In my cultivation journey, I completely crushed a group of chosen ones.

A man stepped forward: "I am Ye Ling, a disciple of the Yan Yang Divine Sect. Are you, fellow Daoist, Lu Shangxing of the Canglan Sword Sect?"

Lu Shangxing nodded: "It is indeed me. I think the demons should be nearby."

When the demons heard that humans knew of their existence, they no longer hid themselves.

The Shadow Enchantress is an extremely mysterious figure among the Shadow Clan, with a graceful figure and stunning beauty.

Clapping his hands, he said, "Humans are indeed clever. We, the Phantom Clan, pride ourselves on our intelligence, yet you saw through us so quickly. What a pity."

They all gripped their magical implements tightly.

Lu Shangxing didn't care at all: "No matter how powerful you are in the Phantom Clan, your cultivation will be suppressed here, and you won't be able to use it."

He then turned to the group and said, "You must be careful of their illusions; they are very difficult to discern."

The Shadow Enchantress, like a little fairy, swayed gracefully as she walked towards Lu Shang.

He spoke with a delicate, fragrant voice: "Little Immortal Master, you know so much. It must taste delicious."

Lu Shangxing thrust his sword forward, and the figure of Youying Meiji vanished like a wisp of green smoke, only to reappear as a human in the distance.

She glanced at the female cultivator beside her. She hadn't been to the human realm in a long time and needed to find a body to go back to.

Their gazes fell on Di Qingci, and also on Zhou Rujin, who was present.

With a radiant smile, she said, "You two look quite fit. How about I borrow you for a bit?" She looked at Zhou Rujin, who was standing close to her.

Zhou Rujin's eyes were icy cold, like an ice sculpture. As she looked at the hand reaching out to her, she slashed it with her sword.

Those around were astonished!

The Phantom Clan immediately attacked: "It is an honor for you that our elders have taken a liking to your bodies."

Di Qingci felt that her Asura Sword was already thirsting for blood, and she didn't care about the others.

A terrifying slash!

The power of Asura was terrifying, slashing towards the soul of the Phantom Clan.

They broke out in a cold sweat. Although they had no bodies, if their core was destroyed, they would die completely.

The group turned to deal with Di Qingci, a formidable enemy of the Phantom Clan, whom they could not let go.

Di Qingci laughed loudly: "Good timing!"

The Asura Sword glowed red, and layers of Asura power surged forth.

Di Qingci appeared in a flash, slashing down with a sword as fast as lightning.

A Phantom Clan member screamed in agony as his figure transformed into a streak of red light and vanished into the Asura Sword.

Di Qingci felt the Asura Sword become even stronger, and a surge of spiritual energy transformed from the Asura Sword flowed into his body.

Di Qingci squinted comfortably, realizing that the method for advancing was so simple.

Their eyes lit up with excitement; seeing the Phantom Clan was like seeing some precious treasure.

Blood Prison Soul-Locking Array!

One after another, soul-locking formations attacked the Phantom Clan.

Anyone who was locked up was swiftly killed by Di Qingci with his sword.

The others looked on in horror. Where did this ruthless person come from?

The Shadow Demoness's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "You actually dared to kill my people?"

Di Qingci immediately attacked with his sword.

Lu Shangxing immediately shouted, "Let's all attack together!"

Several people surrounded the Phantom Clan members, and Lu Shangxing's sword light pierced through the void, piercing through one of the Phantom Clan members with a single strike.

Di Qingci reacted swiftly, slashing the Asura Sword at a tiny patch of color.

The Phantom Clan screamed as their screams were absorbed by the Asura Sword.

Seeing this, the others all swung their swords and attacked, while Di Qingci used the Shura Sword to kill them from behind.

In the blink of an eye, only the Shadow Enchantress remained. Her expression was inscrutable. She waved her hand, put away the Enchanting Illusionary Light Beads, and tried to run away.

They all noticed her and attacked her.

Di Qingci thought that if he obtained the Enchanting Spirit Illusionary Light Pearl, his cultivation might increase greatly.

