Chapter 315: Xuanhuang Realm Lord's Dojo, Breakthrough Opportunity, Xuanhuang Mother Qi Earth
More than a year has passed since the catastrophe of the heavens.
The land of Jiuzhou has undergone great changes, showing the heritage and majesty that an ancient heaven should have. Under the promotion of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Immortal Alliance, temples to the Emperor of Heaven have been established everywhere, with incense burning in full swing all day long.
The surging power of faith gathered above the Chaos Golden List, and every day one could see many monks and creatures coming here to pay their respects.
Every day you can see traces of that magnificent world being repaired and healed.
In the eyes of many people, that magnificent world represents Jiang Lan. When all the cracks are repaired, that will be the day when Jiang Lan returns.
This is hope, and many people are waiting and looking forward to it.
Outside the world, there is the vast world of Xuanhuang.
The news of the Lieyu Sect being looted attracted the attention of many sects and tribes in the surrounding star fields.
The other several giant forces adjacent to the Lieyu Sect were even more insecure and panicked everywhere.
However, Jiang Lan was focused on repairing the small world and had no intention of paying attention to all this.
The ancient warship sped away, passing through large tracts of star fields and ancient continents, and finally arrived at the star field where Dao Ji Sect was located.
After all, Ye Chanyi was a disciple of Dao Ji Sect. She had already informed the leader of the sect she previously belonged to of the news that Jiang Lan was coming to Dao Ji Sect.
Although Dao Ji Sect had suffered disasters and been looted, it was built on a Feng Shui treasure land with majestic mountains, beautiful islands suspended in the air, and spring pools emitting purple mist. It was still full of vitality.
Spiritual energy is rising and mist is lingering between the peaks. Compared with the outside world, it is still a rare paradise.
"Greetings, sir."
"Since you have condescended to come, Daoji Sect has already prepared a place for you to stay."
As the ancient warship sped over, in the depths of Dao Ji Sect, a figure had already arrived through the air and was waiting. He was wearing a white robe, had a clear and bright face, and had an immortal look.
During this period of time, Ye Chanyi, who had been recovering her cultivation strength, had bright and lively eyes.
She stood on the warship, recognized the person who came, and whispered, "The great elder of Daoji Sect is the strongest person except for the old Great Sage who died. He is only one step away from becoming a Great Sage..."
The Dao Ji Sect is not as powerful as the Lie Yu Sect and now appears to be in a state of desolation. Elders and disciples are rarely seen among the mountains and islands.
Many people, like Ye Chanyi before, have left Dao Ji Sect and returned to their families.
Ye Chanyi had already informed Dao Ji Zong of Jiang Lan's purpose, but she was still worried that Dao Ji Zong would be sensitive and do something disrespectful.
Judging from the current situation, Dao Ji Sect seems to no longer care and has given up on anything. The mountain gate is wide open and even the mountain protection formation has not been activated.
"I apologize for bothering you for a few days."
Jiang Lan's voice was very calm, coming from the jade, but he did not appear.
"You are too polite, sir. It is an honor for Daoji Sect to condescend to come here."
The great elder of Dao Ji Sect was very humble and respectful and did not say much.
He led the way, guiding the ancient warship across the sky, passing through the large mountain gate of Dao Ji Sect, and finally landed outside a cave with a very quiet environment, accompanied by green mountains and green lakes.
On the mountains along the way, many elders and disciples who had heard the news popped their heads out and looked at the scene from afar, with varying expressions of surprise or shock.
"Ye Chanyi actually got such a great fortune..."
Many disciples who were once of the same generation as Ye Chanyi were extremely surprised and envious.
The Grand Elder of Dao Ji Sect came to greet them personally and sternly warned many elders and disciples not to set foot in that area and affect the meditation of the mysterious master there.
For all the elders and disciples of Dao Ji Sect, that area has become a restricted area and is shrouded in a veil of mystery.
Many people have also learned that this mysterious existence looted the Lieyu Sect and almost emptied out the foundation, which made many people stunned and then gloat over their misfortune.
This is good. The Lieyu Sect will have to do the same as the Daoji Sect and rest and recuperate quietly and not make any more trouble.
