Chapter 311 Farewell to Best Friend

This is an unprecedented mass escape!

The spiritual world is boundless, how many creatures are there in the world? There are billions of them that are difficult to count, and now, in order to avoid the invasion of strange substances, they are all rushing towards Daozhou.

In fact, although there is a constant influx of strange air in the hole in the broken net of heaven and earth, it is impossible to destroy the entire spiritual world for a while. After all, the spiritual world is too big. Xinzhou and those places where the returning immortals built immortal cities are the hardest hit areas, and other areas will be better.

Even some remote places have not yet had a trace of strange air descend.

But everyone knows that this is only a matter of time.

What's more, Dao Zong Ling also spread the news that some creatures will be selected to be sent away and let them leave the spiritual world.

Regardless of camp, cultivation, or race!

This has suddenly become the hope of the entire spiritual world!

...

"Too many people!"

As the Supreme, Li An is directly responsible for one side and sits in "Daoyin City", a big city in the northwest of Daozhou. The population of the city is over 100 million, and now there are more than ten times more people coming from all directions.

"The formation is running at full capacity. Anyone who takes the opportunity to cause trouble will be killed!"

A large amount of spiritual stones and other things are filled into the formation. The formation is overwhelming. Everyone who comes here behaves well. Many people who cannot enter the city will wait outside the city.

Li Qingran, Li An's subordinate, leads 20 troops and is responsible for the selection.

The process of Dao Sect selecting people mainly has two rounds:

The first round is random selection. The dice of the Great Dao are rolling. The selected people, whether they are old people, children, masters, or beasts and spirit birds that flee here, will obtain preliminary qualifications.

The second round requires verification. If the selected people have practiced magic, or taken immortal substances from foreign lands, or practiced immortal scriptures from foreign lands, they will be screened out.

Li An was puzzled by this. Although Dao Zong could exclude some people by doing this, the people selected were still completely without standards. They were neither talented geniuses nor kind-hearted people...

They might choose worthless old, weak, sick and disabled people, or executioners who had committed many evil deeds... In this case, is there any meaning in screening?

But the answers of Ku Yuanzi and others made Li An silent:

"Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. What Dao Zong does is to represent the way of heaven!"

--The purpose of Dao Zong is to preserve the seeds of civilization belonging to the spiritual world as much as possible, rather than to create a pure land for genius cultivators, or to create an ideal country where only good people can go.

For heaven and earth, all things are like straw dogs, which does not mean that the way of heaven is cruel and ruthless, but that before the way of heaven, all beings are equal. Therefore, when a disaster comes, geniuses and kind people are treated equally, and are not more advanced or more worthy of saving than others.

"Shang, this is the first batch that has all passed the selection."

Li Qingran walked in with a group of people. Li An took a look. There were a total of 20 people in this group, but 11 of them were mortals with no cultivation, and there were three spirit beasts. Only six were cultivators, and they were all middle-level cultivators, and only one was a Nascent Soul!

After practicing for many years, he suddenly realized at this moment that there were not so many high-end cultivators in this world, and Nascent Souls were already a minority.

The higher he practiced, the more he felt that there were many gods in this world, and the Refined Void was worse than a dog... It was just because the level was high.

Everyone's circle was surrounded by people who were almost the same as himself, but this did not mean that his circle was the whole world!

"Send them all away——"

Li An waved his hand, and this group of people were suddenly surprised.

"This elder, I, I have a request!"

At this time, a woman suddenly raised her hand, and she said nervously: "I have a relative, I want to take him with me, you have to meet my request, otherwise I won't leave--"

She looked determined, as if she had some kind of privilege after being selected, and it was Dao Zong who was begging her.

Li An laughed angrily on the spot, waved his hand, "Let her leave--change someone else!"

The woman collapsed on the spot, shouting: "Why, this quota belongs to me, why do you take it away from me? No... No, I will go by myself, I won't take anyone with me..."

After the personnel were replaced, Li Qingran arranged the Dao Zong spaceship and prepared to set off.

