Chapter 190: Entering the Death End Grounds!
Seeing the Daoist nuns bowing in front of him, Li Ran impatiently dug his ears.
The different dao, the unrelated.
These people felt that he was a devil. He felt that these Daoist nuns were pedantic. They were not the same people.
This kind of hypocritical courtesy was unnecessary.
When the elders of Tianshu Inst.i.tute saw his lazy appearance, they couldn"t help but feel even more dissatisfied.
In any case, they were top-tier sect elders. They were supreme experts who had transcended tribulation and merged with the Dao. They had taken the initiative to bow down and greet this junior, yet he still ignored them?
This was being too arrogant.
At this moment, the Great Elder stepped forward and asked, "Sect Master, now that Chief Lin is still trapped in the Death End Ground, although Sheng Zi Li has shown kindness to the Tianshu Inst.i.tute, it"s not the time to talk about this!"
“That"s right, saving the chief is more important!"
"One or two days later, she really won"t be able to recover!"
"Chief Lin is in danger!"
"If her Dao Heart collapses, I"m afraid Langyue won"t be able to survive!"
The elders and deacons all spoke out.
They weren"t targeting Li Ran, but rather worried about Lin Langyue"s safety.
Yi Qinglan nodded and said, "I understand the feelings of all of you. Langyue has been following me since she was young to seek Immortal Dao, and I"ve always treated her as my own.
"Now that she"s trapped by the inner demons, this poor Daoist naturally can not sit idly."
The Great Elder said, "Then I"ll ask the Sect Master to take action! Even if her Dao heart is damaged, it"s still better than collapsing the Great Dao and destroying the Dao!"
Yi Qinglan replied, "This poor Daoist will not allow her Dao heart to be damaged, nor will I watch her die and her Dao disappear."
The Great Elder was delighted when he heard this, "Could it be that the sect leader already has a way?"
Yi Qinglan shook her head. "There"s nothing I can do, but there"s something we can do. Today, I had invited Sheng Zi Li to come to save Lin Langyue!"
"What?!"
"Can Li Ran save Langyue?"
"He"s only at the Nascent Soul Realm. What can he do?"
"How can a devil enter our sect"s forbidden land?"
Everyone was discussing spiritedly.
Yi Qinglan shook her head.
None of them knew that Li Ran had become Lin Langyue"s Heavenly Dao.
However, she could not make it clear that if this matter were to spread, the Tianshu Inst.i.tute would not be able to accommodate this chief.
"This poor Daoist has her own plans. You shouldn"t say anything more."
Yi Qinglan waved her sleeve, causing everyone to leave the palace and arrive at a sentry wall.
The cliff was several hundred meters tall and was dark green in color. Its exterior was as smooth as a mirror, but no one could be seen.
Yi Qinglan said to Li Ran, "In the Death End Grounds, all methods are isolated, the Grand Dao has fallen, and there isn"t a single trace of qi. Dao cultivators were no different from mortals.
"There are countless soul-devils there. If your dao heart is unstable, you will instantly disperse."
"You"re not cultivating the Dao of Forgetfulness. As long as you don"t release your mind, the inner demons won"t take the initiative to attack you.
"We can use the red line to communicate. This poor Daoist will guide you."
"If something unexpected happens, this poor Daoist will save you."
She repeatedly warned him.
Just as Li Ran was about to speak, a soft sound rang in his mind.
Ding.
【Mission Release: Heart Refining
Entering the Death End Grounds, use the soul fragment to strengthen the heart and temper the soul!】
"There"s actually a mission?"
Heart Refining… Li Ran"s heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, Yi Qinglan asked, "Sheng Zi Li, are you ready?"
"Ready?" Li Ran nodded."
"Alright." Yi Qinglan stretched out her fair and slender fingers and lightly tapped the cliff.
The entire cliff rippled, and a dark and deep hole appeared, emitting a desolate and desolate aura.
Without any hesitation, Li Ran stepped in.
His body was instantly engulfed by the darkness, and the hole was closed.
Yi Qinglan"s eyes flickered with a divine light as she tore through the vast void. It was as if she was looking in the direction of the Death End Grounds.
Pa.s.sing through the ink-black darkness, after an unknown amount of time, Li Ran finally stepped on the solid ground.
To his eyes, it was a desolate land.
Under the gloomy sky, the surface of the earth cracked like a desert. Only a few crooked trees stood alone, looking lifeless.
A semi-translucent spirit swept across the air, emitting a terrifying aura.
Desolate, deathly silent.
This was a place where all creatures were destroyed.
Li Ran felt that.
There wasn"t a single trace of spirit energy in the air, and no Daoist techniques or divine abilities could be sensed.
Li Ran connected a line of affinity and sent a mental message, "Daoist Yi, which direction should I go?"
Yi Qinglan answered, "Keep going. Lang Yue"s not far away."
Li Ran followed her words and walked forward.
Yi Qinglan didn"t lie to him. The discarnate souls in the air turned a blind eye to him and had no intention of attacking him.
"But if this inner demon doesn"t attack me, how can I temper my soul?"
Li Ran couldn"t help scratching his head. "Forget it. Let"s go save her first…"
He followed Yi Qinglan"s instructions all along the way, and after roughly enough time for an incense stick to burn, he saw a white figure from afar.
Lin Langyue sat cross-legged, her eyes closed, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
Countless translucent discarnate souls hovered above her head, greedily staring at her like vultures.
The moment her Dao Heart collapsed, she would be devoured by these Heart Demons.
Yi Qinglan replied, "More and more inner demons are being attracted. Be careful and don"t provoke these things."
"Alright." Li Ran walked to her side and gently pushed her. "Lin Langyue, wake up."
Hearing his voice, Lin Langyue frowned slightly, as if she was struggling.
But she still could not open her eyes.
Yi Qinglan"s voice was solemn. "Looks like she"s deeply possessed and can"t be easily awakened, so we can only use the second plan."
Li Ran nodded and took out a mirror.
Yin Yang Mirror.
This was a very special magic treasure.
The black side was Yin, and the white side was Yang.
The Yin surface could absorb the remnant soul and store it in the mirror. The Yang surface could release the remnant soul, which was a unique attack method.
Releasing the discarnate soul required spirit energy, but it didn"t need to be absorbed, so it could be used in the Death End Grounds.
This was the second method Yi Qinglan had told him.
He would use the Yin Yang Mirror to separate the inner demons.
Li Ran placed the black side in front of Lin Langyue, and a faint light flickered as her face appeared on the black mirror.
At the same time, a semi-transparent remnant soul was slowly removed.
Lin Langyue"s expression was one of pain as she watched the discarnate soul peel away. Her aura grew more and more chaotic, and her entire body began to tremble.
In the instant that they were completely separated, her phoenix eyes suddenly opened. The light in her eyes was like a candle in the wind, about to extinguish in the next second.
Her Dao Heart was on the verge of collapsing when the Heart Demon was forcibly removed.
At this moment, Li Ran"s faint voice rang out, "The void in all directions has vanished, returning to the Nirvana.
"You can"t be tempted to think about it when you"re in the realm of a bit of light. You"ve only just thought about it, and you"ve already become a remnant…"
It was as if Lin Langyue"s pale face had regained its color when she heard the voice of the Grand Dao. Her Dao Heart, which was on the verge of collapse, had stabilized once again.
To her, Li Ran was the Great Dao. Only Li Ran could stabilize her Dao Heart.
Yi Qinglan finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.
"Fortunately…" Before she could finish, her eyes narrowed. "Be careful!"
