A figure slowly descended from the void, landing on top of the furnace.

The figure wore a robe with a blue base and red flame patterns, with a blue Dao Pattern on the forehead. There seemed to be a vibrant life force emanating from the body, yet it gave off a complex feeling of total destruction.

[Zhongli Zhao (Zhi Li): Two Immortal Monarchs, I have come under the orders of my master to request the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade.]

[Jiang Mengli (angry laugh): The Southern Ming Lihuo Furnace? Fine, fine, fine, I will remember this gift! Back then he requested a spark of the Southern Ming Flame from Dragon Head, and now he uses it on me. How shameless!]

[Zhongli Zhao (closing his eyes slightly): Ming Guang Immortal Monarch, my master only has your best interest at heart. The Hidden Heaven Divine Jade is too significant, and now that you have barely broken through, with your Dao wounds yet to heal, you surely can’t hold on to it. It would be better to hand it over, and my master would then ensure your safety and peace.]

[Jiang Mengli (with a cold face): If he truly wishes to protect me, why won’t he personally drive away those Immortal Monarchs eyeing the Divine Jade? Hasn’t he always claimed that all Immortal Monarchs in the Southeast Realm regard him highly?]

[Zhongli Zhao (nodding and making a respectful gesture): As long as the Immortal Monarch hands over the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade, my master would naturally take action to guard your Dao and heal your injuries.]

Jiang Mengli narrowed her eyes, her expression extremely unpleasant.

[Jiang Mengli (telepathically to you): Find a chance to escape, don’t fight head-on. He is at the Peak of the Dao Realm[Profound Longevity]stage and has the Southern Ming Lihuo Furnace in hand, which is an Immortal Artifact. It’s a losing battle.]

Another Immortal Artifact?

Lin Qianxuan’s scalp tingled, why are all the opponents so formidable?

[Lin Qianxuan (telepathically asking): Sister Jiang, don’t you have two Immortal Artifacts? Lend me one for emergencies!]

[Jiang Mengli (with an annoyed tone): I have the Immortal Gold Divine Material, and plenty of it, but not even half an Immortal Artifact. Dragon Head originally hoped I’d forge the perfect Immortal Artifact tailored for myself, so he didn’t prepare any for me. I also dislike relying on external objects. Generally, even if the enemy has fine artifacts, they can’t compete with my Daoist Divine Power. If their cultivation is far superior, having an Immortal Artifact in hand still won’t help me.]

Although Jiang Mengli’s explanation made sense, Lin Qianxuan could feel she was also quite embarrassed and frustrated now.

Clearly, she regretted being too confident in herself.

Had she known this, she might have asked Dragon Head for two external aids back then.

Once Lin Qianxuan understood the situation, he directly typed to let the game character manage on its own.

(Figure it out yourself.)

This time around, Lin Qianxuan truly couldn’t offer much assistance.

His realm was insufficient to judge the battle scenario.

As for strategizing around Jiang Mengli….

Honestly, Lin Qianxuan still hasn’t found an entry point.

He himself felt awkward!

He regarded her as a senior; now to plot strategy, his feelings were quite complex.

Moreover, Jiang Mengli was a remnant from the older version, having experienced countless battles, strong-hearted, and without any special bonds with him. Even neglecting moral considerations, strategy might be challenging.

If there had to be a point of entry, it would be the Dragon Head bloodline shared with him.

In terms of Jiang Mengli’s attitude towards Dragon Head, there might be some admiration from before.

If he could play the Dragon Head part well, maybe he could be treated as a substitute.

However, with his current abilities, how could he believably play the role?

Dragon Head’s records of achievement were filled with MVP performances, numerous times taking on stronger foes, and even Lin Qianxuan knew his most remarkable feat was defeating a True Immortal from the Upper Dao Realm, forcing them to flee, a completely unrivaled character.

At best, Lin Qianxuan was a youthful version, questioning invincibility even within the same rank, not to mention being unbeatable.

