The mighty power is like an abyss, like an ancient beast, suffocating.
Even Yao Chen, who has now entered the realm of Douluo, felt extremely insignificant when he sensed this breath, not to mention Feng Xian and others.
Cai Lin was suppressed by this terrifying pressure, her pretty face turned pale and her body was shaky, but she still suppressed the fear and shock that came from deep in her blood and persisted.
This is the pressure of the dragon and phoenix body. Even the ancient monster, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, cannot be compared with it.
The vast energy continued to spread, but soon began to restrain itself. Ten minutes later, a figure suddenly appeared outside the space.
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes were cast towards that figure!
In the sky, the young man stretched lazily, and his skin suddenly began to move. 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, Lin Ran clenched his fists.
"Is this the power of Bodhicitta?"
Lin Ran felt the vast ocean-like fighting spirit in his body and couldn't help but be fascinated. This kind of power had a crazy temptation. Countless people would fight for this kind of power throughout their lives.
Lin Ran stretched out his hand, and then suddenly clenched it. The space in front of him began to collapse rapidly, and then began to condense again... It was as if Lin Ran at this moment was like a god who controlled the creation and destruction of time and space!
Feeling this vast power that was enough to create and destroy space with just a wave of his hand, a smile slowly appeared on Lin Ran's face.
Three Star Fighting Saint!
That bodhi heart directly raised Lin Ran's cultivation from a one-star Dou Sheng to a three-star Dou Sheng!
You know, the bodhi heart in the original work only raised Xiao Yan from the peak of Dou Zun to a one-star Dou Sheng, but Lin Ran directly broke through from a one-star Dou Sheng to a three-star Dou Sheng!
Even though the former was a breakthrough in a great realm, the difference in fighting spirit between the two was actually as vast as the mountains and the sea.
Obviously, the ancient Bodhi tree left more energy on this Bodhi heart, allowing Lin Ran to complete a stronger transformation!
"What a terrifying power, Sect Master."
Yao Chen, Cai Lin, Feng Xian and others quickly appeared beside Lin Ran. Feeling Lin Ran's aura, Yao Chen said with emotion: "I originally thought that after I broke through to the Dou Sheng level, I could barely catch up with you, Sect Master. Now it seems..."
"Old man, it's enough that you are better than me. Why do you want to compete with the sect master? What are you thinking!"
Feng Xian snorted softly, causing many people around him to burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, Yao Chen is now a Dou Sheng. Feng Xian, you guys should also work hard."
Lin Ran smiled and held Cai Lin's hand, then looked at the elders of Xingyun Pavilion who had rushed over after hearing the news: "I'm sorry, everyone. You have worked hard during this period."
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
"Master, you are joking. This is all part of our job."
"Yeah yeah."
The elders hurriedly declined sensibly, not daring to accept such a courtesy from Lin Ran.
Lin Ran looked at Feng Xian and Yao Chen with a smile on his face. The two of them quickly told him everything that had happened during the time Lin Ran was in seclusion, including the fact that Hua Zong and Fen Yan Valley agreed to form an alliance, especially the Danta side.
"I didn't expect that the Hua Sect would break up with the Tianming Sect just like that..."
Lin Ran stroked his chin, and recalled the two allied forces he had casually killed in the Wild Ancient Territory. Could it be that it was caused by that incident?
"Master, now that the Flower Sect and the Burning Flame Valley have both agreed, the only one left is Danta. If Danta can join our Holy Sect, our overall strength will completely surpass that of the Soul Palace!"
Yao Chen said in a deep voice: "However, if you want those old guys to join... I'm afraid you'll need me to go to Dan Tower with you again, and it's a small Dan Tower!"
"That's good. I've been in seclusion for a long time, so I'd like to move around a bit."
Lin Ran nodded: "Let's go, this matter should be done as soon as possible, just trigger it directly."
"Yes, Master!"
…
Having made the decision, Cai Lin, who originally wanted to be intimate with Lin Ran, could only suppress her thoughts. Lin Ran and Yao Chen, on the other hand, set off directly to the Dan Domain.
Today, Lin Ran and Yao Chen are both capable of becoming Dou Sheng masters, so their traveling speed is naturally unmatched by ordinary masters. Coupled with the power of the ancient Taixu dragon contained in Lin Ran's dragon-phoenix body, they can forcibly tear through space along the way. At such a terrifying speed, they arrived at the Shengdan City in the Dan domain in just half a day!
