350: Chapter 350 The Heavenly Mandate Stele is about to be fully collected, and a banquet is held in the palace!
Cui Wanjun and the others showed expressions of extreme agony; even high-and-mighty Immortals could not escape the inevitable pain of having their destiny severed.
Destiny could be said to be the most fundamental Foundation of a living being.
"Your Dao ends here."
Lin Ran's expression was indifferent. Looking at the defenseless Cui Wanjun and his group, he wasted no time. With a wave of his hand, he surged with majestic magical power and struck them dead one by one.
Four tokens shot out from the blood mist and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Even with Lin Ran's reaction speed, it was difficult to seize those four tokens.
"Could this be the blessing bestowed upon these four by the Heavenly Dao of the White Jade Capital?"
"It seems that after I killed them, this blessing was reclaimed by the Heavenly Dao."
Lin Ran shook his head slightly.
However, besides those four tokens that dropped, several heavenly mandate steles also emerged.
Lin Ran naturally collected these heavenly mandate steles one by one.
He carefully counted the heavenly mandate steles he currently possessed and found that, without realizing it, the number in his hands had reached sixteen.
"It seems those Walkers of the World whose heavenly mandate steles I didn't take have already met their end at the hands of Cui Wanjun and his lot."
"But what does that have to do with me? I just don't know where the final heavenly mandate stele is."
Lin Ran pondered silently to himself.
Which power's walker could the last person holding a heavenly mandate stele be?
Soon, Lin Ran stopped thinking about it. They would meet at the end of the Emperor Road sooner or later anyway; there was no rush.
On the other hand, he was indeed quite interested in this dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder.
With a light beckoning of his right hand, Lin Ran took control of the dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder.
He wiped away the Divine Soul imprints left by Cui Wanjun and the others in the dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder, then engraved his own Divine Soul imprint.
Immediately after, his Divine Soul actively detached from his Physical Body, ascended the dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder, and walked step by step toward the palaces at the end.
As he reached the top of the dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder, a wisp of colorful clouds supported the soles of his feet, causing his Divine Soul to gradually draw closer to the palaces.
He slowly pushed open the palace gates and looked inside, instantly stunned by the scene before him.
Within these palaces, an aura of Immortal tranquility and auspiciousness was fully displayed.
Dense Immortal Qi swirled and steamed; Fairies were charming and enchanting, singing and dancing in the courtyard with fluttering sleeves.
This appeared to be a grand feast. On the main seat sat a middle-aged man wearing golden robes, with a heroic countenance and an impressive bearing that exuded a noble imperial aura.
Beside him was a woman with the grace of a mother to the world, her brow filled with a gentleness like flowing water.
Further down, various Immortals were seated according to their rank.
Even the Four Heavenly Kings, who had lent their Divine Power to Cui Wanjun and the others, were only worthy of sitting in the lowest seats, appearing completely insignificant.
Lin Ran was dazed, never expecting that he would truly see the legendary Immortals within these palaces.
Although these Immortals were certainly not real, they already possessed the true spirit, form, aura, and bearing of Immortals. The shock they brought to Lin Ran was unimaginable!
"When one is successful in life, one must enjoy oneself to the fullest; do not let the golden goblet face the moon empty!"
"Come, come! Feast with Immortals, drink with Immortals, be an Immortal with Immortals!"
A man dressed in white, handsome and elegant with a drifting Immortal Qi, seemed somewhat out of place.
He actually stood up directly, passed by the crowd of Immortals, and came straight to Lin Ran.
His gaze seemed to traverse eternal time and space, crossing layers of obstacles from a distant and endless place, as his true self met with Lin Ran in person.
He gently grasped the white jade wine cup in his hand and held it to Lin Ran's lips, forcing Lin Ran to drink the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Having drunk my wine, you are now this Immortal's person. This is a treatment those four boys earlier couldn't even get."
"Man of destiny, the Divine Fire Realm is not your midpoint, nor is it your end; it is the starting point of your path of Cultivation!"
"Your path to Immortal Ascension... has only just begun!"
"This dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder is a meeting gift from this Immortal. As for how much of its mysteries you can comprehend, that is entirely up to you."
The man in white gave a wicked smile, and his figure turned into a wisp of blue smoke, vanishing in an instant.
As for Lin Ran, after drinking that cup of wine, he only felt his Divine Soul becoming light and airy, as if he were placed above the clouds yet also deep within the white embrace of the Fairies.
One moment he was soaring to the clouds, the next he was deep in a quagmire; his vision was blurred and hazy, and everything he saw was filled with Immortal charm.
"The dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder, refined from dragon tendons and phoenix marrow, depicts the Immortals among Immortals, the charm of all Immortals."
"Feast with Immortals, drink with Immortals, be an Immortal with Immortals..."
Lin Ran's Divine Soul was dizzy, and in the next second, he fell completely into a deep sleep, his body enveloped in a hazy Immortal charm.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Lin Ran's Physical Body had its eyes tightly closed. Under the protection of the dragon-phoenix auspicious ladder, his body appeared solemn and majestic, inviolable by all laws.
Even experts with Divine Bridge Realm or Heavenly Palace Realm cultivation probably couldn't do anything to Lin Ran right now!
...
On the Emperor Road, within the eighteenth Ancient Star—the Polis Star.
An unspeakable, indescribable figure slowly opened its eyes, its gaze looking toward the Void Realm like torches, resembling two sharp, invincible swords.
"Dead... the Four Little Kings of Destiny personally appointed by this deity have all died at the hands of that Lin Ran!"
"Humph! Good! Very good indeed! Lin Ran, you've truly brought this deity surprise after surprise!"
The figure's brow was filled with piercing coldness, and a visible killing intent surfaced in its eyes, along with a deep greed and an ungraspable calculation.
He was none other than the Heavenly Dao of the White Jade Capital!!
"What's the panic? I told you long ago that those so-called Four Little Kings of Destiny were nothing but a bunch of nobodies."
"To truly deal with that Lin Ran, doesn't it still depend on this Ancestor?"
A child who had been sitting cross-legged slowly opened his eyes, exhaling vast white smoke from his nose and mouth.
"Humph! Do not be careless. That Lin Ran is quite extraordinary; underestimating him will lead to a great loss!"
The White Jade Capital's Heavenly Dao snorted coldly and reminded him.
"Rest assured, I have already seized the creation Opportunity within the Polis Star. Having transformed into creation itself and possessing peerless Divine Might, why would I fear a mere Lin Ran?"
"It's just as well; I will settle both my new and old grudges with Lin Ran together when the time comes!"
The child spoke in a tone beyond his years.
He was none other than the Old Ancestor of the Nangong Family—Nangong Wentian!
He had performed Possession on his own family's young Prodigy, but his Physical Body was destroyed by Lin Ran, leaving only his Divine Soul to escape.
Afterward, he happened to flee to Baiding City and unexpectedly found the deceased young Sect Master of the Yellow Sand Sect, whom he then possessed.
Furthermore, because this corpse had already been tainted by the aura of the bizarre dao, a point of balance had been reached between the two.
In other words, the current Nangong Wentian could not only use normal Divine Power but also the power of the bizarre dao!
