Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 156 It is our duty to restore the glory of the Cloud Rain Sect!

Lin Ran spoke repeatedly, expressing several words of relief, leaving Scorpio speechless.

So you've managed to snatch all the good things in the world by luck, huh?

However, the intensity of Lin Ran's strange fire was indeed beyond Scorpio's expectations. It wasn't that he had never seen strange fire before. As a peak Nine-Turn Dou Zun, Scorpio had seen an extremely large number of strange fires, but those things were of no use to him at all.

However, the strange fire in Lin Ran's hand was different.

Scorpio was certain that if his cultivation technique hadn't clashed with the attributes of this strange fire, his combat power and strength would have been greatly enhanced if he had been able to control it!

Only this kid could be able to cultivate such an extremely yin and evil technique as the Joyful Zen Bliss Technique, while also mastering such a fiery object.

After all, that's a pure Yang body...

The thought of Lin Ran's extremely special physique caused even Scorpio, who was already at the peak of the Ninth Rank Dou Zun, to have a strange look in his eyes.

"It seems you've done quite well in the Northwest Continent these past two years... But I don't think you came back today just to show off to this old man." Scorpion's eyes flickered slightly, concealing the strange look in them, and he smiled faintly.

"No way."

Lin Ran chuckled, "My little treasures might not even meet your standards, Master. I'm not here to show off. It's just that your birthday is coming up soon, and I came back to celebrate with you!"

"Hey, Master, this is for you!"

As he spoke, Lin Ran moved his palm slightly and took out a jade box from his storage ring, carefully presenting it to Scorpio.

Scorpion was somewhat surprised. With a slight movement of his fighting spirit, the jade box slowly opened, revealing a pill that was entirely fiery red and emitted a faint spiritual mist.

The medicinal power of this pill is extremely strong. The rich medicinal effect condenses into a substance, swirling around the pill. In fact, it has condensed into the shape of a fire snake. However, the pill energy is not solidified and is at the level of two-color pill lightning.

"This is... an eighth-grade Fire Spirit Clarity Pill?"

With his exceptional eyesight, Scorpio instantly recognized the origin of the pill.

The Fire Spirit Clarity Pill is a low-grade eighth-rank pill that can attract two-colored pill lightning. It is taken internally and is fiery red in color. It can greatly increase the combat power of people with fire attribute battle qi in a short period of time after taking it, and there is an extremely small probability that their battle qi will undergo a permanent transformation.

This pill wasn't actually of much use to him, but it was still an eighth-grade pill. However, for Lin Ran, this level of pill was probably one of his most valuable treasures.

"You're quite generous, aren't you?"

A smile appeared on Scorpio's face as he closed the jade box again and put it into his storage ring.

"This was a lucky find for me," Lin Ran chuckled. "Unfortunately, my alchemy skills are still lacking. If I could improve them further, I would certainly refine a batch for you, Master!"

"You've put in a lot of effort, but at your age you've already broken through to the seventh rank of alchemist. Your future is naturally limitless. I'm waiting for your batch of pills."

"What a stroke of luck! By the way, Master, your birthday celebration..."

"Appropriate humility is a good thing, but excessive humility comes across as hypocrisy." Scorpio said calmly, "I will accept the gift. I am very pleased that you have this intention. However, you don't need to concern yourself with the birthday celebration. The most important thing now is to deal with your own affairs as soon as possible."

"After taking the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill, you also took the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill."

"Both of these pills are top-grade body-tempering pills. Although you have a pure yang body, you are still a little short of being able to completely digest these two pills, let alone integrate all the medicinal power of these two pills into your physical body rather than into your cultivation level... I can feel that there is a large amount of medicinal power accumulated in your body. If you can fully absorb this medicinal effect, it will be of great benefit to your development."

"The teacher is absolutely right."

Lin Ran nodded respectfully; he was well aware of his own situation.

He only absorbed about one-third of the medicinal effects of the Vajra Dragon Bone Pill; the remaining effects were all stored in his physical body.

If he could absorb all the medicinal effects, Lin Ran's physical strength would soar to its limit, and his battle qi realm would also increase significantly.

However, refining this medicinal effect is not easy. Even Lin Ran doesn't have many good methods at the moment and can only proceed step by step.

However, judging from Scorpio's words...

"My birthday is still a few days away, so there's no rush. Since you've come to Zhongzhou and happen to have nothing to do, why not take a trip to the Tianmu Mountains in the Northern Region?" Scorpion said calmly. "There should be something there that can help you."

