Half a day later.
Gu Xuening brought Li An to the border between Weird Domain and Eleven Heavens.
This is an endless wasteland, and in front of it is a majestic Great Wall. I don't know where the border is. The majestic pass stands tall, blocking the entire Weird Domain.
Since the battle that year, Changqing Immortal Venerable created the New Heavenly Court, but he has never appeared again. There are rumors in the world that he is melting the white mist of immortality and has no time to care about worldly affairs.
Heavenly Court is headed by the Lord of Hongbo Court, and all matters are decided by a single word.
But it is precisely because of this that Heavenly Court has actually been in a relatively passive state in the confrontation with Weird Domain.
After all, although the New Heavenly Court was established, its overall strength is far inferior to that of Weird Domain!
For countless years since Weirdness came to the world, too many powerful and strange forces have been born, and the number of famous mountains, holy places, and heavenly palaces is far more than that of the New Heavenly Court.
Although the struggle between the two sides actually depends on the battle between Yunluo Immortal Venerable and Changqing Immortal Venerable, so before the two decide the winner, the New Heavenly Court will naturally not be in real danger of extinction, but in conventional wars, the New Heavenly Court has always been at a disadvantage, so this Great Wall was built to guard against the enemy.
Even, the Holy Lords of the major forces in the Heavenly Court need to come in person to take charge!
"Luo Changying of the Holy Land of Quarrying is a tough character. In this battle, Qingyuan Mountain may be destroyed."
Along the way, Gu Xue Ning has already felt the battle in the direction of Qingyuan Mountain.
Luo Changying...
Hearing this name, Li An couldn't help but be in a trance. Of course, he remembered this woman. In the Secret Realm of Space and Time, this person had set up a trap with Ye Tiancan on the Ghost Flame Star, waiting for Li An, and was killed by Li An together.
She was a six-color Xuanxian at the beginning, and her cultivation was so strong that it was rare in the Holy Realm.
Now she has grown to the level of a Holy Lord, and she has the potential to become a Daluo in this life.
I wonder how many old friends I will meet on this journey to the Heavenly Palace?
"How do we get there?"
Li An said.
"From Huangmang Mountain."
Gu Xue Ning said: "Although there is a Great Wall blocking the two regions, there are also some places where both sides can have exchanges, and even a gray market has been formed... However, Golden Immortals and above cannot pass through and will be discovered."
"Then Master, you..."
Gu Xue Ning smiled slightly and said: "I am about to fall into the Golden Immortal realm."
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Li An pretended to be surprised, and his heart was also shuddered. This Gu Xue Ning is also a ruthless person.
"Let's go."
Soon after, they entered a mountain forest. This mountain forest was not blocked by the Great Wall. Perhaps as Gu Xue Ning said, although the two sides are hostile, they also need some windows for communication.
So they acquiesced to the existence of these areas. Anyway, these areas do not allow strong people and armies to pass through.
Gu Xue Ning's realm really fell to that of a celestial being. The two sneaked into a market at the foot of Huangmang Mountain, and then followed the caravan. On the second day, they had already entered the Eleventh Heaven Realm.
Between heaven and earth, the air mixed with rich spiritual energy and thin fairy energy blew in his face. After taking a deep breath, Li An felt as if he was in another world.
Gu Xue Ning took Li An around and changed the route repeatedly. Obviously, she was afraid of being followed. She was also very careful, but she didn't know that she had actually been marked by the Red Wave Fairy.
Along the way, Li An was also trying to sense the mark on his body, but the mysterious magic power did not move at all, as if it did not exist.
He was worried.
Half a year later, Gu Xue Ning and he had already entered the Eleventh Heaven Blessed Land and came to Taiye Prefecture.
"Do you know Zixiao Mountain?"
Gu Xue Ning asked.
Li An shook his head. "Zixiao Mountain is just a famous mountain in the eleventh heaven. Its power level should be comparable to Qingyuan Mountain, but it is quite famous because it has become one of the holy places of the heaven."
Gu Xue Ning smiled, "Four thousand years ago, the strange immortals ruled the world. The last group of people in the immortals created the so-called holy land. They fled everywhere and were chased to a dead end, but until the battle of Taiji Mountain... That battle was not actually the first battle of the new heaven."
"This is it."
"At that time, the Blood Sword Demon Lord Li An, with a group of geniuses in the holy land, slaughtered the Zixiao Mountain, which originally belonged to the strange forces, and announced their return... He was really high-spirited. When the Blood Sword Demon Lord destroyed Zixiao Mountain, he was only a celestial immortal."
Her master's school declined because of Li An's battle that year, but when she mentioned Li An at this moment, she had a look of awe in her beautiful eyes.
"After the establishment of the new heaven, this place was regarded as a holy place. Many great figures in the heaven often come here to discuss the Dao..."
Li An said: "In that case, Taiye Prefecture is so close to Zixiao Prefecture, aren't we in danger?"
"No, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
Gu Xue Ning smiled slightly and said, "Follow me."
She took Li An into a valley in Taiye Prefecture. This mountain seemed to have nothing special, and the valley was also very ordinary, but she dug a deep tunnel from the valley. After going a thousand meters deep, a strong fairy air suddenly hit her face!
