Chapter 285 Nine Lines of Dramatic Change
One day later.
In the sky, powerful divine senses swept across the mountains and fields from time to time, and terrifying pressure emanated from them. In the forests, all kinds of birds and wild beasts hid and dared not go out.
Inside a mountain cave, Li Lan sat calmly and serenely.
"My physical body is still a bit weak."
In the battle of Crimson Blood Mountain Range, he first defeated the Holy Maiden Cihang, and then the combined forces of many other powers. Although he had suppressed his cultivation and did not use too much power, his physical body still felt fatigued and his muscles ached.
After entering the mortal realm, all the laws and essences of the Dao that he had cultivated in the underworld dissipated within his physical body, leaving him as a mortal being unable to withstand the power of his soul.
"There is no time to lose; we must first improve our physical strength."
This also means that he must begin cultivating the mortal scriptures!
Cultivating mortal scriptures means having to fight against the ghosts hidden within those scriptures.
He checked the panel first.
Name: Li Lan
Realms: On the Path (Yin), Mortal (Yang)
Cultivation Techniques: *The Mortal Scripture* (Incomplete Version 2), Great Calamity Annihilation Technique (Not yet learned), Six Paths Reincarnation Fist (Learned), Limitless Battle Technique (Learned), Great Dao True Eye Technique (Heavenly Eye), True Dragon Technique (Learned), Heaven Mending Technique (Learned)...
Authority: Authority of Reincarnation
Spiritual Energy Value: 13,270,000
13,270,000!
That's an astronomical figure.
All spirituality originates from the Taoist temple.
Initially, he obtained a precious Nine Yang Reversal Yin Pill from Elder Luo Chuan within the Dao Hall. Later, he was plotted against and harmed by Changsun Xu, Fan Yuzhi, and others. After being placed on Tianhuo Peak, Fan Yuzhi fed him various kinds of spiritual medicines, accumulating countless spiritual essences over a month.
After Fan Yuzhi was killed by Li Lan, all the pills, spirit stones, medicinal materials, and other supplies on his body, as well as the stock on Tianhuo Peak, were also swept away by Li Lan. That's why he was able to accumulate so much.
"Can it support the cultivation of the 'Ordinary Scripture' up to the eighth transformation? Shall we begin cultivation immediately?"
Without hesitation, Li Lan immediately poured his vast spiritual energy into the mortal scripture.
moment!
The scripture he had first obtained from the Fighting Demon God suddenly seemed to awaken in his mind. The scripture was glowing, and each character seemed to come alive, evolving into a kind of law!
"What are you doing?!"
At that moment, an aged voice rang out from within one of the characters, saying in alarm, "Didn't we agree that you would find spiritual energy for me, and I would teach you magic after I recovered?"
The golden character transformed into a human figure, lunging towards Li Lan's soul, who was enraged to the extreme.
During this time, the evil spirit had been lurking and waiting, but because it was trapped within the text, it could not know what Li Lan was doing. Now that it understood that Li Lan did not trust it and wanted to forcibly cultivate the mortal scripture, how could it not be angry? It was about to devour Li Lan's soul!
"How dare a mere evil spirit cause trouble!"
Li Lan shouted coldly, his soul erupting with a powerful light, and he unleashed the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.
The evil spirit within the golden text was taken aback, not expecting Li Lan's soul to be so powerful. Enraged, it immediately attacked, engaging in a fierce battle with Li Lan's soul within Li Lan's sea of consciousness.
Wherever the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist went, the golden characters seemed to be blasted to pieces, and the evil spirits vanished instantly.
"It's that simple?"
Li Lan frowned.
But the next moment, wisps of black lines suddenly appeared on his soul, as if something was binding his soul.
His soul had reached the Upper Path level, but now he felt unable to move. He was furious and the power of True Dragon Blood, Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, and Limitless Battle Technique erupted from his soul, instantly annihilating the black lines.
But in just a moment, the black lines reappeared!
