The Old Gods

Chapter 803 Tomorrow's Ascension
The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was already the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar.

That night, in the huge hall of Tianya Residence, Lu Ran sat on the armchair at the top, with his horse and sword in hand.

Deng Yuxiang, Yu Changsheng and Yan Chou were standing on the left and right of the hall. They could all see that the master was ready!
Bai Rao lay at Lu Ran's feet, looking up from time to time at the young man's solemn and dignified face.

The more I look at it, the more satisfied I feel.

Master Lu, you are becoming more and more like a superior.

In the past five or six days, Lu Ran has adjusted his condition to the peak!

Tomorrow morning, he will ascend to heaven with the Nightmare Guardian.

Lu Ran was both excited and nervous about the new journey, and could only use a serious face to hide his turbulent emotions.

His eyes passed over Yan Chou, and then looked at the charming woman who refused to leave his feet: "I will ascend to heaven tomorrow. Do you have anything special to say to me?"

"Young Master!" Yan Chou said immediately, "Let Chou Nu go with you."

"Yes, Master Lu." Bai Rao looked pitiful. "The heaven is dangerous. If you go there alone, won't it make me worried day and night?"

Deng Yuxiang: “.”

Am I not a human being?
Are the Dragon Protectors and Luoshenjiang just decorations?
These two pseudo-god stone sculptures that are a combination of gods and demons stand in Lu Ran's sculpture garden and can be called out to fight at any time.

"It's not that I don't trust you, but once you return to heaven, you will inevitably be questioned by the gods and demons." Lu Ran said in a deep voice.

Bai Rao, Yan Chou, and Senior Tu Feng all have special identities. They are all executioners who enter the mountains with missions.

After returning to heaven, one naturally has to report back.

The gods and demons are unable to retrieve the brain memories of human believers.

But no one can ensure that the executioners' performance and lies will be flawless under the questioning of gods and demons.

"Xiao Lu, although the Heaven Realm is not as vast as the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, it is not small either. There are only some special areas where you can communicate with gods and demons."

Bai Rao spoke in a sweet voice as she slowly climbed up to the armrest of the armchair.

"Aunt Bai, why are you avoiding the important issues? I know that after ascending to the heaven, there is a high probability that we will be directly teleported to the vicinity of the sacred mountain."

Lu Ran said, putting a hand on her head to stop her from getting closer.

"Aiya~ Xiao Lu!" Bai Rao looked unwilling, "Even if I am interrogated, I will not reveal any flaws.

I know how to lie~"

"I will take you to heaven." Lu Ran said seriously, "Only if we can ensure your and my safety."

The battlefield in heaven, or more precisely the "first heaven", also has a weak connection with the gods.

But in some special areas, in those areas called "Sacred Mountains", believers can communicate with gods and demons!

Although communication is still difficult, the sound can be transmitted clearly.

Lu Ran placed his hand on Bai Rao's head and rubbed it gently: "Don't worry, be obedient."

Bai Rao was slightly stunned.

The young man in front of him, who had a solemn expression on his face, softened his eyes a little, and even his tone became much gentler.

Bai Rao couldn't help but scold in her heart, you guy!

When he is serious, he is so majestic that no one can question him. When he is gentle, he is even more extreme and irresistible.
Chunchun is a succubus!

Tsk, the poor soldiers of Ranmen, I’m afraid they have all been severely harmed by you.

"So, do you have anything special to remind me of?" Lu Ran suppressed the restless beautiful snake and continued to ask.

Seeing that the young master had made up his mind, Yan Chou had to suppress his thoughts and said in a deep voice:

"After the young master ascended, he would have to be on guard against evil demon minions and human believers, but everyone's identities have essentially changed."

Lu Ran nodded silently.

In the Holy Spirit Mountain, when people see believers from other sects, they will draw their swords and fight them!

If you encounter the evil demons, you will fight to the death.

However, on the battlefield in heaven, humans and humans, humans and demons, all became comrades fighting side by side!
Because we all have a common enemy.

Lu Ran had not seen that scene yet.

But just thinking about it, it’s really ironic!

"Young Master, most of your mother's former followers in the Cloud Sea are scattered in various sacred mountains." Yan Chou said in a deep voice, "You are holding the Cloud Sea Dust Clear Sword, which is enough to command all the heroes.

But young master, you must also know that the old members of Yunhai near the sacred mountain will also be monitored by the corresponding gods and demons, so."

Lu Ran nodded silently.

"Xiao Lu." Bai Rao suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

"You must be careful about your behavior near the sacred mountain." Bai Rao looked up at the young man.

Lu Ran already knew what she was going to say.

Bai Rao carefully warned: "If you want to use the skills of other sects, or call out the stone sculpture in your mind, remember! You must stay away from the sacred mountain."

Lu Ran nodded heavily: "The Nightmare Guardian and I will try our best to only use the Immortal Sheep School's techniques.

If it really comes to the last resort, I will make sure to stay away from the sacred mountain, and I will also make sure that every living being who has seen my special ability will die under my knife and be devoured by me completely!"

"That's right~" Bai Rao smiled charmingly and looked at Lu Ran with satisfaction.

Lu Ran's eyes flickered as he continued, "Anyway, the external enemies of the heavens are able to devour the souls of the dead and have been competing with both the gods and demons for the origin of energy."

