Chapter 177: Ao Lan's Astonishment

Initially slightly wary, the two were overjoyed when they saw the figure atop the dragon's head.

Chen Daoxuan lightly leaped down.

Ao Lan also took on human form, standing by his side. However, this time when she transformed, she was wearing clothes.

"Master, who's this?" Leng Yanran and Li Yourong sized up Ao Lan. Leng Yanran, in particular, couldn't help but feel a hint of caution upon seeing Ao Lan. Her size was comparable to Li Yourong's, and her demeanor exuded a mature and intellectual charm. This triggered a sense of crisis within her.

Could this person be trying to vie for Master's attention?

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Ao Lan. You can call her Aunt Lan. She'll be living with us in the Heavenly Dao Pavilion from now on. This way, we won't have to specially come down the mountain to find someone to cook for us."

Chen Daoxuan introduced the nearby Ao Lan to his two disciples.

"Oh Aunt Lan."

Leng Yanran didn't know what to think, but since their Master had spoken, she obediently called out "Aunt Lan". On the other hand, Li Yourong's eyes lit up.

"Aunt Lan, can you cook? This is great! Let's go home quickly. We can finally eat spiritual rice!"

Li Yourong, brimming with excitement, rushed forward and grabbed Aunt Lan's hand, shaking it excitedly. She completely forgot that just earlier, she had suggested eating the dragon.

"Cough, this is my direct disciple, Leng Yanran. And that one by your side is the second disciple, Li Yourong. As for this little one, she's Yu Youwei, who can also be considered my named disciple."

Chen Daoxuan then introduced the three to Ao Lan.

Meanwhile, Ao Lan was taken aback as she looked at Li Yourong, who was holding her arm.

"This she's obviously from the human race. Why do I feel like I'm facing a pure-blooded dragon clan member?"

In her perception, the dragon aura emanating from Li Yourong was no weaker than that of a pure-blooded dragon clan member, and it was even nearly indistinguishable from her own bloodline purity. One should know that she was a genuine pure-blooded dragon clan member.

Apart from Li Yourong, she sensed that Leng Yanran was also not simple. Although she didn't intentionally activate it, a hint of killing intent still leaked from her.

What surprised her the most was the little one, Yu Youwei. She couldn't discern the depth of Yu Youwei's cultivation at all!

It was fortunate that she had been in seclusion during this period. Otherwise, any other Demon King from the Illusory Void Mountain would surely recognize her. After all, she was the one who had been devouring heavenly tribulations daily!

"However, one who can become My Lord's disciple can't possibly be ordinary."

Soon, Ao Lan snapped out of her shock. Considering the Master's formidable existence, nothing seemed too surprising.

"Let's go, back home to eat spiritual rice! Oh, right, Yourong, have you caught enough spirit beasts?"

Chen Daoxuan waved his hand; this harvest was satisfactory. Li Yourong had caught two large bags of spirit beasts, and he had obtained the Dragon Knight title. Yu Youwei, on the other hand, didn't seem particularly excited.

As for Leng Yanran, she seemed to have gained a rival

"Yeah, Yourong has caught a lot of good friends enough for a long time!"

Li Yourong nodded in various ways, and her smiling eyes narrowed. This time she has gained so many good friends, and finally she can not only make friends with the big white goose!

"In that case, let's go home!"

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan didn't delay any further. Everyone had their own purpose for coming here, and there was no need to rush on the way here.

Now that they were all returning with a full load, he didn't feel like walking back slowly. He simply waved his hand, tearing through the void. This time, it was different from before. Perhaps it was because of the larger group; he didn't bother waiting for each one to pass through individually.

This time, the crack in the void, to be precise, resembled a gateway through the void!

Speaking of which, it could be considered one of the Divine Techniques of the Demonic Art. However, Leng Yanran had not yet learned it. The void gateway was hundreds of zhang tall, its frame interwoven with black bones of some unknown creature. Above the gateway crouched a demonic deity, seemingly guarding the void gateway.

Ao Lan gazed at the void gateway, dumbfounded, her mind unable to return for a long while.

Was this the Master's method?

This kind of horrifying technique at his fingertips?

"Aunt Lan, let's go. We're going back to eat spiritual rice!"

Seeing Ao Lan standing still, Li Yourong couldn't help but tug at her arm, urging her.

After having seen the Master's methods so many times, Li Yourong and Leng Yanran, though still impressed, weren't so shocked by the Master's abilities that they would be left in a daze every time.

"Oh, right, let's go."

Upon hearing Li Yourong's call, Ao Lan finally snapped back to reality and followed everyone into the void gateway.

As the scene unfolded, the group found themselves before the Grand Heavenly Dao Pavilion.

"This, is it the divine pavilion To label it a fairy realm might even belittle this celestial sanctuary,"

Stepping onto the grounds of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, Ao Lan felt a dense aura enveloping her, akin to a misty haze. Even her comprehension of the laws had grown, allowing her to grasp nuances that typically eluded her understanding.

However, here, the three thousand laws seemed to permeate the very fabric of the world, creating a sensation that they were within arm's reach.

Even the most enchanting fairy realms could not compare to this place!

Gazing towards the origin of these laws, Ao Lan's pupils abruptly contracted. The source of these three thousand laws was an unexpected sighta tea tree!

Upon the branches of this tea tree, every twig seemed to harbor an independent law, while each root appeared to be the essence of a rule.

"What an incredible marvel!"

Ao Lan's lips parted slightly, her gaze fixed on the Enlightenment Tea Tree with an air of disbelief.

Currently, both Leng Yanran and Li Yourong had yet to reach the stage of comprehending the laws. Hence, they were oblivious to the true wonder of the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Though they knew their master enjoyed this tea and that it aided in achieving states of comprehension, they perceived it as nothing more than a fragrant brew. Drinking it occasionally while brewing tea for their master, they had never witnessed its extraordinary effects.

"Ah, this is the Enlightenment Tea Tree cultivated by our master. Drinking its tea allows one to attain enlightenment. During our meal, Aunt Lan, you can brew some and have a taste. Yet these details are trivial. Aunt Lan, look therethat's the kitchen of our Heavenly Dao Pavilion"

Li Yourong eagerly discussed the origins and effects of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, leading Ao Lan's attention to their destination.

"Enlightenment through tea?!"

Ao Lan was astounded. The prospect of achieving enlightenment through tea was indeed a testament to its divine nature.

However, observing the nonchalant expressions of the others, it seemed the Enlightenment Tea Tree held no extraordinary significance to them. They even casually mentioned the prospect of brewing and tasting it during their meal.

Hissing quietly, Ao Lan reaffirmed her decision to stay close to these remarkable people. Indeed, the path of her fate was boundless when walking alongside such extraordinary beings.