"Why, why were these ants selected? We have higher cultivation, why didn't you choose us? We don't accept it!"

But watching the spaceship take off, several major repairmen in the city suddenly took off and blocked the way of the big ship. They are all cultivators at the level of Lianxu and Hedao. As the first batch of candidates, Dao Zong's Dao dice did not select them, which means that they will lose their qualifications in the future. They are very angry at this moment.

"If you want to save, save all of them, not just some of them!"

"We are all human beings, why don't you save us? We want to get on the boat too!"

"If we don't save together, then die together!"

"You can choose whoever you want? Isn't this a shady deal? The spirit world is ruined by you like this. What qualifications do you have to choose people? We will never stop until we have an explanation!"

Suddenly, the city was crowded with people. The first batch of people who were not selected were roaring and fighting forward.

In the face of life and death, the evil of human nature is revealed.

Why save him and not me? !

Why can't I live?

Li An understands this very well. To some extent, everyone's anger is just.

Facing the righteous anger, he looked calm and waved his hand:

"Kill!"

As he said this, Daoyin City directly activated the formation, and the Dao Sect's immortal-level formation flashed like a knife.

All the troublemakers were shocked. So many of them stood up, thinking that the law would not punish the masses and put great pressure on Dao Sect, but now Li An dared to use the butcher knife on so many people?

"No..."

"Spare my life!"

"Are you Dao Sect going to be butchers... Don't kill me!"

Everyone wailed, but there was no suspense. All the troublemakers were killed. For a while, the bodies were everywhere!

Total destruction!

The first batch of 30,000 candidates were all dead at this moment.

The other candidates were also shocked, but everyone just looked at each other, no one said anything, and the whole city was silent.

After all, the others had not been screened yet and still had a chance. There was no need to stand up and seek death.

This was also Li An's idea - he had anticipated from the beginning that those who were not selected would definitely cause trouble, and the situation would be difficult to control, so he specifically asked Daoyin City to divide the screening objects into batches.

The overall strength of each batch of cultivators would not be too strong. In this way, if they collectively cause trouble, they would be collectively slaughtered, and the people in other batches would only watch the fire from the other side of the river and watch the troublemakers being slaughtered because they still had hope and opportunities.

In this way, Dao Zong could control the situation.

Otherwise, the people of the world would rise up and attack, and Dao Zong itself would be in danger!

Facing the masses, if you want to rule, you must divide them and make them a mess. You can't let them become a united organization and collective, otherwise it will bring disaster to yourself.

"There are too many troublemakers. Only 10,000 people will be selected in each subsequent batch. If there are more troublemakers, the number of people will be halved again!"

Li An announced his will to the outside world. Under his guidance, the waiting screeners immediately criticized those troublemakers.

"Damn, these people are too selfish, causing our interests to be damaged!"

"What are you doing, damn it!"

"If you can't be elected, just accept your fate! You have to do this..."

Attack and abuse each other.

This situation made Li An very satisfied. If the bottom fights the bottom, their pressure will be much less.

Li An's series of measures worked quickly. The Daoyin City where he was located was in order, but some other areas of Dao Sect were not so lucky. Because the leaders were soft-hearted or not good enough, the situation was out of control for a time, forcing the Taoist Supreme Immortals to come in person to stabilize it.

Later, Ku Yuanzi and others had no choice but to implement Li An's approach in Daoyin City.

"Li An's skills are really amazing..."

"I don't know where he learned these skills to control people... We are suffering from practicing, and we are not as familiar with this skill as him."

"Although it works, this skill is too vicious and can only be used in emergencies. If we still use this set to control the world in peacetime, the people will become weak, ignorant, and conservative, which is not appropriate."

Many of the Taoist's top leaders have refreshed their understanding of Li An.

"Master, he didn't accept it?"

Tai Qingzi asked Ku Yuanzi and sighed: "When you said that you would hand over the future of Dao Sect to him, I was a little hesitant. Now I think that Li An may be the one who really adapts to this era..."

He admired Ku Yuanzi more and more. Ku Yuanzi was indeed mature and steady. His vision and courage were far better than his.

