Accidentally invincible!

The Holy Empress did not expect Sheng Wushuang to be so confident.

But indeed, he had the capital to be confident.

In just one year, his cultivation advanced to the True Immortal Realm, truly astonishing.

However, with just this, wanting to marry her beloved disciple whom she had painstakingly nurtured for a century seemed somewhat wishful thinking.

Sheng Wushuang said, "I have one more thing that I believe the Holy Empress will be interested in."

Then he took out a furnace. This furnace looked ancient, as if it had existed for a very long time, but it was missing half of it. The missing part formed a light screen, pretending to be whole.

"This is..."

The Holy Empress's expression changed slightly, captivated by the item in front of her, even a bit incredulous.

"This is the other half of the Eternal Divine Furnace," Sheng Wushuang said with great confidence, knowing the Holy Empress could not refuse. He continued, "As long as I marry the Holy Empress's disciple, this will be my betrothal gift."

Although this was just the other half of the Eternal Divine Furnace, the aura it exuded was quite astounding, more powerful than a high-grade Dao Artifact. If it were complete, it might be an Immortal Treasure.

The Holy Empress did not answer but pondered for a long time.

The other half of the Eternal Divine Furnace was not in the Sacred Land. Sheng Wushuang having it could mean only one thing: that the inheritance he received might be the Eternal Inheritance.

The Eternal Immortal Venerable was a very ancient powerhouse in the Immortal Realm. It was rumored that after a fierce battle, the Eternal Divine Furnace, as an Immortal Treasure, faced unimaginable horror, shattered, and fell into the cultivation world.

And the initial inheritance of the Holy Palace and Sacred Land relied on the other half of the Eternal Divine Furnace.

According to ancient records,

two cultivators chanced upon the fragmented Eternal Divine Furnace in a ruin, leading to a great battle. The Holy Palace's ancestor obtained the Eternal Divine Furnace, while the Sacred Land's ancestor seized the Eternal Technique, eventually establishing two great powers.

Sheng Wushuang said, "What does the Holy Empress think? Once you possess this other half of the Divine Furnace, the Treasure of the Sect in the Holy Palace will be complete, instantly becoming the greatest sect in the world. And my request is very simple."

"Though I was indeed outstanding in the past, I was not outstanding enough to make such excessive demands of the Holy Empress."

"But now, I consider myself unmatched in the world, and I've admired the Holy Empress's disciple for many years, hoping the Holy Empress will fulfill my wish."

To Sheng Wushuang, he believed the Holy Empress could absolutely not refuse.

Because the betrothal gift he was offering was exactly what the Holy Empress wanted most.

It was irresistible.

If he were braver, he might even suggest they both come with him, enjoying a life of many blessings, but that was just a thought. Where would he find the courage?

If he dared to say it aloud,

the Holy Empress might chase him around the world, hammering him mercilessly.

The Holy Empress remained silent, not because she didn't want it, but because the request was so difficult for her to handle that her first thought was outright refusal. Her beloved disciple was not a commodity to be traded.

But…

"How about a different condition? Whatever you want, I can fulfill it," the Holy Empress said.

Sheng Wushuang shook his head and said, "This is the only idea I have, and as the Young Master of the Sacred Land, I feel I lack nothing except a beloved person."

He held the Holy Empress tightly in his grasp, knowing the appearance of the other half of the Eternal Divine Furnace would definitely tempt her, so as long as he kept persisting, it would work.

"I cannot make this decision," the Holy Empress replied, no longer thinking about the Eternal Divine Furnace, "See the guest out..."

Sheng Wushuang was not at all anxious upon hearing these words.

"Why reject so quickly, Holy Empress? A strong alliance marriage is a certainty. Besides, now is the best time for the Sacred Land and the Holy Palace to dominate the cultivation world. The Demon Path and Demon Path are waning, and all the dormant major powers are raring to go. Why let such a great opportunity pass, Holy Empress?"

"Once missed, it will never come again."

Step by step, he hoped to unlock the door to the Holy Empress's ambition.

...

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is the Holy Palace."

Lin Fan looked at the grandiose palace amidst the clouds, nodding frequently. It was indeed a good place. Although it was of the Demon Path, it was well arranged, full of Immortal aura.

If he hadn't known it was in Demon Path territory, he would have thought he was in the Immortal Path.

He wondered if it was because there were too many Immortal Sects, the Holy Palace's ancestors moved it here.

Huh!

Something feels off.

Why is there an aura that seems so familiar?

The man next to him asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Lin, what's wrong?"

He noticed that Lin Fan's expression had suddenly changed and was worried that something was wrong, wondering if he had thought of something or felt that there was something wrong with the Holy Palace.

"Hahaha..."

Lin Fan ignored the man beside him and laughed, his voice echoing, "I was wondering who it was. So it's Sheng Wushuang! I didn't expect to encounter you here."

"Come on out, my little envoy of wealth."

He had found this aura somewhat familiar. They had crossed paths and clashed in a great battle, and he had snatched away Sheng Wushuang's Fiery Flame Immortal Spear.

At this moment,

Sheng Wushuang, who was slowly conversing with the Holy Empress, shuddered upon hearing this voice. Initially puzzled over who it was, he quickly realized.

