Chapter 195 Too Early
Chapter 195 Too Early
In the bridal chamber.
The ten most beautiful women have all been defeated!
They were all subdued by Li Lan and thrown onto the bed, piled up like a human pyramid. The noble ladies had completely lost their composure, their faces pale and they looked extremely disheveled, with their long white legs crossed and their bodies lying across the bed.
"You devil, you devil..."
Bai Ruoling of the White Tiger Clan couldn't help but tremble. Her eyes were filled with fear. Just now, her White Tiger Divine Power of Heaven and Earth had actually been forced by Li Lan to shrink to the size of a cat. Li Lan had even squeezed her into a cat ball!
"Too brutal, a violent maniac."
Qingqing from the Five Elements Heavenly Kui Clan still has a swollen bottom, and tears are falling in fours.
"How...how did you do that?"
Jin Muyun of the Golden-Winged Roc clan gritted his teeth and said, "Have you ever seen the laws of our various clans?!"
Her cultivation was powerful, and during the battle, she had already discovered some problems...
Li Lan was extremely familiar with the laws of their respective ethnic groups!
It's as if they know exactly where the flaw lies.
But how could that be? They cultivate forbidden clan secrets, core inheritances, which humans could never possibly know.
"Your laws are far from being extremely forbidden; they are too weak."
Li Lan said calmly, "If you all reach the point of extreme prohibition, perhaps you can... force me to actually take action."
After saying that, he got up and left, saying, "Three months to master the Guiding Technique, or I will divorce my wife."
Only this sentence was left behind.
A group of privileged young women were indignant at this moment, but there was nothing they could do.
"We gave him so much dowry, and he still wants to divorce us?"
"That's outrageous!"
They were born into privilege and had never been threatened like this before.
……
Return to the secluded retreat at Baidi Peak.
Li Lan checked and found that Long Bao's cultivation progress was good. Once he finished refining it, Long Bao should be able to as well.
After all, the guiding method it cultivated was far less complex than Li Lan's. It simply aimed to make itself a "coordinate," with their bloodline inheritance pointing Li Lan in the direction of their ancestors, and their karmic connection with Li Lan guiding Li Lan back to his homeland. That was all.
He continued his seclusion, with a vast amount of immortal energy around him, and began to comprehend the method of guiding spiritual energy!
"Although the guiding method consumes a huge amount of immortal energy, it's like taking a giant leap forward ahead of schedule..."
Li Lan was already exploring the rules that only a Great Sage could comprehend while he was still at the Free and Unfettered Golden Immortal realm, which would definitely be of great benefit to his future cultivation!
To put it simply, when he fought against the goddesses of the ten races today, he clearly felt that the laws of each race were transparent and full of flaws in front of him.
As the saying goes, one must observe a thousand swords before recognizing a weapon. Once he has grasped the profound mysteries of the rules of space and time, ordinary spells will truly become very, very simple in his eyes...
……
Time flies.
After Li Lan's wedding, the Immortal Realm enjoyed a rare period of peace.
The Celestial Court, the Primordial Forbidden Clan, and the major human forces are all eagerly awaiting Li Lan's guiding method.
Therefore, all kinds of struggles and conflicts subsided.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
On this day, Li Lan slowly awoke from his state of enlightenment.
His state was incredibly mysterious. Although he was sitting in the same spot, the manifestation of the spacetime rules around him made him seem extremely distant.
Even Longbao was surprised and rushed over, pawing at Li Lan with its little paws, but found that it could not touch her.
Li Lan was right in front of it, smiling at it, but it couldn't grasp or touch her, as if separated by a distance of time and space.
"OK OK."
Li Lan finally spoke, reaching out to pat Long Bao's head, and then returned to normal.
He was in a very good mood because he had finally mastered the method of guiding others.
Now, he can clearly sense the flow of spacetime rules in the present world and even invoke the power of these rules!
"If one can activate the rules of spacetime to protect oneself during battle, then one can truly be immune to all spells."
This is the biggest gain!
In the process of exploring the rules of spacetime, he gradually became able to penetrate into the spacetime rules. In this way, the spacetime rules were like an outer garment or a veil, which could isolate him from the surrounding space.
The reason why Longbao could see him but couldn't touch him was because of this.
Of course, due to his current limited strength, he can only penetrate into the rules for one or two breaths at most, which is extremely short. Moreover, his penetration is also very shallow. If he were to face an immortal or saint who has comprehended the power of the Dao, it would be nothing more than a trivial skill and would be of no use.
But it might be a divine skill even when facing a carefree Golden Immortal or a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
"Twenty-three million Immortal Essence..."
Looking at the consumption again, he still couldn't help but feel the pinch.
Methods like the Guide Method consume tens of millions of kilograms of energy!
Now, he only has about seven million catties of immortal essence left.
In addition, there were more than 100 kilograms of divine energy that he had not used; these were strategic resources he left behind.
In just a few days, he had become almost numb, as if the massive amount of immortal energy was nothing more than a string of numbers...
"Oh dear, I thought you had disappeared..."
Long Bao said, "I've finished refining it, now I can help you."
It has mastered the method of using itself as a coordinate and has been waiting for Li Lan for the past few days.
Upon hearing this, Li Lan immediately perked up and said, "Great!"
After months of arduous practice and spending tens of millions of dollars, this is arguably the most time-consuming and laborious method Li Lan has ever practiced. Now, he can finally give it a try!
