Chapter 291 Recognizing the Master
"Fellow Daoist, do you have any insightful opinions?"
Xin Yunhe glanced at Li Lan indifferently.
He was quite displeased, but Li Lan was Cihang Saintess's person, so he had no choice but to patiently speak for now.
Cihang Saintess also looked at Li Lan with some doubt.
Li Lan calmly stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Holy Maiden, I have been studying the scriptures diligently these past few days, and I once came across a sentence in one of them: 'If I don't go to hell, who will?'"
"If my heart is moved, I am willing to brave the flames of hell!"
I'd gladly walk into hellfire!
These words startled everyone present.
"Has he gone mad? He wants to enter the fiery hell of the Heaven-Mending Palace?"
"Even the divine bodies and emperor-level experts of the Ziwei Holy Land are helpless. Who is this kid, that he is so arrogant!"
"He is a newly accepted believer of the Cihang Holy Land. He is said to be a Heavenly Buddha Seed, and may have some extraordinary qualities... but he is still too arrogant."
Everyone spoke up.
The Holy Son of Ziwei, Xin Yunhe, raised an eyebrow slightly, staring intently at Li Lan, while pondering in his heart.
Their biggest purpose in setting this up was to find Li Lan, the Lord of Reincarnation.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of this believer from Cihang Holy Land made him think of something... but upon careful consideration, it seemed unlikely.
Cihang Saintess was seriously injured by Li Lan, and she hated Li Lan to the bone. Moreover, she was someone who had cultivated the method of insight. If this believer was really Li Lan, how could she not see it?
The Holy Maiden Cihang was also somewhat surprised at this moment.
She stared at Li Lan, scrutinizing him for a long time: "This journey may not be a return."
"If I cannot return, it means my affinity with Buddhism is not yet fulfilled, and death is not a pity!" Li Lan laughed freely.
Seeing this, Miao Wuyu's eyes flickered slightly, but she finally nodded and said, "Alright."
"Come here, I'll support your head and pray for your well-being."
Li Lan immediately walked up to her and bowed slightly. She gently stroked Li Lan's hair with her slender hand and said, "May the Buddha protect you."
Then he stopped and said, "Go ahead."
Li Lan couldn't help but find it amusing, because he had already sensed that... the Holy Maiden Cihang had clearly taken the opportunity to place one of her own relics into his body.
She clearly didn't want Li Lan to really die.
"Thank you, Holy Maiden,"
Li Lan didn't expose him, then turned around, walked into the arena, and said, "I am Shan Que from the Cihang Holy Land. I dare to request to try the Fire Hell!"
Seeing that he was serious, many people in the room were moved.
"As expected of people from the Cihang Holy Land, their actions are unpredictable."
"There are indeed some fanatical people in the Cihang Holy Land. Once they have accepted a certain Buddhist principle, they often disregard life and death. This Shanque is also a delusional person!"
……
Xin Yunhe couldn't very well refuse the Cihang Holy Land's request, so he nodded and said, "Since you have such a grand ambition, how could I, Yunhe, dare not grant it? Please!"
He waved his hand.
Li Lan calmly approached, and an old man opened the divine metal cage. The five-colored stone immediately emitted a burst of light, enveloping Li Lan. The next moment, Li Lan disappeared!
……
“Holy Maiden, you are placing far too much importance on Shan Que.”
Jingchan stood behind Miao Wuyu and couldn't help but whisper, somewhat worried.
The relic that Miao Wuyu gave to Li Lan was a manifestation of her own past life, and it was extremely precious to her.
"worth."
Miao Wuyu calmly said, "If I don't go to hell, who will? Few dare to try this Buddhist saying. Shan Que has Buddha-nature, so we should grant his request."
Jingchan sighed, "The Holy Maiden's intentions are truly admirable!"
She knew that the reason why the Holy Maiden Cihang did not tell Li Lan, but secretly placed the relic on Li Lan, was precisely to fulfill Li Lan's wish.
If Li Lan were to know that he had a treasure protecting him, it would actually damage Li Lan's fearlessness.
Behind the Holy Maiden Cihang, Zhuang Shenmo's expression was somewhat complicated, and he murmured to himself:
"Is it worth it to pick up girls... Damn, what a show-off!"
But despite his complaints, a hint of admiration still flashed in his eyes.
……
Before me was a raging inferno!
Upon entering this place, Li Lan indeed felt a powerful force of rules pressing down on him, suppressing his cultivation.
Once inside, one can no longer rely on cultivation to protect oneself, and even magical treasures will lose their power.
But... Li Lan was fearless!
He came here not to truly practice the Buddhist saying "If I don't go to hell, who will?" nor to save Ling Xuewei and the others.
Rather, it was to mend the Heavenly Palace!
This is absolutely a treasure, a relic left behind by Nuwa. The moment this object appeared, Li Lan's Heaven-Mending Technique secretly activated, sensing its presence.
After a moment's thought, he decided to subdue it!
After all, this item is a treasure of the Primordial Emperor Star Ancestral God, how could it be plundered by the Ziwei Sacred Land?
Therefore, they used the pretext of Buddhist teachings to enter this place.
Fortunately, the Cihang Holy Maiden was a Buddhist who had gone mad from practicing Buddhism, and there were quite a few delusional people in the Cihang Holy Land, so no one suspected her. Otherwise, this excuse would not have worked.
"The fire that tempers the body can only be broken by a fearless heart..."
Li Lan glanced at it. He was an expert in the art of mending the heavens, and with the activation of his Great Dao Heavenly Eye, he immediately understood the mystery of this place!
These flames of the Great Dao are extremely terrifying; they can really burn people to death!
However, after death, a trace of the power to mend the heavens will descend from the flames. If the deceased has no regrets, this regret will become the hope for rebirth, and they will be reborn from the obsession.
