At dawn, Xiaoyao Peak resembles a traditional Chinese ink painting, ethereal and beautiful, almost dreamlike.

Near the peak, a waterfall, twenty or thirty feet wide, cascades down the jade-like mountain wall, its spray like pearls and jade, like snow and mist. A cool, refreshing breeze blows from nowhere, cleansing the soul.

The waterfall plunges into a large pool in front of the mountain wall, surrounded by clusters of crystalline, almost transparent, light blue stones.

Even more remarkable is a gigantic, strange tree growing on the jade-green cliff to the right of the waterfall. Its branches are lush and its leaves are dark and shadowy. Over a hundred feet long, it winds around the waterfall like a belt, its canopy, spanning several acres, suspended in mid-air before the waterfall, a truly spectacular sight.

At this moment, on the grass about a hundred paces from the pool, dozens of stones of different sizes and colors are arranged in a staggered pattern, seemingly according to the positions of the hexagrams, subtly forming a magical array.

A girl dressed in a yellow shirt with her hair in two buns knelt before a large rock in the center of the formation. She was using a wooden spoon to scoop powder from a jar beside her and carefully sprinkling it onto the stone surface in a pattern.

"Xiao Xuan, what is this powder?"

She looked up, revealing a pair of bright, watery eyes on her oval face, and a sweet, curved red mouth below her delicate nose.

Sweating profusely, Cui Xiaoxuan carried a blood-red stone over, feigning mystery, and said, "This is my latest condiment. In a moment, it will transform into the life-giving blood of the Invincible General."

The girl frowned and asked, "What is it made of? The smell is really pungent."

Xiaoxuan rattled off the ingredients like a treasure trove: "Thirty-six magnetic crystal essences, thirty-six pieces of thunder-patterned stone, thirty-six sticks of ambrosia incense, five zhang of withered ghost vine, four liang of fire lotus seeds, sixty-six Gu snail shells, nine qian of jade essence, three buckets of green cypress essence... In short, a great many, almost all the rare ingredients I've accumulated over the years are in here."

The girl picked up the jar and walked to another large stone to continue sprinkling powder, clicking her tongue and saying, "This time you've invested all your capital. What if it fails again?"

Xiaoxuan spat out, "Pah! Pah! You jinx! Say something nice to me!"

He tossed the stone aside, his eyes scanning the surrounding stones, carefully adjusting the bloodstone to its correct position.

The girl smiled and said, "I was worried about you."

Xiao Xuan said, "Don't worry, I've done hundreds of simulations in the past six months, this time it will definitely be foolproof."

The girl glanced at him, her smile extremely sweet: "You always say that, but that Divine Flame Beast you created last time... it's called Divine Flame Beast, right? Why was it chasing you all over the mountain trying to eat you?"

It turned out that this beautiful girl was Xiao Xuan's fourth senior sister, Xia Xiaowan. She was originally the daughter of a hunter from the foot of Qiancui Mountain. Because her parents died early, and she was born with a special talent in the Five Elements, with a natural strength in earth, she was taken in by Cui Caiting from a young age.

Xiao Xuan's face flushed, and he said sheepishly, "That time was definitely an accident. I've figured out the reason, but I was a little careless when preparing the ingredients and forgot to add some fire lotus stems."

Xiao Wan said, "When have you ever been careless... By the way, did you find the Fire Demon's hair?"

Xiao Xuan nodded proudly and said, "This time I will never take risks. As long as any ingredient is missing, I won't force it."

Suddenly, they heard someone laugh, "You've already invested everything, and you still dare to act recklessly?"

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Wan turned around and saw two beautiful women in light-colored clothes walking side by side. They quickly called out, "Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister."

The newcomers were none other than Xue Han, the eldest disciple of Cui Caiting, and Li Mengtang, the second disciple, Qing Ni. The two had already left the mountain and served under the Demon-Slaying Commander of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, subduing countless demons and monsters, and were famous throughout the land, known as the Twin Envoys of Xia Ni.

