Chapter 220: The Great Desolate Immortal Sect
The Tai Chuan Technique was far superior to ordinary cultivation methods, and now, under the influence of the chaotic immortal spiritual energy, Lan Xiaobu's cultivation speed was naturally even faster.
In just a few days, he had broken through to the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm.
As Lan Xiaobu reached the peak of the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm and was about to face the Earth Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, Gu Dao also began his own tribulation.
At this time, everyone was frantically cultivating.
Whether it was Lan Xiaobu or Gu Dao undergoing their tribulations, no one paid much attention.
After all, if you looked around, there were immortals undergoing tribulations everywhere.
Lan Xiaobu couldn’t worry about Gu Dao right now.
His own tribulation had already begun.
Eighteen consecutive bolts of lightning struck down, crashing onto Lan Xiaobu’s body.
Unlike others, Lan Xiaobu didn’t use any defensive treasures during his tribulation.
Lan Xiaobu hadn’t yet reached a higher level in body refining, but he knew very well that the tribulation lightning would temper his body far better than any ordinary cultivation method.
This tribulation was akin to the lightning from the beginning of chaos, carrying the pure essence of chaos, making it even more suitable for his cultivation.
As for not using defensive treasures, even if the lightning severely injured him, Lan Xiaobu didn’t care.
Right now, everyone was focused on their own cultivation, and no one would pay attention to him.
Besides, his body refining was different from others.
As long as he had a breath left, he wouldn’t be killed.
The first wave of eighteen lightning bolts shattered Lan Xiaobu’s bones and tore his flesh apart, leaving him bloodied and battered.
From a distance, Fu Qianhan watched in horror.
What kind of tribulation method was this?
Lan Xiaobu, however, was already used to it.
This level of pain was nothing to him.
Just from the first wave of lightning, he had already touched the threshold of the Earth Immortal Realm.
The second wave of eighteen lightning bolts struck again.
Guided by the Tai Chuan Technique, the lightning not only continued to tear apart Lan Xiaobu’s bones and flesh but also brought him an endless supply of chaotic lightning energy.
Boom! With just the second wave of lightning, Lan Xiaobu broke through the threshold of the Earth Immortal Realm.
When the third wave of nine bolts and the fourth wave of eighteen bolts struck simultaneously, the Tai Chuan Technique caused a vortex of chaotic immortal spiritual energy to form around Lan Xiaobu.
At this moment, the violent immortal spiritual energy mixed with the lightning energy rapidly increased Lan Xiaobu’s strength.
He could feel his divine sense and immortal essence skyrocketing.
By the time the fifth wave of lightning struck, Lan Xiaobu’s injuries were rapidly healing, and his cultivation continued to climb.
When the sixth wave of nine bolts struck, Lan Xiaobu decisively broke through to the second level of the Earth Immortal Realm.
Just as Lan Xiaobu was waiting for the next wave of lightning, the tribulation clouds descended upon him.
Fu Qianhan was stunned.
He had seen others undergo tribulations before, and he himself had recently undergone the Golden Immortal Tribulation.
But he had never seen anyone undergo a tribulation like Lan Xiaobu’s—swift, decisive, and over in an instant.
However, he quickly realized that this was the Immortal World, and Lan Xiaobu was undergoing the Earth Immortal Tribulation, which naturally wouldn’t be as prolonged and torturous as the Golden Immortal Tribulation.
The tribulation had returned to the standard eighty-one bolts.
Lan Xiaobu let out a sigh of relief.
The eighty-one-bolt tribulation was normal.
The previous nineteen-bolt tribulation he had undergone was the anomaly.
Wait, Lan Xiaobu suddenly thought of the nineteen-bolt tribulation he had undergone before, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
He had always thought that if the matter of killing Fu Jing was exposed, he would be exposed to the eyes of the Saints.
But now it seemed he had been too optimistic.
In fact, even if the incident with Fu Jing hadn’t happened, he had already been exposed to the Saints.
The reason was the nineteen-bolt tribulation.
Think about it, where in the Great Desolate Universe would there be a nineteen-bolt tribulation? How could Lan Xiaobu, who had just entered the Human Immortal Realm, undergo a nineteen-bolt tribulation? If he didn’t have some great secret, who would believe it?
The Saints hadn’t come for him yet, probably because they were too busy.
The main reason was that those big shots were in a hurry to merge the first and second heavens of the Great Desolate Universe.
