True Villain: Noble Identity, Prominent ...
Chapter 326: The birth of a power beyond the will of heaven, the Tower of Aspirations, the end of cause and effect
In the middle of the courtyard, Jiang Lan sat quietly on a stone bench, wearing a white robe, which was light, bright, gorgeous, and otherworldly. You'er poured tea for Gongsun Ziwei and then stood by obediently with her hands hanging down.
After staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days, Emperor Xia returned to the palace, and Xiao Yingyue and others also left one after another.
If it weren't for Gongsun Ziwei's visit, Jiang Lan would actually have some free time.
"This is your own fate. You don't need to be too demanding about this so-called cause and effect and human feelings." Jiang Lan took the initiative to speak in a casual tone.
He knew why Gongsun Ziwei came.
Gongsun Ziwei could be considered his former protector and had indeed helped him. When he was going through the eighth level of heavenly tribulation, Gongsun Ziwei also appeared to help him block the invading enemies.
Gongsun Ziwei sat quietly opposite him, her posture very dignified and elegant. She gently held her black hair and said with a complicated tone, "Of all the debts in the world, the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay."
The current Jiang Lan gave her a completely different feeling from before. His every move revealed a kind of detachment as if he was detached from the rest of the world. Even a saint would feel nervous in front of him.
This emotion was something she had never felt before.
Jiang Lan has indeed reached a level that the world cannot imagine. The domain field around him naturally affects the people around him.
Even his current physical body is more solid than the general universe.
Every cell contains unimaginable power, and even if this power is restrained, it will naturally radiate.
"Are you still obsessed with that joke I once said?" Jiang Lan said with a smile.
A rare blush appeared on Gongsun Ziwei's face.
She used to be a senior in front of Jiang Lan, but after several years, she became a junior who had to look up to him.
It really proves that nothing is as it seems in this world.
"It turns out that was just a joke. I later thought about it carefully and wondered whether it was really the future." Gongsun Ziwei also smiled, her expression calm and natural.
Because what Jiang Lan said at that time was indeed too intimidating, and many things that happened in Jiuzhou later also confirmed those words.
Jiang Lan's followers, such as Ao Yin, Kong Xuan, and Yuan Kong, all benefited from Jiang Lan's guidance and made rapid progress.
These few people are now famous in the land of Kyushu. They are extremely powerful and their future achievements are limitless.
Gongsun Ziwei had also thought about it and deduced it. After all, she had inherited the legacy of Emperor Ziwei, and according to rumors, the relationship between Emperor Ziwei and the Emperor of Heaven was very subtle.
Jiang Lan claims to be the future Emperor of Heaven, and various signs in the world today also indicate that he is likely to become the real Emperor of Heaven in the future.
In the Tiandi Temples all over the land of Jiuzhou, countless monks and creatures worship and pray there every day with great piety.
In this situation, even an ordinary creature will be infected with boundless pure faith and create a golden body of faith, which is similar to the practice of ancient Buddhism.
"Everyone says some crazy things when they are young." Jiang Lan smiled.
He knew that Gongsun Ziwei was determined to seek the truth, and that she came here today just to repay a favor, not because of the joke she made before.
Gongsun Ziwei gently gathered the hair on her forehead and responded with a gentle smile.
Afterwards, she asked Jiang Lan for advice on his experiences in cultivation. Everyone has their own sequence in learning. Although she is older than Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan can indeed be considered her predecessor now.
Jiang Lan naturally also offered advice.
Gongsun Ziwei benefited a lot and left with gratitude.
In the following time, Jiang Lan still stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He did not focus on cultivation, but continued to sort out and create his own middle thousand spheres and perfect the new heaven within them.
The news of his return spread secretly in a small circle, and many acquaintances learned the news and came to visit him with excitement. Among them were his former followers Kong Xuan, Yuan Kong and others.
There are also some characters that surprise Jiang Lan, such as the Stone Saint from the North Sea.
When Shi Sheng came to visit, he also brought his grandson Shi Tian with him. He made Shi Tian strip his upper body, remove his magic power, carry thorns on his back, and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize for past grievances.
Coincidentally, when Shi Sheng came to visit, the king of Nie Er Kingdom also came with Nie Zhaoyi.
In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Nie Zhaoyi looked at Shi Tian, who was kneeling there for a long time with blood all over his back and thorns on his back, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Even the king of Nie Er Kingdom couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Shi Sheng remained calm and still let his grandson kneel there.
