After hesitating for a while, Li An decided to meet Li Nianxue.
Since the battle on Nanfu Island, he has not had the opportunity to contact Tan Qingxue. Although he later heard from reliable sources that Tan Qingxue had lost all her memories, he did not verify the truth.
The reason why he wanted to kill Tan Qingxue was because Tan Qingxue guessed some of his secrets and even coveted him when she became an immortal.
Although she let Li An go on Nanfu Island because of their old relationship, Li An still wanted to kill him.
After all, his most fundamental secret is not for anyone to covet!
Understanding that Li An's attitude towards her is still the same now. If she is still a threat to Li An... it is better to kill her.
To avoid endless troubles.
"Greetings to the Supreme!"
In the hall, Li Nianxue was extremely excited when she saw Li An coming out, and hurriedly saluted.
The last time Li An saw her was a thousand years ago. At that time, she was the best among the five generations of disciples, with extraordinary talent, and she was the center of attention. She still had the demeanor of a young girl. Now, a thousand years have passed, and she has become quite mature, but still has the appearance of a young girl. Her cultivation is quite high, and she has reached the stage of transcending tribulation, and is even about to become an immortal.
Li An only took a glance and understood that she did not cut off the many immortal substances in her body, but cultivated the so-called "pseudo-immortal road" all the way.
It's not that she didn't want to. After Li Yunxiao died, Tian Chenzi doted on her too much and gave her all the rare treasures in the world, but unexpectedly it hurt her, making her fall into the pseudo-immortal road and lose the opportunity to escape.
Tian Chenzi targeted Li An on Xianshan Island because of this incident.
When Li Nianxue saw Li An, her attitude was very respectful, and her heart was a little complicated, with a little admiration.
When she met Li An, Li An was just an elder of Changqing Peak with no status. He was exiled to Nanfu Island and no one paid attention to him. But now, Li An has returned from a foreign land and has become the Supreme Lord.
It can be called a legend.
"Miss Nianxue, do you have something important to ask me?" Li An asked.
"Your Excellency, I have something to ask..."
Li Nianxue gritted her teeth and said, "I want to ask you to see my mother."
She explained before Li An asked, "My mother met with an accident on Nanfu Island, which caused her to lose many memories... She couldn't even remember me, but she still remembered Uncle Li's name."
Her voice became smaller.
Li An couldn't help but be alert. Does Tan Qingxue really want to die?
She even dared to remember him... No, I have to go and see. If the situation is not right, I can't blame him for killing.
"So, Nianxue wants to ask the Supreme to meet my mother. Maybe she can remember something..."
Li An nodded, "Okay."
Li Nianxue was very happy.
...
The scenery on the Demon Ancestor Peak is excellent, but it is very deserted.
When the Dao Sect was at its peak, there were only Master Wang Ji and Tan Qingxue here. There was no one else. Now Master Wang Ji has gone to an unknown place, so only Tan Qingxue and Li Nianxue are left to depend on each other.
When we reached the top of the Demon Ancestor Peak, there was no Taoist palace, etc. The place where the formation was protected was the stone cave where Master Wang Ji practiced in the past. Outside the stone cave was a field of spiritual medicine, with various spiritual medicines, cranes, etc., and some clusters of flowers.
"Don't be afraid, crane, don't run away..."
In a pond, a woman in white clothes chased the crane in the water like a child. The crane flapped its wings and flew away, while the woman fell into the mud. When she got up, her face was covered with mud. She was very angry and sat on the ground and cried.
Looking at this scene, Li An was stunned.
This woman was Tan Qingxue.
Back then, he heard that Tan Qingxue's soul was severely damaged, with only the IQ and cognition of a child of a few years old. Now, it seems that...
Not bad. Beside him, Li Nianxue was even more sad, sighing: "My mother has been like this for thousands of years, and I really have no way..."
"I have found many magical medicines for her to repair her soul, but they are all useless. Kuyuan Taishang said that before she lost her memory, she must have had a great knot in her heart, so she closed her mind and buried the last bit of her true spirit in her heart. Therefore, medicine and stone flow like water, and it is difficult to nourish the roots of her soul, so it is useless unless the knot can be untied..."
She shed tears in her eyes, and she was gone as she spoke. She helped Tan Qingxue up and said, "Mom, don't cry, I'll give you candy, okay? I'll take you back to change clothes..."
"No, I don't want candy, I want cranes, I want cranes!"
Tan Qingxue was just like a child throwing a tantrum.
Li An sighed slightly in his heart, walked over, and said, "Qingxue."
Just a word.
