Looking at that back figure, Lin Ran's eyes showed a look of shock.
In his perception, there was no trace of breath at all in the direction where the figure was, as if this person and even the space he was in did not exist.
But when observing with the naked eye, one can confirm that it is indeed a human figure. This contradictory feeling seems particularly strange.
Lin Ran was not unfamiliar with this situation. This situation would only occur when the power of the person in front of him completely surpassed his own.
In the past, fighters and masters would also have this feeling when facing him.
But now, he has broken through to Dou Zun. What kind of strength can make a Dou Zun strongman feel such a gap?
Moreover, what this guy said...
Lin Ran swallowed and subconsciously took a step back. He already had some guesses about the identity of the visitor.
"The breath is steady, the blood is full, this kid is not lying."
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Xun'er, who was full of anger, amiably and said softly, "You shouldn't be so angry, girl. He really did help you."
"But, but!"
Xun'er's pretty face turned red.
"Alright, alright."
The middle-aged man looked at the girl gently, with a hint of doting in his eyes: "You have to understand that the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame is nothing. For us, the origin of blood is the key."
"You know clearly that's not what I meant, but this guy is like this..." Xun'er frowned slightly, with a hint of anger in her words.
"I know. I'll take care of it."
The middle-aged man smiled and spoke. This time, he did not wait for Xun'er to respond. Instead, he waved his hand and disappeared, taking Lin Ran with him.
Looking at the empty sky, Xun'er stomped her feet in anger.
"It's like this again! It's like this every time!"
"…"
Old Han standing by didn't dare to even breathe. He could only lower his head, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
…
The space around them twisted, and Lin Ran, who had just stepped into the ranks of Dou Zun, didn't even dare to think of resisting. The world around them had changed, and the two of them had appeared in a desolate space.
There is nothing here, no sky or earth, only a twisted and desolate force of space.
"Small space..."
And it was a small space that was temporarily fabricated!
Lin Ran's throat rolled, and the horror in his heart reached its peak at this moment.
The legendary Dou Sheng could use his own strength to open up a small space on the Dou Qi Continent, but Lin Ran also knew that that required a certain degree of preparation and would take a huge amount of energy and effort.
But at this moment...
Swallowing his saliva, Lin Ran turned his gaze to the front.
In the desolate and twisted space, a figure stood with his hands behind his back. He did not have any strong pressure, but Lin Ran did not dare to underestimate him. He was sure that the person in front of him was definitely the most terrifying person he had ever seen since he was born!
However, since he was here, Lin Ran naturally would not pretend to be unnecessarily frightened and quickly calmed down.
The opponent's strength was too terrifying, and he had no power to resist at all. And because of this, he was not worried about what the other party would do to him.
After all, he possesses such strength that he can seriously injure or even destroy himself with a casual wave of his hand. Doing these meaningless tricks would be boring.
"You have a good character, but it's a pity that this continent has not had a pure yang body grow up for who knows how long. After all, this kind of physique is really a work of heaven, even our ancient bloodline is inferior to it."
Lin Ran's heart trembled slightly. From this short sentence, he understood that the person in front of him not only knew his physique, but also had seen many Pure Yang bodies fall.
"May I know your name, senior?" Lin Ran asked respectfully.
Hearing Lin Ran's question, the figure smiled slightly, then slowly turned around. This person was about forty years old, and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, wearing a simple linen robe, with a smile on his face, which made people feel a little relieved.
This ordinary appearance did not make Lin Ran feel the slightest contempt. The simpler it was, the more it returned to nature.
"I am Xun'er's father."
really!
Lin Ran said to himself, "As expected", and was shocked.
This guy is indeed Gu Yuan!
Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Ancient Clan, one of the eight ancient clans in the Douqi Continent, was one of the five most powerful men in the Douqi Continent a thousand years ago, and now is one of the only three late-stage Nine-Star Dou Shengs in the Douqi Continent!
This guy is truly the one standing at the top of this world.
At this moment, this top existence in Douqi Continent appeared in front of him in such an ordinary appearance!
It is also very likely...
I'm here to find a place.
Seeing Lin Ran so shocked, Gu Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you surprised?"
Hearing this, Lin Ran gradually came back to his senses from his shock. He secretly glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him and laughed dryly. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
In front of such a powerful and terrifying figure, it seemed that any thought in his mind would be discovered by the other party, so he was simply a bachelor.