Finally, Jiang Lan let them all in and did not let Shi Tian continue to kneel. With his current cultivation and strength, there was naturally no need to put pressure on Shi Sheng because of the little grudge in the past.
As for Shi Tian, although his original form was the Sky-Repairing Stone, Jiang Lan had not taken him seriously before, let alone now.
Shi Sheng is very smart. He did this not to make Shi Tian let go of his hatred, but to make Jiang Lan let Shi Tian go.
Jiang Lan naturally knew what everyone was thinking, but he was too lazy to point it out.
Nie Zhaoyi's arrival also brought him a piece of news, that there was a clue to the other piece of Sky-Bulding Stone that Jiang Lan was looking for.
To be precise, the Sky-Repairing Stone was also like Shi Tian, it was conceived and transformed into a human form, and it was Shi Tian's destined love.
After a brief deduction, Jiang Lan soon came up with a result.
That piece of sky-repairing stone also involves the location of Xitu. Although he now has the Xuanhuang mother earth in his hand, Xitu is equally important and can be used as the original material to nourish the thousand spheres.
But now is not the right time to go and get it.
After thanking Nie Zhaoyi, Jiang Lan took out a handful of five-colored soil from the Palace of the Heavens and gave it to her. Although the five-colored soil was not as good as the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Soil and the Xi Soil, it was also suitable for nourishing various magical medicines.
Back then in the Palace of the Heavens, the Emperor of Heaven also used it to nurture the Divine Tree of Creation.
Nie Zhaoyi's true form is the flower that is associated with the Sky-Repairing Stone, and because of a love calamity, his roots were damaged.
This portion of five-colored soil was enough for her to slowly warm up and recover in the future.
After Nie Zhaoyi and others left, Jiang Lan went into seclusion.
He put all his thoughts into nurturing the middle thousand sphere, and he also sacrificed the golden tripod of luck, which was placed in the center of the new heaven.
The Golden Cauldron of Fortune seemed to be forged by Huang Daoxian today, thick and weathered. Inscribed on the inside of the cauldron were countless array patterns and symbols of the avenue, which resonated violently there.
Because of the resonance of the Golden Tripod of Fortune, boundless strange visions appeared in the middle thousand spheres. An infinitely large and magnificent golden tripod appeared between heaven and earth, emitting all kinds of strange visions.
Endless matter, passing through the barrier of the middle thousand spheres, gathered from the vast time and space and planes. In Jiang Lan's perception, there was even a breath coming from the heavens.
This golden tripod of luck not only absorbs the luck from the land of Kyushu, but also absorbs the luck from the heavens.
This is a magical object that can truly suppress the destiny of the heavens.
"Using the power of luck absorbed by the Golden Cauldron of Luck to build the New Heavenly Palace can indeed accelerate the growth of the New Heavenly Palace."
During this process, Jiang Lan took out the Ball of Aspiration and refined it again. Endless chaotic energy was lingering, and all kinds of rare divine materials from the universe were added into it. He burned it with the True Fire of the Dao, refining those divine materials into mist. Then he drew various ancient runes and chanted the true words of the Dao.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe his current magical power as boundless, but when he was re-refining the Orb of Aspiration, Jiang Lan still felt a sense of obstruction and difficulty.
Somewhere in the dark, there was an invisible force obstructing him. The Orb of Aspiration was used to collect the power of thoughts. Trying to control people's hearts was essentially against God's will.
Because man can conquer nature, and even nature cannot completely control people's hearts, Jiang Lan wants to use a treasure to control people's hearts, peek into their thoughts, and control all the power of thoughts.
This goes against the general trend and the laws of nature.
Boom!!!
Finally, this place exploded completely, and the ball of ambition turned into countless fragments, unable to withstand the obstruction and backlash from the unknown.
Jiang Lan's face was as gloomy as water. Finally, he collected all the fragments and fell into deep thought.
He had expected to fail the first time, so he was not surprised. He began to think about how to deal with this situation.
This kind of treasure that can control people's hearts should be the first time in history that it has appeared. Its difficulty is no different from creating the world in chaos.
A few days later, he tried again and took out a huge pile of divine materials and treasures, piling them up like a mountain. In the process, he branded his own real name in the form of the mantra of the Great Dao, trying to withstand the backlash.
