Chapter 268 Breakthrough

Time flies, and another forty years have passed!

"Finally perfected--"

Li An walked out of the retreat. After forty years of hard practice, his cultivation finally reached the perfection of the Spiritualization.

He can now strive for the Void Refining.

After he came out of retreat, he immediately went to Xiang Yuntian and others to have a drink.

In the past forty years, many things have happened in the outside world.

"The wind of immortality from the South China Sea has blown many times, and it contains immortal energy. Many ordinary cultivators have transformed and become geniuses in cultivation because of the wind of immortality. In the past few decades, Xinzhou has become the place where the greatest geniuses are produced!"

Talking to Xiang Yuntian, he said: "Many disciples in Dao Sect have rushed to Xinzhou, wanting to fight for an opportunity, and the sect has no longer stopped them."

"Li Yunxiao and Tan Qingxue went there the earliest, made the earliest arrangements, and got the most opportunities. After returning, they went into seclusion directly. In a few hundred years, they may even be able to impact the great power!"

"Many big figures in Dao Sect have made predictions: a golden age is likely to appear in the spirit world!"

Golden Age!

Since the news of the first typhoon in the South China Sea reached Dao Sect, decades have passed, and the fluctuations there have become more and more intense, and the breath that comes every time has become more and more intense.

"Of course, it's not just the air of immortals. Those immortal winds are accompanied by a strong and strange aura. Those who are invaded by the strange aura have also undergone changes, especially those in the Demon Sect and the Evil Sect, who have become very powerful. The leader of the Demon Sect, Shangguan Shengxian, is known as the second Demon Emperor in the world... Twenty years ago, she attacked our people in Xinzhou, causing heavy casualties!" "That's why the sect has invested a lot of people to maintain order and fight against the Demon Sect." The main changes are almost all from Xinzhou. "According to the results of the deductions of the Taishang in the sect, within thirty years, there will definitely be a vast sea immortal wind. By then, the whole Xinzhou may be shrouded!" "Xinzhou may become a wasteland because of this storm, or it may become a holy place for cultivation!" Thirty years! Li An couldn't help but be silent. The first round of major changes that the master said was finally coming... "Didn't you go to Xinzhou?" Li An asked. Gu Canye spread his hands and said, "The peak master doesn't allow it. Our Xiajian Peak is different. The sword intention comes first. Only when the sword intention reaches the corresponding level can we obtain the opportunity of the immortal way..."

Li An was slightly relieved. He really didn't want Xiang Yuntian to be contaminated by these things.

"What about Shangguan Xiaoxiao? How is she?"

"I heard that she has been in seclusion for decades and has not come out yet. I'm not sure..."

Li An was even more relieved.

"Old turtle, you should also break through quickly. Among the true disciples, you are probably the only one who has not broken through the refining emptiness..."

"Otherwise, you can find a chance to go to Xinzhou. There are many opportunities there. If you can improve your qualifications, that would be the best..."

Xiang Yuntian spoke up, obviously very dissatisfied with Li An's practice speed!

Mainly, Li An has been practicing hard. He almost didn't participate in the immortal ladder in Dao Sect, and didn't get the opportunity of immortals, etc., and Li An didn't catch up with the changes in Xinzhou.

I heard that Song Qingsong and others from Changqing Peak have already gone to Xinzhou and gained a lot.

Li An has indeed fallen behind!

"Well, I'll go and have a look after a while."

Li An smiled slightly and raised his glass, saying, "Cheers!"

...

Next, Li An began to prepare for the breakthrough of the refining void.

He went to the exchange office of the sect and bought a lot of supplies:

Five thousand pieces of sixth-level talisman paper, each piece is five hundred top-grade spirit stones, costing two and a half million top-grade spirit stones!

One hundred sets of sixth-level fortune jade, each set is ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, costing one million top-grade spirit stones!

Ten sets of sixth-level protective magic weapons, each set is about thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones, costing three hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!

Five sets of sixth-level attack magic weapons, each set is about fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones, costing two hundred and fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones!

Several sixth-level life-saving pills, recovery pills, etc., costing a total of two hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!