In the first few days, many elders and disciples of Dao Ji Sect were still a little reserved and nervous, but later on, they gradually became familiar with it, relaxed and felt that this was a good thing.
After all, in this chaotic world, with such a mysterious and powerful person cultivating in Daoji Sect, who would dare to provoke him unless he was desperate? Invisibly, Daoji Sect also gained a guardian deity.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
"I have recovered to the seventh level of cultivation. This is too fast..."
In the cave, Ye Chanyi was filled with joy. There were many magical objects piled in front of her. The sky was filled with hazy light and the spiritual energy was almost liquefied.
In just half a year, she recovered from the third level to the seventh level.
Although it is still far from comparable to its heyday, this speed is already terrifying and she couldn't even dare to imagine it in the past.
Now she has sufficient resources and no shortage of skills, and can sometimes get guidance from a master like Jiang Lan. It is impossible for her not to make a breakthrough.
For his peers, this is the dream come true.
After a burst of joy, Ye Chanyi found that Jiang Lan ignored her and slowly calmed down.
She looked at the jade that had not moved for almost a month and muttered, "With so many resources, it should have been restored long ago. I wonder what they are doing..."
However, despite her complaints, she did not disturb Jiang Lan.
The interior of the cave was very bright, with moon pearls hanging high up, emitting soft light. It had a rosewood bed, a desk, a futon, an alchemy furnace, and everything you need. However, she usually used it alone, and Dao Ji Sect would not send anyone to disturb her.
Ye Chanyi almost forgot that she was still a disciple of Dao Ji Sect.
Occasionally, she would leave the cave and go out for a while. Wherever she went, whether disciples or elders, they were all polite to her.
Even the Grand Elder of Dao Ji Sect showed up in person and asked politely if there was anything they needed.
Just taking a quick walk around, her little vanity instantly exploded and she even felt a little elated.
Ye Chanyi sat on the stone bench with his chin propped up, lost in thought for a moment, then thought of something and rolled up his sleeves.
"I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that this mark has been getting hot lately."
"When I was in meditation, I always saw a vague and misty temple..."
"Could it really be left by the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm?"
She looked at the snow-white and delicate wrist with her dark brows furrowed. The dark marks on it became increasingly blurred, and it was almost impossible to make out the shape clearly.
Inside the jade stone, Jiang Lan heard Ye Chanyi's mumbling and looked over.
"If it was left by the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm, perhaps it really was her good fortune."
In half a year, Jiang Lan had sorted out all the cracks inside the small world and basically repaired them.
Now all that is missing is the most crucial Xitu, so that we can start transforming the small world into the middle thousand worlds.
However, Xitu is not easy to find. When he was in Jiuzhou, he asked Nie Zhaoyi to help him look for it.
Jiang Lan's plan is to determine the whereabouts of the other piece of Bu Tian Stone through Nie Zhaoyi, and thus determine the location of Xi Tu.
But it is now outside the boundary, so even if Nie Zhaoyi finds the whereabouts of Xitu, it will be difficult for Jiang Lan to get it.
"It is basically impossible for ordinary cultivators to leap to a higher world level. The resources and divine objects required to sublimate a small world into a middle thousand world are simply unimaginable. I have the previous accumulation, plus the condensed mind ball, from which I can refine and perfect the materials for the small world."
“Otherwise, even if the Great Sage does not eat or drink and concentrates for hundreds of thousands of years, he will never be able to make the small world leap to the level of the middle thousand worlds.”
“Unless you first break through the Nirvana Realm and achieve the Supreme, and then try to open up a world, and slowly nurture it during this period, then a complete middle thousand world can be born.”
Before this, Jiang Lan had melted his own free Dharma form and the small world into one, so that the saint could nurture the opened up small world. He had already mastered it when he was at the seventh realm of Dharma form.
Now if he wants to break through to the Nirvana state, there are two ways to go.
One is to follow the steps and slowly comprehend the rules of heaven and earth and the great principles, so as to find the door to Nirvana. When the understanding is sufficient, blast it open and break through in one fell swoop.
