Chapter 204 Refining the Dao to Enter the Taiyi Realm
Are you ready for battle?
Li Lan remained calm, but the big black dog couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, staring at Li Lan for a long time before saying, "This emperor has no interest in fighting you."
"You want to fight on the Bridge of Life and Death? Then go fight on the Bridge of Life and Death!"
With a single swipe of its claw, Li Lan vanished from the scene, disappearing into a mysterious space the next moment.
He was standing on a giant bridge!
This bridge is extremely peculiar, surrounded by the primordial and ecliptic energies, with each end pointing towards a different world, as if it could transcend life and death!
As soon as Li Lan landed, the Samsara Seal in his dantian immediately responded.
The Bridge of Life and Death!
Li Lan immediately confirmed the origin of the item.
Legend has it that this is a supreme treasure personally crafted by its former master, the only passage in the world capable of bridging the gap between life and death...
Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind swept in, and Li Lan looked up abruptly, only to see a figure of light and shadow appear before him.
The aura emanating from that being in the light and shadow was extremely powerful. This punch seemed to contain boundless killing power, no less than the forbidden techniques of the White Tiger Clan that Li Lan had seen before.
"what is this?"
Li Lan was somewhat surprised, but he did not hesitate and unleashed a punch, unleashing the aura of a true dragon.
He fought against the mark, exchanging blows as if they had transformed into two humanoid dragons, clashing in every aspect of their movements, strength, speed, and laws.
Even though Li Lan had seen the magic of the ancestors of various races in the magic refining array, he still felt unprecedented pressure at this moment.
This mark is extremely powerful; the person must have been an unparalleled master in life.
The other party is in a state of extreme confinement, and seems to have gained some understanding of the rules and so on.
"Fighting against opponents of the same cultivation level..."
Li Lan showed no fear; on the contrary, this was an excellent opportunity for him to hone his skills.
Since he cultivated the True Dragon Technique, the Heaven-Mending Technique, and the Three Arts of the Bright Venerable to the extreme, he has almost no rivals at the same level. Even the strange creatures in the refining array cannot force him into a life-or-death situation.
But now, this mark on the Bridge of Life and Death gives him this thrilling feeling.
A single wrong decision can lead to destruction, and a single misstep can result in defeat.
Li Lan went all out, focused intently, and devoted herself to the extreme!
……
And this moment.
On the stone throne in the main hall of the Patching Sky Clan.
"The strongest warriors throughout history have served as your practice targets... Only those who can defeat you will be considered the true new master."
The big black dog muttered something and, through the boundary between reality and illusion, saw the great battle on the Bridge of Life and Death.
At the same time, he also swept across a stretch of time and space. At this moment, Sun Wukong was also engaged in a bloody battle. If he wanted to get out, he would have to fight his way through an entire stretch of time and space, enough to sweep across an entire era!
This was a true test for both Li Lan and Sun Wukong!
Do you remember me?
Then, the big black dog turned around and looked at the female spirit Qingyan in the main hall!
When it threw Li Lan into the Bridge of Life and Death, it also left Qingyan behind.
"It looks familiar, but I've forgotten..."
She looked at the big black dog, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"I'll remember."
A look of heartache flashed in the big black dog's eyes as it said, "There are still many people waiting for you in the Origin Realm. I will devise a plan for you to seize the power of the Gray Mist and help you remember your past and present lives!"
The big black dog's eyes were sinister. "A new master has emerged in this life. Once he restarts the cycle of reincarnation, we can return to the Origin Realm to gather our army and once again conquer the Origin!"
"This time, I will let those bastards know what cruelty is!"
……
Li Lan was engaged in a fierce battle on the Bridge of Life and Death, and had completely lost track of time!
He felt like only a few days had passed, but it also felt like several years had gone by...
He never stopped; as soon as he managed to defeat one person, another mark would immediately appear.
"Just what kind of monsters are they?"
Even Li Lan couldn't help but marvel at how powerful the marks left on the Bridge of Life and Death were.