"You scoundrel, you're daring enough to find me instead of me going after you!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Sheng Wushuang vanished from the hall and surged outside.

The Holy Empress frowned, wondering who had arrived.

And they actually made Sheng Wushuang so furious. She couldn't imagine who had such capability.

Outside,

Lin Fan said to the people around him, "Could everyone please step back a bit? A great battle is about to occur, and if you're too close, you might get caught up."

The crowd was puzzled.

A great battle?

This was the Holy Palace. How could a great battle possibly happen here? But as if guided by fate, they quickly moved far away.

At this moment,

A terrifying aura transmitted from afar.

"Lin Fan, you dare come for me,"

Sheng Wushuang roared in rage. The only significant loss he'd ever suffered was at this man's hands. Who could imagine what his year had been like?

Every time he thought of that event, he couldn't eat or sleep, solely focused on eliminating Lin Fan.

Soon,

Sheng Wushuang's figure appeared not far from Lin Fan.

Lin Fan chuckled, "Why so angry, Fellow Daoist Wushuang? A year ago, you were beaten by me like a dog, and I even took a high-grade Dao Artifact from you. Why bear it in mind?"

"Huh!"

"Remarkable indeed, I wondered why Fellow Daoist Wushuang was so confident, turned out you became a True Immortal. Just one year, and your cultivation advanced swiftly. Seems your immortal encounter allowed you to soar high."

Lin Fan hadn't expected Sheng Wushuang to have such opportunities.

It was quite unexpected.

Surely a man of great fortune, rich in immortal encounters, truly a protagonist type.

Taking a closer look,

[Sheng Wushuang: True Immortal Realm, Ninth Grade.]

[Chance of dropping: Ninth Grade Metal Spirit Root, Ninth Grade Thunder Spirit Root, Thirteen Myriad Years of Mana, High-grade Dao Artifact Dragon Turtle Eight Diagram Armor, Other Side Technique, Holy Mysterious Hidden Dragon Technique, Eternal Divine Furnace, Eternal Marvelous Skill, Eternal Saint King Fist, Eternal Secret Treasure Key...]

[Constitution: Kunpeng Immortal Body.]

[Remark: How can there be one like me in the world, and who can contend with me.]

The changes were quite significant, with so many potential drops.

Especially the mana, which increased by more than forty millennia in just one year. If not for elixirs, he wouldn't believe it was achieved through his own abilities.

Eternal?

Most of the things Sheng Wushuang could drop bore the mark of 'Eternal.'

It seemed quite extraordinary.

Lin Fan applauded, "Not bad, not bad, changing for the better, a person with immortal encounters is truly remarkable. Even watching from the side makes me envious, your aura has improved a lot. If you were sold to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, I imagine your value would be immense."

"You..." Sheng Wushuang was furious, his face turning dark. The thing he hated most was the idea of being sold to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. To him, it was an insult.

Lin Fan wore a wide smile. He loved encountering Sheng Wushuang most.

Even though it was his second time meeting him,

for some reason, it always felt like old friends reuniting, having much to say each meeting.

Currently, the Universe Tripod held the Sect Leader's son from the Shenxiao Sect, Xiao Chen. If they could capture Sheng Wushuang too, it would be the ultimate auction of buy one, get one free.

The thought alone made him fervently excited.

"Your Fiery Flame Immortal Spear is still with me. I sold it for ten Divine Ability Fruits at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion last time but forgot to sell your weapon too. If you want it back, I can return it, but you have to beg me," Lin Fan said.

Sheng Wushuang suppressed the fury in his heart.

Refusing to get angry.

With my current strength and status, getting angry would be humiliating myself.

Sheng Wushuang said coldly, "A mere ant like you isn't qualified to anger me. Just a Fiery Flame Immortal Spear, I'm not concerned with it."

"I intend to take your head as a ball to kick around."

As soon as he said that,

Sheng Wushuang threw a punch, but it wasn't an ordinary punch. It contained a bizarre, tremendous mysterious force. Perhaps akin to the Eternal power mentioned in his drops.

"Eternal Saint King Fist."

In an instant,

as he swung his fist, a king's phantom appeared. Even though it was a mere shadow, the power it transmitted was terrifying to the extreme. The punch intent, interwoven with Immortal Dao law, pierced through the heavens, shattering all illusions and mercilessly crushing forward.

In the distance, the Holy Empress felt a familiar aura from Sheng Wushuang's fist technique.

It was the power of eternity.

Not a fist technique belonging to the cultivation world but truly of an Immortal.

"Good timing, the more you learn, the more valuable you are."

Lin Fan quipped casually, yet his expression was quite serious, employing divine skills. Mana amassed on his fist, directly striking far ahead.

The collision of two different powers was terrifying.

The Holy Palace, containing the Innate Big Array, automatically activated upon the shock, absorbing all the tremors from the impact.

At this moment, Sheng Wushuang's eyes were placid, as if achieving some state of transcendence.

The Eternal Marvelous Skill was a supreme method.

Even though he hadn't yet mastered it, using it still wielded earth-shattering might.

Instantly,

Lin Fan sensed a dangerous aura.

Quite powerful indeed.

My little envoy of wealth.