This is also the conventional route taken by all monks, but it requires a long enough time to comprehend and accumulate, and cannot be achieved overnight.
Of course, Jiang Lan obtained the bone fragments and flesh and blood that splashed out when the skull of the Lord of the Infinite Realm was pierced by the Sunset Bow. By comprehending the true meaning of his flesh and blood and analyzing the origin of his life, Jiang Lan also had a lot of understanding and grasp of the way forward.
At his current speed, if he practices and comprehends step by step, it will take at least ten years for him to open the door to Nirvana and enter the ranks of the Supreme Beings.
Moreover, this was because he swallowed the Fruit of Good Fortune and completed the incomplete parts of his body.
Generally speaking, if a great sage wants to open the door to Nirvana and achieve supremacy, it is basically impossible to succeed without accumulating experience for tens of thousands of years.
Even throughout history, those with extraordinary talent have had to spend thousands of years to develop their talents.
Ten years seemed too long to Jiang Lan, and he couldn't wait that long.
Now, the second way is to let the small world leap and sublimate to the middle thousand worlds. In this process, he will receive feedback and make up for the understanding of the Yuhua realm, thus breaking through the Nirvana realm in one fell swoop and becoming the Supreme.
This is also Jiang Lan’s plan.
"In the Xuanhuang World, it is not easy to find a divine object like Xitu that gave birth to the world."
"But, we still have to try."
Jiang Lan then asked Ye Chanyi to find the grand elder of Dao Ji Sect and ask him about the matter of Xitu to see if he could get any information.
However, the Grand Elder of Dao Ji Sect was also helpless about this and said that he was powerless to do anything.
Even in the most powerful thousand worlds, innate divine objects like Xitu are extremely rare. Even if they exist, they will only be in the hands of world master-level figures and will not be easily leaked.
You should know that Xitu can repair the barriers of the whole world. Even if the world is broken, the missing parts can be repaired by Xitu. Its preciousness is self-evident.
"A world master-level figure..."
Jiang Lan didn't feel regretful. If Xitu was so easy to find, it wouldn't be so rare.
"Perhaps, we really have to start with Ye Chanyi."
He thought of the mark on Ye Chanyi's wrist.
The next day, while Ye Chanyi was meditating, a mist of light rose above the jade, filling the air with haze.
As crystal light rain fell and fairy air lingered, Jiang Lan's figure appeared.
He raised his hand, and Ye Chanyi's sleeve was rolled up silently, revealing her snow-white and delicate wrist. In the middle, a vague black mark could be seen emerging.
In Jiang Lan's eyes, runes of the Great Dao flickered and brilliance flowed.
He used his pupil technique to try to draw out the sleeping Heavenly Sword inside. Wisps of black air stained the sword, making it look extremely eerie.
Buzz!!!
In an instant, as if a pool of thunder was touched, a phantom of a heavenly sword suddenly emerged, condensed from nothingness, and with a powerful and profound aura of the Great Dao, it slashed down directly at Jiang Lan.
"It's not an illusion, but a real Heavenly Sword Mark?"
Jiang Lan raised his hand and grabbed the sword energy that was falling down. He immediately caught it in his palm and squeezed it casually. It shattered and exploded instantly, turning into sword light that shattered all over the sky.
Although the owner of this heavenly sword is a realm master, it has fallen into decline and has lost its sharpness. The power manifested by this mark cannot threaten Jiang Lan.
"After the Xuanhuang Realm Lord disappeared, his dojo also disappeared. I wonder if we can use this Heavenly Sword Mark to determine its location."
Jiang Lan looked at it carefully, trying to find the cause and effect line through the Great Destiny Technique, so as to determine the location of the Xuanhuang Realm Lord's temple.
While he was performing the Great Destiny Technique, Ye Chanyi, who was meditating, suddenly frowned.
Her eyes were closed and her face was slightly pale, as if she had dreamed of something bad. Her other hand tightly grasped one part of Jiang Lan's sleeve.
Jiang Lan looked at her, pondered for a while, raised his hand and pointed, and the space between Ye Chanyi's eyebrows suddenly became bright and brilliant, and a ray of light shone out, revealing what she was thinking.