The result was no surprise, it still failed.
The fragments of the Ball of Ambition shattered again, becoming even smaller.
"Refine the nine complete avenue rules into it and try to mend the sky..."
After pondering for half a month, Jiang Lan decided to change his way of thinking. This time, there were indeed different changes. Although the newly condensed ball of ambition was still blocked, it did not explode. The nine complete rules of the avenue, like a branding chain, firmly fixed it together.
However, the surface of the Ambition Ball is still full of cracks, as if it will break at any time.
If it weren't for the constraints of the nine complete avenue rules, it would probably have collapsed in the first place.
"It can only be considered as the completion of the first step. I have greatly underestimated the emergence of this treasure."
Jiang Lan looked at the Golden Tripod of Fortune.
He planned to refine a treasure comparable to the Golden Cauldron of Fortune in order to control people's hearts. When the Emperor of Heaven was refining the Golden Cauldron of Fortune, he must have encountered unprecedented obstacles.
In the following time, he carefully observed the Golden Cauldron of Fortune, immersing all his mind in it, observing its traces, essence, and the lines of refining, constantly analyzing and deducing, and then disassembling it again.
“Very familiar…”
"This method is similar to the one I used when I was refining the Ambition Orb. There is no difference in essence. They are both a blending method."
"Can great strength bring about miracles?"
"It seems that my current cultivation is not enough to support it."
Jiang Lan fell into deep thought again.
He did not intend to give up, because after re-refining the Ball of Aspiration, he would use it to absorb the power of thoughts and control people's hearts. This would not only allow him to get a glimpse of the secrets of all the ways and spirits in the world, but would also further feed back to the growth of the Dao Fruit of the Heart.
After the Ball of Aspiration collects the power of thoughts, it is used to extract and condense pure power, which is comparable to luck and can be used for the growth of the mysterious ancient vine.
"The so-called power of luck is not only related to the will of heaven, but also to the human heart. The power of human mind can condense pure energy comparable to the power of luck, which also illustrates the truth that man can conquer nature."
"If you master the secrets of the human heart, you will be able to create a power that surpasses the will of heaven..."
"The refining of the Aspiration Ball will be more difficult than the Golden Cauldron of Luck."
Jiang Lan then took out the Tongtian Stele.
According to Jiang Ruxian, this is the boundary marker that the Emperor of Heaven used to divide the boundaries of the heavens and formulate the rules of the Jedi Heaven Passage. Above this marker is the Nine Heavens, which was once the ancient heaven.
Below this monument, all the mundane worlds are separated forever by this monument.
Without permission from heaven, no living being may set foot within the boundaries of this monument without permission.
Following the great catastrophe in the heavens, the ancient heaven was shattered and this stele was also lost.
Jiang Lan looked at the Tongtian Stele in his hand, intending to refine it and use it to repair the cracks on the Orb of Ambition.
After all, this thing is refined from the Xuanhuang mother earth, and is an extremely rare original substance.
He originally wanted to keep it to nourish the Zhongqian Sphere, but Xitu already had a clue, so he could be extravagant and refine the Tongtian Stele to repair the cracks in the Ambition Sphere.
Boom!!! As Jiang Lan began to refine the Tongtian Tablet, an astonishing scene appeared here, as if the world was reopened in the chaos, and all kinds of strange substances were steaming out, and the Xuanhuang mother energy was diffused, covering Jiang Lan completely.
He sacrificed the broken ball of ambition, and covered it with wisps of the mysterious yellow mother energy, repairing the obvious and damaged marks. The morning light flickered, and a sound like the collision of worlds was made.
A substance like chaos soil gushed out there, filling the cracks in the Sphere of Ambition.
During this process, Jiang Lan had an idea and wrapped the Ball of Ambition again with the True Fire of the Great Dao, intending to change its appearance.
If it is spherical, I am afraid it will not be able to bear the heavy and boundless backlash force. Since ancient times, towers and tripods have represented a kind of sacred power.
Pagodas can represent spirituality and divine power, and are places to pray to and pay respect to the gods. In Buddhism, pagodas are considered a symbol of the Buddha, representing wisdom and compassion.
"After today, there will be no more Aspiration Balls."
This re-refining process lasted for half a month.
Even Jiang Lan felt it was very strenuous, and even the nine complete rules of the avenue were on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, it succeeded later. Jiang Lan used his own blood to stabilize the trend of the Tower of Ambition breaking down.