"Hello, Senior. I wonder why you brought me here..."
"You are from Zhongzhou, so you should know about the existence of ancient races like us, and you should also have a certain degree of understanding of my identity."
Gu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "This can save me a lot of effort."
"The reason I brought you here... is naturally for my precious daughter."
Hearing this, Lin Ran's heart was slightly awed, but he still suppressed his anger and said calmly: "Senior just said that I did not harm your daughter, and even the cause of today's incident was an accident."
"I know, otherwise you wouldn't be here talking to me right now."
Gu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "But she is my daughter after all. You looked at my daughter's body, which caused some psychological damage to her. You also took away half of the origin of the fire inherited by my clan. These things need to be resolved."
"Although these are not what you want, they have already happened and need to be resolved."
"So what the senior means is..." Lin Ran said in a low voice.
"I am Xun'er's father. From a father's perspective, I should take care of my daughter's emotions. The best solution is to make sure that this incident never happened after being seen naked by a boy of unknown origin."
But how can we treat something that has already happened as if it had not happened?
There is only one answer.
That is to get rid of the person who created this incident!
Lin Ran swallowed his saliva, his throat was a little dry, and his lips trembled slightly.
There was no way. Gu Yuan's deterrent power was too great. In front of him, he couldn't even fight to the death.
"But I am not only Xun'er's father, but also the head of the clan."
While Lin Ran was trembling in fear, Gu Yuan changed the subject and said with a faint smile: "For the sake of our clan, I need to make more and more comprehensive considerations."
"A more comprehensive...consideration?"
"Yes, because of you." Gu Yuan said calmly: "Or rather, your physique."
"The Pure Yang Body is strong, very strong. It is the most unique body in this world. It is strong not only because it is strong enough, but also because it can provide enough help to those around it."
"Those with pure Yang bodies in history have been surrounded by countless people. They have been blessed with good fortunes throughout their lives, and have many wives and concubines, and have continuous good luck."
"But none of these people with pure yang bodies have become truly powerful, and no story of any of them has been passed down. Even the world knows very little about this kind of physique. Do you know why?"
"Isn't it because of the restrictions of the Pure Yang Three Realms?"
Lin Ran spoke subconsciously. This was what Old Lin had told him.
Blood Realm, Soul Realm, Yuan Realm.
These three realms are like three mountains for a pure yang body. Only after climbing these three mountains one by one can one go further and higher.
"The three Pure Yang realms are indeed a small part of the reason, but this is just a difficulty in cultivation. The Pure Yang body is naturally full of blessings and luck, so how could it lack resources for cultivation? Look, you are only eighteen years old, but you have already broken through the Blood Realm."
Gu Yuan shook his head and denied it: "The real reason is actually because of the effect of the Pure Yang Body itself."
"Blood and energy are replenished, aptitude is improved, foundation is consolidated, good times will come after bad times."
Lin Ran frowned slightly. In fact, he had noticed this feature a long time ago.
In addition to those furnaces and tripods, almost everyone who has physical contact with him, or anyone or any creature who has come into contact with his blood, energy, and essence, will see their physique and fighting spirit greatly improved.
For example, Yunyun.
For example, Queen Medusa.
This is the characteristic of a pure yang body. The rich blood and energy are naturally of great benefit to these creatures.
etc!
As if he thought of something, Lin Ran trembled violently. His whole body tensed up suddenly, his fighting spirit surged, his soul condensed, and even goose bumps appeared on the surface of his skin.
What does Gu Yuan mean by this? Could it be that...
"It's just as you imagined. But don't worry for now. Although the ancient races need the protection of the strong and need strong blood, I won't do such a thing."
Gu Yuan said calmly: "Xun'er has unimaginable talent, and I have sealed a Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in her body since she was a child. As long as she can grow up smoothly, she can definitely take over from me."
"Medicine, secret techniques, and even the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame. I gave this girl everything I could give, but it was not enough."
"She still needs some protection. Or rather, the Ancient Clan still needs some protection."
"And I... am that guarantee?"
Lin Ran's lips trembled. At this moment, he had completely understood Gu Yuan's meaning.
Having read the original novel, he certainly understood that these ancient races with the blood of the Dou Emperor relied on the glory of their ancestors to become extremely powerful and unparalleled in the world.
but.
This glory is not permanent.
No matter how strong the bloodline is, it will eventually fade after being dispersed countless times.