This is the application of the power of mind. What she sees in her dream now is actually what she thinks in her heart.
In the brilliant light, a thick fog of time and space surged in the sky, and vaguely one could see a majestic and ancient Taoist temple, vast and boundless.
A blurry tall figure, emitting a mysterious yellow aura, sat cross-legged in the depths of the Taoist temple, naturally emitting an extremely powerful aura that shook the heavens and the earth.
Above his head, a heavenly sword hung high in the sky like the sun, and the brilliant sword light illuminated the universe.
Near the temple, there were tens of billions of people, kneeling there devoutly.
The scene was very shocking, like the scene of hundreds of races paying homage to the Lord of the Realm in ancient times. In all the star fields, there were sounds of sacrifices, world sounds, and prayers.
Soon, the scene changed. The grand temple was gone. It became dilapidated and dilapidated, lacking vitality, and desolate. There was fog everywhere. On some of the ruins, there were still floating black mists...
Deep inside the dojo, there was a pool of blood, and on the cushion where one was sitting cross-legged, there was a dark hand print.
"Time and space..."
"have……"
Faintly, a faint and vague sound could be heard coming from there, and then a thick fog of time and space blew in, covering everything.
"Time and space exist?"
"What?"
Jiang Lan frowned. What on earth could have caused the existence of the Xuanhuang Realm Lord to leave such a warning? The Xuanhuang World had declined since the disappearance of the Xuanhuang Realm Lord, and from now on, no more Realm Lord-level figures would be born.
This may involve not only the disappearance of the Lord of the Xuanhuang Realm, but also the complete cutting off of the fortune of the Xuanhuang World.
"Besides the Realm Master, are there any unknown dangers hidden in various places in the heavens?"
What happened in the Xuanhuang World was actually beyond Jiang Lan's control. After the catastrophe of the heavens came, the original plot trajectory could be said to have been completely disrupted.
It is obviously not feasible for him to use his past knowledge to think about current affairs.
"However, even if the heavens contain strange dangers, that is something that we will consider after the Realm Master becomes the Realm Master."
Jiang Lan has already confirmed that the heavenly sword is the mark left by the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm. With this mark, he will be sure to find the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm's dojo.
When Ye Chanyi's eyelashes trembled and she was about to open her eyes to wake up, Jiang Lan's figure turned into a rain of light and returned to the ancient jade.
"I just had a dream..."
"I dreamed of a dojo. It was very vague at first, but today's dream is very clear."
After Ye Chanyi woke up, she was stunned for a while, then came to the jade and told Jiang Lan what had just happened.
She has always been outspoken in front of Jiang Lan and can't keep any secrets.
"Do you remember what was in your dream?" Jiang Lan asked her.
"I remember it clearly. The temple was very grand, with many monks and creatures praying there every day..." Ye Chanyi tried hard to recall.
Jiang Lan used the power of cause and effect to activate the dark mark on her wrist.
Along with a buzzing sound, a vague shadow of a heavenly sword appeared in the void, filled with wisps of black air.
"What's going on?"
Ye Chanyi was stunned for a moment.
"This mark of the Heavenly Sword will lead you to the dojo of the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm. You are the successor chosen by the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm." Jiang Lan said.
"Is that so?"
Ye Chanyi stared at the blurry shadow of the Heavenly Sword in a daze. It felt a bit too bizarre that she had become the successor of the Lord of the Xuanhuang Realm without knowing it?
"This was arranged by the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm. It was destined in the dark." Jiang Lan said casually.
With this Heavenly Sword Seal, he would have no problem determining the location of the Xuanhuang Realm Lord's temple through the power of cause and effect.
Over the next few days, strands of causal lines spread out from Dao Ji Sect, continuously spreading toward the surrounding star fields, sweeping across all areas of land.
Jiang Lan cast a spell and searched everywhere, but he could not find any trace of cause and effect in the Xuanhuang world. The Taoist temple of the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm was not in this world.
He set his target on the vast universe outside the Xuanhuang World. Half a month later, he finally found traces somewhere in time and space.
