Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 252 Xun'er: Jealous? I'm used to it.

Deep within the Starfall Pavilion lies a secluded and tranquil room.

These quiet rooms were all built for the guest elders of the Starfall Pavilion, and only these elders are qualified to cultivate here. The energy here is one of the most concentrated in the Star Boundary.

On ordinary days, many elders would gather here to exchange skills and prove their cultivation. Today was no exception. A group of old figures stood on the open ground outside the meditation room, chatting and laughing.

"Bang!"

This peaceful atmosphere did not last long before it was suddenly shattered by a violent explosion. Astonished gazes immediately turned to look, only to see that a quiet room not far away had suddenly exploded, with faint, dazzling golden light flashing from within.

"This is……"

Many elders were stunned by what they saw.

"boom!"

Another deafening roar erupted, and the sturdy meditation chamber burst open. Then, under the astonished gazes of many, a terrifying, suffocating aura burst forth. Immediately, a giant nearly ten feet tall, its entire body as golden as gold, sat up in the chamber, stepped out with earth-shaking strides, and roared to the sky.

Instantly, the terrifying sound waves materialized like a storm, sweeping across the entire astral plane. The powerful sound waves spread to every corner of the astral plane, and the elders who were nearby were forced back more than ten steps before they could regain their footing.

"What is this?"

"What terrifying power! This aura is even stronger than that of the Soul Palace's Battle Saint from that day?!"

"What is this?!"

Feeling the terrifying power of the golden giant, most of the elders changed color. They sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the giant, as if they would be blasted into mincemeat with a single punch.

This feeling caused many elders' eyes to twitch involuntarily. The weakest among them was at the Dou Zun level, while the strongest were Dou Zun experts at the eight or even nine stars. But even they felt extremely dangerous when facing this golden giant.

That feeling of being on the verge of collapse was exactly the same as when the Soul Hall invaded the Starfall Pavilion and faced the Soul Hall's Battle Saint.

No, it's even more serious than that day!

"So this is the Vajra Glazed Body! It truly is a perfect match for the Sect Master!"

While the elders stood ready, several figures flashed over from afar, finally stopping in mid-air. These were Yao Chen, Cai Lin, Feng Xian, and others who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Upon seeing Yao Chen appear, the elders hurriedly bowed to greet him. One elder couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, what is this?"

"Hehe, it's the sect leader." Yao Chen smiled slightly and said.

Upon hearing this, the elders were immediately shocked, staring in astonishment at the golden giant, unable to believe that this thing was actually the sect leader in disguise.

But upon closer reflection, the only one who could possess such power and cultivate within the secret chambers of the Starfall Pavilion is Lin Ran.

"Ha ha."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the dazzling golden giant let out a powerful laugh, followed by a burst of golden light. Its massive body began to shrink rapidly, and in just over ten seconds, the giant was transformed back into its former slender form.

"The peak amplification of nine zhang nine feet, this Vajra Glazed Body is indeed quite suitable for my fighting technique. I didn't expect that I could achieve this level on my first use." Lin Ran said with a faint smile.

This Vajra Glazed Body is a physical enhancement combat technique, but the degree of enhancement is determined by the strength of the caster's own body. The stronger the body, the higher the enhancement. With his Pure Yang Sacred Body, which is about to reach its full potential, he can indeed achieve the level described in the technique's description when using the Vajra Glazed Body.

Transforming one's body into Vajra and Glazed Glass, it is unbreakable and indestructible. When this skill is mastered, one transforms into a Vajra and Glazed Glass body, which is nine feet and nine inches long, reaching its ultimate form. Its golden light shines throughout the world, and its fists can shatter the sky and its feet can split the earth!

"Truly worthy of being the Sect Master," Yao Chen exclaimed. "This aura... the Sect Master must have already broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, right?"

"Yes, he has already broken through to the one-star Dou Sheng level." Lin Ran nodded.

"Excellent! Now that the intelligence has been confirmed, the Bodhi Tree has emerged. Sect Master, you will surely be able to capture it on this trip!"

Yao Chen smiled.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran smiled faintly: "It's already been born, that's good."

"Then you will be in charge of Starfall Pavilion. Let me get some Bodhi seeds and refine them into Bodhi Pills for you. You should be able to break through to the Dou Sheng realm by then."

