Although the foundation of Daoshan was once broken, after the Purple Fairy restored the vein of creation, the immortal spirit condensed and the Dao rhyme grew. The buildings were quite different from other places. They were all built with stones. There were few palace walls with golden splendor like other famous mountains. Instead, they showed a primitive and simple style.
Li An could see that these buildings were more or less very similar to the former Dao Sect.
Especially the most important hall, which was no different from the Tiandao Hall on Tiandao Peak in the past, even the layout was the same.
The people of Dao Sect who fled here used this way to remember their hometown and not forget their mission?
Entering the hall, I saw that the top position was vacant, and two rows of elders sat on both sides.
The first person on the left hand was Xiang Yuntian!
After many years, he was already a middle-aged man, looking majestic and solemn. He was already a ruler, and his cultivation had already reached the realm of celestial immortals.
The cultivation speed of the real life-nourishing immortal art is extremely slow, but because Li An has the help of the Fire of Time, his orthodox immortal cultivation is not much behind Xiang Yuntian and others.
But in terms of combat power, Xiang Yuntian, Gu Canye and others are no longer Li An's opponents. Even if he only uses the power of the orthodox immortal level, Xiang Yuntian and others may find it difficult to get benefits from him. After all, his orthodox immortal cultivation has broken the legendary forbidden number!
Xiang Yuntian's immortal cultivation naturally allows him to maintain the appearance of a young man like Li An, but "appearance" needs to serve the status. Now their generation is the leader and elder of the Dao Sect, so they should look like elders.
Except Xiang Yuntian, the others are all acquaintances.
Gu Canye sat on the right, facing Xiang Yuntian. His cultivation was on par with Xiang Yuntian's, but he looked a little unkempt. His beard was messy and he hadn't shaved for many years. He was holding a grass root in his mouth. He looked at Li An and Li Nianxue casually.
Li Qingran, the direct descendant of Li An. Back then, Li An brought back two descendants from the Li family of the Evil Spirit Lake in Xinzhou, the spiritual world, and placed them as errand boys at the Changqing Peak of the Dao Sect. Later, he didn't pay much attention to them. Li Qingran was the descendant of one of the errand boys. After Li An became the Taoist Grand Master, he cultivated her carefully, and later she got the opportunity to leave the spiritual world.
Seeing her, Li An was quite emotional. In his previous life, the Li family was just a small Jindan family. Later, his descendants developed the Li family into a Yuanying force, but Li An destroyed the family with his own hands and re-established the Evil Lake Li family. Later, the Evil Lake Li family disappeared in the tide of the great changes in the world...
The road to immortality is long, and how many people can accompany him in the end? The fates that were once intertwined are just a short moment in the life span of thousands, tens of thousands of years, or even immortality.
The descendant of Tianhuo Peak, Fen Yuan, his grandfather once fought with Li An in the same generation, and his father died in the great changes in the world...
Leidang, the descendant of Tianlei Peak, is of the same generation as Fen Yuan, and his cultivation is also very strong. He just entered the immortal world and rose to prominence, which is very similar to his father's generation.
...
Unconsciously, Li An has seen the rise and fall of several generations.
Of course, there are also a few people that Li An has not seen.
Tan Qingxue, she cut herself with a knife, completely forgot the past, started a new life, and embarked on the journey to leave the spirit world, where is she now?
Lihua, Li An's eldest disciple in the Diyuan Realm, was taken in by Tan Qingxue after entering the spirit world. It was not until Tan Qingxue cut herself that Li Nianxue told Li An the truth and let her recognize Li An. Li An used his identity as the Taoist Grand Master to arrange for her to leave.
...
Even though Li An had a heart of stone, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he met his old friend again.
"Li Nianxue, we have already set the rules. People of the Dao Sect can cultivate the Life Casting Immortal Technique, but they must never devour others. Such behavior, although it is cultivating immortality, is no different from the devil! After you went to Zixiaozhou, you repeatedly disobeyed and let Chi Yilan swallow many geniuses of the Fire Phoenix Nest, causing such a huge killing disaster. Do you know what crime you should be punished for!" Xiang Yuntian stood up, his face full of majesty. "Disciple, I am willing to plead guilty! I will accept any punishment!"
Li Nianxue knelt down and said, "But I have never devoured anyone. All this is for Fairy Zi and Dao Sect. I have no selfish motives--"
Xiang Yuntian shook his head and said, "No matter what, it's wrong, it's wrong!"
"According to the Dao Sect's rules, you must go down the mountain of knives for your crime! From now on, you will go to the prison of the mountain of knives and reflect on your mistakes!"
Li Nianxue did not argue any more, bowed his head and said, "Disciple accepts the punishment!"