The space-time coordinates there are very hidden, in a vast universe that has long been destroyed.
In that vast starry sky, there are even some cosmic fragments floating around, and inside each fragment live some tribes and creatures, similar to a small world.
Because of the existence of various world auras and the collision with each other, the rules of heaven and earth are extremely chaotic. If there were no causal relationship, it would be difficult to determine.
Jiang Lan did not waste any time. After leaving Dao Ji Sect with Ye Chanyi, he came to the outer space and asked her to activate the Heavenly Sword Seal.
He used another method, and a brilliant sword light directly tore through the barrier of the Xuanhuang World. The ancient warship sped all the way to the vast universe outside.
Compared to the Xuanhuang World, the atmosphere in the vast universe outside is more depressing and deep, extremely dark and profound, and the spiritual energy is also thinner.
It was the first time that Ye Chanyi left the Xuanhuang World. She was both excited and nervous.
Jiang Lan asked her to follow the trace of the sword light, steer the ancient warship, and speed through the universe towards the determined coordinates.
The universe is vast and boundless. Occasionally, some dim stars flash by, and you can also feel some barriers of the universe. A thick breath of chaos lingers, carrying a majestic aura, rumbling and turning, which is depressing.
There were basically no living creatures to be seen along the way.
After the catastrophe in the heavens, almost all the spiritual energy in the universe was drained away. If a cultivator with an unstable foundation and a low realm accidentally comes here, his cultivation may even fall.
It is not easy to tear open the barrier of the world. Jiang Lan relied on his own control over the power of the world and the mark of the Heavenly Sword to tear open the barrier of the Xuanhuang World.
Normally, it takes a lot of effort for a celestial being to tear open the barrier of the universe.
Of course, the most important point is that although the foundation of the Xuanhuang World is at the level of the Great Thousand World, its foundation is no longer comparable to that of the Great Thousand World. At most, it is at the level of the Middle Thousand World.
The thickness of the world's barrier cannot be compared with the real world.
The stars move and the sky shifts, and we speed through the vast universe without feeling the passage of time at all.
Ye Chanyi had Jiang Lan talk to her occasionally, so she didn't go crazy. The journey wasn't boring or exciting, and it wasn't as grand and exciting as she thought it would be.
Sometimes they would encounter some powerful creatures living in the universe, but they would avoid them and would not collide with them.
In this day and age, anyone who dares to travel across the universe is not a weakling.
Finally, following the instructions of the Heavenly Sword Mark, the ancient warship stopped in a ruined universe. Jiang Lan once again used the power of cause and effect to determine the location of the Xuanhuang Realm Lord's Dojo.
He tried to guide it, the breath of time and space vibrated, and ripples spread out. Suddenly, in this dark, deep and broken universe, a grand voice rang out.
In the deep space and time outside the sky, there was a faint fog, which became bigger and thicker, covering the sky and the earth, and traces of a majestic Taoist temple began to appear.
In this broken universe, many races living in the fragments of the broken world were alarmed and shocked by the majestic and grand sound.
The scene was amazing, and the entire broken universe was illuminated.
In the deep and dark void, thick fog was floating, and the sacred and ancient chanting and prayer sounds spread everywhere.
After a long time, the Taoist temple of the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm appeared in the world.
Ye Chanyi was stunned by this scene and was extremely shocked.
In front of this grand dojo, she seemed as small as dust, and each step seemed to be able to accommodate an ancient life star.
She simply couldn't imagine how many lives had gathered in this temple in the past. There were billions and billions of them, countless, enough to be described as immeasurable.
This was even more shocking than what I had seen in my dream.
It was also the first time that Jiang Lan witnessed the dojo of a realm master-level figure, but he was not surprised. He wrapped Ye Chan's clothes with his magic power and rushed to the highest point of the dojo as soon as possible.
He knew that the commotion here would soon attract the attention of many powerful creatures in the vast universe, and even the rest of the world would get the news and be alarmed.
The dojo is vast and boundless, and each step is infinitely wide and filled with mist. There are ancient patterns on it that have not been erased even to this day and still shine.