With others wielding an Immortal Artifact, battles would be tough for him.

Surely one can observe that the game character’s arm was still being torn apart by Dao Principles; the previous sword injury hadn’t healed.

Even with numerous healing Superpowers evolved before and after, it wasn’t completely healed.

….

These thoughts flashed through Lin Qianxuan’s mind in an instant.

At this moment in the game screen, the game character had made a move, taking Jiang Mengli along with him, transforming into Escape Light intending to bypass Zhongli Zhao.

However, as the game character’s figure flickered, Zhongli Zhao also moved.

A Southern Ming Lihuo was summoned, instantly sealing the heavens and earth, burning everything in the space blue.

Before the screen, Lin Qianxuan felt cold instead of heat; as the flame burned quietly, all life was extracted, trees and plants naturally withered, living beings turned to bones and ashes.

The life and destruction of the Southern Ming Lihuo, at this moment, finally revealed itself.

Its life force drew from others. Without life, it’s just destruction.

This fire had properties somewhat similar to the game character’s True Flame.

Facing the Southern Ming Lihuo’s attack, the game character’s True Flame burst forth entirely, confronting the Southern Ming Lihuo.

Under the shroud of the Dragon’s True Flame, the Southern Ming Lihuo couldn’t approach.

Lin Qianxuan’s mind had a speculation.

He had learned from Human Dao about his True Flame’s extraordinary uniqueness.

The Dragon’s True Flame’s nature was extraordinary, devouring all rules and materials, beyond merely life force consumption.

Its essence was far above the Southern Ming Lihuo.

It’s just that the game character’s current cultivation was too low to fully unleash its power.

Otherwise, in mere moments, it should utterly devour the Southern Ming Lihuo.

Though all are Great Dao True Flames, there is a great difference.

[Zhongli Zhao (shocked): Can it resist the Southern Ming Lihuo? What kind of True Flame is this?]

There was no answer, and the game character, at this moment, surged with energy, countless Spiritual Patterns rapidly appearing, Chaos evolving earth, water, fire, and wind, raising a palm to strike.

Under this palm strike, a world faintly appears and forms.

The game character has surprisingly integrated the ‘Little World Technique’ into their own moves.

“Boom~!”

A world transforms into a palm and strikes out, its power naturally extraordinary.

Lin Qianxuan observed as even the Southern Ming Lihuo was suppressed for a moment, this palm fiercely pressed down on Zhongli Zhao.

Under Zhongli Zhao, the Southern Ming Lihuo Furnace shone with profound light, Zhongli Zhao summoned the Southern Ming Lihuo, and similarly struck out with a palm.

“Clang~!”

As if hitting metal, a resonating hum shook the surroundings, instantly shattering the space for thousands of miles, that world also perished.

It seemed that the position of the Southern Ming Lihuo Furnace had shifted somewhat.

In the void, the game character had already paved a path.

He took this opportunity to escape directly.

Zhongli Zhao stood on the Southern Ming Lihuo Furnace and did not pursue.

His trembling arm vaguely indicated that this confrontation was not easy for him.

To challenge an opponent beyond a small realm, and with an Immortal Artifact in hand, the game character achieving this performance was already exceedingly impressive.

With quick escape light, given the game character’s current cultivation, he must have already reached light-speed escape speed, and now used the advanced escape technique divine power learned from Jiang Mengli. Even without mastering it completely, the speed of his movement was remarkably fast.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery had transformed into a vast desert.

“Shua Shua~!”

Two Sword Qi intersected and rushed forward, the game character’s movements showed a slight hesitation, the True Flame manifested a shield to neutralize the Sword Qi, his figure also retreated quite a bit.

A woman in a crimson robe, with a beautiful appearance, manifested her form.

Blue and red swords swirled around her, her long hair styled complexly, adorned with a purple jade hairpin, with the remaining hair straight down her back, hanging at her waist.

