Chapter 233 The Real Plot
Xun Dongfang's magic essence slowly injected into Li An's body. This process did not last long. After about a quarter of an hour, he had stopped.
"While Xu Wanshou is away, refine all of it!"
"From today on, on the last day of every month, I will give you some magic essence. With these magic essences, your Tiandou Dafa can progress faster."
Li An's eyes were filled with gratitude, and even tears. He could not help but bowed heavily and said, "Senior, I will never forget your kindness in rebirth!"
After that, Li An immediately operated the evil power and absorbed the magic essence one by one. Sure enough, the "卍" mark in his dantian became more and more obvious.
For a period of time in the following period, Li An and Xun Dongfang had a tacit understanding. On the last day of every month, Xun Dongfang would give Li An magic essence. Li An continued to refine it, and his evil power progressed slowly and powerfully.
...
In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.
Li An has been in Xuangui Peak for twenty-one years!
The Open Day of Xuangui Peak has come again. As usual, Li An is still in charge this time.
For the past twenty-one years, he has been the in-house host, answering questions for the disciples of Xuangui Peak. Many people are even quite familiar with him and call him "Mr. Li".
For twenty-one years, Tan Qingxue has never come to see him once, as if she has completely forgotten him. However, Xiang Yuntian and his disciples come every year, sometimes together, sometimes An Li alone... Since Li An refused Xiang Yuntian's consideration of having children for him, Xiang Yuntian no longer wanted to, and brought a pot of good wine to Li An every year.
Of course, strictly speaking, the disciples outside are not allowed to have any communication with these evil demons of Xuangui Peak outside of cultivation. Xu Wanshou also strictly supervises this, but Xiang Yuntian is very persistent and has obtained the handwritten order of the master of Xiajianfeng Peak, so Xu Wanshou has to turn a blind eye, but he carefully checks the wine every time to avoid problems.
"Old Li, is it correct that evil cannot prevail over good?"
That evening, Xiang Yuntian also came, but this time, he looked a little sad. He drank with Li An and seemed to be in a bad mood.
"What's wrong?"
Xiang Yuntian said, "Among the many disciples of Xia Jianfeng, my talent can barely rank first, but my sword intent can only rank in the top ten. It's really... weak."
Li An: "..."
Over the years, Li An has been standing still, but Xiang Yuntian can be said to be soaring.
When he first came to Dao Sect, he was only in the early stage of Yuanying, and now he is in the middle stage of Yuanying.
You must know that if it is placed in the Emperor Yuan Realm, it would probably take hundreds of years of hard work just to go from the early stage of Yuanying to the middle stage.
And Li An has also learned that in Xia Jianfeng, the level is never judged by realm, but by sword intent!
The master of Xiajianfeng Peak believes that the level of realm is just a matter of time. Even if it is a rookie, he can pile it up with various resources. It is not worth mentioning at all. Only the understanding of sword intent is the most fundamental talent and strength of a sword cultivator. Xiang Yuntian's "righteous sword intent" is very powerful. Not only in Xiajianfeng, but also in the entire Dao Sect, it seems to be well-known.
He is definitely a genius.
"In another nineteen years, it will be the Xiajianfeng competition. At that time, the top five winners will get the opportunity to transform into a god. If you can't make it into the top five, it will be useless."
Xiang Yuntian shook his head.
The opportunity to transform into a god is extremely important.
"The Demon Queen is still strong. She has received personal guidance from the ancestor. I heard that she is about to complete the transformation of the spirit. Moreover, she is the only disciple of the Demon Ancestor Peak. Do you know what this means? She has no shortage of opportunities, even the opportunity to impact the refining of the void!... Moreover, she is really strong. Among the Yuanying disciples, she is now at least in the top 30!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but reveal a touch of envy in his eyes.
The Demon Queen is naturally Tan Qingxue.
Li An was a little dazed. After twenty years of separation, she has indeed shone brightly in the entire Dao Sect...
