I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Although it wasn't his own innate extraordinary ability and couldn't unleash its true power, the sheer number of things Shi Daohan could borrow was undeniable.

Just like at this moment, she reflected three innate phenomena in the long river of history in one breath: the Ancestral Dragon Severing the Heavenly Gate, the Yin-Yang Diagram of Life and Death, and the Jianmu Tree Supporting the Sky. This does not seem to be her limit. Heaven knows how many innate phenomena she can use to reflect at once.

"Defying the heavens, monstrous."

The only four words used by the descendant of the Demon Emperor to describe him are truly inhuman.

If you don't have any innate extraordinary abilities, you try to find them in the long river of history, borrowing from those ancient sages and wise men who have passed away, without any regard for reason.

"Boom!"

Shi Daohan merged with the three extraordinary phenomena, and there were bursts of Daoist sounds resonating within her. She transformed into the supreme emperor in the extraordinary phenomenon of the Ancestral Dragon Severing the Heavenly Gate.

She sat high on the throne, majestic and boundless. The Yin-Yang diagram of life and death flowed behind her. The divine tree Jianmu was supported by one of her large hands, while the other hand pressed down forward.

"Boom!"

This strange space trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse.

The descendant of the Demon Emperor paled. This attack was too powerful. Her delicate hand collided with the emperor's boundless hand, which was accompanied by nine dragons, and a burst of dazzling light erupted, causing her body to tremble violently.

Shi Daohan gave his opponent no chance to breathe. The Jianmu tree supporting the sky and the Yin-Yang life-and-death diagram resonated, as if the universe was collapsing, pressing forward.

"Shen Qingyan, you'd better just surrender obediently!" Jing Xinyu shouted from afar.

"Wait, something's not right!" Suddenly, Shi Daohan noticed something was amiss.

The next second, this strange space constructed in the void was directly sliced ​​open.

A dazzling sword light cleaved open this strange space from the outside, and Shi Daohan noticed that the descendant of the Demon Emperor, whom he had suppressed under his great hand, had turned into a shower of light and vanished.

"It's just a spirit body." Shi Daohan was astonished. The formidable enemy he had fought for so long was actually just a spirit body of the Demon Emperor's descendant, not the real person!

They emerged from the void and reappeared in the real world.

Just ahead, on the rippling blue lake, stood a pure and beautiful woman in white, holding a jade sword. She was none other than Shen Qingyan, the descendant of the Demon Emperor!

Jing Xinyu laughed: "Sister is indeed amazing. She managed to create such a lifelike illusion using only a spiritual body, making a fool of us like monkeys."

Throughout the entire battle, Shen Qingyan herself remained outside, even fooling Jing Xinyu.

There is no concept of time in the void. Although Shi Daohan and the others fought fiercely just now, in the real world, only a moment had passed.

Many people on the lakeshore only saw the three beauties disappear at the same time and then suddenly reappear, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Shen Qingyan's stunningly beautiful face showed no change in emotion. Her bright eyes turned to Shi Daohan: "From your perspective, the chaos of the collapsing heaven is a catastrophe, but from our perspective, it is just a war to expand our territory."

Shi Daohan's eyes were icy: "So, in your eyes, the chaos of the collapsing heaven is still a just war worthy of praise?"

"From our perspective, there's really nothing wrong with it. From your perspective, hating us is also a matter of course and understandable."

But there are no eternal enemies in this world. Sometimes we may become allies fighting side by side for various reasons. Just like you and Jing Xinyu, can't a demon and a human stand together peacefully?" Shen Qingyan said calmly.

There are no eternal enemies. Even sworn enemies can sometimes choose to fight side by side for a common interest.

"Sizzle"

Suddenly, a magnificent net descended from the sky, enveloping Jing Xinyu, Shen Qingyan, and Shi Daohan beneath it.

This huge net, as if woven from countless galaxies, covered the entire azure lake, startling everyone present.

"My three beauties, my young master would like to invite you to be his guests. Please do me the honor of coming with me." Such a voice came from the sky.

"Is this how you invite people over? What if I don't do you the honor?" Jing Xinyu sneered.

Without saying a word, Shen Qingyan made her move. The battle sword in her hand burst forth with dazzling divine light, slashing into the sky with unparalleled sharpness.

"Snap!"

