The Old Gods

Chapter 863: Virgin Boys and Girls?

god?
Gods, holding up flowers!

Such a huge phantom must be the afterimage of the true god or demon.

Compared to the blurry stone sculptures, the afterimages of gods and demons, though illusory, are far more exquisite.

Lady Chenghua could be described as "a pillar supporting the heavens and shaking the earth." She wore an antique-style long dress and held an oil-paper umbrella, as if she were gazing into the distance.

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed.

Unexpectedly, the first afterimage of a god or demon that I saw was actually a third-class god named Chenghua.

wrong!

Lu Ran suddenly remembered that back in Beifeng City, the god Beifeng had also personally descended, and his enormous afterimage stood tall and imposing, causing all living beings to tremble in fear.

If you count it this way.
The first afterimage of a god or demon that Lu Ran saw with his own eyes was neither Cheng Hua nor Bei Feng.

It wasn't even a fairy sheep.

Instead, it was the evil god, the paper man, who was the first to reach out to him on the altar back then!

胭纸
Thinking of this evil god, Lu Ran couldn't help but sigh.

He never understood why Yan Zhi was so fond of him.

Another point: Back when Lu Ran was still weak, the Immortal Sheep had provided an idea to combine the Immortal Sheep Divine Art - Scapegoat Body with the Rouge Paper Evil Art - Paper Effigy.

When attacked by the enemy, try to achieve the effect of "being unharmed and causing the enemy to suffer a backlash".

However, ever since Lu Ran entered Holy Spirit Mountain, his connection with the Immortal Sheep has weakened, making it impossible for him to use the Divine Art: Substitute Body.

The matter of combining techniques was thus put on hold.

Several years have passed, and Lu Ran has ascended to the Heavenly Realm, but his situation remains unchanged.

He did not approach the sacred mountain, and his connection with the deity, the Celestial Sheep, remained weak, preventing him from summoning the scapegoat to possess him.

Looking back on his journey, Lu Ran not only lacked the conditions to cast a spell, but as a rat in a dark sewer, he shouldn't have made such a grand show of summoning the afterimage of the immortal sheep to possess him.

The situation has changed!

The Burning Gate's primary target, the stone sculpture of the Evil God Ghost Talisman Doll, is naturally located in the deepest part of the Demon Cave of the Great Xia Dynasty in the human world.

Lu Ran was certain that even in the Demon Cave, he could communicate without any obstacles with the Immortal Sheep. Back when he was training and growing in the Evil Dog Village, the Immortal Sheep had guided him.

Before slaying the god, shouldn't I return to the mortal realm and study it properly?
The Heavenly Grade Divine and Evil Techniques are already the highest-grade techniques that humans can use.

A scapegoat and a paper effigy should be able to be combined, right?
Well, we should still prepare for the worst.

If that doesn't work, then the only option is to seize a divine position, which qualifies one to use a higher-level technique, and then try to combine the two.

wrong!

Other warriors of the Burning Gate can seize the divine position from the gods and demons.

It seems that Lu Ran's divine position is with Lord Immortal Sheep.
This?
The Immortal Sheep had put a lot of thought into this, planting a seed in Lu Ran's heart long ago, giving him a beautiful vision and an almost invincible combination skill.
Did it urge him to grow up quickly, to carry a butcher's knife, and stand before the stone statue of the immortal sheep?

Lu Ran slightly widened his eyes.

While he was pondering, the afterimage of the god in the highest heavens suddenly moved.

No one knows what Chenghua saw, but she suddenly flew away, her clothes fluttering. Lu Ran chased after her, but his vision was once again obscured by the real sky and sea of ​​clouds.

The lingering image of the deity had vanished, and the sacred mountain connecting to the third heaven came into view even more clearly.

In the highest heavens, the magnificent sacred mountain finally came to an end.

There's a mountain peak!

From where Lu Ran was, he could vaguely see the sharp peaks at the edge of the mountain, which seemed to have plunged into a vortex.

Dark clouds swirling!

