Chapter 298 Stepping into the Divine Realm
Hellfire boils, the Yellow Springs surge, oil cauldron boils fiercely, tongues are pulled out and skins are peeled off...
"Now, has the Holy Son remembered anything?"
Li Lan asked with a faint smile.
Before him, Xin Yunhe was no longer human. He trembled, terrified, and said, "What do you want to know... I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything!"
He really couldn't take it anymore; he simply couldn't withstand the various tortures and torments in hell!
Li Lan stared at him and calmly said, "Tell me, what did you do to the underworld of Zhuanxu? Where did the scriptures on the body of the Zhuanxu Demon God go?"
This is what Li Lan is most concerned about right now.
The seven great demon gods each possess a scripture, which is extremely important and indispensable to Li Lan. However, the underworld of Zhuanxu has been destroyed, and Zhuanxu himself is rotting away!
The Ziwei Holy Land set a trap for Li Lan using the Zhuanxu Underworld, so they must know everything that happened.
"It's not us... it's the immortals from the Primordial Emperor Star."
The Holy Maiden of Ziwei spoke in a trembling voice. This was one of the biggest secrets within the Holy Land, but she couldn't care less about that now. She said, "Nüba... it was the immortal Nüba who did it."
Female demon!
Upon hearing these two words, Li Lan was immediately taken aback.
Nüba is also well-known in ancient legends on Earth. It is said that she was the daughter of the Yellow Emperor. When the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou, she helped the Yellow Emperor fight against Chiyou's wind and rain masters. Wherever she went, there was a great drought, so she was also called "Hanba" (drought demon).
She's still alive? And she even attacked Zhuanxu's underworld?
"You're not the only one who can gain the approval of the underworld..."
Xin Yunhe continued, "Among the first batch of Earthlings who were guided to the Ziwei Star Region, one was chosen by the gods. He had exceptional talent, and Nüba led him to the Zhuanxu Underworld, where the demon god Zhuanxu passed on his own scriptures to him..."
"That man's name is Li Daozhi."
Li Daozhi!
Li Lan was completely unfamiliar with this name and didn't recognize it. He asked, "Is Li Daozhi currently in the Ziwei Sacred Land?"
"Do not."
Xin Yunhe shook his head and said, "He is a chosen one of the gods, so... he went to the divine realm."
Divine Realm!
This is very troublesome.
With Li Lan's cultivation level, he can currently run rampant in the mortal realm, but if he were to truly reach the realm of gods... it might not be enough.
"However, he might come back to the mortal realm..."
Xin Yunhe said, "The Immortal Nüba has been rebuilding the path back to the Primordial Emperor Star. She is hiding in the belly of the Dalian Mountains, building an altar. All kinds of resources have been secretly supplied by the Ziwei Holy Land. That path may be nearing completion because she sent a message saying that we should collect Earth's geniuses from various forces and send them over as blood sacrifices to open the altar..."
"At that time, Li Daozhi might also return from the Divine Realm and head to Earth..."
"I've told you everything I know... Please don't kill me..."
He was genuinely afraid, so he didn't keep anything to himself.
After all, the punishment of the cycle of hell is the worst in the world. Even the gods of the divine realm in the past could not withstand it, let alone him.
"very good."
Li Lan said calmly, "I will let you go."
With a wave of his hand, the power of reincarnation surged forth, and Xin Yunhe suddenly let out a shrill scream.
"what--"
The sound echoes through the cycle of reincarnation.
Soon after.
Li Lan emerged from the cycle of reincarnation, tossed the unconscious Xin Yunhe to Zhuang Shenmo, and said, "Sell him."
"Sold?"
Zhuang Shenmo was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Guardian, this person is extremely talented. Once he returns, he may become a great threat to our Holy Sect."
"Don't worry, he's become mentally impaired and will never achieve anything in his life," Li Lan said calmly.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
Zhuang Shenmo was overjoyed and said, "Guardian, just you wait and see, I will definitely sell him for a good price!"
He grinned slyly, clearly having come up with some wicked scheme.
……
After settling the members of the Demonic Sect in, Li Lan ordered the elders to lie low for the time being, and then he left alone.
His target was the "Dalian Mountains" that Xin Yunhe had mentioned. This mountain range was located in the center of the Ziwei Starfield, not too far from the Ziwei Holy Land, but it was rife with miasma and teeming with poisonous insects and strange beasts, so few cultivators could venture deep into it.
Li Lan activated his full divine sense, exploring everything in the mountain. After seven or eight days, he finally found traces of a teleportation array.
This teleportation array is built deep in the mountains and is extremely hidden. Along this teleportation array, there is a wide mountain road that leads directly to seven mountain peaks in front of you. The seven mountain peaks are like a lotus flower, and the depths within are unfathomable.
Li Lan approached cautiously, trying his best to conceal his aura. After all, Nüba was here. As the daughter of the Yellow Emperor and the legendary goddess of drought, her cultivation was definitely not weak.
Although Nüba was also one of the immortals who came from the Primordial Emperor Star, Li Lan was not foolish enough to regard her as a kind person. Over the ages, people's hearts are more easily changed. Not everyone is as steadfast and resolute as Bodhidharma. He must be wary now!
On the way to the seven mountain peaks, he encountered a group of people. He quickly hid in the forest, only to find that the group was actually a group of zombies, all with blue faces and fangs, walking stiffly. They headed towards the teleportation array, took out various strange stones and spirit stones sent by the teleportation array, and then turned back towards the seven mountain peaks.
Li Lan followed them and silently approached. Before long, he witnessed an extremely shocking scene!
