Chapter 271: The sons of luck appear frequently, stupidity strikes, the next path
In the main hall of Gou Chen Palace, when Murong Qiutang followed Xu Xin and others into it, they saw a young man of outstanding demeanor and otherworldly manner sitting there, teasing a divine bird with a bright red body and blazing, glowing feathers.
This divine bird was less than half a human's height, and its entire body was emitting strands of scorching light, burning the void into a blur.
Even from a distance, one could still feel the terrifying high temperature. Even a powerful being in the eighth realm wouldn't dare to touch it easily.
Murong Qiutang knew that this was the young Chongming bird that had hatched from the egg. She did not look at it for long, but instead bowed to Jiang Lan politely and decently.
Several elders of Luwu Mountain stared at the young Chongming bird with a burning gaze, almost without blinking.
Needless to say, you can tell how extraordinary the bloodline of this young Chongming bird is.
Unlike cultivators, once the Chongming young bird grows up, its strength will undergo a drastic change. It will probably not take long before it will have the strength to rival a saint.
The young Chongming birds at this stage are the easiest to subdue and recognize their master.
Chi...
Xiao Chongming seemed to know that these people were looking at him with some heat and greed, so he glanced at him with disdain, very human, then opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of hot air, covering several elders of Luwu Mountain.
"not good……"
The expressions of several elders from Luwu Mountain changed, and they used their magic weapons to fight back without thinking.
However, the magical weapon surrounded by rosy clouds and flowing runes, as soon as it flew into the air and touched the scorching airflow, it was ignited with a hissing sound, and was instantly engulfed by the flames, turning into ashes in mid-air.
"Master, these people are so weak..."
Little Chongming let out a clear and childish voice and flapped his feathers, looking very happy.
The faces of several elders of Luwu Mountain suddenly turned ugly. They had just met the young Chongming bird and were humiliated by it. However, they could only suppress their anger and dared not to flare up.
"Weakness is not a reason for you to humiliate others."
Jiang Lan reached out and patted Xiao Chongming on the head.
Little Chongming stretched out his wings, covered his head in a very humane manner, and said aggrievedly, "Master, these people don't look like good people. If you weren't here, they would probably want to take me away..."
Hearing this, several elders of Luwu Mountain felt a little embarrassed. They didn't expect that little Chongming was so wise.
Jiang Lan waved his hand, then reached out and stroked Xiao Chongming's feathers, saying, "What's Lu Wushan's intention? Just tell me, I don't have that much free time."
"Young Alliance Leader, this is what happened..."
The elders of Luwu Mountain looked at each other and were about to speak, but Murong Qiutang shook his head and sighed inwardly, then stepped forward and began to explain.
She no longer expected these elders of Luwu Mountain to do anything.
I'm afraid that what happened just now has made Jiang Lan no longer interested in listening to their nonsense.
Jiang Lan had actually asked Xu Xin to investigate the origins of these people from Luwu Mountain.
He seemed to be listening to Murong Qiutang's explanation, but in fact his mind was on the young man in brocade clothes who was deliberately lowering his head behind Murong Qiutang.
The world is undergoing great changes, luck is surging, and even the sons of luck are appearing frequently.
In this four-sided star field, there appeared Zhou Yuan, there appeared Su Xuanyi, and now there is such a guy with extraordinary luck.
As expected of a place adjacent to Kyushu, it is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
"Why did Luwushan make Yingzhao Dojo hate him so much that they were willing to fight to the death?"
"Before I came to the Four Directions Star Region, my Immortal Dao Alliance had already sent many strong men to mobilize, but as far as I know, Lu Wushan has no intention of stopping, and he didn't even meet with the strong men of my Immortal Dao Alliance."
Jiang Lan smiled and his eyes fell on Murong Qiutang.
The expressions of several elders of Luwu Mountain changed slightly. There was a quarrel between Yingzhao Dojo and Luwu Mountain.
