Chapter 493: Unify the World?

In early August, Cloud Sea Cliff was filled with thick fog.

In the early morning, Deng Yu Xiang, wearing a white cloak captured from Heaven Disciple Mountain, sat steadily in the council hall.

Her long legs were elegantly overlapped, her elbows resting on the chair's armrests, her palms supporting her face.

She was clearly sitting on an ordinary wooden chair, but it was forced into looking like a throne!

Such aura and power were far more like a leader than Lu Ran.

"Great Protector." Accompanied by light footsteps, an old voice came.

"Bai Lao." Deng Yu Xiang responded softly without turning her head.

The fog in the room was thick, and it was difficult for everyone to see each other with the naked eye.

Bai Yan Hui bowed slightly and reported: "My heart is calm today; Cloud Sea Cliff will likely be as peaceful as usual."

Deng Yu Xiang nodded lightly: "It seems the Sect Master can come out of seclusion safely."

Ever since Lu Ran went into seclusion in late July, he had struggled and prepared for nearly ten days, finally opening the advancement mode on the last day of July.

Counting the days, this was already the third day of Lu Ran's advancement.

It was time for success.

Bai Yan Hui replied: "I hope so."

Deng Yu Xiang said casually: "Bai Lao, sit."

"Yes." Bai Yan Hui, holding the Earth Mark Sword, accurately found the table and sat on the wooden chair.

Deng Yu Xiang listened with her eyes closed, then suddenly changed the subject: "Bai Lao and the Earth Mark Sword are getting along well."

"I must thank the Sect Master." Bai Yan Hui, this old fox, naturally knew what Deng Yu Xiang liked to hear, "When this sword came into my hand, it had already been tamed by the Sect Master."

Of course, these words couldn't be considered flattery; after all, they were all the truth.

On the night of the fifteenth of the seventh month, the way Lu Ran gripped the hilt of the Earth Mark Sword and his posture had truly shocked this divine weapon.

Deng Yu Xiang nodded with satisfaction and slowly stood up: "Bai Lao, sit in the council hall; cast spells on time. If there are any changes in your mood, please trouble Bai Lao to report it."

"Certainly!" Bai Yan Hui stood up again, bowing and cupping his hands to Deng Yu Xiang.

The woman in front of him was not just the First Protector of the Ran Sect, the temporary ruler of Cloud Sea Cliff.

She was a Sea Realm killing god!

Bai Yan Hui felt more relaxed when facing Lu Ran.

Because the young Sect Master Lu respected him very much, and the Sect Master was relatively easygoing and didn't care about too many formalities.

But in front of Deng Yu Xiang?

Bai Yan Hui was meticulous in his mindset and quite observant of the rules.

In fact, with Great Protector Deng Yu Xiang here, all the soldiers of the Ran Sect had to be well-behaved in front of the Sect Master.

"Hmm." Deng Yu Xiang walked away, but just as she reached the door of the council hall, her footsteps stopped.

Powerful martial artists were extremely sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment.

She vaguely sensed that the thick energy between heaven and earth had a trend of weakening?

A few seconds later, Bai Yan Hui also smiled and said: "The Sect Master is coming out of seclusion."

Deng Yu Xiang's coldness faded; she was clearly in a good mood and walked out with big strides.

The tunnel entrance to the No. 1 seclusion chamber was located in the forest behind Lu Ran's residence, Cloud Sea Residence.

When Deng Yu Xiang arrived here, the fog in the cliff had dissipated a lot.

Fish Changsheng and others arrived afterward, also wanting to congratulate the Sect Master at the first opportunity.

And at this time, Lu Ran was still in the pitch-black seclusion chamber, hugging the little Chifeng and kissing it.

"Mua~"

He was beaming with joy, taking a bite of the exquisite phoenix pattern on the gourd.

A few days ago, Lu Ran was able to successfully break through the bottleneck and open the advancement mode, which was inseparable from the help of this powerful artifact.

