Chapter 446 Strange Phenomena in the Mortal World
"The one who has broken through the Dao... is Li Lan?"
The three elders who emerged from the ancestral mountain also looked surprised.
Under their scrutinizing gazes, Li Lan made no attempt to conceal himself and directly released a slight amount of his Dao aura!
An extremely mysterious aura emanated from him, and in an instant, all the experts in the arena were shocked.
"What kind of Great Dao is this? It has never appeared in this world before."
"It is neither any of the supreme paths, nor the path of existence of the ancestral gods... Could it be that he created a method of cultivation that transcends both the path of nothingness and the path of existence?"
"Impossible. Throughout history, countless geniuses have been unable to break through the two major cultivation systems. Even the Heavenly Emperor only reached the pinnacle of the path of existence back then. Now, Li Lan hasn't even reached the Immortal realm yet, how could he possibly have such abilities?"
The seven great clans' ancestral demons, the heavenly demons, and others all had many doubts in their eyes.
Li Lan's Daoist aura was something they had never seen before.
"It transcends ignorance, it seems to be something forged from the fusion of countless principles... How could it be like this?"
The three elders who emerged from the ancestral mountain were also extremely shocked.
After all, they originated from the other side, and their lineage was ancient and their status was far superior to that of the original races. Therefore, they could see some traces of it.
However, it is equally impossible to fully understand how Li Lan's Great Dao was formed.
"Indeed, a Breakthrough Awakener!"
Although they couldn't figure it out, they were now completely certain that Li Lan was the peerless genius who had led them to the Gate to the Other Shore.
"No wonder, no wonder Ruoxi wanted to cooperate with this person... He is indeed of great significance to our clan!"
An elderly man in plain clothes couldn't help but speak up, his words already carrying a hint of appreciation for Chu Ruoxi's actions.
"Indeed, with the help of a Dao Breaker, our clan's hope of returning to the other shore is greatly increased..."
Another elderly man in plain robes also whispered, a hint of fervor already appearing in his old eyes.
Even the purple-robed elder, who had been furious just moments before, took a deep breath and said, "It's actually a Dao Breaker... Such a momentous matter is one that the three of us cannot easily decide."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ruoxi, you take Li Lan and come back to the clan with us. The elders of the clan will decide this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruoxi did not object and said, "Okay."
Li Lan nodded calmly.
All of this was part of a plan that he and Chu Ruoxi had already devised long ago.
He had considered concealing his identity and infiltrating the Chuyuan Clan under a false name, but that was pointless. The strongest members of the Chuyuan Clan possessed extraordinary cultivation, and it wouldn't be easy to deceive them.
Moreover, if Li Lanruo did not display unparalleled cultivation and talent, how could he change the Yuan Chu clan and make them rethink everything about the Other Shore?
He was gambling on this trip!
If he wins the gamble, he might actually be able to form a strong alliance with the Yuan Chu clan. From then on, he would have something to rely on, whether it's his growth and cultivation or his future fight against the Other Shore.
Even if he loses the bet... Li Lan, with his influence over the Great Dao fortune of the Primordial Clan, will most likely be able to escape unscathed.
"Three elders!"
But at this moment, Chu Ruolin suddenly spoke, her voice trembling slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with fear and resentment, she said:
"Since you cannot decide this matter, could the First God ask you to provide initial treatment? Perhaps it might still be of use to our race..."
The moment Li Lan's identity was confirmed, she knew she had no chance to compete with her sister.
Now, the only hope is that the elders of the clan, because of their hatred for the Heavenly Emperor, will drive out and kill Li Lan.
At that time, she will still be able to secure her position and glory with the help of the First God.
This is the last glimmer of hope.
The purple-robed elder pondered for a moment, then nodded and immediately waved his hand, sending a ray of clear light into the body of the First God.
The First God was heartbroken and on the verge of death. But when he received this ray of clear light, a wondrous life force flowed through his body. Before long, he coughed a few times and slowly recovered.
"Great! One God, you're still alive!"
"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior!"
"Our clan's pride... cannot die like this."
The ancestral demons of the First Clan were extremely excited, and many of them kowtowed to the purple-robed elder.
Let's go—
The three elders who emerged from the ancestral mountain paid no attention to the First Clan and immediately led Chu Ruolin, Chu Ruoxi, and Li Lan back into the ancestral mountain.
Li Lan stepped onto that wondrous, illusory path. In an instant, he felt as if he had entered another world, a world that was now separated from the original world by a layer of barrier!
The light on the illusory path shifted, and his figure, along with Chu Ruoxi and the others, quickly disappeared from before the First Clan's ancestral mountain.
They have already left.
"The Dharma Proof Conference has actually caused such a stir... I wonder if Li Lan's entry into the Ancestral Mountain is a blessing or a curse!"
One of the ancestral demons spoke with a sigh, his words filled with worry.
“Li Lan is the descendant of the Heavenly Emperor. If he gains power, it will be of no benefit to us.”
"Don't worry, with the seven ancestral emperors here, and since Li Lan is going to cooperate with Chu Ruoxi, he can no longer attack us."
"That's true. Perhaps in the future, Li Lan and we might become allies, but it's also possible that the seven Ancestral Emperors will directly take action to eliminate him..."
The people of the seven major clans were discussing it.
