A year later, a Supreme finally arrived.
"Greetings to the Supreme!"
The arrival of Taoist Kuyuan did not alarm the crowd. He only asked Li An, Chu Lin and Zhao Yuan to accompany him. Zhang Yuan also went with him to check the situation on Nanfu Island.
Li An knew the most about this place and reported the basic situation.
"Well, has the strange air on Nanfu Island changed in these years?"
Standing on the highest peak on Nanfu Island, Taoist Kuyuan sensed the breath between heaven and earth, seemed to be looking at a certain direction of the sea, and asked calmly.
Li An said: "Report to the Supreme, for the time being... nothing has been found."
"Nothing has been found!?"
Taoist Kuyuan snorted coldly: "Su Yebai really doesn't take this place seriously. He only let a few Hedao guard it, and he couldn't even see that the strange air on the sea was already attacking this place!"
Hearing this, Chu Lin, Zhao Yuan and others all changed their faces, and their eyes were filled with fear.
The strange air on the sea is attacking?
Li An hurriedly said, "Report to the Supreme, we... we did not find anything abnormal, and there is nothing unusual in the formation on the island."
"No wonder you can't sense it with your cultivation, which is normal!"
The Taoist Kuyuan did not mean to pursue responsibility, "I'll go and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot, as if he had never existed. Li An and others did not even sense the fluctuations in the void.
"Is this the immortal?"
"How terrifying!"
Everyone was shocked. There was no doubt that Kuyuanzi had taken that step in the Golden Age.
At the same time, they all understood that this matter might be very important.
Otherwise, it would not be done by an immortal-level master himself.
After a long time,
Taoist Kuyuan's figure reappeared at the original place. He nodded: "Half a year ago, there should have been a pure and strange aura transmitted from the depths of the sea. It's a pity that time has passed so long that it can't be traced back."
"But Nanfu Island is where the strange aura is accumulated, there is no doubt about it!"
Taoist Kuyuan's face, the left side of the face is normal and full of red flesh, but the right side is withered like old tree bark, and the left and right eyes are reversed. The divine light in the right eye is very bright, while the left eye is almost gone.
At this moment, his right eye is obviously satisfied!
"Zhang Yuan, you stay here for the time being and pay close attention to the South China Sea."
He ordered and prepared to leave immediately.
"Disciple obeys!"
Zhang Yuan said respectfully.
I don't know what he thought of, Taoist Kuyuan suddenly said: "Li An, I heard that you were injured?"
After speaking, he grabbed Li An's wrist and held his pulse.
Li An's heart tightened, but he did not resist and let him check.
Li An had great trust in the life seed. His current cultivation was still concealed at the initial stage of the integration of the Dao, and his Yuan Shen was defective. Even the immortals could hardly see anything.
After a long time, Taoist Ku Yuan nodded and said, "It is indeed the injury of the Great Dao. It is difficult to recover..."
He took out a pill and handed it to Li An, "This is an immortal pill that can prolong life for a thousand years. I'll give it to you!"
Li An was surprised and hurriedly said respectfully, "Thank you for your concern and the generous gift!"
"My Dao Sect will never treat meritorious officials unfairly. You have been defending here for many years, which is unfair to you... Dao Sect always seeks fairness and justice when doing things."
After Taoist Ku Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand again, and a ray of immortal light fell on Li An. Before Li An could speak, he had already floated away. Zhang Yuan hurriedly followed and sent him away.
"Elder Li, congratulations!"
"Thanks to the blessing of the Supreme Immortal, Elder Li has a promising future!"
Chu Lin and Zhao Yuan were both envious and eager. A pill that can extend the life of a Taoist practitioner for a thousand years is extremely rare even today. It requires a close relationship with an immortal-level strongman to obtain it.
Besides, the Dao Sect also advocates following nature and has always been disgusted with pills that prolong life.
To Li An, Taoist Kuyuan was particularly kind and treated him very well!
Moreover, Taoist Kuyuan gave Li An a ray of immortal light at the end, which was obviously to protect Li An's life, meaning that if Li An had any accident, he could arrive and save Li An in the first time!
Both of them didn't understand why Li An, an elder who had lost power in the Dao Sect and was ostracized in Changqing Peak, had such a relationship with Taoist Kuyuan?