And when the influence of their ancestors gradually fades, the ancient races will fall from the altar and become ordinary people.
For example, the Xiao clan!
The Xiao clan's bloodline power was exhausted at that time, so the clan leader Xiao Xuan decided to gather the blood of the entire clan to break through the Dou Emperor and re-stimulate the bloodline.
However, the Douqi Continent lacked source energy, and Xiao Xuan ultimately failed and died seriously injured, with his residual soul remaining in the Heavenly Tomb.
Although Gu Yuan is still alive, his strength as a late-stage Nine-Star Douluo is unparalleled, and no one can match him except Emperor Hun Tian and the old dragon under the magma ground.
But how long can this glory last?
The Xiao clan is like this, and naturally the other ancient clans are the same, including the Gu clan.
Gu Xun'er was indeed outstanding. Although her bloodline had not yet been activated, Lin Ran, who knew the original novel, knew clearly that the bloodline Gu Xun'er possessed was of a divine quality, the highest level of the Dou Di bloodline of the ancient race.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
With such bloodline, as long as Gu Xun'er grows up smoothly, her future will definitely not be inferior to the three immortals of the ancient clan, or even Gu Yuan.
But what's the use of that?
As long as the Dou Emperor doesn't come out, no matter how powerful these bloodline clansmen are, it will be useless, because only the Dou Emperor can revive the bloodline, and only the Dou Emperor can make the ancient races radiant again.
But in today's world, it is impossible for the Dou Di to appear, so they need some other methods.
In addition, there are ways to prolong the life of ancient races.
For example, in the original work, the Soul-Devouring Clan was attacked by countless ancient races, and eventually destroyed and swallowed by the Void Devouring Flame.
Another example...
Pure yang body!
The pure yang body can stimulate and condense blood and essence. After Queen Medusa failed to evolve, she relied on Lin Ran's blood and essence to change her fate. She successfully completed the transformation and evolved into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.
So the same goes.
Queen Medusa, whose bloodline has degenerated, can rely on Lin Ran's blood essence to evolve from a Purple Flame Snake into a Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.
Then these ancient races can naturally do so too!
Lin Ran seemed to understand why strong people with pure yang bodies were so rare in history.
Because of those people, those ancestors who have the same physique as Lin Ran.
They have all been divided up and eaten by the strong people on this continent!
"What... do you want?"
Lin Ran stared at Gu Yuan in front of him with a gloomy look.
For the disciples of the Yunyu Sect, that was the furnace used by the three scorpion demons for cultivation.
And he... is he going to become the food reserve for the ancient clan's emperor's blood to run dry? !
"Don't be nervous. If I want to take action, I won't say more here. I will just seal your spiritual consciousness and five senses, imprison your body and soul, and make you a blood slave of my clan. Isn't it better?"
Lin Ran was silent.
"I won't have too much murderous intention towards you. A pure yang body cannot ignite the emperor's blood, unless your strength reaches my level. Of course, if you really have my level of strength, no one will dare to covet your bloodline." Gu Yuan said lightly.
"There is only one thing I want you to do. If you can do this, I can help you settle the matter between you and Xun'er. I can even help you cover up the fact that you have a pure yang body so that outsiders don't know about it."
"You also know that, except for some ancient races like me, or some old monsters who have been hidden from the world, there are not many people in this world who know about the existence of this kind of physique."
"…If I can help, please feel free to tell me, Senior."
Lin Ran spoke in a low voice. Now he had no choice but to trust Gu Yuan.
"Don't worry, it's not difficult to do. I want you to use your blood and energy to nourish Xun'er's meridians every month, and use your blood and essence to strengthen her foundation every year."
Gu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "This is not a difficult task for you now."
"Of course, this is not endless. The time is until the next coming-of-age ceremony of our tribe. What do you think?"
Coming-of-age ceremony... The ancient tribe held a coming-of-age ceremony every twenty years, which would only take seven or eight years.
Besides, I don't have a choice!
Lin Ran's mouth twitched slightly, and he could only nod in agreement.
"very good."
Seeing that Lin Ran was so tactful and knew when to advance and retreat, Gu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. He moved his palm slightly, and a wisp of fighting spirit merged into Lin Ran's body.
Lin Ran's expression changed slightly, but he didn't do anything too drastic.
If Gu Yuan wanted to deal with him, whether it was killing him or controlling him, it only took a thought. Why would he need to do all these things?
