"Everyone has secrets, and you're no exception."

"The feeling you give me is even more mysterious than our master."

"As for me..."

"As your senior brother and the future Emperor, having two emperor weapons by my side is quite normal, right?"

Xiao Ming's lips curled into a slight smile as he continued with a carefree tone, looking at Feng Xianhuang's scrutinizing gaze.

"If you insist on knowing everything, wait until you become my woman, and then I'll tell you everything..."

As the last words fell, Feng Xianhuang's face turned red, and even the true phoenix fire flared up.

She never expected this.

Xiao Ming actually dared to speak so bluntly, wanting to make her, his junior sister, his woman? How audacious!

"Xiao Ming, don't think that just because you're my senior brother and you helped resolve the crisis earlier, you can tease me like this."

"I'm not your silly childhood sweetheart who would easily fall for you!"

In a fit of anger, Feng Xianhuang warned through gritted teeth, not realizing the ambiguity in her words.

Su Qingyue looked over, a bit confused, with a defiant expression on her face.

How was she silly?!

She was quite clever!

As long as Xiao Ming liked something, she would help him get it.

This way, Xiao Ming wouldn't be lured away by others, and he would not only grow more fond of her, his childhood sweetheart, but also feel a bit guilty.

Feng Xianhuang clearly didn't understand love.

"Haha, I never said I'd make you into my shape. If you have the ability, you can turn me into yours."

Xiao Ming laughed heartily at her words, responding shamelessly.

"Shameless, scoundrel!"

Feng Xianhuang gritted her teeth in anger, and after a cold snort, she couldn't be bothered to deal with Xiao Ming, sitting cross-legged to calm her mind.

But inside, she was in turmoil.

This shameless senior brother not only had a heaven-defying inheritance but might have also seen through her origins?!

Otherwise, why would he say such a thing?

Could it be that this guy...

Has he really obtained the inheritance of the ancient Human Emperor?!

She remembered that in the Xuanyuan clan, there was once an ancient Human Emperor who crafted a Forbidden Soul Banner to deal with the Soul Clan.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

Its quality reached the level of an extreme emperor weapon.

Once unfurled, it could refine the souls of all beings, turning them into demons imprisoned within the banner.

It caused a terrifying catastrophe in ancient times, and even the Soul Clan didn't dare to confront this Human Emperor head-on.

But later on, this Human Emperor became too powerful, offending many alien experts.

In the end, he was plotted against by the Soul Clan, falling into the abyssal forbidden zone, and vanished without a trace.

And Xiao Ming's soul banner might just be that artifact?!

"Forget it, the urgent task is to find the seven-color fiendish energy and forge a perfect Cave Heaven."

"There are still about ten days until the first comparison; I can't lose to this shameless guy!"

Shaking her head, Feng Xianhuang stopped overthinking and began to calm her mind.

After discussing with Yun Ling, Su Qingyue decided to hold onto Xiao Ming, while Yun Ling held onto Su Qingyue.

This way, they indirectly gained a sense of security from Xiao Ming.

Such childish behavior left Xiao Ming feeling helpless.

But he didn't object.

He allowed Su Qingyue to hold his arm, burying it in her bosom.

After all, such a silly childhood sweetheart was rare; how could he not pamper her a little?

The night passed without incident.

The next day, as the first rays of sunlight touched the earth, countless demons and monsters hid in the shadows.

After adjusting their states, Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang led the group out of the wooden hut and headed deeper into the Ghost Head Forest.

"Is that... mist?!"

Not long after leaving the hut, Xiao Ming saw a gray mist appearing behind them, slowly engulfing their direction.

Soon, the small wooden hut they had stayed in would be swallowed by this mist.

"Looks like we'll have to find a new shelter tonight..."

Glancing behind him, Xiao Ming didn't feel much regret and charged into the Ghost Head Forest.

As Xiao Ming and the others entered, the demons and monsters hidden in the forest shadows, like sharks smelling blood, rushed towards them one after another.

