When Li An returned to the capital of Dali, the other captured people had been released.
Most people were dismissed, but a few stayed. He was familiar with the demon clan Tan Qingxue, Azure Dragon Demon King, Xiang Yuntian Master and Disciple, Nanli Sect, Tianjian Sect and other geniuses, a total of more than a dozen people.
"Spiritual Realm Dao Sect will be our home."
Before leaving, under the leadership of Tan Qingxue, they held a small gathering in the imperial capital, including Tan Qingxue, Xiang Yuntian Master and Disciple, She Anqi and She Anrong.
All of them experienced life and death together this time.
"Your Majesty can go to the Spiritual Realm Dao Sect, which is a blessing for thousands of years. Anrong congratulates His Majesty——"
She Anrong spoke respectfully. Although she and her sister She Anqi were both Nascent Soul cultivators, they were not so talented and were not selected by Zhan Qingxuan and others.
But Tan Qingxue shook her head and said, "An Rong, you don't have to call me Saint in the future. After leaving the demon clan, you and I are Taoist friends and sisters, and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates."
"After we go to Dao Sect, you will soon ascend to the spirit world. We will meet each other then--"
Several people raised their glasses and drank together.
As the wine went down his throat, Li An couldn't help coughing violently, and a trace of blood flowed out. He said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, everyone."
Several people looked at him, their eyes were full of concern.
"Brother Li, don't be too sad. Dao Sect is a super power in the spirit world with a deep foundation. Since Senior Zhan asked you to go with him, he will definitely heal your injury at that time. The road of cultivation may not be cut off."
She Anqi spoke to comfort him.
Li An smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I don't want to continue my cultivation. After this battle, my thoughts are different. In fact, it's not bad to live an ordinary life without pursuing the ethereal immortality." He poured a cup of tea and said, "This cup is for all Taoist friends. Whether you go to Dao Sect or stay in the Emperor Yuan Realm, I wish you a long life in the immortal way-" He was not just being polite. The people in front of him, Tan Qingxue, Xiang Yuntian, An Li, She Anrong, and She Anqi, can all be said to have gone through the test of life and death. They are the people he can trust the most at present, so Li An naturally hopes that they can develop well. Everyone drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, Xiang Yuntian suddenly threw the wine bowl to the ground and said, "Li An, don't worry, I will go to heaven and earth to find you the holy medicine to repair your Dantian!" After that, he raised his sword and said, "Let's go!" An Li also followed him. Li An already knew about Xiang Yuntian's situation. At the beginning, Li An trapped their master and apprentice with a formation, but Xiang Yuntian broke through to the Nascent Soul realm against all odds!
--In the battle of Wanzhang Abyss, all his spoils were taken away by the people of Tianjian Sect, except for the "Sword Scripture of Justice", which no one wanted, so it was left to Xiang Yuntian.
In addition to the Sword Scripture of Justice, he had attracted many sword resentful spirits into his body when he was in Wanzhang Abyss, and with the help of the will of those resentful spirits, he became a Nascent Soul cultivator without even having a Nascent Soul Pill!
It was for this reason that he was favored by Zhan Qingxuan.
As soon as Xiang Yuntian left, the banquet also ended.
After saying goodbye to the sisters She Anqi and She Anrong, Li An and Tan Qingxue walked side by side towards the palace.
Tan Qingxue walked beside Li An as she did in the past, quiet and bright. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the Qingyang Market of Xuanyang Sect, no longer the famous demon king.
But Li An was so haggard. Because of the loss of cultivation, his hair and beard had turned gray, and his face was full of wrinkles. He was old and no longer young.
"There is a patriarch in Dao Sect. Yesterday, she issued a decree that after I go to Dao Sect, she will personally accept me as a disciple."
As they walked, Tan Qingxue suddenly spoke, "That patriarch has an extraordinary status in Dao Sect and has profound cultivation."
Li An was surprised, but then he was relieved. Even Shangguan Xiaoxiao said that Tan Qingxue's demon blood was extraordinary, and it was normal for a big shot to like her.
If the patriarch of Dao Sect liked her, her future... could be said to be smooth.
"Congratulations!"
"Li Lang, do you still remember the skirt I wore when I left Qingyang Market and returned to the sect?"
Tan Qingxue asked softly.
Li An was silent for a moment and nodded.