But as you go higher, you can feel the desolation and ruin. Some places have even collapsed and are all in ruins, as if there was an unknown war here.
We reached the highest point, where the jade-like buildings, pavilions, palaces, and bronze pool pillars all vaguely retained their original appearance.
The black mark on Ye Chanyi's wrist became increasingly hot. She was wrapped up and could not control her body.
He could only watch helplessly as Jiang Lan used him as a "navigator", constantly changing his position and going deeper into the dojo.
Passing through several magnificent palaces, the depths of the Taoist temple presents a feeling of being in a paradise on earth, as if there is the universe, blue sky and white sun, green lakes and green forests, as well as caves, blessed places, mountains and pavilions, magnificent and beautiful, just like a pure land.
However, when Jiang Lan observed and looked around through the pupil technique, he noticed some unusual places. There was a thin black mist floating above some mountains and lakes. There was no sign of life, and it was very cold and silent.
"This should be the place where the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm has been practicing in seclusion all year round. It is completely different from the pavilions and palaces outside. The remaining Taoist charm in this place is the most intense."
Here Jiang Lan put Ye Chanyi down.
His true body stepped out of the jade and looked around.
"You..."
Ye Chanyi's beautiful eyes suddenly widened and she stared at him without blinking, not paying attention to everything around her. Jiang Lan's face was much younger and more handsome than she had imagined.
Having been together for such a long time, she had asked Jiang Lan about his background countless times and had also imagined what he looked like, but Jiang Lan always just made up some excuse and ignored her completely.
This also made her curiosity accumulate to an unprecedented level.
Today I finally got what I wanted.
"Have you seen enough?"
Jiang Lan glanced at Ye Chanyi. He had fully recovered long before. He stayed in the jade just because he didn't want his existence to be guessed by the people in the Xuanhuang World.
After all, it is more convenient to search for the real body in the dojo of the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm.
Ye Chanyi's pretty face turned red, she hummed, then turned around with satisfaction and began to look around.
Jiang Lan’s purpose is to find a substance similar to Xitu, which is crucial.
Ye Chanyi's mind was no longer in this Taoist temple, but after she took a few steps, she unexpectedly picked up a token in front of a cave.
"What's this?"
She tried to mobilize her magic power into it, and the token immediately flew out of her hand, turned into a stream of light and flew straight into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the entire dojo began to rumble and shake violently, and a layer of hazy light began to surge and gush out. Some formation patterns engraved on the ground also revived, forming and interweaving between heaven and earth, turning into a series of barrier formations.
The door to the cave in front of her suddenly opened with a loud bang, and there was a smell of smoke and dust in the air, accompanied by swaying rays of light and precious energy, and thick, dark yellow mother energy flowed out.
Ye Chanyi was stunned. She never thought that the token she picked up would have such an effect.
Jiang Lan glanced at Ye Chanyi. He finally began to believe that this girl was a girl of luck, although her luck was not obvious, she was truly a girl of luck.
No one else has this kind of luck.
Moreover, he felt that the Tongtian Stele that he had obtained during the Great Xia Southern Hunting Exercise was trembling again.
He raised his hand and the Tongtian Stele flew out directly. Wisps of mysterious yellow energy hung down and floated in his palm.
"What is in this cave that caused the Tongtian Monument to react like this?"
"The reason for this reaction was the Golden Cauldron of Luck that Jiang Ruxian left me. Come to think of it, this Tongtian Tablet was also left by her."
Jiang Lan used all his eyesight to look at the cave through the escaping Xuanhuang mother energy, and then he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Deep in the cave, where white jade bottles and jars were placed, they were scattered all over the ground. One of the sealed jade jars broke open, and the mysterious yellow mother energy diffused out from it, a brilliant deep yellow color. Faintly, a mass of substance as deep as loess could be seen in it.
"Could it be that the material used to refine the Tongtian Stele is also that piece of yellow earth?"
"Is this Xuanhuang Mother Qi Earth?"
Jiang Lan suddenly smiled. It was worth it that he had cultivated Ye Chanyi for such a long time. This guy was really his lucky star.