It was as if it had taken root in his soul, like tree roots, trying to completely trap and absorb it.
This evil spirit is incredibly difficult to deal with; it seems impossible to kill it.
"Want to stall? Then I'll stall you!"
Li Lan spoke coldly, and then the Heaven-Mending Technique began to operate wildly. His soul power increased continuously, and every time the black lines appeared, he destroyed them.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the black lines have grown hundreds of times, and Li Lan has destroyed them hundreds of times, but the black lines are still growing.
If it were anyone else, no matter how strong their soul was, they would have been entangled and killed by this evil spirit long ago. The opponent's combat strength may not be that great, but this characteristic of being able to resurrect after death is unsolvable!
"Heh... A soul at the upper level, and so many powerful techniques, you were truly underestimated... Unfortunately, you also underestimated me!"
The evil spirit's sinister voice rang out, "I was just one step away from attaining immortality and never dying. You want to kill me too? Don't even think about it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lan was truly surprised.
In the past, he might not have understood its meaning, but after encountering Xing Tian, the Demon God, he now knew what the word "supreme" meant!
end!
The ultimate goal of spiritual practice is to reach the highest level.
The Limitless One possesses limitless power; the Unborn One slaughters all; the Undying One lives forever; the Silent One is silent and unseen; the Infinite One spreads throughout the universe in an instant…
Every supreme being is the absolute rule itself!
And this evil spirit was actually just one step away from becoming an "undying being"?
How could this not be amazing?
While the absence of birth and death might be mutually restraining, Li Lan's cultivation was not yet complete after obtaining Xing Tian's Great Fiend World-Destroying Technique, and he was far from seeing the threshold of supreme power. Therefore, it was impossible for him to kill the other party now.
If things continue like this, no matter how powerful the Heaven-Mending Technique becomes, Li Lan's soul power will eventually run out.
"Since that's the case... this is the only way!"
Li Lan finally made up his mind. Then, with a thought, the reincarnation authority appeared, and a wisp of yellow smoke appeared directly in his sea of consciousness.
The phantom of reincarnation appeared in the cave. Li Lan stepped in, and the next moment, he was already in the underworld.
Li Lan mobilized the power of reincarnation to suppress his soul!
"What?! Reincarnation!?"
The undead evil spirit was instantly shocked and said, "How is this possible? That person has already given up on reincarnation. Reincarnation cannot happen again. Who are you? Who exactly are you...?"
Wherever the smoke of reincarnation reached, the black lines were actually eroded in reverse.
"Reincarnation is impossible in this world! Ah... let me go, I won't eat you anymore, let me go, I'll leave!"
The black substance left Li Lan's soul and transformed into an old man with a sinister gaze, his eyes filled with fear.
However, Li Lan had already mobilized the power of reincarnation. Yellow light formed chains of order across the Bridge of Helplessness, the River of Oblivion in the Underworld, Hell, and the Sea of Bitterness, directly locking him up.
At this moment, Li Lan sensed that within the cycle of reincarnation, the power of life and death was being combined, and the black demon was being gradually disintegrated!
"It's true... Reincarnation has been formed, containing within it the Dao of no birth, no death, no beginning, and no end... No, no!"
The Undying Evil Ghost was completely panicked at this moment. He never expected that Li Lan would have such a trump card!
"It's him, it must be him! His abandonment of reincarnation was just a cover, a way to create an opportunity for you. He knew the mortal scriptures were locked away, so he gave you reincarnation and then the mortal scriptures, so you could cultivate... What a grand scheme, what a grand scheme... Let me go, ah!"
The evil spirit screamed in agony.
Upon hearing this, Li Lan was slightly startled.
The demon's words did indeed awaken him.
He had already suspected that the evil spirits hidden in the scriptures were likely a form of "pollution" deliberately set up to prevent anyone from practicing this technique.
But he never expected that the cycle of reincarnation he possessed was actually the only way to break free from the pollution in the mortal scriptures.
