Chapter 405: This Time It's a Sure Thing

The Teleportation Technique of the Curse Mirror Demon Clan, Mirror Blossom Moon, had a maximum teleportation distance of 100 kilometers in the Jiang Pinshi region.

Lu Ran repeatedly opened the Floor Mirror, bringing Deng Yuxiang to the edge of the Snow Forest.

Standing on top of a high mountain, looking north, the landscape was covered in white snow as far as the eye could see.

Looking south, the mountain forest gradually transformed from white to green.

"Let's stay around here; we're already far from the Night Charm Clan's sphere of influence," Lu Ran suggested.

"Okay," Deng Yuxiang replied, looking around and recognizing this mountain peak.

Previously, the two had traveled north, and they had also stood on this boundary ridge, gazing towards the south and north.

Returning to this place was not a coincidence.

Lu Ran had returned the same way, and the location he teleported to using the Teleportation Sorcery: Mirror Blossom Moon was not random.

Within a 100-kilometer range, he could teleport to places within his line of sight or to locations where he had previously opened maps and recorded spatial coordinates.

Lu Ran looked at the woman, "Should we wait for a snowy day?"

Unintentionally, he caught a glimpse of her beautifully curved waistline.

Just a moment ago, she had been pierced through the waist by a Night Charm Blade, so her clothing in that area was torn.

Her waist and abdomen were also exposed, revealing her extremely aesthetically pleasing waistline.

Lu Ran quickly turned his head away, pretending to observe the surroundings.

But as soon as he turned, he scolded himself for feeling guilty!

Even if she exposed her waist, what could happen? In this day and age, both men and women can showcase their alluring...cough, showcase their health and vitality!

Yes, that's right!

"Yes, it's best to wait," Deng Yuxiang said with a heavy heart, not noticing anything unusual.

Advancing in rank was indeed a thorny issue! Once she initiated the advancement, it would undoubtedly cause a significant disturbance.

Within the perilous Holy Spirit Mountain, there was no shortage of opportunists waiting to take advantage.

If she encountered an enemy attack during the advancement, whether she could survive or not was one thing, but even if she did, it would be extremely difficult for Deng Yuxiang to regroup and attempt another breakthrough!

"Let's go, down the mountain," Lu Ran said, and a black cloud rose beneath his feet, "We'll go deeper into the forest and find a hidden place."

"Okay!"

The two flew down the mountain peak and plunged into the deep forest.

For this advancement, the two of them from the Yanmen Sect had specifically prepared a hidden cave, with a long tunnel leading deep into the mountain.

After patiently waiting for several days, they finally encountered a night of heavy snow and strong winds.

In the pitch-black and quiet cave, Deng Yuxiang sat cross-legged, holding more than ten Divine Energy Orbs filled with energy.

The light from the orbs illuminated her face, which was filled with seriousness.

"Nightmare," Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

"Yes."

"No matter what happens, you must focus on your advancement," Lu Ran said with a particularly serious tone, "This not only concerns your future but also the future of the Yanmen Sect."

Deng Yuxiang remained silent, nodding slightly.

She was well aware of the seriousness of the matter; this path of advancement was like climbing a mountain, and any misstep could result in a fall into an abyss.

Lu Ran picked up the Fiery Phoenix Pattern Gourd, and with a sigh, he said, "If the little Fiery Phoenix could absorb living beings and allow the Great Nightmare to advance within the gourd, that would be great."

"Hmm~"

The Fiery Phoenix Pattern Gourd trembled slightly, and the golden phoenix pattern quietly lit up.

Lu Ran didn't hear the specific words of the Spirit Blade, but he felt the intentions of the little Fiery Phoenix.

He smiled and stroked the golden phoenix pattern, "Okay, do your best. But for now, let's help her with the advancement."

The phoenix pattern glowed brighter and brighter, dazzling in its brilliance.

Lu Ran extended his hand forward, and the Fiery Phoenix Pattern Gourd slowly floated and landed in Deng Yuxiang's embrace.

"I'll go out and keep watch," Lu Ran turned and left, but at the tunnel entrance, he paused, "Remember, no matter what happens outside, do not get distracted!"

"Yes."

"This is an order," Lu Ran said sternly, emphasizing it repeatedly.

"Yes!" Deng Yuxiang slightly bowed her head, her hands tightly clenching the ten Divine Energy Orbs.

Lu Ran took a step forward, walking through the long tunnel with its many twists and turns, and finally reaching the cave entrance.

The cave entrance was inconspicuous, more like a crack, just wide enough for one person to enter sideways.

In front of the cave was a lush forest, and at the entrance, there was even a large snow pine blocking the way.

"Wuuuu~~~"

In the pitch-black night, the howling wind and swirling snow created a chilling atmosphere.

Listening to the ghostly howls, Lu Ran's heart paradoxically felt more at ease.

He observed for a moment, then squeezed back into the cave entrance crack and walked a few meters before leaning against the wall and closing his eyes.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening sound pierced through the howling wind and swirling snow.

Lu Ran was startled!

His expression turned grim, and he rubbed his ears with both hands, almost stomping his feet in frustration.

To maintain vigilance, he had fully activated his Evil Insight, and he was particularly focused!

