"Shangri-La, it's really you, it's really you..."
After entering the secret hall of the City Lord's Mansion and opening the formation to prevent others from discovering, Li Nianxue finally couldn't suppress her excitement and emotions, and suddenly knelt down, "Greetings, Shangri-La!"
Her face was excited, emotional, and there was an indescribable emotion, which eventually turned into a tearful smile.
Li An took off the bamboo hat on his head and changed his appearance back to the same face as when he was on the Changqing Peak of Dao Sect. He looked young and vigorous, but with a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"Hurry up, don't do this."
Li An helped Li Nianxue up. Seeing his old friend again, Li An was also full of mixed feelings.
"Are you and everyone else all right?"
"Everything is fine, Your Excellency!"
Li Nianxue said with tears in her eyes: "At present, only I, Senior Brother An Li and Shangguan know about you. If everyone knew that you are still alive, they would be extremely happy..."
"Where are they now?" Li An asked, smiling:
"The catastrophe of longevity is coming, and a great disaster is about to happen. Before that, I would like to see an old friend."
Li Nianxue sensed something unusual. Did Li An mean that the catastrophe of longevity cannot be stopped?
Li An has always been the last hope for An Li, Shangguan Xiaoxiao and others to turn things around. If he thinks so, then it will be dark.
However, she only had this thought in her mind, and she did not feel too much sadness and disappointment. Perhaps in her heart, waiting for Li An's return is the most important thing. As for whether this disaster can be stopped...it doesn't matter anymore.
"In the last battle, we acted according to your arrangement, and let Yunluo Xianzun suffer a great loss. After he knew the truth about the residual spirit of the immortal, he was furious... Senior Brother Anli was worried that after he killed Qin Zhong, he would still be angry and come to seek revenge in the Heavenly Court, so everyone dispersed and hid in various places to avoid being caught in one fell swoop."
"Supreme Lord, should I summon them now?"
Li Nianxue asked.
"There is no need to alarm too many people. I just want to see old friends I know. In addition, go wherever it is secret."
Li An spoke.
In fact, after he returned, if the things he did secretly for Dao Zong were made public, he would definitely have a prestige far beyond that of Zi Xianzi and Shangguan Xiaoxiao. He was even the leader of key battles such as the Heavenly Court Reform and the Tenth Heavenly Domain War, but Li An never cared about these false names and kept a low profile.
He didn't care whether he would be discovered by Yunluo Immortal Venerable. Now he had completed the same transformation as Changqing Immortal Venerable. He hid all his Dao fruits in the derived mysterious substance and injected it into Gu Xuening's body. Even if he was killed and died completely, it didn't matter.
As long as someone sacrificed the world, it would trigger the rebirth of Changqing Immortal Venerable. When Changqing Immortal Venerable was reborn, he would be reborn in the rebirth of Changqing Immortal Venerable and pick the fruit that Changqing Immortal Venerable wanted to pick.
It was precisely because of this that Li An's cultivation was almost gone. In terms of magic power and magical powers alone, he was only at the level of an immortal.
"Okay!" Li Nianxue took Li An out of the city. She was going to escape through the void. Li An subconsciously said, "Take me with you." He took the initiative to extend his hand and smiled bitterly, "There is not much cultivation left." In fact, although he only had this little cultivation left, he naturally had a lot of means and background. However, before he came back this time, he had already thought that he would show Dao Zong... a useless self. He had an idea in his mind... Before making a decision, he still wanted to test something again. Start from now. Li Nianxue was a little stunned. She just thought that Li An was just hiding his shortcomings. After all, Li An always liked to hide in the dark, but now facing her, there was no need to hide. It seems that... Li An really only had the cultivation of an immortal? But, how could this be... Li An led the change in the Heavenly Court and killed 17 Golden Immortals. His previous strength was definitely the best among the Daluo. But now...
She had a vague guess in her heart. After killing 17 Daluo Jinxian, Li An Tai Shang must have made some unknown efforts, but he failed. His cultivation was greatly damaged, and he was no longer able to stop Yunluo Xianzun...
She felt distressed and admired. Li An protected the people of the world in obscurity and supported himself for a long time without anyone paying attention...
But he never said it. It was obvious that he was the one who paid the most for the people of the world!
Thinking of this, she reached out and held Li An's hand tightly, saying: "Unless I die, you won't get hurt again."
Li An was a little puzzled. Isn't it just a faraway escape in the void? Why did he say this, and she held it too tightly.
But Li An didn't say anything and followed her to escape.
...
Not long after.
One of the many lower realms, the spiritual world.
