When King Iron Wing died, Li Anran finally put an end to all his obsessions and worries.
As for those disciples, if he has the opportunity to descend to earth in the future, he will give them some opportunities to compensate.
If there is no chance, then so be it.
Although these disciples died because of him, they themselves were orphans and refugees. Without his help, they might have died of hunger and illness long ago.
Li Anran only apologized slightly to them and didn't feel much guilt.
Time flies and half a month passes.
The prison was as peaceful as ever, with not even a new prisoner arriving.
Li Anran originally thought that after Boss Kang went back to express his feelings to Yang Jian, Yang Jian would come to him soon.
However, after waiting for almost a month, there was no movement.
Li Anran couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
In the Mortal-style novels I read in my previous life, high-level monks could see through the cultivation of low-level monks at a glance.
But in Journey to the West, this is not the case.
Li Anran has read the lives of so many prisoners, including immortals, immortals, and even the golden immortals of King Yu Tao, but none of them have this ability.
There should be no monsters on Monkey's pilgrimage to the West.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so bold as to fight the monkeys.
Li Anran wanted to know how Yang Jian did this. Was it through perception, magic or his heavenly eye?
How many people can do this?
Only by knowing this can he take countermeasures.
However, judging from the fact that the Jade Emperor sent Taibai Jinxing to urgently summon Yang Jian to see Yang Jian that day and that Yang Jian did not deal with the sinners with solid evidence for so many days, he should be entangled in a major and urgent matter.
However, Li Anran didn't feel comfortable going to him at this time, so he could only endure the anxiety in his heart, stay in the prison, and work hard to improve his strength.
After re-reading the cultivation experiences of the gods and monsters in the prison, Li Anran also wanted to understand one thing -
Without sufficient foundation to support it, cultivation is just a hard work. Without tens or hundreds of years of time investment, it is impossible to achieve success.
Instead of investing his time and energy in cultivation, he might as well spend it on learning spells, formations, alchemy, and weapon refining, and transform them into skills recognized by the system as soon as possible.
The most reliable, convenient and quick way to improve your cultivation is through experience points.
As a result, the heavenly soldiers and generals in the heavenly prison discovered another characteristic of their boss——
Practice extremely hard!
From morning to night, twelve hours a day, unless you have something to deal with, you should stay in the Tianlao Quiet Room to practice!
Unlike other gods, he is free and easy every day, either visiting friends or discussing mysteries. He is a complete cultivator!
The harvest is naturally also extreme.
In one month, Li Anran's skill bar has added a lot of new content.
Tai Chi Formation (Level 3), Liang Yi Formation (Level 3), Four Symbols Formation (Level 3), Five Elements Formation (Level 3), Yin Yang Soul Locking Formation (Level 2), Golden Gate Iron Locking Formation (Level 3) )……
The grades of these formations are generally between the third and fourth levels.
However, this does not mean that the upper limit of these formations is this, but that the upper limit of the formations that Li Anran learned from the life of the gods only reaches this point.
This is just like the Ju Ling Sending General he understood after listening to the incomplete sermon is a sixth-level spell, but after listening to the complete sermon, the Ju Ling Sending General was upgraded to the seventh level. It is the same truth.
Li Anran did not skimp on this bit of experience and upgraded all the formations to the full level in one breath.
Because there is a correlation between different formations, if one improves, the understanding of the other will also improve.
In total, Li Anran only used less than two million experience points to upgrade more than seventy formations to the full level.
This in turn promotes the improvement of the formation level.
In the end, all formations were generally upgraded by one level, reaching the fourth level.
Li Anran's attainments in formations have also reached an extremely advanced level.
Li Anran stopped the retreat, got up and left the Tianlao Palace, and observed the Tianlao Palace from a high position.
The vicious and resentful atmosphere around Tianlao is extremely strong, but once you leave Tianlao Palace, the evil energy will drop off a cliff. This is obviously not a normal phenomenon.
