Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

However, she was a little too late, because Xuanwu and the others had already come down. Lin Aoxue had originally planned to kill the fire dragon as soon as possible, take the things, and leave.

"Eh? Junior Sister Lin? It's you? You, you actually single-handedly killed this Fire Dragon in the mid-stage of the Four Extremes Secret Realm?" Xuanwu exclaimed in surprise when he saw the white dress and the peerless figure.

Lin Aoxue glanced at the person behind her, then used her magic to grab the treasure chest in the lava pool. There was nothing else in the treasure chest except a jade piece with many small characters engraved on it.

"Fire-attribute cultivation techniques? They're not really suitable for me, but they'd be better suited for my elder sister." Lin Aoxue didn't particularly like fire-attribute cultivation techniques.

Although she can practice any kind of cultivation technique, she mainly cultivates the wind attribute.

The item in Lin Aoxue's hand made the people behind her extremely envious; it was definitely one of the core inheritances.

"Senior Brother Xuanwu, you're too late. I've already killed the fire dragon," Lin Aoxue said after examining the jade piece.

Xuanwu was in a very awkward situation. She knew that Lin Aoxue was very strong in combat and definitely stronger than her, but she did not expect that she was this strong. You should know that from the time they fled this place to when Lin Aoxue killed the fire dragon, it was less than ten minutes.

"This? Sigh! No wonder you, Junior Sister Xuanmiao, were unwilling to act with us. So you wanted to do it all by yourself." Xuanwu gave a wry smile.

"Well, I'm not used to teaming up with others. Alright, I've already obtained the inheritance here, so it's worthless now. But you can take a look and see if there are any other treasures. I'm leaving now." After saying this, Lin Aoxue walked over to the four people standing behind Xuanwu.

Lin Aoxue recognized the four men's attire as the reinforcements they had summoned not long ago.

Lin Aoxue narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't leave immediately, but lingered in front of these people for a moment.

"Hmph! I know what you want to do, but I warn you, act according to your abilities, don't throw your lives away." Lin Aoxue coldly uttered these words before leaving the place.

These words plunged the four of them into an icy abyss. The killing intent in Lin Aoxue's words was too intense. If she could kill the fire dragon, killing the four of them would be an easy task for her.

These people did not deny it, after all, since Lin Aoxue had discovered their faction's follower, their purpose was naturally exposed.

What Lin Aoxue didn't know was that these people weren't actually looking for trouble with her.

Lin Aoxue jumped up at lightning speed, and the four of them exchanged glances. They actually had treasures prepared to deal with Lin Aoxue, but the problem was, they couldn't guarantee whether these treasures would actually work.

Xuanwu had also heard Lin Aoxue's voice. As soon as he heard what she said, he knew that these four people had come specifically to cause trouble for Lin Aoxue.

"Interesting. So you four are trying to deal with Junior Sister Lin? You think you can do this? What a joke! Don't you even know your place? Come on, let's play together and see what you're capable of." Xuanwu suddenly attacked the four of them.

Xuanwu unleashed its full power, and a huge phantom of a Xuanwu turtle appeared behind it.

As soon as the phantom of the Xuanwu appeared, the four of them immediately felt a strong sense of oppression. They did not want to waste time with Xuanwu here. Even if they could not deal with Lin Aoxue, they still had to find the inheritance.

“Senior Brother Xuanwu, we are also acting on orders from our faction. Everyone wants the identity of the Goddess of the Supreme Response Sect. Since the sect allows other factions to compete for it, why can't we compete within the rules? Don't make things difficult for us. We don't want to have a conflict with you. Otherwise, the four of us might not be afraid of you.” The four of them also unleashed their auras at the same time.

Individually, they are not as powerful as Xuanwu, but if the four of them join forces, Xuanwu might not necessarily be able to defeat them.

Xuanwu fell into deep thought for a moment, and then gradually withdrew its power.

"Hmph! A bunch of petty scoundrels. Junior Sister Lin was right just now. I advise you to stop having any crooked thoughts, or you'll end up dying here." After saying that, Xuanwu left directly.

As for Lin Aoxue, she fled at an extremely fast speed after she came out, not wanting to be entangled with these guys.

However, trouble was inevitable. When Lin Aoxue arrived at a canyon area on the south side of Black Soil Mountain, a fiery red handprint slammed down on her from the sky.

It was sudden, but Lin Aoxue reacted quickly. She drew her sword and cut the handprint in two with a burst of sword energy. After the handprint exploded, a man and a woman landed in front of Lin Aoxue.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Lin, we've finally caught you. We thought you were going to keep hiding." The newcomers were two personal disciples, one was Xuanbing from Tianhan Peak, and the other was Xuanyan from Tianhuo Peak.

The factions these two belong to, one ranked eighth and the other ninth, are top-tier factions. It's unexpected that they would also target Lin Aoxue.

