Chapter 230

After a long time, Li An finally woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he was already in a room in the Dali Palace. He struggled to stand up and opened the door, but saw a vast white light in front of the room, and the aura of the formation was not concealed.

Obviously, he was imprisoned!

Li An sighed helplessly, then closed the door and sat back on the bed. He began to meditate and adjust his breath, wanting to restore his own cultivation.

However, as soon as he started to practice the skills, he suddenly felt pain all over his body. In his Dantian, waves of severe pain came. He bit his teeth so hard that they almost broke. He couldn't help vomiting, but all he vomited was blood...

Pain to vomiting, pain to convulsions!

His face was covered with cold sweat. After a long time, he lay on the bed powerlessly, tears in his eyes, and there was a deep despair in his eyes.

Any Jindan cultivator will be desperate after his Jindan is broken and his Dantian is destroyed.

He closed his eyes with a sad expression on his face.

But he was repeatedly deducing in his mind.

All he had done just now was just a performance.

He was thinking, whether his performance and the "memory" constructed in his mind could successfully deceive the people in the spirit world...

Yes, he made up a memory!

He made up a story, which was based on his past experience, but only made some adjustments. The tone of the story was very simple. He was saved by Shangguan Xiaoxiao and accepted as her apprentice, so he was willing to work for her. As a result, at the last moment, he was ruthlessly abandoned by her. She left with the Demon Emperor's coffin and left Li An, who was completely disabled, to die in the Emperor Yuan Realm...

And, this story was also solidified as part of his memory through magic.

To deal with soul searching!

Shangguan Xiaoxiao was right. If he only had magic skills, then he would be exposed. The foundation of Dao Sect was unfathomable. When the pendant was tied on his forehead, he felt an inexplicable panic, as if there was a peerless great power with holy light all over his body facing him and examining him. As long as there was any trace of magic skills in his memory, he would be discovered.

But he also had the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art!

The Life-Nourishing Immortal Art was definitely some kind of righteous art with a great origin, which turned the magic skills into invisible and traceless, and the other party could not find it.

From now on, his plan should have succeeded!

"In the spirit world, I am just a person who once practiced magic, but now has become a useless person..."

"For someone like me, there are only two choices: First, kill me. After all, I once followed the second princess of the Demon Sect, and this crime is enough. Second, keep me, because I master some of the magic attacks, such as the four deadly styles and the inheritance of the magic array. I even know Shangguan Xiaoxiao better, which may be useful to deal with her in the future..."

It is an obvious proposition to choose!

After all, Li An has completely become a useless person. It is impossible for him to stir up trouble again and he is not a threat to the spirit world.

Will the spirit world Dao Sect kill a person who is not threatening but very useful?

This is the final destination of Li An's entire plan-

After participating in the battle of Huangquan Valley, other choices and paths will bring more troubles. For example, if he escapes, the spirit world will definitely block the entire Diyuan Realm and dig him out. Li An will really want to cry without tears.

Only in this situation, the best strategy is to take the initiative, show weakness and lure them with benefits.

The Spiritual Dao Sect will definitely take Li An back, and Li An will definitely attract attention at the beginning, but as time goes by, no one will care about him as a useless person...

Basically, the whole plan should be fine!

Of course, he was also thinking about Gu Hong, Tan Qingxue and others... They would also be searched and interrogated, but their information was not too important and did not hinder Li An too much.

The only thing is that Tan Qingxue was once saved by him using the life seed power of the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art, so in order to prevent this risk, Li An also deliberately fabricated information that a certain meridian of his demon body was quite effective, and that meridian still had some energy left, but now it was completely destroyed...

...

It was consistent with what Li An guessed.

Except him, everyone else was also imprisoned in the Dali Palace, interrogated and searched one by one.

...

"Sister, it seems that there is no problem. The whole thing is very clear."

In the secret hall of the palace, Zhan Qingxuan's junior brother Xu Pingxiu said: "Thousands of years ago, Shangguan Shengxian should have been hunted by the spirit world and hid in this world for the purpose of finding the Demon Emperor's coffin."

"She established the Dali Empire, swept across the world, cultivated the Immortal Talent Hall, etc.... all in preparation for the Demon Emperor's Tomb."

"But, she didn't expect that her sister would come, and ruined her plan, flying away in the Demon Coffin."

"As for the demon clan, the demon emperor back then should have accidentally obtained some opportunities from the Demon Emperor's Tomb."

Zhan Qingxuan nodded. This information has been investigated many times during this period, and there should be no problem in general.

"However, there is something strange about this Li An. According to Tan Qingxue's memory, she was able to survive in Qingyang Market in her early years, and later defeated the soul of the demon queen Jingchan, all of which were inseparable from Li An..."

Zeng Xueyao, the junior sister of Zhan Qingxuan, spoke up with some doubts in her eyes.