They were all once unparalleled and awe-inspiring figures in history!
In fact, he was almost killed several times, but relying on the forbidden Heaven-Mending Technique, his flesh and blood were reborn from a drop of blood, as if he had been reborn from the ashes.
Now, he has become the 109th major enemy he has faced.
This was a master of the Way of Fire, continuously releasing various legendary fire techniques such as Samadhi True Fire, Nanming Li Fire, and Nine Netherworld Purgatory Fire, causing Li Lan's skin to be torn open and his whole body to be charred black, with many parts almost being roasted.
Li Lan had mastered all his techniques to the extreme, yet he was still locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle with his opponent, and he was burned to a crisp three times in a row!
Relying on his own True Dragon Technique and the Three Arts of the Bright Lord, he was completely unable to defeat his opponent.
This fire-controlling being was undoubtedly the strongest person he had ever encountered, making him almost despair.
"If one isn't enough, then let's have another!"
Li Lan roared, his whole body trembling in this life-or-death situation. He threw a punch, but this punch was not from any of his training; it was as if it was thrown randomly.
But this punch also seemed to contain the techniques of many masters he had fought before.
Blend!
This time, the fire master's endless wall of fire was finally breached.
Li Lan launched her first counterattack!
"I borrow your fire to make myself!"
Li Lan shouted and threw punches in succession. At this moment, his state was at its most exquisite. His will, source power, soul and so on had reached a delicate balance. He was oblivious to the world and himself, intoxicated yet clear-headed. He was not bound by any method or technique. He could use any technique or supernatural power he had never comprehended before.
Boom!
Finally, he struck down with his palm, which seemed to contain the rudiments of various Daos, astonishingly extinguishing all kinds of Dao fires. This powerful fire-controlling expert was ultimately defeated by him!
At this moment, the Bridge of Life and Death finally fell into tranquility.
It seems that this master of fire control is the last one left!
Li Lan sat down cross-legged. At this moment, he was in excellent condition. All sorts of feelings from the life-and-death battle just now surged up, as if he were standing on a cloud, watching the myriad rays of light, and a sudden inspiration struck him.
He is attaining enlightenment!
Having gone through 109 battles, each one against figures of unparalleled stature, teetering between life and death, he gained profound insights that transcended all others, directly revealing the core of the Great Dao.
At the same time, Li Lan's Immortal Source Points and other resources were automatically mobilized and poured into the entire process of enlightenment, providing him with assistance.
Li Lan still had no less than ten million catties of immortal energy left in his body. At this moment, he was frantically converting and continuously investing it, but the rate at which he consumed it was extremely astonishing. In just one day, it was already almost depleted!
His body was like a bottomless pit, frantically taking and absorbing from its surroundings. However, there was no immortal source on the Bridge of Life and Death, so this range even affected the main hall where the big black dog was.
"what?"
The big black dog was startled.
"In just two thousand years, he actually defeated all one hundred and nine of them..."
It was somewhat shocked.
It should be noted that these 109 were people it had personally witnessed. Some of them created an immortal civilization, some amazed several eras, and some even dared to challenge its master!
Moreover, being an outsider observing, it naturally understands that the great battle between Li Lan and these 109 people on the Bridge of Life and Death has actually lasted for two thousand years.
Li Lan's cultivation and talent are indeed unparalleled throughout the ages!
"Is this to borrow the teachings of 109 masters and develop its own rudimentary Taiyi form?"
The big black dog was certainly aware of Li Lan's current state.
The so-called Taiyi is also known as a great power in the immortal path. At this stage, one comprehends the rudimentary form of the Dao, which gradually becomes fuller, and finally, when one reaches the level of an immortal saint, the Dao is initially formed!
"A large amount of immortal essence is needed..."
It also noticed Li Lan's condition and was burning resources very quickly.
The big black dog suddenly looked into the distance and said, "Come see me."
Before the words had even finished, a figure appeared. It was none other than the Supreme Immortal Emperor. He looked excited and asked, "Senior, did you summon the Supreme Dao because the Great Elixir has been refined?"
