Chapter 354 Nominal Disciple
"This is the Scripture Pavilion of the Heavenly Court, which contains many wonderful methods from ancient times to the present. You may read them at your leisure, my lord."
In the Heavenly Divine Court, within a grand pavilion, there are bookshelves crafted from exotic gold, protected by astonishing array formations. Ordinary people are simply not qualified to enter this place.
But with Princess Changming by his side, Li Lan had no trouble getting through.
"Thank you, Princess!"
Li Lan spoke.
"This is my personal token. If you have any questions, you can summon the elders of the Divine Court at any time. In addition, you can move freely within the Divine Court. The Divine Court will respond to any request you may have."
Princess Changming handed Li Lan a golden token.
That represents Princess Changming's power!
Li Lan did not reject her advances and accepted them.
Princess Changming left immediately, and Li Lan began to stroll freely.
The Divine Court's Scripture Pavilion has seven floors, each filled with numerous profound teachings and scriptures. Li Lan perused them one by one, not missing a single book.
After all, anything that the Divine Court would collect must be extraordinary and beneficial to his enlightenment.
He flipped through the pages very quickly, basically reading ten lines at a glance without stopping, which made an elder who was standing and waiting nearby frown slightly.
Before leaving, Princess Changming only instructed him to pay close attention to Li Lan's every move, including recording what scriptures and spells Li Lan was interested in, so that the Divine Court could analyze them. But now it seems...
Li Lan was just flipping through it casually!
It should be noted that any one of these books is a treasure. If placed in the outside world, even a master like a god would probably treat it with utmost respect, burning incense and bathing before cultivating it. But what about Li Lan now?
They have no idea what they're talking about...
He shook his head secretly, but did not interfere.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed!
In seven days, Li Lan read through all the ancient books in the Divine Court!
Li Lan only spent a little longer at the very top level, where some techniques obtained by the Heavenly Extreme Divine Court from the powerful Emperor Stars during the ancient war were recorded.
After reading everything, Li Lan had gained a lot and walked out of the Sutra Repository.
"The Golden Crow Clan has gone completely mad in these seven days."
Princess Changming walked over, smiled slightly, and handed the latest report to Li Lan.
The mysterious disappearance of the Carefree Marquis enraged the Golden Crow Clan, who issued a kill order.
This caused a huge uproar, but under the deliberate cover-up by the Divine Court, the Golden Crow Clan could not find any clues or leads.
Princess Changming was delighted with this outcome.
The more hostile Li Lan becomes to the Golden Crow clan, the better it is for the Divine Court.
"It's time to go back."
Li Lan smiled.
“My father is still in seclusion, but he instructed me that if the Marquis needs anything, the Divine Court can send three Divine Kings to escort the Marquis back.”
Princess Changming said.
But Li Lan shook his head and said, "There's no need to go to that trouble."
"Fine,"
Princess Changming smiled and said, "By the way, this is a gift that my father asked me to prepare for the Marquis. It is a supreme method that can lead to the attainment of the Dao Fruit of No Spirit. This item is also the only one of its kind in the Divine Court."
She took out a book, which was written entirely on silver paper, exuding an astonishing aura.
Li Lan was somewhat surprised; this was a very generous gift.
He couldn't help but marvel once again, "Is this the power of the Samsara Palace?"
The supreme method is the greatest treasure of all royal families. Ordinary people don't even have the chance to see it, let alone possess it.
Now, the Divine Court is giving it away for free.
Thank you.
Li Lan did not refuse.
"In addition, there are many spirit stones, forbidden qi, forbidden soil and other items, which the Divine Court will send over when the Marquis goes to Xiaoyao City."
Princess Changming smiled again.
It's safe to say I've thought of everything.
"Good work."
……
Li Lan immediately left the Divine Court.
"Please, both God-Kings, be ready at any time. If the Golden Crow Clan dares to attack the Carefree Marquis, intervene immediately."
