Chapter 286: Heavenly Emperor's Seal, One Step Away from the Saint Realm, Left and Right
There was a loud bang and the earth broke into pieces. Ying Zhao was furious and struggled to stand up.
But Jiang Lan obviously would not let him have his way. Divine light shone on his feet, accompanied by a chaotic power. It was as if a hundred thousand sacred mountains had fallen, crushing "Zhou Yuan" so much that he couldn't even lift his head, with blood gushing out of his mouth and nose.
"I am the future Emperor of Heaven. Since the God Yingzhao is here, why don't you bow to me?" Jiang Lan looked down at him.
"Those who steal luck should be killed. You are just a petty thief who stole the luck of the Heavenly Emperor. How dare you call yourself the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Sooner or later, the Lord Emperor of Heaven will return, reign over the universe once again, rule the heavens, and rebuild the Heavenly Palace."
Ying Zhaoyi's voice was angry and low, like a volcano about to erupt, and the vast magic power in his body began to revive and surge.
After all, he is not comparable to Zhou Yuan. As a true Yingzhao, no one is more familiar with his own strength than him.
"It seems that you know something?"
"However, the Heavenly Emperor has never been just one person. The Heavenly Emperor of the past has long since died. I am the Heavenly Emperor of the future."
Jiang Lan's eyes showed strangeness, but he showed no mercy and crushed his head with a bang.
However, Ying Zhao's will was very strong, and his life force was surging. His broken head healed in the blink of an eye, but it was covered in blood and looked very miserable.
"You underestimate the power of the Lord of Heaven. The Lord of Heaven is omnipotent, omniscient, and knows everything. In the past, present, and future, there is only one Lord of Heaven. It is impossible for him to be you."
Ying Zhaoyi smiled indifferently, as if he had seen the situation clearly. He was no longer angry because his head was stepped on by Jiang Lan, and he even calmed down a little.
As a god who once presided over the gate of heaven, at the peak of his power, even if the lord of a universe wanted to enter heaven and meet the immortals, he had to be polite and respectful to them, not daring to neglect or despise them, and even had to offer them precious treasures and beauties.
Jiang Lan is not even a saint now, but he can humiliate him like this. It is simply like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog.
"It's just a remnant of will, but it's still so arrogant. You, the so-called god, really have no sense at all."
"Times have changed. Even if the omnipotent Heavenly Emperor of the past who you mentioned returns, he will be trampled under my feet just like you."
Jiang Lan said casually, not wanting to waste too much time. He raised his hand and grabbed, and "Zhou Yuan" immediately flew towards him uncontrollably.
Wisps of blood light spread out from the spiritual sea in his abdomen. The Blood Evil Orb once again floated high in the sky, continuously spewing out the blood evil aura of all spirits.
But soon, he discovered something unusual. Layer after layer of golden light flashed and spread, like the texture of heaven and earth, spreading throughout Zhou Yuan's limbs and bones, preventing his qi, blood and energy from dissipating.
"I am a god, with the Heavenly Emperor's seal bestowed upon me by the Lord Heavenly Emperor. It protects my true spirit from extinction and from falling into reincarnation. Your method comes from a realm master. If you want to shake my origin, you are far from it."
Ying Zhaoyi smiled indifferently.
Different from the other four divine beasts in the Sifang star field whose forms and souls have been destroyed, he was conceived and born from the remains of Ying Zhao. He can be said to be the second life of the former god Ying Zhao.
His current willpower is not even one-tenth of what it was at its peak, but it has awakened the Heavenly Emperor's seal contained in the remains to protect himself.
This is something Zhou Yuan could never do when his will controlled his body.
"The Heavenly Emperor's Seal?"
Jiang Lan suddenly laughed. He was thinking about how to carry the cause and effect in the name of the Emperor of Heaven after rebuilding the four portals to the Heavenly Palace. The Emperor of Heaven's Seal came at a good time.
I really want to sleep when I come to the pillow.
After all, Yingzhao, Luwu, Chongming and Gouchen were gods appointed by the Emperor of the ancient heaven. Now he is going back to his old ways and wants to gain resonance from the great way and recognition from heaven and earth, so naturally he needs some items left behind by the old Emperor.
Originally he was thinking about the Jade Emperor's Ring, but he thought that after using this item, it might be damaged in the cause and effect, which would affect his later search for the Jade Emperor's Palace.