After entering Shengdan City, the two did not stop because of the prosperity of the place, but went directly into the Dan Tower.
On the top floor of Danta, in a hall, Lin Ran and Yao Chen were sitting inside. An elder of Danta quickly retreated and went to inform the three giants.
The silence lasted for a moment, and was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps. Then the tightly closed door was quickly pushed open, and a loud laugh followed.
"Haha, what a rare guest, old man Yao, Sect Master Lin, it's been a long time since we last met."
The tightly closed door was pushed open, and Xuankongzi, dressed in a light white robe, walked in quickly with a big laugh. Behind him, Tianleizi and Xuanyi followed closely, and both of them looked a little excited.
During this period, the news that Lin Ran and Yao Chen had broken through to the level of Dou Sheng and the level of the ninth-grade alchemist in succession had already spread throughout the Dou Qi Continent. As the three giants of Danta who had in-depth cooperation with them and had been trapped at the peak of Dou Zun and the peak of the eighth-grade alchemist for a long time, they naturally found it a bit unbearable.
"Long time no see, how are you?"
Lin Ran put down the teacup, looked at the three people and smiled.
Xuan Kongzi and the other two quickly walked into the hall, and just one glance showed some shock in their eyes.
He was also fortunate enough to be promoted to Semi-Saint a year ago, but in front of the two of them, he had a vague feeling as if he was facing an infinite ocean, which made it impossible for him to find out their bottom line.
Is this the power of a Dou Sheng? !
"Well, no one comes to visit you for no reason. Old Yao, you have come to my Dan Tower this time, there must be something important, right?" Xuan Kongzi concealed his inner shock and smiled. He changed the subject and looked at Yao Chen.
"Um."
Seeing that they were talking about serious matters, the smile on Yao Chen's face faded a little. He was silent for a while, and then he recounted the affairs of the alliance in detail.
"Alliance... this matter is a bit troublesome. You mentioned it once before, but even if we tried our best, we could only achieve the current level of private cooperation." After listening to what Yao Chen said, Xuan Kongzi and the other two frowned and said.
"I know it's troublesome, but it's different now. The Soul Palace is too powerful. We can't fight them alone. If we don't join forces, we will eventually be unable to escape the clutches of the Soul Palace!"
"Besides, before the Sect Master and I were not strong enough, those old guys would definitely disagree. But now the Sect Master and I are both Dou Sheng-level, and we are ninth-grade alchemists. How can those old guys not agree?!"
With these words, the attitudes of Yao Chen and Lin Ran were fully revealed!
Xuan Kongzi shook his head helplessly: "If the ancestor was here, this matter would be much easier. A word from him would determine the final answer."
"No news about that old guy yet?" Yao Chen was stunned and said.
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi and the other two nodded with a wry smile, saying, "We haven't heard from him since the transplant. If it weren't for the fact that the soul jade slip was still intact, we would have thought that he had met with some misfortune."
"No matter what, even if the old guy is not here, I have to make things clear this time. Otherwise, wouldn't my trip with the Sect Master be in vain?"
"You are trying to use your power to overwhelm others..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Hehe, it's not like you're using your power to pressure others. Let's vote according to the old rules." Yao Chen said calmly: "As long as the three of you agree, I will naturally find a way to make those guys agree as well."
"...That's right. Now that you have the strength of a Fighting Saint and a ninth-rank alchemist, those old guys might really give you face. Moreover, among the seven elders, there are two who have a great hatred for the Soul Palace. If we can convince these two of them, our votes will reach five, and then we will be on par with those other old guys." Xuan Kongzi said after hesitating for a while.
"Oh? Can this be confirmed?"
Hearing this, Yao Chen's eyes lit up slightly. If it was five votes to five votes, then the hope would be getting bigger and bigger.
"I'm not sure, but we have to at least give it a try. Would you and Sect Leader Lin like to accompany us to the Small Dan Pagoda? If this matter is reported, it will definitely shock those old guys." Xuan Kongzi said with a smile.
"Well, that's fine. I haven't been to that place for many years." Yao Chen hesitated for a moment, nodded, looked at Lin Ran, and said with a smile: "Sect Master may not know that almost all those gathered in the Small Pill Tower were once famous alchemy masters in Zhongzhou."
