Chapter 235: The situation is frozen. Invincible under the Saint, don’t you want your husband to be surrounded by beautiful women?
“The Demon Saint is dead, and a major earthquake is about to occur in Dongyuan Prefecture…”
"The various sects in Dongyuan Prefecture have joined forces to stop Taiyi Sect's Saint Jiang Lan from transcending the tribulation. This matter will be settled by Taiyi Sect. Now all ethnic groups and forces in Dongyuan Prefecture are in danger."
"Without the Demon Saint, Dongyuanzhou will have to be controlled by Taiyi Sect. Haven't you seen that many sects in Zhongtianzhou have been destroyed in the past few days?"
"Yes, even the Yijian Sect and the Daowen Ancient Sect were disbanded. The ancient immortal sect that existed for thousands of years collapsed overnight. This is the result of standing on the wrong side."
"Alas, I heard that Taiyi Sect will unite various immortal sects to establish the Immortal Dao Alliance. Saint Li Ran will be the first leader of the alliance and preside over the overall situation. I just don't know if it will be good for us casual cultivators."
"Forget about it. How can we, low-level cultivators, possibly benefit from this? This Immortal Dao Alliance was probably formed to annex Dongyuan Prefecture."
Three full days have passed since the shocking melee outside the Great Xia capital ended, but the various consequences that followed are still fermenting, and the various sensations it caused are still triggering heated discussions and reactions in all directions.
At this time in Zhongtianzhou, in a small town, in a pub by the window, several wandering scholars were sitting together, drinking and chatting about the various major events that had happened recently.
A young man in a white robe sat here quietly, with some snacks in front of him. He listened to the various discussions coming from all around him, his face calm.
In front of him, there were several men who were dressed casually, like casual cultivators.
"The Demon Saint is actually dead..."
"This is something I never expected. I felt something was wrong at the time and warned him, but he refused to listen and insisted on taking action."
"Li Sheng of Taiyi Sect is even more ruthless and ambitious than the original founder of Taiyi Sect. However, Jiang Lan is definitely not a pushover either. Using his own body as an example to seduce others is not something that everyone can do."
The young man in white robe took a sip of wine, his face was dull, but there was a hint of helplessness in the depths of his eyes.
Once the Demon Saint dies, Dongyuan Province will inevitably be in chaos. Now, even without the Taiyi Sect taking action, Dongyuan Province is already in civil strife.
Without the ancient Emperor Zhenwu in charge, the Zhenwu Kingdom suffered attacks from various forces and suffered heavy losses, with many strongholds and mineral veins being robbed.
In this melee, other immortal sects and holy places, such as the Yinxu Holy Land, the Wangyue Ancient Sect, and the Chongming Demon Sect, suffered heavy losses as well. These days, they have been preparing to deal with the next attack from the Taiyi Sect. Everyone is in danger, and many elders and disciples have secretly taken away the sect's assets and fled.
He had foreseen what was going to happen next.
The Taiyi Sect is too powerful, so you can only avoid it, not confront it.
The strength of the woman in white who appeared in the battle this time was even more incredible. She had definitely reached the level of a saint.
Regardless of her position, judging from the ambiguous relationship between her and Jiang Lan, if a war breaks out, she will definitely stand on Jiang Lan's side.
In other words, Taiyi Sect already has two saint-level beings in charge.
Such a grand occasion is unprecedented and has never happened before.
Therefore, the Taiyi Sect took advantage of the situation and announced that it would establish the Immortal Alliance to coordinate all the immortal sects in the land of Jiuzhou.
This is the trend of heaven and earth, and no one can stop it. Places such as Xiling Prefecture, Nanhuang Prefecture, Nanmo Prefecture, and the North Sea can only choose to wait and see and dare not confront the Taiyi Sect.
"Jiang Lan has broken into the eighth realm. Judging from the power of this heavenly tribulation, it is probably difficult to find an opponent below the level of a saint."
"I have been hunting geese all my life, but I never thought that I would be pecked in the eye by a wild goose. Ye Ming must have been pushed out by him as a scapegoat and a scapegoat..."
The young man in white robe was Xue Wuchen. His eyes were gloomy, but he could only endure it and did not dare to settle the score with Jiang Lan.
He has kept a low profile in the past few days. He no longer blatantly sent people to Zhongtian Province to kill the geniuses with special physiques he needed as before.