She looked at Li An, with endless pity and reluctance in her eyes, and said: "In the past, you devoted yourself to the Tao and had no intention of love. Do you miss it now, and do you regret your decision in the past?"
She seemed to care about the answer.
Li An sighed and said sadly: "What's the use of regretting? Today, things have come to this point. If I want to hold my son's hand again and spend the rest of my life in the mountains and springs, how can I get it if I don't seek immortality?"
"Fellow Daoist Tan, when you left, you wished me a long life in the immortal way. Today, I also sincerely wish you a long life in the immortal way!"
In the past, in the market, he devoted himself to the Tao. Tan Qingxue had the highest talent and it was difficult to build a foundation. At that time, his future was bright, but Tan Qingxue could only be a passerby.
Today, he has become a useless person, but Tan Qingxue has risen against the trend. On the contrary, he will turn into dust in a few years, but Tan Qingxue will continue to walk on the path of cultivation.
He has become a passerby. Tan Qingxue also sighed softly, perhaps sighing that fate was playing tricks on people and she was powerless to change it.
She took out a soul-locking box and handed it to Li An, saying: "No matter whether you are immortal or mortal, no matter whether you are strong or weak, I always hope that you will call me Qingxue instead of calling me Daoyou."
"I am not happy."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Li An was stunned. He opened the soul-locking box a crack and a strong smell of medicine instantly came to his face. A golden light struggled hard, as if to escape from the soul-locking box.
But this soul-locking box is very advanced, and there are array patterns emerging to block it.
This is... a top-grade infant-transforming pill!
Li An closed the box, and his heart was complicated for a while.
It is not easy to refine a top-grade infant-transforming pill. This pill should be prepared for him by Tan Qingxue in the demon domain.
...
Back to the palace, Li An went to pay a visit to Zhan Qingxuan.
"Thank you for your help, senior!"
He bowed respectfully. "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me."
Zhan Qingxuan was calm and indifferent, still cold.
Li An took out the soul-locking box and said, "Li An has achieved his wish, and he has nothing to ask for in this life. Now the most precious thing on my body is this. I am grateful for your life-saving grace and help. Please accept it with a smile--"
He presented the top-grade Yuanling Pill!
This was his decision after careful consideration.
After going to Dao Sect, he will definitely be checked again, and nothing on his body will escape.
The remaining spirit stones, magic tools, talismans, etc. on his body are nothing to the sects in the spiritual world. Only this top-grade Yuanling Pill is still of great value to the Jindan cultivators.
After arriving at Dao Sect, it is difficult to predict whether it is a blessing or a curse for a useless person like him to carry such a thing!
Tan Qingxue will surely have a good future in Dao Sect. She dared to give Li An this pill, so she was confident that she could protect Li An. But Li An... never liked to let his life and death depend on others.
Besides, it was impossible for Zhan Qingxuan not to know that Tan Qingxue gave him this kind of thing. After all, their every move must be under the surveillance of Zhan Qingxuan and others.
Since that was the case, Li An might as well take the initiative to test it!
Giving it to Zhan Qingxuan, firstly, could make her more convinced that Li An was completely a useless person. If there was any hope to continue practicing, he would not be willing to hand over such a thing as the top-grade infant transformation pill. Secondly, he could make friends with Zhan Qingxuan. After all, after going to Dao Sect, the situation was unknown, and he could almost be regarded as a remnant of the Demon Sect... It would be a good thing if one or two people said something for him.
The most important thing was that in his opinion, Zhan Qingxuan would probably look down on this thing!
She is young, just over a thousand years old, but she is already a spiritual cultivator, a genius of the ages. Now accepting Li An's top-grade Yuanling Pill is like taking advantage of the situation. People like her are proud and ambitious, and will not let their Taoism be tarnished.
Besides, if she wants it, it will be a good thing, a favor.
As for the matter of Yuanying, it is not too late to get through the crisis first, and then slowly plan it later!
The spiritual world is rich in resources. With Shangguan Xiaoxiao's help, it is not impossible to refine the top-grade Huaying Pill by yourself in the future.
Li An's principle is to kill all risks that can be killed!
Zhan Qingxuan glanced at Li An, and there seemed to be some smile in her eyes. With a wave of her hand, the Soul Locking Box flew directly into her hand and said, "Okay, I'll take it. Thank you."
Li An was stunned. Damn, did I bet wrong?
