Chapter 576: From Now On, Walk Sideways?

When Lu Ran walked through all seven islands and recovered the last Wicked Mirror Demon, he tasted the feeling of his brain vibrating again!

The Wicked Mirror Yemo Yemo Xiesu had advanced!

For a time, Lu Ran didn't know if he should be happy or sigh.

He occupied the seven overseas islands in early June this year.

Today is the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

A full six months, and the seven Wicked Mirror Demons guarding the seven islands joined forces to give the Demon Master a ride.

But it was only a ride.

How much Holy Spirit Qi the Wicked Mirror Demons contributed, Lu Ran didn't have exact data.

He also didn't know how much Holy Spirit Qi the Sea Realm · First Stage Wicked Mirror Yemo Yemo Xiesu in the sculpture garden needed to advance to the second stage.

At least 1 wisp, at most a thousand wisps.

So this time, Lu Ran grew a heart.

While making Wicked Mirror Demons again and teaching them to collect Holy Spirit Qi, he also let them record the data collected.

Every time one wisp of Holy Spirit Qi was obtained, a line was drawn on the cave stone wall.

The little demons were smart enough and easily understood Lu Ran's meaning.

Lu Ran didn't find this surprising; after all, when the Wicked Mirror Demon clan harmed living beings, their torture methods could be described as varied.

Their IQ is high!

Recording data casually is simply not too simple.

That night, Lu Ran supported his buzzing brain and scouted two more islands.

As the sky brightened and the Wicked Mirror Yemo Yemo Xiesu advanced to the Sea Realm · Second Stage, he could make two more River Estuary Realm peak Wicked Mirror Demons.

With this, Seven Star Island became history.

Nine Star Island went online!

Lu Ran felt that he could recall the 3 Wicked Mirror Demons guarding the three directions of Cloud Sea Cliff and let them all go to the island.

Directly make it Twelve Star Island...

After thinking about it, Lu Ran still let them continue to guard Cloud Sea Cliff.

There were nearly a hundred Ran Sect disciples.

Everyone trusted Lu Ran so much and wanted to follow Sect Master Lu to live a stable life, so Lu Ran naturally had to guard Cloud Sea Cliff well.

In the next few days, Lu Ran led the Shadow Guard team and searched wildly on the sea.

Teleporting and flashing, the efficiency was incredibly high!

Heaven does not disappoint those who work hard!

On the fourth day, Lu Ran and the others finally found a sea island.

Or rather, it should be called an Xiandao...

"Eh! Eh?!"

Inside the Flying Immortal Hall of Cloud Sea Cliff, which should have been an incomparably solemn and dignified place, a girl's exclamation came.

A group of Ran Sect disciples who were worshipping gods were immediately dissatisfied!

People looked up one after another, glaring at the noisy person.

They discovered that the person disturbing the order was actually Protector Mad Immortal, who was sitting in the hall?

Everyone was immediately puzzled.

They had joined the Ran Sect for four or five days and had figured out the internal structure of the sect, knowing that they belonged to the Flying Immortal Hall.

The Hall Master was named Song Yu, and above him, there was Protector Mad Immortal, one of the four protectors of the Ran Sect, presiding over the overall situation.

As a result, this protector...

Knowing it was wrong but committing it?

At this time, Si Xianxian was deep in the hall, kneeling in front of Jiang Ruyi's massive stone sculpture.

Her body was trembling, and she had already understood what had happened.

The Lie Tian divine sculpture had advanced!

From the peak of the River Estuary Realm, it was taking big strides into the Sea Realm!

Si Xianxian's face was flushed red, and realizing that many people were looking at her, she immediately turned her head and shouted: "What are you looking at?

Can't you pray peacefully because of this little situation?

Is this what you call piety?"

A group of believers lowered their heads one after another, and some even looked ashamed.

This move of the villain complaining first could be considered to have been played out by Sister Xian...

"Hmph," Si Xianxian carried her Mad Hammer, stood up, and walked quickly toward the outside of the hall.

Damn guy!

You should have told me in advance!

Is it that hard to send a transmission?

At the same time, in the Cloud Sea Residence courtyard, a surge of energy suddenly appeared.

*Swish~*

An antique floor mirror expanded rapidly.

"You guys, do as you please," Lu Ran said casually, walking toward the door.

Yan Shuangzi looked at Lu Ran's excited back, and a smile appeared on her expressionless face.

The hard searching of the past few days, and the fierce battles with demon clans like the Ink Carp army, the Raging Sea Flame Jiaoren, and the Wicked Mirror Demons—it was all worth it!

What did the Sea Realm · Lie Tian divine sculpture mean for Lu Ran?

It meant absolute right to speak!

The Sea-grade Lie Fire Heavenly Chief could let Lu Ran occupy an absolute upper hand when facing Sea Realm living beings!

Even if the other party was a Heavenly Realm powerhouse, Lu Ran should be able to wrestle with them, right?

The problem was, how many Heavenly Realm powerhouses were there in the mountain realm?

My own Sect Master...

In this Holy Spirit Mountain, he was afraid he could walk sideways!

Yan Shuangzi was sincerely happy for Lu Ran, while at this time, Lu Ran fell headfirst onto the bed in the bedroom.

He immediately entered the spiritual world, found the Dongting divine sculpture, and chose to activate it.

Come on, let the storm come more violently!

"Boom—"

Lu Ran's head went blank, and his eyes gradually became hollow.

Actually, having two stone sculptures advance together was not Lu Ran's limit; he could still act, but if another stone sculpture vibrated, Lu Ran would completely collapse.

However, Lu Ran intended to be a bit better to himself.

Having two little ancestors making trouble together was enough for him to suffer.