The Blood Immortal Sect has no saint in charge, and when it was at its peak, it did not dare to compete with the current Taiyi Sect.
Not to mention that his cultivation has not recovered yet and he is currently only at the seventh level of strength.
This was when he was practicing the Blood Forbidden Codex and had been sending people to kill various geniuses, absorbing their essence and blood, and refining it for his own use.
He simply couldn't understand how Jiang Lan practiced and how he could be faster than him.
According to Xue Wuchen's own estimation, even if he condensed the Holy Spirit Embryo, it would take at least a year and a half to break into the eighth realm. This was also the case when he took into account the great changes in the world and various blessings and fortunes that would occur in the future.
If there were no great changes in heaven and earth, even if he was given three years, he might not be able to break into the eighth realm.
For ordinary cultivators, who doesn't rely on hundreds or thousands of years of accumulation to enter the Jieqiao realm?
Jiang Lan is simply a monster who cannot be judged by common sense, and even the classics dare not record him as such.
"Even if I don't offend him, I'm afraid he already knows of my existence."
"We shouldn't have let Song Youwei leave in Dongyuan Prefecture..." Xue Wuchen's expression was gloomy, but facing the current situation, he could only sigh in his heart.
Jiang Lan has become a powerful figure. It is impossible to deal with him with one's own strength alone.
"Only by maneuvering and uniting all parties can we have a glimmer of hope..." Xue Wuchen fell into deep thought and began to think about who he could unite with.
At the same time, in the imperial capital of Daxia, in the backyard of the imperial palace, there was a house with high walls, green tiles, and shaded by green willows, creating a very quiet environment.
Jiang Lan was wearing a plain white coat, sitting quietly on the bed. In front of her was a sandalwood tea table, teapot and other tea sets. The lingering tea fragrance filled the air, refreshing her heart.
His lower body was wrapped in a thick silk quilt, and there was a small stove lit next to him. The charcoal fire crackled and emitted warm heat.
Beside him, a refreshing breath lingered, accompanied by bursts of pleasant fragrance. Li Mengning sat cross-legged in silence, her long black hair flowing down to her waist. She clasped her slender and soft hands together, covering one of his hands. From time to time, she would stretch out one of her delicate little hands, warm it by the small stove, and then retract it, trying to bring the warmth to him, over and over again, without getting tired of it.
Jiang Lan had a head of black hair tied up simply and casually, his robe was as plain as snow, and his face was also plain, as if it had lost its color.
"It's going to snow soon. Winter has already arrived..."
He listened to the sound of snow falling outside the window and spoke softly.
"Are you cold..." Li Mengning asked in a low voice.
"I am now a powerful being in the eighth realm, how could I be cold?" Jiang Lan smiled.
"But your hands are very cold." Li Meng stared at him.
"That's because your hands are too warm..."
Jiang Lan had a gentle smile on his face. He stretched out his other hand and pinched her fair face full of collagen. Li Mengning shrank her head slightly, as if she was a little afraid of the cold.
"You have to cover this hand, too..."
Then, she quickly snatched his hand back and held it in her small, slender palm.
This room is not big, but it is filled with all kinds of pleasant fragrances, like a cluster of flowers, beautiful beyond words.
Seeing the intimate behavior between Li Mengning and Jiang Lan, someone soon snorted in dissatisfaction and led a few palace maids away.
"Is this the backlash of the failure of the last earth calamity?" Tan Tai Qing glanced at the departing Emperor Xia, his brows furrowed.
Since the battle ended that day, Jiang Lan fell into a coma after returning to the imperial capital and did not wake up until this morning.
During this period, Li Sheng also saw various imperial doctors of Da Xia, including Jiang Lan's old lover, Xiao Yingyue, the supreme elder of Medicine King Valley, who also came to see him, and they all believed that this was because of the backlash that Jiang Lan suffered when he was overcoming the last tribulation of the earth tribulation.
The current symptoms are not obvious, and he only shows chills and blood loss. You must know that this is simply an incredible thing for a cultivator in the eighth realm.
The powerful beings in the eight realms can burn mountains and boil seas with a wave of their hands and feet, and have all kinds of incredible powers.
The situation of fear of cold cannot be cured by any means unless it is caused by some kind of infection of the rules of heaven and earth...
