In the thick mist, a tall black-skinned girl, holding the Divine Weapon, the Magic Yellow Axe, slowly flew down to Heaven's Edge.

The long white robe, which should have appeared quite loose, actually seemed to fit her well.

Yes, that was Lu Ran's clothing.

Years ago, when he took her to take over the Starry Valley, he personally selected this exquisite outfit for her, and she never returned it.

It seems the Valley Master of Starry Valley and the Martial Emperor have the same issue.

Wearing the Sect Master's clothes without returning them...

"Sect Master, a disciple of Sky Sparrow Pavilion informed me that you called for me?" Chang Ying respectfully bowed and said.

Lu Ran looked at the black-skinned girl, his gaze then fell on the battle axe by her hand.

This axe was made from Magic Yellow Rock.

From a value perspective, it's considered one of the lowest-end materials under the God Demon system.

However, this low-end battle axe, after joining the Ran Sect with its owner, received ample nourishment, and now has transformed into a Divine Weapon.

Hmm... it wouldn't be right to credit external factors entirely.

Three thousand disciples are in Ran Sect!

Who doesn't have a weapon? Why haven't other higher material weapons become Divine Weapons?

Ultimately, it still depends on the cultivation by the Master of Divine Weapon.

Chang Ying is indeed remarkable, isn't she?

No wonder the strict Deng Yuxiang and the picky Jiang Ruyi both praised her highly, just this one Divine Weapon set Chang Ying apart from the ordinary disciples of Ran Sect.

"Ahem." Beside him, Yu Changsheng lightly coughed, waking Lu Ran from his thoughts.

"Chang Ying, there's no one else here." Lu Ran said with a smile.

Chang Ying remained silent, still bowing her head and lowering her eyebrows.

But Lu Ran was persistent: "Chang the Mystic, there's no one else here."

Chang Ying pouted slightly and whispered: "Ranbao?"

"Yes." Lu Ran felt at ease.

He had been separated from the Human World for too long, and to regain the feeling of the past, he had to rely on his old schoolmates.

"What does Ranbao want from me?" Chang Ying asked curiously.

"Come over, I got you a pet." Lu Ran beckoned.

The Magic Yellow Battle Axe had already alerted Chang Ying that beside the cliff, there was not only Lu Ran and Yu Changsheng but also a large fox.

Its body was extremely graceful, sitting obediently, with seven long fox tails laid out in the air, swaying lightly.

Chang Ying approached, secretly pondering Lu Ran's purpose.

"Want to try sitting on it?" Lu Ran suggested.

"Mhm." Chang Ying came beside the White Fox, placing one hand on the soft fox fur.

This was a Ghost Moon Fox at the Sea Realm · Peak, with a body length of 7 meters, its tail length almost matching the body length.

"Eek~" The Ghost Moon Fox whimpered in a soft voice, lowering its graceful fox head, gently touching the face of the black-skinned girl with its nose.

"Don't mind it." Chang Ying leapt lightly, riding on it.

Command obeyed, well-considered.

Was this still the rash gambling enthusiast from years ago?

Lu Ran appropriately spoke up: "Though it's a pet, it's actually a battle pet. You should cultivate a good relationship with it because before long, you'll head to the Heavenly Realm Battlefield with it to safeguard the Ran Sect team."

Heavenly Realm Battlefield?

Chang Ying's hand paused slightly stroking the fox fur.

Now that she has reached the Third Rank of the Sea Realm, if she left Heaven's Edge and returned to the Holy Spirit Mountain continent, she would be an absolute king!

Even in the face of those strong sect leaders, she wouldn't flinch.

After all, Chang Ying achieved true "having all needs met."

Not relying on lottery chances, a genuine insider.

But... go to the Heavenly Realm Battlefield?

"Afraid?" Lu Ran came to the side of the White Fox's legs, looking up with a smile at the tiny human above.

Chang Ying shook her head: "Not afraid, I listen to Ranbao."

Lu Ran felt comforted again~

This "Ranbao" call made him feel genuinely flattered.

Chang Ying tidied her short hair which was blown by the sea breeze and said: "You want the Ghost Moon Fox to assist me, helping me foresee dangers together?"

Lu Ran nodded: "Divine General Qin has been promoted for several days now; in a few more days, he will be a great power of the Heavenly Realm. I will allocate adequate personnel for this team.

