Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 855: East Wind! East Wind!


Cultivation knows no age, and in the blink of an eye, it was early July.

On the third day, at the Heaven's Edge in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, a Landing Mirror was opened, from which emerged two figures, one old and one young.

"Boom!"

It happened to be a time when the sky was thick with dark clouds, with flashes of lightning and peals of thunder.

Torrential rain poured down on the two of them, and while the young man in a raincoat had no reaction, the old man was overjoyed, reaching out to catch the raindrops.

Lu Ran had a slight smile on his face as he looked at Huangfu Zhao, who had already changed into a green raincoat and bamboo hat.

It had been four months since Mr. Huangfu became a disciple under Lu Ran.

In the past few months, Huangfu Zhao had returned to the Holy Spirit Mountain twice, but unfortunately, every time he arrived at the ends of the earth, the place was shrouded in fog.

The Fake Gods of the Ran Sect were advancing one after another, and their momentum could not be stopped at all!

But this time, the ends of the earth were finally fog-free.

Even more thrilling for Huangfu Zhao was this torrential rain!

Lu Ran could totally understand him, for the Heavenly Realm Battlefield was perpetually unchanging, with no sunrise or sunset, no spring, summer, autumn, or winter.

All that could be seen was the thick sea of clouds in the sky.

Now, seeing this torrential rain, who wouldn't be excited?

"Hahaha!"

Huangfu Zhao actually burst into laughter, taking off the bamboo hat on his head, letting the rain fall on his weathered face.

Lu Ran simply stood silently, watching this warrior over fifty years old frolicking in the rain.

He neither sang nor danced; could this be considered frolicking?

For the mature and steady Huangfu Zhao, it was.

That ecstatic laughter was truly infectious, and it made the smile on Lu Ran's face gradually turn a bit bitter.

Humans are always labeled as greedy.

Lu Ran did not deny this; he was a person deeply obsessed, greedy enough to want to poke a hole in heaven.

But in this cruel world, there were also a few who desired not much.

Sunshine, rain, and snow.

To live with dignity.

"Young Master." Huangfu Zhao turned and put on his bamboo hat, cupping his hands, "I was presumptuous."

"What's presumptuous about this?" Lu Ran took his bamboo hat off again, "Sir, just stay here and start addressing your breakthrough matters."

This time, Lu Ran returned to the Sect because Huangfu Zhao had indicated he had touched upon the bottleneck of a breakthrough.

And on Lu Ran's end, after more than four months of cultivation, he was about to complete the third round of reforging and transforming his physical body with Holy Spirit Energy.

Perhaps, the promotion of Mr. Huangfu might also be the opportunity for Lu Ran's breakthrough.

"Soaked enough in the rain, there's a stone cave below." Lu Ran stomped his foot, "Sir can go there for seclusion."

"Yes." Huangfu Zhao accepted the bamboo hat.

"Then I'll be off first..." Lu Ran's words halted as his figure suddenly flashed, instantaneously teleporting down several meters into the cave.

In his sight, a woman was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

On her knees rested a heavy hammer.

"Oh?" Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly, "Isn't that my big sister Xian'er, who is stuck at the Sea Realm·Peak?"

"Uh." Si Xianxian shrunk her neck, timidly raising her eyes to the visitor.

The young man was still that young man.

The smile, still so detestable.

But the strict hierarchy made it difficult for the Yangyang Sea to face the Majestic Heaven Realm.

"Has Ruyi returned?" Si Xianxian mustered the courage to ask.

Lu Ran appeared strange: "Your first sentence is about that? How do I remember you are my protector?"

Si Xianxian pouted.

Mentioning the word protector made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

The Nightmare Guardian was the first to accompany Lu Ran to venture into the Heavenly Realm and later became the captain of the first team; the Dragon Guardian was next, joining the second team, serving the Lady of the Flame Gate diligently.

A few months ago, Cheng Li of the third team of the Ran Sect and the Evil Shadow Guardian had also become scouts in the team, worthy of the name guardian.