Fortunately, before the big shots could merge the first two heavens, the five universes were shattered by the chaotic energy leaking from the cracks in the void.
These shattered universes were then integrated by a powerful senior, who fused them with the chaotic realms to form a new Immortal World—the Five Universes Immortal World.
“Master Bu, I’ve passed the beast tribulation!” A somewhat childish voice came from afar.
“Gu Dao?” Lan Xiaobu stared blankly at Gu Dao.
After undergoing the tribulation, Gu Dao hadn’t changed much.
He still had a golden…
Wait, Gu Dao’s claws had changed.
The sharp claws had retracted, replaced by thick pads, like those of a cat…
“Gu Dao, you can talk now?” Lan Xiaobu finally realized.
Gu Dao said proudly, “Yes, I absorbed a lot of chaotic energy during the tribulation, so I can talk earlier.”
“Why are you calling me Master Bu?”
Gu Dao scratched his head with a paw and said honestly, “I noticed that when you’re unhappy, you like to call yourself ‘Grandpa Xiaobu’ to balance things out. So I thought I’d call you Master Bu to keep you balanced.”
Lan Xiaobu understood.
This guy was worried that if he got angry, he might cook him, so he called him Master Bu to keep him happy.
“Brother Lan, thank you.” Fu Qianhan finally had a chance to thank Lan Xiaobu.
If it weren’t for Lan Xiaobu, even if he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, it wouldn’t have been now.
Even with the chaotic energy, he would have had to wait for some time.
Chang Qingshuang and Qi Hanfu had also stopped cultivating.
Chang Qingshuang had reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm in a short time with the help of the chaotic immortal spiritual energy, while Qi Hanfu was at the late stage of the True Immortal Realm.
Now that the chaotic immortal spiritual energy was becoming increasingly scarce, staying here to cultivate didn’t make much sense.
After all, this was just a remote wilderness.
“The world has undergone drastic changes, and I believe everyone knows the reason. Brother Qianhan, do you have any plans?” Lan Xiaobu asked.
Fu Qianhan had also sensed the changes in the heavens.
After a moment of silence, he said, “Now there are excellent cultivation caves everywhere, and mountains filled with chaotic immortal spiritual energy are abundant. Many people are seizing these immortal holy lands. I want to rebuild the Medicine Fragrance Valley. Brother Lan, I’ve spent my life cultivating and have no experience in founding a sect. Why don’t you join me in rebuilding the Medicine Fragrance Valley? I’m not cut out to be a sect master, but you could be.”
Chang Qingshuang and Qi Hanfu didn’t speak, but they both looked at Lan Xiaobu.
They now fully understood that Lan Xiaobu was no ordinary person.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to rescue them from Yan Chengjian’s clutches.
Lan Xiaobu pondered for a moment and said, “Originally, my plan was for Brother Qianhan to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, and then we would find a way to attack the Yan Clan Immortal Manor to avenge the Medicine Fragrance Valley. But now, with the drastic changes in the world, the Yan Clan Immortal Manor might have been displaced or even destroyed. Moreover, the Five Universes Immortal World now has countless cultivators from unfamiliar universes and many new immortal lands. Everyone is scrambling to seize the best places to establish themselves. I predict that after a brief period of stability, the Five Universes Immortal World will descend into a long period of chaos and slaughter. If we don’t quickly find a place to establish ourselves and improve our strength, we might be left behind in the Five Universes Immortal World, watching others reach higher realms.”
“Exactly!” Before Fu Qianhan and the others could respond, Gu Dao eagerly chimed in.
Chang Qingshuang and Qi Hanfu, who had just stopped cultivating, were surprised to hear Gu Dao speak.
Fu Qianhan also said, “That’s what I was thinking, which is why I wanted to rebuild the sect.”
Lan Xiaobu continued, “We definitely need to rebuild the sect. I believe that when the Medicine Fragrance Valley was first established, the name was chosen out of necessity. The name of a sect greatly influences its future potential. If the three of you are willing to join me, we can turn the Medicine Fragrance Valley into a branch of a new sect. If not, I will eventually destroy the Yan Clan Immortal Manor, kill Xing Chenxiang and Ling Yuansha, and seek justice for the Medicine Fragrance Valley.”
Fu Qianhan and the others understood Lan Xiaobu’s meaning.
In the new Immortal World, countless sects would rise.