They weren't particularly afraid, just regretful and sentimental.
"Our clan's geniuses are considered invincible, but they encountered such an anomaly... so it is an honorable defeat."
"That's right. Throughout history, only one god has ever been able to fight against a Dao Breaker."
"Don't be discouraged, your opponent is not Li Lan."
There were also some older figures comforting the talented young members of the clan.
Compared to the regret of the seven major races, the truly grim-looking ones at this moment were... the nine Eternal Kings who had rushed from the Eternal True Realm!
"Fellow Daoist Dongya, what... should we do?"
Xishan's face turned ashen.
The others also looked very unhappy.
If Li Lan enters the Ancestral Mountain and gains its approval, then they are doomed!
To be frank, there is no life-or-death hatred between the seven major clans and Li Lan.
With the seven ancestral emperors around, Li Lan probably wouldn't be able to take drastic measures against the seven clans.
However, these nine were different. They had betrayed the Heavenly Emperor and enslaved the Eternal True Realm for countless years. They even tried to poison Li Lan, almost killing him.
As Li Lan grows up, he will definitely settle scores with them whenever he has the chance.
Will the ancestral emperors of the seven major clans suppress Li Lan for their sake?
Certainly not!
Therefore, how could the nine people not be worried?
"Once this child rises to power, we can rest easy!"
"Even if the beings in the ancestral mountain harbor no ill will towards us, if they allow it to grow, Li Lan will likely become another Heavenly Emperor..."
"We need to make plans early!"
They were all somewhat regretful!
They could only watch helplessly as Li Lan gradually reached a point where he was beyond their control...
Dongya, too, gazed intently in the direction of Zushan, remaining silent for a very long time.
"First, go back to the Eternal True Realm, catch that cat and that dog, and then grab the Heavenly Emperor Sword!"
He finally spoke.
Upon hearing this, the other Eternal Kings all changed their expressions and then nodded in agreement.
Their relationship with Li Lan is irreconcilable; since that's the case, they need to be prepared...
Big Black Dog, Cat, and others all have close ties with Li Lan. By getting close to them, we'll have enough leverage in the future!
Immediately, the nine Eternal Kings departed—
……
The path is deep and secluded, as if traversing through time and space, turning over the barriers of the world, and finally what appears before your eyes is a vast chaos.
This place is now a chaotic land outside the primordial world.
If it weren't for the Yuan Chu clan leading the way, no one could have reached this place.
Not to mention the risk of losing one's way, the pressure and resistance within the chaos alone would be enough to pulverize even a powerful being of the Heavenly Demon level.
Throughout history, only ancestral gods like Pangu have been able to support the chaos and create the world.
In the vast chaos ahead, a faint glimmer of light appeared. As it drew closer, it was discovered to be a continent floating amidst the chaos!
Above the land, auspicious clouds swirled, and five-colored rays of light illuminated countless things, with Taoist charm lingering and never fading away.
The earth was teeming with spiritual energy and essence, and exotic flowers and plants grew everywhere. Any one of them, if placed in the primordial world or the eternal true realm, would be enough to make the ancestral demons bow down and beg for it.
The rivers flowing between the earth possess amazing power; a single breath of their waters is invigorating and nourishes the life on this floating land.
On this floating land, among some mountain peaks, mysterious chanting sounds spontaneously arise. These are natural scriptures born from creation, naturally formed and extremely wondrous!
Moreover, the aura of primordial matter can be felt everywhere. The primordial matter that had long been hollowed out in the primordial world grows everywhere here in the grass and under the tree roots, coexisting with the earth and endlessly regenerating.
……
This place is a true pure land for spiritual practice!
Even Li Lan, who had experienced countless things, was astonished when he suddenly saw such a world.
The resources here are far too abundant!
An inexhaustible supply of the essence of the five elements, an endless supply of primordial matter, all sorts of rare and exotic flowers and herbs, readily available Daoist scriptures, and divine light and Daoist charm permeating the world...
Even a pig, placed in this world, would probably naturally grow into a giant-level creature, right?
"Is this what the other shore looks like?"
He couldn't help but whisper.
In the eyes of the world, the other shore symbolizes eternity and means absolute freedom. No longer subject to the test of time, one is freed from the sea of karma and calamity, and attains great freedom and transcendence.
However, no one has ever seen the other side; it's all just a legend.
Even now, he vaguely understands why the other side possesses such great magic.
"No,"
Beside him, Chu Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Years ago, our clan fell from the other shore, and a corner of the other shore also fell with our clan. After countless years, the divinity of this floating land is less than one-tenth of what it used to be..."
"The true other shore is a thousand times more wondrous and ten thousand times more prosperous than this place!"
Her words also carried a longing!
Li Lan couldn't help but sigh again.
In this light, the other shore truly can be considered a paradise on earth and a sacred place for spiritual practice.
But why is the scene seen through the Gate to the Other Shore so terrifying?
Why did these originally sacred beings turn into indescribable, rotten monsters?
Why is this supposedly sacred and pristine land filled with death and evil?
What exactly happened on the other side?
Even the marks left by the Heavenly Emperor and the Ancestral Gods could become a seal on the entire Other Shore World.
I don't know.
This must contain a monstrous cause and effect, an unimaginable catastrophe.
