"Ancestor Tu?" Lu Ran pinched the brim of the bamboo hat with his two fingers and slightly raised his eyes to look up.
"You're back, young Lu." Tu Feng looked at the valiant young man, then saw two straw-clad steel-faced men emerge from within the mirror.
"Ancestor Tu, enjoying the scenery here?" Lu Ran seemed to be in a good mood, joking.
"Waiting for you." Tu Feng's expression was solemn.
Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully, then turned and said, "You two go rest."
"Yes."
The two Heavenly Generals departed in succession.
At Heaven's Edge, no one else was present, Tu Feng spoke again: "Young Lu, was this trip to the Heavenly Realm smooth for you?"
"Very smooth."
"Oh?" Tu Feng couldn't help but feel surprised, although he hadn't interacted much with Lu Ran, he understood that this was a very reliable young man.
Smooth we can understand.
Very smooth?
Does this mean young Lu is already able to roam the Heavenly Realm Battlefield with his two Executioners?
Lu Ran didn't respond again, instead, observing the solemn-faced Great Martial Monk, he asked: "Ancestor Tu, did you wait for me here on purpose?"
Tu Feng came back to his senses and said gravely: "The Divine called me back."
"Ah?" Lu Ran was somewhat stunned. "Ancestor Tu, while in the Mountain Realm, can you receive sound transmissions from the Martial Monk?"
"No." Tu Feng shook his head immediately, explaining, "It's just that in the past few days, I cannot perform spells."
Lu Ran understood in his heart.
Evidently, this is the Divine Monk conveying a message to the disciple.
Think about it, Tu Feng has descended upon Holy Spirit Mountain for several months now, such a Heavenly Realm disciple naturally should return to toil rather than enjoy leisure in the Mountain Realm.
Lu Ran pondered for a while, then said: "Then why don't we fulfill his elder wish and return to the Heavenly Realm?"
Tu Feng remained silent, waiting for more to be said.
Sure enough, Lu Ran looked up again: "Ancestor Tu, any favored Stone Sculpture?"
Tu Feng's expression did not change, but his naturally drooping right hand did slightly tighten.
Who could remain indifferent in the face of an invitation to become a god?
Lu Ran pretended not to see anything, continued: "Ancestor Tu knows, my Martial Monk Stone Sculpture is already bound to He Qifeng, you joining my Ran Sect, cannot be a Martial Monk disciple anymore. Unless..."
"Unless?"
"Unless you go to venerate He Qifeng as a Martial Monk believer. But if you do that, you'll not only lose ranks but also the identity of Stone Sculpture Inheritor."
As Lu Ran's words fell, he shook his head: "So, Ancestor Tu, just tell me if there's a Stone Sculpture you have in mind."
Lu Ran has always remembered the debt of gratitude from Ran Sect to Tu Feng.
If he hadn't specially looked for He Qifeng, informed about the God Demon Sect Executioners attack, the forces of Ran Sect scattered all over Holy Spirit Mountain couldn't have retreated so fast.
Each destroyed sect informed Lu Ran of narrowly escaping a catastrophe!
Once Tu Feng knew Lu Ran's abilities, he even diligently guarded his surroundings, whether redeeming past mistakes or resisting the Divine, he was a fellow traveler!
"Young Lu... Sect Leader." Tu Feng knelt on one knee, changed his title, and slowly bowed his head: "Everything will follow the Sect Leader's arrangements."
Lu Ran opened his mouth but swallowed back his words.
After all, many Divine Sculptures and Evil Sculptures in the Sculpture Garden already belonged to others. If Tu Feng requested Qiang Xiu or something like North Wind, Lu Ran wouldn't have the capacity to provide.
"Whew~"
A sea breeze blew by, brushing against Lu Ran's clothes.
The place at Heaven's Edge was silent, with one standing and one kneeling, the scene seemed frozen in time.
Tu Feng, this former Peak Master of Wuji Peak, a man who had weathered countless storms, felt somewhat anxious at this moment.
His fate and future path relied on the words Lu Ran was about to speak!
