“After all the talk, we still have to fight it…?” Seeing this scene, the players’ hearts sank. Although they didn’t know the power of the phantom of the Aurogon before it ascended and understood Dao, they were sure that an ancient true dragon wouldn’t be weak even before it ascended.

“This mystical realm…?” The players in the new shop didn’t know how to continue…

Thinking that they had to battle with the phantom of an ancient godly dragon, their faces turned pale in fear.

Merlin, who had suspected that this was only a basic mystical realm, now looked ashen-faced.

However, for the players in the old shops, despite their shock, they were not as afraid since they had battled with the Prison-Guarding Wisdom King and Chong Lou, whose cultivation strength was suppressed to the peak of the mortal level.

Despite their experience, the old players were not sure that they would win. Even though it was only a phantom of the Aurogon, it excelled in the five-spiritual immortal spell. Meanwhile, its body was the toughest weapon, and its scales were a powerful defense that few mortals could break.

“What kind of spell is this?!” Players exclaimed in the new shop when they saw gusts, lightning energy, rocks, flames, and ice pallets crashing down together as the huge dragon’s claw struck outward. Everyone knew that ice and fire couldn’t be used together, but the elves and mages saw these two elements were actually not fighting each other but complementing each other, creating even greater power!

“How can we fight it?!” Looking at the words Please Try Again on their screens, all the players were stupefied.

@Mr. Fang. Players in the group @-ed Mr. Fang.

Nalan Mingxue said, This is hard…

Su Tianji chimed in, It was a piece of cake until now. I feel like I don’t know how to fight anymore… I was killed instantly a moment ago…

Nalan Hongwu said, I think I must study it carefully, and I’m afraid that I can’t pass it for the time being.

Su Tianji asked, Sir, do you have a guide or something…?

Mr. Fang replied, I don’t have a guide for dumb people.

What do you mean by guide for dumb people?! Su Tianji was displeased.

An Huwei said, Sir, just tell us if you can livestream it!

Jiang Xiaoyue asked, Boss, tell us where you’re in the game!

Mr. Fang replied, I passed it long ago.

Song Qingfeng shouted, F*ck… Sir, why didn’t you put it on livestream when you did it?!

Dong Qingli said, Sir, you changed! Did you save before you fought it? Quickly reload and livestream for us!

How long has it been since your last livestream?!

Sir, you became lazy!

You’re no longer the hard-working and productive shop owner anymore!

The people became indignant in the group chat.

Hurry! Put it on the livestream!

Even Xiaoyue livestreams more frequently than you do!

Mr. Fang looked puzzled as he asked, What does it have to do with me that Xiaoyue is livestreaming?

Sir, I’m warning you. If you livestream now, we will still be friends!

This group of people were just short of putting a knife against Mr. Fang’s neck.

“Okay! Okay! I’ll livestream.”

…

On the Coiled Dragon Pillar, Mr. Fang chose to play as Yun Tianhe.

“Ugh…? You’re playing it too, Sir?” The elves and some members of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion looked toward him. “This is so difficult…”

“I wonder if the shop owner can pass it…?”

“Watch how he plays it…” Soon, many people gathered behind Mr. Fang.

“The Aurogon can use many spiritual spells,” Mr. Fang told them, “But you must pay special attention to its five spiritual immortal spells. If water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth spells are casted at the same time, anyone who is hit by it will die.”

“You have two options to deal with such spells. One is to dodge it with superior footwork and skills, and the other is the Shapeless Cancellation Technique.”

The Shapeless Cancellation Technique was a high-level spiritual spell which could block and absorb the power of the opponent’s spiritual spells and turn it into one’s own strength. If cultivators mastered this spiritual spell with proficiency, they would be at the advantage when dealing with some powerful monsters who could use immortal spells.

However, the godly dragon also knew how to use this kind of spiritual spells, so it didn’t guarantee success; the players shouldn’t grow complacent. If the dragon interrupted this spell and slashed its claws at Yun Tianhe, he would be in big trouble.

“Only after you understand this basic knowledge can you defeat the godly dragon.”

In the battle with the Aurogon, the players could fly on their swords. In the high sky, a huge dragon flew through the ocean of clouds.

In the ear-deafening thunders and dragon roars, Yun Tianhe, Murong Ziying, and Han Lingsha flew up on their swords.

Faced with the godly creature flying through the ocean of clouds, flying up to fight it required great courage.

Everyone could feel that Yun Tianhe was fearless, Murong Ziying just followed nature with the casualness of Dao, and Han Lingsha was overcoming her fear to help her friends at the risk of her life. By joining the battle, they showed their sincere care for their friends, including Liu Mengli.

This was destined to be a hard battle.

“In this battle, on top of your own strengths, you need great adaptability and fast coordination.”

…

Thunderbolts crashed down from the sky. The three sword beams danced in the sky like shooting stars, and the godly dragon slashed out its sharp claws while creating violent gusts, narrowly missing Fang Qi several times.

The five-elemental spiritual essences transformed into five streaks of horrifying forces and merged together. The dancing gusts, flashing lightning bolts, and the mixed ice and fire made the audience feel dizzy just by watching.

