Chapter 250 The Soul of Resurrection
"Nuwa, Pangu? Who are these people? They sound somewhat familiar..."
Although his heart was filled with turmoil, Li Lan calmly asked the question.
"Nuwa and Pangu were the first powerful beings to emerge from the Primordial Emperor Star in ancient times. They once illuminated the heavens and were awe-inspiring throughout the ages. However, they both perished later. It wasn't until several thousand years ago that two figures, who were suspected to be their reincarnations, emerged from a certain underworld."
Xu Caiwei, with her cheerful and lively personality, patiently and tirelessly talked to Li Lan.
What is the Primordial Emperor Star?
"The Primordial Emperor Star... is a very powerful ancestral star for cultivation. Pangu, Nuwa, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Laozi, who is known as the Ancestor of Taoism, and the Buddha who founded the Buddhist sect... all these extremely powerful ancestral gods and immortals came from that ancestral star."
Xu Caiwei said, "However, that's all in the past. The ancestral gods and immortals who emerged from the Primordial Emperor Star have all perished in the starry sky. In recent years, the only ripple has been those two beings who are suspected to be Nuwa and Pangu. Later, there were rumors that someone was plotting to resurrect those beings..."
She spoke as if recounting an ancient story, her words calm and understated, but Li Lan was increasingly shocked, for it was now completely confirmed!
Pangu and Nuwa, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Laozi, the founder of Taoism, and Buddha... all of these are figures recorded in Chinese history.
However, when Li Lan was on Earth, the knowledge he learned from ancient texts revealed that Pangu and Nuwa were merely myths and legends, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were just tribal leaders from ancient times, and Laozi and Buddha were simply sages...
But in the vast world of cultivation, they are actually one real legend after another?
At this moment, countless questions arose in Li Lan's mind!
In the underworld, there were once two supreme beings, known as the Ancestor of Creation and the Goddess of Mending the Sky. Did these two later emerge from the underworld? What connection do they have with two figures from Earth's legends?
If what Xu Caiwei said is true, and someone is plotting to resurrect those who came from the Primordial Emperor Star but disappeared, then who is it?
Even... why did he travel from Earth to the underworld? Was it a deliberate arrangement by someone?
Having escaped the underworld and returned to the world of the living, Li Lan had a feeling... as if he had entered into a much larger scheme.
This situation has already spanned both the Yin and Yang realms, and may even be related to Li Lan's home planet—Earth!
"The Primordial Emperor Star was once so glorious, but what about now?" Li Lan asked.
"I don't know, we can't find it anymore. After a great battle in ancient times, the Primordial Emperor Star Ancestral God perished, and all the immortals died. Then the Primordial Emperor Star disappeared from the universe. No one can find the existence of that star. The generally accepted view is that the star has returned to ordinariness, its mythology has turned to dust, and it has been completely removed from the list of great stars of cultivation."
Li Lan remained silent for a long time. Is this really Earth?
If the mortal realm is indeed the universe where Earth is located, does this mean that one day he can go back?
While in the underworld, because he was in another world, Li Lan suppressed all his old emotions and memories, refusing to think about them or care about them. But now that he has returned, even after experiencing so much, a longing still wells up in his heart.
His parents, relatives, and friends on Earth...
Are they alright?
Are you still there?
He suddenly felt a strange sense of panic. So much time had passed in the underworld, and his parents, relatives, and friends, who were just mortals, had probably long since turned to dust!
"wrong!"
But then Li Lan suddenly remembered something and said, "You mean those two beings who resemble Pangu and Nuwa only emerged from the underworld thousands of years ago?"
“Yes,” Xu Caiwei said.
Li Lan was suddenly overjoyed.
In the underworld, the Creator of Heaven and the Goddess of Mending Heaven were figures from at least hundreds of thousands of years ago!
In other words, hundreds of thousands of years have passed in the underworld, while only a few thousand years have passed in the mortal world.
The flow of time in the two worlds seems to be different!