The massive net snapped, shattered by a single sword strike from this holy and ethereal descendant of the demon emperor, transforming it into a dazzling shower of light.

"My God, what a powerful sacred artifact that sword is!" Many people on the lakeside exclaimed in surprise.

That massive net was undoubtedly a sacred artifact of royal rank, and the identity and status of the person who created it were self-evident. Yet, it proved utterly fragile and vulnerable before this mysterious woman, a truly astonishing outcome.

The person who made the move was startled and retreated. Shen Qingyan looked at Shi Daohan again and said, "What has happened is what has happened. People should look forward. We don't necessarily have to be enemies."

Watching her graceful departure, Shi Daohan didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

"Hey, where are you going?" Jing Xinyu called out from behind.

"Let's go find something to eat with our drinks," Shi Daohan said without turning her head, as she arrived at a very lively area.

There are people in charge of barbecuing here, and all kinds of delicious food are available, as well as fine wines from all over the world, emitting an intoxicating aroma.

With wine and meat, Shi Daohan quickly forgot everything else, found a seat, and began to eat and drink heartily.

Some of the girls around started whispering among themselves.

"Did you see that? This person can really eat. I just saw her eat a whole roasted lamb, and she still wants more."

"Oh! It's you!" A beautiful young girl happened to be passing by and recognized Shi Daohan.

Shi Daohan recognized the other person as the young lady of the Frank family, who had fiercely bid against her for the remains of the Quasi-Saint at the last auction.

The eldest daughter of the Frank family was seething with hatred. It was Shi Daohan who had snatched that mysterious bone at the auction, and she had never expected to see him again in the capital.

"You also like to drink?" She sat down at Shi Daohan's table and smelled the aroma of wine from the gourd.

Shi Daohan nodded: "I drink a little occasionally."

"What kind of wine is this? Is it good?" The eldest daughter of the Frank family picked up the gourd and smelled it; the aroma was very strong.

Shi Daohan grinned and said, "Why don't you try it yourself and see?"

"Young Miss, this wine is of unknown origin..." A servant accompanying the eldest daughter of the Frank family hurriedly spoke up.

"This is the capital city. Even if she had ten times the courage, would she dare to harm me?" The eldest daughter of the Frank family held the gourd to her cherry-like lips, took a swig, and spat it out the next second.

"Pah! What is this?! It smells nice, but it tastes like gasoline!" The eldest daughter of the Frank family turned green.

"This is strong liquor, not something little girls like you can drink." Shi Daohan smiled as she took the gourd from her hand, and then gulped down several large mouthfuls right in front of her.

The eldest daughter of the Frank family frowned deeply, wondering how Shi Daohan could drink it.

"Friend, we missed out on that bone at the auction last time. We wonder if you would be willing to part with it? We are willing to buy it from you at a high price," a young man said.

He also came from the Frankish family and was the young lady's brother; he also appeared at the auction that day.

Last time, Shi Daohan only sensed the demonic aura on him from afar, but now that they are sitting together at close range, the information he can capture is much clearer.

This person has practiced the techniques of the demon race and can no longer be considered human.

"I'm sorry, I still have a use for that bone, and I don't have any plans to resell it for the time being," Shi Daohan said.

"That's such a pity. If you ever want to resell it, please contact us immediately. The price will definitely satisfy you," the boy smiled.

Shi Daohan was puzzled. Even she couldn't comprehend the remnant bone of that quasi-saint, and it wouldn't be enough to forge a weapon. Why would the other party care so much about that bone?

"The treasure auction has started! Let's hurry over and see what treasures are available." A crowd surged in the distance, and even the Sixteenth Princess was being ushered along in one direction.

"Let's go, let's go take a look too." The eldest daughter of the Frank family and the demon-transformed boy also set off.

Every time there was a gathering of nobles in the imperial city, it would attract merchants from all walks of life, who would take the opportunity to sell all kinds of utensils and materials.

Shi Daohan also went over to join in the fun, and at the same time used his divine sense to contact Sect Leader Qingxu remotely.

There are all sorts of things here, a dazzling array. Instead of carefully selecting them herself, she might as well just use her connections and have Sect Leader Qingxu oversee the selection for her.

"Do you think I have nothing better to do?" came the dissatisfied voice of the Qingxu Sect Leader.