Confused and envious!
At the same time, they also became respectful to Li An!
On weekdays, they didn't take Li An seriously.
Li An seemed happy and was polite to the two of them, but his heart was already tense!
What did Taoist Kuyuan mean by this? !
He was extremely sensitive to the aura and could naturally sense it. What Taoist Kuyuan gave him should be good things. Even the last protective fairy light was natural and had no malice. But... why?
Taoist Kuyuan actually wanted to protect himself?
No, Li An didn't believe that he could be valued so much by Taoist Kuyuan.
Unless...
Someone wanted to kill Li An?
And Taoist Kuyuan didn't want that person to succeed? So... he gave Li An these things.
This was the only possibility.
This made him inexplicably nervous. Which immortal was targeting him? Moreover, the person who could be valued by Taoist Kuyuan... was definitely not a weakling!
...
"This place is very important. You stay here and report to me at any time no matter what happens."
The Taoist Kuyuan has already reached the edge of Nanfu Island and gave instructions to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan respectfully responded.
"And Li An, from now on, let him find a safe place on the island to rest. Try not to let him participate in dangerous things and don't let him go out."
The Taoist Kuyuan emphasized again.
Zhang Yuan's eyes showed a puzzled look, and he said: "Sir, does Li An have any significant impact on this matter?"
The Taoist Kuyuan shook his head, sighed, and said: "Wang Ji's disciple is about to become an immortal, but the worldly air is too heavy, and all of it is concentrated on Li An!"
"What an injustice!"
"If that girl wants to become an immortal, she will definitely kill Li An, the inner demon... But Li An is a disciple of my Taoist sect, not a demon. How can we sacrifice him for the sake of Tan Qingxue? We are the Taoist sect, not the demon sect that does not distinguish between right and wrong!"
"If Tan Qingxue wants to become an immortal, What's the point of becoming an immortal if Li An is killed? This move has already fallen into the devil's way!"
He said very solemnly: "Tai Qingzi almost made a big mistake in the past. I can't sit and watch others go the wrong way!"
"Li An can't die. He is innocent! Tan Qingxue's calamity, she has to find a way to break it herself!"
"I would rather let the Taoist sect lose an immortal than have an extra bloodbath!"
Zhang Yuan's eyes were instantly relieved. He immediately bowed deeply to Taoist Kuyuan and said, "Thank you for your trouble--"
...
After Zhang Yuan returned to the island, he immediately adjusted the affairs on the island according to what Taoist Kuyuan said.
Many of the hard and heavy work originally undertaken by Li An were transferred to Chu Lin and Zhao Yuan. Chu Lin and Zhao Yuan were very unhappy, but they didn't dare to show it at all. They had to accept it with a smile.
Who let Li An have such a big backer!
"Elder Li, you have worked too hard these years. Things on the island still need you, so you still need to stay on the island, but you don't have to worry about those chores in the future, just practice with peace of mind."
Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
Li An bowed his hands, very grateful, "Thank you Elder Zhang for your kindness, Li An will never forget it!"
...
Under Zhang Yuan's arrangement, Li An moved into the safest cave on the island, and a higher level of protective formation was quietly replaced around him.
This made Li An even more worried.
What is going on?
Who the hell wants to kill me...
He thought carefully, but couldn't figure it out.
Evil demon?
General evil demons don't dare to show up, unless they are at the level of Shangguan Shengxian.
But if it is really Shangguan Shengxian, what Taoist Kuyuan did is tantamount to alerting the snake, telling the other party directly and clearly that Li An is protected by them.
Everything Taoist Kuyuan did to Li An is more like a warning to others.
Don't touch him!
"Could it be someone from the Dao Sect?"
This is very likely.
"No, I can't be so passive!"
Li An murmured.
Although Taoist Kuyuan is currently protecting him very tightly, he can never put his life on Taoist Kuyuan.
What's more, Li An doesn't even know Taoist Kuyuan's true intentions, he is just guessing.
What if Taoist Kuyuan is also a person with unpredictable intentions?
In the stone cave where he was in seclusion, Li An set up four layers of formations inside and outside, covering isolation, attack, and defense.
Then he arranged hundreds of runes against attacks on the soul in the formation.
