"It's done!"

Jiang Yuan felt a sense of relief wash over him. With the Heaven-Mending Soul and the Demon God Body merging, if he was merely a walking corpse before, he was now barely a human being. Moreover, due to the further improvement in the degree of fusion, his appearance had also changed slightly, now approaching forty percent of his previous appearance. Originally, he thought that after his appearance merged with the Demon Lord's, he would become more and more like himself, but only now did he realize that he was now a completely different person. With the strengths of both elements complementing each other, his appearance was becoming increasingly similar to his former self.

However, the fusion brought both benefits and drawbacks. His demonic body and soul strength both decreased, reaching the same level as divine power, the threshold of the first stage of the Void Spirit Realm.

Give me your hand, and I'll take you up!

Bu Yao hadn't left Jiang Yuan's side for a moment. After seeing that Jiang Yuan hadn't moved for almost five minutes, she reached out her hand to him.

Her purpose was clear: she wanted to bring Jiang Yuan along, but the difficulty of bringing them together was far more than one plus one equals two.

Jiang Yuan smiled confidently, a rare occurrence for him, and joked, "Do I look weak?"

"Not only does it look unrealistic, but it also feels unrealistic to actually do it!" Bu Yao teased with a flirtatious smile.

"How about we have a competition and see who goes first?" Jiang Yuan was really interested in seeing Bu Yao's potential. After all, she had been a housewife for five years, and it was hard to say whether her potential had declined.

I like being passive!

Bu Yao glanced up, indicating that Jiang Yuan should go first, and she would follow later.

"You think I'm going to back out and not climb up? Yeah, right!" Jiang Yuan gave Bu Yao a thumbs up and said, "I'll be waiting for you up there!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan kicked out and climbed with great momentum, overtaking Bu Yao by half a body length in just half a second.

"Very well, we're no longer husband and wife!"

Bu Yao's words startled Jiang Yuan, but she continued meticulously, "They are the opponents!"

"Oh!"

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the two were indeed tied because of this small mistake. However, the moment they were tied, they both spurred each other on, showing no intention of giving in.

"Interesting. Although this couple doesn't seem to have much in common, they are extremely similar to the legendary Sword Master Blue and Sword Master Hidden. They have the same talent and the same temperament. It seems that the emergence of two divine swords is likely!"

The sight of the two competing against each other evoked a wave of emotions in the eyes of the Lord of Longhuang Mountain. The two divine swords were not only of great significance to the Blue Hidden Divine Mountain, but also played an indispensable role in the entire Holy Demon Clan.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The two figures broke through the air and entered the twelfth floor almost simultaneously.

"I won!" Bu Yao looked at Jiang Yuan triumphantly.

"Is this for real? Didn't we go into the twelfth floor together?" Jiang Yuan retorted.

"I'm a woman!"

After saying those three words, Bu Yao looked leisurely at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was speechless and could only continue to give a thumbs up and say, "Okay, you win!"

"It seems you'll never have the power to control the family finances again!" A hint of mischief appeared in Bu Yao's eyes.

"What is that?" Jiang Yuan was completely confused.

“Since there’s going to be a competition, there must be a reward! Here, the power to manage the finances is the reward for this competition!” Bu Yao said with a smile.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"Don't worry, I'll still give you pocket money!" Bu Yao patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder triumphantly.

"It seems these twelfth floors won't be difficult for either of you!"

The Lord of Longhuang Mountain walked over from a short distance away, looking at the two of them with a smile.

Upon seeing outsiders, Bu Yao immediately suppressed the little bit of capriciousness she only displayed when she was with Jiang Yuan, and said dignifiedly, "Greetings, Senior. Where are the two divine swords you mentioned?"

"Wait a minute! It's rare for someone to break through the barrier of the twelfth level. I need to send a few more couples!" the Lord of Longhuang Mountain said unexpectedly.

"Call for reinforcements?" Jiang Yuan's expression changed. This Lord Longhuang's choice of words was quite trendy, not at all like the tone of someone who had already fallen.

"Don't worry, they're here!"

As soon as the Lord of Longhuang Mountain finished speaking, several beams of light flashed, and then a team consisting entirely of men and women appeared.

"Damn it!" Jiang Yuan cursed inwardly when he saw the couples.

"Don't be nervous, they don't know you!" Bu Yao seemed to hear Jiang Yuan's thoughts.

"Greetings, Lord Longhuang Mountain!"

The people who came bowed to the Lord of Longhuang Mountain one by one. As for why Jiang Yuan was surprised, it was because he knew three of the three couples who came.

There's no need to elaborate on Cao Xuan and Duan Lang; they are the current Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Blue Hidden Divine Mountain, and it's perfectly reasonable for them to draw their swords as Daoist partners. But the other person surprised him—it was Wan Jin, with whom he had fought life and death.

"Bu Yao, what are you doing here?"

When Cao Xuan and Duan Lang saw Jiang Yuan and Bu Yao, their expressions were as if they had swallowed flies. They had thought that someone had gotten lucky and managed to reach the twelfth level of the inheritance point today, which was why they had received the order to rush back from the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land. They never expected that it was Bu Yao and the others who opened it.

"Bu Yao, long time no see!" Wan Jin stood in front of Bu Yao with a girl who looked to be in her early twenties.

"I didn't expect you to come too!" Bu Yao was obviously friends with Wan Jin, otherwise the two of them wouldn't have gone to Nancheng together to snatch the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Saint Lord. To exaggerate a bit, if Jiang Yuan hadn't intervened, perhaps Bu Yao and Wan Jin would have followed the family marriage and gotten together.

"Bu Yao, you still have this good-for-nothing with you!" Wan Jin had a lot of opinions about Jiang Yuan in his Demon Lord form, clearly having seen Jiang Yuan more than once in the past five years.

"Watch your mouth, or we won't be friends anymore!" Bu Yao rolled her eyes and scolded.

Wan Jin then suppressed his anger and reached out to Jiang Yuan: "You're as weak as a woman. I don't know how Bu Yao could like someone like you!"
