Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 104 Gu Yuan! The True Secret of the Pure Yang Body!

Looking at that retreating figure, a look of horror flashed in Lin Ran's eyes.

In his perception, there was no trace of aura in the area where the figure was located, as if the person and even the space he was in did not exist.

However, with the naked eye, it is certain that it is indeed a human figure. This contradictory sensory perception makes it seem particularly eerie.

Lin Ran was no stranger to this situation; it only occurred when the power of the person in front of him completely surpassed his own.

Those who had fought before and were skilled in combat would have had the same feeling when facing him.

But now, he has already broken through to the Dou Zun level. Just what kind of strength does he possess that allows a Dou Zun expert to feel such a difference?

Moreover, what this guy said...

Lin Ran swallowed hard and subconsciously took a step back, already having some idea of ​​the newcomer's identity.

"His breathing is steady, and his blood and energy are abundant. This kid isn't lying."

The middle-aged man looked kindly at Gu Xun'er, whose face was full of anger, and said softly, "You shouldn't be so angry, girl. He really did help you."

"But, but!"

Xun'er's pretty face turned bright red.

"Alright, alright."

The middle-aged man looked at the girl gently, his eyes filled with a hint of doting: "You must understand that the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is nothing. For us, the bloodline origin is the key."

"You know perfectly well that's not what I meant, but this guy still..." Xun'er frowned slightly, her words carrying a hint of anger.

"I know, I'll handle it."

The middle-aged man smiled and spoke. This time, he didn't wait for Xun'er's response. Instead, he waved his hand and disappeared. Lin Ran also left with him.

Looking at the empty sky, Xun'er stomped her foot in frustration.

"It's happening again! It's always the same!"

"..."

Old Han, standing to the side, didn't dare to breathe loudly, only daring to lower his head and keep his eyes down.

……

The surrounding space twisted, and Lin Ran, who had just entered the Dou Zun realm, didn't even dare to have any thoughts of resistance. The world around them had changed, and the two of them had appeared in a desolate space.

There is nothing here, no sky or earth, only a distorted and desolate spatial force.

"Small space..."

And it was a small space that was temporarily created!

Lin Ran's throat bobbed, and the shock in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

Legendary Dou Sheng powerhouses can use their own power to create small spaces on the Dou Qi Continent, but Lin Ran also knows that it requires a certain level of preparation and a great deal of effort and skill.

But at this moment...

Swallowing hard, Lin Ran turned his gaze to what was in front of him.

In the desolate, distorted space, a figure stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't exude any powerful pressure, but Lin Ran dared not underestimate him in the slightest. He was certain that the person in front of him was the most terrifying person he had ever seen since he was born!

However, since he was already there, Lin Ran naturally wouldn't feign unnecessary shock and quickly composed himself.

The opponent's strength was too terrifying, and he had no power to resist at all. And because of this, he was not worried about what the opponent might do to him.

After all, with that kind of strength, he could seriously injure or even annihilate me with a casual wave of his hand, so these pointless tricks would just seem boring.

"Your temperament is commendable, but it's a pity that this continent hasn't seen a pure Yang body grow up for who knows how long. After all, such a physique is truly a marvel of nature, even surpassing those of us with our ancient bloodlines."

Lin Ran felt a chill run down his spine. From this short sentence, he understood that the person in front of him not only knew about his physique, but had also seen many pure yang physiques perish.

"May I ask your name, senior?" Lin Ran asked respectfully.

Upon hearing Lin Ran's question, the figure smiled slightly and slowly turned around. This person was about forty years old and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. He was dressed in simple linen clothes and had a smile on his face, which made people feel a little at ease.

This ordinary appearance did not make Lin Ran feel any contempt; the simpler it was, the more genuine and unpretentious it seemed.

"I am Xun'er's father."

really!

Lin Ran thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and was greatly shocked.

This guy really is Gu Yuan!

Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu Clan, one of the eight ancient clans of the Dou Qi Continent, was one of the five strongest people on the Dou Qi Continent a thousand years ago, and is now one of the only three late-stage nine-star Dou Sheng on the Dou Qi Continent!

This guy is truly the most outstanding being in this world.

At this moment, this top figure from the Dou Qi Continent appeared before him in an extremely ordinary manner!

It is also highly likely that...

They've come looking for trouble.

Seeing Lin Ran's shocked expression, Gu Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Surprised?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran gradually recovered from his shock, secretly glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, chuckled dryly, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

In front of such a terrifying figure with unparalleled power, it seemed that any thought that crossed his mind would be discovered by the other party, so he simply remained completely unaware.

