At this moment, Jiang Chuan suddenly laughed, and Xiu Xian, seeing this, asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Chuan calmly replied, "I think this battle is actually meaningless. We are all working towards the same goal, so why should we kill each other?"

Xiu Xian was silent for a while, then slowly said, "You're right, but our different ideologies have led to our conflict."

At this moment, the dust gradually settled, and sunlight shone through the collapsed roof onto the ruins of the ancestral hall.

Jiang Chuan and Xiu Xian could both sense the determination and persistence in each other's eyes.

Jiang Chuan sighed and said, "In that case, we can only stop here. Once you've recovered your strength, we'll have a proper final showdown."

Xiu Xian nodded in agreement.

The two men simultaneously put away their weapons and went their separate ways.

This fierce battle ultimately ended in a draw, but it allowed both of them to gain a deeper understanding of each other.

"Why did you let him go? You only needed to fight Xiu Xian for a while longer, and the outcome would be decided." Ling Juan released her defenses, flew to Jiang Chuan's side, and asked.

“It’s dawn, and the Qingyun Sect’s guards are starting to go to work one after another. If I don’t leave now, I won’t have another chance,” Jiang Chuan explained, straightening his clothes.

"Moreover, Xiu Xian's strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

“I fought against him for a while.”

"I discovered that his strength far surpasses mine."

"If the fight continues, I'm afraid I won't stand a chance," Jiang Chuan added.

Ling Juan remained silent for a while, seemingly pondering Jiang Chuan's words.

Then, it sighed and said, "You are both at the late Earth Rank, how could he be stronger than you? Could it be because he cultivated demonic cultivation, which gives him an advantage over others of the same level?"

“I think that’s right.” Jiang Chuan nodded slightly. “Xiu Xian cultivates demonic cultivation, which makes his power much stronger than other late-stage Earth Rank cultivators.”

"Demonic cultivation is an extremely dangerous form of cultivation."

"They entered the Dao through demonic means, using demonic power to break through cultivation bottlenecks. The sheer power they possess is truly astonishing," Ling Juan said.

"However, this kind of cultivation method..."

"It also made them pay a heavy price."

Ling Juan sighed, "Their souls will be corrupted by demons, gradually losing themselves, and eventually becoming demons who only know how to kill."

Jiang Chuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I've heard about it, but everyone has their own choices, and we have no right to interfere."

Ling Juan nodded and said, "You're right. Everyone has their own choices, and as long as they are willing to bear the consequences, we have no right to interfere."

"By the way, Jiang Chuan, I just watched your fight with Xiu Xian."

"You had several opportunities to kill him."

"But it was just a little short."

"He was fully revived with the help of the demonic cultivators."

"So all your subsequent attacks were ineffective."

Ling Juan seemed to be deep in thought, and said again, "You lack a powerful skill, a skill that can kill your opponent."

"I know, I want it too, but what can I do?" Jiang Chuan shrugged helplessly.

"Perhaps you could try practicing some special spells."

Lingjuan raised her head, her gaze piercing through the clouds, as if she were pondering something.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes. "A special spell? What kind of spell?"

Ling Juan pondered for a moment and said, "As you know, the path to becoming stronger requires not only great power, but also wisdom. In your battle with Xiu Xian just now, although you had many opportunities, you always missed by a hair's breadth. This is because you lack a deep understanding of your enemy."

Jiang Chuan remained silent. He knew that Ling Juan was telling the truth. Although he was not weak, he was indeed lacking in combat strategy and skills.

"So I've decided to let you learn the Supreme Mythical Sword Technique ahead of time, so you'll have more strength to protect us." Ling Juan rubbed her little hands together and then rubbed her chubby cheeks.

"Didn't you say you were just a fragment? How can you teach me?" Jiang Chuan didn't understand.

"Hmph, you little rascal, you're really short-sighted."

Ling Juan smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Although I am just a fragment, what you see is only my surface. In reality, I contain endless wisdom and power, but they are sealed away."

Jiang Chuan was somewhat confused by what he heard.

But he knew.

The words spoken by the spirit scroll must have a profound meaning.

