Snowfield.
Chen Lan and White Dragon arrived here, surrounded by a vast, white snowfield and towering snow-capped mountains.
"Brother Lan, the Lantian Sword is in this snowfield, but I don't know its exact location. Perhaps you can sense its position," White Dragon said.
Chen Lan nodded, trying to calm his mind and sense the Lantian Sword.
Rumble!
At that moment, a deafening noise erupted around them. Upon closer inspection, it turned out the snow on the mountains had collapsed, an avalanche occurred!
"Avalanche, this is bad!" White Dragon exclaimed in shock, quickly attempting to fly upwards, only to find he couldn't!
"I could fly just now, but now a force incredibly powerful is restricting flight, and I feel my internal Spiritual Qi is rapidly draining," White Dragon said in terror.
Looking towards the snow mountains, many people were running down, shouting and yelling.
"Run quickly, that mountain has a rare and intelligent treasure, we've accidentally broken its Sealing Array, and now it's furious."
"That Magical Treasure is strange, it can restrict flight. If we're buried by the avalanche and our Spiritual Qi keeps depleting, we might die here."
"Had I known the treasure was so fierce, I wouldn't have joined the commotion."
Listening to the people running down, Chen Lan's lips lifted slightly. He sensed a terrifying aura, but it felt particularly familiar.
If he guessed correctly, that should be his Magical Treasure, the Lantian Sword.
"Let's go." Chen Lan took White Dragon up to the sky. With his strength, the Lantian Sword would find it difficult to restrict him.
High in the sky, the ground below was quickly covered in thick snow, and not a single person could escape.
Buzz!
Just then, a sword humming sound was heard.
Chen Lan and White Dragon simultaneously looked, to see a silver-white Flying Sword emerging from one of the snowy mountains, sparkling brilliantly in the sky.
"Lantian Sword!" White Dragon exclaimed joyfully.
"Such a powerful aura from a Magical Treasure, it must be a Chaos Supreme Treasure!"
"An unrivaled sword, this is mine!"
At that moment, voices erupted from behind. Unbeknownst to them, many had already arrived.
Auras emanating from them were either Celestial Emperors or Great Emperors, each charging towards the Lantian Sword.
The Lantian Sword's aura had spread worldwide. With such a powerful and terrifying Magical Treasure, who wouldn't want to possess it?
Everyone swarmed forward, each trying to seize the Lantian Sword, but Chen Lan remained unperturbed, standing back with White Dragon, quietly watching.
As one after another rushed forward, the Lantian Sword grew furious, exerting terrifying power to kill those attempting to seize it. With just one swing, a Celestial Emperor would fall in an instant!
Even a Great Emperor was severely wounded and fell!
Seeing this, everyone became frightened, not daring to act recklessly!
"This isn't right, this Magical Treasure possesses Spiritual Wisdom, and its power is incredibly terrifying, even a Great Emperor can't do anything to it."
"Could it be only a Daoist Venerable can handle it? But several of our Daoist Venerables have already died, and we don't know where Xiao Yao Venerable has gone with the Golden-winged Roc Venerable."
"Speaking of which, what does Xiao Yao Venerable look like? I didn't get to see him that day."
The crowd dared not approach, realizing the extraordinary nature of the Lantian Sword.
"Brother Lan, only you can wield this sword," White Dragon said to Chen Lan.
"Mm." Chen Lan nodded, looking at the Lantian Sword, with a slight smile.
He could see that the sword was incredibly terrifying; acquiring it would dramatically transform his strength, giving him confidence to surpass and kill a Taoist Saint.
Chen Lan stepped forward, his figure particularly noticeable as he stood in the sky.
"Look, how can that person be in the sky when flight is restricted?"
"Such terrifying strength, could he be Xiao Yao Venerable?"
"Yes, that's him, I remember now!"
"Seems like even Venerables desire this Magical Treasure, but I doubt Xiao Yao Venerable can get it."
Present were those who recognized Chen Lan, those who didn't. Those familiar with Chen Lan were excited.
Many were eager to see if Chen Lan could acquire the Lantian Sword, for such a Divine Sword isn't something ordinary people can conquer.
As Chen Lan approached the Lantian Sword, it didn't retreat; instead, its blade trembled slightly, as if examining him.
The closer he got, the stronger the sense of familiarity, confirming that this sword was indeed one he once possessed!
However, the Lantian Sword seemed not to recognize him; could it be it didn't because his aura had changed from what it once was?
Just as Chen Lan reached for the sword's hilt, four blue pillars of light descended from the sky, encircling him!
"Not good, this is a Positioning Teleportation Array!" White Dragon immediately recognized what it was.
Unique to the Desolate Celestial Realm, the Positioning Teleportation Array can pinpoint a location for accurate teleportation.
The people from the Desolate Celestial Realm were coming!
Due to the array's power, the Lantian Sword vanished instantly, leaving Chen Lan unable to grasp it. He frowned slightly, looking up at the sky.
From within the teleportation array, he sensed an incomparably terrifying aura, seemingly a Taoist Saint's presence!
The others sensed it too, retreating swiftly, not daring to get close.
"That teleportation array seems to carry the aura of a Taoist Saint, far more terrifying than a Daoist Venerable. Could they be targeting Xiao Yao Venerable?"
"It can't be. Could one Daoist Venerable have provoked such powerful beings to hunt him down? Violated heavenly laws?"
Everyone was stunned, looking at the teleportation array. What grudge has Xiao Yao Venerable incurred to bring a Taoist Saint down?
"Brother Lan," White Dragon came to Chen Lan's side, ready to fight alongside him.
"You should leave first, this kind of battle isn't suited for you," Chen Lan said calmly. White Dragon was only a Great Emperor, likely to be swiftly killed if he stayed.
Upon hearing this, White Dragon fell silent; Chen Lan's reasoning was sound.
"Fine, I'll wait for you in a safe place. Just don't get into trouble; these must be people from the Desolate Celestial Realm," White Dragon said.
"Don't worry, if there's trouble, it will be for them," Chen Lan said with a smile.
White Dragon nodded and immediately left.
[Lantian Sword and Ye Lan, together]
[Hahaha, interesting, we don't even need to look for them. Must admit, that old man's positioning is quite strong, indeed]
[He's a renowned Fate Master, trajectory pinpointing and such, that's his forte]
[Even the fifteen Shadow Warriors of the Ye Family couldn't deal with you, Ye Lan, seems your life is quite tenacious]
Four voices rang out simultaneously in the sky, seemingly from two men and two women, laced with mockery and disdain.
Their words were unintelligible to others, only Chen Lan and White Dragon understood.
Chen Lan's lips lifted slightly, as he thought, they were coming for him. He wondered who these people might be this time.
"Hiding like cowards, since you're here, state your names. I don't kill anonymous nobodies."