This is a doubtful point!

"Although Li An's demon body is not a real natural demon body, it is still somewhat special to be favored by Shangguan Shengxian. He has a meridian that is quite peculiar and can produce endless vitality... It is quite similar to the evergreen body in the legend of the spirit world."

Zhan Qingxuan spoke up. The evergreen physique is extremely special. It is said that life is immortal and can live for tens of thousands of years at will, but it is extremely rare and it is difficult to see one in the ages.

Similar spirit bodies such as "Cangmu Body" and "Longevity Body" are common, and they have similar effects.

Zeng Xueyao also nodded, "That makes sense... Senior Sister, what should we do with these people?"

Zhan Qingxuan said, "Wait a minute, I have sorted out the information and sent it to the sect, waiting for their decision."

"The life and death of Li An and others does not require the sect to spend so much time, I guess, maybe this world has caught the attention of the uncles..."

Zeng Xueyao and Xu Pingxiu were surprised to hear this.

"Senior Sister, do you mean that this world may be selected as part of the 'new land' of the spirit world?"

Zeng Xueyao spoke. "It is very possible. After all, since this world is the place where the Demon Emperor is buried, it has original sin. Moreover, many people have followed Shangguan Shengxian. Even if the whole world is destroyed, it is what they deserve. It is the most appropriate to choose this world as a supplement to the new land! Others can't object..."

Xu Pingxiu couldn't help but think and said, "Moreover, in this way, this world is controlled by our Dao Sect, and we will have more say in the new land..."

Zhan Qingxuan glanced at Xu Pingxiu, with a little admiration in his eyes, and said: "There are some good cultivators in this world, such as Tan Qingxue, who controls the demon body with a human soul. In terms of cultivation, he is a genius... You can also find others and bring some back to Dao Sect. It's always good."

Both nodded and left.

...

Time flies.

Half a month has passed, and Li An and others are still imprisoned in the Dali Palace.

In the past half month, Li An tried several times to operate his cultivation, but the ending was always the same, extremely miserable, and he tortured himself to the point of being unrecognizable.

He was also wondering in his heart, what was the spirit world thinking?

It shouldn't take so long!

Could it be that something unexpected happened?

He was a planner...what he feared most was accidents.

Every unexpected accident could cause his plan to go completely wrong.

The more complex and sophisticated it was, the lower the error tolerance.

But the spirit world was something that his plan could not control at all...

He did give a bait, but would they bite?

He couldn't help but doubt it.

However, after a few days, the formation where he was was finally opened. Zhan Qingxuan came over and said, "It's not peaceful outside these days, so I'll let you wait here first. Please don't think too much."

Li An said, "Thank you, senior--"

He supported his old body and followed Zhan Qingxuan out. When he walked out of the room, Li An immediately noticed the abnormality between heaven and earth. He subconsciously raised his eyes and saw a series of hazy white lights above the sky. They penetrated the void from somewhere and passed through the boundary wall of the Emperor Yuan Realm and directly reached the Emperor Yuan Realm.

It looked quite similar to the passage between the two realms, but Li An could see that the mysterious light in those passages seemed to be connected to the mountains and rivers of the Emperor Yuan Realm, like chains that tied up the Emperor Yuan Realm!

This can be called a huge change in the world, but because he was trapped in the formation, he didn't even notice it.

"This is..."

Li An was puzzled. "The Spirit Realm has decided to guide the Emperor Yuan Realm to ascend and make it a part of the Spirit Realm."

Zhan Qingxuan spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Li An was shocked and stunned.

Let the Emperor Yuan Realm become a part of the Spirit Realm?

Isn't this method too shocking? !

It should be noted that the Spirit Realm is a holy place in the hearts of all cultivators in the world. Countless cultivators in the lower world dream of entering the Spirit Realm. Only by going to the Spirit Realm can they truly hope to become immortals in the legend!

Only by cultivating to the stage of transformation of spirit can they sense the mysterious path between heaven and earth and find the way to the Spirit Realm. Moreover, this journey will be very difficult and may collapse halfway.

Now, the whole world will ascend to the Spirit Realm? !

Who wouldn't be confused after hearing this...

Zhan Qingxuan didn't hide anything. This was something that Li An would have to know sooner or later. She said lightly: "Not just the Emperor Yuan Realm, over the years, many lower realms have been selected and become part of the Spirit Realm."

Li An sighed: "Such a rare opportunity, the people of the Emperor Yuan Realm are really blessed..."

Zhan Qingxuan smiled, "In your opinion, going to the Spirit Realm is a good thing?"

Li An frowned, "Isn't it?"

The Spirit Realm made the Emperor Yuan Realm a part of the Spirit Realm, and had other intentions? This is normal. The Spirit Realm is not a charity. Why would it go to such lengths to give such benefits to the people of the Emperor Yuan Realm?

