195: Chapter 195 The Sword Dynasty, with its vast resources, faces a riot in the Demon Cave.

Even when two Divine Bridge Realm experts had preached in the past, there had never been such a magnificent scene with heavenly flowers falling and diverse phenomena appearing.

It was evident just how deep Lin Ran's comprehension of the Great Dao had reached.

The two Divine Bridge Realm experts also sat upright and began to listen attentively to Lin Ran's sermon.

In this vast Heavenly God Mountain, there was no other noise except for the sound of Lin Ran's preaching and the rumbling echoes of the Dao.

"I... my cultivation has achieved a Breakthrough!!!"

A Cultivator cried out in shock, his face filled with disbelief and gratitude.

It wasn't just him; the majority of people's cultivation levels were breaking through one after another.

Even for those experts at the Divine Fire Realm and Divine Bridge Realm, their bottlenecks loosened considerably.

And this sermon was undoubtedly of immense benefit to the seven young captains.

At this moment, they felt absolute admiration and awe for Lin Ran!

Lin Ran swept a faint glance over the entire Dragon Suppressing Army and smiled, saying:

"Everyone, today's sermon ends here."

"We thank the Dragon Commander for bestowing the Dao!"

The Dragon Suppressing Army members cupped their hands in salute one after another, their words filled with immense gratitude.

Lin Ran's preaching had raised their comprehension of the Great Dao by a whole level.

It could be said that this was equivalent to bestowing the Dao; Lin Ran could be considered half a Revered Master to them!

After this sermon, Lin Ran's prestige began to rise rapidly.

Next, after giving a few brief instructions to the seven young captains, Lin Ran returned to the manor together with Li Huayin and Meng Qing.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the Heavenly Mandate Mission!]

[Reward: 18,000 destiny points, one drop of Dao Principle Divine Liquid!]

Just as he returned to the manor, the System's prompt sounded in Lin Ran's ear.

The Dao Principle Divine Liquid had no other function; its sole use was to elevate one's Dao Realm, deepening a living being's comprehension of the Great Dao.

Lin Ran swallowed the drop of Dao Principle Divine Liquid without hesitation.

Although this drop of Dao Principle Divine Liquid wouldn't cause his Dao Trend to transform into a Dao Law, the help it provided was equally immense.

This drop of Dao Principle Divine Liquid shortened the long journey toward transforming his Dao Trend into a Dao Law by a significant margin!

"Huayin, do you have any divine source stones on you?"

Lin Ran asked curiously.

"Of course I do."

Li Huayin nodded.

As the Seventh Princess of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, she naturally carried many divine source stones.

"Lin Ran, do you want divine source stones? How many do you need? Are these enough?"

Li Huayin took out a Storage Ring. Inside were stored five hundred Medium Grade divine source stones, quite a few High Grade ones, and countless Low Grade ones.

"You... truly are a little wealthy lady..."

Seeing Li Huayin take out so many divine source stones all at once, Lin Ran couldn't help but remark.

"Hehe, Lin Ran, if these divine source stones aren't enough, just tell me and I'll go ask Father Emperor for more."

"Besides, you are now the Dragon Commander. The monthly salary you receive includes several hundred divine source stones, and they are of Medium Grade quality~"

Li Huayin gave a playful smile.

"Several hundred divine source stones?! And of Medium Grade quality?!"

Lin Ran was completely shocked.

After taking the position of Dragon Commander, he could actually receive several hundred Medium Grade divine source stones every month?!

Recalling when he was still in the Feixian Sect, emptying the entire Sect's treasury had only yielded a mere few hundred divine source stones, and they were of Low Grade quality.

Compared to the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, the Feixian Sect was practically no different from a beggar!

"Where does your Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty get so many divine source stones? Is there some kind of special channel?"

Lin Ran leaned close to Li Huayin's ear and asked in a low voice.

Li Huayin reached out a finger and tapped Lin Ran's forehead:

"Lin Ran, what are you overthinking? What 'special channel' or whatever."

"Our Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty is famous for having many divine source stones because we control a divine source stone vein!"

So they just had mines at home. Never mind then...

Lin Ran had thought that the reason the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty had so many divine source stones was due to some kind of special connection!

If there were a channel, he might have been able to get the Feixian Sect involved too.

But he hadn't expected that the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty simply had mines at home.

However, this might be even better.

With his current status and position, if he used himself as a medium to build a bridge between the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty and the Feixian Sect, it would undoubtedly be a mutually beneficial matter.

As the overlord of Yun Province, although the Feixian Sect was powerful, the resources in Yun Province were truly scarce.

While the resources in the Imperial Province were abundant, there were also many forces eyeing this piece of fat meat.

If the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty and the Feixian Sect joined forces in an alliance, complementing each other, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?!

Suddenly!

Lin Ran's eyes flickered, already starting to calculate his little scheme in his heart.

"Lin Ran, I'll go collect this month's salary for you first."

"Father Emperor can't just make you work without feeding you, right?"

"Besides, you are the Saint of both the Feixian Sect and the Qingyu Pavilion, and you've come all the way to my Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty to serve as the Dragon Commander, so this salary must be increased!!"

Li Huayin hurriedly dropped those words and quickly disappeared from sight.

Looking at Li Huayin, who was so considerate of him, Lin Ran felt moved but also silently mourned for Li Wuqing for three seconds.

Li-san, your little quilted jacket seems to be leaking air...

...

Dragon Body Mountain, inside the Devil's Den.

Several figures descended here all at once, staring intently at the ancient coffin before them.

"That demon is inside this ancient coffin. Hmm... the Restriction on this ancient coffin looks decent; if one's cultivation is below the Seven-Star Divine Realm, they probably won't be able to do anything about it."

"Hehe, others might not have a way, but for our Heavenly God Mountain, this Restriction can be destroyed at will!"

"No rush. This time, we'll lure the people of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty in and kill them!"

The leader took out a Talisman shimmering with blue starlight and stuck it onto the ancient coffin.

The Talisman soon vanished.

"Alright, next, let this Devil's Den riot completely!"

...

A few days later.

Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, in the imperial court.

Civil and military officials gathered here. Li Wuqing sat high on the emperor's throne, listening expressionlessly to the attendant's report.

"Your Majesty, news came from the Old Ancestor of the Han Family yesterday that an unprecedented riot has occurred in the Devil's Den of Dragon Body Mountain. Furthermore, demons have rushed out of the den to bring calamity to the world!"

"The Old Ancestor of the Han Family intends to go and suppress the Devil's Den and has come specifically to report to Your Majesty."

The attendant said.

Li Wuqing remained expressionless, his thoughts unknown.

"Father Emperor, Devil's Den riots have happened more than once or twice, but every time it's only some low-level demons rushing out, which is not a concern at all."

"Therefore, I feel that this Devil's Den riot should be the same as the previous ones."

"Why not let me and my brothers and sisters go to the Devil's Den to hunt demons? After all, this Devil's Den is already one of the training grounds for us Princes and Princesses."

Crown Prince Li Junze stood up and said.
