Chapter 92: Xiao Yan Joins the Yunlan Sect, the Existence Behind the Chat Group

An unprecedented sense of frustration, along with a touch of ruthlessness, emerged between the brows of Hun Heavenly Emperor.

He had schemed for so long, all just to step into the Dou Di realm.

Yet the scene unfolding now was a mockery of all his efforts.

All his painstaking labor could not compare to a reward from the Heavenly Court.

Nalan Yanran did nothing, yet she broke directly into the Dou Di realm, or perhaps even beyond Dou Di.

"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!"

Hun Heavenly Emperor wanted to use his final trump card immediately, preparing to blood-sacrifice the Hun Clan and stake everything on a desperate attempt to break through to the Dou Di realm.

Regrettably, Nalan Yanran did not give him that opportunity at all.

Nalan Yanran slapped Hun Heavenly Emperor down with a single palm.

The dignified Nine-Star Dou Sheng, one of the five supreme powerhouses of the Dou Qi Continent, was reduced to a bloody mist by that one palm.

This greatest villain of the Dou Qi Continent died just like that, filled with unwillingness.

Nalan Yanran instructed the Yunlan Sect Disciples, "Go, kill all of these people."

Now that she had joined the Heavenly Court and her strength had increased, she could truly plot to take the entire continent.

With Nalan Yanran's current strength, no one in the entire continent could stop her.

Nalan Yanran was not a person of great ambition.

But only by unifying the continent could she obtain more points to continue improving her own strength.

Although Nalan Yanran's strength was now sufficient to head to the Upper World, she did not do so.

The descent of Old Ancestor Minghe upon the Yunlan Sect caused another person to have a complete mental breakdown.

This person was the Son of Luck—Xiao Yan.

Old Ancestor Minghe's descent upon the Yunlan Sect to bestow blessings was announced to the heavens and earth; it could be said that everyone on the entire continent could hear it.

Let alone Xiao Yan, who actually had not traveled very far from the Yunlan Sect.

Xiao Yan naturally heard of Old Ancestor Minghe's descent upon the Yunlan Sect and his act of bestowing blessings upon the sect.

One must know that Xiao Yan was the Son of Luck of the Dou Qi Continent, but he was even more so a transmigrator.

The Heavenly Court, Old Ancestor Minghe—he had naturally heard of these mythological figures.

In his hometown from his past life, those things were merely legends from myths.

But now that he had transmigrated, it was very normal for those mythological figures to exist.

"The Heavenly Court, Old Ancestor Minghe? Honghuang?"

Xiao Yan asked in confusion, "Isn't this Old Ancestor Minghe the patriarch of the Ashura Clan? Since when did this Old Ancestor Minghe join the Heavenly Court?"

As Xiao Yan's Golden Finger grandfather, Yao Lao had always been omniscient.

At this moment, hearing Xiao Yan's words, he was also confused.

What was the Heavenly Court?

And who was Old Ancestor Minghe?

Why had he never heard of such figures during his lifetime?

Did such existences really exist on the Dou Qi Continent?

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder Nalan Yanran's strength is so powerful; it turns out she has connected to the Great Desolate World. Nalan Yanran, oh Nalan Yanran, don't you think you're being a bit too bullying?"

The Dou Qi Continent, with its powerful Dou Qi and various Dou Techniques.

It had left the newly transmigrated Xiao Yan dazzled and deeply shocked by the powerful forces of this world.

But even Xiao Yan knew that the Dou Qi Continent was nothing in the Great Desolate World.

He had originally thought that he, Xiao Yan, had activated a cheat and was bullying others a bit.

Damn it, the cheat Nalan Yanran activated was truly astonishing; she had directly connected to the Heavenly Court of the Great Desolate World.

He, Xiao Yan, only had a Golden Finger grandfather to help him.

Who knows how many grandfathers Nalan Yanran had helping her?

Any mythological figure walking out of the Heavenly Court would be a crushing force for this world.

The question he had never been able to understand, Xiao Yan finally understood.

It wasn't that his cultivation efforts were lacking; it was entirely because the cheat Nalan Yanran activated was too astonishing.

It was just too damn bullying.

He, Xiao Yan, only used a small cheat, while this Nalan Yanran was a complete cheater.

A small cheat doesn't count as cheating!

Xiao Yan understood now, and felt even more frustrated.

It turned out he hadn't lost to Nalan Yanran; he had just lost to Nalan Yanran's cheat.

Yao Lao couldn't help his curiosity and asked, "The Heavenly Court? Minghe Daoren, what kind of existence is that?"

Yao Lao had always played the role of an omniscient encyclopedia for Xiao Yan.

