Volume 1, Chapter 300 – Tianhuo Immortal Dynasty

Since she was going to change Ning An’s fate, Shi Lan naturally had to deal with every possible accident that might arise.

Although this treasure key was already completely useless to her, in the eyes of the people of this world, it was still a supreme treasure, and it would bring enormous trouble to that county town.

The best way to resolve that trouble was undoubtedly to divert the disaster elsewhere, and the Wuji Sect was the best choice.

Shi Lan stepped into the manor. The guards at the entrance did not react in the slightest, completely unaware of her existence.

Everything within the manor was laid bare beneath Shi Lan’s soul perception.

Shi Lan slowly walked to the door of a study and pushed it open directly.

A white-haired old man sat behind a desk, intently reading an ancient Daoist text. It was Luo Jin, the current Sect Master of the Wuji Sect.

Hearing the sound, Luo Jin looked up. The moment he saw who was standing before him, he froze.

The figure before him had a face blurred beyond recognition, shrouded in a thin mist. Her striking snow-white hair hung down to her waist, as though silver-white divine radiance flowed through it.

“May I ask who Your Excellency is…?”

Luo Jin rose to his feet. A long-absent sense of restraint surfaced in his heart. There was more than one Martial Grandmaster of the Blood Transformation Realm within the manor, yet this person had entered soundlessly and without a trace. That was enough to show just how terrifying her strength was.

Shi Lan did not speak. She took out a handwritten sword manual from her Qiankun Bracelet and offered it together with the treasure key.

This handwritten sword manual was something she had casually copied from memory during her leisure time in Lingyang Realm. At that time, her memory of the Guiyun Sword Emperor had not yet become as blurred as it was now, and a few traces still remained. As a result, this sword manual naturally carried a sliver of Martial Dao true intent.

That trace of Martial Dao true intent, left behind by a Sword Emperor, was enough to benefit most who sought the sword path.

Although Luo Jin had once stood against her, the act of gifting her his sword before death had also counted as helping her.

In Shi Lan’s eyes, among everyone she had seen in this world, Luo Jin was the only one who could be considered a qualified seeker of the martial path. Although this trip was indeed meant to shift trouble onto him, she also truly intended to point out a path forward for him.

Now that everything in this world had been swept away and reset, this could also count as settling one karmic tie.

Luo Jin accepted the sword manual. After only a single glance downward, his entire mind was seized by it.

A long while later, when he finally came back to himself, the person before him had already vanished without a trace.

While he was still stunned, a stream of information poured into his mind.

After digesting that information, Luo Jin tightened his grip on the sword manual, immediately rose, and made several phone calls.

With Shi Lan’s current soul power, leaving a psychological suggestion in Luo Jin’s mind was a very simple matter.

…

Shi Lan slowly walked out of the manor, carefully savoring the insights brought by the world core.

The sensation of controlling an entire world was profoundly mysterious. This was something one would only feel after reaching at least the Heaven-Man Realm.

At this moment, Shi Lan had already touched upon the “Dao” ahead of time. And beyond that ineffable Dao resonance, there was also an extremely special force that, at Shi Lan’s current realm, was still difficult for her to understand.

What left Shi Lan somewhat regretful was that this world was incomplete. It had defects.

…

Not long afterward, Shi Lan returned to that county town. After leaving a thread of divine sense on Ning An, she went to take a look at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was just as he had been before. Nothing had changed. Now that the world core had fused with her, whether Lin Mo would enter reincarnation again in another life remained a question mark.

After likewise leaving a thread of divine sense on Lin Mo, Shi Lan left the county town and traveled the world.

Deep mountains, snowy forests, vast deserts, and great oceans all bore her footprints.

Shi Lan was naturally not wandering aimlessly. The ruins in this world were far from limited to that one place.

Most such small worlds had evolved from fragments of higher worlds. She was searching these ruins because she wanted to uncover some clues.

After three months, she finally found something. Within a set of ancient ruins deep beneath the ocean, Shi Lan discovered the remains of an immortal dynasty.

These ruins of the immortal dynasty were hidden within a spatial rift. Had Shi Lan not already completely fused with the world core, she might well have missed them.

These ruins were even somewhat larger than the world outside, stretching over hundreds of thousands of li. Everywhere she looked there was desolate ruin, with shattered palaces and collapsed halls, clearly the remnants of some world-shaking battle.

Many ancient corpses still remained there. After who knew how many tens of thousands of years, their bodies had not decayed, and their bones were still crystalline like jade. That was enough to show how terrifying their strength must have been in life.

Within those great swathes of bloodstains, Shi Lan could even sense the might of a Supreme. An Emperor had once bled here, though the years had been too long, and all spirituality had already vanished.

Shi Lan did not find any valuable spiritual medicine or immortal treasures in these ruins. Without the nourishment of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, this place could no longer sustain such spiritual objects.

From some damaged texts, Shi Lan gained a certain understanding of this world.

“Tianhuo Immortal Dynasty…”

This had once been the master of these ruins.

Before the world was shattered, this had been a major world known as Qinghong Realm. Its path was different from that of Lingyang Realm. What it cultivated was not the martial path, but the immortal path.

It followed the road of refining qi into spirit and forming the core to give birth to the nascent infant, valuing the fleshly body lightly while placing greater weight on magical power and the primordial spirit.

The records in the texts were incomplete. Most were anecdotes and accounts of some blessed lands and grotto-heavens of Qinghong Realm.

After searching the entire ruin, Shi Lan’s sole gain was an unnamed ancient scripture, which recorded methods of immortal Dao qi refinement. Shi Lan could not determine its exact rank, but it included a method for becoming an immortal and was quite extraordinary.

As far as cultivation methods went, Shi Lan already possessed the Yuqing Creation Art and did not lack for anything, but this scripture was another path entirely and was worth studying as a reference.

…

Shi Lan did not remain in those ruins for long. After confirming that nothing had been overlooked, she left.

During the months she spent hidden away, the outside world had likewise undergone earthshaking changes.

The first was Luo Jin, Sect Master of the Wuji Sect, who broke through the Blood Transformation Realm and stepped into an unheard-of realm, stunning the world.

Immediately afterward, the Wuji Sect proclaimed to the world that it had obtained the treasure key.

Then Luo Jin, now with a full head of black hair and looking no more than forty, opened that treasure site in full view of the world.

For a time, the Wuji Sect became the target of all and the center of the entire world.

Countless martial artists came one after another, and there was no lack of Martial Grandmasters among them. They exhausted every possible method, but all failed.

After Luo Jin used the Meteorfall Sword to split apart a cruise missile and walked out of the fiery explosion completely unharmed, no one dared come and make trouble again.

If even a cruise missile was useless, then the only method left was an ultimate weapon, but the price would be too great, especially near a city, where the consequences would be unbearable.

Faintly, the Wuji Sect already had the bearing of the foremost power of the martial world, and Luo Jin was on the verge of firmly taking the seat of number one under heaven.

Luo Jin, having regained his youth, recovered his heroic ambition and once again devoted his energies to every matter large and small within the sect. He rectified the sect’s conduct and cleaned out large numbers of disciples of mixed quality.

All of these things, down to every detail, appeared within Shi Lan’s mind.

At this point, things could at least be said to have reached a barely acceptable ending.

Shi Lan raised her head and looked at the sky. Overhead, the blazing sun hung high, but it was not a true star, merely an illusion projected by a formation.

After all, this was only a somewhat incomplete small world.

It was time for her to leave as well…
