Chapter 7: Mission Reward, Super Treasure Box!

Is Leng Wuyan beautiful?

With her jet-black beautiful hair, a face that complements the morning glow, lips like fragmented jade, and brows and eyes as light as a spring mountain, her eyes radiate a charm that outshines even the snow and wind.

Even in her loose robes, she couldn't hide her alluring figure; instead, it accentuated her graceful and enchanting charm.

To put it simply, in both of Li Ran's lifetimes, he had never seen such a beautiful girl.

However, if he thought that being in a relationship with her would be a blessing solely based on her appearance, he was thinking too simplistically.

She was Leng Wuyan!

The Sect Master of the Hidden Gauze Sect, an existence standing at the pinnacle of the entire world.

She once single-handedly confronted a major righteous sect for the murder of one of her disciples. When the sect refused to hand over the culprit, she directly cut the entire mountain into ruins with a single sword strike!

A first-class sect was wiped out, and hundreds of experts were killed, all by her hand.

This event caused shockwaves throughout the entire world.

The righteous sects organized a Demon-Slaughtering Conference, seeking to execute Leng Wuyan.

But no matter which expert from the righteous sects came, they would be killed one after another, and the corpses piled up, blocking the mountain gates, while blood dyed the entire Rakhasa Peak red.

And yet, Leng Wuyan remained unscathed.

Since then, the name "Leng Wuyan" became a taboo existence throughout the world.

If Li Ran was a villainous character, then Leng Wuyan was the ultimate boss!

Dating someone like her might cost him his life one day.

What a dilemma!

Of course, Li Ran couldn't just say, "I'm sorry, Sect Leader, but you got it all wrong. I didn't intend to confess to you." That would be purely seeking death.

"Let's take one step at a time..."

Li Ran sighed dejectedly.

...

"Ran'er..."

Leng Wuyan blushed as she called his name. It was a normal way of addressing him, but now it felt somewhat shy.

"The path to immortality is long, and if we wish to stay together, we must both stand at the highest peak. You must focus on cultivating diligently and never slack off."

"I...will be waiting for you ahead."

After saying this, Leng Wuyan didn't wait for Li Ran's response and dissipated into the wind and snow.

Li Ran was stunned for a moment before nodding.

"You're right. The path to immortality is long, but one day I will ascend to the pinnacle and stand at the top of the world!"

"Of course, before that, I have to live well under the 'care' of the Sect Leader..."

Li Ran sighed and turned to walk down the mountain.

Unaware, the wind and snow behind him slowly transformed into a human form.

Watching his back, Leng Wuyan's eyes seemed like they could shed tears.

Recalling Li Ran's shocking words and his determination to die for her, Leng Wuyan's cheeks flushed with heat.

"So this is... what it feels like to be loved?"

...

Li Ran returned to his room.

Recalling the cross-channel communication with his Sect Leader today, his back was still covered in cold sweat.

"Although the process was dangerous, the results are good. Not only did I recover my cultivation, but I also got three treasure boxes for free."

Li Ran focused his attention on the system.

Three shining golden treasure boxes appeared before him as rewards for exceeding the mission requirements.

[Would you like to open the Super Treasure Box immediately?]

"Open."

Li Ran eagerly rubbed his hands together.

The lid of the treasure box opened, and a brilliant golden light flashed before his eyes.

[Congratulations, host, for obtaining the technique "Heaven-Seizing Art"!]

[Congratulations, host, for obtaining the spiritual treasure "Cloud Feather Spear"!]

[Congratulations, host, for obtaining the phenomenon "Dragon-Elephant Harmonizing the Sky"!]

He carefully examined each reward.

"The Heaven-Seizing Art" was an ancient book with strange seal characters that Li Ran couldn't recognize.

He tried to immerse his mind in it, and suddenly, a bright light burst forth. The ancient seal characters emitted a golden glow that surged into his mind like a tide.

"Seize the heavens, defy the heavens' will!"

"Plunder the creation of all realms and become an immortal and invincible supreme deity!"

"Replace all laws with my law, replace the heavens' will with my will!"

"This is the Heaven-Seizing Art!"

A thunderous sound seemed to resonate in his ears, shaking Li Ran's soul, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

After an unknown period of time, a faint golden light appeared in the darkness.

Then, like wildfire, it illuminated his sea of consciousness. A translucent figure resembling amethyst sat cross-legged, covered in golden ancient seal characters.

The original texts from the ancient book now seemed to be golden tattoos on this figure.

"So that's how it is."

Li Ran opened his eyes, and a golden light shone through.

The Heaven-Seizing Art not only was an extraordinary technique, but it also transformed his physical constitution.

The figure in his sea of consciousness replaced him, constantly absorbing spiritual energy. His body, dantian, meridians, and even his soul were being constantly tempered.

In other words, Li Ran didn't need to meditate and cultivate anymore.

Whether eating, sleeping, or drinking water, he was constantly cultivating without interruption.

"What an amazing technique! It suits me perfectly! I might as well call it the 'AFK Cultivation Art'!" Li Ran couldn't help but grin.

The second reward, the Cloud Feather Spear.

This is a high-grade spiritual treasure that can be nurtured within the body and its power increases with the user's strength.

In theory, there is no limit to its grade as long as the user is strong enough.

The spear contains four powerful spear techniques, making it very practical.

Li Ran pinched his chin and looked at the sparkling silver spear that was two meters long in front of him.

"Riding a sword in the sky is a man's romance, but what's the deal with riding a spear? Besides, this rough-looking thing doesn't match my appearance either..."

"Well, let's use it for now. If it doesn't work out, I can change it later."

Li Ran put away the silver spear.

This spiritual treasure, which could trigger a war if placed in the central plains, he was actually a bit disdainful of it...

If there were other people who saw this scene, they would call Li Ran insatiable!
