The shadows of the ancient Taixu dragon and the ancient sky phoenix loomed on Lin Ran's body, coupled with the terrifying power of the Holy Gold Meteorite Heart Fire, Lin Ran's power at this moment was inferior to that of Yao Chen, a semi-saint.
The terrifying cultivation level of the peak Dou Zun made Yao Chen and Feng Xian's faces change drastically.
You should know that before the retreat, Lin Ran's cultivation was only at the peak of the five-star Dou Zun. In just one year, Lin Ran's cultivation had actually broken through to the peak of the first-turn Dou Zun.
This kind of thing is unprecedented even in the history of Douqi Continent!
The most important thing is that in the perception of Yao Chen and Feng Xian, Lin Ran's aura is extremely solid, without any empty feeling. It doesn't seem like the situation after Douqi has soared and skyrocketed. Instead, it seems like a breakthrough after countless tempering.
"Master, what did you get from that ruins?"
Feng Xian's face was full of disbelief. This kind of thing was really beyond his imagination.
As if hearing Feng Xian's murmur, Lin Ran stretched lazily, and his skin suddenly began to move, and the bones in his body were like complex machines that had been turned on, and crisp sounds of bones rubbing and colliding could be heard.
"call..."
Feeling the sense of comfort spreading throughout his body, a breath of hot air came out of Lin Ran's mouth along his throat.
"The peak of Dou Zun? That's within my expectations."
Lin Ran clenched his palms slightly, feeling the vast ocean-like fighting spirit in his body, and couldn't help but be fascinated. This kind of power has a crazy temptation. Countless people have spent their entire lives fighting for this kind of power.
However, only Lin Ran himself knew that this peak of Dou Zun was actually not the limit of his retreat this time.
In fact, it was just the beginning!
If someone could observe Lin Ran's body at this moment, they would find that in addition to the hot beating heart in Lin Ran's chest, there was also a purple-gold crystal floating next to the heart.
The crystal was purple-gold in color, with shadows of ancient dragons and celestial phoenixes hovering on its surface. The energy contained within it was so high that it was simply unimaginable.
This is exactly the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit that Lin Ran swallowed.
Yes.
Lin Ran had not digested much of the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, which was considered a treasure to the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. The reason why he was able to break through from the peak of the five-star Dou Zun to the peak of the first-level Dou Zun was purely because of the Dou Sheng skeleton.
At most, he absorbed less than one tenth of the power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!
"Although I have the blood of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon, I am not the Grand Void Ancient Dragon after all. It is impossible for me to devour such a huge power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit by myself."
"I originally thought of getting a dragon-phoenix body first, and then using my blood essence to feed Zi Yan little by little. Now it seems that I have to absorb this power directly with her..."
Lin Ran murmured in his heart, and then turned his attention to Yao Chen and Feng Xian in front of him.
Seeing the tiredness between their brows, Lin Ran smiled: "During the time I was in seclusion, you seemed to have encountered some troubles."
"Master, you are finally awake."
Feng Xian looked at Lin Ran with resentment on his face: "It's more than just trouble. Those Warcraft families come to our house almost every other day. The old man and I are almost exhausted."
"The Nine Nether Earth Python's clan leader Yao Xiaotian, the Sky Demon Phoenix clan elders Kun Huang and Ying Huang, the clan leader, clan leader, they are all real Dou Sheng masters." Yao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "We are really under too much pressure."
"Ahahahaha, this is just the right time for you to get in touch with a Dou Sheng. Maybe if you, Yao Chen, feel more of the Dou Sheng's aura, you can also break through to the Dou Sheng level."
"Thank you for your hard work. I have already come out of seclusion this time. If they come looking for me again, just let them come to me."
Lin Ran laughed.
He didn't expect that a casual mention of his in the ancient ruins would lead to the two major Warcraft families coming to him with such enthusiasm. It seems that the things he left for the two Warcraft families have played a good effect.
Seeing Lin Ran being so shameless, Yao Chen and Feng Xian were both helpless.
It's really rare to have such a sect leader.
"By the way, Sect Master, during the time you were in seclusion, a lot of things happened in the Northwest Continent."
"Northwest Continent?"
Lin Ran frowned slightly, and the smile on his face faded: "Soul Palace?"
Yao Chen showed surprise on his face: "Sect Master, how did you know?"
"You can guess it."
Lin Ran shook his head: "There are only so many strong people in the Northwest Continent. It has been peaceful for who knows how many years. How could something suddenly happen? If something really happens, it must be someone causing trouble."