In those days, the spirit world was invaded by the major forces of Zixiaozhou in the eleven heavens, and many creatures were kept in captivity like pigs. However, when he was in the holy realm, Li An led many geniuses to attack Zixiao Mountain. In that battle, the forces that participated in the war of the spirit world in the past, such as the Yi family and the Gong family, were all destroyed.
The spirit world was also recovered at that time. Later, with the development of the Dao Sect in the thirty-three heavens, the former site of the Dao Sect in the spirit world was also restored and became an ancestral land. The entry disciples of the Dao Sect need to come here to practice for a period of time.
Many main peaks stand side by side, and figures have arrived on the former Xiajian Peak.
"What happened? Is there any movement over there?"
Xiang Yuntian arrived and asked the Purple Fairy who had already arrived.
But Fairy Zi just shook her head: "I don't know, An Li sent the message, just wait for him to arrive."
"Brother Xiang."
Another figure arrived, it was Gu Canye. As soon as they met, Xiang Yuntian went to meet him, pleasantly surprised, and said: "Your swordsmanship is still improving, you are already a quasi-Daluo..."
Back then, Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye were both top talents in Dao Sect's Xiajian Peak. After leaving the spirit world, for a long time, the two were neck and neck for a long time.
But later, because Gu Canye was more thoughtful in dealing with things, he was too busy with the development of Dao Sect and was too distracted, so he fell behind Xiang Yuntian.
Of course, it can also be said that he was delayed. He has more wisdom, so he also has more worries. Xiang Yuntian's mind is simpler and he thinks less, which is a blessing in practicing swordsmanship.
Until now that the catastrophe is approaching, Gu Canye's thoughts are empty, his sword heart reappears, and his cultivation immediately catches up.
"I have lived in seclusion for many years and have nothing to do, so I have to hone my cultivation." Gu Canye smiled slightly and said, "Before Yunluo sacrifices himself, at least I will use my sword to attack him again, so that my cultivation will be stronger and it won't be too embarrassing." "Why are you thinking about Yunluo Immortal Venerable? You should find a wife, hahahaha... Is there anyone else coming?" Xiang Yuntian asked, and then more figures arrived, including Li Qingran, Lei Dang, Fen Yuan, etc., but no one else was seen. "An Li, you are finally here, what happened?" Finally, An Li arrived and asked Xiang Yuntian. But An Li also smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. It was Junior Sister Li Nianxue who sent the message... I gave him a jade talisman that can contact everyone." Although he said so, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had guessed something. Everyone was even more puzzled, but Fairy Purple suddenly asked, "By the way, where is Miss Shangguan? Why didn't she come?"
An Li was also puzzled. It was impossible that Li Nianxue didn't send a message to Shangguan Xiaoxiao. Why didn't she come?
While everyone was waiting, the void suddenly trembled.
"She's here!"
"Just ask her and you'll know."
Everyone looked at her.
But in the void, two figures appeared together. One of them was Li Nianxue, but the other...
"What kind of monster is that!"
Xiang Yuntian glared and roared, and he actually pulled out the Tai'a Stone Sword directly. The Daluo sword energy was all over the place, and he was about to chop the man with a sword.
"Master, don't mess around!"
An Li was shocked and hurriedly stopped Xiang Yuntian. "Don't stop me. Can't you see? Li Nianxue must be controlled by a ghost. He must have been sent by Yunluo Immortal Venerable. Maybe he is the incarnation of Yunluo Immortal Venerable. He dared to turn into an old shabby guy. Damn Yunluo Immortal Venerable, die for me!" Xiang Yuntian was furious. He thought it was a conspiracy. Moreover, the most important thing was that the man next to Li Nianxue dared to turn into this. For him, it was a bottom line that could not be challenged. Even Gu Canye was stunned for a moment, with great confusion in his eyes. "Taishang?!" Li Qingran frowned. At the critical moment, it was Fairy Purple who took action and suppressed Xiang Yuntian, saying, "Don't panic, he... doesn't look like a strange creature."
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Nianxue and Li An finally came out. Li Nianxue stood respectfully and silently on the side, while Li An smiled slightly. He looked at the familiar faces in front of him, and felt inexplicably warm in his heart. His eyes fell on Xiang Yuntian's face and said:
"You are such an ungrateful person. When we were in Tiansha Mountains, you owed me a life. Now you want to use a sword against me. It seems that you want to kill people to silence them, so that no one will ask for your life..."
He brought up the old story again. When Li An was in seclusion in Tiansha Mountains, he once saved the impoverished Xiang Yuntian's life. Xiang Yuntian said at that time that he owed Li An a life.
The two of them never mentioned this matter again later. Except for Xiang Yuntian, Li An, and An Li, absolutely no one else knew about it.
So, when Li An said this, Xiang Yuntian was stunned, staring at Li An, and said: "You..."
