Chapter 491 Stealing Bones
Li Lan asked curiously:
"Thank you for helping me remove the dark mark. What are you referring to?"
After successfully subduing all five elemental spirits, Li Lan's understanding of the rules of heaven and earth deepened, and he realized that what the senior said was true. He did feel that he was missing one crucial element.
No matter how much he tried to understand, he could never find it.
At that moment, the voice came again.
“I observe that you cultivate the same path of creation, and you have a profound understanding of the power of space. Even in my eyes, I have never seen anyone with such control over the power of space.”
"With the help of the Five Elements Spirit, you can meet the most basic requirement, which is to master more than three Great Dao Rules."
"But you were created by someone else after all. Everything about you comes from the person who created you. If you want to become a cultivator recognized by this world, you must break free from this constraint and become your true self."
Li Lan had heard that almost all cultivators who reached the Quasi-God realm had mastered at least three or more Great Dao rules.
This was the first time he had ever heard the idea that he could be his true self.
According to his understanding, he had already defeated the Heavenly Dao Will in the Boundless Realm and thus gotten rid of Yi Jun, so how could he still be implicated by him?
Seemingly sensing Li Lan's doubts, the voice chuckled and said:
"The will of Heaven in the world created by the Creator was formed after the original owner's death, and it has little to do with the original owner."
"Although you have defeated the will of Heaven, you have not escaped the Creator's shackles."
"And the way to do this is very simple: swallow the world that created you, transform from a guest into a master, and only then can you become your true self."
hiss~
Hearing this statement, even someone as experienced as Li Lan was incredibly shocked.
He came from the Realm of Impermanence, so he naturally knew how vast the Realm of Impermanence was.
Compared to the mortal world he created, the Boundless Realm is many times more powerful.
Although the mortal world is constantly getting stronger as his own strength grows, Li Lan still doesn't think that the mortal world is stronger than the Boundless Realm.
"Senior, I have another question."
"If it were to directly devour the world I was born from, wouldn't it crush me?"
Even with Li Lan's Quasi-God Rank 5 cultivation, it would be extremely difficult, or rather, impossible, for him to devour the Boundless Realm.
He believed that even for cultivators within the four heavens, devouring a world created by another was no easy task.
Soon, the master of the secret realm answered his question.
"Hehe, swallowing it directly is naturally impossible."
"That depends on your own understanding."
"Remember, make good use of the Five Elements Spirit I left you. You will understand when the time is right."
Although the Lord of the Secret Realm did not give a clear answer, the information he shared with Li Lan was already extremely valuable.
So in the end, Li Lan clasped his hands in thanks and said:
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. When I have achieved success in my cultivation, that will be the day I take the life of the Great Black Buddha Mother."
Upon hearing this, a strange aura in the world suddenly dimmed slightly.
"Hehe, you are truly a wise person. You even guessed that I was killed by the Great Black Buddha Mother."
Li Lan smiled slightly; it wasn't hard to guess.
He had noticed from the day the secret realm opened that as soon as it opened, a beam of light shot straight up to the endless sky.
Its target from the very beginning was the Great Black Buddha Mother. Even though it was easily defeated in the end, it was enough to show how deep the master of the secret realm hated the Great Black Buddha Mother.
After a while, when Li Lan could no longer sense the will in the world, he knew that the master of the secret realm had completely disappeared from this world.
After bowing to the endless dome, Li Lan disregarded whether it would accelerate the collapse of this secret realm and directly tore open a huge spatial rift.
With one step, he had already left the secret realm.
Just as he left the secret realm, a message that only he could perceive entered Li Lan's mind.
Upon receiving this news, Li Lan's expression instantly turned grim.
Just now, he received a message from Yue Nu that Xiao Rong had indeed taken action.
Calculating the time, more than two months have passed since they entered the secret realm.
Given Xiao Rong's accumulated experience over the years, coupled with such extensive preparation, she must have been quite confident before taking action.
Even so, Li Lan still felt something was amiss.
After glancing at the soon-to-collapse secret realm from afar, Li Lan no longer hesitated and flew alone towards the location of the Star Devouring Sect.
If he is not mistaken, the secret realm will completely collapse within three days, eventually turning into nourishment for four days.
Every cultivator is like this: they draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and ultimately return it all to this world.
Of course, the time each cultivator exists will vary greatly.
Taking advantage of the gap before most of the elders and sect leader of the Star Devouring Sect returned, Li Lan needed to hurry back to the Star Devouring Sect to avoid any unforeseen events that might affect his subsequent actions.
With such a hasty journey, it wasn't until evening two days later that Li Lan finally saw the dark outline of the Star Devouring Sect.
As his figure landed on Wangxing Mountain, a beautiful figure was rushing towards him.
"grown ups!"
Li Lan looked at the flustered Yue Nu and said calmly:
"Why didn't Xiao Rong succeed?"
Yuenu said with some surprise:
"Sir, you know everything?"
Li Lan sighed; he knew it wouldn't be that easy.