"Tianmu Mountains?"

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback: "Does Grandmaster mean... the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool guarded by those rats?"

The Tianshan Blood Pool in the Tianmu Mountains is very famous, and almost everyone in the entire Northern Region of Zhongzhou knows about it.

Every three years, a tide of celestial energy appears on a volcano at the top of the mountain range. After the tide recedes, the Tianshan Pool inside the volcano is filled with an extremely strange red liquid, which is the Tianshan Blood Pool. This Blood Pool will only exist for five days before it disappears completely.

This Heavenly Eye Blood Pool can help some peak Douhuang experts break through to the Douzong level. Moreover, even Douzong experts who enter it can have their marrow cleansed and bones tempered, thus improving their strength.

However, Lin Ran's strength had already reached the Dou Zun level, but the effects of the Tianmu Blood Pool were...

"What you seek is to catalyze the effects of the medicine within your body and integrate it into your system. It doesn't necessarily require the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool to enhance you in any way; it's enough if it can play a supporting role."

Scorpion said calmly, "Of course, there are only ten spots available at the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool. My Cloud Rain Sect has now returned to the Central State, but the major powers in the Central State are still unaware of this. We need you, the young sect leader, to help my Cloud Rain Sect gain some recognition."

"Tell those guys, especially those old women from the Flower Sect, that the Cloud Rain Sect is back!"

"Yes, Master!"

The feud between the Cloud Rain Sect and the Flower Sect has existed since their founding. Now that the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts have returned to the Central Continent at great expense and effort, they naturally want to promote their sects.

We also want to announce to those who kicked the Cloud Rain Sect and the Three Demon Scorpion Demons out of the Central Plains that they have returned!

Lin Ran would naturally not refuse if his master had such ambition.

After greeting Scorpio, Lin Ran went to greet his second master, Earth Scorpio, and his third master, Human Scorpio.

After finishing all this, Lin Ran returned to his side hall to rest for a while before embarking on his journey to the Tianmu Mountains.

There was no other way; Scorpio's birthday was approaching, and Lin Ran couldn't delay this matter for too long. Coincidentally, the opening time of the Tianmu Mountain Range was also in the next few days, so Lin Ran naturally had to seize the time.

Of course, as a Dou Zun powerhouse, Lin Ran was very fast. After determining his destination, Lin Ran only spent less than a day using the space wormhole to travel from the Yunyu Sect's residence to the Northern Region of Zhongzhou.

After several more hours, a massive mountain range shrouded in thick clouds and mist came into view.

The Tianmu Mountains are extremely majestic and imposing, surpassing even the Beast Mountains of the Jia Ma Empire.

Dense clouds and mist enveloped most of the mountain range, making it impossible to see what was inside. Moreover, the clouds and mist seemed to contain an extremely vast energy, which surprised even Lin Ran.

No wonder the Tianmu Mountains are off-limits to air travel; the terror they contain is something even a Dou Zun expert must be wary of!

Standing high in the air, looking down at the entrance to the mountain range below, and gazing at the almost dense, pitch-black sea of ​​people, Lin Ran's expression was calm and composed.

The allure of the Blood Pool of Tianshan was considerable; these people had clearly come to this mountain range seeking a place to live, but in the end, only ten actually entered.

No.

To be precise, there should be nine people, since Lin Ran will always be one of them.

Because the Tianmu Mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and there are many powerful magical beasts in the area, there are only three safe entry points. At this moment, all three entrances are surrounded by crowds.

"The Grandmaster's main idea is probably to have me revive the reputation of the Cloud Rain Sect in order to celebrate his birthday." Lin Ran's gaze swept across the crowd and quickly locked onto several younger members who were accompanied by powerful figures.

They were all dressed in distinctive clothing, and Lin Ran recognized the forces behind them at a glance.

Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Myriad Swords Pavilion, Yellow Springs Pavilion, Starfall Pavilion.

It is the Sifang Pavilion, one of the four pavilions in Zhongzhou, consisting of one tower, one hall, two ancestral temples, three valleys, and four square pavilions!

Sifang Pavilion is relatively close to the Tianmu Mountain Range, so it almost always sends people to the Tianmu Blood Pool every time it opens.

However, Lin Ran's gaze was clearly not on the people of Sifang Pavilion. He scanned the crowd several times and, after discovering that no one from Huazong had come, he turned his attention to the people of Sifang Pavilion with some disappointment.

