Land of Lawlessness.

Somewhere in the boundless expanse of ruins, Dou Dou and Yaya sat on a broken wall, surrounded by all sorts of snacks.

"Go Luo Ying! Kill Chen Shuisheng!" Dou Dou suddenly shouted, raising her arms.

"Yeah, beat Little Mule to death!" Yaya cheered, waving her tiny fists.

When Luo Xiu had woken up earlier and proposed a challenge to Luo Ying, it had excited the two girls so much that they completely forgot about their card game and ran straight over to watch the fun.

Inside the ruins, Luo Ying tied her long hair into a ponytail, looking both gorgeous and cool.

"Young Master, after taking the Moonlight Divine Water, Ying'er's Divine Sense has almost recovered to its peak. You'll need to be careful," she said.

Hearing this, Luo Xiu was bemused. He hadn't actually wanted to challenge Luo Ying; he just wanted to use her as a sparring partner to test the Primordial Divine Power he had just comprehended. However, thanks to the heckling from the two little girls, a friendly sparring session had been forcefully turned into a challenge.

"Here I come!" Luo Xiu's figure suddenly vanished, becoming an afterimage as he rushed toward Luo Ying, crossing dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

Luo Ying, however, remained unmoved, her expression unchanged. With a gentle lift of her hand, she smoothly caught Luo Xiu's punch in her palm while simultaneously striking at his chest with her other hand.

Luo Xiu tried to retract his fist and pull away, but Luo Ying caught it just in time. He had no choice but to twist his body to evade her palm, raising his knee to strike her in the abdomen.

Luo Ying used the grip on his fist to push him away, causing his knee strike to miss its mark.

Luo Xiu performed several backflips to create distance between them. In their close-quarters exchange, both had pulled their punches.

Suddenly, a wave of heat billowed from Luo Xiu's body, turning the surrounding ruins into flowing magma as he unleashed his Primordial Divine Power.

At the sight of this, Luo Ying's expression grew more serious. The heatwave, saturated with a primordial aura, actually posed a threat to her. This was shocking, as Luo Xiu was only capable of exerting the strength of a Core Formation Realm cultivator. For someone at the Core Formation Realm to threaten an Earth Immortal was a testament to just how extraordinary the Primordial Divine Power was.

"Here it comes! Be careful, Ying'er!" Luo Xiu warned.

"Bring it on, Young Master," she responded.

Luo Xiu walked toward Luo Ying at an unhurried pace. Wherever he passed, the ruins beneath his feet turned into molten magma. The rolling lava moved with him as if defying gravity, swirling around his body and carrying terrifying power as it surged toward Luo Ying.

Suddenly, he threw a punch. Guided by his will, the surrounding magma coalesced into a giant dragon. It roared furiously as it merged with the force of his fist and charged.

In an instant, Luo Ying commanded her Dragon Drill to transform into a crystal shield, firmly blocking the approaching magma dragon. However, the terrifying heatwave bypassed the crystal shield and even her protective Gang Qi. It began to liquefy the fabric of her dress, exposing her snow-white skin. The ethereal white gown was nearly reduced to a form-fitting skirt.

Luo Ying's expression changed slightly as she immediately floated backward, putting more distance between herself and Luo Xiu.

Before her, Luo Xiu advanced slowly, calmly stepping on the magma. With each step he took, the lava would preemptively form a solid platform under his feet. He seemed to be enveloped in a mysterious and profound aura, giving him an almost sacred appearance.

"Young Master, what Divine Skill is this?" Luo Ying asked.

Luo Xiu looked down at his hands, recalling the Primordial Being from his dream who walked upon a sea of molten lava. After a moment of silence, he said, "I've named it the 'Primordial Yellow Springs Dance.'"

He added, "This is the Divine Skill I comprehended from the Divine Vine Tao Melon."

Just then, Luo Ying stiffened. She glanced around quickly, realizing that at some point, she had been completely surrounded by magma, as if she were truly standing in the Yellow Springs.

In ancient times, what many people referred to as the "Yellow Springs" was, in fact, the magma deep beneath the earth's crust. Because it could devour all life and existed in the depths of the earth, the term "Yellow Springs" became inextricably linked with death and Hell.

"An impressive Divine Skill, but it still falls short compared to the ones you had before, Young Master," she commented.

Luo Xiu raised an eyebrow. "What Divine Skills did I have before?"