After activating the stone sculpture, Lu Ran didn't try to maintain sanity and didn't try to think.

The main idea was:

Give up resistance, I am a moron!

Lu Ran lay spread-eagled on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, motionless.

He didn't know how long exactly had passed.

In a daze, amidst the buzzing sound, he faintly heard a familiar female voice.

【Lu Ran? Lu Ran?】

【Ah?】 Moron Lu responded dazed.

【Lend me the little Little Chifeng; I want to break through and advance.】

【Ah...】

【Hehe~】 Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but let out a light laugh, feeling that Lu Ran didn't seem very smart, 【What's wrong with you, are you confused from sleep?】

"Ugh," Lu Ran grimaced, sat up, and rubbed his head hard.

He thought quite a bit of time had passed, but he discovered that the Lie Tian divine sculpture was still vibrating!

Advancing from the peak of the River Estuary Realm to the Sea Realm took half a day.

That is to say, he hadn't been empty-minded for long.

"Phoenix, little Phoenix?" Lu Ran's head was buzzing, and he didn't even want to transmit.

*Whoosh~*

By the pillow, the little Little Chifeng flew over silently and touched Lu Ran's arm lightly.

"Ah, you're here!" Lu Ran turned his head and only then discovered the little guy.

Little Little Chifeng: "..."

I have been sticking to your cheek and sleeping with you all along!

Can't you feel it at all?

"Go, find Mom... cough, find Ruyi," Lu Ran patted the Little Chifeng-patterned gourd, "She is in seclusion room number one."

After saying this, Lu Ran leaned back and lay on the bed again.

The Little Chifeng-patterned gourd floated and remained silent.

Seeing that its master was "lying like a corpse" and had no reaction, the little Little Chifeng had to fly away unhappily.

Mom?

She is as terrifying as that woman.

Both are very strict.

Don't like them.

At night, the Lie Tian divine sculpture finally stopped expanding and settled down.

Sea Realm · First Stage!

At the same time, the Dongting divine sculpture had also reached the peak of the River Estuary Realm, and it didn't stop, still charging toward the Sea Realm.

Lu Ran had completely entered a state of emptiness and didn't notice any of this.

Even though thick fog gradually drifted in the room...

Three days later, the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

A fairy shadow holding a Little Chifeng-patterned gourd descended from the sky.

*Swish~*

A woman appeared out of thin air, blocking the door, holding two daggers with cold light in her hands.

"Shadow Guard?" Jiang Ruyi stood in the air, looking at the strange woman below.

This person was wearing a green rain cape and straw hat, a very typical Ran Sect soldier outfit.

Just when she came out of seclusion, Protector Nightmare, who went to congratulate her, told Jiang Ruyi about the changes in the Ran Sect in recent days.

Zhong Ling also sized up the newcomer carefully; this white-skirted woman matched the image of the stone sculpture deep in the Flying Immortal Hall infinitely.

And the woman was holding the Little Chifeng-patterned gourd.

This already indicated a lot.

Is this the Sect Master's wife?

The face missing from the stone sculpture in the hall was actually such an exquisite and cold face...

Protector Evil Shadow immediately appeared and bowed to Jiang Ruyi: "Madam."

"Hm," Jiang Ruyi flew down into the courtyard slowly.

"This is Shadow Three," Yan Shuangzi told the story of Lu Ran establishing the Shadow Guard team in a few words.

"Sorry, Madam, your subordinate didn't recognize you," Shadow Three lowered her head.

"It's okay," Jiang Ruyi smiled, not caring.

"Congratulations to Madam for advancing to the peak of the River Estuary Realm," Yan Shuangzi congratulated softly.

"Hm," Jiang Ruyi said while walking, "Is he home?"

"A few days ago, Master absorbed all the Holy Spirit Qi on an Xiandao; since he returned to the residence, he has been lying there, motionless."

Yan Shuangzi's tone was slightly worried, and she added: "Mr. Conglong came to see him and said the Sect Master should be fine."

Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly, her pace quickening a bit.

She knew clearly that the advancement of the stone sculptures in Lu Ran's spiritual world had a huge impact on his state.

When Jiang Ruyi came to the bedroom, she found Lu Ran was indeed lying on the bed.

She came to the bedside quietly, leaned over to look, and heard his steady breathing.

Is he advancing?

Or is he sleeping?

Jiang Ruyi hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to disturb him rashly.

She took off her dress and shoes, carefully lay on her side beside him, and looking at this soundly sleeping face, she felt much more at ease in her heart.

Perhaps, he was just too tired.

Jiang Ruyi knew very well how high the intensity of Lu Ran's tasks was.

He first advanced himself, taking nine days; when he was close to success, Deng Yuxiang caught a ride, which was another eight or nine days.

Lu Ran had been guarding Cloud Sea Cliff without sleep or rest.

After Deng Yuxiang came out of seclusion, Lu Ran went to the Forbidden City, and after returning, he recruited believers and presided over the overall situation.

Afterward, Lu Ran went to sea that night...

Sea Realm powerhouses indeed had energy far exceeding ordinary people.

But unlike eating and drinking, they needed to sleep a little.

Mental fatigue could only be alleviated by related divine techniques; if one really wanted to recover, the best way was still sleep.

A hint of heartache flashed in the Fairy Jiang's eyes.

She moved lightly, and her slender hand quietly placed into his palm.

"Heh..."

Feeling his warm palm, she finally let out a breath.

Should I just leave?

Jiang Ruyi pressed her lips together, struggling in her heart.

What if I suddenly advance to the Sea Realm and wake him up?

Jiang Ruyi didn't know that Lu Ran, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, was currently in the God-Demon Sculpture Garden, staring blankly at an incomparably huge divine sculpture...

This damn thing!

This...?
