Chapter 327: Serving for 5,000 Years, Subduing the Soul, the Last Four Immortals Who Have Never Been Born
Empress Wanyang was not an ignorant person. She quickly apologized for her disrespect just now, and personally brought Jiang Lan into the bronze palace. She took out the precious spiritual tea that had been sealed in a jade jar and entertained him.
As for the grudges and entanglements related to Lin Fan, she naturally did not mention it again, pretending that she knew nothing about it.
Jiang Lan naturally would not make things difficult for Empress Wanyang.
The two then sat down and talked. There were many bookshelves in the bronze palace, filled with various sword scriptures and important classics left by Wan Yang's lineage.
Empress Wanyang fell into a state of sentimental reminiscence and talked about her experiences in the past.
The Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains were originally the ruins of the Wanyang lineage’s sect. When it was destroyed, it was moved away by Empress Wanyang with her supreme magical powers.
During the migration, they encountered attacks from enemies many times, and many disciples died tragically. In the end, only a small fragment of the huge sect site remained.
Fortunately, Empress Wanyang accidentally came across the rift between the two worlds. In the end, she tried her best to send the ruined sect site away, and has been sleeping here ever since.
Her father, the former Lord of Wanyang Realm, was extremely powerful. In terms of offensive power, he was ranked among the top three in the heavens.
The Wanyang lineage he founded is the number one school in the sword world. Only the one who once opened up the sword world can compete with it.
Empress Wanyang was filled with regret when talking about the glorious past. Unfortunately, it is all gone now.
Her father was attacked by many powerful enemies and died. The Wanyang lineage was also abolished and became a pariah, fleeing far away.
Su Qinghan, whose mood had finally calmed down, stood obediently beside Jiang Lan, occasionally pouring tea for him and rubbing his shoulders, always with a sweet smile on his face.
After learning about the blood feud of Wan Yang's lineage, Su Qinghan couldn't help but be stunned.
Although Empress Wanyang accepted Su Qinghan as her disciple with some selfish motives, she was also conscientious and taught Su Qinghan a lot of cultivation experience, and even passed on all of Wanyang's sword skills to her.
So Su Qinghan was still grateful to him.
"Master, the purpose you have always talked about is revenge?" Su Qinghan couldn't help but ask.
"The greatest enemy of Wan Yang's lineage is the Lord of the Infinite Realm. However, he is now missing, and the Infinite Saint Realm has fallen silent. Even if we want to avenge this, it will take a long time."
Empress Wanyang shook her head slightly, appearing very rational. She had no intention of leaving the realm and heading outside to investigate the whereabouts of the Lord of the Wuliang Realm.
Moreover, even if the Lord of the Infinite Realm encountered a calamity and his cultivation was no longer at its peak, she would not be able to contend with him now.
Having said that, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan naturally guessed what Empress Wanyang meant. With her strength, it would take a long time for her to take revenge.
It just so happened that there was hatred between him and the Lord of the Infinite Realm.
"If you want to kill your enemy yourself, I can naturally help you, but I have a condition..." Jiang Lan didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
He came here to subdue Empress Wanyang and have her come out to take charge of the Xiandao League.
In the near future, the land of Kyushu will probably undergo drastic changes, and many ancient powerful men will return.
The Xiandao League also needs a powerful person other than him to take charge.
"Please speak, Master."
Empress Wanyang actually knew it very well in her mind, but she still nodded slightly and asked, showing that she was all ears.
"Fellow Daoist, you have served me for five thousand years. After five thousand years, I will not interfere with your whereabouts. During this period, I will find out the whereabouts of the Lord of the Infinite Realm, capture him, and let you live or kill him." Jiang Lan said.
"Five thousand years..."
Empress Wanyang's expression changed slightly. Five thousand years may seem like a long time, but for someone like her, it was just the time for a period of seclusion and sleep.
She was actually a little surprised. She had expected Jiang Lan to make this request, but the five thousand years was indeed a little beyond her expectations.
Originally, she thought that Jiang Lan might propose 50,000 years or 500,000 years...
"Your Excellency seems very confident. Is five thousand years enough?" Empress Wanyang smiled and asked softly.
"That's enough." Jiang Lan said.
Five thousand years is enough time for him to plan everything.
"Since the True Lord trusts me so much, why not serve him for five thousand years?"
Empress Wanyang continued to smile and agreed very readily. Then, in front of Jiang Lan, she took the lead in making a great oath.