These demons and monsters varied in strength, but most were above the first level of the Cave Heaven stage, with some reaching the sixth or seventh level.

Moreover, as they ventured deeper into the Ghost Head Forest, these creatures grew stronger.

However, against the combined might of Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang, these demons and monsters were no match.

They were slaughtered one by one, two by two.

Su Qingyue and Yun Ling were only responsible for finishing off the weaker ones or assisting in the battle.

Wherever the four passed, demons and monsters fell in droves.

In the end, Xiao Ming was so caught up in the killing that he unleashed the Human Emperor Banner and Human Emperor Sword, slaughtering like a war god.

The blood and flesh of demons fed the Human Emperor Sword, while the souls of ghosts were sacrificed to the Human Emperor Banner!

These two emperor weapons grew increasingly terrifying along the way, with demonic energy billowing like smoke.

It seemed so righteous it was almost evil, making Feng Xianhuang and the others' hearts race with fear.

They worried that Xiao Ming might suddenly decide to sacrifice them to enhance the emperor weapons.

"Don't worry, I'm very clear-headed, no need to panic."

Seeing Feng Xianhuang and Yun Ling looking at him warily, Xiao Ming, holding the Human Emperor Sword and with the Human Emperor Banner above his head, forced a smile like a demon emperor.

Feng Xianhuang and Yun Ling's lips twitched.

Throughout the journey, the number of demons and monsters that died at Xiao Ming's hands was at least eight hundred, if not a thousand.

And he only grew more excited with each kill, making them truly fear he might go mad.

"Up ahead is the heart of the Ghost Head Forest. Be prepared for a fierce battle!"

Checking the map and looking ahead, Feng Xianhuang spoke with a heavy tone.

The Ghost Fiend Secret Realm housed elite monsters with special runes, generally above the ninth level of the Cave Heaven stage, and they were empowered by the secret realm's force.

Thus, their combat power was far more terrifying than ordinary ninth-level Cave Heaven beings.

Some could even reach the Dharma Aspect stage.

So even she and Xiao Ming would find it challenging if they encountered one.

After all, their soul power and vitality had only reached the Cave Heaven stage, while their cultivation remained at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea stage, making it difficult to leap so many levels.

"You two just focus on protecting yourselves; leave the fighting to us."

Xiao Ming instructed Su Qingyue and Yun Ling, then he and Feng Xianhuang charged ahead, unleashing a massacre.

As they stormed deeper into the Ghost Head Forest, a peculiar pool appeared before them.

The pool was about thirty meters wide, with terrifying fiendish energy swirling above it.

Below, it shimmered with five colors, looking quite splendid.

"It's the five-color fiendish energy!!"

Seeing the five-colored glow emanating from the condensed fiendish energy, Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang's eyes lit up.

Five-color fiendish energy.

Though neither he nor Feng Xianhuang was particularly interested in it, it was perfect for Yun Ling to forge her Cave Heaven.

If she managed to create a sacred Cave Heaven, restoring her cultivation to the Cave Heaven stage, they would gain a formidable ally.

As for Su Qingyue, if possible, Xiao Ming hoped she could use the seven-color fiendish energy to establish her foundation, just like him.

Roar!!

As Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang approached, a massive figure leaped out from the source of the fiendish energy with a roar.

Its terrifying aura, like a tsunami, made Xiao Ming and the others' faces darken.

Because this massive creature's aura was nearly at the Dharma Aspect stage, and its body glowed red as if in a berserk state.

This was a Crimson Gargoyle!

Not only a terrifying half-step Dharma Aspect stage being, but its crimson power could stack attacks, doubling its attack and speed!

In this state, this gargoyle possessed the strength of a first-level Dharma Aspect stage!

"Though it might be a bit tricky, if it's just this one, we can take it down together."

Surveying the Crimson Gargoyle, Xiao Ming spoke in a low voice to Feng Xianhuang.

But just as he finished speaking, another roar echoed, and another figure leaped out from the source of the fiendish energy.

Unlike the previous gargoyle, this one was glowing blue!
