Chapter 156 The Power of Cat Hair
Upon entering this cavern, Li Lan was somewhat dazed; the place had completely changed.
A massive amount of earth energy and source energy surged in, naturally forming a burial site. The source energy liquefied into a pond, where Longbao was happily swimming. If you didn't look closely, he looked like a big goldfish.
The surrounding area was shrouded in mist and clouds, exuding an aura of sacredness.
It truly is a celestial abode!
"The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix has been found."
Li Lan cut to the chase, addressing the lazy cat directly: "She said you suppressed the source for hundreds of thousands of years?"
The cat got up, stretched, and said, "Once, we blocked the source and had a chaotic meowing massacre. I was in charge of meowing, and the others were in charge of the massacre."
Li Lan: "..."
What kind of description is this? Does it mean that the cat has become so domineering that it can't help at all when it's with that person?
"Where is that person?" Li Lan asked.
The cat gave him a lazy glance. "If you ask, you have to bear the consequences. Are you sure you want to ask?"
Li Lan: "..."
"never mind."
Li Lan said, "So, what use is it for you to find the Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix?"
"The deaths of their clan were mysterious. She has some karmic connection to this. Perhaps she can help me find some of the truth."
The cat didn't avoid it.
Li Lan asked again, "Then why don't you go see her?"
The cat countered, "If you find her, her karma will naturally verify many things for me. Why do I need to see her?"
The cat's level was too high, and the cause and effect it touched upon were far beyond Li Lan's current ability to understand, so he stopped asking and said, "I'm going to take a trip into the gray fog."
"You're not good enough to change anything right now," the cat said bluntly.
“I can’t, but that dog can.”
Li Lan smiled and said, "Can you tell me about that dog?"
……
Not long after.
Li Lan left the Land of a Thousand Rivers, his destination being the Ten Thousand Mountain Range!
After passing through several teleportation arrays, he finally arrived.
Along the way, Li Lan saw panicked people in every city he passed through.
With the border breached and the fate of Dugu Jiansheng unknown, many people began to flee the northern frontier.
Upon arriving at the Wanyuan Mountain Range, he discovered that the mines there had all been abandoned.
This place was once the largest mine in the Northern Frontier, with branches of various forces. Every day, large quantities of immortal essences and raw stones were transported out of here.
However, the Li Clan's Tengshe Water-Taking Formation will gradually devour everything in the Wanyuan Mountain Range, making it pointless to stay here.
In the midst of desolation, Li Lan once again found the Zhu family's mine.
He entered alone and activated his Earth Eye, clearly seeing that the energy within the earth's veins was slowly dissipating.
"The mining ghost is still around!"
Not far away, Li Lan heard the roars of the mine ghosts. These creatures seemed to be stimulated by the loss of source energy. Even though no living people had entered, they were still moving around, exuding an astonishingly eerie aura.
Li Lan was completely fearless. With a thought, he activated the immortal technique of the Stone Clan, and a layer of stone skin naturally appeared on his body.
This stone skin was more useful than any other stone garment. He walked past several mining demons, who acted as if they couldn't see him at all.
He also arrived at the spot where the blood had been released. Now, the blood had become a pool of blood, in which strange creatures were being gestated. Pale humanoid hand bones occasionally emerged from it, shocking Li Lan.
He drifted by unnoticed.
Beyond the cave hall lies the Dragon-Slaying Platform. Further along the platform is a corridor shrouded in gray mist. Upon entering this area, Li Lan clearly felt an increased pressure, as if something was repeatedly caressing his stone skin, trying to penetrate inside.
This gave Li Lan the creeps, but he gritted his teeth and pressed on.
When he arrived at the secluded place of the Great Sage Luo Tian again, he was covered in sweat.
The Great Sage Luo Tian did not awaken. His state was very strange. Within the gray mist, there seemed to be a green life essence being generated. He seemed both eerie and sacred.
The Great Sage Luo Tian has been fighting against the gray mist for countless years. If he truly succeeds, his Dao attainment may be astonishing.
He did not disturb the Great Sage Luo Tian and continued to advance.
Before long, he finally saw a huge palace.
The palace was empty except for a magnificent throne, and on the throne, there was indeed only a single black dog hair!
That single dog hair emitted a strong, grayish odor.
Li Lan pressed forward under pressure, approaching the dog hair as he reached out to take it. But at that moment, in a daze, he seemed to see a huge black dog lying on the imperial throne. Its fur was all white, surrounded by countless gray mists, panting heavily, and its eyes were lifeless.
