Chapter 205 Reaching Heaven and Earth
On the Bridge of Life and Death.
Li Lan sat cross-legged here, and in the palm of his hand, a golden flame flickered!
This is the manifestation of His great power.
"This fire, fueled by the myriad paths and growing stronger by devouring the myriad laws, is thus named—the Heavenly Fire of Myriad Paths!"
Li Lan gave this flame a name!
The true dragon transcends tribulation, becoming a five-colored immortal; heavenly fire attains enlightenment, silencing all souls!
This was the solution Mingzun told him when he first met him. Later, Li Lan also learned from the cat that this statement did not come from Mingzun, but should have come from someone with a greater background.
However, the Phoenix Clan's path had been completely severed and could not be found anywhere, so Li Lan had no choice but to create his own.
In fact, Li Lan had already had this idea when he entered the Refining Formation: to use all the laws to comprehend the Dao and continue his own path.
If he hadn't come to find the big black dog this time, he was also planning to go into the gray fog to practice the magic array in order to take the first step towards becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
However, the trials on the Bridge of Life and Death far surpassed those of the Refining Formation, and the 109 experts there were all figures of unparalleled talent. Therefore, the prototype of the Great Dao that he condensed and comprehended here was even stronger than he had previously imagined!
At the same time, he sensed that the Bridge of Life and Death was now connected to his mind.
With a wave of his hand, the Bridge of Life and Death, shrouded in Xuanhuang Qi, instantly transformed into a stream of light and entered his dantian, where it coexisted with his Samsara Seal.
Li Lan's figure also returned to the main hall of the Butian Clan.
"not bad."
The big black dog looked at Li Lan, nodded, and said, "With a new master emerging, the cycle of reincarnation will begin. It's time for this emperor to return to the Origin Realm."
"You must quickly repair the cycle of reincarnation. When you succeed, storms will rise in the Origin Realm, and those beings who once fought alongside me against the Origin will all return!"
Its dog eyes couldn't help but show some excitement.
"What exactly is going on in the Origin Realm?"
Li Lan asked, "What exactly happened back then?"
"I don't know either..."
The large black dog said in a low voice, "Back then, when reincarnation was at its peak, the First Pure Land had been established, and the eternal order of the world was almost successfully established. But suddenly, the source trembled once again, and even the two supreme beings, the Ancestor of Creation and the Goddess of Mending the Heavens, perished..."
"The former master went to quell the rebellion but never returned. The cycle of reincarnation has been permeated by the power of the source, the First Pure Land has been distorted, and almost all living beings have been alienated..."
"In order to find my former master, I organized a large army with Qingyan, the perfect being created by the Goddess of Mending the Heavens, to explore, but we only reached the edge of the Black Sea... After that, I can no longer remember anything. I went mad and became a monster, and Qingyan was almost completely destroyed."
The big black dog muttered.
His conquests failed, and he became a bizarre puppet, even attempting to destroy the world. Fortunately, the Heaven-Mending Clan did their utmost to restore his sanity.
Even Li Lan felt immense pressure.
In the past, the cycle of reincarnation was at its peak, and it was guarded by peerless powerhouses such as the big black dog and the cat, but it all collapsed. Now, even if Li Lan regains control of the reincarnation authority, it will be extremely difficult to fight against the source!
"I don't know why my master said back then that a new master would break everything... However, the situation you face in this life is even more severe than it was back then."
The big black dog spoke solemnly:
"You have entered the timeline of time and space, so you should know that your appearance will attract the attention of the source and destroy everything... But have you ever thought about why your own life is peaceful and tranquil, and why no terrible things have befallen you?"
Li Lan felt a chill run down her spine.
Indeed, he has entered the timeline twice. Each time he appeared, he was immediately discovered. The first time, a terrifying black hand swept away everything. The second time, a giant black dog was released to devour all living beings in the world!
But why is the space-time in which Li Lan herself resides so peaceful?
Although the Celestial Realm has also been eroded by the gray fog, this erosion is not even in the same league as the annihilation calamities that occurred in history.
"Because this life has been concealed."
The big black dog calmly said, "Before my master left, he had already foreseen everything that would happen in the future, so he left a contingency plan. The source cannot directly affect this life."
That's it!
Li Lan felt conflicted. In his mind, he recalled the figure that stood in front of the terrifying black hand when he went to guide the True Dragon Immortal Emperor...
He once told Li Lan that he was too early.
Is it because of his protection that this life has continued to this day?
Otherwise, given the terror of the source, Li Lan would probably have been destroyed the moment he was born into this world!
"But the source won't stop there. That's why the First Pure Land was affected by the source's power, and why the massive number of corpses in the Black Sea of Death gave birth to bizarre creatures..."
The big black dog spoke with great solemnity, "Throughout the ages, the strongest beings from all timelines, eras, and civilizations—those who once led armies to conquer the Source but perished—have now become pawns of the Source!"
"The source cannot descend directly; they are your adversaries!"
His words were like thunder.
Anyone who hears such a shocking truth would probably be speechless!
How many civilizations have existed throughout the long river of time? How many powerful figures have emerged?
countless!
But when every civilization and every era is destroyed, its strongest beings, like the Mingzun, almost always embark on a journey to resolve the catastrophe. However, without exception, all of them die in the Black Sea.
The bizarre and powerful beings born from their corpses are now all within the Origin Realm...