Sixth-level thunder stone, each piece is one hundred thousand spirit stones, and Li An bought five pieces!

...

This time, Li An spent a total of nearly five million top-grade spirit stones!

This is the treatment of a great Dao disciple.

For nearly two hundred years, Li An has received a monthly allowance of five thousand top-grade spirit stones every month. Among them, he only spent about two thousand spirit stones on his own cultivation every month, and the remaining three thousand spirit stones were all saved.

After spending five million top-grade spirit stones, he still had nearly one million left!

In Dao Sect, he basically had no worries about any resources.

This was the first time in several lifetimes that Li An felt what it was like to be a "tycoon".

Buy whatever you want and spend whatever you want, without any consideration.

And the reason why he bought so many things was because... he was going out.

Li An was not going to break through the refining void in Dao Sect!

Because when he breaks through the life-nourishing immortal art, he will actively attract the thunder to temper his life seed. At that time, the movement will be too loud, which is different from the breakthrough of ordinary people, and he is afraid of attracting attention.

Besides, he was also ready to cultivate the demon seed after breaking through the refining realm!

Over the years, he had not allowed the demon seed to revive, just because he was afraid of being discovered.

But the demon seed was indispensable, and it was his capital to hide the weirdness in the future.

His idea was to connect the demon seed with a new life seed branch after breaking through the refining realm, so that the demon seed could be nourished and improved by the life seed, and others would no longer be able to see it and would not be discovered.

So, since he decided to go out, he must be fully prepared.

All the things he purchased were sixth-level items, corresponding to the refining realm. With so many things, even if he encountered an enemy in the refining realm, he could protect himself!

"The fairy coffin can also come in handy..."

The fairy coffin left by Master Zi Xianzi has been in his dantian for hundreds of years, and has been completely integrated with him, becoming his life magic weapon!

But this fairy coffin has only two characteristics: one is solidity, and the other is storage.

What Li An wants to do is its storage function.

He was going to refine a large amount of runes, formations and other things, and put them into the immortal coffin. In the battle, he would swing the immortal coffin to hit people, and all kinds of talismans and formations would burst out from the immortal coffin. How fierce would that be?

Immediately, he began to retreat again.

This time, his main purpose was to make talismans, formations, etc.

Over the past hundred years, he has put a lot of effort in formations and talismans, so that he has mastered the sixth-level runes and formations, and even knows a lot about the formations and runes of the avenue level.

But his level of cultivation is limited to making the sixth level.

He made it very quickly.

…

Ten years later.

Li An finally walked out of the cave, and he was a little dazed!

For ten years, he hardly rested and worked hard.

At present, all the talisman resources and formations he bought have been refined into what he needs.

Five thousand sixth-level talisman papers were refined into more than 2,100 sixth-level talismans. One hundred sets of sixth-level creation jade were used to make forty-three sets of sixth-level formations. He put 1,500 sixth-level talisman papers and thirty formations into the immortal coffin and combined them. Once the immortal coffin was activated during the battle, the power of thirty sets of sixth-level formations and more than a thousand talisman papers, Li An felt that he could instantly kill the cultivators in the refining realm! In fact, according to what Li An knew, the Dao Sect's Dao-level geniuses were basically able to fight across levels without relying on any external objects. In the battlefield of the Ascension Ladder, he had heard that the Dao genius Yun Qian had challenged three refining realm masters in the posture of perfect transformation before breaking through the refining realm. He finally won. Very scary! Li An asked himself if he had such combat power, so relying on external objects was the only means he could use. With continuous accumulation of resources, the immortal coffin will become his big killer! He recuperated for a few more days, adjusted his state to the peak state, and then came out of retreat this time to pay homage to the peak master Gui Changshou.

"Disciple pays homage to the peak master!"

In the hall, Li An bowed deeply.

"After many years of practice, the transformation of the spirit is complete, not bad, not bad, steady and steady!"

Gui Changshou still looks the same as before, with white hair and beard but a rosy face, looking at Li An with a fairy-like appearance, he admires Li An very much!

Li An's character makes him like him very much!

