Chapter 231 - 105: Why is Her Magical Power Out of Control? Preparing to Usurp the Nest

’So she finally swallowed it?’

Inside a side hall of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Rosy light billowed from the familiar bronze Large Cauldron where Jiang Lan sat cross-legged.

At this moment, he seemed to sense something. His half-closed eyes opened, revealing a peculiar glint.

That Rejuvenating Turtle Breath Pill wasn’t so easy to digest. The happier Xie Jianjia was now, the more she would cry later.

His mind quieted, and he paid the matter no further attention. Everything was proceeding exactly as he had anticipated.

Now, all he had to do was wait patiently to claim his prey.

A boiling sound filled the Large Cauldron. If anyone were to get close to Jiang Lan’s body right now, they would hear a sound like a roaring tsunami surging from within him.

Each of his meridians was like a celestial Immortal Path, with vast rivers and oceans surging through them. They were shrouded in a hazy immortal mist, shimmering with a sacred, brilliant light.

Gurgling medicinal power filled the air, completely covering his fair, translucent, jade-like skin. His black hair floated freely, half-submerged in the liquid.

The hall was filled with a hazy, dreamlike mist, within which fragments of Runes could be seen flashing through the Void.

Each Rune fragment contained a profound Divine Power Mark. It was as if the divine forms of ancient Fierce Beasts were roaring ferociously within them, their divine radiance shimmering, blazing, and blinding as they continuously sank into Jiang Lan’s body.

Every cell in his body greedily devoured this abundant medicinal power, as if reawakening.

Every night since his return to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, his parents had prepared this cauldron of medicinal bath for him, filled with numerous precious Celestial and Earthly Treasures.

There was True Blood from ancient descendant species and rare Heaven and Earth Treasures, all of which were priceless.

It wasn’t an exaggeration on Jiang Lan’s part; a single drop of this medicinal liquid would be enough to cause countless cultivators in the outside world to fight madly for it.

After clearly understanding the infinite potential of his current Immortal Embryo, his parents were completely at ease, not worried in the slightest that his meridians would burst.

Because Jiang Lan cultivated the Infinite Blood River, his original source of Magical Power was the Destiny Dao Fruit.

After completely devouring the endless blood-colored mist on the Blood Red Plateau, even he didn’t know how vast and surging the Life Force contained within his Destiny Dao Fruit had become.

He only knew that if his physical strength and cultivation could keep up, relying solely on the Destiny Dao Fruit as his source of Magical Power would make it effortlessly easy to kill a Sixth Realm expert with a single palm strike.

This was because his Life Force was practically inexhaustible, like a vast, boundless ocean.

Now, after undergoing Reverse Innate and forging a Flawless Immortal Embryo, he had cultivated the Phoenix Void Primordial Scripture, giving rise to a second path within his body.

His originally depleted and barren Spirit Sea was now being madly inundated and nourished by a flood of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi due to his recent cultivation.

This was the universally acknowledged path of cultivation: first the physical body, then Qi Cultivation, and finally, opening the Spirit Sea.

However, because he had previously cultivated the Infinite Blood River, Jiang Lan had skipped this step entirely. This was why anyone who scanned his body would find no trace of cultivation fluctuations.

In reality, however, he had long ago cultivated the White Bone Visualization Technique, condensed his Divine Soul within his Mud Ball Palace’s Sea of Consciousness, and successfully illuminated the Nether Spring. This connected his Mud Ball Palace with his Dantian, allowing him to successfully step into the Illuminating Nether Realm.

Due to the unique nature of the White Bone Visualization Technique, the moment he stepped into the Illuminating Nether Realm, a Soul Palace had already been forged within his Mud Ball Palace. A Spirit Soul Minion sat enthroned within, looking down on everything with indifference.

The difference was that other people’s Soul Palaces were actual palaces, while his was a White Bone Daoist Temple.

If one ignored the fluctuations of his cultivation aura, Jiang Lan’s current Cultivation Realm should actually be the Soul Palace Realm, not the Illuminating Nether Realm.

This was something he had only noticed during his cultivation in recent days. Typically, cultivators at this stage would first illuminate the Nether Spring and condense their Divine Soul before forging a Soul Palace. He, however, had done it in reverse.

Now, if he wanted to break through to the next realm, he had to condense a Divine Power Mark and learn or comprehend his own Lifebound Divine Techniques.

In the Divine Power Realm, the most important thing was for the Spirit Soul Minion to mobilize the Heaven and Earth Void Qi and draw upon the Magical Power in the Spirit Sea. This would create a Circulation of Heaven and Earth both inside and outside the body, forming what was known as a domain prototype.

Only after forming a domain prototype could one step into the Dharma Realm and create a true domain. Once the domain was unfurled, almost no external objects could touch the user, placing them in an innately invincible position.

It was even more impossible for cultivators below the Dharma Realm to get close.

Therefore, in this world, Seventh Realm cultivators were truly a watershed existence.

With Jiang Lan’s current strength, killing a Sixth Realm cultivator was easy. However, dealing with a Seventh Realm existence would be very difficult; success was almost impossible.

A situation like Xiao Yingyue’s was exceedingly rare. If she had possessed even a sliver of cultivation at the time, it would have been impossible for the Jiang Lan of back then to take her so easily.

’This current cultivation path is actually the most orthodox one. The Blood Immortal Sect’s Infinite Blood River was, in a sense, a shortcut I took. It’s not suitable for me to use openly right now...’

’In other words, this is actually my second trump card. My first is still the Destiny Dao Fruit. No matter how many techniques there are in this world, what could be simpler than directly manipulating the threads of life?’

’It’s just a pity that I’ve gained so little fortune lately. What on earth is Chu Chan up to? Could she have run into trouble after returning to the Jasper Pool Sect? Still, Ling Zhuyun should help her out for my sake.’
