Chapter 266 Dao Zong's Apology

Huichun Peak.

The peak master of Huichun Peak, Wang Rufu, a great cultivator of the generation, personally took action and took Li An into the "Huichun Cave" and is treating him.

Huichun Cave is the holy place of Huichun Peak. It borrows the energy of the earth and sets up the Huitian formation. It is full of endless vitality. People say that after entering Huichun Cave, the dead will be resurrected.

Li An's life or death is unknown.

On Huichun Peak, the two peak masters have arrived - Xiajian Peak Master Qiao Rumu and Changqing Peak Master Gui Changshou.

"Peak Master, you must investigate thoroughly! Who exactly harmed Li An? I want an explanation. No matter who it is, even if it is the elder peak master in the sect, I want them to die!"

Xiang Yuntian's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and was extremely angry.

Qiao Rumu's face was very gloomy and he said nothing.

He had listened to Xiang Yuntian's description of the whole process and even checked Xiang Yuntian's body. Naturally, he had found something strange.

But the information revealed behind this… made him feel really heavy!

"Junior Brother Gui, what do you think?"

After a long while, he looked at Gui Changshou calmly.

Gui Changshou was worried. Of course, he understood what happened, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion. However, he couldn't tell Qiao Rumu, so he said, "Everything should be investigated according to the sect rules."

While they were talking, two figures had already landed on Huichun Peak.

"Master!"

"Grandmaster!"

Gui Changshou and Qiao Rumu were both slightly startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

The master's face was also a little heavy. Qiao Rumu was about to report what happened, but he waved his hand and said, "Junior Brother Qiao, you don't have to say it. I did it. I know it very well."

Qiao Rumu was stunned when he heard it.

Gui Changshou was also shocked and said, "Senior Brother..."

The master was so straightforward and admitted it without any concealment!

"Save the people first! I will accept the punishment according to the sect rules..."

The headmaster spoke calmly, but he couldn't help sighing.

Seeing him so open and aboveboard, Qiao Rumu and Gui Changshou said nothing more, just nodded and waited quietly.

"Peak Master, have you told the headmaster? What did the headmaster say?"

Xiang Yuntian came close to Qiao Rumu. When the headmaster and others were talking just now, no one else could hear their conversation.

Qiao Rumu pondered for a moment and said, "The headmaster said that no matter who did this, they will be punished accordingly. The sect rules are in front, and the master will naturally investigate it clearly. You don't have to worry."

He knew Xiang Yuntian's temper very well.

If Xiang Yuntian knew what the headmaster said, this guy might really be so bold as to draw his sword against the headmaster!

...

While waiting, some other people also came.

The Great Dao Goddess Yun Qian, she has been in seclusion since she returned to Dao Sect that year. Now she came out of seclusion in person and stood quietly by the side with a trace of worry on her face.

In the past, she was asked by Fairy Zi to take care of Li An. She didn't expect that Li An would suffer such a disaster in Dao Sect. Naturally, she was worried.

Master Wang Ji of Yaozu Peak came with Tan Qingxue.

Several peak masters, including Tianchenzi of Zhenxie Peak, Master Fenyuan of Tianhuo Peak, and Lei Yuan of Tianlei Peak, also arrived.

——A small true disciple was injured, so there would not be such a big commotion, and it would not alarm so many peak masters. The reason they came was because they received a message from the headmaster!

"Headmaster, what's going on?"

"What happened?"

Everyone was a little confused.

But the headmaster just said: "Wait a minute, we'll talk later."

Everyone waited on Huichun Peak for seven days and seven nights!

One day, Wang Rufu, the head of Huichun Peak, finally walked out of the "Huichun Cave".

"Brother Wang, how is the situation?"

The headmaster stepped forward and asked.

Wang Rufu was quite surprised to see the headmaster and the Supreme Master in person, and so many peak masters came, but he still bowed and said, "My dear brother, your life is saved."

"He was seriously injured, the demon seed in his body was taken away, endangering his Dantian, Yuanying, and Yuanling... If he had come a moment later, even I would not have been able to save him."