All kinds of supreme laws surged, tearing apart the chaos, and finally a dazzling light bloomed, like the first ray of light of creation born in the vast primordial chaos, nurturing new life, and symbolizing hope and beauty.
In the space and time outside the middle thousand spheres, endless storms of the Great Dao were also surging. Between heaven and earth and in the endless planes, an eternal and vicissitudes of life voice seemed to resound at this moment, announcing to the world.
An unimaginable treasure was born.
The thirteen-story Tower of Ambition stood in front of Jiang Lan. Each floor of the tower was crystal clear, surrounded by chaotic energy, and extremely mysterious. It naturally exuded a power that seemed to be able to interpret all the secrets of the world.
Jiang Lan's face was pale, but he did not look tired.
He stared at the Tower of Aspirations and felt a spiritual connection between himself and it.
However, the current Tower of Ambition is not a true Tower of Ambition, as it is not complete and can only be considered a prototype.
The true Tower of Aspiration is like the Golden Cauldron of Luck, a treasure that can absorb the power of all heavens and worlds and trillions of thoughts in time and space, and has the power to control the essence of human hearts.
“When the thirteen floors of the tower are completely perfect and crystal clear, and emit infinite light, the Tower of Aspiration will be completely complete.”
When Jiang Lan was refining the Tower of Aspirations, he broke it down into thirteen layers based on the seven emotions and six desires. This was the essence of his division when he used the Dao Fruit of the Heart to analyze the secrets of the human heart.
The seven emotions: joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear and surprise, are the emotions in the human heart.
The six desires and six consciousnesses, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, are the external factors of the human mind.
Any thoughts and ideas are essentially derivatives of the seven emotions and six desires.
Whether it is the desire for strength, longevity, wealth, or power, it is the derivative of the external factors of the human heart and one or two of the seven emotions.
Therefore, any power of the mind can be divided into the thirteen floors of the Tower of Aspirations after analysis.
"In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed..."
Jiang Lan accepted the Tower of Aspirations, and allowed the Golden Cauldron of Luck to continue absorbing the luck of the heavens within the Zhongqian Sphere. With a flash of his figure, he left here and came to the outside world.
When he left the Zhongqian Sphere, he took out Fu Daocang, who had been in a coma. After all, it was agreed that Yuqing Sword Fairy would meet her master.
Jiang Lan would naturally not go back on his word.
It is already autumn in Kyushu. Dead leaves are floating in the courtyard, and it feels a bit deserted.
However, what surprised Jiang Lan was that his father Jiang Lintian successfully broke through the ninth realm and became a saint in the past six months.
Now I have left the country.
When the father and son met again, there was naturally a sigh and they had a lot to talk about.
Jiang Lan drank a lot of wine with Jiang Lintian and continued drinking until dawn.
Jiang Lintian, a man with a calm personality, couldn't help shedding a few tears and his temples turned white when he mentioned the time when Jiang Lan faked his death.
Jiang Lan took action, secretly sorting out the foundation for him, and left many magical objects for him, as well as some supreme scriptures, and then left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He took Fu Daocang to the ruins of the Daocang Sword Sect, where he met the Yuqing Sword Immortal.
She was still wearing the same gray and white robe as before, with a plump figure and a simple jade hairpin inserted diagonally. She was dressed very simply.
When Jiang Lan appeared, she was still sweeping dust in the courtyard of a dilapidated blue brick and tile house that was covered with vines and weeds.
"Master... Master..."
When Yuqing Sword Immortal saw Jiang Lan, he was slightly startled, then he reacted and subconsciously called himself Qing Nu and knelt down.
She didn't know that Jiang Lan had returned, but she always felt that Jiang Lan would not die easily.
In recent years, he has been living in seclusion in the ruins of the Dao Cang Sword Sect.
The days when she was imprisoned in the small world by Jiang Lan had become a nightmarish memory that could not be erased at all.
Even when he was meditating, he would be startled awake and become terrified.
"Qingnu greets the master. It's great that the master has returned safely." Yuqing Sword Fairy lowered her head and did not dare to look up.
"No need to be so polite."
"I came here today to bring someone here."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Haven't you always wanted to see him?"
Jiang Lan glanced at the place where she had been living in seclusion for some time and shook his head slightly. He did not have any sympathy for Yuqing Sword Immortal.
