Chapter 959: Extra: Immortal World (Sixteen)
Lou Mu Lan’s words didn’t surprise Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu. They had already guessed that he was related to the person in the portrait.
“To tell you the truth, this portrait was given to me by my grandfather in the lower interface. He said that the person in the portrait is the Ancestor of our Lou Clan and hopes that I can find my Ancestor in the Immortal World and return to the main family.” Lou Mu Yan said straightforwardly.
Lou Mu Lan was startled when he heard her say this, then chuckled and said: “No wonder our names are so similar, and we have the same generation name. It turns out that we come from the same clan.”
He paused, then said with a hint of respect in his voice: “The person in this portrait is the Palace Master of our Su Immortal Palace, and also the ruler of Ling Su Immortal Realm, the Great Immortal Venerable Ling Su.”
Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu did once think that the person in the portrait might be a powerhouse from the Immortal World—after all, their Ancestor had ascended for many years already, but they didn’t expect that he would actually be the Great Immortal Venerable Ling Su himself who ruled the Ling Su Immortal Realm.
In the past, Ling Su Immortal Realm could only be ranked in the middle-level of the various Immortal Realms, and in fact, it was equivalent to a second-class force.
However, ever since Immortal Venerable Ling Su, who was in charge of the Ling Su Immortal Realm, broke through from Intermediate Immortal Venerable to Great Immortal Venerable two years ago, Ling Su Immortal Realm had been directly upgraded a level and had become an Immortal Realm close to the upper echelons.
Although Ling Su Immortal Realm couldn’t be compared to Xuan Tian Immortal Realm of her Master, Old Man Xuan Tian, but its future momentum, with a Great Immortal Venerable cultivation base person guarding the place, would definitely not be weak.
No wonder there were people from other Immortal Realms who wanted to create chaos and ‘fish in troubled waters’ before the Great Immortal Venerable had taken any drastic action.
“So it turns out that Ancestor has achieved such accomplishments after ascending.” Lou Mu Yan murmured to herself.
Lou Mu Lan took out a red and shiny stone, looked at her and said: “Place your hand on this stone and activate the bloodline power in your body. This stone will be able to test which branch you belong to in our Lou Clan.”
Lou Mu Yan looked at the red stone in his hand and smiled, covering it with both hands. She knew this was the bloodline stone.
As soon as her bloodline power was activated, the red stone bloomed with a layer of blush, rippling in circles.
After about a cup of tea’s time, the blush on the red stone stopped. Lou Mu Lan looked at it carefully and said with a smile: “I didn’t expect that we actually belong to the same branch. You can be considered my younger cousin sister.”
No wonder he felt a sense of closeness to Lou Mu Yan from the very beginning. It turned out that they had a bloodline relationship.
“Belonging to the same branch? Is the Lou Clan divided into many branches?” Lou Mu Yan also didn’t expect that she and Lou Mu Lan would be blood relatives from the same clan.
“Ancestor has been spreading his branches in the Immortal World for so many years. Gradually, the Lou Clan has formed a huge clan. There are hundreds of direct and branch families in total, and we are the closest direct line to the Ancestor’s blood.”
Lou Mu Lan continued with a smile: “When Ancestor and I were playing chess once, I overheard him mentioning his bloodline in the lower interface. It was just that in tens of thousands of years, no juniors from the lower interface of the Lou Clan had ascended, let alone know of Ancestor’s existence, and Ancestor had even felt pity for this.
“After we leave the small spiritual world, you can follow me to Su Immortal Palace to greet Ancestor.” Lou Mu Lan said: “I believe Ancestor will be very happy.”
Ancestor Ling Su advanced to Great Immortal Venerable two years ago, and his main body had remained in Su Immortal Palace to consolidate his cultivation base. If he knew that his direct bloodline had ascended, he would definitely summon them personally.
“Sure, if I have the chance, I would also like to meet Ancestor.” Lou Mu Yan nodded.
