Chapter 323: Zizai Tian and Tianjie, Jiang Ruxian came out of retreat, and never changed
After Jiang Lan left the cave, he stayed in Buzhou Duanshan.
On the one hand, it was to wait for Jiang Ruxian to come out of confinement. Although his previous relationship with Jiang Ruxian was somewhat intriguing, judging from the current situation, many of the truths he wanted to know might only be told by Jiang Ruxian.
On the other hand, compared with the outside world, Buzhou Duanshan is indeed more suitable for spiritual practice.
This is a true immortal paradise that has existed since the ancient heavenly period. To this day, the innate energy is still floating between heaven and earth, which is of great benefit to the practice of cultivators.
If Jiang Lan wants to perfect the middle thousand sphere and push it further into the great world, it will take a long time to nurture it.
According to the Buzhou Immortal, one day of cultivation in the Buzhou Duan Mountain is equivalent to one year in the paradise of the outside world. One day in heaven is equal to one year underground.
In addition, many places in the universe are now eyeing Jiang Lan, and some beings in restricted areas may want to take advantage of him.
Buzhou Duanshan is currently the most stable and safe place for Jiang Lan, allowing him to focus all his attention on cultivation.
If you encounter some problems in cultivation, you can also ask Buzhouxian for advice at any time.
Buzhouxian is a true immortal. During the period when the ancient heaven existed, he reached the other side and condensed his immortal body.
With her guidance, Jiang Lan could save a lot of time searching for the truth in the Nirvana Realm.
The heritage and treasures accumulated by Buzhou Duanshan over countless years are also available for Jiang Lan to use at will. If there is anything else he needs, just ask.
Buzhou Xian knew Jiang Lan's habits in Jiuzhou, and even intended to let Xi Biyue and Gu Luoyan take care of his daily life.
These kinds of treatment made Xi Biyue and Gu Luoyan extremely envious.
Jiang Lan naturally did not miss such an opportunity to acquire knowledge. He immersed himself in the library of Buzhou Duanshan all day long, reading many classics related to the ancient heaven.
He was also verifying it with the prototype of the Heavenly Palace in his own thousand spheres, learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses.
However, in the process, Jiang Lan discovered some very interesting things. The various records about the ancient heaven in the classics, as well as some remaining ruins, vaguely corresponded to some memories he knew, and were very consistent.
These things made his previous guess about the origin of the mysterious ancient vine in his sea of consciousness more certain.
The collection of books and manuals in Buzhou Duanshan is as vast as the sea. Jiang Lan focused on many things and in just a few days, he learned about everything that had happened in the many eras from the time when the ancient heaven existed to the present.
If these classics are true, then since the first collapse of the Heavenly Palace in ancient times, there have been eight great catastrophes of heaven and earth.
These eight great catastrophes of heaven and earth do not include the great war among the heavens that occurred during the era when the ancient heaven collapsed for the first time.
That is to say, after the collapse of the ancient heaven, the ancient heaven would be reorganized once every era. When it was about to be reorganized, a great catastrophe of heaven and earth would break out, shattering the reorganized ancient heaven again.
Repeat the cycle eight times in total.
As for why the ancient heaven collapsed and why all living beings wanted to kill the Emperor of Heaven, there is no record in the classics. It seems that "killing the Emperor of Heaven" has become a taboo word that cannot be passed down through the long river of time. It may also be that they are avoiding something.
When Jiang Lan was reading these books, he was also verifying his understanding and knowledge of this world in his memory.
In ancient times, in addition to the heavenly realm, there was also a free heaven.
Zizaitian is said to be the source of all demons in the heavens. All demons to date were born from Zizaitian.
In the heavenly realm, all the immortals are governed by the Heavenly Court and receive titles from the Emperor of Heaven.
In the Heaven of Freedom, the immortals call themselves the Free Immortals. They are not subject to any rule and are free and at ease.
The Lord of Zizai Heaven is the second immortal created by the universe. He achieved enlightenment after the Emperor of Heaven and, following the example of the Emperor of Heaven, established a world that was above all other heavens, calling himself Zizai Heaven.
From then on, when monks reach the other side and become immortals, they have two choices: one is to enter the free heaven and become a free immortal; the other is to enter the heavenly realm and become a conferred immortal under the jurisdiction of the heavenly court.
These records are also consistent with Jiang Lan's understanding.
However, after the first great catastrophe among the heavens, Zizai Heaven was also shattered. The ancient Zizai Talisman that he had obtained in the Demon Abyss was also born from a wisp of the origin of Zizai Heaven after its shattering, and it attracted the covetousness of many demons.
The Lord of the Heaven of Freedom also fell silent after the first great catastrophe in the heavens.
