Chapter 222 In the Abyss of Heaven
"News has come from the Immortal Alliance that they, along with the Sun Alliance, the Alien Alliance, the Five Elements Alliance, and the Soul Alliance, are awaiting the new master of reincarnation in the Heavenly Abyss!"
In the foreign city, a message suddenly arrived.
"What does it mean?"
Zhanmeng Tianzun frowned. She had been relieved by the success of the four major alliances, including the Fenglei Alliance, but unexpectedly, another accident occurred.
Li Lan pondered for a moment, but could only shake his head and say, "I don't know."
"But what is certain is that the Sun Alliance, the Five Elements Alliance, and others must feel that they can gain benefits by following the Immortal Alliance, benefits that are no less than what I promised, which is why they are following the Immortal Alliance."
"Therefore, the Immortal Alliance's goal... must be to seize reincarnation."
Because what Li Lan promised to the various forces was reincarnation... and only reincarnation could replace this temptation.
It might mean giving more shares to the major alliances.
But now that the cycle of reincarnation is in Li Lan's hands... the cycle of reincarnation they promised to the Sun Alliance and other forces can only be snatched from Li Lan.
"I'm just curious, how can they be so confident that they can control reincarnation after killing me?"
After all, once the reincarnation authority recognizes a master, it is very difficult to take it away. If the new reincarnation master dies, the authority will inevitably disappear, and it may not reappear for thousands, tens of thousands, or even longer periods of time.
Can the major powers wait that long?
Upon hearing this, the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "That one's Reincarnation Technique?!"
Li Lan asked, "What is this?"
Zhanmeng Tianzun frowned and said, "The Immortal Alliance and that person... are somewhat related."
"During their lives, they all practiced some of that person's methods and techniques. Even after death, their remains in the Black Sea are immortal and extremely powerful."
"Among them is a spell that is said to be extremely difficult to master, namely the Reincarnation Spell... It is said that once mastered, one can be invincible in the cycle of reincarnation."
"Reincarnation was created by that person, and this method was also created by that person. If someone in the Immortal Alliance masters it... they might really have the confidence to kill you and take your place."
Her eyes held a complex expression as she looked at Li Lan and sighed.
Li Lan's previous strategy was, in her view, perfect. By showing benefits to the other nine alliances, it could at least delay the attacks of the major forces in the short term, and in the long term, it could find some allies for the War Alliance, causing division within the nine alliances.
It's a good move no matter how you look at it.
Unexpectedly, the Immortal Alliance... possessed such a trump card.
Upon hearing this, Li Lan's doubts were suddenly cleared up!
"understood."
Li Lan said, "Take the cycle of reincarnation from my hands, and while you're at it, get the War Alliance out of the game. That way, all the major powers can get a bigger share..."
"What do we do now? People from all nine alliances have arrived; there's no way to evacuate."
The Dao of the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable.
"We will not withdraw."
Li Lan, however, remained remarkably calm as he thoughtfully considered the matter:
"The Immortal Alliance wants to kill me, but the prerequisite is... their disciples who cultivate the Samsara Technique must first control Samsara. Otherwise, if I die and Samsara becomes invisible, their efforts will be in vain."
"Therefore, those who practice the cycle of reincarnation need to seize reincarnation from me while I am still alive!"
"I also want to see... what the reincarnation method left behind looks like."
Instead of being afraid, Li Lan was tempted to take the risk!
The Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable frowned slightly and asked, "How confident are you?"
"One-tenth."
"You dare to bet on a 10% chance?"
She was surprised.
“Given the current situation, even 10% is already a lot,” Li Lan said with a smile.
……
"Heavenly Venerable, Li Lan's plan has failed. Rather than letting him hand over the cycle of reincarnation to others, we should leave now..."
After leaving, Yongqing found Zhanmeng Tianzun and said, "My brother also cultivated some of that person's spells. Although it's not the Reincarnation Technique, there's still a high probability that he can become the Lord of Reincarnation... Li Lan is not the only option."
