Chapter 52: Mist Realm Peak

"Meow~"

"Meow meow meow."

At night, the sound of cat cries woke someone sleeping on the bed.

"Shh..." Lu Ran opened his eyes groggily, stroking the cat's head with one hand, soothing the little fellow.

With the shrine and divine sculpture in the bedroom, if the little tabby kept crying like this, it would easily annoy the god.

"Hungry?" Lu Ran held the tabby and sat up.

Seeing that the room was pitch black, he knew he had slept for a whole day, and the tabby had naturally been hungry for a whole day.

"Meow~" The tabby had a pitiful little look.

That furry little cat paw kept scratching Lu Ran's face.

"There's canned food at home." Lu Ran held the tabby, went to the kitchen, and found a box of luncheon meat from the cupboard.

Diced, plated, and poured a bowl of water.

"Eat, you must be starving." Lu Ran placed the food and water on the ground, watching the little tabby wolf it down. "I slept too long... Hmm?"

Lu Ran suddenly remembered something and hurried out of the kitchen.

He didn't even turn on the lights, went straight to the shrine, and put his hands together:

"God Xianyang, you said in the dream that you will eventually dissipate..."

In the shrine, the white sheep jade sculpture was silent.

Lu Ran pondered for a moment and continued: "What can the disciple do for you?"

"Can things like dissipating be avoided?"

"Don't gods need the power of faith? If more humans believe in you, can it help you extend your life?"

Lu Ran asked repeatedly, but the white sheep jade sculpture had no reaction.

Making Lu Ran anxious and angry!

Really wanted to give you a kick~

"God Xianyang, say something!" Lu Ran said helplessly.

"You want to help me." The transmission came suddenly.

Lu Ran was instantly energized: "Yes, the disciple certainly wants to!"

Regarding repaying kindness, Lu Ran was very serious.

White sheep jade sculpture: "Merely Mist Realm, how can you help me?"

Lu Ran: "..."

Fine, fine, fine!

I want to help you, and you turn around and stab my heart, right?

White sheep jade sculpture repeated the words from the dream: "No need to worry, just grow with peace of mind."

"Yes!" Lu Ran nodded.

He had always had an extreme desire for strength.

Whether it was wanting to avenge his father or not wanting to spend his nights in fear, it supported Lu Ran's footsteps in diligent cultivation.

Now, after Lu Ran experienced the 15th of the 7th month with the Moon-Watching team, he wanted to become stronger even more.

Although Lu Ran played a huge role on the night of the 15th.

But he didn't want to be the one being protected!

If possible, Lu Ran wanted to let the Wei brothers let go, and wanted to stand at the same height as the Great Nightmare and fight until dawn side by side.

White sheep jade sculpture: "If divided by strength realm, the Vicious Dog statue is currently at Mist Realm, 3rd stage.

Imprison more Vicious Dog souls and cultivate the Vicious Dog statue to the Stream Realm as soon as possible."

Once he possessed the Stream Realm Vicious Dog evil sculpture, Lu Ran would obtain the evil technique: Evil Agility.

In this way, Lu Ran's agility attribute would far exceed that of contestants in the same realm, and his combat power would inevitably soar!

"The disciple understands." Lu Ran responded in a low voice, still unwilling to give up. "Regarding your dissipation..."

White sheep jade sculpture suddenly said: "Souls can also nourish me."

Lu Ran's expression froze.

Not sure if the god was just brushing him off or if it was true.

A dignified god, actually eating evil spirit souls?

Is this something a god should do?

Wait a minute!

Lu Ran frowned; God Xianyang had created an evil spirit sculpture garden!

And its method of activating evil sculptures was using evil spirit souls.

So, God Xianyang's words were very likely true!

The more Lu Ran thought about it, the more shocked he became.

White sheep jade sculpture: "You can imprison more souls."

"After school starts, the disciple will go into the Demon Cave again and try my best to slaughter evil spirits." Lu Ran said in a low voice.

The god no longer sent transmissions; Lu Ran waited for a moment and then sighed deeply.

Strength, strength...

It is the foundation of everything!

He sat on the ground and started his cultivation mode right there.

God Xianyang was also very caring toward Lu Ran, as the shrine released wisps of mist, surging toward Lu Ran.

Just a few minutes later, Lu Ran suddenly remembered something.

He slowly raised his hand, and energy surged in his palm.

"Whoosh~"

Four fangs made of mist gathered and formed a few meters away.

"Crack!"

The four fangs bit together tightly, the sound a bit harsh.

In the pitch-black room, Lu Ran's pitch-black eyes shone with a strange luster.

First Corrupt Mind, then Vicious Teeth.

What is Gusu Murong Fu, what is Hatake Kakashi?

Really don't know, if I use this move in front of the Vicious Dogs, will the skinny dogs be confused?

The dog hasn't opened its mouth yet,

and I've already bitten the dog first!

I must let you know who the real skinny dog is... er.

