This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 338 Possession of a King

The selection conference has come to a close.

Li Lan was taken into the Dao Palace by Elder Jincheng of the Golden Crow Clan, where he was first thoroughly questioned.

Li Lan had anticipated all of this, so in the end, Elder Jincheng and the others couldn't find anything and regarded Li Lan as a low-level cultivator who had never seen the world, which made them even happier!

You can trust people like this!

"This is the foundational scripture of our Golden Crow clan. You will cultivate it for a period of time, and the necessary resources will be provided. Once you have cultivated some true blood, I will give you a truly great opportunity!"

Elder Jincheng smiled slightly.

Li Lan was flattered and grateful. He accepted the scriptures and, guided by an attendant, entered a secret chamber to meditate in seclusion.

He picked up the basic cultivation technique of the Golden Crow Clan and glanced at it.

"That's quite interesting..."

Li Lan's eyes lit up. Although these techniques were very basic, he could tell that they must have been created by an extremely powerful expert. If they were to be developed to their fullest potential, they could probably rival techniques like the Limitless Battle Technique and the Boundless Divine Power.

Moreover, this method is a way to absorb the pure and intense Yang energy of heaven and earth to become powerful. In the end, it may really be able to devour the sun!

He immediately began practicing. These techniques were not difficult for him; in fact, he could master them quickly.

But he maintained a reasonable pace.

The Golden Crow Clan sent over special "fire crystals," which were the foundation of their cultivation. However, Li Lan did not truly absorb them; instead, he transformed these fire crystals into spiritual energy.

After all, no matter how many fire crystals there are, they won't actually have any effect on his bloodline or physical body.

Fan Jing had already refined his qi, blood, and physical constitution to the extreme, making him even more powerful than many ancient mythical beasts such as dragons and phoenixes. Then he returned to the ordinary from the extreme. It can be said that he has achieved the deepest level of evolution.

Therefore, what is extremely precious to ordinary cultivators is actually an impurity to him.

The Golden Crow Clan only desires "true blood"? Li Lan only needs to think of it, and his blood and qi can be generated.

Let alone just the Golden Crow, his qi and blood can be said to be ever-changing. It can be as long and slow as a black tortoise, or as fierce and domineering as a true dragon... because he has experienced and gone through all of these things in the process of cultivating the mortal scriptures.

……

And this moment.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, we've found it!"

Elder Jincheng excitedly reported this to Marquis Xiaoyao.

"very good!"

Marquis Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Originally, I came to the mortal realm to avoid disaster and to seek opportunities. I never expected that I would actually find a body with pure Yang energy..."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said, "Once I rise again as a pure Yang cultivator and return to my clan, I'll see who dares to challenge me!"

Elder Jincheng said obsequiously, "Throughout history, only two people from the Golden Crow Clan have walked this path, and both of them ultimately became the strongest in the heavens and suppressed the world. With such an opportunity, Your Excellency is bound to rise to great heights!"

……

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

"This basic technique is not enough for me to absorb the power of the sun in the Myriad Weapons Furnace."

Li Lan's body was undergoing a slow transformation. At the same time, he was trying to absorb the sun in the Myriad Weapons Furnace for his own use. However, although he could make the original sun resonate with him, he could not transform it into his own. Obviously, his cultivation in the Golden Crow Clan's laws was still shallow and he could not shake it.

The Golden Crow Technique is, after all, a divine king's technique. Therefore, even though Li Lan has now observed all the myriad paths and can understand the mysteries of all techniques, it is impossible for him to deduce the subsequent developments based on a basic technique.

We can only wait!

"Ning Fan, come with me."

Today, a member of the Golden Crow Clan finally arrived and led Li Lan into the main hall.

Elder Jin Cheng and the young genius Jin Chengyun were among those present.

Jin Cheng examined Li Lan's blood with a solemn expression. A pale golden substance had already formed in Li Lan's blood, which looked like flowing lava. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Come with me, and today I will give you a great opportunity."

He smiled slightly, then led Li Lan into a secret room.

This secret chamber was entirely constructed of black materials, isolating divine sense and extremely cold. It was a treasure trove for nurturing the soul. On an altar in front, there was a charred skeleton. A flash of light appeared from it, and a figure appeared.

It is none other than the Carefree Marquis!