Although Ku Yuanzi had blocked his plan in many ways at the beginning, once he saw it, he would do it without hesitation, and he was more determined than him!

Kuyuanzi said, "He has the ability, but unfortunately, he is too selfish..." Taiqingzi smiled, "Because of selfishness, he can do so well... A person who is both selfish and unselfish may be what we really want." "Will Li An become less selfish one day? Betting on human nature?" ... Li An asked Li Qingran to take people to be responsible for screening, while he took the opportunity to collect the many bodies that were killed and secretly refined them with the method of foreign land. Since everyone is dead, let them make some contributions to themselves. At the same time, he is also actively looking for people from foreign lands! In his opinion, now that there is a gap in the world, foreign lands will definitely send spies. Sure enough, not long after, outside Daoyin City, they monitored several strange creatures hiding in the dark. Li An personally took action to kill them and refined one of the strange creatures. "Gong's alien slaves!" Li An's heart moved. He handed the affairs of Daoyin City to Li Qingran, and then left quietly. Soon, he arrived at the edge of Daozhou. In a remote forest with swirling fog, he took out a jade talisman.

It was given to him by Gong Shanqing, a descendant of the Gong family.

At this moment, Li An activated it directly.

Then, he hid in another forest. He had to make sure that the person coming was Gong Shanqing himself before he could show up, otherwise it might mean danger.

Soon after, a figure appeared from the void. It was Gong Shanqing. He entered the forest where Li An was just now, looking for and waiting for a long time. Gradually, impatience appeared on his face, and then he cursed and prepared to leave.

At this time, Li An showed up to meet him.

"You made me wait for so long, what have you been doing!"

Gong Shanqing said impatiently.

Li An said: "Your Excellency, Daozhou is under too strict supervision by Dao Sect, so you need to be careful. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long... By the way, I found the news about Giant Tomb Island!" Gong Shanqing was shocked when he heard it, and looked around hurriedly, then he cast an immortal-level magic weapon to block the surrounding space, making it impossible for people to hear the sound here, and then asked: "Where is it?" Li An observed that Gong Shanqing's current cultivation level was actually a strange immortal, but Li An was still confident that he could kill him. After all, he had several immortal magic weapons from Dao Sect, and his own strange cultivation level reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage. "The specific location is still uncertain, but it should be in the Seven Flow Sea Area in the South China Sea!" The Seven Flow Sea Area is indeed the location of Giant Tomb Island, and it is named because there are seven sea currents that intersect with each other. "The Seven Flow Sea Area is still too big..." Gong Shanqing frowned. This information is useful, but not very useful. "My Lord, give me some more time. I have already infiltrated Dao Sect and have come into contact with a lot of top-secret information..."

Li An said: "Before you all come, I will definitely get accurate information!"

Gong Shanqing was quite surprised, "You have infiltrated Dao Sect?"

"Very good, very good!"

He patted Li An on the shoulder and said, "There is another important thing for you to do."

After that, he took out a set of formation flags and handed them to Li An, "You should find a way to insert this set of formation flags into the gate of Dao Sect. In this way, when we come, Dao Sect will be our Gong family's territory."

"As long as you can do it well, it will be a great achievement. After my clan comes, I will give you an identity and let you become a real member of the Gong family!"

Li An took a glance and found that this formation flag was similar to the one Yi Lingwei gave him.

It seems that the major foreign forces in Zixiaozhou are still determined to obtain the territory of Dao Sect.

"Gu understands!"

Li An immediately bowed and said, "Then I will leave first?"

"Wait, there is one more thing! You have to find a way to contact the core of the high-level, and find out where those cross-border ships of Dao Sect will go after leaving the spiritual world... This is very important. If you can find it out, it will also be a great achievement!"

Li An's heart moved. In fact, he had wanted to find out the answer to this question a long time ago.

The spiritual world is destroyed. The cross-border ships can run rampant in the void and find the next pure land where they can survive, but where is the pure land?

He knew that in this world, there is not only one spiritual world. With the thirty-three heavens of the fairy world as the core, each world has many worlds called spiritual worlds. The ascenders from many worlds will enter the fairy world.

