Chapter 362 The Divine Realm and the Mortal World Are Not Real

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure walked over leisurely.

The newcomer was a young girl. She wore a long black dress, but it did not make her look heavy or gloomy at all. Instead, it made her look even taller and more graceful. Her snow-white skin and eyes as clear as autumn water added to her lively spirit.

Li Lan was stunned, because this person was none other than Shangguan Xiaoxiao!

Back then, when Li Lan fought the demon god in the underworld, he performed a ritual to save all living beings in the world. Most of these beings transformed into spiritual light and arrived in the mortal realm, where they had to be reincarnated to appear again.

However, a few people did not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but left directly.

After the God of War was resurrected, a hidden path appeared beneath his feet, and he disappeared after stepping on it.

After Sister Cat asked Shangguan Xiaoxiao to stay and help Li Lan break through the dam, she left.

Li Lan had been in the mortal realm for a long time, and had never heard any news about them again.

Now, I actually saw Shangguan Xiaoxiao in the Samsara Palace?

But she became a guardian?

Li Lan remained silent, while the other elders of the Samsara Palace hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

"Greetings, Guardian!"

Everyone spoke up.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao waved her hand casually, her gaze sweeping across the scene, but she couldn't help pausing slightly when it landed on Li Daozhi.

"You and that new master of reincarnation must have some karmic connection."

She said calmly, "Work hard, you have a bright future."

Li Daozhi and Li Lan look very alike, and Li Lan's blood flows in their veins, so even their auras are similar.

Upon hearing this, Li Daozhi hurriedly bowed, feeling flattered and flattered, and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Guardian!"

He was incredibly excited to receive such recognition from this guardian.

"I've heard that you have a total of five disciples this year, and they're currently competing to determine who will possess the protective charm? I'm curious, is there already a result?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Elder Chu's face immediately turned grim. He stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the envoy, although there are five disciples, Jin Ruofeng has not cultivated any mortal scriptures and therefore does not meet the requirements..."

"Did he lose?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao simply asked.

"No, not at all..."

"If that's the case, what's the point of further discussion? The Mortal Scripture is the foremost scripture in the world. If one cultivates this scripture yet cannot even defeat others, one has unjustly disgraced the Mortal Scripture. How can one be qualified to obtain the things of cause and effect?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao spoke calmly.

Elder Chu's expression changed, and he dared not refute.

The Guardian was a figure of immense stature; even the methods of cultivating mortal scriptures and matters of cause and effect were only known to the Samsara Palace after her arrival.

She spoke... so how could anyone else have a say?

“The guardian is right.”

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder nodded and said, "Li Lan has already won a match and should receive the protective charm. The other four can continue their competition."

Upon hearing this, Qin Daocheng nearly vomited blood.

He was severely injured by Li Lan and is now greatly weakened in combat!

Even if others are defeated, he still has a chance to compete, but most others will not be injured as badly as he was.

Therefore, he is at the greatest disadvantage.

"Very well, I also want to see the power of the Mortal Scripture."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled and calmly sat down to one side, with the Grand Elder and the others having no choice but to sit beside her.

Elder Chu had no choice but to let everyone continue the competition.

The remaining few fought with considerable power, but they were nowhere near as formidable as Li Lan had been.

Very quickly, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Mother Snow Princess was defeated by Miao Wuyu, and in her final battle with Qin Daocheng, one of them was eliminated.

Although Xue Ji was defeated, she was not seriously injured. At this moment, she unleashed her power, causing Qin Daocheng to cry out in agony. Soon after, Qin Daocheng was severely injured and completely defeated.

The next battle will be for first place!

The first-place winner gets to choose the talisman first.

"I, Jin, am honored to learn from Fellow Daoist Li's superior skills."

Li Lan looked at Li Daozhi indifferently. Upon seeing this, Li Daozhi hesitated slightly, then suddenly shook his head and smiled, saying, "Never mind, Fellow Daoist Jin's cultivation is astonishing, you can choose first."

They've given up!

Miao Wuyu also said, "I am no match for Fellow Daoist Jin."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding elders were all surprised.

What's the situation?

Miao Wuyu, Li Daozhi, and others were all key talents they were cultivating. They could be considered the strongest among their generation, and having also cultivated the Mortal Scripture, they should have been invincible and able to sweep across the world.

But now, the two strongest players have actually admitted defeat?

The First Elder frowned and looked at Elder Chu.

Elder Chu was sweating profusely and could only lower his head and say, "Reporting to the Guardian, the Grand Elder, Jin Ruofeng... has already comprehended the two supreme laws of carefree wandering and impermanent caution."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder and the others all tensed up, utterly astonished.

"He comprehended supreme laws at the Wind Riding Realm... This child is extraordinary."

"No wonder he could crush ordinary cultivators... He truly deserves to be called an anomaly who has traversed the path of life and death!"

"This is absolutely unprecedented in the entire history of cultivation!"

They were all supreme beings, and the Grand Elder's cultivation had even surpassed that of a supreme being, making him a God Emperor. Therefore, they were all very clear about the significance of this achievement.

"Elder Chu, you no longer need to hold this position of elder!"

The First Elder spoke in a cold voice.

As the Grand Elder of the Samsara Palace, he may not have been involved in many things, but that doesn't mean he can be easily fooled.

He only glanced at it before realizing that Elder Chu was definitely acting out of personal favoritism and wanted to help Qin Daocheng!

