This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 118 The Strange Envoy Lin Ruoxue

"I didn't see a real dog... but there was a black dog hair inside the Wanyuan Mountains."

Li Lan replied that he would immediately relay everything that Luo Tian Da Sheng had described to Sister Cat.

After listening, the white cat nodded: "Even the true dragon clan could escape, and this little thing wasn't eaten. It seems it hasn't completely gone mad yet..."

"But it will be soon. Hmm, you need to grow up quickly and pave that path. Maybe if that dog drinks your blood, it will regain its senses."

She muttered to herself, but Li Lan felt a chill run down her spine.

Something feels off. Right now, it's like Sister Cat is training him, just like she's training food for that dog.

That's really absurd.

"It's not good for Longbao to have me around. I'd like it to stay with you, what do you think?"

Li Lan tentatively asked a question.

If the cat agrees, then Longbao will have truly latched onto a powerful patron.

Cat Sister glanced at Long Bao, who looked aggrieved and uneasy.

"For the sake of the True Dragon Clan's ancestor, it can be kept."

The cat spoke.

Li Lan breathed a sigh of relief, while Long Bao was even more excited. It rolled on the ground, then crawled to the cat and affectionately rubbed its little paw against the cat's paw. The cat casually raised its paw and patted its head.

"Oh, right, and this too,"

Li Lan took out the Heavenly King Pagoda, a sacred artifact of the Li family, and said, "Could you help me refine it?"

He had already asked the Sword Saint, Dugu Yibai. Although the Sword Saint was powerful, this tower was still a sacred artifact. If the Sword Saint forced it, the tower might self-destruct.

This thing is extremely powerful, and it has a bloodline connection with Li Lan. Li Lan felt it would be a great pity to destroy it!

If it can be successfully refined, it will be an extremely powerful trump card!

"It's a celestial artifact, not of high grade, but you're too weak. You can have it once you become an immortal."

The cat glanced at it, not taking it to heart. With a flick of its paw, a beam of light landed on the Heavenly King Tower, and it said, "Hmm, this way no one can find you through this tower."

Li Lan was overjoyed upon seeing this.

This item is, after all, a sacred artifact of the Li family. Who knows if the Li family has any way to forcibly recall it or locate Li Lan? Now that the cat has taken action, it is truly foolproof.

Moreover, he is already at the Dao Integration Realm, and once he passes the Seven Tribulations, he will not be far from becoming an immortal.

Now, his most pressing task is to overcome the seven tribulations while searching for the Stone Clan's Heaven-Mending Immortal Technique and cultivate into a Five-Colored True Immortal!

How can we find the Heaven-Mending Technique?

Li Lan asked a question.

The cat said, "The Stone People are rarely seen now... well, most of them are probably extinct. Even if there are any left, they should be sealed in various divine sources."

"Moreover, the Stone Clan has always been perceptive. During this era, the fortunes of the human race are favored. Therefore, the Stone Clan mostly hides in the bustling cities of the human race, rather than in remote wilderness areas."

She didn't tell Li Lan the exact whereabouts, only gave him a general direction.

Li Lan nodded, then took out a box and said with a smile, "A gift brought back from the Ten Thousand Yuan Mountain Range. Thank you, Sister Cat, for taking care of the Yuan Clan!"

Inside the box is a drop of true dragon blood!

He only had this one drop left!

The Great Sage Luo Tian and the Sword Saint have exhausted most of their resources and have little left.

"Just leave it there,"

The cat didn't refuse, saying, "When you go to find the Stone Clan, bring back a few people for me on your way."

Li Lan was immediately curious and asked, "Who?"

With a flick of its paw, the cat conjured a scene before Li Lan: a young girl lying in a stone coffin. The girl was breathtakingly beautiful, her eyes closed, and she did not appear to be alive.

This is the first person. The scene quickly changes, and the second person appears: a middle-aged beauty sitting on a throne. She is dressed in a long black dress, like a monarch in the dark night. Black flames burn like a vast ocean around her. She is truly arrogant and obviously no ordinary person!

"What do you want with them?"

Li Lan asked a question.

"Can't I have a few maids?"

The cat asked a question in return.

"Sure, of course..."

Li Lan sighed and asked, "But who are they?"

"The young one should be an ancient genius who is being resurrected by the Sun Moon Sect. If all goes well, he should live for some time. The other one is the fallen Black Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan. As for his cultivation level... Great Sage?"

Li Lan nearly fainted upon hearing this.

The ancient genius of the Sun Moon Sect, the Great Sage of the Phoenix Clan... should Li Lan be sent to capture him?

He suddenly remembered the scene in Journey to the West where the nine-headed serpent said to Benboerba, "Go and get rid of Tang Sanzang and his disciples!"

Benboerba: "Me?"

6.

"Would it be more appropriate for you to take action yourself?"

Li Lan said.

“If I take action, it’s easy to cause karmic consequences… It’s better if you do it for me.”