Princess Changming spoke calmly.
……
The Unfallen City, inhabited by the Golden Crow Clan.
"Could he have simply vanished from the realm of gods?"
The Supreme Elder Jin Tianchi was furious.
So many days have passed, and the Golden Crow Clan has even issued a kill order and asked the God King to perform a divination.
However, they still couldn't find any trace of Jin Ruofeng.
Is this still available?
The key issue is that the "Mortal Scripture" that Jin Ruofeng possesses is something he promised to give to that person in the Samsara Palace. In a few days, the people from the Samsara Palace will come to escort Jin Zhennan. If he can't hand it over then, how will he explain it?
Once they offend that person, the Golden Crow Clan will truly be unable to bear the consequences!
"Hang up all his relatives and their families and execute them!"
Jin Tianchi was furious and said, "Kill one every day, until he appears!"
His men acted immediately, and before long, Jin Cheng, Jin Chengyun, and the others were all arrested.
"Your Majesty, the people from the Samsara Palace have arrived—"
At that moment, a cry of surprise rang out.
Upon hearing this, Jin Tianchi's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get here so quickly?"
"Quickly, go and invite the two God-Kings!"
When the messenger from the Temple of Reincarnation arrives, the God-King must personally receive him.
Not long after.
Yellow smoke filled the air as a middle-aged man dressed in yellow descended outside the Golden Crow Clan. He had a yin-yang symbol on his forehead and was followed by two children.
His aura was extremely powerful, reaching the quasi-supreme level!
"The Golden Crow Clan respectfully welcomes the envoy!"
The Supreme Elder Jin Tianchi stepped forward respectfully, followed by Jin Zhennan, Jin Ruohong, and others.
Meanwhile, the Burning Dao God King and the Shining Ancient God King of the Golden Crow Clan also came out together. The Shining Ancient God King had a full head of white hair, but after this period of nourishment, his spirit and energy looked much better.
The Burning Dao God King, in his prime, with a square face that exuded authority even without anger, smiled and said, "It's an honor to have Brother Jiuling come in person! The Golden Crow Clan is truly honored!"
"please!"
The guide, Jiuling, nodded slightly and followed them into the hall. The best tea and other delicacies of the Golden Crow Clan were served.
"Brother Jiuling, why is it earlier this year?"
Burning Dao God King smiled slightly.
He already knew that Jin Ruofeng had not yet been found, and the mortal scriptures were still nowhere to be found. Now that Jiu Ling had arrived ahead of schedule, the Golden Crow Clan was caught off guard.
"With an anomaly emerging, the palace naturally pays more attention to it."
Jiuling said, "According to the arrangements made by the hall, I should have gone to the Divine Court first to receive the disciple who had reached the third rank, but Elder Chu instructed me to come to the Golden Crow Clan first..."
His gaze swept over them and landed on Jin Zhennan. He said, "You are Jin Zhennan?"
Jin Zhennan stepped forward nervously and bowed, saying, "Zhennan greets the Receptionist!"
"Very good, very good..."
Jiuling nodded, then suddenly said, "Elder Chu said that the previous matters have been settled, but there are still some troubles after Jin Zhennan enters the Samsara Hall. After all, he has only stepped onto the first step, and if he wants to become a disciple, he will probably need to pull some strings..."
Burning Dao God King said, "Of course, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, Brother Nine Spirits!"
With a wave of his hand, several top-grade storage rings landed on the table next to Jiu Ling. Jiu Ling glanced at them, frowned slightly, and asked, "Where is the 'Mortal Scripture'?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in the Golden Crow Clan turned grim. Even the Burning Dao God King managed a weak smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Nine Spirits, rest assured, the Mortal Scripture is already in the hands of my Golden Crow Clan. It's just that Fellow Daoist Nine Spirits will need to wait a few more days within the clan..."
Jiu Ling narrowed her eyes slightly.
