Chapter 409: Demonic Abyss Listening to the Way
The demonic energy surged, creating a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.
This is the bottom of the abyss, filled with stark white bones. Countless demons were once trapped here, but were killed by the Heavenly Emperor's sword and buried here.
Their resentment, bitterness, and curses formed an astonishing malice, like ice that has remained frozen for tens of thousands of years, sending chills down one's spine.
Just staying here for a few days would probably drive even the strongest cultivator crazy.
"It's so cold here..."
Hua Tianqingyi shivered and subconsciously shrank her body. At this moment, an aura emanated from Li Lan and enveloped her. Instantly, the chill receded like a tide.
"Where is this place?"
Hua Tianqingyi said, "Are we... going to die here?"
But Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry."
"This is the bottom of the Demon Abyss. These demons are suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor Sword and cannot harm us."
If it weren't for the Heavenly Emperor Sword being here, Li Lan wouldn't have dared to enter!
That's right, he chose to come here on his own initiative.
This place is an inaccessible forbidden zone and a forbidden zone for others, but for Li Lan, it is a place of opportunity!
Demonic malice, the blood-red primordial chaos, and so on, were all highly nourishing to him.
"So, do you still need to fight me?"
Li Lan raised his eyes and looked at the blood-red creature opposite him!
It was the Crimson Primordial, and at this moment, it still retained its human form, though it had no face, and seemed to have fallen into silence.
"You have a connection with the owner of that sword. Starfall Plain is just a cover for you."
After a long while, the Crimson Primordial slowly spoke.
Li Lan's cover-up could fool others, but it couldn't fool the Crimson Primordial.
After all, the Crimson Primordial is a creation of the Great Dao, and is naturally a Dao Body, so it can naturally sense Li Lan's situation.
"The universe is primordial and has formed the Great Dao. Your Dao is supreme, and we should naturally enter into your Dao."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson creature suddenly disintegrated, transforming into a trickle of water that converged towards Li Lan.
Actively converge!
Li Lan sat cross-legged calmly, and this primordial substance flowed directly into his body.
boom!
At this moment, it was as if vast worlds were unfolding around Li Lan, the birth and death of universes, with countless stars, the rise and fall of eras, the fading of civilizations, the birth of the Great Dao into the sun and moon, and its eventual return to the sediment...
At this moment, Li Lan felt as if he were witnessing the birth and death of a world.
He witnessed one extraordinary genius after another rise to prominence over time, forging their own unique and astonishing paths...
These geniuses eventually perished, but their immortal brilliance, after their deaths, converged into the chaos of world civilization.
As the river of time flows on and on, when the entire world perishes, the principles and laws left behind by countless living beings converge into a hazy entity that transcends all else…
That is the beginning!
"So that's how it is..."
Li Lan's expression turned solemn.
Previously, he had also questioned Xingluoyuan, Wuxing Niangniang, and others about the origin of the primordial being.
After all, this kind of thing is really amazing. Even if it is only the lowest level of colorless primordial, the profound meaning of the Great Dao contained within it is extremely amazing.
How could such a wondrous creation exist in the world?
At that time, the Five Elements Goddess once said that it was possible that every original thing came from a world that had long since perished.
Only the most prosperous civilizations and the most powerful cultivators can condense the essence of the Great Dao. And these things, after the civilization dissipates and all living beings perish, will give birth to their own consciousness. This is the primordial state!
Crimson Primordial is a high-level substance among primordial matter, so it naturally comes from the most vast world.
"Living beings will perish, the flame of civilization will fade, but the path they pursue is eternal, and will endure forever..."
As if in a dream, Li Lan seemed to hear a soft sigh.
All of this quickly dissipated; the illusory scene was gone, leaving only the power of the Great Dao of primordial matter filling Li Lan's entire body.
Li Lan manipulated these substances, forming a Heavenly Blade, which he used to slash directly at the last bloodline binding him.
Boom!
The noose left behind by the mighty Eternal King has vanished into thin air!
In an instant, all of Li Lan's cultivation, blood and energy, and soul were rapidly recovering!
He has regained all his previous realms.
At this moment, he felt as if he were standing on a heavenly road, embarking on his journey in a daze, opening the door to see the void, penetrating the truth and transforming it into reality, absorbing the forbidden and riding the wind, and creating water from the earth...
This is his own world of Dao!
At this moment, the vast and surging primordial crimson power, under his guidance, transformed into a celestial fire in his world, falling from the heavens and spreading across the earth. In an instant, endless vegetation was ignited, and the power of fire burned the entire world!
Li Lan has also entered a completely new realm—Divine Fire!
Ordinary cultivators in the Eternal True Realm ride the wind with a single wisp of air, the Breath of Earth is merely their foothold, the springs they create are only a tiny sliver, and the trees they grow are only a few tender green leaves.
But Li Lan was different from ordinary people from the very beginning. He rode the wind and soared ninety thousand miles, and the land of his breath was a boundless world. What he carved out was a vast ocean, and what he gave birth to was a vast grassland and forest.
The divine fire of mortals is but a tiny candle flame, while his divine fire is a raging inferno!
"The forbidden path... is this how you walk it?"
At this moment, Houtu Thirteen in his sea of consciousness were all shocked.
The cultivation system of the primordial world is the same as that of the Eternal True Realm; both are forbidden paths, the only difference being the use of primordial matter.