"why are you laughing?"
Ying Zhaoyi asked in a low voice, and suddenly he felt that Jiang Lan's gaze became a little puzzled.
Jiang Lan ignored him. His mind moved slightly. Inside the deep Niwan Palace, the mysterious ancient vine trembled and the leaves made rustling sounds. Mysterious and profound patterns were interwoven on each leaf, as if representing the three thousand great ways. There was a grand echo stirring.
The next moment, one of the new leaves glowed, wrapped in the luck that was gathering from all around, and suddenly flew out from between Jiang Lan's eyebrows.
The leaves were emerald green and crystal clear, shrouded in mist, with clear and natural veins. They emitted a chaotic light and then fell onto "Zhou Yuan".
Jiang Lan directly regarded Ying Zhao's will as a dead thing like "relic inheritance" and urged the power of luck to revive the leaves on the mysterious ancient vine and forcibly absorb them.
In fact, such a thing had happened before in the Zixia Secret Realm, but at that time the mysterious ancient vine revived automatically and absorbed the luck and the Four Spirits Ancient Heavenly Skill inheritance left on the ancient stone wall.
Now he treats Yingzhao's will as a "dead object", so naturally there is no problem.
"What is this?"
Ying Zhao's will tried to struggle through Zhou Yuan's body, but the green leaf looked misty and light, but it was actually extremely heavy and fell directly on his forehead. Wisps of air flow turned into a vast expanse and were constantly absorbed by him.
The golden sacred lines in its body also dissipated and blurred, turning into golden lights that flew out, to be absorbed by the green leaf and turned into some kind of nutrients.
"impossible……"
Ying Zhao's voice was no longer as calm as before, it became a little frightened and trembling. Then he seemed to have thought of something, and he struggled even harder, with fear in his eyes.
As a god, there are not many things in this world that can make him feel afraid.
"Could it be that thing..."
"That thing appeared again, it's impossible..."
His voice was trembling, full of fear and disbelief.
Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the god Ying Zhao seemed to know something about the origin of the mysterious ancient vine.
He thought of the strange scene he saw when he broke through the eighth realm and overcame the heavenly tribulation. At that time, the light of the tribulation dissipated, and there was a sudden scene upstream of the river that gave birth to the two mother trees of life and all things.
At the end of the mysterious river, a colorful strange stone stood there quietly, and on the stone, a hazy light was scattered, and the green branches and leaves were trembling, rooted in an ancient vine that was exactly the same as the one in his Niwan Palace.
The difference was that the ancient vine he saw at that time had no fruit and no branches or leaves. Instead, it was not green and seemed to be dying.
Boom!!!
Jiang Lan suddenly grabbed "Zhou Yuan".
A purple halo grew brighter in his eyes, and the little soul figure opened his eyes in the soul palace at the same time. The strange soul power spread out, trying to penetrate into the deep level of Ying Zhao's will and glimpse the secrets he knew.
But suddenly, the calamity light that appeared at that time appeared again, and it appeared in the deep level of Ying Zhao's will.
The light was too bright, covering the sky and drowning everything, as if it was shining from the end of the long river of time, bringing with it an unprecedented sense of oppression.
"ah……"
Yingzhao's will cried out in pain, unable to bear it any longer, and began to collapse.
Jiang Lan frowned and had to withdraw his consciousness.
"It actually involves the so-called taboo. Is it because of the aura on me, or is it because I carry the aura of the mysterious ancient vine?"
"What is this guy afraid of?"
Jiang Lan looked at "Zhou Yuan" whose expression had become dazed. Things were a little beyond his expectations.
After a moment, "Zhou Yuan", who had a dazed expression, stood up, and his eyes gradually became lively. He stood respectfully aside, but there was a flash of blood in the depths of his pupils occasionally, and he did not look like a real person.
Jiang Lan raised his hand and Zhou Yuan in front of him suddenly exploded with a bang, turning into a blood mist that filled the sky. It swirled around and condensed into the All-Spirit Blood Evil Orb.
And that leaf also underwent a strange change, as if it had transformed into a heroic and handsome beast, surrounded by the aura of wind and thunder, and the void was crackling with thunder.
A seal that looked like a golden divine seal was floating up and down there. It was heavy and vast, exuding majesty, like a king who ruled the heavens.
Jiang Lan took it back into the Niwan Palace, then with a flash of his figure, he left the asteroid and returned to the ancient Mantuo Star.
