Chapter 403 Ancestral Demon Realm
"It seems no one is willing to make a move anymore."
Dongya Fanyue stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "Then Wu Heng will be my successor."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and could only sigh.
Before strength, all resentment and unwillingness are meaningless.
If Li Lan only possesses some kind of Dao, then no matter how strong he is or how high his realm is, there will eventually be someone who dares to fight him.
But Li Lan has already shown some of the beginnings of an ignorant person, and has grasped the true meaning of three Great Daos... This is enough to make his peers despair.
“Fellow Daoist Chiling, I will stay in the clan for a few more days. During this time, Wu Heng will remain on the island to continue his cultivation.”
Dongya Fanyue spoke, then got up and left.
"Wu Heng, I'll come visit you again in a few days!"
Dongya Xiaoxiao also spoke up, and after she finished speaking, she left with her aunt.
After everyone left.
Congratulations, Senior Brother Wu Heng!
"From now on, Senior Brother Wu Heng has a bright future ahead of him, which is also a great blessing for Celestial Master Island!"
"Indeed, Senior Brother Wu Heng will surely soar to great heights in the future!"
In an instant, many young disciples in the crowd took the initiative to step forward and speak.
Regardless of what happened before, Li Lan's selection by Dongya Fanyue has destined her for a limitless future, so it's best to establish a good relationship in advance.
Li Lan was merely being polite and indifferent.
……
"grandfather!"
After everyone dispersed.
Chi Ling Yi Shi's face was extremely ugly as he looked at Chi Ling Heng Tian and said, "Are we just going to let this go like this?"
He was extremely unwilling to accept it!
The chief disciple of Celestial Master Island and the successor of Dongya Fanyue—both of these opportunities should have belonged to him.
In the end, Li Lan, who should have been cannon fodder, has taken all the credit?
Furthermore, Li Lan has become the successor of Dongya Fanyue, which means that he will soon leave his family and go to the royal court. At that time, who will he go to for that demon furnace?
It might even fall on his head!
He was quite resentful. His grandfather's choice to pass on that demonic technique to Li Lan was a terrible move.
It was a complete loss, both the wife and the army!
Chi Ling Hengtian was also extremely gloomy. He remained silent, gritting his teeth and pondering for a very long time.
"No, no way!"
He stood up, a ferocious glint in his eyes, and said, "Even if it costs me my old life, I will not let you be sent to the Demon Realm!"
Chiling Yishi was his only bloodline, and he absolutely could not watch his grandson sacrifice himself.
"So what if Wu Heng is amazing? Once he's dead, everything will be for naught. Dongya Fanyue will choose a new successor, and you will still be the top disciple of Tianshi Island!"
He seemed to have made up his mind.
Upon hearing this, Chi Lingyishi immediately perked up.
……
The next few days.
"Wu Heng, you have been valued by Fellow Daoist Dongya Fanyue. From today onwards, you must accelerate your cultivation."
Chiling Hengtian found Li Lan and said, "Otherwise, if you go to the royal court, with your current strength, you will not be able to gain a foothold."
“On Celestial Master Island, there is a secret place that will be of great benefit to your cultivation of this technique. However, this place has never been open to ordinary people. Even the other two elders do not know about it. Do not make a fuss. I will take you there.”
He spoke with a smile, appearing as a kind and benevolent elder.
Li Lan hesitated for a moment, then followed him away. Before long, the two of them entered an underground palace on Tianshi Island.
As soon as they entered the underground palace, Chiling Hengtian waved his hand and closed the door. Li Lan immediately sensed a vast array of magical power.
The chilling aura seemed to emanate from the earth's core; the temperature inside the underground palace was extremely low, and the dragon oil lamps on the niches of the palace emitted a dim light.
And ahead, inside the palace, were countless demon skeletons!
There were hundreds, even thousands!
"Demon Realm!"
At this moment, within Li Lan's sea of consciousness, Houtu Thirteen was already speaking excitedly.
"Demon Realm?"
Li Lan was puzzled.
"Indeed, the Demon Realm!"
Houtu Thirteen excitedly said, "Wherever there is an Ancestral Demon, a Demon Realm will naturally evolve. This place is very likely the burial place of an Ancestral Demon... No, perhaps that Ancestral Demon is still alive!"
"The so-called Ancestral Demon is comparable to the Immortal King of the Eternal True Realm, but its strength is so great that it can crush any Immortal King!"
Li Lan couldn't help but feel a chill.
However, the Dongya royal family was once one of the nine great clans that followed the Heavenly Emperor. They were able to stand in the Eternal True Realm for countless years and were at their peak. It is understandable that they would suppress demons of the level of Immortal King underground.
"Is it Fifth Aunt...?"
At this moment, Xing Luoyuan spoke in a daze, sensing a familiar aura.
His fifth aunt!
"You mean... the Five Elements Goddess?!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Shisan was even more astonished, muttering, "Back then, she roamed the world, and at only nine hundred years old, she attained the Dao of the Ancestral Demon, and was hailed as the woman most likely to become the Primordial One..."
Upon hearing this, Li Lan couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.
He naturally knew that the Ancestral Demon was equivalent to the Immortal King.
Even in the Eternal True Realm, where geniuses abound, it would take at least three to five thousand years to reach this level!
This woman only used nine hundred years?
This is truly defying the heavens!
"If she hadn't mistakenly entered this realm and encountered the Heavenly Emperor back then, she would probably be standing at the very top of the primordial world by now..."
Houtu Thirteen couldn't help but sigh. Even though he wasn't a member of Xingluoyuan's clan, he still knew the legend of this legendary celestial maiden.
