Chapter 211 A Strange Event Descends, and the World is Filled with Regret!
time flies.
A year is an incredibly short time for all beings in the celestial realm.
Throughout the year, people flocked to various temples to offer their blood and essence, while news of the ten savior couples having conceived children also kept circulating.
People revered the fetus conceived by Princess Zhuiyue and others as the "Sacred Fetus of Salvation," and all hoped that the arrival of the sacred fetus would bring a brand new path to the immortal realm.
In addition, there are reports of pregnancies resulting from marriages between ancient demonic apes, yakshas, and other races and humans, with over a hundred holy infants born in each of the various races.
……
Within the Yuan Clan, however, all was in solemn silence, with everyone in seclusion, almost completely cut off from the outside world.
The Abyss Clan all know that the path of mutation will inevitably lead to destruction, so everyone is cultivating frantically!
Li Lan was also constantly comprehending the Dao. Back then, the big black dog tricked the Supreme Dao Immortal Emperor out of 200 million catties of immortal essence. When Li Lan broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he consumed 30 to 40 million catties of it. The big black dog then took away the divine essence from it. The remaining 60 to 70 million catties were all left to Li Lan.
His understanding of the Great Dao deepened, but his realm did not continue to break through.
Because the nascent flame of myriad paths that he condensed needed other great laws as fuel to continuously advance.
"I'll go to the Refining Array again if I have the chance!"
Li Lan had high expectations for the refining array from back then. Taihong Tianzun had placed the remains of many ancient clan ancestors in it, extracted their imprints, and left behind a lot of techniques. Even if they weren't as strong as the 109 peerless masters on the Bridge of Life and Death, they were still "nourishment" for his Myriad Heavenly Flames.
He awoke from his state of enlightenment and then checked on the status of the others.
Besides Long Bao, Bai Ruoling, Jin Muyun, Li Yue, Liu Ziwen, Zhu Xianchou, Jian Yinyue, Jian Yingzhou and others are all currently in seclusion here. After all, this is where cats live, which is extremely beneficial for cultivation.
"Not bad, he's almost a saint."
Long Bao seemed to be asleep in the source liquid pool, undergoing some kind of secret evolution.
Bai Ruoling and Jin Muyun are both comprehending the forbidden techniques belonging to their clans. As for the guiding technique, they have already successfully cultivated it, but Li Lan has not yet guided them.
Li Yue, Zhu Xianchou, and others are all close to the realm of great power.
In fact, the Qianchuanyuan Clan has developed extremely rapidly.
However, given the current situation, it still appears too weak!
"Alliance Leader, there are currently 193 large and small forces in the Thousand Rivers Land and the surrounding Tianzhen State, with a total population of over 7 million."
After they emerged from seclusion, Luo Yan, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, and Lin Ruofeng of the Sword Sect, among others, came to report.
-- A year ago, faced with the turbulent situation, Luo Yan and others strongly advocated for the formation of an alliance to attract ambitious people from all over the world.
And they revere Li Lan as their leader!
Li Lan agreed, and so the "Immortal War Alliance" came into being. At first, this alliance was just the original pro-war faction plus forces such as the Thousand River Abyss Clan, and was very small.
However, over the past year, Luo Yan and his companions have traveled the world and recruited anyone they encountered who was unwilling to follow the path of alienation into the alliance.
The Immortal Realm is vast. Although most people follow in the footsteps of the Immortal Court, there are also some clear-headed individuals who gradually gather around the Land of a Thousand Rivers. At first, it was only a small number, but later, as more and more people gathered, their reputation naturally spread.
As a result, many people came to vote on their own initiative.
Because of the presence of the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect, coupled with the intimidating presence of Li Lan's identity, not a single temple was built in the entire Tianzhen Prefecture, making it a unique phenomenon in the entire Immortal Realm.
Of course, this also led to their stigmatization.