Lu Ran suddenly asked: "Ancestor Tu, what do you think of the combination of Prisoner Demon and Prison Sky Demon?"
"Prisoner Demon, Prison Sky Demon." Tu Feng muttered to himself, his mind immediately traversing the related skills of one god and one demon.
Lu Ran nodded: "Prisoner Demon possesses the Blood Fury Garb; in the future, Ancestor Tu will be able to fly."
Tu Feng was taken aback.
Then he recalled the battle above the Forbidden City.
Lu Ran had stolen his Xuanhuang Staff and taken his shoes off, leaving him to fall from the sky...
Thinking of this, Tu Feng couldn't help but laugh silently: "Haha."
Lu Ran laughed too, though his words were no longer in jest: "Peak Master Tu accustomed to being a Martial Monk believer, having Three Heads and Six Arms.
I cannot give you three heads, but I can offer you eight arms!"
Eight arms, huh?
Tu Feng restrained his smile, pondering quietly.
Lu Ran continued: "The Prisoner Demon-Prison Sky Demon combination, ferocious in close combat, the Prison Sky Clan can refine and absorb enemy Divine Power, bind the souls of the deceased.
This is a technique many God Demons do not have, and is the magical treasure for Ancestor Tu's growth after becoming a stone sculpture."
After battling in the Heavenly Realm, Lu Ran had enriched himself with many knowledge points.
Evil Technique·Prison Heaven Fire, can ignite black flames on chains.
At River Grade, this fire can only incinerate Divine Power within enemies; Sea Grade Fire can refine and extract Divine Power from enemies; Sea Grade Fire is even more formidable, capable of scorching the enemy's soul, leaving them in agony.
Heavenly Grade·Prison Heaven Fire, although unable to directly extract a living person's soul, can upon the enemy's death, break dimensions with burning chains and firmly bind the soul.
Over the past month, Lu Ran has seen quite a few Prisoner Demon-Prison Sky Demon combinations on the Heavenly Realm Battlefield.
Tu Feng spoke slowly: "The Prison Sky Clan possesses the Power of Lao Tian."
Lu Ran praised: "Ancestor Tu indeed strikes to the heart of the matter."
His expedition in the Heavenly Realm made Lu Ran aware of the importance of power!
The defensive power of the Faceless Jade Venerable was truly excessive! To inflict damage upon such clansmen, one must either wield sharp weapons or possess power surpassing one's peers.
Of course, it's best if both conditions are met simultaneously!
Only then can one be like Lu Ran, disarming an enemy's leg in just one confrontation.
If you meet only one condition, then a duel with the Faceless Jade Venerable is inevitable, striving with numerous attacks to inflict harm.
"Tu Feng, thank the Sect Leader for his gracious gift!" Tu Feng lowered his head even further, speaking gravely.
Lu Ran hurriedly helped the Great Martial Monk up, unavoidably feeling the bulging muscles.
What a guy~
This Great Martial Monk, his clothes were packed with stuff!
What a coincidence, the Prison Sky Demon is also a muscle-bound guy.
However, speaking of which, Tuo Feng is clearly a martial monk believer, why not shave his head? Wouldn't he look more like the Prison Sky Demon then?
"Smack!" Lu Ran couldn't help it, and slapped Tuo Feng's big arm.
Tuo Feng: ?
Lu Ran suddenly looked at the burly man and confirmed, "Senior Tuo, you call me Sect Leader and join my Ran Sect, right?"
Tuo Feng immediately nodded.
Such a significant matter, how could it be taken lightly?
Lu Ran agreed, and unceremoniously pinched the big arm of the great martial monk, playing with the newly acquired "muscle-bound guy."
Good, good!
Lu Ran was very pleased.
This is the Peak Master of a first-class divine sect, truly a dragon among men!
Following me, your talent and ambition will definitely not be buried!
Tuo Feng: "..."
He seems to understand why Lu Ran had that question earlier.
Before today, Lu Ran treated Tuo Feng with utmost respect, without the slightest rudeness.
Unlike now, his hands are restless...
