Li Xiaonan was taken aback. A Celestial Artifact? After all those years of struggle with the Carefree Fan, it had been promoted to a Celestial Artifact?
Seeing him in a daze, Ling Tian assumed he was reluctant to share the origin of the Celestial Artifact and did not press him. He flipped his palm, revealing a yellow-green Jade Eye Tablet.
"Little brother, your cultivation is still too weak. Once you break through to the Tribulation Stage, you'll be able to cultivate this All Things Grow technique," Lingyun said with a smile as he placed the Jade Eye Tablet into Li Xiaonan's hands.
"Thank you, Ling Senior!" Li Xiaonan gratefully accepted it.
White Lang wiped his mouth and said defiantly, "You're just making excuses! You won because of the Celestial Artifact! If you have the ability, let's fight barehanded!"
Li Xiaonan was about to retort when Lingyun interjected, "A real man can win or lose gracefully. If Li Xiao Brother didn't possess extraordinary strength and opportunities, do you really think this Celestial Artifact would acknowledge him as its master?"
White Lang was momentarily stunned and couldn't find a counterargument.
Duan Yu stepped in to mediate, saying, "Everyone has seen enough and played enough. Let's head inside and discuss serious matters!"
The group nodded and hurriedly followed Lingyun into the bamboo building.
As Li Xiaonan stepped onto the stairs, he curiously jumped twice and exclaimed, "This is fun! It feels so real!"
"What do you mean 'feels like'? It is real! As long as you comprehend the principles of All Things Grow, you too can create such bamboo houses," Lingyun said, smiling at his childlike innocence while offering guidance.
Li Xiaonan nodded appreciatively and used a voice transmission technique to ask, "Senior, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. Do you really think my Carefree Fan is a Celestial Artifact?"
Lingyun was taken aback, looking at Li Xiaonan with surprise.
"Ha ha, no need to be shocked, Senior. This is what my father-in-law taught me. After all, there are many people around, and some things are not convenient to say."
Lingyun nodded, and those who were observant naturally noticed the strange atmosphere that had suddenly fallen over the two.
"You truly are a talented young man. I only recently learned this voice transmission technique myself. That treasure of yours is indeed a Celestial Artifact. Although I have never seen a Celestial Artifact, I have read some texts after reaching the Great Ascension stage. It has a spirit that can communicate with its master and can take on a human form, which is precisely the unique feature of a Celestial Artifact. I wonder..."
Lingyun lowered his head, but his gaze slightly lifted as he glanced at Li Xiaonan.
"Well... Ling Senior, we are merely acquaintances, yet you treat me so well. I have nothing to hide; this Carefree Fan was crafted by me. It has been with me since I began my cultivation; it is my Destined Artifact!"
Seeing Lingyun suddenly stop in his tracks, Li Xiaonan thought he was skeptical and hurriedly added, "I can swear on my Inner Demon! It really is something I made myself. My Master's Wife—uh, that is, Elder Huang Yan from the Outer Academy—can also vouch for me!"
Lingyun mechanically raised his head, almost producing a clumsy sound.
"This Celestial Artifact was truly crafted by you?" Lingyun momentarily lost focus and forgot to use the voice transmission technique, instinctively speaking out loud.
This immediately drew countless gazes. Li Xiaonan's face flushed red, feeling an odd sensation as if he had been stripped bare in public.
Duan Yu said lightly, "Though this Carefree Fan is different from before, I can attest that it was indeed crafted by him."
When the Grand Elder of the Outer Academy spoke, who would dare to doubt?
Li Xiaonan awkwardly smiled and addressed everyone, "Let's discuss this later; for now, let's talk about the demon clan!"
Lingyun nodded. As the host, he naturally took the main seat, with Duan Yu sitting beside him, followed by various elders and leaders from different sects.
Li Xiaonan glanced around the spacious bamboo hall and casually chose a corner to sit down.
Suddenly, Lingyun said, "Little brother, why are you sitting there? Come over!" As he spoke, he shifted aside and even offered up the main seat.
Li Xiaonan smiled as he scratched his head and stood up, taking a few steps to sit down beside Lingyun without any hesitation.
Ah! The feeling of being on high is truly wonderful! Is this what it feels like to be a ruler? Not bad, not bad!
“Li Xiaoyang, you’ve gone foolish again!” Duan Yu's words felt like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
He smiled awkwardly, not wasting any more words, and directly recounted everything he had seen and heard in the Demon Realm.
Initially, several sect leaders were displeased with Li Xiaonan sitting in the main seat, but upon hearing the news he brought, they were all shocked.
“It seems we only have a month left... Li Xiao Brother, who do you think will take the lead?” Lingyun asked.
Li Xiaonan was momentarily distracted, his thoughts drifting away as the image of the silver-haired, silver-eyed Witch appeared before him, her enchanting figure twisting continuously.
He silently thought: As long as it's not Fei Ji, anyone else will do! I’ll just punch him into oblivion!
Clearing his throat, he said, “It’s hard to say… As long as Jack doesn’t come, we should be able to handle anyone else.”
“You mean his Divine Dragon Cannon?” Lingyun couldn’t help but frown.
Li Xiaonan nodded. “Yeah, it only requires a little True Essence Power, but its attack power is astonishing.”
“Kid, don’t boost others’ morale while diminishing your own!” said a green-haired figure with an explosive hairstyle.
Li Xiaonan glanced at the Green-Haired Turtle and waved his hand. A Divine Dragon Cannon appeared before everyone. He coldly remarked, “This is the only Divine Dragon Cannon I managed to acquire on this trip. I’m not sure how powerful it really is, but you can try it for yourself!”
Duan Yu and Lingyun exchanged glances and said to the crowd, “Let’s go outside and give it a try!”