"This used to be a strange source, which was a supreme blessed land for strange practitioners. Unfortunately, after the reversal of life and death and the division of the strange world into two, the strange source here also disappeared. Fortunately, when my master left for eleven days, he did some covering up, so this place was not discovered and preserved."
Gu Xue Ning sighed and said, "We must hide our tracks within eleven days. As strange practitioners, we have to use the fairy energy here to cover ourselves, otherwise it will be easily discovered if the cultivation qi moves."
"From now on, you and I will practice here."
She opened up an underground palace and laid down some formation flags, saying, "I need to retreat for many years. These strange crystals should be enough for you to practice... You are here to protect me."
Li An took the storage bag and glanced at it. The strange crystals piled up into a mountain. Gu Xue Ning had prepared for today for many years, so the supplies were naturally sufficient.
"Disciple obeys!"
Li An naturally agreed. He needed a place to practice the orthodox immortal way, and this place was perfect.
Moreover, he also wanted to study what the Fairy Hongbo did to him and Gu Xue Ning.
He lived in a stone room slightly outside. After Gu Xue Ning went into seclusion, Li An also gained considerable freedom. On the one hand, he took out the strange crystals and continued to enhance his strange cultivation through the strange crystals. On the other hand, he also began to absorb the immortal energy here.
"Hmm?"
When he began to absorb the immortal energy to practice, he suddenly realized that there were some mysterious gray factors on his body, heading towards the black and white millstone in his body.
It was as if it was going to penetrate into it!
His black and white millstone was formed by relying on the origin of white mist and balancing life and death. These gray factors merged with the immortal energy and entered the millstone, but were crushed by the rotating millstone and disappeared.
"Is this... targeting the origin of white mist?"
Li An was surprised.
After being infected with this gray factor, as long as the origin of white mist is affected during cultivation, the gray factor will inevitably penetrate into the origin of white mist!
No wonder, no matter how he sensed it before, there was no reaction.
"Even Fairy Hongbo can't have such means... The mastermind behind the scenes is Immortal Lord Changqing!"
Li An was shocked.
No wonder, no wonder Fairy Hongbo didn't kill Gu Xue Ning to take the white mist of immortality when she had the chance, because... Immortal Lord Changqing had other arrangements.
He would definitely not sit and watch others snatch the opportunity of immortality, but he can sit still now... Unless, he is sure that he can replace others after they absorb the white mist of immortality?
Li An slowly led the immortal energy into his body, making the life and death mill turn very slowly, carefully observing the gray factor, and after a long time, he came to an astonishing conclusion.
"This gray fog is made of the white fog origin combined with the strange air!" Li An frowned: "Evergreen Immortal Venerable... has also discovered the key to longevity!" "Balance!" The balance between life and death is the secret of longevity. Evergreen Immortal Venerable is the best in the world. Therefore, after obtaining the white fog of longevity, perhaps he has realized something. Therefore, in the attempt, this gray factor is the product of his desire to balance the weird and orthodox immortal way! Moreover, this product already has a certain magical effect. Li An inexplicably felt a sense of urgency in his heart. To be able to reach this point, the talent of Evergreen Immortal Venerable is self-evident. Who knows if he will master the truth one day? At present, Evergreen Immortal Venerable... should not have found the correct answer yet. It seems that Li An's current practice is also to absorb the strange air and immortal air at the same time. The direction that Evergreen Immortal Venerable is trying is also the same, but there is an essential difference between the two. Li An can absorb the two airs because his life and death millstone has been formed. This is the balance between life and death! The strange aura is just a manifestation of death, not its essence.
The orthodox immortal way is only a profile of life, far from the whole picture.
The Immortal Changqing only got the branches and leaves, but not the trunk; only got a corner, but not the iceberg.
"The balance between life and death can only be understood by going through it yourself, but the Immortal Changqing has reached this level, and it is definitely not easy to see through the death barrier..."
This is the only way Li An can comfort himself.
He died after being sacrificed by the Immortal Changqing, and was pulled into the time and space of the past Changsheng Era by the immortals to listen to their magic, so he took a shortcut at this step!
His realm is not as good as that of the Immortal Changqing, but the Immortal Changqing's control of life and death is far inferior to his.
This is why the gray factor obtained by the Immortal Changqing from the fusion of weirdness and immortality will be wiped out by his black and white millstone.
"If he had any other ideas, he would not let others get involved in the Changsheng White Mist. Now he has placed his hopes on the gray factor. Obviously, Changqing Immortal Venerable should have no way out, so he is ready to try some sinister methods?"
Li An saw some truth from the fact that Changqing Immortal Venerable put the gray factor into Gu Xue Ning.
After all, if it were Li An, he would just kill Gu Xue Ning and get the Changsheng White Mist to strengthen his own black and white millstone. Why would he hesitate so much?
Changqing Immortal Venerable's choice...just shows that he may not be able to touch the edge of the life and death millstone!
Thinking about this clearly, Li An was slightly relieved.
"Wait and see...maintain the existence of the gray factor in my body."
