Chapter 200: Invincible Under Nascent Soul
Before the army set off, Lord She summoned all the commanders and asked about their intentions. Only Li An chose to stay.
After all, following the demon army to the demon domain, although there are risks, the benefits are also very considerable. If you make military achievements, you will have the opportunity to glimpse a higher realm. Who wouldn't be tempted?
As expected, Lord She asked him to temporarily take over the position of the mountain master.
There are many benefits to staying here. In addition to the resources left to Li An, the acting mountain master, for military supplies before the army left, there are also many resources in the Tiansha Mountains. From now on, this area originally under the jurisdiction of Lord Bai will be controlled by Li An!
The most important thing is that he doesn't have to practice secretly in the future. The whole area is his. He can go to any evil vein he wants!
"Mountain master, this is some third-level earth milk collected recently..."
Gu Xuanting walked in and presented Li An with the things he had collected recently.
Li An chose to stay, but did not force the cultivators under his command to go with him. He gave his subordinates the right to choose. Of the original 27 subordinates, only 13 stayed, and the rest followed the army to the demon domain.
Gu Xuanting and Zhou Libai also chose to stay with Li An!
"Okay."
Li An accepted the third-level earth milk and said, "You should ask more about the whereabouts of the fourth-level fortune jade... Once the Lord of Sheshan left, there will be no Yuanying-level strongman in our area. If we can make a fourth-level formation, it will be much safer."
"In addition, collect more materials for fourth-level talisman paper, elixirs, and medicinal materials."
Fourth-level fortune jade is the key material for making fourth-level formation plates.
Li An has been in Tiansha Mountains for many years, but he has no clues.
In fact, the corresponding resources of the fourth level are difficult to find on the market. The fourth-level items correspond to the Yuanying level.
Li An made some arrangements and gave Gu Xuanting some rewards, asking him to distribute them to the people who stayed.
Those who are willing to stay can be said to be Li An's confidants.
Of course, they cannot be treated unfairly.
With Zhou Libai and Gu Xuanting handling his chores, Li An immediately began to practice in seclusion.
He returned to Yunqi Valley.
After waiting for about a month, there was finally another full moon night. Li An entered the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm again through the location of the pool.
This Heavenly Demon Secret Realm no longer has any resources. When She Anrong killed the Lord of Baishan and successfully usurped power, before leaving the secret realm, he organized everyone to search and pick up all the valuable things.
But there is one thing that is very useful to Li An...!
The evil corpse of the Heavenly Demon!
The evil corpse of the Heavenly Demon is the source of the evil spirit in this place. The evil spirit contained is extremely amazing. After getting it, it is better than practicing in the evil vein.
The first time Li An came in, he didn't dare to move rashly, because if he wanted to get the evil corpse, he would inevitably trigger the entire killing array. He was worried that it would attract the attention of the outside world.
Now it doesn't matter, he is already the master of this place!
Walking to the place filled with black fog, Li An whistled, and a black mouse came out of his sleeve.
This was the second-level spirit beast Iron-eating Rat that Li An had been controlling for some time.
He recalled the route to enter the formation in his mind, and then controlled the Iron-eating Rat to get in.
He himself was outside, keeping a safe distance and waiting.
The Iron-eating Rat successfully entered the formation, and then began to drink the blood in the blood river directly.
Boom!
In an instant, the formation guarding the blood of the Heavenly Demon detected the loss of the Heavenly Demon's blood, and instantly moved together, bursting with murderous intent, and rushed towards the Iron-eating Rat.
Outside, Li An hurriedly fled far away. The terrifying killing formation set off a huge wave in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, the sand and dust were like a storm, and the earth trembled, just like the end of the world.
Even though Li An was so far away, waves of fluctuations still hit him, making his breath unbalanced, and several third-level protective gear on his body were directly destroyed.
Li An's Immortal Heavenly Demon Armor struggled to hold on, and when the aftermath dissipated, his face turned pale.
It was so scary!
He waited for the dust and dust triggered by the killing array to fall, and then he flew over. The field was in a mess, and the black evil mist in the air rolled endlessly. Li An walked into it, and saw that the entire blood river had evaporated and disappeared, and only a small part of the iron-eating rat's tail fell to the ground, and the whole thing disappeared.
In the center surrounded by the small river, the tall Heavenly Demon corpse was still in place, but it had been shaken down.
Li An walked over and checked carefully. The Heavenly Demon corpse was cracked all over, and terrible evil spirits gushed out from the cracks of the corpse. Even though Li An practiced magic, he felt that his breathing was a little unsmooth.
"It should be a Sha crystal!"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao's voice sounded: "Open the heart and take a look!"