Soon, Li Anran discovered the clues.
The buildings of Tianlao Palace were not built randomly, but were arranged according to the stars of Ziwei.
At the corresponding positions of the fourteen main stars, a corresponding building was built, such as the martial arts training ground for Wuqu, the study room for Wenqu, etc., thereby sealing the evil spirit in the Tianlao within the scope of the Tianlao Palace.
"interesting."
Li Anran couldn't understand it before, but now that he has gained some knowledge in formations, the more he looks at it, the more amazing it becomes, and he is immersed in it.
Time passed unconsciously, and half a month passed in a flash.
Li Anran's eyes were dull, but there seemed to be thousands of stars flowing in his mind.
Among them, the fourteen main stars representing the Ziwei Stars suddenly shined brightly, connected with each other, and exploded outward like the beginning of the universe, as if they were going to assimilate and submerge everything.
When all this reaches its limit.
Li Anran opened his eyes suddenly and came back to his senses.
There is a new formation in the skill bar.
Ziwei Star Fighting Formation: Level 6. Current level: Level 1. 21/100.
"Upgrade the Ziwei Star Dou Magic Formation to level five."
With a thought in Li Anran's mind, he threw down one million experience points, and countless understandings about the Ziwei Star Dou Array suddenly flooded into his mind.
After a while, Li Anran opened his eyes, and thousands of stars surged in his eyes, but quickly disappeared.
The gap between high-grade formations and low-grade formations was far greater than he imagined!
The gains he gained from just this Ziwei Star Fighting Formation were almost more than the sum total of his previous understanding of the formations!
Li Anran lowered his head and returned to the prison cell, waving his fingers in the air.
Rays of golden light followed his fingers and stopped in mid-air. Finally, a small crape myrtle star formation with a diameter of two meters was formed around him!
In the formation, the spiritual energy is rich, but there is no vicious and resentful air at all!
"It's done!" A slight smile appeared on Li Anran's lips.
The reason why Tianlao is the place where heavenly soldiers and generals are least willing to come is because the evil and resentment in Tianlao is deep-rooted!
When they get here, it is basically equivalent to the end of their cultivation and the end of their lives. They can only endure until their lifespan is exhausted and they are reincarnated.
This is also the reason why many monks and heavenly soldiers would rather go to the front line to fight than come to the heavenly prison to serve as jailers!
But with this Ziwei Star Dou Magic Formation, everything is different!
There are few people in the Heavenly Prison and you can practice at will. It can definitely be regarded as a first-class place in Heaven!
However, the Heavenly Prison is the main place where the Heavenly Court detains prisoners, so this matter must be reported to the Judicial Heavenly Temple!
"Perfect!"
Li Anran found a suitable reason, and without saying a word, he drove an auspicious cloud and flew towards the Judiciary Temple.
Unlike other palaces in the heaven, the Temple of Judiciary hangs alone outside the nine heavens, dark and gloomy, and the silence is filled with deep loneliness and a bone-chilling chill.
As soon as Li Anran approached, he was stopped by the grass-headed god guarding the door.
Li Anran said: "Li Anran asks to see the God of Justice. Please inform me."
The grass-headed god on the left once stayed in the Heavenly Prison and knew Li Anran. He said respectfully: "Prison God, please wait a moment." He turned and entered the Judiciary Heavenly Temple.
Not long after, he came back and said, "Prison God, please come with me." He led Li Anran all the way inside.
Other heavenly palaces, even the Tianlao Palace, are all built very luxuriously, with rich doors and blue doors, golden walls and red roofs, thousands of rays of light, and thousands of auspicious auras.
However, the architectural style of the Judiciary Temple is simple. There are no jade pillars, golden bridges, and exotic flowers and plants. The whole body is black with silver patterns, without any decoration.
Why does this Judiciary Temple feel even more deserted than the Heavenly Prison!