"Well, anyway, the karma on your body is already a complete mess, a real jumble, so a little more won't hurt."

The cat said, "You don't need to rush to catch them. You can wait until your cultivation level improves. There's no rush."

Li Lan: "..."

However, he knew that the cat must be plotting something, and these two must be very important, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"I'll go find the Stone Clan's method for achieving immortality first."

He prepared to take his leave.

"Yes, hurry up. It would be best to return and become an immortal when the Li family's Tengshe Water-Drawing Technique is activated. Utilizing the earth energy and source energy of the Wanyuan Mountain Range will be of great help to you."

……

After Li Lan left.

"Meow, what a nuisance."

The cat yawned, and as her eyes opened and closed, it seemed as if countless oceans of cause and effect emerged, within which many rays of light had already been chosen by her.

"Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Lin Ruobing, Lin Ruoxue, Li Yue... they've all been tainted by this guy's karma; otherwise, their aptitude and fortune would have met the requirements..."

The ancient genius of the Sun Moon Sect, the fallen Black Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan, was truly her only choice after much deliberation.

At that time, there were ten units of luck, six or seven of which seemed to be related to Li Lan. The cause and effect were mysterious and entangled.

"However, if it weren't for their karmic ties with this guy, their fates might not have become so unpredictable and treacherous..."

The cat whispered, "The karma of one person can be enough to cause a dramatic change in an era..."

"Hey, sister, can you teach me how to cultivate?"

Longbao looked at her with hopeful eyes and said, "It seems that our ancestor said that cats are the most powerful creatures, capable of understanding all things..."

Its awe and reverence for cats is a completely instinctive thing!

When it saw the cat, some imprints etched into its very being slowly emerged, as if breaking the mystery of its birth and awakening many ancestral memories...

"Refine the true blood first,"

The cat tossed the true dragon blood that Li Lan had offered to Long Bao, seemingly having no need for it at all, and said, "Your physique is too weak right now; you can't practice my techniques yet."

If the world heard these words, they would surely be shocked. Who in the world doesn't know that the most terrifying thing about the True Dragon Clan is their physical body? As a direct descendant of the Dragon Clan, and with the Dao Yuan Grass by her side, Long Bao's physique is even more heaven-defying, but now, in her eyes, she is... not qualified!

……

Leave the land of a thousand rivers.

"The Stone People, sealed within the divine source, are not too far removed from human civilization..."

Li Lan pondered, realizing that finding it wouldn't be easy.

"The major powers of the Northern Frontier have agreed to discuss this matter in the Northern Emperor City!"

"I've heard that several immortal saints from various families have sent word: Let's go and check out the Northern Emperor City!"

"There's another big event: the major powers in Beidi City are about to hold a jade gambling extravaganza, and it's said that many precious old rough stones and old stock have been brought out!"

News from northern Xinjiang is spreading like wildfire.

Since the news of the Sword Saint's impending arrival of the Gray Mist spread throughout the world, the major powers in the Northern Frontier have been making numerous significant moves!

"A jade gambling extravaganza?!"

Li Lan's eyes lit up.

Various powerful forces have occupied the world's mineral veins for countless years, accumulating astonishing raw stones in their treasuries. Now, they have brought them out for all to see, and issued invitations to all who wish to join them!

Many powerful raw stones may contain extraordinary things, and even major powers in the Northern Frontier may not dare to cut them open, requiring the help of experts among the Source Masters.

In the past, these would have been the foundation of all major powers, but now, in order to find a way to combat the gray fog, all major powers have exhausted all their resources.

After all, many raw stones may contain ancient secrets. If we can find some clues related to ancient forbidden creatures, it may be a glimmer of hope.

"Within the raw stone, there may very well be a divine source, and this... is precisely where human civilization is located!"

Li Lan's heart stirred, and he decided to go to Beidi City to give it a try!

……

And this moment.

The Celestial Realm, Central Continent!

In the heart of the Central Continent, there lies a fairyland known as the Thirty-Three Heavens!

The Celestial Court founded by the Supreme Celestial Emperor is located here.

Among them were countless celestial soldiers, heavily guarded, with celestial palaces perched in the clouds, and celestial envoys coming and going frequently.

And today, at the South Heavenly Gate.

The celestial messenger Gu Ling is personally waiting here to welcome an important guest.

--After she returned from the northern frontier, she reported everything she had seen and heard. However, the Celestial Court did not issue any decrees or anything like that. Instead, it fell into silence and sent out a letter inviting a guest.

Auspicious clouds flew in from the sky and landed at the South Heavenly Gate. A woman descended from the auspicious clouds.

The woman was dressed in white, with a cold and aloof expression, like a distant iceberg.

"Honored guest, please follow me."

Gu Ling did not inquire about the other party's identity, but simply bowed and led her inside, heading straight for the Lingxiao Palace.

The Supreme Immortal Emperor had long transcended everything. The one in charge of the palace was one of his ten disciples, Xun Yuan Tianjun!

