Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 94 The Six Decrees of the Holy Emperor

After returning from the desolate mountains, Lin Ran went straight back to Black Seal City.

He had to be extremely careful about where he took the pill, ensuring that no accidents or problems would occur afterward.

As the future headquarters of the Holy Rain Sect, and given the Black Seal Auction incident, Black Seal City is currently arguably the safest area in the entire Black Corner Region.

After giving instructions to the three women in green, Lin Ran covered the room with his battle qi, sat cross-legged inside, and took out the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill from his storage ring.

Looking at the blood-red pill in his palm, Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before taking out another pill from his storage ring.

The pill shone with golden light, and a golden dragon coiled inside it; it was the seventh-grade Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ran opened his mouth and swallowed the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill in one gulp.

The pill entered his mouth and instantly transformed into a stream of heat, flowing down his throat and into his body. Then, just like in the original story when Xiao Yan swallowed the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, there was no sound.

The immense medicinal effects of the seventh-grade pill were like water flowing into a sponge, slowly settling after entering Lin Ran's body until they completely disappeared.

The strange phenomenon amazed even Lin Ran himself.

After swallowing the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, Lin Ran took out the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill and put it in his mouth.

"Um?!"

The moment the pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a warm, nourishing energy that quickly seeped into Lin Ran's body, invading his muscles and integrating into his meridians and bones.

This feeling wasn't uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it was very warm, like soaking in a hot spring.

But after only a few breaths, Lin Ran suddenly felt an extremely thick, fishy smell emanating from his mouth and nose.

Immediately afterwards, waves of pungent, malevolent energy began to violently assault his body.

Skin, tendons, flesh, bones!

At this moment, every inch of my body was stinging.

Lin Ran frowned and circulated his fighting spirit.

Compared to the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, which nourishes silently like spring rain, this Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill is like lightning and thunder, bombarding and wreaking havoc within Lin Ran's body.

With his physique, ordinary strength is almost impossible to shake him, and pure yang battle qi is the natural nemesis of this bloody aura.

However, when Lin Ran was about to resist the erosion of the bloody aura in his body, his fighting spirit was sealed as if it had been thrown into the sea, and he could not mobilize it at all!

"There was definitely something wrong!"

This situation greatly alarmed Lin Ran.

Fortunately, he had already taken the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, so even if there were problems, he would have a backup plan.

Moreover, he did not take the medicine directly on the barren mountain.

If this happened on a desolate mountain, Han Feng and the old demon would probably be grinning from ear to ear.

A surging, malevolent aura coursed through Lin Ran's body.

If Lin Ran's body is a piece of extremely yang and hard iron, then the surrounding bloody aura that constantly corrodes Lin Ran's body is like a series of swinging iron hammers, frantically forging Lin Ran's flesh.

One or two blows, and perhaps for a while, it won't be enough to shake Lin Ran's body.

However, as time goes by, even the hardest steel will eventually be forged.

Most importantly, besides his pure yang body, his Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, which should have been filled with yin energy, unfortunately showed no reaction whatsoever to the effects of the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill.

Left with no other choice, Lin Ran could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Through his internal vision, he can clearly see the condition inside his body.

That day, after the effects of the Spirit Dragon Blood Pill were absorbed into Lin Ran's flesh and blood, his flesh and blood began to fluctuate violently, like boiling magma, and emitted intense high temperatures.

The intense heat emanated continuously from Lin Ran's body, penetrating his meridians and bones, causing white smoke to constantly rise from his skin, as if he had a 42-degree fever in his previous life and his immune system had gone berserk.

Of course, the high fever of his previous life could not describe Lin Ran's condition at this moment.

Large amounts of white smoke continuously emanated from Lin Ran's body. Soon, fine white bubbles began to appear on Lin Ran's skin. The white bubbles burst, revealing the bright red flesh and blood underneath.

Tiny cracks spread from his flesh and blood, eventually covering Lin Ran's entire body, making him look like a broken porcelain doll, which was extremely terrifying.