Murong Qiutang was waiting for him in the courtyard.
"Did something happen outside the domain just now?"
Seeing Jiang Lan's figure falling from the void, she asked worriedly, feeling that there was a terrible and shocking wave erupting there just now, which seemed to have reached the level of a saint.
"It's over."
Jiang Lan casually replied, telling her not to worry.
Now the affairs of the Four Directions Star Region have been almost settled, except for the Luwu Spirit in Luwu Mountain.
Three days later, in Jiang Lan's small world, there was a mountain-shaking and earth-shaking sound, and a rumbling sound was heard. A majestic and towering sacred gate of heaven rose from the ground and reached the sky. The heroic shadow of Ying Zhao could be seen condensing, spreading his wings, standing in the sky, full of majesty.
Little Chongming, who was condensing the essence of the sun, was also startled. He flapped his wings, and flew over with a blazing glow all over his body. It was as if the sun was really on parade, the temperature was so high that even the void was blurred.
“Is this Ying Zhao’s aura?”
Xiao Chongming was very surprised.
"The prototype of Dongtianmen is complete..."
Jiang Lan appeared in the small world, looked at this scene, and nodded with satisfaction. In the ancient heaven period, Ying Zhao was responsible for guarding the West Heaven Gate, and now he has handed over the West Heaven Gate to Gou Chen Xuying, and Ying Zhao is responsible for the East Heaven Gate.
After a moment, he felt the change in his own aura. In addition to the surge of luck, the sky above the Jie Bridge was foggy and filled with the breath of chaos. The three flowers condensed and the five energies gathered.
Without any surprises or disturbances, his spirit, will, magic power and Taoism all broke through naturally and transformed to another level.
The heavenly calamity descended, vast and mighty, like a sea of thunder and lightning, bombarding continuously. Jiang Lan was calm and composed, his clothes were spotless, his flesh and blood were crystal clear, his bones were flawless, and his internal organs and limbs were filled with a chaotic aura of light and mist.
Three hours later, the sky was clear, cloudless and sunny.
"Breaking through three calamities in a row..."
Jiang Lan stood under the starry sky, quietly feeling the changes in his cultivation strength. He was at the eighth step of the Jieqiao Realm. Now, regardless of his combat power and means, in terms of cultivation alone, he had already caught up with his father's generation.
It is only one step away from the holy realm.
For him, every step of transformation is bringing about tremendous changes in strength.
If he were to deal with Mingzu of Chongming Valley back then, he could kill him with just one hand without any effort.
"He has made another breakthrough..."
On a high mountain in the ancient star Mantuo, Luo Guyun looked at the vast lightning outside the star field with a pale face. He carried a bag with him, looking like he was going far away.
Finally, he looked back in the direction of Gusu City, and turned around resolutely, choosing to leave.
If he continued to stay in Gusu City, he felt that he would be stimulated to the point of going crazy.
The tribe’s great revenge has not yet been taken, and he could not even keep the woman he admired. He could only listen to the sound of her and other men making love.
But now, Jiang Lan, whom he had always envied, had made further progress in his cultivation and was getting closer and closer to the realm of a saint.
Such a terrifying speed of cultivation made Luo Guyun tremble. The most terrifying thing was Jiang Lan’s true strength, which was far beyond his apparent cultivation level.
"Are you planning to go far away?"
"But staying in Mantuo Ancient Star all the time is not in line with the behavior of the Son of Fortune."
In the star field, Jiang Lan withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention.
Before the secret treasure of the Shi clan was revealed, Luo Guyun was just a treasure-hunting rat to him. Apart from that, there was nothing else on this guy that he cared about.
As for his golden finger, Jiang Lan was not very interested in it. Over the years, Luo Guyun had not been able to reach a shocking and invincible level with the golden finger.
This means that this thing is of little help to Jiang Lan.
"Young Alliance Leader, Luwu Mountain can no longer hold on. It seems that it is planning to hand over Luwu's soul and seek peace with Yingzhao Dojo. The territories of Kaiming Star Territory have been occupied. Many elders of Luwu Mountain have fled. Even Elder Murong Yanqing of the Murong family who was practicing in Luwu Mountain was placed under house arrest by Luwu Mountain and is unable to communicate with the clan."
After Jiang Lan returned to the ancient star Mantuo, a number of ancient warships had been prepared on the spacious plains, ready to set off at any time to the Yingzhao star field to "mediate" the fight.