The two rushed forward, and Xiao Xuan exclaimed happily, "You really made it back in time!"

Xue Han was in her early twenties, tall and slender with narrow shoulders and a thin waist. She looked somewhat frail, but her eyes held a hidden majesty that made people hesitant to look directly at her. She smiled and said, "We dared not delay at all for your new Immortal Arts Grand Ceremony. How are the preparations going?"

Xiao Xuan's excitement was evident: "Almost done."

Xue Han continued, "Xiao Xuan, you're quite something! The things you summon are getting more and more powerful each time. What are you going to create this time?"

Xiao Xuan replied, "Senior Sister, how could you forget again? It's not summoning, it's inventing! Today I'm going to create a..." A new spirit, unlike any other before, has emerged, imbued with the characteristics of fire and earth elements. Thus, it possesses the speed and destructive power of fire, combined with the strength and defense of earth. Its name is… hehe, Invincible General.”

Xue Han laughed, “Right, right, it should be called Invention. It’s been too long since I’ve been back; I’ve forgotten that our Little Xuan has never liked following the rules.”

Li Mengtang, standing beside her, smiled slightly and suddenly asked, “Little Xuan, how confident are you this time?”

She was two years younger than Xue Han, a renowned beauty among the scattered immortals, with cheeks like fresh peaches, skin as smooth as goose fat, and long, flowing hair reaching past her waist, resembling a celestial maiden.

Xiao Xuan confidently said, "I wouldn't dare say 100%, but I'm almost certainly 99% sure."

His gaze unconsciously lingered on her, his heart pounding as he secretly thought, "It's strange, Second Senior Sister always seems a few steps more beautiful than before."

Meng Tang said, "You know quite a few fire-based techniques, but earth-based techniques aren't your forte. Besides, fire and earth are neither mutually reinforcing nor mutually destructive, making them extremely difficult to combine. Don't be careless."

Xiao Xuan smiled, "My junior sister is helping me with earth-based techniques, resolving many difficulties and even writing thirty-six Rock-Controlling Talismans for me; as for fire-based techniques, with the Golden-Eyed Fire Lion Heart you gave me when you returned to the mountain last time, there's absolutely no problem."

Meng Tang smiled and said, "That's good. Just don't let it be like last time... " "That beast chased us all over the mountain."

Xiao Xuan took the opportunity to snuggle up to her, embarrassed, and said, "Second Senior Sister, you always make fun of me like this!"

Meng Tang gently hugged him, her face full of tenderness, and said, "It seems you've grown taller since I last saw you."

Xue Han said, "Alright, you should go and get ready. We still need to go to Master's place to see an elder from the sect later."

Xiao Xuan asked curiously, "An elder from the sect? Who is it? You only come back to the mountain once in a long time, how come you're more informed than me?"

Xue Han said, "I'll tell you later. Prepare carefully, and don't make any mistakes, or you'll cry and beg us to give you things."

The two women found a big tree to sit under, and Xiao Xuan and Xiao Wan continued to set up the stone formation.

Xiao Xuan finished setting up the stone array and began sealing each stone with a rock-protecting talisman, then attaching a strand of fire spirit hair to each talisman. Seeing Xiao Wan finish sprinkling powder on the last stone, he called to her, "Hey, go get that red clay jar sealed with the flame-gathering talisman and put it on the stone in the off-position."

Xiao Wan complained, "You're getting more and more rude! You don't even call me 'Senior Sister' anymore. I was trying to help you today, and what do you take me for?"

Xiao Xuan quickly smiled ingratiatingly and whispered, "Doesn't this just show how close we are? You see, I kept calling you 'Senior Sister' and 'Second Senior Sister,' but it was really too formal."

Xiao Wan spat, "Lies! Be careful, or I'll tell them."