If she had been a little more cruel at the beginning, she would have been buried in a foreign land by now, and the grass on her grave would be very tall.
Although it looks a bit miserable now, it's her own fault.
"What the master said is..."
Yuqing Sword Immortal opened his eyes slightly and looked behind Jiang Lan. He had some vague guesses in his mind and his words trembled.
Jiang Lan didn't say much. He threw Fu Daocang's men out and threw them in front of Yuqing Sword Immortal.
"you……"
"Are you the Master?"
Yuqing Sword Immortal's eyes widened instantly. He looked at the extremely familiar face in front of him, his voice trembling, and he didn't know what to say.
Fu Daocang's face turned pale. He ignored the Jade Green Sword Immortal in front of him. Instead, he looked at Jiang Lan in fear and said, "There is no grudge between you and me, sir."
"Master?"
Yuqing Sword Immortal suppressed his emotions and asked again.
However, Fu Daocang still ignored her. He had lived in Jiuzhou for a period of time, left behind a legacy, and also accepted an apprentice, but to him, that was just a passing cloud.
After he faked his death and returned to the outside world, everything here had nothing to do with him anymore.
He could naturally guess who the woman in front of him was.
But he didn't know what the relationship between Yuqing Sword Immortal and Jiang Lan was, so he could only pretend not to remember.
"Master, I know it's you, why don't you recognize me?"
Yuqing Sword Immortal's face gradually turned pale, and his voice was trembling.
"Who are you? I don't know you, don't make false accusations." Fu Daocang denied it quickly, as if he had just seen the Jade Green Sword Immortal.
Jiang Lan's expression was calm and indifferent, like a person from another world watching all this, detached from it all.
At the same time, he was also observing the changes in the mental power of the two people. No matter whether it was Fu Daocang or Yuqing Sword Immortal's emotional changes, he could not hide them from him.
From the initial surprise, excitement, surprise, and disbelief, to shock, unacceptability, and disappointment...
The fluctuations in his mind brought about by this series of emotional changes indeed transformed into several strands of pure mental power, just as he had imagined, and fell into different levels of the Sphere of Ambition.
On the other hand, Fu Daocang was in a state of fear and trembling the whole time, with an endless desire to survive in his heart, and he didn't dare to recognize Yuqing Sword Immortal at all.
Yuqing Sword Fairy couldn't believe that the person in front of her who was so timid and cowardly that he didn't even dare to recognize her was the master she had always been thinking about.
"I really recognized the wrong person..."
Finally, she laughed at herself and seemed to understand something.
Fu Daocang felt bitter. He didn't think he had done anything wrong. He just wanted to survive, that's all.
Jiang Lan waved his hand and Fu Daocang fell into coma.
In front of Yuqing Sword Immortal, he tore open a huge rift in time and space, revealing an endless and deep nothingness. On the other side seemed like an infinite and vast world. The auras of the two sides collided with each other, and there was a surge of chaotic energy, which was quite astonishing.
"In that case, I will send him back to his original world."
There was indeed no grudge between Fu Daocang and him, and Jiang Lan did not intend to kill him.
Jade Green Sword Immortal looked at Jiang Lan's unpredictable methods and nodded subconsciously, saying with a sad look, "He has indeed changed. He is no longer the master I knew."
But having said this, she still looked at Jiang Lan cautiously.
She didn't expect that Jiang Lan would actually bring Fu Daocang to see her.
When Jiang Lan threatened her with Fu Daocang, she had no choice but to accept it due to various realities.
Now it seems that Fu Daocang is no longer worth her doing this.
Jiang Lan didn't say anything else. He threw Fu Daocang casually and he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the huge rift in time and space.
He brought it here just to settle a cause and effect.
Yuqing Sword Fairy wanted to talk but stopped herself. She swallowed back the words she wanted to say. Then she thought of her disciple Su Qinghan and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She used Su Qinghan to deal with Jiang Lan.
Now it seems that Su Qinghan has become the lucky person in a daze.
After Jiang Lan settled the matter, he did not stay long.
However, because of some past favors, he still left some things for Yuqing Sword Immortal, including many classic records in the sword world and related sword scriptures.
Yuqing Sword Immortal stared at Jiang Lan in a daze as he disappeared, and remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Lan left the ruins of Dao Cang Sword Sect, then tore through the void and headed towards the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains west of Xiling Prefecture.
