"Ah!"

A sudden scream echoed through the air.

Immediately, a series of illusory figures gathered in the distant sky.

They eventually reformed into the likeness of Huanzhen.

However, at this moment, his face was pale, and his aura was weak.

Clearly, he was already wounded at the core.

This made him no longer dare to linger.

Before him, a talisman flickering with silver light violently shook the void.

Crash—

The silver light quickly enveloped Huanzhen.

Then, it took him away, disappearing directly from the spot.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan, who had once again revealed his true form, couldn't help but sigh quietly in his heart.

The third-level Body Refinement master, although extremely powerful in direct confrontation,

but in pursuing opponents and other such methods, he fell somewhat short.

Earlier, he didn't want to completely detain that Huanzhen, but his current capabilities were indeed not sufficient.

After all, a Golden Core master in a Nascent Soul sect can be considered a top-tier.

As long as the Nascent Soul doesn't emerge, the Golden Core master is the absolute authority.

And such individuals having some means of survival is naturally a common thing.

At least from his recent attack, if Huanzhen had not possessed the skill of substituting one thing for another, he probably wouldn't have needed to use the Space Escape Talisman before he was already dead.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan's gaze suddenly shifted to Master Chi Yan on the other side.

At this moment, he too was enveloped by a crimson flame.

And once that crimson flame dispersed, Master Chi Yan's figure was already gone from where he stood.

Evidently, both he and Huanzhen, upon realizing that even with both their strengths combined they weren't a match for Ji Haoyuan, decisively chose to leave.

No hesitation at all.

Slowly, the starlight and thunder around Ji Haoyuan also dissipated, returning him to his original appearance.

Buzz!

At the same time.

Where Master Binghuo stood.

Suddenly, flying snow and fiery clouds appeared in the sky.

Affluent and majestic.

In the blink of an eye, she was enveloped in that brilliant glow.

"What's happening to your Senior Sister?"

Meng Jiyue approached Ji Haoyuan, glancing at Master Binghuo, instinctively asked.

"That's right."

Ji Haoyuan nodded.

"Senior Sister has likely successfully refined the Ice Evil Fire Lotus.

Next, she only needs to complete her cultivation to smoothly achieve the Ice and Fire Dao Body and advance to late Golden Core."

While speaking, the flying snow and fiery clouds enveloping Master Binghuo's figure suddenly expanded.

Vaguely, a spiritual pressure completely different from early and mid Golden Core slowly emerged from it.

Half a year later.

This spiritual pressure finally peaked.

As if breaking through some restriction.

In a flash, it caused the surrounding light to twist rapidly.

At the same time.

Snowflakes suddenly descended from the sky.

And within these snowflakes, if observed closely, tiny fire lotuses could be seen quietly blooming.

Amidst all of this, a gorgeous woman in a blue dress was walking slowly toward Ji Haoyuan and Meng Jiyue.

On her face was a genuine smile.

It was Master Binghuo herself!

"Congratulations, Senior Sister, on successfully condensing the Ice and Fire Dao Body, advancing to late Golden Core, and attaining the position of a Golden Core master!"

Immediately, Ji Haoyuan was the first to offer congratulations to Master Binghuo with a smile and a salute.

Besides him, Meng Jiyue also smiled and congratulated.

"Miaoran, congratulations!

This journey to the Shengtian Secret Realm has finally fulfilled your wishes.

Your path will surely be smoother in the future; may your Immortal Dao thrive and your great path never end!"

"Thank you."

Upon hearing their congratulations, a genuine smile spread across Master Binghuo's face once more.

She nodded to the two, speaking sincerely:

"Junior Brother, Ji Yue, the reason I was able to successfully refine the Ice Evil Fire Lotus and further advance was thanks to your help.

Without you, I certainly wouldn't have succeeded this time."

"Senior Sister, you're too kind."

Ji Haoyuan shook his head with a smile.

"Without you bringing me into this Shengtian Secret Realm, I wouldn't have obtained such an opportunity either."

He was referring to achieving the mid Golden Core and the third-level Body Refinement master status.

Regarding this, both Master Binghuo and Meng Jiyue were evidently quite curious.

Then, the three of them discussed the situation in this environment thoroughly.

After a moment, Meng Jiyue spoke:

"Miaoran, Junior Brother Ji, now with approximately three to four years left before the Shengtian Secret Realm closes,

what shall we do next? Do either of you have any suggestions?"

Upon hearing Meng Jiyue's inquiry, Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo exchanged a glance.

Soon, a slight cold killing intent appeared on Ji Haoyuan's face.

He said, "Now, in this realm, we have formed a mortal enmity with both the Five Elements Demon Sect and the True Words Sect.

If possible, it's best to find and completely keep them in this Shengtian Secret Realm.

Otherwise, when we leave here, their respective sects might bring us considerable trouble."

"What do you think, Senior Sister, Senior Sister Meng?"

It's true, Ji Haoyuan's words made a lot of sense.

Both are, after all, from Nascent Soul major sects.

And not just any Nascent Soul sects.

Though the locations of both sects are far from where they are situated.

Especially the Five Elements Demon Sect, traditionally opposing their righteous cultivators, killing their sect's cultivators might not matter much.

But the True Words Sect's situation is slightly different.

This sect's actions generally lie between the righteous and the Demon Dao.

If there's no need, their righteous sect cultivators generally wouldn't specially target them, nor prohibit them from entering the regions of righteous cultivators.

This gives them some conditions for retaliation.

Normally, the Nascent Soul-level cultivators don't usually intervene in matters between Golden Core cultivators.

But there's always an exception.

What if?

Moreover, even if the Nascent Soul doesn't emerge, it can be quite troublesome if they're constantly targeting you.

So.

The best approach is to possibly eliminate the opponents present in this Shengtian Secret Realm.

"So does this mean our primary target is the True Words Sect cultivators?"

Meng Jiyue asked thoughtfully.

"Indeed."

Ji Haoyuan nodded.

"Now the only problem is how to find them effectively.

Given that this Shengtian Secret Realm is so vast, if they are determined to hide, even if we spend all remaining time searching for them, it might not be very effective."
