Chapter 466 The Evil Furnace Descends from the Sky
soon.
The immense surge of Li Lan's breakthrough gradually came to an end, and under the watchful eyes of the entire Dark River, he successfully entered the "Supreme" realm.
Of course, all of this was just a facade he created.
As the creator of the Dao, and having already broken through the boundaries of existence and non-existence, transcending cause and effect, this was truly not difficult for him.
However, when he opened his eyes, a hint of doubt still flashed through his mind.
He had heard the Old Ancestor of the Underworld Moon say that there was a Primordial Origin Crystal inside the Dark Nether River, which was extremely precious.
The reason he deliberately acted differently as soon as he left the mountain, going directly to everyone to show his strength, was to get An Youhe to push him up as a candidate to become the Medicine Envoy.
After all, this was the best way to deceive everyone and have a suitable reason to approach Gu Tingyi.
If the elders of the Dark River also decide to choose Li Lan, they will definitely give him the Primordial Origin Crystal to help him break through the barrier.
But not now.
This means that he was not considered the best option by Dark River.
It seems something unexpected must have happened.
However, Li Lan didn't really care. For him, having the Primordial Origin Crystal was better, but not having it was fine.
Even if the Dark River doesn't choose him, he can take the initiative to seize the opportunity to become a Medicine Envoy. In any case, as long as he has the identity of a member of the Dark River clan, that's enough.
Emerging from seclusion.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on making another progress! With such talent, you will surely bring glory to my Dark River in the future!"
The Grand Elder arrived with several core elders to offer their congratulations.
"From this day forward, Fellow Daoist Xuanyi will be one of the elders of my Dark River Sect!"
The Grand Elder made the announcement directly.
Such honor is truly a great honor. It should be noted that in the Other Shore, although the Supreme One is considered a strong person, he is far from being a top expert. There are three major steps above him: Heaven-level, Dao Creation, and the End of the Road. Above the End of the Road, there are even those who have attained enlightenment.
Those who are considered to be of the highest rank can at most become middle-level members of certain sects.
Li Lan was able to directly obtain the status of an elder entirely because of his potential!
Upon hearing this, Li Lan instantly understood the thoughts of the Grand Elder and the others.
This is to tie him up!
By choosing others to become medicine envoys and leaving the peerless genius Xuan Yi behind, An Youhe gained a background with the furnace master Gu Tingyi, and a true powerhouse was also stationed within the sect.
That's a clever plan.
Li Lan remained calm and said, "In that case, thank you all."
He also bowed.
"I have already instructed everyone to prepare a banquet today to celebrate Fellow Daoist Xuanyi. Elder Xuanyi, please—"
The elder spoke with a smile.
Li Lan understood that everything they were doing now was merely a form of compensation, to prevent Li Lan from becoming estranged from the Dark River after learning the truth.
That night.
The Dark River was bustling with activity.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, countless people stepped forward to offer toasts, hoping to befriend this newly rich man.
Even A-Ling, who had previously been treated as an outsider or even a servant, dressed in a gorgeous gown and came to the banquet today.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
It's only been a few days, and this senior who crawled out of his grave already has such a status in the Dark River?
This left her somewhat dazed.
Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from a certain direction of the Dark River, and strange source energy surged, which everyone could feel.
They all turned their heads and looked over.
"This is... the aura of the Primordial Origin Crystal?"
"Has someone used the Primordial Origin Crystal for cultivation? It seems that the candidate for our clan's Medicine Master has been decided."
"It's the Palace of the Demon Mother! It seems it's Luo Lianyu, the body of the Demon Mother. She is indeed very suitable!"
In an instant, many people spoke up.
The selection of the medicine envoy had already been known to everyone in the Dark River. Now that Luo Lianyu, the body of the Ghost Mother, has obtained the Primordial Origin Crystal, it is tantamount to an announcement!
However, upon seeing this, the Grand Elder and the others couldn't help but frown.
--The reason they treated Li Lan so well was to mend their relationship with her and allow her to work for the Dark River with peace of mind.
However, on Li Lan's day of celebration, Luo Lianyu deliberately used the Primordial Origin Crystal, which was practically announcing to the world and was tantamount to a demonstration against Li Lan.
They were all somewhat displeased. Even though Luo Lianyu had been chosen as the Medicine Envoy, this was still a bit too disrespectful.
"I never imagined that there would be such a divine object in the Dark River."
Li Lan smiled calmly; he had completely understood.
He just didn't expect that his "competitor" would actually be Luo Changsheng's daughter, Luo Lianyu.
This can be considered... a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know, but Luo Lianyu is the mother of the demons. If she obtains this item, it could give birth to many geniuses for our Dark River... Haha, come, Elder Xuanyi, let's have a drink!"
The elder laughed it off and let it go.
Li Lan didn't ask any further questions.
……
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
This day.
"All elders, assemble immediately to welcome the special envoy!"
When the message from the Grand Elder spread, all the high-ranking members of the Dark River all came out and stood respectfully at the main gate, waiting.
After a very long time, a small boat finally emerged from the depths of the mist. The boat was made of white jade leaves and looked mysterious and grand.
On the small boat were a man and a woman, both dressed in white, with no trace of strange life or indescribable presence. The man was extremely handsome, and the woman was graceful and elegant.