In this area, thick and ethereal fairy mist enveloped the sky and the earth, and towering mountains stood one after another, like a giant dragon crawling on the ground, stretching endlessly. The number of mountains was simply incalculable, and it seemed that there were hundreds of thousands of them.
Legend has it that this place was once a pure land of immortals. According to ancient inscriptions, there were immortals who appeared here and preached to the practitioners, explaining the true meaning of the Tao.
When the Lords of the Amitabha Realm, the Lord of the Infinite Realm and other realm masters attacked, the Lord of the Infinite Realm stretched out a big hand and almost sank the place. However, after several years of recuperation, the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains have restored their original landforms.
Following Jiang Lan's figure, he appeared silently outside the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains.
The fairy mist shrouding the Ten Thousand Fairy Mountains is dispersing, revealing layers of pavilions and towers deep inside.
However, it was dead silent, without any sound, as if it had been forgotten by the world in some corner, untainted by any worldly cause and effect.
He looked around and the deepest abyss covered with snow suddenly appeared.
A brilliant and bright sword light burst out from there and slashed towards him.
However, Jiang Lan just stood there without any resistance. The brilliant sword light was like snow encountering the scorching sun, and it instantly dissipated and turned into ashes.
"What does this mean?"
Jiang Lan spoke in a flat tone, then stretched out his big hand and grabbed towards the boundless abyss. Endless wind and snow rolled back, and the world seemed to fall into darkness.
In that place, the laws collided, chaotic energy spread, and a terrifying wave erupted.
A blurry and faint figure, leaning on a sword, appeared above the abyss, trying to block Jiang Lan's palm.
But the next moment, he trembled, and blood seemed to flow out from his mouth and nose. He flew out horizontally and fell into the abyss.
Jiang Lan put his hands behind his back and walked forward. In the blurred void, he walked directly into the abyss.
Different from the boundless darkness seen outside, there is actually another world inside. One can faintly see the stars falling from the sky, and there is a bronze palace hanging high in the void, emitting rays of light, magnificent and solemn, with sword intent lingering in the sky, like a supreme sword sanctuary.
"You've actually come this far."
The blurry and faint figure was a woman in a long palace dress, with her hair tied up in an ancient bun style and a beautiful and majestic face.
She revealed her true form outside the bronze palace, with blood at the corner of her mouth and furrowed brows, looking at Jiang Lan with wariness and shock.
"When you see the emperor, you don't bow, but instead use your sword to commit murder?"
"Do you want me to destroy the Hundred Thousand Immortal Mountains?"
Jiang Lan's tone was calm, but his eyes contained a pressure as vast as the mountains and seas. Just a glance made this piece of time and space turbulent, as if it was about to be torn apart.
The woman in the palace dress's face changed, her body trembled, and more blood flowed out of her mouth and nose.
"Young Master..."
At this moment, a cry of surprise sounded in this empty and boundless space.
In front of the bronze palace, a graceful woman suddenly flew out. She had black hair and a face as exquisite as a painting. It was Su Qinghan.
When Jiang Lan saw Su Qinghan, the majesty in his eyes faded slightly.
The woman in palace dress also sighed inwardly, suppressed all hostility, and said with a bow, "I am the last descendant of the Wanyang lineage, and I am honored to meet you, Master."
In ancient times, celestial beings in the middle stage of Nirvana were often called True Lords by the world. The Sword Master of the Sword Realm was also equivalent to the cultivation level of the middle stage of Nirvana, but the names were different in different worlds.
The woman in palace dress could obviously sense Jiang Lan's current level of cultivation, so she called him True Lord.
Jiang Lan didn't care about this. The woman in front of him was none other than the Empress Wanyang who was sleeping in the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains. In her heyday, she had the strength to rival the gods.
In the original plot, Su Qinghan was noticed by Empress Wanyang in the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains and was accepted as her apprentice because of the cause and effect relationship with Lin Fan.
However, the current Empress Wanyang has only recovered her cultivation to the supreme level, which is the early stage of Nirvana.
In front of Jiang Lan, she had no chance of competing at all.
"You are quite courageous. You knew I was coming, yet you still dared to draw your sword at me. If it weren't for Qinghan, you would have been destroyed by now." Jiang Lan said calmly.