She walked to the edge of the stone array, found the red clay jar sealed with the flame-gathering talisman among the several jars, held it in her arms, and headed towards the off-position in the array. Suddenly, her brows furrowed, and she exclaimed, "Ugh...it smells so fishy! What's in this jar?"

"Hold on tight, it contains the heart of the Golden-Eyed Fiery Lion,"

Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Wan nearly dropped it, startling Xiao Xuan, who rushed over, snatched the jar, and clutched it tightly to his chest, exclaiming, "My dear aunt, this treasure is the heart of the invincible general! Do you know how long I begged my second senior sister before she agreed to help me find it? If you drop it, we're out of luck today!"

Xiao Wan, stiffening her body, waved her hands repeatedly, saying nauseously, "Take it away, I'm going to throw up."

Half an incense stick later, the preparations were finally complete. Xiao Xuan gazed into the distance, anxiously asking, "Why isn't that little rascal here yet?"

Xiao Wan squatted in the grass, watching the busy ants with interest, saying, "Be patient, it's no wonder our third senior sister is keeping us waiting."

Xiao Xuan paced back and forth by the stone array, annoyed... "I can't stand that woman," he grumbled. "She's always so arrogant because her family has high-ranking officials! Humph, she hasn't even left the mountain yet, but she's already acting like she owns the senior sisters."

Li Mengtang smiled and said, "Xiao Xuan, could you show me the ingredients and recipe this time?"

Xiao Xuan pulled out a crumpled sheet from his pocket, a little embarrassed, and said, "It's been revised several times, so it's very messy."

Mengtang took it and looked at it. Seeing the messy scribbles, it was practically incomprehensible. She frowned and shook her head, saying, "How can you be so careless with something like this! Be careful you don't misread it."

Xiao Xuan chuckled sheepishly, "I'll definitely correct it next time."

Mengtang looked at it for a while, her expression gradually becoming somewhat surprised. "Come on," said Mengtang. "Xiao Xuan, which classic texts did you consult for this prescription? Did you ask your master for advice?"

Xiao Xuan replied, "I came up with almost everything myself. I haven't asked my master to look at it yet... Hehe, you all know, my master doesn't like me doing these things."

Xuehan asked, "What's wrong?" Mengtang

said, "Xiao Xuan's prescription is very strange. I've rarely seen anyone prepare it like this."

Xuehan knew that she had read extensively in her sect's classic texts and was now compiling the "Zhou Tian Zhu Ling Bang" for the Demon Slayer General, so her knowledge was extremely broad. If it was rare, it was practically nonexistent. She asked again, "Is there anything wrong with it?"

Mengtang said, "I don't see anything wrong with it. If it doesn't work, it seems to make some sense."

Xiaowan smiled and said, "..." "Wasn't the recipe for that Divine Flame Beast strange too? Yet Xiao Xuan actually managed to conjure it out of thin air, and almost succeeded."

Xue Han smiled and said, "That's true. I always felt that Xiao Xuan would definitely be more successful than us in the future."

Xiao Xuan was a little smug when he suddenly heard Xiao Wan call out, "Third Senior Sister is here... Third Senior Sister!"

Turning around, he saw Cheng Shui Ruo walking gracefully towards him and couldn't help but shout, "Didn't we agree on a time yesterday? Why are you only coming now?"

Shui Ruo ignored him and said indifferently, "Can't I sleep in? Humph, I don't know who dragged me to feed the mosquitoes all night yesterday. I should be thanking my lucky stars that I can get up now."

Xiao Xuan was speechless.

Because the sect had an order: anyone who hadn't left the mountain was strictly forbidden from leaving Xiaoyao Peak. Last night, he had sneaked off to Mizong Ridge for the Fire Demon Hair, which was enough to make him face the wall for three months.

Xiao Wan asked curiously, "Third Senior Sister, did someone drag you to feed the mosquitoes last night? Who was it? And why did you have to feed the mosquitoes?"

Xiao Xuan quickly surrounded her, whispering, "That little rascal is crazy, you actually believe her?"

