Chapter 308 Becoming the Grand Elder of Dao Sect

Li An's return caused a huge wave among the high-level officials of Dao Sect.

For many years, the focus of Dao Sect has always been on foreign lands and strange creatures. Although Dao Sect has obtained a lot of information, and even arranged Qiao Rumu and others to follow Yun Qian into foreign lands during the war, no one has returned and there is no news.

Therefore, Li An, a living witness, is too important to Dao Sect!

He was taken to the main hall, and almost all the high-level officials in the sect were there.

Li An took a glance, but there were many familiar figures missing. Now, there are less than ten immortals left in Dao Sect!

Kuyuanzi, Taiqingzi, Su Yebai, etc., and several corpse-reincarnated immortals.

Other peak masters, such as Xiang Yuntian, Song Qingsong, etc., have not reached the level of immortals. In addition, there are some new faces, such as Zhenxie Peak, Yaozu Peak, Tianhuo Peak, etc., which have been replaced by newcomers, and their cultivation is also mixed, with Mahayana and Tribulation.

Li An suddenly understood why Dao Sect had retreated in recent years. With the current strength of Dao Sect, it is impossible to suppress the world and prevent the heroes from becoming immortals as before.

It can even be said that the immortal-level existence of Dao Sect is far behind the forces of the same level such as Brahma Sect and Five Elements Sect!

Ku Yuanzi and others sat on the top and asked Li An about the situation in the foreign land.

Li An had already prepared. According to what he said, when Xianshan Island was destroyed, he was abducted by people from the foreign land and brought back to the Yi family. He worked as a slave in the Yi family for a period of time, responsible for growing blood and food, etc. This time the foreign land came again, he found an opportunity to escape.

He focused on describing the situation in the foreign land, including the arrival of the foreign land, the current distribution of forces in the foreign land, the intentions towards the spirit world, etc.

The hall was extremely quiet, and everyone's expression was extremely heavy, and there was even a hint of despair.

The main thing was that Li An went to the foreign land this time, and the information he brought back was more complete than what they had obtained before.

Dao Zong had previously analyzed many things in the depths of the South China Sea and concluded that the Immortal Realm might have undergone a huge change, and that the former Heavenly Court might have had a big problem, but now everyone truly understood the whole story...

It turns out that the Heavenly Court had already collapsed countless years ago, and the Immortal Realm had been completely occupied by the weird!

Moreover, the Alien Immortal Realm was really too strong.

The Yi family alone already had a celestial being in charge, and there were many such forces in the Zixiao State, and in the vast Spiritual Realm, the strongest cultivator at present was only Yun Qian Zhenxian.

How to resist?

"Prepare to keep the creatures of my Spiritual Realm in a pen like pigs... Haha, what a boldness, what a boldness!"

"I am the fish at the mercy of others... What golden age, it turns out that it was just the Alien Immortal Realm that was raising pigs?"

"What on earth happened in the Heavenly Court... Why is it like this?"

Everyone growled unwillingly and puzzled.

Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife. Li An knew in his heart that what he said might have a more serious impact on Dao Zong than the great defeat of that year.

He made Dao Zong clearly understand a fact: resistance is useless!

From the beginning, Dao Zong's resistance route was completely wrong and meaningless. On the contrary, Tai Qingzi's early method of hiding in weirdness and the subsequent escape plan were much more practical.

"Well, according to the latest news, those creatures who returned from the foreign land are currently building their own spiritual world fairy city... It seems that this is part of the foreign land's massive attack on the spiritual world."

But Ku Yuanzi spoke.

A few decades ago, when the foreign land appeared again, many immortals who went to the foreign land returned. These returning immortals were extremely powerful, far superior to the immortals in the spiritual world. Moreover, they occupied famous mountains and rivers, built their own fairy cities, recruited a large number of geniuses, and preached!

Dao Zong has been paying attention. According to intelligence, what these immortals are doing seems to be to take over the foreign immortal system!

Those immortals got great opportunities in the foreign land, but if they want to impact higher realms, such as true immortals and mysterious immortals, they need to establish a Taoist land corresponding to the foreign land in the spiritual world, waiting for the world to change again, and a higher immortal Taoist will come, and the owners of these immortal cities will get greater blessings and move towards a higher realm!

