Chapter 352 Even the God King Lowers His Head When He Sees Me
"He actually succeeded!"
"How is this possible..."
"Am I seeing things? This person actually climbed the black and white staircase!"
In an instant, the entire city erupted in uproar, everyone exclaiming in shock!
All forces were extremely shocked. That was a matter of life and death. Countless geniuses throughout history had tried to cross it, but only two people had ever managed to do so.
Even a royal prodigy like Jin Zhennan, who had received guidance within the Samsara Palace and made various preparations beforehand, still had to sacrifice a divine king soul to barely step onto the first step...
But what about Li Lan?
He walked up the first step, looking incredibly calm and composed!
"Who exactly is this person?!"
A member of the royal Mo family, a powerful figure, immediately spoke up, saying, "Investigate! You must find out all his information. This person is too powerful. We must find his backers, his relatives and friends, and befriend them immediately!"
Immediately, someone around him took action.
"How could someone of this caliber be an unknown nobody? Could he be some genius hiding his identity?"
Other factions also had their suspicions and quickly sent people to investigate.
Even the envoy from the Divine Court narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.
Since ancient times, only two people have passed through the cycle of reincarnation, but now, two have appeared in the Unfallen City in a single day. Could it be that a person with extraordinary destiny will emerge from this city?
"Report this to the Divine Court immediately!"
He spoke in a low voice, this matter has exceeded expectations, the Divine Court must take it seriously, and even the God Emperor will probably need to personally intervene.
"In addition, quickly gather all kinds of rare resources and prepare a gift!"
He added hesitantly, "Prepare according to the standards for a royal-level congratulatory gift!"
Prepare for the King level!
Upon hearing this, his subordinates were all taken aback.
This also means that we should treat the other party with the same etiquette as we would treat a god-king.
"My lord, the other party should not be from the God-King's forces..."
One of the subordinates spoke up. After all, the arrival of a genius from the clan to participate in the Cycle of Reincarnation was a major event for all the major powers, and they would definitely send people to protect him. However, since many of the surrounding powers did not recognize Li Lan, it meant that he might really just be a rogue cultivator.
Using god-king level rituals on a rogue cultivator is not in accordance with the divine court's etiquette.
Even a genius like Jin Zhennan didn't meet this standard. The rewards given by the Divine Court, including being named the first royal family, were all for the entire Golden Crow Clan. The Golden Crow Clan already had two God Kings, so it wasn't excessive.
Could it be that in the eyes of the envoy, this rogue cultivator is actually more important than Jin Zhennan?
"What do you know!"
But the messenger roared, "I told you to prepare, so go and prepare!"
He stared intently at Li Lan on the first step of the Cycle of Reincarnation, his eyes filled with extreme seriousness.
In fact, in his opinion, even treating Li Lan with the etiquette of a god-king was not enough!
Because this unassuming middle-aged man had survived a life-or-death situation on his own, and with such ease and composure.
Compared to him, Jin Zhennan is nothing!
So what if the other party is just a rogue cultivator now? He was able to overcome the life-or-death crisis on his own, and it's not impossible for him to become an equal to the God Emperor in the future.
After all, according to historical records, anyone who could enter the Samsara Palace, even as a menial servant, could achieve accomplishments no less than those of a God-King. But now, this person is far more than just a menial servant.
He will become a disciple of the Samsara Palace!
Therefore, treating him with the respect due to a god-king is not excessive at all!
However, given the suddenness of the event and the lack of preparation, it was already quite an achievement to be able to gather a gift of god-king caliber.
Upon hearing this, his subordinates' expressions changed, and they dared not say anything more, immediately going to do it!
"Who is this person? Why has our clan never received any intelligence about him before?!"
At this moment, Jin Tianchi, the Supreme Elder of the Golden Crow Clan, couldn't help but shout angrily in a deep voice!
Another cultivator has emerged who has crossed the threshold of life and death, and the only ones who are unhappy about it are... the Golden Crow Clan.
Today should have belonged to their Golden Crow clan, and Jin Zhennan's name would have spread throughout the entire Divine Realm... But now, another person has appeared.
Moreover, without the support of external objects such as the God King Soul, this person stepped onto the black and white steps with greater ease than Jin Zhennan. As a result, all of Jin Zhennan's brilliance was overshadowed by this person.
