, Qingfeng's face finally showed a relieved expression.

She spoke softly, "That's right, this is also my sister's hope for me. I can't let her down."

"Yes, keep it up! I believe you can do it. Since childhood, you've been practicing the most orthodox Demon Cultivation methods, and in just two hundred years, you've reached the late-stage Nascent Soul. If we're talking about the Mountain Sea Realm, the one most likely to naturally ascend to the Divine Transformation Stage in this era is none other than you, Qingfeng!"

Hearing these words of encouragement, the woman rarely showed a hint of a smile.

But she didn't notice the hint of impatience in Yuquan's eyes.

Suddenly, Qingfeng looked at the figure of the pill-refining man below the mountain and blurted out, "What you value in him is not just his pill refinement skills, right?"

"How do you mean? The Imperial Stream Potion is of great help in developing the Cangwu Mountain's power, and this alone is enough for me to value him."

"Yuquan, is that really the case?" Qingfeng asked in confusion.

Yuquan laughed, "Alright, I can't hide it from you with your keen and perceptive mind! Take a closer look at the flame that Luo Chen uses when refining pills!"

Qingfeng curiously glanced over.

Gradually, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Nirvana Holy Flame?"

"Yes and no!"

Yuquan boasted, "In the world, only the Phoenix Empyrean can master the Nirvana Holy Flame. How could a mere Golden Core Cultivator possibly master the Nirvana Holy Flame? However, you're not wrong either. The Ku Rong Huo that Luo Chen controls has the prototype of the Nirvana Holy Flame, possessing the rudiment of the mystery of life and death transformation."

Qingfeng was surprised, "Is this the reason you're especially favoring him?"

"That's part of the reason!" Yuquan lowered his voice, emitting a strange sound, "Also, this young man is indeed extraordinary. With a Five Elemental Roots body, he formed a pill in less than a hundred years, possessing an exceptionally firm and resolute temperament, and a deep source of fortune. If it weren't for your intervention, he would surely become the most outstanding genius among humans!"

"Now, with him under my control, not only does it increase our strength, allowing Cangwu Mountain to develop and grow, but it also weakens the strength of humans. With such a two-fold benefit, why wouldn't I be happy?"

"The most important thing is that the Imperial Stream Potion is not the key. It's the Shape Transformation Pill that is the key to the rise of Cangwu Mountain!"

The mountain breeze blew, fluttering the blue robe.

Qingfeng seemed deep in thought.

After watching Luo Chen refine pills for a while, she casually said, "But it's obvious that his control over the Ku Rong Huo is still at the most basic level. He probably won't be able to refine the Shape Transformation Pill for you."

"I didn't expect that Qing, who only understands body refinement and spatial laws, would also be so knowledgeable about fire laws!"

Yuquan chuckled.

"Don't worry, this is a minor matter."

"I have my own methods. I'll make him proficient in controlling the Ku Rong Huo and refine the Shape Transformation Pill for me!"

...

On the platform at the mountain's waist.

Luo Chen's face was grim as he refined the Imperial Stream Potion.

After a month, with the help of Crane Purity, he finally gathered the materials for a batch of Imperial Stream Potion.

After personally refining it further, he met the basic conditions for refinement.

If that was all, it would be fine.

Refining pills was his specialty, after all.

However, Yuquan gave an order.

He had to refine pills under the watchful eyes of the masses, personally leading the process, and if any birds had questions, he had to personally answer them.

What did this mean? It meant he had to be their teacher! It meant he had to impart his pill refinement techniques.

Luo Chen couldn't refuse. They didn't extract his soul and let him go, and they provided him with a third-stage supreme cave mansion that could increase his cultivation speed ninefold. In this situation, he couldn't possibly refuse with some excuse about pill refinement habits.

Martyrdom wasn't something Luo Chen was capable of.

But just thinking about refining pills for demons and teaching them human pill refinement techniques, the difference between the two was too great! "If cultivators find out, my identity as a traitor will be exposed, and I'll have nowhere to run."

Luo Chen sighed inwardly.

But his hands didn't slow down at all. With a sweep of his wide sleeves, the broken Shufufu revealed its lid, and strands of golden liquid rose into the sky.

As his spiritual power circulated, the liquid automatically flowed into the prepared jade bottles.

This scene was like the essence of the blazing sun and the falling moon, dazzling and brilliant.

Chirp, chirp!

By his ears, the chirping of birds could be heard.

Luo Chen, who had a basic understanding of bird language, could tell that the birds of Cangwu Mountain, from the first to the third stage, were sincerely praising his prowess.

But this praise was grating to his ears.

If given a choice, Luo Chen would rather not have it.

He turned to leave, but his movement was blocked by Crane Purity.

"I need to rest!"

"Next time you refine pills, slow down a little. Many people couldn't see your pill refinement techniques clearly."