The entire Origin Realm exists solely to obstruct the new master of reincarnation, Li Lan!
Not to mention the entire long river of time, just the 109th supreme powerhouse who left their mark on the Bridge of Life and Death must be in the Origin Realm now. What level of cultivation have they reached?
unimaginable.
Furthermore, those 109 people were merely powerful figures within a specific timeline. In the vast river of time, there must be countless beings even more amazing and powerful than them.
At this moment, Li Lan suddenly understood why even a cat as powerful as it was was still hampered after arriving in the Origin Realm.
Perhaps, among them are some strange creatures on par with cats!
But after listening to the big black dog finish explaining everything, and understanding the perilous situation he was facing, Li Lan remained calm, and instead, a more determined light flashed in his eyes!
Fear and hesitation are useless; only by moving forward with all your might can you achieve your goal. That's Li Lan's style!
In Li Lan's eyes, whether the enemy was the Origin Realm, which gathered the strongest beings from the long river of time, or the mortal political enemies from the Great Li Dynasty of the past... it didn't make much difference.
As long as it is an enemy, we should deal with it with 120% wisdom and perseverance!
Do not be discouraged by a strong enemy, nor be arrogant because of a weak opponent!
Seeing that Li Lan's expression remained unchanged and without any fluctuation, the big black dog couldn't help but nod, and then said leisurely, "However, you don't need to worry too much..."
“I also have plans within the Origin Realm; otherwise, you would have been killed by the Origin Realm the day you began cultivating the Guiding Technique.”
Li Lan nodded. He instantly understood why the cat had returned to the Origin Realm after teaching him the extraordinary techniques and the guiding method.
That's probably why!
The original master who created reincarnation blocked the source and obscured this space-time, while a cat and a dog struggled to navigate the source realm, also protecting Li Lan...
Everything they did was to buy time for Li Lan!
"In the Origin Realm, too many people are accustomed to being bizarre beings, but there is still a portion who crave flesh and blood..."
The big black dog slowly spoke: "Therefore, the Origin Realm is now divided into two factions. Those beings who crave flesh and blood will follow you as long as you restore the cycle of reincarnation!"
"Only by integrating their power can you fight against the other part of existence, and perhaps even forge the reincarnation authority strong enough to quell the source!"
"Don't forget, for the power of reincarnation to grow, it requires one living being after another to be reborn!"
"If the beings in the Origin Realm do not want reincarnation to reappear in the world, they can completely prevent you from entering the timeline with their methods. After all, they are beings who have come from various timelines, and they will naturally sense your entry into their timeline!"
"In that case, your idea of using the resentful spirits of the past to extend your cycle of reincarnation is also wishful thinking."
Li Lan became increasingly aware of the seriousness of the problem!
Before this, he thought that as long as he could take back the Bridge of Life and Death and the cycle of reincarnation could be restarted, he could continuously absorb the resentful souls from the river of time.
A single resentful spirit from bygone eras represents a dead civilization, which should provide a massive amount of reincarnation power!
Countless vengeful spirits fill the space-time continuum, like an inexhaustible treasure trove, and the mastery of the reincarnation authority is just around the corner!
However, he overlooked one point: his entry into the timeline was not interfered with by anyone.
This smooth progress must have been due to the favorable conditions created for him by the cat's return to the source world.
However, this environment is unlikely to last. Rumors are already circulating that the cats seem to be under a lot of pressure in the Source Realm!
Furthermore, if the strange creatures in the Origin Realm were to intervene, he would face unforeseen dangers.
After much thought, the key is the Origin Realm!
To break this deadlock, there are essentially two points:
First, grow rapidly and improve your own strength—only when you are strong enough can you suppress everything with absolute power.
Secondly, he also needs to restore the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible to achieve the goal of guiding others to enlightenment.
In this way, everything that the cat and the big black dog had painstakingly built in the Origin Realm finally had a real banner, and was able to unite those strange beings who still had some attachment to flesh and blood!
These strange creatures are also Li Lan's capital in fighting against the Origin Realm.
Otherwise, relying solely on himself, along with the forces of the Immortal Realm, to fight against the Origin Realm...
That's nothing short of a pipe dream!
The gap in strength is too great. Even the strongest being in the Immortal Realm, the Supreme Immortal Emperor, is truly like a drop in the ocean before the Origin Realm.
Thank you.
Li Lan simply said one sentence.
The cat and the big black dog have put a lot of thought into it.
"Ahem, I won't thank you enough... You should give me something tangible in return!"
The big black dog suddenly said this, its eyes gleaming with desire, and said:
"The ultimate true dragon blood essence, also forged with the cultivation techniques and principles of the Heaven-Mending Clan... I haven't tasted such essence blood in many years..."
Li Lan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. This damned dog, it wanted to eat him?!
Could it be that it's having a relapse?
He remembered that this dog was originally a glutton, having devoured countless corpses in the Black Sea and later even fed on true dragons. In fact, when Sister Cat was still in the Immortal Realm, she once tried to use Li Lan as bait to lure this dog!
Now, Li Lan might really find it very attractive.
"You damn dog, don't you dare do anything reckless!"
"Woof, I've said so much to you with all my heart, aren't you grateful?"
The big black dog got anxious.
The image it had built in Li Lan's mind suddenly began to crumble. What this guy said just now was partly to tell Li Lan about the situation, but on the other hand, it might have been to get Li Lan to willingly give it blood!