Now according to the various information Li An said, it can be inferred...

This is the foreign land preparing for a complete arrival!

"They occupy famous mountains and rivers and attract the creation of heaven and earth. If I am not mistaken, perhaps it is to target... Heavenly Dao?"

"Yes, this is the only explanation. The strength of the foreign land is far beyond our expectations. The only reason why the spiritual world has not died so far is that Heavenly Dao blocks and rejects alien spirits. Therefore, this is the last obstacle to their arrival!"

"Are we just going to watch these traitors destroy the foundation of Heavenly Dao on which the creatures of the spiritual world depend for survival?"

Everyone's eyes were filled with worry and gnashing teeth. "We need to think about this matter carefully. Li An's information is a great achievement for our Dao Sect. According to the Dao Sect's order, he will be promoted to the Grand Elder."

Ku Yuanzi suddenly spoke.

Everyone was surprised.

Li An was also stunned.

In his expectation, even if Dao Sect believed his words, he should be investigated in every possible way. After all, he came back from a foreign land. Who knows if he is a spy?

But Ku Yuanzi actually gave him such an honor directly...

Grand Elder...

This is the highest honor and status in Dao Sect.

Although Dao Sect is not as good as before and is on the decline, it is still very difficult to get to this point.

"Congratulations to Grand Elder Li!"

"Congratulations!"

In the hall, many peak masters stood up and saluted, and familiar faces such as Song Qingsong had complicated eyes.

Li An was once imprisoned in Xuangui Peak by Dao Sect, but later escaped. When he returned, he was a disciple of Dao Sect. Later, because his demon seed was taken away, he enjoyed the treatment of a disciple of the Great Dao. Later, he became an elder of Changqing Peak, and now... he has become a supreme elder.

A thousand years later, Li An's status is so much higher than theirs.

"The supreme elder is mighty!"

Xiang Yuntian was overjoyed and very happy about this.

"Elder Li just returned to Dao Sect, go and rest first--"

Ku Yuanzi smiled slightly and said.

Immediately, Li An bowed to the other supreme elders and left with Xiang Yuntian and others.

In the hall, other immortals also left, leaving only Ku Yuanzi and Tai Qingzi.

"Master, with Li An's cultivation, it is not appropriate to be the supreme elder...?"

Tai Qingzi asked in a low voice.

Kuyuanzi said, "This is the order issued by our Dao Sect. He has returned from a foreign land and brought back so many important information. Naturally, it should be fulfilled."

"Besides, a person who has been deep in a foreign land and has gained the trust of the Yi family can still return to Dao Sect, which shows his sincerity. In times of adversity, loyalty is revealed, which proves this. Although Li An is from the devil, he is indeed a worthy disciple of our Dao Sect!"

Taiqingzi continued, "How can Master be sure that Li An's return is not behind the Yi family? Since the major forces in the foreign land want to compete for the territory of the spiritual world, maybe Li An's return is a move made by the Yi family in advance."

Kuyuanzi stood up and smiled, saying, "It doesn't matter."

"Taiqing, since our Dao Sect has decided to fight with all its strength, what difference does it make whether the broken bricks and tiles of Dao Sect are occupied by the Yi family or other forces?"

"Besides, don't you think that if Li An is really an enemy spy, it would be better?"

Taiqingzi was stunned and puzzled.

"Didn't you say that sneaking into foreign lands is the way for Dao Sect to survive? The two chess pieces you played were Shangguan Xiaoxiao and Jun Yelin. It's a pity that Jun Yelin is not in charge, and now there is only Shangguan Xiaoxiao."

There was some sadness and fatigue in Kuyuanzi's eyes: "If Li An really surrendered to the Yi family and became a spy for the Yi family, we would give him a big gift and let him gain a firm foothold in foreign lands. In this way, it would also make up for the gap you left behind in Jun Yelin."

Taiqingzi suddenly understood.

Until now, Kuyuanzi... obviously agreed with Taiqingzi's route back then.

This is why he is willing to let Li An be the supreme elder!

If Li An is really sincere and loyal to Dao Sect, then he deserves this honor.

