Chapter 181 The Carefree Golden Immortal
Three days later.
Li Lan has already rushed back to the Northern Frontier and appeared in Sun Moon Prefecture, where the Sun Moon Sect's headquarters is located.
"My name is Li Lan, and I request an audience with your sect leader."
He identified himself without hiding anything.
"Young Master Li Lan?"
The Sun Moon Sect's reception staff were clearly surprised. After hesitating for a moment, they said, "The sect leader has ordered that she is currently very busy with official business and will not be seeing any guests. Please stay at the Sun Moon Pavilion to rest."
Li Lan frowned slightly and asked, "Where are Elder Cao Yueshu and Miss Shangguan Xiaoxiao?"
The receptionist shook his head: "They won't be seeing any guests anytime soon."
Before Li Lan arrived, he had already contacted Cao Yueshu through the Sun and Moon Mirror that Sun and Moon had taught him, but there was no response. Now, seeing it again, he instantly understood.
It seems the higher-ups within the Sun Moon Sect will not be meeting with Li Lan.
"What exactly happened?"
He was filled with doubt. Based on his understanding of the Sun Moon Sect's higher-ups and Shangguan Xiaoxiao, they shouldn't have defected to the enemy.
The leaders of the Sun Moon Sect, including Luo Yan, were not cowards. Shangguan Xiaoxiao was an even more free-spirited and unrestrained woman. How could she, like an ordinary person, use her marriage as a means to advance her career for petty and despicable reasons?
There must be a hidden story behind this.
But if he doesn't see him at all, how can he find out the truth?
"Young Master,"
The receptionist whispered, "Our leader has ordered that whatever you need, young master, whether it be immortal resources, magical treasures, or spiritual medicines, our sect will do everything in its power to support you regardless of the cost. However, they do not wish to see you."
Li Lan said:
"Was the engagement to the True Dragon Clan at the behest of the Sun Moon Sect, or was it Shangguan Xiaoxiao's own intention?"
The receptionist said, "It was Miss Shangguan who brought it up herself."
Li Lan said coldly, "If I don't see her, how will I know if it was her true intention?"
The receptionist sighed, then took out an item and said, "This is a letter written by Miss Shangguan. Please take a look, sir."
Li Lan took the letter, opened it, and found only one sentence:
"How can we say we have no clothes? We share the same robes with you."
This poem was written by Li Lan and given to her when he was in Dali.
No one else will know.
For a moment, Li Lan was puzzled. "How can we say we have no clothes but share the same robes?" This was a vow to live and die together on the battlefield.
"Please tell her that no matter what difficulties she faces... she still has me."
"She doesn't want to see me now, but I will still ask her about it in person when she gets married."
After saying that, Li Lan turned and left.
The host watched his departing figure and could only sigh.
……
Sun and Moon Sect.
"He came, and then he left."
On the green peak, Cao Yueshu arrived and looked at the increasingly aloof figure sitting alone on the summit, saying, "You said he wouldn't come."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao simply smiled faintly: "He came, but it's not necessarily for me."
"It could also be for the sake of the so-called bigger picture."
Cao Yueshu shook his head: "No."
"He doesn't believe it was your own idea to want to see you. Even after reading that letter, he still said he would ask you in person at your wedding."
He also said that no matter what difficulties there are in this world, he is always there for you.
A complex emotion finally appeared on Shangguan Xiaoxiao's exquisitely beautiful face.
"Are you really not going to see him?"
Cao Yueshu's question kept flashing through her mind.
……
Not long after, Li Lan returned. Looking at the ever-changing landscape of Qianchuan, Li Lan was quite moved.
Who could have imagined that the Yuan clan would one day prosper so much?
The land is crisscrossed by spiritual veins, and rare birds and cranes can be seen everywhere. The medicinal fields are full of various spiritual herbs.
The cultivators of the Abyss Clan are also making rapid progress. With sufficient resources to support them, geniuses such as Jian Yinyue and Jian Yingzhou have developed quickly and have already become immortals.
The strongest are still Li Yue and Zhu Xianchou.
Both of them were in seclusion. Li Yue was cultivating the human path and gathering great fortune. Li Lan could see Li Yue's astonishing cause and effect by using his Heavenly Eye. Zhu Xianchou had embarked on the path of the True Dragon Technique, and the sound of dragon roars could be heard every day from his secluded cave.
"Chief, you're back!"
Upon seeing him, Liu Ziwen and the others greeted him with great excitement, and then told him about the recent development of Qianchuan Land, as well as various news from the Northern Frontier.
The Yuan Clan not only focused on its own development, but also paid close attention to the general trend of the world.
“The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix said that our Thousand Rivers Land only developed to its current state by draining the Ten Thousand Mountain Range. Now that the True Dragon Clan has returned, there may be some friction. Therefore, we have been preparing for war during this period!”
Liu Ziwen reported, "The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix has already set up a Great Sage-level magic array for us."
Li Lan nodded; the reason he rushed back was because of this.
"Although the land of a thousand rivers has developed rapidly, it still lacks some cultural heritage."
Li Lan smiled, then took out a bunch of precious medicines from his storage ring!
Among them are more than twenty medicinal kings and minor medicinal kings that are useful to powerful beings. Most amazingly, there is also a blood bodhi tree that is radiant with light, a seven-leaf clover that looks like jade, and a blue blood lingzhi that is the size of a palm!
"This is... a sacred medicine?"
Liu Ziwen, Jian Yingzhou, and others were all extremely shocked.
Such a sacred medicine is extremely precious, capable of helping people break through to the Immortal Saint realm. Even powerful forces like the Qin family, the Li family, and the Sun Moon Sect probably only have two or three of them.
Now, Li Lan has taken out three plants at once, which is enough to make up for a major shortcoming in the Thousand Rivers region.