"Hahaha, I thank you in advance, Sect Master." Yao Chen laughed heartily. "However, Sect Master, during your seclusion, quite a few forces have entered the Desolate Ancient Domain. Are you prepared to...?"

"Don't worry, the Bodhi Tree isn't something you can obtain just by going there early," Lin Ran said with a calm smile. "This time, just wait for my triumphant return!"

Lin Ran is decisive and efficient in his work.

Now that his cultivation has broken through to the Dou Sheng level, he naturally did not hesitate on this trip. He did not stay at the Xingyun Pavilion and immediately set off for the northeast of Zhongzhou.

This time, however, he didn't bring anyone with him.

With his current cultivation level and the presence of the Northern King, he doesn't need any other help. He originally wanted to bring Cai Lin along, since it was the Desolate Ancient Domain where magical beasts roamed, and bringing Cai Lin there might bring different opportunities.

However, Cai Lin was still absorbing the energy from the nine-colored primordial stone and was still in seclusion, so Lin Ran had no choice but to give up.

……

The Desolate Ancient Domain is located in the northeast of Zhongzhou, quite far from where the Starfall Pavilion is located.

However, thanks to Lin Ran's speed, he arrived in the northeast of Zhongzhou in just two days.

Along the way, Lin Ran also saw an overwhelming flow of people, and it was clear that their destination was also the Desolate Ancient Domain.

This demonstrates the allure of the ancient Bodhi tree.

Desolate Town is the closest human city to the Desolate Ancient Domain. However, it is usually not populated by many people, and because of the Desolate Ancient Domain's fearsome reputation, few people come here. Therefore, this town is almost always deserted. But now it is different. The emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree has attracted countless people, which has directly caused this deserted town to become extremely popular. The noise can be vaguely heard from several miles away.

Lin Ran's first stop was this small town called Manghuang Town.

A vast crowd gathered outside the desolate town, and not far ahead of this massive flow of people was a primeval forest exuding an ancient aura, where colossal trees, hundreds of feet tall, stood like giants.

The trees provided ample shade, making it difficult for even the sunlight to penetrate. As one looked into the depths of the forest, a chilling darkness pervaded the air, occasionally punctuated by ferocious roars of beasts that sent shivers down one's spine.

A massive influx of people rushed toward that desolate ancient domain, while Lin Ran remained indifferent.

Most of these people are at the Douhuang or Douzong level, and they are basically blinded by the allure of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Going there would be a waste of their lives.

After all, what exists in this desolate ancient domain are not magical beasts, but ferocious beasts!

Even a Dou Zun or a half-saint wouldn't necessarily claim to be invincible when faced with those ferocious and brutal monsters.

With a clench of his fist, a bead with a hint of emerald green appeared in Lin Ran's palm. It was the Bodhi seed that had settled out of the Bodhi incarnation's saliva.

This desolate ancient domain is extremely vast, and finding the location of the Bodhi Tree within it is no easy task.

The safest approach is to first use the Bodhi seeds to determine the approximate location, and then slowly search using your spiritual power.

Holding the Bodhi seed in his hand, Lin Ran closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing the movement within the Bodhi seed. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and his figure shot off in the northwest direction.

However, after walking only a few steps, Lin Ran paused slightly, looking with great interest at a group of people below.

It was a team of handsome men and beautiful women, led by four people, two men and two women, all of whom were nine-star Dou Zun. Their strength was among the best of those who entered the Desolate Ancient Domain.

But what's most eye-catching is the logo on their clothing!

"The Flower Sect and the Heavenly Nether Sect..."

Lin Ran grinned and casually flicked out a stream of battle qi, which fell downwards.

The group from the Flower Sect and the Heavenly Nether Sect were traveling together, laughing and joking all the way. The middle-aged man leading the group had rather pale skin and wore a rather luxurious purple brocade robe. His gaze kept falling towards the direction of the Flower Sect, and his eyes were full of lewd intent.

The women from the Flower Sect weren't exactly virtuous and upright; many of them had already become involved with people from the Heavenly Nether Sect. Faced with the middle-aged man's gaze, the leading elder of the Flower Sect feigned reluctance, her face showing a mixture of attraction and resistance.

next moment……

"boom!!"