If Li An is a spy of the Yi family, that's fine. They treat Li An as a chess piece hidden in the mystery, give Li An status, and even give Li An the land of Dao Sect in the future, so that he can take it as a token of surrender, which can help Li An stand more firmly in the foreign land.

"Li An's determination and scheming are much stronger than Jun Yelin. If I say, you chose the wrong person back then."

Ku Yuanzi was exhausted, but smiled casually.

Tai Qingzi was speechless. He suddenly remembered a conversation between him and Shangguan Xiaoxiao...

At that time, Shangguan Xiaoxiao asked him what kind of person he was looking for.

He once answered: "Find a strong man who can practice magic skills and walk alone in the dark, who is tough to the point of ruthlessness, forbearing to the level of cold-bloodedness, and wise to the level of evil..."

Obviously, Jun Yelin is not such a person.

What about Li An?

Is he? ?

Tai Qingzi's heart suddenly changed when he heard Kuyuanzi's words. If that was true, then it might be better for Li An to hide in the darkness.

He and Shangguan Xiaoxiao had a deep affection for each other, and they could support each other and hide in the darkness together.

He and Xiang Yuntian had a deep brotherly love, so they could be loyal to each other and never forget Dao Zong.

For a moment, Li An was like a beam of light in his heart, illuminating it instantly!

Could it be that the responsibility of Dao Zong's eternal affairs and survival would eventually fall on Li An?

He had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, which was really unexpected.

For many years, Li An actually did not have much presence in Dao Zong. In terms of talent, he was far inferior to Xiang Yuntian and others; in terms of status, he was far behind his peers, and was only an elder of Changqing Peak; in terms of cultivation, he was only in harmony with Dao...

"Destiny, destiny!"

He sighed!

"Thank you, Master..." He stood up, looked at Kuyuanzi with some excitement, and bowed deeply. For many years, he had been making plans in this regard without telling Kuyuanzi, because he knew that Kuyuanzi was a true defender of the Dao and could not coexist with the Demon Dao, but now Kuyuanzi pointed him out and helped his plan take a big step forward! Kuyuanzi's old face was full of fatigue. He said with emotion: "I am a pedantic person, but everything I have done in my life is for the survival of the Dao Sect. I have never had any selfish motives." "Since the overall situation has been decided, let the young people try. I am old, and those who are about to die... should also make way." He closed his eyes, as if he had made a deep reconciliation with his stubborn self. "I will arrange for Elder Li to record all the classics of Dao Sect... I will give him whatever he wants."

What I give to Li An now are things that may be kept in the future and have a chance to reappear in the world after experiencing the catastrophe.

...

"So that's it..."

After leaving the hall, Li An learned from Xiang Yuntian that Dao Sect had issued a Dao Sect order several years ago. If a disciple could enter the foreign land and find out the enemy situation and return, he could be directly promoted to the supreme elder.

Unfortunately, the foreign land is dangerous, and Dao Sect naturally has many brave disciples who go one after another, but they can't find the way after all. Even if they are lucky enough to enter, they only go to the fairy city set up by the foreign people, and can't contact the strange tribes in the foreign land, let alone bring back any useful information.

Now it seems that just what Li An learned from the gatekeeper Yi Wei when he was imprisoned in the Yi family compound is extremely important information for Dao Sect.

Li An's return was in response to this Dao Sect's order, so he could naturally ascend to the position of the Grand Elder.

"I never expected that the old turtle, seemingly crawling slowly, would reach the top in the blink of an eye...hahahaha!"

Xiang Yuntian was very happy. He set up a banquet on Xiajian Peak that day. Gu Canye and An Li were also there. During the small gathering, everyone was drinking and having a good time.

Gu Canye and Xiang Yuntian's cultivation had reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage. An Li also caught up again and began to prepare to impact the Dao. Generally speaking, everything was moving in a good direction.

"By the way, how could there be so few immortals in Dao Sect? Where are Senior Qiao, Grandmaster Wang Ji and the others?"

Li An asked. His intuition told him that Dao Sect must have some preparations. When the great defeat occurred, only Tian Chenzi was killed in the battle among the immortals of that generation of Dao Sect.

"I don't know. Only Kuyuan Taishang and Taiqing Taishang know..."

He shook his head at Yuntian. This matter was a real secret.