You also need to hurry and meld with this Ghost Moon Fox.

This species is very intelligent, and I have already asked it to regard you as its master, to command as you will."

"Mhm mhm." Chang Ying replied immediately.

"Go ahead."

Chang Ying casually beckoned, the Divine Weapon Axe in hand, but she did not leave immediately, instead she lowered her head facing Lu Ran's direction: "Ranbao."

"Hmm?"

"The Heavenly Realm Battlefield... are there Spiritual Fortunes?"

Lu Ran paused momentarily, then replied: "He should be above the Third Heaven."

Chang Ying pursed her lips.

Third Heaven?

That means there's also the First Layer of Heaven and Second Heaven.

How long will this path of ascending to heaven eventually take...

It is said that time is the cure for everything, but with each passing day, the hatred in her heart doesn't lessen the slightest, instead it only intensifies.

"Don't be hasty, Master Mystic." Lu Ran softly reassured, "Once you merge with the Stone Sculpture, I'll show you what rapid progress is."

"Mhm!" Chang Ying nodded emphatically.

Up to this day, she unwaveringly believed in everything Lu Ran said.

There wasn't the slightest doubt in her heart about whether Lu Ran's actions would be successful.

Even if the opponent was a God!

Lu Ran watched as the person and fox left, then turned to Yu Changsheng: "Shall I return to the Heavenly Realm first?"

During his negotiation with the strategist, Lu Ran made two points clear.

First, we must not hesitate due to fear; the Ran Sect team must venture the Heavenly Realm Battlefield, to loot resources! It is crucial for the growth of the Fake Gods.

Second, time is precious.

Qin Yanzhi, Bai Yanhui, and others need more time to breakthrough and advance, Lu Ran shouldn't wait here.

With this time, he could elevate Wind Emperor to the Second Heaven of the Heavenly Realm or meet with Yin Yan to find the Cloud Sea old forces sooner.

Once Huangfu is found, everything will be connected!

Not only is the return of other Cloud Sea old forces hopeful, but Lu Ran can also find a suitable hidden place based on the information provided by the other party.

Then rapidly grow at full speed!

"Sect Master, thank you for your hard work." Yu Changsheng saluted with clasped hands.

He was well aware that in the Sculpture Garden, He Qifeng was still merging with the Martial Monk Stone Sculpture, and Lu Ran wasn't in a good state.

But time does not wait for anyone!

Lu Ran had already stayed in the Mountain Realm for three or four days. Between the cessation of trembling of the Stone Peak Sculpture and the humming sound of the Wind Emperor's Sculpture, Lu Ran had seized the opportunity to take a nap.

He could continue the fight!

Similarly, Heavenly General Yin had also returned to the Divine Mountain for several days, delaying would lead to changes.

"What hard work." Lu Ran smiled, calling out an ancient bronze mirror in his hand, "With harvest and goals, it's not hard work."

"Whoosh!!"

A landing mirror forcefully tore through space, opening at Heaven's Edge.

Meanwhile, at the Diseased Wood Divine Mountain.

A broken woman, like a dead dog, sat paralyzed under a withered tree.

Hair disheveled, motionless, she maintained this posture for an unknown amount of time.

Occasionally, a handful of Human Clan disciples would see Yin Yan in this pitiful state, and their hearts would stir.

Be it pity or mockery.

They knew Yin Yan was close to death.

First, she caused the death of her beloved, then lost all hope entirely, even the Thinking Sword was broken by a challenger...

Does such a person really have the will to live?

Even the Evil Demon, Tree Face Demon she leaned against, couldn't help secretly meddling, wrapping the woman's body with withered branches.

Should I pierce her body?

Drain her life force?

Tree Face Demon struggled, its nature continuously urging it to do so.

But this Human Clan woman, after all, is a believer of the Evil God, Yinli Tiger...

"Buzz~" The tiger talisman in the woman's palm suddenly trembled lightly.

Yin Yan's hollow gaze quietly gained a sliver of spirit.

Moments later, she slowly sat up.

"Crack! Crack..."

The withered branches entwining around her body splintered away.

Yin Yan's deathly pale hand, like a ferocious tiger's claw, forcibly tore to shreds the stoutest of the withered branches on her body.

