That's What Villains Are Like

Jiang Lan's figure stepped down from the starry sky. In the Yingzhao Dojo, almost all the elders knelt down and knelt down, calling him a saint with incomparable enthusiasm and reverence.

At the same time, many figures appeared in the starry sky outside the territory, worshiping there and wanting to meet the saint.

These people are all old monsters from various ethnic groups in the Four Directions Star Territory. They can be regarded as beings with a rich heritage in the clan. They have lived for at least several thousand years, and they have all gained a lot of benefits from this return of luck and blessings.

However, Jiang Lan was not interested in meeting these people. After returning to Yingzhao Dojo, he summoned the Wanling Blood Puppet and transformed into Zhou Yuan to deal with the people in Yingzhao Dojo.

At the same time, he issued an order to have many senior officials of the Immortal Alliance cooperate with Murong Qiutang to coordinate the management of the four star regions.

After entering the Nine Realms of Ascension, Jiang Lan had a deeper understanding and understanding of the next path of cultivation, and he would also need some time to settle and digest it.

After the news of Jiang Lan's sanctification swept the entire Sifang Star Territory, major earthquakes occurred one after another in the next few days.

With the help of the Immortal Alliance, Murong Qiutang of Mantuo Ancient Star used thunder and iron blood to take over the territory previously controlled by Lu Wushan.

The Chongxingxingyu and Gouchenxingyu are also responding to the orders of the Immortal Alliance and cooperating with Murong Qiutang to let her spread her influence there. Everyone can see that she and Jiang Lan have a close relationship.

It can be said that she is now Jiang Lan's spokesperson in the Sifang Star Territory.

Taoist traditions and ethnic groups from all walks of life wanted to come to the Yingzhao Dojo to see Jiang Lan, bringing congratulatory gifts, but they were all turned away and did not see Jiang Lan in person.

After a sudden appearance outside the starry sky that day, Jiang Lan disappeared and fell into a short retreat, sorting out the gains in all aspects and laying down a solid foundation.

During this period, the entire world of Kyushu was undergoing amazing changes.

All living beings can clearly feel the changes in cultivation and lifespan. The bottleneck seems to be easier to break than before, and they can feel the rules of the world more clearly and intuitively.

Characters with hidden backgrounds who had been gathering dust for a long time have also appeared one after another, hoping to fight for another life and compete with God for their fate.

Relics and caves appeared one after another in various places, and fragments of small worlds buried deep in time and space fell into the world, attracting monks from all walks of life to fight for them.

In some places, divine light soared into the sky, Buddhist chants sang, resounding throughout the nine heavens, and those lost inheritances were also reappearing...

Everyone knows that this will be the beginning of a new dazzling golden age.

As various ancient ruins emerged, news about the outside world also spread quietly and secretly. Even in some territories of Kyushu, spokesmen who claimed to be the inheritance of a certain civilization or a certain great world began to appear, attracting attention. All parties discussed and attracted attention.

Of course, the territory of Kyushu is also expanding all the time. The sea water recedes and exposed trenches rise. Pieces of ancient and vast continents are pushed towards Kyushu slowly.

In the vast starry sky outside the territory, there are also ancient living stars that are pulled by a supreme power. They are constantly approaching and will border the land of Kyushu at any time.

Yingzhao Dojo, underground black water prison, the environment is humid and dark.

Only a few kerosene lamps were lit beside the corridor, and there were some scattered white skeletons in the corners, which looked gloomy.

Qi Qingxuan, Shang Mingyu and others were imprisoned here.

Everyone had a gloomy look on their faces. Qi Qingxuan, who used to be calm and confident, was even more disheveled and extremely embarrassed. Apparently during this period, due to some things, he was whipped and tortured by the disciples of Yingzhao Dojo. , and there was a deep whip mark on his face.

His old slave Wei Gong's cultivation level was sealed, and he couldn't help him at this time. He could only watch him being whipped and was helpless.

"I can feel the changes in the atmosphere between heaven and earth. When the heaven and earth change greatly and the fate of the Lord of the human world decreases, I will be able to survive this crisis..."

"Why is the Demon God Wushang still not out of trouble? He is such a cunning Demon God, how could he be trapped in the Demon Suppressing Well?"