The reward for "Heavenly Pride" was truly chosen correctly!

"Li~" The golden phoenix pattern suddenly lit up, and a little phoenix woven from golden lines flew out, flapping its hollow wings.

It flew up, flew down, circling around its master.

Extremely happy!

Over the past three days, the little Chifeng had also eaten well.

Lu Ran looked at the beautiful little Chifeng: "Don't just be happy, do you remember our goal?

Not only can we absorb demon corpses, we also have to absorb living things!"

The little Chifeng circled happily, flapping its wings: "Li~"

Lu Ran: "..."

Fine.

Lu Ran took a deep breath, temporarily putting aside other thoughts, feeling completely refreshed.

River Estuary Realm, Fourth Stage!

Finally advanced, next is the fifth stage!

Once he steps into the sequence of the peak...

Can the Sea Realm be far away?

For more than half a year, Lu Ran had experienced too much wind and rain.

Whether it was the height of his thinking, the degree of his understanding of the world, or his unwavering goal, all were sufficient to support him in forming a profound realization.

Lu Ran had reason to believe that his Dao heart was incomparably brilliant!

So...

The day he steps into the peak, the time he advances to the Sea Realm!

"Swish~" Lu Ran put away the little Chifeng, his figure flashed, and he came to the old place.

Once again, he stood at the edge of the sea cliff.

The blue sky was like a wash, the sky high and the sea wide, perfectly matching his mood at this moment.

Hearty, refreshing!

"Congratulations." Suddenly, a female voice came from behind.

Lu Ran turned his head to look and happened to see Deng Yu Xiang coming, stepping on fairy mist.

"Amazing." Lu Ran laughed, "Actually knew I was here?"

Deng Yu Xiang stepped forward and stood side-by-side with Lu Ran: "I waited for a while at Cloud Sea Residence, then thought you would come here."

Lu Ran asked: "Over the past ten-plus days, has Cloud Sea Cliff been peaceful?"

Deng Yu Xiang stood with her hands behind her back: "No humans came to disturb, but an ignorant Angry Nu Hai Yan Jiao came, and I beheaded it."

"Tsk tsk~" Lu Ran looked at the woman's side profile, "Advancing to the Sea Realm is really different, huh?"

Really has style~

Confidence and demeanor naturally stem from absolute strength!

The Angry Nu Hai Yan Jiao tribe was the demon version of the Lie Tian sect, possessing the terrifying ability to kill across levels.

Regardless of whether it was River or Sea, it was enough to make anyone terrified.

But now, the Great Nightmare spoke of it so lightly.

"Just Sea Realm, you'll be there soon too." Deng Yu Xiang had a faint smile on her face.

Her trust in Lu Ran even exceeded her belief in herself.

Ding~

Triggered keyword!

Lu Ran looked at the majestic Sea Realm powerhouse and couldn't help but think of a certain "unpromising" younger brother.

Don't know how Deng Shao is doing now.

And the other few team members: Chang Ying, Tian Tian...

Are they all in college?

And the most important member—Jiang Ru Yi.

Lu Ran shook his head violently, not daring to think any further.

After coming to this realm, Lu Ran also recognized his true face.

Quite unpromising.

If he let his longing run wild, it wouldn't be conducive to a stable state of mind.

"Soon, soon." Lu Ran muttered a sentence.

Afterward, he turned his attention back to the present: "By the way, when I was in seclusion a few days ago, the Jiyue Dao contacted me."

"Hmm?" Deng Yu Xiang looked at Lu Ran, "Did the Great Da Da Feng Tang encounter a crisis?"

"That's not it; it was He Qi Feng who requested the Jiyue Dao to contact me, saying she did a big thing!"

Deng Yu Xiang was also interested: "What big thing?"

Lu Ran's expression was a bit strange: "He Qi Feng led the hall members and built a city."