Blood boiling!

The medicinal effects contained in the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill are being absorbed into Lin Ran's body through this continuous high temperature.

Using the blood and energy of magical beasts to replenish the emptiness of man.

His spirit merged with his blood, his yang energy as fierce as a dragon.

This is the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill!

The powerful blood energy surged continuously, and Lin Ran's broken skin seemed to be on the verge of collapse. However, just as it was about to break, a surge of emerald-gold battle energy would emerge and repair it.

That was the protection provided by Lin Ran's own fighting spirit.

This process was very slow and painful, but Lin Ran could clearly feel the blood and qi in his body gradually becoming more abundant and robust.

The emerald-gold pure yang battle qi flowed through his meridians again, and Lin Ran's head, which had been almost numb from the pain, gradually relaxed, feeling a faint coolness.

He gradually absorbed the effects of the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill, and the medicinal power merged with his bloodline. The most uncomfortable moment had passed.

Next, it's time to wait for the harvest.

Lin Ran sat cross-legged. As time passed, his originally broken skin was repaired. The bloodstains on his body gradually merged, and the blood scars quickly appeared and then fell off without leaving any trace.

The skin on the surface of the body, layer by layer of dry epidermis, fell off rapidly like a snake shedding its skin. The new skin was incomparably white, looking as delicate as a woman's skin, but the defensive power and sensitivity to the energy of heaven and earth it possessed were unimaginably profound.

The blood energy and medicinal effects within the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill replenished the blood energy deficiency in Lin Ran's Pure Yang Body. At this moment, Lin Ran's physical body was as if it had been reforged, extremely resilient, and perfectly perfect!

As the effects of the medicine gradually wore off, the pure yang fighting energy returned to his body, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame resumed its burning.

At the same time, a suction force surged from Lin Ran's body, drawing in all the rich power of heaven and earth from the surroundings.

Lin Ran's aura also became unstable under this condition.

Waves of powerful battle aura surged forth from his body like tides, only to recede slowly in a continuous cycle.

Due to a deficiency of blood and qi, Lin Ran had made no progress in the past year or so, except for a slight breakthrough in strength after absorbing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Now that Lin Ran has completely resolved the problem of blood and qi deficiency, his accumulated cultivation and foundation have finally been restored.

At this moment, such magnificent energy fluctuations are a sign that Lin Ran is about to break through!

……

Jia Ma Empire.

royalty.

Inside the magnificent royal palace.

Dressed in a brocade robe, Yao Ye sat behind his desk with a solemn expression, constantly reviewing the memorials submitted from all over the Jia Ma Empire.

Her beautiful, spirited eyes were filled with weariness, and her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, never relaxing all day.

Yao Ye's father passed away at a very young age, and she was raised almost entirely by her great-grandfather. Therefore, from the beginning, Jia Xingtian planned to cultivate Yao Ye into an empress.

Yao Ye did not disappoint Jia Xingtian; she performed well in both temperament and aptitude.

However, before the Empress's training was even complete, the situation within the Gama Empire began to descend into chaos.

Dan Wang Guhe led many powerful figures from the Jia Ma Empire, along with Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, and a poison master from the Chuyun Empire, to search for a different kind of fire in the Tagor Desert.

Unfortunately, despite such a formidable lineup, not only did they fail to collect the strange fire, but they also angered the successfully evolved Medusa Queen. Apart from Pill King Gu He and the Cloud Mist Sect Master, all the remaining powerhouses perished in the yellow sand!

Followed by.

The former sect leader of Yunlan Sect successfully broke free from the shackles of the Douhuang realm, emerged from seclusion, and became a Douzong, hosting a grand banquet for his guests.

Enraged when Izumo Poison Master's demand for compensation was refused, he poisoned Gama.

At Zhen Gui Pass, 100,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of residents were slaughtered, and the country's gates were wide open!

