Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Li Lan remained silent, but the evil spirit hurriedly said, "That person is an anomaly."

"No one knows where he came from, but during the ancient war, he killed several god-kings, which saddened the gods and made them afraid to descend again. But then, he suddenly disappeared and we don't know where he went."

"When he reappeared, the ancient war had already ended. Later I heard that he wanted to go to some underworld to evolve reincarnation... I don't know anything about what happened after that."

After hearing this, Li Lan couldn't help but feel a strong sense of longing.

Indeed, the masters of the Black Emperor and the White Emperor were legendary figures even in the mortal realm.

In the ancient war, he once single-handedly defeated so many gods that they dared not descend!

"From this perspective, reincarnation... is extremely important."

Li Lan murmured.

The two things, namely, the scriptures and reincarnation, are considered taboo by the entire mortal realm and even by all the gods; they must be of utmost importance.

Now that both of these things are in Li Lan's hands, the pressure he faces is perhaps unimaginable.

"Where do the gods come from? How do they influence the mortal realm?" Li Lan continued to ask.

The evil spirit said, "The abode of the gods is naturally the divine realm. When cultivators in the mortal realm become strong enough, they will also ascend to become gods... Only the divine realm can maintain the mythology's invincibility and accommodate the survival of those powerful beings."

"Otherwise, if one remains in the mortal realm, one's life and cultivation will continuously diminish, making it impossible to achieve eternity."

Upon hearing this, Li Lan nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

"What use are incense and faith to the gods?" Li Lan asked again.

"To exist in the divine realm, one also needs support, and incense offerings and faith are the foundation for gods to remain in the divine realm. Once incense offerings and faith are lost, gods may fall out and reappear in the mortal world..."

The evil spirit made no attempt to hide anything, because what was considered taboo by the forces of the mortal world was simply common knowledge to him, not a secret at all:

"Once it falls into the mortal realm... then it can no longer be called a god, and will become a calamity for the mortal realm!"

I've told you everything you wanted!

The demon spoke, saying, "Now, you can let me go."

After thinking carefully for a long time, Li Lan asked one last question: "What's your name?"

The evil spirit said, "May you live without death."

Li Lan nodded: "You can escape this sea of ​​suffering for now."

Li Lan waved his hand, and the various hellish powers subsided, but he showed no intention of letting Zhu Wusi leave.

"You...you broke your promise?!"

Zhu Wusi looked at Li Lan with some anger.

"good,"

Li Lan said calmly, "You're not convinced?"

He definitely won't let Zhu Wusi leave.

Zhu Wusi stared at Li Lan, his eyes filled with barely suppressed hatred, but in the end he still lowered his head.

They remained silent.

Since he was demoted to a minor god who suppresses scriptures, he has been separated from the divine realm. He has no source of incense and faith, nor any spiritual stones or medicines to replenish his power. After living in the mortal world for a long time, his own power has long since been reduced to less than one-thousandth.

Otherwise, why would he have tricked Li Lan into finding something to replenish his spiritual energy? The amount of spiritual energy Li Lan absorbed was negligible to someone of his level, but in his desperation, he didn't care about anything else.

It was precisely because of his own weakness that he was unable to suppress Li Lan's soul, which was at the Shanglu level, and could only rely on the power of the rules at the quasi-immortal level to entangle Li Lan to death.

If he still possessed even a fraction of his former strength, he would be able to break free from the cycle of reincarnation by now, because Li Lan's cultivation level is not strong enough and his application of reincarnation is not thorough enough.

pity……

Unfortunately, he was powerless to fight back!

"The divine realm is ruthless, so why should you continue to serve it? Reflect on your actions in the cycle of reincarnation. I can give you a chance: next time we meet, follow me, or die."

Li Lan spoke calmly, then turned and left.

……

Back in the cave.

"Gods reside in the divine realm, and their descent comes at a price."

Having figured this out, Li Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"The most important thing now is still to find the 'Mortal Scripture,' and also to collect resources along the way, including various spirit stones, spirit herbs, and so on..."

The intense divine sense search outside has disappeared, indicating that the pursuers from various forces have left.

His qi and blood changed, and his appearance instantly transformed into that of a middle-aged man.

Generally speaking, in the mortal realm, one needs to cultivate to the "Bagua Fixed Form" level to have one's physical bones spiritualized before one can slightly change one's appearance. The effect is only similar to a simple plastic surgery. However, since Li Lan has qi and blood, he can withstand more soul power, so changing his appearance is naturally effortless.

He calmly walked out of the cave and randomly chose a direction to go. Before long, he arrived at a small town.

This town was originally inhabited only by ordinary people, but because of the major events that occurred in the Crimson Blood Mountains, many cultivators have come here, and many people are discussing it in the teahouse.

"We've been searching for five days, but we haven't found any trace of Li Lan."

"Heh, countless experts from various forces have arrived, their divine senses have scanned this land countless times. If they were still here, would it be our turn?"

"Hey, ten thousand top-grade spirit stones! If we find a clue to his whereabouts, we'll be rich!"

Most cultivators come because of the exorbitant bounties offered by various powerful forces.

They held up pictures of Li Lan and booklets containing detailed information about her. Some powerful figures were even handing them out for free, and Li Lan took one as well.

"Li Lan was born on the Primordial Emperor Star. After entering the Ziwei Star Region, he disappeared without a trace until a year ago when he reappeared on the Southern Radiance Star and later entered the Dao Palace..."

"Ancient divine bodies cannot cultivate, but their soul power is extremely strong, possibly reaching the realm of the Three Lifetimes of All Things."

The introduction was very detailed.

Li Lan watched with great interest, and when he glanced at the bounties offered by the various forces, he was tempted!

In the sacred land of Ziwei, a bounty of 100,000 top-grade spirit stones is offered for Li Lan's head, and a bounty of 10,000 stones is offered for any clues.

The Daoist Temple is offering a reward of Li Lan's head, one Five Elements Pill, and 5,000 top-grade spirit stones for any clues.

The Mingguang Sect is offering a reward of one scroll of scripture; whoever provides clues can directly enter the sect as a guest elder…

Everything!

"Have you heard? The Holy Maiden Cihang suffered a great loss at Li Lan's hands this time, and I heard she was seriously injured!"

At this moment, someone spoke up.

"That's right. It's said that she was seriously injured. Now, throughout Zifu Prefecture, they're announcing to all directions that they're looking for a believer with profound Buddhist faith to heal her. Whoever is chosen can become a disciple of the Cihang Holy Land and will also receive thousands of top-grade spirit stones!"

"Really? This is a great opportunity to get close to the Holy Maiden Cihang!"

"Let's go and see. The Cihang Holy Land selects disciples based solely on fate, not aptitude. Maybe we can soar to great heights too!"

Many people were excited. Since they couldn't find any trace of Li Lan, going to Cihang Holy Land to try their luck was a good idea.

Even Li Lan, who was in the corner, felt a stirring in her heart.

He was pondering how to find the next underworld when he suddenly had an idea.

The Dao Palace is no longer of any value to him. The Dao Palace only has clues about two underworlds, and now Li Lan has already helped them pass on.

Next, following the path of Cihang Holy Land is the best course of action.

After all, Miao Wuyu was determined to obtain that scripture, which meant that she would keep searching for its whereabouts in the underworld. With the power of the Cihang Holy Land, it would definitely be more efficient than Li Lan searching like a headless fly!

With this in mind, he immediately set off to seek refuge with the Cihang Holy Land!
