In this strange world, in this strange underground palace, Chu Xingyun originally didn't think that he would meet someone he was familiar with here.
However, looking at the figure in front of him, Chu Xingyun felt as if he was dreaming, a dream that didn't feel real at all. It was an extremely illusory dream.
The person in front of him was none other than Luo Lan!
Back then, in the True Spirit World, in the battle against the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Night Palace, in order to protect Chu Xingyun and the innocent old, young, and women, Luo Lan overdrew her life and activated the Green Lotus Forbidden Technique.
Although Luo Lan successfully protected Chu Xingyun and the old, young, and women, she paid the price with her life.
In that battle, Luo Lan condensed into a seven-colored lotus. Although she still had a thread of life, even Chu Xingyun didn't know how to revive her.
However, now, in the Ancient Battlefield, in the underground palace of the Southern Wasteland City, Chu Xingyun actually saw Luo Lan again. All of this … was really too strange.
Joyfully floating around Chu Xingyun, Luo Lan said, "Big Brother Chu, how did you know I was here? How did you find me? Heavens … I really didn't expect that there would be a day when we would meet again in this life! "
With a bitter smile, Chu Xingyun said, "Let's go … Take me to where you are and then activate the concealment array. Otherwise, if those tomb robbers discover our location, we'll be in danger."
Yes, yes, yes …
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Luo Lan deeply agreed with him and nodded. She led the way and floated towards the passage.
Following behind Luo Lan, Chu Xingyun entered the passage. Then … the passage became a wall again as spatial energy fluctuated. Not a single trace of it could be seen.
Following the passage, a valley-shaped underground cave appeared in front of them.
The reason it was called a valley was not because this place was surrounded by underground mountains in winter.
In fact, the surrounding walls were no different from the other walls of the underground palace.
The only difference was that there was only one passageway leading to this place, which was the one they had just entered.
Within an underground cave with a diameter of over a thousand meters, an underground river meandered through.
On both sides of the underground river, there were two patches of green grass. On the grass, rows of Ghost Flowers were neatly arranged.
Upon closer inspection, the underground river flowed down from a high place, forming a waterfall several hundred meters long that fell into a pool below.
At the edge of the pool, there was a pavilion carved out of white jade. On the jade table in the pavilion, there was a rainbow-colored lotus with sparkling and translucent dewdrops.
Chu Xingyun couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the rainbow-colored lotus. Chu Xingyun knew that the rainbow-colored lotus was actually the essence of Luo Lan's body. It had been condensed into her corpse.
Under Luo Lan's lead, Chu Xingyun followed the cobblestone path and entered the white jade pavilion.
Sitting on the white jade stool, Chu Xingyun looked at Luo Lan and asked with concern, "What's going on? Why are you here? How did you get here?"
Luo Lan nodded in response to Chu Xingyun's question and slowly explained.
During the battle back then, Luo Lan had overexerted her origin power. Therefore, although she hadn't died completely and had turned into a lotus, it was extremely difficult for her to come back to life.
All this time, Luo Lan had been half-awake and half-asleep. Every day, she was muddle-headed.
She had seen everything that Chu Xingyun had experienced along the way. However, she had only seen it.
Over 100 years ago, on the Great Desolate Star, after the great tribulation, the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor had driven Chu Xingyun's original body to lure Di Tianyi into the Starry Sea in order to win enough time for him to cultivate.
About 100 years ago, the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor had entered the Starry Sea in order to fight against Di Tianyi and escape better. Therefore, he had entered the Primordial Battlefield immediately.
As one of the top 10 experts on the Emperor Ranking, the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor was naturally invincible in the primary-level Primordial Battlefield. He had been invincible all the way to the Southern Desolate City.
Before entering the second Primordial Battlefield, the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor had forcefully broken through the spatial seal of the underground palace and entered it. He had also arranged for Luo Lan to stay there.
According to the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor, there was indeed a strange rebirth power in the underground palace. In another 100 years, this rebirth power would erupt. After absorbing the rebirth power, one would be able to come back to life.
After placing Luo Lan there, the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor turned around and left to continue his cultivation journey.
After listening to Luo Lan's explanation, Chu Xingyun finally understood what had happened.
Back on the Great Desolate Star, the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor had swapped bodies with Chu Xingyun in order to protect Chu Xingyun.
The remnant soul of the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor had driven Chu Xingyun's body and lured Di Tianyi into the Starry Sea.
According to the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor, he had bought Chu Xingyun at least 1,000 years of time.
Within 1,000 years, Chu Xingyun had to seize every moment and cultivate diligently.
Otherwise, if Di Tianyi returned after 1,000 years and Chu Xingyun was still not strong enough, Di Tianyi would definitely die.
Not only would Chu Xingyun die, but Shui Liu Xiang would also definitely die!
Since the body had been controlled by the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor, everything that had been on it had naturally fallen into his hands.
Therefore, when they had passed by this underground palace, the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor had placed Luo Lan there and given her a chance to come back to life.
After understanding what had happened, Chu Xingyun asked with concern, "What's up with the power of resurrection? What can be done to increase the probability of resurrection? "
In response to Chu Xingyun's question, Luo Lan frowned and said, "According to the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor, the paradise we are in now is one of the sources of the Qi of Resurrection."
Chu Xingyun nodded in understanding and said, "In that case, you are the only one here. Doesn't that mean you will definitely succeed?"
Luo Lan smiled bitterly and nodded. "In theory, that is indeed the case. However, the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor said that my origin source was too damaged and it would be best to find another Primordial Green Lotus to condense a clone. Otherwise …"
Chu Xingyun sighed. He also knew that back then, in order to protect him, Luo Lan had overdrawn her origin source.
Therefore, until now, Luo Lan didn't even have a corpse. The essence of her body had only condensed into a lotus seed.
Other resurrected people had perfectly preserved corpses. Therefore, with the help of the power of resurrection, it was very easy to come back to life.
However, Luo Lan couldn't do that. She only had one lotus seed. After losing so much of her origin source, even if she had enough power of resurrection, she might only be able to condense a living lotus seed.
However, where exactly could he find the Primordial Green Lotus?
When she saw Chu Xingyun's worried expression, Luo Lan smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry too much. The Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor said that the Primordial Green Lotus is too rare. If he can find it, he will return and give it to me."
After a pause, Luo Lan continued, "However, more than a hundred years have passed. After the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor left, he hasn't returned. It's obvious that … he hasn't found it either."
Chu Xingyun took a deep breath and said, "Just because the Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Emperor can't find it doesn't mean that I can't either. Don't worry … No matter what, I will do my best to find it."