"Senior Sister Yuenu, this is the Dark Nether River."
Upon arriving at this place, the man smiled slightly.
The woman was none other than Yue Nu, who had parted ways with Li Lan some time ago!
She has now arrived at the Dark River.
"Greetings, Special Envoy Xinghan!"
Upon seeing their arrival, the Grand Elder immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply.
The man's name was Xinghan, and he had already been to the Dark River once.
"It is an honor for An Youhe to have two special envoys here. We have prepared a banquet, please take your seats..."
The Grand Elder spoke almost obsequiously, but Xing Han merely waved his hand and said:
"There's no need for a banquet; we're not used to the bitter wine here. Have you prepared everything I asked you to?"
The Grand Elder said, "Reporting to the Special Envoy, we have selected the most suitable candidate!"
After saying that, he turned around and said, "Miss Lianyu—"
Immediately, Luo Lianyu stepped out from the crowd, wearing a cloak that covered her entire body, revealing only her face.
Her face was covered with many silver spots, clearly indicating that after entering the Dark River, she had strayed further and further down the evil path and was beginning to experience indescribable changes.
"That's her?"
Xing Han examined her closely and said, "Is this the strongest seed you've chosen?"
The Grand Elder nodded and said, "Reporting to the Special Envoy, this woman possesses the physique of the Mysterious Mother, and her cultivation has already reached the Heavenly Realm. Her aptitude and potential are second to none in the Dark Nether River."
Xinghan was also somewhat surprised: "The Mother of the Strange?"
He couldn't help but glance at Luo Lianyu a few more times; clearly, he was also aware of the special nature of this physique.
"Very well, let her come back with us first. Whether she becomes a medicine envoy still needs further competition."
In their search for a suitable candidate, they approached several powerful organizations, but no decision has been made yet.
The Grand Elder nodded, confident in Luo Lianyu's competitiveness.
"Wait a minute,"
But at this moment, Yue Nu, who was next to Xing Han, suddenly spoke up and said, "Elder, are you sure that she is the one with the strongest potential?"
"Do you know that we are selecting medicine slaves for the sake of the furnace master's important affairs? If any of you dare to show favoritism and fail to report this, you will be sentenced to death!"
Her words were cold.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder was taken aback and felt a chill run down his spine.
Could it be that this special envoy knows something mysterious?
That's impossible. In the entire Dark River, only he could contact the special envoy. Even if others knew of the existence of the Mysterious One, they wouldn't be able to inform him.
How did the other party get the information?
Just as he was feeling uneasy, Yue Nu calmly glanced at the crowd and said, "This person's strange aura is so strong, and his Dao is clearly different from ordinary people. His talent is probably no worse than that of the Mother of Eeries, right?"
She was referring to Li Lan!
Upon hearing this, the First Elder and the others' expressions changed.
They didn't expect that Li Lan's mere presence would attract the special envoy's attention.
For a moment, the elder and the others were filled with regret. If they had known this would happen, they shouldn't have let Li Lan come. They should have just found an excuse to send him away first.
Luo Lianyu, who was originally full of pride, frowned instantly. Was she going to cause some more trouble?
Who is this person?
Xinghan immediately turned to the Grand Elder and asked a question.
The Grand Elder broke out in a cold sweat, but now that things had come to this, how could he hide it? He could only say, "Reporting to the two special envoys, he is an elder of my Dark River."
Yue Nu immediately said coldly, "A mere Supreme Being can become an elder of your Dark River? Elder, I think you'd better explain yourself more clearly. Is this inconsistency really an attempt to deceive us?"
Xinghan immediately understood the anomaly and looked coldly at the Grand Elder.
He didn't care who the candidate for medicine envoy was, but the fact that the Grand Elder dared to play tricks on him naturally displeased him!
The Grand Elder panicked immediately and dared not conceal anything any longer. He hurriedly said, "The two special envoys are unaware that Fellow Daoist Xuanyi awakened from the back mountain of my Dark Nether River a few days ago. In his previous life, he was a peerless master of the Dark Nether River..."
He recounted Li Lan's situation in detail.
"Born with knowledge, from the moment of revival, one's cultivation level is already near supreme?"
Upon hearing this, Xinghan was somewhat surprised.
He had seen countless masters on the other side, but such a stunning example was unprecedented.
Moreover, the fluctuations that occurred when Li Lan attained the highest level of enlightenment were enough to prove his talent.
“You two special envoys, Fellow Daoist Xuanyi is indeed extremely talented. However, after discussing with several elders, we still feel that the Mother of Mysteries is stronger and can better serve the Furnace Master. Choosing Miss Luo Lianyu is truly without any selfish motives!”
The elder explained.
“We serve the furnace master, so we must do our best. This person’s talent and cultivation are so strong, he may not be weaker than the body of the Ghost Mother. How about this, let the two of them fight, and the winner will come with us.”
Yue Nu spoke directly.
Xinghan nodded as well.
The Grand Elder's face was extremely grim.
Their well-thought-out plan has been completely ruined by this...
If Luo Lianyu wins, Li Lan will likely become estranged from An Youhe after his defeat, and they will break off all ties.
