Lu Ran stayed in the human world for one night, solved some issues, and then returned to the Mountain Realm to lead the crew to the Heavenly Realm Battlefield.

Because the third squad's troops were not complete, Yunhai's old member, Wuya, was temporarily assigned to the first squad of the Ran Sect.

The two Feng Yan generals had just merged into one, and were still at the first level of the Heavenly Realm, requiring Lu Ran to cultivate them further.

Yan Shuangzi persistently pleaded with the Lady of the Flame Gate and ended up staying by Lu Ran's side.

Such an operation left Lu Ran utterly puzzled!

Didn't the Evil Shadow Guardian want to stay with me? Shouldn't she have spoken to me?

Why go to plead with little Ruyi?

Speaking of which, this tactic was quite effective!

The Lady of the Flame Gate agreed, so Lu Ran couldn't say much...

This time, Lu Ran did not retreat to seclusion at the Fiery Fire Divine Mountain, but came to the far north of the Heavenly Realm Battlefield - Sword One Divine Mountain.

This mountain looks terrifyingly "pure"!

There are no flowers, trees, or birds and beasts, only a group of cold female sword immortals.

Sword One minions!

Moreover, these Sword One minions have flesh and blood bodies!

Here's the question, divine minions should all appear in phantom form, so why do Sword One minions have physical bodies?

The answer is evident: Sword One stone sculptures, there is no division between gods and demons.

She doesn't have an opposing evil god!

Thus, the prevalent understanding is wrong.

The leader of the Da Xia gods and the leader of the Da Xia evil demons are not literal arch-nemeses.

They might truly have conflicts or there might be some unknown secret, but these are not important.

What matters is that these two seemingly opposing "No.1" figures are complete entities!

Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why both can firmly hold the top positions of gods and demons?

Without two sides of a coin, the stone sculpture's power is naturally not weakened.

The reason Lu Ran came here for seclusion is that Sword One Divine Mountain is incredibly clean, the mountain only hosts Sword One Sect, there are no perceptual type god or demon minions.

Strictly speaking, there are other beings on Sword One Divine Mountain - Ninth rank evil demon, Soul Jade.

However, these piles of jade tokens are merely tools.

The female sword immortals wear the soul jades at their waists to collect dead souls after killing enemies.

Only upon reaching this divine mountain did Lu Ran understand what was meant by being impregnable!

In the light frosty mist, the female sword immortals freely shuttled through the sword shadows.

The flying swords darting everywhere, the frost sword torrents like a waterfall, the grandiose sword hanging upside down in the sky...

Who needs external support?

The Sword One Sect is contending with the Faceless Jade Venerable, clearly having the upper hand!

Lu Ran couldn't help but silently praise what he saw.

Sometimes, it's understandable why others are aloof and proud.

Strength speaks for itself!

Lu Ran's hiding place retreated repeatedly.

No choice, the coverage range of the female sword immortals' output was too wide, too dense.

Lu Ran occasionally joined in the fight, and it left him feeling extremely full...

Yan Shuangzi's presence was indeed a big help.

Lu Ran was indeed capable of self-preservation, but during cultivation, keeping his ears and eyes open was unavoidable. Now with an evil dog by his side, he could focus more on his cultivation.

Time flashed by, reaching more than half a month later.

On this day, listening to the torrential sword rain pouring from the distant north, while purifying the Holy Spirit Energy, a thought suddenly came to Lu Ran's mind.

Black Jade Tiger Talisman?

Lu Ran was stirred at heart, immediately transmitting a message: [Directly convey Mr. Huangfu's words.]

[Young Master, Leng Tianxing and Leng Tianyue have already left the Divine Mountain and come to join us.]

[Good!] Lu Ran felt assured, [The usual practice.]

[Young Master, if convenient, you can teleport directly over, I am within a stone peak, the surroundings are safe.]

Inside a stone peak cave, Lu Ran stood up from the sea of mist: [Evil Shadow, come to my side.]

In the next moment, a faint divine power fluctuation appeared beside Lu Ran, clearly, someone was on his right, but the person remained invisible, only revealing their presence when casting a spell.

"Show yourself, I'm afraid the flower won't choose you." Lu Ran said softly.

Sure enough, a tall woman appeared by his side.

"Whew~" Lu Ran spread his palm, and an illusory black Other Shore Flower blossomed forth.

At the same time, in the southwestern part of the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, inside a large stone peak.

Huangfu Zhao suddenly looked up, seeing a dreamlike teleportation array.

To his left and right stood two middle-aged men, their long bodies clad in luxurious blue robes, with grim expressions and somewhat similar appearances.

"Whew!!"

From the array, two figures dressed in green raincoats and bamboo hats fell down.

One of the raincoat-clad women disappeared the moment she appeared.

Only a youth wearing a blood crystal mask remained, exuding a heroic aura and gazing intently at the others.

"Young Master!"

"Salute the Young Master." With Huangfu Zhao bowing respectfully, the Leng siblings hesitated not, following suit immediately.

"No need for formalities." Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, murmuring, "Now, I can give my lady mother an explanation."

Leng Tianxing and Leng Tianyue stood up, scrutinizing the son of their old master.

Remembering that his mother had mentioned the Magic Artifact, Smoke and Mist Silk, Lu Ran couldn't help but have his gaze fall on the woman in the blue robe.

Indeed, there was a semi-transparent ribbon, misty like smoke, floating behind Leng Tianyue, skimming past her arms to the front and spreading across her waist.