Then, Xiang Yuntian's eyes fell on Li An again, saying, "Chi Yilan, you are not from my Dao Sect. Now that you are here, are you willing to join my Dao Sect?"
Li An said, "Yes."
Xiang Yuntian nodded and said, "Okay, then you can pay your respects to the Supreme of my Dao Sect!"
He pointed to the empty seat above.
A trace of doubt appeared on Li An's face. Li Nianxue beside him had already explained softly: "The martyrs of our Dao Sect are no longer in the world, but the true teachings of Zi Xianzi and Li An Taishang are still here. All matters in the sect, big or small, must be decided by Li An Taishang. It's just that he is not in the mountain now, so the position is vacant to show respect."
Hearing this, Li An's heart suddenly twitched.
Dao Zong Taishang...
Hehe...
What's so great about these four words? Li An never took it seriously!
When he was in Dao Sect, he just used the identity of Taishang to pave the way for his own cultivation and gain benefits as much as possible. He never cared about the survival of Dao Sect.
Later, Kuyuanzi, Taiqingzi and others died. Before Taiqingzi died, he regarded him as the only hope and handed the Dao Sect Order to me, but Li An gave it to Leng Rufeng, selling the order for fame.
... I just didn't expect that in such a place, there were so many people who would leave such a chair for him. This was done only after all matters, big or small, had been reported.
Li An understood that this might not simply be because of how much they missed and respected him, nor because of how much contribution and status he had made in Dao Sect.
It was just because he was the only surviving member of the Dao Sect's high-level officials, and a disciple of Fairy Zi, so in a sense, he could be used as a symbol to unite the hearts of the people of Dao Sect and inspire the fighting spirit of the people of Dao Sect.
But he still felt a little ashamed.
Li An did not refuse. According to Xiang Yuntian's words, he bowed to the chair of Li An, the Supreme of Dao Sect, and bowed to the entrance ceremony.
"Okay, Chi Yilan, now that you are a disciple of my Dao Sect, you should abide by the rules of my Dao Sect--"
Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly, and then his face became very stern: "You practiced the life-nourishing immortal art, and killed many innocent people, which has violated the rules of my Dao Sect. Now that Taishang is not here, I will enforce the law for him. Are you convinced?!"
Looking at this former brother and old friend, Li An was inexplicably dazed. He actually found that Xiang Yuntian now, and Kuyuanzi and Taiqingzi back then, were inexplicably similar...
Those two stubborn old guys...
When he entered Dao Sect back then, the demon seed in his body was also destroyed!
Now, Xiang Yuntian wants to destroy his life seed... Is there really something that is constantly passed down and circulated over the years?
"I am convinced." Li An smiled slightly in his heart, his face calm.
"Okay, Fairy Zi once spread the life-nourishing immortality technique throughout the world, so there is nothing wrong with you practicing this skill, but now your life seed is formed by the life of others, so I will destroy your life seed!"
As soon as Xiang Yuntian finished speaking, he flicked his fingers, and a terrifying sword intent had already attacked Li An directly. Li An remained calm and let the sword intent rush into his dantian.
The sword intent swept wildly, and his dantian was almost shattered by the sword intent. The life seed seemed to be chopped off. A trace of blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of Li An's mouth, and his face turned pale.
——With his current cultivation, Xiang Yuntian's attack could not hurt his foundation at all, so he was willing to accept this disaster and enter Daoshan!
"Since you were bewitched by Li Nianxue, I will not take your life. I will punish you to guard the Dao Sect Stele Forest in the back mountain for a hundred years. When the guarding period is over, I will teach you the Dao Sect's related immortal methods."
Wave your hand to Xiang Yuntian, "Qingran, you take them."
Li Qingran had already stood up. She was graceful and looked much more mature than when she was with Li An. She said calmly: "Master Li, Chi Yilan, please follow me."
-Li Qingran's seniority is lower than Li Nianxue, so she is called Master.
The two followed Li Qingran out of the hall and went to the back mountain.
"Qingran, what happened? Where is the Hongbo Immortal? And... where is my mother?"
After leaving the hall, Li Nianxue asked.
Li Qingran sighed and said, "Master Li, do you know why Dao Sect has not sent anyone to catch you after you left the Holy Land for more than a hundred years? It's because they have no time to care about other things..."
"Eighty years ago, the Purple Fairy's condition worsened, and the traces of the fetus of good fortune appeared in other places in the Thirty-Three Heavens. Fairy Hongbo took the Purple Fairy away, and left a mountain protection formation and some magic weapons for Daoshan before leaving."
Hearing this, Li Nianxue was immediately surprised and said, "The fetus of good fortune appeared in other places? How is this possible!"
