This Is What a Villain Is Like

Chapter 191: Chapter 96: Obtaining the Immortal Embryo Creation Dew

Jiang Lan nodded slightly. "Once I have obtained the good fortune within, I will have your reward."

With that, he walked toward the ancient, dark stone cliff face.

The Jade Pendant he had obtained from Chu Chan began to emit a hazy glow. A wisp of divine light seemed to surge forth, landing on the cliff face before him.

RUMBLE!

The next moment, stones shook loose and the rock face crumbled away, revealing two ancient stone doors that swung open.

Within, glowing patterns intertwined amidst a hazy brilliance and flowing, colorful mists. A mysterious ripple undulated from the opening, carrying with it a vast and heavy pressure.

Without the hazy light emanating from the Jade Pendant, it would have been impossible to advance even an inch.

Faintly, divine lights could be seen converging within, creating an incredibly mysterious sight. A few Scripture Scrolls were visible, floating up and down in the air.

A vast golden radiance emerged, and the sound of pages turning within the Scripture Scrolls could be heard—an astonishing phenomenon.

As Jiang Lan’s figure vanished inside, the two ancient stone doors slowly swung shut. All the light and fluctuations disappeared in an instant.

Ling Zhuyun and the others who witnessed this were all deeply shaken.

They felt that this must be the true legacy left behind by the Purple Mist True Monarch.

The interior of the immortal’s abode was ancient and spacious.

Bronze Oil Lamps lined both sides of the corridor, their flames burning eternally and emitting a fresh fragrance.

Jiang Lan strode forward, his eyes gleaming with divine light as he took in the scene within.

In the depths of the abode, an ancient zafu sat in the center. Its material was unidentifiable, but it was interwoven with Dao Marks and radiated an ancient charm.

Besides the zafu, there were several bottles and a mud-yellow Earthenware Jar, though what was sealed inside them was a mystery.

On a high platform, several Scripture Scrolls, shrouded in a radiant mist, floated up and down.

On a bookshelf to the side, piles of Jade Scrolls and books, all clearly ancient, exuded a timeless, rustic air.

Jiang Lan’s gaze finally settled on the deepest part of the abode.

It was a mass of mist enveloped in radiant clouds, resembling a medicinal liquid or an immortal spring. It was crystal clear yet multicolored, and one could faintly perceive what seemed to be the profound truths of innumerable jeweled worlds evolving within.

Even from a distance, he could feel its rich and abundant Life Force. It was like the legendary Immortal Elixir, said to be capable of reviving the dead and granting the living eternal life.

Within the liquid, the phantom of an Immortal Phoenix faintly appeared, surrounded by clusters of blazing flames that resembled the eternal, unquenchable Nirvana Fire.

’Immortal Embryo Creation Dew...’

Jiang Lan stared at this Heaven and Earth Wonder. It had previously appeared in the depths of the Ancient Medicine Garden before quickly vanishing. In truth, it had simply moved into this Dark Mansion.

He could feel the divine nature it contained.

With a wave of his hand, the Immortal Embryo Creation Dew transformed into a beam of incandescent light and landed in his palm. The divinity within it seemed to struggle, but its efforts were futile in his grasp.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Lan swallowed it and began the process of Refinement and absorption.

The instant he swallowed it, his figure flashed, and he reappeared atop the zafu.

Inside the abode, which was surging with radiant light, wisps of Spiritual Energy began to seep from the cracks in the stone walls and converge upon him.

As Jiang Lan’s mind settled into meditation, providence churned within his Mud Ball Palace. The Mysterious Ancient Vine began to tremble.

FWOOSH!!!

In the previously still abode, a scorching light suddenly flared up. It was like a fire of Dao Principles, yet also resembled the Nirvana Fire, burning everything in its path.

Jiang Lan, who had been sitting on the zafu, seemed to burst into flames.

His cranium began to glow, and even his cheekbones became translucent.

The flames enveloped him, forming what looked like a great, fiery cocoon.

Around this fiery cocoon, the phantom of an Immortal Phoenix could be seen floating. Its wings spread wide before folding down to envelop the cocoon.

During this process, a vision appeared in Jiang Lan’s mind: a vast, boundless river of blood.

It stretched beyond sight, yet its surface was deathly still, without a single wave or ripple.

Silent as the abyss, the blood-red river exuded a terrifying, heart-stopping aura.

This unbelievable phenomenon simply materialized, quiet and still, within his consciousness.