In the Immortal Realm today, all forces refer to Tianzhen Prefecture as the "Land of Abandoned Saints." As the name suggests, this is a place where the Dharma bodies of the Ten Great Salvation Couples cannot stand and will eventually perish.
Even some of the original forces in Tianzhen Prefecture avoided these four words like the plague and hurriedly moved away.
Therefore, Tianzhen Prefecture has now become the headquarters of the Immortal War Alliance!
All the cultivators in the world who do not believe in the path of alienation have come to this place.
Millions of people is not a small number.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Li Lan was quite pleased with this and said, "The path of alienation will soon begin. I would like to trouble you all to strengthen the defenses around Tianzhen Prefecture and to set up more formations, etc."
Li Lan wasn't afraid that someone would attack Tianzhen Prefecture amidst the chaos; on the contrary, he was worried that those forces currently pursuing the path of alienation would use Tianzhen Prefecture as a sanctuary and rush over there.
To avoid chaos, preparations need to be made in advance.
"We have already used the Primordial Divine Source that the Alliance Leader cut out to construct a great array. Relying on the Thousand Rivers Land, it is extremely powerful. Even if an Immortal Venerable came, he would not be able to break through it in a short time."
When Sect Leader Luo Yan spoke, she was quite confident.
Their cultivation level was certainly insufficient to achieve this, but this place was originally set up by the Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix, which was only extended using the Primordial Divine Source, so it was not that difficult. Moreover, the power of the formation also increased greatly with the Primordial Divine Source!
Li Lan nodded, then left his secluded retreat and traveled around the northern frontier to learn about the latest developments.
"The Holy Maiden Jiu Xin of the Kunpeng Clan is due to give birth next month!"
"That's wonderful! This is the first Holy Infant to be born!"
"Let's go and offer another prayer, and then we can offer some more of our life essence. Only then will we receive protection!"
Nearly a year has passed, and after ten months of pregnancy, the ten celestial maidens are almost ready to give birth.
Besides the ten clans, the Primordial Demon Ape Clan and others who married human women are also about to have children.
The entire immortal realm was bustling with activity from top to bottom. The world was thriving, and everyone was filled with anticipation and hope, as if victory had already been achieved and there was no longer any threat of life or death.
"Hehe, our entire clan has dedicated hundreds of kilograms of our essence and blood, and has been worshipping us for a year. Even if the gray fog really comes, we will be protected!"
"Haha, us too! In that time, we will be the subjects of the Holy Embryo!"
"Our clan worships Princess Zhuiyue and her sacred fetus. Hmm, we need to hurry this month and offer up more of our essence and blood!"
In any restaurant, you can find all sorts of people discussing it.
"Seriously, there are still people heading to Tianzhen Prefecture now, actually going to that Forsaken Land of Saints, they're practically courting death!"
Some people also brought up the matter of Tianzhen Prefecture.
"What's there to say about those idiots?"
"Yes, these kinds of people think they're sober, but they'll be the ones who die in the end."
"That Li Lan is a delusional fool, daring to become the leader of the Immortal War Alliance. Heh... It won't be long before we can see him make a fool of himself."
In the eyes of the world, the existence of the Immortal War Alliance is truly a joke!
Li Lan remained calm and composed, showing no signs of inner turmoil.
In his view, these people were no different from the dead!
"One month later, one hundred holy babies will be born. All believers should go to the temple to pray together!"
When the news arrived, the restaurant was in an uproar.
"Only one month left!"
"Quickly, notify the clan and get to the temple immediately! If we're too late, we might only be able to stay on the outskirts!"
"Yeah, it's about grabbing a spot!"
In the restaurant, everyone hurriedly left, heading towards their respective factions, leaving only Li Lan in the blink of an eye.
"Sir, aren't you leaving?"
The servant came over, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "The manager said we're also getting ready to close up shop and are heading to the temple..."
Restaurants are closing down to grab a table!