Outside the Holy Land, the Thirty-Three Heavens have long been filled with weirdness, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is incomplete and hidden. Even if the Daluo Jinxian goes to the outside world, it is difficult to trigger the fetus of good fortune again. Generally speaking, only those who have truly cultivated the Nurturing Life and Casting Immortal Technique to some success can achieve this step.
It is for this reason that Li An was locked after the fetus of good fortune appeared in Zixiaozhou.
However, how could there be a fetus of good fortune appear in other places in the Thirty-Three Heavens? Could it be that there are other people in this world who have achieved the same success as Li An by practicing the Nurturing Life and Immortal Art?
"I don't know. I just heard that the fetuses of good fortune in other places are even more volatile, and the power emitted by the Nurturing Life and Immortal Art is even stronger, forcing Fairy Hongbo to personally take action..."
Li Qingran shook his head.
Li Nianxue subconsciously glanced at Li An, and Li An was also silent and thinking.
Fairy Zi once told him clearly that Immortal Changqing and his disciples were all dead, leaving only Fairy Zi, and Fairy Zi only accepted Li An as her disciple.
Li An must have practiced the Nurturing Life and Immortal Art for the longest time.
Even if Fairy Zi accepted other people after returning to the Thirty-third Heaven, the progress of other people's practice must not be as good as Li An's.
The Nurturing Life and Immortal Art does not look at aptitude, but only at the length of time you practice. Even if you are a genius, it is impossible for you to become stronger than Li An!
"No, there are indeed people who are stronger than me..."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li An's mind...
"Fairy Purple herself!"
He was moved. Perhaps, the fetuses of good fortune that appeared in other places were not caused by others, but Fairy Purple herself?
However, the fetuses of good fortune in other places appeared at a close time to the fetus of good fortune caused by Li An's enlightenment. At that time, Fairy Purple had already had an accident, and Fairy Hongbo was also by her side. How could she run to other places in the Thirty-Three Heavens to take action?
Unless...
She left a backup plan in advance?
Moreover, this time was too coincidental. It appeared with Li An's enlightenment, which made Li An have a lot of imagination...
Perhaps, Master Fairy Purple had already made a backup plan when she returned to the Thirty-Three Heavens, just to cover for Li An?
When Li An became an immortal, the other fetuses of good fortune she left behind would also appear, thereby distracting others and making Li An safer?
This is very likely. After all, from now on, the so-called Red Wave Fairy must have a problem.
She has been attracted by the Purple Fairy's back-up plan.
Otherwise, when Li An was in Zixiaozhou, he might not just face Li Nianxue!
If he faced the Red Wave Fairy directly, Li An might really be in danger.
"Master..."
Guessing that the Purple Fairy might have done so much for him, Li An couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Of course, this is just a guess, not necessarily the truth, but at least logically, there is no problem at present.
"Red Wave Fairy is very dangerous, and we must be cautious at every step..."
Li An became more cautious. When the Purple Fairy returned to the Thirty-three Heavens and the Holy Land, she must have discovered some incredible truth, so she left so many back-ups, and even spread the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art all over the world. It's a pity that her plan was only halfway through, and she might have been suppressed by the enemy...
If it weren't for the weirdness now, Li An couldn't hide either, and he really had the urge to turn around and leave.
"There is no way out, no matter where you go..."
Li An felt like he was at the end of his rope. Could it be that, as Shangguan Shengxian said, some great disasters were already approaching him, and there was no way to avoid them?
Perhaps, from the day he got the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art, many things were already destined, and the trajectory was set.
Destiny!
"After Fairy Hongbo left, Daoshan became more and more difficult in the Holy Land. For the sake of the 20 places, the major forces suppressed it openly and secretly. Shuangshou Mountain was constantly looking for trouble, and once approached the mountain gate... Many people who followed Fairy Zi in the past have already fled. In addition, many people from Qingyu Peak and Yizhu Peak have defected. Even in Daoshan, there are traitors..."
Li Qingran continued to speak, but when she talked about the traitor, she stopped abruptly.
But Li Nianxue was stunned. She naturally understood what Li Qingran meant. Could it be that Tan Qingxue... defected from Dao Sect?
"How could she be like this?"
A flash of pain flashed across Li Nianxue's eyes.
She can be said to be an absolute believer of Dao Sect. For the sake of Dao Sect's revival, she can even disregard her own life and death, but her relatives have become traitors to Dao Sect... You can imagine how much of a blow it is to her.
"Master Li, don't think too much. In fact, since Master Tan cut off the past, she seems to have not cared about Dao Sect and everything in this world. She just wants to live forever..."
Li Qingran couldn't help but sigh and said, "Dao Sect is in danger and may even lose all its quotas. It's normal for her to leave since she can't see any hope."
"Even Master Xiang said that people coming and going are normal, but just be yourself and have no regrets."