Li Anran noticed that the Judiciary Temple was empty.
The guards were all grass-headed gods under Yang Jian, but their number was only a few dozen.
When he arrived at the door of the inner hall, Cao Tou Shen stopped and said, "Master Prisoner, the ones ahead are not accessible to young people."
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Anran thanked him and walked into the inner hall.
Yang Jian, dressed in black uniform, was sitting behind the desk with two thick stacks of files in front of him.
"Second Master." Li Anran bowed respectfully.
Yang Jian nodded slightly and asked, "Brother Li, why did you come to see me today?"
Li Anran felt a little strange inexplicably, but he still respectfully reported to Yang Jian that he had understood the Ziwei Star Dou Magic Formation and wanted to arrange a place for the heavenly soldiers to practice on Tianlao Star.
Li Anran said: "Second Master, I have been in heaven not long ago, and I don't know if this is in compliance with the rules, so I came to ask Second Master for instructions."
Yang Jian looked at Li Anran in surprise, and after a while, he praised: "Brother Li is really a virtuous man, admirable."
It is rare for Li Anran to understand the Ziwei Star Dou Magic Formation, but it is even more surprising that he is willing to arrange a training place for the heavenly soldiers.
In the Three Realms, there are many ways to isolate the vicious and resentful energy, and there are not a few gods who have the ability to solve this problem.
However, no god has ever been willing to expend such effort for a group of heavenly soldiers!
The most they can do is seal this vicious and resentful atmosphere in the Tianlao Palace and prevent it from affecting the outside world!
Li Anran quickly waved his hand and said: "Second Master, you are overly praised! How can I be so noble! It's just because I also came from the Heavenly Soldiers and suffered from the evil spirit of the Heavenly Prison, so I thought of helping a group of people within my ability. They! They really don’t deserve Second Master’s praise!”
Yang Jian shook his head and said: "If you can raise your hand to help others when you can, you are a rare virtuous person in the world! Don't look at the many gods in the sky, but there are only a few who can do this! But there are only a few who can do this! …”
Yang Jian changed the topic and said: "After all, Tianlao is an important place in heaven, where important criminals from the three realms are imprisoned. I need to report this matter to your majesty first and ask your majesty to make a decision. General Li may have to wait for a while."
"It should be so." Li Anran quickly said that it was okay, but the weird feeling in his heart was even stronger.
The Yang Jian in front of him was too polite to him!
There is something obviously wrong with that kind of politeness with a sense of distance!
Previously, Yang Jian had been honest with him, revealing his biggest secret, his distrust of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, his worries about his future situation, and his uneasiness about the Third Holy Mother, and even asked him to take care of the Third Holy Mother.
Not to mention how close the relationship between the two is, but at least they shouldn't be so polite and distant!
There is something wrong with Yang Jian in front of him!
And the problem is very big!
Li Anran tentatively said: "Second Master, I have thought carefully about what you said before. My current cultivation level is still too weak. I am afraid it will take some time to do it."
Yang Jian said: "It doesn't matter. Just do your best."
Damn it!
Li Anran's heart tightened, and he judged almost instantly that the Yang Jian in front of him was fake!
But soon, he calmed down again.
There are only two possibilities for the fake Yang Jian in front of him.
The first is the change of the gangster.
The second is Yang Jian's instruction.
If it's the former, he is definitely no match, and exposing it will be a dead end!
If it's the latter, the purpose must be to cover up the fact that Yang Jian is not in heaven, and he can't reveal it either!
Li Anran said: "My subordinates will do their best to live up to the Second Master's trust!"
During this period of time, he was used to being a paralyzed person. Although his mind was full of thoughts and he was extremely shocked, his emotions were not exposed at all.
Fake Yang Jian obviously didn't notice anything was wrong. He said "hmm" and asked, "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, you can go back! I still have so many files to correct!"
"My subordinates resign."
Li Anran calmly left the Judiciary Temple, and gradually made a judgment in his heart.