In fact, even Helian Tuxian, Yun Qian and others disappeared.

Over the years, Dao Zong has been hiding inside and has never gone out to fight. On the one hand, it is difficult to resist the general trend, and on the other hand, it is mostly to keep this matter secret.

After all, once there is a big friction and confrontation with the outside world, Dao Zong's details will be easily exposed.

Li An was quite cautious in his heart. No matter how you look at it, Dao Zong's plot should be big. So many immortals disappeared together. For this, Dao Zong gave up countless benefits. It goes without saying that all the immortal cities in Xinzhou have changed hands. Even the territory of Daozhou, according to what Li An knows, is being gradually eroded...but it has been holding back!

"I hope it won't affect me."

Li An murmured in his heart.

In addition, over the years, the internal situation of Dao Zong is also very different from the beginning.

After experiencing a great defeat, and then retreating and tolerating, most of the disciples of Dao Sect lost their spirit and became very passive and conservative. Moreover, since they could not use immortal materials, most of the disciples' cultivation was far behind other forces, and it was really getting worse day by day.

"Lei Tianlan's grandson surrendered to the enemy, and when he was on a mission again, he joined the Five Elements Sect."

"The master of the Xuzhou branch led thousands of disciples to set up his own sect... hehe..."

The whole Dao Sect was in a critical situation.

"Dao Sect has built many cross-border ships and is ready to find a suitable opportunity to let us leave. We can't stay in the spirit world and flee to the heavens. What the future holds is unknown, but I heard that a stable road has been found that can lead to a piece of pure land..."

Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye told about the situation in the past few years, feeling very emotional and sighing.

Of course, it's not just Dao Sect. Other big forces, such as Brahma Sect, are actually very nervous, and are also building a large number of cross-border ships. It is said that some senior officials have already left in advance.

This is also the reason why Dao Sect has declined but has not been targeted by those forces. Everyone knows that the big ones are coming, and they run as fast as they can. Who cares about others?

"Brother Li has become the Supreme Elder now, which is really a great event. Come, let's drink a glass!"

Gu Canye spoke and raised his glass again.

...

The news that Li An became the Supreme Elder spread throughout Dao Sect.

After becoming the Supreme Elder, he was listed among the most powerful people in Dao Sect. Although his gold content is not high, he has all the treatment and authority he should have.

Tai Qingzi was very enthusiastic and took Li An into many secret places in Dao Sect. Li An also had a new understanding of Dao Sect.

The various forbidden techniques collected by Dao Sect, the highest immortal scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion, and the peaks of the Supreme Elders and the head of the sects of each generation

The cultivation notes left by the masters, the magic weapons left by the immortals when they ascended, etc.

The Dao Sect is indeed a great sect!

Tai Qingzi said that as the Supreme, he must master the classics of the Dao Sect, so he specially arranged two years for Li An to read various classics. There are many kinds of Taoist scriptures, and Li An naturally cannot comprehend them all within two years, but what he wants is that Li An writes them down.

Li An did not refuse this.

Although he has the life-nourishing immortality formula and does not need other cultivation methods, the experience and understanding of the predecessors who cultivated to become immortals, the reflection and comparison of various immortal scriptures, etc., will greatly improve a cultivator's vision and understanding.

It can strengthen the foundation!

In particular, the talismans, elixirs, and formations that he is looking for everywhere, these things, once they reach the state of harmony, there is no clear and unified inheritance system in the world, and they all rely on the great cultivators to comprehend them on their own. There is no reference in other places.

But the Dao Sect has them all!

The foundation is too profound. In the vast history of Dao Sect, what kind of talents have not appeared? "Power Immortal" who became immortal through formation, "Dan Immortal" who communicated with gods through elixirs, and even the talisman. Although no one has directly used this way to become immortal, there have been many old monsters in the Tribulation Period who still have many insights into talismans in this realm.

These things are very important to him.

Moreover, he can now allocate the resources of Dao Sect infinitely, so Li An has no time to spare. He directly asked people to prepare various rare materials for him, refine runes, talisman pens, formation materials, etc.

Even in order to serve his needs, Dao Sect specially built a Taoist temple for him on Tiandao Peak, and arranged the elite disciples he needed to serve him, so that he could practice Taoism with peace of mind and not ask about other things.

