Obtain the Supreme Celestial Artifact Again, the Mountains and Rivers Armor

"Easy. Is one enough?"

You watched as Hua Wuyan pulled out five or six dried Unstained Flowers from under her large robe.

"Ah, this..."

"Every time the Unstained Flower blooms, I am always the first to pick it. Over so many years, I've naturally accumulated quite a few."

Saying that, Hua Wuyan poured the medicinal juice into a corner of the cave.

She said that this medicinal juice was actually used to catalyze the Unstained Flower to sprout again.

This big shot was planning to do wholesale.

You shamelessly took two.

Now, out of the five treasures needed to refine the Five-Region Holy Pill, you had already obtained two: the Water of Forgetting Dust and the Unstained Flower.

It was not easy to meet Hua Wuyan once.

Therefore, afterward, you shared the intelligence you currently possessed with Hua Wuyan, expressing your guiding ideology of establishing defensive forces in the Human Realm in advance and uniting all parties in the Human Realm to jointly fend off the enemy.

"Because this matter sounds unbelievable and involves foreseeing the future, I currently only exchange information with the Sword Master of the Limitless Sword Sect. For the next step, I want to gain the support of the Shen Family's Patriarch and God Xiaoyao after meeting them. I am confident in this."

You were mainly confident in your Chinese-style Succubus trait.

Before this simulation began, you were still thinking of tossing this errand to the Human Race's Dao Protector.

But now, you felt that if you did it yourself, the degree of completion might be higher.

Hua Wuyan did not press you on why you knew about future events.

The Dao of Shamanism she cultivated could already divine and foresee the future, so to her, it wasn't anything rare.

"This path is not easy to walk... I have little lifespan left, and in the days to come, I must focus my main energy on cultivating an heir. Establishing the Human Realm's defense line will probably have to be mostly entrusted to your hands. But rest assured, child, I will help you."

Hua Wuyan asked you to stretch out your hand, and with her sharp nail, she drew a blood talisman on your palm.

Afterward, you saw the surface of her body turn somewhat ethereal as a portion of her soul body merged into this blood talisman.

"At any moment, by forming a hand seal, you can communicate with my mind."

"Senior, does this seal cause harm to you?"

"It doesn't matter."

Previously, you had the Xiaoyao Token, which allowed you to call for backup from the Xiaoyao Sacred Land.

Now, you had Hua Wuyan's soul blood seal, which allowed you to directly call upon the Human Race's Dao Protector!

You, the King of Connections, hadn't even exerted yourself yet, and your connections were already nearly invincible!

This wasn't the end.

Hua Wuyan's large robe fluttered without any wind, and pieces of armor flew out from beneath it, assembling in mid-air into a majestic suit of armor radiating five-colored light.

On the armor were patterns resembling great mountains and rivers, as if the continent of the Human Realm had been branded onto it, accompanied by the majestic, echoing sounds of chime bells.

"This is the Great Dao Immortal Artifact, the Mountain and River Armor. With its current power, when worn on the body, no one below the Martial God realm can harm you."

A Great Dao Immortal Artifact!

You were truly shocked!

The aura of a supreme treasure you had been sensing from Hua Wuyan all this time was actually a Great Dao Immortal Artifact!

And she was just giving it to you like this?

You were truly overwhelmed by this unexpected favor.

"Senior, we have only just met today, yet you place such trust in me. This junior is truly ashamed..."

You knew that the Chinese-style Succubus trait might be taking effect here, but perhaps it was also due to your personal charm.

Hua Wuyan smiled.

"I am the one who should be ashamed. Everything you are doing now is what a Dao Protector should be doing. Had my divination not revealed that my heir must be a woman, I would be more than willing to take you as my disciple today and pass the position of Dao Protector to you in the future."

You thought to yourself, old senior, it wouldn't be impossible for you to take two disciples.

Hua Wuyan seemed to see through your thoughts.

"I can see that you are destined for an even greater karmic status, one higher than the Human Race's Dao Protector. Perhaps it is better that you do not become my disciple."

An identity even higher than a Dao Protector?

Hua Wuyan looked up and spoke to the Mountain and River Armor.

"Mountain and River Armor, from today onward, you no longer need to stay by my side. Go protect Chen Yi."

The Mountain and River Armor did not speak. It silently flew to your side and directly merged into your body, transforming into faint lines that flickered upon your skin.

You sensed it with your divine consciousness.

"No artifact spirit?"

Hua Wuyan nodded.

"Yes, there is only a nascent form that can generally understand your instructions."

The Myriad Soul Banner off to the side laughed.

"Haha! A dignified Great Dao Immortal Artifact doesn't even have a proper artifact spirit? That cracks me up!"

You gave the impolite Myriad Soul Banner a good beating.

You were curious about where the Mountain and River Armor's artifact spirit went.

Hua Wuyan indicated that she didn't know either.

She said that about a hundred years ago, she accidentally sensed a change in the destiny of the Human Realm.

After some divination, she determined the location of the anomaly and hurried over to investigate.

Then, she found the Mountain and River Armor, which had lost its artifact spirit.

Over the past century, Hua Wuyan used shamanic secret arts to re-nurture the artifact spirit of the Mountain and River Armor, finally forming a nascent shape.

"Someone wanted to destroy the Mountain and River Armor, but the Mountain and River Armor is the sturdiest object in the Human Realm. Unable to destroy the artifact itself, the other party scattered its spirit."

"A hundred years ago..."

Had the Dragonman Race arrived a hundred years ago?

Probably not.

The demonic seed Feng Yucheng, who served as the anchor, was less than twenty years older than you.

The Great Dao Immortal Artifacts were encountering mishaps one after another.

The reincarnated artifact spirit of the Nine Provinces Cauldron was being hunted down, the Universe Mirror only had half left, the artifact spirit of the Mountain and River Armor was lost, and the Heaven and Earth Sword couldn't distinguish friend from foe...

At first, you thought this was the doing of the Dragonman Race to destroy the stability of the Human Realm.

But looking at it now, it might have nothing to do with the Dragonman Race.

The one harming the Great Dao Immortal Artifacts of the Human Realm was probably someone else.

In some unseen place, there was still a mastermind operating in secret.

"Senior, do you know of the Blood Moon organization? I suspect they are involved in the destruction of the Great Dao Immortal Artifacts!"

"You mean that assassin organization?"

"Exactly! Do you know much about them? For example, do you know the true identity of their mastermind? Where their main headquarters is hidden? How their subordinates communicate?"

Hua Wuyan gave a self-deprecating smile.

"If I knew, given what they have done, how could they have remained at large until now?"

The Dao Protector was neutral.

Hua Wuyan wouldn't wipe out a faction just because they were bad people, such as demonic cultivators or assassins.

What is good, what is evil, and where the boundary between good and evil lies—that is for the Human Race to decide themselves. The Dao Protector makes no judgments.

However, if someone attempted to destroy the Great Dao Immortal Artifacts and affect the stability of the entire world, the Dao Protector would naturally step in to resolve it.

You looked at the Blood Moon with a higher level of regard once again.

To think that even the Human Race's Dao Protector didn't know their true colors!

Having discussed everything that needed to be discussed with Hua Wuyan, the time for parting had arrived.

You still had many things to do, while Li Lingyue had to stay by Hua Wuyan's side to begin her path as an Empress.

Li Lingyue held your hand.

"Are you leaving?"