[Sikong Qian (looking towards you): Sikong Qian from Shuangwen Holy Land greets both Immortal Monarchs, under orders from the Immortal Monarch Mingxue, specifically here to demand the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade.]

“Will it never end!”

Lin Qianxuan sighed, feeling that this simulation would probably fight from start to finish.

Jiang Mengli had a treasure desired by everyone, and they were coincidentally in a weakened state, anyone could take advantage.

In such a situation, anyone would be tempted.

[Jiang Mengli (telepathically reminding you): Be cautious of her Shuangwen Sword, though it is not an Immortal Artifact, it is a high-grade Dao Artifact, the two swords contain Cyan Thunder, Chi Xiao True Intent, and she possesses the divine power of Dual Swords Radiance. Its power is formidable, already possessing a portion of the Great Dao Divine Power’s might.]

Without any words, Sikong Qian had already made her move.

The Cyan Thunder Sword and Chi Xiao Sword simultaneously slashed out, the entire void reflected in blue and red hues, amidst the red clouds, Cyan Thunder surged, silently, the two sword artifacts had already fallen upon the game character.

The game character spoke not one word, infinite spiritual patterns instantly condensed, in a flash, a small world had already formed.

He grew increasingly adept, previously requiring to store power, now he could instantaneously manifest it.

This world was slashed open by the two swords, its might reduced by an unknown amount.

The game character waved his hand, a gust of wind condensed, confronting the Cyan Thunder, simultaneously a Spirit Sword formed from True Flame collided with Chi Xiao.

“Clang~! Sizzle~! Boom~!”

Divine wind shattered Cyan Thunder, True Flame scorched Chi Xiao.

The game character forced back Sikong Qian, once again transformed into escape light and distanced himself.

He seemed to be rapidly growing amid the battle.

His eyes continuously gleamed with life marks and Divine Wisdom Profound Light, studying and comprehending the opponent’s divine techniques, his body occasionally evolving new superpowers.

The Dao wound left by the Immortal Artifact on his right arm had already healed.

Plus with the [Endless Divine Sea], a battle of attrition meant nothing to the game character.

While escaping, the game character suddenly stopped.

[Jiang Mengli (frowning): You also sense something amiss? This space appears the same as the outside world but should be temporarily virtualized and not perfected. The terrain of your escape shows many repetitions, and able to trap us seamlessly, coupled with this effect… it should be the Celestial Origin Mirror, which is also an Immortal Artifact.]

Lin Qianxuan was speechless, how many Immortal Artifacts are there?

Is there really not even one for us?

As Jiang Mengli finished speaking, the void also rippled.

A gorgeously dressed woman in purple emerged.

[Yan Shu (slightly bending, performing ‘Zhi Li’): Yan Shu from Mirror Source Holy Land, greets both Immortal Monarchs.]

[Jiang Mengli (eyes slightly narrow): You also want the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade?]

[Yan Shu (shaking her head): Mirror Source Holy Land does not have an Immortal Monarch in residence, only possessing one Immortal Artifact. Daring not to covet the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade, it’s merely repaying a favor owed to Immortal Monarch Chu Yu.]

[Jiang Mengli (startled): Even the Immortal Monarch from the Southern Realm has come!]

[Yan Shu (shaking her head): Immortal Monarchs from the Ten Directions Realm have all arrived, Mingguang Immortal Monarch, the Hidden Heaven Divine Jade is too extraordinary, even if the Dragon Head were here, it might be difficult to hold it alone.]

[Jiang Mengli (smirking coldly): This statement you dare voice only after he has left, were he truly present, even if the ten Immortal Monarchs of this realm gathered, what could they do?]

[Yan Shu (sighing): But he is no longer here.]

Upon hearing, Jiang Mengli fell into rare silence.

The elder who protected her like a father and brother is now gone, leaving her reliant only upon herself.
