The jade parrot emitting colorful light actually spoke, which shocked Li An directly!
Isn't this a jade sculpture?
He always thought that this jade parrot was just a mechanism at the entrance, so he wanted Ryan to destroy it, but he didn't expect it to have life...
And it... recognized Li An!
This set off a huge wave in Li An's heart.
He recalled the scenes of that year, a strange colorful parrot led a group of seven people into this place, and then was drawn into the secret realm. From then on, Li An started a new life...
It seems that the parrot that appeared in the outside world that year was the jade parrot in front of him?
Did Li An and his friends enter the secret realm that year because of the plan of this jade parrot?
What was his intention in bringing Li An and others into the secret realm?
"You...are you the parrot from that year?"
Although Li An had confirmed it, he still asked tentatively.
"Hey, kid, you were just a small True Dan with limited talent back then. Today you can become a Nascent Soul, but you don't thank me, and repay kindness with grievances. You are so cruel... No wonder the magic skill inheritance in the secret realm chose you."
"But, the level of your magic skill cultivation is too low, idiot, really idiot..."
The voice continued to sound in the jade parrot, and the red eyes fell on Li An. Li An suddenly felt like he was seen through.
But Li An also keenly noticed a problem in his heart-this mysterious jade parrot said that the magic skill inheritance chose Li An?
But what Li An got from this secret realm was clearly the "Life-Nourishing Immortal Art". The Immortal Heavenly Demon Art on him was just from the Demon Cult!
Could it be that this weird jade parrot didn't see the details of Li An's Life-Nourishing Immortal Art?
An idea flashed through Li An's mind, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The Jade Parrot said: "I have chosen you, so you can respect me as your teacher! Just call me Master!"
Li An frowned.
"However, now is not the time for you to come here. Go and find these things, and then come to me. At that time, I will lead you into the secret realm again. There are great opportunities waiting for you in the secret realm!"
A ray of light from the Jade Parrot shot towards Li An. Li An subconsciously wanted to stop it, but he immediately reacted. In front of this Jade Parrot, he must not reveal that he mastered the Life-Nourishing Immortal Casting Technique. This may be a top-secret secret and will also be his biggest trump card!
Li An just mobilized the normal soul power to protect himself and wanted to block the light, but his Yuanying-level spiritual power and magic were useless, and the light directly sank into his eyebrows.
Some inexplicable information suddenly emerged in Li An's mind. At the same time, there was a black mark in his spirit platform. This mark made him tremble and smell the smell of destruction.
"You can leave now--"
The Jade Parrot said.
Li An was very nervous. He looked at the Jade Parrot and said, "What is in my spirit platform?"
"The Talisman of Respecting Teachers and Teachings. What my sect values most is respecting teachers and teachings. If you do what I say, there will be no problem with this Talisman. If you dare to betray your teacher and destroy your ancestors, this Talisman will destroy you both physically and spiritually!"
The Jade Parrot's words were very cold. Without asking Li An if he agreed, he regarded himself as his master.
Li An's face was extremely ugly. "Why, you don't want to be my disciple?"
The Jade Parrot said: "Become my disciple, I will give you the opportunity to practice the Void, it is not difficult-"
Li An hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and knelt down immediately, "Thank you, Master, from now on, I will serve you at all times and go through fire and water!"
The situation is stronger than the person, this Jade Parrot is too weird, no matter what... it is best to obey it now.
The Jade Parrot then said, "You have been away from the secret realm for many years, why are you looking for me now? Do you still want to disrespect me?"
Li An said, "Master, I heard that the forces of the Evil King and Dao Sect are looking for you. I am worried about your safety, so I want to destroy the entrance here to protect the secret realm. I just failed to recognize your true identity. Please forgive me!"
"Dao Sect?"
The Jade Parrot seemed to be in deep thought and said, "This sect is a bit troublesome...Okay, I know, you go, those people can't find me."
It didn't mention the Evil King at all, as if compared with Dao Sect, the Evil King was nothing.
Li An heard this and immediately stood up respectfully and retreated-
Walking out of the ravine full of rotten leaves, Li An was already covered in cold sweat. Everything that happened in the cave was like a dream to him. He couldn't even believe it. He left so easily?
He didn't stop at all and ran away immediately——
…
And at this moment.
In the cave.
On the black and white Taoist stone, there seemed to be a spiritual light swimming in the colorful jade parrot, and a faint murmur sounded: "I said that there were seven people who came that year, how could there be one person, only the corpse was left, and the Yuanling disappeared. It turned out that he ran to the outside world... But, how did he get out?"
"Could it be that the demon corpse helped him? This is not impossible..."
"…Unfortunately, my real body is not here, and there is a sleeping soul hidden in the soul fire of this boy. That soul is quite capable. It is not advisable to alarm the snake, so I have to leave a mark in his body first."