Founding a sect or having a strong sect would be a decisive advantage in the pursuit of the Great Dao.
Lan Xiaobu clearly didn’t want to continue using the name Medicine Fragrance Valley, as it wasn’t grand or imposing enough to align with the Great Dao.
“What name do you want to give the sect?” Fu Qianhan asked.
“The Great Desolate Immortal Sect,” Lan Xiaobu said without hesitation.
“Ah…” Fu Qianhan was shocked and quickly said, “No, that name absolutely cannot be used.”
Chang Qingshuang, who had been silent, also spoke up, “Brother Lan, Senior Brother is right. The name Great Desolate Immortal Sect will bring endless trouble. First, the Saints won’t allow such a sect to exist. Second, the powerful figures from the Great Desolate Universe in the Five Universes Immortal World won’t allow it. Third, cultivators from other universes in the Five Universes Immortal World will immediately try to destroy the Great Desolate Immortal Sect once they learn of it.”
Qi Hanfu added, “There might even be other powerful figures from the Great Desolate Universe who want to use that name, leading to two Great Desolate Immortal Sects.”
Lan Xiaobu nodded approvingly at Chang Qingshuang, “Senior Sister Qingshuang is right. Choosing this name would indeed bring endless trouble. But I’m someone who likes to meddle in others’ affairs. When I was trapped in the Yan Clan Immortal Manor’s Soul Refining Cauldron, I saw countless innocent people who had died unjustly. At the time, I could only save one person, and that person ended up falling into the chaotic void, their fate unknown.”
“Yes, we saw that,” Qi Hanfu quickly said.
Lan Xiaobu continued, “The Yan Clan Immortal Manor committed countless atrocities, yet they still held the reputation of being great benefactors. Hah, with the Nine Heavens under the control of the Saints, I refuse to believe that no one knew about this. Yet, the Yan Clan Immortal Manor still exists. ‘Sweep the snow in front of your own door, don’t worry about the frost on others’ roofs’—this is the unspoken rule of the Nine Heavens cultivation world. As long as it doesn’t affect their own interests, who cares about others? But if it does affect their interests, even if it’s part of the Nine Heavens, they’ll cut it off.”
Lan Xiaobu chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Hah, not to mention distant matters, even the Medicine Fragrance Valley—a few disciples with some background could come and destroy this ancient sect without a second thought. If not for the sudden changes in the world, no one would have cared about the Medicine Fragrance Valley. In the Nine Heavens Immortal World, how many innocent sects like the Medicine Fragrance Valley are there? How many evil sects like the Yan Clan Immortal Manor are there? Yes, founding the Great Desolate Immortal Sect will bring countless troubles. But I still want to do it. If the road is uneven, someone has to level it. Since I, Lan Xiaobu, have stepped onto this path, I will level the uneven parts. Any sect with great ambitions must endure trials in its early days. I hope that the trials of the Five Universes Immortal World will end with the rise of the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.”
As he spoke, Lan Xiaobu looked up at the vast sky, “The senior who merged the Five Universes Immortal World with great determination was ultimately betrayed. Why did he do it? In fact, whether he did it or not had no bearing on him. He was still a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the vast universe. But he did it anyway. Some things need to be done. If you don’t do it, and I don’t do it, what difference will there be between the Five Universes Immortal World and the Nine Heavens? That senior’s efforts would have been wasted by a group of selfish individuals. Unfortunately, I can’t wait until I’m stronger to found the Great Desolate Immortal Sect, because by then, it will no longer belong to us, and I won’t be able to achieve what I want.”
Lan Xiaobu thought back to when he left Earth.
To prevent alien invaders from taking over Earth and to restore its blue skies and white clouds, he had resolutely left Earth.
In the end, although Earth had purified itself and the alien invasion had been averted due to his intervention.
He held a piece of pure land in his heart, a desire, a persistence, which drove him to do these things.
Otherwise, how would he be any different from the powerful figures of the Nine Heavens? Why would the Cosmic Dimension Matrix remain with him? Perhaps it was precisely because of this pure land in his heart that he had come this far and possessed the Cosmic Dimension Matrix.
People are selfish, and Lan Xiaobu was no exception.
But selfishness shouldn’t be built on the foundation of an entire world, nor on the lives and deaths of countless people.
“Why can’t we wait until we’re stronger to found the Great Desolate Immortal Sect?” Qi Hanfu asked, puzzled.
