Summit of the Old Gods

Lu Ran shared his joy, narrating the Heavenly Realm Martial Arts Divine Technique.

But as he spoke, his voice gradually grew softer.

Jiang Fairy listened silently, gently massaging his head: "Why did you stop talking?"

"I got too excited." Lu Ran said bashfully.

"You haven't been this happy for a long time, there's no need to restrain yourself." Though she was a Cold Fairy, her tone was as gentle as her fingertips.

Lu Ran sat up and turned his head to look at his lady, concerned: "What about the Phoenix儀九霄 Robe? Have you subdued it?"

"Progress is good, some consensus has been reached." Jiang Ruyi flexed her fingers slightly.

The Phoenix儀九霄 Robe, a second-rank magical artifact that boasted a noble destiny and was indeed very powerful.

It required a female emperor-type person, a true ruler above all beings.

Ordinary people,

Who would be worthy to wear the phoenix robe that commands the world?

In terms of power and realm, Jiang Ruyi currently does not surpass Feng Zhihuan, but in other respects, Feng Zhihuan is not even fit to carry Jiang Ruyi's shoes.

Jiang Ruyi, after all, is the Fake God Jade Talisman herself!

This alone makes her and Feng Zhihuan worlds apart!

Jiang Ruyi is also Lady Ran.

Cloud Sea Cliff, Pear Garden Sect, including the future Jingxian Island, will all be under the control of Ran Sect.

In recent days, the Phoenix儀九霄 Robe has witnessed what kind of leader Jiang Ruyi is.

What does Sea Realm Peak matter?

What do the disciples of second-class divine matter?

Those strong and powerful individuals, in front of Jiang Ruyi, are all respectful and submissive.

This series of events also forced the Phoenix儀九霄 Robe to acknowledge its new owner.

"Why aren't you wearing it?" Lu Ran asked puzzled.

"I wanted to see you, so I let the Shadow Guard Team hold it for me."

"Ha." Lu Ran sneered, "The Phoenix儀九霄 Robe always followed Feng Zhihuan, it should be quite accustomed to those kill-and-robbing operations, right?"

"Don't get angry with it, I'll tame it well." Jiang Ruyi patted Lu Ran's arm and then said, "By the way, you probably don't know, but the Phoenix儀九霄 Robe has a second function besides burning souls."

"A second function?"

"To discern truth and falsehood, loyalty and deceit."

"Ah?" Lu Ran blinked.

Jiang Ruyi smiled gently: "The Phoenix儀九霄 Robe claims that the mouths of humans can speak wonders, but their souls will not lie.

When it burns people's souls, it can discern whether their feelings are genuine or false.

If they harbor rebellious thoughts or are truly submissive."

Lu Ran was stunned!

This powerful?

Suddenly, he thought of something, and hurriedly said: "I'm telling you, the Phoenix儀九霄 Robe may have opinions about me! If it says I'm wrong here and there, you can't believe it, okay?"

"Haha~" Jiang Ruyi laughed softly.

Looking at Lu Ran's anxious little expression, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand, and gently pinch Lu Ran's cheek with her slender fingers:

"If the phoenix robe dares to say anything bad about you, I'll tear it to pieces myself."

Lu Ran: "..."

There's no need to be so extreme.

Just punish it harshly, correct it, and it's fine.

After all, the power of this magical artifact is quite formidable!

Jiang Ruyi, with her exceptional wisdom, hardly needed the magical artifact's help to understand what Lu Ran was thinking through his expressions.

She explained: "Since it's our magical artifact, it must be completely loyal to both you and me, how can we tolerate its disloyalty or little tricks?"

"Alright." Lu Ran turned his head; since he had already given her the phoenix robe, he didn't plan to interfere much.

This turn of his head, Lu Ran noticed the Golden Law Bow placed on the square table not far away.

Unmoving, it looked like an ordinary item.

Jiang Ruyi glanced in that direction, looking at the silent Golden Law Bow under the moonlight: "It seems to recognize you; after you went to rest in your room, it came in by itself.

These days, I've been wanting to chat with it, but I can't wake it up. You should be able to."

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment, then tentatively called: "Golden Law?"

The golden bow indeed floated up, slowly flying toward the bed.

Lu Ran sighed inwardly, reached out to grasp the hunting bow, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The Golden Law Bow remained silent, staying quietly in Lu Ran's hand.

Jiang Ruyi, seeing Lu Ran's predicament, spoke to the golden bow: "In a few days, we will head south to capture Jingxian Island, liberate the slaves there, and restore order to the island.

I have never met Jin Luyang, but I believe that such an island and a sect are what the Golden Heavenly Pride wants to see."

Lu Ran suddenly turned to look at Jiang Ruyi.

Jiang Ruyi displayed a look of curiosity.

Lu Ran softly said: "Golden Law Bow says thank you."

Jiang Ruyi was about to say something, but then Lu Ran continued: "It says its Divine Weapon Domain is not called Golden Crow Weeping Blood."

"What is it called then?"

"Golden Law Heavenly Punishment."

Jiang Ruyi leaned against the bedhead, her long legs crossed elegantly, pondering the origins of the name.

The name of this divine weapon domain is actually quite understandable.

Lu Ran continued to relay: "Jin Luyang compared the giant golden arrow hanging high in the sky to the decree of heaven and the golden arrow rain that falls to a judgment, exterminating the sins of the world.

Hence, named Golden Law Heavenly Punishment."

"Golden Heavenly Pride chose a good name." Jiang Ruyi nodded slightly.

Lu Ran looked at the golden bow in his hand and said, "I am not skilled with bows and arrows. I'll find a qualified judge for you. After arriving at Jingxian Island..."

"Buzz!!"

Before Lu Ran could finish his sentence, the Golden Law Bow started to vibrate violently.

