No matter how Li An tries to escape, the holy land of the restored immortals and the dead land of the strange forces seem to be unavoidable, and they will collide sooner or later.
As for the dead land, he and the one in the strange land have reached an agreement, and they need to help him kill the person who returned from the past time and space; as for the holy land, Li An is a well-known disciple of the Purple Fairy, and he will be found by the other party sooner or later.
If he keeps escaping deliberately, it is just a case of covering one's ears and stealing the bell. After all, where else is there a pure land in this world? He can't hide in the fairy vine cave for his whole life. Now he still has the immortal fruit, and he can break through slowly, but what about the future? Golden Immortal? Taiyi Golden Immortal? ...
The most precious resources are in the hands of the dead land or the holy land. If you want to move forward, you can only fight and fight, where can you escape!
For the long-term, you must make plans early.
Moreover, he always likes to take the initiative in his own hands.
Rather than letting the dead land or the holy land come to him, it is better for him to take the initiative to understand and approach, so that he can better formulate strategies and take every step carefully, so as not to panic when the other party forces him in front of him.
At present, Li Nianxue is at least trustworthy and can be used as a channel for him to approach the holy land.
"Great!"
Li Nianxue spoke in surprise. The long wait of a hundred years finally paid off, and she couldn't help but be very excited.
"But not now."
But Li An spoke again lightly, saying: "I need to practice here, or it may take thousands of years. After breaking through the barrier, I will go to the holy land. Is that okay?"
He learned from Li Nianxue's sea of consciousness that the holy land is actually more conducive to practice than the Immortal Vine Cave. After all, there is a vast world over there, and the power of heaven and earth is not comparable to this cave. However, what Li An wants is a word of stability.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, stability is of course stability.
As long as he stays in seclusion in this fairy vine cave for enough years, he will be able to cultivate to the heavenly immortal realm. When his cultivation reaches the peak, it will not be too late to consider going to the holy realm.
As for the danger of Xiang Yuntian and others in the holy realm, and the crisis of Fairy Zi... If Li An himself is in danger, he will not care.
Hearing this, Li Nianxue was stunned for a moment. Still, we have to wait?
And, we have to wait for thousands of years?
Even though she was determined, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed at this moment. Isn't the Supreme too cautious?
How cowardly is he...
She had heard Xiang Yuntian and others say something about Li An, and knew that this Supreme was a very stable person, but this was too stable.
"The Supreme..."
She wanted to say something with difficulty.
"Don't you want to wait?"
"Yes."
Li Nianxue still lowered her head and stopped talking.
"Okay, you stay here and guard the pass for me."
Li An felt at ease. In his eyes, Li Nianxue was just a tool. He didn't care. Li Nianxue would delay her cultivation and waste time for thousands of years.
It's not my time that was wasted!
He didn't plan to let Li Nianxue enter the Immortal Vine Cave. After all, there was a Blue Flame Divine Bird in the Immortal Vine Cave, which he didn't want to show to others.
Li An returned to the cave to practice, and Li Nianxue really stayed there.
"Shang Shang, this place is too close to Zixiao Mountain. I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous. Would it be safer to take the Immortal Vine Cave and flee to another place?"
Li Nianxue remembered something again and couldn't help reminding.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Li An's voice came out faintly.
Li Nianxue didn't say anything more. The wind blew, and she was the only one left in the field. The cave barrier was closed.
"Thousands of years..." She closed her eyes and seemed to be able to see the scene where the Dao Sect people in the Holy Land struggled to resist the enemy, but were finally killed one by one, and even the Purple Fairy was slaughtered... However, she took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her face was so calm. "Restore Dao Sect." She whispered, "Senior Li An is the true disciple of the Purple Fairy and the Supreme of Dao Sect. He is the only hope to restore Dao Sect and rise against the trend. As long as he is still here, even if all the others are dead... it doesn't matter." She has been looking for Li An, not only for the favor she owed in her heart, but also for... restoring Dao Sect. This is the dream of all the survivors of Dao Sect. It is also her dream. Kuyuanzi, Taiqingzi, Tianchenzi... and the thousands of Dao Sect colleagues who could have left when the spiritual world was in chaos, but chose not to leave, leaving behind like moths to the fire of destruction. Because I have seen it with my own eyes, and because I have felt that great martyrdom and sacrifice, my dreams will become noble.
