Chapter 513 I Will Break That Barrier
Before seeing that inner demon, Dao Xuanzi always believed that he understood Xue Lan.
After all, this is a child he watched grow up.
He watched Xue Lan grow from a frail little girl into a free-spirited and lively young woman, and watched her transform from a girl who constantly blasted mountains into the youngest weapon-refining master in the lower realm.
Watching her enter the mortal world and weather the storms, the Wan Gong Fang (a workshop name) has been passed down.
Decades later, when Xue Lan, now shed his childish appearance, stood before him, Dao Xuanzi could hardly recognize the child.
Before he knew it, the fledgling bird had grown its wings and left the old man behind!
The old man slowly stood up from his seat and looked at Xue Lan not far away.
In the dim cave, the man resembled a dark, ghostly figure, his robes as thick as ink scattered in water.
A blood-red killing intent emanated from his shoulder, echoing the red bead on his ear.
Cold, resolute, and full of oppressive force!
Xue Lan's gray eyes fixed on Dao Xuanzi.
In this standoff where neither side would yield, it was as if whoever looked away first would lose.
After a long silence, the elderly man in a silver robe spoke in a hoarse voice:
"If you are the real Xue Lan now, then what were you before?"
"Xue Lan, who has been a member of the Xuanhuang Sect for many years and is protected by her elders."
"Could this be a complete and utter deception?"
Xue Lan chuckled inwardly; she had long expected Dao Xuanzi to ask such a question.
A faint smile played on the woman's lips, her voice gentle and clear:
"Of course not..."
"The me I came from is also the me I am now."
As the woman spoke, her expression brightened, and the icy chill that had made Dao Xuanzi so uncomfortable seemed to vanish in an instant.
The woman smiled and spoke again:
"It's a pity that if I were here tonight as I was when I came, I would have accomplished nothing!"
Dao Xuanzi took another step forward, and the two immortal swords that had been floating behind him slowly emerged from the air.
The sword's cry resonated, captivating the heart.
The old man's voice was extremely authoritative:
"What's so terrible that it's worth exposing your inner demons?"
Xue Lan heard a long sigh coming from her own heart.
The woman's grey eyes were now clear and bright, no longer appearing dull and lifeless.
"Breaking the Boundary!"
Xue Lan's lips curled slightly, her expression exuding an indescribable calm and ease.
"I will break down the barrier between the upper and lower realms!"
A shimmering river flowed from the woman's sleeve, and the Yuan-Ming painting she had previously drawn stood in mid-air in the cave.
"The mountains and rivers are united!"
The surroundings were deathly silent. The powerful figures who had come to the Xuanhuang Sect from all over the Yuanming Lower Realm looked at Xue Lan, then at the exceptionally beautiful painting, and wondered if their ears and eyes had both gone bad!
A good quarter of an hour passed before the eerie silence in the cave was broken by an angry shout:
"Xue Lan!"
Kongmingzi pointed at Xue Lan's nose:
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Kong Mingzi knew that Xue Lan was always acting irrationally, but he never expected her to be this irrational!
The middle-aged man was so angry that his fingers were trembling.
The middle-aged man was furious, but Xue Lan remained completely calm. The woman slightly raised her eyes to look at Kong Mingzi:
"I know."
"I will break through that barrier, and from then on, there will be no distinction between superior and inferior in the Yuanming Realm!"
The moment the woman finished speaking, she heard the mocking voice of her inner demon:
"You, a prodigy nurtured by the Northern Region of the Upper Realm, are actually scheming in the Lower Realm about how to drag down your former fellow Daoist..."
"Don't you find it a bit ironic?"
Xue Lan originally didn't want to deal with her inner demons, but she had promised Xue Tong that she would be an honest wolf.
"Of course it's ironic!"
Xue Lan spoke softly, her eyes slightly lowered:
"It's no exaggeration to say they're traitors!"
The inner demon's expression froze.
The woman's voice was full of resentment: "I forgot how shameless you are!"
"Is there no longer a distinction between upper and lower realms in the Yuan-Ming boundary?"