The players in the new shop had never seen a battle on this scale before. The dragon’s horrifying attacks seemed to be able to destroy everything they touched, but the three sword beams were as slippery as fish, slipping from the huge dragon’s claws again and again.

About fifteen minutes later, Fang Qi tore through the high sky like a sharp sword beam while flying on his flying sword.

“Here is the chance! Metal-Melting Demonic Fire!”

Meanwhile, a horrifying hurricane gathered around Fang Qi like shadows.

On top of the wind element, this hurricane also contained the fire, lightning, water, and earth elements. The variations of the five elements made this spiritual spell hard to predict.

“Use the Shapeless Cancellation Technique!”

Soon, Murong Ziying used a spiritual spell, and the violent five spiritual essence surrounding Yun Tianhe seemed to calm down.

Taking this opportunity, Fang Qi shot out with explosive fierce presence, stabbing into the vital part of the godly dragon like a lightning bolt!

…

“Good! Mortal, you worked very hard!” When the sky cleared, the Aurogon revealed its true form again.

By now, Yun Tianhe and his two companions were covered in wounds.

“Hu…” Mr. Fang exhaled deeply, feeling exhausted.

In the end, the godly dragon helped the main characters go into the ghost realm, disguising them for 24 hours so that they wouldn’t be discovered by the ghosts.

After several turns of events, the main characters finally got to the Shadow Branch in the ghost realm that could travel through the barrier of the demon realm which was known as the netherworld. In the process, they also encountered Yun Tianqing, who hadn’t entered the reincarnation yet.

Yun Tianhe finally got the chance to ask his father why his parents did what they had done in the Qionghua Faction and forced Yun Xiao to seal himself in eternal ice.

Yun Tianqing admitted that he was sorry about what happened to his senior brother and then explained why he had left with the Wangshu Sword. If they tried to seal the demon realm with the dual swords, the demon realm would refuse to submit. Only the initial battle caused the deaths of many elders and elite disciples in the Qionghua Faction including Faction Master Taiqing Spiritual Master. Even if they defeated the demon realm, only a few cultivators in the Qionghua Faction would survive the battle.

Perhaps only a handful out of the thousand disciples could survive this battle, and this was the most optimistic estimate.

For Yun Tianqing, ascendance and becoming an immortal was meaningless if it meant the destruction of almost the entire faction.

If the battle prolonged, heavy casualties would appear, and the entire Qionghua Faction would be turned into a living hell.

Since the elders were unwilling to back down from the plan, Yun Tianqing had no choice but to leave with the Wangshu Sword to end the war.

Meanwhile, Yun Tianhe’s parents happened to save a young and severely wounded demon and put it under the care of Liu Shifeng, and this demon was Liu Mengli.

This was what happened about 20 years ago.

On the Nether River, the main characters encountered Han Lingsha’s uncle, who was doing hard labor working as the boatman on the Nether River; with his help, the three young people got the chance to escape from the ghost realm.

Sometimes, fates were unpredictable. For generations, the people of the Han Family had been tomb thieves, thinking that they were doing a good thing to dig out the treasures from the tombs to help the living people.

However, due to the disturbances that they caused the dead, the people of the Han Family not only got short lifespans of less than 30 years but had to do hard labor to redeem themselves after death.

Han Lingsha had spent a lifetime searching for ways to seek Dao and become an immortal, so she could change the fate of early death for the people in her family. However, in the end, she discovered that the technique to prolong the lifespan was useless for people in her family.

Everyone had one’s own fate. Just as Han Lingsha’s uncle, Han Beikuang, had said, everyone had their own destiny; no one could change it.

…

After coming out from the ghost realm with the knowledge that her days were numbered, Han Lingsha, who had reprimanded Yun Tianhe for his recklessness, made an even bolder decision – steal from the Temple of the Sky!

The main characters had made the wish and said, “The four of us will be together like this all our lives, doing things that we need to do.”

Mengli might still have a chance to realize this wish, but Han Lingsha couldn’t live long enough to see that day.

Han Lingsha wanted to get a meaningful item to replace her company with Ziying, Tianhe, and Mengli. After a lot of thinking, she decided on the Hou Yi Sun-Shooting Bow in the Temple of the Sky.

TL Note: Hou Yi is a mythological Chinese archer. He was also known as Shen Yi and simply as Yi. He is also typically given the title of ‘Lord Archer’. He is sometimes portrayed as a god of archery descended from heaven to aid mankind.

Now that Yun Tianhe had a great sword made by Ziying, he still needed a good bow.

No one had imagined that such a grand tomb hovered in the sky. Like a floating city in space, this secret garden in the sky was magnificent and beautiful, ancient and vibrant!

Standing in the temple, the main characters looked forward and could see an extremely wide path leading to the heavens. Under the blue sky, they looked down and could see puffy white clouds under their feet.

Seeing this scene, the audience members’ jaws dropped, feeling like this palace with gold tiles and white walls was more stunning than anything they had seen.

Are they going to steal from such a tomb?! The players thought that either these characters or themselves had gone crazy!