The Taoist priest next to the headmaster nodded and said, "The Great Dao is not cut off, and there is still a ray of remedy. Good!"

After speaking, he gently waved his whisk and said, "All peak masters, gather in the main hall of Huichun Peak!"

Everyone looked stern and went to the main hall.

Entering the main hall, this place is completely isolated from the outside world. Many peak masters are puzzled and look at the Supreme Master in confusion. The Supreme Master is above him. The headmaster kneels down in public and says, "My disciple has violated the rules of the sect. Please punish me, Master!"

Many peak masters are shocked. The Supreme nodded and said, "As the headmaster, Taiqingzi disobeyed the orders of the Supremes and the immortals, privately led Jun Yelin to the path of evil, and deprived Li An of the demon seed in his body, which has violated many sect rules!"

"From today, according to the sect rules, the position of headmaster will be abolished, and he will be punished by the knife mountain and the sea of ​​fire for five years!"

Hearing this, many peak masters were in an uproar!

They didn't expect that Li An's injury was caused by the headmaster alone!

Moreover, the punishment for Taiqingzi... is really too heavy!

Abolish the position of headmaster, and be tortured by the knife mountain and the sea of ​​fire for five years...

Throughout the ages, in the records of Dao Sect, only the evildoers who committed heinous crimes, betrayed their teachers and ancestors, and caused chaos to the people would be thrown into the knife mountain and the sea of ​​fire.

Moreover, the longest period in the previous records was three years.

Because generally speaking, three years is the limit, and it is difficult to survive...

Five years, to some extent, is simply a death sentence for Taiqingzi.

"Sir, although the headmaster brother made a big mistake, isn't five years of suffering a bit too much?"

Ancestor Wang Ji couldn't help but speak.

Tian Chenzi also said: "What the senior brother did may not be entirely out of selfishness, and Li An is not dead, so the punishment is indeed too heavy."

The Taoist Ku Xiu shook his head and said: "Not heavy."

"After five years, if Tai Qingzi can walk out alive, he will be restored to the position of headmaster. If he dies, he will redeem himself."

"This is also what the immortals and the Sir want."

This sentence was very light, but all the peak masters in the hall were silent in an instant.

"Master Wang, you must treat Li An with great care and make him recover quickly."

"Changshou, from now on, Li An must be treated well at Changqing Peak and given more guidance. Although you are not directly responsible, you were deceived by Taiqingzi and almost made a big mistake. This is also your sin. You must redeem yourself."

The Taoist Kuxiu gave instructions one by one, and Gui Changshou and Wang Rufu both obeyed the order respectfully.

"This matter should not be made public. Tell the public that the great master of the Demon Cult, Ye Mo, lured Jun Yelin astray and hurt Li An. That's it!"

"Also issue a kill order to hunt down Jun Yelin and Ye Mo."

Everyone nodded.

"Is Li An awake? What did he say?"

The Supreme asked again.

Wang Rufu said, "Your Majesty, I have asked, Li An said that he only felt dizzy at the time, and then he lost consciousness, and he had no idea what happened."

The Majesty said, "In that case, it is not convenient for him to know about this matter."

...

Li An spent half a year in Huichun Cave to recover from his injuries.

Ordinary people don't have this treatment at all. As long as they can save their lives, they will be thrown out at most three to five days to avoid wasting resources. But he is special and is personally taken care of by the Majesty, so Wang Rufu is very concerned.

"You have recovered well, you should be able to leave."

Xueyan came in with medicine, took off Li An's clothes and took a look. The scars cut by Jun Yelin were completely invisible, smooth as jade, and the abdominal muscles were clearly visible.

"I think I'm still seriously injured..."

Li An spoke with difficulty.

Xueyan's slender jade hand suddenly grabbed the flesh under his armpits and twisted it hard.

"Ah——"

Li An immediately screamed in pain. Xueyan said: "Well, the voice is loud and powerful, no problem, go out--"

"You..."

Li An was very angry.

But Li An actually knew in his heart that under the conditioning of Huichun Peak, his life breath had really recovered to the peak state, and it was so vigorous that he was full of vigor. This could not be concealed, and it was useless to delay it any longer.