Li An immediately cut open the chest of the Sha corpse, and saw that the heart was actually a black crystal the size of a human head. The crystal was crystal clear, and there seemed to be meridians like tree roots in it.
This Sha crystal contained endless Sha Qi, but it was deep and restrained, and it was cold to the touch!
Li An knew that this thing was the most precious among the Sha!
It was extremely difficult for Sha cultivators and demon cultivators to get a Sha crystal. Only masters above the Nascent Soul stage who died in an untimely death could form Sha crystals.
Li An was very happy, carefully put away the Sha crystal, and then picked up each piece of the Sha corpse, turned around and left the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
...
Returned to Yunqi Valley.
Li An started to retreat directly.
He used the Sha corpse as the source of Sha Qi, and the Sha Qi was a hundred times denser than Yunqi Valley for a while, and he made rapid progress!
...
Li An's retreat lasted for ten years!
Ten years later, he came out of seclusion, his whole body was clear-eyed, handsome and elegant, but with just a thought, a layer of terrifying black armor covered his whole body. He casually mobilized more than a dozen offensive third-level magic weapons to attack together, but none of them could shake his magic armor!
"In terms of protection effect... it should be comparable to a fourth-level magic weapon!"
Li An was satisfied.
In ten years, the corpse of the demon was also completely refined by him.
In addition to the progress of the Immortal Heavenly Demon Armor, his cultivation reached the perfection of the middle stage of the Golden Core and could move towards the late stage.
There was a lot of magic energy stored in the Dantian, which not only supported his Immortal Heavenly Demon Armor, but also allowed him to practice other magic arts with peace of mind, such as the Burning Yuan Demon Flame, the Flower Picking Finger, etc.
After coming out of seclusion, he summoned Zhou Libai and Gu Xuanting.
First, he learned about the situation in the outside world. There were frequent reports of wars in the demon domain. Ten years later, the war was still going on. The throne of the demon clan was at stake. The four demon kings fought each other, and the Vermillion Bird King had some wins and some losses. It was difficult to determine the outcome for a while.
The Tiansha Mountains were peaceful. When the demon army left, they left a general at the Nascent Soul level to guard the area.
But outside the Tiansha Mountains, Xiling Yuanzhou was very restless. It was said that the Dali Dynasty was frantically annexing and fighting with several top forces such as the Xiling Yuanzhou Xueyuan Sect and the Taiyi Sect.
Li An was very glad that he came to the Tiansha Mountains.
Nowadays, this is one of the few quiet places for cultivation.
Moreover, there is nothing missing.
"My Lord, here are the materials for the fourth-level talisman paper we have collected over the years. They are quite mixed, mainly materials with fire and wood attributes."
Zhou Libai handed over many resources.
Li An glanced at them and saw that all of them were made into talisman paper, which should be about four or five hundred sheets.
In addition to the materials for talisman paper, he also collected a lot of treasures for tempering the spleen, such as the third-grade earth milk, which were almost enough for him to cultivate the spleen to perfection.
Zhou Libai and Gu Xuanting were still very helpful!
"You two have worked hard."
Li An took the things and handed each of them a storage bag.
He asked the two to help him collect things, so he naturally couldn't let them spend money.
In fact, the demon domain has been fighting non-stop for the past ten years, and the Suzaku King has no time to take care of the Tiansha Mountains. The spiritual stone resources left to Li An and others were almost consumed, and they were not replenished.
Fortunately, the Tiansha Mountains themselves have many resources available, and there are not many cultivators left, so they can barely be self-sufficient, but to collect these materials... Li An had to use his own accumulation.
The accumulation at the beginning, plus the embezzlement when he became the commander... He currently has about 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones in his hand, and he directly gave Zhou Libai and Gu Xuanting 2,500 each at one time!
The two had spent their own spiritual stones to collect materials for Li An over the years. Seeing this, they were excited and happy, but also nervous: "Sir, we didn't spend so many spiritual stones..."
"For the extra ones, you can help me continue to collect various resources."
Li An seemed very generous.
Zhou Libai and Gu Xuanting didn't have the courage to deceive him, so he could naturally give spiritual stones without worry.
"By the way, sir, I also found the spiritual beasts you wanted for you, a total of three, all unhatched eggs..."
Gu Xuanting continued.
Before Li An went into seclusion, he asked them to help find third-level bird spiritual beast eggs!
After all, Li An was proficient in animal control, and it would be a waste if he didn't make good use of it.
Moreover, he disguised the Blue Flame Divine Bird as a third-level flamingo and deceived Madam She once, so he had to keep one by his side now, so that he could make up for it in the future, so that Madam She wouldn't be suspicious again when they met in the future...
"Okay!"
Li An was even more delighted. Three bird eggs, two flamingo eggs and one blue-scaled eagle egg.