She just stayed outside Qingfeng, like a dead branch or a stone, standing still.
…
And at this moment.
"Lord Zhuyue, can we really find that person?"
On Zixiao Mountain, in the main hall, Ziyun Immortal and others stood respectfully below.
At the top, there was a middle-aged man in a gray robe sitting upright. He wore a mask on his face and did not show his true face. His voice was flat: "As long as he is still in the eleventh day, he can be found."
"He has already triggered the fetus of creation, leaving traces in the creation. Now take his soul light and search the creation. As long as he is still in the reach of the eleventh day, he can be found."
The middle-aged man said: "In another thirty to fifty years, we can connect to the Tianxin Seal and search for the traces he left. In these thirty to fifty years, we must not alert the enemy."
Ziyun Immortal and others They all bowed and said, "Yes, sir—"
Walking out of the hall, Leng Rufeng followed the Purple Cloud Immortal and said, "Mountain Master, is that man Gu Fan, or is he a real creature who has returned from the past? Even the Death Land pays so much attention to him that Lord Zhuyue comes in person..."
The Purple Cloud Immortal said, "Don't ask too much! This matter has exceeded our expectations of the Purple Sky Mountain. We just need to cooperate with Lord Zhuyue..."
His face was extremely solemn, and he said, "Searching for fate... What a great spirit, what a great spirit!"
He was full of emotion.
Fate is mysterious, who can touch it? Even though he is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he can only see through the details and cannot even know the whole picture of fate, but the Death Land can search for fate!
Such means are really against the will of heaven.
…
At the same time
"Master, do we really not need to look for Li An?"
In a cave in Zixiaozhou, Shangguan Shengxian stood outside a rotten coffin and spoke in confusion.
"Of course not."
In the coffin, an old voice sounded, and a figure slowly sat up. The old man seemed to have been dead for many years, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Someone is coming from the dead."
"Search the fate, he will definitely be found..."
Shangguan Shengxian nodded and said, "So, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind, we just need to sit back and reap the benefits?"
"No."
The old man nodded: "If the dead finds him, there will be no place for the oriole... It's too difficult to snatch someone from the dead."
"Need We must find him and catch him before he dies!" Shangguan Shengxian said, "Master, do you have any good ideas?" The old man fumbled with the gray magic pot in his hand and said, "They want to search for the Heavenly Heart Seal, which will definitely lead to good fortune. At that time, all the causes and effects of Li An will be reflected one by one... You must find him and catch him before Zixiao Mountain!" As he spoke, the old man raised his withered hand, and the gray light shot out, which actually sank directly into Shangguan Shengxian's eyes. Her beautiful eyes immediately bleed, and Shangguan Shengxian knelt on the ground in pain, her body twitching, and she almost fainted. After a long time, she stood up again, with bloodshot eyes, but a happy face: "Thank you, Master!"
"I give you the Eyes of Fortune, which can observe the changes of fortune. When the changes occur, I can also take action once to stop the people from the dead land for you..."
"If this matter fails again, do you know what kind of punishment you will receive?"
Shangguan Shengxian, a ruthless man of his generation, shuddered inexplicably at this moment, bowed his head and said nothing.
...
Practicing in seclusion, silently absorbing the power of time, in the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years. Li An couldn't help but sigh that after leaving the fire of time of the bronze giant lamp, this practice is really slow!
His immortal cultivation is now in the realm of Xuanxian. If he wants to reach perfection and impact the immortal, it may take thousands of years. "According to Li Nianxue's memory, it is rumored that there is a so-called secret space-time realm in the Holy Land, which is composed of the ashes of lost eras and the embers of civilization. It contains a lot of essence of time and burns the wildfire of time that no one knows about... and the secret space-time realm is in the hands of those ancient forces."