"Hey, all the big and small matters are handled by the elders of the Council Hall. You only attend meetings occasionally. What could you possibly be busy with? Hurry up and use the Manifestation Technique to see if there are any rare divine materials worth buying here," Shi Daohan urged.

"Take ten steps forward, then turn left," said Master Qingxu. He used the method of manifestation in the Taiji Hall of Mount Shu to project the environment around Shi Daohan.

Following his directions, Shi Daohan walked ten steps forward and then turned left, arriving at a weapon-selling stall.

The stall owner was the manager of a very famous weapons shop in the imperial city, and he brought several of the shop's prized possessions and some antiques.

There were lamps, knife handles, sword hilts, etc... none of them were intact, all were broken and tattered, and some even had dirt on their surfaces, clearly funerary objects that had just been dug up from the ground.

"Forget about the funerary objects; they're all such dilapidated things. What value could they possibly have?"

A large crowd gathered in front of the stall, but in the end, they all shook their heads and left.

Funeral artifacts are already considered unlucky, and these were all broken and dilapidated; only a fool would buy them.

Shi Daohan successfully bought a beast tooth pendant at a low price. It was covered with cracks and didn't seem to have any special features. However, Sect Leader Qingxu said it was a dragon tooth.

Of course, the dragon here refers to the Western dragon, which is not the same species as the dragon in the Eastern Chinese tradition.

This place is a gathering place for merchants from all over the world. All sorts of strange and wonderful things are here. Wisps of auspicious clouds swirl around, and beams of divine light flow. The colorful array of colors is dazzling to the eye.

These are all decent spiritual weapons and magical artifacts, but Shi Daohan doesn't lack such things. What she wants are rare materials that can be used to refine weapons and set up formations, or something like the Three-Inch Golden Puppet that can be used as a trump card to double one's combat power in battle.

"Is this broken bowl also a spiritual weapon?" Shi Daohan arrived at a stall, pointing at a black bowl with a chip in it, speechless.

This must have been stolen from some beggar, right?

"What do you know? This is called returning to simplicity!"

The stall owner was also from the East, China. Seeing that Shi Daohan was from the same hometown, he didn't hide anything. He made a hand seal with one hand, recited an obscure incantation, and activated the dark, broken ceramic bowl.

"receive!"

He let out a soft shout, and the broken bowl wobbled and rose into the air. In the distance, the azure lake surged with waves, which gathered into huge columns of water, and then transformed into water dragons that disappeared into the broken bowl.

The surrounding crowd was alarmed and all rushed over to watch.

"What kind of holy artifact is this?!" someone exclaimed, stunned to find that most of the lake water had dried up.

Shi Daohan, however, disagreed, saying, "Uncle, what you have is at most a spiritual treasure containing spatial laws. I can refine it myself."

"Buy it!" Sect Leader Qingxu suddenly spoke up.

"It's just a spatial artifact; I don't need any more of those, why would I buy it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this might be an ultimate holy weapon!" Sect Leader Qingxu lowered his voice, as if worried that others would hear.

"What?! A supreme holy weapon?!" Shi Daohan almost exclaimed in surprise, and quickly used his divine sense to ask Sect Leader Qingxu, "This broken bowl is a supreme holy weapon? Old man, are you sure?!"

"I'm not sure, but it's already cost some money, so let's buy it first and then verify it later." Sect Leader Qingxu urged Shi Daohan to buy the broken bowl quickly, lest someone else snatch it away.

Shi Daohan, preferring to believe it was true rather than not, quickly pulled out a fist-sized piece of Ghost Tear Blood Jade and tossed it to the stall owner, saying, "I'll take this broken bowl!"

"Weren't you looking disgusted just now? Why do you want it now?" the stall owner said sarcastically.

"Just tell me if you're going to sell it or not. If you're not going to sell it, give me back the Ghost Tear Blood Jade." Shi Daohan didn't tolerate him and reached out to take back the Ghost Tear Blood Jade.

The stall owner immediately put away the Ghost Tear Blood Jade, and said with a smile, "Sell it, of course I'll sell it, but with such a large piece of Ghost Tear Blood Jade, I don't know how to give you change right now."

"No need for change. We're all from the same hometown, why worry about such things?"

Shi Daohan waved his hand dismissively, picked up the broken bowl, and left, as if afraid that the stall owner might suddenly change his mind.