He showed a happy look and was about to say goodbye, but Zhan Qingxuan suddenly said: "You have made some contributions in exposing the matter of the princess of the Demon Sect this time. You deserve a reward. I will give you this Infant Transformation Pill." After that, the Soul Locking Box flew directly back to Li An's hand. Li An was stunned for a moment, then reacted and was grateful and thanked him profusely! "Get ready. We will set off tomorrow to Dao Sect." Zhan Qingxuan waved her hand. Li An withdrew. He was quite surprised. This Zhan Qingxuan was really not a person to be messed with. She was very smart! Obviously, she saw Li An's intention, but she did not expose it. Instead, she accepted it first and then gave it to Li An. In this way, who would dare to snatch it after he went to Dao Sect? Zhan Qingxuan gave it to him. With this title, everyone had to think twice. Is it kindness? Or, in her eyes, Li An has other uses, so she bought people's hearts in advance? In short, Li An actually owed her a favor.
Li An didn't think about it anymore, this is a good thing!
…
"Top-grade Nascent Soul Pill, this person is quite sensible... But Senior Sister, isn't your sister about to enter the Nascent Soul stage? Why don't you accept it?"
Zeng Xueyao asked.
Zhan Qingxuan said calmly: "Qingyi's Nascent Soul matter is her own karma, no one else can help. Besides, if I accept the things that Tan Qingxue gave him, won't I offend her?"
"Her talent is not inferior to mine, and she has been favored by the Sky Fox Patriarch. I don't want to have an extra enemy in the sect in the future."
Zeng Xueyao's expression was stern, and she couldn't help but nodded.
…
The next day.
In front of the Dali Palace, Li An, Tan Qingxue, Xiang Yuntian, An Li, Azure Dragon Demon King, and some geniuses from other sects stood behind Zhan Qingxuan and the other three.
Boom!
In the sky, a white light penetrated the boundary wall and reached Huang Chao of Dali.
"Let's go!"
Everyone stepped forward and entered the passage between the two worlds.
Through the hazy white light, Li An and Tan Qingxue subconsciously looked towards the northern part of Dali.
Many memories all originated from there. Once they leave, they may never return.
...
The lights and shadows are so numerous that it seems that they are traveling through countless lights and shadows. The Diyuan Realm is getting farther and farther away from everyone, and finally only a vast expanse of white remains.
After an unknown amount of time, some vague scenes finally reappeared in front of them.
The scene became clearer and clearer. Li An looked at it intently. In front of him was a vast expanse of land with beautiful mountains and rivers, undulating and endless.
Spirit Realm!
This is the Spirit Realm that countless people in the lower world yearn for!
They were very fast. The next moment, they appeared above a vast mountain range. Looking from above, the mountains here seemed like nine dragons returning to the sea, and vaguely formed the trend of Bagua, which was very extraordinary.
They then landed on a round platform-
"Senior Sister Qingxuan and the others are back--"
"Quickly notify the elders!"
The white light dissipated, and the passage between the two worlds disappeared. Li An and the others were a little confused. The air blowing in their faces was filled with extremely rich spiritual energy!
This level of spiritual energy cannot be possessed even by fourth- and fifth-level spiritual veins!
Sixth-level? Or even higher? !
Sixth-level spiritual veins correspond to great cultivators in the realm of refining emptiness!
Nascent Soul, God Transformation, Refining Emptiness, Combination, Mahayana, and Tribulation!
For the lower world, God Transformation is the real ceiling, and the Nascent Soul can dominate one side. In the spiritual world, the God Transformation period is also considered a master, and Refining Emptiness, Combination, etc. are even more powerful.
In just a moment, everyone understood the foundation of Dao Sect!
"Follow me to the meeting hall to meet the peak masters."
Zhan Qingxuan spoke and took them down the formation platform. Walking through the buildings of Dao Sect, the people were more and more shocked. None of the buildings in Dao Sect were built randomly. They all secretly matched some formations and Dao rhymes. Any one of them could be called a top-notch place for cultivation!
Moreover, among the cultivators coming and going along the way, even those who were at the foundation building stage were rare. The largest number of people were actually at the Jindan stage.
Yuanying strongmen could only be the heads of a hall in Dao Sect.
Even the lowest-level elders were at the Shenhua stage.
Enter the meeting hall.
Five masters were already sitting in the hall.
"Finally here."
An old man in a white robe with a Taoist style smiled and said, "Qingxuan girl, are these the geniuses of the Diyuan Realm you brought back? There are not many people... Which one is Li An?"
