Chapter 1658: Chapter 158: Facing the Jiang Family Directly
However, Lee Ran didn’t completely follow Zhou Yan’s arrangements. For instance, regarding the situation with ’Ji Wu’, he had his own plans.
"I will embed part of the cultivation technique’s inheritance into your soul in the form of a mark and then pass it on to you at the appropriate time."
"As for the ’Origin’ soul concerning Ji Wu, we could introduce a kind of misleading information, which might seem more genuine and suitable."
Lee Ran suggested.
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, nodding his head, saying, "That’s also fine. I’ve laid out the general strategy. As for future changes, you can handle them as you see fit. However, there are two points you must remember. If you leave this place, you might forget some things due to the rules."
Zhou Yan said.
Lee Ran nonchalantly replied, "Don’t worry, I can remember anything. I have a treasure with incredibly defiant abilities, and I... don’t even know its origins. Speaking of which, do you know the origins of this item?"
Lee Ran spoke as he took out the blood-colored Crystal Coffin.
Zhou Yan gazed at the object for a long time but couldn’t unravel it either. Its origin was far more defiant than he imagined.
Perhaps it transcends the timeline; otherwise, Lee Ran would not have entrusted it to him at a crucial moment.
However, when Zhou Yan went to the Emperor Soul Clan, he did not accept this item.
"Keep this item, it will be a kind of safeguard for you when necessary. For you, it is the true trump card to maintain invincibility."
Zhou Yan said earnestly.
Lee Ran nodded and put the item away.
Initially, he thought Zhou Yan could decipher its origins, but even someone as strong as Zhou Yan from the ’future’ couldn’t unravel it.
Thus, the item’s power is self-evident.
Lee Ran felt pleasantly surprised.
At that moment, Lee Ran enhanced the compatibility between his soul and the blood-colored Crystal Coffin, then imprinting his memory with this scenario.
In doing so, if the memory is synchronized with the Crystal Coffin, it won’t disappear due to any rules.
Seeing this, all of Zhou Yan’s worries instantly vanished.
This is a terrifying way to break the ’unable to remember’ rule. Such a method is direct, powerful, and immensely effective.
His gaze towards Lee Ran sincerely contained more admiration.
In truth, Zhou Yan deeply understood Lee Ran’s prowess.
Even though he is now someone behind Lee Ran, it’s merely a change in the timeline. Lee Ran doesn’t entirely follow Zhou Yan’s arrangements; he has his own considerations in many areas.
It’s precisely because of this that Zhou Yan feels Lee Ran is truly remarkable.
After all, the current Zhou Yan and Lee Ran are not on the same level. Zhou Yan comes from the future, a Holy Spirit Evil Venerable level Sovereign, a true Evil Spirit Dominator, whereas Lee Ran has merely passed through the Void Thunder Tribulation, arriving through the Shattering Void in the Soul Path.
The gap between them is immeasurable.
Yet, even so, Lee Ran has shown an incredibly smart side, putting Zhou Yan completely at ease.
Indeed, Zhou Yan was genuinely unconcerned about Lee Ran’s abilities, sketched out some matters in detail; yet in key areas, Zhou Yan didn’t elaborate.
Sometimes, for a smart person, speaking too much can be a hindrance, a shackle.
Giving Lee Ran freedom to act proves better.
As for the changes in form, Zhou Yan’s understanding is undoubtedly profound.
Therefore, after exchanging thoughts with Lee Ran, they couldn’t help but look at each other and smile.
"Initially, even when you shared many of my secrets, I still held some doubts, as a strong individual can sense others’ thoughts. But now, I don’t doubt at all."
Lee Ran sighed.
He felt quite emotional.
Ultimately, he completely believed the matter.
"I know you sometimes doubt, but handing over your brother’s soul itself is a gamble. You know, you can’t fool me with anything."
Zhou Yan smiled.
"Indeed, so I can only use empty words and keep my heart calm, without thinking about anything. Yet even when I wasn’t thinking, you continued discussing future strategies and the cultivation direction of the Xingyi Fist."
"That is the cultivation path I explored. You pushed this path to the extreme, forming the King’s Mark, a path I cannot imagine. Yet I see this path’s bright future.
This point confirms our relationship completely."
"Brother, I’m sorry for doubting you."
Lee Ran apologized.
"It’s nothing, I could traverse time thanks to your future support. The evolution and distortion of the timeline stem from this. I couldn’t understand many things before, but now, with my current situation, everything becomes clear."
"I’ve seen my future self, so regarding your newfound self, feel free to take action."
"Yes, I will. Don’t worry, this time, united as brothers, we’ll certainly fight back to the Emperor Soul Clan."
Lee Ran said firmly.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Secondly, you must be cautious of the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Buddhas; this technique of borrowing a knife to kill is truly ruthless."