"Haha, with Sect Master Lin's current abilities, he is the truly famous alchemist!" Xuan Yi said with a smile.
A ninth-grade alchemist, in the entire Dan Tower, only the ancestor can do it!
Xuan Kongzi stood up with a smile, walked to the end of the hall, and pressed his palm on the jade-smooth wall. A wave spread out from his palm, and soon everyone saw that the wall began to wriggle rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a slowly rotating space channel.
"Let's go!"
After opening the space channel, Xuan Kongzi smiled, and then he was the first to walk into it. Lin Ran and others followed one after another. As the last person entered the space channel, the channel suddenly dissipated slowly, and then turned into a solid wall standing there again.
…
After a brief transmission through the space channel, which was less than a minute, the light in front of everyone suddenly became brighter.
When Lin Ran opened his eyes, he found that he was already on top of a huge green peak that was ten thousand feet high. Looking around, he saw clouds and mist, which gave him a rather ethereal feeling.
"The aroma of medicine is rich. The accumulation of medicine here is no less than that of the medicinal garden in the ancient ruins. It is even better!"
Lin Ran sniffed and glanced around, and found that the entire mountain was planted with countless medicinal gardens. There were medicinal herbs that were quite rare in the outside world, but here they were growing in large tracts.
"These herb gardens all have their own owners. They are the lifeblood of those old guys."
Following Lin Ran's gaze, Xuan Kongzi smiled, then walked towards the top of the mountain. Yao Chen and the others quickly followed. Along the way, some old figures could be seen among the lush sea of herbs. Although these old men looked like herbal farmers, Lin Ran could feel an extremely powerful soul fluctuation from them. Obviously, these old men who looked like herbal farmers had a very high attainment in soul power.
Not many people paid attention to Lin Ran, the stranger. Instead, Yao Chen standing next to him attracted a lot of surprised looks. Along the way, some old guys kept coming up to Yao Chen and greeted him. It was obvious that they knew Yao Chen before.
After passing through several mountain paths, the group finally stopped at the top of the mountain. Xuan Kongzi and the other two first arranged Yao Chen and Lin Ran in a simple and tidy stone house, and then left in a hurry, presumably to inform them of the so-called alliance.
Yao Chen and Lin Ran both knew that they couldn't rush this matter, so they just sat cross-legged in the house to rest. After waiting for about a few hours, Xuan Kongzi and the other two slowly returned.
"There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad."
After entering the house, Xuan Kongzi gave a bitter smile, looked at Lin Ran and the others, and said, "The good news is that we have six votes in favor of the alliance. After all, Yao Chen, you are also a member of our Elders Council..."
"The bad news is that in three days, the Grand Elders' Council will accept a new elder. This new elder will also have one vote. Unfortunately, the one who has the best chance of entering the Grand Elders' Council this time is an old guy who is also extremely pedantic, and you also know that old guy." At the end of his words, Xuan Kongzi turned his gaze to Yao Chen.
Yao Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Old Monster Hou?"
"Yes, it's that old guy who has always been at odds with you." Xuan Kongzi said helplessly: "Whether from the perspective of his pedantic nature or other aspects, if he becomes the new elder, he will definitely vote against it. For the alchemy meeting that year, you stepped on him, and the old guy has been unhappy for many years."
"In this way, it's six to six." Xuan Yi glanced at Yao Chen and said helplessly.
If the votes are balanced, then it will have to be delayed, but things like alliances obviously cannot be delayed.
Even Yao Chen could only smile bitterly at this remark.
"What should we do now? If that old guy really votes against it, then the alliance will basically be over." Tian Lei Zi said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi and Yao Chen also fell silent.
"It's not that there is no solution. As long as we don't let that old monster Hou become the new elder, then it will be fine." Xuan Yi said.
"It's easy to say. In today's Danta Mountain, who can compete with Old Monster Hou? Old Man Yao is feasible, but he voluntarily withdrew from the Small Danta. According to the rules here, he is not qualified to compete." Xuan Kongzi shook his head and said.
Xuan Yi pushed aside a strand of hair in front of his forehead, smiled strangely, but his eyes were looking at Lin Ran.
Xuan Kongzi was slightly stunned, and then a look of realization appeared on his face.
"How could I have forgotten about you..."