Over the years, the Ascension Ladder, the changes in Xinzhou, and so on, great opportunities have come one after another, and their Changqing Peak disciples have also been a little restless, such as Song Qingsong, Zhao Nangeng, etc., who have already gone to Xinzhou and have indeed gained a lot, but Li An has been practicing and following his own path.

Although Li An's progress in cultivation is very slow, he does not think it is a problem.

"Disciple is going to Xinzhou,"

Li An said. Gui Changshou said: "That's fine. Going there to break through the Refining Void will also be good for you."

"Well, it just so happens that our peak should recruit new disciples recently. There are many geniuses in Xinzhou. You can go there and recruit some new people."

The Dao Sect only recruits new disciples once every hundred years, but because of the great changes in Xinzhou, the frequency of recruiting new disciples there has been adjusted to once every fifty years.

Li An has been practicing hard for many years. Changqing Peak has recruited disciples three times and has many new faces.

"Disciple obeys your command!"

Li An opened his mouth and immediately withdrew.

Leaving Changqing Peak, Li An went directly through the sect's teleportation array. Because he enjoyed the treatment of a great disciple, he was the only one in the teleportation array, and it was opened alone. The degree of confidentiality was also extremely high, so there was no need to worry about being discovered or killed.

...

Not long after.

Xinzhou, Diyuan Realm, inside a Taoist temple.

Boom!

The teleportation array flickered, and at the same time, the surrounding guardian arrays lit up directly to prevent people in the teleportation array from being killed when they landed.

In the Taoist temple, Zeng Xueyao, the temple master, hurriedly stood up and prepared to welcome him.

Those who can use this formation must be big figures in the Dao Sect.

The light flashed and gradually disappeared. There was already a young man on the teleportation array.

Seeing him, Zeng Xueyao was stunned.

Li An?

It turned out to be him...

She felt a little complicated for a while. She followed Zhan Qingxuan to the Diyuan Realm and brought Li An, Tan Qingxue and others to the Dao Sect. Later, Tan Qingxue, Xiang Yuntian and others shone brightly in the Dao Sect...

Now, even Li An has such a noble status?

Dao genius...

"Junior sister welcomes senior brother!"

After a moment of trance, Zeng Xueyao spoke.

Li An nodded and said, "Junior sister, you are polite. How is the situation in Xinzhou recently?"

Zeng Xueyao has been stationed here, so she must know a lot.

Zeng Xueyao immediately reported the situation in Xinzhou to Li An one by one.

Since the South China Sea incident, the major forces in the spiritual world, such as Dao Sect and Brahma Sect, have strengthened their control over Xinzhou and sent many elites to come.

Due to the influence of the sea's fairy spirit and strange spirit, there are more and more fairy talents and corrupted demons.

In recent years, Dao Sect, Brahma Sect and other major forces have even sent masters to explore the South China Sea, as if they are preparing something.

After a rough understanding, Li An immediately asked for a detailed map of Xinzhou today, and then left.

…

He was not in a hurry to break through, but to find a place first!

He first ruled out the Emperor Yuan Realm, Yuan Ling Realm, etc. These places were controlled by Dao Sect, Five Elements Sect, etc., and if the breakthrough was loud, they would also be discovered and noticed.

According to the map, he had several places of interest and was ready to investigate one by one.

"It's time to see the situation of my chess pieces..."

Revisiting the old place, Li An was in a good mood and first went to Xiling Yuanzhou in the Emperor Yuan Realm.

Xiling Yuanzhou, the scenery remains the same, but many Yuanying-level forces have emerged. Many of these forces are supported by Dao Zong. Any immortal talents produced in the sect will be taken in by Dao Zong.

The homeland of the Dali Empire is still there, but this country has been destroyed. Now it is replaced by a Yuanying force called Taiyuan Sect. The entire territory of Dali, and even most of the former Yan State, are controlled by this sect.

Taiyuan Sect is one of the affiliated forces of Dao Zong, and it is normal for such development.

Revisiting the old place, many powerful new spirit beasts have emerged in the Yunhuan Mountains. Li An stepped into it and found the cave where he and Gu Hong hunted Yuanhun beasts in the past.