Qi Qingxuan grasped the black iron lock pillar in the prison with both hands and looked at the dim corridor, still harboring the last hope in his heart.

At this moment, as if in response to what he was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared in the dark and silent corridor.

Qi Qingxuan was startled at first, his eyes widened a little, and then he slowly saw the approaching figure clearly, but his whole person suddenly froze on the spot, dumbfounded.

"How is it possible..." he muttered, his eyes full of disbelief.

Jiang Lan?

How come he is here?

This is the first time Qi Qingxuan has seen Jiang Lan in a real sense. Before, he had only seen his figure through the portraits of his subordinates.

"I forgot to tell you that the Demon God Wushang has been executed long ago. You can't count on him."

Jiang Lan walked over slowly, her tone even more casual.

At his current level of cultivation, after the Heart Tao Fruit has matured to the second stage, he only needs to take a look at Qi Qingxuan to know what is on his mind.

For him, there are not many secrets that can be hidden from him in the world.

"What?"

Upon hearing the news, Qi Qingxuan was stunned again and couldn't believe his ears.

Shang Mingyu, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner with his eyes closed, also opened his clear eyes and looked at Jiang Lan with a hint of complexity.

The last time she and Jiang Lan met, it was in the imperial capital of Daxia. There were some misunderstandings over the auction of the overseas stone. Jiang Lan invited him to a banquet and she went to the appointment. After a conversation, the grudge was resolved.

Today, when we meet again, it's the same situation.

"You don't believe it, do you?" Jiang Lan walked to the front of the dungeon.

At this time, Qi Qingxuan noticed a dark shadow silently following Jiang Lan, it was "Zhou Yuan".

However, "Zhou Yuan" looked a little strange at this time, his expression was hollow and numb, without any agility, just like a puppet.

Qi Qingxuan was suddenly horrified, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he said in a trembling voice, "You...you killed him?"

"No, I just gave him a new life, and he will live forever with me, and personally watch me reach the top, and he will be proud of it."

Jiang Lan smiled faintly, then threw it away, and a broken blood-stained robe fell in front of Qi Qingxuan.

"This is?"

"Is this the imperial master's robe?"

Seeing this object, Qi Qingxuan was dizzy again, and the last hope in his heart was shattered.

He always thought that the national master Shang Yuanji and the Wushang Demon God would come to rescue him, so he endured the ridicule and torture of the disciples who guarded the prison at Yingzhao Dojo.

Who knew the ending would be like this.

Shang Mingyu was also shocked. She was extremely smart and had already reacted. Now that "Zhou Yuan" has fallen into Jiang Lan's hands, it is estimated that the fate of Wushang Demon God and Shang Yuanji will not be good either.

"Catching a turtle in an urn, who becomes the turtle in the end..." Her back was filled with cold air.

Jiang Lan actually didn't come here for Qi Qingxuan. When he was stabilizing his realm, he discovered more benefits of the ball of mind.

There are three stages in the Nine Realms of Ascension, which actually correspond to the three levels of transformation and transition in the small world.

Generally speaking, it is to understand the laws of space and time, the laws of time, as well as creation from the void and creation out of nothing.

After understanding the law of time and space, you can easily manipulate and change the time and space in the small world and master the power of time and space. After understanding the law of time, it is also easy to control the flow rate of time.

When you are truly able to turn stones into gold and create things out of the void, you will become what the world calls the most perfect, most wisdom-savvy, and omniscient great sage. At the same time, you will also have the opportunity to transform the small world into a medium-thousand world with vast and infinite power and transcendence. Hard to imagine.

Of course, after becoming a saint, Jiang Lan also knew that these methods were relative, and it was simply beyond the realm of Ascension to affect the space and time of the outside world.

After all, the levels of the world are essentially different.

Jiang Lan, who possesses the Fruit of Worlds and the Fruit of Years, has already mastered the power of all realms and the power of years. In fact, both are derivatives of the laws of space and time and the laws of time, and are essentially the same.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Lan manages his own small world step by step, so that the World Dao Fruit and Sui Dao Fruit continue to mature, his cultivation level will also transform and rise accordingly.