"Hiss!" The Tree Face Demon shrieked in displeasure.

Yin Yan shakily got to her feet, shaking off a body full of withered branches and leaves, and then thudded back to her knees:

"Evil God above."

Silence reigned around, no one knew what this 'walking corpse' intended to do.

"Yan, willing to seize the Holy Spirit Energy for the Evil God, go out and slay the Faceless Jade Venerable! Kill! Kill, kill, kill!"

The woman's voice was hoarse, her words coarse.

Especially simple and straightforward!

Though her voice was not loud, it couldn't escape the ears of the Mountain Lord's disciples.

In the rose bushes beside, a man silently meditating shook his head quietly, aware this madwoman was likely courting death.

In Yin Yan's state, could she possibly gather much energy?

Highly likely she'd fail to achieve anything, and instead have her soul taken by the Faceless Jade Venerable.

Yet the Evil God, Yinli Tiger, would probably buy into this!

The Mountain Lord was somewhat better, not too low in intellect, but the evil side of Yinli Tiger, dominated by cruel beast instincts, regarding management and demands of his disciples, left much to be discussed.

As he pondered, indeed, the Mountain Lord male disciple saw Yin Yan turn into a wisp of demon wind, flying towards the mountain's outer reaches.

Hmmph!

Beast, truly just a beast!

The Mountain Lord disciple cursed Yinli Tiger inwardly, granting the only faint trace of human compassion remaining within him to Yin Yan, silently bidding farewell to that wisp of demon wind.

He knew, in this life, he probably wouldn't see Yin Yan again.

Hmm... this might indeed be a form of relief?

Rather than prolonging her suffering, constantly oppressed and humiliated, wouldn't death be quicker?

Might as well reunite with Zheng Qingshan sooner.

"Whoosh~~~"

A wisp of demon wind drifted and drifted.

Flying away from the Divine Mountain, sweeping past each battle group at the mountain's base, breaking through Faceless Jade Venerable's encirclement, heading westward.

Seeking death?

No! Impossible.

Others think my heart is dead, my path extinguished... quite the contrary!

I encountered his Young Master.

Encountered the one he would protect to the death.

How could I die easily, I have to walk this path for him.

"Whoosh~"

After an unknown amount of time, within a sizable Stone Peak, a stir of demon wind suddenly emerged.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned slightly, glancing with the corner of his eye backwards.

The demon wind transformed into a black-clad woman, kneeling on one knee, presenting half a tiger talisman with her pallid hand: "Sect Leader."

Lu Ran turned around, pinching with two fingers, caught a sleek, ebony Resurrection Carp, and gently placed it in her palm: "Welcome back."

"Pop!"

The Resurrection Carp shattered, an infinite stream of life force surged through the woman's palm, pouring into her body.

Yin Yan looked shocked as she abruptly raised her head toward the young man in raincoat.

But the sea of fog was thick, engulfing the top of her head, her tiger eyes couldn't penetrate the mist.

Yin Yan made a disrespectful move, standing up without waiting for the young man's permission, dumbly staring at him.

Immortal Sheep Believer,

Where did the Mo Li Evil Technique come from?

Right, during the earlier battle with him, the skills he exhibited seemed off as well...

Lu Ran withdrew the tiger talisman from her palm: "This time, you performed very well."

Yin Yan didn't respond, because she saw the young man in raincoat reach out, catching another exquisite small carp.

"Pop~" The little creature shaking its head and waving its tails was no longer the ebony Resurrection Carp.

But a golden Longevity Carp!

Muffled speech came from behind the young man's Blood Crystal Mask: "Heavenly General Yin, do you still remember I once told you, it's not a loss to kill one, profitable to kill two?"

Yin Yan dazedly nodded her head.

Lu Ran smiled, placing the golden little Dragon Carp in her palm.

"Pop!" A terrifying magnitude of life force surged into her, the woman's sickly pale countenance gradually gained a hint of healthy ruddiness.

Resurrection.

Then Longevity!

Lu Ran's voice was deep: "I'm not referring to the God Demon minions."

Yin Yan licked her lips, no longer dry, her heart trembling lightly.

The raincoat-clad youth in her sight, his gaze earnest, word by word:

"I'm referring to God Demon."