"Greetings, senior. May I ask why you brought me here...?"

"You come from Zhongzhou, so you should know about the existence of our ancient races, and you should also have some understanding of my identity."

Gu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "This will save me a lot of trouble."

"The reason I brought you here... is naturally for my precious daughter."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran felt a slight chill, but he still suppressed his anger and calmly said, "As you just said, I did not harm your daughter, and the cause of today's events was an accident."

"I know, otherwise you wouldn't be here talking to me right now."

Gu Yuan smiled faintly, "But she is, after all, my daughter. You saw my daughter's body, which caused her some psychological damage, and you also took away half of the original flame of my clan's inheritance. These things need to be resolved."

"Although none of this was what you wanted, it has already happened, and it always needs to be resolved."

"So, what does Senior mean...?" Lin Ran said in a low voice.

"I am Xun'er's father. From a father's perspective, I should take care of my daughter's feelings. The best solution to having my body seen naked by a boy of unknown origin is to make sure this never happened."

But how can we pretend that something that has already happened never happened?

There is only one answer.

That's the person who caused this problem!

Lin Ran swallowed, her throat felt dry, and her lips trembled slightly.

There was nothing he could do; Gu Yuan's power was too great. In front of him, he couldn't even muster the courage to fight to the death.

"However, I am not only Xun'er's father, but also the head of the clan."

As Lin Ran trembled with fear, Gu Yuan changed the subject and said with a faint smile, "For the sake of our clan, I need to consider things more comprehensively."

"A more comprehensive... consideration?"

"That's right, because of you," Gu Yuan said calmly, "or rather, because of your constitution."

"The Pure Yang Body is powerful, extremely powerful. It is the most unique physique in this world. Its power lies not only in its inherent strength but also in the ability to provide ample assistance to those around it."

"Those with a pure yang constitution in history were surrounded by countless people. They were blessed with good fortune throughout their lives, with many wives and concubines, and good luck.

"But none of these people with pure Yang bodies have become true powerhouses, nor have any of their stories been passed down. In fact, very few people in the world know anything about this physique. Do you know why?"

"Isn't it because of the limitations of the Pure Yang Three Realms?"

Lin Ran spoke up subconsciously, saying that this was what Elder Lin had told him.

Blood Realm, Soul Realm, Yuan Realm.

These three realms are like three mountain peaks for a person with a pure Yang body. Only by climbing these three peaks one by one can one go further and higher.

"The Pure Yang Three Realms are indeed a small part of the reason, but it is just a difficulty in cultivation. Those with a Pure Yang Body are born with abundant blessings and good fortune, so how could they lack cultivation resources? Look at you, you are only eighteen years old, and you have already broken through to the Blood Realm."

Gu Yuan shook his head and denied it, saying, "The real reason is actually due to the effect of the Pure Yang Body itself."

"Replenishing blood and energy, improving aptitude, consolidating the foundation, and turning adversity into prosperity."

Lin Ran frowned slightly; he had actually noticed this feature long ago.

Aside from those furnaces and cauldrons, almost everyone who has been in close physical contact with him, or who has come into contact with his blood and essence, will experience a significant improvement in their physique and fighting spirit.

For example, Yunyun.

For example, Queen Medusa.

This is a characteristic of those with a pure Yang constitution; their abundant blood and energy are naturally of great benefit to these creatures.

and many more!

As if he had just thought of something, Lin Ran suddenly shuddered, his entire body tensed up, his fighting spirit surged, his soul condensed, and even goosebumps appeared on the surface of his skin.

What did Gu Yuan mean by saying that? Could it be that...?

"It's just as you imagine, but don't worry for now. Although ancient races need the protection of strong individuals and a strong bloodline, I wouldn't do something like that."

Gu Yuan said calmly, "Xun'er has unimaginable talent, and I have sealed a Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within her body since she was a child. As long as she can grow up smoothly, she can completely take over from me."

"Pills, secret techniques, even the Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame. I gave this girl everything I could, but it still wasn't enough."

"She still needs a guarantee. Or rather, the ancient tribe still needs a guarantee."

"And I... am that guarantee?"

Lin Ran's lips trembled; at this moment, he fully understood Gu Yuan's meaning.

Having read the original work, he naturally understood that these ancient races with the bloodline of Dou Di were incredibly powerful and unparalleled in the world, relying on the glory of their ancestors.

but.