Lu Ran could see the constantly moving dark clouds, which were very powerful, but he didn't know what was inside them.

"crash"

A light drizzle was falling.

The cold raindrops immediately woke him up.

To get a better view, Lu Ran unknowingly flew forward and entered the rain of the Rain Master faction.

"Buzz~" The Silent Night Blade trembled slightly.

Located in the sacred mountain area, it also sensed the presence of the opponent's divine weapon.

"They've arrived." At the same time, a deep, hoarse voice entered Lu Ran's mind.

【Lord Immortal Sheep, please wait! I am currently in the light rain of the Rain Master's sect, and I can be detected. This disciple will change to another sacred mountain to communicate with you again.】

"Rain Master? Ha." The fairy sheep's cold laugh was full of disdain.

Lu Ran: "."

The rain from the Rain Master school is indeed hard to describe in terms of its sensory effects.

Specifically, it can be compared to the Warhorn God Technique - Echo Horn.

Whenever Master Jinghong blows her horn, the sound waves will give her corresponding feedback to everything in the area, allowing her to construct a topographical map in her mind.

The echo angle has an extremely wide detection range, but its fatal flaw is its blurriness!
Unless a large force gathers in one place, Jing Hong will not be able to detect it at all.

After such techniques are upgraded, they will only continue to increase the scope of exploration, rather than refining the precision of perception.

If the perception of the sixth-rank god, the War Horn faction, is this poor, then the perception of the eighth-rank god, the Rain Master faction...
The greater purpose of this rain should be to help Yan Qing, the merman's lackey, to roam freely in the air.

"[Master Immortal Sheep, is there anything you wish to instruct your disciple on?]" Lu Ran naturally understood what Immortal Sheep meant, so he simply stood at the edge of the rain curtain and asked via telepathy.

How are your preparations going?

[Currently, I have three warriors under my command who are at the third level of the Heavenly Realm. In addition to Deng Yuxiang and Huangfu Zhao, whom I mentioned last time, I have now added Jiang Ruyi.]

Lu Ran paused, then continued: "As you know, she is my fiancée, and she inherited the Jade Talisman - Ghost Talisman Doll Stone Sculpture."

"Hmm." Fairy Sheep responded faintly.

[Currently, this disciple is training Si Xianxian. She has inherited the Blazing Heaven Divine Sculpture and will be a powerful damage dealer for our God-Slaying Sect!]

【Hmm.】The response was also a single word, but the tone was noticeably stronger.

It's not hard to tell that Lord Immortal Sheep approves of Lu Ran's actions.

[After your last suggestion, I changed my primary objective. I plan to start with the Ghost Talisman Doll, and then pursue the Raging Sea Flame Dragon.] [Oh?]

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran felt very uneasy.

The majestic Heavenly Realm resembles a student eagerly awaiting assessment results, anxiously waiting for the teacher's evaluation.

[Ghost Talisman. Hmm, that's a decent starting point.]

Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face: "Right, right?"

Immortal Sheep abruptly changed the subject: "Have you ever seen the true form of the Ghost Talisman?"

【Ah? I saw this clan's stone sculpture in the sculpture garden; it was a little boy wearing a tiger-skin hat and with yellow paper talismans pasted on it.】

The Immortal Sheep coldly asked, "Is that a true evil god?"

Lu Ran opened his mouth, but didn't dare to make a sound.

All the stone sculptures in the park are, of course, false gods.
The Immortal Sheep snorted coldly: "The stone sculptures in the garden are male children, but why are there also female children among the Ghost Talisman clan who invaded the human world on the night of the fifteenth?"

Lu Ran's eyes widened!
What do you mean?
Are the real evil god, the Ghost Talisman Doll, two stone sculptures?

A boy and a girl?

Damn it? !
[Two?] Lu Ran was a little confused.

The voice transmission slowed down slightly, as if to ensure that Lu Ran could understand and remember clearly: "They exist hand in hand, complete because of each other. They can use each other's techniques, but they also have a tendency to cast spells."

