"Please be patient, the Immortal Palace will open in a quarter of an hour." Lan Chen stroked his beard, looking like a hermit sage.
"Brother Hua, let's get started!" Rosa said.
At this moment, a streak of light flew in from inside the city and stopped in front of Lan Cheng.
"Father, I have brought my younger brother." Lan He brought Lan Mu to Lan Chen's side.
"Father, why is this happening?" Lan Mu broke free, hovering in the air, and said with a bitter expression.
"Mu'er, I did this for the sake of my Lan clan. Don't blame me." Lan Chen wasn't surprised at all that Lan Mu knew about this.
"I am your own son." Lan Mu was not afraid; instead, he said coldly.
Lan Chen's kind expression vanished, and he said, "Your biological son? Heh, this is your destiny."
"Brother Lan, what are you doing?" Hua Shi was somewhat suspicious at this point.
Lan Chen suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, today, none of you will escape."
"Hmm? Something's not right, there's a conspiracy." The four people's expressions changed drastically, and then they used their divine senses to scan their surroundings again and again.
After a long while, the four withdrew their divine senses; they found nothing unusual.
"Brother Lan, could it be that your reliance is on Fellow Daoist Cang and the other two?" Hua Shi stroked his beard and asked with a smile.
"Of course not, those three won't escape either," Lan Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, are you saying that none of us seven leaders can escape?" Rosa seemed to have heard some earth-shattering joke.
Swish
Three figures suddenly appeared beside Rosa and the other three.
Cang Quan said calmly, "Lord Hua has already promised the three of us that he will lend us his clan's most treasured artifact."
The three of them had no interest in the Celestial Palace; their only purpose this time was to borrow the treasure. If they succeeded in their mission after borrowing the treasure, it would be an immense opportunity.
Clearly, the three sect leader-level experts from Cangquan were invited by them, just in case.
After all, this was Tai Ling City's stronghold. Although the odds were one against four, they still lacked confidence. So, they summoned three more people.
"Haha, today will be the day of my rebirth. Activate the formation!"
Lan Chen laughed heartily, then made a hand gesture with both hands, activating his divine power to open the formation.
Rumble!
The celestial palace trembled, seemingly triggered by Lan Chen.
Whoosh!
A beam of blood-red light flew out from the celestial palace, instantly expanding and then rapidly enlarging.
In a short period of time, it covered an area of 100,000 li.
Within a radius of 100,000 miles, shrouded by a blood-red array, the area should have been pitch black due to the lack of sunlight.
The crimson array emitted a faint crimson light, illuminating the earth, thus turning it into a crimson world.
"This is bad! This is the Crimson Reincarnation Array, and it's combined with the power of the Immortal Palace! Damn it! We seven must attack its weak points quickly, or we will all die here!" Hua Shi's expression changed drastically.