"Alright, Sifang Pavilion is not bad, but this time, let's go a little bigger."

Lin Ran murmured, gazing down at the Tianmu Mountains, an invisible force emanating from him.

A few breaths later, two figures arrived through the air, looking at Lin Ran with cautious expressions.

"Your Mightiness……"

"Now that the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool has opened, I wish to step inside and gain some insights. Do you permit me?" Lin Ran asked calmly, looking at the two thin, lewd-looking old men in front of him.

"This..." The two exchanged glances. The sleazy old man in the gray robe, who was leading the group, revealed an ugly expression and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, it's not that we don't allow it, but there is a special energy barrier in the Tianmu Mountain Range. If Your Excellency, with your strength, enters it, you will probably be automatically ejected from the Tianmu Mountain Range by that energy..."

"With my own power, the energy of the Tianmu Mountains is no match for me," Lin Ran said calmly.

Although the Tianmu Mountain Range has the effect of suppressing those with excessive strength from entering, this effect is limited. At most, it can only suppress those at the Dou Zong level. Once someone reaches the Dou Zun level, even if the Tianmu Mountain Range wanted to suppress them, it would be unable to do so.

A Dou Zun expert has mastered the power of space. Unless it is a unique small space or a blessed land, where in this world can't they go?

"However, I am not an impolite person. The rules of the Heavenly Eye Blood Pool were set by everyone, and I will naturally not break them." Lin Ran said calmly, "I will restrain my strength... I will just use the peak of Dou Huang, within the limits of the rules."

So easy to talk to?!

Lin Ran's attitude left the two powerful Dou Zong cultivators of the Gold-Eating Rat Clan somewhat stunned, and even somewhat incredulous.

What kind of existence is a Dou Zun level expert? Even in their Gold-Eating Rat Clan, there isn't a single Dou Zun expert with a name in the Central Continent. They are all arrogant people. It's already a miracle that they don't even speak to us, who are weak and are also magical beasts!

But the next moment, Lin Ran's words brought him back to reality!

"But I have one request."

really……

The two Gold-Eating Rat Clan members, both at the Dou Zong level, were somewhat distressed, but could only respectfully ask, "Your Excellency, please speak freely."

"These three entrances are too many."

Lin Ran glanced at the entrance below and said calmly, "Let's have only one entrance for this year's Tianmu Blood Pool."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, the two gold-eating rats looked at each other, and they understood immediately.

This Dou Zun wasn't after their Heavenly Eye Blood Pool; he was after these humans below!

What was there to hesitate about? The two Dou Zong of the Gold-Eating Rat Clan immediately nodded in agreement.

The Warcraft players absolutely love watching humans fight amongst themselves!

……

The Tianmu Mountain Range had not yet opened, and everyone waited quietly at the foot of the mountain.

But this wait didn't last long. Several hours later, the energy in this world suddenly surged.

The massive mountain range, shrouded in clouds and mist, resembled an ancient beast about to awaken. Deep, rumbling sounds emanated from the high altitude of the mountain range, accompanied by an overwhelming surge of energy.

"Whoosh!"

Amidst the dense clouds and mist, a vast amount of energy surged rapidly, eventually producing a sound like crashing waves. This extraordinary scene drew gasps of amazement from many, proving that nature truly is full of wonders.

A massive energy tide surged forth, and moments later, it burst directly out of the clouds, spreading rapidly. Some figures hovering in the sky were terrified and hurriedly swooped down. If they were swept into that terrifying energy tide, even a Dou Zong expert would likely be severely injured, if not killed.

The enormous energy tide was multicolored, and under the sunlight, it resembled a wide, colorful river hanging across the sky, incredibly beautiful. However, beneath this splendor lay a deadly crisis.

Waves of enormous, multicolored energy emanated continuously from within the mountain range. At this moment, many people could feel that the energy within the Tianmu Mountain Range was gradually becoming more violent and powerful. It was as if the Tianmu Mountain Range had become a magnet, attracting all the energy in the surrounding world.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the rhythm of energy, a chaotic yet loud series of footsteps and shouts suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, the massive sea of ​​people suddenly surged forward, transforming into three streams that rushed madly into the mountains.

But at that moment, an invisible spatial force burst forth, and to the astonishment of countless people, the three entrances suddenly twisted and began to converge together!

"What, what's going on?!"