"On the entire continent, the only ones with such abilities and ambitions are the guys in the Soul Palace."
"What the Sect Master said is absolutely true."
Yao Chen nodded with emotion: "The reason for the chaos in the northwest continent this time is the Soul Palace!"
"While you were in seclusion, a sect in the northwest continent called the Lion Nether Sect suddenly began a massive conquest. Wherever the sect's strongmen went, no one could defeat them. In less than half a year, countless forces in the northwest continent fell under their control."
"Later, the Lion Nether Sect set its sights on the overlord of the northwest continent, the Sky Snake Empire, which is also known as the Sky Snake Palace..."
Yao Chen talked eloquently, describing how the Lion Nether Sect became stronger with the help of the strong men from the Soul Palace, devoured those big forces, and set its sights on the Sky Snake Mansion, and was finally rescued by Green Clothes.
Lin Ran's face changed. After hearing the news that Green Clothes brought human puppets, defeated the prison of the Eight Heavenly Lords of the Soul Palace, and eliminated the Lion Nether Sect, his face became even more exciting.
"Good job, Green."
In the original novel, Medusa's Yan League was besieged by the Lion Nether Sect and was almost destroyed. If Xiao Yan hadn't arrived in time, the entire Yan League would have been destroyed.
Unexpectedly, in this life, Lu Yi was directly captured by the Lion Nether Sect, and also saved the Sky Snake Mansion and Qing Lin, which really surprised Lin Ran.
It seems that at this moment the combined strength of the Holy Rain Sect has completely surpassed that of the Flame Alliance!
"By the way, Sect Master, this is the information that the green-robed elder just sent to me some time ago. Please take a look at it."
As he spoke, Yao Chen took out a scroll from his storage ring.
Lin Ran took it curiously and checked the information in it. The more he read, the more surprised he looked.
This scroll not only records the development of the Holy Rain Sect during this period, but also records that the Little Medical Immortal ascended the throne of the Izumo Empire, reached in-depth cooperation with Cai Lin's Snake Empire and Yun Yun's Yunlan Empire, and announced the establishment of a "Holy Federation" with the Holy Rain Sect as the center.
Not only that, there is also news about Qinglin.
After helping the Sky Snake Palace resolve the threat from the Lion Sect, Qinglin, with the help of the Sky Snake Palace and Luyi, became the Palace Master of the Sky Snake Palace, and also ascended the throne to become the empress of the Sky Snake Empire, and announced her joining the Holy Federation.
"Ancient Sky Snake? The cultivation seal inheritance of the Sky Snake Palace Master?"
Lin Ran frowned slightly.
He originally thought that Qinglin would miss this opportunity, but he didn't expect that Qinglin not only got the soul of the ancient sky snake by accident, but also got the cultivation of the former master of the Sky Snake Mansion!
Lin Ran didn't know whether this opportunity was caused by Qing Lin's good fortune or by some invisible hand…
"I don't know how Xiao Yan is doing now. It seems that I have to find a time to synchronize that soul power."
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and had something in mind.
"By the way, Sect Master, the time you came out of retreat is just right. These two days happen to be the Danta's Alchemy Conference. Danta has already sent an invitation letter."
As if he had thought of something, Yao Chen took out several invitation letters from the ring, one of which was quite special and completely different from the other invitation letters.
"Last time you said that you also wanted to attend the Alchemy Conference. I mentioned it to those three guys. Here is the invitation letter to the Alchemy Conference. Do you think you are..."
"Forget it, I'm just saying it casually. If you really go, it would be a bit of a bully. You should choose a young person with good alchemy skills. By the way, I remember Han Feng always wanted to go to the alchemy meeting. How is he?"
Lin Ran shook his head.
If he was bored, it would be fine to go to the alchemy association to take a look, but he still had a lot of things to deal with, and going to the alchemy association would be a waste of time.
For example, Qing Lin's situation and the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in his body both require a lot of time to deal with, not to mention the Nine Nether Earth Python and the Sky Demon Phoenix, who are eyeing him very covetously.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Han Feng?"
Hearing the name, Yao Chen paused slightly, with an unnatural look on his face, which made Lin Ran a little curious.
What, has that filial son done something incredible again?
"For some reason, that kid has not been as interested in alchemy as before recently. Instead, he is very interested in the essence and blood of those monsters. He even started to experiment on himself..."