Anyone who can make Taoist Kuyuan pay attention and want to attack Li An must be able to do the Mahayana Free and Easy Journey, and the Yuanshen will fly in directly and kill Li An. Who can Li An go to for justice?
But these things can only defend against the Hedao level at most.
For the real Mahayana, even the Tribulation, or the Immortal, these things of Li An are completely useless.
There are only two things that are useful: the thunder in the immortal coffin and the teapot lid buried on the island!
The thunder is extremely lethal to the soul, and the teapot lid has an unknown origin and great power.
But these two things must not be used.
Otherwise, his trump card and all his hidden things will be exposed directly.
Escape?
No, now he is shrouded by the immortal light of Kuyuanzi, where can he run to?
Returning to the Dao Sect and letting Xiang Yuntian guard him directly is a way...but this method is not much better. First, Xiang Yuntian himself is limited in strength and is only a tribulation. If the other party is an immortal, Xiang Yuntian can't protect Li An, and the disaster of the cliff of repentance may not be repeated.
Second, once the immortal ceremony begins, Xiang Yuntian, as the master of a peak, will get out, and Li An will run out and stick to him all the time? It's not realistic to think about it.
"No..."
Li An analyzed carefully and suddenly had a new understanding.
Kuyuanzi deliberately had Li An protected and gave Li An aura of protection. What does this mean?
It means that at least in Kuyuanzi's opinion, this is enough -
In fact, Kuyuanzi just wants to send a signal that he is paying attention to Li An and let that person restrain himself and not mess around.
The other party is enough for Kuyuanzi to pay attention to, but not stronger than Kuyuanzi!
The other party needs to give Kuyuanzi face, and Kuyuanzi also doesn't want to do it too badly, so doing this is also a euphemistic reminder to the other party!
These two pieces of information... are implied in Kuyuanzi's behavior.
"A big shot in Dao Sect--"
Li An narrowed his eyes, he couldn't guess who it would be, but thinking carefully, maybe it's best to cooperate with Kuyuanzi's plan now...
Kuyuanzi's move is likely to work.
"In addition, we need to take another insurance--"
Li An thought for a while, and then took out a half-dead young man from the immortal coffin--
This man is a genius of the Five Elements Sect, and his cultivation is in harmony with the Tao. He entered this place for training hundreds of years ago, and had an accident and was seriously injured, so Li An captured him.
Li An did not do nothing. For prey that has no risk at all... he also accepts all comers.
"You..."
The cultivator wanted to say something, but before he opened his mouth, Li An had already activated his magic power and directly refined him--
Turn him into a puppet!
After a long time, the puppet has become exactly the same as Li An, and looks like a real living person, even the most fundamental life energy is no different.
"This immortal light protects me, and recognizes my life breath, so I should be able to transfer the immortal light to the puppet!"
Li An murmured.
This fairy light is like a "clothes" that only he can wear, but now "another Li An" has appeared, so the two can naturally change "clothes".
Li An tried to guide the fairy light into the puppet, and after a long, long time, he finally succeeded!
Li An felt relieved!
In this way, he has two insurances.
The first is Ku Yuanzi. Since the other party is a member of the Dao Sect, he will definitely be afraid after noticing Ku Yuanzi's attitude. Li An feels that this line of defense alone should be able to protect his own safety.
The second is this "fake body". As long as Li An does not go out, the other party can only fly over with his soul to kill Li An. The real Li An will hold the thunder and wait in the dark. If it doesn't work, he will kill the other party's soul!
Of course, if he really kills the other party, then Li An will have only one way to go-
Hold the lid of the teapot given by Madam Yi and leave, and he will never be able to enter the Dao Sect again.
Li An is not unacceptable to this.
In fact, Li An entered Dao Sect for the protection and resources of Dao Sect.
At that time, he was too weak and had no power to resist the future situation.
But now it is different. Li An can initially transform into a strange creature, and has made great progress in Dao Sect.
Now he does not need the cave paradise of Dao Sect for cultivation. Dao Sect has lost its greatest role for Li An!
In the future, he will definitely leave Dao Sect. After all, in the face of the strange tide, Dao Sect will be destroyed. It is good to hide under the wind and rain under the big tree, but when the big tree is about to fall... Li An will definitely run away in advance.