Tan Qingxue, who was rolling on the ground, was suddenly stunned, stood up, and looked at Li An. "Mother! Did you remember something? This is Uncle Li. You said Uncle Li is a good man. Did you remember something?" Li Nianxue was very excited when she saw this. "Miss Nianxue, I want to talk to your mother about the past." Li An said. Li Nianxue nodded and turned to leave. Before leaving, she said, "I... I'll go to the Sutra Library to read books and come back tomorrow." Over the years, she already knew that the relationship between Li An and her mother was not simple. They were once husband and wife in the lower world, but later she lost all her memories, and she couldn't even remember her father Li Yunxiao, but only remembered Li An... She also felt sad and angry for her father in her heart, and even hated Tan Qingxue for a while, but what could she do? In the end, she compromised. As long as her mother could return to normal, she didn't care about anything else... Besides, now that Li Yunxiao has passed away, Tan Qingxue still has a good life ahead of her. It is common for her to find another Taoist partner. She cannot ask Tan Qingxue to remain a widow for life. In this case, even if Tan Qingxue finds Li An as her new Taoist partner, what's wrong with that? On the contrary, it may be better?
Her figure has disappeared and walked away.
Li An was puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he walked in front of Tan Qingxue. His life seed power had already started to work, and his soul power was also secretly released, alertly and carefully investigating Tan Qingxue's every move.
"Li An,"
Tan Qingxue's beautiful eyes full of pure childishness flashed a trace of confusion, but she couldn't remember anything, and only murmured: "I should know you, but, why can't I remember anything?..."
Li An sighed and helped her wipe off the dirt on her face. Her face was no different from that year, especially her dress... which was also very familiar.
When she decided to leave Li An and return to Xuanyang Sect after parting at Qingyang Market, she wore this snow-white dress to say goodbye to Li An.
She has been wearing it for so many years... Could it be that the knot in her heart is really so deep?
"The crane bullied me just now."
Tan Qingxue didn't try to think about who Li An was. She said as if she was complaining, "Can you help me catch it?"
Li An said, "Okay."
So he took her to catch the crane. Although her cultivation had not completely disappeared, she had forgotten how to use it. Like a mortal, Li An embraced her and took off with the wind. The crane in the sky flapped its wings and was about to fly, but in the blink of an eye, the two were already on the crane's back.
"Flying up!!!"
Tan Qingxue screamed like a child, saying: "Ah, fly over there, fly over there, if there is a very red flower on the cliff over there, I will go over and pick it--"
Li An used the beast control method, and the crane took the two of them across the clouds, and flew to the cliff in the blink of an eye. Tan Qingxue reached out to pick the flower, and then put it on Li An's head, saying: "Hehe, wear the big red flower, you are the groom, the groom!"
Li An did not refuse, but just smiled at her.
"Keep flying, let's go catch other cranes--"
In this way, Li An took Tan Qingxue and flew in the clouds, and soon flew out of the range of Yaozu Peak, Tiandao Peak, Changqing Peak, Xiajian Peak, Tan Qingxue went wherever she wanted, and Li An let her do whatever she wanted.
When the crane arrived at some places with strict management, some disciples rushed out to stop it, but when they saw that it was Li An, they were all shocked and hurriedly moved away, not daring to say anything.
Li An knew that there would definitely be some gossip if he took Tan Qingxue to play like this, but these things were not important to him. As the Supreme, who would dare to talk about him publicly?
Besides, Dao Sect would soon be gone, so he didn't care about these rumors.
Words were like wind, blowing past your ears, and you couldn't lose a piece of meat.
The most important thing for him now was to determine the state of Tan Qingxue's soul.
Soon, Tan Qingxue was tired of flying, so she pestered Li An and said she wanted to go home. Li An took her back to the Demon Ancestor Peak. She went to the fields to pull radishes, dig potatoes, and pick corn, saying that she wanted to cook for Li An. Li An was also surprised. He didn't know where she got so many crops from the mortal world, but he didn't think much about it, so he accompanied her to cook a meal.
Her cooking skills were already rusty, so Li An asked her to peel potatoes and cook by her side, and Tan Qingxue helped him obediently without making any noise.
Soon, a delicious mortal dinner was ready. During the meal, she insisted on asking Li An to pick up some dishes for her. Li An obeyed her. She ate a lot, and her stomach felt swollen. She said, "Li An, accompany me to watch the sunset."
The two climbed to the highest point of the Demon Ancestor Peak, and she leaned against Li An, watching the fiery red sun in the sky slowly set.
The afterglow was like fire. "Hehe, the sun is setting on me, does it look like a wedding dress? Groom, groom."
She laughed happily, and then suddenly said, "It's so strange, I should know you, I should be able to remember you..."
She raised her head, stared at Li An with her beautiful eyes, and said, "Do you want me to remember you?"
Li An's heart trembled slightly for no reason. He had been accompanying Tan Qingxue to do these boring things because he found that Tan Qingxue's state was actually very strange.