Yao Chen sighed and said, "He has the Sea Heart Flame, and the essence and blood of those monsters have merged well with his body. His cultivation has also improved a lot. Therefore, I found him a ground-level technique that can be cultivated with the power of monsters, and then I didn't care about it. I let him go to the Alchemy Conference, so as not to embarrass himself."
"Blood of Warcraft?"
Lin Ran was slightly stunned. He remembered that Han Feng seemed to have asked him for a drop of blood essence. Could it be related to this?
Shaking his head, Lin Ran did not care much. It was Han Feng's own business to choose which path. As long as this filial son did not do anything to backstab him, it would be fine.
In fact, it is impossible for such a thing as backstabbing to happen. All the members of the Holy Sect will be subtly infected by the Holy Golden Meteorite Heart Fire. For someone like Han Feng who has joined the Holy Sect for a long time, his loyalty is beyond doubt.
Afterwards, Yao Chen and Feng Xian reported the current situation of Xingyun Pavilion. Their words were full of resentment, and they were quite dissatisfied with Lin Ran's hands-off approach.
Fortunately, Lin Ran was thick-skinned enough and was not affected at all.
However, as if he couldn't bear the consequences, Lin Ran just wandered around Xingyun Pavilion for two days, instructing a group of Xingyun Pavilion disciples and making his presence felt.
Such days ended only on the third day, when two figures, one big and one small, came to the star realm on their own initiative.
"Well, brother, Zi Yan misses you so much!"
In a side hall of Xingyun Pavilion, after seeing Lin Ran's figure, a little girl in purple clothes and with a delicate figure came running over and suddenly hung on Lin Ran's body.
"You girl."
Lin Ran hugged Zi Yan and patted the little girl's butt: "Why are you always like a child? Your cultivation level has improved, but your character has not improved."
"Don't you like me like this, brother?"
Zi Yan raised her head, revealing a bit of doubt: "I remember you like this... Could it be that you like Sister Cai Lin's style more now? Then I will change..."
The next moment, a purple-gold light flashed across Zi Yan's body, and the little girl turned into a stunningly beautiful mature girl.
Her long and smooth purple hair fell down to her perky buttocks. Her mature body was even more attractive than Cai Lin's.
"Ahem, change back quickly. I still prefer your previous look."
Lin Ran almost couldn't bear seeing such a charming look and coughed quickly.
Zi Yan chuckled: "Nonsense, you obviously like the body shape like that just now the most. Sister Cai Lin is right, you men are all like this."
"I'm not like I don't have you, don't talk nonsense."
Lin Ran immediately gave a series of three denials and repeatedly asked Zi Yan to change back to her original appearance. Only then did Zi Yan obey and return to her original appearance.
Looking at the delicate and beautiful girl in his arms, who was still as cute as before and looked like a porcelain doll, Lin Ran felt relieved for some reason.
After pinching the little girl's face, Lin Ran focused his attention on another extremely reserved person who came to Xingyun Pavilion with her in the hall.
He was a burly man with an aura of about three-star Dou Zun, and his blood was quite strong.
"This is..."
"Oh, his name is Xiong Zhan, I call him Big Guy, he's the boss of the Wanyao Mountain Range in Danta, and he's the bodyguard I subdued when I sneaked out before!"
Zi Yan laughed and said, "Big guy, you haven't met my big brother yet?!"
"Uh, brother."
Xiong Zhan glanced at Lin Ran cautiously and spoke in a low voice, his eyes showing both curiosity and fear towards Lin Ran.
In his perception, Lin Ran not only had extremely powerful cultivation, but he also exuded a special aura of oppression!
The aura was so powerful that it was not much weaker than Zi Yan's, which made Xiong Zhan extremely shocked.
Could it be that this human is also a Taixu Ancient Dragon? !
"This is my eldest brother, how can you call him eldest brother? You should call him Big Brother!"
Zi Yan snorted softly, and Xiong Zhan shuddered immediately. He lowered his head and said repeatedly: "Big brother, big brother..."
"Alright, alright."
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly: "I asked you to come here for something important. By the way, why didn't I see Zhu Li?"
"hey-hey..."
Zi Yan showed an awkward but polite smile: "After I received your message, big brother, I ran away directly without telling old man Zhu Li."
"Brother, you may not know this, but that old man is so annoying. Not only does he force me to eat some disgusting food every day, but he also doesn't let me go out to play all day long. I'm so bored!"
