Chapter 447: Cultivation bottleneck?

At nightfall.

Inside Cloud Sea Residence, an excited voice came out: "Haha, it's done!"

Lu Ran shook his head hard, and finally, it stopped buzzing.

The Lie Tian Divine Sculpture in the Sculpture Garden stopped trembling, and its scale was quite impressive.

River Estuary Realm, second stage!

As early as the afternoon, the Lie Tian Divine Sculpture had advanced to the first stage of the River Estuary Realm; what surprised Lu Ran was that the Divine Sculpture didn't stop.

It wanted to advance again?

Lu Ran was overjoyed!

This Lie Tian believer who traveled north and south really had goods on him!

Lu Ran had once roughly estimated that every wisp of pure Holy Spirit Qi was equivalent to an ordinary River Estuary Realm dead soul.

This time, Lu Ran's Lie Tian Divine Sculpture had been promoted from the third stage of the Jiang Jing all the way to the second stage of the River Estuary Realm!

In other words, over the years, Shi Guangwei had collected more than 120 wisps of Holy Spirit Qi?

No, more than that.

After all, the Divine Sculpture also needed a considerable amount of Holy Spirit Qi when breaking through a great realm.

"So satisfying..." Lu Ran muttered to himself.

These wisps of Holy Spirit Qi should have returned to the embrace of the Divine Lord Lie Tian along with the believer's soul.

However, the source power that Shi Guangwei had painstakingly collected had all been intercepted by Lu Ran!

Lu Ran was naturally happy in his heart!

He walked out of the house, stood in the small courtyard, and stretched fiercely: "Ugh~~~"

It just so happened that tonight, there was no cloud sea covering the sky.

The stars were all over the sky.

Far more beautiful than the starry sky in the human world.

Lu Ran looked up and stretched, gradually becoming fascinated.

After a long time, his figure flashed and went to the sea cliff, but unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure here.

That tall figure looked a bit lonely.

She stood alone at the edge of the sea cliff, looking into the distance, a head of pitch-black long hair fluttering gently with the sea breeze.

Great Da Da Mengyan?

The woman sensed something and turned her head to look.

With the help of the night sky and stars, Deng Yuxiang vaguely saw who it was.

Lu Ran stepped forward and teased: "Not resting in the middle of the night, running here to blow the sea breeze?

What's wrong, lonely?"

Deng Yuxiang glanced at Lu Ran lightly: "Be careful what you say; there's no one around."

Lu Ran: "..."

In front of others, Deng Yuxiang had always been respectful to Lu Ran, maintaining the dignity of the Sect Master.

Behind people's backs, well... hmm.

Lu Ran came to the woman's side and could clearly sense that she was filled with faint sorrow.

"Still worried about Yan Shuangzi?" Lu Ran asked.

Deng Yuxiang remained silent, looking at the pitch-black sea.

Rather than worry, it was more like a memorial.

A memorial to her close friend of the past.

A memorial to the Yan Shuangzi who had completely "died."

Lu Ran leaned slightly and bumped her shoulder gently with his shoulder: "I already said, I will try my best to take good care of her."

Deng Yuxiang was bumped to the side, frowned slightly, and turned to look at the little guy who was making trouble beside her.

Even though the sky was dark, she could see Lu Ran's sincere face.

The anger in Deng Yuxiang's heart dissipated immediately, and her voice softened: "Hmm, I believe you."

"Then don't worry anymore." Lu Ran grinned, "I'm going to experiment with Blazing Heavenly Kui, just in time for you to observe."

Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran and said softly: "Your hair is a bit long."

"Oh?" Lu Ran shook his head and had a sudden inspiration: "Keep it."

"Do you want to learn from Conglong and keep long hair?"

Lu Ran shook his head repeatedly: "That's too long; it's inconvenient for combat. I'll just keep it a little bit and tie a short little braid."

Deng Yuxiang wondered: "Why?"

