Seven days later, the second seclusion room of Cloud Sea Cliff.

In the pitch-black stone chamber, Deng Yuxiang was sitting cross-legged in meditation, but for some reason, she suddenly shivered.

It's here!

Deng Yuxiang wasted no time, decisively choosing to lie sideways on the ground, even curling her slender body.

Damn Lu Ran!

"Hmm..."

Sure enough!

She trembled even more violently, and within a few seconds, she couldn't help herself.

Each time the Night Charm Evil Sculpture advanced, it significantly deepened the fusion process between person and sculpture.

The deeper the fusion, the more Deng Yuxiang's talent and cultivation limit would be enhanced.

Without a doubt, this is a huge benefit!

Deng Yuxiang would continuously inherit the traits of the Night Charm Clan, which allowed her to be extremely sensitive to wind elements without using any skill.

Logically, she should be happy, right?

In fact, Deng Yuxiang indeed looked forward to the sculpture's advancement; the only issue was a certain irritating fellow always mentioned a certain embarrassing event...

So much so that she both loved and hated the sculpture's advancement.

This time, the Evil Sculpture's advancement brought her an impact far beyond the previous ones!

Perhaps it's due to breaking through the Great Realm?

Lu Ran, Yu Changsheng, and Yan Shuangzi set out five days ago.

Their destination this time was the base camp of the Martial Monk Faction—Wuji Peak.

And three days ago, Lu Ran suddenly sent a transmitted message to Deng Yuxiang, telling her to be ready at any moment!

He said, "The Evil Demon Lord plans to be merciful, bestowing a gift..."

"Ugh." Deng Yuxiang gritted her teeth, keeping her eyes closed, while a hateful face occasionally flashed through her mind.

At the same time, at the edge of the Night Charm Base Camp.

In the white snowy forest, golden light burst forth!

Pale gold fish formed a terrifying school, covering the sky and earth, swimming frantically.

"Go go go!" Lu Ran shoved Yu Changsheng, diving headfirst into the landing mirror.

"Boom!"

A giant blade descended rapidly, slicing down just before Lu Ran dispersed the landing mirror, shattering it!

"Crash!"

In a pitch-black cave, the Ancient Bronze Mirror suddenly shattered, its sound extremely sharp.

Before the mirror completely shattered, a gust of wind rushed in!

With a dull thud.

Lu Ran rammed Yu Changsheng, crashing hard against the stone wall.

And Yu Changsheng... well, his whole body fit into the wall.

It was quite like a comic coming to life...

"Oh man." Lu Ran gritted his teeth, quickly retreating.

Yu Changsheng: "..."

"That was too fierce!" Lu Ran said while pulling Yu Changsheng out of the wall.

Lu Ran really thought it might be better to slam into the wall himself!

Yu Changsheng seemed like a human cushion, but in reality, he was covered in a Sea Grade Water Flow Armor.

It was really hard!

"Pop~"

A pale golden fish appeared.

Yu Changsheng waved his hand, sending the Longevity Carp forward: "Is the Sect Leader okay?"

Lu Ran laughed: "Poor Mr. Cong Long, clearly being slammed into the wall, but still worrying about me... oof!"

As the Longevity Carp shattered, Lu Ran felt a surge of rich life force enter his body.

Yu Changsheng glanced at the human-shaped imprint on the wall, not saying a word.

In the vast Yangyang Sea, pain was impossible.

Just a bit embarrassing.

Every time they came to exterminate demons here, they were chased into a sorry escape, always living a life on the run.

And what just happened was the most dangerous moment since they started their mission.

Suddenly, a Sea Realm Night Charm popped up, and it was ferociously brutal!

"Sect Leader?" Yan Shuangzi hurriedly stepped forward.

"No problem, no problem, let's move further away." Lu Ran had no intention of staying, immediately casting a spell.

With past exploration experiences, Lu Ran specifically opened numerous caves for this night charm hunt this time.

He also recorded the spatial coordinates for each.

During this retreat, Lu Ran didn't even walk on the surface, casting three spells and diving into mirrors three times, moving from one cave to another.

Silently and quietly, he escaped without a trace.

"Ugh." Lu Ran entered a dark cave again, now far from the Night Charm Base Camp.

His head buzzed, and his steps staggered.

Lu Ran held onto the cave wall with one hand, finally breathing a sigh of relief: "You two should rest here, it will take me a while to recover."

Night Charm Evil Sculpture's breakthrough into the Great Realm, with the experience of Mo Li Evil Sculpture's breakthrough into the Sea Realm last time, Lu Ran knew his head wouldn't quiet down anytime soon.

Endure a lot again!

Couldn't sleep, and hard to think clearly.

Just had to hold on hard.

However, thinking about Night Charm Evil Sculpture's advancement to the Sea Realm, and being able to create River Realm Night Charm underlings, Lu Ran felt somewhat happier.

He took off the oversized cloak, mentally sending a message: [How are you, Evil God sir? Are you weakened? Received the Evil Demon Lord's gift?]

In his mind, Deng Yuxiang's cold snort could be heard.

[Why so fierce? I'm lying here weakly with you!] Lu Ran complained.

Deng Yuxiang: "..."

[Let me tell you, it was really dangerous just now...] Lu Ran removed his bamboo hat and lay on the ground as well.

Meanwhile, in the human world of Da Xia.

Situated in Yeyu City of Cainan Province, the sky was mostly a beautiful picture of blue sky and white clouds.