Li An remembered something.
In addition to the Purple Fairy, there are many ancient forces in the Holy Land. They have also cultivated the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art. Moreover, the most important thing is that they control the entrance to the Secret Space-Time Realm. The Secret Space-Time Realm is an excellent place to practice the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art...
If this rumor is true, the Secret Space-Time Realm is probably not weaker than the God's Land of Zixiao Mountain, and may even be stronger.
After all, in Zixiao Mountain, it is only the Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Court Era that is burning, and the so-called Secret Space-Time Realm is a lot of lost eras...
It's a pity that the Holy Land is also very dangerous, otherwise Li An really wants to go there now.
He sighed. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Cultivation is also in line with this saying. If he had not experienced the speed of cultivation in the God's Land, he would not be so lamenting at this moment.
Cheer up and continue to cultivate!
He sensed that Li Nianxue was still outside the mountain and had never moved... This woman is really stubborn.
How stubborn!
Li An didn't care much. He immersed himself in cultivation.
Another twenty or thirty years passed.
"What's going on..."
One day, Li An fell out of the cultivation realm. He was inexplicably upset.
"I am already a mysterious immortal and a celestial immortal. I will never be disturbed by distracting thoughts like mortals. My heart is restless. There must be a reason for this disturbance!"
Li An was very cautious. He thought about it. There was no problem with his own cultivation. In this case, should this disturbance come from the outside world?
Could it be that something unfavorable to him was about to happen in the outside world, so he felt it?
It is recorded in the immortal classics that after reaching the realm of Taiyi Jinxian, one can see through the mysteries. If one encounters danger or disaster, his spiritual sense will alert him. Therefore, Taiyi Jinxian can avoid the three disasters and six disasters, and is the most difficult to die. Now the strange cultivation is only a celestial immortal, and the orthodox immortal is only a mysterious immortal. Could it be that he has already sensed it?
In any case, he must be on guard...
He was very cautious and left immediately.
"Wait for me here, I'll go out for a while."
Li An told Li Nianxue, and then his figure disappeared.
He disguised himself and sneaked into the nearby city to inquire about the news, and even managed to cultivate a disciple of Zixiao Mountain, but there was nothing special. At present, everything is normal in the direction of Zixiao Mountain, and there is nothing unusual in the entire Zixiao State.
"Could it be related to the dead land or the holy land?"
Li An has a very sensitive sense of smell. There were rumors before that Zixiao Mountain almost collapsed, which attracted the people of the dead land to take action.
Li Nianxue was also here, so it was normal for the Saint Realm to notice something.
But he was still confused and couldn't be sure.
"I shouldn't have been followed by anyone since I left Zixiao Mountain."
"Who is it, what disaster?"
Li An was really puzzled. This feeling of vaguely feeling something but not being able to find any clues made him very anxious and confused, and he didn't know what to do.
He tried to leave Zixiao State directly and escape thousands of miles away, but when he stopped and sensed it carefully, the feeling was still there!
"It has nothing to do with the region, it's like they've locked me? Even if I run far away, it's useless?"
Li An frowned, and his heart became more and more solemn. Who can do this?
"In any case, set up some suspicious formations first!"
Li An took a deep breath and took out the three puppets in his hand. One was Gong Shanxiu, one was Zhao Tong, and the other was a disciple of Zixiao Mountain that he had just trained.
The life breath of the three people was refined by him to be exactly the same as his.
He placed restrictions and made arrangements within the three people's souls, letting the three puppets go in different directions.
Then, he returned to Duanxia Mountain.
He thought about it and thought that if he did anything rashly, it would be counterproductive, so it would be better to wait and see.
"Nianxue, you can't practice outside the Immortal Vine Cave, please come in."
Li An set up several formations in the Immortal Vine Cave, and then called Li Nianxue into the Immortal Vine Cave. This was mainly to prevent her. If the danger that happened next had anything to do with her, Li An could directly take her as a hostage or kill her.