Lu Ran said seriously: "Holy Lingshan chapter, Ran God limited edition skin!"

Deng Yuxiang: "..."

"Whoosh~"

Lu Ran was like a human bonfire, raging flames ignited on his body, the flames rising high!

Sparks splashed, crackling.

Lie Tian Divine Technique: Blazing Heavenly Kui!

"Whoa!" Lu Ran exclaimed, feeling the Divine Power in his body being consumed rapidly.

As expected of the River Estuary-grade Blazing Heavenly Kui, the consumption was truly astonishing!

Lu Ran wasn't panicked either.

Although he went out in a hurry and didn't bring the Little Chifeng Pattern Gourd, he had a large number of Divine Power beads.

Coupled with the Divine Power beads divided during the day, at this moment, Lu Ran had a full 15 Divine Power beads around his neck, including a quail-egg-sized River Estuary-grade Divine Power bead!

Moreover, Lu Ran was already at the second stage of the River Estuary Realm, and his Divine Power reserves were quite abundant.

He had also received the genuine blessing of the Divine Lord, and his meridians had been greatly widened; this body container had a much larger capacity than other contestants of the same realm.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Ran summoned an illusory battle hammer covered with cracks.

It looked like a battle-damaged version, extremely cool!

The specification of the River-grade Lie Tian Hammer was about three meters, while the specification of the River Estuary-grade Lie Tian Hammer reached 3.5 meters!

As Lu Ran's mind moved, raging flames ignited on the huge hammer head.

"Good fellow!"

The ferocity of the fire made even Lu Ran gasp.

Deng Yuxiang retreated a few steps to the side; she knew very well that Lu Ran's output at this moment would be extremely terrifying.

Although she was at the fourth stage of the River Estuary Realm, the water armor on her body absolutely couldn't withstand this hammer.

"Go~"

Lu Ran looked at the sea and swung the giant hammer fiercely.

The flaming battle hammer rotated continuously, lighting up the night, and smashed into the sea.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The already surging sea surface was immediately blasted with high waves.

Deafening, the momentum was astonishing!

It must be explained that the output increase provided by the Divine Technique "Blazing Heavenly Kui" is limited to the Divine Technique/Evil Technique level.

Lu Ran's ordinary attacks, such as punching, kicking, or slashing with a blade, could not receive damage bonuses.

Deng Yuxiang said softly: "You can go for revenge."

Lu Ran shook his head: "No, Blade Ridge Peak has many experts, and there is an unfathomable Peak Master sitting in charge! Our current strength is not enough to look at."

Deng Yuxiang: "I'm talking about Heavenly Disciple Mountain."

"Oh." Lu Ran extinguished the flames on his body, "Wait until you advance to the Sea Realm, and then we will go for revenge."

Deng Yuxiang looked at the blurred outline of Lu Ran's figure, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly:

"Are you so sure that I can advance to the Sea Realm?"

"Definitely!" Lu Ran looked like it was a matter of course, "Your talent is almost overflowing; let alone the Sea Realm, even above the Sea Realm, you can poke your way up!"

Deng Yuxiang glared at Lu Ran lightly: "Be humble."

Lu Ran looked at the vast sea: "Great Da Da Mengyan, you don't seem to have figured out the situation yet, you don't know how noble your identity is.

You have already been bound to the Night Charm Yemo Yemo Xiesu, you are already not a human... hmm."

Why does it feel like he's scolding someone?

Lu Ran slowed down and said again: "Currently, you haven't completely merged with the Yemo Yemo Xiesu, but you have been in the process of merging, so..."

"I know." Deng Yuxiang said seriously, "I can indeed feel that my cultivation aptitude is slowly improving."

Lu Ran suddenly raised his elbow, leaned on Deng Yuxiang's shoulder, tilted his head, and asked with a smile:

"Then what are you being humble for, hmm? Future Evil God Lord?"

"Go." Deng Yuxiang spat lightly and pushed Lu Ran away.