An indescribable, terrifying power descended from the sky, landing directly in the center of the group. Everyone, including the four elders at the peak of the Dou Zun level, was instantly blasted to pieces by this power, blood and foam flying everywhere, and not even their souls were left behind.

Seeing this, Lin Ran above the sky let out a cold laugh and continued flying towards the direction where the Bodhi Ancient Tree was located.

Not long after Lin Ran left, a series of whooshing sounds suddenly rang out above the remains of the corpses of Tianmingzong and the others, and then figures flew past like lightning.

"Such a strong smell of blood... Wait, these are the symbols of the Flower Sect and the Heavenly Nether Sect!"

A figure seemed to notice the horrific scene below, and many people stopped to investigate, soon drawing gasps of shock.

"Even the Flower Sect and the Heavenly Nether Sect have perished tragically in this desolate ancient domain! Everyone, be careful!"

"I remember they had several peak Dou Zun level experts, I never expected they also had... that's probably a ferocious beast comparable to a half-saint!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

……

Lin Ran naturally didn't care too much about the impact of the tragic deaths of Hua Zong and Tianming Zong. At this moment, he had already arrived in this desolate ancient domain, at a place called the Ancient Domain Platform.

Legend has it that in ancient times, this place was once an ancient battlefield where many powerful warriors perished. This is why there is a strange and oppressive aura here, and it is this oppressive aura that makes this place the only place in the desolate ancient domain where ferocious beasts dare not set foot.

In addition, this ancient domain platform is located at the junction of the central and deep parts of the Desolate Ancient Domain. From here, one can directly enter the depths of the ancient domain. Therefore, this place has been chosen by many forces as the safest foothold in the Desolate Ancient Domain.

Lin Ran didn't need a place to stay; he came here simply because he sensed a familiar aura.

His figure moved swiftly, leaving no trace in space. Before anyone could notice, Lin Ran had already arrived at the Ancient Domain Platform.

Among the crowd, there were girls dressed in colorful dresses, exuding an air of nobility, and also a stunningly beautiful young woman sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed in a blue gauze dress.

"Both of them have actually cultivated to the peak of Dou Zun, that's quite impressive."

Lin Ran chuckled softly, and his figure appeared.

The moment Lin Ran appeared, the two girls opened their eyes almost simultaneously, their gazes both turning towards Lin Ran.

"Master, Lord?!"

"Aran..."

Exclamations and murmurs rang out simultaneously. Amidst the astonished gazes of countless people, Feng Qing'er ran towards Lin Ran, her expression excited.

"Sect Leader Lin!"

The Heavenly Demon Phoenixes behind Feng Qing'er also bowed to Lin Ran. Lin Ran ruffled Feng Qing'er's hair and nodded to the other Heavenly Demon Phoenixes in response.

"Not bad at all, a nine-star Dou Zun. And this aura... the power of that ancient Heavenly Phoenix, you've completely absorbed it?"

"Mmm." Feng Qing'er nodded, looking at Lin Ran curiously: "Master, why are you here too?"

"Then we came here, naturally, for the ancient Bodhi tree."

Lin Ran smiled calmly, took out several jade bottles from his storage ring, and put them into Feng Qing'er's hands: "Remember to take these pills. That ancient phoenix is ​​just a skeleton. It has been dead for too long. Although you have absorbed all its energy, it probably won't be enough to allow you to completely evolve... But after you finish these pills, it should be almost done."

"Thank you, Master!"

Without a shred of suspicion, Feng Qing'er happily accepted it, even opening one and popping it into her mouth.

The rich aroma of medicine caused astonishment among those around him, with many showing greedy expressions, while most others stared at Lin Ran with suspicion and uncertainty.

Lin Ran's cultivation as a half-saint has already spread throughout the Central Continent. Compared to them, who are only Dou Zun, this level of cultivation is a complete dimensional reduction attack!

Besides these people, there was another group of people who were also looking at Lin Ran with strange expressions.

"Xun'er..."

Gu Qingyang's gaze kept shifting between the smiling Lin Ran and Feng Qing'er, and he couldn't help but look at Xun'er beside him: "That Lin Ran guy..."

"He's always been like this."

Xun'er's gaze was calm. Lin Ran had always been like this back in Canaan Academy, and she was already used to it.

She wouldn't be jealous of Yun Yun, Cai Lin, or Xiao Yi Xian, let alone a little pet like Feng Qing'er.