Her soul could wake up at any time.
Kill her?
Li An looked into her eyes, and thought of many things in his heart...
The innocent girl in the Futang of Xuanyang Sect, the wife who only wanted a child in Qingyang Market... Li An finally sighed softly and said, "I hope you forget everything and start over."
"Forget everything, just like the rising sun tomorrow, start over, don't indulge in the afterglow of today's sunset."
"Let it disappear."
An inexplicable sadness flowed out of Tan Qingxue's eyes. She said nothing, but tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Tomorrow, tomorrow when the sun rises, I will forget everything."
The night passed like this.
The next day, the sun rose again.
She didn't know when her head had been leaning on Li An's legs. She slept all night. In the morning, she opened her eyes and got up.
"You go--"
Li An had already detected the subtle changes in her soul. Her soul was indeed being reborn, and many things were cut off...Li An stood up and prepared to leave.
"You are a bad guy." She looked at Li An's back, as if she was saying the last words to him in the dissipating memories: "But no matter whether you are good or bad, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other--" Li An went down the Yaozu Peak. He was like walking on a muddy road, gently flicking the dust off his body, raising his eyes, and his steps were easy and firm. ... On the Yaozu Peak. The sun was shining, and the flowers bloomed again today. She died in her deep sleep yesterday, and was reborn when she woke up this morning. ... After Li An left the Yaozu Peak, he went straight back to the Taoist temple on Tiandao Peak and asked Li Qingran to prepare the classics related to the formation for him. The talisman has been initially completed and entered the threshold of the ninth level. Now, he has to seize the time to practice the relevant content of the formation. In the art of formation, there was once a world-shaking "power immortal" in the history of Dao Sect. It is said that this master of formation was very good at setting up formations with the power of heaven and earth. After becoming an immortal, he brought a kind of "formation" wherever he went, killing countless enemies, so he was called "power immortal".
He buried himself in cultivation.
...
In the blink of an eye, another five hundred years passed.
It has been a thousand years since Li An returned to Dao Sect!
During the five hundred years, he also had a deeper understanding of the art of formation, integrated the notes and experiences of many senior masters, and practiced it at Tiandao Peak.
Tiandao Peak is one of the places with the strongest power of heaven and earth in Dao Sect.
"To set up formations with the power of creation, the key is to follow the trend, understand the existence and laws of the power of creation, and then gently lead it, and kill people..."
It took him fifty years to make certain "fine adjustments" to the "power" of Tiandao Peak, making the place where his Taoist temple is located a natural forbidden area!
This kind of forbidden force is natural. The power of destiny is disordered, but it has become a long wall, which is difficult to cross. Li An is confident that even if a master of the Tribulation Stage attacks, it is impossible to break it!
Now Li An is a true great cultivator in both formations and talismans, and it is difficult to find an opponent below the immortal way!
It's just that his cultivation level still needs some time to reach the late Mahayana stage.
But the strength of his great power is far beyond that of people of the same level.
"If I strike now, maybe I can cut the cultivation level of a Mahayana cultivator into nothingness in a short time?!"
He secretly estimated.
Of course, it is too difficult to make a Mahayana cultivator disappear directly... and it goes against the way of destiny, but it is highly likely that his cultivation level can disappear in a short time, such as within a few seconds!
When cultivators at this level fight, life and death are just a matter of one or two moments.
That's enough. He even thought that it might affect the cultivation of the cultivators in the Crossing Tribulation Period to a certain extent.
From this perspective, the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art is simply against the will of heaven. Imagine, if he lives for tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years, how terrifying will his power be?
Carefully creating a gap in time and space...
Who can defeat him?
Of course, this is still a long way off.
At present, his life seed has accumulated the power of time for two thousand years, and this kind of magical power can affect the state of cultivation of life.
Outside his retreat, Li Qingran, under his instructions, planted many spiritual medicines, etc., all of which were top seeds in the Dao Sect, and not those "pseudo-immortal medicines" from foreign lands. Li An walked out of the retreat, and with a flick of his finger, an inexplicable force of the Great Dao fell, and a three-hundred-year-old Fire Spirit Grass suddenly spit out hot flames from it, and the grass leaves shot out several feet high!
If other people saw it, they would be shocked, because the Fire Spirit Grass needs at least five hundred years to reach this stage.
But Li An seemed to have increased the medicinal age of this grass by two hundred years out of thin air.
"For spiritual grass, two hundred years is the upper limit..."
Li An waved his hand, and a crane suddenly landed in front of him. Li An dropped it with the power of the Great Dao, and the whole body of the crane trembled. Li An observed carefully, and the bone age of the crane suddenly increased by about twenty years!
For spiritual grass and living creatures, there is a tenfold difference.