Yao Lao was truly curious why Xiao Yan knew about Old Ancestor Minghe and the Heavenly Court when he himself had never heard of them.

Hearing Yao Lao's inquiry, Xiao Yan immediately explained, "The Heavenly Court is a major power in a powerful world. As for Old Ancestor Minghe, he is a powerhouse at the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm."

Although he didn't know why Old Ancestor Minghe of the Great Desolate World would represent the Heavenly Court in his descent.

But Xiao Yan was clear that the Heavenly Court was very strong, and Old Ancestor Minghe was also very strong.

"How do they compare to a Dou Di?"

Yao Lao asked.

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan fell silent.

He wondered if there was any basis for comparison.

Xiao Yan sighed and said hesitantly, "Dou Di? Perhaps someone could crush a Dou Di with just a single finger."

Of course, everything Xiao Yan said was speculation, but the power of the Heavenly Court and Old Ancestor Minghe was absolute.

What Xiao Yan had always pursued was to stand at the peak of the continent, become a Dou Sheng, and charge toward the Dou Di realm.

But now he realized that this goal of his was not enough.

The Heavenly Court had descended and even bestowed methods of cultivation.

On this Dou Qi Continent, could a Dou Di still be considered a powerhouse?

Yao Lao, upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, was rendered completely silent.

In his eyes, a Dou Di was the most peak existence on this continent.

A Dou Di was the symbol of invincibility, and it was difficult to easily produce one even over the span of several thousand years.

Yao Lao said with a hint of skepticism, "That cannot be."

It was truly that what Xiao Yan said was constantly impacting his cognition, equivalent to a reshaping of his past values.

Xiao Yan said with certainty, "There is nothing impossible; that comes from another powerful World. Nalan Yanran connected to that Heavenly Court and received blessings. Otherwise, how could Nalan Yanran be so strong?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yan still felt somewhat depressed.

For three years, he had cultivated painstakingly, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

Yet he had lost to a cheater.

However, it was at least some comfort to Xiao Yan, making him understand that it was not that he hadn't worked hard enough, but that the cheat the other party used was too great.

A single sentence from Xiao Yan left Yao Lao with nothing to say.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, where would an eighteen-year-old Dou Sheng be born?

Even Dou Dis were not that monstrous when they were young.

They both guessed that Nalan Yanran must have obtained a fortuitous encounter, but they had not expected that the other party had connected to an even more powerful World.

But only this could explain all the unreasonable aspects of Nalan Yanran.

Yao Lao also had to believe Xiao Yan's words.

Xiao Yan pondered for a few seconds, then spoke, "Teacher, I want to join the Yunlan Sect."

"Join the Yunlan Sect? Why is that?"

Yao Lao subconsciously retorted, "Your stage is Zhongzhou, the center of the continent."

"Teacher, from now on, wherever the Yunlan Sect is, that is where the center of the continent is."

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "The major powers of Zhongzhou? The Ancient Clan? The trend of the continent's future will be dominated by the Yunlan Sect, and dominated by Nalan Yanran."

Xiao Yan saw things more clearly than anyone else.

One must know that Old Ancestor Minghe had bestowed cultivation techniques and divine abilities upon the Yunlan Sect.

How could the cultivation techniques and Dou techniques of the Dou Qi Continent compare to the cultivation techniques and divine abilities of the Honghuang World?

What was there to compare with?

Comparing with Dou Qi turning into horses?

Therefore, joining the Yunlan Sect now was the best choice.

Xiao Yan did not know that Nalan Yanran had the intention to unify the entire continent, but he knew that only by joining the Yunlan Sect would he have the opportunity to learn Honghuang Daoist techniques and divine abilities.

Yao Lao sighed faintly, and finally pondered for a moment before saying, "If you join the Yunlan Sect, then you will forever be beneath Nalan Yanran in the future."

"It does not matter; she and I do not have a life-or-death feud."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists and said, "Even if the Yunlan Sect has ill intentions, the Daoist techniques and divine abilities bestowed by the Heavenly Court are worth me gambling on once."

Yao Lao was silent for a long time, then asked, "Then are you going to abandon your current method of cultivation?"

"How could that be?"

Xiao Yan told Yao Lao his thoughts, "A true powerhouse must walk a path that belongs to themselves. Honghuang Daoist techniques and divine abilities are powerful, but that is not my path. I want to learn those Daoist techniques and divine abilities and integrate them to make them my own."

This was Xiao Yan's true thought: let me be the master, and let them be used by me.

If he abandoned his own cultivation method and switched entirely to Honghuang Daoist techniques and divine abilities, that would be abandoning his own path.