Just thinking about it, Li An felt a sense of uneasiness for some reason... The Spirit Realm spent so much effort, I'm afraid the purpose must be great.

"Whether good or bad, it has nothing to do with you."

Zhan Qingxuan smiled, "Li An, do you want to live or die?"

She asked the most nervous question in the calmest tone.

Li An's breathing could not help but stagnate, looking at her.

"You colluded with Shangguan Xiaoxiao, and you also learned the blood and flesh furnace skills of the Demon Sect, the inheritance of formations, etc. ... Just based on this, killing you a hundred times will not be too much."

She said indifferently.

Li An lowered his head, "Please teach me how to live!"

"Follow me back to Dao Sect, hide your name, go to the Sutra Pavilion to be an unknown writer, write down all the magic skills you know, and Dao Sect will support you for the rest of your life."

Zhan Qingxuan spoke.

This is the order from the Spirit Realm Dao Sect.

As she expected, Dao Sect used the matter of the Demon Emperor's tomb to shut up some other major forces, successfully regarded the Emperor Yuan Realm as part of the new land, and was about to migrate the entire realm.

The outstanding seeds of this world, such as Tan Qingxue, will naturally not be let go and will be absorbed into the Dao Sect.

As for Li An, who had an intersection with the two princesses of the Demon Sect, he will naturally be used to his full potential.

Anyway, Li An is already a useless person and there is no danger.

In fact, although she has a rough idea of ​​Li An's memory through soul searching, this soul searching is just a quick browsing, a superficial glance. If she wants to get specific skills, she must refine Li An's soul.

But the soul refining method is a side door and evil technique. The people of the Dao Sect pay the most attention to the cultivation of souls and seek a pure Yuanying Yuanling without flaws. Naturally, she does not want to be contaminated by Li An's soul.

Especially, Li An is dirty and has practiced magic skills. In order to obtain the skills in his memory, it is too bad to pollute her soul. Not to mention that she is a person of the Dao Sect, even other practitioners will not do such a loss-making business.

Anyway, Li An was in his hands, so he dared not not write it down. If he wrote it down, the great powers of Dao Sect would naturally be able to distinguish the truth from the false.

"Li An obeys your command."

Li An thought for a moment and agreed. Then he paused and said, "When will you set off?"

"Wait a little longer, about a month later."

"Can I ask you for a favor?" Li An asked carefully.

"Go ahead."

"I was married to Gu Hong before. She is doomed to die this time. I want to send her off for the last time and fulfill her last wish... Please help me."

Li An spoke. This... was not a plan for him to protect himself, but a simple thought from the heart.

Gu Hong... could not be saved.

She was completely devoid of life essence, like a rootless duckweed. No matter how much life energy Li An injected into her, he could only delay, but not reverse, her decline.

But her last words...

Finally, some waves rose in Li An's cold heart. "Okay."

Zhan Qingxuan did not refuse. Gu Hong herself was of no value. She said, "She is in Mingjing Palace. You go."

Li An bowed respectfully to Zhan Qingxuan and turned around.

Mingjing Palace.

Li An walked in and knocked on the door. A familiar voice came, "Come in."

Pushing the door in, I saw a woman dressing up at the dressing table.

Gu Hong.

She looked back, a smile appeared in her beautiful eyes, and said, "My husband, you are finally here. Am I beautiful today?"

Her face had recovered without knowing when...

She had rouge on her lips, as beautiful as a flower, and beautiful as she was in Tianyang City when she and Li An had their wedding night. Li An's eyes trembled slightly for no reason, and he smiled and said, "Beautiful, very beautiful."

He walked forward, combed Gu Hong's hair, and said, "Let's go out of the palace."

"Okay."

Li An took her hand, and the two walked through the deep palace walls. No one stopped them. The magnificent palace could not stop their hearts.

After leaving the palace, Li An hired a carriage and drove out all the way.

He had no cultivation at all, and Gu Hong was also seriously injured and was about to die. They were almost like mortals and could only travel in the way of mortals.

...

Seven days later, in a remote place whose name was unknown, Li An finally stopped the carriage.

During these seven days, he drove the carriage by himself, without asking the direction or the destination, and traveled all the way. Until this moment, Li An saw a remote mountain village in the mountains and forests not far away, and he stopped the carriage.

"Hong'er, what do you think of the scenery here?"

Li An asked. In the carriage, Gu Hong opened the curtain and saw the green trees and the village. She couldn't help but smile and said, "If you like, you can stay here." Li An got off the horse and helped her down. The two walked hand in hand into the village. Li An did not use his spiritual sense to investigate because he knew that although

Zhan Qingxuan didn't care when he left the palace, but she certainly wouldn't let him run around. She would probably keep an eye on him. Using her spiritual sense would expose herself.

