Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Ping'an's voice fell, Zhenhuang's pressure receded somewhat, the giant halberd's phantom trembled slightly, yet still did not dissipate, locking tightly onto Xu Zhangqing.

As if the Master merely needed to gesture, it would erupt once more.

But what neither Zhenhuang nor Xu Ping'an expected was that Xu Zhangqing did not panic at all; instead, his shock gradually faded, replaced by intense curiosity.

"What is there to panic about?"

Xu Zhangqing looked at his son, his tone no longer carrying the previous anger, but with a hint of expectation: "Since it is a False Immortal Artifact, summon it and let your father take a look."

In this life of his, though he had wielded many supreme magic treasures, he had never seen a False Immortal Artifact up close; just right to take a look, perhaps in the future he could find some inspiration for forging from it.

Xu Ping'an's eyes widened round, his face full of disbelief, stunned for quite a while before recovering, his tone carrying some doubt: "Father, how do you know it is a False Immortal Artifact?

And how do you know of my situation here?"

He had obtained Zhenhuang's Bond Mastery, this matter was extremely secretive.

Even Li Yueyao and others who always stayed by his side did not know.

They only knew he had obtained a powerful magic treasure, not knowing it was a False Immortal Artifact.

Yet Father, upon seeing it for the first time, spoke its origin in one breath, truly unbelievable.

Xu Zhangqing looked at his son's shocked expression, unable to help but laugh: "You are my Xu Zhangqing's son; how could a father not care and be concerned?"

Hearing these words, Xu Ping'an's doubts were resolved; it turned out Father had always been secretly paying attention to him. He no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and called out: "Zhenhuang, appear!"

The words fell, and in an instant dazzling spiritual light erupted; after the spiritual light scattered, a pitch-black giant halberd appeared before him.

Black, not the ordinary dimness.

But black with red showing through, as if soaked in endless essence blood.

On the halberd shaft were carved densely packed ancient runes.

The runes wound and intertwined, arranged in staggered order, each rune emitting a luster.

Within the runes, the five-colored spiritual light of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth flowed, with a trace of hazy chaos aura mixed among them; the five spiritual lights and chaos aura intertwined and wound around each other, spreading along the runes to the entire halberd body.

Faintly came the sound of low thunder, the air hummed along with it, as if containing the majestic power of all things in heaven and earth.

The halberd head was shaped like a fierce tiger, tusks exposed, expression ferocious, as if it would pounce and devour at any moment, intimidating all directions.

The halberd tip was extremely sharp, emitting a cold, piercing light, the light sharp as if it could pierce the firmament and cut through all obstacles.

The halberd shaft was thick and sturdy, wrapped with ancient patterns; within the patterns was contained rich vitality, complementing the halberd's overall domineering aura, combining strength and gentleness.

The entire giant halberd seemed simple and unadorned, yet everywhere exuded a chilling aura; even just quietly floating there, it made people feel awe.

Xu Zhangqing extended his hand, his fingertip lightly touched the halberd body, his Divine Sense quietly probed in, carefully feeling the majestic power and ancient aura contained in Zhenhuang; after a moment, he slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes full of praise: "Truly worthy of being a False Immortal Artifact, indeed extraordinary.

This aura, these patterns, this contained power, are enough to crush supreme magic treasures."

In contrast, Zhenhuang at this moment seemed somewhat restless and uneasy.

The giant halberd trembled slightly, the light of the runes flickering bright and dim.

This cultivator before him, who seemed to have only Golden Core Stage aura, had an inner aura vast as the Abyss, profound and unfathomable; it simply could not distinguish the other's true realm.

Even if releasing pressure far surpassing Nascent Soul Stage, the other showed not the slightest fear; in his eyes was only the gleam of appreciating a treasure; this composure and confidence was absolutely not something an ordinary cultivator could possess.

After Xu Zhangqing finished appreciating Zhenhuang, his expression gradually became serious; he turned to look at Xu Ping'an, his tone also becoming somewhat solemn: "An'an, I know your talent is outstanding, your Air Luck extraordinary.

Being able to obtain Bond Mastery of a False Immortal Artifact is both an Opportunity and a hidden danger.

You must remember two things,

First, the Immortal Sect originally expended effort to perfect your Five Elements Spiritual Root for you, thereby achieving a Heaven-grade Golden Core, with the purpose of pushing you out to be the face of the Immortal Sect's younger generation.

Such talent naturally easily attracts the attention of various powers and invites envy."

He paused, then continued: "Second, now that you have obtained Zhenhuang's Bond Mastery, this False Immortal Artifact is too Heaven-Defying; once recognized by other powers, it will surely cause a huge commotion.

