Chapter 254: Chapter 227: You Are Mine—Go for Rank 1!

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

A month later.

Above the boundless ocean, thunder rolled, countless lightning bolts raged as if divine retribution was descending, wreaking havoc upon the world.

Numerous Sea Race and Demon Beasts roared in unison, their cries echoing through the air.

Amidst the massive thunderclouds, a giant shadow could be vaguely seen spiraling within, battling against a tall and slender woman.

The woman seemed insignificant, like an ant amid the massive thunderclouds, yet the endless sword light emanating from her back overshadowed the gigantic shadow.

"Human Race Sword Cultivator, we have no enmity, why trouble my Thunder Island?"

From within the thunderclouds, came the angry roar of the Flood Dragon.

"I borrow your thunderous sound!"

The woman’s sword light crisscrossed, after a few moments of battle, she finally maneuvered the Dharma Boat, taking a young Daoist along, swiftly departing the scene.

...

...

Six months later.

On an unusual small island flickering with lightning, a breathtaking woman with a veiled face and pink eyes was battling a Great Demon with a three-legged bull body.

This Great Demon’s voice was like thunder, each utterance resounding mightily, shaking the heavens and the earth.

With every move, lightning flashed and surged, displaying ferocity to the extreme.

The woman’s sword light crisscrossed, slicing the Celestial Vault, yet against this Great Demon with a three-legged bull body, she seemed to lack power.

Amidst the rumbling lightning, sword light constantly shattered, and the woman’s aura appeared somewhat unstable.

"Human Race, how arrogant you are!"

"This is thousands of miles deep into the South Sea, and you, a mere Golden Core, dare act so recklessly!"

The voice of the three-legged Demon Bull was like a loud thunder, speaking coldly.

"Slash!"

Yet the woman did not reply, merely urged the sword light, as a cyan Sword Pill darted like a roaming dragon, flashing incessantly, continuously obliterating the incoming lightning.

"Fall!"

Seeing this, the three-legged Demon Bull was enraged, letting out an angry roar, its voice seemingly capable of shattering the stars.

Moreover, a streak of purple lightning suddenly struck down, bearing an incomparable terrifying power, heading toward the woman.

"Boundless Sword Seal!"

The woman’s expression became solemn, her eyes emanating intense golden light, with golden liquid seeming to flow between her skin and hair, an indescribable aura suddenly surged onto the cyan Sword Pill.

"Boom!"

Sword and thunder clashed, the world changed color, within a hundred miles echoed the sound of explosions and rumbling.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the woman with pink eyes maneuvered the Dharma Boat, taking a young man along, swiftly departing the scene.

"Where are you going!"

Behind came the furious roar of the three-legged Demon Bull, but the Dharma Boat was swift; the Demon Bull hesitated for a moment, eventually not daring to pursue beyond the island.

...

...

"Disciple, the Spirit Pearl and Dharma Seal have both been refined, there’s no need to search Thunder Island further!"

On the Dharma Boat, Gu Yuan looked at the woman before him, whose aura was fluctuating and seemed somewhat fatigued, and couldn’t help but step forward and speak.

He never expected the Sword Fox Immortal’s method of helping him refine the Second Treasure would be so hardcore.

Directly following the Map, searching the South Sea Region for Flood Dragons and Thunder Attribute Great Demons, to compel their dharma sound, invoking celestial thunder, and leveraging these Great Demons’ power to help him refine the Second Treasure.

Initially, the strength of the Flood Dragons and Great Demons was relatively average.

Sword Fox Immortal, being a Sword Cultivator and dual cultivating in Illusion Techniques, found these battles manageable as long as they weren’t life-and-death.

However, as they delved deeper into the South Sea, the Great Demons they encountered grew increasingly terrifying in strength.

One glance from Gu Yuan left him feeling his scalp tingle.

Even Sword Fox Immortal began to sustain injuries.

This three-legged Demon Bull was already the sixth Great Demon they encountered, and Sword Fox Immortal had been engaged in magical combat for a long time without rest; Gu Yuan could clearly sense her aura begin to wane.

He did not wish for Sword Fox Immortal to continue battling like this for him.

The grace of this woman was very heavy.

"Let me see the Spirit Pearl and Dharma Seal!"

Sword Fox Immortal’s pink eyes seemed to carry a smile but did not reply, only instructing Gu Yuan to bring out the Second Treasure.

Gu Yuan, having no choice, could only bring out the Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl and the Ten Thousand Roar Spirit Sound Seal.