"If they can't see clearly, it shows they lack understanding, and naturally, they don't have the talent to be pill masters."

"Luo Chen, I advise you to control your temper."

Luo Chen took a deep breath, trying to suppress his displeasure.

But his words still carried a sharp edge, "That's the truth. Otherwise, in the cultivation world, pill masters would be everywhere. Senior Crane Purity, you've been in the human cultivation world for so many years, you should understand this better than I do, right?"

Crane Purity nodded subconsciously.

But soon, she realized the hint of mockery in his words.

He was insulting her, and even calling her a traitor to the demon race!

Just as Crane Purity was about to get angry, she stopped herself mid-sentence.

She turned her head and looked up towards the direction of Day Void Hall, then her expression shifted as she gazed at Luo Chen.

"Senior Qingfeng and Senior Dark Spring want you to go up there."

Luo Chen was taken aback and instinctively looked towards the huge palace that seemed to be in a different space, faintly visible.

...

This was Luo Chen's first time at Day Void Hall.

It was also his second time seeing the powerful demon cultivator named Qingfeng.

Their eyes met, and Luo Chen trembled, lowering his head immediately.

In the hall, Qingfeng still hesitated, sending a telepathic message to Dark Spring, "Are you really going to pass on your sister's cultivation technique to him?"

"It's just an excerpt from the Golden Core chapter, so there's no harm in giving it to him. Moreover, although the Phoenix Empyrean's inheritance came from Lian Xia, she has long since broken free from her constraints and no longer relies on that cultivation technique. You don't need to worry, if the Phoenix Empyrean were to blame, I'll take full responsibility." Dark Spring chuckled as she spoke, but as she hadn't yet transformed her body, her speech still carried the habits of a crow, sounding harsh and strange.

Qingfeng replied noncommittally, "If that's the case, then it's up to you. Anyway, my sister also said that all matters big and small in Cangwu Mountain will be decided by you."

"Just relax, but I'll need your help later, don't forget."

"Mhm."

In the grand hall, Luo Chen stood quietly with his head lowered.

For a long time, there was no sound, and he felt an immense pressure.

It felt like his life and death were in the hands of others, and he couldn't resist at all.

Finally!

The black crow with its strange speech pattern spoke, "Luo Chen, has anyone ever told you that you're on the wrong path?"

Luo Chen was taken aback and instinctively looked up, meeting her gaze.

"Yes, someone has said that."

Dark Spring didn't seem to mind his impolite stare, nodding, "It seems there are people in the human race with exceptional insight!"

Luo Chen recalled his journey, thinking of Bright Light Ascendant who had guided him and Chu Kui who had briefly been his sparring partner.

Recalling his memories, he slowly said, "Someone once said that I'm skilled in fire techniques but practice wood cultivation, like driving a chariot with a pair of horses facing opposite directions, so my strength can't reach its full potential."

Dark Spring nodded slightly.

"Someone also said that I have a Five Elemental Spirit Root, an extremely solid foundation, and the basis for ascending to heaven."

Dark Spring didn't deny it.

"So, after forming my Golden Core, I started trying to correct my mistakes. From cultivating a single wood attribute technique to dual cultivating wood and fire. Unfortunately, cultivation techniques are the sect's secret, and I only obtained a damaged copy of the 'Burning Wood True Art', which has slowed my progress."

Dark Spring smiled, "Your idea is good, and you have the drive to act on it. But have you considered that dual cultivating two attributes is inherently difficult? With your Five Elemental Spirit Root holding you back, how long will it take you to reach the Nascent Soul Stage? In this lifetime, will you still have a chance to break through to the Divine Transformation Stage?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's face showed a bitter smile.

He had indeed thought about this!

Or rather, he had deeply considered it when forming his Golden Core.

At that time, he took things one step at a time, slowly solving the difficulties in his cultivation.

But after so many years of hard work, his resources were abundant, yet his cultivation progress remained slow.

Up to now, he still hadn't had the chance to forge his life-bound treasure.

Even with the Supreme Third Stage Spirit Land he had obtained, his cultivation speed had increased significantly, but he still wasn't very confident about reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, let alone the Divine Transformation Stage! Dual cultivation was a burden, and the Five Elemental Spirit Root had become a fundamental constraint.

Especially with this Supreme Third Stage Spirit Land, he didn't know how long he could enjoy its benefits.

Just as he was smiling bitterly, Dark Spring said leisurely, "I have an unparalleled cultivation technique that can help you transplant and change your path to fire cultivation. If you cultivate this technique to perfection, you might even be able to deceive the heavens and escape your constraints, quickly advancing with a single elemental root."

"Do you want to learn it?"

Luo Chen was shocked, and blurted out, "What cultivation technique is it?"

Dark Spring opened her mouth and spat out a red feather, glowing like fire, which floated in front of her.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, which leads directly to the Great Vehicle Stage!"