By then, not only will you yourself fall into a dangerous situation, but it will even bring trouble to the Immortal Sect and to your family.

Therefore, in the future, unless absolutely necessary, do not easily expose Zhenhuang; you must treat it with caution, absolutely do not show off!"

Xu Ping'an, upon hearing this, not only did not show any intention of retreating in his eyes, but instead added a sense of determination, and then said seriously: "Father, son understands your concerns.

But since I have chosen to become the Immortal Sect's face, there is no reason to retreat; no matter how many dangers lie ahead, I must move forward without hesitation.

As for Zhenhuang..."

He turned to look at the giant halberd floating before him, unable to help but reveal a smile: "Now, the only ones who know it is a False Immortal Artifact are us father and son.

Moreover, those few people by my side can all be trusted.

For now, as long as I do not show off too much on ordinary days and do not fully activate Zhenhuang unless at a critical moment of life and death, even if someone doubts its grade, they may not necessarily associate it with a False Immortal Artifact."

Xu Zhangqing looked at the determination in his son's eyes; he suddenly realized that the other was no longer the child who needed constant protection by his side as in the past.

An'an had grown up, had his own thoughts, had his own decisions.

The thoughts and concepts of the father and son appeared differences and conflicts at this moment.

Xu Zhangqing had experienced wind and rain; in everything he sought stability and considered things more comprehensively.

Whereas Xu Ping'an was young and full of vigor, endowed with extraordinary talent, carrying in his bones a bit of radicalism and impetuosity, daring to face everything, and more willing to follow his heart's choices.

"Sigh~"

Xu Zhangqing did not refute his son, but just lightly sighed; in his eyes were both a bit of helplessness and a bit of comfort.

Xu Ping'an watched his father's changing expression, silently clenched his fist, and secretly swore in his heart: "I absolutely will not regret my choice!"

Zhenhuang, floating to one side, seemed to sense its Master's emotions, emitting bursts of roaring sounds.

……

……

The Breaking Void Boat sped through the air, racing toward the Corroding Bone Forest Sea at extreme speed.

The boat's body was stable, isolating the sound of the wind.

Li Yueyao held the jade box Xu Changqing had gifted, and together with Jiang Weirui and Shi Feng, the three huddled together, chattering excitedly as they discussed the resources inside.

Joy filled their brows and eyes; exclamations of surprise rang out from time to time.

Su Qinghan stood alone in a corner, as if the surrounding bustle had nothing to do with her.

Yet only Su Qinghan knew in her heart that a strand of dissatisfaction impossible to suppress was sprouting at the bottom of her heart.

Just now outside the cave, Li Yueyao, relying on merely a few words and the identity of "Li Lingbi's Daughter," had easily broken the stagnant atmosphere, won Xu Changqing's favor, and was the first to receive a meeting gift, stealing all the limelight.

She asked herself: in both looks and aptitude, she was in no way inferior to Li Yueyao, and even far surpassed her.

At the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect, she had also been a much-sought-after Heaven's Pride Daughter.

But before Xu Changqing, she was far less pleasing than Li Yueyao.

Yet Su Qinghan knew clearly in her heart that the situation just now was something only Li Yueyao could have pulled off.

Li Lingbi and Xu Changqing are good friends; this connection is something she could never match no matter what, and what's more, Li Yueyao has a coquettish and lively disposition, skilled at winning people's hearts.

As for her — or rather, this body — it has had a cold disposition since childhood, and harbors hatred; she simply cannot bring herself to fawn and curry favor.

Suppressing the unwillingness in her heart, Su Qinghan raised her eyes to gaze at the horizon.

After so many years, she had never imagined Xu Changqing could grow to such heights.

When they first met, this person was merely a spirit farmer of the Dongting Immortal Sect.

Even with decent talent, he had never been held in high expectations by anyone.

Yet now, even exerting her full strength, she cannot see through Xu Changqing's cultivation.

If the old grievances were placed in the present, she would probably not even have the qualification to resist.

The only breakthrough now is Xu Ping'an.

This person is Xu Changqing's son, and moreover the future figurehead the Dongting Immortal Sect is focusing on cultivating; he possesses extraordinary talent and exceptional air luck, his future achievements limitless.

If she wants to return to the Dongting Immortal Sect, wants to take back everything she once lost, wants to contend against Xu Changqing, she must get on good terms with Xu Ping'an.

But that tag-along Li Yueyao is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle right now.

If she cannot shake off this woman, make her leave Xu Ping'an's side, then she will have to use every means at her disposal!