They originally thought that Yingzhao Dojo was just looking for an excuse to blackmail them and would stop after getting the benefits, but who knew that Yingzhao Dojo had no intention of stopping at all.
This is a real fight to the death with Luwu Mountain, and they will not stop until they hand over Luwu's soul.
I did have the intention of looking down on the Immortal Dao Alliance before...
"It seems like there is something you can't tell me?"
"But this is not the attitude of begging."
Seeing that the few people were silent, Jiang Lan immediately waved his hand and was about to order them to leave.
"I wonder what the young leader plans to do to get us to help Luwu Mountain and make Yingzhao Dojo stop?"
"When the Immortal Dao Alliance was first established, wasn't it said that it was to mediate the conflicts between the various immortal sects? Right now, Yingzhao Daochang and Kaiming Star Domain are in chaos due to war. How many tribes and forces have been displaced and left their homes? And how many lives and cultivators have died in the war?"
"Lu Wushan's previous attitude was indeed wrong. We apologize for what happened before, but why is it so fussy, Young Alliance Leader? If the matter gets out, I'm afraid it will also damage the reputation of the Immortal Dao Alliance..."
Murong Qiutang was still thinking about the wording and had no idea that the elders of Luwu Mountain had already started arguing about this and even seemed to be lecturing Jiang Lan.
Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but think that something was wrong.
"Although I'm easy to talk to, it's not your turn to teach me how to do things..."
Jiang Lan was indeed a little surprised. In this day and age, there are still such stupid guys? He glanced over and flicked his sleeves, and a surge of power suddenly came over.
Several elders of Luwu Mountain were struck by lightning. Their bodies trembled and they flew out of the hall, spitting blood from their mouths.
Xu Xin and others shook their heads slightly. They had heard about Lu Wushan's high self-esteem, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. Today they finally experienced it.
Among the four star fields, Luwu Mountain is the only Taoist sect recognized by Luwu himself. It also has the longest heritage and believes that it is different from other Taoist sects.
However, due to various reasons, each generation is worse than the previous one.
Nowadays, it has become even more declining, and even its disciples are in a period of transition.
The previous generation descendant of Luwu Mountain was once defeated miserably in a competition among his peers in the Four Directions Star Fields, and was ranked in the top ten, defeated by an inner sect disciple from Chongming Valley.
For this reason, Luwushan was ridiculed by countless people.
In order to deal with this, Luwu Mountain deliberately raised the threshold for selecting disciples and successors, so that disciples were only recruited once every few hundred years.
Of course, only the top forces in the Four Star Fields understand this matter so clearly.
"Young Alliance Leader, please calm down..."
"What the elders mean is that they want to consider the overall situation and are willing to cease fire with Yingzhao Dojo even at a cost to avoid the loss of lives. This is definitely not to force the young leader."
Murong Qiutang no longer wanted to scold these idiots. She could only bite the bullet and try to make amends.
If the Immortal Dao League really doesn't care about this matter, then Luwu Mountain can only grit its teeth and fight to the death with Yingzhao Dojo. These old guys can't even understand such a simple truth...
Several elders of Luwu Mountain fell to the ground outside the hall and screamed in pain, their eyes full of hatred. They never expected that Jiang Lan would suddenly take action.
"I hate stupidity. After seeing these people, I understand why Luwu Mountain is declining."
Jiang Lan's tone towards Murong Qiutang was much softer.
"I'm sorry to have made the young leader laugh..."
Murong Qiutang smiled bitterly in her heart. She would rather not have these people following her. They were more likely to cause trouble than help.
However, Jiang Lan's tone still gave her a lot of hope.
"I always like to get straight to the point. I can offer to protect the other ancient stars of life in the Kaixing Star Domain from war, but I can't do that for Luwu Mountain."
Jiang Lan didn't want to waste too much time on this matter.