Before returning to the human world, Lu Ran had asked Lord Xianyang about having the Heaven Realm Executioners change their allegiance.

Lord Xianyang made it clear that now is not the time.

Lu Ran should make a decision based on the specific situation after ascending to the heaven. I think Lord Xianyang wants Lu Ran to understand and judge by himself, and use the external enemies as a cover to let those executioners who join the Ran Sect become Lu Ran's disciples in the heaven.

"Young Master, can I tell you more about the situation of the foreign enemies?" Yan Chou asked cautiously, fearing that the young master would be impatient.

After all, Lu Ran was already familiar with the abilities, characteristics, etc. of those mysterious guys.

"Tell me about it. Big Nightmare and I will listen to it." Lu Ran readily accepted the offer and did not refuse the kindness.

In the hall, torches were burning and the flames were flickering.

This pre-departure meeting lasted until late at night before everyone dispersed.

Lu Ran sat alone on the armchair, sorting out all the intelligence information about the heaven, with one hand on his forehead, rubbing his temple continuously.

Suddenly, a wave of divine power came from the side.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned his head and saw Yan Shuangzi's figure.

"Master, I..." Yan Shuangzi raised her hands slightly.

"Thank you." Lu Ran leaned his elbow on the armrest and turned sideways.

The hall was silent except for the crackling of burning torches.

After a long time, Lu Ran said softly: "After I leave, you will follow the madam."

"Yeah." Yan Shuangzi gently rubbed Lu Ran's temple with her fingertips, her eyes a little dim.

Everything she encountered when she first entered the mountain world slowed her down a bit on the path of cultivation.

One step away, one step away!

Now, Yan Shuangzi could only watch Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang fight their way to heaven together, while she continued to practice hard in the mountains.

It is undoubtedly unwise to let a person from the Sea Realm participate in the battle of the powerful people from the Sky Realm!
Even if Yan Shuangzi came and went without a trace, Lu Ran would never let her take any risks.

"You have reached the fourth stage of the Sea Realm. It won't be long before you can advance to the Heaven Realm." Lu Ran noticed her disappointment and comforted her softly, "Then I will come back to pick you up."

"Yes." Yan Shuangzi responded in a low voice.

Lu Ran changed the subject: "It seems like there is something extra on you?"

"Emperor Feng Tian came to visit, but the master was in a meeting at that time. Emperor Feng Tian left a tiger talisman and asked me to pass it on." Yan Shuangzi said as she took out half of the tiger talisman.

"Did she say anything?" Lu Ran took the left half of the tiger talisman.

"Emperor Feng Tian said that only when the two halves of the tiger are combined into one can the real effect be exerted." Yan Shuangzi recounted, "She also said..."

"what?"

"She said that the Lord of the Burning Gate is the ruler of the mountain world. No matter where he goes, he should be the ruler of that world!"

"Haha." Lu Ran smiled. This was indeed what He Qifeng would say.

Lu Ran looked at the obedient black jade tiger talisman in his palm. Obviously, it had been convinced by the original owner and came to recognize the new master.

Of course, the reason why He Qifeng could talk about the Tiger Talisman was because Lu Ran was qualified.

He was the owner of the right half of the tiger talisman and a great being in the celestial realm. No matter in terms of status or strength, he was superior to He Qifeng.

Lu Ran slowly raised his hand and placed it in front of his neck.

"Crack~"

The two halves of the tiger talisman were sucked together, fitting perfectly into a complete little black tiger.

The combination of two second-level magic weapons, although not reaching the strength of the third level, is still the top-level one among the second levels.

The effect of the black jade tiger talisman is based on Lu Ran's own power, boosting his arrogance.

I also don’t know whether the creatures living in the first heaven can continue to hold their noble heads high after seeing Lu Ran during this trip to the heaven?
Thanks, Qifeng.

Lu Ran gently grasped the tiger talisman and put it into his collar.

I'll go there first to expand the territory.

I'm waiting for you!

"Okay, go down, I'll go talk to the Madam." Lu Ran stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

Yan Shuangzi nodded slightly, and her figure flashed and disappeared.

The master and his wife have a separate retreat room, just below the bedroom.

Lu Ran came to a corner of the bedroom and walked underground through the tunnel.

In the pitch-black retreat room, before anyone could speak, Jiang Ruyi sensed a terrifying presence coming to the entrance of the tunnel.

"Lu Ran?"

"Sorry to disturb your practice." Lu Ran said softly as he came to the girl.

"Is the day coming?" Jiang Ruyi looked up at the young man in the light of the gourd with the Fiery Phoenix pattern.

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth. I will leave in the morning."

"Oh." Jiang Ruyi pursed her lips and held up the treasure gourd with one hand, "Chifeng is for you."

The little fiery phoenix floated up happily, but its master's hand passed over it.

Lu Ran leaned down, supported her back with one hand, and passed the other hand through her legs, then picked her up horizontally: "Don't practice tonight, just stay with me."

"Yeah." Jiang Ruyi took off her cold outer shell, wrapped her arms tightly around Lu Ran, and buried her face in his neck.

He hasn't left yet.

But her thoughts have filled the entire retreat room.