"Everything always has to be paid for. Compared to this backlash, I think the gain this time is actually greater." Jiang Lan looked casual and at ease, and didn't seem to care much.
Tan Tai Qing stared at him closely, as if to confirm whether he was fooling people again, but even Li Sheng had checked it, so it shouldn't be fake.
"Anyway, you are already invincible under the Saints, why should I worry about you..." She also hoped that Jiang Lan would become the Supreme in the future, or even surpass the Supreme. In this way, her path to the Sainthood would be smoother.
"Invincible under the Saint?"
Jiang Lan smiled but did not comment on this statement.
Tan Tai Qing did not stay any longer. There were still many people here, and it was not convenient to say many things directly to Jiang Lan.
"Then Jiang Lan, you should have a good rest."
Ling Zhuyun, the saint of Yao Chi Sect, was also here. Her bright eyes paused on Li Mengning's face for a moment before she spoke softly, then followed Tan Tai Qing and left.
This time, many immortal sects from Dongyuan Prefecture came to stop the Taiyi Sect, and many forces also came to help the Taiyi Sect, including the Yaochi Sect, the Qingxu Sect, the Shengyi Sect, the Goddess Palace and other immortal sects.
After the formation of the Immortal Dao Alliance, the status and power of these Taoist sects will also rise.
Next, the immortal sect headed by Taiyi Sect will unite with Yaochi Sect, Qingxu Sect and other forces to recruit an army to march east and attack Dongyuan Prefecture.
As the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi Sect, Ling Zhuyun still has a lot of things to do.
"Three days still doesn't seem to be enough..."
After Ling Zhuyun and the other girls left, Jiang Lan shook his head slightly and sighed.
Hearing this, Li Mengning turned her head and glanced at him with some confusion.
"I mean, three days is not enough to quell the follow-up impact of this incident." Jiang Lan smiled and explained.
"You need to have a good rest..." Li Mengning nodded and reminded seriously.
"You are the one who should have a good rest. You are the only one who is acting like a fool, waiting for me to wake up by the bed without eating or drinking." Jiang Lan grabbed her two soft hands in his backhand.
"I am a monk and don't need to eat or drink..." Li Mengning explained seriously.
"Practitioners are also made of flesh and blood. They should rest when it's time." Jiang Lan said in a gentle voice.
Li Mengning nodded, but she thought of something and hesitated, and whispered, "Jiang Ruxian, she hasn't left yet..."
"I know that the problem between her and I can only be solved by her and me. No one else can interfere." Jiang Lan said.
He had always expected that Jiang Ruxian would appear when he was undergoing the tribulation.
Even if Jiang Ruxian was not there, the Demon Saint of Dongyuan Prefecture would be doomed to death if he dared to show up. Jiang Ruxian could only be said to be his last insurance when setting up this game.
In short, the current result is just as he expected. The Nine Provinces are unified and the world is at peace, at least on the surface.
After this incident, Da Xia's Hulong Mountain dared not show up anymore, and the other major states could only lie in wait.
The situation in Kyushu became clear and everything was under control.
Jiang Lan also successfully broke into the eighth realm and entered the ranks of the powerful. He could truly walk across the land of Kyushu with ease.
As for the failure in the last level of the Earth Tribulation, he actually did it on purpose. He saw the gains and losses involved very clearly.
If he cut off all causes and effects in the last calamity, it would mean that he intended to completely break up with Jiang Ruxian.
But this has never been Jiang Lan's original intention. He is not a good person. He seeks both luck and relationships. A sharp knife does not hurt when cutting flesh, but a blunt knife can cause excruciating pain.
“Once the eighth realm is achieved, the strength has indeed undergone a drastic change.”
"The Dao Fruit of Life, the Dao Fruit of Years, and the Dao Fruit of Realms have also absorbed many benefits."
"We will now have more confidence to plan our plans for the four star regions."
After Li Mengning left, Jiang Lan carefully sorted out the benefits he had gained this time. Not to mention the changes in his cultivation strength, the increase in luck alone was unimaginable before.
During this Eight Realms Heavenly Tribulation, his power and fame reached an unprecedented peak.
In such a great trend of heaven and earth, one can naturally gain more people's support and blessings of good fortune.
Not long after Li Mengning left, a figure appeared silently in the house.