But when the weirdness comes, it is in vain to find another spiritual world.

When Li An was in a foreign land, he knew that the locations of many spiritual worlds were known to the eleven heavens, and they were not secrets at all. In this case, why should he care so much?

Did Dao Zong send people to a secret pure land that even foreign lands didn't know about?

He thought of the "Reviver" organization in the eleven days. It was said that these revivers created some pure lands that were not infected by weirdness... I don't know if it's true or not.

If the purpose of Dao Zong's people is to go to these secret pure lands, then at least it means that Dao Zong's top leaders have cooperated and contacted these people?

Li An didn't know. These things were too secret. There might be only one or two people in Dao Zong who knew about them.

However, he would know sooner or later. As the Supreme, it wouldn't be too difficult to get this information.

Li An left.

"This Gu Fan is quite useful..."

Gong Shanqing narrowed his eyes. If Li An could really do his usual things well, then he might as well take him in as his confidant.

After all, he was weak in Gong's family and still needed some capable people.

...

Dao Zong's selection of people was still in full swing.

According to Dao Zong's observation, according to the current gap in the spiritual world and the speed at which the strange energy is pouring in and affecting the world, Dao Zong has a window period of fifty years.

Fifty years later, the power of the world will be completely eroded and dissipated, and there will be no defense. At that time, the foreign land will surely come in large numbers, and the third great change of the world will come.

How many people can Dao Zong send away in fifty years?

I don't know.

…

Return to Daoyin City.

"Report to the Supreme, Miss Li Nianxue wants to see you."

Li Qingran reported.

Li An was immediately shocked. Why is he here again?

Could it be that something strange happened to Tan Qingxue again!

His heart sank. At that time, he didn't

Killing Tan Qingxue, firstly because Tan Qingxue's old memories have been cut off and she has lived a new life, and secondly... he still made a mistake of being a bit soft-hearted at that time.

"Let her in."

Li An opened his mouth, and Li Qingran went out and led Li Nianxue in, but to Li An's surprise, it was not just Li Nianxue who came in!

There was another woman...

The woman was dressed in white, graceful and elegant, and looked to be in her twenties. She was still young and beautiful, but her face had more charm of being experienced in the world. When she saw Li An, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"Lihua... meet the master!"

She knelt down directly!

Seeing this, Li An was also stunned.

This woman... was his first disciple, Lihua.

In order to break through the Jindan realm, Li An once designed to enter the beastmaster Jiang family of Xiling Yuanzhou in the Diyuan Realm. Lihua was his disciple at that time.

Although she was called a disciple, Li An was actually just using her. Li Hua's fate in Jiang's family was up and down, and later her dantian was even broken. When Li An left Jiang's family, he gave her a bottle of elixir to repair her dantian. Later, when they were in Tiansha Mountains, they met again. At that time, Li Hua had already become a disciple of Taiyi Sect and helped Li An once.

After the Emperor Yuan Realm became part of the new continent of the spiritual world, the two never met again. Later, Li An did look for her, but in the end, he found nothing.

"Li Hua..."

Thousands of years later, seeing an old friend again, Li An also felt mixed emotions in his heart. He hurried forward, helped her up, and said: "Two thousand years, where have you been?"

Li Hua said with tears in her eyes: "Master, not long after the Emperor Yuan Realm flew into the spiritual world, I was accepted as a disciple by Senior Tan Qingxue and practiced in Daozhou. Until now, I have come to see Master and ask Master to atone for my sins!"

Tan Qingxue?

Li An was a little surprised and looked at Li Nianxue.

Li Nianxue bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, my mother has transformed and reborn. She has forgotten everything in the past. Before she cut off everything, she left a letter to Nianxue, telling her about Senior Lihua. She said that she accepted Senior Lihua because she died in Xuangui Peak at that time. She wanted to leave a successor for her. Now she has decided to cut off everything. Senior Lihua should come to recognize the Supreme."

Li An was in a trance.

