Lu Xiaoran :”…”

“Are you hoping that I’ll die early?”

“Uh… No, I made a mistake. What I meant was… in the future, in case Master is no longer by our side…”

“Stop talking nonsense. Moreover, even if you want to rely on a woman, you don’t have to go to your little junior sister, right? You two even belong to two different races. Do you really think you would feel comfortable hugging a cold body every night? She’s a zombie, after all. Most importantly, aren’t you afraid that you’ll be skinned by her tiger teeth?”

“Hiss ~! Master is right. In that case, I think I should chase after Junior Sister Wuxia.”

Lu Xiaoran :”…”

This Lige was simply useless.

“You have to rise up. You’re the Eldest Senior Brother of Zhishui Peak. How can you be defeated because of a moment of disappointment?”

“Master, it’s really not that I’m not working hard enough. You know how hard I work. However, you don’t know how uncomfortable it is for my cultivation to increase slowly. That feeling of being unable to catch up to others no matter how hard I chase is really too disappointing.”

Lu Xiaoran sighed faintly.

Looks like it was impossible to increase Yun Lige’s talent.

He decided to use another method.

Speaking of which, he seemed to have obtained a Beast Control Divine Art from the small gift bag this time. It should be used to control beasts.

It should be good for Lige to learn it.

He did not need talent. As long as he could summon a group of powerful divine beasts for his use, he could still become stronger.

However, Li Ge was only an ordinary person now. Without the protection of luck, he definitely could not learn the divine technique.

It was also impossible for Lu Xiaoran to give him the Golden Luck Dragon. Luck was too important. Moreover, the effects of the Golden Luck Dragon could not be simultaneously applied to both him and his disciple. After his disciple used it, his own luck would not increase.

It was too wasteful to give it to Lige. Even if he did not use it, he would at least give it to Changsheng or Tianyuan. After all, the two of them already had divine souls.

Wuxia was also not bad. She already had an egg in her body and could be considered to have half a divine soul.

Forget it, why not give him the divine beast egg first and let him learn how to hatch the divine beast egg. After hatching the divine beast, it could even help him fight.

In the future, it would not be too late for him to learn the Beast Control Divine Art after his cultivation reached the God Realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoran took out the divine beast egg and handed it to Yun Lige.

“Don’t be discouraged. I’ve always thought very highly of you. Back then, I also got here step by step. I’ll give you this egg. You have to use it well. It can increase your combat strength.”

Sensing the aura emitted from the egg, Yun Lige’s eyes immediately turned red.

How could he not tell that this egg was extraordinary?

“Master… I… I’m already so useless, but you’re still so good to me. I don’t know what to say.”

Lu Xiaoran smiled faintly and said, “You’re my disciple, so I naturally can’t give up on you. Moreover, you’re the Eldest Senior Brother. You have to set an example for your junior brothers and sisters. In the future, you have to cultivate diligently and not lead your junior brothers and sisters astray.”

Yun Lige nodded and said with a solemn expression,

“Master, why don’t I cut it off and cultivate wholeheartedly in the future?”

Lu Xiaoran immediately felt his legs tighten.

“There’s no need for that. It’s best not to cut off your flesh casually. It’s fine as long as you have a firm will. With your determination, I believe you will definitely succeed.”

“Alright! I’ll go cultivate now.”

“Go, go.”

“Yes.”

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand, and Yun Lige turned around and entered the Mountain and River State Painting.

Yun Lige exhaled and said, “I’m already a fifth level Shattering Void Realm expert now. I can let my soul consciousness cultivate the cultivation technique on its own. Now, I should deal with this egg first to increase my strength.”

Thinking of this, Yun Lige immediately took out a Martial Monarch Realm spear.

…

Lu Xiaoran was also making sufficient preparations. First, he set up a sealing formation outside the Imperial City. Once the enemies came, they could forget about leaving.

He had to get rid of the root of the problem.

In addition, he also had to set up teleportation array formations on his disciples’ clothes.

This way, they could teleport over at any time or he could teleport to their location himself

After arranging all of this, Lu Xiaoran could also get them to travel to their respective battlefields.

As he was setting up, Lu Xiaoran suddenly felt a popping sound from his body, making him immediately dumbfounded.

“Eh? I broke through?”

He was puzzled. How did he break through? He did not cultivate. His disciples had only just increased their cultivation. It was impossible for them to increase their cultivation greatly in such a short period of time.

If not for a huge increase in their cultivation, it would be impossible for him to break through.

“Wang Cai.”

“Coming, coming, Master, I’m here.”

“Show me the cultivation information panels of the disciples.”

“Alright, it’s being generated for Master.”

When Lu Xiaoran saw the information panels of the disciples, he was instantly petrified.

Slap!

It was even to the extent that the Mountain and River State Painting in his hand had been thrown to the ground.

What did he see?