Compared to the fact that Yang Jian was transformed from a bad person, he is more inclined to believe that the fake Yang Jian was inspired by Yang Jian himself.
Firstly, this is because this is the Temple of Judiciary. There are not many people who have the ability and courage to transform into Yang Jian, and there are really not many people who can cheat.
Secondly, there are only a few dozen grass-headed gods in the Judicial Heaven Temple, and none of the Meishan brothers Roaring Heavenly Dogs are absent.
Yang Jian probably went to the mortal world to do something ulterior, so he left this fake Yang Jian here to show off.
No, it’s not something hidden!
Li Anran thought of the day the Jade Emperor sent Taibai Jinxing to urgently summon Yang Jian.
What Yang Jian is doing now should be authorized by the Jade Emperor!
Otherwise, he should not have led so many soldiers and horses, and there is a court meeting in Heaven every five days. Without the approval of the Jade Emperor, this fake Yang Jian would have been exposed long ago!
"Is he going to capture the Seven Great Sages again?"
Li Anran secretly guessed.
"If that's the case, then it's probably the Bull Demon King and the others we're dealing with!"
Since the monkeys started causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the majesty of the Heavenly Palace has been lost, and the demons in the three realms are dancing wildly.
However, the most famous and powerful among them are undoubtedly the remaining six saints!
Now King Yu Tao has been captured.
Among the remaining five saints, the Dragon Demon King and the Macaque King are each their own kings, dominating one side.
Yang Jian should not use such deceptive methods to deal with one of them.
Only the Bull Demon King, the Lion Camel King, and the Peng Demon King are the horns of each other in Xiniu Hezhou, and they pose the greatest threat to the heaven.
Li Anran also recalled that when the monkeys were seeking Buddhist scriptures in the West, the three brothers of the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle occupied the Shituol Ridge of the Lion and Camel Kingdom. The Bull Demon King was disheartened and indulged in wine and sex, and the Peng Demon King disappeared.
Looking at it this way, it is not only the Heavenly Court that has to deal with the three great sages of the Bull Demon King, but also the Lingshan Mountain.
Tianting and Lingshan may be afraid that the other monsters will huddle together, or may be for other reasons and are reluctant to attack the Bull Demon King and the three of them directly.
As a result, the golden-winged roc eagle, the yellow-tusked old elephant, and the green-haired lion monster used the name of monsters to deal with the lion camel king and occupied the lion camel ridge.
Yang Jian hid his true identity and dealt with one of the Bull Demon King or the Peng Demon King.
There might even be another strong person involved.
"...it can't be Nezha..."
Li Anran couldn't be sure.
But judging from the content in Journey to the West, Nezha is indeed the nemesis of the Bull Demon King.
Following this line of thought, Li Anran thought of the series of monsters that escaped from heaven or spiritual mountains to the mortal world on the journey to the west.
There are only so many in the mortal world, and the number of famous mountains and rivers is limited!
Every time they occupy a mountain top, they must kill the monster that originally occupied the mountain and became the king!
"If this is really the case, Tianting and Lingshan are too cruel!"
Li Anran took a breath of cold air.
Monsters eat people, monks kill monsters, this is a natural cycle, it doesn't matter what method you use!
The key is that the golden-winged roc eagle ate up all the civil and military people in the lion and camel kingdom in one go!
Heavenly Court Lingshan knew that the Golden-winged Dapeng had caused such great evil, but he left it alone. It was already appeasing the evildoer!
If they were behind all of this, then the crime would be even greater!
This heart is so dark and cruel!
Li Anran once again felt the cruelty of the world of Journey to the West.
Looking at the bright and auspicious glow in the sky, there was an eerie and terrifying feeling, as if there was a large invisible net covering his head, making him feel cold all over and restless!
Li Anran increased his speed, returned to Tianlao, and started practicing.
Only improving his strength can give him a sense of security!