"Woof... I can't wait any longer... I'll leave a single dog hair here!"
Li Lan seemed to hear the big black dog's whispers, and then the illusion disappeared. Li Lan picked up the black dog fur.
As soon as he got the dog hair, Li Lan felt like the stone skin was about to explode. His heart was pounding so hard he could barely stand it. Just then, another white hair suddenly appeared in his hand and pressed down on the dog hair!
In an instant, the dog hair became obedient, motionless, and even the eerie aura seemed to have disappeared!
"Sister Cat really knows how to control that big black dog!"
Li Lan was overjoyed.
He quickly retreated, still covered in dog hair.
This time, before he could even activate his stone skin protection, the mining demons and the like actually avoided him from afar. Even the pool of evil blood was completely calm, without a single ripple.
……
After leaving the Wanyuan Mountains, Li Lan quickly headed to the border.
"The Venerable One once said that the gray fog is not without a solution!"
While passing through a large city, Li Lan revealed his true form and spoke publicly:
"Qianchuan Li Lan, break through the gray fog!"
The world is in a state of panic, and he needs to appear in person to inspire people!
This statement shocked the world.
"Your Majesty..."
"Qianchuan Li Lan, the only person in the world who has seen the Mingzun Demon Soul, could it be that the Mingzun really passed something on to him?"
"That's for sure. Otherwise, how could Li Lan, a mere mortal from the Abyss Realm, have achieved what he has today?"
Today, Li Lan is a prominent figure in the northern frontier, attracting widespread attention, and his words have spread far and wide.
"Li Lan is going to fight the Gray Mist?"
"He's just a minor immortal, how could he possibly break through the gray fog?"
"Too arrogant! Even his protector, Dugu Yibai, is missing, his fate unknown..."
The world is watching!
……
And this moment.
"Li Lan".
In the Lingxiao Palace, on the thirty-third heaven.
Xun Yuan Tianjun received the secret report sent back by Gu Ling, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He passed the Bloodline Immortal Gate, founded the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan, rescued Dugu Yibai through the Dragon-Fighting Platform, suppressed the Blood Source Lineage, rewrote the situation in the Northern Frontier, and his Immortal Tribulation shocked the entire Northern Frontier. Now, a Great Sage has become his protector.
When the envoy Lin Ruoxue told him about this person, he didn't pay much attention to it.
But now... they've suddenly started to take it seriously!
This child has only been in the Immortal Realm for a few years, yet he has suddenly emerged and is already almost a force to be reckoned with!
"Master, the envoy has arrived."
At this moment, one of his disciples came to report.
Xun Yuan Tianjun immediately stood up and said, "Please—"
Before long, a figure entered the Lingxiao Palace; it was Lin Ruoxue!
"The arrival of this extraordinary envoy brings great honor to my humble abode, Lingxiao Palace. May I ask what I wish to teach you?"
Xun Yuan Tianjun spoke.
Lin Ruoxue asked calmly, "How are your preparations going?"
Xun Yuan Tianjun said, "The situation is about to be resolved. The major forces in the Immortal Realm have been shaken by the gray fog offensive in the Northern Frontier, and many people are already willing to follow us down that path."
Lin Ruoxue said, "Only by offering sacrifices to the faith of the entire world can the supreme authority of the gray mist be achieved."
Xun Yuan Tianjun nodded: "The time for a world-wide joint sacrifice is not far off. However, there is a matter that requires the help of the envoy."
Lin Ruoxue said, "Speak."
"Does the Strange Envoy still remember Li Lan you mentioned? He has indeed entered the Immortal Realm, and has now become the patriarch of the Abyss Clan, making quite a name for himself in the Northern Frontier... Heh heh, now he claims to be the inheritor of the Bright Venerable, and has even declared that he will shake the power of the Gray Mist in the Northern Frontier..."
Xun Yuan Tianjun smiled and said, "Now everyone in the world is watching. This boy has obtained the inheritance of Mingzun, so he is a banner. If he doesn't fall, I'm afraid the hearts of the people will not be extinguished."
Upon hearing the name Li Lan, a ripple finally appeared in Lin Ruoxue's calm, beautiful eyes...
So that person really didn't die?
Even though so many years have passed, she still feels a stirring in her heart when she mentions that name. The image of her rushing towards the Mingzun Demon Soul in the gray mist is truly like a brand.
"It was him."
She sighed softly.
"I understand, he... I'll handle it."
Her face was ultimately devoid of any emotion.
