Chapter 261 The Head of the Divine Dragon
Military Counselor could clearly hear the sounds of flowers blooming .

The sounds were light and dense . Plants took root, broke the ground, sprouted, and finally bloomed . They spread the weak but unstoppable vitality and joy to every corner of Mount Qingyun .
An intense fragrance assaulted his nostrils .
Infinite white mist wantonly rolled in the mountain and surged into the main hall behind the gate of the temple .
The light of the morning dispelled the deep darkness .
The sky gradually brightened .
The white mist began to disappear .
The dilapidated and depressed Mount Qingyun was thriving again . Flowers and trees filled every corner of Mount Qingyun and crowded every road of the mountain at that moment, which seemed to be both eternal and fleeting . Unimaginable vitality permeated the air, and there were even flowers all over the walls of Qingyun Temple .
Amidst them, Military Counselor’s eyes were occupied by a sea of flowers .
It was the first time he had seen such a scene .
The scene that violated the laws of nature and was almost mythical occurred only because of fate .
Fate was mysterious and indescribable . It wasn’t something that could be told in detail, but it indeed existed .
The petals of the flower made by the dragon vein resurrected Li Tianlan . Furthermore, its roots and stem revived Mount Qingyun, like a miracle .
Military Counselor was left in awe .
Great Master Wuwei’s body was almost covered with flowers in clusters . His body and face were withered entirely, making him look like a human skeleton . However, his pair of dim eyes, which had seen much of the changes in human life, still appeared calm and gentle .
He had anticipated such a scene, such a familiar one .
Many years ago, when he pumped the dragon vein of Zhongzhou State out to resurrect another person, somehow, he seemed to have seen his end and destiny .
That time, he did not give the man the flower but gave him many years .
He was impartial .
He had a clear conscience .
“What an amazing flower made of the dragon vein it is!”
Military Counselor’s voice was trembling with excitement . “What I have seen today is really unimaginable . You’re truly an immortal, Master . ”
The white mist was getting thinner .
The resurgent Mount Qingyun revealed itself .
Among the flowers, Great Master Wuwei smiled weakly and said softly, “It’s a pity there are no stamens . ”
“What is the stamen?” Military Counselor asked .
He had just noticed the flower made of the dragon vein, which had roots but no leaves, petals but no stamens . That flower was way too strange . He felt that it was like a broken flower, not a complete one .

The dragon vein was undoubtedly incomplete .
Great Master Wuwei drained the dragon vein of Zhongzhou State himself in those days and had been trying to regather it over the years . But there was a Taoist priest who had been doing the same thing as he did .
However, it didn’t matter .
“Stamen is the foundation,” Great Master Wuwei replied weakly .
Military Counselor’s heart quivered .
He thought of Li Tianlan .
He didn’t know what had happened to Li Tianlan’s battle strength in Changdao, but he was not far from Li Tianlan back then . Therefore, he could feel what happened exactly the moment Li Tianlan went straight into the Invincible Realm .
Just in a split second, Li Tianlan directly destroyed his foundation in exchange for the craziest outbreak of power .
“The flower without foundation saved the one who has no foundation . ”
There seemed to be some satisfaction in Great Master Wuwei’s eyes . He looked at the sea of flowers and said softly, “From now on, Tianlan himself is his foundation and that of the dragon vein of Zhongzhou State as well . ”
The dragon vein that he regathered was incomplete, but it already had the foundation . It really didn’t matter how much Xuan Xuanzi possessed .
To become the foundation carrying a country’s fate .
To possess the dragon vein .
In this state, Li Tianlan’s fate was so sufficient that it was difficult to see this for hundreds of years .
Regathered the dragon vein .
Restarted the flourishing age!
Great Master Wuwei looked up at the sky .
His sight grew blurred, but his smile grew more distinct .
“Perfect,” he whispered .
The footsteps resounded inside the gate of the temple, soft, gentle, and unhurried .
Military Counselor looked back instantly .
The thick, white mist enveloped the whole Qingyun Temple . There was nothing to be seen but the white far and wide . He could not see anything .
Li Tianlan couldn’t see him either .