Luo Ying's expression was mysterious. "Come, let Ying'er test the true power of this move of yours."

"Your Dragon Drill probably can't withstand my Yellow Springs," Luo Xiu said.

Luo Ying's lips curved into a slight smile. "Does the Young Master believe that the Dragon Drill is all Ying'er knows how to use? It's merely the Magical Treasure I'm most accustomed to."

As she spoke, an azure light flickered in her eyes. For a moment, Luo Xiu felt as if she could see right through him, inside and out.

"Young Master, this is the Divine Skill you once imparted to Ying'er. Although I have only grasped a fraction of it, it should be enough."

"Holy Blasphemy!"

The next moment, Luo Xiu felt a terrifying aura rush toward him. To his astonishment, he watched as Luo Ying also unleashed the "Primordial Yellow Springs Dance"!

"This way, Young Master, we can better verify whether your Divine Skill is truly effective," Luo Ying said, her eyes smiling with a trace of mischief. She then stepped onto the magma and walked toward him at an unhurried pace.

Watching from afar, Dou Dou's eyes went wide with astonishment. "Chen Shuisheng is so pitiful! He struggled so long to comprehend that Divine Skill, and Sister Luo Ying just copied it like it was nothing."

Yaya huffed. "Sister Luo Ying is using Holy Blasphemy, the Divine Skill of the Azure Emperor himself. I've heard that Holy Blasphemy can ignore all restrictions to copy any Taoist Arts and Divine Skills. It's one of the most powerful Divine Skills in existence, with practically no weaknesses."

...

For the next half hour, Luo Xiu was continuously beaten up. Luo Ying didn't hold back in the slightest, though she made sure not to cause him any real harm. The bout didn't end until Luo Xiu finally admitted defeat.

Everything returned to calm. All that remained in the ruins were large patches of cooled magma.

Luo Xiu sat on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, looking utterly miserable.

Luo Ying looked at him with a mix of pity and amusement, along with a hint of vindictive satisfaction. Back when the Azure Emperor was training them as maids, he was far more ruthless than she was being now.

"Using my own Divine Skill against me? Ying'er, that's just cheating!" Luo Xiu complained.

"How is that cheating? In a life-or-death battle, your enemies will resort to any means necessary to win."

Luo Xiu sighed. He naturally understood her logic. It was just that being so thoroughly outplayed by a woman left him feeling unbalanced. The joy he'd felt from comprehending a new Divine Skill had completely evaporated thanks to Luo Ying's use of "Holy Blasphemy." For a moment, he truly felt as if he had been "desecrated."

"However, Young Master, you've only just comprehended this Divine Skill. There are still many imperfections. You'll need to practice it a few more times. After all, practice makes perfect."

...

For the next month, Luo Xiu sparred with Luo Ying in the Land of Lawlessness nearly every day to perfect his newly comprehended Divine Skill. Without exception, Luo Xiu was the one who got thrashed every single time. Sometimes, Dou Dou and Yaya would even join in to help him, the three of them fighting Luo Ying together, but they were still beaten in the end.

There was no helping it. An Earth Immortal was an Earth Immortal. Power was everything.

And this was an Earth Immortal who knew "Holy Blasphemy."

「A month later.」

Luo Xiu and the three women finally left the Land of Lawlessness.

"Come to think of it, it's been half a year since we arrived in the Shanhai Territory. I wonder how things are on Earth right now," he mused. He suddenly missed his Eldest Martial Sister, his Third Martial Sister, and that female CEO from Sea City...

"So, are we going back the way we came?" Dou Dou asked.

Luo Xiu shook his head gently. "We could, but that would be too much trouble."

Luo Ying suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, Young Master! Last time, when we were being chased by those lava skeletons, I noticed an Array in a section of the ruins. It was faintly emanating a weak aura of Spiritual Power. It should be usable after a few repairs.

"I didn't pay much attention to it then because we were focused on finding the main body of the Primordial Divine Vine.

"I still remember the general location. Should we go take a look?"

"Let's go have a look," Luo Xiu agreed.

After a while, Luo Ying found the Array amidst the ruins. Luo Xiu walked around it, examining the mysterious runes on the surrounding stone pillars. Suddenly, his eyes widened in recognition.

"Isn't this the Array we use at Ghost Valley Mountain to dry peanuts?"

Dou Dou's mouth fell open in shock. "So, we can use this peanut Array to teleport directly to Ghost Valley Mountain?"