Judging from the ferocity and ruthlessness of this evil spirit, anyone other than Li Lan who touches the mortal scriptures will likely face only one fate: being devoured by this evil spirit!
"That person..."
It's that person again!
The owner of the big black dog and the cat, the Underworld of the Fighting Demon God, and the Underworld of the Executioner Demon God were all just pawns he had laid out. Now it seems that there was another reason why he created the cycle of reincarnation and then abandoned it...
Perhaps, as this evil spirit said, Li Lan is the key to his scheme?
Li Lan had too many questions to ask, but after glancing at the evil spirit, she suddenly calmed down and stopped moving for the time being.
He withdrew from the cycle of reincarnation, letting the power of reincarnation temper this evil spirit for a while, since it wouldn't die anytime soon anyway.
"How can you leave? Stop! Don't you want to know about that person? Don't you want to know the truth about the ancient war? Ah..."
Seeing that Li Lan didn't ask any questions, the evil spirit panicked.
……
Back in the cave in reality.
Li Lan continued his cultivation, investing all of his tens of millions of spiritual points into the mortal scriptures. After the evil spirits were trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, the first section of the scriptures was no longer an obstacle.
Each character seems to come alive, demonstrating the law and the Tao.
From the first character, Li Lan saw that the black tortoise was dormant, its vital energy long and continuous, spanning from ancient times to the present.
Within the second character, Li Lan knew that the spirit snake's qi and blood flowed like a torrent, opening up the eight extraordinary meridians wherever it went.
The third word, "manifestation," signifies the transformation of a spirit snake into a dragon, a metamorphosis of vital energy and blood, as if wings have sprouted, resulting in a complete rebirth...
……
The eighth character signifies that one's blood and qi are as surging as a true dragon, possessing the strength to uproot mountains and the power to overwhelm the world; one's physical body already contains immense power!
The so-called "nine-line transformation" refers to Qi and blood!
The Nine Transformations of Qi and Blood is the first step for a cultivator to transcend the mundane. In this world, all major powers have their own methods of refining Qi and transforming blood, but none of them can compare with this mortal scripture.
Its release is slow, like the Black Tortoise; its unfolding is steady, like an enduring serpent; its transformation is fierce, like a dragon soaring into the sky…
Finally, by the eighth transformation, it had formed a vast blood aura like that of a true dragon.
The fatigue that had been building up inside her vanished, and Li Lan felt energetic, as if she had inexhaustible strength.
Even without using the power of his soul, Li Lan could destroy a boulder weighing ten thousand pounds with a single punch using only his physical body.
"Clearly extraordinary and refined, yet it is called a mortal scripture..."
Li Lan murmured.
This method of refining blood energy was extracted from the most powerful beings throughout history, including the Black Tortoise, the Flood Dragon, and the True Dragon. It is absolutely invincible among its peers.
However, due to the depletion of spiritual energy, the ninth transformation is temporarily impossible to attempt.
Li Lan sighed softly, then came to her senses, restarted the cycle of reincarnation, and stepped into it.
"How was it? How did you find the taste of these eighteen kinds of hell?"
Li Lan calmly looked at the evil spirit.
The opponent was in a terrible state. Even though he was once a supreme expert who almost stepped into the ranks of the Undead, he was now extremely weak and his body was almost gone.
He endured the constant shifts between life and death, a form of extreme torture. Upon seeing Li Lan, his eyes blazed with intense hatred as he said, "You deserve to die...you will be torn to pieces..."
"Is that so? Then it seems you haven't thought it through yet."
Li Lan smiled and then prepared to leave.
"Do not……"
But the evil spirit panicked instantly and cried out, "Don't go! Don't go!"
Li Lan turned around. "So, you're willing to communicate and cooperate?"
The demon gritted its teeth and said, "How can we communicate? How can we cooperate?"
Tell me what I want to know, and I will spare your life and let you live in this cycle of reincarnation.
When Li Lan presented the conditions, the evil spirit hesitated, clearly considering and weighing its options.