Xiao Yan's idea was to practice Honghuang Daoist techniques and divine abilities and integrate them.

Then, combine them with his own Burning Mantra to see if he could walk a path that belonged to himself.

Xiao Yan vaguely had a feeling that his future path of the Great Dao lay within the Burning Mantra and within the Strange Fire.

Therefore, he would absolutely not abandon this path.

But before that, he had to see more scenery in order to achieve complete mastery.

Xiao Yan said this and self-deprecatingly remarked, "Moreover, it is still too early to say these things. Even if I join the Yunlan Sect, I am afraid it will take some time before I can practice those Honghuang Daoist techniques and divine abilities."

After all, in Xiao Yan's view, the Daoist techniques and divine abilities bestowed by the Primordial Heavenly Court must be extremely precious.

Even in the Yunlan Sect, it was likely that only core Disciples who had gained recognition could practice them.

After he, Xiao Yan, joined the Yunlan Sect, he would likely still need to work hard and contribute more to the Yunlan Sect to have the opportunity to practice those precious Daoist techniques and divine abilities.

Yao Lao heard that Xiao Yan had plans for his future and was not blindly choosing to join the Yunlan Sect, so he agreed with Xiao Yan's approach.

After all, Yao Lao was also very interested in the legendary Daoist techniques and divine abilities of that more powerful World.

After making the decision, Xiao Yan immediately returned to the Yunlan Sect.

Nalan Yanran was quite surprised to know that Xiao Yan had returned again.

Could it be that this Son of Luck was still unconvinced and wanted to challenge her?

As for the current Nalan Yanran, let alone the current Xiao Yan, she had the confidence to suppress even a Xiao Yan who had achieved the Dou Di realm in a single battle.

Seeing Nalan Yanran appear, Xiao Yan immediately cupped his fists and said without hesitation, "Sect Master Nalan, Xiao Yan wishes to join the Yunlan Sect."

After saying this, Xiao Yan also felt his face flush, and at the same time, he felt somewhat uneasy.

A young man, after all, cares about his face and has his self-esteem.

The last time he came was to fulfill a promise; this time, it was to join the Yunlan Sect.

Nalan Yanran had not expected that Xiao Yan would choose to join the Yunlan Sect.

But soon, she understood why Xiao Yan would do this.

After a moment's thought, Nalan Yanran agreed to let Xiao Yan join the Yunlan Sect.

First, she had indeed been in the wrong regarding the matters of the past.

Second, Xiao Yan was the Son of Luck of this World, and having the Son of Luck join the Yunlan Sect—

—would surely make everything the Yunlan Sect did in the future go smoothly.

Nalan Yanran was preparing to unify the entire Dou Qi Continent, and it was precisely the time when she needed people.

However, Nalan Yanran still asked, "Xiao Yan, if you enter my Yunlan Sect, can you obey my orders?"

Nalan Yanran intended to bring the entire continent under her rule.

She wanted to lead this continent toward development.

But at the same time, she knew that she would be an obstacle to many people.

Perhaps in the eyes of many, she was an ambitious careerist.

Xiao Yan did not hesitate and said, "Once I have entered the Yunlan Sect, I shall naturally obey the Sect Master's orders."

Nalan Yanran nodded and said, "Then you may stay. I know what your goal is; I am now entrusting you with a task. As long as you complete this task, I will impart the Heavenly Court cultivation technique to you."

Hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Xiao Yan became rarely excited, and he asked, "Sect Master, please give your command."

"The Hun Clan leader, Hun Heavenly Emperor, is dead. You take people to wipe out the Hun Clan, and at the same time, seize control of all the forces on the continent that can be controlled."

Nalan Yanran instructed, "If you do as I am satisfied, then I will bestow the technique upon you."

Nalan Yanran had only killed Hun Heavenly Emperor and a portion of the people Hun Heavenly Emperor had brought with him.

The entire Soul Hall, and even the Hun Clan, were still at large.

The Soul Hall and the Hun Clan were basically people of deep sin, and there was no need to subjugate them.

As for having Xiao Yan subjugate other forces, this was Nalan Yanran testing Xiao Yan.

She did not want this Son of Luck to eventually become an obstacle to her unification of the continent.

Under Nalan Yanran's command, the entire Yunlan Sect was set in motion, beginning to lay out plans across the entire continent.

Great Primordial World.

"How bold. It seems I was a bit negligent."

Qin Hao stood up in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and pulled out a thread of Qi Luck.

He had refined the Heavens Chat Group himself, and he thought there were no hidden tricks left.