Yun Lige had actually increased from the fifth level of the Shattering Void Realm to the tenth level of the Essence Realm. Just like Fang Tianyuan, he was only a step away from stepping into the King Realm.

“What’s wrong with this guy? Why has his cultivation increased so much all of a sudden? He directly increased by fifteen realm levels. It shouldn’t be this exaggerated, right?”

“Wait, something seems to be wrong.”

Lu Xiaoran immediately teleported into the Mountain and River State Painting.

Yun Lige was sitting cross-legged on the ground and meditating to cultivate. Beside him was a pile of shattered divine beast eggshell.

Lu Xiaoran’s face instantly twitched fiercely.

This useless thing.

He had ruined such a good divine beast egg.

If he hatched a divine beast, its cultivation would definitely not be low. At the very least, it could accompany him in the current continent and be awe-inspiring.

Even in the Immortal World, it was still a considerable support combat strength!

As if sensing Lu Xiaoran’s aura, Yun Lige immediately woke up from his meditation. After seeing this scene, he instantly woke up. The moment he saw Lu Xiaoran, his eyes immediately lit up.

“Master, I really love you to death. You’re right. No matter how poor my talent is or how trashy my luck is, at least I still have you! As long as you’re by my side, I’ll always have hope of becoming stronger. You’re my luck and talent!”

Lu Xiaoran :”…”

“Actually, the thing you just ate was a divine beast egg. If you hatch it, you can obtain a small divine beast. I estimate that its attack power will at least be above the Saint Realm. Moreover, as it gradually matures, its strength in the future will very likely surpass that of a Martial Monarch Realm expert. And now, it has been eaten by you. In the end, you only increased your strength from the fifth level of the Shattering Void Realm to the tenth level of the Essence Realm.”

Yun Lige :”…”

The flames that had just lit up in his heart were instantly splashed with cold water.

How could he not tell the difference between a divine beast and fifteen realm levels?

What a loss!

What a big loss!

“Master, do you still have any more divine beast eggs? Can you give me another one?”

“No, I only had one.”

Yun Lige :”…”

“Are you alright?”

“It’s fine. I’ll be fine after crying for a while.”

Lu Xiaoran sighed faintly.

Lige had missed another opportunity to rise.

After eating the egg, his talent would not increase. In the future, his cultivation would still increase slowly.

If he did not eat it, he would at least have a powerful bodyguard and fighter after hatching a divine beast.

Forget it. Perhaps this was fate.

He was destined to fail.

He sensed that it was about time for them to leave. It was also time for them to rush to their respective battlefields. He then used his consciousness to summon all the disciples.

“Greetings, Master.”

Everyone cupped their hands and bowed to Lu Xiaoran.

Lu Xiaoran helped Ji Wuxia up and couldn’t help but ask, “Master, why is Eldest Senior Brother so sad? Could it be that he angered you and was punished by you?”

“It has nothing to do with me. He just felt like crying. Let’s not talk about this. The time for the battle is almost here. Hurry up and rush to your respective battlefields. Otherwise, if you arrive late, Nalan Hongyu and the others might end up destroying the Heaven Demon Sect and the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.”

“Yes!”

Everyone replied and left.

Yun Lige, Ji Wuxia, and Fang Tianyuan headed to the Heaven Demon Sect.

Li Changsheng and Zhuge Ziqiong went to the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

As for Lu Xiaoran, he guarded the Imperial City’s headquarters.

He had already prepared 2358 kinds of coffins for Nalan Ruyu.

The other party had found two hot shots that had the aura of protagonists to kill him.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoran made up his mind.

He decided to play the great villain for once and let the other party know the dignity of a great villain is not something anyone can provoke.

…

Time passed quickly, and the night passed in the blink of an eye.

The second day arrived. When the morning light in the east pierced the sky, it also meant that the date of the battle had officially begun.

Outside the Heaven Demon Sect, three figures arrived as promised.

It was Yun Lige and the other two.

The three of them stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the peak from afar, their eyes revealing a deep expression.

“It’s been a thousand years. I, Fang Tianyuan, have finally returned.”

The air was silent.

Yun Lige: “???”

Ji Wuxia: “???”

After being silent for a while, Ji Wuxia finally said, “Junior Brother, isn’t this a little too exaggerated?”

Fang Tianyuan took a deep breath and said with a solemn gaze, “Not at all. This time, I have to kill Fang Aotian.”

Yun Lige and Lu Xiaoran’s bodies trembled. Sensing Fang Tianyuan’s determination, they immediately could not help but praise repeatedly in their hearts.

They would definitely win!

This time, they would definitely win!

Fang Aotian would definitely die this time!

Moreover, they would also protect the Heaven Demon Sect from Fang Aotian.

However!

Just as the two of them were thinking this, an extremely powerful beam suddenly shot down from the sky without any warning. It bombarded the Heaven Demon Sect accurately.

Boom!

In an instant, the Heaven Demon Sect was enveloped by a flame in front of the three of them.