If that's the case, perhaps he still has a chance to return to Earth and see his old friends again...
But as soon as this thought arose, another hidden worry instantly surfaced in Li Lan's mind—
For every day he lingers in the mortal realm, he might spend months in the underworld...
The situation in the underworld is extremely dangerous right now!
The big black dog, the Ninth Emperor, and others were all defeated. Li Lan even threw away the reincarnation authority. Yang Yi is truly invincible in the world. He will obtain reincarnation and dominate the entire underworld!
The Origin Realm, the War Alliance, and even the Immortal Realm...
And Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Lin Ruobing, and the others...
Will they die because of this?!
The White Emperor has definitely entered the mortal realm. The Black Dog and the others have been defeated, and there is no one left to protect them in the Origin Realm!
"First, figure out what's going on in the underworld, find an opportunity to go back, resolve things there, and then return to the mortal realm!"
Li Lan was quite anxious!
It seems that the only hope to resolve the issue of Yang Yi, or even the so-called source of the underworld, lies in the mortal realm!
In the underworld, after Yang made his move and the big black dog and others were defeated, Li Lan no longer had room to grow, or even a fertile ground to survive!
"Once we return to Nantian Academy, we might be able to find a way to help you regain your memories."
Xu Caiwei looked at Li Lan with some sympathy.
Li Lan nodded, looking quite longing for it.
From his conversation with Xu Caiwei, Li Lan roughly understood that Nantian Academy was a sacred place for cultivation on Nanyao Star, gathering a large number of talented disciples and famous cultivation masters!
Li Lan has just arrived in the mortal realm and urgently needs a place like this to learn more about the mortal realm, Earth, and the so-called Primordial Emperor Star Ancestral God and the Immortals!
"Junior Sister!"
The two had just stepped out of the valley when several people rapidly approached from the front!
Two women and one man.
One of the women, dressed in a green dress, rushed over first and asked, "Caiwei, how did it go? Did you successfully guide your battle spirit? The people from Taihua Academy are coming soon, we have to leave quickly!"
Caiwei immediately became a little nervous and said, "Senior Sister, I succeeded... but some problems also arose."
She pointed at Li Lan and said, "I accidentally drew a human soul out of the underworld, and he became my master... my battle spirit!"
Upon hearing this, the woman was immediately taken aback and looked at Li Lan with considerable wariness!
"A human soul that has emerged from the underworld?"
The man and woman behind them also came up. The man in purple said coldly, "The Chaotic Spirit Mountain Range contains the underworld. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have gone missing here from various forces, but no one has ever come out of the underworld alive. Junior Sister Caiwei, don't be fooled by the ghosts!"
Xu Caiwei said, "I won't be fooled. I've already checked, and he is indeed a spirit from the mortal realm, not a ghost."
The girl next to the man in purple was also quite interested. She was wearing a long golden dress, with a white jade belt around her waist and a hairpin that shimmered in the light. She was adorned with jewels and suddenly took out a small mirror and looked at Li Lan.
The mirror was a magical artifact that could subdue evil spirits, but Li Lan remained completely unmoved.
"what you do?!"
Xu Caiwei couldn't help but feel annoyed. The other party had attacked Li Lan without her permission, which was too arrogant.
"It really is a spirit from the mortal realm, hahaha... Xu Caiwei, you traveled all this way and only found this one battle spirit? That's hilarious."
She seemed to find it all a joke, saying, "My grandma even said you had some talent, haha, a human soul as a battle spirit, unheard of! In my opinion, you can just admit defeat in the academy competition—"
Battle spirits typically seek out powerful enough ferocious beasts or other souls to compensate for a cultivator's own lack of combat strength; this is a tradition of the Southern Heaven Academy.
Human souls have never been able to serve as battle spirits because they possess their own consciousness and are far inferior to the spirits of battle beasts in terms of control and command. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, human souls are far less powerful than the spirits of battle beasts.
“Junior sister, I think this human soul comes from the underworld and has weak yang energy, which is the key to refining your Yang Soul Banner!”