Several masters of the Xiandao League came forward and reported to him the recent situation.
"It seems that Luwushan is even more stupid than I expected..."
"If you dare to do this, it means you will completely offend me. Sure enough, the world changed drastically, and Lu Wu's soul, which had been sleeping for a long time, also revived." Jiang Lan smiled.
He hasn't paid attention to the situation in Luwu Mountain for several days.
But all this was still within his expectations.
"Lu Wushan is determined to go all the way..." Murong Qiutang couldn't help but shake his head when he learned about this.
She originally thought that Lu Wushan would eventually give in and ask Jiang Lan for mercy.
However, Luwushan would rather seek peace with Yingzhao Dojo than hand over Luwu's soul to him.
This left her at a loss for words.
"It doesn't matter. Since Luwushan is willing to quell the unrest in Yingzhao Star Domain and Kaiming Star Domain and restore peace, no matter what they do, our Xiandao League should strongly support them." Jiang Lan waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing this, many powerful people from the Xiandao League also echoed it.
This is the truth. The Xiandao Alliance needs to establish its authority, so naturally it cannot do anything that involves robbery or plunder.
But Jiang Lan had already said that Lu Wu's soul would be of great use to him, and Lu Wushan still insisted on handing it over to Yingzhao Dojo. Wasn't this obviously a deliberate and malicious attempt to offend Jiang Lan? They had already anticipated that even if Lu Wushan quelled the war, the days ahead would not be easy.
Jiang Lan really didn't care much about it. To him now, Lu Wushan's initiative to hand over Lu Wu's soul was just like transferring money from one hand to the other.
Moreover, with Luoying Zhao in the hands of the Taoist priest, he could save himself a lot of effort.
Soon, billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky, and one ancient warship after another took off into the sky, leaving the ancient star of Mantuo and disappearing into the starry sky, speeding away. The flags of the Immortal Alliance fluttered and rustled.
Murong Qiutang did not follow Jiang Lan, but stayed on the Mantuo Ancient Star. Jiang Lan had promised her that once this matter was resolved, he would support her in unifying the Kaiming Star Domain.
During this time, she also has to start preparing to coordinate the various ethnic groups on the ancient star Mantuo and the other sects in the surrounding small star regions.
At the same time, in the Yingzhao Dojo, in a side hall.
"How come it's been so long, Imperial Master, and he hasn't come back yet? Did something unexpected happen?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Logically, you should give me a reply."
Qi Qingxuan frowned and paced back and forth in the hall, looking uneasy.
"Don't worry, Third Master. The Imperial Master's ability in divination and deduction is unrivaled in the world. How could he be in danger? It could be that something unexpected happened and he can't come back for the time being."
"Third Master, please be patient. The ancient ancestor of the Yingzhao Taoist temple went with the national teacher, but he still hasn't come back, right? The people in the Yingzhao Taoist temple are not in a hurry." Beside him, Wei Gong, the former eunuch chief of Daxia, comforted him.
"I am indeed a little uneasy. Even the demon god has stopped moving. I really don't know what he is doing..."
Qi Qingxuan still frowned, and then looked at Shang Mingyu who was resting with her eyes closed on a cushion in the hall, and said, "Ms. Mingyu, what is the result of your deduction with the Aspiration Ball?"
Shang Mingyu opened her eyes upon hearing this, shook her head slightly, and said, "I can't deduce anything. My cultivation is still shallow, and I can't bring out the power of the Aspiration Ball."
Qi Qingxuan's face was gloomy and he looked at Shang Mingyu deeply, wondering if she really couldn't help or if she did it on purpose.
However, on the surface he still didn't say much, but just continued to look outside the hall with worry.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, accompanied by the surprised voices of several elders from Yingzhao Dojo, "The Ancient Ancestor has returned..."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Qingxuan's face showed joy, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then strode out of the hall to greet them.
In his opinion, Zhou Yuan and the national teacher Shang Yuanji set out together, and they should have returned together.
However, not long after stepping out of the hall, Qi Qingxuan was startled when he saw Zhou Yuan's torn robes and blood-stained body not far away, and he was unable to react.
"Catch these people from Daxia for me."
Then Zhou Yuan's cold voice, seemingly devoid of any emotion, sounded, causing Qi Qingxuan's head to buzz and go blank.
