The Long Journey to Immortality

A seal no bigger than an index finger, with a dragon head pattern on the upper half, probably of the grade of a high-grade magic weapon, and also a magic item with unknown effects.

Taking the lead, Han Lu only glanced at the magical artifact summoned by the Seven Flower Fairy for a moment before continuing to use her True Spirit Divine Power on her own.

Endless, frigid spiritual energy surged outwards from Han Lu, and she once again brought out the Ice Phoenix Divine Power, which she had quite liked when she was in the Qi Refining Realm.

In an instant, this extremely cold spiritual energy filled the entire arena, turning the originally empty arena into a world of ice and snow.

In the world of ice and snow, only the place where the Seven Flower Fairy stands is a pure land.

The yellow wooden scepter she summoned immediately activated the pre-carved restriction array, protecting the Seven Flower Fairy and allowing her to escape from the immense and powerful Ice Phoenix Divine Power.

Although it provided excellent protection, the power of Han Lu's extremely cold spiritual energy was not completely neutralized by the scepter.

The ice and snow climbed up the light curtain covering the Seven Flower Fairy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The color of the yellow wooden scepter also became increasingly dull as the light screen changed.

Noticing the abnormality of her protective magic treasure, the Seven Flower Fairy did not hesitate and quickly used her other two magic treasures to attack Han Lu, preventing her from fully controlling the ice and snow and destroying the barrier.

The idea is good, but whether it will go smoothly depends on Han Lu's wishes.

Under the control of the Seven Flower Fairy, the seal expanded a thousandfold in an instant.

Hovering in the air, it seemed as if a small mountain was looming over Han Lu's head. Then, with the force of Mount Tai pressing down, it crushed and pressed down, as if it wanted to imprint the two characters "游龙" (Youlong, meaning "swimming dragon") on the seal onto Han Lu's forehead.

Despite feeling the pressure coming from above, Han Lu did not panic.

First, he summoned ice and snow, forming a solid layer of ice above his head to resist, then activated the Fierce Phoenix bloodline within his body, entering a semi-true spirit state.

She planned to confront it head-on, using her own physical strength to lift the giant dragon seal.

Even though Han Lu reinforced the temporary ice barrier with some basic mechanics, it only withstood the mountain-like dragon seal for three breaths.

A cracking sound came from inside the solid ice, and in the next instant, it cracked and disintegrated under the heavy pressure of the Dragon Seal.

However, in just three breaths, Han Lu had gained enough time.

Having entered the semi-true spirit stage, Han Lu, once again donning the black skin, also unleashed one of Li Feng's supernatural powers, completely pushing her own strength to the limit that her body could withstand.

If Han Lu could previously split a hundred-meter-thick layer of ice with a single palm strike, then with this new supernatural power, she could now easily carve open a mountain with her bare hands.

"drink!"

With a loud shout, Han Lu raised her hands high, directly confronting the Seven Flower Fairy's magic weapon with her own flesh and blood.

With a slight creaking sound of bones grinding together, Han Lu's feet sank into the arena, which was reinforced by restrictions and magic arrays, and she managed to steadily parry and hold the seal, as if she were carrying a cauldron on her body.

The Seven Flower Fairy switched rings one after another, and the long-necked white jade bottle that had already been activated sprayed out a viscous white liquid, trying to obstruct Han Lu's spiritual power and prevent her from maintaining this strange power generated by supernatural abilities.

However, the Seven Flower Fairy never expected that these viscous liquids would freeze into ice blocks by the extremely cold spiritual power when they were only three meters away from Han Lu's body, losing their original power and naturally falling to the ground.

Having neutralized the Seven Flower Fairy's series of attacks, Han Lu quickly unleashed her power and performed a lifting and throwing motion.

Han Lu seized control of the Seven Flower Fairy's Dragon Seal using almost brute force.

The mountain-sized seal, propelled by Han Lu's explosive power, was thrown out and slammed heavily against the arena barrier.

"boom!"