Only the Mad Immortal Guardian remained in the Sect!

Even He Yingcai and Wang Longxiang, these Divine Generals, had ascended to the Heavenly Realm successively!

Si Xianxian even felt she was like a stay-behind child...

Well, fortunately, there was the Divine Seeking General to back her up.

Poor Seeking Dad, his wife Luo Ying went off to the Heavenly Realm early to work hard; their pair of children had long been sent back to the Human World·Luoxian Mountain by the Sect Leader to grow up healthy and happy.

Only Seeking Dad was left, living on the island in isolation, it was a good month if he could see his wife once...

"All three teams are on missions in the Heavenly Realm, they come back about once a month; you do the math yourself." Lu Ran snorted.

"Oh."

"Besides, you should return to your own seclusion room to practice; Mr. Huangfu is coming here." Lu Ran added.

Si Xianxian pouted, reluctantly standing up, suddenly thinking of something: "Oh, Young Master."

"Hmm?"

"Last time when the Lady returned, I heard her mentioning that when I ascend to the Heavenly Realm, the Young Master only plans to let me replace the Heavenly God Sculpture?"

"What, isn't one god enough for you?" Lu Ran joked.

Si Xianxian moved cautiously forward, resisting the terrifying pressure: "Unlike the others, who are god and demon two sides of one, I... that Evil Sculpture of the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon, why are you keeping it?"

Keeping it for what?

In the Da Xia god and demon system, only Lie Tian·Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon had the method for cross-level slaughter, of course, I had to keep something in reserve.

Si Xianxian whispered: "Mainly without the Evil Sculpture, I have no physical body!

How else can I join the Lady's ch...ch... caravan, join her team, go through fire and water for her?"

Lu Ran: "..."

I cultivated you with all my heart just for you to climb into my fiancée's bed?

Is that reasonable!

Si Xianxian put on a pitiful look, tugging Lu Ran's sleeve: "Young Master~~~"

Lu Ran looked at a particular Xian'er acting up without pressure, commenting: "It's useless, you aren't even worth a single tail of the Ghost Moon Fox."

Si Xianxian: ???

I really want to beat you to death!

"Phew~"

The ribbon around Lu Ran's waist suddenly extended a corner and knocked the girl's finger away.

Si Xianxian: "..."

Even the magic artifact is bullying me?!

How could Si Xianxian know? She felt aggrieved, but Smoke and Mist Silk felt even more wronged!

Placed on anyone else, it would elevate their status and make the owner of the magic artifact ascend to the ranks of the immortals.

Even if tied to a dog, it could turn the dog into the Howling Celestial Dog!

But in the hands of a certain wanderer from the martial world, the flying ribbon became just an ordinary belt.

Such a waste!

[When the Ran Sect slays the God Demon, the Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon will be the first.] Lu Ran suddenly transmitted his voice.

"Oh?" Si Xianxian's beautiful eyes lit up.

[At that time, you can devour the true Evil God and possess everything it has.] Lu Ran transmitted his voice again.

Si Xianxian was overjoyed, her excitement causing her to clench her fists.

What does it mean to surpass those who came before?

Nightmare, From Dragon, Evil Shadow... so what if you are leading now?

The first to truly seize the "Divine Position" will be me, the Mad Immortal Guardian!

Wahahahaha~

Lu Ran patted Si Xianxian's shoulder: [In the plan envisioned by me and Mr. Conglong, it was designed this way, but we still need to discuss it with Lord Immortal Sheep.]

The Evil God·Angry Sea Flame Flood Dragon is indeed very powerful, with extremely terrifying output!

But this race is, after all, low in intelligence and extremely irritable and quick to anger! They easily fall into various schemes, making them very suitable for the Ran Sect to act against.

And for Lu Ran and others, capturing the enemy's strongest point of output at the very beginning of the real battle should be more beneficial for the subsequent tasks.

Of course, all of this is preliminary planning.