During the most prosperous period of the ancient times, the heaven and the free heaven coexisted, and the immortals would sometimes descend to the human world to roam, hold forums to discuss the Tao, or visit friends to inquire about where they were. It was a prosperous time and living beings from all walks of life could often see the traces of the immortals.
After the great catastrophe in the heavens, all the immortals disappeared. From then on, the Lord of the Realm became the most powerful creature in the heavens. The immortal gate collapsed, the immortal path was cut off, and there was no hope of becoming an immortal.
“The Path to Nirvana…”
"In this life, only when the heaven appears can we continue on the path to immortality."
Jiang Lan put down the book, and his mind became completely silent.
Although immortals can no longer be born in this world, some of the immortals who once existed are still alive.
Of course, such an immortal can no longer be called a true immortal, but can only be considered a remnant immortal.
The crippled immortal was unable to display his true full strength, let alone the supreme power that could open up the universe with the mere thought of his fingers.
For example, the current Buzhou Immortal only has a piece of hand bone left, and he is simply unable to rely on the current environment of heaven and earth to condense a complete immortal body.
She is indeed very powerful, far surpassing the Realm Lord, and it is easy for her to suppress the Realm Lord with a wave of her hand.
But it still can't compare with the real immortals.
"When I condense the universe, I can easily suppress them." Jiang Lan's heart was calm, suppressing all the fluctuations of his emotions.
According to Buzhou Xian, he really had no choice, only one of him and the Emperor of Heaven could survive.
So his purpose of becoming stronger was to survive in the future competition with the Heavenly Emperor? To become a new Heavenly Emperor, to rule over the heavens, time and space, and trillions of universes, and then be overthrown by the next Heavenly Emperor?
The Emperor of Heaven opened up the heavens, opened up a way forward for all living beings, created realms, and made supreme achievements.
How could Jiang Lan deserve to be comparable to an existence like the Emperor of Heaven who had made supreme achievements?
What contributions has he made to the heavens and the countless living beings that deserve their respect and admiration?
What Buzhouxian and other beings need is not a new Heavenly Emperor, but a "stable" existence that can be controlled by them.
This person could be him, Jiang Lan, or another Zhang San, or another Li Si...
Jiang Lan has always been sober.
No matter what the Emperor of Heaven had done to cause the condemnation of all the gods, it was not something he could challenge now.
No matter how beautiful the pie that Buzhouxian painted was, it was impossible for Jiang Lan to trust her.
He just wanted to gain enough benefits for himself in this overall situation.
Time flies and half a year has passed.
Ye Chanyi, who was practicing in the middle thousand sphere, finally couldn't hold back anymore and took the initiative to leave and came to the Buzhou Broken Mountain outside.
When Gu Luoyan was suppressed in the middle thousand sphere, Ye Chanyi would talk to him from time to time, making sarcastic remarks to him, and the two of them became somewhat familiar with each other.
After arriving at Buzhou Duanshan, Ye Chanyi finally understood Gu Luoyan's identity, and her little face turned pale with fright.
She hid beside Jiang Lan for several days in a row, and then when she saw that Gu Luoyan didn't care about her, she slowly put her mind at ease. She flattered her and called her fairy all the time, trying to resolve the old grudge.
Naturally, Gu Luoyan would not do anything to Ye Chanyi just because of some verbal dispute.
After all, she was a celestial being who had cultivated for a long time, so she wouldn't be so petty as to haggle with a little girl.
Out of consideration for Jiang Lan's current status, she was very polite to Ye Chanyi.
Because when they were in the middle thousand sphere, Ye Chanyi always called Jiang Lan "husband", making her think that they were in a confirmed Taoist couple relationship.
After Buzhouxian personally confirmed it, she and Xi Biyue also understood that Jiang Lan was the "new emperor" in the prophecy, and there was nothing wrong with him calling himself the future Emperor of Heaven.
Therefore, the two girls treated Jiang Lan with respect.
During the six months in Buzhou Mountain, Jiang Lan's cultivation progress was relatively slow.
However, the Fruit of the Heart's Way had undergone obvious changes. The ball of mind was condensing faster, and he was able to extract energy from it to improve the progress of the Middle Thousand Worlds, which also improved a lot.
Of course, during this half year, he also refined many of the divine materials he had looted before, and used them to open up the Middle Thousand Worlds, condense the boundary walls, and complete the various rules therein.
It is much more difficult for a middle thousand world to be promoted to a big thousand world than for a small world to be promoted to a middle thousand world.
Not to mention that Jiang Lan is still shaping and condensing the prototype of the new heaven inside the middle thousand sphere, making the entire middle thousand world transform towards a new heaven.
This made his progress very slow.
Another half a year passed. The glow of the cave where Jiang Ruxian had been in seclusion faded away, and a rumbling sound was heard. She finally came out.