Their Golden Crow clan no longer seemed so dazzling.
So how could he not be angry?
An elder standing nearby also looked grim and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we did conduct an investigation, but this person... this person... has no outstanding qualities."
The Golden Crow Clan has information on those who aspire to embark on the cycle of reincarnation, including the ascetic monks and ugly women who have performed well in the past. They are aware of these people, but this middle-aged man seems to have appeared out of nowhere.
"Your Excellency, this person is merely a rogue cultivator with no powerful backing. In my opinion, it would be better to kill him..."
Jin Ruohong, on the other hand, spoke with a gloomy expression, her eyes filled with jealousy.
This person's abilities are definitely superior to his son's; keeping him alive would be a huge threat to his son.
"Shut up!"
However, Jin Tianchi roared angrily and said in a deep voice, "Put away your thoughts. This person has embarked on the cycle of reincarnation in the Undying City of the Golden Crow Clan. From now on, he is an honored guest of the Golden Crow Clan. Anyone who dares to disrespect him will be sentenced to death!"
He has a broad perspective and will not let minor displeasure cloud his rational judgment.
This person's ability to enter the Samsara Palace means he is no longer someone the Golden Crow clan can associate with.
The only option is to befriend them!
Jin Ruohong and the others were all ugly.
"No, he... wants to take the second step?"
At that moment, someone else suddenly spoke up!
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze once again focused on the Cycle of Reincarnation above.
At this moment, Li Lan stood on the first black and white step and indeed took a step toward the second step.
He's not going to stop!
According to the information he collected, the two people in history who faced life and death did not just walk through one step.
Therefore, Li Lan's goal is to reach the third tier!
The black and white staircase was indeed terrifying, possessing powerful reincarnation energy, but it was still not enough for Li Lan.
He could easily walk the entire black and white staircase.
However, his goal is only to enter the Samsara Palace; showing off too much is not a good thing.
Beside him, Jin Zhennan stared at Li Lan, somewhat dumbfounded.
At first, on the first step, he looked down on Li Lan and the ugly woman with utter contempt, as if watching ants struggle.
However, when Li Lan actually stepped onto the platform, he was shocked, and at the same time, intense hatred and jealousy welled up within him.
He had just ascended to the altar, revered by the world, when suddenly, someone stronger and better than him appeared?
How could he not be jealous?
Seeing that Li Lan still wanted to rush forward, he felt an intense anticipation welling up inside him, wishing he could see Li Lan shattered to pieces immediately...
"You can't do it, you'll die!"
He whispered it almost unconsciously.
But the next moment—
Li Lan took a firm step forward. As he approached the second step, his body swayed slightly, but he still landed steadily on the second step!
Upon seeing this, the entire audience erupted in cheers once again.
"The second step, he actually climbed the second step!"
"This is a true genius. Reaching the second level doesn't seem difficult for him at all."
"Indeed, in comparison, Jin Zhennan's reliance on external resources has limited his achievements; he simply lacks the courage and ability to break through to the second level!"
Everyone was shocked.
Once you step onto the first step, you will officially gain the approval of the Samsara Palace.
Everyone knows that the higher you go, the better your aptitude, and the more valued you will be after entering the Samsara Palace.
At the first step, Li Lan had already shown that he was better than Jin Zhennan, and now he was completely crushing him!
"How could this be..."
On the first step, Jin Zhennan was shocked once again. He stared at Li Lan in disbelief, dumbfounded!
Someone actually managed to climb the second step...
Originally, fueled by the envy and flattery of the world, he had built up unparalleled self-confidence, considering himself invincible and brimming with ambition. But now, he suddenly began to doubt himself…
Although a god-king's soul died in his place, he had already personally experienced a life-or-death situation. Asking him to go through it all again... he simply didn't have the courage.
At that moment, Li Lan did not stop, but stepped towards the third step!
Jin Zhennan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Is this guy really so fearless that he doesn't even care about life and death?
Outside, and inside the city, everyone gasped in surprise once again. Everyone stared intently at Li Lan, and the city inexplicably fell silent.
The third step!
Many powerful forces know that this is a real threshold, because in the past, the two people who walked through the cycle of reincarnation only reached the third step.