The specific situation still requires the help of Lord Immortal Sheep to oversee.

[Do not leak this information.] Lu Ran looked at the joyous Xian'er sister and immediately warned her.

[Oh, don't worry! I always go about on my own, without anyone to talk to. Even if I wanted to leak it, there's no one to tell!]

[Haven't you been playing with Little Yuanxi lately?]

[She is more lonely than I am.] Si Xianxian pouted again.

"Alright, go cultivate." Lu Ran said, flashing back to Tianya Residence.

Qiao Yuansi is already at the Fourth Rank of the Sea Realm. Before reaching the peak, the Fake Gods only need to work hard in cultivation, so he could imagine the little one's diligence.

"Phew~"

A group of swords and sabers flew away in succession, automatically heading to the study.

Lu Ran took off his clothes and casually hung his raincoat on the corner of the folding screen.

Smoke and Mist Silk did not leave.

The way a magic artifact observes the world is different from the Human Clan. Smoke and Mist Silk flew directly to the large wardrobe and opened the door.

Lu Ran blinked his eyes, stepping forward to follow.

He intended to choose some casual clothes for comfort, but just as he reached out, his wrist was bound by Smoke and Mist Silk.

"What is it?" Lu Ran sensed the force on his wrist.

Under the guidance of Smoke and Mist Silk, Lu Ran's hand moved horizontally and finally landed on a white robe.

Lu Ran took off the garment, finding this white robe exceedingly loose, especially the sleeves, which were exaggeratedly wide.

It somewhat resembled a Daoist robe.

"You want me to wear this?" Lu Ran turned to Smoke and Mist Silk.

Smoke and Mist Silk, filled with spirit, placed one end in front of Lu Ran's eyes, bobbing up and down as if nodding.

"Hehe." Lu Ran chuckled softly.

Alright.

Since I couldn't be part of your earlier growth, in the future, I'll pamper you as much as I can.

Lu Ran donned the white robe, feeling some discomfort with the oversized sleeves, and while raising his hand to examine it, he suddenly noticed Smoke and Mist Silk drifting behind him.

It flowed like a wisp of smoke and mist, tracing graceful arcs as it moved.

"Does this suit your taste now?" Lu Ran asked with a smile.

A section of Smoke and Mist Silk near his shoulder moved towards Lu Ran's cheek, gently touching it.

"Rumble!"

Thunder rumbled repeatedly, making Lu Ran wince.

Subsequently, he noticed a wisp of mist rising inside the room.

Lu Ran instantly flashed and appeared in the forest on the island, witnessing wisps of pale fog dragon rolls descend from the densely clouded sky, heading towards the end of the world.

Seeing this scene, he quickly ascended, looking towards the east.

In the pouring rain, Huangfu Zhao was kneeling at the edge of the cliff, head lowered, as the raindrops around him were blown wildly.

Lu Ran: !!!

Mr. Huangfu has indeed broken through his bottleneck!

He is the second in human history, following Qiao Wanjun, to reach the Third Level of the Majestic Heaven Realm since the arrival of the God Demon over forty years ago, isn't he?

Well... two months ago, the Big Nightmare also advanced to the Third Level of the Heavenly Realm.

But she ascended in the form of a Stone Sculpture, through plundering resources, rather than maintaining the blood and flesh form of the Human Clan to cultivate herself.

Therefore, Huangfu Zhao is truly the second "Human Clan."

Qiao Wanjun is Lu Ran's mother, and naturally, he views her through a thick lens of admiration.

But objectively speaking, Qiao Wanjun's sudden rise almost completely halted the subsequent growth of the Human Clan.

Now, under Lu Ran's tutelage, Huangfu Zhao has completely rid himself of the gods' control.

He is striding towards the zenith of the Human Clan!

Good! Excellent, wonderful...

Lu Ran flashed again and returned to the study in Tianya Residence, picking up the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd.

Time to cultivate!

Seize the east wind!