The most important thing was that he understood that his situation was safe now!

Through chatting with Xueyan, he had learned some of the outside world. The headmaster suddenly said that he was in seclusion half a year ago. Dao Zong issued a must-kill order to hunt down the Demon Sect Master and Jun Yelin. Gui Changshou specially sent a pill halfway...

Of course, there was also Xiang Yuntian, who had been guarding outside Huichun Cave for half a year, and had not left for a step, like a sculpture.

All kinds of signs showed that the deprivation of Li An's demon seed had already led to a conclusion, and Dao Zong, who was higher than the headmaster, should come forward.

That was enough.

That day, Li An officially walked out of Huichun Cave.

"Old turtle, you finally came out!"

Xiang Yuntian came forward and punched Li An in the chest lightly, saying: "How is it, you got cut, do you feel unwell?"

Li An said: "Don't worry, I will definitely live longer than you."

"The one who hurt you is the so-called Great Master of the Demon Sect, and the great genius Jun Yelin. Practice well, sooner or later we will find them and take revenge!"

Xiang Yuntian spoke solemnly.

Li An also nodded.

"Li An,"

Gui Changshou had also appeared, he smiled slightly, and said: "I'll take you back to the peak."

Li An bowed and said: "Thank you, Peak Master."

He immediately followed Gui Changshou.

Back at Changqing Peak, in the main hall, Gui Changshou said: "Regarding your injury, the headmaster personally reported to the Supreme. The Supreme came forward and everything has been settled. From now on, you can practice in Changqing Peak without worry. No one in the sect will dare to plot against you again."

Li An's heart moved slightly. Is Gui Changshou hinting at this?

Is he hinting that even the headmaster should have received the punishment he deserves?

"The Supreme is very concerned about you and asked me to take good care of you."

Gui Changshou continued, saying: "From now on, your monthly allowance will be adjusted to the same as that of the disciples of the Great Dao. According to the progress of your cultivation, you will enjoy the same resources as the disciples of the Great Dao."

"This is a jade talisman. With this talisman, you can enter and exit all the peaks and halls of the Dao Sect and obtain any resources that match your cultivation."

Li An's heart moved slightly. The "compensation" given to him by the Dao Sect was really sincere.

The disciples of the Great Dao are the real darlings in the sect. They will not have the trouble of insufficient resources at all. They can just take whatever they need for cultivation! Talisman pens, talisman paper, array materials, elixirs, body-hardening materials, etc.

Moreover, you can enter any place to listen to the teachings, and all the Sutra Pavilions can be read. If your cultivation is sufficient, you can also get the immortals' insights and notes, etc.!

It is against the rules of the sect to directly promote Li An to a disciple of the Great Dao, but this method gives him a bright future!

"In addition, when you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can take over the position of the head of Changqing Peak."

Gui Changshou suddenly said, "This is my personal promise to you."

Li An bowed deeply and said, "How can I be so virtuous and capable that I can trouble the head of the peak to take such trouble? I will do my best to practice hard and live up to the head of the peak and the Dao Sect!"

Gui Changshou nodded and said, "Go."

Li An respectfully left the hall.

"By the way," Gui Changshou wanted to say something, but Li An stopped. However, Gui Changshou suddenly smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to say sorry to you." Li An showed a puzzled look and said, "The peak master has done nothing wrong to his disciples. I am grateful!" After that, he left the hall. ... Back to his own cave. Li An thought carefully. The so-called retreat of the headmaster, Li An felt that he was probably punished. Gui Changshou would not have such a change of attitude if the headmaster had not fallen. Moreover, the Supreme came forward and took special care of Li An... From this point of view, Li An was relieved for the time being. Dao Sect can still stay. This is already very good. Such a large force can punish the headmaster and protect the disciples because of such a thing... It can be said to be a model in the world of immortal cultivation. In other sects, the headmaster and the headmaster killed a few disciples casually. Isn't that casual? Apologize? Treat them preferentially? You are dreaming. Of course, Li An also knew that the most important reason for him to get Dao Zong's apology should be his master, Fairy Purple!

"The intention of the headmaster is the same as that of the master..."