As long as he can step onto that platform, it means that Li Lan can stand shoulder to shoulder with those two people. His future achievements will be unimaginable and will surpass even the God Emperor!
Everyone held their breath, and at this moment, as Li Lan approached the third step, his body swayed even more violently.
His legs were trembling, his face was deathly pale, and he was drenched in sweat!
He didn't find it too difficult to cross the first and second lanes, but now it felt like he was facing an immense pressure.
--In reality, this was naturally something Li Lan was deliberately putting on.
If he were to easily ascend the third step, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Moreover, his current reaction is entirely based on the third level. He believes that even the two predecessors who successfully passed the level in the past should have reacted in a similar way to him now.
He gritted his teeth, and at the same time, a strong sense of pain welled up in his eyes. Suddenly, he let out a roar from the depths of his soul, and with all his might, he finally took the third step, shakily, and landed on the third step.
He was almost instantly exhausted, collapsing to the ground, breathing heavily, with a deep look of lingering fear in his eyes!
He succeeded!
"He actually succeeded!"
"Yet another person, truly relying on their own efforts to embark on the path of reincarnation, has appeared again!"
In an instant, the entire city of Bu Luo was in an uproar!
Everyone was watching Li Lan with intense interest, and they were all talking about it!
At this moment, everyone had completely ignored Jin Zhennan and was staring at Li Lan as if he were an unparalleled god-king. The scrutiny, doubt, and speculation in their eyes had all disappeared, leaving only reverence!
"We have witnessed a miracle, which will surely be recorded in the ancient history of spiritual practice!"
"Yes, he is the true third person in history. Compared to him, Jin Zhennan is nothing!"
"We must befriend him and investigate quickly to find out if he has any relatives or powerful connections. We must treat him with great courtesy!"
All the major powers were in a hurry to act. Some were investigating Li Lan's background, while others were preparing various gifts.
"Is everything ready?!"
The envoys from the Divine Court were now extremely anxious!
He was absolutely certain that a new star had officially risen.
You must cultivate a good relationship with this kind of person!
Today, this person is just a rogue cultivator in the city of Bu Luo, but from now on, the difference between them will be like heaven and earth. It's possible that when the God Emperor of their Divine Court goes to the Hall of Reincarnation to pay homage to him in the future, he might have to bow to him!
"how so……"
As for the Golden Crow Clan, Jin Ruohong was completely dumbfounded!
When Li Lan and his son stood on the same steps, he was extremely displeased, feeling that Li Lan was not worthy at all, and even had murderous intent due to jealousy and resentment.
but now……
Killing intent?
Even his jealousy and envy vanished!
The other party and his son Jin Zhennan are not even in the same league.
The difference between barely reaching the first level by cheating and reaching the third level on one's own is enormous!
"Prepare gifts immediately and treat him with the respect due to a god-king!"
At this moment, the Supreme Elder Jin Tianchi spoke solemnly!
Upon hearing this, the Golden Crow Clan members were even more shocked—a God-King's Ceremony!
"Isn't this going a bit too far...?"
Someone muttered.
But at that very moment, a grand voice resounded from the ancestral land of the Golden Crow clan:
"The Golden Crow Clan, illuminating the past, congratulates fellow Daoist on stepping onto the third stage! The Golden Crow Clan warmly welcomes you!"
These are the voices of the two great god-kings of the Golden Crow Clan!
In an instant, everyone in the Golden Crow clan was shocked.
This person stepped onto the third step, and actually alarmed the God King?
"The God King Yaogu and the God King Randao actually called this person... Fellow Daoist!"
"Regardless of his background, from this moment on, he is already enough to command the attention of a God-King level expert!"
"What does it mean to defy fate? This is what it means to defy fate!"
People are deeply moved!
Once I break through the barrier between life and death, and embark on the path of reincarnation, even the God King bows his head before me!
What an honor!
……
And this moment.
On the third step, Li Lan looked extremely tired, and he let out a sigh of relief.
"Having transcended life and death and passed three trials, one can become a registered disciple of the Samsara Palace, granted a royal city, enjoy incense offerings, establish a lineage, and wield power over a region—"
A grand voice followed immediately, and at the same time, a dazzling and profound yellow light descended as if from the deepest abyss, instantly landing on Li Lan.
The three cycles of reincarnation immediately appeared!