How could a top-tier sect like the Star Devouring Sect allow itself to become an empty shell, easily stolen from, even when it goes out to participate in secret realm trials?
"Tell me, besides Mo Chen, who else is staying behind in the Star Devouring Sect?"
With Li Lan's cultivation level, he could naturally sense that the person who led them to the secret realm for the trial that day was not Sect Master Mo Chen, but someone else.
His actual strength is no more than that of a Divine Envoy, so he must be one of the ten elders.
Yue Nu nodded and said seriously:
"My lord, you guessed correctly. Besides the sect leader, the fifth and tenth elders also stayed in the sect and did not go to the Death Swamp."
"Xiao Rong also stayed here, but she's gotten into trouble now and it's hard for her to get away."
Li Lan already knew that Xiao Rong's operation would fail, and now he only hoped that she had not yet revealed their true purpose.
With his hands behind his back, Li Lan scanned the area with his powerful divine sense and immediately spotted the place where Xiao Rong was trapped.
"Yuenü, you stay here. I'll go and rescue Xiao Rong."
"Don't show your face until you receive a message from me."
Xiao Rong was now in a dilemma. He didn't want Yue Nu to be implicated, so he wanted to place Yue Nu outside and act alone.
Just as he was about to leave, Yue Nu suddenly called out anxiously:
“My lord, you still bear the mark of the Great Black Mother. If you go directly there, you will be discovered by her followers.”
Upon hearing this, Li Lan immediately stopped walking.
"Have the followers of the Great Black Buddha Mother not left the Star Devouring Sect yet?"
Li Lan clearly remembered framing Luo Ye for everything that day, so logically, that believer should have already left.
Yue Nu immediately told Li Lan about another matter.
After investigating for some time, she discovered that the believer's purpose in coming to the Star Devouring Sect was not simple.
Besides taking a cut of the profits, he actually specified that he needed a certain kind of elixir.
Li Lan was also very familiar with this kind of pill, because it could only be refined in the Boundless Realm.
"My lord, the sect leader came to see me a few days ago."
"He asked me to tell Gu Tingyi to speed up the refining of a batch of these pills, without explaining why."
"But after my subordinates inquired, they learned that this kind of pill was the one that the believer specifically requested."
"As for why that believer needs this kind of elixir, I haven't found out yet."
Upon learning of this, Li Lan fell into deep thought.
He knew that the believer needed a pill called the Heart-Cleansing Pill, which was of low quality and only effective for cultivators who focused on cultivating their spiritual soul.
Given the strength and status of the Great Black Buddha Mother, she has no need for pills of this caliber.
The next moment, Li Lan finally understood.
It's likely that the believer was merely using the name of the Great Black Buddha Mother to plunder these elixirs; what he truly needed was himself.
Having understood all this, Li Lan had a new plan.
"Yuenü, I know about this."
"You don't need to worry about the big black mark, I've already removed it."
"You will stay here for the time being. Come back to me after I have resolved Xiao Rong's matter. At that time, I will give you a new task."
"Yes!"
Yuenu accepted the order.
Li Lan took a step forward and headed towards the area where Xiao Rong was trapped.
Before leaving, he concealed his presence and even changed his appearance.
Xiao Rong was trapped not in the core area of the Star Devouring Sect, but in a forest of magical beasts on the outskirts.
After some investigation, Li Lan discovered that Xiao Rong was some distance away from Mo Chen and the others, suggesting that she had used some secret method to hide.
However, the Star Devouring Sect has a protective formation, so even with all sorts of secret techniques, Xiao Rong would find it difficult to escape.
If she waits until the elders of the Star Devouring Sect return tomorrow, she will soon be surrounded and captured.
After finding out Xiao Rong's location, Li Lan did not go directly to rescue her. Instead, he changed direction and headed straight for the location of the Star Devouring Sect's alchemy room.
Half an hour later, Li Lan once again bypassed the heavy guards outside the alchemy room and arrived in front of the mountain where the alchemy room was located.
hum!
He brought his two fingers together, and his quasi-god level power erupted instantly.
The bluish-white sword energy, condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles, finally crashed into the mountain peak where the alchemy room was located, like a bright moon.
boom!
The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Star Devouring Sect. Mo Chen and the Fifth Elder, who were besieging Xiao Rong, also noticed the commotion.
"Hmph, finally couldn't hold back, huh?"
"I knew that a mere thief at the Divine Envoy Realm dared to steal from my Star Devouring Sect, there must be a powerful figure behind him."
Mo Chen snorted coldly, and then headed straight for the alchemy room.
Upon seeing this, the Fifth Elder immediately said:
"Sect Master, what should we do with that petty thief?"
Mo Chen waved his hand and said coldly:
"She was just a prelude; the real thief was definitely that quasi-god level expert."
"Let's spare his life for now and capture that quasi-god realm cultivator first."
After saying that, Mo Chen disappeared into thin air and rushed towards the alchemy room at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing that the sect leader had already left, the Fifth Elder did not dare to delay and immediately gave up the pursuit of Xiao Rong and went to the alchemy room.