"Reporting to the Marquis, this is Ning Fan, a pure Yang body. Currently, he has produced enough Golden Crow blood within his body."

Jin Cheng respectfully reported.

The Carefree Marquis nodded and said, "You may leave."

Jin Cheng then left, closing the gate to the place.

"Ning Fan, is there any wish you haven't fulfilled?"

The spirit of the Carefree Marquis stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at Li Lan: "If there are still any unfulfilled regrets, I can help you complete them."

"Reporting to the Marquis, there are none left."

Li Lan said.

"Alright!"

Marquis Xiaoyao said, "Come here, sit cross-legged, and circulate the Golden Crow Clan's cultivation technique. I will pass on a divine skill to you!"

Li Lan deliberately showed a look of surprise on his face, then immediately walked over, sat down in front of the altar, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his energy.

Marquis Xiaoyao was extremely satisfied, then suddenly his expression turned serious. He raised his hand and pointed at Li Lan's brow, his entire body transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into Li Lan's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Li Lan, I need to borrow your body for a while. This is your destiny in this life. Prepare to die!"

The Carefree Marquis pointed a finger directly at Li Lan's soul, intending to annihilate it.

Across from him, Li Lan looked surprised and seemed at a loss for what to do.

But, right now!

Suddenly, the scene around Xiaoyao Hou changed. Yellow smoke rose up, the sound of flowing water from the Yellow Springs rang out, and the Bridge of Helplessness, the Ten Great Halls and other scenes appeared instantly.

"what?!"

The carefree Marquis's expression immediately changed. What is this thing?

"Reincarnation?!"

When he saw the Bridge of Helplessness, the Sea of ​​Suffering, and other sights, he was completely stunned, and an incredulous look of horror appeared on his face!

How can it be?

How did I end up in the cycle of reincarnation?

"No...you're not Ning Fan, you're Li Lan?!"

As expected of a king of the Golden Crow Clan, he realized in an instant that everything here must be the legendary cycle of reincarnation, and that in the world today, there is only one person who controls reincarnation—the new master of reincarnation, Li Lan!

But isn't this person wanted by the Divine Realm? Even the God King Qin Zhong personally set up a plan in the Big Dipper to wait for him, yet he still dares to come, and even dares to come to the heart of the Golden Crow Clan to find him?

"How dare you! Do you really think that just because you control reincarnation, you can defy the heavens?"

The carefree Marquis coldly retorted, "So what if this place truly is a cycle of reincarnation?"

Based on various intelligence reports, Li Lan's cultivation level should not even have reached the point of touching the forbidden realm. In front of him, he is just an ant.

If he kills Li Lan, he can still get everything from Li Lan!

Thinking of this, he let out a cold shout, and the power of his primordial soul erupted. His humanoid soul body suddenly transformed into a giant golden crow. With the flapping of its huge wings, flames surged up, threatening to burn everything!

"Lord Xiaoyao, now that you're here, if you're a dragon, you should coil up; if you're a tiger, you should lie down!"

But at that moment, an old voice suddenly rang out from the Yellow Springs, and a phantom hand suddenly swept across, its power overwhelming!

"What?! Quasi-Supreme?!"

The carefree Marquis was immediately shocked!

Although he was a king or nobleman, even at his peak, his cultivation was only at the "Divine Fire" level, which was still extremely far from being a quasi-supreme!

Such a person would be an immortal being even in the realm of gods, and would never appear on ordinary days.

How can there be one in the cycle of reincarnation?

"No, you're not from the Imperial Star...you're from the Divine Realm!"

Marquis Xiaoyao's expression changed drastically. Sensing the faint aura emanating from the illusory hand, he suddenly exclaimed, "The Path of Immortality? I know now! You are the former ancestor of the Zhu Clan, Zhu Wusi?!"

Those who can reach the quasi-supreme level are all people of great importance in the Divine Realm. How could Xiaoyao Hou not know this?

But how did Zhu Wusi end up in the cycle of reincarnation, and even become Li Lan's person?!

"Are you going to betray the Divine Realm?"

He roared, but Zhu Wusi didn't even answer. His large hand simply fell, and Xiaoyao Hou let out a miserable cry, turning into a palm-sized ball of flame and falling down.

--After obtaining the corpse of God King Morang, Zhu Wusi slowly absorbed it, and now his realm and strength have recovered to most of their original levels!