The Izumo Empire, the Mulan Empire, and the Luoyan Empire are eyeing the country covetously, and have even sent troops to invade Gama.

For a time, the Gama Empire was beset by internal and external troubles. The royal family wanted to send troops to resist, but there was no one available!

Helpless, Jia Xingtian personally led troops to guard the border, while all the political affairs of the royal family and the major and minor matters of the country fell on Yao Ye's shoulders.

Little did anyone know that no sooner had Jia Xingtian left than Yunshan began to open up channels in major cities of the Jia Ma Empire and recruit disciples on a large scale.

In an instant, Gama was thrown into turmoil, and disasters struck everywhere!

"Great-grandfather, what should I do next...?"

Yao Ye rubbed the sides of her forehead, feeling an unbearable headache.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a eunuch rushed into the palace, hurriedly saying, "Your Highness, urgent report! The former one of the ten strongest warriors of the Gama Empire, Ice Emperor Haibodong... has returned to the Mittel family!"

"What?!"

Yao Ye's pupils contracted, and he suddenly stood up, his face extremely pale.

Besides the royal family, the Gama Empire also has three other major families: the Mu family, the Nalan family, and finally, the Mittel family.

The Mu family has always been part of the royal family, the Nalan family has always supported the Yunlan Sect, while the Mittel family has always remained neutral.

With the empire in chaos, Yao Ye had been seeking the help of the Mittel family to alleviate the crisis by leveraging their vast wealth. To this end, Yao Ye had even prepared to coerce Mittel.

After all, the strongest member of the Mittel family was only a four-star Dou Wang. In addition to Jia Xingtian, who was at the peak of Dou Huang, the royal family also had a sixth-tier magical beast. If it really came down to a direct confrontation, Yao Ye was somewhat confident.

But who could have imagined that the long-lost Ice Emperor Hai Bodong would actually return to the Milt family, forcing Yao Ye to change his original plans.

"...What's the Ice Emperor's stance?"

"It's hard to say."

The eunuch spoke in a low voice: "However, according to the spies, the Ice Emperor brought someone back with him this time, and he attaches great importance to this person, even instructing the Mittel family to treat this person the same way they treat him."

Such importance?!

Yao Ye was slightly startled. Who could be the Ice Emperor, who was once famous in Jia Ma, to take such a high regard?

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, then said with some uncertainty, "According to the scouts, the visitor may be... Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family in Wutan City."

"Xiao Yan? The Xiao Yan who had a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran?"

Yao Ye was slightly taken aback, and her mind immediately recalled an event that had been widely discussed even in the capital several years ago.

"It's still uncertain. With the Ice Emperor around, we dare not be too reckless..." the eunuch stammered.

"It should be him, after all, there aren't many people in the world who would dare to appear in the capital at this time and under this name."

Naran Yanran is the daughter of the Nalan family and the last disciple of the Yunlan Sect Master.

If the Nalan family, with a Dou Wang in charge, were not qualified, the Yunlan Sect now has a Dou Zong in charge. Under such terrifying power, even if someone is really named Xiao Yan, they would probably change their name immediately for fear of being affected.

"Judging by the timing, he must have come for the three-year agreement. Hai Bodong's treatment of Xiao Yan might be a good opportunity to win him over..."

Yao Ye murmured, then said in a deep voice, "Retrieve Xiao Yan's information."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The eunuch quickly retreated, and soon returned carrying a document.

Yao Ye carefully flipped through the pages, sometimes raising her eyebrows, sometimes showing surprise, and finally her gaze fell on the title of "Second-Rank Alchemist".

"At such a young age, you're already a second-grade alchemist... I remember the Alchemist Conference is in a couple of days."

"Yes, the Alchemist Conference is in seven days, but Xiao Yan hasn't registered. I need to go and invite him..."

"No need. Since he didn't register, it means he doesn't want to participate in the Alchemist Guild... How about this, in the name of the royal family, hold an alchemy appraisal and send an invitation to Xiao Yan."