The seven mountain peaks resemble lotus flowers, and in the middle, a "lotus platform" has been built by human hands. The entire lotus platform is made of various rare materials, and at its core are several radiant stones used to mend the sky!
There wasn't a single living person in the construction site. All those responsible for the work were zombies. There were ordinary zombies that hopped around, white zombies that walked like the wind and were covered in white hair, and flying zombies that flew around the world and guided the energy of heaven and earth!
Li Lan could tell at a glance that this was a vast altar that used the power of the earth to communicate with the heavens!
Its exquisite craftsmanship and immense scale are truly beyond comprehension.
Is this the ancient road leading to Earth?
Li Lan pondered. To avoid alarming Nüba, he only used his Heavenly Eye and did not use his divine sense to investigate, so he did not know Nüba's exact location.
"According to Xin Yunhe, once this place is activated, people from all the major star regions and forces will come. At that time, there might be opportunities to fish in troubled waters..."
Li Lan pondered for a moment, then stepped back.
He stood guard at the altar, hundreds of miles away.
Clearly, when the teleportation array is in operation, it will cause fluctuations in the space between heaven and earth. These tiny fluctuations will also affect that exquisitely crafted altar, which is why it was built hundreds of miles away.
Li Lan guessed that if anyone came from outside, they would definitely be transported through this teleportation array, and he could just wait here.
However, if people came, he would need an opportunity to make his move and blend into the crowd. So he carefully examined the area and found a dangerous peak with scattered rocks on the way to the altar. Li Lan had an idea.
He searched the Dalian Mountains and soon captured a ferocious beast, a striped spirit tiger with double pupils in its eyes, which had reached the realm of spiritual enlightenment. After subduing it, Li Lan used the technique of controlling beasts to make it lie dormant on a dangerous peak, and secretly activated the water pulse to cleanse the foundation of the dangerous peak.
After doing all this, he lay low in silence. During this time, the teleportation array delivered supplies four or five more times, all of which were retrieved by the zombies. In the blink of an eye, almost a month had passed.
Today, the teleportation array suddenly flashed with light and people moved about. Li Lan took a closer look and was slightly surprised!
An elderly man with white hair arrived, leading a group of young men and women, and among those young men and women... there were quite a few familiar faces.
Ling Xuewei, Liu Guiyuan, Zeng Rou, and other Earth cultivators from the Dao Palace, along with several hundred others from other forces, were present!
--Back when the Ziwei Grand Gathering took place, the Ziwei Holy Land used the name of the "Blue Star Alliance" to demand that all major powers hand over the Earth cultivators. Little did they know, they were also planning to take over the altars of this place.
"Where is this place...?"
Where are we being sent?
The faces of everyone wore expressions of fear of the unknown.
Since the Ziwei Grand Gathering, they have been under the guard of the Ziwei Holy Land, and everyone is in constant worry. Now they are even more uneasy.
"Walk."
The white-haired old man spoke softly, then continued along the wide mountain path.
Ahead was a no-fly zone, and the group walked quickly like ordinary people. Before long, they had passed a dangerous peak. Just as they arrived, they suddenly heard a tiger's roar from the peak, and a terrifying tiger had already charged down!
"Awooo--"
The tiger pounced directly on the crowd.
"Dare you!"
The white-haired old man was startled and immediately struck out, slapping the tiger with his palm. He was a highly skilled cultivator, a master of the Four Symbols Simultaneous Evolution Realm, and instantly sent the tiger flying backward, crashing heavily into the precipitous rock wall.
Boom!
This precipitous peak, constantly eroded by flowing water, was now further affected by the shockwaves from the battle between the two, causing it to collapse instantly!
"careful!"
The white-haired old man's expression changed. At this moment, the cultivation of these Earth cultivators was sealed, and they were unable to resist. He hurriedly formed a light barrier to resist the rolling mudslide and other debris.
About half an hour later, the billowing dust finally stopped.
"How could this be..."
The white-haired old man frowned; he had just encountered such a thing.
Fortunately, the tiger's cultivation level wasn't too high; otherwise, the fierce battle with him would have affected the altar in the mountains, which would have been a serious problem.
"go!"
He led the group forward, and Ling Xuewei and the others trudged through the rocks, while at the very back of the group, a young man silently followed.
"Yang Yin, slow down..."
Someone spoke to him from the side. The young man, called "Yang Yin," looked up, nodded, and said with a hint of fatigue, "Thank you."
He breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease.
This person is none other than Li Lan, who has infiltrated the group!
In the instant the tiger attacked and rocks tumbled down, he swiftly replaced one of the men in the group.
No one noticed anything unusual.
Fortunately, the people escorting these people were not experts above the Three Realms of All Things realm; otherwise, it would have been quite difficult for Li Lan to sneak in.
Fortunately, the woman hiding behind the altar was not paying attention to these trivial matters outside; otherwise, he would have been at risk of being discovered.
……
Following the crowd, they soon entered the center of the seven lotus-shaped peaks and saw the enormous altar.
"what is this?"
"Those are zombies... how can there be so many zombies?"
"Flying zombie? Is that the legendary flying zombie? I've heard that once you reach that level, you're impervious to blades and spears, and water and fire cannot harm you. You're practically immortal?"
The people of Earth were all deeply shocked.
"Reporting to the Immortal, the people you requested have been delivered by the Bi Sect, a total of two hundred and seventy-eight people—"
The white-haired elder had already bowed respectfully.
Instantly, a beam of light descended from the altar, enveloping Ling Xuewei, Li Lan, and everyone else, who then vanished from their spot.