Li An recalled what Jun Yelin and Master Ye Mo said when they left.

He... had to hide in the weirdness!

"The headmaster also wanted some disciples to practice magic skills in case of an emergency, and Dao Zong still had a line of inheritance, but this matter was rejected by the sect's top leaders, so he would act secretly and target me..."

The headmaster was indeed full of courage.

In fact, after Li An learned more specific information from Fairy Purple, he also agreed that the headmaster's move was the fundamental strategy to save Dao Zong, which coincided with Fairy Purple.

But you want to save Dao Zong and you have to sacrifice me?

Li An was not filled with indignation for being wronged, nor was he angry for being unfair.

He just remembered the three people in his heart: Tai Qingzi, the headmaster of Dao Zong, Master Ye Mo of the Demon Sect, and Jun Yelin.

You are aloof, a lone hero, and you are powerful, but for Dao Zong or for the people of the world...

Sacrifice me, you never asked me.

If I have a chance to make you neither live nor die, I will be a saint.

But these thoughts only flashed in my mind.

Not to mention the headmaster Tai Qingzi and the great master of the Demon Sect Ye Mo, even Jun Ye Lin is much stronger than Li An, and they are not on the same level at all.

Talking about revenge, how ridiculous.

Slowly endure, slowly practice.

He will not show any hatred and resentment towards Dao Zong and the headmaster. On the contrary, from now on, he will be more "loving" and "loyal" to Dao Zong.

"The demon species is gone, and I will never be targeted again. This is the best..."

Li An has a good mentality.

In a sense, the compensation given to him by Dao Zong is also very good.

Moreover, more importantly...

Li An's demon seed can be reborn...

As long as the life seed is still there, the broken Dantian can be repaired, the destroyed Jindan can be reunited, and the demon seed is naturally no problem.

The demon seed is also very important to Li An, after all, it is his reliance for mixing in the weird in the future!

...

Soon, Li An received the monthly allowance.

Only when he really got it did Li An know how valuable the genius of the Great Dao is!

The monthly allowance is very monotonous:

Five thousand top-grade spirit stones!

It is five times that of the true disciples.

And, most importantly, Li An does not need to spend spirit stones at all at present!

As a true disciple who enjoys the treatment of the Great Dao, he can enjoy unlimited resources.

For example, if he wants to improve his ability to make talismans, he can use talismans and talisman pens at will, and read the talisman inheritance in the Dao Sect at will.

If you want to learn to make arrays, array books and materials are enough!

If you want to learn to make pills, you can use the top-level alchemy furnace and spiritual medicine at will.

Of course, the talismans, formations, elixirs, etc. that he made using this privilege all belonged to Dao Zong. If he wanted to keep them for himself, he had to use his own spirit stones to purchase the materials, and only the ones he made could be kept by him.

From this point, we can also see the cultivation concept of Dao Sect for the great genius: cultivate talents at all costs, but talents should eventually give back to the sect.

With such resources, how could Li An waste them? After receiving the monthly allowance, he went directly to the "Dao Lu Tang" of the sect.

Dao Lu Tang is the place where the sect is responsible for refining talismans.

After showing the jade talisman given to him by Gui Changshou, the elders and disciples of Dao Lu Tang did not ask much, and directly brought Li An the classics of talisman inheritance and various things needed.

"Elder, no great disciple has ever come to our Dao Lu Tang..."

Outside the quiet room, a disciple of Dao Lu Tang couldn't help but speak, with envy in his eyes.

Generally speaking, a true great genius would not waste time on cultivating immortals.

No array talisman can compare to one's own practice.

The most common places they used were the Dao Sect's major enlightenment sites and the major immortals' inheritance sites. They comprehended immortal skills and improved their cultivation, often staying in seclusion for dozens or even hundreds of years.

But Li An didn't think so at all.

What method of the Dao Sect could compare to the life-nourishing immortal art?

As for cultivation, no matter how hard he practiced, his cultivation would definitely be slower than that of normal people... In this case, he might as well use this time to fill up the skill tree!

Especially, he now has unique conditions!

