Chapter 240 Reincarnation in the Old Ground
"Coming."
Darkness enveloped everything before them. Neither divine sense nor supernatural abilities could perceive anything around them. Even though the members of the Alien Alliance were prepared for this, they were still filled with unease.
Cultivators who can fly and escape into the earth become like blind mortals when they arrive here.
The First Elder, Yi Qing, slowly stopped, standing outside the blurry black building outline. He bowed and said, "Your subordinate, Yi Qing, has completed the refining of the Gray Mist Authority as instructed by the Alliance Leader. I have come to pay my respects to the Alliance Leader!"
The sound echoed through the River of Ten Thousand Corpses.
A sound like a huge stone rolling came from afar. In the blurry black building ahead, two large doors seemed to be slowly opening. A glimmer of light shone through them, and one could vaguely see that it was a corridor made up of long steps, but it was unknown where it led.
"Holy Maiden, please, the Alliance Master wishes to see you!"
Yi Qing looked at Qing Yan, smiled slightly, and said, "This is an immense opportunity!"
Qingyan nodded, did not refuse, and slowly stepped inside.
"We will take our leave first—"
Yi Qing bowed again and then left. Staying in such a place could easily affect their strange origins, so he did not want to linger.
Qingyan walked in. When she stepped into this place, it was as if she had entered the edge of the world, and the distance from the Origin Realm seemed to be getting farther and farther away!
Her gaze swept across the room, and she saw stone chambers on both sides of the passageway, with ancient characters written above the entrances: Wheel of Reincarnation, Qin Guang, Chu River, Yama, and so on.
The author of those words is unknown, but they give people a feeling that they transcend the passage of time, as if they are immortal!
She couldn't help but feel a little alarmed. What exactly was this place?
Could it be that King Qin Guang, King Lun Zhuan, and others are buried here?
However, the passageway was not long and soon came to an end. In front of it was another huge stone gate, which was unlocked and contained only a stone carving of a human figure sitting cross-legged.
"Come in,"
The sound came from a stone chamber to the right of the stone door.
The word "rotation" is written on it!
The door to the stone chamber was also ajar. Qingyan stepped inside, and there was only a stone coffin inside!
"Very good, you have successfully forged the Gray Mist Authority!"
From within the stone coffin, the voice was filled with excitement, saying, "From this day forward, I will take you as my disciple and bestow upon you unparalleled opportunities!"
Do you know what place this is?
Light smoke shook her head.
“In the past, when the original Lord of Reincarnation created Reincarnation, he placed the Ten Kings of Hell in this place to nurture them, so that they could wield some of the power of Reincarnation and thus enter the cycle of reincarnation!”
The voice said, "Now, all of this belongs to you and me, master and disciple!"
"We will regain control of reincarnation, we will attain eternity... Come, come..."
The sound seemed to possess some kind of magic, causing Qingyan to momentarily lose her focus. The coffin slowly opened a crack, and a gray hand reached out to grab Qingyan. However, yellow smoke continuously filled the coffin, binding the gray hand like chains, preventing it from escaping.
Then the voice became more urgent: "Come here quickly, come here quickly..."
This was an extremely sophisticated method of soul-capturing. Light smoke approached step by step, and was already at the side of the coffin.
That gray hand finally grabbed the wisp of smoke!
"Hahahaha... Now that I have authority, I can leave!"
A gray fog billowed out, enveloping the wispy smoke!
"Damn coffin! That person has already disappeared, yet a trace of reincarnation power remains... But now, I will break out of the coffin and obtain reincarnation!"
He barked a vicious snarl, about to seize Qingyan's body!
But at that very moment, a flash of clarity suddenly appeared in Qingyan's empty eyes. She actually locked the other party in her hand, unleashing her cultivation and continuously channeling her soul power to fight against the entity in the coffin!
"What?! The Heaven-Mending Technique?!"
The being inside the coffin was shocked. "The Goddess of Mending the Heavens has vanished. Who in the world could still possess such a method of mending the heavens? Impossible..."
"No, how can your soul be perfect? You...you are a perfect being created by the goddess herself?!"
He finally figured out where the light smoke came from, and for a moment, he was shocked.