"This aura...it's her...there's no mistake!"
Xingluo murmured, but a hint of worry crept into his eyes:
"Her aura isn't as strong as before... Is she injured?"
"Those below the Immortal level are relatively unaffected by the Heavenly Emperor's power of merit, but those above the Immortal level will continuously decline and lose their Dao Fruit..."
He murmured.
In the past, the Heavenly Emperor had aspired to eliminate all immortals and eternal beings in the world. Although he did not succeed completely, the demons he suppressed would still be restrained by this power of merit.
"Could you please release my fifth aunt?"
He suddenly turned to Li Lan and said, "If you rescue my fifth aunt, my entire clan will owe you a favor!"
Although the Heavenly Emperor has passed away, the power of his merits will continue for a long time. The longer his fifth aunt is suppressed, the more severely her energy is depleted, and the more difficult it will be for her to return to her original state in the future.
His fifth aunt was once regarded as the pride of the entire clan. If she can be rescued, it will be of great importance to the entire Third Clan!
Upon hearing this, Li Lan pondered for a moment and said calmly, "If there is a heart to repent and do good, there may still be a glimmer of hope."
Xingluoyuan nodded and continued:
"The magic array here must be for suppressing the demon realm... I understand now, the cultivation technique that Chiling Hengtian gave you must be the legendary Furnace Transformation Technique!"
"The Furnace Transformation Technique uses a suitable physical body as a furnace to guide the remnant soul of the Ancestral Demon back. They probably intend to use you to guide the remnant soul of my Fifth Aunt... However, this technique is extremely mysterious even in the Primordial World. How did the Eastern Cliff Royal Family obtain it?"
Li Lan pondered for a moment, and now, the doubts in his heart had been completely resolved.
No wonder Chiling Hengtian was so enthusiastic towards him; it turns out he wanted to hand him over to the demons of this place...
However, he has now been accepted as a successor by Dongya Fanyue, and the other party still dares to take such a risk... which is quite bold.
"Young friend, how is it?"
At this moment, seeing Li Lan remain silent in thought, Chi Ling Heng Tian smiled and said, "This place may look a bit gloomy, but it contains the aura of the Great Dao!"
"These demon corpses are the source of all kinds of laws in the world. If you cultivate here, you can become ignorant much faster!"
He was just fooling around.
"In that case, thank you very much, senior—"
Li Lan smiled.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
Since there is a demon realm here, we should naturally explore it!
The place where the Ancestral Demon resides must contain a great deal of primordial matter!
Therefore, the treacherous demon realm was actually a place of opportunity for Li Lan.
However, there is a magic array blocking the way, and the entrance to the Demon Realm is sealed by the underground palace. To enter the Demon Realm, Chiling Hengtian will need to break the seal.
As for Chiling Hengtian, it was clear that he would only be thrown into the furnace after Chiling Hengtian had successfully mastered the Furnace Technique.
For now, all I need to do is quietly cultivate and pretend that I have already succeeded.
After saying that, he immediately stepped forward, sat cross-legged among the skeletons of the demons, and began to cultivate.
He activated the Furnace Transformation Technique, and wisps of black mist appeared around him, swirling around him.
"The progress is indeed much faster—"
Chi Ling Hengtian nodded and said, "Young friend, I'll help you!"
After he finished speaking, he began to activate the formation. From the countless demon skeletons in the underground palace, chilling malice surged toward Li Lan!
This place is where the Eastern Cliff King suppresses demons, and the skeletons of these demons are all of extremely high origin, almost no less than the Thirteenth Empress Houtu. Therefore, the malice of these demons is immense.
Li Lan accepted all comers, absorbing all the evil malice of the demons into his body, and then condensing it into a sword of malice within his sea of consciousness.
"How terrifying would a sword of malice formed from so much demonic malice be?"
Houtu Thirteen were all shocked when they saw this.
"If this sword is successfully forged, it could probably pose a certain threat even to immortals..."
Xingluo was about to speak when he looked at the Red Ridge Sky outside and shook his head.
The other party is quite a cunning old fox, treacherous and treacherous. It's a pity that they had to scheme against such a freak as Li Lan.
……
There is no sun or moon in the underground palace, and no one knows how much time has passed.
"As expected of a purification master with the potential to become ignorant!"
Chi Ling Hengtian wiped his sweat, looked at Li Lan, and his old eyes were filled with complex emotions.
There was regret, joy, and surprise...
He originally thought that with Li Lan's current cultivation level, he could at most absorb the malice of two or three demon skeletons.
However, more than 300 bodies have already been absorbed!
What is this concept?
Even for him, an immortal-level purification master, absorbing so much demonic malice would probably cause him to collapse, his soul to become unstable, and he to lose control of himself.
But what about Li Lan?
He remained as still as a mountain, like an abyss, still sitting there cross-legged, his breathing steady!
Is it possible that the other party's purification ability has no upper limit?
No wonder, no wonder he was able to glimpse the Way of Ignorance from the Furnace Transformation Technique. Such talent and innate ability are truly the best he has ever seen in his life!
"What a pity. If it weren't for this critical moment, perhaps I would have taken a liking to your talent and helped you rise to prominence..."
He sighed softly, shook his head, and then proceeded to unleash the malice of the other demons upon them.
Since it's already done, there's no going back.
Besides, if Li Lan doesn't die, it will be his grandson who goes to hell.
There was no other choice!
The demonic malice continued to surge forward, and a faint demonic aura had already formed around Li Lan, the Furnace Transformation Technique was beginning to take shape!