"Yes."

"Also, send Xiao Yan a copy of the information about the Nalan family and Nalan Yanran."

"Yes."

Although Xiao Yan would certainly not lack intelligence with the Mittel family involved, since the royal family already intends to win over the Mittel family, they must do their work properly.

Watching the respectfully departing eunuch, Yao Ye took a deep breath, his expression solemn.

Now that the Yunlan Sect is powerful, even though Hai Bodong has returned, he is only a Dou Huang, which is not enough to ensure that the Mittel family can remain unscathed in the upcoming turmoil.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. The Ice Emperor should understand this principle. Faced with the coercion of the Cloud Mist Sect, cooperating with the royal family will be the only way out!

"I hope everything goes well..."

Yao Ye sighed softly and returned to her desk. But before she could turn to the next memorial, another eunuch rushed into the palace, looking terrified.

"No, this is terrible, Your Highness!"

"The kingdoms of Mulan and Luoyan have launched a surprise attack on the southeastern border, and the frontier is in dire need of attention!"

"What?!"

……

Black Seal City, Holy Rain Sect.

During Lin Ran's seclusion, Green Robe, along with Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, established the basic framework of the Holy Rain Sect.

The entire sect was established on the basis of the original Eight Doors, and has successfully taken over all the Eight Doors' industries and resources in Black Seal City.

The core hall of their sect was rebuilt on the ruins of the Black Seal Auction House.

"It seems that your seclusion will last quite a while, sir."

Outside the restaurant where Lin Ran was staying, the woman in green sighed softly, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Lin Ran has been in a meditative state for half a month since he entered that state. During this time, he has remained indoors without making any noise. If Green Robe hadn't been able to sense Lin Ran's gradually increasing aura, she probably would have thought that something had gone wrong during his cultivation.

Although she wasn't as formidable as Lin Ran, she understood that the stronger a person was, the more difficult it would be to break through their limits.

"Little Fairy Doctor's aura is quite stable," Green Robe said, then suddenly looked at Green Scale beside her: "Green Scale, why don't you go and cultivate too? I can watch over things here."

"No, Sister in green, please go ahead and do your work. I'll be fine here."

Qinglin shook her head and said softly, "Now that the sect has just been established, there are many things that need to be handled by you, Sister Green Robe. Especially recently, many people want to join our Holy Rain Sect. Although core disciples need the young master's approval, Sister Green Robe might as well collect suitable people first and make them an external member. This will make it easier for the young master to select them after he comes out of seclusion."

"I'll be fine here. If anything happens, I'll call for your green-clad sister."

"You really aren't in a hurry at all."

Green-clad gently rubbed Green Scale's head with a touch of tenderness.

Because she was busy with the affairs of the Holy Rain Sect, Lin Ran's situation was basically being kept in the care of Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin. As a result, four or five days ago, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly had some enlightenment and had no choice but to go into seclusion.

Little Fairy Doctor's strength is already at the level of a four-star Great Dou Master. With this breakthrough during her seclusion, she is very likely to break through to the level of a five-star Great Dou Master.

But Qinglin wasn't in a hurry at all, even though her strength had only just broken through to the Great Dou Master level.

If this continues, the gap between this girl and Little Fairy Doctor will probably widen even further!

"It's fine."

Qinglin smiled gently; she knew her own situation.

Currently, the number of snake-type magical beasts bound to her Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is not large, with the strongest still being the two-headed fire spirit serpent from before, so her battle qi growth rate is not fast.

However, if she can bind more snake-type magical beasts, the speed at which her battle qi increases will probably rise sharply, and catching up with Little Fairy Doctor will only be a matter of time.

"Alright then, I'll leave this place to you."

Without further ado, the man in green hurried away.

Since the sect was newly established, many things should have been handled by Lin Ran, the 'Sect Leader'.

Lin Ran is completely a hands-off manager, and now he has gone into seclusion, leaving everything to Green Robe.