It is worth mentioning that the two descendants he brought back from the Evil Spirit Lake were originally arranged by him to do odd jobs in Changqing Peak, but after a thousand years, they already had offspring in the sect. One of them was a woman named Li Qingran, who was very talented and was already a formal disciple of the Dao Sect. This time, she was also arranged to be driven by Li An.

When Li An saw Li Qingran, he was still slightly relieved.

He didn't really have much feelings about passing on the family line, but thinking that the Li family of Qianshui Yunzhou in the Yuanling Realm had been destroyed over the years, and the Li family of the Evil Spirit Lake was also scattered in the sea of ​​people, and he didn't know if anyone was still alive, it was a good thing that a flower had bloomed in the Dao Sect.

Therefore, he was also very concerned about Li Qingran, and gave her many classic immortal scriptures and secretly pointed out a lot of things.

...

Li An's life now is very good, even better than when he had a great talent. Every day he indulges in various great classics and immerses himself in practice, and feels like he has forgotten time.

Moreover, Tiandao Peak is a first-class blessed land. He also found that his life seed was absorbing other forces of creation from Tiandao Peak in addition to the power of the years, which made his cultivation speed faster.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three hundred years have passed.

Li An's cultivation level has come naturally and he has broken through to the middle stage of Mahayana!

It took a few hundred years less than he expected.

He also deeply felt that although the life seed can grow and practice with the power of time, the blessed land... is still very important!

"Ninth-level talisman, I should give it a try!"

On this day, Li An was finally ready to try the ninth-level rune!

Ninth-level rune, corresponding to the Tribulation Period, the rune inheritance of this stage is rare in the world, and there is no clear system at all. Li An studied countless masters' notes and spent three hundred years to gain insights.

In fact, if he could gain such insights in three hundred years, he would definitely be regarded as a peerless genius in this field if he told others.

This is the effect of his life-nourishing immortal art. His life seed was slowly changing his spiritual roots. Later, after obtaining the complete life-nourishing immortal art and being baptized by thunder and lightning, Li An's qualifications soared to the sky. In terms of spiritual roots, he is now definitely the legendary "heavenly spiritual roots".

Not inferior to the top geniuses of Dao Sect.

What's more, he is practicing both the Great Dao and the Great Dao, refining strange methods and correcting the orthodox immortal way. In the constant verification, his understanding of the Great Dao is also constantly increasing, so he gains very quickly.

If it were placed in the outside world, it would not be easy to find the ninth-level talisman paper and talisman pen. Fortunately, there is no shortage of them in the foundation of Dao Sect, and now they are all given to Li An.

He held a fiery red pen, and the tip of the pen made of the feather of the ninth-level exotic beast was immersed in the spiritual ink ground from the liquid of creation and the cinnabar of the Great Dao. After absorbing the ink, it fell on the talisman paper made of the smoke and clouds of the cave, outlining an amazing trace.

Every stroke of the pen has a sense of being on the right path, and the rhythm of the Tao is born!

This is the way of the ninth-level talisman.

The ninth-level talisman is the pinnacle of the world. Going up further, it is to become an immortal and transcend the tribulation, and the heaven will grant the talisman.

It took Li An three hundred years to absorb the theory and internalize it in his heart, and it took another 150 years just to practice the talisman and indulge in making talismans!

After 150 years, with a huge amount of resources consumed, he finally made the first ninth-level talisman - the Sky Fire Talisman!

The Sky Fire Talisman, as its name suggests, was once obtained by a peak master of the Sky Fire Peak who was in the Tribulation Period. He sensed the fire of heaven and earth and accidentally obtained it. It contains the true meaning of the five elements of fire in the creation. When the Sky Fire Talisman falls, it is like the sky is on fire. One talisman has the power to destroy a continent!

Li An is extremely relieved!

"Sir, Miss Li Nianxue from the Demon Ancestor Peak has been waiting for you for ten years and has always wanted to see you."

He came out of retreat, and his descendant Li Qingran came forward to report leisurely.

Li An's heart moved, Li Nianxue?

Li Yunxiao and Tan Qingxue... No, with the daughter of an unknown demon, why did she come to see him?

...