Jiang Lan was adding coal to a small red clay stove when a figure came in, took the pliers from his hand, and slowly added pieces of coal into the stove. Feeling the warmth emanating from it, a faint smile appeared on his flawless and perfect face, which looked like fairy jade.
"Your fear of cold is probably caused by the rules of heaven and earth invading your body. If you can find the true essence of Yangyan and refine the Yangyan Qi within it, you should be able to use this part of the rules of heaven and earth for your own benefit." Jiang Ruxian stood quietly and spoke softly.
"It's just a small problem. It doesn't affect me much." Jiang Lan picked up the teapot and poured tea into the cup in front of him.
"Ever since I left Feixian Island, I wanted to find Mengze, because beside Mengze, there grows the Heart-Seeking Flower, which has nine petals and can reflect one's true heart..." Jiang Ruxian said softly.
"Did you find it?" Jiang Lan asked.
Jiang Ruxian shook her head and said, "No, I returned to the land of Jiuzhou. I thought you didn't want to see me, so I didn't come to see you."
Jiang Lan laughed and said, "In the end you came after all."
"I didn't know you and Li Ran set up this game..." Jiang Ruxian explained.
"There's actually not much point in saying this. You don't have to think that my failure in overcoming the earth tribulation is because of you, and you don't have to feel guilty about it."
"I really couldn't bring myself to do anything to you during the Earth Tribulation, because I never hated you at that time..." Jiang Lan waved his hand, then handed the cup of tea in front of him to her.
Jiang Ruxian did not take the tea, but just looked at him, her eyes trembling slightly, and then she pursed the corners of her lips gently.
"I understand." She said softly.
"I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. Although I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, this time you showed up to stop the demon saint and broke his weapon. It really helped me a lot."
"I will return this favor to you." Jiang Lan said calmly.
"Does it have to be so clear?" Jiang Ruxian asked.
"I don't like owing favors to others." Jiang Lan's eyes remained calm, without any ripples.
"All right……"
Jiang Ruxian did not expect that this incident would allow Jiang Lan and her to "put aside their past grudges" and reconcile.
Although she did not find the Heart-Searching Flower, after experiencing this earth calamity, she saw Jiang Lan's true intentions.
At least now Jiang Lan is not as disgusted and resistant to her as before.
"Have a good rest, I won't disturb you."
Jiang Ruxian left the room quietly and when she reappeared she was already in a bedroom not far away.
"Jiang Ruxian, what are you doing here?"
Emperor Xia was meditating on the bed, trying to calm his agitated mood.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall. Her phoenix eyes narrowed immediately, with a cold light flashing in them.
Jiang Ruxian stared at Emperor Xia. Although her eyes were calm, Emperor Xia couldn't help but feel nervous and alert when he thought of her power to shatter holy weapons.
"It seems that the method I left on you is still useful." Jiang Ruxian said calmly.
It would have been fine if she hadn't heard this. As soon as she heard this, Emperor Xia became immediately furious. She gritted her teeth and endless dragon energy gushed out and swirled around her, instantly hovering around her and floating up and down, like a real golden dragon protecting her body, appearing extremely mighty and domineering.
However, Jiang Ruxian suppressed her with just a look, making her unable to move. Even the Xia Yu sword beside her fell to the ground with a clang.
"What do you want to do to me?" Although Emperor Xia's momentum was suppressed, he looked at Jiang Ruxian coldly and refused to show weakness.
"Haven't you always wanted me to help you solve it?" Jiang Ruxian said lightly.
Emperor Xia said coldly, "This is the greatest humiliation I have ever experienced. Sooner or later, I will repay you for it in full."
"As you wish."
Jiang Ruxian's tone seemed very casual, and she didn't seem to care much.
Just by raising his hand and flicking it, Emperor Xia felt that the invisible chains on his body broke with a snap, as if turning into invisible powder, scattering and blending into the air.
After doing all this, Jiang Ruxian ignored Emperor Xia's surprised, puzzled and secretly angry look and walked out of the palace on her own.
"Jiang Ruxian, what do you mean?" Emperor Xia asked coldly.
"I can't possibly kill all the women around him. Rather than making him unhappy, it's better to be frank and direct."
"As the Emperor of Xia, you probably don't want your husband, who has just been married, to be surrounded by a bunch of beautiful girls, right?" The moment Jiang Ruxian stepped out of the palace, she seemed to smile faintly.
I have some card today, I need to sort it out later