In the darkness, symbols of the great way flashed by and disappeared into the void.
Along with a rumbling sound, as if chaos was being born and dying, a majestic restraining force condensed in the avenue was born between heaven and earth.
Jiang Lan naturally would not play tricks, and immediately swore an oath in front of Empress Wanyang.
With the constraints of the Great Dao Oath, Empress Wanyang is obviously much more relaxed.
Su Qinghan naturally didn't want any conflict between his master and Jiang Lan. Seeing the two of them make a vow, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Jiang Lan mentioned to her about her former master, Yuqing Sword Immortal.
However, Su Qinghan had no intention of meeting him. In her opinion, the relationship between them had already ended.
Jiang Lan naturally didn't say anything else about this. He had already settled many grievances and the next thing was the most important thing.
Boom!!!
Half a day later, the sky shook and the earth trembled, billions of rays of light appeared, and tens of thousands of auspicious colors appeared. A brilliant golden road tore through the endless fog, rushed into the sky, came out from the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, and fell directly to the Immortal Alliance, alarming the entire land of Kyushu.
All the immortal sects and clans were shocked.
Empress Wanyang was born, and for the first time she came to the land of Jiuzhou in her true form. By her side, was Su Qinghan.
In the Xiandao League, Li Ran had already learned of Jiang Lan's message and understood that Empress Wanyang would be in charge of the Xiandao League, so he immediately led a group of senior officials to greet her.
When Empress Wanyang was at her peak, she was a true celestial being. Although she is no longer at her peak now, she still possesses means that far surpass those of the Great Sage.
With Empress Wanyang in charge, the Xiandao Alliance became more and more powerful, and the villains who were secretly ready to make a move also became silent.
Many tribes and immortal sects also began to speculate, thinking that the recent movements of the Immortal Dao Alliance might mean that Jiang Lan had returned.
Above the Chaos Golden List, that magnificent world became increasingly brilliant and splendid, its aura even more astonishing than those of the surrounding worlds, which made people think more.
However, despite such speculation, no news related to Jiang Lan has been released from either the Taiyi Sect or the Xiandao League.
Those who have deep ties with Jiang Lan are also very secretive about this matter and are unwilling to talk about it.
After leaving the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, Jiang Lan did not choose to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He suppressed all his breath and fluctuations, returned to his original nature, and as an ordinary person, used his feet to measure and feel the boundless land beneath his feet, and to understand the mundane world and all kinds of living beings.
He was perfecting the Tower of Aspiration, understanding and observing the seven emotions and six desires of all living beings, and understanding the secrets and essence of the mind.
Jiang Lan first went along the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains and headed towards the nearby Xiling Prefecture. This was a vast primitive jungle that was shrouded in mist and miasma all year round. It was mainly inhabited by tribal families, and there were rarely any cities.
The forest was full of miasma, snakes and insects, and the passing caravans seldom encountered them. However, Jiang Lan did see quite a few families who were proficient in the art of witchcraft.
Relying on the art of witchcraft, even some Taoist sects may not be able to gain an advantage over these families.
Apart from the major witchcraft families, the most numerous in Xiling Province are the barbaric tribes.
Unlike the barbarians, most of the wild tribes in Xiling Province are human. However, they are different from the humans in other large states. Their intelligence is not civilized, as if they are still stuck in many eras ago.
Jiang Lan walked through the tribes, observing and understanding the rising power of thoughts as a bystander.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Sometimes he stopped on the precipitous cliffs, sometimes he looked back and pondered beside the deep forests and mountain streams. The intricate power of his thoughts swirled around him in a way that ordinary people could not see or feel.
Above Jiang Lan's head, the shadow of the Tower of Aspirations appeared. The gathered power of thoughts was condensed by the Tower of Aspirations, transformed into different essences, and flowed into different layers of the tower.
Each layer blooms with different colors and lights.
Born, babbling, newlyweds, toddling, buried in a coffin...
Jiang Lan stopped beside each living being, in a place where they could not notice, watching the stages that all living beings in the world went through, and suddenly he was unaware of the passage of time around him.
At the same time, he was also feeling the land beneath his feet, and seemed to be able to clearly hear all kinds of thoughts and endless messages coming from it, and even the gurgling sound of blood flowing in his veins.
Later on, Jiang Lan was doing a thousand things at once.
He differentiated into countless thoughts, which swept through every inch of land like a long wind. Each thought was attached to a living being, capturing its emotional changes at every moment and every breath.