The reason why he has not left is that he still needs to use the identity of Dao Sect Elder to hunt enough blood food, and secondly, he wants to continue to fleece Dao Sect. Maybe he can take advantage of the chaos of Dao Sect to rob Dao Sect and get some valuable resources.
But the risk is hard to resist, so naturally he should protect himself first!
All preparations have been made, and Li An immediately announced to the outside world that he is about to go into seclusion.
Lest the outside world see the clues of his fake body.
His real body concealed its aura, and the fake body was placed in the cave, pretending to practice.
…
In the blink of an eye.
Another ten years passed.
The news about the Immortal Ceremony finally spread throughout the world!
Dao Zong made a decision and selected the location of the Immortal Ceremony - Nanfu Island.
A large number of people from Dao Zong arrived, including the masters of many peaks, and even the headmaster Su Yebai, several supremes, etc., who frequently appeared on Nanfu Island.
With Nanfu Island as the center, a larger construction began, and the entire bay around it was included in the plan of Dao Zong.
Dao Zong's plan was extremely amazing. It was to set up a shocking formation with the entire bay as the center, and use some mysterious objects floating in the South China Sea as the trigger to actively attract the storm dormant in the depths of the South China Sea.
Activate the weirdness, and then let the geniuses of Dao Zong become immortals in the weirdness -
The world is paying attention, the world is in an uproar, and almost all forces and cultivators are hotly discussing this matter!
"Is Dao Zong crazy? They actually want to actively attract the South China Sea immortal wind. Have they forgotten what the world was like during the great changes three hundred years ago? This will affect all living beings!"
"It's too small! Dao Zong is doing this. If there is really a storm lurking in the depths of the South China Sea, they can attract it, which is equivalent to clearing the mines for the entire spirit world. Moreover, they are in the front, and we can just watch the fire from the other side of the river!"
"It makes sense... But if Dao Zong really makes the right bet and a group of immortals appear in the weirdness, then
From now on, who in the world can be the opponent of Dao Sect? It won't be difficult to unify the entire spiritual world. "
Various news spread.
Fan Sect, Five Elements Sect, Sun and Moon Sect, Taiqing Sect, and even some ancient and secretive forces, such as the Sword Immortal Family Dugu Family, the ancient Taoist heir Ge Ruxian and other big figures, have also appeared in Xinzhou...
The geniuses in the world are even more yearning, and they all rush to Nanfu Island to witness history.
Nanfu Island has become a place where the wind and clouds gather.
...
The island is extremely lively.
Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye also came and visited, but after learning that Li An was practicing in seclusion, they did not disturb him.
Li An practiced while watching coldly, waiting, and not going out at all.
The more people on the island, the safer he is!
After all, if someone in Dao Sect wants to kill Li An, they can only do it secretly. After all, Li An has not made any mistakes in these years. Dao Sect follows rules and cannot kill innocent people.
If you want to do something sneaky, it will be very difficult in public.
…
The world is talking about Dao Sect's plan, and various bigwigs appear again and again to investigate.
But the speed of Dao Sect's formation is far beyond people's imagination. The top leaders of Dao Sect call the move to Nanfu Island a great plan for eternity. The time span of laying out various formations is conservatively estimated to be more than 500 years.
The entire Dao Sect came out in full force, and various precious resources poured out like mud and sand. The price paid was unimaginable. Top magic weapons, runes, formations, etc. were consumed crazily...
After all, what Dao Sect has to do this time is too big.
Three hundred years of changes in the world At that time, the world was miserable and all the immortals died. Now they are going to actively attract the immortal wind from the South China Sea. Who knows if there will be another big change?
So, they must be fully prepared.
In order to reassure the major forces in the world, Dao Zong often invites people from major sects to come, so that they can understand Dao Zong's painstaking efforts and plans, and be open and aboveboard.
Even Dao Zong directly said that any cultivator in the world who is determined to become an immortal does not have to pay anything, even if he does not participate in the construction of Nanfu Island, he can participate in the final immortal ceremony.
Obviously, Dao Zong has a great sense of responsibility and morality in doing this, not for Dao Zong itself, but for the survival of the entire spiritual world.