There are new Yuanhun beasts living in the cave, and they are as high as the Yuanying level. When Li An arrived, these Yuanhun beasts trembled and dared not move in fear.

But Li An just stood there for a long time.

Then left. In the northern part of Dali, Tianyang City, Baihu City... these are no longer there, replaced by new cities with new names.

Only the name of Cuiyue Valley has not changed.

Gu Hong and her master Gu Songxi lived in seclusion here, and Li An also practiced here for a period of time.

Now this spiritual vein has grown into a third-level spiritual vein, close to the fourth-level spiritual vein. There are several Zhendan cultivators practicing in the valley. Li An entered it effortlessly. These Zhendan cultivators rushed out, but when they saw Li An, they were shocked and hurriedly saluted.

"Senior, what do you want to do for me?"

"Can we serve you?"

They all understood that the young man in front of them was definitely a super strong man who could not be provoked and needed to be treated with respect.

"No need, I just revisited the old place and came here to take a look."

Li An waved his hand, and the group of Zhendan cultivators immediately retreated tactfully.

Fortunately, the roses planted in the Cuiyue Valley in the past are still there, blooming brightly, with petals falling all over the ground.

In front of these roses, Gu Hong wanted Li An to stay with her, but Li An refused.

At that time, Li An said that he only wanted to be immortal.

Now, the immortal path has reached the level of transformation.

Seeing things reminds me of people, but the old people are gone after all.

"You can leave, this is my old place."

Li An called the Zhendan cultivators and gave them some top-grade spirit stones. These Zhendan cultivators were surprised, and then thanked them profusely and left without saying anything.

After they left, Li An made a fourth-level formation here.

The fourth-level formation consumes less spirit stones, and it contains his will. If anyone tries to approach it, they will know that this is the place where a great cultivator of the Dao Sect has transformed into a spirit.

Now the entire Diyuan Realm is under the control of the Dao Sect, and no one dares to invade it at will.

After doing all this, Li An soon arrived at the old place of the Xuanyang Sect. The "Seven Yin Sect" that Lin Fangping and he founded was still there, but it was very low-key. Li An sneaked in quietly and found that it was no different from the past...

"Huh?"

But Li An soon discovered the problem. Several elders at the core of the Seven Yin Sect...

All have become demon cultivators!

This made Li An very happy. Lin Fangping's idle move finally got into the demon sect?

It didn't take much effort for him to find Lin Fangping's place of practice. Now Lin Fangping is a Yuanying cultivator, and there is a demon seed in his body.

"No, Lin Fangping's body not only has a demon seed, but also an authentic Taoist aura..."

Li An immediately discovered something unusual!

This kind of Taoist aura is difficult to cultivate for a disciple like Lin Fangping!

"Could it be Jun Yelin?"

Li An had a guess in his mind.

This

It is almost the only possibility.

Jun Yelin has inherited the true teachings of the Taoist sect and is also proficient in magic skills. Only if Lin Fangping joins him can he have such an opportunity.

"Master, the witch you want has been delivered..."

Outside Lin Fangping's retreat, an elder brought a girl and said, "This girl has a very good physique!"

Lin Fangping walked out, glanced at her, and nodded, "Okay, this girl has good qualifications... Go and get the reward!"

The elder left happily, and Lin Fangping took the girl into his practice place. The girl had a look of fear on her face, but Lin Fangping smiled warmly:

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you or touch you, on the contrary, I will give you a great opportunity!"

"I will teach you a skill, you practice it well, once you succeed, you will have a bright future! This is a secret medicine, you take it first..."

The girl didn't dare to resist, and did everything Lin Fangping said, and then Lin Fangping arranged her in a quiet room in the retreat.

Li An has noticed that there are more than a dozen quiet rooms in his retreat, all of which are imprisoned with similar witches!

"Refine a medium?!"

Li An's heart moved slightly. The skills that Lin Fangping gave to these girls and the magic potion they took... reminded Li An of the "medium" in the Immortal Heavenly Demon Art.

The so-called medium is to use a living person as a medium to help the practitioners of magic art to absorb and refine the Heavenly Demon's essence!