Chapter 432 A safe retreat (5000 words)

Lin Aoxue stood facing the two men from a high vantage point; these two were quite famous among the new generation of direct disciples.

Tianhan Peak and Tianyan Peak are two rather unique factions within the Supreme Response Sect, because the peak leaders of these two factions are themselves Daoist partners.

Furthermore, Tianhan Peak only accepts female disciples, while Tianyan Peak only accepts male disciples, thus combining the inheritances of the two sects to create a synergistic effect.

The disciples of the two factions also formed Daoist partnerships with each other, and the two people in front of them were naturally Daoist partners as well. When the two of them went out together, they could unleash their Divine Intent Realm cultivation, and with other methods, they would be able to fight even against those at the Divine Body Realm.

It seems that the two of them want to challenge Lin Aoxue, and of course, they are not the only ones who want to challenge Lin Aoxue to prove their strength.

Those who had designs on Lin Aoxue, whether for the purpose of challenging her or to kill her, were all ordering their faction's disciples to keep an eye on her.

The fact that the two of them were able to find Lin Aoxue was because the group of people who had exposed Lin Aoxue's location not long ago.

"Hehe! I didn't expect that Senior Sister Xuanbing and Senior Brother Xuanyan would actually target me. That's quite unexpected." Lin Aoxue said with a mocking expression.

After Lin Aoxue finished speaking, her eyes became cautious and sharp.

Because often, although demonic beasts are stronger than human cultivators of the same level, humans are much more difficult to deal with than demonic beasts. Since humans cannot defeat you, they will prepare all sorts of methods.

Just like that fire dragon not long ago, if Lin Aoxue relied on her current abilities without using other means, it would be impossible for her to win.

These two dared to come looking for her, so they must have some kind of backing. However, since Ancestor Tianyi and the others knew that someone would definitely target Lin Aoxue in this Taixu Trial, they couldn't possibly not give Lin Aoxue a way to protect herself.

In fact, all of their direct disciples possess life-saving treasures, while the core disciples do not have this privilege.

These two didn't harbor much hostility towards Lin Aoxue. To put it bluntly, they wanted to prove their worthiness to become the divine son and goddess of the Supreme Response Sect by defeating Lin Aoxue.

"Hehe, well, there's nothing we can do about it. Who wouldn't want to sit in the position of goddess of the Supreme Response Sect? But we don't actually want to kill you, Junior Sister. We just want to prove that we have the ability to take your place," Xuanbing said with a smile.

Lin Aoxue understood what they meant. But she wasn't the kind of person who could be intimidated, and these two weren't so strong that she felt she couldn't handle them.

"Is that so? Then we'll have to see what you two are capable of. I've never had the habit of admitting defeat. Come on, this is, in fact, my first battle against a cultivator of the same realm since I broke through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm."

The sword intent of wind emanated from Lin Aoxue, spreading towards the two of them like fine threads.

However, they must have known about Lin Aoxue's abilities before daring to come against her. It's impossible that they came looking for trouble without any preparation.

“Husband!” Xuanbing glanced at Xuanyan.

The two immediately stood back to back, simultaneously forming hand seals. A chill and flame emanated from their bodies and then intertwined.

The two forces quickly merged to form a very large original form, which was both male and female, like a two-faced Buddha, radiating a very contradictory power.

This force actually blocked Lin Aoxue's Wind Sword Intent.

The sword intent of wind struck this dual-colored form, as if scraping against steel, leaving it completely unmoved.

"You've got some skills," Lin Aoxue said, somewhat surprised.

The two of them wasted no time; they seemed to have become one, their movements perfectly synchronized.

"Scorching sun."

"Cold moon."

"Fusion Secret Technique: Sun and Moon Shine Together"

Suddenly, the power emanating from the two of them coalesced into a moon and a sun, which simultaneously emitted terrifying energy rays.

The attack was almost 360 degrees without any blind spots, and Lin Aoxue could not dodge it because the attack covered too much area, encompassing a range of nearly three thousand meters. Wherever the light reached, the mountains and trees were completely melted.

This is a secret technique passed down from Heavenly Cold Peak and Heavenly Flame Peak. It can only be used by two people who cultivate the Flaming Sun Divine Art and the Cold Moon Divine Art simultaneously.

Furthermore, this technique requires the man and woman to be of one mind; otherwise, they cannot merge. Once this move is unleashed, its power will directly increase by an entire realm, while its power is only so-so when used alone.

This area has been completely transformed into a world of light, causing a great commotion. Many cultivators in the vicinity have sensed this fluctuation of power.

This force is extremely destructive. Ordinary cultivators at the Divine Form Realm would almost certainly die within this range. Even if they could use treasures to resist it, they would likely be seriously injured.

"Such a powerful attack! This power seems to be a fusion technique of Tianyan Peak and Tianhan Peak, doesn't it? Who would need them to use such a spell to deal with?" Many of the disciples recognized the two men's methods.

After the spell was cast, the area around the two people had become a huge crater, with only the spot where the two of them were located remaining intact.