Shui Ruo walked past him, went straight to her two senior sisters to pay her respects, and threw herself into Li Mengtang's arms, saying coquettishly, "Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, how long will you stay this time? I've missed you so much!"

Mengtang gently stroked her hair and smiled, "We have to go down the mountain tomorrow, but this time we might be together for a long time."

Shui Ruo was stunned, "What do you mean? Second Senior Sister, please explain."

Mengtang laughed, "We'll talk about it later, let's see Xiao Xuan's new invention first."

Shui Ruo said, "What's so interesting about it? It'll probably just be another farce."

Xiao Xuan angrily... "Cheng Shueruo, don't always look down on people! When you see my invincible general later, don't be jealous!"

Shueruo laughed wildly and said in a strange voice, "If you, you pig-head, can succeed, the sun will rise in the west!"

Li Mengtang pinched her cheek and laughed, "You two are really like oil and water. There are only a few of you on the mountain, and you're always bickering."

Xuehan said, "It's getting late, Xiaoxuan, you can start."

Xiaoxuan responded with a "yes," turned around and walked to the stone formation. He concentrated for a moment, slowly raised his arms, made hand seals, and chanted incantations. Suddenly, he shouted, "Lie!"

The stone formation, which had been still, suddenly changed. Stones of different sizes left the ground and floated in the air.

Xuehan nodded and said, "Not bad, you've improved."

Shui Ruo, however, disagreed: "Senior Sister, he's relying on the dozens of rock-controlling talismans that Fourth Sister wrote for him."

Li Mengtang said, "Xiao Xuan doesn't understand earth manipulation at all, yet he can move dozens of stones simultaneously with just talismans. This shows his spiritual power has increased considerably."

Xiao Xuan kept pulling and tugging, and the dozens of suspended stones gradually accelerated their drift, beginning to rotate around the red clay altar containing the Golden-Eyed Fire Lion's heart on the displaced stone in the formation, faintly producing the sounds of wind and thunder.

Xuehan praised again, "The speed is so even, the distance between the stones remains almost constant. It's rare, Xiao Xuan seems to have a real talent for manipulating objects."

Mengtang said, "I think so too. I mentioned it to Master before."

"Oh, what did Master say?"

Xuehan asked. Mengtang

said, "I don't know why, Master just shook his head at the time and didn't say anything. I've been wondering about it ever since."

Xuehan seemed thoughtful.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's arms swung faster and faster, his mouth still chanting incessantly. Sweat was already glistening on his forehead and face, clearly indicating that he had expended a great deal of energy.

Xia Xiaowan cupped her hands in front of her mouth and shouted, "Go, Junior Brother! Go, Xiao Xuan!"

Shui Ruo was also captivated by the strange sight before her, and the disdain on her face faded considerably.

Xiao Xuan suddenly shouted again, "Formation!"

Instantly, the stones flew towards the red clay jar containing the Golden-Eyed Fire Lion's heart like thunderbolts. Amidst the deafening roar, they instantly coalesced into a large clump, still struggling and pushing against each other, writhing as if alive.

Xia Xiaowan suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, look quickly, doesn't that look like a... a human face?"

In fact, all the women had already seen it. Part of the pile of stones had floated up, and several stones, some concave and some convex, gradually formed a face resembling a human face. Then, the surrounding area became clearer, and it rose up like a human head.

Shui Ruo said, "Xiao Wan, are you trying to kill me? Did you secretly teach him the art of summoning earth spirits?"

Xia Xiaowan shook her head vigorously, "No, besides, this doesn't look like summoning earth spirits at all."

Just then, the pile of stones began to wriggle and rearrange, and two human-arm-like things slowly emerged from the middle, each with a huge stone at its front, like clenched fists.

Xue Han stared intently and said, "This is very similar to the method used to create the Divine Flame Beast last time, only on a much larger scale. I wonder if... it's still the right way?"

Meng Tang picked up the list in her hand again and pondered, "Hmm, I also feel that something is a bit off. I'll have to ask Master later."

