Chapter 501 Closed-Door Disciple
Everyone was puzzled, but they all knew that the change in the formation must be related to Brother Li Lan in the center of the formation.
Even though the formation had weakened considerably, they still couldn't get into the center of it; the immense pressure there was too much for them to bear.
Soon, two hours had passed.
Li Lan had been cultivating here with his eyes closed for two hours. He felt that the destructive energy gathered by this great formation had been completely absorbed by him.
Although it is still far from being comparable to his own control over spatial power, he is already very satisfied with what he has gained in such a short period of time.
Just then, an old voice suddenly rang in Li Lan's mind.
"Young friend Li Lan, with such a powerful physical body, you shouldn't cultivate with a bunch of little guys."
"If you continue to cultivate, I'm afraid this great formation will no longer be of any use to the disciples of my Heavenly Bull Sect."
Upon hearing this, Li Lan gave an awkward smile and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, saying:
"Excuse me, senior, I'll be leaving now."
Li Lan was so engrossed in his cultivation that he forgot about the great formation.
Only after the old man's reminder did Li Lan realize that the once-normal array was now seemingly powerless, with no divine power surging out anymore.
Amidst the shocked gazes of the Tianniu Sect disciples, Li Lan finally left, no longer watching their cultivation.
After this trial, he felt that his physical body might have reached the realm of gods.
It seems that people still know too little about the Void Beasts. Even some of the divine beasts among the ten ancient divine races probably cannot compare with the physical bodies of the Void Beasts.
Even without inheriting the divine essence of that Void Beast, it's already quite remarkable that one could obtain such powerful spatial rules and such a strong physical body.
A few days later, the elders of the Tianniu Sect finally sent someone to deliver a message to Li Lan, telling him to prepare himself, as they would tell him the secret to becoming a god the next morning.
That day, Li Lan did not continue cultivating, but instead adjusted his state to its peak.
The next morning, led by a disciple of the Tianniu Sect, Li Lan met with the elders of the Tianniu Sect again.
However, this time it wasn't in the ancestral land of the Tianniu Sect, but in a bamboo forest behind the Tianniu Sect.
At this moment, only one person was waiting in the bamboo forest, the elder with the highest cultivation among the five clan elders.
The old man was sitting at a stone table in the bamboo forest. When he saw Li Lan appear, he immediately smiled and invited him to sit down.
After sitting down, the old man slowly said:
"Young friend Li Lan, do you know who you will be facing later?"
Li Lan looked puzzled and asked:
"Senior, weren't you the one who came to tell me about the method to become a god?"
The old man smiled and shook his head, then looked at the bamboo grove in front of him.
"Aspiring to become a god is no easy feat, and I, a mere lower-level god, am not qualified to teach you."
Upon hearing this, Li Lan was suddenly startled.
The old man in front of me should be the most powerful cultivator in the Heavenly Bull Sect, but even he is only a lower god?
What kind of divine power do the middle-level gods, the upper-level gods, and even the supreme gods of the highest realm possess?
At this moment, the old man's expression suddenly became serious, and he continued:
"You are about to face an ancestor of my Tianniu Sect."
"His cultivation level back then was probably second only to one person even in the entire Heavenly Realm."
hiss~
A look of shock flashed in Li Lan's eyes.
Under One Person?
The highest level of cultivation in the Azure Heaven Realm is the Supreme God of this realm. Could it be that there is also a Supreme God in the Heavenly Bull Sect?
But if that's the case, the strength of the Heavenly Bull Sect shouldn't be like this!
The old man in front of him noticed the doubt in Li Lan's heart, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
"Sigh, what's the use of having a high level of cultivation?"
"Young friend Li Lan, once you enter the inner circle, you will understand what kind of person he truly is."
After saying that, the old man waved his hand, and a huge stone gate suddenly appeared out of thin air in the bamboo forest in front of him.
Upon seeing this, Li Lan frowned slightly.
How could there be a hidden space here, and why didn't even he discover it?
Li Lan could clearly sense the powerful spatial force emanating from the stone gate.
Even with Li Lan's powerful control over the rules of space, he couldn't detect the existence of this stone door. This shows that the space where the stone door is located must have been created by a god with extremely powerful cultivation.
At the very least, he must have far surpassed the old man in front of him.
Could it be true, as he said, that there really is a supreme god here?
Li Lan did not believe this possibility, after all, he knew that in the four heavens, there was only one supreme god in each world.
For some reason, this seems to be the rule of the Four Heavens World, and it is known to every cultivator.
“Young friend Li Lan, I know you must have many questions in your mind right now, but once you see my ancestor from the Heavenly Bull Sect with your own eyes, you should understand them all.”
The old man gestured for him to proceed.
Li Lan slowly got up and walked to the front of the stone gate.
He took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the stone door in front of him.
Since arriving in this Four Heavens World from the Boundless Realm, Li Lan has never been afraid of anything.
