Chapter 267 Mo Yuan
He unleashed his full potential, successfully awakening and merging the demon soul.
Despite Mo Yuan's obstruction, Ling Xiuhan still completed the test with his own strength. The Demon Lord became more impressed with Ling Xiuhan and publicly announced that he would list him as a key training target, which made Mo Yuan's hatred for Ling Xiuhan even stronger.
After the Demon Lord publicly announced that Ling Xiu Han would be a key training target, the hatred in Mo Yuan's heart grew like weeds.
He looked at Ling Xiu Han standing beside the Demon Lord, accepting the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, but he felt no pain at all.
Mo Yuan gritted his teeth secretly and swore in his heart that he would find an opportunity to make Ling Xiu Han lose miserably and trample all the glory he had now obtained under his feet.
Ling Xiu Han could naturally feel Mo Yuan's hostility like a thorn in his back, but he just raised his eyes slightly, his eyes calm and unwavering, as if Mo Yuan's hatred was nothing more than an insignificant breeze to him.
He saluted the Demon Lord and said in a steady voice, "Thank you for your appreciation, Master Demon Lord. Xiu Han will do his best to live up to your expectations."
The Demon Lord nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand for him to leave.
When Ling Xiuhan was making his mark in the Demon Palace, Lan Yunyan, who was far away in the immortal sect, also embarked on her own journey of cultivation.
Since returning to the sect, Lan Yunyan has made a great ambition in her heart to forge ahead on the path of cultivating immortals, hoping that one day she can stand shoulder to shoulder with Ling Xiuhan, whether in this world of cultivating immortals or facing the unknown demonic calamity.
The sect that Lan Yunyan belongs to, Qingyun Sect, is located on the misty Lingxu Peak.
The peaks are filled with spiritual energy, rare and exotic animals often appear in the mountains and forests, and magical herbs and elixirs emit faint light in the cracks of the cliffs.
The buildings in the sect are arranged in an orderly manner, some are built among towering ancient trees, and some are beside clear springs and waterfalls. The pavilions and towers all have a spiritual charm.
Lan Yunyan would go to the training ground behind Lingxu Palace every morning to practice.
The martial arts training ground is paved with a kind of stone called "Spirit Jade White Stone". This kind of stone can absorb and store spiritual energy, making the concentration of spiritual energy in the martial arts training ground several times higher than that outside.
Lan Yunyan stood in the center of the martial arts arena, facing the rising sun, circulating her spiritual energy. She wore a pale blue ceremonial robe, embroidered with delicate spiritual patterns that shimmered with light as her spiritual energy flowed.
She started with the basic method of breathing in and out. She closed her eyes and concentrated, slowly inhaling the spiritual energy around her. The spiritual energy entered her mouth and nose like threads, slowly flowing through the meridians in her body. After a cycle, it was expelled from her pores.
As his cultivation deepened, Lan Yunyan began to practice Lingxu Sect's unique skill "Lingxu Sword Technique".
She drew the "Xinglan Sword" from her waist. The sword was as blue as the starry sky in the night sky. The hilt was inlaid with a blue spirit crystal that could amplify the power of the sword moves.
Lan Yunyan's body danced, and the sword moved with her. Sword energy flew across the sky above the martial arts field like a nimble dragon.
She first performed the opening move of the "Lingxu Sword Technique" - "The Appearance of Starlight". The tip of the sword lightly tapped, and several star-like sword energies flew into the distance, hitting the spiritual power target at the edge of the martial arts field. The spiritual power shield on the target rippled.
Then, she used the move "Gentle Breeze Shadow", her body moving as fast as the breeze, and the sword shadow formed a blue light curtain around her, making it difficult to distinguish her true body.
However, Lan Yunyan knew very well that relying solely on cultivation within the sect was far from enough. She needed to accumulate practical experience and obtain cultivation resources by completing various tasks.
So, she came to the Mission Pavilion of Qingyun Sect.
The Mission Pavilion is an ancient three-story pavilion with wooden doors and windows emitting a faint wood fragrance. The walls inside the pavilion are covered with mission scrolls, and each scroll is marked with the difficulty, requirements and rewards of the mission.
Lan Yunyan walked into the quest pavilion and scanned the numerous scrolls. She saw a quest titled "Exorcising the Evil Spirit in Spiritual Demon Valley," with a medium difficulty level.
The mission requires you to go to Lingyao Valley and eliminate a group of demons that have been causing harm in the valley recently. These demons often attack passing merchants and nearby villagers, robbing their property and sucking the essence of living beings.
The reward is a bottle of "Lingxu Pill", which can greatly enhance the spiritual power of the practitioner, and a medium-grade defensive magic weapon "Lingxi Soft Armor".
Lan Yunyan's heart moved, and she felt that this task was suitable for her current strength, so she reached out and took the task scroll.
On the way to the Spirit Demon Valley, Lan Yunyan passed through a dense spiritual forest.
The trees in the forest are tall and their branches are intertwined, so the sunlight can only shine through the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows.
There was a light mist in the forest, and from time to time, strange lights flashed in the mist, which were emitted by some spiritual plants and insects.
Lan Yunyan moved forward cautiously. She released her spiritual power to perceive and be alert to possible dangers around her.
Suddenly, a "ghost mink" jumped out from the tree next to it. The mink was snow-white all over, except for its eyes and the tip of its tail, which were black. It was extremely fast and pounced towards Lan Yunyan like a white lightning.
Lan Yunyan was prepared. She dodged the attack of the Spirit Shadow Marten by moving sideways. At the same time, she gently swung the Xinglan Sword in her hand, and a stream of sword energy slashed towards the Spirit Shadow Marten.
The spirit mink nimbly flipped in the air to avoid the sword energy, then pounced on it with its fangs and claws bared.
Seeing this, Lan Yunyan used the "Spiritual Cloud Locking Void" from the Lingxu Sword Technique. Several sword energies, like spiritual clouds, surrounded the Spirit Shadow Marten. The Spirit Shadow Marten rushed left and right, but was unable to break through the blockade of the sword energy.
Lan Yunyan took the opportunity to stab out with a sword, with the tip of the sword against Lingying Marten's throat, and Lingying Marten then surrendered obediently.
Lan Yunyan put away the Xinglan Sword and put the Lingying Marten into the storage bag. The fur and inner elixir of the Lingying Marten are precious materials for cultivation and cannot be wasted.
Finally, Lan Yunyan arrived at the Spirit Demon Valley. A strong demonic aura permeated the valley entrance, and the valley was eerie and terrifying, with bursts of strange roars coming from time to time.
Lan Yunyan took a deep breath, gripped the Xinglan Sword tightly, and walked into the Spirit Demon Valley. Shortly after entering the valley, she encountered a group of "shadow ghosts."