After entering the Spiritual World Dao Sect, he was actually in a very bad situation and was imprisoned in Xuangui Peak.

After faking his death and escaping, in the eyes of Tan Qingxue and others, he no longer existed in this world.

He didn't expect that Tan Qingxue still had this heart and helped him take in Lihua...

Until today.

He observed that Lihua was already a Mahayana cultivator and had obviously taken immortal substances.

"Thank you, thank you--"

Li An thanked again and again. Even though he was a hard-hearted person, now that the world had changed so much, it was always comforting to meet one or two old friends.

"Miss Lihua is not from the Dao Sect, so she can participate in the selection. Moreover, she does not have many immortal substances in her body, so she should be able to kill them all..."

Li Nianxue spoke.

Li An nodded, "Thank you, Miss Li!"

"Congratulations on the reunion of Master and Disciple, Nianxue will take her leave--"

Li Nianxue left immediately.

After she left, Li An asked Lihua about many things in detail. He learned that Tan Qingxue had always taken good care of Lihua over the years, and that there was no shortage of skills and resources. He couldn't help but feel quite emotional.

In a sense, he owed Tan Qingxue a favor.

However, he didn't take this favor too seriously.

He asked Lihua to practice in seclusion, cut off her own cultivation, as well as immortal materials, etc., and when the time was right, he would arrange for someone to select Lihua and send her away.

As the Supreme, he could still do this kind of abuse of power for personal gain.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed.

In the past twenty years, Lihua's cultivation had retreated to the stage of transformation, similar to An Li at the beginning, so Li An arranged for her to board the ship.

At the time of parting, Lihua was very reluctant.

The immortal way was ruthless, Li An was her guide, and Li An had helped her rebuild her Dantian. After entering the spirit world, Tan Qingxue accepted her as a disciple because of Li An, so in her heart, she really regarded Li An as the closest and most trusted person.

"You go first, and the master will follow in the future."

Li An waved his hand.

The big ship set off.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was another twenty years later.

Forty years, Dao Zong has been selecting suitable people and sending them away from the spirit world.

"The third great change is imminent. I, Dao Zong, have tried my best..."

On this day, the top leaders of Dao Zong finally issued the Dao Zong order to stop screening the world. Next, Dao Zong will make the final evacuation.

When the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

After all, there are too many creatures in the spiritual world. Dao Zong has tried its best for forty years, but the number of people it can save is still a drop in the bucket.

Many people rushed in, eager to break through the gate of Dao Zong.

Li An just shook his head and sighed. He gave advice to the top leaders. At this time, in order to ensure the safety and smooth withdrawal of Dao Zong, they should deceive the world.

For example, they can promote that Dao Zong has used the world for a few years to build a large ship, and more people can be transported later, or that the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is being repaired, and they don't have to leave the spiritual world if they survive, and the good days are all behind.

As long as these stupid people believe it, Dao Zong should run away quickly.

The truth must be told.

What can I do!

When the public sentiment was surging and Dao Sect was in a state of panic, the headmaster Su Yebai, Tai Qingzi and others were walking in the world, telling the world that there was no chance to escape, and they would not leave. Next, they would do their best to fight against the weird.

And they organized a counterattack against the weird creatures that day.

This made the world speechless.

After all, the high-level leaders and the headmaster of Dao Sect would not leave and were willing to die. What else can the world say?

…

And in the main sect of Dao Sect.

The last group of people were boarding the ship.

Dao Sect actually had enough ability to retreat unscathed.

They had noticed the intentions and potential dangers of the weird earlier, so if it was earlier, not only the core figures, but even the chores could be evacuated from the spirit world.

But Dao Sect did not do this. Until now, the high-level leaders of major forces such as Brahma Sect, Five Elements Sect, and Sun and Moon Sect have all disappeared, but Dao Sect is still in the world.

In Dao Sect, only a group of people were chosen to leave.

Led by Xiang Yuntian, Gu Canye and others, the rest were Mesozoic or Cenozoic, totaling thousands of people.

Dao Zong, from top to bottom, saw off this batch of seeds.