This glory is not permanent.

No matter how powerful a bloodline is, it will eventually fade after being dispersed countless times.

As the legacy of their ancestors fades, the ancient races will fall from their pedestals and become ordinary people.

For example, the Xiao ethnic group!

The Xiao Clan's patriarch, Xiao Xuan, decided to gather the entire clan's bloodline to break through to the Dou Di realm and revitalize their bloodline after the clan's bloodline power began to deplete.

Unfortunately, the Dou Qi Continent lacked source energy, and Xiao Xuan ultimately failed, dying from severe injuries, his remnant soul remaining in the Heavenly Tomb.

Although Gu Yuan is still alive, his strength as a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng is unparalleled. Apart from the Soul Emperor and the old dragon in the magma underground, no one can rival him.

But how long can this glory last?

If the Xiao clan was like this, then other ancient races were naturally the same, including the ancient races.

Gu Xun'er is indeed outstanding. Although her bloodline has not yet been activated, Lin Ran, who knows the original work, is clear that Gu Xun'er's bloodline is of divine quality, the highest level of bloodline among the Dou Di bloodlines of ancient races.

With such bloodline, as long as Gu Xun'er grows up smoothly, her future will surely be no less than that of the three immortals of the Gu clan, or even Gu Yuan.

But what's the use of that?

As long as a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) doesn't appear, no matter how powerful these bloodline clansmen are, it's useless, because only a Dou Di can revitalize the bloodline, and only a Dou Di can make the ancient races shine again.

In today's world, it's impossible for a Dou Di to appear, so they need some other methods.

Other methods could prolong the lives of ancient races.

For example, in the original work, there was the Devouring Spirit Clan, which was attacked by countless ancient races, ultimately destroyed, and devoured by the Void Devouring Flame.

For example...

A body of pure Yang!

The Pure Yang Body can stimulate and condense blood qi and essence. When Queen Medusa failed to evolve, she relied on Lin Ran's essence blood to defy fate and successfully transform into the Seven-Colored Devouring Python.

The same applies.

Queen Medusa, whose bloodline had degenerated, was able to evolve from the Purple Flame Serpent into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python by relying on Lin Ran's essence and blood.

Then these ancient races can certainly do it too!

Lin Ran seemed to understand why powerful individuals with pure Yang bodies were so rare in history.

Because of those people, those predecessors who shared the same physique as Lin Ran.

They've all been divided up and devoured by the powerful figures on this continent!

"What...do you want?"

Lin Ran stared at Gu Yuan in front of him, his gaze gloomy.

The disciples of the Cloud Rain Sect were used as cultivation vessels by the Three Demon Scorpion Demons.

And him... is he destined to become a reserve of food when the bloodline of the ancient clan's emperor is depleted?!

"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to take action, I wouldn't be wasting my breath here. Wouldn't it be better to just seal your senses, imprison your body and soul, and make you a blood slave of my race?"

Lin Ran remained silent.

"I don't have much killing intent towards you. A pure yang body cannot ignite the Emperor's bloodline unless your strength reaches my level. Of course, if you really possess my strength, no one will dare to covet your bloodline," Gu Yuan said calmly.

"There is only one thing I want you to do. If you can do this, I can help you settle things between you and that girl Xun'er. I can even help you conceal the fact that you have a pure yang body from outsiders."

"As you know, apart from some ancient races like mine, or some reclusive old monsters, there aren't many people in the world who know about the existence of this kind of physique."

"...If there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to ask, senior."

Lin Ran spoke in a low voice. He had no choice but to trust Gu Yuan.

"Don't worry, it's not something difficult to do. I want you to use your blood and energy to nourish Xun'er's meridians every month, and to use your essence and blood to strengthen her foundation every year."

Gu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "This is not a difficult thing for you now."

"Of course, this isn't endless. The time is up until the next coming-of-age ceremony of my clan. What do you think?"

Coming-of-age ceremony... The ancient tribe holds a coming-of-age ceremony every twenty years, which is only about seven or eight years.

Besides, I didn't have a choice!

Lin Ran's lips twitched slightly, and he could only nod in agreement.

"very good."

Seeing that Lin Ran was so sensible and knew when to advance and retreat, Gu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. With a slight movement of his palm, a wisp of battle qi merged into Lin Ran's body.

Lin Ran's expression changed slightly, but he did not react with any overly intense emotions or actions.

