"What is friend with benefits?" Shu Meiyin was stunned. This was the first time she had heard such a thing.

Adam smiled meaningfully. "They're like a sketchy couple. Their relationship is closer than ordinary friends. They can understand each other deeply and complete the process you mentioned earlier. During this period, we don't have to fulfill duties like an official couple. Moreover, if I make a mistake during this period and make you feel that it is not suitable, we can end our relationship at any time."

Shu Meiyin carefully thought about it and felt that it was nothing wrong. They were more intimate than ordinary friends, but they did not cross the line and do anything excessive.

Shu Meiyin's heart skipped a beat as she gazed at Adam's gentle expression, her eyes drinking in the sight of his handsome features.

"Alright," she said, her teeth gritted in a mixture of reluctance and resolve. If this didn't work out, she was prepared to end things. But her heart whispered to her tha

    As Shu Liang mentioned the Devil Cloud Sect, Adam's face turned grave. "Let them come. I'll kill them all," he said, his voice firm and determined. He stood tall, his eyes fixed on the horizon, his fists clenched in anticipation.The group was taken aback by Adam's bold declaration, but they were also curious about what made him so confident. On the other hand, Shu Meiyin gazed at Adam with admiration. She knew that his master was incredibly powerful, and she was certain that he had given Adam a special treasure to protect him. Her eyes sparkled with pride as she watched him stand tall.As she smiled, Adam's eyes widened. Her beauty was breathtaking even though he could only see it faintly behind her veil, like the sun breaking through the clouds. His heart skipped a beat as he felt himself drawn to her."Thank you," Shu Meiyin said, her voice soft and gentle, as she accepted the Dragon Rage Sword from Adam.However, she quickly realized that her words might be too formal, given the

    Shu Liang frowned as he heard Adam's words, his gaze drifting to Shu Meiyin, who was now crimson-faced. He couldn't help but sighed at the awkwardness of the situation. Shu Meiyin, on the other hand, looked like she was about to burst into flames from embarrassment, her hands fluttering nervously in front of her as Adam's words made it seem like they were already husband and wife.Shu Liang ignored his little sister's embarrassment as he said, "In these ruins, each Sacred Beast guards a different treasure. That Sacred Beast they are fighting over there is guarding a specific plant, a Celestial grade herb called Blood Moon Orchid."Adam's eyes widened in surprise. Blood Moon Orchid was an extremely rare and valuable Celestial grade herb, with immense healing properties. It was said that even a tiny amount of its essence could heal even the gravest wounds.With that knowledge, Adam instantly knew why the group was fighting so fiercely over it. The herb could be the key to their surviva

    Adam turned to Chi'er, his brow furrowed with concern. He sent a telepathic message, [Chi'er, who is this man?]A few moments later, Chi'er's voice echoed in Adam's mind. [Young Master, this is Wang Jie. He is the son of Wang San, the head of the prestigious Golden Dragon Academy. Wang Jie has a unique physique called the Extreme Fire Body, and he has already reached the peak stage of the Heaven Transformation realm. His talent is truly exceptional. He can even fight against cultivators stronger than himself. That's why he's so highly respected among the young generation.]Adam nodded slightly as he heard the description. This Wang Jie seemed like a formidable opponent in both talent and appearance.Chi'er's expression grew more serious as she continued, [However, Young Master, there is something you should be aware of. Wang Jie has been pursuing Miss Shu for a long time, but she has always rejected his advances. Miss Shu has made it clear that she will only be with a man who is stron

    The group stood rooted to the spot in shock as the Sacred Beast roared once more, causing the ground to tremble.Adam quickly turned to Chi'er. [What is that?]Chi'er's voice was shaky as she replied. [It's a Hellfire Lion. They are terrifying creatures, created by the black flames of the Desolate Abyss. They can control celestial fire, and their strength is known to rival that of a mid-stage Divine Transformation Realm.]Adam nodded calmly, and the Hellfire Lion charged towards them with incredible speed, its powerful claws leaving deep gouges in the ground. Adam watched as Wang Jie, already in a bad mood, became increasingly agitated. Wang Jie pointed his finger angrily at the massive Hellfire Lion and growled, "You beast! You'd better die and quell my rage!"As soon as Wang Jie finished speaking, he slowly drew his sword, the renowned Red Dragon Sword, and prepared to strike. The blade, shimmering with a dangerous glint in the sunlight, was raised high above his head. His eyes nar