“Then let’s start from the basics.” Ling Juan said, her finger tracing a strange path in the air, countless runes flashing and appearing in the air before slowly merging into Jiang Chuan’s body.

“This won’t do,” Li Yi said, walking up to Jiang Chuan. “This is Qingyun Sect’s territory after all. Studying here will only cause unnecessary trouble. We need to find a quiet place.”

Ling Juan stopped what she was doing and said with some distress, "I can create a space, but I need a lot of energy."

"Here, this might be helpful to you." Li Yi handed a bottle of beverage to Ling Juan.

Ling Juan took the drink, paused slightly, and then smiled, "This thing can help me?"

"Believe me."

"This drink contains a lot of energy."

“That’s enough for you to create a quiet space,” Li Yi said with a smile.

Lingjuan opened the bottle cap, took a sip, and immediately felt a warm current surge from her throat to her whole body, as if every cell in her body was cheering. She looked at Li Yi in surprise, "What exactly is this?"

"This is an energy drink that I specially made."

"It contains the energy of various elements."

"It can help you quickly restore your physical strength and magic power." Li Yi's lips curled slightly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Juan's eyes as she gave Li Yi a deep look. "This drink is very important to me."

"Don't mention it, we're all in this together, it's only right that we help each other." Li Yi's beautiful eyes flickered.

Ling Juan closed her eyes, formed hand seals, and began to absorb the energy from the drink.

It felt as if it were in an endless ocean of energy, absorbing endless energy, and its body and mind were greatly satisfied.

Those originally irreversible damages actually underwent small-scale repairs under the nourishment of these beverages.

Lingjuan continued to absorb energy with her eyes closed. She felt the energy flowing through her body, repairing her damage. This energy seemed to have a life of its own, traveling through Lingjuan's body, repairing every damaged cell, and making Lingjuan's body stronger.

As energy is absorbed.

Ling Juan felt her condition continuously improving.

Its strength, speed, and reaction speed are all increasing.

This feeling filled it with confidence.

It believes it will soon be back to its best condition.

Not only that.

Ling Juan also felt that her spiritual level had been elevated.

Its spirit has become more resilient. It can remain calm and composed in the face of external interference and pressure.

It understands that this is the result of energy nourishment.

Coming to her senses, Ling Juan looked Li Yi up and down, then glanced at Jiang Chuan, and said, "Jiang Chuan, you keep her with you because she's good at taking care of people?"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Yes, Ling Juan. She is not only good at taking care of people, but her cooking skills are also excellent. She always brings me warmth and strength when I need it most."

Upon hearing this, Ling Juan's eyes flashed with envy.

But it quickly adjusted its emotions and said to Li Yi, "Then you are very lucky to have met such a good person as Jiang Chuan."

"Not at all, I've always regarded him as my older brother, it's only natural for me to take care of him," Li Yi said tenderly.

Jiang Chuan looked at Li Yi, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Their relationship has long transcended that of ordinary friends; they are an indispensable part of each other's lives.

"I'm about to begin casting the spell. No one can disturb me while I'm casting, as it will affect my concentration." Ling Juan made a hand seal, and a screen of spiritual energy enveloped her fingertips, emitting a faint halo as she moved.

Jiang Chuan and Li Yi each took a few steps back, leaving more space for the spirit scroll.

The surrounding air seemed to become heavy due to the spell of the spirit scroll.

An invisible sense of pressure made Jiang Chuan and Li Yi clench their fists nervously.

Ling Juan is concentrating her mind, casting a powerful spell.

Suddenly, Ling Juan's hand seals changed faster, and the halo at her fingertips became even brighter. A powerful spiritual energy surged from Ling Juan's body and spread outwards. Jiang Chuan and Li Yi felt the power of that energy and were shocked.

These spiritual energies were like construction workers, building a house brick by brick.

The flow of spiritual energy was highly orderly, as if following some mysterious and ancient law. It intertwined in the air, forming complex patterns that gradually created a wonderful picture before Jiang Chuan and Li Yi's eyes.

During this process, Lingjuan seems to have become a conductor.