But who would have thought that this Heavens Chat Group still held hidden tricks; this was his negligence.

Qin Hao had always been clear about things like the Heavens Chat Group.

These were Bait casually thrown out by certain powerful existences in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

When Qin Hao first obtained the Heavens Chat Group, he had re-refined it.

Who would have thought that he would miscalculate in the end.

Although most of the hidden tricks in the Heavens Chat Group had been cleared away, making it completely belong to Qin Hao—

—there was still another Qi Luck amplification function within it, which Qin Hao had not purged.

Thinking about it now, he had been too hasty at the time.

Qin Hao had always specialized in the Dao of Qi Luck; he was able to reach this step today, turning danger into safety, by relying on the Dao of Qi Luck.

He had forgotten that in this world, there was never any Qi Luck that appeared out of thin air without cause.

In other worlds, when major forces joined the Heavenly Court, they could naturally obtain Qi Luck.

But where did the Qi Luck from that Qi Luck amplification critical hit come from?

There is nothing in this world that comes from Nothingness; energy is conserved, and Qi Luck is even more so.

Only upon inspection now did Qin Hao discover that those portions of Qi Luck were actually the back-hand left by the mastermind behind the scenes.

In his eyes, those portions of Qi Luck that appeared out of thin air were different from pure Qi Luck.

On the surface, there was no difference, but those portions of Qi Luck were actually black.

The owner of the Heavens Chat Group used this method to plant black Qi Luck throughout the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

On one hand, it could locate other worlds; on the other hand, could black Qi Luck be anything good?

Black Qi Luck is equivalent to misfortune.

Qin Hao easily understood the schemes of the Great Power behind the Heavens Chat Group.

He feared that the Qi Luck he had gathered from the Heavens and Myriad Worlds would all end up as a wedding dress for that person behind the scenes.

If he were not prepared, this Qi Luck would likely be directly plundered by the mastermind.

A sense of vigilance arose in Qin Hao's heart; indeed, these Heavens and Myriad Worlds were not to be underestimated.

There were weak worlds like the Great Qin World, the Eastern Han World, and the Douqi World.

But there were also powerful worlds, and those powerful worlds harbored experts who had transcended the Heavens.

Their gazes were already set upon the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, using various methods to fish in the Heavens and scheme against the Myriad Worlds.

"However, to scheme against me, you must pay a price."

Qin Hao directly detonated those black portions of Qi Luck, and then the powers of curse, Causality, and Fate followed the source of that black Qi Luck.

He wanted to see exactly which world's Great Power had employed such means.

The terrifying misfortune triggered the powers of curse, Causality, and Fate, which backlashed toward the source.

In a world that had been powerful since time immemorial, a supreme existence opened its eyes.

"Interesting, within these Heavens and Myriad Worlds, does there still exist a Great World that can rival the Zhushen Shijie?"

Between his eyes, order and the Great Dao rise and fall; his every word and phrase changes the rules of heaven and earth.

With his words, the law follows; he is not an incarnation of the Great Dao, he is the Great Dao itself.

The powers of Causality, curses, and Fate detonated directly around his body, following the black misfortune.

Yet Qin Hao stood within the Great Dao River, facing him across the void.

Boom, boom, boom!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion rang out within the Great Dao River, as countless Great Daos shattered, vanished, and were reborn.

"Main God World, Great Dao deity?"

The Causality from the nether feedback to Qin Hao, and Qin Hao also learned and understood a little about the situation of this World.

This is a world where everyone is a deity; in this World, every person is a deity from the moment of birth.

What they need to do is ignite the divine fire, hold high their Shenguo, and from a divine person, step by step, grow into a Supreme God.

And the Great Power who released the Heavens Chat Group is a Great Dao deity of this World—Yao Yue Zhushen.

This World is extremely powerful; with Qin Hao's strength, he could only obtain this little bit of feedback.

Yao Yue Zhushen collided with Qin Hao once within the Great Dao River, and with a hint of interest, said, "To be able to traverse the Heavens and Myriad Worlds and find this deity? Your strength is not bad."

Qin Hao looked at Yao Yue Zhushen indifferently; those terrifying powers of curses, Causality, and Fate from just a moment ago had not dissipated.

Like maggots on rotting bones, they exploded within the divine body of Yao Yue Zhushen.

At this moment, Yao Yue Zhushen actually felt his Shenguo shaking, his divine office being weakened, and his divine authority being stripped away.

Originally, Yao Yue Zhushen had always been very confident, but an unprecedented solemnity appeared on his face.

To be able to follow the Chat Group and find this place—his original strength is actually this powerful.