Such news truly surprised Deng Yu Xiang: "A city?"

Lu Ran nodded to confirm: "It is said to be located 30 kilometers south of Wu Ji Peak; He Qi Feng invited us to go take a look when we have time."

Deng Yu Xiang pondered for a moment: "Is she going to rely on Wu Ji Peak to cultivate her own power?"

Lu Ran shook his head, then nodded: "According to He Qi Feng, she wants to turn that city into a neutral zone, or it should be defined as a safe zone.

Anyone entering the city is not allowed to fight.

That place will be a pure land within the Holy Lingshan Realm, a safe haven for all humans."

Deng Yu Xiang squinted her eyes, thoughts turning rapidly in her mind: "If she can really do this, her power will grow rapidly."

Within the Holy Lingshan, everyone is in danger.

No matter how strong you are, there is someone stronger than you.

No matter how cautious you are, there will eventually be a day when you are plotted against.

In such an extremely dangerous world, a "safe zone" suddenly pops up?

Once this city is truly safe and its name gets out, it will definitely attract a large number of followers to settle in.

By then, the personal prestige of He Qi Feng, this city lord, will probably pierce the sky!

The number of members under her command and the overall strength of the troops will inevitably continue to grow!

Lu Ran showed admiration, sighing softly: "Truly a big heroine who does big things..."

Is the city He Qi Feng built just a city?

No, she is walking on the path of completing her ambition and dreams.

She is using this city to pry open the survival rules of the entire Holy Lingshan Realm!

Heh,

Worthy of being someone I took a fancy to.

Really dared to think, and also really dared to do it!

Deng Yu Xiang said softly: "It's easy to build this city, but I'm afraid it will be very difficult to maintain."

Lu Ran: "That's why this city was built 30 kilometers south of Wu Ji Peak."

He Qi Feng is so wise, right?

Backing onto Wu Ji Peak, naturally, she wants to utilize it to the extreme!

However, Deng Yu Xiang still didn't think much of it, pondering: "He Qi Feng doing this will eventually bring fire upon herself.

Even if she can maintain it for a period of time, other forces in the Holy Lingshan won't allow her to develop indefinitely."

Lu Ran nodded silently.

He thought so too.

As long as He Qi Feng's power grows to a certain extent, no matter how you guarantee peace verbally or behave properly in action, you will attract joint attacks.

The reason the Holy Lingshan Realm has its current pattern is because this realm is vast enough, and the major sects occupy one side each.

They all eat the resources (Holy Spirit Qi) within their own territory.

Although small frictions are unavoidable, they are mostly between people, between small teams and gangs.

It can be considered small scuffles.

The major sect forces have always been considered to be at peace with each other.

However, when your strength skyrockets, you become the only one, and you have the ability to annex any sect, all parties will likely cast aside their previous grievances and unite to remove the heart-trouble.

What do you want to do?

Want to unify the world?

From this perspective, He Qi Feng is bringing fire upon herself.

The current Peak Master of Wu Ji Peak really has courage!

Lu Ran certainly didn't think that He Qi Feng dared to build a city by herself; she must have received strong support from Peak Master Tu of Wu Ji Peak!

"Let's go to the council hall first." Lu Ran said, "Let's talk about this, and by the way, formulate our next plan."

Deng Yu Xiang asked with concern: "Do you want to go back to the seclusion chamber first to consolidate your realm?"

"No matter, holding a meeting won't take much time." Lu Ran said casually, "Go notify everyone."

"Yes!" Deng Yu Xiang didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Lu Ran faced the sea and stretched fiercely:

"Ugh~~~"

This Holy Lingshan is truly becoming more interesting the longer I stay.

Finally, don't tell me it will be Wu Ji Peak + Great Da Da Feng Tang + Ran Sect, together against all the god sects of the entire Holy Lingshan Realm?

That would be...

Too blood-boiling, right?!

Last day, asking for some monthly tickets.
