Book 7: Chapter 10: Been There, Making History
Jiang Lan used to be a god. Although she was born by the union of her parents, in fact, at the moment of her birth, it’s her mother Jingwei and the rules of heaven and earth that joined forces to give birth to her.
Therefore, Jiang Lan formerly didn’t need the sea of Qi. She had divine power flowing in her body, in other words, her whole body was constructed by rules and divine power.
After the source of divine power was seized, her body was just an empty shell, but Bai Qiuran’s True Qi was filled in in time, which made her body stabilize again and grow flesh and blood to replace divine power.
It’s just that although this body survived, it was still the flesh of a god. The god didn’t need a sea of Qi, thus Jiang Lan naturally didn’t have that thing.
After finding out the result, Bai Qiuran withdrew his hand, his face was solemn.
Although Jiang Lan couldn’t break through the Qi Refining stage making him feel a bit of sympathy, he did not forget that Jiang Lan was not from his time.
Thinking in the worst direction, Jiang Lan might have to go through an unimaginable time before they could finally meet again in another era. This was only possible by becoming an immortal.
If Jiang Lan couldn’t build a foundation for cultivation, then all of this was empty talk.
“Is my condition serious?”
Seeing Bai Qiuran’s face, Jiang Lan asked.
“Yes.”
Bai Qiuran didn’t mean to hide, but he immediately patted Jiang Lan on the shoulder.
“But I will solve it, trust me.”
Jiang Lan nodded, while Bai Qiuran walked out of the house while bowing his head, thinking.
Maybe Heaven felt upset after being beaten by him. Today, it deliberately wanted to trouble him. As soon as he walked out the door, Bai Qiuran saw Bai Li standing outside the door with a little monkey. When he saw him, this disciple immediately came up.
“Master.”
“What’s the matter?”
Bai Qiuran asked.
“This disciple is puzzled by one thing, and wants to ask Master.”
Bai Li bowed his head and said.
Seeing his cautious look, Bai Qiuran couldn’t help being a little amused.
“I am your teacher. It is my duty to preach and teach karma to solve puzzles. If you have any questions, it’s okay to say.”
“Yes.”
Bai Li glanced at him cautiously, and continued:
“I want to ask about the level of cultivation. The day before yesterday, Master, you told me not to learn from the teacher and not to believe in the teacher. I want to think about the problem by myself. Together with the monkey, we deduced a change in each level of cultivation, and successfully calculated how strong I was at the peak of the Great Ascension stage.”
“Oh, not bad.”
Bai Qiuran nodded, and Bai Li’s talent really wouldn’t let him down.
“After the calculation was made, this disciple had doubts in his heart.”
Bai Li hesitated and said:
“At the peak of the Great Ascension stage, this disciple is still far less powerful than the teacher’s wife at the peak, looks like an ant in front of her… This disciple does not look down on the teacher’s wife, but according to you, her ranking in the divine race is not the top. There are other nine righteous gods, five heavenly emperors, two generals, and Taiyi, the supreme emperor of the east. Their strength should be much higher than that of the teacher’s wife, right?”
After a moment, he continued:
“If this is the case, then how should our human race fight with the divine race? Do we have to rely on proliferation for a long time to gain a quantitative advantage?”
“Of course not. After the Great Ascension stage, a human will ascend and reach a higher level. At this time, they will have an infinite lifespan, and the ability to move mountains and fill the sea, which is no different from the gods.”
Bai Qiuran suddenly smiled when he heard Bai Li’s question.
In fact, if counting the power of the sea, Jiang Lan’s strength should be the first among the nine righteous gods of the sky, but Bai Qiuran has not talked about this with Bai Li. In his mind, his teacher’s wife Jiang Lan has always been the goddess of plague and poison.
In the Nine Departments of the Sky, the Plague Department was indeed the last one, and Jiang Lan, who only used the power of plague and poison, was indeed slightly inferior to the other nine.
So there was nothing wrong with his statement. The object of his comparison should also be Jiang Lan, who only uses the power of the plague and poison.
“So this is the case.”
Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked without thinking:
“Then Master, what does the level after the Great Ascension stage look like?”
Bai Qiuran was stunned.
Yes, what is the state after the Great Ascension stage?
According to his scope of knowledge, after the Great Ascension stage, it should be in the realm of immortals, and because of the different worlds in which immortals live, there were various kinds of immortals. For example, those in the Immortal Realm were called Heavenly Immortal, those who stayed in the human world were called Land Immortal, and those belonged to Underworld like Xue Ling were called Ghost Immortal.
But, what’s about their level?
He has played against the strength of the Land Immortal, therefore knowing that the Land Immortal was not the rival of the gods. But according to what he and Su Xiangxue found in the tomb of the first Demon Emperor, and Li Jinyao in the ruins of the sky of the gods, all kinds of clues also indicate that there were still many levels above the Land Immortal.
Bai Qiuran looked at Bai Li’s look of expectation and could only say to him:
“I need to think about this question for two days. You should take a good rest, and then I will tell you when I have the answer.”
“Oh.”
Bai Li looked a little disappointed, but still replied obediently:
“Yes, Master.”
Bai Qiuran watched Bai Li take the monkey back to practice, then pulled a wooden stool and sat in front of the house.
He took Wise Immortal off his belt and asked:
“Wise Immortal, do you know what is going on in the level of the Land Immortal?”
“Of course, I know, if you want to understand, I can tell you a lot.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“But I don’t know the stage above the Land Immortal. All of them disappeared with the demise of the Eastern Green Immortal Dynasty overnight. They only existed in the Immortal Realm. Before I saw the information, I didn’t know exactly how it was.”
“If you want to lead mankind out of the predicament, you really can’t do it with your tongue, or by relying on brute force to go over it.”
Bai Qiuran looked at the golden crow in the sky and sighed.
Right now, he really seemed to be in a dark wilderness, with dead ends in front and back, and he didn’t know where to go.
“But the so-called enlightenment, isn’t it precisely in the dark wilderness that opens a way forward?”
Bai Qiuran had made up his mind a long time ago and made his consciousness well.
“Since you don’t know, then create. I believe that the method of comprehension is not obtained out of thin air.”
When he got up, the sun was slanting west unconsciously, Jiang Lan was cooking with the help of the maids, and a scent of cooking smoke mingled with the scent of food wafted from the valley.
Bai Qiuran found Jiang Lan and told her of her decision.
“Closed-door cultivation?”
Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment.
“what does that mean?”
“I just need a quiet and independent place to think about the problem.”
Bai Qiuran said to her:
“You don’t have to wait for me to eat in the future. Remember to eat on time and go to bed early… Before I come out, take good care of yourself.”
He looked up again and ordered the maids around:
“During my absence, take good care of Madam.”
Bai Qiuran gave an order, went to Bai Li and Hou’er, and told them the same, and then took Wise Immortal and started looking for a retreat.
He didn’t go far. There was a waterfall on the innermost side of the valley. There was a deep cave inside the waterfall, which was just a suitable place for him. Bai Qiuran set up a soundproof circle outside the waterfall, and then took Wise Immortal with him.
When he came to the innermost side of the cave, he found a dry high platform to sit down and placed the skull next to him.
“Old Bai.”
Wise Immortal suddenly said:
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
Bai Qiuran was stunned.
“Thank you for letting me witness your making history.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“I understand now. It doesn’t matter what the original history was like. Now the history you create is the real history.”
Bai Qiuran smiled, and then said:
“Then you can witness it well.”