Besides, it is normal for him to do this. In the eyes of others, although he has such treatment, his aptitude and talent are not good, so it is normal for him to turn to the cultivation of immortals.

...

Time flies.

Fifty years later, Li An finally walked out of the Fu Hall.

He refined the level of talismans to an unprecedented level!

For the fifth-level talismans corresponding to the God Transformation Period, his success rate reached 90%!

Even for the sixth-level talismans corresponding to the Refining Void Realm, his success rate reached 40%.

You must know that he is currently only in the middle stage of the Spiritualization!

"The Daoist Canon of Dao Sect is really vast. If you want to learn all the talismans alone, it will probably take thousands of years. I can only select some essential methods and inheritances..."

Li An couldn't help but sigh.

He has currently memorized all the seventh-level talisman inheritances!

There is an end to all kinds of immortal cultivation. The highest level in the world that falls into words is the seventh level, which corresponds to the realm of harmony with the Tao. Once you pass the level of a great power, all kinds of immortal cultivation will undergo qualitative changes, and everyone needs to comprehend.

From ancient times to the present, Dao Sect has naturally had talisman masters, alchemists, etc. above the seventh level, but Dao Sect has not left any inheritance.

Because in the view of Dao Sect, once you reach the level of a great power, you should focus on becoming an immortal, and the rest are just side issues, and you should not be distracted too much.

Li An is quite regretful about this, but this is enough!

He doesn't know when he can become a great power, and now even if he knows the inheritance of talismans above the seventh level, it is useless.

"In a few decades, I should be able to enter the late stage of transformation..." Li An was not in a hurry, and then he went to the formation hall. "With hundreds of years, the core paths of talismans, formations, elixirs, and refining tools are all completed!" This is Li An's plan. Just being able to achieve this step, it can be said that his gains from coming to Dao Sect... are really unimaginable. Outside of Dao Sect, not to mention all, just the way of talismans alone, Li An may not be able to get such a complete inheritance and such training opportunities in his entire life. He feels more and more... worth it! It is completely worth it to exchange a demon seed for such a status! "Boom!" That is, today, a terrifying wave spread throughout the entire Dao Sect. "Someone broke through the tribulation!" "Who is it!" "My Dao Sect has added another tribulation master!" Everyone in Dao Sect is extremely concerned. Finally, the news came--Dao Sect's head Tai Qingzi officially broke through the Mahayana and entered the tribulation realm! There is a rumor circulating that the headmaster spent ten years in Dao Sect's top purgatory "Sword Mountain and Fire Sea", and then retreated for forty years to comprehend, and finally entered the realm of transcending tribulation.

Some people say that the headmaster was blessed in disguise. He didn't know what mistake he made that year, and was punished by the Supreme to go to purgatory. Some people also say that the headmaster took the initiative to go there...

Li An was very calm about this. Tai Qingzi was definitely a person with a strong character. It should be normal for such a person to break through the tribulation... As for whether his entry into purgatory had anything to do with Li An... Li An didn't care.

"Brother Li An!"

Suddenly, a ray of light fell rapidly and landed in front of Li An.

Li An was a little surprised. The person who came was a disciple of Tiandao Peak!

"I am Lin Yin, and I am here to invite Senior Brother Li An on the orders of the headmaster!"

Li An was even more surprised and asked, "The headmaster called me, what's the matter?"

Lin Yin said, "I don't know, the heads of all the peaks have already gone to congratulate, please come with me, senior brother."

Li An nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them immediately rushed to Tiandao Peak.

...

On Tiandao Peak, the heads of all the peaks have already arrived, and they are all congratulating the headmaster, it's very lively.

Li An waited in the side hall, and after a long time, someone finally called him up.

Entering the main hall, the headmaster sat on the top, and only the heads of several main peaks such as Xiajian Peak, Yaozu Peak, and Changqing Peak were around.

"Greetings to the headmaster and the heads of all the peaks."

Li An bowed deeply.

"No need to be polite,"

The headmaster spoke, and Li An stood up and said, "I wonder why the headmaster called me?"

The headmaster said, "I want to accept you as my disciple and enter Tiandao Peak. I wonder if you are willing?"

Li An was surprised when he heard this!

...