"Uh." Lu Ran stepped back half a step and activated the Prison Sky Demon Stone Sculpture.
Within the Sculpture Garden, Deng Yuxiang was already in the process of advancing, and now came another big guy, which made his expression look quite unsightly.
However, time costs dearly, so bear with it!
[Chou Nu, come to Heaven's Edge.]
"Swish~"
The steel-faced person with a bamboo hat immediately appeared: "Young Master."
"I need to return to the Heavenly Realm and create the illusion of Tuo Heavenly General's death in the Heavenly Realm. I'm now activating the Transmission Mirror, quickly investigate," Lu Ran commanded.
"Yes!"
Lu Ran practiced the spell while saying, "Oh, Tuo Heavenly General has been forbidden by the deities to cast spells.
It's just too justified that he's dead...
Tuo Feng couldn't help shake his head and laugh.
He undoubtedly sensed that Lu Ran's attitude towards him was different, clearly friendlier.
Additionally, Tuo Heavenly General?
Within the Ran Sect, it seems there isn't such a rank as Heavenly General?
The Ancient Bronze Mirror tore through space and brutally appeared within the Heavenly Realm at a Stone Peak, and Yan Chou immediately entered the mirror to investigate. It took a full half a minute for him to poke his head out from the mirror: "Young Master, everything is safe!"
"Let's go." Lu Ran beckoned Tuo Feng to enter the mirror together.
For Lu Ran, the whole process was already as smooth as could be.
Even though the Prison Sky Demon's Stone Sculpture was still trembling, Lu Ran still pulled the remnant shadow of the Evil God out, signed a contract with Tuo Feng, and together they broke the master-servant bond to ensure safe passage.
Just a few minutes later, the trio returned to Heaven's Edge.
"Tuo Heavenly General, we can talk about your fusion with the Prison Sky Demon Evil Sculpture in a couple of days." Lu Ran patted Tuo Feng's bulging big arm, "Let me take a breather first."
"Yes, Sect Leader." Tuo Feng replied in a deep voice.
In fact, he was still somewhat bewildered at this moment.
In just a few minutes, he had completely freed himself from the deities' restrictions, not only changed sects, but also became a fake god.
"Dismissed."
Lu Ran casually said, his silhouette flickered, appearing in the bedroom of Tianya Residence.
"Hmm..." He took off the Blood Crystal Mask, inhaled deeply, and let out a comfortable nasal sound.
His head buzzed, nearly killing him!
The familiar scent allowed him to briefly forget the pain.
However, the fragrance from the Immortal Jasmine Tree evidently couldn't compare to someone else's healing effect.
Lu Ran wandered around the bedroom and study but didn't see anyone's figure.
Turning back, he suddenly noticed a charm shadow standing at the study door.
"Master, you're back," Yan Shuangzi said softly.
"Where is my lady?"
"The lady is still in the seclusion room."
"Ah?"
"The lady has already advanced to the Sea Realm Peak, just during Martial Emperor's advancement, but she hasn't come out of the seclusion room yet..."
"Oh." Lu Ran responded, his silhouette flickering again.
Below the bedroom, in a pitch-black seclusion room.
A kneeling and cultivating figure suddenly trembled slightly, and instantly eight Golden Jade Stone Plates spread out within her body.
"Ding~dong~"
The Golden Jade Stone Plates touched the Water Flow Armor, producing sounds like gold and jade striking.
Very pleasing to the ear.
However, the peak-level defensive techniques of the Sea Grade could not move the person in front.
"I."
The familiar voice paused Jiang Ruyi's lifted hand in mid-air.
In the darkness, a warm hand covered onto hers, holding the cool slender hand gently downward.
"Oh." Jiang Ruyi only felt a weight in her embrace, and with the faint light emitted by the Golden Jade Stone Plates, she looked at his side profile.
Her cold and indifferent eyes gradually melted.
The youth in the bamboo hat lay sideways on the ground, his face buried into her embrace, resting on her lap.
A soft knee pillow.
A faint jasmine fragrance.
Heavenly Realm, Mountain Realm, Human World...
Home is where the heart finds peace.