"What do you mean by me? I'm fucking alive, do you still expect me to die?"
Xiang Yuntian couldn't say a word. This Daluo Jinxian, who once fought against Changqing Xianzun and was known as the world's first sword cultivator, choked on the spot. Tears filled his tiger eyes. The stone sword in his hand fell to the ground. His body trembled slightly, and he stared at Li An.
"Really... is it Brother Li?!"
Gu Canye stepped forward, he put his arm around Li An's shoulders, and was extremely excited, saying: "You, are you really still alive?!"
Behind, Li Qingran, Lei Dang, Fen Yuan and others were even more shocked.
Has this legendary figure in the history of Dao Sect returned?
Fairy Zi stared at Li An, and her eyes were also extremely shocked. Li An is still alive, which is simply unimaginable.
You must know that Li An was sacrificed alive on the altar of life by the Immortal Changqing, and he could not die any more!
"The portrait of Shangguan Taishang came from Li Taishang."
An Li did not step forward. He looked at the scene of everyone recognizing Li An, feeling relieved and emotional. He smiled and said, "When we surrounded and killed Fairy Hongbo, we almost lost. As a result, the bone-melting formation I set up suddenly became stronger. At that time, it was Li Taishang who secretly helped me."
"Later, the Heavenly Court changed drastically. Yunluo Xianzun was defeated. Shangguan Shengxian took action and almost ruined all the plans. As a result, a phantom scared Yunluo away. That was also the work of Li Taishang."
"And the death of Lord Qiongqi, and the last battle that killed 17 Daluo Jinxians and forced Yunluo Xianzun to give up his own immortal seal... All of this was arranged by Taishang."
In his eyes, the admiration and respect were so strong that it was like an admirer looking at his own god. Everyone said that he was the first think tank in the Heavenly Court, but only he knew in his heart who the real wise man was.
It is precisely because of this that, as the person closest to the mountain, he can better understand Li An's strength.
"Brother Li, that's great, that's great, hahaha..."
Gu Canye and Li An embraced each other. After thousands of years of separation, they met again. Both of them were extremely moved.
"Greetings to the Supreme!"
"Greetings to the Supreme!"
Li Qingran, Fen Yuan and other younger generations performed even greater respects. Everyone's eyes were filled with admiration and respect. For these later generations, Li An has always been a kind of spiritual totem.
It can even be said that they grew up at Li An's feet, followed and listened, and have been Li An's followers all their lives!
"Although I don't know how you survived the death calamity four thousand years ago, it's really good that you are alive, and it's really good to live like this."
Convinced that it was indeed Li An, Zi Xianzi's eyes were also full of mixed feelings. She recalled the scene when she first met Li An.
The first time, she was still in the coffin. At that time, Li An was just a Dan-forming cultivator. When she explored the secret realm with several young cultivators, she observed that Li An was the most scheming person, so she gave him the opportunity.
The second time, Li An really grew up, and used the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art to help her get rid of the Daoling Parrot.
In fact, although she accepted Li An as her disciple, she did not approve of Li An's character.
In her opinion, Li An has always been a selfish person.
But when she saw Li An again later, Li An had changed a little. He began to protect the weak Dao Sect in the Holy Realm. Before he died, he killed many Daluo, and even made Tai'a Sword Saint admire him.
From then on, she had a new look at Li An.
Now, after hearing what An Li said, the little cognition that Fairy Zi had about Li An has been completely overturned.
The little person who used to be a sly and calculating for a little profit has now become a mountain, a mountain that cares about the world and fights for the people.
Even, she had to raise her head slightly to look up.
"Don't kneel, and don't look at me like I'm a dead person, hahahaha... That, there were a lot of good wines buried on Xiajian Peak back then, is there any left now? I'm thirsty and want to drink!"
Li An also put everything aside for a rare time, just wanting to get drunk to his heart's content!
"Of course there are!"
Gu Canye waved his hand, "I'll go dig it, the spirit world has been in chaos until now, there's four or five thousand years of vintage wine, get drunk to death today!"
"Elder Gu, I'll help you!"
"Hahaha, four or five thousand years of good wine, I'm in luck today!"
Fenyuan Leidang and others were all very lively.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian, who seemed to have a brain freeze and couldn't say a word for a long time, suddenly shouted: "Fuck you, you are really a scumbag!" Everyone had seen Li An, and even talked for a long time, but he just reacted, rushed over, punched Li An in the chest, and beat and scolded: "Fuck you, fuck you, you fucking old immortal, hahaha, old immortal, old immortal!" "You come now, you come now, you let me know now, I will fucking kill you, kill you hahaha..." He hugged Li An fiercely and said: "I miss you so much!"