Li An thought, since he accidentally entered the layout of Changqing Immortal Venerable, the best way...is to take advantage of the situation.
Next, he was much more careful when practicing, trying not to let the black and white millstone grind the gray factor.
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed.
In the past fifty years, Li An's realm has grown rapidly, and he has completely recovered to the level of the past!
Heavenly Immortal Perfection!
Only one step away from entering the Golden Immortal realm.
"Breaking through the Golden Immortal... requires a huge amount of strange energy and immortal crystals!"
The immortal veins here can no longer supply him!
"Even without the Heavenly Corpse Sword, I can now kill the Golden Immortal with my bare hands!"
The black and white millstones are getting stronger and stronger. When they evolve, they can destroy everything. Coupled with his Golden Immortal-level body, he has the confidence to kill ordinary Golden Immortal powerhouses.
"Next, I have to find a Golden Immortal-level immortal vein, and also find a Golden Immortal-level strange source..."
Li An is quite troubled, and his life and death millstone is too powerful. I am afraid that when he breaks through... he will directly refine a Golden Immortal-level immortal vein!
Since the division of heaven and earth, there are naturally many Golden Immortal-level forces under the rule of the Heavenly Court, but if one is directly destroyed and the immortal vein is snatched, it will probably cause a lot of trouble.
The same was true for the weird side.
At this time, an astonishing aura had been heard from inside the stone palace. The immortal energy here was very agitated, as if it was frightened by a strange beast and gushed out.
Li An activated the formation to protect Gu Xue Ning.
She had reached a critical moment.
The aura was crisscrossed, and strange phenomena appeared. It seemed that a world was evolving, and it seemed that all the good fortunes were condensed in this stone palace. After three days and three nights, Gu Xue Ning finally walked out of the stone palace. Her aura was very strong. She had recovered the level of Golden Immortal, and was even stronger than before.
"Congratulations, Master, on recovering your cultivation!"
Li An spoke.
"Not only has your cultivation recovered, but I am also close to Taiyi Golden Immortal..."
Gu Xue Ning smiled slightly, obviously very happy. After all, she had completely refined the Longevity Mist, and there was an extra Longevity Seed in her body!
This means that in the future...she still has a chance to strive for longevity?
Moreover, this immortal seed has infinite uses, and it seems to have great benefits for her vitality and potential, just like the legendary life seed. If so, maybe she can be like the Blood Sword Demon Lord back then?
It should be noted that according to the rumors, the Blood Sword Demon Lord's aptitude is only mediocre. The biggest reliance for his great achievements is the life seed of the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art!
Li An even praised him a few words.
"The immortal energy here has been leaked, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. We should also return to the strange domain. Let's go."
Gu Xue Ning took Li An out of the valley.
But just after leaving the valley, a big hand actually pressed down on Gu Xue Ning!
Immortal means!
After all, this place is too close to the holy land Zixiao Mountain. Once there is a little movement, it will immediately attract enemies.
Gu Xue Ning's face changed slightly, but she did not escape at this moment. She actually waved her hand and a brilliant immortal light shot out, which was also the orthodox immortal light!
Li An was shocked.
"It is indeed a life seed?"
Li An is too familiar with this.
If you have achieved success in cultivating life seeds, you can overcome the obstacles of life.
Is refining a long-lived qi equivalent to obtaining a life seed?
Of course, it can also be said that the life seeds cultivated by the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art are originally long-lived seeds?
Now Gu Xue Ning's long-lived seed power seems to be stronger than Li An's life seed at the beginning.
A wisp of long-lived qi is equivalent to millions of years of hard practice of the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art!
"Senior, who is cultivating here?"
The mana was blasted, and the one who attacked on the opposite side was just a celestial being. At this moment, he spoke from a distance and said, "I am Qiu An of the Double-Headed Holy Land, and my master, the Holy Lord of the Double-Handed Holy Land, Chu Jue, is recruiting heroes from all over the world and will go to the Purple Sky Mountain Holy Land to attend the Anti-Monster Conference. I wonder if you are willing to come out of the mountain?"
This is a young man!
Although he is very polite, the pride in his words can also be heard.
"The Lord of the Two-Headed Holy Land, such a big shot has also come to the border? The Great Meeting to Defeat the Weird?"
Gu Xue Ning pondered for a moment, her mind raced, and she said: "Thank you for your kindness, I agree."
She turned her head and looked at Li An and said: "Why don't we go deep into the enemy camp to investigate?"
Her slender jade hand had already landed on Li An, and a mysterious power was injected into Li An's body, which immediately concealed the strange aura of a cultivator on Li An!
The magical effect of the longevity seed is indeed very similar to the life seed.
"Chu Jue is one of the prodigies of the Holy Realm in the past. He is famous in the Heavenly Court and has killed many strong men in the Weird Domain. After you go out, remember to speak less and don't be recognized by this person, otherwise it will be a disaster."
She whispered again.
Chu Jue...
Li An heard this name, but he also felt very familiar... After thinking about it, he remembered.
The people he killed back then...
Now, they are also big shots.
The meeting to kill monsters? I'm afraid many of those old friends will come?
Li An nodded gently: "Disciple understands."
...
