Tianya Residence, within the underground seclusion room.
As a gust of wind spread out, the young woman sitting cross-legged slowly opened her eyes.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled brilliantly, filled with a terrifying divinity.
"Swish~"
A Charm Shadow flickered.
The young woman seemed slightly impatient, completely ignoring the instability of her newly acquired Divine Power, and instantly teleported to the bedroom above.
"Thud" - a muffled sound!
Yan Shuangzi immediately looked down, but the fog was too thick. She crouched down and discovered that her footsteps had created two shallow pits.
The solid ground spread out with a web of fragmented cracks from her footprints.
Feeling somewhat frustrated, Yan Shuangzi clearly hadn't yet adapted to her Heavenly Realm body.
She had always handled everything with ease, but now, she had to be more cautious to avoid inadvertently harming her surroundings, including people.
Yan Shuangzi carefully adjusted for a while before daring to take a small step forward.
In her perception, there was no one in the bedroom.
He… must be at the Heavenly Realm Battlefield.
It makes sense; how could he wait at home for a whole month?
Yan Shuangzi suddenly stopped walking.
Unknowingly, she had entered the relatively private area of the bedroom, behind the screen was the bed, and the floor beneath was covered with a soft fox-fur carpet.
Yan Shuangzi quietly stood beside the screen, gazing in the direction of the bed.
Despite not seeing his sleeping figure there.
Despite seeing nothing in the dense fog.
Yan Shuangzi stood motionless for an unknown period, her expression turning hesitant.
Should she send him a message?
To tell him the good news.
But doing so might disturb him; what if he is fighting?
Yan Shuangzi pressed her lips together, struggling internally.
He knows when she started her breakthrough; he should calculate the days to return. Even if there's some error, it's just a few days difference.
"Ha..." Yan Shuangzi sighed deeply.
Her good friend had long accompanied him to the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, guarding him, leading a Ran Sect squad, fighting for him.
Now, she has finally reached the Heavenly Realm too!
Far too late...
Yan Shuangzi took a step back, leaving the soft carpet, kneeling down on the floor.
Just wait here.
He will come back... no, that's not right.
Every time he returns, his Landing Mirror seems to open at Heaven's Edge?
After pondering for a while, Yan Shuangzi's figure flickered again.
At Heaven's Edge, a Charm Shadow wearing a green cloak and bamboo hat appeared, the disciples of Sky Sparrow Pavilion in the forest approached for inspection but were sent away.
The cloaked woman quietly knelt, as if a stone statue.
Perhaps two or three days, or five or six days.
Day alternated with night, the sky brightened and darkened.
The dense fog between heaven and earth never dispersed, and the patrolling disciples of Sky Sparrow Pavilion never saw the cloaked woman move until...
"Whoosh!!"
A violent wave of Divine Power surged out from Heaven's Edge.
Yan Shuangzi suddenly raised her head, looking in the direction of the Divine Power's surge.
"Sis?" A familiar voice echoed in her ears, seeming like an illusion, feeling somewhat unreal.
The young man's words carried a hint of curiosity, pulling Yan Shuangzi completely back to reality:
"Why are you waiting here?"
Yan Shuangzi opened her mouth: "I'm... I'm here on duty, guarding the Ran Sect officers' breakthrough."
"Oh, who is breaking through?" Lu Ran stepped forward, casually helping the woman up.
Yan Shuangzi: "..."
"What's wrong, sis? Why do you seem dazed?" Lu Ran asked with concern, seeing her not speak for a while, "How long hasn't it been since you've slept?"
Poor rest indeed causes a rusty mind.
"I don't know who's breaking through." Yan Shuangzi felt somewhat frustrated again, speaking in a low voice, "After my successful breakthrough, I came here... on duty."
"Oh, congratulations!" Lu Ran said with a smile.
Standing close, Yan Shuangzi naturally saw his smiling eyes.
Thinking about it, the half of his face hidden behind the Blood Crystal Mask would likely be smiling too.
"That's great!" Lu Ran continued, "You replaced the Evil Dog, devoured the Greedy Wolf, now not only can you teleport worldwide, but also completely conceal your form."
Yan Shuangzi looked into Lu Ran's bright eyes; she slightly lowered her gaze and nodded softly: "Mm."
"Flap flap flap~"
The sound of wings flapping, from far to near.
Lu Ran turned his head, using his Simurgh Eyes to see the patrol squad of Huang Que in the mist, he immediately waved: "Who is breaking through?"
"Returning to Sect Leader, it's Yan God General and Feng God General!"
"Good." Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction, "How long now?"
"About eight or nine days."
"Got it, go ahead." In a cheerful mood, Lu Ran smiled looking at Yan Shuangzi, "Later we'll go to Mo Gu Peak, I need to personally unleash the Sand Sea, to support you with the mountain cave."
Yan Shuangzi had long sensed the formidable presence not far behind Lu Ran.
Adjusting her mood, she asked, "Who is that person?"
"My mother's subordinate, Wuya, now also part of Ran Sect, you can call him Heavenly General Wu."
"Heavenly General Wu."
"I presume you are the evil shadow guardian."
"Does Wu Heavenly General know me?"
"I've been following the Young Master for several days, unable to suppress my impatience, I once asked myself when I could fuse with the Stone Sculpture. The Young Master said to wait for the Evil Shadow Guardian to advance, then we could go to Mo Gu Peak together."
Yan Shuangzi pursed her lips and gave a slight "Hmm."
"Off we go, Mo Gu Peak!" Lu Ran quickly summoned a Landing Mirror, stepped into it, and arrived at the edge of the world.