If it were anything else, he would turn a blind eye and not interfere, but Li Lan was such a prodigy that even without cultivating the mortal scriptures, he would definitely leave an unforgettable mark on the history of cultivation.

Moreover, with the Guardian personally inquiring about this, how could the Samsara Palace not take a stand?

That's why it was so powerful, sweeping away an elder himself.

Upon hearing this, Elder Chu felt as if struck by lightning. His face turned pale, and he looked as if he had lost his parents. His body trembled slightly.

At that moment, he was filled with deep regret.

If he had known Li Lan would be so powerful, if he had known the Guardian would intervene... he would never have made things difficult for Li Lan!

No, it's not just about not daring to make things difficult; it's about cultivating good relationships with everyone!

"Chu..."

Elder Chu trembled, but the First Elder said coldly, "Guards, strip him of the Reincarnation Ring!"

The two law enforcement elders immediately stepped forward. Elder Chu dared not resist. Two reincarnation rings appeared on his body and then quickly disappeared!

—The cultivators of the Samsara Palace often crush those of the same realm in the Divine Realm. The reason for this is the "Samsara Ring" they obtained in the Samsara Palace.

The Reincarnation Ring is extremely precious. Apart from cultivators who directly pass through the Path of Life and Death, others can only slowly accumulate Reincarnation Qi and continuously refine it to obtain it. This process takes many years. Even Elder Chu, a illustrious God King, only has two of them!

Sensing the loss of the cycle of reincarnation, Elder Chu couldn't help but burst into tears!

"You may leave the Samsara Palace now."

The Grand Elder simply spoke indifferently.

Elder Chu struggled to his feet. He couldn't help but glance at Li Lan, his eyes filled with extreme resentment. However, he dared not utter any more harsh words and silently turned to leave.

"Furthermore, Jin Ruofeng is exceptionally talented, having already comprehended two supreme laws and possessing three reincarnation rings. From now on, he will be promoted to Elder of the Reincarnation Hall."

The elder then spoke.

Everyone was even more astonished.

Elder Chu's abuse of power and corruption led to his removal from the Reincarnation Ring and expulsion from the Reincarnation Palace, which is understandable. However, the Grand Elder's decision at this moment is unprecedented!

In the Samsara Palace, even a quasi-Supreme can only serve as a steward. Only a true Supreme being, who has also condensed a Samsara Ring, can be appointed as an Elder.

Six months ago, Li Lan was just a disciple; now, he has risen to the rank of elder!

This speed is amazing.

Li Daozhi was dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, Jin Ruofeng had already made him look up to him.

Lady Snow Princess, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Mother, looked terrified. She had previously mocked Li Lan!

If Li Lan wants revenge... her days in the Samsara Palace will probably not be easy.

Even Miao Wuyu had a complex look in her beautiful eyes.

Fortunately, she had gotten used to it; Li Lan's existence seemed to be born to defy common sense.

"Thank you, Elder."

Li Lan remained calm and spoke indifferently.

"Guardian, is this arrangement appropriate?"

The Grand Elder looked humbly at Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

"That's settled then. The four of you, come with me to see the Palace Master. The talisman is also in the Palace Master's hands."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled and stood up.

The others followed suit.

……

The group walked towards the deepest part of the Samsara Palace, passing through the Ten Great Halls, and finally stopped in front of a cliff.

On the cliff, an astonishing white light cascaded down like a waterfall, its brilliance so dazzling that it was almost blinding.

In the dim light, behind the hazy white light, there seemed to be a building, like a temple or palace, but it was not clear.

It was as if it were another world.

Ahead, in the dim light, stood four enormous stone tables, each holding four objects:

A blood-stained garment.

A broken sword.

Half a blood-red jade pendant.

A bronze mask.

Bloodstained clothes, a broken sword rusted, half a jade pendant with its patterns gone, and a bronze mask cold and lonely, yet possessing a strange aura, as if it were not an object of this world.

"These four items are all relics left behind by an unspeakable figure, and they are all extremely precious. Among them, the blood-stained robe can block all attacks in the world, the broken sword can destroy all living beings in the world, the blood-colored jade pendant can preserve the soul forever, and the bronze mask... its function is unknown."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao gave a brief introduction.

Everyone looked extremely solemn.

Li Daozhi couldn't help but ask, "Are these artifacts really that terrifying?"

There are countless divine weapons in this world, and many of them have various rumors and descriptions, but those are often exaggerated.

If someone else had said this, people would have just laughed it off, but since the Guardian said it... it's probably something truly extraordinary.

"If you can wear this blood-stained garment, even if the whole world joins forces, it will not be able to harm you in the slightest."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao responded calmly, then continued:

"If you wield that broken sword, let alone god emperors and god kings, a mere swing could reduce the entire universe, the divine realm, and the mortal world to nothingness; if you obtain that blood-red jade pendant, it will remain immortal despite the passage of time, and will not perish despite the erosion of time..."

Everyone gasped in shock!

If anyone else said that, they would probably be considered crazy.

Even the strongest armor in this world can be broken, and even the most powerful sword cannot contend with a god-emperor or god-king. What can resist the ravages of time? Even a god-emperor cannot claim immortality!

However, these words came from Shangguan Xiaoxiao's mouth.

Therefore, no one dared to doubt it!

But, does such a divine object really exist in this world?

Li Daozhi, Xue Ji, and the others were already breathing heavily!
