Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 218 Zi Yan Returns to Her Clan

The purple dragon stared blankly at the words that Little Fairy Doctor was protecting behind him, and from his body, he felt an extremely familiar blood scent.

That's the bloodline aura of the Ancient Void Dragon, the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon royal family!

"It really is His Majesty..."

The golden dragon's overwhelming power softened almost instantly. His heart, which had been dormant for countless years, suddenly began to pound violently. His gaze was fixed on Zi Yan as he murmured.

"There's no mistake, this aura... this is the king's aura, this is the royal bloodline of our Ancient Void Dragon Clan!"

"Who are you?!"

Little Fairy Doctor understood that the ferocious and terrifying dragon-shaped demonic beast in front of her was after Zi Yan. Although the difference in strength was like heaven and earth, Little Fairy Doctor still protected Zi Yan behind her at the first moment.

Zi Yan tugged at Little Fairy Doctor's sleeve, looking at the purple dragon in front of her with some fear. This guy's aura was even more terrifying than the human scorpion corpse soul puppet, which made Zi Yan subconsciously feel panic and fear.

However, she also felt that the person in front of her had a somewhat familiar aura...

"Alright, Elder Aoki, if you're going to acknowledge kinship, you shouldn't do it like this. You've frightened my people."

Lin Ran's voice rang out.

Upon hearing the voice, the tense Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan's faces lit up with joy: "It's Young Master (Big Brother)!"

Lin Ran's figure then emerged from the spatial rift, came to the two women's side, and ruffled their hair: "It seems you've both done a great job these past few days."

"Young Master...Xian'er misses you so much..."

Little Fairy Doctor buried her head deeply in Lin Ran's Huai Zhou, inhaling his scent. Then, she suddenly raised her head, glanced at Qing Mu, who was gradually transforming into human form, and whispered, "Young Master, who is this...?"

"Look, just as I said, they've come to acknowledge their relatives."

Lin Ran gently rubbed Zi Yan's hair. Zi Yan opened her mouth, looking at Qing Mu, who had transformed into a kind-faced old man, with disbelief. Feeling the warmth from his bloodline, she was momentarily at a loss.

"take it easy."

Lin Ran smiled and nudged Zi Yan from behind: "Go ahead."

"Ah, I, no..."

Zi Yan was a little at a loss. Looking at the kind-faced Qing Mu in front of her, her mind was filled with the image of the magnificent purple dragon from earlier. But she still forced herself to cheer up and waved to Qing Mu in front of her: "Um, hello."

"Elder Qingmu of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

Aoki suddenly knelt down and loudly addressed the somewhat dazed Ziyan before him: "I implore Your Majesty to return to the clan with me, to take charge of the overall situation, and to restore the former glory of our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!"

ha?

Your Majesty?

I?

Zi Yan's face was completely blank, which fully showed her confusion and astonishment at this moment. She even subconsciously looked at Lin Ran, completely at a loss.

Lin Ran smiled faintly, said nothing more, and simply led Little Fairy Doctor to the side, giving Zi Yan and Qing Mu plenty of space.

Recognition among members of the same clan always requires a certain amount of time to adjust.

Of course, this also gives Lin Ran some time to catch up with Little Fairy Doctor and spend some time together.

"Young Master..."

Little Fairy Doctor gazed at Lin Ran with tender, gentle eyes.

Lin Ran pinched Little Fairy Doctor's delicate nose and laughed, "Very good! In just a few months, you've broken through from the peak of Dou Wang to the peak of Dou Huang... Hmm, judging from this aura, you should be breaking through to Dou Zong soon, right?"

"Hmm, as long as I consume a little more poison, I can break through to the Dou Zong level."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded gently, and after hesitating for a moment, she told him about the Poison Sect and the previous incident with Scorpion Rock.

"I don't think I'm ready yet. I was originally planning to use the Poison Sect to hone my skills, but who knew this would happen..."

Little Fairy Doctor said in a low voice, her helpless look making Lin Ran chuckle: "Just do it, what's there to worry about or be afraid of?"

"I know you're worried about your abilities and afraid you won't do well, but that's what you have to do. Only by trying more can you make up for your shortcomings, right?"

Lin Ran smiled and gently ruffled Little Fairy Doctor's pale hair, which resembled his own: "Besides, with the entire Holy Rain Sect, the two great empires of Cai Lin and Yun Yun, and with me here, what do you have to worry about?"

Little Fairy Doctor was slightly taken aback, her expression showing emotion.

Yes.

She was never alone.