"With blood as our guide, we traverse time and space to trace back to our true ancestor!"
Longbao sat in meditation and then activated his guiding technique. At that moment, wisps of yellow smoke seemed to appear around him, enveloping him in a mysterious and profound way. Behind him, a murky and blurry scene appeared.
The scene was difficult to discern, filled with too many fragmented lights and shadows, as if it contained the light of a world's destruction, the blood of annihilated life, and broken struggles and wails...
Li Lan remained completely calm as he took a step towards the scene. His figure instantly vanished from the secluded cultivation area and entered the shattered scene!
A path appeared beneath his feet!
Longbao used its inheritance to awaken the space-time where the True Ancestor was located, and Li Lan entered it!
At this moment, Li Lan was not in a hurry, but instead sensed her surroundings.
Surrounded by scenes of bygone eras, each scene represents a piece of history, and touching upon them could trigger a storm of time that is difficult to bear!
He looked back and saw that the area behind him was also submerged by a massive amount of spacetime fragments, making it almost impossible to find his way back!
Only by sensing with the heart can one perceive that thread of cause and effect that has not been severed by the passage of time.
No wonder the guiding method requires two people to work together.
Once the causal ties originating from the present world are severed, even if a celestial being were to arrive, they would only become lost!
He steadied himself and continued forward.
Amidst countless fragments of time and space, a faint, ethereal flame guided him forward.
That is the flame of Long Bao's bloodline inheritance!
As Li Lan moved forward, he also observed the fragments of time and space that flowed past him.
Within a fragment, he vaguely heard endless wails, as if a massive amount of gray mist was engulfing everything, causing a world to collapse, its rules to decay, and heaven and earth to crumble. Countless beings desperately tried to escape, but in the end, they all turned into blood...
"Is this a civilization that was once destroyed?..."
Li Lan murmured.
Throughout history, how many civilizations and races have existed in the universe?
Looking back now, a fragment of spacetime represents a once-thriving civilization that eventually faded into obscurity!
With just a thought, Li Lan could enter those eras.
Like traveling through time.
"what is this?"
Suddenly, he sensed a pale yellow wisp of smoke drifting toward him from within the fragment in front of him.
He cast a spell, but he was powerless to resist it. The smoke, like maggots clinging to his bones, quickly enveloped him!
"Why are you able to live...?"
"Why must we perish..."
"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"
At that moment, Li Lan suddenly felt a splitting headache, and he understood what it was!
The vengeful spirits of bygone years mentioned in the ritual of guiding souls!
The so-called vengeful spirits of time are born from civilizations within the passage of time!
When a pristine land for all living beings is destroyed, when a flourishing civilization is extinguished, when the catastrophe of annihilation arrives... the people will be filled with resentment!
This resentment originates from the vast mortal world, from all living beings, their joys and sorrows, their fears and anxieties, their unwillingness to accept defeat, their dying roars... which will endure through the years, forming countless resentful souls of time.
As living beings pass through the years, the vengeful spirits of those years will haunt them.
A single resentful spirit from bygone eras contains the cause and effect of a space-time and a civilization, enough to drive a Celestial Venerable mad and cause a Celestial Emperor to perish!
Because the world is utterly destroyed and all living beings die, it is a great tragedy and terror that no cultivator in the world can bear!
This is also a major reason why the method of induction was abandoned by beings in the source world.
It's easy to open the path of time, but who can enter it?
Who can bear the lingering resentment of a civilization's bygone eras? The cause and effect of a bygone time?
Nobody's here!
At this moment, Li Lan felt as if he had entered an endless sea of suffering. Around him were countless struggling souls, vying to cross the sea of suffering, all trying to pull him down and drown him.
Moreover, under the influence of the resentful spirits of time, Li Lan felt a sudden surge of sorrow, as if life had no meaning!
Even the most beautiful flowers will eventually wither, and even the most vibrant life will eventually come to an end. Death is the destination of all living beings, so what is the meaning of living?
He almost lost the will to resist, completely succumbing to the vengeful spirits of time and becoming a part of them.
"No!"
But, on the very last line, Li Lan suddenly unleashed a powerful will to survive.
"The common people should not perish!"
His voice resounded like thunder: "To live is to live. Spring flowers bloom, summer frogs croak, love and hate are the meaning, and life is a mix of warmth and cold, passion and excitement!"
"How can we extinguish our will? How can we face death!"
His will to live was like a soaring song, and his yearning for life was like wings that could soar into the sky. He actually flew up from this endless sea of resentful souls and did not fall into it.
But countless vengeful spirits also rose up with him at this moment, and he carried the vengeful spirits of the entire era on his back!
"One day I will ferry you all across!"
Li Lan spoke his mind frankly, and his promise resonated through the heavens!
In an instant, the lingering resentment of those bygone years vanished into silence, disappearing from his back.
However, Li Lan could sense that the resentful spirits of the past had only been temporarily appeased and returned to peace. These things... had already become intertwined with his own ocean of cause and effect!
What Li Lan just said is like a vow; if it is not fulfilled, a terrifying backlash will surely follow.
Is this the cause and effect of navigating the path of time?
It's truly suffocating!
Before even seeing the true ancestor of the dragon treasure, he already carried a piece of time and space on his shoulders!
How many more civilizations lie ahead that have been destroyed? How many vengeful spirits await redemption?
Unbelievable!
But Li Lan showed no sign of backing down, and he continued forward step by step.