The smoother Li Lan's plan went along, the more distressed he became!
The Immortal Alliance has disrupted Li Lan's rhythm, giving him renewed hope.
"Is it still possible to leave now?"
The Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable sighed and said, "Now, Li Lan is our only hope."
"Do you really think he can stand up against those in the Immortal Alliance who have cultivated the Reincarnation Technique?"
Yongqing said, "He did receive guidance from the White Emperor, but how does the inheritance the White Emperor gave him compare to that person's reincarnation inheritance?"
He simply didn't believe that Li Lan could defeat the Immortal Alliance!
After all, even his brother found those people extremely difficult to deal with.
"Let's wait and see..."
The Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable only uttered one sentence.
……
After the Immortal Alliance released the news, even the Wind and Thunder Alliance and the Extreme Yin Alliance began to hesitate.
"It would be more appropriate to discuss such an important matter in front of the other fellow Daoists."
The old man in Shiyin had a forced smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Excellent, let's settle this at Tianyuan!"
Nie Lei also spoke up.
Clearly, they all wanted to see if Li Lan could get past the Immortal Alliance first.
Chi Xue followed the group with an indifferent expression, seemingly neither close nor distant, while Young Master Duobao wore a smile, appearing not particularly concerned about success or failure.
The Creation Alliance doesn't place bets lightly; they'll only cooperate with whoever wins.
Today's trip to Tianyuan will determine the success or failure of Li Lan's plan, and even his life or death.
Let's go—
Led by the King of Qi and the King of Nan, the group headed towards the Heavenly Abyss. They soon arrived, where a grand bridge stood, already open and waiting.
"Welcome the new master of reincarnation, please—"
Someone greeted them on the bridge. Li Lan and his group stepped onto the bridge and disappeared in an instant. The next moment, they were in front of a grand hall!
It was the same Refining Hall that Li Lan had visited before.
Upon entering the main hall, one would find that there was no seat of honor, but rather that the left and right sides were filled with special envoys from various powerful forces.
"We are honored that the new Lord of Reincarnation and fellow Daoists from all the alliances have graced our humble abode!"
A middle-aged man stood up to greet the guest, smiling as he said, "My name is Tai Hong, and I greet the new master!"
Taihong Tianzun!
Li Lan had already heard of this person. He enjoyed a great reputation in the gray fog. He was a free spirit with no affiliation to any power. King Qi, King Nan, and others all respected him greatly.
This person is very powerful. It is said that he has been stuck at the position of Heavenly Venerable for a long time and has long been able to prove himself as an Immortal Emperor. However, he wants to reach the level of the first mysterious emperor, the Black Emperor, in the Emperor path, which is why he has not been able to break through for so long.
"These are Fellow Daoist Xinghui from the Immortal Alliance, Fellow Daoist Tianbai from the Alien Alliance, and Fellow Daoist Yangxuan from the Sun Alliance..."
Taihong Tianzun, disregarding his status, took the initiative to introduce himself, showing great enthusiasm.
Li Lan also glanced at them. He had seen Tian Bai before. This person was once a great cultivator in the Origin Realm. Now he has transformed into a flesh and blood body. As for the others, Xing Hui, Yang Xuan and others, they are almost all at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
The Origin Realm is vast and teeming with experts. The Great Luo Golden Immortals, who are known as Immortal Venerables and Heavenly Venerables in the Immortal Realm, are also formidable experts in the Origin Realm, though they are not among the most elite.
"You're Li Lan?"
The old man with the star-grey head spoke directly, asking, "I've heard that you want to share the power of reincarnation with my Ten Great Alliances?"
Li Lan readily agreed.
"Heh, when it comes to doing business with us, besides profit, do you know what's most important?"
"Appreciate further details."
"strength!"
The old man with the star gray sneered: "Trade can only take place between strong people of the same level. You are just relying on the White Emperor's slight support. In fact, even the War Alliance has not truly recognized you. Yet you dare to try to manipulate the ten major forces and get something for nothing. Do you really think our ten major alliances are three-year-old children?"