One can imagine that, if everything goes smoothly, a few hundred years from now, the Land of a Thousand Rivers will give birth to a celestial saint belonging to the Abyss Clan.
A truly glorious tradition will surely stand tall in the world.
For a moment, everyone was incredibly excited.
"This is... the sacred medicine of the Primordial Demon Ape Clan?"
At this moment, the Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix also appeared. Her beautiful and indifferent face showed a hint of shock. She said, "You went to the Primordial Demon Abyss?"
Upon hearing these four words, Liu Ziwen and the others were completely dumbfounded.
Who in the world doesn't know what happened to the Primordial Demon Ape Clan? A mysterious person took action and swept through the Primordial Demon Abyss, causing that clan to suffer a great loss. Even when the Celestial Court intervened, they couldn't even touch the hem of that mysterious person's robe.
Even within the Abyss Clan, many people are speculating that the one who made the move must be an extremely powerful Immortal Venerable.
but now……
"Is it the clan chief?"
Sword Hidden Moon couldn't help but murmur, all of this was too incredible.
"That's incredible!"
Everyone was amazed to discover that the one who stirred up the storm and caused the forbidden beings of the Primordial Era to suffer such a great loss was actually the patriarch of the Yuan Clan.
If word gets out, the whole world will be in an uproar!
"I just followed a master and learned a few things from him."
Li Lan smiled.
The main force that destroyed the Primordial Demon Abyss was indeed the monkey, and he wasn't lying.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, as if this made it easier for them to accept. After all, Li Lan was merely a Three-Flower True Immortal, and it was a bit too outrageous for him to fight against the Celestial Court and the Primordial Demon Ape Clan.
"These three sacred herbs are planted in a secret garden and must not be revealed to outsiders."
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix said something to Liu Ziwen, who nodded and immediately left with the sacred medicine.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Nine-Headed Celestial Lion Clan's defection at the Peach Banquet was also your doing, wasn't it?"
Li Lan and the Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix walked side by side up a green peak, where the Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix asked a question.
"A trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
Li Lan said.
"What a trivial skill."
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix said, "You are only a minor immortal now. It's hard to imagine what the Immortal Realm will be like if you become an Immortal Saint, a Great Sage, or even an Immortal Venerable one day!"
She was genuinely moved. Initially, she chose Li Lan simply because she felt that Li Lan's fate was unpredictable. However, one event after another has constantly refreshed her understanding of Li Lan.
He single-handedly ventured into the gray fog and emerged unscathed, bringing a century of peace to the immortal realm, stirring up a fierce battle against the forbidden race, and firmly gaining the upper hand...
If I had to describe him in two words, it would be: monstrous!
"If you and the Yuan Clan are given enough time, you might actually be able to leave your own chapter in history."
She looked at Li Lan solemnly: "The True Dragon Clan is about to return."
Li Lan said calmly, "So what if they return?"
"They won't come back unless it's the very last minute."
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix smiled and said, "This shows that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have begun to rot. They have nowhere to hide, so they have no choice but to put down their pride as forbidden beings and choose the path of alienation."
"You don't have much time left."
"You are indeed exceptionally intelligent, but when faced with the invasion of the Gray Mist, the pressure from the Forbidden Clan, and the Celestial Court... in the end, it is all about hard power."
This is the warning from the Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix!
Li Lan can still rely on his wits and resourcefulness to maneuver and change course because the crisis has not yet fully arrived.
Once a major war breaks out, even the greatest wisdom will be paved with overwhelming strength.
Li Lan nodded, and then immediately began his seclusion!
Within the Primordial Demon Abyss, he swept away six million catties of immortal essence, transforming it into immortal essence points. In addition, there were about one million catties of physical immortal essence and over one hundred and ten catties of divine essence in his storage ring.
That's enough for him to level up quickly!
"The Mysterious Immortal of Escape..."
He murmured.
Starting with the Immortal of the Hidden One, cultivators will enter a completely new realm—the Domain of the Spirit.
The so-called "escaping into oneness" means to allow one's own "oneness" to escape into the Dao domain.
The Spiritual Dao Realm is regarded as the final destination of the Great Dao. Throughout history, all cultivators have entered it to experience the true essence of the Great Dao and find a path to continuous advancement.
With the storage ring in hand, the surging immortal energy of millions of catties of immortal energy continuously entered his body. Li Lan was like a vortex, frantically swallowing it up. Then, he poured a massive amount of immortal energy into the Heaven-Mending Technique!
The image of the Stone Clan, like a great sun, shone into his heart. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the ancient time when the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The ocean was turbulent, and the peerless goddess was carrying a bamboo basket containing five-colored immortal stones. She was going against the current and soaring into the sky in a storm formed by various strange forces.
From the leak in the sky, a strange, enormous hand emerged from nowhere and pressed down fiercely, causing Li Lan to feel a tremor originating from his very soul.
The large hand seemed not to come from a human, but from a living creature.
The Goddess of Mending Heaven was shaken by all the laws of nature, and bursts of celestial light and colorful clouds erupted. However, when faced with that palm strike, her body was almost completely torn apart, her flesh and blood exploding inch by inch, and she was on the verge of death.
In the end, only one drop of blood remained.
But within that drop of blood, various rules emerged, completing her entire being, and her flesh and blood were reborn.
The eerie giant hand was about to fall again, but this time the Goddess of Patching the Sky seemed to be immune. She was not injured again, but instead gently struck out with her palm to meet the giant hand and force it back!
The screen suddenly disappeared.
But various insights flowed into Li Lan's heart like a stream.
Last time, he only got a rough idea of the Heaven-Mending Technique, but now, the secrets of the Heaven-Mending Technique's flesh and blood regeneration are fully revealed in his eyes.
