Chapter 447 Old Friends on the Other Shore
Chapter 447 Old Friends on the Other Shore
"He succeeded; he has already broken through to immortality."
Not long after, Chu Hao entered the cave and spoke.
"A good thing, aren't you happy?"
The elder brother, Chu Dao, crawled out like a spider, and gave a sinister smile.
"This child's extraordinary phenomena are astonishing. He has evolved over a hundred Great Daos, and in the end, he has achieved the strongest extraordinary phenomenon in the mortal world."
Chu Hao couldn't help but sigh, saying, "This child's talent and potential are unparalleled throughout history. If he can grow up, he might truly be able to protect our clan and become our clan's pillar in the future..."
As a clan elder, how could he possibly not consider the future of the clan?
Li Lan's potential has indeed begun to interest him.
“My clan doesn’t need geniuses, nor does it need powerful backers. Once we reach the other side, all of us can enjoy eternity. Do you still care about these things?”
Chu Dao spoke coldly, then added, "The other shore has already agreed to give a portion of the bodies and souls of those who break through the Dao, in exchange for the Dao Seed of Immortality!"
"However, this boy's breakthrough to the Immortal Realm is so terrifying. It seems his value can be increased again. One Longevity Seed is not enough... I can ask them for three!"
"Second brother, your immortality is right before your eyes, are you still going to hesitate?"
"Or perhaps you willingly transform into a monster like me, so that Li Lan, as you say, can grow up and protect the descendants of my clan?"
His words carried a hint of sarcasm.
Chu Hao pondered for a long time before finally nodding and saying, "Soon, this boy will emerge from seclusion, and then I will hand him over to you."
……
Inside the cave.
Li Lan held his breath and focused his mind, guiding the dissipated energy back into his body.
His forbidden world has been fully unfolded, and now within this world, the "Heavenly Dao" has been formed!
"The path of the mortal world is the way, and everyone is like a dragon!"
Li Lan spoke slowly, revealing that this was the path he had ultimately chosen.
In his forbidden world, all living beings can gain corresponding insights and principles from the Heavenly Dao. They only need to work hard to cultivate themselves to achieve their goals!
He reflected all the laws and techniques he had comprehended into the Way of Heaven.
He had previously conceived the idea of creating a paradise to save all living beings.
Now, we have finally taken the first step.
And he has officially entered the realm of immortals.
The power of the entire world merges with his own, and from then on, the effects of time on him will be weakened, and his body and soul will become almost immortal!
At this stage, combat power surges even more. The immense power of the entire world is reflected upon the cultivator through the Heavenly Dao. In battle, even a casual strike unleashes the power of an entire world.
Who can resist?
Moreover, Li Lan's mortal world is so terrifying, boundless, and teeming with countless beings; its power is unimaginable.
He had already fought against the immortals during the war between the two realms, and had once used the magical artifacts of the demon gods to slaughter hundreds of immortals from the Eternal True Realm.
From his current perspective, those immortals... are all too weak.
Now, killing ordinary immortals would be a piece of cake for him!
"I wonder if it's even possible to shake the supreme one?"
A thought flashed through his mind!
After immortality comes supreme.
The Supreme Dao is considered the highest in the Eternal True Realm. Even the nine Eternal False Kings are only at the Supreme Realm. They are only higher than ordinary Immortal Kings because of the faith of all living beings!
Above the highest is the legendary realm—the ultimate Dao!
When the Way is exhausted, one becomes the Great Emperor.
After the Great Emperor, there was truly no path left to follow; he stood at the very top.
However, as Li Lan crossed the boundary between existence and non-existence and comprehended all the myriad paths, reaching the realm of immortality, he vaguely glimpsed whether the paths of this world truly had an end.
However, there's no need to ask now; we'll eventually reach that point.
"Luckily, we came to the Chuyuan Clan's territory..."
Looking back on the process of breaking through the barrier, he couldn't help but feel quite fortunate.
The amount of primordial matter he consumed to break through to the Immortal realm was enormous. If he were in the primordial world, it would take forever to gather enough.
Moreover, the power of creation here is more concentrated, which also provides him with some assistance.
Then he got up and left the gate.
Pushing open the door to the cave, one could see that many people were already waiting outside.
"Congratulations to my clan's son-in-law on becoming an immortal!"
Such a great path will surely be recorded in history!
"Well done, Li Lan!"
Many elders and young geniuses of the Chuyuan Clan have been waiting here for a long time, especially the younger generation, many of whom are practically on a pilgrimage.
After all, the immortal path that Li Lan walked was destined to leave a strong mark in the annals of cultivation history, and they could all be said to have witnessed history!
“I was worried that many people in the clan would not be able to let go of their hatred, but now it seems that I was overthinking it.”
Chu Ruoxi walked over, smiled slightly, and said, "They admire you very much."
Even she was somewhat surprised. Of course, she knew that the Immortal Realm was no match for Li Lan, but she didn't expect that Li Lan's breakthrough would be so powerful.
"Where are the clan elders?"
Li Lan asked, although he had changed the opinion of most people in the Chuyuan clan, in the end, it was still the few elders who could decide the direction of the clan.