Even if he does whatever he wants now, no one will dare to say anything. In his opinion, it is more reasonable to take Luwu Mountain's Luwu spirit and protect Luwu Mountain from this disaster.
As for those old guys in Luwu Mountain, they wanted to take the moral high ground and make him work for nothing? This was no different from dreaming.
"I wonder what the young leader plans to do in order to be willing to help?"
Murong Qiutang actually knew it clearly in her heart.
She could only try her best to speak for Lu Wushan. If Jiang Lan still disagreed, she would have no choice but to sever ties with Lu Wushan as soon as possible and find a way out for her family.
"Luwu's spirit is of great use to me."
"Luwushan can't keep this thing anyway, so you might as well give it to me sooner or later." Jiang Lan said casually.
Murong Qiutang had expected this and was not surprised at all when she heard it, but she no longer had any say in the matter.
After hearing this, several elders from Luwu Mountain outside the palace endured the severe pain in their bodies and shouted angrily, "Don't even think about it."
"The Yingzhao Dojo wants us to hand over the soul of Saint Ancestor Luwu, so we will not compromise."
"As the young leader of the Immortal Dao League, you are just like the robbers who took over the Taoist temple with Na Yingzhao. Isn't this just taking advantage of the situation to rob..."
"Throw them all out of Gou Chen Palace."
Jiang Lan was too lazy to listen to their further nonsense. He directly gave instructions to Xu Xin in the hall, then got up and left with Xiao Chongming.
Xu Xin didn't say anything more and started to work on her own. Now the Gou Chen Palace relied on Jiang Lan and listened to Jiang Lan in everything.
Under such circumstances, Luwushan still couldn't distinguish the priorities of things, so it can only be said that he deserved to be destroyed.
After driving out several elders of Luwu Mountain, Xu Xin asked Murong Qiutang, who still remained in the hall, with a kind look on her face.
"Does Patriarch Murong have anything else to say?"
"I'm sorry that what happened today made Palace Master Xu laugh..."
Murong Qiutang smiled bitterly.
She was originally traveling with several elders from Luwu Mountain, but seeing this situation, she could only cut off ties with them and then report what happened today to Luwu Mountain behind her.
As for what Lu Wushan was going to do next, that was not something she needed to consider.
Originally, Lu Wushan sent her to contact Jiang Lan in order to please him, but after meeting him today, she found that Jiang Lan didn't seem to be very interested in her.
According to rumors, Jiang Lan is a playboy, promiscuous and has many beauties.
Although Murong Qiutang had been married before, she chose Luo Guyun's father in order to deal with the older generation of the clan and did not want to marry for the sake of the family.
But after marriage, she and Luo Guyun's father kept their distance and could only be regarded as "friends" who could get along well with each other, observing etiquette and treating each other with respect.
She was very confident in her appearance and charm, and she was a virgin, so she made some mental preparations before coming...
Today's situation made her feel relieved, but at the same time, she felt an indescribable sense of disappointment in her heart.
After returning to the residence arranged by Gou Chen Palace, Luo Guyun, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up and asked, "Aunt Qiu Tang, are you planning to return to Mantuo Star next?"
He remained silent in the hall, with his head down, worried that Jiang Lan would notice him.
But things didn't seem to be as bad as he worried about. Jiang Lan didn't seem to care about a "little guy" like him, and he thought he was just worrying too much.
"I can't interfere with the affairs of Luwu Mountain, but for the Murong family of Mantuo Star, this is an opportunity."
After much deliberation, Murong Qiutang decided to stay in Gou Chen Palace for a few more days.
Luo Guyun nodded, then planned to say goodbye and return to his own courtyard.
But before he left, Murong Qiutang seemed to have thought of something and asked him, "Guoyun, I know you are smart. What do you think of Young Alliance Leader Jiang Lan in the hall today?"
"What does Aunt Qiutang mean?" Luo Guyun was very surprised.
"Every aspect you see." Murong Qiutang said seriously.