Before Xue Lan could retort, she heard Kong Mingzi's mocking voice:
"I don't know how high the sky is!"
"It's because the Xuanhuang Sect has spoiled you too much!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, two jade-white bracelets appeared in his hand.
Those were a very rare pair of binding magical artifacts.
"Fellow Daoist Kongmingzi, have you perhaps forgotten!"
Xue Lan spoke loudly in front of the many powerful figures present:
"The lineage has been severed; Xue Lan is no longer a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect on the surface!"
Kongmingzi paused, his murderous aura automatically switching to one of guilt, and turned to look at Daoxuanzi, who hadn't spoken for a long time.
Dao Xuanzi took a look at Xue Lan, whose expression was indifferent.
The cold and ruthless Master Xue has appeared, and Xue Lan is suffering terribly from suppressing his laughter.
Even if she's not officially a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect, it's the same if she digs a tunnel back to Jiyuan Peak later.
After finishing her absurd thoughts, the woman heard Dao Xuanzi's voice:
"Break the boundary, how do you intend to break the boundary?"
"With your Golden Core cultivation level, or with your excellent weapon-forging skills?"
Xue Lan bowed slightly to Dao Xuanzi:
"neither!"
After saying this, Xue Lan turned around and bowed to all the powerful figures who had come to participate in the council, her face bearing a gentle smile and a confident demeanor.
When Qian Zheng was face to face with the woman, he heard her cold voice:
"It's time to start!"
"neither?"
Dao Xuanzi looked at Xue Lan, his laughter booming:
"wishful thinking!"
"How can it be considered wishful thinking?"
A cool female voice sounded behind Xue Lan. Qian Zheng, dressed in gray, stepped forward and bowed slightly to Dao Xuanzi.
Then the woman took out a soft, bluish-green light from her sleeve and gently tossed it into the air.
"It's Lord Aoyagi!"
"It's actually that lord from Yandu!"
"Is Qian Zheng planning to vouch for Xue Lan in that person's name?"
Xue Lan squinted slightly, clearly hearing the whispers of the people behind her, and felt a strange sense of satisfaction, as if someone was backing her up.
Dao Xuanzi watched as the blue light ball released by Qian Zheng slowly dispersed, transforming into a gentle woman dressed in blue in mid-air.
It's chasing the green!
The woman spoke slowly, her voice gentle yet resolute:
"I have already discussed the matter of breaking the boundary with this young friend Xue Lan."
After just one sentence, Zhu Qing's image disappeared again.
But one sentence is enough.
The cave could no longer remain quiet.
Dao Xuanzi looked at Xue Lan and understood:
"You suddenly went to Yandu without permission before the Wan Gong Fang trial, was it for this matter?"
The old man's tone carried a hint of anger:
"What deal did you make with her, and what did you offer as leverage?"
Faced with Dao Xuanzi's questioning, Xue Lan smiled gently:
"I myself am the bargaining chip, worth the risk for her!"
Finally, a powerful figure from an outer sect could no longer contain himself and shouted out:
"Breaking down the barrier between the upper and lower realms? I think you're insane!"
Xue Lan's expression turned cold as she looked at the old man who had spoken earlier.
He was the leader of one of the six sects and twelve schools. Xue Lan had little contact with him and did not know his name.
The woman bowed and greeted the old man with perfect manners, but the words she uttered were utterly blasphemous.
"Fellow Daoist, are you afraid of being blamed by the powerful beings in the Upper Realm?"
The woman's eyes held a gentle smile, but a cold, inorganic quality flashed in her greyish-white pupils.
She tapped Xue Tong in her mind: "Did you get the things?"
Xue Tongsheng, who was carrying his things and preparing to go home, spoke listlessly:
"What's wrong, Father?"
"My situation is a bit embarrassing!" Xue Lan said with a grin.
"Please pass on a few more words to Jinguang for me!"
Xue Tong covered her eyes:
"what's up?"
Xue Lan squinted her eyes:
"Have her guard the passage between the upper and lower realms. For the next fifty years, no one from the upper realm will be allowed to enter the lower realm!"
"I'm about to do something big behind the scenes!"