No wonder the Purple Star Sacred Land, with its boundless resources and countless experts, has been unable to use this item even after possessing it for so long.
Who can enter this place without regret?
The goddess Nuwa, who created this palace in the past, had the great merit of creating humans from yellow earth and the rebellious act of refining stones to mend the sky. She was truly single-minded and without regrets. Only by relying on this unwavering dedication can later generations inherit everything from her.
Therefore, upon careful consideration, Li Lan's Buddhist saying, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" is indeed the method to unseal the Heaven-Mending Palace.
If anyone can put this statement into practice, they will surely be allowed to enter!
Li Lan couldn't help but admire the painstaking efforts of the Heaven-Mending Ancestor God. The seal she left behind could almost guarantee that this Dao Palace would never fall into the hands of treacherous villains.
Logically speaking, even with such a fearless and unrepentant heart, he would still have to endure the tribulations of being burned to ashes and undergoing Nirvana. However, he had already cultivated the method of mending the heavens, so at this moment, he did not need to go through this ordeal again.
He stepped forward, his own Heaven-Mending Technique activated, and his aura arose accordingly. Suddenly, a five-colored, crystalline light appeared on his body, like a feather robe, light and hazy, yet it could not be eroded by the surrounding flames.
When one has achieved minor success in the Heaven-Mending Technique, one can develop a "stone skin" to protect oneself from many disasters and calamities. Only when one has achieved major success can one, like Li Lan, protect one's body with colorless immortal light.
He stepped inside and quickly traversed the boundless sea of fire, entering the inner world of the Dao Palace.
In this secluded little paradise, a clear spring flows from who-knows-where, meandering through the area. Flowers and grasses grow along the stream, and colorful stones are scattered among the lawn.
It looks very elegant and serene.
But Li Lan knew that the grass, trees, and stones in front of him were not physical entities, but rather evolved from the power of rules.
The moment Li Lan appeared, a totem appeared in the sky above the small secret realm. It was a goddess flying towards the sky, with a basket on her arm containing five-colored stones!
This scene was exactly the same as the totem of the Sky-Mending Clan that Li Lan had seen in the underworld.
A mysterious force descended from the totem, flowing into Li Lan's body in countless strands. At this moment, Li Lan suddenly felt that everything in this secret realm was reflected in his heart, and he could influence this secret realm with a single thought!
This is... recognizing a master!
The Heaven-Mending Palace voluntarily recognized its master.
At the same time, countless images flashed through his mind:
A young girl wielding a sword once attained enlightenment here, evolving into the supreme swordsmanship, her sword intent astonishing!
A barefoot ascetic monk once meditated here for three hundred years, and finally opened his eyes, instantly attaining enlightenment.
A powerful Fighting Demon Ape once fought a fierce battle with another version of itself here. In the end, it defeated itself, and the prototype of the Limitless Battle Technique finally appeared... This being was none other than the Fighting Demon God!
……
Throughout history, how many people have sought enlightenment in the Heaven-Mending Palace?
Countless geniuses, a multitude of powerful figures, and even beings like the Fighting Demon God have all visited... They have all left their own methods and seeds within the Dao Palace.
It can be said that the Heaven-Mending Palace contains endless Dao treasures, and many methods that have disappeared from the Primordial Emperor Star can be found in it.
Li Lan was quite excited. With this Dao Palace, the inheritance of the Primordial Emperor Star could be restored.
"This Dao Palace is truly extraordinary!"
He couldn't help but sigh!
This item must be retrieved from the Holy Land of Ziwei.
However, although he has now been recognized as the master of the Dao Palace, he cannot take it away. After all, the Ziwei Holy Land is too heavily guarded. In order to prevent the Dao Palace from escaping, a cage was forged with divine metal.
"We can only leave it here for now and plan to deal with it later."
Li Lan felt somewhat regretful.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and walked out of the sea of fire once again.
As he emerged from the sea of fire, with each step he took, the power of the flames dissipated a little. When he completely emerged from the light, the sea of fire behind him had vanished completely.
"He's out!"
"What? He's still alive? How is that possible!"
"Could it be that he didn't go in?"
A flash of light appeared in the cage, and Li Lan reappeared inside the enormous cage, completely unharmed.
"Since Fellow Daoist Shanque cannot break this, it is time to offer a blood sacrifice..."
Xin Yunhe spoke calmly. In his opinion, Li Lan was wasting his time. He only allowed Li Lan to go through this ordeal to save face for the Holy Maiden Cihang.
The Earth cultivators, including Liu Guiyuan and Ling Xuewei, were filled with utter despair.
"How is it?"
But the Holy Maiden Cihang looked at Li Lan with a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.
"I have fulfilled my mission. The seal on this treasure has been broken, and the sea of fire has been extinguished!"
Li Lan said.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked.
"What? The lockdown was successfully lifted?"
"How is that possible!"
"What the Ziwei Holy Land couldn't even accomplish, he, a mere follower of the Cihang Holy Land, could possibly do? How dare he boast!"
Everyone spoke up, expressing their disbelief.
"Fellow Daoist, a monk does not lie!"
Xin Yunhe said in a deep voice.
"If you don't believe me, why don't you come inside and take a look!"
Li Lan smiled.
"Okay, let's go take a look!"
"Enter!"
"I want to see what's going on!"
Everyone spoke up, and Xin Yunhe raised an eyebrow slightly. Could this guy have really done it?
"In that case, why don't we go inside and take a look?"
The Holy Maiden Cihang had already stood up, and a rare smile appeared in her eyes!
"it is good."
Xin Yunhe immediately spoke, and then everyone in the arena stood up one by one and walked to the cage. The five-colored stone emitted light, and instantly, everyone disappeared from the arena!