"Damn," Lu Ran muttered, and reluctantly lowered the level of his Evil Insight.

It wasn't until much later that he noticed the increasingly dense Divine Energy in the world, and his mood improved slightly.

Had the Great Nightmare broken through and entered the advancement state?

Leaning against the tunnel wall, Lu Ran closed his eyes and envisioned a beautiful future.

If this advancement succeeded, she would become a Fourth Rank Human Race powerhouse in the River Realm.

With an abundance of Divine Energy in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, it was an ideal place for cultivation. Deng Yuxiang only needed to advance a small rank further, and she would reach the pinnacle of the River Realm!

Once she reached this height, all she needed was a moment of enlightenment.

Is the Sea Realm far away?

Speaking of which, Deng Yuxiang had experienced a major life event.

Fortunately, this vibrant camellia, under Lu Ran's meticulous care, managed to maintain a relatively stable mental state.

Her goal was clear and firm, and she didn't fall into despondency or lose her way.

H

Lu Ran fell into deep thought.

There was no doubt that Deng Yuxiang was a person who had been shattered and then reassembled.

It was only because of Lu Ran's existence that her reassembly process was so brief, almost seamless.

Just as she had fallen into a deep abyss and her body had been torn apart, Lu Ran had put her back together and led her on this path.

From this perspective, Deng Yuxiang's epiphany should be clear in its general direction, right?

I

"Hmm," Lu Ran thought, feeling more and more convinced.

When she reaches the third stage of the River Realm, he can discuss it with her.

Perhaps he can greatly shorten the time it takes for her to comprehend and advance!

Tsk tsk~

To personally cultivate a powerhouse of the Sea Realm? Just thinking about it...

"Boom!"

Lu Ran shuddered, his face turning ashen.

Damn it!

These bastards!

I'll get you all, one day I'll chop you to pieces!

Lu Ran cursed in his mind, but he had no way to deal with the people in the sky, so he could only endure silently.

The night passed quickly.

Lu Ran had no intention of searching for Holy Spirit Qi; at this critical moment, it was best to avoid any unnecessary complications.

The next to the Holy Spirit Qi. At this crucial moment, it's best to avoid any unnecessary complications.

Lu Ran stood sideways in the narrow tunnel, peering through a crack several meters away at the entrance, where everything outside was a blur of white.

It was as if heaven was aiding him!

The wind howled, growing stronger, and the snow fell heavier. Hmm?

Lu Ran's heart sank, and he quickly closed his eyes to listen carefully.

He faintly heard the sound of flapping wings?

At the same time, amidst the endless wind and snow...

A man with ice-blue butterfly wings on his back was flying around the mountain peak with his eyes closed.

Obviously, this was a believer of the Fifth Rank Deity from the Ice Butterfly Sect.

"Brother Chen." A middle-aged woman flapped her butterfly wings and caught up, saying anxiously, "This person should be inside the mountain!"

"The frost and snow can't reach his body, so we can't sense him."

Brother Chen opened his eyes and looked coldly at the woman, "You're saying?"

The woman pouted, feeling aggrieved, but in the end, she didn't dare say anything.

Seeing her desire to argue, Brother Chen coldly humphed, "Fine, then go report to the higher-ups."

"Huh? Me?" The woman's face changed, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

"Aren't you afraid that the master will be anxious? Go!" The man said coldly and flew away.

The middle-aged woman's face turned pale, and she looked up at the sky.

Amidst the wind and snow, a woman in a snow-white robe stood on a flying sword.

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a long time, her heart filled with struggle, but in the end, she forced herself to fly up.

"Master..." The middle-aged woman trembled.

One could sense the fear emanating from her very being, causing even the butterfly wings on her back to flutter erratically.

The fearsome beast she was afraid of was a young and beautiful woman.

She was only in her early twenties, her black hair dancing gently, and her white skirt fluttering.

The young woman stood on a flying sword, indicating her identity as a First Rank Disciple of the Sword Sect.

"Speak." The Sword Sect disciple looked at the mountain peak beneath her feet and spoke indifferently.

The Ice Butterfly disciple lowered her head, trembling, and reported, "We've circled the mountain many times, and we haven't sensed any living beings. There are no ambushes in the forest.

This person should be advancing inside the mountain."

The Sword Sect disciple lowered her head, and her cold eyes fell on the Ice Butterfly disciple.

The energy of heaven and earth was converging towards this mountain; who wouldn't know that someone was advancing within?

"Master..." The middle-aged woman shivered, her head hanging even lower.

It was hard to imagine that an older Ice Butterfly disciple would use such a title and attitude towards a younger Sword Sect disciple.

Within the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, there was no law to speak of.

The weak had no dignity.

The Sword Sect disciple spoke slowly, her indifferent tone carrying infinite pressure, "Who is this believer, how many are there, and where exactly are they?"

As she spoke, she placed her hand on the Ice Butterfly disciple's head, feeling the trembling of her servant, "I'll give you three minutes."

"Yes!" The Ice Butterfly woman trembled and quickly flew downward.

"Little Jin." A clear and beautiful voice echoed from afar.

The Sword Sect disciple turned her head, and her face softened, "The sisters are here."

Three Sword Sect disciples flew in from the northwest direction.