The Heavenly Demon is the highest level existence in the Demon Cult. It is said that only the Demon Emperor has reached this level.

The Heavenly Demon's essence must be the essence left by the Demon Emperor!

Lin Fangping absolutely cannot get such a thing. Could it be... Jun Yelin?

This is very likely!

Jun Yelin was originally a chess piece arranged by the head of the Dao Sect. In the past, the Dao Sect destroyed the Demon Cult, and many of the Demon Cult's treasures also fell into the hands of the Dao Sect. It is normal to give it to Jun Yelin now.

Li An's heart moved suddenly. He did not expect that Lin Fangping, this chess piece, would bring him such a clue!

But he still needed further verification. He waited for a few days. After Lin Fangping left the retreat, he quietly sneaked in, made one of the mediums fall asleep, and then took the elixir that the medium took.

The elixir was carefully made, with a layer of elixir on the surface to prevent the medicine from leaking out. Li An gently peeled it open and sniffed it. A faint familiar smell came instantly.

"It's my demon seed."

Li An's heart was slightly cold. It must be Jun Yelin!

The medium was made for Jun Yelin, so this secret medicine was based on the breath of Jun Yelin's demon seed.

"To absorb the origin of the demon, the medium required is extremely high. Those cultivated by Lin Fangping will need many years to meet the requirements..."

Li An put the elixir into the woman's mouth and let her absorb it so as not to be discovered, and then turned and left.

Li An only paid attention to Jun Yelin's affairs. As for whether to stop and destroy it, he was not sure.

Because he knew nothing about Jun Yelin's current situation. Did this person get in touch with Shangguan Shengxian and others? Is the great master Ye Mo still around? What level has he reached in his cultivation...

These are all things that Li An needs to consider.

You can't do it just because you want revenge.

That's not revenge, it's sending people to their deaths.

After leaving, Li An passed by the Yuanling Realm and also went to the Evil Spirit Lake on the way.

What surprised him was that the Evil Spirit Lake has developed quite well now and has become a Yuanying-level force. Li Shuangshuang has become the ancestor of the family and a Yuanying powerhouse.

Back then, Li An pretended to be Gu Dao and disappeared in a battle in Taixuan Mountains. Li Shuangshuang was captured by Li Chengwang.

Before Li An entered Dao Sect later, he asked Zeng Xueyao to help Li Shuangshuang.

I didn't expect it to develop so well today.

Li An asked around and found out what happened. Zeng Xueyao didn't interfere too much at the beginning. She just rescued Li Shuangshuang, but the Li family soon suffered a disaster. After Li An walked out of the Immortal Meteorite Secret Realm, his identity was exposed. Many people knew that he was the ancestor of the Li family, so many mysterious forces came to the Li family and asked about the inheritance of immortal methods. The Li family collapsed directly! Li Shuangshuang hid her identity and survived. Li An couldn't help sighing. He wanted to come back this time and settle accounts. Unexpectedly, he didn't need to take action at all... He didn't disturb Li Shuangshuang and others. He left the Evil Spirit Lake and quickly arrived at a remote place. He swept his mind and found a cave. In the cave, the Blue Flame Divine Bird and the puppet Gao Tai were still there! Li An was very happy and called immediately. The Blue Flame Divine Bird turned into a green light and rushed out of the cave, shouting excitedly, circling around Li An and rubbing his head intimately. One man and one bird, they have been separated for a hundred years!

When entering Dao Sect, Li An had thought about taking the Blue Flame Divine Bird with him, but firstly, he was afraid that if the Blue Flame Divine Bird went there, he would attract some attention. After all, ordinary Blue Flame Divine Birds were only fourth-level spiritual birds, but his bird had broken through the limit.

Secondly, he was also worried at that time that it would be hard to predict whether it would be good or bad after going to Dao Sect, so it was a good thing to let the Blue Flame Divine Bird guard Gao Tai and give him a glimmer of life.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Li An took out many spiritual medicines and handed them to the Blue Flame Divine Bird, which swallowed them directly.

These spiritual medicines were cultivated by Li An on Changqing Peak, and the lowest was fifth grade. After eating a few bites, the Blue Flame Divine Bird was already full of spiritual energy.