In fact, in addition to Xiang Yuntian and Tan Qingxue, some other people who came from the Emperor Yuan Realm have also developed very well. For example, the Azure Dragon Demon King, although he was not favored by the ancestor of the Demon Ancestor Peak, was also accepted as a disciple by the powerful peak master and had a small reputation.
But Li An's mood did not fluctuate much. No matter how strong the people around him were, he would only take the road under his feet, step by step, and he would get there even if it was late!
He asked lazily, "What are the sword intentions of the top five Xia Jianfeng now?"
"It's useless to tell you... Forget it, just tell me." Xiang Yuntian was bored, so he told Li An their sword intentions one by one. Li An thought silently and didn't answer.
In the past 21 years, although Li An's cultivation has not improved, his vision, pattern, and cognition of cultivation have leaped up by many degrees. He was influenced by those evil and unorthodox bigwigs every day, and he couldn't help but make progress.
Indistinctly, he seemed to have noticed a little bit of Xiang Yuntian's problem, but he didn't point it out immediately. He just slowly finished his wine, and Xiang Yuntian got up and left.
"By the way, Li An, do you have any enemies in the world?"
Before leaving, Xiang Yuntian suddenly asked again, "You have no children, so I have to avenge you..."
Li An smiled, "Yes, Shangguan Shengxian, go and kill her."
Xiang Yuntian was stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression, and said, "She..."
"Let me tell you a piece of news. Four years ago, Shangguan Shengxian appeared once. A peak master of the Dao Sect and three great Vajra of the Brahma Sect went to encircle and suppress them, but she killed them all... In recent years, the spirit world has not been very peaceful because of her appearance. Many remnants of the demon sect who had been hiding have jumped out and followed her."
Li An was shocked.
The peak master of the Dao Sect... He now understands that this level is at least a powerful person of the Refining Void!
Shangguan Shengxian is really too fierce...
"You want to kill her, I remember, in the future, either she dies or I live."
Xiang Yuntian said: "Let's go!"
He left. ...
The ten-day Xuangui Peak Open Day has come to an end.
"Mr. Li,"
A clear and beautiful voice sounded, and a familiar figure appeared on this day.
Zhan Qingxuan.
Although she did not come every year like Xiang Yuntian in the past twenty-one years, she would come every three or five days, and every time she came to see Li An, she was quite polite.
Li An was also quite attentive. Although this Taoist girl could be said to have done him a favor, he still felt that it was unusual.
"Senior, please call me Li An."
Li An spoke respectfully.
Zhan Qingxuan was wearing a white dress today, looking ethereal and cool. She smiled and said:
"Okay, okay, then I will call you Fellow Daoist Li."
She held a scroll of bamboo slips in her hand and said, "I don't understand some parts of this array inheritance. How about asking Fellow Daoist Li for advice?"
Li An took it and looked at it. He found that this was the inheritance of the magic array, which was written by Li An himself. However, after being selected and modified by the high-level leaders of the Dao Sect, many cruel methods that were harmful to the harmony of heaven were removed.
Li An immediately explained one by one, but Zhan Qingxuan seemed a little absent-minded, but her eyes were moving. On the other side, Xu Wanshou was explaining and instructing other disciples, quite busy.
"In addition, there is another incomplete array, which I can't quite understand. How about asking Fellow Daoist Li to help with the advice?"
Li An was explaining to her. Suddenly, Li An felt a slight movement in his dantian, and the Heaven-stealing Method was actually running on its own. Zhan Qingxuan's voice rang in his mind!
Li An's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he almost jumped up in shock. He looked at Zhan Qingxuan in disbelief, trying hard to suppress the waves in his eyes!
What's going on? ? ?
Zhan Qingxuan... also knows evil skills? !
Moreover, he actually used evil skills to communicate with Li An in secret.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Li An's mind...
"Daoyou Li, what's wrong? Is there anything you don't understand?"
Zhan Qingxuan smiled gently and pointed at the array inheritance in Li An's hand and asked.
Li An took a deep breath and remained calm, "No, I will continue to tell you..."
He continued to explain to Zhan Qingxuan, and at the same time, she quickly told Li An a lot of content, and then asked in secret: "Remember?"