Within the five apertures of the Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl, an extremely dense Thunderstorm Power was already flashing, and its aura abruptly transformed from a low-grade Spiritual Artifact to a high-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Moreover, the five apertures trembled, as if breathing, mysterious Dao Charm far surpassing that of ordinary high-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Yet, in the last aperture, the lightning was slightly dimmed, resulting in an incomplete aura of the entire Spirit Pearl.

Meanwhile, on the Ten Thousand Roar Spirit Sound Seal, vestiges of various creatures like Flood Dragons, Three-legged Thunder Bulls, and Golden Toads flowed continuously, but were all grasped by a golden beast, held but not unleashed.

"Your Wind Thunder Pearl is indeed ingenious; even the Thunder Power summoned by Great Demons cannot fill it. It seems only a hint of true Celestial Thunder Power will do!"

"This Ancient Seal is also extraordinarily mysterious; you’ve comprehended many wondrous sounds, yet still lack something..."

Sword Fox Immortal cast a glance, showing a hint of surprise.

She had led Gu Yuan, traversing the South Sea, provoking so many Great Demons and countless Earth Demons, yet still couldn’t bring these two treasures’ powers to full fruition.

These two treasures were by no means ordinary.

"It’s already sufficient!"

"I am confident, I will surely secure the Upper Three!"

"Ascendant, no need to worry any further; we’ve been in the South Sea for too long!"

Gu Yuan shook his head, signaling Sword Fox Immortal not to advance further.

Though these two treasures were not yet perfected, he still had other means, plus the Mana of late-stage Foundation Establishment.

He was confident he could win this battle.

"What is Upper Three!"

"Having come this far, do you still not dare to compete for the top?!"

"You are my person, strive for the first rank!"

Sword Fox Immortal’s pink eyes shimmered with a touch of dominance.

Originally she only intended to lend Gu Yuan a hand, but observed over these days that Gu Yuan possessed deep foundations and not lacking in fortune, perhaps having a chance.

She did not seek repayment, but she came from a Sword Cultivator background, carrying a forceful character.

Where there is a sliver of opportunity, one must certainly strive for it.

Let those Seven Clans see, the person I chose is not wrong!

"Come, to the final location!"

Sword Fox Immortal mused briefly, then with a thought, maneuvered the Dharma Boat leaving the South Sea.

...

...

Sunset Glow Sect.

This Sect is one of the Upper Sects neighboring Cyan Peak Daoist School, with a Daoist Embryo seated within, a genuine Tier Four Sect, exerting power over tens of thousands of miles.

Decades ago, after the fall of a True Dragon, Sunset Glow Sect boldly challenged the Six-Winged Purple Gold Carving in the Thundering Mountain Range, leading to a prolonged and fierce battle between the two.

The Thundering Mountain Range became a land of fire and water, yet Sunset Glow Sect remained peaceful, exuding an aura of an Immortal Family.

Immortal Cranes flew together, auspicious clouds billowed by the thousands, over a hundred Spirit Peaks pierced into the sky, rising from the ground.

Golden rays of light seemed never to set, shining brilliantly behind the hundred Spirit Peaks, pouring forth inexhaustible Spiritual Qi.

An invisible barrier rose, protecting this timeless Major Sect.

"Though this sect is named after the Sunset Glow, its cultivation focuses on orthodox Thunder Techniques."

"The Sect’s Seal of Ultimate Skill is the Five Thunders Divine Light Seal, a seal of unrivaled power, truly a Celestial Thunder Seal."

"If speaking of where in the South Mountain Domain holds the most authentic Celestial Thunder Realm, it belongs to this Sect."

"Not only so, there exists within this Sect a Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast named Resonant Snake, endowed with four wings, capable of emitting formidable sounds, bearing Ancient Exotic Species bloodline."

"With this Thunder Technique and the snake’s call, your Spirit Pearl and Ancient Seal should reach Great Success!"

Before the Sunset Glow Sect, Sword Fox Immortal’s demeanor was as if ethereal, speaking softly.

"Sunset Glow Sect and my Cyan Peak Daoist School do not hold favorable relations, this matter should not be that straightforward..."

Gu Yuan looked at the Sunset Glow Immortal Mountain below, couldn’t help but sigh.

"No matter, everything is up to me, you just focus on your cultivation."

Sword Fox Immortal chuckled softly, seemingly indifferent.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, but looking at the graceful figure before him, his expression was complex, words unsaid.