"Our Dao Zong will not let down the common people..."

Someone whispered and shed tears.

"If we hadn't sent away so many insignificant low-level cultivators and mortals, we should all be able to leave... But it doesn't matter anymore."

"Die with Dao Zong, and this life will not be in vain!"

Only a thousand people left, and tens of thousands of cultivators saw them off, but among those who stayed, no one complained.

"Brother Lu, the journey to the heavens is difficult. We will die in battle and be freed early. You will have to bear the suffering in the future--"

"Brother Long, don't cry. The men of Tianhuo Peak only die in battle and bleed, not cry. Get out! Get on the boat, get on the boat for me!"

"Sister, forget me after you leave... I have failed you in my life!"

"Good disciple, pour a few more bowls of wine in front of Master's grave when you come back. If you can't find the grave, where there is a green pine tree, that is where my soul is!"

...

The departing ones were in tears, and the farewell ones were full of emotion.

"Let's go, old turtle, get on the boat."

Xiang Yuntian spoke.

Li An, Xiang Yuntian, Gu Canye, An Li, and Li An's descendant Li Qingran all got the qualifications to get on the boat and leave the spirit world to the mysterious pure land. Until now, Li An still didn't know where he was going. He asked, but the result made him speechless. Even Ku Yuanzi didn't know where the end of the cross-border ship was.

Before reaching the Pure Land, no one knew where the destination was, so that safety could be guaranteed.

Li Nianxue said goodbye to her mother, and Tan Qingxue also boarded the ship. She stood in the crowd, watching the slowly rising ship, and couldn't stop crying for a while.

The big ship was about to fly away. The lucky ones on the ship looked at the old people who said goodbye in the mountains, as well as the old mountains and rivers, and they all cried bitterly.

Relatives parted, lovers were separated alive... It was obvious that this separation was life and death, and there would be no day to meet again.

Those who left had to bear the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Dao Sect in the future, and those who stayed had already decided to fight to the death with the foreign land.

The towering Tiandao Peak, the magnificent and dangerous Xiajian Peak, the Tianhuo Peak illuminated by fire, the charred Tianlei Peak, the verdant Changqing Peak... The 108 peaks of Dao Sect are all the same as they used to be.

Kuyuanzi, Taiqingzi, Su Yebai and others will all stay and live and die with Dao Sect, while organizing the creatures of the world for the final counterattack.

All the high-level people in the world have left, leaving only them. They will serve as the backbone of the spirit world, and then be severely interrupted and destroyed.

"I won't leave, I want to stay!"

"I want to live and die with Dao Sect!"

"Fight against the weird!"

On the big ship, many young people spoke up and tried to get off the ship. At the time of parting, they still couldn't give up.

"All of you, get out of here and stay here!"

Xiang Yuntian yelled, releasing his cultivation to suppress everyone. His eyes were red, and he said, "Do you think I want to leave? Damn, stay alive, it's not necessarily easier than dying. Leaving this ship now is a coward!"

"Remember what Dao Zong looks like, remember what they look like. From now on, practice with all your might, and one day, kill back, kill back!!"

There were tears in his eyes.

"Supreme!"

But, at this moment, Li Qingran suddenly shouted, and Xiang Yuntian turned around suddenly, only to see Li An falling down.

As the person with the highest status among those who left, Li An also had the authority to open this ship. When Xiang Yuntian scolded everyone, he chose to get off the ship and leave.

While the big ship had not completely entered the void, he moved his magic power, and Li Nianxue, who was not far away, suddenly moved, and appeared on the big ship the next moment.

He used himself to exchange Li Nianxue for getting on the ship!

"Old turtle!!"

Xiang Yuntian saw this and opened his eyes wide, angrily saying: "Fuck you, fuck you..."

Li An fell to the ground, but just smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said: "The immortal way is evergreen, practice well, and we will meet again in the future!"

On the big ship, Li Nianxue looked at Li An in a trance, with mixed feelings in her heart for a while...

Before the people on the big ship could say more, they had already entered the set route, broke into the void, and disappeared——