"I have absorbed the power of two thousand years. The limit of the impact on spiritual grass plants is two hundred years, and the limit of the impact on living creatures is twenty years
? "
Li An guessed that it seemed to be a ten to one ratio.
But he also understood that the scope of the impact would definitely be affected by the different targets. For example, if Li An attacked an immortal, it would be difficult to affect the other party's life traces for several months...
Li An was quite satisfied, and then he destroyed the spiritual herb and the crane with a flick of his finger. He didn't want others to know his ability.
"Well, a secret summon from the sect? "
The jade talisman on his body lit up, a sign of summoning the Supreme to discuss important matters, and his figure immediately disappeared from the spot.
Soon after, he appeared in the sect's main hall.
After a thousand years of peace, the outside world finally began to surge-
Since the last appearance of the foreign land, the return of the immortals has caused a huge wave in the world.
The powerful immortals returned, and brought an unprecedented Taoism. They built an immortal city, preached scriptures in the immortal city, and provided a large amount of immortal materials, which made people in the world crazy.
For a time, countless geniuses joined these immortals.
Even the major forces such as the Brahma Sect, the Five Elements Sect, and the Sun and Moon Sect were all eyed. These returning immortals It has become a newly rising force, and it is in its heyday.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed, and these immortal cities have achieved something, and many new immortals have been born from them.
"According to the news, the returning immortals have been in close contact recently, and it seems that a ceremony is going to be held..."
Although Dao Zong has been hiding, it has been paying attention to worldly affairs, and it must have sent corresponding spies into many immortal cities, so the news is very well-informed.
"Originally, there were no less than two hundred immortals returning from foreign lands. After hundreds of years of development, it has exceeded a thousand. This is a watershed. Thousands of immortals should be able to affect many things. If their ceremony succeeds, it may shake the foundation of the entire spiritual world and even create opportunities for foreign lands to descend."
Su Yebai, the head of Dao Zong, reported, "My great masters, where should my Dao Zong go?"
Tai Qingzi, Ku Yuanzi and others were thinking.
"Can the world be destroyed this time? Can foreign lands descend completely? "
A corpse-reincarnated immortal asked, and he pondered: "If so, we should also act."
"But if this time, the world is still unbreakable, we need to wait a little longer."
Everyone seemed a little unsure.
Li An also vaguely guessed that Dao Zong's hidden plan seemed to need to be carried out when the world was completely broken?
Dao Zong had been planning hard, so many immortals were missing, gave up many interests in the world, and retreated until now, and even many middle and lower levels in the sect were disloyal and rebelled against the sect... It can be seen that this is a gamble of Dao Zong.
The success or failure of this plan... must be very important.
"Unfortunately, we can no longer contact the foreign land. This time is really difficult to judge..."
Ku Yuanzi sighed.
Li An pondered for a while, and still said: "I think this time, the world will not be broken."
"This should be only the second time the world changes. There should be a third time. By then, it will be the time when the spirit world will be truly destroyed. "
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on his face.
"What did Li Taishang say...? "
"Did you learn about it from a foreign land?"
Everyone was concerned.
Li An just shook his head, "There is no basis. I just feel that the spiritual world has been born for countless years and has nurtured countless civilizations. Just like a flood that has accumulated, it is definitely not easy to burst in an instant. These immortals sent back from foreign lands can only open a gap and weaken the heavenly way——"
Of course, he would not tell the truth of the Purple Fairy's prophecy. In fact, he could pretend not to know and not participate in this matter.
What does it have to do with him whether Dao Zong succeeds or fails?
As long as his plan goes smoothly, the most important thing is to be able to help him. They should all be able to obtain the Hongmeng Immortal Light in the end.
But... Li An still hopes that Dao Zong can succeed from the bottom of his heart.
Soon, the strangeness will come, and the world will be dark... If he can do something to keep the sparks a little longer, maybe he will have more help when he resists the alien world in the future.
On the road to fighting the strangeness, everyone is on the same line.
And...
He still has some recognition and admiration for what Dao Zong has done from the bottom of his heart.
So, just say a few words.
"There is some truth in this, but it is still just a guess."
"Yes, we have thought about it before, but who can predict the actions of the alien world? If the estimate is wrong, it will be really doomed."
Everyone shook their heads.
Only Ku Yuanzi and Tai Qingzi looked at each other, and both nodded slightly, and then Ku Yuanzi said: "At this point, we can only take a gamble."
"This time, keep the troops in place! "
"Wait, keep waiting, I want to believe that there will be a third great change in the world!"
The Dao Sect's policy for dealing with this chaos was thus determined.
...
And at this moment.
Spiritual world.
"The world will hold a ceremony to make immortals. Once successful, we will be able to inherit the great way of the True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, and even higher realms!"
The immortal cities created by the returning immortals are in full swing!
...