But today, thick clouds enveloped the heavens and earth.

Moreover, numerous "Fog Dragon Rolls" descended from the sky, connecting with Luoxian Mountain.

The scene was quite magnificent!

Undoubtedly, someone was breaking through here, and the realm wasn't low!

Outside Luoxian Pavilion, two elder men with white hair waited quietly.

Inside the pavilion, a young woman in a white dress gracefully crossed her legs, sitting on a bench.

Her beautiful eyes couldn't see through the thick fog, but they were steadily focused on the center of the pavilion.

"Hu!!"

Soon, a gust of wind spread, blowing away some of the thick fog.

The figure in the fog finally revealed her true self.

She was equally beautiful, her long curly hair cascading over her shoulders, wearing a white Tai Chi uniform.

The Luoxian Pavilion inside and out was silent.

The woman in the white dress and the two elders waited patiently.

Suddenly, the woman meditating in the center of the pavilion turned her head to the bench.

The two women gazed silently at each other, their expressions impassive.

Three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds...

The atmosphere grew heavier, almost to the point of tension.

The two elders standing outside the pavilion were already prepared secretly.

"Hehe~" At that moment, Si Xianxian suddenly smiled, even playfully winking, "Did I scare you?"

Jiang Ruyi: ???

Si Xianxian got up and sat beside Jiang Ruyi with a smile, teasing: "Were you especially afraid I might fly into a rage?"

Jiang Ruyi's face remained cold as she stood up, preparing to leave.

"Lady!" Si Xianxian hurriedly rose, clinging to Jiang Ruyi's arm, "Lady, kind lady, good lady, I was just joking!"

Jiang Ruyi gave Si Xianxian a cold glance.

She was indeed a bit annoyed.

Anger, because of genuine concern.

After a disciple of Lie Tian advanced to the River Realm, they naturally suffer greater contamination from the Divine·Lie Tian.

Jiang Ruyi was so worried about Si Xianxian, and this is the result she got?

"I was wrong~" Si Xianxian clung tightly to Jiang Ruyi's arm, rubbing her face on her shoulder.

Her skills in acting cute and spoiled had improved significantly.

Jiang Ruyi softly said, "This is not funny."

"I'm sorry!" Si Xianxian pouted, looking at Jiang Ruyi with puppy eyes.

Jiang Ruyi was silent for a while before finally casting a reproachful glance at Si Xianxian.

Seeing Jiang Ruyi's reaction, Si Xianxian knew her cuteness strategy had succeeded!

She released her grip with a smile, stretching comfortably, "Ah~ this is the feeling of the River Realm!"

Jiang Ruyi's voice softened slightly, with a hint of concern:

"How is your mental state? Is your mind still clear?"

"A bit irritable." Si Xianxian gradually restrained her smile, becoming serious, "Inexplicably irritable, not sure why."

Jiang Ruyi softly encouraged her: "You're controlling it well, make sure to keep it up."

"Hmm..." Si Xianxian frowned more deeply, the more she tried to search for the source of her emotions, the more she immersed herself in some specific feeling.

"Sister Xian'er!" Jiang Ruyi called out.

"Why are you shouting... ahem." Si Xianxian angrily started but was suddenly awakened.

Jiang Ruyi felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

"Sorry, Ruyi." Si Xianxian quickly apologized.

Not even addressing her as 'Lady', for Si Xianxian to use her name, she was truly apologizing.

Jiang Ruyi extended her slender jade hand, cupping Si Xianxian's cheek, a deep worry flashed in her eyes.

Sister Xian'er had been at Luoxian Mountain for such a long time, keeping a stable mood, with her mental state becoming more and more peaceful.

Could it be that advancing to the River Realm caused all their efforts to fail?

Jiang Ruyi thought about this in her mind but spoke comforting words: "It's okay, you've just advanced to the River Realm and it's a bit uncomfortable.

Keep your emotions stable, and you'll slowly get used to it.

Just like when you first came to Luoxian Mountain, this land will help you, and I will help you."

"Mmm." Si Xianxian closed her eyes, letting out a long sigh.

It was as if she was expelling the stuffiness in her heart.

She acted like a small kitten, rubbing her face against Jiang Ruyi's palm.

Jiang Ruyi didn't ask her to consolidate her realm, instead, she suggested, "Shall I go with you to pick some mushrooms?"

"Oh?" Si Xianxian opened her beautiful eyes again, her smile blooming brightly, "Is the sun rising in the west today..."

Before she finished, Si Xianxian's expression changed.

Jiang Ruyi: "What's wrong?"

Si Xianxian seemed not to hear, just her face becoming somber.

"Baa~~~"

Outside Luoxian Pavilion, Cheng Li emitted a weak, long bleat.

Both Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian were caught in it.

Naturally, all emotions in their minds were replaced by a wave of compassion.

However, this method only temporarily solved the problem.

Si Xianxian's expression didn't improve for long before becoming somber again.

"Sister Xian'er, what's going on?"

"I received a transmission from the Divine."

"A transmission?" Jiang Ruyi's heart tightened.

In this world, believers who could receive transmissions were extraordinarily few.

Even Cheng Li, who was a Sea Realm Great Power, with such strength and a high status at Luoxian Mountain, had barely heard the Immortal Sheep's voice in his life.

Jiang Ruyi immediately asked, "What did the Divine say?"

Si Xianxian's expression was complicated, speaking softly, "Lord Lie Tian has summoned me to pilgrimage."

"Pilgrimage..."