"Haha, it's no use. You're all doomed and destined to become nourishment for my father."
Lan He's body shimmered with blood-red light, and the aura within him was exactly the same as that of the Crimson Reincarnation Array, as were the auras of the other two celestial beings.
Clearly, the three of them could also manipulate a portion of the array's power.
"You three can play with these seven old bastards for a while. The rest of the small fry will turn into mud in less than half an hour."
"Once I get a new body, I will be able to completely control the power of the Crimson Array. At that time, they will be like ants."
Lan Chen slowly sat cross-legged, his gaze coldly fixed on his youngest son, Lan Mu. At the same time, a thin, blood-red light enveloped the two of them, forming a transparent blood sphere tens of meters in size.
“Yes, Father (City Lord),” Lan He and the other two nodded in response, and then flew toward the seven sect leaders in front of them.
"Damn it, those three little beasts dare to come here, they really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth." Upon seeing this, Rosa immediately flew into a rage and unleashed a powerful magic technique.
"A mere trick." Lan He remained calm and unhurried, gently striking forward. A streak of blood-red light flew out, directly shattering the world-destroying technique.
"Brother Luo, don't let your guard down." Hua Shi looked at the three gods of Lanhe with a solemn expression.
The ordinary Crimson Reincarnation Array is of course not this powerful; it has simply borrowed a portion of the power of the Celestial Palace, making it many times stronger.
"Run! It's a trap!"
"Trap! Run! Lord Lan actually wants to kill us!"
"No way, I think even Tai Ling City is within the formation. Does that mean City Lord Lan is going to kill even his Zi Ming?"
Chaos erupted. The cultivators below were all terrified. Soon after, even Tai Ling City descended into chaos, with countless streaks of light flying up in an attempt to escape.
"Ah!" A celestial being tried to break through the blood-red reincarnation array, but was directly melted by the array, and his entire body was absorbed by the array.
"No, there's a great formation underground too—ah!" Some cultivators tried to escape by burrowing underground, but their flesh and blood were completely absorbed.
"Today, I will live my second life." Lan Chen's gaze was sharp as he reached out, preparing to capture Lan Mu.
"Haha!" Lan Mu suddenly laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
Lan Chen's hand froze, and his face twitched slightly: "Why are you laughing?"
"Old man, you still want to live a second life?" Lan Mu sneered.
"How dare you!" Lan Chen roared, slapping him across the face.
He certainly didn't dare to hit hard, after all, this body would soon be his, and it would be terrible if he damaged it.
Upon seeing this, Lan Mu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted, "Senior, please show yourself!"
"They've arrived." A figure appeared silently in front of Lan Mu, and at the same time, the blood spheres that enveloped them slowly dissipated.
Lin Qing stood in front, hands behind his back, and the powerful hand that attacked him shattered before it even got close.
"Who are you?" Lan Chen's expression changed drastically upon seeing Lin Qing's appearance.
"For your own selfish reasons, you actually want to sacrifice hundreds of millions of living beings within a radius of 100,000 miles, and you even want to possess your own son."
"Such treason deserves to be punished!" The voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of all living beings within a hundred thousand miles.
"Father." Lan He and two other celestial beings appeared behind Lan Chen.
"Who are you, to appear here so silently?" Lan Chen shouted angrily, now somewhat frightened.
Upon seeing this, the seven people in the distance all flew over and said in unison, "Greetings, Senior."
Although Lin Qing looked like a young man of only twenty-four or twenty-five, his unfathomable aura indicated that his strength was definitely above theirs.
Lin Qing didn't speak. He looked up at the crimson reincarnation array, waved his hand gently, and saw the crimson light quickly fade away. In just a few seconds, it shrank into a beam of crimson light and finally flew back to the Immortal Palace.
Upon seeing this, Lan Chen realized how terrifying Lin Qing was, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
It should be noted that this Crimson Reincarnation Array could not be broken even by a powerhouse at the Severing Realm, and even a powerhouse at the Escape One Realm could not make the array disappear instantly.
The grand formation borrows the power of the Immortal Palace, which is the residence of an invincible supreme expert. This information was brought out by Lan Chen from within.
"A powerful being has arrived; we are saved!"
"We're saved, haha!"
"Thank you, senior!" Countless cultivators cried out in joy.

"Huh? Merit? Interesting." Lin Qing thought to himself, "I need to get this over with quickly."
"Senior." Lan Mu was incredibly excited. He knew that this was an unparalleled expert.
"Then let's not delay any longer. I've got the Eight Treasures Turtle now, so it's time to fulfill my promise."
Lin Qing stretched out his left hand and grabbed Lan Chen. The latter disappeared instantly and reappeared in Lin Qing's hand.
"Ah no, what are you going to do?" Lan Chen cried out in terror.
Lin Qing was too lazy to listen to his howling. Disgusted, she formed her five fingers into a claw and pulled at Lan Chen's head, pulling out a wisp of his primordial spirit.
Lin Qing directly injected his primordial spirit into Lan Mu's body, and then shouted, "Calm your mind, I will help you refine your primordial spirit."
"Yes." Lan Mu immediately sat cross-legged and began refining.
As a sect leader, how could Lan Chen just surrender like that? His primordial spirit suddenly burst forth with powerful energy and then pounced on Lan Mu's primordial spirit, who was only at the Supreme Realm.
At this moment, a divine power from outside merged into Lan Mu's primordial spirit, causing his aura to surge dramatically. Lan Chen, who was rushing over, didn't even have time to react.
The blue tree suddenly grew larger and then directly devoured Lan Chen's primordial spirit. Afterward, the blue tree began to rapidly refine and absorb it.
"Even though it's withered and decayed to this extent, let's just consider it a waste and make use of it!"
Lin Qing gently touched Lan Chen's body, and the latter instantly turned into a ball of blood and flesh essence, which was then injected into Lan Mu's body by Lin Qing.
Gradually, Lan Mu's aura began to rise. Upon seeing this, Lin Qing immediately injected a stream of Samadhi Divine Flame into his body to help him ignite his divine fire.
Soon, Lanmu reached the Divine Fire Realm, then the True God Realm, and finally the Heavenly God Realm. Upon reaching the Heavenly God Realm, the rate of his aura's ascent slowed down.
Finally, Lanmu's aura stopped at the peak of the Celestial God realm.
The level of a sect leader is still insufficient, after all, without the hundreds of millions of living beings and the essence of flesh and blood of these seven sect leaders.
It would be impossible for Lan Chen, whose qi and blood were so depleted, to achieve this. Without Lin Qing's help, it's hard to say whether he could even reach the Heavenly God realm.
"Little guy, for the sake of the Eight Treasures Turtle, I'll lend you a hand!" Lin Qing said with a faint smile.

Lin Qing raised his hand and then slapped Lan Mu on the head. Instantly, a tremendous force surged into his body.
