Chapter 392 The Only One in All Time
Chapter 392 The Only One in All Time
Li Lan spoke calmly, and then Tu Shisan was stunned. Right, where did the primordial chains on Li Lan's body come from?
Those who can control this level of primordial matter must be giants!
"Dongya".
Li Lan said calmly.
"Dongya..."
Houtu Thirteen was shocked and said, "You were actually killed by the Eternal King? No, you are also a human, why would he do this to you?"
"Such unparalleled geniuses should be absorbed into their clans and used as tools for procreation!"
Although Houtu Thirteen was suppressed under the Merit Stele, she still knew about worldly affairs.
For countless years, the Eternal Royal Family and the Immortal Clan have been able to suppress the world not only through complete suppression, but also by absorbing truly rare geniuses into their ranks through marriage alliances.
Li Lan... shouldn't have done that.
"Not everyone in this world is like them."
Li Lan smiled.
Houtu Thirteen was stunned, then, as if realizing something, suddenly said, "I know... You, you are the successor of the Heavenly Emperor!?"
"No wonder you were able to draw upon the merits inscribed on the stone tablet erected by the Heavenly Emperor. It's because you and the Heavenly Emperor are of the same ilk; you have inherited his Dao!"
"Back then, the Heavenly Emperor almost cut off everyone's path, thus turning against the entire Eternal True Realm. His followers feared him, and naturally they would fear you as well..."
"If you grow stronger, the entire Eternal True Realm will cease to be eternal and immortal. The nine Eternal Kings will also lose their faith and the anchor that suppresses the strange forces within them. Therefore, to them, you are the greatest threat!"
Houtu Thirteen's expression couldn't help but be somewhat complicated.
At this moment, it seemed as if it saw the ancient era again, the Heavenly Emperor in his blue robes, wielding a sword in one hand, slaying through the entire universe, suppressing all the demons and monsters in the world, and even the Primordial Path could only tremble slightly in front of him.
The Heavenly Emperor has passed away, but there is still one of his successors in this world?
Even the primordial chains couldn't kill Li Lan?
This is ridiculous!
"If those people knew you were still alive, what a sight that would be..."
It murmured.
But then, as if it had suddenly thought of something, it said, "I can help you—"
"I can help you find other primordial substances and guide you onto the primordial path!"
Li Lan raised an eyebrow calmly and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"If one day you can truly reach a level like the Heavenly Emperor, a level that makes even the Path of Origin tremble, you will need to help me kill someone!"
It gritted its teeth.
Li Lan did not hesitate and said, "Okay."
He knew nothing about the primordial world, and since Houtu Thirteen could submit, he could naturally accept her!
"What about the cultivation system of the primordial world?"
Li Lan couldn't help but ask another question.
"It is no different from the Eternal Realm."
Houtu said thirteen times: "The stages of sealing, riding the wind, breathing soil... all the way to the astonishing realm, but what follows is the primordial state!"
"The only difference is that, because there is no primordial matter in the Eternal True Realm, you are no match for those beings in the primordial world who used primordial matter on the forbidden path."
"If you can collect the primordial things along the way, and combine that with your understanding of the Great Dao, and reach the supreme point, you will also be a prominent figure in the primordial world."
Li Lan nodded. It seemed that all he needed to do now was to keep searching for primordial matter.
"Oh, right, I have another question..."
Houtu Thirteen suddenly said again:
"How did you manage to fuse the primordial elements into yourself?"
"Could you teach me this method?"
Its tortoise eyes were filled with eagerness!
How terrifying was the primordial matter? Even the beings of the primordial world dared not directly melt it, for fear of causing misfortune and strange occurrences.
Even the nine Eternal Kings of the Eternal True Realm need the faith and incense offerings of the entire world to suppress themselves before daring to embark on that path.
But what about Li Lan?
He directly incorporated the primordial matter into his own life, without any ominous signs.
Simply outrageous.
Even within the original world, he would be considered an extreme anomaly and regarded as a genius.
"You did not purify the Celestial Master's bloodline; you accomplished this entirely on your own..."
It murmured.
In fact, this was the real reason why he made up his mind to follow Li Lan.
"Purification Masters can also perform smelting?"
Li Lan suddenly said.
"can!"
Houtu Thirteen said, "In fact, what you call the Purification Masters of the Eternal True Realm are also known as the Primordial Sons in the Primordial World."
"The primordial children are born without fear of the strange and ominous, and can withstand primordial power within certain limits, but... only within certain limits!"
"When you reach a certain level and absorb too much primordial matter, you will still be entangled by the strange."
"Apart from the Primordial Children, anyone else who wants to absorb primordial matter must find a suitable path, such as the Nine Eternal Kings who use faith to suppress themselves."
"How did you manage to do that?"
His words were extremely solemn.
If the beings of the primordial world knew that someone could melt the primordial essence without paying any price, they would probably go completely mad and cross over to capture Li Lan and study him thoroughly.
"Who says I didn't pay the price?"
But Li Lan smiled desolately.
"If you can stand between existence and non-existence, and use the will of Heaven to sever your own cause and effect, you will naturally be like me."
There are no shortcuts.
Li Lan was able to do this because he had already paid a price a hundred times worse than that of ordinary people!
Houtu Thirteen was stunned and incredulous upon hearing this.