"Don't worry, now that you've become my clan's son-in-law, you should forget about the past—"
Before Li Lan could finish speaking, an aged laugh rang out, and the two Grand Elders, Chu Meng and Chu Tian, arrived together. Chu Tian approached and patted Li Lan on the shoulder, saying:
"Well done!"
Chu Meng also said, "We have already looked into it. In another month, there will be an auspicious day. At that time, we will hold a wedding for you and Ruoxi. Although your love is stronger than gold and you are already husband and wife, you are the successor of the Heavenly Emperor and Ruoxi is the Holy Maiden of our clan. We cannot be so hasty, haha!"
Their attitude completely changed.
Li Lan also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Now that Li Lan has become my clan's son-in-law, he should pay his respects to my clan's ancestor."
At that moment, Chu Hao's voice also came; he had arrived, his expression calm.
“That’s right, elder brother is right. From now on, Li Lan is a member of our clan, and that’s only right!”
"To be recognized as a member of the clan, if our ancestors were alive today, they would be proud to know that our clan has such a talented son-in-law!"
Everyone else also spoke up.
"Come with me."
Chu Hao spoke.
Then Li Lan immediately followed him.
The two left their tribe's territory and soon arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Li Lan glanced at it and immediately understood: this mountain was the ancestral mountain connecting the seven major clans, a key place for absorbing the fortune of the seven clans.
The ancestor of the Chuyuan clan should be buried here.
The massive stone gate at the foot of the mountain opened, and Li Lan followed Chu Hao into the dark passageway. Before long, a barrier lit up, and when Li Lan saw the barrier, his heart sank.
Around him, astonishing auras emerged, locking down his escape route.
At the same time, the barrier had been opened, revealing a gloomy scene: piles of bones, a chilling aura, and an ominous presence...
Li Lan almost instantly imagined the scene on the other side!
Without hesitation, he turned and left!
"Trying to escape?!"
Chu Hao let out a cold shout and grabbed directly with his large hand.
His cultivation was even stronger than that of the Heavenly Demon. In an instant, all the surrounding space was locked down, and no matter how strong Li Lan's talent and cultivation were, he could not escape.
Li Lan's expression changed. He activated his Great Dao, and instantly, a vast forbidden world appeared behind him. It was the mortal world, from which endless karma surged forth to resist Chu Hao's attack.
Boom!
Li Lan was so shocked that he vomited blood, but he managed to barely stop this attack that surpassed even the Heavenly Demon.
"Um?!"
Chu Hao was surprised. There were countless steps and insurmountable barriers between the Immortal and the Heavenly Demon realms, yet Li Lan was able to survive a single blow.
The Great Dao that this child has proven is truly astonishing!
"I underestimated you, but it doesn't really matter."
Chu Hao spoke coldly, "Even if Li Lan is strong today, he can't turn the tide."
He attacked again, trying to capture Li Lan. Li Lan was already injured, but she still gritted her teeth and summoned a Great Dao Treasure Furnace. Flames of all living beings emerged from it, surging and surging, rushing towards Chu Hao.
"Um?!"
When the Flame of All Living Beings arrived, Chu Hao actually felt a strange threat.
The strange power within him stirred, as if it could no longer be suppressed.
"This thing can actually threaten me? Unbelievable."
Chu Hao was even more surprised, but with a wave of his sleeve, he blocked the flames that threatened to engulf the world.
As long as his soul is not ignited by this fire, he has nothing to fear!
Li Lan's methods were indeed alarming, but ultimately his level of skill was still insufficient.
You can't hurt him!
Li Lan quickly retreated, but the space was locked, and he was pressed against the wall with nowhere to go.
"Elder Chu Hao, why do you do this?!"
Li Lan asked in a deep voice.
"Hehe, why is that? In the past, the Heavenly Emperor injured my brother and oppressed my people. You are his successor, so why ask again?"
Chu Hao said coldly.
"Just an excuse."
Li Lan shook his head and said, "Elder Chu Hao, you've raised a monster here. Aren't you afraid that this monster will eventually harm your entire Yuan Chu Clan?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Hao was slightly surprised. Li Lan had actually figured it out?
"They're quite clever..."
From the depths of the dark cave, a hoarse yet sharp voice echoed, and a monster that moved like a spider appeared before Li Lan.
Li Lan instantly stiffened, "Indescribable..."
This monster looks very much like the messenger in the Gate to the Other Shore!
However, his condition was better; he hadn't completely rotted or lost his mind.
"Brother, you shouldn't have come out now."
Chu Hao said something.
According to the original agreement, he was supposed to take Li Lan down first and then send her in.
After all, the existence of his elder brother was a top secret and should not be known to the world.
What is there to fear?
Chu Dao coldly replied, "Years ago, I was injured by the Heavenly Emperor and had no choice but to embark on this path. Now that his successor has arrived, wouldn't it seem impolite of me not to come out and properly receive him?!"
His eyes were filled with resentment and malice!
“Boy, if you have someone to blame, blame yourself for not being the successor of the Heavenly Emperor, for not becoming a Dao Breaker… Since you have already been targeted by the Other Shore, your death is inevitable.”
"Don't worry, I'll only devour a part of your body. Your internal organs and soul have already been reserved for the beings on the other side, hehe..."
"What the Heavenly Emperor owed me back then, you are the only one who can repay now!"
