Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

Li Chengfeng remained unmoved, slowly saying, "If you wish to compete with me, you must show sufficient sincerity. Mere words are futile.

Without something to stir my heart, not only will a contest be out of the question, but my subordinates will also let you know the consequences."

His gaze was like a torch, directly aimed at Murong Tai, "Your accusation that I am without talent or virtue, relying solely on schemes, is a fallacy.

I have walked the Jianghu for decades, and only then was I able to integrate the various sects of the Sea Alliance Region, achieve today's situation, and kill Leng Fengxian, the Fire Demon Clan leader. How can you shake that with just a few words?"

Murong Tai finally couldn't restrain himself, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Fine! Grand Elder, please bring out the treasure.

This is our last bargaining chip. If Li Chengfeng remains unmoved, we will use it to lure him into our trap."

He deeply knew that this treasure held an irresistible temptation for Li Chengfeng, enough to make him disregard everything and step into the trap.

As the Grand Elder Murong Hua—a late-stage Nascent Soul realm expert—waved his hand, a statue appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall.

This statue was carved from jade stone, lifelike, and upon its appearance, the hall seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious space, filled with an indescribable charm.

President Li Chengfeng mentioned that this statue was carefully carved from Profound Porcelain Jade, and the Xuan Magnetic Force it contained was exceptionally astonishing.

The Murong family's core cultivation technique, "Xuan Magnetic Divine Light," originated from this statue.

The secret manual of this technique contains detailed records of the secrets of cultivating the Xuan Magnetic Divine Light, but although Li Chengfeng possessed the Xuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, he could only unleash a portion of its power due to the lack of a corresponding cultivation technique.

The Xuan Magnetic Divine Light, which the Murong family took pride in, was said to have been inherited from an ancient statue, the statue of the Murong family's ancestor—Murong Qiuhua.

Legend has it that a hundred thousand years ago, before the arrival of the Ancient Demons, when the Ascension Passage still existed, Murong Qiuhua successfully ascended after reaching the late stage of Deity Transformation, becoming a true ascended expert.

The Murong family, as a prestigious clan with a long history, has stood in the human world for a hundred thousand years, and the depth of its foundation is self-evident.

Now, they have sent this extraordinary statue here, and a complex light flashed in Li Chengfeng's eyes, clearly realizing that the Murong family's intentions were extraordinary.

Faced with other gifts, Li Chengfeng might remain unmoved, but the arrival of this statue made him feel apprehensive.

He cultivated the Myriad Laws Returning to One, and deeply knew that the Xuan Magnetic Divine Light was an excellent choice for him, but the Murong family was powerful and difficult to deal with easily.

The Murong family's move seemed to be a deliberate provocation, directly sending the inheritance statue, demonstrating the family head's far-reaching strategy and step-by-step approach.

Looking at the change in Li Chengfeng's expression.

Murong Tai laughed loudly, "Li Chengfeng, how is this sincerity? Now, are you willing to come down and compete with me? If you are defeated.

The Sea Alliance Region will be incorporated into my Murong family, becoming our vanguard, and we will sign an irreversible contract.

Conversely, if we are defeated, this Xuan Magnetic Divine Light and the statue of Ancestor Murong will be yours. What do you say?"

Li Chengfeng gently stroked the armrest, pondered for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

Murong Tai laughed. He knew that no one could resist such a temptation.

Li Chengfeng's silence was not about weighing the pros and cons, but about carefully examining the Xuan Magnetic Divine Mountain statue to confirm whether the other party had tampered with it, or whether it was worth his effort.

In this short period of time, he already had a clear idea.

This statue was no small matter; it was truly a relic from a hundred thousand years ago.

Li Chengfeng was extremely sensitive to the power of time, and he recognized its authenticity at a glance.

The Murong family's offering of the true Profound Porcelain statue this time was undoubtedly a desperate gamble. If there was no conspiracy involved, Li Chengfeng would never believe it.

He used his divine sense to carefully investigate, and even used the Eye of Truth in his left hand, with a gleam of light from the cracked seams, instantly understanding the statue.