Unfortunately, it was midday, the sun blazing fiercely.
The trio couldn't witness the breathtaking sunset.
Yan Shuangzi finally saw Wuya clearly, and indeed was startled by the other's appearance.
The collective attractiveness of the Ran Sect warriors was relatively high.
There were Jiang Ruyi, Leng Xushuang, and Yu Changsheng, these three from the Human World, all of exquisite beauty!
Someone as fierce as Niu Zhengzheng was already the bottom line of the Ran Sect, and now there's another near the bottom...
Not ugly, but... Hmm, he certainly looks like a tough character!
"Come, Wu Heavenly General." Lu Ran called out, circling the Fiery Fire Divine Mountain a few times in recent days, easily advancing Nuoshua Divine Sculpture to the First Level of the Heavenly Realm.
Though it hadn't reached the Second Level, let's allow one person and one sculpture to fuse first.
Upon returning to the Heavenly Realm, further cultivation can be focused on.
"Wu Heavenly General?" Lu Ran called out again, turning his head to look at the cave entrance, where he found the person staring at the sun.
The sun does not exist in the Heavenly Realm.
Wuya, having not seen the sun, moon, or stars for many years, couldn't believe his eyes; it seemed unreal yet true.
The God Demon was quite kind to the Human Clan believers of Holy Spirit Mountain, at least willing to create some natural scenery to deceive people a little.
But the question is... Is this possible?
Wuya sneered!
With the character of the God Demon, would they be willing to do such a thing? So how was Holy Spirit Mountain formed?
"Wu Heavenly General!" Yan Shuangzi spoke coldly.
"Hmm?" Wuya turned his head and saw the two people's gaze, immediately turning and walking over, "Sorry, Young Master."
Lu Ran teased, "Haven't been back for a long time, do you miss the prison here?"
"I was wondering how Holy Spirit Mountain was formed," Wuya responded truthfully.
Lu Ran had a moment of realization.
Indeed! People become oblivious to things they see often.
Lu Ran had become accustomed to the mountains and vegetation of Holy Spirit Mountain, even used to the lack of flying birds or beasts, not a single insect to be seen.
How were Holy Spirit Mountain and the Heavenly Realm formed above the Cloud Sea?
Lu Ran pondered briefly, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and with Wuya and Yan Shuangzi, proceeded to fuse with the Stone Sculpture.
He was quite adept at the fusion process, but reinforcing the cave wall with sand from the West Desolation Sand Sea during the fusion was a first for him.
Fortunately, the process went smoothly.
The two fused with the Stone Sculpture in succession and entered Lu Ran's Sculpture Garden, and Lu Ran immediately returned to Heaven's Edge.
Just in time for the advancement of Feng Yan Second Generals, the divine power at the ends of the earth was dense, comparable to the Heavenly Realm battlefield.
Lu Ran's condition wasn't favorable, so he decided to stay within the Sect and purify the Holy Spirit Energy on the spot.
The only drawback was that he couldn't wait around, with no Dead Souls automatically offering themselves to him, but for the sake of safety, Lu Ran decided to lay low.
In just two or three days, the two successfully replaced Nuoshua Divine Sculpture and Evil Dog Evil Sculpture.
The two moved without pause, and devoured the Evil Sculpture and Greedy Wolf Divine Sculpture respectively.
As Wuya had just succeeded, and Yan Shuangzi was still devouring Greedy Wolf, Lu Ran suddenly received a communication request.
This is... Nightmare?
[Big Nightmare?] Lu Ran quickly found the bearer, connecting tightly with the Nightmare Stone Sculpture within the Sculpture Garden.
[Something's up!] A weighty voice resonated.
Lu Ran's heart leaped into his throat: [What's wrong? Did your second team run into trouble?]
[Not yet, but I've just sliced a Faceless Jade Venerable, and the Night-cutting Blade is about to advance!] Deng Yuxiang's tone grew even heavier, [Should I return...]
Without thinking, Lu Ran immediately ordered: [Find a nearby Stone Peak! If it's too far, forget it, advance on the spot! Focus!]
Deng Yuxiang was evidently hesitating whether to return to the safety of Holy Spirit Mountain and take a chance.
Why take a chance?
Whether it is a person or a Divine Weapon, once the advancement mode is commenced, it means being tightly linked with the surrounding world.
Moving territories broadly at this point is not merely a risky issue but rather severing the road to ascension!
Night-cutting Blade is a second-rank Divine Weapon!
The advancement window is rare and hard to come by!
If successful, how much would this blade enhance Deng Yuxiang's combat powers?
[Wei Yun, did the Night-cutting Blade attract the fog?] Lu Ran quickly contacted the scout of the second team.
[Returning to the Sect Leader, it has indeed attracted it! The specs are high, there are many Fog Dragon Rolls.] Wei Yun immediately responded.
"Whew!!"
Lu Ran spread open his palm, a large Other Shore Flower blossomed.
Simultaneously, Deng Yuxiang's hand trembled slightly as she wielded the blade.
On her tall physique, a Teleportation Array unexpectedly unfolded, hanging above her head.
With the fog too dense, she couldn't see anything.
But she could sense a figure falling down, landing steadily behind her.
A hand reached out from behind, gently pressing on her shoulder, a deep yet familiar voice resonated: "Focus and let Night-cut advance, I have everything covered."
Deng Yuxiang's taut nerves gradually relaxed.
It was an unprecedented sense of security.
Something others could not provide.
"Clack!"
Deng Yuxiang grasped the Night-cutting Blade handle with both hands, slightly bowing her head, tightly closing her eyes:
"Hmm."
