Chapter 229 Immortal Venerable Dao Realm
The world before my eyes was gray and dark.
It's as if there's no sun, and it's perpetually in a state of overcast skies, with no blue sky or white clouds above, just a gray dome.
The sand beneath my feet contains no living matter or nutrients, let alone water, the source of life.
However, the world did not appear to be completely desolate. There were patches of weeds at Li Lan's feet and groves of trees ahead.
However, these weeds and trees, after being broken, were clearly all dead matter, but because of the flowing gray mist, they actually appeared to be growing and not yet dead.
In a sense, perhaps strange matter is the origin of life in this world.
Li Lan's flesh and blood seemed out of place.
"Luckily, I brought enough Immortal Essence..."
Li Lan couldn't help but feel fortunate, unless he had previously taken a large amount of resources from the Immortal Realm without any hesitation, because it was impossible to find source stones in the Origin Realm.
The resources he currently possesses should be sufficient for him to cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Once you reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Immortal Source loses its function, and what you need to go further is the "Dao Stone"!
It was a stone containing the laws of heaven and earth, and it was very precious. The Immortal War Alliance searched for it all over the Immortal Realm, but to no avail. All of them were taken into the Origin Realm by the Supreme Immortal Emperor and various forces.
Only great sages and immortals know about this; ordinary cultivators are unaware of its existence.
"Now I can also cultivate extraordinary techniques!"
He quietly began to practice the technique the cat had taught him.
The cat valued this technique extremely highly and repeatedly instructed Li Lan that he must not let anyone know about it.
Having gone through so much and understood the situation in the Origin Realm, Li Lan had a vague idea of the use of this technique!
This will be his biggest trump card when he faces his final crisis.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't relax.
Wisps of gray mist flowed into his body from the surrounding vegetation, and the small gray tree in his dantian revived, slowly absorbing and refining it as his extraordinary technique continued to circulate...
"This area should belong to the Alien Alliance."
He murmured to himself, recalling that he had previously given the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable a detailed account of the Origin Realm.
Shizhou can be said to be one of the most desolate regions in the Origin Realm, because it is the farthest from the "Black Sea"!
The origin of all living beings in the Origin Realm comes from that terrifying Black Sea. The closer the distance, the more sacred the cultivation ground for strange creatures. This place is the farthest away, so the major forces here are not very strong, but there are still one or two small branch camps to maintain it.
Li Lan did not intend to leave immediately.
According to his calculations, Yongqing should already be leading the Immortal Alliance to the Desert of Death. After the Immortal Alliance reacts, they should immediately begin searching along the various routes from the Beginning Provinces to the War Alliance.
What Li Lan had to do was to stay in Shizhou for a while!
After the Immortal Alliance has completely lost its composure, then slowly move on to the War Alliance.
Moreover, he had another consideration.
The alliance is not a monolithic entity. If Yongqing had no one backing him, how could he dare to oppose Li Lan?
Therefore, you must further improve your strength before joining a battle alliance!
He planned to cultivate in Shizhou and take the opportunity to thoroughly master the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.
This method is profound and complex; Qin Guang, Chu Jiang, and the other two have only scratched the surface.
Once he has thoroughly mastered it, he might be able to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
He walked forward, searching around, activating his Heavenly Eye, and soon found a decent ley line.
Although the strange energy is completely opposite to the source energy, as long as it is the gathering and dispersing of energy and the convergence of meridians, the principle is the same. Therefore, Li Lan can find it as easily as he finds the source meridian.
"Ok?"
Just as he was preparing to carve out a cave on a mountain peak filled with eerie energy, he discovered a strong malevolent aura within it. He dug inside and found a pool with a lifelike, strange corpse inside!
It was a woman. So many years had passed, and even her precious clothes and armor had been repaired, yet her body remained incorruptible and intact, retaining her stunning beauty from her lifetime. She was naked and looked as radiant as jade.
Li Lan was quite surprised. He already knew that there were some strange creatures in the Abyss Realm that could maintain their physical bodies.
However, to achieve this, these beings must have truly attained the pinnacle of creation and achieved immortality during their lifetime, so that even after death, their physical bodies remain intact despite being eroded by strange forces in the Black Sea.
Once awakened, such a being would undoubtedly be invincible in the Origin Realm!
Now, the strange source vein is slowly nourishing this physical body, and Li Lan feels that she should not be far from transforming into a strange creature.