This was indeed the statue of the Murong family's ancestor, and it not only contained the secret method of cultivating the Xuan Magnetic Divine Light, but also hid a subtle hidden danger—all the cultivation secrets and runes together formed an altar.

Similar to the Demonic Dao's inter-realm altar, its appearance was perplexing, after all, the matter of inter-realm travel had only just begun to show signs in the past decade or so.

Sending this thing here, the Murong family must have a plan. Observing the structure of the altar, it seemed unable to transmit real people, and its effectiveness might not be as good as the Demon Clan's altar, perhaps it was designed specifically for souls, cultivation techniques, and so on.

In short, the Murong family's purpose was nothing more than those few tricks.

Murong Tai revealed a happy expression when he saw Li Chengfeng agree. His goal this time was to have a fair fight with Li Chengfeng to demonstrate the Murong family's strength.

If he won, he would be glorified; if he lost, it would also be a tempering for growth. He seized the opportunity and resolutely stepped into the center of the hall.

He said, "I request the Grand Elder to set up a barrier formation to compete with Head Leader Li Chengfeng."

Li Chengfeng smiled and said there was no need for others, and with a wave of his hand, a large formation enveloped the entire hall, saying, "Now, you can rest assured.

This formation not only prevents escape, but also absorbs the attacks of both sides."

Murong Tai was shocked by the speed at which Li Chengfeng set up the formation, but then he thought that perhaps this formation had already been set up, and he was just activating it at this moment, so he didn't pay too much attention.

He responded, "Please."

After saying that, his body was surrounded by five-colored divine light, and his face was intertwined with five colors, as if he was brewing a shocking attack.

Murong Tai's eyes became extremely deep, and his pupils seemed to show a five-colored world.

Although he was only a late-stage Golden Core knight, with the Five-Colored Divine Light, he was enough to fight against a Nascent Soul realm expert.

The main purpose of sending him here was to test Li Chengfeng's strength. Regardless of winning or losing, the Murong family would not suffer a loss: if he lost, he would give the statue to Li Chengfeng; if he won, he could be proud and make Li Chengfeng completely submit to the Murong family.

Li Chengfeng remained unmoved, walked down the steps step by step, and said after entering the battle circle, "Make your move."

Murong Tai was furious when he saw that the other party was so contemptuous of him. With a wave of his hand, martial arts radiance shot out in all directions, like five sharp swords shooting towards Li Chengfeng, while his body was also flickering with five colors.

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, and with a whoosh, a sword qi shot out, extremely fast, but disappeared without a trace after entering the divine light.

Murong Tai laughed loudly: "This is the wonderful use of the Xuan Magnetic Divine Light, which can restrain the five elements. Any power will be dimmed under my Xuan Magnetic Divine Light."

Li Chengfeng responded: "So that's how it is, then what do you think of this power?"

After saying that, he suddenly used the Star Shift technique on the five-colored flying swords, and the five flying swords instantly changed direction and went straight to Murong Tai.

Murong Tai felt extremely aggrieved that his attack had turned around and attacked himself.

Although the Xuan Magnetic Divine Light could restrain the five elements, it seemed powerless against forces outside the five elements.

What Li Chengfeng used was the power of the stars, which transcended the five elements.

Murong Tai hurriedly turned the five-colored divine light into a shield to block the attack.

However, Li Chengfeng attacked again, lightly tapping the sky, and with a crash, countless meteorites fell, which was another manifestation of the power of the stars.

These meteorites weighed a thousand pounds and smashed towards Murong Tai like raindrops.

Murong Tai couldn't believe that the other party could restrain him so much.

He deeply knew that if it were an ordinary cultivator with the five elements, he would definitely be restrained to death by him, but now he was being controlled by the other party instead.

Helpless, his figure swayed, turning into martial arts divine light and disappearing. The next moment, he had already appeared behind Li Chengfeng, suddenly punching out, with five-colored light flowing on his fist, which was the Xuan Magnetic Divine Fist.
