Chapter 241 Unimaginable Land
Chapter 241 Unimaginable Land
Inside the stone chamber of the River of Ten Thousand Corpses.
The coffin had transformed into a purgatory, and the power of reincarnation had been activated. Even the strongest experts could not withstand such pain and torment.
Because the cycle of hell is a sin personally set up by that being, capable of annihilating all living beings in the world.
"Let me go, let me go, please..."
The screams of agony and pleas for mercy echoed through the air.
Li Lan slowly retracted the Reincarnation Seal, and the power of reincarnation within the coffin ceased. Li Lan said, "Are you willing to talk now?"
What do you want to know?
Inside the coffin, the voice of Blood Nightmare, the leader of the Alien Alliance, was still trembling.
"Do you want me to ask again?" Li Lan said calmly.
Having been ravaged by the cycle of hell once, Blood Nightmare was now terrified and recounted many things one by one—
Nine hundred years ago, he made a pact with the leaders of the Immortal Alliance, the Longevity Alliance, and other alliances to explore the River of Ten Thousand Corpses!
After all, the fact that the River of Ten Thousand Corpses can resist the influence of the Origin Realm's power is enough to prove that there must be some extraordinary opportunity within it.
After entering this place and seeing these stone chambers, they deduced that this place should be the place where the Ten Yama Kings attained enlightenment when the old master of reincarnation created reincarnation. So everyone opened the coffins, hoping to find an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, after the coffin was opened, they were trapped inside and could not get out.
"This coffin is a reincarnation arena. Although it is incomplete, the power of the rules still exists. In the past, the Ten Kings of Hell all left after they had forged their authority. Therefore, we must also forge our authority before the arena can be opened... But we are strange beings and cannot forge the authority of reincarnation at all."
Blood Nightmare said, "Fortunately, there is still a stone of authority left here. So I used a secret method to have the people of the Alien Alliance take the stone of authority out of this place, find someone to refine it, and then send it back. In this way, after I successfully possessed the body, I will have authority, and the Coffin Dojo will open."
"I just never expected that they would actually find the perfect person from the Heaven-Mending Clan..."
His words were full of bitterness!
"Anything else?" Li Lan asked coldly.
“Within the War Alliance, Ji Yuan was my former disciple, so he naturally obeyed me. He planned to lure you here, but I set up a great formation to strip you of your reincarnation authority… You know what happened after that.”
Blood Nightmare said.
Li Lan said, "That's it?"
Before Blood Nightmare could answer, Li Lan had already activated the power of reincarnation again. In an instant, a shrill scream once more came from the coffin.
"I've already told you everything, why are you still doing this..."
"Ah! Are you really going to fight to the death?"
Blood Nightmare cursed and trembled with fear, but Li Lan's face remained cold.
After being tormented repeatedly for an unknown amount of time, the Blood Nightmare's voice could hardly be heard anymore. It seemed that under the extreme pain, he had become extremely weak.
"I said..."
Blood Nightmare's voice was filled with fear as he said, "The Yang Man Stone Arm! Within the War Alliance, there is a Yang Man Stone Arm. Ji Yuan plotted to become the Alliance Leader in order to obtain this item... This item is also the key to opening the door at the end of the tunnel."
Li Lan said in a deep voice, "The Yang Man Stone Arm, what is that?"
Blood Nightmare said, "I don't know either. I've only heard that this thing is related to the former master of reincarnation and has a very powerful background..."
Li Lan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where is the White Emperor?"
“She came before, attacked that door, and went in… Now, I don’t know either.”
Blood Nightmare said, "I've told you everything. Can you stop the power of Purgatory now?"
Li Lan sneered and said, "You've said everything? Fine, now you can die. I'd like to see if the person behind you will come out to save you."
After he finished speaking, he unleashed his full power, and terrifying yellow smoke almost filled the entire stone chamber, causing the coffin to tremble slightly.
"You know Him?!"
At this moment, Blood Nightmare was truly shocked.
The information he told Li Lan was indeed true, but he kept one major secret!
Here... he had seen another being.
But how did Li Lan find out?
Before he could even think, the terrifying power of reincarnation surged forth like a tidal wave. This time, he truly felt as if he were about to be refined and die!
"He is not here... He cannot come out; He must open that door with a human body before He can appear... Don't kill me!"
Blood Nightmare is truly panicked!
"Who is He? What does He want you to do for Him?"
Li Lan asked the question in a cold tone.
"I don't know. He is an existence that transcends everything, a truly invincible powerhouse... He asked me to find the remains of the Yang Man for him. The so-called Yang Man is a stone statue that the old master of reincarnation personally carved. Later, it cracked and broke into many pieces. I was lucky enough to obtain a piece of the lower leg back then, so I joined forces with other alliance leaders to come here, wanting to open it..."
“I never expected to meet Him. He sealed us in coffins and said that one day, after He creates reincarnation again, we will become Yama, the King of Hell in the cycle of reincarnation… He needs to collect complete remains of living people, and I have been helping Him with this.”
Having already spoken, Blood Nightmare quickly finished, saying, "That's all I know, I really told you everything..."
Li Lan pondered for a moment before the power of reincarnation slowly ceased.
Blood Nightmare should no longer be hiding.
"Who is He?" Li Lan asked again.
"I don't know... After I sacrificed that yang man's calf, it was as if I couldn't see His face clearly through the clouds."
Blood Nightmare had just finished answering the question when he suddenly realized something!
He was tricked by Li Lan!