Li Nianxue nodded, quietly clenched her fists, and then asked, "Qingran, why do you say that my Dao Sect will lose all its quotas?"
Li An was also quite concerned.
He had long known from Li Nianxue's memory that there was a place called "Time and Space Secret Realm" in the Holy Land. This place contained many lost time and space and eras, and a large amount of era dust and years ashes were scattered in it, which was extremely beneficial for practicing the Life-Nourishing Immortal Forging Technique.
If all the rumors are true, the Time and Space Secret Realm is likely to be no worse than the God's Land where the Fire of Time is burning!
It is also a great blessing for Li An.
This is also an important reason why he is willing to come here.
But this secret realm is very mysterious. It is said that it will only be opened once every three thousand years, and it can last for about eight hundred years at a time. However, the entrance to this secret realm has always been controlled by the two major heavenly palaces of Biluo Palace and Baoding Palace. Other sources and famous mountains can only get a small number of places to enter.
After returning to the Holy Land, Fairy Zi also spoke out about this matter. After all, she has great
With a good background and good cultivation, the two heavenly palaces also gave enough face and treated Daoshan as one with other famous mountains, giving Daoshan 20 places.
Li Qingran sighed and said, "Those 20 places became the biggest source of trouble... What kind of treasure is the Secret Realm of Space and Time? If one more cultivator can enter it, there may be one more top immortal. Therefore, with the Purple Fairy in trouble, the Red Wave Fairy leaving and not returning, and the Secret Realm of Space and Time opening soon, other forces naturally became greedy."
"The more respectable ones use other resources to exchange and promise huge profits. The more naked ones, such as Shuangshou Mountain, have already forced several times, and even resorted to unscrupulous means to cut off the Purple Fairy's jade bones... They all want Daozong to give them the places."
"Isn't the Purple Fairy's jade bones in the Biluo Palace... How could it be in trouble?" Li Nianxue gritted her teeth.
Li Qingran explained one by one. It turned out that when the Purple Fairy returned, she had made a deal with the Biluo Palace. She used one of her bones to extend the life of an old senior in the Biluo Palace in exchange for the Biluo Palace's Daluo magic weapon "Biluo Heavenly Book", which was used to repair the fortune veins of Qingzhuo Mountain and achieve today's Daoshan.
Later, the Purple Fairy had an accident, and the jade bone had been stored in the Biluo Palace until many years ago, when the Red Wave Fairy took the Purple Fairy away. The Biluo Palace sent the jade bone back. It was just handed over to the hands of the Dao Sect, but it was secretly snatched away.
Later, Shuangshou Mountain claimed that they had recovered the jade bone for Daoshan, but they just wanted Daozong to exchange it with the most precious 20 places...
The Purple Fairy's bones must not be left outside for a long time, but once those places are used to exchange, Daoshan's future may be bleak. The Purple Fairy took great efforts to get it, how could she bear to lose it?
Daozong has been running for this matter for a long time. "Deserve to be killed, deserve to be killed!"
Li Nianxue said fiercely: "The Shuangshou Mountain bandit cried 'Catch the thief' and deliberately threatened us with this... he really deserves to be killed!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed through Li An's mind. Shuangshou Mountain... just based on this behavior, he has already been killed.
"Chi Yilan, this place is the important place of our Dao Sect - the Stele Forest. You are responsible for guarding this place. You must clean it diligently and not let the stele forest be covered with dust. In addition, you cannot leave without the permission of the sect. Do you understand?"
While speaking, Li Qingran had led them to a stele forest. They saw a dense mass of stone tablets standing in front of them. On the stone tablets, the names and life stories of the Dao Sect's former martyrs were engraved...
Kuyuanzi, the Taoist Taishang, was once the Taoist sect's headmaster. He stayed in the spirit world during the chaos in the spirit world and died.
Taiqingzi, the Taoist Taishang, was once the Taoist sect's headmaster. He stayed in the spirit world during the chaos in the spirit world and died.
Tianchenzi, died in the misty sea.
...
The living erect a monument for the dead.
Li An walked into it calmly, and Li Nianxue said: "You don't have to worry, the knife mountain where I am is not far from here."
Li An understood that she was telling Li An that the control and restrictions in her mind would not be affected.
After all, Li An planted a demon seed in her mind, but this demon seed has a certain limit on the distance. If the distance is too far, Li An will not be able to control it.
Just like a puppet, if the distance is too far, his puppet may become intelligent and betray the master. This time, Li An used Zhao Tong and other three puppets to hide himself. Before setting off, they all placed restrictions in their minds in advance, and they would self-destruct after arriving at the designated location!
"Master Li, let's go, I'll take you to the knife mountain."
Li Qingran left with Li Nianxue.
...