The members of the Golden Crow clan dared not utter a sound, each one cursing and swearing at Jin Ruofeng in their hearts...
"Your Majesty, God King, the Carefree Marquis... he has returned!"
At that moment, an urgent voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Jin Tianchi and the others all stood up abruptly.
"That wicked beast has finally shown up!"
A fierce glint flashed in Jin Tianchi's eyes, and his killing intent was barely contained.
Yaogu God King also breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiuling, please wait a moment. The Demon God Chiyou was killed by Jin Ruofeng of my clan, and the Mortal Scripture is also on his body."
"Now that he has returned, he can give the mortal scriptures to you today."
Jiuling snorted coldly, said nothing more, and waited silently.
"Quickly, bring that beast up here!"
Jin Tianchi shouted loudly.
Before long, a figure strolled over.
It was Li Lan!
"You bastard!!"
Jin Ruohong was the first to stand up. He glared at Li Lan with hatred and said, "Men, seize him! Chop off his hands and feet, and skin him alive!"
He truly hated it to the core, and even Jin Tianchi and the two God Kings were completely indifferent to it.
During the days that Li Lan disappeared, the entire Golden Crow clan was truly on tenterhooks.
Even the Burning Dao God King and the Shining Ancient God King, who, after becoming God Kings, could issue decrees with a single word and suppress their respective regions, have now been forced into such a sorry and angry state by Li Lan!
Several Golden Crow Clan members immediately stepped forward to capture Li Lan, but as soon as they got close, Li Lan made a move, unleashing pure Yang light that sent them flying.
"You audacious Jin Ruofeng, are you plotting a rebellion?!"
Jin Tianchi was furious!
Li Lan said calmly, "Elder, I don't understand how I committed such a serious crime, why a kill order was issued, and why I have become a traitor?"
Jin Tianchi shouted, "You still have the nerve to ask? The Mortal Scripture is the most precious treasure of my Golden Crow clan. You left with this treasure, what is this if not treason?"
Li Lan coldly said, "I personally killed the demon god Chi You, and I obtained the scriptures from him. I was only away for a few days, and my clan captured my relatives and friends, intending to exterminate them... Since that's the case, you say I betrayed the clan, then I have betrayed the clan, so what?"
Jin Tianchi was somewhat shocked. Had Jin Ruofeng gone mad?
How dare they be so bold?
"Jin Ruofeng, don't think that just because you've made some contributions, you can act recklessly. Hand over the Scripture of Mortals!"
The God-King Yaogu spoke in a deep voice.
Li Lan said calmly, "According to the Supreme Elder, I have already betrayed the Golden Crow Clan. If that's the case, what right does the Golden Crow Clan have to demand scriptures from me?"
Yaogu God King raised an eyebrow, his anger rising!
Jin Ruofeng, how dare you defy the God King?!
"This bastard deserves to die. Killing you today to cleanse the sect is the only right thing to do!"
Jin Tianchi was furious. He suddenly stood up and used his large hand to suppress Li Lan, which was already a killing move!
But Li Lan just looked at him calmly, without offering any resistance whatsoever!
"You brat, die!"
Jin Tianchi roared, his eyes contorted with rage, his divine power about to kill Li Lan on the spot.
But at this very moment—
boom!
A yellow light suddenly flashed, and Jin Tianchi's attack was instantly reversed.
"what?"
Jin Tianchi was taken aback. The aura rushed towards him, his chest trembled, and he instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. He staggered back and sat down on the ground with a thud, his face deathly pale.
Everyone in the arena was startled and turned their gazes to the guide, Jiu Ling!
Just now... it was he who struck, injuring Jin Tianchi and protecting Li Lan.
But why is that?
Even the God King Yaogu and the God King Randao were extremely surprised and puzzled!
But Jiu Ling's face was now extremely gloomy, and he said in a deep voice:
"Dare to attack a disciple of my Samsara Palace? Do you want to die?!"
These words stunned the entire audience!
