Ancestor Badao and Qinglian Sword Immortal both stand in the Heavenly Tao Domain.

Moreover, one wields a tyrant blade, the other a sword immortal; though they claim separate territories, there's always friction between them.

Wang Yiheng is a disciple of Ancestor Badao, and Li Zhengfeng is the heir of Qinglian Sword Immortal. Naturally, when they meet, they are at odds.

"Li Zhengfeng, what do you mean?" Wang Yiheng said. "This Immortal Elixir was planted by Ancestor Badao. Though it grows on your land, what does that have to do with you?"

"The Immortal Elixir was planted by Ancestor Badao?" Li Zhengfeng scoffed. "You really know how to make excuses. The elixir arises naturally; who can plant it?"

The Immortal Elixir is a life-saving miracle. Even if one's soul is snuffed out, as long as there's a breath left, taking the elixir ensures eternal life.

Moreover, the elixir contains the heaven and earth's path and rhythm, and any creature consuming it will advance significantly.

Even those who have transcended may, upon consuming the elixir, comprehend the Dao patterns and touch the Supreme Heavenly Tao Domain.

Thus, the elixir is precious for transcendents and even more so for Taoists, as obtaining one equals gaining another life!

"We both know the value of the Immortal Elixir!" Wang Yiheng said with a cold smile. "However, who it belongs to ultimately depends on strength."

Wang Yiheng holds the Tyrant Blade Command, which can intimidate a pack of fierce beasts but cannot threaten Li Zhengfeng.

They both have Heavenly Tao ancestors behind them, and their strengths are almost equally matched, so neither will submit to the other.

Thus, this battle is inevitable!

"I have been diligently practicing the Qinglian Sword Song recently, about to challenge the Heavenly Tao. Today, I will use you to hone my sword!"

Li Zhengfeng, with a divine sword body and taught by the Qinglian Sword Immortal, possesses formidable power, almost challenging the Heavenly Tao.

"You're too impulsive!" Wang Yiheng said. "The Immortal Elixir hasn't matured yet. If we act now and someone else takes advantage, what then?"

"Are you scared?" Li Zhengfeng scoffed.

"You have the Qinglian Sword Song, and I have the Tyrant Blade's Furious Slash. Who is stronger or weaker remains uncertain, so why should I be afraid?" Wang Yiheng said. "However, the maturation of the Immortal Elixir is no small matter; it will certainly cause disturbances, attracting many transcendent beasts and even disciples of other ancestors."

"Although we're powerful, two fists cannot fend off four hands. It's better to be patient."

"..."

Wang Yiheng's reasoning was sound, causing Li Zhengfeng to fall silent and surprisingly restrain his edge, postponing the battle.

Li Zhengfeng, who cultivated the Qinglian Sword Song, fostered an invincible aura, disdaining scheming.

However, his disdain for scheming doesn't mean he lacks intelligence.

Wang Yiheng was correct; once the Immortal Elixir matures, it will indeed cause a world-shaking turmoil, attracting countless powerhouses to compete. Fighting to the death now might only benefit others in vain!

...

Qing Ge and Zi Han are unaware of the events in the deep mountains.

They are determined to obtain the Immortal Elixir. Even if a Heavenly Taoist descends, they would risk their lives to compete, fearing no transcendent beasts.

Moreover, they've been guiding Ye Chen, wanting him to ascend to the great transcendence and become their strongest support.

Ye Chen's talent amazed them; he understands whatever is explained and masters any divine skill taught... such a learning ability is astonishing.

However, for the great transcendence's extreme realm, Ye Chen's foundation is too shallow and needs further solidification before entering that realm.

"Aunt, can I not call you that?" Ye Chen said.

"Hmm?" Zi Han frowned. "Then what should you call me?"

"I want to call you by your name—Zi Han." Ye Chen said.

"Ah?" Zi Han was stunned.

Zi Han is the mother of the Qilin girl, an ancient invincible existence. For Ye Chen to call her aunt was already taking advantage, and now he dares to call her Zi Han?

"Zi Han, though you are my elder, your cultivation is extraordinary, and your youth eternal, like a young maiden. I fear calling you aunt might age you." Ye Chen said.

Zi Han's true form is a Qilin, and after transforming into a human, she is stunningly beautiful. Moreover, Zi Han, a great transcendent, has reached the peak of her cultivation, always on the brink of entering the Heavenly Tao, with an unparalleled aura!

Ye Chen has never been immune to beauties, and after some interaction with Zi Han, he was finally moved to take action.

"Ye Chen, you are my daughter's friend. You should call me aunt; how can you call me by my name?" Zi Han's heart fluttered at being addressed directly by Ye Chen, who was indeed bold.

"I'm just on friendly terms with your daughter, not deeply familiar with you. Also, our cultivation levels are not much different; we should be considered peers. Calling you aunt feels somewhat forced."

Ye Chen is skilled with women, especially ones like Zi Han, with overwhelming cultivation yet naïve in emotions... Ye Chen prefers such women.

"Ye Chen, have you lost your mind?" Zi Han inexplicably laughed. "I and Qing Ge are life-and-death companions. You are Qing Ge's grand-disciple, which makes you my junior based on that alone."

Directly addressing her by name felt disrespectful, though Ye Chen's performance was impressive, soon able to ascend to transcendence, making him worthy of peer interaction.

"Haha, I don't care about all that. I'm just calling you Zi Han." Ye Chen said with a bright smile, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"You insensible boy, if Qing Ge finds out, she'll surely reprimand you." Zi Han laughed.

Ye Chen's animated personality endeared him to Zi Han.

Yet, while Zi Han is kind, Qing Ge is different, often scolding Ye Chen.

Therefore, Ye Chen dared joke with Zi Han, but not with Qing Ge, lest he be beaten to a pulp.

"That Qing Ge woman is too fierce. This is our secret, don't tell her!"

Sure enough, as soon as Qing Ge was mentioned, Ye Chen's face fell, looking pitiful... all right, Ye Chen wasn't that cute.

"Our secret?" Zi Han was momentarily confused, unsure what secrets she could share with Ye Chen.

"Calling you Zi Han is our secret." Ye Chen said with a face full of emotion.

"..." Zi Han's face froze; this boy was pushing his luck.

"Zi Han." Ye Chen said.

"Ye Chen, stop messing around. It won't be good if Qing Ge finds out." Zi Han said earnestly.

Qing Ge values etiquette, and Ye Chen's brazenness would surely anger her.

"I know." Ye Chen said. "That's why I'll only call you that in private."

"..." Zi Han was speechless.

"Zi Han, you know what?" Ye Chen moved closer to Zi Han, his eyes full of tenderness. "From the first time I saw you, I liked you..."

With Zi Han's stunning beauty and status as a great transcendent, how could Ye Chen resist?

Moreover, Ye Chen has caused too much mischief; once it comes to light, Zi Han would certainly not spare him.

Thus, Ye Chen wanted to act first; if Zi Han took a liking to him, his troubles could turn to blessings, achieving multiple goals at once.

"Stop."

However, before Ye Chen could play his hand, Zi Han interrupted him.