With two giant arms pushing against the ground, the pile of stones gradually lengthened, and suddenly stood up, swaying like a human. Only then did the women notice that a pair of unusually thick stone legs had appeared at its base.

The previously chaotic pile of stones had now completely transformed into a giant stone figure over four zhang tall, its body constantly flashing with eerie silver-purple runes.

Xiao Xuan, his face full of excitement, finished reciting a long incantation and shouted again, "Soldier!"

The stone figure also let out a long roar, and suddenly a dark red glow appeared on its chest, which then grew brighter and brighter, as if molten lava was churning and boiling inside. Suddenly, raging flames burst forth from every crevice in its chest, spreading throughout its entire body in an instant. The flames almost reddened the entire mountaintop, a sight that was terrifying.

The women were all dumbfounded; they could never have imagined that Xiao Xuan would create such a horrifying monster.

Xiao Xuan was ecstatic, waving his arms and shouting, "My invincible general has finally been born! The most powerful, unprecedented new life in the world has been born!"

Shui Ruo, however, coldly remarked from behind, "The most powerful? I could make it disappear instantly with a single finger."

The Firestone Giant seemed bewildered by its sudden appearance, its massive head looking left and right, its body constantly emitting muffled, unsettling crackling sounds.

Li Mengtang suddenly called Xiao Xuan to her side, pointing solemnly to the formula in her hand and asking, "What does this say?"

Xiao Xuan spent a long time trying to decipher it before sheepishly replying, "It's the Crimson Python's Letter, hehe, it's a bit messy."

"Ah! The Crimson Python's Letter clashes with the Yan Essence! The *Xuanyi Zhi* says that although both belong to the extreme of the fire element, their natures are mutually destructive, and they should never be combined,"

Mengtang exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Xuan scoffed, "Really? But I succeeded, didn't I? Look how amazing it is! Come on, let me show you some of its best moves."

Xiao Wan's voice trembled slightly, "Look at its face, it's...it's terrifying..."

Before they knew it, the Invincible General's face had turned towards them, its blank expression blurring and distorting in the flames, appearing extremely ferocious and terrifying.

Everyone felt a tangible fluctuation emanating from it. Xue Han exclaimed in surprise, "It's a powerful aura! This thing can actually generate a powerful aura!"

Only extraordinary creatures can generate natural powerful auras, such as dragons, phoenixes, unicorns...and other spirits. Xiao Xuan was both surprised and delighted, "Haha! Amazing, isn't it? Otherwise, why would I name it the Invincible General!"

"Hmph, don't be too happy yet. Why is this thing constantly trembling? It looks like it's about to fall apart." Shui Ruo,

with her hands behind her back, continued to pour cold water on the situation.

Xiao Xuan suddenly turned around, cupped the girl's head in his hands, and planted a vicious kiss on her delicate face with lightning speed, laughing wildly, "Jealous, aren't you! It's human nature, I understand!"

Shui Ruo was stunned, her face flushing red, and she roared angrily, "You pig-headed idiot, are you crazy?!"

Xiao Xuan himself was startled and hurriedly said, "It was an accident... How could I... I'm... I'm sorry..."

"Cui Xiao Xuan, I... I'll kill you!"

Shui Ruo shouted, tears welling up in her eyes.

Xiao Wan, standing nearby, clicked her tongue and said, "Xiao Xuan, you're finished..."

Xiao Xuan slowly backed away, then suddenly turned and ran away.

Suddenly, the women cried out in alarm. Mengtang shouted, "Be careful!"

"Could it be that the little wicked woman really tried to poison me?"

Xiao Xuan dared not hesitate for a moment. He suddenly felt a scorching heat behind him, as if the blazing sun in the sky was right next to him. He was so hot that he was sweating profusely. He was startled and turned around to see his invincible general following behind him. He swung his giant fist, which was wreathed in flames, and smashed down from the sky like a burning meteor.