While communicating in secret, she was doing two things at the same time, asking: "Do I understand it correctly, Daoyou Li?"
Li An nodded. Zhan Qingxuan showed satisfaction on her face, and whispered: "If you don't understand, remember to ask other masters here to discuss it. By the way, don't let Elder Xu Wanshou know, otherwise, you and I may both be in trouble." After she finished whispering, she smiled, "Fellow Daoist Li, goodbye." After that, she turned and left. After she left, Li An's shock and suspicion were like a tide, one wave after another, and could not stop for a long time. Soon, Xuangui Peak was closed again and calm was restored. Li An returned to the library, and his thoughts in his mind had gradually become clear. Zhan Qingxuan actually knew the Heaven-stealing Art. There are only two possibilities: First, she is the descendant of the Evil King like Xie Shisi, but for some reason, she actually hid in Dao Sect. Secondly, she was not the descendant of the Evil King, but only practiced the Evil King's Law. After all, the Dao Sect's top leaders must have possessed Xie Shisi's Heaven-stealing Law, and it was not impossible for them to practice it for the disciples in the sect.
But what Zhan Qingxuan asked Li An to do was obviously wrong.
She passed the message to Li An through the Evil King's Secret Law, and then asked Li An to pass it on to the evil demons and outsiders in the Sutra Library - this at least proved a few points.
First, she was sure that Li An practiced the Evil King's Law, but this secret of Li An was only known by Xun Dongfang, Xie Shisi and others, and she also knew it... That could only mean that Li An's ability to practice the Heaven-stealing Law was the result of her conspiracy with Xie Shisi and others at the beginning.
Second, if she got the Evil King's Law from the sect's top leaders, why would she need to hide it? She didn't dare to let Xu Wanshou know what information she passed to Li An.
In addition, Li An always felt that Xun Dongfang and others had a big plan.
Now it's completely linked.
At this moment, Li An already understood why Zhan Qingxuan treated him well, accepted his top-grade infant transformation pill and gave it to her, and when she brought him here, she specifically told Xu Wanshou that he was a good person and asked Xu Wanshou to take care of him...
From that time on, Li An had already been the chess piece she chose.
Send Li An to the Sutra Library, to Xie Shisi and others!
He is a tool, a tool for Zhan Qingxuan to communicate with Xie Shisi and others.
After all, the only chance for Zhan Qingxuan to contact Xie Shisi and others is the Xuangui Peak Open Day, but on the Open Day, Dao Sect strictly monitors to protect its disciples, and the communication between the two sides is controlled. Ordinary secret language transmission is useless and will be exposed!
But some secret method of the evil king can obviously bypass Dao Sect's heavy monitoring, but the premise is that both parties have practiced the Heaven-stealing Method and resonate with each other to transmit sound. This method is more complicated and mysterious than silent secret language.
It's a pity that Xie Shisi and others have the seal of Dao Sect's great power in their bodies!
Even if Xie Shisi met Zhan Qingxuan, it would be useless. The Heaven-stealing Art in his body could not be used at all, and it was extremely easy to attract the attention of the powerful.
Li An became the best tool!
His cultivation was low, and his Dantian was broken and his cultivation was completely wasted, so after entering the sect, he came to the Sutra Pavilion without going through the seal. Xun Dongfang and others guided him and induced Li An to practice the Heaven-stealing Art...
Since Li An came to Dao Sect, he has been in Zhan Qingxuan's trap.
"If they just want to communicate through me, then they only need me to practice the Heaven-stealing Art. Xun Dongfang doesn't need to give me so many magic yuan... I'm afraid I have other uses in their plan."
Li An murmured in his heart.
He sorted out these, but so far, he didn't know what Zhan Qingxuan, Xie Shisi and others were planning.
To help Xie Shisi and others escape?
This is very likely.