"How is Madam? Did you defeat her?" Xuan Yan asked.

Xuanbing's eyes glowed blue as she locked onto Lin Aoxue's location. The area was shrouded in smoke, obscuring her vision, but soon a pair of piercing eyes emerged from the smoke.

"Huh? How is this possible? He hasn't fallen yet?" Xuan Bing was startled.

Among their peers, even Xuan Tian couldn't stop their attack, so they didn't think Lin Aoxue could defend herself unscathed.

"Hmph! It is indeed a very strong attack, but you two, don't you know that I have a technique that can make me immune to magical attacks?" Lin Aoxue's voice came from the smoke, and at the same time, a storm spread out, blowing away the surrounding smoke.

After the smoke cleared, a phantom woman in white appeared, hovering behind Lin Aoxue. This was not Lin Aoxue's true form, but rather her ethereal, ethereal form.

However, the shadow had already revealed its true form and was no longer as large as before. It was a woman who looked exactly like Lin Aoxue, but with an air of arrogance that Lin Aoxue lacked.

She floated behind Lin Aoxue, like a true celestial being, staring at the two of them with calm, unwavering eyes, as if looking at ants.

Lin Aoxue could only block that attack with her cheat code; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it on her own.

Once you reach the Four Extremes Secret Realm, it's very difficult to rely on your own combat power to advance beyond your level. Lin Aoxue is at the early stage of the Divine Form Realm, while the two of them are at the middle stage of the Divine Form Realm.

First of all, the two have almost double the cultivation level, which is not like the Dao Palace realm. The difference between the early and middle stages of the Dao Palace realm is only 30% in cultivation level.

The higher the level of mastery, the more difficult it becomes for the weak to defeat the strong.

Not to mention, these two, in a state of fusion of secret techniques, directly crossed a realm and are now considered to be in the mid-stage of the Divine Intent Realm, making it even more difficult for Lin Aoxue to deal with them.

However, these two could not maintain their state indefinitely. Lin Aoxue observed that their magical power was being depleted very quickly.

"This? This is the method you demonstrated at the Southern Ridge Gathering. I didn't expect it to actually have the effect of completely immunizing against magic. But so what?" Xuanbing seemed to have other methods up her sleeve.

Xuan Yan raised his hand and tossed a small stone demon onto the ground. The little guy was quite cute, but then Xuan Yan gave a command.

"Little Fatty, defeat her."

As soon as he said this, the little guy's expression turned fierce, and his body began to expand rapidly, soon turning into a stone man a hundred feet tall.

This is Xuan Yan's pet, a rare stone demon.

This stone demon doesn't know magic, but it possesses immense strength and unparalleled defense. Relying solely on brute force, it is far stronger than most demons of the same realm.

This stone demon possessed the cultivation of the early stage of the Four Extremes Realm. He raised his enormous palm and slapped it down heavily towards Lin Aoxue.

This is a physical attack, so Lin Aoxue couldn't possibly use the power of the Feathered Immortal Shadow to defend against it.

"They really came prepared." Lin Aoxue jumped back to dodge the attack, but the stone golem's huge hand smashed the spot where Lin Aoxue had been standing to pieces, and the ground shook a few times.

This attack also possessed the power of divine intent, meaning Lin Aoxue was essentially facing three enemies stronger than herself.

Seeing that their combined attack was ineffective against Lin Aoxue, Xuan Yan and the other man separated. This move had consumed too much mana, so their next move was to have the stone demon as the main attacker, while providing support attacks from the side.

More and more cultivators gathered around to watch the spectacle.

"That's right, Junior Sister Xuanmiao, how did she end up going up against Xuan Yan and Xuan Bing?" Many people couldn't understand it.

"What's so strange about that? She's a goddess now, and her status is already very sensitive. Everyone wants to take her place. How can we know what she's capable of if we don't fight her? We'll have to fight her sooner or later anyway, so we might as well test her strength first." Some of Lin Aoxue's personal disciples who were hostile to her sneered.

All they need to do now is witness this moment. If Xuan Yan and Xuan Bing, even working together, still lose to Lin Aoxue, then their chances of defeating Lin Aoxue by force are basically slim. This will serve as a valuable lesson for them.

Lin Aoxue, relying on her speed, was not attacked by the stone demon, but Xuan Yan and Xuan Bing were flanking from both sides.

"Tch! True Form - Manifest, Separate from Body." Lin Aoxue began to mobilize her power, allowing her true form to condense. Her true form became substantial at an extremely fast speed, and then, in a moment of clarity, it actually detached from her body and rushed towards another layer of Xuanbing, engaging in battle with Xuanbing.

This scene stunned the stone demon. He stood there, unsure of who to help, as Lin Aoxue's true form was facing the Xuan Yan.

"Little Stone, don't just stand there, go help your sister Xuanbing." Xuan Yan sent his pet to help Xuanbing.