These spiritual energies were guided to arrange and combine in an orderly manner, eventually forming vibrant structures that constantly changed, sometimes resembling the outline of a house, and sometimes transforming into a strange creature.

Li Yi stared intently at the scene.

My heart was filled with wonder.

She hadn't expected that the spirit scroll could create such a wonderful phenomenon.

As time went by, the process of building up spiritual energy gradually came to an end.

Finally, in a flash of light...

A complete building appeared before them.

This building has a unique shape and is full of mystery, as if it were a gateway to another world.

Ling Juan wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking at Jiang Chuan and Li Yi on the ground, and said, "Let's go in."

They nodded, and with Jiang Chuan's help, Li Yi appeared in a virtual world where all she could see was grassland.

There were cattle and sheep grazing on these grasslands. If Jiang Chuan hadn't seen that this was a space constructed by the spirit scroll, he would have thought he had come to the grasslands.

Lingjuan watched them go in and then closed the door that separated them from the outside world.

"How's the space I've created? The scenes here can change at will depending on my mood." Ling Juan shrugged.

Jiang Chuan looked around and nodded in praise: "It's really realistic, just like a real grassland. Ling Juan, your ability is truly amazing."

Li Yi also exclaimed, "Yes, I can feel the vitality here, as if I am truly in nature."

"This is more than just a visual treat."

"You can run and play freely here, and even feel the breeze on the grassland." Ling Juan's entire demeanor became even more feminine.

They began to stroll across the grassland, enjoying the fun this virtual world brought them. They chatted, and their laughter echoed across the grassland.

Suddenly, Ling Juan stopped and stared into the distance.

It stretched out its hand and pointed to the distant mountains. "Look, aren't those mountains strange?"

Jiang Chuan and Li Yi looked in the direction Ling Juan was pointing.

They discovered that the shape of the mountain range was indeed somewhat unusual, as if it were hiding some secret.

“It is the lock that seals the power within me.” Ling Juan looked at Jiang Chuan. “Only if you help me unlock this lock can I teach you the Supreme Mythical Sword Technique.”

Jiang Chuan frowned and looked at the spirit scroll. "A lock that seals power? What should we do then?"

Ling Juan's eyes narrowed slightly. "The only solution to this lock is to find a matching key, and that key is hidden in that strange mountain range."

Li Yi interjected, "Then let's hurry up and search; maybe we can find other useful things."

Heading towards that mysterious mountain range, Jiang Chuan heard the howling of magical beasts as soon as he reached its foot.

"Everyone be careful, the monsters are the guardians of this mountain range."

“They possess great power and intelligence,” the spirit scroll reminded them.

Jiang Chuan cautiously walked deeper into the mountains.

At the same time, they remained alert to any movement around them.

"Can you sense the location of the key to unlock your seal within the mountains?" Jiang Chuan asked Ling Juan, frowning slightly.

"unconfirmed."

“My sensory abilities are limited here.”

“We cannot accurately sense the location of the key,” Ling Juan replied.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan frowned even more deeply.

The mountains are so vast, how long would it take to find anything by searching aimlessly like this?
"Then what should we do?" Li Yi asked, her eyes scanning the surroundings, wary of any potential dangers.

"We can only continue deeper into the mountains, hoping to find some clues."

The Spirit Scroll replied, its gaze also searching for possible clues within the mountains.

Jiang Chuan nodded, knowing that this was their only option.

After walking for a short while, Jiang Chuan sensed that there were magical beasts performing some kind of ritual around them.

Jiang Chuan and his group quietly hid in the grass, their eyes fixed on what lay ahead.

They saw a group of magical beasts forming a circle around a huge magic circle that emitted a mysterious light.

The monsters seemed to be chanting an ancient incantation, their voices deep and melodious.

A powerful magical aura surrounds their bodies, giving people a sense of oppression.

"What are these magical beasts doing?" Jiang Chuan asked Ling Juan.

“It must be a ceremony to pray for a child,” Ling Juan said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan frowned slightly. He had never heard of monsters behaving this way before.

"Seeking a child?"

"But I've never heard of such a custom among monsters," he asked, puzzled. (End of Chapter)