Zhan Qingxuan stepped forward and said, "Master, most of the geniuses of the Diyuan Realm have been harmed by Shangguan Shengxian. It's good to have a few of them... This is Li An."
She introduced them, and Li An took the initiative to step forward and said respectfully, "Li An greets the senior."
As soon as the voice fell, Li An felt a sharp pain in his eyebrows, as if a pair of sharp eyes like a knife pierced into his spiritual platform alive and searched his soul directly!
Li An couldn't move, as if he was frightened.
Tan Qingxue and others beside him were all shocked, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"Well, very good, pretty honest."
The old man spoke, and obviously, he didn't find any problems in the soul search.
"Are you Tan Qingxue?"
A beautiful woman next to the old man spoke. Although Li An did not dare to use the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art to sense her real age, her cultivation was probably above the level of transformation. Such a person should be at least two thousand years old, but he looked only about thirty years old.
"Disciple greets Master."
Tan Qingxue was very smart and bowed directly.
The beautiful woman nodded, "Okay, you are the second person in the whole Dao Sect who can conquer the demon blood with a human soul, except for me. My inheritance has finally been settled. Follow me to the Demon Ancestor Peak."
After saying that, she stood up and left with Tan Qingxue-
She did not give the other four elders any face. Obviously, her status was very extraordinary.
"Farewell, Master--"
Tan Qingxue's master and the other three elders all stood up and watched her leave.
The master has the highest status, followed by the elders of the eighteen main peaks, and then the ordinary elders of each peak. Seeing this scene, the Azure Dragon Demon King and others were instantly envious!
Tan Qingxue's treatment was too good. Being noticed by a master-level figure, her future prospects were unimaginable.
"Being able to cultivate the Sword of Justice that even ghosts would be worried about, such a pure heart and a clumsy soul are just right for me, Xia Jianfeng. Xiang Yuntian, you and your disciples, follow me!"
Another fat peak master smiled and spoke. He was the peak master of Xia Jianfeng. Although he was not a master-level figure, he was also a strong figure among the elders.
Xiang Yuntian raised his eyes, "Okay, but can you bring another person, take him with you?"
He pointed at Li An and said seriously.
.
The fat elder was stunned for a moment, and Li An was also stunned on the spot. Xiang Yuntian was... an idiot!
"I can't take him with me!"
The fat elder shook his head, "Don't think about it. He is a demon cultivator and has committed a serious crime. You can't save him. What's more, he is already a useless person. What's the point of taking him to Xiajian Sect? To be a chores? That will only harm him. Maybe the sword energy of your fellow disciples will accidentally kill him when they practice swordsmanship that day."
"However, we in Xiajian Sect have always been repaying kindness and revenge. If he has done you a favor, you must repay it. Well, first, take care of his relatives and children, second, avenge him, and third, when he dies in the future, I allow you to burn more paper money for him."
"Go, go, go!"
He urged.
Xiang Yuntian was silent for a while, then looked at Li An solemnly, "Find a woman, have some children, and think carefully about any enemies. If I can't find a way to help you repair your Dantian in the future, I will help you do the three things the peak master said." After that, he followed the fat elder. Because he couldn't refute what the fat elder said, Li An's cultivation was ruined and his future was hopeless, so he could only help Li An do these things--
They also left, and the rest of the geniuses were also selected. Although they were not as good as Tan Qingxue, they all went to good places. In the blink of an eye, only Li An was left alone in the hall. "Take him to the Sutra Pavilion and hand him over to Elder Xu." Zhan Qingxuan's master spoke, she nodded, and immediately said: "Li An, follow me." Li An followed her and left. Walking out of the meeting hall, the magnificent Dao Sect of the Spiritual Realm was right in front of him, but it was not Li An's fate! It was impossible not to feel lost. After all, practicing in such a place can really achieve twice the result with half the effort and go smoothly.
But since the day he got involved with the magic, he was destined to have no way out.
He calmed down. The life-nourishing immortal art is his foundation and his secret. Even if it is slower and more difficult... but as long as it is steady, Li An will not envy anyone.
Zhan Qingxuan took him and flew directly. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the foot of a mountain.
This mountain is like a dormant black tortoise, surrounded by seven peaks. One of the Taoist Sutra Pavilions was built on the Black Turtle Peak.
Li An keenly noticed that this place seemed to have an amazing battle, but he couldn't see the details for a while.