If Gu Yuan wanted to deal with him, whether it was killing or controlling him, he only needed a single thought; why would he need to go through all this trouble?

"This wisp of my battle aura has no other purpose than to draw you to Xun'er's side every month and every year to fulfill our promise. Of course, if you suffer a fatal injury, this battle aura will also erupt to protect you once."

After infusing his battle qi, Gu Yuan smiled faintly, "Consider this your reward. Alright, little guy, that's enough for today. In the days to come, don't rely on your physique to act recklessly..."

As Gu Yuan finished uttering the last word, his figure slowly dissipated into the world.

Lin Ran's vision blurred, and he suddenly felt the entire world begin to spin.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the outside world.

Xun'er and Elder Han have disappeared, replaced by Elders Qianbai and Elder Suqian.

Seeing this, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously touched his forehead, feeling a sense of unreality.

"Sect Leader Lin, what is this...?"

The two elders exchanged a glance, then looked at Lin Ran in front of them and whispered, "Have you broken through to the Dou Zun level?"

"ah."

Lin Ran snapped out of his daze, looked at the two elders and nodded: "You've managed to break through by sheer luck."

Luckily...

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, both Elder Qian and Elder Bai showed helpless expressions, while Elder Su Qian behind them felt an unreal feeling.

In just one month, he soared from the Seven Star Dou Zong to the peak of Dou Zong, and then broke through from the peak of Dou Zong to Dou Zun.

Such a leap, such a level of attainment, can hardly be described with the word "lucky."

Those old guys who have been stuck at the Nine-Star Dou Zong level for who knows how long, and who have spent countless efforts trying to break through to Dou Zong, are really too unlucky!

"Sect Leader Lin's talent is unparalleled in the world."

The three were filled with mixed emotions, but also had many doubts.

Why is Lin Ran here at Canaan Academy at this time? Is it just to break through to a Dou Zun level and show off?

However, the three of them dared not say anything more at this moment. Lin Ran, with his Dou Zong strength, was already invincible in the Black Corner Region. Now that Lin Ran had broken through to Dou Zun, if they angered him, how could Canaan Academy possibly survive?

Seeing the three of them looking a little nervous and reserved, Lin Ran smiled calmly and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"I apologize for making this a spectacle of myself, Elders. There are actually two reasons why I came to the academy."

"Firstly, I am a guest elder of the academy, but I have never taught or made any contributions to the academy. I feel ashamed, which is why I thought of coming to the academy to take a look."

Qianbai and the other two elders raised their eyes slightly, and Su Qian's face twitched slightly.

"Secondly... I have two disciples under my command who also wish to enroll and learn. I wonder if the three elders..."

"Hahaha, Sect Leader Lin, you flatter me. You are a guest elder of our academy, so what's wrong with having your disciples come to learn?"

Seeing Lin Ran's goodwill, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Elder Su Qian was all smiles: "Where are Sect Leader Lin's two disciples right now? I'll take them directly to complete the admission procedures."

"Excellent, excellent!"

Lin Ran's mind moved, and in an instant, he locked onto the auras of Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan.

With a wave of his hand, accompanied by a distortion of space, the figures of the three female companions who were strolling around Canaan City suddenly appeared in front of Elder Qianbai and Elder Suqian.

"Oh dear, where is this?" Xiao Ziyan looked around in confusion, but her eyes lit up when she noticed Lin Ran and the others. "Big brother, hey! Old Man Su Qian, Old Man Qian, Old Man Bai, you're here too."

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

Qinglin and Little Fairy Doctor also came to their senses and happily greeted Lin Ran, while also looking curiously at Elder Qianbai and the other two, as well as Su Qian and the other two.

"Did you have fun?"

Lin Ran smiled and ruffled the hair of Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, then said to the three elders, "These two girls are the ones who will be enrolling. Elder Su Qian, please take them to complete the formalities later."

"Of course, there's no problem."

Elder Su Qian readily agreed, while Elders Qian Bai and Qian Bai looked at Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin with surprise.

"Sect Leader Lin, these two have such poor physiques..."

"Ah, I hope the elder will be lenient with me," Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Sect Leader Lin really enjoys tormenting people..."

The two elders looked at each other, both showing expressions of helplessness.

They naturally recognized Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin's physiques, otherwise they wouldn't have shown such expressions.

The Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupils are alright; Canaan Academy has no shortage of mental and serpentine techniques and fighting skills. But this Calamity Poison Body...

They're so hard to teach!