A loud bang pierced everyone's eardrums.

When the audience came to their senses, the seal had lost its spirit and reverted to its original form, even with some damage to its corners.

Upon seeing this, the Seven Flower Fairy's expression changed drastically.

She wanted to use other magical artifacts to launch an attack, but the increasingly cold air around her told her that she should deal with the crisis around her first.

He activated the yellow wooden scepter by making hand seals, and then several more balls of dark blue flame were summoned by an oil lamp magic item to protect the Seven Flower Fairy.

After a series of actions, the ice and snow that Han Lu no longer deliberately controlled were finally melted, and a safe zone with a radius of thirty meters appeared around the Seven Flower Fairy, warm as spring.

In the first round, the two clashed from a distance. Although neither suffered any major injuries, Han Lu still came out on top.

Chapter 745 Battle Under the Seven Flowers

The clusters of flames surrounding Qi Hua had a mysterious aspect; they perfectly countered the extreme cold spiritual energy unleashed by Han Lu, allowing the Seven Flower Fairy to find a paradise amidst the chill.

However, since there weren't many of these flames, that was all.

With a wave of her hand, the Seven Flower Fairy put the damaged Dragon Seal back into her storage bag.

Having many magical treasures and being skilled in crafting them, she didn't care about the minor damage to the treasures. Instead, she took the initiative to chat with Han Lu.

This isn't because the Seven Flower Fairy enjoys chatting; it's just one of her battle strategies.

Han Lu's previous smokescreen had indeed kept her in the dark.

Just as Han Lu had expected, the Seven Flower Fairy mistakenly believed that Han Lu's use of the semi-true spirit transformation state was similar to a self-harming secret technique that would consume a lot of spiritual power and overdraw her body.

That's why he deliberately chatted with Han Lu during the battle, hoping to wear down her spirits.

"Elder Zhenfeng, your methods are truly impressive. My Dragon Seal is a mid-grade spiritual artifact. When it expands and crushes, it has a force of about 100,000 jin. Even ordinary Golden Core Realm demonic beasts cannot withstand a single blow from it."

"I didn't expect that you would not only resist but also damage a corner of my Dragon Seal."

"You are now worthy of the description 'immense strength'."

We were just talking and chatting for the sake of talking and chatting; the phrase "Seven Flower Fairy" was something we made up on the spot.

The content is ostensibly about the battle that just took place.

However, upon closer examination, there are still some awkward and contrived parts.

However, such flattery and praise, when used during internal sect sparring, was enough to make Han Lu temporarily set aside her weapons and chat with her for a few words, thus achieving her goal.

Han Lu didn't think much of it and had no idea that the Seven Flower Fairy had fallen for her casually executed scheme.

"Elder Qihua's magic weapon is also exquisite," Han Lu said, her gaze falling on the lamp floating beside Fairy Qihua. "This lamp-shaped magic weapon is certainly not an ordinary item. I wonder what its origin is."

Seeing Han Lu's response, the Seven Flower Fairy was overjoyed and immediately launched into a long speech in front of Han Lu, introducing the lamp-shaped magic treasure beside her.

The story was quite long, consisting of ten sentences.

However, the Seven Flower Fairy only introduced the origin of the magic weapon, without mentioning its specific supernatural powers or abilities.

The way the question was answered made Han Lu realize something was amiss, and she vaguely guessed the reason why the Seven Flower Fairy was acting so deliberately.

The Seven Flower Fairy's acting skills were slightly lacking, and she eventually slipped up in front of Han Lu.

Secretly pleased, Han Lu, relying on the fact that it was a friendly spar and that many Golden Core elders were watching, asked in a joking tone, "Elder Seven Flowers, you're not just going on and on to waste my spiritual energy with this long speech, are you?"

Han Lu is also good at psychological warfare.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Seven Flowers blushed and said shamelessly, "I only told you because Fairy True Phoenix wanted to know the origin of my spirit lamp."