"Weren't you completely annihilated before the dam? How could you be reborn? How could this be..."
The voice carried a hint of fear: "Yes, you stole the power that belonged to me, so you regained your sanity. You deserve to die!"
This being was furious to the extreme, and then he discovered that although Qingyan's Heaven-Mending Technique was perfect, her cultivation level was still not high enough!
"You haven't grown up yet; you've only recently awakened!"
As if he had discovered something extraordinary, his initial shock and anger instantly turned into delight.
"Hahaha, a perfect cultivator! By taking you, I can surpass your talent and reach an even higher level. Heaven is on my side!"
No matter how strong Qingyan was in her previous life, she has not fully recovered yet and is far from being his match.
Given enough time, he will surely be able to destroy Qingyan's soul and take control of her body and authority.
"Is that so?"
But at that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the stone gate!
A man slowly walked in.
The gray mist within the coffin was immediately apparent. A pair of gray eyes swept over it, and they were utterly shocked. "What? How did you get out?!" they exclaimed.
"Weren't you already trapped in my great formation?!"
This person was none other than Li Lan!
He arrived unharmed and calmly said, "You can't even get out, yet you're so confident in your great formation?"
"Don't you think that's too arrogant?"
The being inside the coffin could not leave on its own, so the great formation that trapped Li Lan was set up by the Alien Alliance.
Originally, the Alien Alliance had many experts and their array formation skills were also extremely impressive. It would have been more than enough to trap Li Lan in his current state. Once the being in the coffin had completely possessed Qingyan, he could then go out and strip Li Lan of his reincarnation, and the grand plan would have succeeded.
However, he did not expect that Qingyan had already tampered with those formations, making it impossible for her to trap Li Lan.
Li Lan was just waiting!
Waiting for the light smoke to arrive.
"What can you do to me! You two are going to die!"
The being within the coffin was now utterly enraged, and it launched a ferocious attack on the wispy smoke—
"It's time to end this."
Li Lan spoke softly, and then, a Reincarnation Seal slowly appeared in his dantian and landed in his hand.
As the thought arose, a mysterious yellow light appeared on the Samsara Seal, illuminating the coffin. Instantly, the remaining power of reincarnation within the coffin was fully activated, yellow smoke erupted violently, and the gray mist was pulled back.
"what--"
A piercing scream rang out, and the coffin slammed shut!
Qingyan subconsciously took two steps back. She was far from recovering to her previous life's level, and facing the attacks from the being in the coffin, it was already extremely difficult for her to hold on for even a moment.
"You should adjust your breathing first,"
Li Lan said something to her, and Qingyan nodded and sat down.
Li Lan walked over, gently stroked the coffin, and calmly said, "Shall we talk?"
"Let me guess, you must be Blood Nightmare, the leader of the Alien Alliance nine hundred years ago, right?"
"What did you see when you came here? What happened?"
"Where did the authority of the gray fog come from?"
"Why are they vying for the position of leader of the alliance? What is their purpose?"
He asked questions one by one.
"You brat..."
From within the coffin, the Blood Nightmare's resentful voice rang out, its anger still palpable!
The Gray Mist Authority, the War Alliance Trace, and others were all pawns he had painstakingly laid out over the past nine hundred years, but now, all his plans had been completely thwarted by Li Lan and Qingyan...
"It seems you're not entirely clear about the current situation."
Li Lan smiled, then placed the Samsara Seal on the coffin, injecting the power of reincarnation into it. Instantly, a shrill scream came from inside the coffin!
"what!"
"No!"
It's hard to imagine that Blood Nightmare, the former leader of the Alien Alliance and a once-renowned powerhouse, would utter such a pitiful sound.
But Li Lan understood that what Blood Nightmare was suffering at this moment was no different from the torture of hell!
In the past, the new creator of Samsara not only built the Bridge of Helplessness, the Ten Great Halls, and the other side of the Sea of Bitterness, but also... the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
The eighteen levels of hell are used to erase one's past life. All living beings in the world who enter them will suffer extreme pain, and even the strongest beings in life cannot withstand it!
Originally, with Xue Yan's cultivation level, even if Li Lan and Qing Yan combined their strength, they wouldn't be a match for him in a direct confrontation.