All of them are third-level fierce birds. If it weren't for the fact that there are many spiritual beasts in the Tiansha Mountains, and Li An is the mountain master who governs the mountains, and the spiritual beasts have to obey his orders, it would be really difficult for him to get these three bird eggs.
Li An only wants three eggs, because his beast control level is the most perfect for controlling three third-level fierce beasts, and it would be a waste of time.
This time, Li An took the three bird eggs with him and went into seclusion again!
He took out the evil crystal... and prepared to impact the late Jindan stage.
…
Forty years later.
Li An came out of seclusion again!
This time, his aura was even more amazing. Just a little bit of it was like a deep and steep mountain!
He officially entered the late Jindan stage and his realm was stable!
From the time his Jindan was condensed, he escaped from the Jiang family, and settled in the Tiansha Mountains, it was only about a hundred years.
Li An is now XX years old. The time to enter the late Jindan was much earlier than he expected. This was mainly because this place was really suitable for cultivation. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Corpse and the Demon Crystal had greatly improved the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art and the Magic Skill.
Moreover, in the past hundred years, he had been absorbing the Taiyin Qi from several spiritual veins in Yunqi Valley. In Dantian, the Taiyin Qi was as thick as fog, and it was not far from condensing into the prototype of the Purple Mansion...
The decades he served as the acting mountain master were the most smooth time for his cultivation in his life!
He walked out of Yunqi Valley, picked a flower from the roadside at random, and flicked his fingers lightly. An invisible spiritual force carried the flower and floated out. It suddenly exploded hundreds of meters away and turned into a black mushroom cloud. The sound shook the sky and startled the birds in the mountains for hundreds of miles.
The finger picking flower was initially practiced, and the burning Yuan magic flame was just starting.
The spleen of Jinzang Jue was also well-developed, only the heart was missing.
Li An finally gained confidence. Now he... can be said to be invincible under the Nascent Soul stage.
As for the Nascent Soul...
He looked down, and four spirit birds flew out of his sleeves.
The first one was the Blue Flame Divine Bird, which was emitting brilliant green light all over its body, and each feather seemed to be made of divine gold. It woke up fifteen years ago and reached the late Jindan stage of cultivation, faster than Li An.
Moreover, the blood of the Heavenly Demon in its body has not been completely refined yet, and it is still continuously improving!
The other three, two flamingos and one blue-scaled eagle, are slave beasts controlled by his beast control technique. In forty years, they have also reached the third level.
Both he and the Blue Flame Divine Bird are in the late Jindan stage. Can they fight against the Nascent Soul?
Maybe.
In the history of cultivation, Li An has heard of many examples of late Jindan challenging Nascent Soul.
But he did not get arrogant. No matter what, he would never fight against those at a higher level if he could avoid it.
Safety first. "All used up..."
What made Li An sad was that he was a great Jindan cultivator who had already glimpsed the Nascent Soul stage, but now he was so poor that he was peeing blood!
He had spent too many spirit stones to break through to the late Jindan stage, and now he had to deal with three third-level spirit beasts, the Blue Flame Divine Bird, which was also in the late Jindan stage... Even a wealthy family couldn't afford such expenses.
There were less than a hundred high-quality spirit stones left, which were not enough to support him and the three spirit birds for a month of basic practice!
In addition, there were only three sets of third-level formations left, and only a few dozen third-level talismans left... These were all used up in the early wars.
And there was no news about the fortune jade used to make the fourth-level formation, and there were less than a thousand fourth-level talisman papers in his hand. He had no time to try to make fourth-level talismans...
It was miserable, extremely miserable.
He sighed, then waved his hand, and the Blue Scale Eagle spread its huge wings. Li An stepped on the Blue Scale Eagle, and the two flamingos guarded on both sides and headed towards the palace.
From today on, the Blue Flame Divine Bird will no longer be shown to the public, as one of his top-secret killer weapons.
"Congratulations, sir, for entering the late stage of the True Dan--"
Feeling the change in his aura, Zhou Libai and others all stepped forward to pay their respects with joy.
Three huge spiritual birds landed in front of the palace of the former Lord Baishan. Li An walked down calmly and said, "How are you doing recently?"
Zhou Libai said happily, "Your Excellency, the former Empress Jingchan of the Demon Emperor suddenly appeared and led the Vermillion Bird King to sweep across the Demon Realm. Now it has been unified. A year ago, we received a good news, as well as several letters. You were in seclusion at the time, so you were unable to report!"
Li An was stunned when he heard this.
Empress Jingchan?
Could it be Tan Qingxue?
He was a little dazed. The woman who was unknown in the Xuanyang Sect in the past and only wanted to give birth to a child for him to live on for the rest of her life, has now reached the top of the demon clan? ?
Really, things are unpredictable.