He walked over and discovered that beside the body of the peerless female cultivator, on the side of a decayed bronze sword, there was a line of small characters engraved:
"Qi Yan, having failed to save the Lord of Reincarnation alongside the Black Emperor and the White Emperor, I am about to die here. I wish to return to my homeland, but my homeland is already lost. If anyone comes, burn my body, so that it will not bring misfortune upon future generations..."
Li Lan was deeply moved!
Qi Yan, that is the name of this female cultivator.
She once fought alongside the Black Emperor and the White Emperor, trying to save the Lord of Reincarnation.
Li Lan knew that after the Lord of Reincarnation disappeared, the Black Emperor and others had gone to the source once, but that time they suffered a crushing defeat. The big black dog had turned into a strange creature, and the others had all perished.
After her defeat, this female cultivator arrived at this place, wanting to return to her hometown, but she was already exhausted and dying. On her deathbed, she did not want to cause harm to the world after her death, so she instructed her descendants to cremate her body.
Unfortunately, she didn't wait for anyone else.
Li Lan sighed softly, looking at the strange life growing inside the corpse, and hesitated for a moment.
This corpse is immortal. His cultivation level is probably not enough to harm it, but he can disrupt the gestation process, preventing the corpse from developing any strange life forms.
However, Li Lan hesitated for a moment and decided to wait and see!
For example, after being reborn as bizarre beings, such as the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable, although they forgot their past lives, their instincts remained, and they still harbored the desire to fight against the source...
If this female cultivator named Qi Yan can still remember this after transforming into a strange creature, in a sense, it can be considered a second life, continuing her former ideals.
It might not be a bad thing.
If she has forgotten everything, then Li Lan can kill her again. Although her past life was absolutely earth-shattering, she has been reborn as a supernatural being for a short time and her strength is limited. Li Lan can easily suppress her.
With that in mind, he dug a cave nearby and began his cultivation.
……
Li Lan sat cross-legged, drawing in a strange aura. Within his dantian, a small gray tree continuously absorbed it, slowly growing.
At the same time, the details of the battle with Qin Guang and Chu Jiang on that day replayed in Li Lan's mind.
The three men's teachings had already left an indelible mark on his mind!
This mark embodies the essence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist.
Li Lan still had about a billion catties of immortal energy left in his body, which was an astronomical number. Without hesitation, he poured it into his body, and in an instant, he entered the state of enlightenment once again.
Around his body, gray mist surged wildly, forming a vortex, and various Dao principles slowly emerged, with yellow smoke permeating within, making it appear extremely mysterious and profound...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
After half a year, Li Lan finally awoke from his state of enlightenment!
The billion catties of immortal essence have been completely exhausted.
Li Lan slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, various phantoms appeared around him: the Bridge of Helplessness over the flowing Yellow Springs, the eighteen levels of hell in front of the Hall of Reincarnation, the endless sea of suffering... and even the other shore.
Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, Minor Success!
It's only a minor achievement!
The Dao principles he gleaned from this have caused his Myriad Dao Flames to expand and grow once more. With a wave of his hand, he formed a domain of fire!
This domain can cover tens of thousands of miles, and it is filled with the Mingzun Law, the Heaven-Mending Law, the True Dragon Technique, and the Dao principles of 109 peerless masters!
at the same time--
The distant fairy realm.
Within the land of a thousand rivers.
Suddenly, red clouds appeared out of thin air in the sky. These clouds were like flames, and wherever their light shone, all kinds of laws and great principles descended, blessing the entire land of Thousand Rivers!
In an instant, the entire Qianchuanyuan clan was greatly encouraged!
"What's going on? Is this a blessing from heaven?"
"It's the aura of the Great Dao. I feel like I'm witnessing the Great Dao manifest, directly reaching the origin?"
"Even spiritual herbs and medicines are evolving?!"
Everyone was shocked.
"It's the Dao Realm!"
At this moment, the Heavenly Venerable Bai Chen, who was stationed here, opened his eyes and exclaimed, "This place is where the new Lord of Reincarnation rose to power. As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, his entire clan ascends to heaven. He has already entered the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Therefore, his hometown and the place of his lineage have naturally received the blessings of heaven and earth!"
Jin Moya nodded and said solemnly, "This Dao Realm... is too astonishing!"
"I can actually sense that there seems to be some cyclical energy within it..."
The Immortal Venerable's own Great Dao will also leave opportunities in the Dao Realm. If there are extremely intelligent people among his descendants who can seize them, they can obtain the same inheritance as Li Lan.