On Tian’ling Continent and Guang’ling World, the bloodline of the Lou Clan had become very thin and was declining. No one would’ve been able to imagine that the Ancestor of the Lou Clan had become a Great Immortal Venerable who had reached the peak of the Immortal World.
Lou Mu Lan wanted to take her to meet her Ancestor, and she wouldn’t refuse hypocritically either.
Of course, she had never thought about relying on the power of her Ancestor. After all, her Master was one of the top three strongest Great Immortal Venerables in the entire Immortal World, and there was much more affection and dependence towards him than Great Immortal Venerable Ling Su after so many years.
But bloodline couldn’t be disregarded either. Her grandpa had always hoped that the younger generation of the Lou Clan could find their Ancestor and return to the main family. She naturally would fulfill his wish.
With the detection of the bloodline stone, the relationship between Lou Mu Yan and Lou Mu Lan had become much closer.
Among the direct descendants of this branch, Lou Mu Lan was a peerless genius, and he was valued and loved by the Great Immortal Venerable Ling Su, who personally raised him and made him the Young Palace Master. When people of his generation saw him, they were either respectful or flattering. It was difficult to find someone like Lou Mu Yan who was a part of their clan and whom he could also get along with.
Therefore, in Lou Mu Lan’s heart, he had already recognised Lou Mu Yan as his younger sister.
Lou Mu Lan was superior to Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu in terms of cultivation base and strength, but they were no worse than him in terms of talent and comprehension.
The three of them sat around the fire, drinking spiritual tea, and discussing and exchanging their cultivation experiences.
Lou Mu Lan was good at alchemy, and Lou Mu Yan was also good at alchemy. The two soon got along chatting because of their common hobbies. After a few days, they still did not feel content, and felt like they hated how they met so late.
They all had missions to complete in the small spiritual world, so they couldn’t remain as casually as they were now.
“Mu Yan, when we return to Su Immortal Palace, we will have a hearty discussion about alchemy.” Lou Mu Lan said enthusiastically.
He discovered that his younger cousin sister’s talent and strength in alchemy were no inferior to his own. As long as she was given time, he believed that she’d be able to shine brilliantly in the Immortal World.
Lou Mu Lan was indifferent by nature and regarded only alchemy as his lifelong love. There was no way he could meet anyone in the Su Immortal Palace who he could talk freely with and exchange comprehension like this.
“Sure!” Lou Mu Yan found that after discussing with Lou Mu Lan for a few days, many questions that she had been doubtful about in terms of cultivation comprehending and alchemy were suddenly explained, and she benefited a lot.
“Mu Lan, we both have missions in the small spiritual world. Let’s meet again after we leave the small spiritual world.” She added, “Ming Xiu and I have to go to Peng Ying Island to hand in the mission first, so going to Ling Su Palace will have to be postponed.”
She and Ming Xiu were very interested in the library of classics on Peng Ying Island and naturally didn’t want to miss out on it, so they had to return and submit the mission first to get contribution points and rewards.
Lou Mu Lan also knew that they entered the small spiritual world for the missions on Peng Ying Island, so he took out a transparent green jade pendant and handed it to Lou Mu Yan, “This is my personal token. After you leave this small spiritual world, you can come to Su Immortal Palace to find me at any time. I will know when the time comes just by you activating this jade pendant.”
“Alright, then let’s meet again later!” Lou Mu Yan took the jade pendant and said with a smile.
Lou Mu Lan looked at Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu meaningfully and said: “Don’t let Ancestor and I wait for too long.”
Ming Xiu was outstanding in terms of appearance, temperament, conversation skills and talent. He still had a good impression of this younger brother-in-law, and they had chatted happily these days.
“No problem. Once we return to Peng Ying Island to submit the missions and receive the rewards, we will come to visit Su Immortal Palace in person.” Ming Xiu replied with a smile.
He also had a very good impression of Lou Mu Lan. This person’s appearance and temperament were somewhat similar to Lou Mu Bai’s, which always gave them a sense of closeness.
The next day, Lou Mu Lan took the pupils from Su Immortal Palace and acted separately from Lou Mu Yan two.