    Adam's every step was measured and deliberate, his eyes locked onto the sacred beast before him. The Hellfire Lion, having regenerated and bolstered its strength, stood tall and menacing, its fiery gaze fixed on Adam.The onlookers, aware of Wang Jie's extraordinary prowess, were skeptical of Adam's chances. Wang Jie had proven time and again that he was a prodigy, destined for greatness. His Red Dragon Sword was a weapon of immense power, capable of feats few could match. How could this relatively unknown figure hope to compete?However, there was an air of quiet confidence about Adam that was hard to ignore. Shu Meiyin, standing to the side, watched intently, her eyes filled with admiration. Her apparent preference for Adam had already stirred curiosity and speculation among the crowd.As for Wang Jie, he naturally didn't believe that Adam could defeat the Hellfire Lion. The beast possessed a passive skill that granted it an extraordinarily strong recovery effect. Even the Red Drago

    Wang Jie was growing increasingly agitated and embarrassed. He felt the urge to spit out a mouthful of blood. Originally, he had hoped to witness Adam make a fool of himself, but now the tables had turned, and he was the one who was the butt of the joke.Murderous intent had already begun to stir within his heart. If he was confident he could defeat Adam, he would have attacked him long ago without hesitation. However, the knowledge that he was no match for Adam's strength held him back.On the other hand, Adam seized the opportunity to showcase his impressive abilities. With a light touch of his right hand, he effortlessly summoned the treasure guarded by the Hellfire Lion, the Ancient Holy Pearl, causing it to swiftly fly towards him."Isn't that the Ancient Holy Pearl?" the onlookers exclaimed in awe.Seeing the precious pearl, everyone's eyes gleamed with greed. They couldn't help but cast envious glances at Adam as he grasped the coveted treasure in his hand.With the Ancient Hol

    Shu Meiyin's face flushed as she clung to Adam's clothes, her heart pounding. The world around her had transformed into a vast sea of stars, each one glowing with an ethereal light. It was as if they were floating in the boundless expanse of the universe, far removed from the chaos they had just escaped."What is this place?" Shu Meiyin asked, her voice cold and distant. It wasn't intentional. Her demeanor had always been this way. Years of training had shaped her into someone who rarely showed her true emotions. Changing her tone now was difficult.Adam smiled, his expression calm and reassuring. "This is the world inside the Longyi Pagoda.""Longyi Pagoda?" Shu Meiyin's eyes widened in confusion and amazement. The existence of such a treasure was beyond anything she had ever imagined.Just now, when the Immortal Transformation level aura approached, she thought that she would die on the spot. She didn't expect Adam to pull her into the inner world of the pagoda at such a critical mo

    "That's it! The Nine Heavens Flower!" The exclamation reverberated through the air. All eyes turned towards the shimmering blossom that now hovered in the center of the clearing, its ethereal petals unfurling in a mesmerizing dance.The pure, vitality-infused aura that radiated from the flower was palpable, washing over the assembled cultivators and stirring their most primal instincts. It was as if the very air had been imbued with a potent elixir, intoxicating the senses and igniting a feverish craving within each onlooker. The greed that now shone in their eyes was a tangible thing, a palpable hunger that threatened to consume all reason and restraint.Even the usually composed Shu Meiyin found herself unable to mask the joy that bloomed across her features. Her gaze was transfixed, her heart racing with an unbridled ambition. "This truly is the Nine Heavens Flower," she murmured, the words escaping her lips in a hushed, almost reverent tone.In that moment, Shu Meiyin's fighting

    The Renhuang Lamp users found themselves utterly perplexed by the unfolding events. According to their meticulously gathered intelligence, they had a comprehensive understanding of the laws Adam had mastered. Among these were several formidable abilities, but spatial laws were conspicuously absent from his repertoire. Adam was undeniably powerful, his mastery over certain elements a testament to his prowess. However, the creation of a spatial gate and the ability to traverse the void were feats that unequivocally required a profound understanding and mastery of spatial laws—something they were certain Adam lacked.As they stood there, facing Adam who had just appeared before them seemingly out of nowhere, their confusion grew deeper. The ability to create a spatial gate was not a trivial skill; it was an advanced technique reserved for those who had devoted significant time and effort to mastering the intricate laws of space. Traversing the void, an even more complex feat, required a

A brilliant, blinding screen of light suddenly materialized in the air, its intensity so overwhelming that it bathed the entire area in an eerie, otherworldly glow. This was no mere light; it was infused with a divine energy so potent that it instantly sealed off the entire space, creating an impenetrable barrier.

