Chapter 406 The Emperor's Sword Breaks
"Can the royal family of Dongya be trusted?"
Inside the quiet room, Xing Luoyuan's voice rang out. He was somewhat worried as he said, "My fifth aunt said that the Dongya royal family is full of wolves and wolves, and should not be trusted."
"Once you actually give them the Demon Summoning Technique, whether they will still treat you with such respect is another matter entirely..."
It was precisely because she did not trust the Dongya royal family that the Five Elements Goddess had previously requested that the Dongya royal family first offer up the furnace for cultivating the Furnace Transformation Technique before she would grant them the Demon Summoning Technique.
Li Lan said calmly, "Of course, we can't place all our hopes on their character."
In reality, how could there possibly be any moral character in a family that has grown into such a behemoth as royalty?
In today's world, those who uphold integrity and righteousness will spend their entire lives being fooled at the bottom, becoming the leeks that provide faith and incense offerings.
Those who achieve a certain status and fame, while not all of them are vicious and treacherous, are also not foolish enough to adhere to any moral code.
Li Lan's method of restraint was also quite simple...
"Just modify the Demon Summoning Technique."
He remained calm.
In the past few days, he has thoroughly figured out the details of the Demon Summoning Technique.
This method is indeed mysterious and profound. If it were any other method, Li Lan could see through it at a glance, understand it thoroughly, and use it.
However, it took him several days to grasp the essence of this method and to come up with a way to modify it.
Upon hearing this, Xing Luoyuan was stunned. He looked at Li Lan in disbelief and said, "Change... change the Demonic Art?"
He was shocked.
It should be noted that the Summoning Demon Technique is no ordinary spell; even in the primordial world, it was a spell that only the ancestral demons of the major races could master.
Even Xingluoyuan, the holy son of the third race, who was famous throughout the world and had mastered eleven Great Daos, was not qualified to learn them.
Even if it were placed right in front of him, he might not be able to understand its true meaning.
But Li Lan has only had it for a few days, and he dares to say... change it?
Even those ancestral demons might not dare to be so arrogant.
However, Li Lan ignored him and waved his hand, and a layer of black demonic energy appeared. Within the demonic energy, there were countless black characters that swam around like tadpoles.
Li Lan suddenly made his move. His fingers were like knives, and wherever they touched, the characters underwent a strange change. Their shapes and quantities were all different from before.
Xingluoyuan was dumbfounded!
The characters used in the Demon Summoning Technique contain extremely strong demonic laws and primordial power. It can be said that each character contains unique power, and not a single character can be changed!
But now... has it really been rewritten by Li Lan?
Still so relaxed?
He was completely stunned. Was this the terrifying power of the ignorant?
Suddenly, he understood why the ignorant were hailed as kings among kings and possessed the invincible way.
Even the Demon Summoning Technique can be altered... This is something that even his fifth aunt and many other ancestral demons could not do.
"Too monstrous..."
He couldn't help but sigh.
"Fortunately, we are no longer enemies..."
Houtu Thirteen also had a complicated expression; it had completely worshipped Li Lan.
"Our master will one day dominate the entire Eternal True Realm and sweep across the Primordial World!"
It couldn't help but get a little excited.
Upon hearing this, Xingluoyuan suddenly became puzzled and asked, "Since when did you start to acknowledge him as your master?"
Houtu Thirteen: "..."
"Anyway, don't worry about it. From now on, I will serve my master like a dog or a horse, and I will follow him for the rest of my life!"
Xingluoyuan: "..."
But then he couldn't help but sigh softly and say, "Following the Way is indeed a kind of fortune."
……
"Thank you, esteemed guest!"
half a month later.
Inside a secluded retreat, many princes and nobles of the Dongya royal family rose to their feet and spoke politely.
Over the past two weeks, as agreed upon by both parties, Li Lan has passed on the Demon Summoning Technique to them.
The Demon Summoning Technique is extremely powerful; after paying a certain price, it can summon back those long-dead demons to fight for them.
This would make up for the loss of combat power by the family during the previous war between the two worlds.
Many experts from the Dongya royal family failed to discover the problem with the Demon Summoning Technique.
After all, Li Lan's changes to this law were fundamental. Even people from the primordial world like Xingluoyuan could not see any problems. How could the Dongya clan possibly notice them?
"Once this method is obtained, the Dongya royal family will surely prosper."
Li Lan also spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Dongya Changlie immediately understood the urging in Li Lan's words, smiled, and said, "Someone come here!"
Immediately, a prince stepped forward.
"Dongya Changfeng is my cousin, and he is now the Prince of Zhennan of the Dongya royal family."
He gave a brief introduction, and then continued, "Changfeng, you personally take Guest Elder Wu Heng and Young Master Xingluoyuan to Xingzang Valley."
Star Burial Valley!
Li Lan's heart stirred. He had heard Dong Yaxue say that Star Burial Valley was a notorious and dangerous place in the Eternal True Realm, where countless demons were buried.
In the past, the Heavenly Emperor once fought a battle with many peerless masters from the primordial world. In that battle, the stars of the primordial world fell and were all buried in it, hence the name Star Burial Valley.
Star Burial Valley holds a high position in the Eternal True Realm and cannot be monopolized by any one race. Various royal families regularly visit it to excavate the remains of demons and seek opportunities.
