Chapter 340 Deducing the Mortal Scripture
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed!
No one in the Golden Crow clan expected that the first seclusion after Xiaoyao Hou's rebirth would take so long.
However, no one dared to disturb them!
"Elder, I hope nothing has happened to my uncle."
Jin Chengyun was somewhat worried.
"will not!"
But Jin Cheng's eyes were filled with anticipation, and he said excitedly, "I can sense an astonishing power of the Golden Crow Clan flickering in the Marquis's secluded cultivation place. If I'm not mistaken, the day the Marquis emerges from seclusion will probably be a day that amazes the world!"
……
In the secluded place, in a secret room.
Li Lan lived each year as if it were a fleeting second, completely absorbed in his passion.
Today, he finally slowly opened his eyes!
For ten years, he sat cross-legged here, and his aura and Daoist charm had undergone astonishing changes. His temperament was peaceful and serene, returning to simplicity and authenticity, and no longer showed any signs of supernaturalness!
"The scriptures are indeed astonishing..."
For the past ten years, he has been immersed in deducing the scriptures, feeling every bit of their true meaning and every detail, constantly observing their birth and death changes, and discerning the most genuine secrets.
In ten years, he successfully pushed the mortal scriptures forward by two minor realms!
The five internal organs connect with the divine, followed by the four symbols arising together, the three giving birth to all things, the two polarities dividing light, and a single thought returning to the origin.
Currently, he has comprehended the two realms of Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird, and only lacks the two extraordinary phenomena of White Tiger and Black Tortoise to obtain the complete method of the simultaneous evolution of the four symbols.
Is the path he comprehended the same as the original version of the sutra?
he does not know!
But he had a vague feeling that the path he was on now was different from the path established by his predecessor.
He took the existing mortal scriptures as his foundation, based on the various laws he had observed and read over the years, repeatedly experimented with the fire of myriad paths, and used the origin of the divine king as fuel. The "new mortal scriptures" he finally created were actually completely in line with his own.
"There's no need to be overly reliant on the past and belittle the present. The paths taken by our predecessors are worth learning from, but if we completely confine ourselves to them, they lose their value!"
Li Lan's gaze was firm.
In fact, although he enjoyed reading history during his university years, he never thought that the ancients were much better than people today.
Every era has its own limitations.
It is often the illiterate who have no culture at all who are superstitious and believe in their ancestors, thinking that what their ancestors left behind is superior to everything in the world and invincible, because the illiterate have nothing else to be proud of except to find confidence in their ancestors.
In reality, what our ancestors left behind might have been considered valuable in their time, but it might be completely useless in later generations.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this critical thinking that Li Lan embarked on the path of creating his own Taoist tradition while in the underworld, drawing on the strengths of various schools of thought, and ultimately refining the "Fire of Ten Thousand Paths".
Now, facing the world-renowned Fan Jing, he once again approached it with a calm mind, deduced its principles, and finally obtained something that belonged only to him.
Even without the following three passages of scripture, I will continue on my own!
Li Lan was absolutely determined.
Then he got up and left the gate.
In fact, he could have continued his seclusion indefinitely. The divine king's essence was so vast that it was enough to support his enlightenment for hundreds of years!
However, this was a rule that Li Lan set for himself: to emerge from seclusion every ten years and keep abreast of what was happening in the world.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis!"
His emergence from seclusion caused a stir among the Golden Crow clan, and Elder Jincheng and others immediately came to pay their respects.
When they sensed Li Lan's presence, they were overjoyed.
Because he has refined too much of the essence of the God King, Li Lan now appears unfathomable. Even Jin Cheng, a master of the "Wood Life" realm, cannot sense the depth of Li Lan's abilities.
He could only guess that even if the Marquis's current cultivation level was not high, this pure and unpredictable aura signified that the Marquis had undergone an amazing transformation!
"In these ten years, has there been any news from the Divine Realm or the Mortal Realm?"
Li Lan asked a question.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, the competition among the various divine realms for the relics left behind by the Ancestral God of the Imperial Star and the Immortals is becoming increasingly fierce..."
Jin Cheng tactfully reported the news.
The frenzied excavation in the Divine Realm has uncovered the caves and ruins of many famous powerful figures from the Imperial Star, some of which have even sparked conflicts between forces within the Divine Realm!
"We possess quite a few relics left behind by the Imperial Star. As long as we preserve them, we will definitely be able to participate in the Reincarnation Conference after returning to the Divine Realm!"
Jin Cheng spoke as if seeking credit.
Li Lan, however, began to ponder for a moment.
He had learned about the "Reincarnation Conference" from the memories of the carefree monkey ten years ago.
The Reincarnation Assembly was convened by order of a God Emperor from the Divine Realm—the Solitary Heaven God Emperor!
In the decree of that God Emperor, all forces in the Divine Realm were required to collect the relics left behind by the immortals of the Emperor Star. At the Reincarnation Assembly, the immortals of the Emperor Star would return and be reborn with the help of these relics!
When this decree was first issued, it shocked the world.
After all, the Immortal Emperor of the Stars and the Divine Realm were once mortal enemies, fighting each other fiercely, to the point that the Divine Realm was almost destroyed...
Now, the emperors in the divine realm actually have the power to resurrect the immortals of the Emperor Star?
But later, more and more information was revealed.
The immortals of the Imperial Star who are resurrected through the Reincarnation Conference will be distorted and conquered. After their rebirth, they will no longer be enemies of the Imperial Star. On the contrary, they can become puppets and appendages of many forces on the Imperial Star!
This conclusion was reached after research by many god-king level beings.
Therefore, all the major forces in the Divine Realm went crazy for a time.
How powerful were the ancestral gods and immortals of the Imperial Star in the past? Now, as long as we find their relics, we will have the opportunity to revive them, and then, with the replenishment of powerful combat strength, we can also naturally obtain all their inheritances.
This conference may even affect the power structure of the Divine Realm.
Imagine if a faction found the remnants of a demon god or immortal king, and after being resurrected, that faction would immediately possess the combat power of a demon god or immortal king, leaping into the ranks of king-level forces.
Furthermore, the most powerful ancestral god exists within the Imperial Star; if one could obtain it, one could even dominate the God Realm!
Even if these beings are few in number and hard to come by, there are still a large number of Emperor Star Immortals. Obtaining them can greatly enhance one's foundation and strength.
That's why the major powers of the Divine Realm sent so many people to the mortal world. After all, the mortal world is still a vast untapped ocean, and many things left behind by the powerful emperors of the Emperor Stars have not yet been unearthed.
……
The Reincarnation Conference reminded Li Lan of Nüba once again!
She seemed to have been plotting to resurrect the immortals all along, and had already been collecting their relics long before the news of the Reincarnation Conference spread.
"I have quite a lot of stuff in my hands..."
Li Lan was quite fortunate, as he had looted the treasuries of all the major corporations before leaving the Imperial Star.
Although the Sanhe Group, the Li family, and others are weak in cultivation and limited in knowledge compared to the forces in the mortal realm and the divine realm, they have a unique advantage on Earth. They have basically searched all the famous mountains and rivers on Earth!
Now, all those things are in Li Lan's hands.
"Once we reach the Divine Realm, we must find out the truth about the Reincarnation Conference..."
A thought flashed through Li Lan's mind, and then he said, "Well done, keep collecting."
"Where is that holy maiden from the Cihang Holy Land?"
He asked a question.
He had another purpose for leaving the pass this time.
Help me, without desire!