The words of the jade parrot seemed very regretful, and the blood-red eyes stared at the outside of the cave, saying:
"However, the demon king chose this person as the inheritor, and the immortal demon power is gathered in this person. When he grows up, he can still be a good chess piece..."
…
Li An quickly fled from the Taixuan Mountains! Fortunately, although he wasted some time in the cave, the masters of the New Dao League outside had not surrounded him, giving Li An a chance to escape.
According to the route that had been prepared long ago, Li An rushed all the way...
...
The next morning.
After a night of running, Li An finally arrived at another continent in the Yuanling Realm - Dahuangzhou.
Dahuangzhou is the most marginal continent in the Yuanling Realm. It borders the other two major realms - Tianyi Realm and Ningling Realm. Li An plans to rest here to observe the changes in the situation in the Yuanling Realm. If there is any problem, he can escape to the other two major realms at any time.
Between an uninhabited hill, Li An has opened up a cave and took out the last fourth-level formation on his body and set it up.
This fourth-level formation was taken back by him on the escape route. Because he was busy escaping, he did not have time to take back the formations arranged on other escape routes.
For this plan, he has put a lot of effort, and all the formations accumulated over the years have been exhausted.
But after stopping, Li An was extremely grateful.
Although there were many episodes, fortunately, he escaped safely now...
"There must be something wrong with that jade parrot!"
Li An kept recalling every detail of seeing the jade parrot along the way.
The jade parrot back then flew directly to the outside world to guide the seven of them and led them into the secret realm.
The jade parrot now seems to be just a sculpture on the black and white stone, and it is difficult to leave!
Li An repeatedly bombarded it, although it could not hurt it, but its temper was not that good, right? It did not fight back from beginning to end, and it seemed to be just defending.
This is obviously wrong!
Even a clay man has a little bit of temper, let alone such a big guy? Can Li An attack it?
Secondly, when the jade parrot attacked Li An's spiritual platform, although the opponent was indeed very strong and Li An had no power to fight back, he felt that the jade parrot had more problems.
Li An entered the secret realm that year, how did he escape? Was it really not curious at all?
Moreover, Li An had no contact with it before. This time, it inexplicably asked Li An to be its apprentice and asked Li An to find things for it. Where did it trust him?
In addition, at this moment, he inexplicably sensed the black mark in his spiritual platform, and he was almost certain of one thing:
The Jade Parrot must have been restricted in some way. Although Li An could not kill it, it could not directly attack Li An.
Or it was afraid of something!
"Ten Thousand Years of Earthly Evil, Thousand Years of Moon Shadow, Heavenly Evil... I would also like to find these things!"
And thinking back to the things the Jade Parrot asked him to find, he sneered.
All of them were treasures of evil demons, such as Ten Thousand Years of Earthly Evil, Thousand Years of Moon Shadow, etc., which were extremely difficult to find. Even if they were found, Li An would use them to practice his "Ten Thousand Evils". Why would he give them to that broken parrot?
Yes, from the moment he escaped to this place, Li An had already determined that he would not go back to that secret realm!
Although the jade parrot was subject to certain restrictions, if Li An rushed in rashly, he would definitely be in great danger.
Moreover, the other party had lured them into the secret realm many years ago, and it was obvious that there was some big plot... For such things, Li An's principle was to stay as far away as possible.
As for the mark in his spiritual platform...
Li An slowly operated the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art, and used the breath of the life seed to refine it. As a result, he found that it was indeed effective!
The Life-Nourishing Immortal Art can dissolve this mark, but it just takes a longer time, at least three to five years.
"Did the jade parrot not see my Life-Nourishing Immortal Art, or did he see it but deliberately didn't say it?"
Li An thought it was the former.
After all, if the jade parrot knew Li An's background, it would not leave a mark that could be dissolved by the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art.
"What I got back then was the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art, but the jade parrot mistakenly thought I got the magic skill. What happened?"
He was puzzled.
In those days, he found a corpse in the secret realm, and got the inheritance of the life-nourishing immortal art from the corpse...
Could it be that the corpse belonged to a giant of the magic path, so the Jade Parrot thought that Li An's magic power came from it?
Or did the corpse deceive the Jade Parrot when it attacked Li An!
Moreover, Li An's inexplicable rebirth, now it seems, is also mostly related to the corpse.
Did the other party help him and hide it from the Jade Parrot?
Many thoughts flashed through Li An's mind.
But he couldn't verify these now.
"What a shitty secret realm, so weird and dangerous, whoever wants to go can go!"
Li An also saw it clearly. This secret realm is very dangerous, and the horror of the Jade Parrot may be even more outrageous than the Evil King. Therefore, he would not participate in any evil cultivator who went to find this secret realm.