This is why the Dao Realm flourished in the former Immortal Realm!
Now, within Li Lan's Cycle of Reincarnation, there is likely a trace of the Cycle of Reincarnation Law. How could this not be shocking?
Moreover, besides the path of reincarnation, they also sensed many other incredibly powerful techniques, such as the True Dragon Technique and the Heaven-Mending Technique, which were simply vast and boundless.
"Throughout history, such a realm of Dao has been rarely seen!"
They were all deeply moved, saying, "The Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan is destined to rise!"
Bai Ruoling and Jin Muyun were also quite pleased as they looked at the true form of the Great Dao scattered between heaven and earth.
"His cultivation progress is really fast, Sister Muyun, we have to work harder!"
Bai Ruoling said, "We should also fight alongside him like Sister Xiaoxiao, instead of becoming a burden to him."
Jin Muyun nodded and said, "Go into seclusion!"
The two immediately went into seclusion that same day.
Li Yue, Zhu Xianchou, and others were also filled with emotion.
"The new master of reincarnation has taken another step forward..."
On another mountain peak, Lin Ruofeng, the sect leader of the Sword Sect, smiled and said, "In such a Dao Realm, I almost feel that his cultivation level is comparable to that of a Heavenly Venerable?"
Leader Luo Yan smiled and said, "Perhaps the best thing we did was make the right choice."
Lin Ruofeng wholeheartedly agreed.
If the other forces in the Immortal Realm had been more resolute and stayed, they would now be enjoying a golden age, blessed by Li Lan and free from the scourge of the gray mist. Unfortunately, too many people made the wrong choice!
……
Yuanjie, Shizhou.
Inside the cave.
For a fleeting moment, Li Lan seemed to experience a transcendental sensation; it was as if he had truly returned to the Land of a Thousand Rivers, seeing familiar faces one by one…
It's as if we can see Bai Chen and Jin Moya sighing, Jin Muyun and Bai Ruoling going into seclusion, Li Yue cultivating diligently, and Lin Ruofeng and Sect Leader Luo Yan chatting and laughing...
Perhaps it was because he was so far away, but the land of a thousand rivers still gave him a profound sense of belonging.
"Is the Dao Realm the anchor...?"
He whispered.
There are rumors that the Dao Realm is the foundation for great cultivators to ascend to higher realms, and the anchor that holds a small boat aloft in the midst of storms.
Just as Li Lan needed someone to provide him with coordinates in the present world when he entered the space-time of time, it is easier to lose oneself the further one goes on the path of cultivation. That is why he left behind the Dao Realm at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
The Dao Realm is one of the things most deeply intertwined with the cultivator's own karma, and it can prevent one from getting lost.
"It's about time to go to the War Alliance."
Li Lan stood up.
Six months have passed; I wonder what's happening in the outside world?
As planned, although Zhanmeng Tianzun and the others could not find him, they should be able to stabilize the situation without any problems.
All that's needed is to announce that the new master of reincarnation is in seclusion, and the major alliances will naturally not press the issue.
Moreover, although the Immortal Alliance has amazing trump cards, those trump cards cannot be used easily. Therefore, the Immortal Alliance may not dare to directly attack the War Alliance.
He got up and stretched.
"Hurry up and go there. From now on, this place is your pasture. Graz here!"
At that moment, a voice came from outside.
With a quick glance, Li Lan could clearly see the scene outside: a group of cultivators were using whips and other weapons to drive away many flesh and blood creatures!
He was immediately taken aback!
Firstly, the flesh and blood creatures that were driven away were actually all forbidden races from the Immortal Realm, such as the Five Elements Heavenly Kui Clan, the Mighty Demon Bull Clan, and the Primordial Demon Ape Clan. Now they were all in their original forms, unable to maintain their human bodies. In fact, they even had collars and reins on their bodies, seemingly becoming livestock.
Secondly, the people who drove away these strange creatures... were actually his acquaintances.
Leading the group was none other than Gu Ling, the former female disciple of the Celestial Court's Seeking Origin Heavenly Lord!
Accompanying her was Princess Zhuiyue, who had been Li Lan's wife for a period of time back then.
However, the two of them are no longer as high and mighty as they were in the celestial realm. Instead, they are dressed simply, and their noble temperament is completely gone. Their faces are weathered and worn, as if they have fallen from being saints or princesses to maids or village girls!