Li Nianxue was very excited when she heard this. The Supreme was willing to let her enter the Immortal Vine Cave, which showed that in his heart, he had finally recognized her.
When she entered the Immortal Vine Cave, Li An had already divided an area for her and said, "You practice here and don't worry about anything else."
Li An tricked her into it, and then directly activated the formation to isolate her from all perceptions of the outside world!
To prevent her from informing the outside world!
Li Nianxue was completely unaware and was still very happy, practicing in the cave.
Li An became more and more anxious, and that feeling continued all the time, and seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
"Something's wrong!"
Li An calmed down and thought carefully.
"If someone is really targeting me in secret, then the person who can do this must be extremely powerful, and may even have some unimaginable magical powers!"
"But he didn't find me directly, which means that he hasn't found my exact location yet?"
"This kind of person may have surpassed the realm of Taiyi. Could it be a Daluo Jinxian? What virtue and ability do I have to attract this level of existence?"
"If it is a Daluo Jinxian from the Holy Realm, or a similar existence, they should not dare to appear in Zixiaozhou, and also use this kind of magical power. After all, Daluo is aware of the heart of heaven. If the orthodox Daluo dares to use Such a spell would have been discovered by the same level existence in Weirdness long ago. "
"Moreover, if it was a Daluo from the Holy Realm, even if he couldn't find me directly, he could still lock Li Nianxue's location, so there was no need to drag it on until now!"
"So, if there is really someone targeting me in secret, then this person... should belong to the Weirdness side!"
"Moreover, in the Weirdness side, there must be a real strong person who can make me nowhere to hide..."
"If this is true, I'm afraid I can't hide in Eleven Days at all, unless I escape from Eleven Days..."
After careful analysis, Li An's mind gradually became clear.
"Running away is probably still a must!
"Nianxue, how long does it take to go to the Holy Realm from here?"
"Li An asked.
Li Nianxue said: "Your Majesty, there is no entrance to the Holy Land in Zixiaozhou. You need to go to Tiandouzhou. There is a secret formation leading to the Holy Land. It should take two days to get there from here. However, I have a teleportation talisman on me that can be moved in a moment!"
Li An: "Without further delay, let's go to the Holy Land immediately!"
He was ready to leave!
Although the Holy Land is also dangerous, it is not like Zixiaozhou.
It's already right in front of her.
Li Nianxue was even more surprised. She had been prepared to wait for a thousand years. Now it seems that Li An has changed his mind?
No, Senior Li An, this is a test for me!
He used thousands of years to test me, and my performance was recognized by him, so he was willing to follow me to the holy land.
Thinking of this, she suddenly understood. It must be so. No wonder Master Xiang always said that Senior Li was an old yin... an old yin or something. He lived up to his name!
"Let's go--"
Li An directly pulled her up and prepared to leave the cave, but when he arrived at the cave entrance, the feeling of spiritual self-alertness was almost boiling. He said: "Use the teleportation talisman--"
...
At this moment. "Found it - some traces he left in the world will be revealed!"
On Zixiao Mountain, a masked man stood on Zixiao Peak. In the sky of Zixiao Peak, a mirror-like void appeared in the void, and in that void, countless light spots were clearly visible at this moment...
"He left a lot of traces in the world. It is impossible to know his location directly. We have to send people to go one by one."
Zhuyue spoke lightly, and behind him, Ziyun Immortal, Leng Rufeng and others were waiting respectfully -
In the void, the light spots became more and more obvious, but at this moment, suddenly, a black demonic energy swept in from nowhere in the void, covering up many light spots.
"What's going on?"
"What... is this?"
Ziyun Immortal and others were all shocked.
Even Zhu Yue's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said: "There is a demon who reaches into the creation!"
"This kind of demonic power is rare in the world... But he can't hold it for long!"
After the voice fell, he formed seals with both hands, and the great power of the avenue surged with his hands, struggling with the demonic energy——
...
