Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

Of course, Lingyun wouldn't say these things to Duan Xuan; on the surface, she agreed very readily.

Secretly, however, he only intended to notify Zhou Ran.

result……

Ten seconds later.

Lingyun's voice carried a hint of strangeness and anxiety: "Host, something bad has happened, I can't contact Zhou Ran."

"What?"

Duan Xuan was shocked: "How is this possible? Didn't you launch many nanosatellites, scattering them throughout the entire secret realm to form a real-time satellite communication network? How could you not be able to contact Zhou Ran?"

"It's not my fault."

Lingyun looked aggrieved: "When I first arrived yesterday, I already told you that there was something strange about this secret realm. Although the satellites I launched completed the network, a third of them were inexplicably lost from the very beginning."

"In other words, about one-third of this secret realm is outside my monitoring range. Zhou Ran must have deliberately entered that dangerous place."

"Therefore, I naturally have no way to contact him."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Xuan's face immediately darkened.

But thinking about it carefully, this result is really not surprising at all. As the owner of a silly spiritual root, Zhou Ran does things in a flamboyant and unconventional way, which cannot be understood by common sense.

For example, when it was their first time adventuring in another world, everyone, including myself, was extremely cautious, but that brat Zhou Ran was incredibly high-profile.

He not only mingled with the cultivators of the Yunxi Sect, but even acted very intimately with one of the sect's female disciples.

They were inseparable, like a couple in love.

It's no surprise that someone who acted so recklessly and arrogantly went missing.

"Damn it, I warned him before we came. This brat really thinks he's the main character!"

Duan Xuan was so angry that he started cursing.

Despite his anger, Duan Xuan was also somewhat helpless. If it were anyone else, he would have simply let go of the guy and let him live or die, it was all the guy's own fault.

But Zhou Ran was different; he was Zhou Ran's only good friend.

Despite their usual bickering, they wouldn't joke around so casually if they weren't so close.

Duan Xuan frowned, lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Yun'er, where was that kid last seen before he disappeared, and which direction did he go?"

"Let me check."

Lingyun closed her eyes, then opened them again. Without saying a word, she projected the coordinates of Zhou Ran's last appearance onto Duan Xuan's retina.

"It's about 300 li away from here, and then it headed southeast?"

Duan Xuan sighed, then his whole body glowed with a blue light, and he used a flying talisman to quickly disappear into the distant horizon.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"The Demon of Resentment?"

Jiang Yaoguang's face was full of unpleasant expressions. She had actually encountered such a troublesome guy in a mere Qi Refining level trial mission.

She raised her right hand and pressed the nano-spiritual digital detector worn over her right eye.

"Combat power 150."

"Fortunately, although it exceeded the limit of 144 points in the Qi Refining stage, it was not by too much. After all, it is just a newly born wisp of demonic thought and is not mature yet."

Roar!

Before he could finish speaking, a deafening roar reached his ears. At this moment, Xu Lingyue had been completely transformed into a demon. His gray-white eyes gleamed with an eerie black light, and the demonic energy surrounding his body appeared unstable and violent.

With a roar, he flashed forward and viciously pounced on Fairy Yaoguang, his fist swirling with filthy demonic energy, aiming straight for the girl before him.

Xu Lingyue was not a body cultivator, but at this moment, his body was clearly strengthened, his strength was brute and unruly, yet the power of this punch was immense.

"snort."

Jiang Yaoguang showed no fear and did not back down or dodge. A faint light shone on the surface of the nano-spiritual energy detector. As a Golden Core Ancestor, her use of this level of equipment was already at a level of perfection.

This device is not just for use as radar and to detect the enemy's combat strength. The chip on it has considerable computing power and can be used as a combat aid.

At this moment, he used it to calibrate the angle of force exertion. After all, what he was attached to the Divine Machine Mystic Puppet was merely a wisp of divine thought that had been separated. With just this little bit of divine consciousness, it would be difficult to unleash combat skills at the Golden Core level. He needed technological equipment to assist and amplify his abilities.

Faced with that ferocious punch, Jiang Yaoguang did not retreat but advanced. She did not choose to meet it head-on, but instead used the exquisite technique that only Golden Core cultivators could master to highly compress her spiritual power. At the moment when the opponent's fist deflected, she poked a finger at the node where the demonic energy was circulating.

The flaw was fleeting!

But she captured it perfectly.

This seemingly ordinary finger gesture was like popping an inflated balloon. Xu Lingyue trembled all over. The already violent demonic energy became completely disordered under the influence of the external force. The delicate balance was broken, and the demonic energy rushed around in his eight extraordinary meridians, falling into chaos.

"what……"

The screams reached his ears, and Xu Lingyue's body trembled uncontrollably, the tremors growing more and more intense, as if he had gone mad and started dancing unconsciously.

At the same time, a flying sword, like a swimming fish, flew out from Jiang Yaoguang's sleeve, and with a turn and a circle, took off the opponent's head.

As expected of a Golden Core Ancestor, even though she can only use Qi Refining level power, her methods and skills are far beyond what Qi Refining cultivators can achieve. The terrifying Resentment Demon, which had already possessed her body, was still no match for her.

A wisp of dark demonic energy flew out from the blood flower. On the surface of the demonic energy was a distorted face, its ugly features filled with malice and chaos.

Instead of running away, this guy rushed towards Fairy Yaoguang, who was right in front of him.

"You actually want to possess me?"

Jiang Yaoguang wasn't angry; instead, she laughed: "If you were a true extraterrestrial demon, and your true form descended here, I would call you father. You're just a newly born little demonic thought; you really don't know how to spell death."

With a flick of her wrist, she retrieved a uniquely shaped treasure from her storage equipment. It was only the size of a palm, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a portable, miniature electric mosquito swatter.

As the demonic thought lunged at her, Jiang Yaoguang flicked her wrist, and with a soft "snap," a blue arc of electricity struck the oncoming demonic thought.

Without a doubt, the demonic thought convulsed wildly within the electric grid, hissing and emitting smoke, just like a mosquito being electrocuted. But in an instant, even the screams disappeared, turning into ashes.

"Not bad, not bad. This magical artifact made by the Immortal Simulation Technology Administration is quite useful. Although it is a purely technological product and its shape resembles an electric mosquito swatter, it can release 20 volts of high voltage despite its small size."
