Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City

Chapter 220: Chapter 219: The Top Existence

Lan Family.

Lan Xiyue’s family.

Lin Hao was quite interested in this family. Judging from the night he killed Song Decai, the status of the Lan Family was probably not weaker than that of the Song Family.

He had asked Huai Shian about the Lan Family, but Huai Shian also only knew that the Lan Family was very strong; beyond that, he could not find out more.

"Lan Family... Why does Young Master Lin inquire about them?" Song Qinghong asked with confusion.

"It seems you haven’t investigated me," Lin Hao said with a smile, "I studied at Binhai University. The Lan Family, Lan Xiyue is my slave."

"What?" Song Qinghong’s aged cheeks twitched, "That girl, she is your slave?"

"Mm-hmm." Lin Hao nodded lightly, "However, she went back some days ago, to get married. You should know about this matter."

"Indeed, I know. The person who sent Song Decai’s body back invited me to attend the wedding. At that time, I really did not expect that the one who killed Song Decai would be you," Song Qinghong sighed,

"The Lan Family, huh... they are indeed stronger than our Song Family by several notches. Xiyue, that girl, should have been exceptionally talented, but she was held back by a hidden ailment..."

"Stronger than you?" Lin Hao was slightly surprised. In his previous life, he had never come into contact with this Lan Family and was not very familiar with Lan Xiyue’s family.

"Yes, our Song Family, no matter how strong, only dominates Jiangbei. To say we dominate Jiangbei, there are still some matters beyond our control even in this area."

Song Qinghong slowly said: "The Lan Family is different... they do not stand out normally, but whether it’s our Song Family or some Sects in Binhai, we all have to give them some respect."

"Because, not only do they have strong individuals within their family, they also have connections with the Huaxia official circles. There is someone from the Lan Family who was once a Great General in Huaxia; he has retired now, but he still has many people in the official circles."

Lin Hao was taken aback.

Huaxia official circles.

As far as he knew, within Huaxia’s official circles, there was only one force called Dragon Needle, which gathered masters and specially managed affairs among Cultivators.

As long as they do not affect the overall situation, in reality, people from Dragon Needle rarely appear. For example, despite him killing so many people, the Dragon Needle has not sought him out.

However, within Huaxia’s territory, very few people dare to provoke the officials.

Firstly, because of Dragon Needle.

Secondly, because no matter how powerful martial arts are, they fear a kitchen knife. Modern technology’s firearms are no joke.

Perhaps ordinary firearms cannot penetrate Cultivators, but fighter jets, rocket launchers, missiles, and even the tabooed nuclear... weapons.

Once these powerful weapons are mobilized, how many can withstand them?

Not to mention people, the entire Earth can be destroyed.

In the Mortal World, even the top Cultivators might not be able to escape under the might of the strongest firearms.

In his past life, Lin Hao knew about the existence of tabooed firearms. They were not developed for warfare or for international standing; their purpose was to counter those Cultivators.

The Lan Family has connections with the Huaxia officials and even had a person of General Level. This is very complicated and troublesome.

Such individuals, although they have stepped down, if really provoked, mobilizing some strong and fierce firearms would not be difficult.

"Young Master Lin, could it be that you are planning to stop this wedding?" Song Qinghong asked gravely.

"Xiyue does not wish to go back for the marriage. There is a wedding only because of me; therefore, I cannot ignore this matter."

Lin Hao had already made up his mind. Since he was going to intervene, no matter who you’re connected to, he must visit the Lan Family on the wedding day.

"There’s one more month. To my knowledge, the Lan Family has already started preparing for the wedding. In one month, it will be the day of Xiyue’s marriage," said Song Qinghong, "Young Master Lin, since the Song Family is now yours, I will surely support you in this."

Song Qinghong was a decisive person. After making a choice, he would not easily change it. To do so would only accelerate the Song Family’s path to ruin.

Although it is a bit risky to oppose the Lan Family, he was still prepared to try.

"One more month, huh." Lin Hao pondered for a while and then asked, "Old Song, do you know who her marriage partner is?"

"I do not know. The Lan Family has done a very good job of keeping it secret, but the Lan Family is not weak in the whole Huaxia. Whoever can form a marriage alliance with them can only be stronger."

"Even, I suspect..." Song Qinghong paused, taking a sip of tea, "I suspect that it involves one of Huaxia’s top existences."

In the Mortal World, Cultivation has nine layers. These nine layers make up the important process of transforming an ordinary person into a strong individual.

Transcend Mortality, Martial Artist, Grandmaster, Primordial Qi Master, Returning to the Origin, Refining God and Returning to Void.

Taking the Primordial Qi Master as the boundary, everything above the Primordial Qi Master is among Huaxia’s top echelon, they are rare existences, the cream of the crop.

The entire Song Family, even dominating the first-tier city of Jiangbei, only has Song Taishan and Song Qinghong reaching the Realm of Returning to the Origin.

Beyond that, the Realm of Refining God and Returning to Void is akin to finding a needle in a haystack; in the entire Huaxia and even the entire world, there are probably no more than fifty who have reached these two Realms and still exist in the Mortal World.

Furthermore, these fifty people are all of considerable age.

In his previous life, Lin Hao knew some of these powerhouses; they were all antiquities on the verge of falling apart, finding it very hard to make further progress in this lifetime, merely waiting for death in the Mortal World.

The last Realm is called Sky-breaking. Among Cultivators in the Mortal World, there is a saying,

"Mortal Cultivation has nine Realms, a millennium produces one Sky-breaker!"

How difficult the last Realm is can be seen from the fact that only one individual can achieve the Realm of Sky-breaking in a thousand years.

To leave the Mortal World for another Plane, it is necessary to reach the Realm of Refining God, but going to another Plane in that Realm is tantamount to seeking death.

Perhaps, one would die on the way without even reaching the destination.

The Mortal World is ultimately too weak, with scarce resources, just like in a school where students are divided into grades and put into different classes.

The top student in the weakest class, if taken to the best class, would still be at the bottom.

In the vast expanse of the universe, Earth belongs to an extremely poor class; the environment here and allocations from countless years ago have turned it into a place concentrated with weak individuals.

Therefore, even for those beyond Refining God, even though they could go to other Planes, those old folks would not do so.

As the saying goes, better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix; no one wants to be a common person or a stepping stone for others in another Plane.

What Song Qinghong referred to as the top-level, is above Returning to the Origin, the individuals in the Realms of Refining God and Returning to Void.

"If there really are such powerful individuals, Young Master Lin, I think this time we need to be fully prepared and leave ourselves an escape route."

"We should indeed be fully prepared. With one month’s time..." Lin Hao remarked, "Old Song, how much of the Song Family’s Cultivation Resources can I utilize?"

"One hundred percent." Without a second thought, Song Qinghong replied. Lin Hao, a genius of such caliber, even at two hundred percent, the Song Family must nurture him.

"Good, Old Song, I need Primordial Stones, five thousand kilograms of Primordial Stones. Additionally, help me prepare a place for retreat. I need to go into seclusion!"