Jiang Lan saw her again after several years.
Jiang Ruxian was still the same as before, dressed in white, with her long black hair covering half of her face. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful, and unparalleled, without any flaws.
The last time the two met was when Jiang Lan was transcending the Eight Realms Heavenly Tribulation in the Great Xia Dynasty. Everything seemed like just a day ago, as if it was right before their eyes.
In order to prove her sincerity, she went to Mengze to look for the Heart-Searching Flower, but found nothing.
After returning, Jiang Lan was about to break through the eighth realm, but was stopped by the Demon Saint of Dongyuan Prefecture.
Jiang Ruxian was unaware of Jiang Lan and Li Ran's plan, so she showed up and took action to stop the Demon Saint.
Jiang Lan fell into a coma.
After waking up, Jiang Ruxian came to visit. It was windy and snowy outside, but the house was warm and cozy. After just a few words, the two never saw each other again.
At this moment, Jiang Ruxian looked at Jiang Lan, who was already able to rival the Realm Master, but her expression was a little dazed.
Even she didn't expect that Jiang Lan would grow so fast, so fast that he had caught up with her.
Jiang Lan naturally also saw clearly Jiang Ruxian's current cultivation level. She was indeed in the Nirvana Realm, and was in the late Nirvana Realm.
If she were recognized by the Heavenly Heart Seal of the universe, she would be a world master.
However, with Jiang Ruxian's means, even if she did not get the recognition of the Tianxin Seal, her strength was not inferior to that of the Realm Master.
As for whether she had obtained the vast world left by the Queen, Jiang Lan had no idea.
"I haven't seen you for many years. You seem a little unfamiliar."
Jiang Lan took the initiative to speak with a smile on his face. All the things he had done before to "retaliate" against Jiang Ruxian flashed through his mind like flowing water.
He admitted that he did have some "revengeful" mentality at the time, and a big reason was that he wanted to take advantage of Jiang Ruxian's luck.
But now, this part of luck is no longer important to Jiang Lan. He can even absorb the origin of the universe, so naturally he doesn't care about this luck.
"I'm just surprised. I didn't want you to go down this path."
Jiang Ruxian's composure had recovered, her tone was still gentle, and her eyes were much softer.
"Whether it's an accident or not is not important. What's important is that I have indeed embarked on this path and have come this far. I can't turn back." Jiang Lan said with a smile.
Jiang Ruxian noticed the change in his attitude. He was no longer as sharp-tongued as before, with thorns in his words and expressions. She didn't want her to get close to him.
This kind of casualness and naturalness is like the relief after letting go of everything and no longer caring.
But this kind of indifference made her feel a little blocked in her heart. Not caring means letting it go.
Not only did he let go of the past, he also let go of her...
In the past, Jiang Lan would sometimes make sarcastic remarks and had a cold attitude, which really proved that he cared a lot and did so on purpose.
Now he was so nonchalant and didn't care at all about what happened between them, which made it even more difficult for her to accept.
"You've changed..."
Jiang Ruxian looked at Jiang Lan, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts completely.
Jiang Lan sighed slightly and said, "I have always been like this and have never changed. Everything I did before was just to deliberately anger you and take revenge on you. Why do you insist on caring about these things? Jiang Ruxian, you shouldn't dwell on these things."
"Tell me, you are acting like this on purpose, right?" Jiang Ruxian stared at him intently.
Jiang Lan was telling the truth, he really had never changed.
"You've become paranoid. Many years later, we meet again. I've thought about the scene of us meeting again, but I never thought it would be like this." Jiang Lan shook his head slightly.
Jiang Ruxian also knew that asking like this now was indeed a bit too paranoid.
"I just want to make sure how you really see me in your heart..." Jiang Ruxian pursed her red lips lightly, calming herself down a little.
She really shouldn't dwell on these little things, because there are more important things waiting for her.
“Does it matter?”
"Come with me for a walk. I want to know something."
Jiang Lan did not answer this question, but walked towards the cliff of Buzhou Broken Mountain.
Fairy mist was surging in that place, as if it could take in all the terrain of this restricted area and give a panoramic view of the magnificent mountains.
Jiang Ruxian looked at his back, remained silent for a moment, and then followed him.
"Jiang Ruxian is a person that even our master respects very much. She has always been very cold and indifferent..."
"I never thought she would show such emotions. It's really rare."
After Jiang Ruxian came out of seclusion, Xi Biyue and Gu Luoyan, who came after hearing the news, watched the scene from a distance. They were very surprised and surprised, with gossipy curiosity expressions on their faces.
They wanted to secretly follow and take a look, but after thinking it over, they stopped.
Not far away, Ye Chanyi was also looking over curiously, wanting to know the identity of the mysterious woman in white.
