Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

Time flew by and more than ten days had passed.

In the Holy Road, the rankings of the Holy Seals would appear on everyone's Holy Quest.

However, only the top ten would be displayed.

Gu Lingxiao firmly held the first place with a six-digit number of Holy Seals, leaving the rest far behind with over two hundred thousand Holy Seals.

The small trials and encounters with fierce beasts along the way were basically a piece of cake for him.

If he encountered a few unlucky individuals on the way, and their number of Holy Seals was passable, Gu Lingxiao would crush them and take away half.

Lin Yuan, as the Son of Destiny, did not make it into the top ten.

However, as Gu Lingxiao knew, Lin Yuan had gained quite a lot.

In just ten days, he had obtained two clusters of divine fire that had never appeared in the Immortal Domain before.

If these two clusters of divine fire were to be ranked, they would easily make it into the top fifty of the Divine Fire Rankings.

After obtaining these two clusters of divine fire, not only did Lin Yuan's injuries heal completely, but he was also just one step away from refining a complete Divine Fire Dao Body.

If he obtained another cluster of divine fire, he would undoubtedly be able to successfully refine the Divine Fire Dao Body.

Even if he couldn't find the third divine fire by the end of the Holy Road, during the Holy Qi Baptism stage, he could rely on a large amount of holy qi to cleanse his body and refine the Soul Refining Fire Dao Body.

The path ahead of Lin Yuan was smooth sailing.

If a real battle were to break out, apart from Gu Lingxiao and Yuan Xiner, it was feared that no one on the Heavenly Pride Rankings would be able to match him.

Even the likes of the Son of Heavenly Light and Du Muqingyu would probably be slightly inferior.

Yuan Xiner ranked fifth in terms of the number of Holy Seals.

Although it seemed like a low ranking, everyone in front of her, except for Gu Lingxiao, were senior Holy Realm powerhouses.

She ranked second among the younger generation, firmly suppressing the likes of the Son of Heavenly Light.

"This feeling is getting stronger and stronger..."

When Yuan Xiner finished another small trial and held a sacred artifact in her hand, there was no joy on her face.

On the contrary, her expression was extremely solemn.

Because the call of the Holy Road to her was becoming stronger and stronger.

"Hongying, I'm ready to go."

Yuan Xiner's expression was solemn as she gazed at the long spear in front of her.

"You're ready to leave?"

Hongying's figure appeared as a phantom from within the long spear.

"Yes. If the worst-case scenario happens this time, the person who brings the end of the world follows me to this era, kills me and Young Master Gu, and the Patriarch of the Gu Family doesn't make a move, or if we are defeated. You should hide and wait for the right moment to make a move."

Yuan Xiner was clear that her current actions were equivalent to fishing.

Using herself as bait to lure out the person who brings the end of the world, and then using Gu Lingxiao as bait to lure out the Patriarch of the Gu Family.

And then let these two big fish collide with each other.

Compared to the regular cultivation path, this move could be considered a risky strategy.

Once things develop in a favorable direction, her mission can be declared completed ahead of schedule.

"Hide?"

Hongying laughed heartily. "Where can I hide? If the person who brings the end of the world makes a move, I'm afraid both you and I will die."

"So, this time, you don't need to come with me."

Yuan Xiner's expression was calm.

This statement caused Hongying's eyes to widen.

"Hey hey! What did you say? You don't want to bring me along?"

"No, I don't. I can handle it on my own this time."

"Don't play the hero at a time like this!"

Hongying wanted to say something more, but once again, Yuan Xiner unilaterally cut off their connection.

Calmly, she summoned a formation disk from her storage space, and a protective formation was released simply.

This is the simple formation she obtained in the Holy Road.

It can easily withstand attacks from the Holy Realm level and also has a certain hidden effect.

From all aspects, it is a rare treasure.

The only drawback is that it can only be used once.

But in Yuan Xiner's opinion, this is not a big disadvantage.

After hiding the Red Tassel, she consecutively activated several prohibitions for hiding and protection.

As long as it's not a Ninth Order Saint, as long as the Ninth Order Saint doesn't crazily search in a carpet-like manner, Yuan Xiner can ensure the safety of the Red Tassel.

After completing all this, Yuan Xiner finally crushed the jade token given to her by Gu Lingxiao.

In less than a moment, Gu Lingxiao appeared in front of her.

"Long time no see, Young Master Gu."

While waving at Gu Lingxiao, Yuan Xiner hopped around like a child who hadn't grown up.

"Let's go."

Gu Lingxiao didn't show too much enthusiasm towards Yuan Xiner.

"Okay, let's go!"

Yuan Xiner didn't waste any time on small talk or pleasantries. Instead, she turned into a streak of light and headed in a certain direction.

Gu Lingxiao followed behind Yuan Xiner, and the two of them disappeared like shooting stars.

They traversed through forests, snowfields, volcanoes, deserts...

In just a few minutes, they arrived at a desolate plain with no signs of human activity.

There was not a single blade of grass on the ground, nor any small animals. It was as flat as a cross-section cut by a sword.

After arriving here, Yuan Xiner didn't waste any time.

A strange power erupted from her body, and the aura emanating from her became increasingly similar to the aura when the Holy Road was opened, to the point where it could be said to be identical.

Gu Lingxiao silently watched Yuan Xiner, who was radiating holy light all over her body, and saw her aura growing stronger and stronger.

He knew that this was not the power from Yuan Xiner's body, but the power from the Holy Road.

This made Gu Lingxiao somewhat incredulous.

He had never heard of anyone being able to connect with the Holy Road.

It could only be said that the protagonist was worthy of being the protagonist. Extraordinary things that were unprecedented often happened to them.

"The entrance is about to open."

As Yuan Xiner's voice fell, a towering white pillar of light rose from her body.

When the pillar of light gradually disappeared from her body, half of a ladder appeared in front of the two of them.

The other half was hidden in the clouds and mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

Gu Lingxiao waved his hand, and a huge barrier enveloped the plain, preventing outsiders from entering.

"By stepping on this ladder, we can enter."

A large amount of information flooded into Yuan Xiner's mind, and the function of the ladder also became clear in her mind.

She took the lead in stepping onto the ladder, with Gu Lingxiao following closely behind.

A tremendous pressure descended upon them, as if it wanted to crush them.

With each step forward, the pressure grew stronger.

This was a small trial.

If they couldn't withstand even this pressure, they wouldn't be qualified to enter the depths of the Holy Road.

Gu Lingxiao and Yuan Xiner remained calm.

This level of pressure might be considered a trial for ordinary geniuses, but for Gu Lingxiao, a monster, and Yuan Xiner, a daughter of destiny, it was nothing at all.

The pressure did not hinder their progress as they walked the half ladder beneath the clouds.

They stepped into the clouds, and a palace hidden within the mist appeared brightly in front of them.