Li Lan had no idea whether there was anything behind him. His actions just now were clearly just a test. However, under the power of the Samsara Purgatory, he panicked and blurted it out.
In an instant, Blood Nightmare felt deep regret, but it was already too late.
"Do you know what a yang person's body is?" Li Lan asked Qingyan.
Light Smoke shook her head: "I've only heard that it was the ultimate secret that the old master of reincarnation explored before he disappeared..."
Li Lan thought for a moment and then asked, "Could the one behind the stone gate be the former master of reincarnation?"
After all, according to Blood Nightmare, the being behind the stone gate actually wanted to... recreate the cycle of reincarnation?
Throughout history, who else but that person has such spirit?
"will not!"
Qingyan directly denied it, saying, "The former master of reincarnation has completely disappeared and no longer exists."
She firmly believed this.
Li Lan nodded thoughtfully. If it really was that person, why would the cat need to fight its way in and get injured after arriving here?
He got up, walked out of the stone chamber, entered the passageway, stood in front of the stone door at the end, stared at the door, and pondered.
What exactly is this place?
Who is this being who attempts to rebuild the cycle of reincarnation?
"Can the power of reincarnation open this door?"
Suddenly, Qingyan spoke.
After a moment's thought, Li Lan decided to give it a try. He stepped forward, placed his hand on the cold stone door, gathered the power of the Reincarnation Authority in his palm, and then pushed hard—
At that moment, various ripples inexplicably appeared on the stone gate, and Li Lan suddenly had a feeling that the gate had become transparent, as if he were seeing another world—
It was a sacred and pure land, where birds sang, flowers bloomed, vegetation flourished, the sunset glowed, cranes flew in formation, and the clouds rose and fell, creating a harmonious atmosphere!
It's like the other shore that all living beings yearn for!
……
And this moment.
Nestled among mountains and rivers, this place boasts beautiful scenery with clear waters and lush mountains.
There is a village here, which looks no different from any other ordinary village. There are plum trees at the entrance of the village, low earthen walls covered with moss along the edges, and fields full of vegetables around the village.
But... there wasn't a single living person in this village.
On a piece of land, a skeleton dressed in hemp clothing, holding a whip, drives a huge, rotting ox ahead. The ox is of some prehistoric species, its whole body is rotting, but its hide is still shiny, and its two horns on its head are like gold, still shining brightly.
In an open space in the village, several women dressed as skeletons were sewing shoe soles and chatting. Their bones were all pure jade, making them completely immortal.
Continuing along the village path, you come to a courtyard with an open gate. Inside, you can see a peach tree and a pond. Under the peach tree, a flock of chickens, their bodies decaying but their feathers intact, are wandering around. In the pond, some koi carp, their eyes rolled back but their scales still gleaming, are swimming.
"It's finally here."
Suddenly, a refined male voice rang out in the courtyard, and a man appeared gracefully under the peach tree. He looked extremely elegant and his posture was dashing.
"Ruobing, how's your painting coming along?"
He asked a question, and a woman dressed in white came out from a study in the courtyard.
The woman was none other than Lin Ruobing!
"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I have already made some progress in painting."
Lin Ruobing gave a slight bow.
The man nodded and said, "Let's give it a try and draw a person."
He raised his hand and pointed, and suddenly, a scene appeared before Lin Ruobing's eyes: it was a stone door, and outside the door, a man was trying hard to push it open, and behind him was a long passageway...
"Brother-in-law?!"
Lin Ruobing was both surprised and delighted when she saw the man pushing the door open!
“Draw him, let him in.”
The refined-looking man spoke softly.
But Lin Ruobing paused for a moment, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "Sir... if he comes in, will you kill him?"
"of course not."
The man smiled and said, "What I want is to save all living beings. He is also one of them, but he took the wrong path and took what he shouldn't have taken... You are the only one chosen. He stole your reincarnation."
Lin Ruobing's face paled slightly as she looked at the man under the peach tree and said, "Sir, my brother-in-law is the only one, there's no mistake... Reincarnation belongs to him."
The man looked at Lin Ruobing calmly and said, "He will not die. I assure you, after you hand over the cycle of reincarnation, he will enjoy eternity in my Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, just like the other villagers, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, no longer afraid of the disturbances of cause and effect or the marks of time. As for you, you will stand in the cycle of reincarnation and save all the people in the world. This is to save him, to save you, and to save all living beings."
Upon hearing "like other villagers," a strange sense of fear flashed across Lin Ruobing's eyes.
"You don't want to?" the man asked softly, but there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his eyes!
……
And this moment.
"That island is just ahead."
A dilapidated bronze ship sailed through the boundless gray fog, personally escorted by the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Alliance, Elder Dangtian, while Elder Xinghui stood beside Lin Ruoxue behind him.
"This place lies between reality and illusion, beyond cause and effect. If it weren't for this warship, which was stained with real blood before the dike in the past, we would not have been able to arrive here."
The old man sighed softly, then turned to look at Lin Ruoxue and said, "Can you really persuade Lin Ruobing to return and join my alliance?"
"If she comes, we can make her a saintess, and give her all the resources! We can even make her the leader of the alliance!"
The old man's words were extremely solemn.
Is my sister really on the island?
Lin Ruoxue asked a question.
“That’s right. We came close to that island once. She was practicing in the ruins of a deserted village on the island. The last time we saw her, she said she was practicing with a master… But we didn’t see anything.”
"There are no living people left on the island."
The old man slowly spoke.