"So, you all want to test me today," Li Lan said calmly.
Old Man Star Ash nodded and said, "Not bad!"
"The Lord of Reincarnation must possess the ability and talent to suppress the ages and be invincible in spacetime... Fortunately, there is a refining array here, and Fellow Daoist Taihong's disciples are all exceptionally talented. How about you enter the refining array and fight them?"
"In that case, let us also witness the demeanor of the new Lord of Reincarnation. What do you all think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled in agreement and looked at Li Lan!
They all knew that the origin of Taihong Tianzun was quite mysterious, and his refining array was renowned throughout the Origin Realm, containing the remains of countless powerful figures, and refining all kinds of techniques together.
Li Lan can only enter the room with his spirit. If something goes wrong, it will be very difficult for Li Lan to get out, and his spirit will be trapped inside!
If Li Lan is killed directly, the cycle of reincarnation will immediately vanish into the darkness, making it difficult to trace. However, if Li Lan reclaims power, it will be difficult for others to contact him...
This great formation is just what we need. It will kill Li Lan's soul within the formation and turn it into a spiritual imprint. If Li Lan's physical body doesn't die, he will be like a living dead, powerless to control reincarnation, and the reincarnation won't disappear immediately either!
The Immortal Alliance can also take this opportunity to allow their disciples to draw reincarnation authority from Li Lan!
Upon hearing this, Li Lan said calmly, "This matter has nothing to do with Taihong Tianzun. Since you want to compete, why not send out the most outstanding disciples from the Immortal Alliance to enter the Refining Formation with me for a battle?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.
"Are you looking down on Fellow Daoist Taihong's disciple?"
"Insanity!"
"Having achieved some minor success in the Immortal Realm, you've become blinded by a single leaf. Do you know that all of Taihong Tianzun's disciples were carefully selected and have spent many years cultivating the Dao here!"
Everyone started to speak!
"Madman!"
Yongqing couldn't help but sneer, saying, "The disciples of Taihong Heavenly Venerable, although they don't belong to any Origin Realm power, are no less talented than the geniuses of the major alliances!"
Upon hearing this, Taihong Tianzun's expression turned slightly cold, and he said indifferently, "Although my disciples are dull-witted, they still have some talent. I would appreciate guidance from the new master of reincarnation!"
The Immortal Alliance invited him to help, promising many benefits. He would definitely send his disciples to help, especially since Li Lan is now showing such contempt... This is an insult.
"Fine, then let's fight one more match."
Li Lan calmly agreed.
"it is good!"
Taihong Tianzun immediately clapped his hands, and a group of people walked in from outside. The leader of them was a young man wearing a tattered imperial crown.
"Dark Daozi, you and everyone else, go and challenge the new master of reincarnation—"
Taihong Tianzun spoke calmly.
Li Lan turned around as well. An Daozi was about to agree when he saw Li Lan's face and was momentarily stunned!
An Daozi and many other geniuses had been in seclusion here, oblivious to the outside world and unaware of Li Lan's turmoil. Upon suddenly seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Him?!"
"Correct."
Taihong Tianzun said, "The new master of reincarnation received guidance from the White Emperor, so his cultivation is extraordinary. You must not underestimate him..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, An Daozi gave a bitter laugh and said, "Master, we... are no match for him!"
Taihong Tianzun frowned immediately, and the others were also surprised.
An Daozi sighed and continued, "This person has been to Tianyuan before. We all attacked together, but he suppressed us all... Master, let's not fight this battle!"
Not only him, but also the hundreds of geniuses behind him were extremely helpless and could not muster any fighting spirit!
Li Lan once impersonated the Black Emperor's special envoy and came to this place. He was harassed by An Daozi, but Li Lan directly suppressed them all!
That battle left them with a huge psychological scar!
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked!
"Li Lan, this kid, actually has such a record?"
……