Even when facing the supreme deity of Mahakala, Mahakala, he showed no sign of panic.
But now, Li Lan is a little worried.
Knowing that the seniors of the Heavenly Bull Sect would not harbor any ill will towards him, Li Lan suppressed his worries and entered the stone gate.
As soon as Li Lan entered the stone gate, he felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
The world inside the stone gate was extremely familiar to Li Lan, as it was remarkably similar to the deep void where he had spent ten years.
In the depths of this endless void, a stone island floats in the air, which is the only structure in this world.
Li Lan looked up and simultaneously used his powerful divine energy to sense the situation on the stone island.
Soon, he spotted someone.
A mortal with no divine power fluctuations?
Li Lan found it hard to believe.
But when Li Lan tried to sense the past again, he still only found this one person.
"Could he be the ancestor of the Heavenly Bull Sect?"
Li Lan hesitated for a moment, then leaped up and quickly appeared on the stone island.
This place is exactly the same as the divine island he once stayed on; it must also be a divine island floating in the void.
Similarly, this divine island also showed no signs of divine power fluctuations, except for a middle-aged man not far away.
Li Lan saw that the middle-aged man had a kind face but empty eyes, and was wearing tattered clothes as he walked slowly on the stone island.
Is he really the ancestor of the Heavenly Bull Sect?
Li Lan stood not far away, quietly watching the man's movements.
It was nearly dusk on the island, so the man swung his axe and chopped at the wood.
Not far from him, a small wooden house was built, with wisps of smoke rising from it, as if he were preparing dinner for the evening.
Soon, the man also noticed Li Lan not far away and waved to him.
"Hey, are you a junior from the Heavenly Bull Sect?"
Filled with countless doubts, Li Lan arrived at the person's side in an instant.
"Senior, may I ask if you are the patriarch of the Heavenly Bull Sect?"
Li Lan clasped his hands in greeting and asked, while simultaneously scrutinizing the person in front of him.
However, no matter how he tried to investigate, he could not sense any divine power from the person in front of him.
This person seems to really be just an ordinary person.
The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Hey, what ancestor or not, I was just born a little earlier."
"And look at me now, do I look like one of the patriarchs of those sects?"
After saying that, the man couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, and then continued chopping wood.
Seeing this, Li Lan could only put aside her doubts for the time being.
Afterwards, Li Lan helped the man chop some firewood and carried it to the eaves of the wooden house.
During this process, he did not use any divine power either, but his powerful physique still allowed Li Lan to move much faster than the man.
After the man finished preparing dinner, he invited Li Lan to dine with him.
Li Lan naturally did not refuse; he wanted to get more information from this man.
After the meal, the two sat under the eaves of the wooden house and chatted.
At first, we talked about some ordinary things, such as cooking skills, farming experience, and so on—all things that are common to ordinary people.
Li Lan felt a little bored, but the man in front of her seemed to be enjoying himself immensely.
After chatting for a while, Li Lan learned that his surname was Shen and his given name was Cang Sheng, which was not an ordinary name.
From his words, we also learned that Shen Cangsheng seemed to have lived here since he was a child.
When he was young, disciples of the Heavenly Bull Sect took care of him. But after he became able to support himself, very few people came here anymore.
Seeing that Li Lan was able to talk to him, Shen Cangsheng was very happy.
At this point, Li Lan was starting to get a little bored, so she took the initiative to ask:
"Senior Shen, I have come here to seek the method to ascend to godhood. I wonder if you could tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Cangsheng burst into laughter and then said:
"Hehe, how could someone like me possibly know anything about gods? I think you've come to the wrong person, young friend."
Li Lan felt a little strange, but he was very calm and composed. He believed that if he stayed here, he would definitely be able to find some clues.
So Li Lan asked Shen Cangsheng for a room, saying she would stay with him for a few days.
Shen Cangsheng was delighted; it felt good to have someone to talk to, so he invited Li Lan to stay.
This stay lasted for seven days.
Over the course of seven days, Li Lan gradually got to know Shen Cangsheng and discovered that he was just an honest, ordinary person.
During these seven days, Li Lan would wander around the divine island whenever he had free time, discovering many traces that seemed impossible for ordinary people to destroy.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it might have been done by a disciple of the Heavenly Bull Sect.
It's normal that Shen Cangsheng didn't know about the signs of destruction, after all, he was just an ordinary person.
Even if he discovered the affairs of cultivators, he would probably find it difficult to understand.
That afternoon, Li Lan finally noticed something was wrong.
Just as he and Shen Cangsheng were farming, Shen Cangsheng suddenly felt dizzy.
Left with no other choice, Li Lan took him back to the cabin and examined his physical condition.
However, after some investigation, Li Lan found no abnormalities in his body.
On the contrary, Li Lan was surprised to find that Shen Cangsheng's body was extremely robust, almost stronger than some people who had just started cultivating Taoism.
