Chapter 220 A High-Profile Start
Northern Xinjiang, the border region.
Today, Li Lan and his group are about to depart.
Bai Ruoling, Jin Muyun, Li Yue, Zhu Xianchou, Jian Yinyue, Jian Yingzhou, and others all came to see him off.
"After you go to the Origin Realm, don't forget us!"
Bai Ruoling's big eyes were filled with reluctance. She bit her lower lip and stared at Li Lan, saying, "Also, you must come back to see us if you have the chance!"
Jin Muyun also said, "I will guard the Qianchuanyuan Clan with Ruoling... You don't need to worry about this side."
They and Li Lan had gone through thick and thin together and had developed a genuine marital bond.
In reality, both of them were very reluctant to part with Li Lan, but the Origin Realm was too dangerous, and it would be better for them to go there with her. They also did not want to become a burden to Li Lan after arriving in the Origin Realm.
"Master, rest assured, everyone can be a dragon. I, Li Yue, will dedicate my life to practicing this four-word philosophy!"
Li Yue spoke solemnly.
"Fellow Daoist, your journey is fraught with peril, the winds are high and the waves are rough, please take good care of yourself."
Zhu Xianchou smiled slightly and said, "On the day you return in glory, I will prepare fine wine and drink with you!"
During the Dali era, the two were once rivals, but later turned enemies into friends and became bosom buddies. Li Lan even joined forces with him in the Wanyuan Mountains to devise a plan that shocked the world.
Although Zhu Xianchou's talent and other limitations mean that his current strength cannot compare with Li Lan's, the two still respect each other.
Even though Li Lan had roamed the Immortal Realm for many years, there were very few people he had encountered whose intelligence and talent surpassed that of Zhu Xianchou.
"Saving the people and facing danger once again, Benefactor Li is truly a Buddha!"
The monk Kujue also arrived. He was also a genius from the Origin Realm. He joined the Immortal War Alliance when the world was transformed, and now he was filled with emotion.
Li Lan is no longer someone they can look at as a peer!
Instead... it's CCTV.
"We two are determined to protect the land of a thousand rivers with our lives. Please rest assured, Alliance Leader!"
The words of Tianzun Baichen and Jin Moya were also resounding.
Their strength is no less than that of an Immortal Emperor. Now that the Supreme Immortal Emperor has left, the two of them have an even greater chance to truly merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark of this era and achieve the status of Immortal Emperor.
They are also the greatest support in the Immortal Realm at present!
Li Lan bid farewell to them one by one, gave them many instructions, and then set off to leave!
"When I return one day, I hope that the world will be free of gray fog!"
Li Lan only said this much!
He had already left the Immortal Realm with Zhanmeng Tianzun and the others, and his figure quickly disappeared into the gray mist in the distance.
"May you stay safe and sound!!"
From behind, Bai Ruoling's shouts could be heard from afar.
……
"We are here by order to welcome the new Lord of Reincarnation and all the esteemed members of the War Alliance."
Not long after they entered the gray fog, a group of people appeared.
These are the men of the King of Nan and the King of Qi.
Since the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable sent messages to the major forces in the Origin Realm as Li Lan had instructed, everyone knew Li Lan's specific itinerary, and the Southern King and the Qi King immediately sent people to welcome him.
"In addition, King Qi also said that the people from the Wind and Thunder Alliance, the Longevity Alliance, the Creation Alliance, and the Extreme Yin Alliance have arrived in the foreign city and are waiting to pay homage to the new Lord of Reincarnation."
The leader reported.
Zhanmeng Tianzun breathed a slight sigh of relief; Li Lan's prediction was correct.
After Li Lan announced that he would discuss the ownership of the reincarnation authority with the major powers, the major powers would slow down and try to figure out Li Lan's intentions first.
They encountered no attacks on their way into the gray fog, so it seems their delaying tactic has worked.
"Four of the top ten alliances have arrived. That's a good start. There shouldn't be any danger before we reach the alien city."
Li Lan smiled.
He consulted Shangguan Xiaoxiao about the situation in the Origin Realm.
Within the Origin Realm, one could say that thousands of alliances have risen up and powerful forces are as numerous as forests!