Really no proper form!

Thinking secretly in her heart, Deng Yuxiang couldn't help but raise a long leg and gave Lu Ran a kick in the end.

Hmm, comfortable.

Lu Ran: "..."

I see you're in a bad mood and try every way to comfort you, and this is how you treat me?

Heh,

woman!

Lu Ran changed the subject: "Next mission, you stay at home and guard."

Deng Yuxiang's beautiful eyes narrowed: "You dare!"

Lu Ran rolled his eyes: "This time going to Martial Extreme Peak, I plan to stop by Night Charm Lake and cultivate the Night Charm Yemo Yemo Xiesu to the Sea Realm.

The defensive troops of Cloud Sea Cliff are too thin; I plan to update and iterate, summoning River Estuary Realm Night Charm minions.

Moreover, when the Night Charm Yemo Yemo Xiesu advances, you can also deepen your fusion with the statue."

Deng Yuxiang was about to say something, but Lu Ran interrupted: "You know, once the Night Charm Yemo Yemo Xiesu advances, you will have to tremble all over and shiver... eh?"

Lu Ran sensed that her long leg was raised again, so he hurriedly dodged.

Deng Yuxiang didn't pursue, just looked at Lu Ran with gloomy eyes.

Lu Ran grinned: "In short, you just stay at home and guard with Jing Hong; I'll leave the two Divine Generals Xun and Luo to you too.

It just so happens they have to look after the child; the couple can take turns, one on, one off."

Deng Yuxiang: "..."

Lu Ran stated his decision: "I'll just take the second and third protectors; both the Evil Shadow and I can teleport, and Mr. Conglong also has a way to save his life, so nothing will happen.

You, the Chief Protector, just stay and watch the house, waiting to tremble all over..."

Before he could finish, Lu Ran panicked in his heart and hurriedly flashed away.

And where he disappeared, a sharp whip leg swept over fiercely.

Deng Yuxiang stood in place, the more she thought, the angrier she got!

Shivering all over was something that always made her feel both ashamed and annoyed, very embarrassed.

Yet that damn Lu Ran kept mentioning it!

Deng Yuxiang pursed her lips and turned to walk toward the forest, heading straight for Cloud Sea Residence.

When Lu Ran lay on the rocking chair in the small courtyard in front of the house, trying hard to cultivate Divine Power, he suddenly saw stars.

The stars of "marching in a hurry."

The Great Da Da Mengyan walked down from the night sky, step by step, and stepped into the small courtyard angrily.

Lu Ran was stunned!

No!

Why are you blocking someone else's door?

"Eh? Don't pull my ear! Who did you learn that from? It hurts, it hurts! I'm the Sect Master! I'm the Sect—wrong, wrong..."

"What did you do wrong?"

"Hey! I wasn't seeing you in a bad mood and trying to divert your attention?"

"I'm in an even worse mood now."

"Hiss! Gently, gently, you be gentle, it hurts..."

Stars and moons rotated, day and night alternated.

Days passed one by one, and the members of the Ran Sect either rested or completed their missions seriously.

Lu Ran had been cultivating with all his heart.

As the date reached early April, everyone was waiting for the Sect Master to give an order to set out on a mission.

And at this moment, Lu Ran vaguely sensed that he was about to touch the cultivation bottleneck.

Although he hadn't truly touched it yet, he felt it would be soon!

If it were elsewhere, Lu Ran naturally wouldn't mind going on a mission and advancing in battle; it didn't matter.

Since becoming a believer, Lu Ran had either been fighting on the battlefield or on the way to the battlefield.

He had long been accustomed to cultivating while fighting.

But this was Holy Lingshan!

How could Lu Ran dare to be reckless? He didn't even dare to break through in the inland!

With that, Lu Ran took the Little Chifeng Pattern Gourd and plunged into the No. 1 Seclusion Room.

River Estuary Realm, third stage.

I'm coming.