However, he was trapped inside the coffin where the power of reincarnation remained. As the new master of reincarnation, Li Lan only needed to inject a little bit of reincarnation power, and the coffin would become an unparalleled magic weapon that could completely trap him inside.
At this moment, inside the coffin, the Blood Nightmare is undergoing all sorts of terrifying tortures, including being subjected to mountains of knives and seas of fire, skinning, and having its tongue cut out!
……
now.
"Success!"
Within the War Alliance, Elder Ji Yuan received news that Chen Ling had returned!
He grinned maliciously, stood up, feeling extremely pleased, and said, "Go tell Mo Tian and Supreme Qi Yan that the new master of reincarnation will return in ten days. Please ask Right Envoy Mo Tian to immediately prepare for the coronation ceremony of the alliance leader."
"Furthermore, notify the other nine alliances to attend the ceremony—"
……
Why would Ji Yuan be so attentive?
Upon receiving the message, the Right Envoy of Demon Heaven frowned deeply.
"Could it be that something happened to the new master in the River of Ten Thousand Corpses?!"
At that moment, he was filled with extreme regret.
They should have insisted on sending some experts to accompany Li Lan. Now they are completely unaware of everything happening in the Ten Thousand Corpse River, and have become blind!
"If Ji Yuan wants to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, then let him prepare it."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao spoke calmly.
……
"Li Lan is dead? A new master of reincarnation is about to be chosen?"
At this moment, inside the Wind and Thunder Alliance, Nie Lei and several elders looked at the message coming from the War Alliance with some doubt.
"He died in the River of Ten Thousand Corpses; it can't be faked..."
Someone whispered.
"In reply, we will attend the meeting on time. Hehe, if Li Lan really dies, cooperating with Ji Yuan and others will be the same."
……
"Chi Xue, you've met Li Lan. Do you think he'll be harmed by Ji Yuan and the others?"
Inside the Eternal Life Alliance, an old woman looked at Chi Xue, who was dressed in white.
"He won't."
Chi Xue said, "Perhaps someone could kill him with unparalleled cultivation, but... it's very difficult for someone to kill him with schemes and tricks."
She had an inexplicable trust in Li Lan.
The old woman nodded: "Let's see how things go in ten days!"
……
"This internal upheaval within the alliance presents an opportunity."
Within the Immortal Alliance, an Immortal spoke up: "Our alliance obtained that person's relic, and we should rightfully be that person's successor. Last time, so many experts sacrificed themselves but failed to kill Li Lan. This time, the reincarnation will surely belong to our alliance!"
Old Man Star Ash gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go myself!"
Last time, he carried "that person's" belongings and personally tried to assassinate Li Lan, but the other party managed to escape unscathed. This was an unforgettable humiliation for him!
"However, Chu Jiang, Qin Guang, and Yan Luo are probably no longer the best candidates to inherit the power of reincarnation; they have already lost..."
At this moment, another immortal spoke.
"Is that woman named Lin Ruobing on that island still unwilling to join our alliance?"
At this moment, another person suddenly spoke up: "She was able to enter that island and even obtain the legacy left behind by the person on the island, which shows that her karma is extremely great. She is the best candidate to replace Chu Jiang and the other two!"
The old man with the gray hair looked grim. He shook his head and said, "She doesn't even want to show her face now, and we can't get close to that island. After all, she once lived in seclusion on the island for a period of time..."
"It's very difficult!"
Inside the main hall, everyone fell silent.
"You immortals,"
At that moment, a man suddenly walked in and said, "A woman has come in. She looks exactly like Lin Ruobing from the island. She claims to be Lin Ruobing's older sister..."
She also said that she could get Lin Ruobing out of the country or to join our alliance.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the immortals in the hall lit up instantly!
"Send word, I want to see her!"
Old Man Star Gray hurriedly spoke, as if he had grasped at a straw!
……
Meanwhile, outside the Immortal Alliance.
Lin Ruoxue, dressed in a long dress, waited calmly. Compared to when she was in the Immortal Realm, she had lost some of her haughty arrogance and gained a sense of weariness.
……