Throughout countless historical periods, numerous cultivators and countless Great Daos have emerged. After being reborn as alien spirits, the beings in the Origin Realm naturally formed alliances one after another, based on the similarity of their Great Daos.
True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and Daluo Golden Immortal—these are the ranks of the immortal realm. Among them, Taiyi Golden Immortal is considered a great power, Hunyuan Golden Immortal is considered a sage, and Daluo Golden Immortal is the realm of venerable immortals.
The strongest among the Primordial Golden Immortals is called the Great Sage, and the Great Luo Golden Immortal who achieves enlightenment becomes the Heavenly Venerable, while the one who obtains the Heavenly Heart Mark becomes the Immortal Emperor.
However, after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, one will face the legendary state of "bewilderment." After reaching this stage, cultivation can only proceed step by step, as the predetermined path has been severed.
Therefore, cultivators who practice the same or similar paths often band together for mutual support, learning from, exchanging ideas with, and verifying each other's practices in order to move forward more effectively.
This is the origin of the various leagues.
The ten strongest alliances in the Origin Realm are: Wind and Thunder Alliance, Five Elements Alliance, Extreme Yin Alliance, Sun Alliance, Soul Alliance, Creation Alliance, Longevity Alliance, Immortal Alliance, War Alliance, and Alien Alliance!
Each of these ten alliances has a true giant in charge, and there are many experts among them.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you all."
Li Lan readily agreed to let them escort her.
Soon after, they arrived in the foreign city!
Li Lan had been to this place once before, but at that time he was impersonating the Black Emperor's special envoy. This time, however, he was doing so openly and honestly.
"Welcome to the new master of reincarnation!"
King Qi and King Nan were already waiting at the city gate. When they saw Li Lan, they couldn't help but have complicated expressions.
They were stunned to hear about what happened in the Immortal Realm and learn that Li Lan was actually the Lord of Reincarnation.
However, once they parted ways, when they met again, they would have to be humble and courteous to each other!
"No need to be so polite. Where are the people from the four major alliances?"
Li Lan asked calmly.
"New Lord, please follow me."
King Qi reached out his hand.
Zhanmeng Tianzun wanted to follow, but Li Lan shook his head and said, "No need, I'll go alone."
Zhanmeng Tianzun frowned; Li Lan was being far too arrogant.
With her there, even if something really happens, at least they can hold out for a while. Li Lan is going to the meeting alone, and it would be too easy for the people from the four major alliances to deal with him.
……
Not long after.
King Qi led Li Lan into his royal city and said, "Reporting to the new lord, Master Nie Lei of the Wind and Thunder Alliance, Miss Chi Xue of the Longevity Alliance, Young Master Duobao of the Creation Alliance, and Elder Shi Yin of the Extreme Yin Alliance have all arrived. Which one would you like to see first?"
Li Lan smiled and said, "Let's go to your palace for tea first."
King Qi was taken aback for a moment, and had no choice but to lead Li Lan into his palace. King Qi accompanied him cautiously, but even after three or five cups of tea had been served, Li Lan remained completely relaxed and showed no intention of meeting the special envoys of the three major alliances.
But Li Lan didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to press her for details.
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was evening.
"The new master of reincarnation has quite the airs!"
A voice finally rang out. Outside the Qi King's palace, a person walked in, entered the main hall, looked at Li Lan, and said, "Nie Lei of the Wind and Thunder Alliance!"
This was a middle-aged man with a powerful aura and a cultivation level of Great Luo Golden Immortal. He looked at Li Lan coldly and said, "I've arrived. We can talk about who will inherit the reincarnation authority!"
His face showed displeasure!
Originally, as a special envoy of the Wind and Thunder Alliance, he was proud of his status and was prepared to wait for Li Lan to pay him a visit.
Unexpectedly, Li Lan was too composed; he had come all this way but didn't go to see him... So he had no choice but to come and see Li Lan.
King Qi wisely withdrew. Although he was called "King" here, he was far from being a match for the beings in the Origin Realm.
After he left, Li Lan leisurely looked at Nie Lei and said, "Please sit down."
Nie Lei sat down and looked at Li Lan: "Can you give up the power of reincarnation?"
Let's get straight to the point!