"It's still early,"
The big black dog said calmly, "This medicine requires a massive amount of source energy to supplement it. Go and get some immortal source energy as quickly as possible, there is no limit!"
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Immortal Emperor showed no doubt whatsoever. Instead, he nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately!"
This matter concerns whether he can successfully take control of the Gray Mist, so he will try to obtain even imperial medicine, let alone immortal sources!
……
Baishui tribe.
Xun Yuan Tianjun and Bai Daotu were playing chess and chatting.
"Seek the Origin!"
A voice has already been heard.
Xun Yuan Tianjun and Bai Daotu hurriedly stood up and bowed in the direction from which the sound came, but this time, the Supreme Immortal Emperor did not descend in person.
"Quickly gather as much immortal energy as possible and send it here without fail!"
The Supreme Immortal Emperor only uttered one sentence!
Upon hearing this, Xun Yuan Tianjun hurriedly replied, "I will obey my master's orders!"
"Use all the immortal resources of the Bai Shui clan to support them for now!"
The Supreme Immortal Emperor added another sentence, and Bai Daotu immediately agreed.
Immediately, both Bai Daotu and Xun Yuan Tianjun took immediate action.
"Quickly, retrieve all the reserves, including our clan's divine source, and send them to the ancestral land of the Heaven-Mending Clan!"
Bai Daotu gave the order, and immediately the entire Bai Shui Clan was mobilized. Even the Immortal Venerable personally took out a portion of divine source and sent it to the ancestral land of the Patching Heaven Clan.
Meanwhile, Xun Yuan Tianjun hurriedly left Wuloutian and headed towards the Celestial Court.
Soon after, Xun Yuan Tianjun arrived at the Celestial Court and immediately issued an order: "Immediately mobilize all the Celestial Sources within the Celestial Court!"
Gu Ling was taken aback and asked, "Master, why are you suddenly mobilizing so many resources?"
"The Immortal Emperor is useful."
Xun Yuan Tianjun simply said one sentence, then took the Earth Talisman and personally went to several Immortal Venerable Palaces!
There is no shortage of divine sources in the Celestial Court, but they are all overseen by Celestial Venerable level experts, requiring him to personally carry the Emperor's Seal.
A continuous stream of immortal energy was sent over.
"Master, we have mobilized a total of 200 million catties of immortal essence so far, and it will take some more time!"
Xun Yuan Tianjun nodded: "Two hundred million catties of ordinary immortal essence, plus three hundred catties of divine essence, should be about right..."
"Keep raising funds!"
He immediately took a bunch of storage rings and stepped onto the formation again. Soon after, he arrived at the Baishui tribe, entered the Butian tribe's territory, and presented two hundred million catties of immortal essence.
"very good!"
The Supreme Immortal Emperor nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction!
"With these immortal sources, I can achieve the Great Dao, and I will surely obtain the authority of the Gray Mist, which will then endure forever in this world!"
He respectfully delivered all the immortal essence to the big black dog.
……
And this moment.
On the Bridge of Life and Death, Li Lan was constantly comprehending the Great Dao. The life-and-death battle that lasted for two thousand years had given him countless insights that, under the infusion of massive amounts of immortal energy, grew wildly, intertwining and confirming each other.
The imprints, principles, spells, and supernatural powers of the 109 masters enveloped his mind like a gentle spring breeze.
Yes, in this process, he comprehended the Dao of all 109 peerless masters!
That's why it requires such an enormous amount of immortal energy!
"What is the Phoenix Clan's fire path worth? I shall use all paths as fire to merge with the ultimate truth!"
Li Lan suddenly opened his eyes. At that moment, the techniques and principles of the 109 masters became his fuel, suddenly turning into a cluster of flames!
The flame was born from the Dao and originated from the Law. In just one moment, Li Lan's aura changed dramatically. He had comprehended the rudimentary form of his own Dao and stepped into the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal. From then on, he could be called a great power!