Behind her is the vast Holy Rain Sect, her supportive partners and friends, and Lin Ran's unwavering support!

What else does she have to worry about?

Just go for it!

"Understood, young master!"

Little Fairy Doctor nodded emphatically, then looked up at Lin Ran's handsome face, her pretty face suddenly turning red, and she stammered, "Young Master... I, I missed you..."

"When did the most daring Little Fairy Doctor ever show such a shy expression?" Lin Ran teased.

"Young Master!"

"Hahahahaha!"

After some playful banter, Lin Ran's face relaxed, and Little Fairy Doctor also felt refreshed.

During this period, she devoted herself to cultivation, her body and mind constantly tense. However, when she was by Lin Ran's side, she was like a sailboat that had been fighting a fierce battle at sea returning to a safe harbor, always able to let go of her fatigue and exhaustion.

"Young friend Lin Ran."

Aoki's voice rang out, and Lin Ran looked up to see Aoki smiling at him. Lin Ran cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Elder Aoki, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Young friend Lin Ran, you jest. The bond between you and me, the Ancient Dragon of the Void, is profound. How could you claim to be deceiving me?"

Aoki spoke with a smile, addressing Lin Ran as "young friend" repeatedly, revealing his inner joy.

Zi Yan's identity is not in question; she is a genuine member of the royal family. Although she is still quite young, if we can take her back and nurture her properly, it is not impossible for her to reunify Dragon Island in the future, given the power of her bloodline.

With such gains, his actions of acting as a henchman for Lin Ran and fighting with the Great Celestial Venerable are completely insignificant!

Forget about fighting, Lin Ran is now my best ally, the Ancient Dragon of the Void! That's what I, Qingmu, say!

"Young friend Lin Ran, I still wish to bring the King back to the clan. What do you think..." Qingmu said in a low voice. Ziyan, who was standing next to him, did not give him any face and ran to Lin Ran's side, nudging him with her head.

"Big brother, big brother, this old Deng is trying to kidnap me..."

"Hahaha, you even kidnapped her, you little rascal."

Lin Ran gently ruffled Zi Yan's hair and chuckled, "Alright, it's time for you to return to your clan. Don't look at me like that. It's not like we'll never see each other again. If you miss me, just come find me."

"Okay, fine."

Zi Yan thought for a moment, her little head pondering for a while, and suddenly, to the astonishment of Little Fairy Doctor and Lin Ran, she jumped up and gave Lin Ran a big kiss on the face.

Then, as if fleeing, they disappeared into the space.

Aoki stared blankly at Ziyan's figure disappearing into the space, gave a wry smile, and hurriedly followed.

"This girl..."

Lin Ran chuckled, and Little Fairy Doctor beside him couldn't help but giggle as well: "Sister Ziyan always talks about you, Young Master. At first, I thought it was just sibling affection, but now it seems that Sister Ziyan is also full of admiration for you, Young Master!"

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

"what!"

"..."

……

Now that they had arrived in the Northwest Continent, Lin Ran was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took Little Fairy Doctor back to the Holy Rain Sect.

After spending a short while with the Green-Clad Little Fairy Doctor, Lin Ran asked the Green-Clad Fairy Doctor to make arrangements for the Little Fairy Doctor, specifically how to plan the development of the Chuyun Empire and how to incorporate this powerful empire into the Holy Rain Sect's sphere of influence.

The man in green was somewhat surprised by what he heard, but not unexpected.

Clearly, in her view, it was only a matter of time before Little Fairy Doctor took over the Izumo Empire, and she had complete confidence in Qinglin and Green Robe as well.

While Green Robe was handling matters concerning the Cloud Empire for Little Fairy Doctor, Lin Ran also visited the Snake-Man Empire and the Cloud Mist Empire, spending a brief moment with the two empresses.

The space wormhole has now been fully constructed, and the Serpent Empire, the Cloud Mist Empire, and the Holy Rain Sect are now completely connected. Even ordinary people can travel through space using the space wormhole in a very short time.

This greatly facilitated the disciples of the Holy Rain Sect and significantly enhanced the unity of the two great empires and the Holy Rain Sect as a whole.

After spending a passionate night with the two empresses, Lin Ran, led by Yun Yun, arrived at the core area of ​​the Yunlan Empire, which is currently the only small space in the entire Holy Rain Sect besides the Starfall Pavilion Star Realm.

What was originally the Gate of Life and Death of the Yunlan Sect is now the Holy Domain of the Holy Rain Sect!

The space twisted, and Yun Yun and Lin Ran found themselves in this unique space.

