Chapter 114: 【Immortal Blood News, Wishing to Enter the Immortal Sect】 (First update, begging for votes)

Chongfei Domain, Luanzhou, within the territory of Zehuafu.

Lu Runping was still transformed into the appearance of Guan Sheng, flying on his sword.

The cultivation of this clone had only reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and had not been able to break into the Spirit Transformation Realm; after all, it had not swallowed a demonic beast of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Moreover, Lu Runping did not have a medium in his hands that could directly create an external incarnation of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But this was also fine; the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm could only be considered ordinary in the Central Continent cultivation world, not eye-catching, and not easy to attract the attention of those major sects.

Although Lu Runping's goal was clear—to obtain the demonic blood of the Ice Phoenix Demon Venerable—he knew nothing about whether that thing still existed, and if so, where it was.

But this did not matter.

As long as he could find out an approximately accurate time and place, he could use the 【Round Light Manifestation】 supernatural power to view the course of the great battle back then, to see who had ultimately obtained the demonic blood and some other legacies.

After entering the Zehuafu area, Lu Runping clearly sensed that the concentration of spiritual Qi in the surroundings had increased somewhat. Although it was only a small portion, in such a vast area, making the overall spiritual power concentration increase was very difficult.

It was said that this spiritual Qi was caused by the Immortal Spirit Qi that dissipated after the death of the original immortal bird, feeding back into this space.

When a whale falls, all things live.

A demonic creature at the Land Immortal level was a treasure from head to toe; even a casual breath it exhaled was something that could change the fate of low-level cultivators.

After the Ice Phoenix Demon Venerable died, its body was naturally brought back to the sect by the Land Immortal Shenwang Xianren of the Tianyu Immortal Sect, stored as a foundation for cultivating the next generation of successors.

But of course, there would be fallen limbs, blood, and other things during the battle.

To ordinary cultivators, this was already a treasure.

For creatures at the Land Immortal level, especially when they were close to the day of ascension, everything on their bodies had been transformed by Immortal Spirit Qi, rich in energy and exceptionally precious.

First finding low-level Qi Refining Realm cultivators to understand the situation for a while, Lu Runping then arrived at the gate of the Sheng family, a local cultivation family.

Thirty years ago, the Sheng family was just a small Golden Core family, but after experiencing that battle, the strength of the clan members grew rapidly, among which the most powerful Sheng family ancestor had now reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.

A treasure that could allow a Golden Core cultivator to cross two major stages in a short time was undoubtedly of immortal grade.

Although everyone was envious, the Sheng family had already defected to the Tianyu Immortal Sect, so they did not dare to act rashly, only making some small moves in secret, probing from the side, which was harmless.

Lu Runping, however, went to visit them directly.

A Spirit Transformation family would not neglect a Nascent Soul ancestor, immediately welcoming him into the clan hall and arranging tea.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivation walked out.

"The Sheng family welcomes Fellow Daoist's visit. I am the Patriarch of the Sheng family, Sheng Zhangfeng. May I ask for Fellow Daoist's name?"

Lu Runping opened his mouth and laughed:

"My name is Guan Sheng. I am traveling here and disturbing you; please do not take offense. This is a Qingyang Precious Pill gifted by a fellow Daoist from the Qingyang Immortal Sect of the Lianze Domain, which is quite helpful for the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators. Please accept it as a greeting gift."

Taking the initiative to visit without an appointment in advance was a breach of etiquette, so it was often necessary to provide a greeting gift.

But generally speaking, at most it would be some Qi Refining Realm spirit fruits. This was the first time Sheng Zhangfeng had seen someone like Lu Runping, who directly gifted a Nascent Soul Realm precious pill.

As expected of someone who could be friends with disciples of a top-tier immortal sect; his actions were truly generous.

Little did he know, how could someone like Lu Runping, who dug up people's graves, let others take such a big advantage of him for nothing? Giving away such valuable things naturally meant he intended to obtain even more.

"This gift is too valuable, but since it is a greeting gift, we will accept it. I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist here? Is it to inquire about the immortal-grade spirit item my ancestor used to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm?"

Sheng Zhangfeng signaled the servant to pour spirit tea while asking.

Lu Runping waved his hand and said:

"Such matters should be the secrets of the Sheng family; I did not intend to investigate. It is just that I am indeed curious about the great battle back then. I wonder if Fellow Daoist could tell me in detail what exactly happened?"

Hearing that Lu Runping did not pry into the Sheng family's cultivation matters, Sheng Zhangfeng's impression of him improved by another notch.

"That is naturally possible."

Next, Sheng Zhangfeng began to narrate, and Lu Runping asked questions from time to time, finally clarifying the accurate time and place of the immortal bird's fall and the dropping of some immortal spirit items.

In fact, the reason for the great battle back then was very simple.

The Ice Phoenix Demon Venerable had a grudge against the Tianyu Immortal Sect, and the former had a long lifespan and had not yet cultivated to the Great Vehicle Realm perfection, needing at least another thousand years before it could ascend.

But the Shenwang Xianren of the Tianyu Immortal Sect did not have many years of lifespan left.

To eliminate this hidden danger, he took action, directly exterminating the Ice Phoenix Demon Venerable and solving the future trouble.

Today, the Land Immortal Yuntuan Xianren, who succeeded the Tianyu Immortal Sect, had only just stepped into the Land Immortal Realm for three hundred years, and his cultivation at this level was very low. If the hidden danger was not resolved, once Shenwang Xianren ascended, they would inevitably encounter a great disaster.

The cause and effect were very clear, and there was also relatively accurate information regarding the several locations and times where the immortal spirit items were first discovered.

Mastering this content, Lu Runping was satisfied, bid farewell to the Sheng family, and went to inquire at several Golden Core families to confirm some content.

On the other side, far away in Qingyang City of the Lianze Domain, the true body of Lu Wuzhen activated the 【Round Light Manifestation】 supernatural power to backtrack on a specified space and period of time.

After half a day of searching, he finally found the scene of the great battle between Shenwang Xianren and the Ice Phoenix Demon Venerable.

A battle at the Land Immortal level was absolutely a visual feast. Just by watching the Dao Rhyme of the laws generated by the spells they released during the battle, Lu Runping gained quite a lot of insight.

But what he saw was only the surface; he couldn't learn anything.

He did not pay attention to these, but instead checked the things that fell from the Ice Phoenix Demon Venerable and the ultimate owners of these things.

The Sheng family ancestor obtained a fingernail of the Ice Phoenix Demon Venerable. The spiritual power and the biting Ice-Sealing True Intent contained within it allowed the Sheng family ancestor's cultivation to rise to the current Spirit Transformation Realm, and also allowed him to master a high-level ice-type spell as a means of protecting the Dao.

The spiritual Qi within that thing had already been consumed by the Sheng family ancestor.

The items obtained by other lucky ones had basically all been used.

Finally, after half a month of detailed investigation, Lu Runping found a person who still had a drop of condensed blood of the Ice Phoenix Demon Venerable.

This person's name was Xue Yunzi, an Elder of the Dao Harmonization Realm of the Tianyu Immortal Sect.

Using means like theft to obtain this drop of blood was basically impossible; only by letting the other party give it voluntarily would it work.

Carefully checking his behavior in recent years, he did not find any place that could be directly utilized.

Xue Yunzi was a Beast Tamer; he guessed that the immortal blood was prepared for a spirit beast, but his own spirit pet did not match the attributes of the Ice Phoenix Demon Venerable, so he had not used it.

Lu Runping thought for a moment and finally decided to first join the Tianyu Immortal Sect and then find a way to get close.

This immortal bird blood was worth him plotting for decades to obtain. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