He didn’t even know where he was, and he was not sure about his current state .
All he could think of were the flash of sword light that burst through the air like a waterfall at the end of the final battle of Changdao, the person in white who said sorry to him, and the fragrance and warmth on Qin Weibai’s body .
After that, it was the darkness .
The seemingly eternal, silent darkness .
Li Tianlan had no mind, feeling, or body . He didn’t know if he was dead or alive . Only silence and darkness were around him .
He couldn’t feel his existence at all . It was no exaggeration to say that he had disappeared entirely . There was nothing left in the world .
What awakened him was the sound of running water, which gradually dispelled the silence . His blood began to flow again, and his heart beat slowly, but his consciousness was still in the deepest darkness .
The light began to shine .
An immense amount of white mist began to fill every dark corner . It grew thicker and harsher .
Li Tianlan finally opened his eyes .
The white mist existed in both his mind and sight . There was nothing to be seen but the white mist .
He felt his heartbeat and breathing . Everything was there .
But at this moment, he was not sure whether he was still alive .
A flat expanse of land was in the white mist .
Li Tianlan walked quietly . He had spent days and nights in the dark, desperate and fearful, so the environment before him failed to make his mood change a lot .
He instinctively wanted to get out of here .
As he walked, a great mass of white mist seemed to swarm into his body or go through his back .
The journey seemed long and yet short .
Li Tianlan moved forward .
The world was quiet .
The white mist kept gathering and dispersing . Li Tianlan seemed to see a door in a trance .
The door was narrow and closed right now . Shrouded in the white mist, it seemed to have an air of sacredness .
Li Tianlan walked over there in silence .
He pushed open the door in front of him .
The mist retreated like running water .
Li Tianlan saw the sunshine, the one wearing a black cloak standing in the sea of flowers, as well as the “beggar” who sat on the ground and was almost drowned in flowers .

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows .
The thick mist swirled around him, and the morning sun shed its light on the ground with a sweet smell . The autumn breeze blew over the flowers on the mountains and in the fields and stirred his white clothes . Standing outside the old gate of the temple, he smiled softly .
“You are…”
Military Counselor also saw Li Tianlan walking out of the gate .
His first reaction was not the surprise after he witnessed the miracle, but the undisguised astonishment .
He looked at Li Tianlan as if he had never seen him before .
“Military Counselor?” Li Tianlan said softly .
His voice was as soft and mild as the white mist that surged behind him, but it had the power to blot out the sky and cover the sun . There he stood, illusory and yet real .
Military Counselor couldn’t speak for a moment .
He had met Li Tianlan before .
But now, Li Tianlan was utterly a different person .
His face, voice, and clothes didn’t change, but now he seemed to be unspeakably perfect .
Yes, perfect .
Military Counselor had never seen such a perfect man .
It was ineffable temperament and demeanor . There he stood, looking the same as ever, but with a sense of perfect naturalness .
Perfect .
Looking at Li Tianlan, Military Counselor suddenly had a feeling that he could not bear to look away .
“Where is Little Bai?” Li Tianlan continued to speak .
Military Counselor abruptly came to his senses, but there seemed to be some hesitation in his eyes .
“The boss is already at the headquarters of Samsara Palace,” Military Counselor whispered after a moment’s hesitation .
That night, he saw Qin Weibai hand Li Tianlan over to Dawn and watch her turn around as well .
He could not understand such a move, but he could feel her determination and sadness when she turned around .
“This is Great Master Wuwei . ”
He changed the subject quietly . “This time, it was the mysterious Deity in East Island and Great Master Wuwei who saved you jointly . ”
Li Tianlan’s face changed at last, but there was still a kind of charming perfection in his every movement .
He walked quickly to Great Master Wuwei, as if in disbelief . “Great Master Wuwei?”
“We meet again . ”
Great Master Wuwei, who at first was regarded as a beggar by Li Tianlan, raised his head . He wore a ragged cassock, which was torn apart into strips of cloth, and his eyes were calm and dim .
Li Tianlan’s eyes were calm, but with a sense of loss . He could not relate the old man in front of him to the great monk he had first met . He didn’t say thanks but looked at Great Master Wuwei carefully and asked, “Why did you save me, Master?”
“The mandate of heaven chose me . ”
“There’s no escape,” Great Master Wuwei whispered .
Li Tianlan didn’t understand, so he kept silent .
The light in Great Master Wuwei’s eyes grew dimmer, but it never went out . He looked at Li Tianlan and asked, “How do you feel now?”
Li Tianlan moved his body casually . In a moment, there was an enormous crack in the air around him . Even Military Counselor had to back off a bit .
“I’m still in the Invincible Realm . ”
Li Tianlan gave a self-mocking laugh, and there was some reluctance in his eyes . He shook his head and added, “I only hoped I could survive . ”
“It’s ok . ”
Great Master Wuwei’s tone was flat and confident . For Li Tianlan, to stay in the Invincible Realm was not a good thing now . But the so-called hidden danger would eventually disappear .
He could regather the dragon vein for Zhongzhou State and usher the prosperous times for Zhongzhou State again . At the end of his life, the last thing he needed to do was to build up strength for the dragon vein .
Li Tianlan’s problem was not a problem .
Because now, he was the dragon vein of Zhongzhou State!
The stronger the dragon vein, the stronger the Zhongzhou State, the stronger Li Tianlan .
His way of building up strength for the dragon vein was brutal and subtle, but the most effective .
It could be said that from the moment Li Tianlan opened his eyes, Xuan Xuanzi, the legendary Taoist priest, had already lost .
The overall situation of Zhongzhou State had been decided .
One in the light and the other in the dark .
The divine dragon’s head could be seen .
But that was not the case for its tail .