In the process, Jiang Lan also discovered the strangeness of the Heart Tao Fruit. The condensed Mind Ball provides a lot of energy that can assist all Tao Fruits to mature.

This is a mutually reinforcing process. As long as he has enough power of mind, his cultivation speed will even be far faster than before.

But just relying on himself to condense the ball of mind would waste a lot of time, and he didn't have that much energy.

This reminded Jiang Lan of the most precious ball of ambition in Shang Mingyu's hand.

This ball is a treasure that was refined by the whole country in the Shang Dynasty. It can sense the people's aspirations and absorb their beliefs, thereby controlling the direction of the country's destiny.

After all, only when people are united as one can we better unite the destiny of the country.

The founding emperor of the Shang Dynasty had obtained the method of sacrificing the mind, and with the help of this method of practice, he finally refined the ball of great aspirations.

In Shang Mingyu's hands, many of the magical features of this ball cannot be brought out at all, and can only be said to be a pearl covered in dust.

Jiang Lan plans to refine this treasure again through the Tao Fruit of the Heart, so that he can extract the power of the mind between heaven and earth, condense the ball of mind, and help him practice.

After becoming a saint this time, he relied on his luck and blessings to support him and share in the good fortune. Naturally, he also won the hearts of the people and his reputation increased steadily.

The gratitude, reverence, admiration, admiration and other thoughts towards him are pouring in every moment.

This is different from the power of faith, which requires a pious heart and firm belief.

The power of mind is just a mysterious power that reminds him. Even hatred, hostility, and anger can provide him with the power of mind.

In other words, from the moment he became a saint, it meant that Jiang Lan once again had another way besides harvesting the power of luck.

At present, his influence is only within the scope of Jiuzhou. When it spreads to all walks of life, the power of his thoughts will be simply beyond imagination.

"Miss Mingyu, long time no see. How are you?"

Jiang Lan returned to his thoughts, smiled, and ignored Qi Qingxuan, but looked at Shang Mingyu in the cage.

He always liked to be polite before fighting. Shang Yuanji is dead, and now the remnants of the Shang Dynasty are naturally dominated by Shang Mingyu.

And appeasing the remnants of the Shang Dynasty will naturally bring him a lot of power of thoughts. Once reputation is spread, its influence is absolutely unquestionable.

Passed from one word to another, in the near future, Jiang Lan's gentle, elegant, magnanimous, gentle and courteous voice will be heard all over the world.

Of course, if he does something extreme, massacres all over the place, and causes an uproar, he will naturally gain notoriety and the power of his mind.

It's just that the power of thoughts brought about by this will be mixed with some karma, and it will reap its own consequences and suffer backlash in the future.

If not necessary, Jiang Lan still wants to establish herself as a good person.

"I have met Saint Jiang Lan..."

Shang Mingyu didn't expect Jiang Lan to say hello to him. After being stunned for a moment, he stood up and politely went back.

But the title had completely changed compared to before, and even she didn't realize the awe in her tone.

"Miss Mingyu and I are secretly against each other. Logically speaking, I should deal with you according to your status as a remnant of the Shang Dynasty. But last time at Yun Lantai in Daxia, you and I had a very happy conversation and the misunderstanding was resolved."

"I always thought that you and I could be friends. Who knew that things would change forever, and you would secretly assist this guy and go against me." Jiang Lan said with regret.

Shang Mingyu was silent for a moment, with a hint of gloominess in his clear eyes.

She shoulders the responsibility of restoring the country, so it is naturally impossible for her to cooperate with Jiang Lan. After all, he is on the side of the Queen of Great Xia.

So her only way was to secretly support Qi Qingxuan, but who knew that Qi Qingxuan had a bad year, met Jiang Lan, and fell to this point.

All I can say is that this is how it is meant to be.

"Although Miss Mingyu is against me, I have always been magnanimous and open-minded. I can put past grievances in the past."

"Even, I can arrange territory for you, the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, and help you establish a country, but from now on, you must respect Daxia." Jiang Lan said again.

"What?"

Shang Mingyu's clear eyes kept widening, almost suspecting that he heard wrongly.

Even the many masters from hundreds of overseas sects behind her opened their eyes wide, full of shock and disbelief.

The matter has reached this point. Not only does Jiang Lan let things go, he is even willing to let them go and help Dashang build the country?