Xun Yuan Tianjun, dressed in a magnificent golden immortal robe, stepped out to greet the aloof woman, and said with a smile, "I have been waiting for this extraordinary envoy for a long time. Miss Lin has finally arrived!"

The aloof woman asked calmly, "Where is the Immortal Emperor? Has he come to his senses?"

Upon hearing this, Xun Yuan Tianjun's expression slightly changed, and he said, "I have already reported the matter that Miss Lin mentioned to my master, but he has not yet made a decision on the matter."

"I've heard that the leader of this strange army is the demonic soul of the former Mingzun. My master wishes to meet this old friend first. I wonder if Miss Lin could arrange this?"

Upon hearing this, the woman surnamed Lin shook her head and said, "The demonic soul of the Bright Lord has already vanished."

"If his demonic soul hadn't been destroyed, how could the Celestial Court have had this opportunity? The Gray Mist Imperial Path was originally prepared for the Bright Venerable!"

Upon hearing this, Xun Yuan Tianjun was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Mingzun's demonic soul has vanished?!"

The woman surnamed Lin nodded: "It's absolutely true, the Mingzun Demon Soul has been gone for several years."

"How is this possible... How could his demonic soul just vanish like that?!"

Xun Yuantian frowned, seemingly unable to believe it!

The woman surnamed Lin sighed, "It might be related to someone from the Abyss Realm."

"This person may have already reached the Immortal Realm."

Xun Yuan Tianjun pressed on, asking, "Who?!"

The woman surnamed Lin's expression was slightly complicated: "Li Lan."

Li Lan!

"Li Lan? Miss Ruoxue, are you referring to the Grand Preceptor of the Great Li Kingdom and the True Dragon Technique practitioner who was once engaged to you back in the Abyss Realm?"

Xun Yuantianjun spoke, word by word.

Lin Ruoxue was not surprised. The Celestial Court knew of her existence and would naturally investigate everything about her. It would not be difficult for them to find out about her entanglement with Li Lan in Dali.

Moreover, Li Lan, as the most outstanding genius in the Abyss Realm and possessing the True Dragon Technique, would certainly become a key target of the Celestial Court's investigation.

"good,"

She didn't hide anything: "This person became a sacrifice to the demon soul back then, but not long after he was taken away by the demon soul, the demon soul stopped moving. I searched everywhere and finally confirmed that the demon soul had returned to silence, and Li Lan has also disappeared without a trace..."

"The only possibility is that he made Mingzun's demonic soul disappear, and he also escaped. I can't guess what exactly happened."

As she spoke, a complex look flashed in her eyes, as if she still couldn't understand, still couldn't believe it...

That's the Mingzun Demon Soul, how powerful is it?

And what about Li Lan? Back in Dali, even if he was a genius and cultivated the True Dragon Technique, he was only at the third level of Qi Refining.

How could a mere cultivator, as insignificant as an ant, annihilate the soul of a dignified Bright Venerable? How did he manage that?

She truly never expected that her former fiancé, the man she had once looked down upon, the man whose engagement she had broken off in front of everyone in the Great Li Kingdom... would actually influence the Mingzun Demon Soul and have such a huge impact on her plans!

In fact, she originally planned to launch a massive attack on the Immortal Realm with her supernatural army.

Now, however, they are forced to seek cooperation with the Celestial Court...

Because in this world, the only one who can replace the Mingzun Demon Soul is the Supreme Immortal Venerable, who has already become an Emperor and was once on par with the Mingzun...

Her presence here today signifies a mysterious entity, a transaction to be completed!

"How could someone as insignificant as Li Lan have any influence on the Bright Venerable Demon Soul...?"

Xun Yuan Tianjun also pondered for a moment, then said, "I will have someone investigate this person's background first!"

This is of utmost importance; that Li Lan... must not be let go!

"Furthermore, regarding the Gray Mist Path that Miss Ruoxue mentioned, I would like to give it a try first. I wonder if you could enlighten me?"

Xun Yuan Tianjun then spoke.

Standing beside her, Fairy Gu Ling was deeply shocked. She hadn't expected that today's guest would come from the realm of the supernatural...

And Xun Yuan Tianjun actually wants to try to cultivate the magic within the gray mist?

If the whole world knew about this, I don't know how big a sensation it would cause!

The northern border is still resisting the strange army, the entire immortal realm is in panic because of Dugu Jiansheng's words, and the highest-ranking figures in the immortal realm have already made peace with the enemy and are about to try to walk the so-called Gray Mist Path...

However, she is a disciple of Xun Yuan Tianjun and has always kept her mouth shut, so this will be a secret that will never be known to others.

……

Not long after, Gu Ling saw Lin Ruoxue off.

After watching Lin Ruoxue leave for a long time, Gu Ling sighed softly, then turned and headed towards the northern frontier!

Xun Yuan Tianjun gave her an order.

Looking for someone named Li Lan!

If this person has entered the Immortal Realm, he is most likely still in the Northern Frontier!

……