The boy is proficient in lightning and blood explosion, while the girl is skilled in sand and ice.

Young boys are more likely to use ghost talisman arrays or bewitching arrays, while young girls typically use icy quicksand arrays.

"Ah." Lu Ran responded blankly.

That jade talisman is truly ruthless!

The separation of gods and demons was not enough; the demonic aspect was further divided into two evil figures.

Is this done to make it easier to control the evil side, or to prepare in advance so that they can be defeated and their abilities reclaimed one by one in the future?

Lu Ran wasn't sure if his idea was correct.

He always tended to assume the worst about the gods.

"So, you still intend to make the Ghost Talisman Doll your primary target?" The voice transmission carried a hint of mockery.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ran immediately replied: 【Still!】

【oh? 】

Lu Ran's expression was serious as he stated the core of the plan: "This race has low intelligence, and more importantly, they possess the ability to become ethereal, which may allow us to exploit a significant loophole!"

After a strong gust of wind, everything vanished.

The fairy sheep remained silent, waiting for what would follow.

Lu Ran pondered: "The two evil statues of the boy and girl are indeed more dangerous, but from another perspective, they also present an excellent opportunity! They give us the possibility of defeating them one by one."

Regardless of whether the jade talisman was a precautionary measure to prepare for a future "divide and conquer" strategy, Lu Ran was going to accept it with a smile!

Lu Ran suddenly asked: "You said that the boy and girl exist hand in hand, and are complete because of each other, which means that they can be separated?"

"A promising young man." These four simple words carry a hint of satisfaction.

Lu Ran's eyes were unusually bright!

He couldn't wait to say: "After we're separated, we're incomplete. So we can't use each other's techniques anymore?"
Is it because the divine position is incomplete, and if the young boys and girls continue to use evil magic, will they fall to the celestial level?!

A chilling laugh echoed in my mind. "Why don't you try it and see?"

Lu Ran: "."

He wasn't sure if this was some kind of confirmation, or if even the Immortal Sheep was unaware of a deeper situation.

Regardless, the idea of ​​dividing and conquering is something that Xianyang approves of.

【Nurture your Lie Tian.】The voice transmission lowered again, growing fainter and fainter.

"Wait a minute, Immortal Sheep!" Lu Ran hurriedly asked, "This disciple has another question. I saw a vortex of dark clouds at the summit of the Divine Mountain. What's behind it?"

[Go up to the next floor and gather intelligence yourself.] The voice transmission returned to its usual coldness.

Lu Ran looked troubled: "This disciple is only at the second level of the Heavenly Realm. It will take a long time before I can cultivate to the third level."

【madness.】

【Uh.】 Lu Ran shrank his neck.

He just said I'm teachable!

If you say you're going to fall out, you're going to fall out.

What a cold-blooded sheep!
The Immortal Sheep's voice transmission grew even colder: [What has hindered your ascension?]

[Sky and Sea of ​​Clouds.] Lu Ran paused his telepathic transmission.

Yes, a sea of ​​clouds!
Twenty kilometers from the sacred mountain, the sea of ​​clouds is sparse.

There are no seas of clouds in the areas close to the mountains!
This means that nothing will stop Lu Ran from ascending to the third heaven and exploring the upper realm.

"With my strength, am I qualified to enter the vortex to investigate?" Lu Ran asked cautiously.

[We'll focus on nurturing Lie Tian first, then discuss the future.]

"Disciple understands, thank you for your guidance, Immortal Sheep." Lu Ran said gratefully, clasping his hands together.

All that remained in my mind was the buzzing of the fairy jade sculpture.

There is no longer any divine message.

Lu Ran waited for a moment, and only after confirming that Lord Immortal Sheep had left did he withdraw from the rain.

Immediately, his gaze sharpened.

At the sacred mountain, a woman holding an umbrella was seen flying close to the mountainside.

They've gone up to the highest heavens!

It was the gentle woman that Lu Ran had been following. Just who was she?
I'd like some monthly votes.