The Dongya royal family controls one-ninth of the Eternal True Realm, with a territory spanning hundreds of millions of miles. They suppress countless demons and control the whereabouts of countless primordial substances, yet they want him to go to Star Burial Valley.
This place is not under the control of the Dongya royal family.
He instantly realized something, and a chill ran through him.
As expected of the Dongya royal family, they are always ruthless in their actions!
He had initially thought that the Dongya royal family had allowed Chiling Hengtian to target him only because Chiling Hengtian was of greater use. Now that he had replaced Chiling Hengtian and brought with him the opportunity to cooperate with a third clan, the Dongya royal family should at least take him seriously...
However, judging from Dongya Changlie's arrangement, it seems that the Dongya royal family has ulterior motives.
What could make them refuse to cooperate with the Third Race of the Primordial World?
It seems that only the First and Second Clans remain!
Having figured out the key point, Li Lan felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't say anything more.
The two are outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds, each with their own agendas, so it's not fair to be too harsh on them.
"Then I'll have to trouble Prince Zhennan."
Li Lan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Dongya Changfeng.
"Then let's set off today, shall we?"
Dongya Changfeng smiled slightly.
"it is good!"
Li Lan agreed.
Soon after.
At the gate of the Dongya Royal Family's Suspended Immortal City, rows of luxurious royal war chariots were already in place.
Prince Dongya Changfeng of Zhennan personally oversaw the operation, and Dongya Xiaoxiao also arrived!
"Wu Heng, I'll go with you!"
She was quite excited.
Li Lan smiled slightly, but was somewhat puzzled. If Dongya Changlie wanted to harm her, why would he send Dongya Xiaoxiao over?
He lowered the curtain without giving it much thought.
And this moment.
"Xiaoxiao, don't forget what your aunt and your father told you."
Dongya Changfeng spoke softly, his whispered words entering Dongya Xiaoxiao's carriage.
"Your purpose in going there is to help your family win the favor of the 'First God'."
His words were somewhat cold: "Given your status, it's not appropriate for you to get too close to Wu Heng, understand?"
Dongya Xiaoxiao remained silent for a long time before muttering, "I know... I didn't do anything with Wu Heng, I just said hello."
Dongya Changfeng couldn't help but feel helpless. Was this just a simple greeting? Anyone with eyes could see how happy Dongya Xiaoxiao was when she saw Li Lan!
"Besides, he already has a wife, so you don't need to worry..."
Dongya Xiaoxiao spoke softly.
……
Numerous carriages departed from the royal family of Dongya and sped away.
The Eternal King's chariot moved with incredible speed, soaring through the air like lightning.
Looking down from the royal chariot, one can see countless valleys, lakes, plains, and river valleys rushing past, and scattered among them are human cities, radiating the light of their flourishing faith...
It gives one a sense of looking down on the world.
"What a wonderful world..."
Li Lan couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Such a beautiful world, yet the people of this world are always exploited and enslaved, never having experienced the beauty of this world.
Even now, they are being sold by the eternal royal family they worship to the demons of the primordial world...
The thought flashed through his mind, and he remained silent.
……
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
The carriage finally came to a stop in front of a vast mountain range.
This mountain range is vast and undulating, stretching endlessly like a giant dragon lying across the earth. Even from a distance, it exudes a breathtaking aura that makes people tremble.
"The Star Burial Mountains actually have another name... the Sword Echo Mountains."
Upon arriving at this place, Dongya Xiaoxiao couldn't help but speak.
Li Lan was naturally aware of this as well.
Back then, the Heavenly Emperor killed countless geniuses from the primordial world here, and finally left a sword mark on the highest peak.
The sword mark, though ancient, has not faded and even exudes an astonishing sword intent. If any demons in Star Burial Valley dare to make a move, the sound of a sword will ring out, suppressing everything.
Therefore, it was named Jianming Mountain.
However, all the royal families of the Eternal True Realm intend to erase the existence of the Heavenly Emperor and cover up all traces he left behind. Therefore, they all call this place the Star Burial Mountain Range and never mention the Heavenly Emperor's past or relics.
"Change to dragon horses and enter the mountains!"
The wind howled from the eastern edge.
Because of the Heavenly Emperor's sword intent, even members of the Eternal Royal Family cannot fly through the air and can only walk.
Therefore, everyone changed into the forbidden dragon horse of the Dongya royal family.
These forbidden dragon horses are entirely golden, as if cast from pure gold. Each one possesses the power of divine fire. If placed in the outside world, even one of these horses could crush a small family.
Hundreds of people rode into the mountains and forests.
The Star Burial Mountains stretch for tens of millions of miles and are covered with countless plants, but no other living beings survive there.
Not even an ant or a bird can be seen!
Because this place is a dead end, a place where demons and monsters perish, how can it allow other living beings to survive?
The group quickly ventured deeper into the mountains and forests, and the further they went, the more astonishing the vegetation became.
The black grass grew wildly, like a long sword and fangs reaching for the sky, and every tree bore black skull marks...
These plants, absorbing demonic energy day and night, would have long since transformed into monstrous demons and wreaked havoc on the area if they weren't suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor's sword mark at the highest peak.
If the plants and trees tainted by the residual demonic energy are already this terrifying, how horrifying must the demons who perished here in the past have been?