"Standing between existence and non-existence, drawing divine will to sever cause and effect with a single stroke?"
It could tell that Li Lan was not lying, but this was still too astonishing.
The phrase "standing between existence and non-existence" alone represents a level that few in the world can reach.
Even the most exceptional genius, if they can comprehend a supreme Dao, is already enough to leave a glorious name in the annals of cultivation and attain the title of Immortal King.
The path to enlightenment is even more difficult. Throughout history, Nuwa, Pangu, Yu the Great, and others all paid a terrible price. The title of "ancestral god" carries even greater weight than that of an immortal king.
Who is proficient in both of these great paths and can stand between them?
Throughout history, perhaps only the former Heavenly Emperor could have accomplished this.
But that was the Heavenly Emperor, and when the Heavenly Emperor realized this, he was already standing atop the high mountain of cultivation, revered by the world.
What about Li Lan?
So young, yet his cultivation is far inferior to that of the former Heavenly Emperor.
He has already fully comprehended both the Way of Existence and the Way of Non-Existence? Who would believe that if this were told?
Moreover, this is only the first step!
The second step is even more astonishing: drawing upon the will of Heaven to sever all karmic ties. Throughout history, how many people have been able to do this?
We don't even know if anyone has tried it or succeeded.
Because those who succeed have inevitably disappeared from all the annals of history; cause and effect vanish, and nothing remains; no one knows of their existence.
Those who fail are reduced to ashes.
To achieve both simultaneously, throughout the entire primordial world and the eternal true realm, there is probably only one person who has done so.
"Truly a prodigy... unparalleled throughout the ages!"
Even the demon Houtu Thirteen couldn't help but sigh, her gaze towards Li Lan filled with complex emotions, and she even unconsciously showed some admiration.
It knew that although Li Lan was young, he was already destined to be renowned throughout the history of cultivation!
"Back then, several members of our clan were scattered by the Heavenly Emperor. I was suppressed, but the others hid in the Ancient Demon Mountain."
Houtu Thirteen no longer hesitated and made up her mind to follow Li Lan, saying, "They have even more primordial matter in their hands!"
Ancient Demon Mountain?
Li Lan's heart skipped a beat. He had heard people say that the four major families of Dongye Prefecture were plotting something when he was in the restaurant.
The reason for recruiting the Celestial Master is also for this matter!
It seems I should make a trip there...
Upon realizing this, he immediately opened his eyes.
Inside the Myriad Laws Pavilion, Xuan Yue Qian Tang, Gu Yi Jian, and Gongsun Mo Xuan were frantically attacking.
They all made great progress. In the midst of the frenzied battle, their blood was pumping, and the trials of life and death greatly enhanced their understanding of the Great Dao.
"How can she be so strong..."
Gu Yijian and Xuan Yueqiantang stared at Gongsun Moxuan in disbelief.
One of them was one of the three most outstanding talents in the Celestial Master Palace, and the other had received the inheritance of the immortal Xuan Yue Wu Ying.
However, her performance is now completely overshadowed by Gongsun Moxuan.
"What exactly is this inheritance?"
Gu Yijian found it outrageous. Could it be that Gongsun Moxuan also had a powerful background?
Xuan Yue Qian Tang felt a deep sense of frustration. She was the number one genius in the family and always had an aura of brilliance when she went out.
Now? Gu Yijian is almost on par with her, and Gongsun Moxuan, who suddenly appeared, can completely overwhelm her.
"It seems like I'm still a little short, I just can't get past that..."
Meanwhile, Gongsun Moxuan was deep in thought, gritting her teeth. In the process of circulating the Mo family's mental cultivation method, she vaguely grasped something, but she was unable to comprehend it.
This meant that the Mohist "Great Wall" method ultimately had its limits and could not withstand many attacks.
"The key to universal love lies in non-aggression."
At this moment, Li Lan's calm voice came, "Non-aggression means no aggression. Wherever the mind goes, all the enemy's attacks disappear. This is the highest realm of non-aggression."
The core principles of the Mohist school actually lead to a supreme path: non-aggression.
The so-called "no attack" means that wherever it goes, no enemy can muster any hostility and will be unable to attack. It is the great path among the supreme methods, and once mastered, it will be extremely terrifying.
"No attack?"
Gongsun Moxuan was stunned. She repeatedly pondered the two words. In an instant, her mind was filled with a great bell, and she suddenly understood, as if she had just broken through the clouds!
"No attack, that's a very difficult state to achieve, but perhaps I can try to treat their attacks as attacks first?"
"If it's not an attack, there's no need to stop it..."
She seemed to realize something, and suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Li Lan, and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu Heng!"
After saying that, she immediately turned around and stepped into the Myriad Laws Pavilion again. This time, she did not use the Mo Great Wall Technique, but instead wandered around and comprehended its secrets.
Despite facing constant danger, she always managed to glimpse something at the last moment and somehow evade all the attacks!
"This... he directly attained enlightenment?"
Gu Yijian stared in disbelief, then turned to look at Li Lan, his eyes instantly gleaming with eagerness, "Big brother, please give me some pointers!"
Xuan Yue Qian Tang also had a hint of eagerness in her eyes. She had completely realized that Gongsun Mo Xuan was not so remarkable, but rather because she had spent the most time with Li Lan and received the most guidance from him.