Empress Wanyang's expression changed, but she did not refute.
Jiang Lan now does have the ability to wipe her out.
She was shocked. When she first knew Jiang Lan, his cultivation was only at the saint level.
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and he has grown to this point. It is simply an incredible thing like a fairy tale.
For a being like her, a deep sleep would easily last tens of thousands of years. To her, these few years were just a blink of an eye.
Jiang Lan no longer cared about Empress Wanyang.
He looked at Su Qinghan, who had been standing there in a daze, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, smiled slightly, and then stretched out his hands to signal.
"Young Master..."
"I'm so glad you're okay."
Su Qinghan looked at him blankly, tears suddenly flashed in her bright eyes, and then turned into a stream of light and threw herself into his arms, where she sobbed softly, her eyes wet with tears.
Jiang Lan stroked her back gently.
On the one hand, he came to the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains because of Su Qinghan, and on the other hand, it was also because there was a cause and effect relationship between Wan Yang's lineage and Lin Fan.
The founder of the Wanyang lineage was originally the realm master of a certain era in the sword world. Because he was too sharp, he offended the realm masters of the Infinite Holy Realm and other universes, and even killed the most beloved and respected offspring of the Infinite Realm Master.
In the end, he was besieged by the masters of various realms and died with hatred.
Originally, these grudges belonged to Lin Fan and the Lord of the Infinite Realm, but somehow, Jiang Lan plundered a lot of Lin Fan's fortune, and these causal grudges became related to him.
Beings such as the Lord of the Infinite Realm also had grievances with him.
Empress Wanyang was the last descendant of the Wanyang lineage, and Lin Fan, due to various reasons, accidentally inherited the Wanyang lineage in his previous life, which led to his rapid rise and the title of the Lord of the Eternal Sword.
After Su Qinghan came to the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, Empress Wanyang accepted him as her disciple based on this karma and favor.
Of course, this is the original plot trajectory.
Now the Empress Wanyang accepts Su Qinghan as her disciple, largely because she guessed that she knew the truth about Lin Fan's death and wanted to plan her revenge through Su Qinghan.
"The Infinite Holy Realm has fallen into eternal silence and decay. If the Lord of the Infinite Realm returns, I will settle accounts with him immediately. If you want revenge, the best way is to follow me, not to attack me."
While Jiang Lan was comforting Su Qinghan, he also understood Empress Wanyang's thoughts.
After all, Empress Wanyang is a genuine celestial being in this world. Although she comes from outside the world, the aura on her body has long been contaminated by the origin of this world and will not be rejected by the will of heaven and earth.
If it is subdued, it will be a formidable fighting force.
Empress Wanyang had no idea what was happening outside the world, and she had no idea how Jiang Lan had gotten to this point.
Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Lan pointed his finger and a beam of thought light sank into the center of her eyebrows.
Soon, Empress Wanyang understood what happened outside the world while she was in a daze.
"I see. I'm sorry for offending you just now. I hope you won't take offense."
Her eyes became complicated, she sighed softly, and bowed again.
The Infinite Holy Realm has actually declined and become silent forever. Even its origin has been plundered by Jiang Lan, and it has fallen to the level of the middle thousand worlds.
The Lord of the Infinite Realm disappeared without a trace.
This was something she had never dared to think about before, but now it was easily achieved by Jiang Lan.
Su Qinghan didn't know the deep meaning of the conversation between his current master, Empress Wanyang, and Jiang Lan.
She didn't even know about Jiang Lan's many experiences outside the world. For her now, it was enough that Jiang Lan was still alive.
During this period of time, she has been constantly pushing herself forward with the goal of revenge for Jiang Lan.
She was well aware of her own weakness, and that there might be no hope for revenge in this lifetime, but she always remembered that when she was a chess piece, unable to control her own life and death, it was Jiang Lan who suddenly appeared and pulled her out of those terrifying and huge whirlpools.
Be it the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Dao Cang Sword Sect, neither of them could be contended by her, the eldest daughter of the Su family in Yuyi City. She was powerless to change anything, and if she was not careful, she would be crushed to pieces.
Her beloved master, the Jade Green Sword Immortal, eventually used her to deal with and plot against Jiang Lan.
Even her parents and relatives in this world can abandon her at any time for their own interests.
Only Jiang Lan never did anything for her from beginning to end, and always stood behind her to help her.