A group of people found an open space and placed the cannon in the middle. Duan Yu asked, "Li Xiaoyang, how do you use this thing?"
Li Xiaonan glanced at the previous Green-Haired Turtle and said, "I advise you not to stand in front of the cannon. In the later stages of fusion, it's not as powerful as you might think."
He slowly walked to the back of the cannon, adjusted its position, and aimed the muzzle at the open ground. Channeling his True Essence Power, he struck the circular formation at the cannon's rear with his palm.
With a loud boom, a light sphere the size of a watermelon shot out, kicking up dust wherever it went. The immense pressure caused the air to stagnate; its power could rival that of a Tribulation Stage Cultivator's ultimate move.
Duan Yu lifted his dislocated jaw back into place and said, "You only managed to get one?"
Li Xiaonan's lips twitched as he sneered, "Adoptive father, do you think this is just some vegetables or radishes that you can toss into a basket? One is already quite impressive!"
Lingyun nodded and patted Duan Yu on the shoulder. "We still have a month; we need to come up with a strategy. Li Xiao Brother, you should take this Divine Dragon Cannon back!"
Li Xiaonan quickly shook his head and declared solemnly, "The cultivation world belongs to all Cultivators; this Divine Dragon Cannon should naturally remain where it is most needed. Keeping it for myself would be useless."
In truth, Li Xiaonan was lying; three more Divine Dragon Cannons were lying in the Seven-Level Pagoda, reserved for Qingyu City. Who knew how far the war would spread once it broke out?
People are inherently selfish; it was only natural for Li Xiaonan to consider his own family.
Lingyun nodded with emotion and suggested, "This is the first battlefield of the Demon War; why don't we set up this Divine Dragon Cannon at the Underworld Demon Sea?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they were envious of the Divine Dragon Cannon's power, no one dared to think about claiming it for themselves.
After all, if the Starry Illusion Continent fell, other planets wouldn't escape either; they would eventually be devoured by the demon race.
Duan Yu sighed as he touched the cannon's body. "It's a pity there's only one; if only..."
"Don't worry, Father-in-law. Although the Demon Clan has many Divine Dragon Cannons, the true manufacturers are not them. There is still a month before the war officially begins, and I will find a way to get a few more!" Li Xiaonan spoke earnestly.
The gazes of everyone around him changed; no one regarded him as an ordinary lackey anymore. Initially, White Lang had wanted to challenge him, but at this moment, he could only lower his head in shame. Even Snow Wolf looked at him differently, with a hint of ambiguity in his eyes, but unfortunately, Li Xiaonan ignored it completely.
Lingyun said, "Alright, everyone disperse! We have a month left; let's do our best to prepare. Li Xiao Brother, you just returned from the Demon Clan, so take some time to rest! There are many things waiting for you afterward!"
Following his words, everyone scattered to their respective rooms in the bamboo house to rest.
Li Xiaonan grabbed Lingyun, who was about to leave, and said, "Senior, I have something to discuss with you. Adoptive father, you come too!"
A few cultivators stole glances in Li Xiaonan's direction. Although they were curious to eavesdrop, none of them could bring themselves to do so openly. Only Scattered Immortal Gu Ming stood with his arms crossed, leering at them intently.
Li Xiaonan didn't mind and directly entered an empty room, sitting on the floor. "The Demon Clan is about to invade. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!"
Duan Yu and Lingyun exchanged smiles, having guessed what Li Xiaonan meant.
"Li Xiaoyang, wait a moment; there might be ears on the other side of the wall!" Duan Yu reminded him.
Li Xiaonan waved his hand dismissively. "It's fine!"
He smiled at Lingyun and asked, "Why were you willing to give me such a precious All Things Grow when we first met?"
"Although this is our first meeting, I feel a strong affinity with you. All Things Grow is not from my sect; it was something I stumbled upon during an adventure. What's wrong with giving it to someone fated for it?"
Li Xiaonan scratched his head awkwardly. With a flip of his hand, a wooden box appeared in his palm. He grinned and said, "Aren't you curious why I can refine Celestial Artifacts? This is the reason."
Saying this, he handed the box over to Lingyun.
Lingyun opened the box and was taken aback, a flicker of anger crossing her face. "How could you refine Yuan Ying into a magical artifact? I'm so disappointed..."
"Haha! Yuan Ying, you don't want it, but I do!" Gu Ming suddenly burst into the room, his target clear: the wooden box in Lingyun's hands.
Li Xiaonan frowned, his right hand clawing out to block Gu Ming.
"Huh? How could you possibly?" Gu Ming exclaimed, his eyes wide with confusion.
In an instant, the power displayed by Li Xiaonan shocked the three present. A Fusion Stage Cultivator could withstand an attack from a Fourth Stage Scattered Immortal?
It was utterly unbelievable! No one would believe it if they heard!
"Senior Gu, there's a proper order to things; please don't rush," Li Xiaonan said, narrowing his eyes as he addressed Lingyun. "Ling Senior, you misunderstood. This isn't Yuan Ying; it's a Demon Infant, a malformed Demon that resulted from the split of the demon race. It cannot grow or advance."
Upon hearing this, Lingyun's expression softened slightly. Li Xiaonan continued, "Setting aside the fact that the demon race is our enemy, if the Demon Infant doesn't encounter a benevolent master, it won't be long before it dies without the support of Spiritual Energy from the world. So refining it into a Destined Artifact not only doesn't harm the heavens but is actually a great act of kindness!"
"You make a valid point," Lingyun conceded as she closed the box and stored it in her Storage Ring.
Gu Ming scoffed, "Hmph! If you don't want it, just give it to me! I'm quite fond of it!"
Duan Yu actually wanted to say something similar but had to lower his head and pretend he hadn't seen anything due to face-saving concerns.