"This strand of my fighting spirit has no other function. It will only actively lead you to Xun'er's side every month and every year to fulfill the agreement. Of course, if you are fatally injured, this fighting spirit will burst out to protect you once."
After the fighting spirit was absorbed, Gu Yuan smiled and said, "This can be regarded as a reward for you. Okay, little guy, today's matter ends here. In the days to come, don't rely on your physique to do whatever you want..."
As Gu Yuan uttered the last word, his figure slowly disappeared between heaven and earth.
Lin Ran's eyes blurred and he suddenly felt the whole world start to spin.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the outside world.
Xun'er and Old Han have disappeared, and in their place are Elder Qian Baier, Elder Su Qianda and three others.
Seeing this, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously touched his forehead, feeling very unreal.
"Sect Master Lin, what is this..."
The two elders looked at each other, then looked at Lin Ran in front of them and whispered, "Have you broken through to Dou Zun?"
"ah."
Lin Ran came back to his senses, looked at the two elders and nodded: "Luckily I broke through."
lucky...
Hearing Lin Ran's words, the two elders Qianbai showed helpless expressions. Behind them, the great elder Su Qian had an even more unreal feeling.
In just one month, he soared from the Seven-Star Dou Zong to the Peak of Dou Zong, and then broke through from the Peak of Dou Zong to the Dou Zun.
This level of improvement, this level of realm, can actually be described by the word luck.
Then these old guys who have been trapped in the Nine-Star Dou Zong for who knows how long and have spent countless efforts to break through to the Dou Zong level are too unlucky!
"Sect Master Lin's talent is rare in the world."
The three of them were filled with emotion, but they were also quite confused.
Why did Lin Ran come to their Canaan Academy at this time? Could it be that he just wanted to break through to Dou Zun and show off?
However, the three of them did not dare to say anything more at this moment. Lin Ran, who was a Dou Zong, was already invincible in the Black Horn Region. Now Lin Ran has broken through to Dou Zun. If they angered him, how could Canaan Academy survive?
Seeing that the three of them looked a little nervous and restrained, Lin Ran smiled calmly and took the initiative to open the topic.
"I'm sorry to have made the three elders laugh. Actually, I came to the academy for two reasons."
"First of all, I am a guest elder of the academy, but I have never taught in the academy, nor have I made any contribution. I feel ashamed, so I thought of coming to the academy to take a look."
The two elders raised their eyes slightly, and Su Qian's face twitched slightly.
"Secondly... I have two disciples under my command who also want to enroll and study. I wonder if the three elders..."
"Hahahaha, Sect Master Lin, you are joking. You are already a guest elder of our academy. What's wrong with letting your disciples come here to study?"
Seeing Lin Ran's goodwill, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Great Elder Su Qian was even more smiling: "Where are Sect Master Lin's two disciples now? I will take them directly to complete the admission procedures."
"That's great, that's great!"
Lin Ran's mind moved, and he instantly locked onto the auras of Xiao Yixiang, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan.
With a wave of his hand, along with the distortion of space, the figures of the three female companions who were strolling in Canaan City suddenly appeared in front of Elder Qian Bai and Elder Su Qian.
"Oh, where is this?" Xiao Ziyan looked around in confusion. When she noticed the figures of Lin Ran and the others, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, hey! Old man Su Qian, old man Qian, old man Bai, you are here too."
"Master!"
"Master!"
Qing Lin and Xiao Yixiang also came back to their senses and greeted Lin Ran happily. At the same time, they looked curiously at the two elders Qian Bai and Su Qian and the other two.
"Are you having fun?"
Lin Ran smiled and rubbed Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin's heads, and said to the three elders: "These two girls are the ones who will be enrolled. Elder Su Qian will take them to handle the formalities later."
"Of course there is no problem."
The great elder Su Qian readily agreed, but the second elder Qian Bai looked at the two girls, the Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin, with a look of surprise.
"Sect Master Lin, the physiques of these two..."
"Ah, I hope the elder will bear with me." Lin Ran said with a smile.
"Sect Master Lin really likes to torment people..."
The two old men looked at each other, both showing helpless expressions.
They naturally recognized Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin's physiques, otherwise they would not have revealed such expressions.
The Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils were not a big deal, as Canaan Academy had many spiritual and snake-related skills and combat techniques, but this evil poisonous body...
It's not easy to teach. It's not easy to teach!