Clearly, the Golden Law Bow had a strong sense of resistance.

Da Xia's genius, they all have their own pride, and the divine weapon in the hands of a heavenly pride is certainly no exception!

In this world, those able to gain the Golden Law Bow's approval are extremely rare.

Lu Ran is naturally one of them.

"Alright." Lu Ran's fingers brushed over the bow's body, "I lack the corresponding archery skills; I don't even qualify to cultivate a first-rank Divine Weapon Bow.

I am purely a swordman, who delved into this path from a young age.

In the eyes of a true martial artist, I am not a person, but a sword, and only a sword."

The young man's gentle words gradually calmed the violently reacting Golden Law Bow.

Lu Ran continued to soothe, "Don't worry, Golden Law! The person I am finding for you is a skilled archer, aligned with my aspirations."

Jiang Ruyi spoke at the right time, "She will be the fake god Ash, and in the future, might become the true Ash. Regardless of now or the future, she is Lu Ran's loyal warrior.

She is the executor of Lu Ran's will.

Your Domain of the Divine Weapon · Golden Law Heavenly Punishment will one day, under Lu Ran's guidance and in her hands, be used on the true judgment stage."

Lu Ran turned his head to look at the Immortal.

Jiang Ruyi stared back at him calmly, not thinking she had said anything wrong.

She is not one to spout nonsense, but special situations require special treatment.

The Golden Law Bow is a second-rank Divine Weapon!

Any divine weapon possessing a domain, which one is not world-destroying?

Not to mention, the Golden Law Bow was once the exclusive weapon of Da Xia's seventh genius.

In order to relieve Lu Ran, and to allow Luo Divine General to smoothly utilize this divine weapon, Jiang Ruyi intentionally spoke some bold words.

"Hmm... alright." Lu Ran's expression was peculiar; he raised the divine weapon, "Go, get some rest."

The Golden Law Bow flew to the nearby square table.

Jiang Ruyi: "Looks like it agreed to your arrangement."

Lu Ran scratched his head: "Sort of, but it still wants to personally oversee things."

However, Lu Ran has absolute confidence in Luo Divine General!

Jiang Ruyi did not continue the topic; she adjusted a pillow and casually asked, "Are you tired?"

Lu Ran's gaze fell on her crossed long legs.

She naturally possessed icy skin and jade-like flesh; under the moonlight, those long and slender legs seemed as white and alluring as mutton fat jade.

Looking downward, the graceful feet... and the beautiful arc of the arch, like a beautiful crescent moon falling from the sky into the human world.

Lu Ran pursed his lips.

His heart stirred secretly, but suddenly he realized the Golden Law Bow was still on the wooden table not far away.

Although it's just a weapon, but... nevermind.

Tonight, he wouldn't be a foolish emperor.

Lu Ran seemed deflated and fell onto the bed.

Jiang Ruyi didn't know what was wrong with Lu Ran, as if he suddenly became unhappy?

She picked up the corner of the quilt and covered Lu Ran with it.

The exquisite silk quilt from the human world was naturally brought back by Lu Ran and his people the last time they returned to the mountain.

At this moment, the living supplies in the master bedroom were completely renewed, no doubt with the help of Qin Divine General.

After all, aside from Lu Ran, only Qin Yanzhi can quickly travel back and forth between Pear Garden Sect and Cloud Sea Cliff to help transport goods.

"Have you been busy recently?" Lu Ran embraced Jiang Fairy, inhaling her faint hair fragrance.

"Just okay." Jiang Ruyi buried her face in Lu Ran's embrace and peacefully closed her eyes, "The grand hall on the main peak has been rebuilt. Tomorrow, you can hold a meeting there."

"So soon?"

"You've been in a coma for six days and five nights now."

"Alright then." Lu Ran muttered, "Tomorrow morning, I'll sign the contract with Martial Emperor and Luo Divine General."

"Luo Divine General returned to Cloud Sea Cliff." Jiang Ruyi added, "Xuan Shuang is advancing to the Sea Realm."

She was just holding a meeting in the back garden to organize the divine generals to return to their posts.

"Huh?" Lu Ran was quite delighted and immediately said, "Let's go, we'll return to the cliff to escort her."

Jiang Ruyi advised, "Lu Ran, you weren't sleeping for six days and five nights, but you were constantly tortured. You need rest."

"Actually, I'm pretty alright..." Lu Ran murmured quietly.

The body of the Sea Realm is indeed particularly resilient!

"One night won't make a difference." Jiang Ruyi's tone shifted, "In Pear Garden Sect, the disciples of various sects and factions, totaling 252 Weak God disciples, have all been ordered to tear up the Divine Contract.

Tomorrow morning, you will take them under your wing. After binding them with the stone sculpture to Martial Emperor, we shall return to the cliff."

"Hmm..."

Jiang Ruyi continued, "In the sect, the more than one hundred and fifty Martial Artist disciples, I haven't ordered them to tear up the contract for the time being.

While it's unclear how many Martial Artist disciples are in Holy Spirit Mountain, but the Pear Garden Sect has over four hundred in total. If they were all gone at once, it might be a bit conspicuous?"

"Good, I'll listen to you, we'll take it slowly."

Even though Lord Immortal Sheep continually expressed that Lu Ran could proceed with confidence, he was very supportive of Jiang Ruyi making such strategic decisions.

Lu Ran just felt extraordinarily fortunate to have such a Lady Ran.

During his coma, she must have worked hard, presiding over the situation, managing every detail of the sect's operations.

"Sleep, there's still a lot to do tomorrow..." Jiang Fairy murmured softly, seemingly talking in her sleep.

"Goodnight." Lu Ran gently pressed a kiss onto her hair.

"Mhm."