Li Lan descended calmly, and with a wave of his hand, the soul of the Carefree Marquis was already in his grasp.

"Well done."

He calmly addressed the evil spirits of the Yellow Springs sitting beside the Stone of Oblivion on the shore of the Yellow Springs.

Zhu Wusi rose and respectfully bowed silently.

Although he has now recovered most of his strength, he still treats Li Lan with utmost respect and shows no intention of rebelling.

In fact, from the moment he helped Li Lan kill God King Morang, he was completely bound to Li Lan's cause.

Killing a god-king completely cut off his escape route in the divine realm.

This is why Li Lan felt comfortable giving him Morang God King's corpse.

Li Lan calmly picked up the soul of the Carefree Marquis, then suddenly two beams of light shot from his eyes—

He wanted to forcibly refine the Carefree Marquis and obtain everything about him, including his memories, inheritance, and cultivation techniques!

……

"Won't there be any problems?"

Outside the secret room, Jin Chengyun spoke nervously.

"Don't worry, young master,"

Jin Cheng calmly said, "Lord Marquis has been studying the Pure Yang Rebirth Method for quite some time now, and Li Lan's cultivation is shallow. It would be no difficulty for Lord Marquis to possess him!"

Jin Chengyun nodded as well.

"Reporting to the elder, young master, the Great Sun Body of Cihang Holy Land has arrived again. He is standing silently outside the palace with the Holy Maiden of Cihang Holy Land."

Just then, someone came to report: "He has brought a letter."

Jin Cheng took the letter, opened it, and glanced at it, quite surprised.

"what happened?"

Jincengyun asked a question.

"The holy maiden of Cihang Holy Land is a seed valued by the Brahma Sect of the Divine Realm. Upon learning that she had developed demonic thoughts, she entrusted us to help resolve them. In return, after you return to the Divine Realm, the Brahma Sect will give you a Peacock Pearl to help you obtain the Ancestral Golden Crow's inheritance."

Jincheng Road.

Upon hearing this, Jin Chengyun's breathing quickened slightly, and he said, "Agree to them!"

The ancestral Golden Crow inheritance within the Golden Crow clan is extremely important, as it relates to the future succession of the entire Golden Crow clan. Originally, if he hadn't lost his quasi-king level Sun Heart, he would almost certainly have obtained this qualification.

But that damned thief actually stole his treasure.

Although the Peacock King Pearl has reached the Quasi-King level of the Sun Heart, it is still very valuable, and all of them are the strongest among the divine birds. This item is too important for Jincengyun, who has lost the Sun Heart.

Jin Cheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "The Bodhisattva of the Brahma Sect is unwilling to descend to the mortal world and be tainted by worldly affairs, so he entrusted this matter to us for help. The reward is quite good. After the Marquis successfully possesses the body, we will report to him and then make a decision!"

Jin Chengyun nodded as well.

……

And this moment.

Outside the Golden Crow Clan's Taoist Palace.

Inside a bright white carriage, the Buddhist monk Jingchen, dressed in white, calmly looked at the woman opposite him and said, "How can one reach the other shore without eliminating demonic thoughts?"

"How could the Holy Maiden have been afflicted with such a demonic possession after her trip to the Ziwei Star Region?"

Opposite him, the stunningly beautiful woman, veiled, frowned deeply, seemingly enduring some kind of pain, forcibly suppressing something. But then, her aura faltered slightly, and a stubborn gaze hardened in her eyes as she stared directly at the Buddhist disciple, Jingchen, and said:

"The mortal world is also the other shore, and the human world is a pure land. If one only seeks to escape the world and does not even dare to stay in this mortal world for long, is one still a true Buddha who saves the world and delivers all living beings?"

Jingchen frowned. He knew that Miao Wuyu's demonic heart had the upper hand at this moment. He waved his hand, and Buddhist light shone. Instantly, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of Miao Wuyu's mouth.

"Will the Golden Crow clan agree to help me eliminate the demonic thoughts?"

A clear, cold voice rang out. The demonic heart had been suppressed, and the reason was now controlled by the pure, holy, and flawless Cihang Holy Maiden from the former Cihang Holy Land.

"They will. The divine realm has given them enough benefits."

Jingchen was absolutely certain.