After thinking about it, he caught Gao Tai from the ring.
Gao Tai was dying. He was like a puddle of mud because he was controlled by Li An's magic, evil and poison skills. He raised his eyelids with difficulty, and a pleading look flashed in his eyes, "Brother Gu, you are the person I trust the most. I want to take credit for you..."
"You have been using evil spirits on me since the second year of knowing me. Is that also trust in me?"
Li An sneered.
Gao Tai's face was even uglier. It turned out that from the beginning, his actions had not been hidden from Li An. On the contrary, he was controlled by Li An...
Li An did not talk to him any more nonsense. He directly strangled his throat and began to operate the Immortal Heavenly Demon Skill.
Refine Gao Tai into a puppet!
The reason why he kept Gao Tai alive until now was to search for Gao Tai's memory.
In this way, he could have a clearer understanding of the situation of the evil king's lineage and make preparations for the future.
Gao Tai's eyes were full of pain and unwillingness, but after a long time, this unwillingness also disappeared, leaving only numbness and emptiness!
He has become Li An's flesh and blood puppet.
And Li An is also slowly sorting out Gao Tai's memory.
"Zhan Qingxuan!"
From Gao Tai's memory, Li An found a familiar person.
Zhan Qingxuan, who took him and Tan Qingxue and others to Dao Sect when he went to the Diyuan Realm, arranged him to Xuangui Peak, and cooperated with Xie Shisi and others to help the evil king break the seal and leave Dao Sect...
Now Zhan Qingxuan has a very high status in the evil king's lineage and is already a saint!
Previously, Gao Tai and other evil cultivators reported directly to her about the affairs of the Yuanling Realm.
Originally, according to the evil cultivators' plan, they were indeed preparing to annihilate the New Dao League and find the entrance to the secret realm... As a result, Li An's news made the evil cultivators change their minds.
Attacking the Jiang family became the top priority, while the Taixuan Mountains became a foil.
Everything was in Li An's calculation!
"Zhan Qingxuan and Li Yunxiao, it's best to perish together..."
These two people are enemies of Li An!
I just don't know how the battle between the Emperor Yuan Realm and the Jiang family is going...
"Gao Tai is doing really well. He is actually collecting opportunities for transformation with another alchemy cultivator... preparing to refine the Ren Huan Dan!"
Li An also got an important piece of information from Gao Tai's memory!
Over the years, Gao Tai has been working with the Yuan Ling Realm's alchemy master Zhu Hualu. The two also agreed to meet every ten years.
Over the years, the two of them have been struggling to collect things for transformation, wanting to refine the legendary "Tian Huan Dan". With Tian Huan Dan, the chance of being promoted to the God of Transformation is much greater.
However, since some key medicinal materials could not be found, the two could only settle for the second best and prepare to refine Ren Huan Dan.
As the name suggests, Ren Huan Dan requires a large amount of Yuan Ying cultivators' essence and blood, but the efficacy is definitely not as good as Tian Huan Dan.
What made Li An speechless was that he was actually one of the targets that Gao Tai was going to kill to make the elixir this time...
Gao Tai kept saying that Li An had made great contributions to the news about Jiang's family, and that Li An would definitely have a place after this matter was over. In fact, Gao Tai had never revealed Li An's existence to the high-level evil cultivators, and all the contributions made by Li An were taken by him.
Fuck.
He really deserved his death!
In addition to lamenting Gao Tai's cunning and treacherousness, Li An's heart was also slightly moved. Gao Tai and Zhu Hualu had collected a lot of fifth-level medicinal materials...
In another eight years, it would be the time for Gao Tai and Zhu Hualu to meet again!
According to Gao Tai's memory, Zhu Hualu did not know Gao Tai's true identity. Gao Tai had been using an alias to interact with him all these years...
At that time, maybe he could rob him?
After all, Gao Tai was dead, and he was the only person who knew about it. If he wanted to plot against Zhu Hualu, he had the unique conditions...
Li An's trip to Taixuan Mountains this time cost him countless resources. In order to pretend that he and Gao Tai were both dead, he basically did not touch Gao Tai's storage bag and other things.
The main reason was that although there were many things in Gao Tai's storage bag and storage ring at that time, there were not many things that would make Li An tempted to take them.
Now after refining Gao Tai, Li An realized that Gao Tai was very cautious, just like Li An. Many of his treasures were not carried on his body, but placed in a top-secret cave!
Now these... are naturally Li An's treasures.
But Li An was not in a hurry. Now his top priority was to refine the dark mark!
After all, with the mark of the jade parrot on his back, Li An was like being marked by someone... He was not at ease.
He started to retreat directly and prepared to refine the mark!
...
In the blink of an eye, six years passed.
After six years, Li An finally erased the mark left by the parrot!
…