People generally believe that the closer one is to the statues of Princess Zhuiyue and others in the temple, the more blessings one will receive.
Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, checkout."
He left behind a few pieces of immortal essence, then picked up the wine in his hand and casually sprinkled it on the ground, as if offering a sacrifice!
"What do you mean by this, sir?"
The servant was puzzled.
Li Lan said, "Let us offer sacrifices to the dead of this world, and to the foolishness of this world."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lan disappeared. He had passed through this noisy world and returned to the land of a thousand rivers.
He finally woke up Bai Ruoling and Jin Muyun.
"What's wrong? Have they given birth yet?"
Bai Ruoling said somewhat absentmindedly.
Li Lan smiled and said, "Soon, come with me, let's prepare to receive you!"
Immediately, the two women followed him into a secret hall!
This meeting is extremely important, so the three of them need to work out together beforehand.
……
Before I knew it, a month had passed.
……
"Reporting to Master, all the sacred embryos are currently in excellent condition. With the help of the essence and blood of cultivators from all over the world, their aptitude and bloodline are so powerful that they are unparalleled throughout history!"
In the Celestial Court, Gu Ling reported to Xun Yuan Tianjun, her expression showing some excitement.
The main reason is that those sacred embryos are truly extraordinary. It can be said that they are being nourished by the power of the entire immortal realm. Therefore, although they have not yet been born, they have already manifested various extraordinary phenomena.
Each one of them is an absolute genius, a rare talent whose brilliance would shake the world.
"very good."
Xun Yuan Tianjun smiled and nodded, letting out a long sigh of relief, and asked, "How is the situation with the Qianchuan Yuan Clan?"
Even at this final moment, he still did not forget Li Lan!
He will never be able to rest easy until this child dies.
"Tianzhen Prefecture has become a land abandoned by the saints, but it has gathered some forces, numbering in the millions..."
Xun Yuan Tianjun sneered and said, "There are still people following him? Fine, no need to worry about it. The path of mutation is right in front of us. Once we succeed, Young Master He Jin will naturally kill him!"
"Have all the Holy Embryo Mothers prepare themselves. I'm going to invite my Master!"
He immediately got up and entered a celestial palace that no one else could approach.
--Since obtaining the Stone of Authority a year ago, the Supreme Immortal Emperor immediately went into seclusion here to gradually take control.
"Master, the Path of Alienation can now begin!"
Xun Yuantianjun bowed.
After a long while, a figure finally emerged from it, and that figure was actually accompanied by wisps of gray mist, which made people's hearts tremble!
"Congratulations, Master, on successfully taking control of the Stone of Authority!"
Xun Yuantianjun was extremely excited.
The Supreme Immortal Emperor nodded. Over the past year, he had finally succeeded; his life form was gradually approaching that of a bizarre being…
However, he always felt that during this process, there was some kind of power within the Stone of Authority that seemed to be seeping into his flesh and blood, his cultivation, and even giving him the illusion that he could not control himself...
If the Black Emperor hadn't said that this was the necessary path for a flesh-and-blood being to transform into a bizarre being, he would have thought he was possessed by something, or even about to be turned into a puppet...
Next, once the various holy embryos are born, the strange creatures descend, and the transactions with the various beings in the Origin Realm are completed, he will completely possess the authority of the Gray Mist, and this feeling will disappear!
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, Xun Yuan Tianjun and his figure vanished instantly, and the next moment, they had already arrived at Yaochi.
In the land of Yaochi, the rosy clouds shone brightly, and the air was filled with abundant blood energy. Within the hundreds of blood pools, Princess Zhuiyue, Jiuxin, Qianqian and other celestial maidens from ten different clans, as well as women who had conceived through union with other ancient demonic apes, yakshas and other clans, all sat cross-legged.
Those blood pools are formed from the essence blood sent from various temples in the Immortal Realm, and are the nutrients for the Holy Embryo to grow!
