Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, within the Great Luo Heaven.

The Jade Emperor, using the Haotian Mirror to see Anlan appear, couldn't help but frown slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

He then turned to Taibai Jinxing beside him and asked, "Who is this person?"

Taibai Jinxing immediately shook his head and replied, "Great Heavenly Venerate, I do not know. Just moments ago, this person did not exist between heaven and earth, as if they appeared out of thin air."

"Great Heavenly Venerate, this person might just be an illusionary projection," Ziwei Great Emperor said with slightly narrowed eyes and a calm tone.

"The appearance of this man should be a projection formed through some means. This figure cannot represent his true strength."

The Jade Emperor nodded after hearing this, as he had already sensed this himself.

"A mere projection already possesses the power of a peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal. If this person's true body were to descend, what kind of terrifying existence would that be?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a flicker of shock flashed in the eyes of the gods in the hall.

Indeed, with just a projection possessing such might, how astonishing would its true body's power be if it were to arrive?

At this moment, all the great powers from the Three Realms, all the renowned divine ability users in the Primordial World, were gazing at the figure of Anlan, lost in deep thought.

The strength of this mysterious man far exceeded everyone's expectations!

What kind of foundation did that storyteller Su Yang possess?

What kind of background was hidden in his origins?

Why could he easily invite a Grand Unity Golden Immortal to stand up for him? Where did this storyteller Su Yang come from?

The gods remained silent, their gazes fixed on Anlan, who stood proudly between heaven and earth, their thoughts churning and unable to calm for a long time.

Deep within the Underworld, inside a palace.

Houtu had originally intended to send a telepathic message to Great Emperor Fengdu and Lord of Mount Tai, urging them to quickly move to protect Su Yang.

However, she hadn't expected Su Yang to directly invite a powerful expert who also stood at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, even reaching its peak, to back him up!

Seeing this scene, a trace of shock also appeared in Houtu's eyes.

"Another unfamiliar Grand Unity Golden Immortal, just like that young man, his origins are unknown, and his past and future cannot be discerned. Just how many secrets does this young man hold?"

Houtu murmured in her heart, gazing at the scene unfolding on the screen, her heart already stirred by immense waves, unable to calm.

On the surface, his strength was not outstanding; he hadn't even stepped onto the threshold of immortality.

Yet, he could easily neutralize the Zixiao Divine Thunder and block the full power strike of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Now, when that Grand Unity Golden Immortal angrily attacked, he summoned a unfathomably deep peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal expert to support him!

"I increasingly feel that you, little fellow, always bring unexpected surprises."

A smile appeared on Houtu's lips, and she said in a low voice, "Your existence might add some color to this dull and uninteresting Primordial World."

Outside the inn, high in the sky.

That Grand Unity Golden Immortal looked at the suddenly appearing Anlan, his brow furrowed, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

It was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal! And one standing at the peak! His strength far surpassed his own!

Su Yang was merely a mortal, how could such a powerful being appear for him?

At this moment, his mind was racing with countless thoughts.

But facing Anlan's appearance, he already understood that without any miraculous change today, Su Yang was completely safe.

Although the other party was only an illusionary projection, he had no chance of winning if he tried to resist head-on!

"Who are you, sir?"

High in the firmament, that mysterious Grand Unity Golden Immortal stared at Anlan, his expression solemn, and then spoke:

"This matter is a grievance between myself and that young man. Fellow Daoist, why must you interfere?"

"I ask you to reconsider. That young man has not only angered the Heavenly Dao but has also offended many powerful beings in the Three Realms who rely on the power of faith. If you stand up for him, can you bear the consequences?"

As soon as his voice fell, Anlan's expression slightly froze, as if in a daze.

He then looked at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal, his brow furrowed, and slowly spoke, "Who am I?"

The other party's face immediately darkened, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart.

A world-shattering pressure swept across the Three Realms. Everyone who witnessed Anlan felt an irresistible and overbearing aura.

This person stood in the firmament, like an invincible figure, as if recounting an immortal legend.

As Anlan spoke, countless reclusive powerhouses trembled.

"Who am I? Heh."

"Those who chant my true name shall see eternal life in reincarnation!"

As these words were spoken, Lord of Mount Tai and Great Emperor Fengdu within the inn had a subtle change in expression, showing displeasure.

The land of reincarnation belonged to the jurisdiction of the Underworld. Even those who had leaped beyond the Three Realms and were outside the Five Elements could not easily glimpse eternal life within reincarnation.

Even Empress Houtu dared not casually speak of the profundities of reincarnation.

Lord of Mount Tai stared at Anlan's retreating back, his eyes narrowed, and he whispered, "This person is too presumptuous!"

"Even Empress Houtu has never spoken of the secrets of reincarnation, yet this person dares to speak nonsense, saying that whoever speaks his true name can find eternal life in reincarnation?

I want to see who exactly he is!"

Great Emperor Fengdu's expression was solemn, his gaze locked onto Anlan, waiting for his words.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal, far beyond the heavens, heard this and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He then spoke, "As a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, you dare to speak so boldly?"

"Even Empress Houtu cannot achieve what you claim, so what right do you have to be so arrogant?"

Anlan merely smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Reincarnation? I have surveyed the past and present, overlooking life and death!

Who presides over the rise and fall of reincarnation? All below the Immortal King are like dust. Who dares to speak of reincarnation before me? Reincarnation is but an illusion.

True powerhouses never need to rely on reincarnation!"

"Hiss—"

As soon as he finished speaking, all those with great divine abilities in the Three Realms were shocked, their hearts trembling!

This person actually looked down upon the Way of Reincarnation with such disdain?

One must know that during the ancient Witch-Demon Era, even Fuxi, a Grand Unity realm cultivator, had experienced reincarnation!

Not to mention Empress Houtu, who after her death, entered reincarnation to become the Six Paths!

Were his words now a denial of the status of powerhouses like Houtu and Fuxi?

One must know that within reincarnation, Empress Houtu was on par with a Sage!

And Fuxi in Huoyun Cave had already reached the peak of a Quasi-Sage!

Were these not considered powerhouses?

Now, a person at the peak of Grand Unity dared to utter such wild words!

From where did he get such arrogance?

Deep within the Underworld, in the Great Hall of Reincarnation.

Houtu heard Anlan's words, her eyes narrowed, and a hint of displeasure rose in her heart.

"The person that kid invited is actually so arrogant?"

"A mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it's one thing to talk about reincarnation, but to actually belittle true powerhouses by saying they don't need reincarnation?"

A pressure, like that of a Sage, suddenly erupted from Houtu, pressing down into the depths of the Underworld. Countless souls trembled in fear!

Deep within the Netherworld River of the Underworld, a Buddha suddenly opened his eyes, gazed in the direction of the Great Hall of Reincarnation, and frowned.

"Why is Empress Houtu angered?"

"Utterly arrogant! I shall sever his pháp thân and personally go to reincarnation to apologize to Empress Houtu!"

That Grand Unity Golden Immortal, upon hearing Anlan's words, rejoiced in his heart, seeing this as a great opportunity to curry favor!

Even if he couldn't gain the favor of the one in Zixiao Palace, if he could capture this arrogant fellow and destroy his pháp thân, he could still earn merit in front of Empress Houtu!

Perhaps in the future, Empress Houtu might owe him a favor!

With this thought, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal did not hesitate. He raised his hand and struck fiercely at Anlan.

"Heh heh, you dare to attack me?"

Anlan let out a cold laugh, his eyes turned sharp, and a terrifying aura instantly swept out. The Grand Unity Golden Immortal was directly blasted away by this might!

The Grand Unity stabilized himself, his eyes filled with shock.