There should be a mortal village in front of her, without any fluctuations from cultivators.

There is a dilapidated wall outside the village, and a plum tree grows at the entrance of the village. Li An and the others walked in and saw an old man sitting on a rattan chair under the plum tree, basking in the sun, looking so leisurely. Not far away, an old man was driving a big black cow and an old yellow cow to plow the land, and many villagers were working...

Simple and natural.

"Who are you?"

The old farmer at the entrance of the village asked in confusion.

"Old man, my wife and I are traveling. She has been feeling a little unwell recently and can't travel anymore. She likes the scenery here very much. She wants to stay in the village for a while or buy a house. Is that possible?"

Li An asked politely.

"Is that so... That's fine. I have an empty house. If you don't mind, just stay there." The old man spoke enthusiastically and took them to his home. It was a simple stone house with a shed in the yard and a lot of fruits and vegetables. Gu Hong liked it very much, so they stayed there. Li An learned that the old man's surname was Zhao, and everyone called him Second Uncle Zhao. Second Uncle was very enthusiastic, and the villagers were also very enthusiastic and simple. When they heard that there were guests at Old Zhao's house, they sent a lot of fruits and meat. After a few days, Gu Hong liked the life in the village. "Li Lang, I want to have a home for the two of us in the village, is that okay?" So Li An bought a piece of land in the village, and the villagers gave him a piece directly. Second Uncle, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Wang and others came to help build the house. In just two days, a stone house had been built, with a living room, bedroom, kitchen... At Gu Hong's request, there was also a study room for Li An. On the day they moved, the villagers were extremely enthusiastic and came to celebrate, sending a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil. Gu Hong cooked and prepared a table of delicious food to entertain everyone. The villagers said that Li An was very lucky to marry such a virtuous and beautiful wife.

Gu Hong said that she liked the yard full of fruits and vegetables, so Li An built a shed in the yard and planted grapes, loofahs, etc. Gu Hong said that she wanted to have a vegetable plot, so Li An reclaimed a vegetable plot for two people.

Li An raised chickens, fish, geese and ducks... He was very busy every day because he felt that Gu Hong's life was slipping away bit by bit, and he could no longer extend her life.

So, he tried hard to realize every little wish of hers.

In the evening, dinner was so simple and so rich, with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, vegetarian melon and bean soup, fried eggplant, and stir-fried pork with farmers, three dishes and one soup, all made by Gu Hong herself.

After dinner, Gu Hong snuggled up to Li An, and the two looked at the stars in the sky.

The sky is full of stars, shining for someone unknown, year after year.

"Li Lang, you said there are so many stars in the sky, but they are so far apart, will they be lonely?"

Gu Hong asked with a smile.

Li An smiled and said, "No, because they are reading stories. The stars in the sky are reading stories about people. There are many stories, very beautiful... They won't be lonely."

"Ah? What stories?"

"For example, have you heard the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl? When I was a child, I heard that there was a great god in the sky called the Jade Emperor. Once, several of his granddaughters went down to the earth to take a bath secretly..."

Li An told Gu Hong a story, and she listened carefully. After listening, she tried to identify the Altair and Vega in the sky and said, "Li Lang, your story is so beautiful."

"So, for the Weaver Girl, although she has eternity and is a fairy in the sky, what she wants is just the love with the Cowherd in the mortal world, right?"

Li An was silent. Gu Hong's question made him feel melancholy.

What did she get in the end after becoming a fairy?

Gu Hong didn't say anything else, just leaned on him gently: "Li Lang, I have never felt life so beautiful."

"Hundreds of years of cultivating immortals are not as good as this short month. I finally feel... I have lived."

She closed her eyes and said: "Li Lang, promise me one thing, okay?"

"Okay."

Gu Hong smiled, and a tear couldn't help but overflowed from under her long eyelashes. She said the last words of her life:

"After I die, if there is a chance, marry Qingxue, okay? She really loves you. I don't want to see you abandon the world when you are in immortal love. That's too sad... Let her stay with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, her breathing stopped.

Li An hugged her tightly. For a moment, the sky was full of stars and the night wind was like a knife, making him embarrassed and sad like a homeless dog, shivering in this cold night...

...

The next day.

Li An buried his deceased wife in the village. When he returned home, he did not look sad at all. He just calmly washed all the dishes left over from last night's meal and cleaned the house spotlessly.

Then he closed the door and locked it.

He got up and left.

He came with his wife, and left alone.

The morning sun was like fire, shining from the direction of the village, casting a huge shadow on his tired body, and the shadow was as firm as a mountain...

In the village, the second uncle was still basking in the sun at the entrance of the village, Uncle Zhang took two cows to the fields, and Aunt Wang was watering manure in the vegetable field...Everything was the same as before, except for an extra lonely grave.

...