Li An thought carefully, what Zhan Qingxuan told him was the content of a corner formation, which was very complicated and far exceeded Li An's cognitive ability. "Let's see?" Li An whispered in his spiritual platform. The soul fire illuminated and wrapped Shangguan Xiaoxiao's Yuanling and his Yuanling squeezed together. In the battle of Huangquan Valley, Shangguan Xiaoxiao's Yuanling was hit hard again. After this period of time, Li An calmed down and recovered a little. Li An usually let her recuperate quietly. One reason was that her current state was indeed not good, and the other was that he was afraid of being monitored by Dao Sect. After all, Dao Sect had a deep foundation and could not be prevented. But this matter was too important, so Li An had to wake her up. After all, Li An could not see through this formation. Shangguan Xiaoxiao listened to Li An's Yuanling's description of the formation one by one, and said: "Although it is only a corner, it can be seen that this formation is not bad. It is a first-class trap formation. At least it can trap the strong in the realm of refining emptiness. What is the upper limit, we need to look at other parts." Li An thought first-class, trap formation... Could it be related to the Xuangui Peak formation? He immediately told Shangguan Xiaoxiao about the geographical situation around Xuangui Peak, but Shangguan Xiaoxiao shook her head: "The geographical situation you mentioned is probably just a drop in the ocean, the tip of the iceberg, and it is impossible to judge at present. You can wait a little longer. Call me when the subsequent formation arrives." After that, she continued to sleep. Although Shangguan Xiaoxiao did not give a definite answer, Li An felt that this formation was very likely related to the Xuangui Peak formation. If Zhan Qingxuan was the descendant of the evil king, she conspired with Xie Shisi, Xun Dongfang and others, and sent a corner of the formation to trap the formation... What could be the purpose? The biggest possibility is to help Xie Shisi and others escape! If this guess is true, then this may also be Li An's biggest opportunity... After all, he is now trapped in Dao Sect. Although he has gained a lot and the various methods he has obtained are very powerful, what's the use if he can't get out? He can only sit in the city of sorrow and die in vain. However, in the plans of these people, Li An is still a tool man, belonging to the object of being used... If you want to turn the tables or make a profit in this plan, you must be cautious step by step.
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Is there any problem with the open day?"
Xun Dongfang walked to his side, put back a scroll, and spoke casually.
Li An smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, several old friends have developed well in Dao Sect. Maybe in a few years, I will become a handful of yellow earth, while they have reached the top... Everything is fate, and it is not up to people at all."
He sighed.
"If you want to live, read more and think more. As long as you can contribute enough insights, skills, etc. to Dao Sect, they will extend your life." Xun Dongfang smiled and said, "Let's go and discuss the law." Xun Dongfang did not ask Li An about the situation on the open day, but Li An understood that the other party probably knew it. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the end of the month came, Xu Wanshou left, Xun Dongfang and others were discussing the law, and Xie Shisi suddenly asked Li An: "Little friend Li An, do you have anything you want to share with us?" Li An thought for a while and said, "My junior cultivation is low, and I dare not show off my skills in magic, but I have some experience in the formation recently. Please correct me..." He then disassembled the formation that Zhan Qingxuan told him and discussed it with everyone. During the discussion, he slowly completed a corner of the formation.
Narrate...
Although Xie Shisi and others were sealed and imprisoned here, they were quite free inside. They could say whatever they wanted to say and discuss whatever they wanted to discuss... Dao Zong basically didn't care.
This was due to Dao Zong's confidence. The powerful sealed it, the formation suppressed it, and this place belonged to Dao Zong. Once there was an abnormality, the sect's masters would immediately appear. Who could turn the world upside down?
Giving them freedom would help them to communicate their feelings and create greater value for Dao Zong.
Li An was careful to turn the content of the formation upside down and break up the narration, but what kind of people were in front of him? Naturally, they could easily hear what was in it. For a while, this group of masters who usually talked and laughed and saw strange methods and great skills in a light and calm manner, couldn't help but have some solemn excitement in their eyes.
Li An was also sure of one thing at this moment: this plan was not just Xun Dongfang and Xie Shisi, but a conspiracy of this group of evil demons!
Lin Xianxian, the leader of the Jile Sect, Tuoba Wanzhong, the elder of the Wanhun Sect, and Wu Niangzi, the heir of the Wu Gu, also participated.