It has basically not gone out in these years, and the spiritual veins here are not high enough to support it. Its cultivation has not improved, but has declined.

Li An took back a Yuanling placed on the puppet Gao Tai, and then left with the Blue Flame Divine Bird.

...

A month later. Li An's Cangyuan Realm in Xinzhou.

He studied it for a long time. Cangyuan Realm is one of the least noticeable realms in Xinzhou now. It is because of its geographical location that it has not been blown by the fairy wind of the South China Sea, resulting in no fairy talents or demons.

The talents and forces in this realm have been greatly outflowed.

The major forces have basically no interest in such a place, and even the demon sects are unwilling to come.

It is a deserted place.

But for Li An, it is a perfect place to break through.

He wandered around Cangyuan Realm for half a year, doing various research and searching, and finally determined his place to break through -

The Xingluo Mountains in the southern region of Cangyuan Realm. This mountain range is vast, with a total area of ​​one million miles. Few people have set foot in the depths. The most important thing is that he found a sixth-level spiritual vein here!

After hundreds of years of nourishment, Xinzhou has changed with each passing day, and there are also spiritual veins of this level.

However, this spiritual vein is hidden in the depths of Xingluo Mountains and is occupied by two divine apes in the God Transformation Period.

After some investigation, Li An released the Blue Flame Divine Bird on this day.

The Blue Flame Divine Bird flew over the territory of the two giant apes. Suddenly, one of the purple giant apes roared and rushed out at an extremely fast speed. It caught up in the blink of an eye and grabbed it with its big hand, ready to tear the Blue Flame Divine Bird into pieces.

But at this moment, Li An, who was hiding above the wings of the Blue Flame Divine Bird, suddenly waved his hand, and several sixth-level talismans fell down. At the same time, a sixth-level flying sword, a sun-piercing spear, and a black giant crossbow on Li An's body exploded together.

The giant ape was not prepared for an ambush, and was directly pierced by Li An before he could dodge!

"Roar!"

The second fifth-level spirit beast in the territory roared and rushed towards Li An. This time, Li An had an idea of ​​the fighting power of the divine ape, and he did not use any magic weapons, talismans, etc., but stepped on it directly!

He did not even use spells, etc., and stepped on it with pure spiritual power.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the head of the soaring ape was directly crushed by Li An, and its body exploded and turned into a ball of blood mist!

The Blue Flame Divine Bird shouted, very happy, and hurriedly flew over, and immediately got this rare blood!

Li An had already landed on a green mountain. His figure was graceful, and he felt the breath of the sixth-level spiritual veins around him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Dao Zong has practiced for hundreds of years, and now he can easily kill the fierce beasts in the God Transformation Stage!

His current cultivation is definitely invincible at the same level!

In fact, even if he didn't ambush, he could kill two apes directly, but he was always careful, so he let the Blue Flame Divine Bird lure the enemy and kill one first.

Immediately, he hollowed out the interior of the green mountain and built a qualified cave, and then set up a sixth-level formation 200,000 miles, 100,000 miles, 50,000 miles, and 30,000 miles away from the cave as a protection!

There are three sixth-level formations in the cave!

It can be said that his cave was built like an iron barrel by him. Even if a master of Lianxu came, it would be extremely difficult for him to rush over.

Of course, this is just a preparation. Li An has thought carefully. Because there are no resources in this world and it has not been affected by the fairy wind of the South China Sea, the masters and talents in the territory have long been outflowing.

Not to mention the great power of Lianxu, even at the stage of Huashen, there are only a few fierce beasts left, and the slightly stronger Yuanying have all run to the outside world.

In other words, it is estimated that no one in this world is his opponent.

Moreover, if there is any accident, Lianxu and the great power rush over, if it is really impossible, Li An can still summon the masters of Dao Sect in Xinzhou to help. He is treated as a genius of the Great Dao. Once an order is issued, the thousands of troops of Dao Sect in Xinzhou will come.

Not afraid at all!

After arranging everything, he immediately began to retreat.

To make the final preparations for the impact of Lianxu——

…