The days at home passed in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, time came to the 22nd of the 7th lunar month, September 1st in the solar calendar.

In the early morning, the sound of the phone alarm disturbed Lu Ran, who was cultivating in front of the shrine.

He was surrounded by mist, the concentration far exceeding usual.

It was clear that Lu Ran could start the promotion mode at any time!

"Hum~ hum~"

The phone was still vibrating, unrelenting.

Lu Ran really wanted to wave his hand, summon Vicious Teeth, and bite this annoying thing to pieces.

After a while, the phone finally quieted down, but it was only a phased pause.

Just ten minutes later, the phone vibrated again.

"This is really..." Lu Ran opened his eyes helplessly. Sitting cross-legged, he didn't get up, but crawled straight to the small bed.

"Meow?"

In the corner of the room, on a soft mat, the little tabby tilted its little head, looking curiously at its master.

"Slap!"

Lu Ran slapped the phone on the bedside table with one hand, tapped his fingers repeatedly, and finally turned off the alarm.

Today was the day school started; it was time to go to class.

Lu Ran felt uncomfortable; he just wanted to break through the rank in one go and didn't want to go to class.

Actually, as early as the 19th of the 7th lunar month, Rain Alley City had been unsealed.

At that time, there were only 3 days left before school started, and Lu Ran hadn't even stepped out of the house, choosing to continue cultivating at home.

It was because he felt he was about to be promoted to Mist Realm, 5th stage!

Lu Ran clicked on his contacts and quickly dialed a number.

"Beep beep..." After a busy signal, the call was finally connected.

"Lu Ran?" Jiang Meiren's voice was gentle, carrying a hint of concern. "What's wrong?"

Such a reaction was completely different from the cold goddess who would only type "Mm" in WeChat!

"I'm... promoting... help me ask for..."

Lu Ran stuttered, "leave" hadn't even come out before he was interrupted.

"I know, go cultivate quickly." Jiang Ru Yi said hurriedly and hung up the phone immediately.

Lu Ran sighed deeply, knelt by the bed, leaned his upper body forward, and lay straight on the bed.

It really felt like "where you fall, you lie there for a while."

Mist swirled in the room, becoming increasingly dense.

Lu Ran's body also trembled slightly.

"Mm." Lu Ran buried his face in the bed, making a muffled sound.

Comfortable~

Very comfortable!

Really want to be promoted every day...

"Meow~" The little tabby walked over, jumped lightly, and jumped onto the small bed.

A soft cat paw gently batted Lu Ran's arm, clearly unable to understand what the master was doing, thinking he was crying.

"Shh." Lu Ran hugged the little tabby in his arms, rubbing his cheeks against the furry body.

"Meow~ meow~~" The little tabby was instantly unhappy, pushing Lu Ran, not wanting to be sucked.

However, the poor little fellow, how could it push away a two-legged beast?

The little tabby struggled for a long while, finally having to give up, looking lifeless.

My body is no longer clean.

Lu Ran just held the little tabby like this for more than ten minutes.

"Meow!"

Finally, the little tabby was freed.

Lu Ran trembled, loosening his embrace.

The mist in his body compressed and condensed frantically, and external mist poured into his body constantly, swelling Lu Ran until his face was red.

"Mm~" A nasal sound of extreme comfort sounded quietly.

Energy surged in the room, and Lu Ran gradually quieted down.

Mist Realm, 5th stage!

"Ha!" Lu Ran sat up straight, clenched his fists, feeling the happiness of being full of strength.

It couldn't be more refreshing!

Next, he could prepare to break through the great realm and step into the Stream Realm, 1st stage!

It wasn't that Lu Ran was greedy, wanting more.

Because within any great realm, when you cultivate to the 5th stage, you don't need the accumulation of quantity to cultivate upward.

In the process of cultivating the previous 5 small stages, you have already completed this accumulation.

Next, it depends on how you make a qualitative breakthrough!

As for how to break through...

It depends on fate, aptitude, and opportunity.

It depends on whether you can have a "flash of inspiration"!

In other words, Lu Ran might be promoted to Stream Realm, 1st stage in the next second.

Of course, he might be stuck here for three to five months, or ten to twenty years.

He might even be stuck for a lifetime!

This is why many believers are stuck at the 5th stage of a certain great realm.

Sun Zhengfang and Deng Yu Xiang are good examples.

Team Sun, over forty, and Deng Yu Xiang, only twenty, are both River Realm, 5th stage!

"God Xianyang!" Lu Ran looked excited and quickly went to the shrine.

White sheep jade sculpture: "Cultivation cannot be blind."

Lu Ran's expression became solemn, listening to the teachings.

White sheep jade sculpture: "At this stage, you only need to do one thing, which is to condense the mist in your body into streams of water."

"The day the streams converge is the day you are promoted to the Stream Realm."

"Yes!" Lu Ran nodded heavily.

Asking for some monthly tickets.