"In terms of cultivation, it's hard to say. The eight-level elders of Luwu Mountain have no power to compete with him. They were knocked away with a wave of his sleeves. In terms of his conversation, we can't tell anything. After all, he doesn't take us seriously and seems to be very contemptuous..."
Luo Guyun considered his words, and at the same time, he was more and more surprised. Could it be that Murong Qiutang had other plans? He actually didn't want to have too much contact with Jiang Lan.
Murong Qiutang's attitude made him feel uncomfortable, as if she was actively trying to curry favor with others and get close to them.
When Jiang Lan was in the hall, his attitude seemed perfunctory and he didn't even look at him. The meaning was very clear.
"Aunt Qiutang, we can't get involved in the Luwu Mountain incident. In this case, why don't we go back to Mantuo Star to discuss the migration and evacuation, so as to avoid being affected by the war..." Luo Guyun suggested.
"You should go and rest first. The Murong family is large and has a lot of connections. It will take a while for them to decide to move. If it is not necessary, it is best for you to stay in the clan."
Murong Qiutang shook her head slightly. As the head of the family, she always put the interests of the family first, and at this moment she was thinking deeply.
At the same time, on the other side, Jiang Lan's figure flashed, and he appeared in the small world with little Chongming.
With the birth of little Chongming, the area he had designated before also underwent all kinds of miraculous changes. Fairy sounds echoed among the hidden fairy pavilions, as if the nine heavens had descended. Little Chongming spread his wings and flew over the majestic Tianmen, like a big sun hanging high in the sky, illuminating all directions.
"Next, you will stay here and absorb and condense the essence of the sun and the moon to perfect the prototype of the South Heaven Gate. Don't be lazy..."
"As the South Heaven Gate continues to improve and the heavens are reorganized, you will even gain fortunes and benefits that surpass those of your ancestors."
Jiang Lan left all kinds of elixirs, spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits and spiritual springs for Xiao Chongming here, enough for it to eat and grow on a daily basis, and then assigned tasks to it.
After all, little Chongming has just hatched from its shell not long ago. He still has some childish innocence and is quite playful. Letting it condense the essence of the sun and the moon here day and night and perfect its little world can help to settle its temperament.
Of course the most important reason is that it can help Jiang Lan's practice.
"Yes, Master."
Little Chongming landed from the sky, rubbed the back of Jiang Lan's hand affectionately, then spread his wings again, and like a rising sun, flew towards the Yunque Fairy Palace, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon between the towering fairy gates.
Strands of red glow were swallowed up by the small world from many deep planes of time and space, and then, after being refined by Xiao Chongming, they turned into the essence of the sun and the moon, constantly perfecting this small world.
This is a process of complementary symbiosis. Xiao Chongming can also temper his bloodline and strengthen himself.
I sensed that the small world was continuing to change on its original basis. The barriers were becoming thicker, and there were more chaotic material evolutions at the edges. The material structure within was also changing.
Although this process was slow, it never stopped, and Jiang Lan couldn't help but smile.
On the other side, the West Heaven Gate did not have such progress, but after all, there was the Gou Chen divine form condensed by Jiang Lan, which could also absorb the rich breath of the earth and also perfect the small world.
“Once the four heavenly gates are constructed, I will be able to completely assimilate the last ray of the origin of the universe. From then on, I will be able to successfully enter the ninth step of the eighth realm and begin to impact the ninth realm of Yuhua.”
With the existence of the Bounded Dao Fruit, Jiang Lan is not worried at all that the improvement of the small world will be slow.
At present, the foundation of his enlightenment is the power of all realms.
When he becomes a saint, he will be able to travel through the planes of time and space, absorb the power of chaos, find the land of rest, transform the foundation of the small world, and leap to the middle thousand worlds.
When that step is reached, the heaven and earth will undergo great changes, and the world will be in turmoil. He will be able to become a well-deserved overlord and have a great say.