Wasn't this exactly the type of sash the immortals wore in the immortal realm?

The Divine Weaponry on Lu Ran told him that this Smoke and Mist Silk was actually a third-rank Magic Artifact!

"Phew~"

Suddenly, an illusory figure appeared, standing behind Lu Ran.

The Leng siblings were still observing the young man, and upon seeing the phantom woman, their faces momentarily froze.

Then, they immediately bowed in greeting, "Sect Master Qiao!"

"Sect Master Qiao."

This time, the voices of the seemingly stern man and woman bore an unmistakable hint of excitement.

"I am the Cloud Sea Sword Spirit," the phantom Qiao Wanjun said softly, "I recently communicated with the master."

The Leng siblings raised their heads, gazing at the illusory woman with unrivaled charm.

Confirmed, Sect Master Qiao is not dead!

Even Huangfu Zhao nearby became secretly excited, knowing well of Lu Ran's prowess, aware that the Young Master could freely traverse the Heavenly Realm and the Human World.

"Assist him well," the Sword Spirit indicated to the cloaked young man, speaking coolly, "His orders are my orders."

"Understood!" replied the Leng siblings in unison.

"Additionally, Tianyue." The phantom Qiao Wanjun spoke again, "Gift your Smoke and Mist Silk to Lu Ran."

Lu Ran hurriedly refused, "No... mother, no need."

To his surprise, Leng Tianyue did not hesitate, walking forward with the long Smoke and Mist Silk in hand.

This was a Third Rank Magic Artifact!

Leng Tianyue's lack of objection was frightening enough, and even the Artifact Spirit had no objection?

One master, one artifact, don't they even need to negotiate?

Oh my, Sect Master Qiao, what kind of existence are you within the Cloud Sea Sect...

"Take it, be obedient," Qiao Wanjun's phantom hand descended, her face smiling, gently patting Lu Ran's head.

"Young Master," Leng Tianyue looked up at the tall young man, speaking softly, "Sect Master Qiao made this decision for a reason, please take it."

Lu Ran: "..."

Leng Tianyue tiptoed, hands holding the Smoke and Mist Silk, directly draping it around Lu Ran's neck.

Like Tibetan compatriots offering khata...

Then, a rather contradictory scene unfolded!

The mysterious knight from the Martial World, with an immortal's ribbon from the Immortal World floating behind him.

It was indeed a cross-realm mix and match style.

Lu Ran opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Was Mother forcing him to change into a loose white robe...hmm?

Lu Ran instinctively tilted his head to dodge.

The Smoke and Mist Silk that had come close to his cheek suddenly stopped.

Originally, it moved on its own, dancing behind Lu Ran, its ends passing under his arms and spreading horizontally.

After being rejected for a touch, the Smoke and Mist Silk actually sagged down?

It seemed to transform into a mundane item, hanging around Lu Ran's neck, its long ends dragging on the ground.

"No, I didn't mean it," Lu Ran hurriedly lifted the Smoke and Mist Silk.

But where Lu Ran's hand lifted it, the semi-transparent smoke-like ribbon turned into wisps of blue smoke.

Lu Ran's hand merely passed through, unable to lift it!

"This?" Lu Ran's face showed embarrassment as he looked at the middle-aged woman in front.

Cold Tianyue's cold expression softened slightly, she smiled silently and stepped back.

Leng Tianxing then spoke up, "Young Master, the Smoke and Mist Silk is a Third Rank Magic Artifact with three functions."

Given the situation, Lu Ran couldn't avoid it anymore and graciously asked, "Please enlighten me."

"I wouldn't dare!" Leng Tianxing cupped his hands and said, "The first function, which Young Master has already experienced, allows the Smoke and Mist Silk to change its form in existence, its material between smoke and silk."

Lu Ran nodded and tried to lift the Smoke and Mist Silk.

He failed again.

Leng Tianxing continued, "In its smoke form, no physical means can harm it. In the silk form, the Smoke and Mist Silk can emit dawn light, blocking enemy attacks.

As a Third Rank Magic Artifact, ordinary Heavenly Grade Techniques find it difficult to break through its defense."

Lu Ran clicked his tongue internally and immediately asked, "Is the temperature high?"

He naturally recalled his Dawn Blade, whose emitted dawn light could scorch everything!

Leng Tianxing shook his head, "No, it's purely a defensive means."

Lu Ran nodded.

Leng Tianxing continued, "The Smoke and Mist Silk seems to be seven feet long, but it can actually extend indefinitely, helping you bind enemies, sheltering you from wind and rain.

This function is extremely significant. If in future battles the Smoke and Mist Silk truly gets damaged..."

Leng Tianxing paused, emphasizing, "All the Young Master needs to do is keep a small piece of the Smoke and Mist Silk, and it can fully recover."

Goodness~

Lu Ran grinned, trying to lift the draped ribbon, but failed again.

Having quite the temperament?

Lu Ran pondered for a moment, then tilted his head, raised his shoulder, and nudged the Smoke and Mist Silk with his cheek.

Clearly, he remembered why the ribbon got upset.

The dignified Young Master of the Cloud Sea Sect, thick-skinned, insisted on making peace with the Smoke and Mist Silk.

This touch was extraordinary!

The light smoke-like ribbon quietly transformed, and a faint gold red appeared on the silk band.

As colorful as a sunset.

Ha!

The Smoke and Mist Silk is giving a chance?

Not afraid of your aloofness, just afraid of your nonchalance.

Well done! Then you're mine forever, don't ever think of escaping from my grasp~