Asura Soul-Destroying Slash!

Gathering all the power in his body, he unleashed a devastating slash.

This strike was filled with boundless domineering power and ruthlessness.

With a wave of her hand, the Shadow Enchantress unleashed a series of ghostly lights, instantly repelling Di Qingci.

Zhou Rujin shouted, "Freeze for a thousand miles!"

Ice frost appeared, instantly freezing the path of the Shadow Enchantress.

Lu Shangxing was imposing.

One sword shatters the heavens!

It was like a giant pillar tilting down from the sky.

The Shadow Enchantress unleashed a series of giant shadows.

Di Qingci was petite and transformed into a wisp of light.

Asura's World-Destroying Slash!

The light emanating from the Asura Sword was dazzling, as if it could illuminate the entire world.

Emperor Qingci leaped up and struck with the force of Mount Tai crashing down.

Unable to dodge in time, the Shadow Enchantress spat out a mouthful of purple blood, which emitted a strange light and a special aura.

Lu Shangxing shouted, "Quickly, let's all attack together!"

Several people joined forces to kill the Shadow Enchantress.

A cold glint flashed in Di Qingci's eyes.

There is no hope of survival!

The Asura Sword flashed red light as it struck the core of the Shadow Enchantress.

The Shadow Demoness could no longer maintain her form in an instant, and even as a wisp of smoke, she could be seen trembling.

Di Qingci leaped high into the air, sweeping across like a raging storm, and pierced her core charm with a single sword.

The Shadow Demoness let out a weak scream and then disappeared.

Along with the Enchanting Illusionary Light Pearl, it was absorbed into the Asura Sword, and in the blink of an eye, Di Qingci's cultivation advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Lu Shangxing's eyes flickered slightly: "Is it Jinghua Immortal?"

Di Qingci was somewhat surprised. She had been thinking that since she was using the Asura Sword, she should give it a name. After much thought, she came up with the name Jinghua.

Does Lu Shangxing possess mind-reading abilities?

"That is indeed me. Senior brother, you may call me by my name if you do not mind."

She's a twelve-year-old child, yet she's a fairy.

Lu Shangxing was very friendly and readily agreed: "Then I'll take the liberty of calling you junior sister."

Lu Shangxing remembered his past life, which stirred up storms and shook the world, its brilliance shining brightly and its charm enduring. Frost could not conceal his graceful bearing, and he stood proudly against the heavens, unrestrained in his madness.

This is the origin of the name "Jinghua" (惊华); she was simply unbeatable among her peers.

Even Pei Jinshu and Su Ningyan, who are known as women of destiny, are no match for her, so he has no desire to be her enemy.

Although Zhou Rujin was aloof, she still stepped forward to greet Di Qingci: "Zhou Rujin, a disciple of Xuanbing Palace."

Di Qingci was puzzled. When did she become so popular? "Just call me Jinghua."

Seeing that the others were ignoring him, Ye Ling spoke up: "I am Ye Ling, and I am a friendly fellow Daoist."

Seeing that none of them mentioned the treasure, Di Qingci said, "You all have your business to attend to, I'll be going now."

They disappeared from their sight in a few leaps.

They glanced at each other, then went off to seek their own opportunities.

Zhou Rujin didn't ask for a share of the treasure because she had no use for it and would rather befriend someone destined to become a strong person.

Lu Shangxing knew about Jinghua in his previous life; once something was in her hands, he shouldn't even think about getting it back.

Besides, this thing was of no help to his cultivation. Thinking of his mortal enemy, he suddenly felt a little schadenfreude.

In his past life, he always provoked Jinghua. When she got angry, he didn't care about her identity and would just shoot her through the heart with an arrow.

His father came later, but he couldn't save him.

I wonder if they will be enemies in this life.

Emperor Qingci headed towards the central government, occasionally encountering figures along the way.

A day later, a huge lake appeared before Di Qingci's eyes, its waters crystal clear and shimmering.

On the lake, lotus flowers bloom in abundance, each one exuding a rich spiritual aura.

Beside the lake lies an ancient city.