In an instant, endless emotional fluctuations, as if to distort time and space and tamper with the laws of nature, suddenly hit Jiang Lan's heart.
Any living being or cultivator who encounters this kind of impact will definitely become confused and fall into a coma, or even be unable to bear it and their sea of consciousness may explode on the spot.
But Jiang Lan simply used the Tower of Aspiration to gently suppress it, and all the emotional fluctuations and endless power of his mind seemed to sink into the deep sea, no longer causing any ripples or waves.
These endless fluctuations of thoughts and emotions turned into nutrients for the fruit of the heart, while also helping Jiang Lan to hone his own state of mind.
"The cultivation of the power of the mind is the process of conquering the soul. Man can conquer nature. If even the soul can be conquered, then conquering the will of heaven will be even easier."
The power contained in the Dao Fruit of the Heart far exceeds the Dao Fruit of Life and the Dao Fruit of Age. In Jiang Lan's view, it is more like a key to open a door to the unknown.
Once this unknown door is opened, endless treasures will be revealed.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.
Jiang Lan started from Xiling Prefecture and headed eastward, passing through every piece of land in Jiuzhou. From the beginning, he was focused on many things, and then he differentiated hundreds of millions of thoughts and ideas, attached himself to the creatures in Jiuzhou, absorbing their endless power of thoughts, and finally made the thirteen floors of the Tower of Aspirations emit a bright light.
The exterior of the Tower of Ambition was still holy and brilliant, but infinite emotional fluctuations in the world were emanating from it, and even the fate of time and space seemed to be distorted and interfered with.
With a loud bang, Jiang Lan completed the ritual of refining the Tower of Aspirations and placed it inside the middle thousand sphere, alongside the Golden Tripod of Luck, operating together.
At every moment, all kinds of complex emotions and mental powers surge in from different realms, and even break through the barriers and gather from outside the heavens.
Blurred faces of people were floating around the Aspiration Tower. They looked extremely strange, some were angry, some were happy, some were sad, and some were sorrowful...
As the Tower of Aspiration glows actively, it continuously draws on the power of thoughts from all over the heavens and all realms. The pure power that emerges in return is even more astonishing and overwhelming.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the vast and pure power gathers there like a river, constantly rushing towards the interior of the middle thousand spheres, completing every inch of space.
At this moment, even if Jiang Lan didn't need to perfect it himself, with the suppression of the Tower of Aspiration, the pure power like rivers and seas was already constantly sorting out and perfecting the middle thousand spheres.
The prototype of the new heaven is becoming more solid and complete.
While Jiang Lan was measuring and feeling this land, he never stopped perfecting the new heaven.
He had other ideas in his mind. He planned to use the land beneath his feet as a prototype to establish a new heaven based on the foundation of the ancient heaven.
In the process, he also gained a lot and made great discoveries.
Afterwards, Jiang Lan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion again.
Several months ago, he had already received news from Gu Luoyan and Xi Biyue.
They have explained to Lu Chenyu the origins of the Four Immortals, and also made Lu Chenyu accept her identity as the reincarnation of the Four Immortals.
Now the four fairies have been reincarnated, except for the shy flower, which has not yet been born.
The seal of the Queen of Heaven contained in the four immortals is of vital importance and must not be taken lightly.
This will be the key to unlock the ancient secret treasure left by the Queen of Heaven.
It is very likely that there are backup plans or wills left by the Queen Mother.
"The last of the Four Immortals..."
Jiang Lan made a brief deduction and realized that the time was almost right, so he set off with the women.
However, on his way to the place where the last of the Four Immortals was, he first went to Nie Er Kingdom in the North Sea.
Because in his deduction, the last of the four immortals is actually Shi Tian’s destined lover, and is also the person conceived by the other piece of Sky-Repairing Stone.
In Nie Er Kingdom, Jiang Lan quickly determined where Nie Zhaoyi was. He brought a few girls with him and explained their purpose directly.
With the help of his five-colored soil, Nie Zhaoyi looked much better. He had always been feeling resentful for not helping Jiang Lan find the soil of rest, so he wanted to go with him this time.
At the same time, she also wanted to meet Shi Tian’s destined love.
Coincidentally, in Jiang Lan's perception, Shi Tian is no longer in the North Sea.
There seemed to be a thread of fate that tied him and his destined love together. Even if they were far apart, they would eventually meet through various coincidences or accidents.
