The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

After leaving Phoenix Cave, continue upwards along the mountainside.

At the end of the mountain path is a platform with a stone gate on it.

The stone gate was engraved with intricate runes, shimmering with spiritual light and exuding a dangerous aura.

"Another formation."

Luo Tian probed with his divine sense and analyzed with his eyes closed.

"The beginner-level immortal array is a bit more complex than the previous ones, but it's still not difficult for me."

He opened his eyes and flicked his fingers in a series of hand seals.

Spiritual energy shot out from his fingertips, accurately striking a key node in the formation.

One, two... a total of thirty-six streams of spiritual energy shot out, the runes flickered a few times, and then went out.

The stone door slowly opened, revealing a small stone chamber behind it.

In the center of the stone chamber, a gourd floats.

The gourd is entirely green, with a smooth, jade-like surface that emits a faint, ethereal glow.

The gourd hung in the air with its mouth facing down, surrounded by sword energy.

"This is... a sword-nurturing gourd?"

Luo Tian walked up to the gourd and reached out to pick it.

He probed with his divine sense and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Eighty-one mid-grade spirit swords, and a sword formation."

He turned his head and looked at Li Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, this is for you."

Li Mengmeng was taken aback:

"Master, I..."

"Your attack style is rather one-dimensional, so this sword-nurturing gourd is perfect for you."

Luo Tian explained:

"The Sword-Nourishing Gourd, combined with your Flowing Water Sword Technique, doubles your ranged attack power."

Li Mengmeng took the sword-nurturing gourd with both hands, her eyes reddening.

"Hurry up and perform the blood oath ceremony."

Luo Tian reminded him.

Li Mengmeng bit her fingertip, and a drop of blood fell onto the gourd.

The blood was absorbed by the gourd, which then shimmered with a bluish light.

Li Mengmeng felt a subtle connection between herself and the gourd.

The eighty-one spiritual swords inside the gourd were in perfect harmony with her, as if they were her own limbs.

"Let's refine it first to improve our teamwork."

Luo Tian stood guard from the side.

Li Mengmeng sat cross-legged, channeling her spiritual energy into the gourd.

The spirit swords inside the gourd flew out and arranged in formation in the air.

Eighty-one spirit swords rotated according to a certain pattern, their sword light intertwining, exuding a chilling killing intent.

"Water-attribute martial arts technique, fused with the sword-nurturing gourd."

Luo Tian's voice rang in my ears.

Li Mengmeng infused the spiritual power of the Ice Heart Technique into the gourd, and a thin layer of water mist appeared on the spirit sword.

When the sword formation is activated, water mist fills the air, like a water curtain and a celestial radiance.

"go!"

With a thought, Li Mengmeng unleashed her sword formation, slashing towards a boulder in the corner of the stone chamber.

With a loud "boom," the boulder was shredded into powder by the sword formation.

Eighty-one spirit swords flew back to the gourd, and Li Mengmeng opened her eyes, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Master, we did it!"

Her aura was also rising, and the pure spiritual energy stored in the sword-nurturing gourd was replenishing her body.

Early stage of Golden Core... Middle stage of Golden Core... Late stage of Golden Core...

He only stopped at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Li Mengmeng, with tears streaming down her face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Get up.

Luo Tian's voice was calm and earnest.

"You have a strong will and although your natural talent is not top-notch, you can make up for it with hard work."

The road ahead is still long.

"Disciple understands!"

……

The group left the stone chamber and continued on their journey, finally arriving at the end of the secret realm.

Ahead lay a desolate land, where even the spiritual energy was extremely thin.

The air was thick with the smell of decay, and not a blade of grass grew on the ground.

"The burial place of the master of the immortal abode."

Luo Tian stopped and extended his divine sense.

In the center of the desolate land, there lies a skeleton.

The skeleton sat cross-legged, its bones as clear as jade, emitting a faint glow.

On the skeleton's finger was a storage ring.

In front of the skeleton lay a bead the size of a fist.

The bead is entirely golden and exudes a rich spiritual aura.

Two eerie lights suddenly appeared on the skull of the skeleton.

It was a remnant soul, so weak that only a wisp of consciousness remained.

"Has someone come in again?... "

A hoarse voice emanated from the skeleton, carrying endless vicissitudes.

"So many years... finally someone has come..."

The eerie light flickered and swept over Ye Qianxue and her two companions.

Then it locked onto Luo Tian, ​​and the ghostly light suddenly solidified.

The skeleton trembled and made a "clucking" sound.

Those two eerie lights stared intently at Luo Tian, ​​their eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

"War... War against the Celestial Emperor?!"

……