Therefore, Dao Zong wants all the cultivators in the world to participate.
The more people who become immortals in the weirdness, the more they will be in the future. The more powerful the force is, the stronger it is.
Later, some big forces gradually learned more about the situation, sent some talented people, and took out some resources to participate in the construction of Nanfu Island and the surrounding bays...
In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand years have passed--
A thousand years are like flowing water.
And Nanfu Island has been turned upside down!
The entire island was flattened, and the land of millions of miles was paved with top-level avenue stones to form a huge Taoist platform. There were all kinds of terrifying immortal formations between the avenue stones. Just walking into it, people had the illusion of directly realizing the Tao and ascending on the spot.
On the periphery, there were all kinds of top-level immortal medicines, all transplanted from the interior of the Taoist sect. A large amount of immortal substances were released and finally gathered in the Taoist platform on the island. The rosy clouds were like a fairyland.
In the bay outside Nanfu Island, there are many islands that were not there originally——
Those islands were created by Dao Zong masters by moving mountains and filling the sea. Each small island is a formation eye. The formation is intricate, and many places have mysterious objects obtained from the South China Sea.
And in the sky of tens of millions of miles, there are 108 suspended immortal cities. Those cities are equipped with immortal-level power, or directly guarded by immortals. The 108 immortal cities are connected to each other, suppressing the entire bay and even the entire South China Sea!
"It's almost equivalent to... moving the entire Dao Zong here."
"From top to bottom, everyone came out in full force. Just to build these, the foundation accumulated by Dao Zong over the ages must have consumed 50% to 60%?"
"It took a thousand years, regardless of all costs. Is it really worth it to do this..."
People are puzzled.
It must be known that the thousand-year golden age is so precious. The immortals of many other major forces are increasing rapidly, and they are already on par with Dao Zong!
However, Dao Zong wasted all his energy on this matter. No one has become an immortal in the past thousand years.
All those who hope to become immortals must wait for the Immortal Ceremony!
It seems that Dao Zong is making a big gamble. He doesn't want ordinary immortals at all. He only wants immortals who can achieve enlightenment in the weirdness!
"Is it really worth it to do this..."
Above Nanfu Island, several immortals are checking everywhere to confirm that everything is correct. One of them can't help but sigh.
This person is Master Fenyuan, the master of Tianhuo Peak back then.
"It's worth it."
The former headmaster, now the Supreme Immortal Tai Qingzi, said calmly: "Don't forget the corpses floating in the South China Sea..."
"Don't talk about us, even if the famous True Immortals, Golden Immortals and even Daluo in the Immortal World are dead, the unimaginable horror is slowly approaching, and the world is sleeping in the dream of the Golden Age."
He shook his head: "Just sit and wait for death, the whole spirit world is sitting and waiting for death."
Tian Chenzi next to him pondered for a moment and said: "But, if we misjudged it, our Dao Sect may have a hard time from now on..."
The Dao Sect's efforts over the past thousand years... are too heavy.
"It's a little bit harder if it's difficult." Tai Qingzi smiled slightly and said, "There are many forces in the spiritual world, but others can't bear such a responsibility. Dao Zong is the first in the world and has always been regarded as a holy place by the world." "A holy place should have the responsibility of a holy place, and Dao Zong should have the responsibility of a Dao Zong." He spoke softly, as if he had seen through everything, but he was not afraid at all, only a calm and indifferent attitude to welcome all storms, saying, "This is the fate of our generation." "Even if I die, I won't refuse!" ... "Have you not thought about it yet?" At the same time, somewhere. Li Yunxiao, whose face had been disfigured, stared at Tan Qingxue and said, "The nine tails have been formed, and the last demon in the heart should be killed-" Tan Qingxue was silent for a long time. ... Li An's retreat. Because the entire Nanfu Island had been changed, Li An and others were moved to a newly built island next to it hundreds of years ago. Zhang Yuan did not forget Ku Yuanzi's instructions and continued to arrange a safe place for Li An. This day. "I'm already in the late stage of He Dao. After a thousand years, those who wanted to kill me should have... stopped, right?"
Li An muttered.
He was 1,653 years old when he broke through He Dao. Now another 1,700 years have passed, and he is more than 3,350 years old!