Resources, territory, personnel handover...

There are just too many things that need Green Coat to handle.

Watching the departing figure in green, Qinglin sensed the fluctuations of battle qi emanating from inside the house. Instead of showing any impatience, she revealed a sweet and happy smile.

Qinglin waited quietly outside the house.

This continued for about three days. On the fourth day, a sudden surge of energy came from the room where Lin Ran was.

A series of mottled energies of heaven and earth rapidly condensed, forming a vortex above Lin Ran's head, and finally poured into his body from the top of his head.

This infusion of energy lasted only a dozen seconds before slowly dissipating. And when the last trace of mottled energy vanished into thin air, Lin Ran's eyes, which had been closed for almost a month, finally snapped open.

The moment his eyes opened, a powerful aura suddenly surged out from his body, overwhelming everything around him. If it weren't for the existence of the battle qi barrier, the explosion of this battle qi alone would probably have been enough to blow everything around it away!

"Young Master!"

Qinglin looked at Lin Ran with great joy. After such a long wait, the young master had finally woken up.

Although the barrier of battle qi prevented Qinglin from accurately sensing Lin Ran's aura, Qinglin's keen soul power could still detect that Lin Ran's spirit and energy had been greatly enhanced!

Young Master has successfully completed his seclusion!

But soon, Qinglin noticed something was wrong.

The young master seems to be in a somewhat... state.

"Hmm!"

Before Qinglin could react, the space in front of him suddenly distorted, and Lin Ran's figure appeared directly in front of Qinglin, his fiery red eyes looking down at Qinglin's Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.

"Young Master..."

Qinglin was slightly taken aback. Looking at Lin Ran's fiery red eyes and scorching aura, she suddenly understood something.

But she did not resist or struggle. Instead, she leaned into Lin Ran's burning embrace, closed her eyes, and her face was as white as rosy powder.

"Please have mercy, young master..."

……

There's no way I can pity them at all.

Perhaps it was because the blood energy of the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill that Lin Ran refined was too domineering and powerful.

After completely absorbing the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill, Lin Ran's blood energy was so abundant and turbulent that the Yin and Yang energies fluctuated once again!

It's just that poor little green scales are suffering.

However, Qing Lin, who had just broken through to the Great Dou Master level, could not withstand Lin Ran's violent torment. If Lin Ran had not regained some consciousness midway and used pills to restore Qing Lin in time, this little girl would probably have been tormented to death by Lin Ran!

After all, even Medusa, with her Dou Zong strength and demon beast body, couldn't withstand Lin Ran's onslaught in a chaotic state. How could this little girl Qing Lin possibly withstand it?

One day later.

On the table.

Qinglin blushed deeply and happily served food to Lin Ran.

Her actions were full of love, but at the other end of the table, Little Fairy Doctor, who had successfully broken through to the fifth-star Grand Dou Master level, was sullen and irritably poked at the monster meat in her bowl with her bamboo chopsticks.

She was the one who arrived first, and she was also the first maid to serve the young master. So, she should have been the one who received the young master's favor first.

Why did Qinglin have to beat me to it?

It's all because of my cultivation level. Why did I have to break through at this crucial moment?

If she were the one staying behind to wait for Lin Ran, wouldn't that mean...?

The more Little Fairy Doctor thought about it, the more depressed she became. Now that the young master's blood and energy had recovered, such an opportunity was almost impossible to come again in the future. How could she have missed it like this!

"That's basically it, sir... no, sect leader."

The man in green explained in a deep voice, "I have completely absorbed the original forces of the Eight Doors and made them the outer forces of our Holy Rain Sect. I have also selected many talented young men with good aptitude as reserves, but the specifics are still up to you, Sect Master."

"Furthermore, the news of the establishment of the Holy Rain Sect has already been known to many forces, and they have more or less made some guesses about us. I hope that you, Sect Master, can step forward to avoid some unnecessary trouble for the future development of the sect."