Having estimated that nearly a hundred breaths had passed, Fairy Seven Flowers was already satisfied. "In that case, Elder True Phoenix, let's continue. We can discuss the matter of the magic weapon after we leave the arena."

After saying that, the Seven Flower Fairy flicked her hand and knocked the lamp stand to the ground.

The lamp oil flowed from the lamp holder, extending the blue flame outwards, turning the arena, which had been transformed into a world of ice and snow, into a sea of ​​fire under her control.

This was just a prelude, a setup. Just as Seven Flower Fairy was about to take out another magic weapon to make the modified arena environment work for her, Han Lu chuckled and said, "Elder Seven Flower, your idea of ​​using fire to counter ice is good, but this fire won't do much for me."

After speaking, Han Lu once again activated the "True Phoenix Manual" technique.

As her bloodline activated, Han Lu's originally flowing silver-white hair transformed into flames.

To outsiders, it looked as if a flame was burning fiercely above Han Lu's head.

"This..." Fairy Qihua was stunned by Han Lu's change in appearance. She stopped what she was doing, believing Han Lu's words to some extent. She wanted to see what happened next before deciding whether to continue using the magic weapon instead of wasting spiritual energy.

Having activated her Phoenix Bloodline, Han Lu's affinity for and control over flames reached its peak.

Although these blue flames rolling on the ground and burning fiercely were not "True Phoenix Flames", Han Lu was still able to control them and free them from the control of the Seven Flower Fairy, the owner of the magic weapon.

Han Lu made a hand seal and took a deep breath.

The flames on the ground were swept up by the wind brought by that breath, and narrowly burned towards Han Lu.

These seemingly ferocious flames turned into docile babies in front of Han Lu.

Following orders, they huddled together in a small ball, and right under the noses of the Seven Flower Fairy, who was struggling to control her magic weapon to regain control of the flames, they were swallowed whole by Han Lu.

Without a fire source, the oil lamp was left with only oil and light, and for the time being, it had no strength left to fight.

Han Lu easily cracked yet another magical artifact, leaving the Seven Flower Fairy speechless.

This loss is far greater than before. The Seven Flower Fairy looked at the oil lamp at her feet, feeling heartbroken, and couldn't help but speak again.

“Fairy Zhenfeng, this Blue Flame of Withered Bones is extremely precious. I trapped it in a spirit lamp for seventy years to accumulate this much stock.”

"I wonder if you could have some mercy and return some of it to me."

"I promise that I will never use this oil lamp again in our next sparring session, and I will fight you with this withered bone blue flame."

It was just a friendly exchange between fellow disciples from different sects, and with so many Golden Core cultivators watching, Han Lu, who was a kind person, naturally wouldn't refuse the Seven Flower Fairy who had already shamelessly begged her at this moment.

"I see. I'll return it to you now."

Opening her mouth again, Han Lu spat out a ball of blue flame, sending it back to the Seven Flower Fairy's side.

The Seven Flower Fairy was overjoyed and quickly manipulated her magic lamp to contain the withered blue flame, repeatedly expressing her gratitude.

The atmosphere was friendly, but that didn't mean the Seven Flower Fairy was willing to admit defeat and give up her qualification.

After apologizing, the Seven Flower Fairy took out her newly acquired magic weapon and prepared to use it.

Han Lu also wanted to broaden her horizons and see what other powerful magical treasures were in the storage bag of Daoist Duobao and Fairy Qihua.

However, for various reasons, Han Lu decided to end this battle, which she felt had little suspense about, as soon as possible.

As Han Lu silently recited the incantation, the three shadows at her feet underwent a change.

The shadows lengthened, gathered together, and eventually formed a black sphere floating beside Han Lu.

"What kind of strange and unusual trick is this?" This question arose in the minds of many elders.

Under Han Lu's control, the sphere expanded, spread its wings, and transformed into the shape of a black phoenix.

On the arena of the Five Elements Mountain Academy, in front of all the elders of the Zhengyi Sect, Han Lu used the "Shadow Avatar" technique for the first time to fight her opponent.