However, even in the primordial world, it had never seen such a forbidden world before...
Even the most talented person, before the earth-shattering event, could only create a world that was at most a hundred miles in size, which was already quite remarkable.
But Li Lan's... really is like a vast world.
Complete and magnificent.
"No wonder……"
Xingluoyuan couldn't help but murmur to himself.
The forbidden world is the manifestation of the cultivator's own Great Dao.
Li Lan is ignorant, so his forbidden world is naturally all-encompassing and contains everything.
Truly vast and boundless.
Seeing Li Lan's forbidden world fully displayed before his eyes was as shocking as having all the masterpieces of the world's greatest masters placed in front of a novice child learning to paint!
What is riding the wind? Soaring ninety thousand miles high, it is a wild horse, a speck of dust, and all living things blowing in the wind!
What is the Breath of Earth? It is boundless and immeasurably thick, capable of supporting all living beings in the world.
What is Bishui? It is vast and boundless, nourishing the endless land.
What is life? A single blade of grass can cut through the sky, a single tree can support the universe; all things flourish, full of vitality!
What is divine fire? It is the fire of heaven that spreads across the land, nourishing the earth and accumulating embers of warmth amidst the burning and forging of flames.
"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening..."
He was like a fanatical believer, with a kind of devout piety in his eyes!
Houtu Thirteen couldn't help but have a complicated expression. It knew that this holy son of the Third Clan had been completely conquered by Li Lan, and would probably become Li Lan's devoted follower for the rest of his life!
……
And much later.
Li Lan slowly opened her eyes.
He was quite fortunate to have obtained the Crimson Primordial Essence of this place; otherwise, Dongya's Heavenly Will Chains would have been truly difficult to break free from.
Because a piece of the Crimson Primordial Chaos is the Great Dao Power of a world. That Heavenly Will's slash was equivalent to using a dead world to suppress Li Lan!
"What kind of cultivation technique do you practice? It feels... stronger than that of my clan's ancestor?"
At this moment, Hua Tianqingyi also spoke.
She was also shocked, and at the same time, somewhat puzzled: "There's a strange sense of familiarity about this..."
"Want to learn?"
Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "I'll teach you."
Upon hearing this, Hua Tianqingyi was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Really...?"
"certainly,"
Li Lan smiled and then said, "Sit down, and I'll tell you slowly."
Hua Tianqingyi immediately sat up obediently, just like a primary school child.
"The great principles are countless, but in reality, they all originate from a single thought..."
Li Lan began to preach to her!
Having broken through to the Divine Fire Realm, Li Lan's understanding of the Great Dao has deepened even further.
Moreover, he did intend to pave the way for Hua Tianqingyi's future.
The method she is currently cultivating is the Hua Tian clan's technique, which is an absolute secret in the entire Eternal True Realm and is extremely profound, but in Li Lan's opinion, it is still not enough!
He explained in detail, using the simplest and most straightforward language to expound on the most profound and difficult principles!
Houtu Shisan and Xingluoyuan, who were standing nearby, were even more excited and quickly began to listen attentively!
They all knew that Li Lan's understanding and comprehension of the Great Dao was probably even more astonishing than that of the Immortal King and the Ancestral Demon. Being able to listen to Li Lan preach was an immense opportunity.
For a moment, the three listened attentively, and before they knew it, they were completely absorbed.
Li Lan had already thoroughly grasped the Dao, so he avoided those profound and difficult-to-understand words and phrases, using the simplest language to explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
It was as if the three of them had been given wings of the Great Dao, allowing them to roam freely in the ocean of the Great Dao!
As he preached, golden lotuses began to bloom around him, unnoticed, amidst the sacred clouds...
In this gloomy place, the spot where Li Lan was located seemed to have become a pure land of the Great Dao.
A very, very long time later.
"Is this the Great Dao?"
Hua Tianqingyi seemed to awaken from a dream. Around her, wisps of pure energy appeared. As she listened, she naturally comprehended the Dao, and her cultivation underwent a transformation!
"The Hua Tian clan's profound laws are actually so crude and vulgar..."
She couldn't help but shake her head.
As a celestial maiden of the Huatian clan, she was extremely proud from a young age, believing that the Huatian clan's methods could rival those of all the heroes in the world, but now...
Having seen the vast ocean, one understands the narrowness and shallowness of that small lake.
"It feels so familiar..."
At the same time, a hint of doubt crept into her beautiful eyes. The more she interacted with Li Lan, the more she felt a natural closeness and trust with him.
This feeling wasn't even felt by their closest relatives...
"To claim ancestor status is acceptable!"
Beside her, Houtu Thirteen had already excitedly spoken up.
Carrying its heavy tortoise shell, it stood up like a human, excitedly pounding its chest, and said:
"Having obtained this path, I can go to the primordial world and create my own great lineage!"
It is incredibly confident.
Beside him, Xing Luoyuan was now deeply immersed in a state of enlightenment. Behind him, eleven true images of the Great Dao he had comprehended overlapped one after another, and then, the twelfth, the thirteenth…
As they continued to increase, eventually, his Great Dao True Image actually reached more than twenty.
There was still a downward trend, but at this moment he suddenly stopped and opened his eyes. The more than twenty figures merged into one, achieving "fusion and unification"!