"Furthermore, as our sect is newly established, we are extremely lacking in cultivation techniques, combat skills, and the like..."

Lin Ran listened quietly to what the woman in green had to say, nodding in satisfaction from time to time to express his own opinion.

As expected, the green-clad figure did not disappoint him. In such a short time, he single-handedly established the basic framework of the Holy Rain Sect, demonstrating his outstanding abilities.

"The future of the Holy Rain Sect is to become a top-tier power renowned throughout the world, therefore the sect's plans must be well-developed."

"I am very satisfied that you did not rashly bring those miscellaneous people into the sect, but instead gathered them in the form of external affiliated forces."

Lin Ran said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, he took out three jade tokens from his pocket and handed them to Qing Lin, Little Fairy Doctor, and Green Robe respectively.

Looking at the three women who were curiously examining the jade token, Lin Ran's mind stirred, and a vast amount of soul information surged into their minds.

The three women felt a sudden pause, and their minds were instantly flooded with a wealth of information.

"Sacred Rain Sect, Six Orders of the Sacred Sect".

"The imperial edicts are of six grades: wood, iron, copper, silver, gold, and jade. There are twelve jade edicts, one hundred and twenty-eight gold edicts, and three hundred and sixty-five silver edicts."

"These three sacred decrees were personally forged by the sect leader, and only inner disciples of the Holy Rain Sect can master them."

"As for the copper, iron, and wood tokens, there will be no quantity limit. They are symbols of status for outer disciples. The specific quantity will be manufactured and controlled by inner disciples. The only restriction is the level of refining."

"The owner of the jade token can refine copper, iron, and wood tokens, and has the right to apply to the sect leader for gold and silver tokens."

"The owner of the gold token can forge both iron and wood tokens, while the owner of the silver token can only forge wood tokens."

"The sect operates on a contribution value system. Once you have enough contribution values, you can exchange them at the branch sect for anything, including cultivation techniques, combat skills, elixirs, magic cores, rare and precious materials..."

"..."

The information was neither lengthy nor complicated, focusing on the general structure of the Holy Rain Sect and its key points.

After browsing through the information, the three women had a fairly good understanding of the sect's situation.

"As you all know, I come from Zhongzhou, so I won't stay in the Black Corner Region for long. However, this is the first sect of the Holy Rain Sect, and it will also become the headquarters of the Holy Rain Sect in the future, so I hope that its construction must be good enough."

"I am not obsessed with power, and building a sect can never be done by one person alone."

Lin Ran looked at the three women and said softly, "The future of the sect still depends on you."

The three women exchanged glances, a sense of mission welling up within them. Their eyes turned serious, and they bowed deeply to Lin Ran.

"Please rest assured, Sect Master!"

"You don't need to feel too much pressure. The Holy Rain Sect is not just an ordinary sect. It is actually more like a huge alliance of forces."

Lin Ran smiled faintly, as images of Yun Yun and the beautiful snake appeared in his mind.

"It won't be long before you have a lot of helpers, but right now, this most basic and tedious step really requires your attention."

"Of course, during this period, I will also do my best to lay a solid foundation for the Holy Rain Sect and clear away obstacles."

Upon hearing this, the man in green's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Ran with a hopeful expression.

"What does the sect leader mean?"

"Although the Black Seal Auction cleaned up a lot of trash, the Black Corner Region is, after all, a place that harbors filth and corruption. It is indeed impossible to clean it up completely in one go."

"Han Feng, who was left behind before, should have made a lot of preparations during this time. He should have won over all those old guys hiding in the Black Corner Region, which saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one."

"For the next period of time, let me be the cleaner of this Black Corner Region."

Lin Ran smiled faintly, his calm words brimming with confidence.

What a joke! Lin Ran's weakness in blood energy has been eliminated, and his cultivation has advanced even further.

I am a peak Dou Zong, who in this Black Corner Region can be my opponent? Who can be my opponent?!