The man in purple suddenly spoke up, offering a reminder.
Upon hearing this, the girl in the golden dress immediately realized what he meant and exclaimed, "That's right! As long as I refine the Yang Soul Banner, I'll definitely be number one in this competition!"
She immediately said, "Caiwei, give me this human soul! I'll find you a suitable battle spirit later!"
Caiwei shook her head and said, "No!"
"You're not going to give it to me?"
The girl in the gold dress frowned and said, "You dare refuse me?!"
She held a prominent position at Nantian Academy, and the disciples there always treated her with utmost deference!
The man in purple immediately said coldly, "Junior Sister Caiwei, let me examine you first to see if your human soul is truly safe!"
As he spoke, he prepared to make his move, wanting to take down the human soul for the girl in the golden dress!
Xu Caiwei's expression changed, but she stood in front of Li Lan, protecting him, and said, "You are not allowed to hurt him!"
The man in purple looked somewhat displeased and said, "Junior Sister Caiwei, why are you so nervous? It's just a human soul. It's been to the underworld, so we can just treat it as a ghost. What's the use of keeping it? A human soul is of little use as a battle spirit; it's a complete waste!"
"Furthermore, Junior Sister Luo Yu comes from a family of beast tamers. Don't forget, her grandmother is an elder of the academy! Are you worried that she won't be able to find a suitable battle spirit for you?"
His words carried a subtle threat.
"Senior Sister!"
Xu Caiwei turned to look at the woman in the green dress, whose brows were slightly furrowed.
Her name is Gu Xuan. She was admitted to the hospital earlier than everyone else, so she is the senior sister. However, she is now in a bit of a dilemma.
Although it's inappropriate for Xu Caiwei to keep Li Lan, if she insists, no one else has any reason to interfere, since Li Lan is just a human soul, not a ghost.
But now, Luo Yu has her eye on him!
Luo Yu is the granddaughter of Elder Luo of Nantian Academy. She is pampered in the academy and offending her is not good.
“Caiwei, Senior Brother Qin Lin and Junior Sister Luo Yu are right. Things from the underworld are sinister and terrifying. Even if this person was originally from the mortal world, after going to the underworld, no one knows what kind of changes he will undergo.”
She sighed, "You should hand him over to Junior Sister Luo Yu. She's doing this for your own good."
Seeing that even Senior Sister Gu Xuan said so, Xu Caiwei couldn't help but bite her lip and simply said:
"He is now my battle spirit, and no one can harm him!"
Gu Xuan frowned, unsure of what to do, while Qin Lin sneered, "Still saying it's not a ghostly object? Looks like you've been bewitched!"
"Such an evil creature, Junior Sister Luo Yu is willing to help you get rid of it, and instead of being grateful, you resist? Xu Caiwei, get out of the way!"
Xu Caiwei, however, refused to budge an inch!
Li Lan also felt a chill in his heart. The underworld and the mortal world, ghosts and living people, are all inseparable from the word "human nature"!
Luo Yu, spoiled and arrogant, took Xu Caiwei's things as if it were her right. Qin Lin, in order to please Luo Yu, was generous with other people's money and even made it sound righteous. Gu Xuan, though seemingly better, was actually a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong!
He was ready to take action and teach these people a lesson.
But suddenly, he realized something and stopped moving.
"Heh, so these are just four little brats from Nantian Academy. Men, seize them!"
An aged voice suddenly rang out!
A dozen or so people had appeared in the surrounding woods, all of them young men and women, with an old man leading the group!
They were all from another college—Taihua College!
Along the way, Li Lan had already heard Xu Caiwei say that Taihua Academy was the mortal enemy of Nantian Academy.
This time, both sides were searching for a treasure called "Spiritual Yin Crystal" within the "Chaotic Spirit Mountain Range." Along the way, Xu Caiwei and her group had already clashed with them multiple times.
Upon seeing them appear, Gu Xuan, Qin Lin, and the others' expressions changed drastically!