The Holy Domain is not large; the entire space is roughly the size of a city in the Black Corner Region. Its area is even smaller than the Star Realm of the Starfall Pavilion. However, thanks to the management of Yun Yun and the Holy Rain Sect, this place looks quite impressive.

The once empty space is now lush and verdant, with a mountain range and forest stretching as far as the eye can see. The rich spiritual energy is overwhelming, and it is in no way inferior to the Star Realm of the Starfall Pavilion.

Within the mountains, some buildings can be vaguely seen, but they are all surrounded by dense protective barriers, making them appear extremely imposing.

"This place has been modified by Master Yao, who added several devices that gather spiritual energy."

Yun Yun spoke softly, explaining, "Originally, I wanted to develop the Holy Domain into a place similar to a sect, but after careful consideration, I abandoned that plan. Given the current situation of the Yunlan Empire and the Holy Rain Sect, the emergence of such a unique spatial force would actually have the opposite effect."

"Therefore, I transformed it into a treasure trove of logistics."

"A treasure vault?"

Lin Ran was taken aback: "The Holy Sect's logistical resources are all here?"

"Yes, seven or eight out of ten are here, along with various spiritual plants." Yun Yun nodded slightly and led Lin Ran on a tour of the Holy Domain.

There aren't many buildings in the entire Holy Domain, but each building has its own special function. Some store pills, some store cultivation techniques and fighting skills, and some store medicinal materials, magical beast cores, and so on.

Lin Ran also discovered the Soul Infant Demon Tree that he had bought earlier in the center of the Holy Domain!

At that time, Lin Ran gave the Soul Infant Demon Tree to Green Robe and asked her to plant it. However, he did not find the Soul Infant Demon Tree in the Holy Rain Sect for a long time. He did not expect that Green Robe would actually plant it here!

"The items here include sixth to eighth grade pills, Xuan-rank to Di-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, magical beast cores, medicinal dust, and so on. They have all been listed in the Holy Decree and can all be exchanged for with contribution points."

As Yun Yun introduced the items, she explained, then added as if she had just remembered something: "Of course, the mobilization of anything here requires the joint certification of two or more Sacred Jade Tokens. Moreover, precious items such as Grade 8 pills, Grade 8 magic cores, and Earth-rank combat techniques require three Sacred Jade Tokens to mobilize."

"very nice."

Lin Ran nodded in affirmation.

Like Green Robe, Yun Yun is a top-level power holder, especially Yun Yun, who has been groomed by Yun Shan to be the future sect leader of Yunlan Sect since childhood.

Therefore, Yunyun did a great job in planning all of these things.

After leaving the Holy Domain, Lin Ran intended to continue exploring, but unexpectedly, Su Qian from Canaan Academy came to his door.

"Sect Leader Lin."

Su Qian looked at Lin Ran with a smile on her face, an awkward yet polite smile, clearly feeling embarrassed that she hadn't intervened during the Soul Palace's invasion last time.

However, Lin Ran didn't take it too seriously. Mang Tianchi had already appeared, and all the decisions had nothing to do with Su Qian. Moreover, Su Qian had left a good impression on him, so Lin Ran didn't refuse.

"Elder Su Qian, what brings you here to see me today?"

That's right.

Su Qian gave a slightly embarrassed smile: "A group of students in the academy are about to graduate, and many of them want to join the Holy Rain Sect. Sect Master Lin, what do you think..."

"It would be wonderful if new blood joined our sect; why not?"

Lin Ran was a little curious. He could have just told Green Robe about it. Even if he didn't, given the quality of the students at Canaan Academy, joining the Holy Rain Sect wouldn't be difficult. It was worth Su Qian making the trip himself.

"And then there's that Xinlan girl's matter..."

"Xinlan? Ye Xinlan?"

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, that's the girl."

Su Qian gave a wry smile: "Sect Master Lin, you may not know this, but for some reason, the Pill Tower has abolished all the elder positions that have been passed down through generations. The Ye family didn't even have the chance to be re-evaluated before being removed from the elder seats. Of course, the same is true for other families."

"...Is that so?"

Lin Ran feigned surprise, but inwardly he was speechless, as if he were the one who was truly responsible for this whole affair.

He mentioned it to Xuan Kongzi back then, but that was two or three years ago. After Lin Ran woke up from his coma, he was overwhelmed with all sorts of things. He never expected that Xuan Kongzi would actually reform the entire Pill Tower in just two or three years!

No wonder when he last visited Dan Tower, he felt something was missing; it seemed much cleaner and simpler...