    As the four guests took their places, the hall fell into a hushed silence. The moment was ripe for formalities and introductions, but the undercurrent of tension and anticipation was palpable. The guests from the Leng Clan had come with a purpose, and their visit was likely to have far-reaching implications for the Shu Clan and its dealings in the Sacred Immortal Realm.In this charged environment, every gesture, every word exchanged, would carry weight. The presence of such formidable individuals from the Leng Clan signaled that something significant was on the horizon, and the Shu Clan was poised on the brink of a potentially transformative engagement.Among the visitors from the Leng Clan, there was a notable disparity in their cultivation levels, which immediately became apparent. One of them was at the peak stage of Immortal, and the other three were at the middle stage. The peak stage Immortal, who took the lead in this delegation, was particularly striking. He wore resplendent

Leaders and elders of these factions held secret meetings, their discussions filled with anxiety and urgency.

Every decision, every move had to be carefully considered to navigate the turbulent times ahead.Adam was biding his time, strategically waiting for the right moment.

Adam was keenly aware that to achieve a decisive victory, he needed to face his enemies when they were gathered in one place, unified in their opposition. Only then could he deli

    The visitors were all powerful Immortals from the Wu Clan, the most dominant force in the central region. Renowned for their overwhelming strength, the Wu Clan boasted numerous mid-stage to peak-stage Immortals among their ranks. Their fearsome reputation was well-deserved, as their formidable power made them nearly unstoppable.In this particular instance, the Wu Clan did not need to deploy their entire might to obliterate the Shu Clan. Their unparalleled strength was more than sufficient for such a task. However, circumstances had compelled them to act with urgency, leaving them with no alternative but to address the situation immediately. Despite their reluctance, the Wu Clan found themselves compelled to intervene and take decisive action.As the Wu Clan group approached the Shu Clan's territory, they looked around cautiously, their eyes scanning the area. Their gazes soon fell upon ten Immortals they did not recognize. These mysterious figures stood with an air of confidence, and

    "The Wu Clan was once a formidable force," Shu Nantian began, his tone imbued with respect and a hint of trepidation. "Their power was legendary, known far and wide. However, their prominence seemed to fade after their ancestors mysteriously disappeared fifty thousand years ago. Since then, the Wu Clan had largely kept to themselves, shrouded in secrecy and isolation. It was as if they had vanished from the annals of history, becoming a mere whisper among the other great powers."He paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "Then, without warning, the Wu Clan re-emerged. They did not just return quietly; they revealed a trump card that no one had anticipated. They possess an army of Immortals, a force so powerful it defies comprehension. With this newfound strength, they began to assert their dominance, aiming to rule the eastern region and claim hegemony over all. Their ambition knew no bounds; they demanded that all the various forces submit to their will."Shu Nantia

    Jiang Shuyin, her voice clear and confident, broke the tense silence. "Their territory is quite distant from here. If we wait for them to send reinforcements, it could take some time," she remarked, her words carrying both a statement of fact and a subtle challenge to the patience and strategy of those present.Adam, standing with a calm and composed demeanor that belied the tension in the air, responded thoughtfully. "These people are on the verge of death," he began, his tone steady and authoritative. "If they want to live, they will certainly convey to their reinforcements the urgency of the situation. They will spare no expense and will rush here at their greatest speed, using the teleportation array. I am confident they can achieve this."His words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of inevitability. The logic was unassailable; those in desperate straits would go to any lengths to save themselves, and the advanced means at their disposal—such as the teleportation array—would

    As the figures of Adam and Jiang Shuyin materialized at the Shu Clan, the reaction from the surrounding immortals was palpable. Immortal Wang, Immortal Kong, Immortal Yan, and several others who had been eagerly waiting for any news couldn't help but narrow their eyes in surprise. Their astonishment wasn't just due to the sheer speed of Adam's return, but also because of the presence of Jiang Shuyin at his side, the very person connected to the heart of the Jiang Clan's issues. Each Immortal found their minds racing with similar thoughts. Had Adam managed to address the troubles plaguing the Jiang Clan in such a short span of time? The astonishment in their eyes and the careful way they exchanged glances spoke volumes. Everyone, which had been filled with a tension born of unresolved conflict, now bristled with an undercurrent of curiosity and silent speculation, as the implications of Adam's swift return began to settle in."Grandpa Nantian, have you recovered from your injury?"