"I know, I’ve never underestimated those existences."
Lee Ran said.
"Oh?"
Zhou Yan was surprised.
"Earth, the civilization and cultural inheritance of the Earth Ancestral Land, you should know, contains some relevant information."
"Indeed, such as Journey to the West begins with the journey to the Thirty-Three Heavens Road, which is actually the journey of annihilation on the Thirty-Three Heavens Road. And Feng Shen is the transformation of the great calamity of Ten Thousand Immortals and Buddhas’ extinction, the so-called ’Feng Shen’ is one of the reasons for the opening of the Heavenly Pivot Ancient Town."
"Hmm, those are unknown to me, but through these, one can see many false things, which are better left unsaid. Brother, although I am not strong in every aspect now, if I don’t want to be schemed against, then no one can calculate against me. Because of the Blood Crystal Coffin, I can be said to possess the ’Undying Body,’ so I can always place myself in peril to be reborn, thus, I am already invincible."
"Brother, after all, a trump card is just a trump card; do not rely on it too much, otherwise, success by it, and failure by it. And I always feel, this item is not simple."
"I understand. But... if even the time axis cannot affect this thing, brother, then you should know, these are simply just undue worries."
Lee Ran said.
Zhou Yan contemplated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Indeed."
"Brother, do you have any other arrangements?"
Lee Ran asked.
"Not for the time being. Hmm—oh right, I’ll teach you a Tao, just right, with this Tao, you can comprehend the Soul-controlling Dao. This way, your method of being reborn from peril can be endlessly changed."
"Great."
Lee Ran’s gaze immediately became fervent.
In an instant, Zhou Yan pointed his hand towards Lee Ran’s forehead, and immediately, streams of Soul Power dispersed and formed a mark of inheritance, entering Lee Ran’s forehead.
In an instant, Lee Ran showed a look of astonishment.
For quite a while, he remained in a state of intense shock.
"So strong, Infinite Soul Slash, if combined with the Soul-controlling changes of Xingyi Fist, the soul is like clusters of light, truly endless."
"Indeed."
Zhou Yan nodded affirmatively.
"This is excellent, then, brother, let us now head to the Heavenly God Plane, to the Jiang family."
"Good. Everything according to plan."
Zhou Yan nodded, then transformed into a ray of light that entered Lee Ran’s forehead.
Lee Ran immediately activated his soul, gathered Zhou Yan’s soul, then with a move, he had already passed through the Void, leaving this place.
Sure enough, after leaving, memories became blurred, but soon, the Blood Crystal Coffin dispersed streams of Soul Power, re-imprinting a set of memories.
This memory, like his own bloodline origin and inheritance, instantly restored Lee Ran’s memory, and he immediately understood the reasons and outcomes.
Now, he entered the Heavenly God Plane, and immediately headed towards where the Jiang family was located.
...
Upon entering the True God Plane, Lee Ran’s abilities began to gradually improve.
With the teachings of Zhou Yan, Lee Ran didn’t immediately enter the Jiang family, but instead leveraged the energy between heaven and earth to begin cultivation and recover from the injuries caused by the Void Thunder Tribulation.
In this Divine Land, absorbing Divine Level Origin Power, Lee Ran’s cultivation naturally progressed rapidly.
Originally, after Shattering Void, he possessed near-divine level combat power, but due to the current distortions of the Void, this world seemed unstable, resulting in some deficiencies in power—after all, the development of this world seems synchronized with a certain time axis, with the complete world fluctuating between fragmentation and completeness.
Lee Ran possessed excellent foundations, coupled with the terrifying rules taught by Zhou Yan, and his own bloodline reasons, his potential indeed exploded in this place.
Soon, Lee Ran’s realm reached the realms of Divine Realm Ninth Transition.
This difficulty, given his experiences and abilities, was not challenging, let alone Lee Ran obtained all cultivation memories related to Xingyi Fist changes from Zhou Yan, the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable. These memories, combined with the powerful energy intensity of this world and the perverse underlying energy of the Void Thunder Tribulation, ensured Lee Ran’s progress couldn’t be slow.
After reaching this realm, in a short time, Lee Ran is unable to break through to the Sword Venerate realm.
But with such a plan, he is already qualified to execute it.
Lee Ran arrived at the location where the Jiang family was based.
The place where the Jiang family was located was very hidden, but since Lee Ran knew its location, it was naturally not difficult to find.
After finding the Jiang family’s place, Lee Ran directly used Soul Energy to impact the Jiang family, attracting the attention of the Jiang Family Master Jiang Xing.
At this time, Jiang Tianling, Jiang Tianxin, and Jiang Yuning were still very young, only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Yet, they were already quite spirited and ambitious.