Walking up the steps of the Black Turtle Peak, there are several library buildings, which are guarded by an elder named Xu. Li An learned that it was not just Li An who was placed here, but many others!
"The Dao Sect hides the secret knowledge of the world. The ones on Xuangui Peak are all unorthodox methods, including magic, evil arts, demon magic, witchcraft... everything."
Zhan Qingxuan was not arrogant and explained to Li An, "Many methods are secret and unwritten, so we had to capture people from all the major evil sects and let them write down their lifelong learning here, organize classics, etc."
"Well, there is also a master of your Demon Sect among them. You will meet him later."
While talking, the two had arrived. An elder with a serious face was waiting. Li An could not see his cultivation level at all, but he could feel that the other party was definitely a real master.
He was Xu Wanshou, the master of Xuangui Peak, who was responsible for guarding the Sutra Pavilion here.
"This is Li An, the new member of the Demon Sect. Please ask Elder Xu to verify his identity."
Zhan Qingxuan spoke. Xu Wanshou smiled slightly, "Your master has read it, what else can there be? Li An, right? Go to the third library on the left and find Xun Dongfang. He will take you for a while, and you will understand." He waved his hand, Li An bowed respectfully, and then left immediately. "Elder Xu, this person has a good temperament, but he has gone astray. Please take care of him a little bit--" Before leaving, Li An heard Zhan Qingxuan's words. He was not moved, but instead suspected what Zhan Qingxuan intended for him? Or was it simply out of kindness? Li An didn't know. From the brief contact, Dao Zong was praised as the orthodox sect of the spiritual world and became a magnificent inheritance. It was indeed different from the forces he had contacted before... Maybe there were more upright things and fewer petty tricks? But no matter what, Li An always used the greatest malice to guess people's hearts! ... Enter the third library. The library is filled with antique bookshelves, each of which is a fourth-level magic weapon, moisture-proof and insect-proof. Ordinary people cannot read it.
In a corner, an old man with silver hair sat casually on the ground in the corner. He was wearing a gray robe, holding a pen in his hand, and placing bamboo slips on his knees, thinking about something.
"Greetings, Senior Xun."
Li An walked over and bowed, "Elder Xu asked me to come to you--"
This person should be the demon elder Xun Dongfang mentioned by Zhan Qingxuan.
The old man raised his eyes, and his turbid eyes swept over Li An, saying: "I have never seen you in the ten rudders of the sect."
Those who can be imprisoned in the Sutra Pavilion must be masters of the major demon sects, because only masters can access the secret treasures, but Li An is not.
"I am Li An, and I come from the lower world."
Li An briefly talked about his intersection with Shangguan Shengxian, Shangguan Xiaoxiao and others.
Xun Dongfang's eyes suddenly showed a trace of surprise, "The eldest princess... the second princess is still alive?!"
He was shocked, and for a moment, it seemed that there were thousands of words in his eyes, but they were all suppressed randomly.
"I followed the second princess, no wonder I was caught here... There are pens and paper on the table, just write down all the magic skills you know, that's it."
Xun Dongfang said, "Write from low to high, and after writing, seal it in the bookshelf... This is all you have to do now."
Li An nodded, and suddenly asked again, "What will happen after you finish writing everything?"
Is it... death?
He is very concerned about this question!
Xun Dongfang looked at Li An in surprise. This boy is quite smart...
He said calmly: "Don't worry, Dao Zong is very trustworthy. They won't kill you if you are imprisoned here. After you finish writing, you can read it, and keep reading it... This building is the magic sect's skills. From ancient times to the present, there are even lost skills that I have never seen."
"Next door there are the evil king's skills, the demon king's skills, the inheritance of the Gu Saint, etc.... You can go and read them. After reading them, continue to write about your feelings about various skills and whether you can integrate various skills. If what you write is recognized by Dao Zong, Dao Zong will also extend your life and let you live a good life-in addition to gaining freedom!"
Li An was quite surprised. So that's it...
Is this the spirit of a big sect?
Collecting the laws of the world and gathering the people of the world... In this way, how can Dao Zong not prosper?
At the same time, his heart was pounding. In this way, this place is a real treasure land for him!
Obviously, the people captured by Dao Zong had their cultivation sealed, or were useless, etc., and there was no hope for them to move forward in this life... But Li An was different.
It was a great blessing for him to see all kinds of Dharma here!
He sat down at the table, pondered for a while, and then began to write.
...