"Your thoughts on the formation really opened my eyes..." Xie Shisi smiled, looking at Li An with admiration in his eyes, and said: "I hope you can have more insights in the future and share them with us."
The voice of Lin Xianxian, the leader of the Jile Sect, sounded like a silver bell: "Your talent is good. In my opinion, you should come to our Jile Sect to study hard and gain knowledge. What do you think?"
Xie Shisi said: "It doesn't matter. Sooner or later, we will let you learn our methods. It doesn't matter who comes first or later."
...
The discussion ended that day.
"My friend, next, you can go to the leader of the Bliss Sect. She will also give you a part of the essence to help you achieve your evil power!" Xun Dongfang spoke, his eyes were very solemn, "The seal on us was done by the great power of the Dao Sect. We don't have the slightest chance... But if everything goes well, when your evil power is achieved, we may be able to send you away." "Do you understand our painstaking efforts? If you get our essence, it means that you are our common closed disciple. All our hopes are on you." Li An nodded, "Senior, don't worry, your kindness... Li An will definitely remember it!" He understood that Xun Dongfang did this to stabilize him. After all, now that Zhan Qingxuan is passing the message through Li An, Li An may be overthinking... ... "Not only Xun Dongfang, even Lin Xianxian will give me her essence, there must be something wrong..." At night, Li An was thinking. Xun Dongfang, Lin Xianxian... He had no doubt that Wu Niangzi, Tuoba Wanzhong, Wu Niangzi, etc. would also give him the Yuan!
In fact, the Yuan of these characters is a rare treasure. If anyone can get it outside, it would be a great opportunity... It is also very good for Li An.
However, he suspected that these Yuan would eventually become his death warrant...
"The Yuan is the most fundamental thing for a cultivator. It contains the essence of a cultivator's cultivation, the Tao rhyme, and even the life energy..."
He thought about it and had no idea for the time being.
However, he was not in a hurry at the moment. The plan of Zhan Qingxuan and Xie Shisi and others was still far away... The key was the formation given to them by Zhan Qingxuan.
For such a thing, Xun Dongfang and others would definitely not move without complete assurance!
He still had enough time to plan and prepare...
...
Next, Li An first showed his interest in the Ji Le Sect's exercises, and then gradually increased the frequency of going to the Ji Le Sect's building. Everything was smooth and natural, so as not to attract Xu Wanshou's attention. The end of the month is here again.
"My friend, how old are you?"
Lin Xianxian, the leader of the Paradise Sect, smiled and said while pointing out Li An.
She showed Li An a picture of Paradise, which was extremely fragrant and fascinating. Li An thought silently, but his heart could not help but ripple.
"Four hundred and thirty-three years old."
Li An told the truth.
"More than four hundred years old..."
Lin Xianxian didn't know what she was thinking, and said, "Do you know what the standard of our Paradise Sect used to accept disciples was?"
"I don't know."
"Genius, only true geniuses are worthy of this time of paradise...more than four hundred years old, well, the weakest one in my sect, this age should be the late Nascent Soul."
The implication is that she doesn't like a loser like Li An.
"I am ashamed that I can't be in the eyes of the senior." Li An said ashamedly. "What's there to be ashamed of... I don't only have the eyes of the law, right? Hehe..."
She was obviously very old, at least more than a thousand years old, but she still showed youthfulness, and her every frown and smile was like a drug... She was simply a woman born in the heart of a man.
"Hmph, what are you thinking about? Don't read the book properly. Have you learned it?"
Seeing that Li An was a little absent-minded, she gently pinched Li An's face with her slender jade hand, and Li An's face suddenly turned red. She laughed like a silver bell and turned into the bookshelf.
"What a terrible old monster..."
Li An seemed to be teased by her, but he was extremely vigilant in his heart.
This Lin Xianxian... is really terrible.
"Idiot,"
Lin Xianxian's voice came from the bookshelf. She stretched out her slender jade hand from behind the bookshelf and hooked at Li An, "If you can't learn well from the book, why don't you come and learn from the real world?"
Li An immediately rushed over and said, "Senior, teach me!!"
...