Are there really such good things in the world?

"What do I need to do?"

Shang Mingyu was very sober and quickly realized that there was no pie falling from the sky. What else could they, the prisoners, have that was worthy of Jiang Lan's plans?

With Jiang Lan's current strength, it is only a matter of a few seconds to destroy hundreds of overseas sects and the remnants of the Shang Dynasty.

Although Jiang Lan has always been a romantic person, Shang Mingyu does not think that he is plotting against his body and appearance.

The only possibility is probably the Shang Dynasty's greatest treasure, the Ball of Ambition in her hand.

"Miss Mingyu is so smart, I must have expected it."

"You and I are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite." Jiang Lan was still smiling.

Shang Mingyu was silent for a moment. Jiang Lan did not directly snatch it, but gave them preferential treatment and generous conditions. What else could they be dissatisfied with?

condition? They were not qualified to talk to Jiang Lan at all.

"I understand, thank you very much, Mr. Jiang Lan, for your forgiveness."

Shang Mingyu did not hesitate. In his slender palm, a burst of light surged, and along with the sacred aura, a round sphere like the bright moon rolled out from there.

There is a torrent of light flowing on the surface, a vast expanse, and all kinds of miracles are being performed inside all the time. You can even hear ancient sacrificial sounds and aspirations.

"This is the Ball of Ambition, but I have already refined it. If I can dispel it, it will probably take a few days." Shang Mingyu told the truth.

"Great Wish Technique..."

Jiang Lan looked at the ball. He knew that it contained a supreme magical power. Even the founding emperor of the Shang Dynasty had never succeeded in cultivating it. Later generations of the royal family did not even know this secret.

There is no doubt about the power of the Great Wish Technique. According to records and inheritance, it was once created by a world master who had a feeling when he ascended to immortality and reached the other side. The sound of the great wish he left behind can even reverberate in the long river of time to this day.

When he becomes an immortal, all living creatures will live forever with him and enjoy freedom and ease...

As soon as this technique is performed, the power of billowing great aspirations emerges, reflecting the heavens, manifesting the past and present, and no one can stop it.

Jiang Lan thought that he had obtained the four-page wordless heavenly book before. After entering the Nine Realms, he could then start to understand the innate immortal patterns in it and practice the immortal arts recorded in it.

With the mysterious ancient vines around, these four innate immortal patterns were not difficult for him to comprehend at all.

"Shang Mingyu, you also betrayed me..."

Qi Qingxuan watched Shang Mingyu hand over the ball of ambition that he had coveted for a long time, and his heart became even more unwilling and twisted.

He is a direct descendant of the Daxia royal family, the first heir to the imperial edict left by the late emperor himself, the future emperor, and the lord of the human world...

"Master Jiang Lan, do you still want to keep this person?"

Shang Mingyu's expression became indifferent. She was not an indecisive person. After choosing to accept Jiang Lan's conditions, Qi Qingxuan lost any value in her eyes.

"You bitch." Qi Qingxuan stared at her with a ferocious expression on his face.

"He's still useful. I'm going to use him to lure out some big fish." Jiang Lan glanced at Qi Qingxuan.

Qi Qingxuan looked at him full of hatred, gritted his teeth and said, "You don't want me to surrender and obey your orders. I am the future emperor, who can order me?"

Jiang Lan could clearly feel that Qi Qingxuan's heart had undergone obvious changes after several ups and downs. It was saturated with obscure and dark energy and evil spirits were growing.

Even if Demon God Wushang gave him a lot of benefits and opened up the wisdom of the four directions for him, it would not have much effect.

But this is just right for him to attract the attention of those who live in the dark demonic realm.

"It's not up to you..."

Jiang Lan smiled faintly and raised his hand. Qi Qingxuan suddenly trembled uncontrollably. He felt that some kind of breath was raging in his body and was about to rush out of his body.

The next moment, a bright ray of light, like the aura of Houtu Huangtian, rushed out from the center of his eyebrows, then circled for a while, and rushed towards his sea of ​​​​consciousness again, trying to infiltrate his soul.

Qi Qingxuan was horrified, his face full of fear.

"Have you forgotten, who gave you that spirit of society?" Jiang Lan asked.
